There do not seem to be doubts.
It was a suicide! - C'est incroyable! - They can already take it.
Call then, Inspector-chief Japp.
He was living in the floor from above with the sister.
It did not walk depressed done not even not even irritated.
By chance it did not notice anything when it was with him this morning? Absolutely not at all.
It can be said that it was the normality in person.
- When this tragedy took place? - It is not possible to say, for certain.
It seems to nobody to have heard the shot.
It was found about 13h30 for the steamship, Alfred Biggs.
To which hours did it call M.
Morley his last patient? To 12h05.
And it told the boy to enter the patient who was waiting.
A such one of Mr.

It is accommodated in the Hotel Astoria, according to the book of markings.
And to which hours did it go out, this Mr.
Amberiotis? The boy did not accompany it to the exit therefore, he does not know.
I called the hotel.
You.
Amberiotis he says that while going out it looked at the clock and they were exactamente, 12h25.
Then, to 12h25 we have a dentist well, competent and polite.
And of a moment for other Despair, unhappiness and one kills? I am surprised enough by what my brother has committed suicide! It was keeping then, on being the same person of always? - Did not it walk disturbed by anything? - It was irritated.
It had ahead one day very occupied, and his spectator it had received a telegram saying that his aunt had had a heart attack.
It left for Yorkshire in the train of the morning.
And his brother had it been irritated by that? The truth is what his spectator had been a fiancee of an unsuitable boy for you.
It began to find that the boy it had convinced it taking away the day.
- What does this boy? - Frank Carter is or it was, seller of insurances.
It lost the job there are some weeks and it does not manage to arrange other.
His brother tried to convince it finishing this engagement? In fact, yes.
This Frank Carter have to have, then, a resentment against his brother.
She is the Beauty queen Nevill.
It returned And it seems to be out of you.
It was completely a joke of bad taste! It did not happen at all to the Aunt! It was surprised with my sudden visit.
He is sure what was not his friend, Sump, which sent to him the telegram? Frank? For which reason would it do it? I am seeing where it wants to arrive A combination of ours? We would not do such thing! Call, mademoiselle, what patients would Dr.

Pinner.
It comes from Worthing.
If one does not matter, Alfred, call, someone is possible to enter at this home, without his authorization? It is impossible! Not being what have a key.
But is going out very easy? Most of the persons it goes down for the staircases, while I accompany those who arrive in the elevator.
He saw you left.
Amberiotis? No.
It must have gone out alone.
But he is sure of what more nobody did it enter here, only the patients? The young fiance of Beauty queen Nevill it passed this way It was a little irritated because of not finding it.
We still did not know of this! When there said what Beauty queen Nevill it had taken away the day, it was enraged.
He said that it would be going to wait to speak with you.
Morley.
And it went to the waiting room.
He must have seen it there, man.
The perturbed young person, what did not wanted to be been seated.
It must have got tired of waiting.
Any more late, already it was not there.
For what reason, Inspector Japp, a police officer as the man it is called for a case of apparent suicide? Alistair Blunt was here.
You.
Blunt is the type of persons with what we deal in this country.
It means that there is the one who was liking of taking away the way? He can be sure of that.
First of all, the communists.
And our fascist friends.
It is a Blunt and his group who is behind the new government.
It is what it was already making calculations! - Talk to me of M.
Blunt.
- Of Alistair Blunt? It is him who controls the participations of the Arnholt in Europe, as well as the commercial banks.
One annexed to the family for marriage.
We will not be going to waste much time with him.
I want to return to the Astoria.
You.
it seems to Amberiotis to have been to last person to see you.
lively Morley.
It is the second time this year, what my boarding house is not paid at time.
He will speak with the bank, or with the administrators, Julia.
If at least my poor sister it was alive.
One was alive, mother, it would not be beneficiary of his will.
It is very wicked what you are saying, Jane! It is not wicked it is true! The truth usually is wicked! I lament, Julia, but I cannot do anything.
When I die, it will be able to do what he will want with the bottoms.
Up to there Up to there, I have to hardly it will exist I do not even call him to live of the piety of the trustees.
what is called a " piety ".
It thinks that Rebecca would be going to want that I was living on his charity? It is not a charity The Inspector-chief Japp and one Mr.
Poirot waits for it, man.
Tell them to enter, please.
- Inspector-chief Japp? - How it is, man? - This is you.
Hercule Poirot.
- I already heard his name.
M.
Poirot! - But very recently - This morning, M.
Blunt.
In the waiting room of the dentist.
The pauvre M.
Morley Yes, clear! I knew what had already seen it! - Pauvre? - You.
Morley was found dead man, somewhat after has been going out, man.
Apparently it will have been a suicide.
- The Morley? Suicide? - It is extraordinary! Want to apologize.
This is my niece, Miss Olivera, and his mother, you.
Olivera.
Mademoiselle.
Lady He had never heard of a dentist who was committing suicide.
That would never happen in The United States, he can be sure.
They are too rich to be killed.
It was looking to him of good health and arrangement this morning, Mr.
Blunt? Dressing what yes.
- Was he seeing it very often? - It was mine 3rd.
Or 4th.
It consults.
M.
Blunt, who recommended him you.
Morley? The Arnholt.
One of my directors, Lionel Arnholt.
We are questioning if instead of suicide will not have been a murder, and if the true target, he would not be the man.
That does not do sense any! Nothing does at this moment, man.
The problem is this.
Good night.
We would like speaking with you.
Amberiotis Lament, but it is not possible, a man.
It is yes, my boy Police officer! It is not realizing, man.
You.
Amberiotis died that there is half an hour.
- Interesting! - Interesting, Dr.
Bennett? You.
Amberiotis died of cardiac stopping.
Cardiac stopping! It was the result of an overdose of adrenalin and novocaína.
- Which the quantity of the dose? - It is still not a possible knowledge.
These quantitative analyses get a beating time.
Tomorrow I will be able already to say to him.
The novocaína is what the dentists do they usually administer, right? Exactamente, Inspector-chief.
The subject must have gone to a dentist.
- What fiasco! - How so, Inspector-chief? Morley commits a mistake and it injects an overdose.
After the Amberiotis to go out, it realizes what it did, does not hold out and one kills.
With a pistol what does not know to have? The relatives do not know everything! - This is really a truth.
- There have, then! I am still not totally satisfied, Inspector-chief.
Be livened up, Poirot! Interesting murders as this one they do not appear to the whole hour.
Did it commit suicide? Wretch! It had to have any thing in the head.
Let's cheer troubled times! He seemed to him preoccupied, Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale? I cannot say to him what yes.
He can tell us who more saw in waiting room while there it was? Let me see It was only a young person when I entered.
It had to be suffering because it was murmuring for own you and it seemed crazy.
And suddenly, one stood up and it went away.
And it was the only patient whom he saw? A gentleman was coming to go down them staircases and it went out when I rose.
And a very strange foreigner it went out when I entered.
Was I, lady.
Cost me God! Forgive for me! - It is so dark here.
- One abates, lady.
I think that it is completely, Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale.
Perhaps let's need you for to testify in the inquiry, it is clear.
I am going to be so nervous! It is not necessary to be nervous, a lady.
It is alone to stand up and to speak clearly.
That is very funny, Inspector-chief.
Billet? I was already an actress.
You punish small papers.
- And I left in a travel for the world - Very well, then If my name to appear in the newspapers, like witness of the inquiry, they do not go away to deceive writing it, is not it? She is a Beauty queen Mabelle Sainsbury Seale.
One writes: The b-e e-l-l l-l-e l-e to b-e e-l-l l-l-e l-e M - and.
God forbid! I me them have lament a little time, Mr.
Poirot.
I am going to see " There Traviata " to a Covent Garden.
I thank for him, M.
Arnholt.
What it the question is, at last? Of the death of the dentist, the M.
Henry Morley.
He was not you what recommended it to M.
Blunt? Yes.
There are years that there I go.
- Is not he thinking that I killed it? - No, no Quelle idee, non.
But I question myself if M.
Blunt she will not have been the planned victim.
I do not see how.
Not even I, for the time being, M.
Arnholt.
Let's be do attempts! Call, the Mme.
Olivera, coined of M Blunt, is she a dame formidable, ne c'est shovels? - You had had to! Since it accepted the Mme.
Olivera, what Was M.
Blunt getting married with his sister? At last, it was not passing of a mere one employee of the business of family.
I would not say "merely"! Alistair was leading ours transatlantic department.
I do not think that the aunt Julia was thinking so.
It was obvious what were adored.
Nobody knew, me them she was already suffering of disease that would kill it 4 years later.
Tragic what! Yes.
Pardon.
I do not detain it any more of his M.
Verdi.
Mr.
Arnholt, I thank for him the patience and I wait that the opera pleases him.
" I do not want milk.
Tell to Nelly that I would leave " He was thinking that you.
Amberiotis it had died of cardiac stopping caused by an overdose of novocaína and adrenalin.
Me it said that the dentist who treated it Mr.
Amberiotis in the day of his death is dead man himself he? - It was what it me was in, also.
- Thank you, Dr.
Bennett.
- Thank you.
Great doubts do not remain, my men, of treating a case of accidental death A very unfortunate case.
You will have.
given Morley acidentalmente to his patient, an exaggerated dose of the anesthetic, or you will have.
Amberiotis when a reaction was done invulgar? Once what, also you.
Morley it is now dead, we will never know the answer.
However, it is your duty, members of the jury, they take into account all hypotheses before the final verdict.
I must remind of them myself they that, before of a verdict of accidental death Nobody sees Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale from Tuesday.
Such a nice lady And it seemed so happy here! It did not want to bother it, man, but I remembered myself that she was it testifies in this another case.
It did very well, Beddoes.
Because it would go does it link to disappear? Does it admit that it is curious? It is not there very amusing! I asked informations to Calcutá on her.
The telegram of answer it arrived last night.
She was for there like an actress and then it was dedicated to the good actions.
It seems that one gathered the missionaries.
What I call, woman terrible.
But not of the type of be wrapping in a murder.
Did it discover anything? Stockings probably 2 shillings and 11 pence.
It is not doing an evaluation, Poirot.
Mr.
Poirot? Mlle.
Nevill, what pleasant surprise.
I lament to preoccupy it, to see was needing them to me.
I was very perturbed with the inquiry of this morning.
It cannot have been how they say.
What administered an overdose The dentists get used soon giving the regulation doses.
That did not say them to me in Court of Criminal Investigation? I was afraid of making the things worse.
They might think what the fez intentionally.
Are we going to continue this conversation? Come.
He would like knowing a little more on the telegram that it received to leave in this day.
- Does it have any opinion on that? - Not properly.
Frank, my friend, accused me of wanting to go out with another person.
It has been walking very grumpy and I suspect recently.
I think that it is because of having lost the work and not to arrange other.
And it was irritated when he knew is not what had gone away, so? Yes.
Vine to tell to me that it had when a marvellous job was arranged.
You support 10 weekly! He wanted that I knew soon.
And which new work is this? I do not know the details.
An any department of the government.
I write for his residence in London, and the letters are returned.
- Does not it seem to him strange? - It was what I thought But Frank says that that it is normal, nowadays.
It would like knowing very much this his friend, mademoiselle.
His the only free day is to Sunday.
During the week it is in the field.
Eh bien, tomorrow is a Sunday.
To speak truth, I am full of hearing of the death of the Morley.
It does not seem to me that there was it swims of extraordinary one in him.
Call, M.
Sump, because it was in Harley Street in this day? I saw it in the waiting room.
There the Morley says to that it was time of stopping putting the Glady against me.
What had arranged a good job, and what she was time of dismiss and to begin to think about the trousseau.
He did not come saying them to him these things? I gorged myself of waiting in that cave and me I went away.
- To which hours did it leave? - I do not look like myself.
I will go.
The march it must be beginning.
It was a pleasure to know it, M.
Sump.
And I am bewitched in knowing of his new job.
The work is interesting, ne c'est shovels? Yes, the normal thing Even for the week, Gladys.
- Goodbye, Frank.
- Au revoir, M.
Sump.
- Does it receive visits, mon ami? - Saint Deus! - Poirot! - Inspector-chief.
What brings it the Isleworth to a Sunday in the afternoon? I work, as always! - It comes to drink a soup bowl of tea.
- Thank you.
The Mme.
Is not Japp at home? No.
It had a blessed meeting.
In the Institute of the Women or Parochial Advice I do not know.
- Does he want sugar, Poirot? - Has not it by chance tisane? Be stopped that, Poirot.
This is Isleworth, she is not Juan les Pins.
Which work is this, at last? By chance they did not manage to locate the telegram sent to the Mlle.
Nevill? By chance, we get.
Quite intelligent The aunt lives in Richmond, Yorkshire.
The telegram was handed in Richmond, Surrey, in the end of the street.
- Does what I find, Inspector-chief know? - Say there.
I think that there are signs of intelligence in this history.
The Joined Commissioner is convinced that Morley committed suicide.
And it is convinced of the disappearance of the lady? The case of the lost Seale? No.
We keep on working in that.
It will be in some side.
Biscuits Garibaldi? And I find that my feelings they must be taken into account, Alistair.
- And they were taken into account, mother.
- It is true, Julia.
- You are here.
Poirot, Mr.
Blunt.
- Thank you, Helen.
- Mr.
Poirot.
Just as well what came.
- M.
Blunt.
They go away to talk about horrible things, I go away.
- Allow me - We are at home, Jane.
Lady.
- Did it already know Beauty queen Olivera? - Certainly.
Mademoiselle.
- Do favor.
- Thank you.
I wait not to have called it here for nothing, Mr.
Poirot.
It is because of the lost woman about what they speak the newspapers - Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale.
- Yes? Jane, I am certain what is not important.
I do not know because we are spending the time of the Mr.
Poirot If one does not matter, M.
Blunt, leave on what Poirot decides.
Sainsbury Seale is a name so pompous! Therefore I look like myself.
It was the last time what the uncle Alistair went to a dentist.
I do not refer to that day, they are to me around one week We were joined and we stopped in Harley Street.
When it was going out from the car, a woman left from the dentist.
It had middle age, a hair noisy and antiquated clothes.
" Mr.
Blunt, is not looked of me! " Immense times say that to me, and I never look like myself.
- " It was very friendly of his wife.
" - Also they usually say that to me.
It always finishes likewise: One contribution for any charity.
This time they were 5 pounds for a Mission Zenana.
And it had known in fact his wife, M.
Blunt? The reference to the Mission Zenana he made me think so.
Be four years we were in India, even before the death of my woman.
Perhaps we have known it in the reception, one day.
I found the form strange like it tried to arrange a connection with you.
And it did not try, as one says him to proceed? No.
I had already forgotten his name, until Jane sees in the newspaper.
I thought that he had to know, M.
Poirot.
" Lady of lost Kensington.
" Alison! They speak here in a woman what came here.
Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale.
He says here that it is lost.
Has not it a key schoolmistress? - I had never any.
- We cannot break the door down.
- And if him something happened? - And did it go away on holidays? Force, Sergeant! - Mrs.
Chapman? - We treat this.
Mrs.
Chapman? Is anybody there? Mrs.
Chapman? Is anybody here? It is the quarter of arrangements.
- What is that one? - I do not know.
- Does he want that it opens, Sergeant? - Open, then.
It is not very pleasant of seeing! He is the caretaker to vomit, man.
I asked him to see the body identifying.
There is brandy in another room.
It was not pleasant at all of seeing Tell to me everything, Inspector-chief.
The apartment belongs you.
Albert Chapman.
There has no much to count on her.
Pay his counts, it likes playing bridge and she is a stand-offish person.
The neighbors say what rarely were seeing it.
You.
Chapman, is a salesman-traveler and it is nearly always out of house.
And the Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale? It came here after the interview what we did to him.
About 19h15.
The woman of the caretaker was doing the cleaning and it saw it arriving.
It had already here been before, according to the caretaker.
A thing is certain, Sylvia Chapman, or his friends, killed it, they put it in the box and escaped.
But because it had the face so mistreated? Pure vengeance, perhaps.
Or perhaps they wanted to hide the identity of the woman.
I do not know.
We did not find anyone fingerprints.
It means what put them out all after the murder? It seems to be that itself.
Is it preoccupied, Poirot? Yes.
I am seriously preoccupied.
We have here an insoluble problem.
A shoe of wealth, with buckle.
- What hardly has that? - It swims.
Absolutely not at all! Even so, I do not understand.
Pertaining counts to the Mme.
Chapman.
Programs of ancient shows.
- A pamphlet on the Mission Zenana.
- And we can guess the one who brought it Also not at all of great interest in the book of residences, man.
I realize Hairdressers, dressmakers dentist.
Morley, 168 Harley Street.
It is not of finding strange, once what she was a friend of Sainsbury Seale.
Pardon.
Mr.
Poirot! - What brings it here? - Call, please His brother sometime made reference to a Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale or Mme.
Chapman? No.
I believe that not.
I managed to do this before they were taking everything, Beauty queen Morley.
Thank you, Agnes.
- Does it want a soup bowl, man? - Not thank you, Agnes.
Agnes comes with me for the field.
One is becoming excellent cook and it will be able to do everything to me.
The question forgives me, man but one knows already more on the death of the Master? There is no news, Agnes.
They continue convinced what was a suicide because of the mistake with that drug? Yes.
Because it asks? - He wanted only - Agnes! - He wanted to be hardly sure, man.
- Agnes! - Inspector-chief! - We have no time, Poirot.
We found you.
E you.
Albert Chapman! Where? They rented a room in the Hotel Montague, this morning.
- The Hotel Montague in Bloomsbury? - Exactamente.
It does not find stranger, what being escaping, after killing the Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale, have not they escaped for any more far? With the criminals one never knows, Poirot.
Open! - Who is? - Police officer! - Police officer? - Open the door, Mr.
Chapman.
Nobody needs of being hurt.
He is you.
Albert Chapman? Yes.
And this is you.
Chapman? Yes.
What means this? I ask the questions, man.
There grasp the number 45, Lichfield Court, in Battersea - No.
What it means with "not"? We do not live.
That's right Beryl? - Beryl? - What is the problem of the name " Beryl "? We know that one calls Sylvia, Mrs.
Chapman.
About what he is talking? We grasp Budleigh Salterton, and not in this such one of Lichfield! - Do I calculate what have proofs of that? - No, I have not - Yes, I have! - It watches it, Beddoes.
What is this? They are our sentences of marriage, it wants to be known.
We married this morning.
I swear for Todo Deus Todo-Poderoso to say the truth, you punish the truth, and it swims more than the truth.
- He is you.
John Leatheran? - Yes, man.
- And is he a dentist? - Yes, man.
I occupied the surgery of the died one Mr.
Morley in Harley Street.
It was recently called for to examine the body of the died one and to do his identification.
- Is not it true? - Yes, man.
The police officer was believing to be the body of Beauty queen Mabelle Sainsbury Seale, a patient of the Mr.
Morley.
It inherited also the patient ancients of the Mr.
Morley? Exactamente, man.
- And also his dental registers? - Certainly! And it managed to identify the body from these registers? I got, man.
It was not the Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale.
She was you.
Sylvia Chapman.
A patient other one of the Mr.
Morley.
The beauty Mabelle deceived us well! I never imagined it ably to kill, but it is what it looks, now.
Sylvia did not kill the Mabelle it is the Mabelle that killed Sylvia.
Perhaps I reminded of myself that the Morley it could have been murdered, and therefore, it could not to identify the body.
Me them as he had just heard, Inspector-chief, the registers would keep on existing.
It is right.
I am going to return to the work.
Inspector-chief, this morning I received a letter of M.
Blunt.
It invited me for his house in the field.
Perhaps want that it investigates something.
It was always moved in circles social lifted up, Poirot! Has not Helen dinner today with us? I suggested him that it would be better for her to be resting of what to have the work to be arranged to come here down.
She realized my idea I thought that it would be a good change for her.
I do not realize because it needs of a secretary to weekend.
It is still new in this.
It needs of learning many things.
M.
Poirot I am not satisfied with several things.
What it wants of me, M.
Blunt? I want that it finds this woman, Sainsbury Seale.
Lively or dead? Does it think that it can be killed? I think that it can be killed, yes.
And because such a thing thinks? Because of a couple of stockings of silk news what I found.
- He is a gentle man, M.
Poirot.
- Yes, I am Very gentle! In other words I am methodical, organized and logical.
And I do not like distorting the facts to support a theory.
Good morning! - Good morning, M.
Poirot.
Did it sleep well? - Very well, thank you, Mr.
Blunt.
- Good morning, mademoiselle.
- Good morning, Mr.
Poirot.
It was preferring not to accept anyone invitations, Mr.
Blunt, while it will be with his American relatives.
Good morning! Julia, seems what hurt the feelings of Helen.
For the sake of God, Alistair, it does not pass of a secretary.
I repaired what has a gardener what it must have contracted recently.
We employed one there are some weeks.
Does he know of where it came? Lament, but not.
He was MacAlister, the chief of the gardeners, who contracted it.
How does one call? I do not know Dunning, Sunbury Similar something with this.
They seem which many people want his blood, uncle Alistair! To serious? What is reading? ' The discussion in the palace '.
And you punish the Archerton.
If we were letting it do what he wants, it was taking soon England to the bankruptcy.
He knew that there are more than 2 millions of unemployed people in this country? Omelettes are not done without breaking eggs, Jane.
I take into account everything, even we are very well.
The industrial production increased Do not take notice of what Jane says.
He knows how the girls are They go to those parties in apartments, and they say only nonsenses again.
Mother! It seems that I am one of the last ones of the Old guard, Mr.
Poirot.
And if the Old guard was removed, what would happen? I tell him what I would happen.
An idiots' hill would do a hill of expensive experiences.
It would be the end of the stability, of the common sense and of the solvency.
Clear that we were always proud of our fences.
They give immense work, but always I found what were worthwhile.
These flowers are very pretty! They are particularly pretty this year.
And see these Holy God! - Release this weapon! - I was not, he said already to him! Was it shooting to the birds, I suppose? Mr.
Blunt? I caught it with the hand in the jug! It was alone watering the flowerbeds.
I heard a shot and the weapon it me fell on the feet.
I caught it and this idiotic cow it jumped me in top So well, Dunnin Dunbury How do you call? One calls Frank Carter.
You me were already walking preparing this! I did not shoot shot any! In this case, who fired? Since he can see, only here we are.
It is not necessary to annoy, Mlle.
Nevill.
First, they want to accuse Frank of you try to kill.
Blunt and now, they accuse him of the death of the poor person Sr.
Morley.
- Acuçar? - Not thank you.
I was there, in Exsham, when I was when the shot was shot against M.
Blunt.
They are these fascists! They march thereabouts with his standards, they do his ridiculous greetings, and they press these poor men, like Frank, until they intend to be doing something marvellous and patriotic.
- And the defense is this of M.
Sump? - No! I did not see it, clearly.
They did not leave me.
It has a lawyer to work for you what told me what Frank said to him.
It knew a man in a guest house, what to be said to him of the Secret Services.
It offered to Frank a marvellous job.
It should accept a gardener's place and to listen to the conversations of the colleagues, probing you sweat them communist tendencies.
It would pretend to be also he not much communist.
And the lawyer thinks that it is better his client to think in a more credible history? Lawyers! Do not even imagine as they are difficult! Mlle.
Nevill, which it found of the servant, Agnes? I did not think at all of her.
The sister of the Mr.
Morley was maintaining the servants under eye.
Because it asks? It wrote to me a letter and I still do not know why.
Thank you! - His tea, lady.
- Thank you.
I wait what has not been imported because of having written to him that letter.
He did not want that it was going there to house.
Something was said at the front of Beauty queen Morley he would be going to say what it must have told it to him before.
I and the cook read in the newspaper that the Master had committed a mistake with it drugs that one and what had been killed, therefore it seemed to me obvious, does not it find, man? When he began to think in the different form, Agnes? When I read in the newspaper on that Frank Carter what had fired on a gentleman.
Up to that time, we never thought what it could have done something to a Mr.
Morley.
Only we found not much strangely What was do I find strange, Agnes? It was in that morning, man when you.
Morley killed himself.
There was thinking it should to dare going to look low there for the mail.
I approached the staircases and I looked down.
It was then that the vi This Frank Carter was down there.
It seemed that it was to the wait.
Then it seemed to have made up his mind, and it went down hurriedly towards the surgery of the Master.
I thought for own me, " the Master is not going to like this ".
It was then that the cook called me and I would return for the kitchen.
Then he knew that the Master it had committed suicide and it was so awful what everything put out of my memory.
Call, Agnes, he came seeing it to enter in the surgery of M.
Morley? It must have entered, man.
To which hours was it that? They had to be 12h30, man.
- I want to see Frank Carter.
- What the idea is? Is it be opposing? Why does he want to see the Sump? To ask about him if really did he murder the Morley? Yes.
And I calculate what thinks what will be going to answer him? Perhaps answer me.
That means what knows something what perhaps proves his innocence.
It had to be honest with us, Poirot.
I am be honestly with you, Inspector-chief, believes in me.
It is a lie! He paid to him in order that she says that! The rage does not help anything, M.
Sump.
Agnes will be going to count his history and they will believe in her.
It was in the staircases and Agnes saw it.
And it entered in the surgery of M.
Morley.
- What happened then? - It is a lie! No It is not a lie.
One did not kill M.
It sweats the only Morley hope is to tell to me all the truth on what it went on in that morning.
God curses it if it disillusions me now.
I entered, in fact.
I went upstairs and waited near his surgery up to being sure of finding alone.
A gentleman of beards left and it went down the staircases.
It was deciding if it was entering, when another gentleman left what also went down the staircases.
He knew that it would be quick I entered in the surgery without knocking at the door.
It was ready to account with him.
Me them he was lying there, killed! I saw the hole of the bullet in his head, with a black crust of blood It was cold.
It could be put in an alhada.
They were going to say that I had killed it.
It had not touched anything, not being in his hand and in the doorknob of the door.
I cleaned it with a scarf from both sides while going out.
There was nobody in the entry and I escaped the quickest thing that I could.
This one is true! He was already killed.
Will believe in me! While saying the truth it was saved of being hung.
- I do not realize how.
They will be going to say - Mr.
Carter his history confirmed what I could already be true.
Now, it is with me! Japp! Poirot! Yes What? No, Poirot I will obtain an authorization.
He can say Right.
I will do the possible ones.
Thank you, Inspector-chief.
You.
Hercule Poirot, man.
It is because of Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale? Did it find it? I wait what is not been opposed, M.
Blunt, but I invited more some persons.
I am not going to walk handcuffed in the street.
It will walk in the street as I will say, boy.
I wait what is important, Alister.
That Belgian detective ordered us a totally insolent message.
Mother! Beauty queen Nevill arrived, man.
- Mlle.
Nevill.
- They still come more, M.
Poirot? They will come, perhaps let's be more you were comforting in the room of meetings.
The room of meetings is free, Beauty queen Montressor? Yes, Mr.
Blunt.
Frank! Let's go there, then! He continues under custody of His Majesty.
Show respect.
We go.
Mes dames et Monsieurs, good afternoon.
Three persons died from the beginning of this case.
The pauvre M.
Morley, the pauvre M.
Amberiotis and the pauvre Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale.
Did I think that it was still disappeared? No, not, not mademoiselle.
Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale was still killed before beginning the investigations.
The caretaker of Lichtfield Court it told to us that Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale it went to visit the Mme.
Chapman.
It saw it going to the apartment and to enter.
It did not go out again.
Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale it was not done not seen again until the police officer enters in the room of arrangements of Mme.
Chapman.
It means what was at last the body of Mabelle Sainsbury Seale? He was, in fact, Mlle.
Nevill.
It was a double bluff very intelligently! The disfigured face would stand up the question of the identity of the woman.
But for me the case began with a shoe.
While going out from my session in the dentist, it stopped a taxi and the door opened, and the foot of a lady it was prepared to go down.
It was a well done foot, with a perfection ankle and an expensive stocking.
The shoe was new, with a wealth diamond and a buckle to decorate.
When I could see the rest of the lady, I confess what I was disillusioned.
While going out from the car, Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale it fastened the buckle of the shoe what was pulled out.
I caught it and returned it to him.
- It is very nice! - It has not of what, my lady.
- Thank you! - It has not of what, my lady.
It was completely! The case was shut in! I lament to interrupt, Mr.
Blunt.
I already finished the mail, can I leave now? No, not, not, Mlle.
Montressor Please, one annexes to the party.
The M.
Poirot is exposing a few extraordinary theories.
Do favor - Continue, Poirot.
- Thank you.
When the Inspector-chief Japp it called me to the Court of Lichfield, because it had been found a body the first thing which I noticed it was in a shoe of buckle already expense.
Well then? It did not manage to realize the idea, M.
Blunt It was a spent shoe.
An already quite worn-out shoe.
The Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale it visited the apartment in the same night of the murder of M.
Morley.
In the morning, they were a few new shoes, and at night were they old? I do not see because it is important.
Eh bien, mademoiselle.
Poirot does not like things what could not explain.
The Mme.
Champman He knew that the Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale it was putting on a few stockings with 25 cm of foot, what means what was fitting at least the number 36.
Therefore I returned, to re-examine the body.
He was thinking that the face had been mutilated to hide the fact of being in truth, the body of the Mme.
Chapman put on with the clothes of Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale More non! The shoe was a number 36.
At last, it was even the body of Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale! Then, because it had the face so put out? For coincidence, the dentist of Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale the same of Mme was.
Chapman, the M.
Morley.
But it was killed.
However, the registers they were keeping on existing.
So, the successor of M.
Morley, would have when was able to identify the body I eat being it of Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale And it managed to identify the body from these registers? I got, man.
It was not Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale.
She was you.
Sylvia Chapman, a patient other one of the Mr.
Morley.
But one was the body of the Mme.
Chapman, because it was put on by the clothes of Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale? An interesting problem, ne c'est shovels? I thought again then about the Beauty queen.
Sainsbury Seale what I had known, and what the Inspector-chief had known.
I was already an actress.
You punish small papers.
And I left in a travel for the world And though completely in her and in what he was saying it was in completed sintonia with his character, I am convinced now of what the Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale what we know, and the Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale what went to you, M.
Blunt It is not remembered of me! The Gerda and I travelled boards.
they were not the same woman! It means what Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale it was murdered and did anybody assume his identity? - Precissement! A play a lot of dangerais, ne'cest shovels? But the rewards they were quite elevated.
Do you reward? What you reward? It is only a moment, if one does not matter, Mme.
Olivera.
Perhaps have murdered you.
Morley because of being able to identify the body of Beauty queen Sainsbury Seale through the teeth.
Perhaps.
However now, we will face the facts.
In the beginning we believed that the body of the M.
Morley had been an overdraft for the steamship, Alfred, to 13h30.
But now I know, that the body was discovered by M.
Frank Carter, around an hour before, about 12h30.
Two things happened, between the death of M.
Morley and the discovery of the body for the M.
Sump.
The lady to whom I returned the buckle of the shoe, it was received in the surgery of M.
Morley.
While his accomplice was dragging it body for the office of the secretary the second Mlee.
Sainsbury Seale, it was altering the registers of M.
Morley, to secure what the body seriates identified I eat it of Mme.
Chapman.
It goes away then though It tells Alfred to enter the next patient.
M.
Amberiotis still not knew the dentist, M.
Morley It bothers me from the travel of India.
So, our murderer it could assume his identity.
This dentist says M.
Amberiotis what it will be better the gum anaesthetizes.
It administers then an injection what count a dose of novocaína and andrenalina, sufficient killing six hours later.
But why? Because someone would like to kill this man? Because M.
Amberiotis had discovered something with the Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale.
It had discovered a secret.
A secret that it might to make great rich man.
I want to speak with you.
Alistair Blunt.
And you.
Amberiotis was a blackmailer.
It is suggesting that Amberiotis was it blackmailing me? How it might blackmail Alistair? Alistair has no secrets.
With all the respect, Mme.
Olivera, I will disagree with you.
M.
Blunt had a great secret, what it would maintain on the whole cost.
And only there is the form of dealing with a blackmailer It is to silence it once and for all.
M.
Amberiotis would be removed.
M.
Blunt turns the name of M.
Amberiotis in the list of wait of M.
Morley.
His chantageador it was frequenting the same dentist.
For today it must arrive.
Rinse one's mouth again, please.
M.
Blunt prepared then, a very intelligent plan.
A plan really intelligent! Wait what M.
Morley end his treatment and then it kills it.
While the dental registers they are forged, it drags the body for the office of the secretary.
I eat already he said, M.
Amberiotis it had never known M.
Morley, soon, it would not have motives to distrust nothing.
It administers the fatal injection and after his departure, it drags the body for the surgery, and it does so that everything seems a suicide.
I know that it has the best reputation, Mr.
Poirot, but in this case it was deceived tremendously.
Say to him of the boas, Alistair! The family of the Mr.
Blunt support it totally! I rest in knowing it, Mme.
Olivera.
He knows them to me, when M.
Blunt he married with his sister the Mlle.
Rebecca Arnholt, it was not totally honest with her, not even with his family.
Such as M.
Amberiotis came to know of the truthful Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale you.
Blunt was already married.
There is no need of keeping on hearing this.
- If not if - No, not, not, M.
Blunt.
It was dazzled by the family Arnholt for the perspectives Not so much for the wealth, but for the power.
So dazzled it was, what deliberadamente committed bigamy, with the permission of his truthful woman.
- That it plays the fool! - What beautiful this picture, M.
Blunt.
Seriate it in any room of meetings! M.
Blunt behind his beloved wife, Beauty queen Rebecca Arnholt.
However, Mesdames et Monsieur, I have here in the pocket a certificate of marriage between Martin Alistair Blunt and an actress, of name Mlle.
Gerda Alexandra Grant com it dates from 25 of April of 1925.
And Mlle.
Gerda Grant it is still perfectly lively.
In fact, it is in the same room.
And while living, she was your another woman.
And while loving myself, he was another my husband.
What Beatriz is? I answer for this name.
What your wish is? - Do not you love me? - Not above the reasonable one.
Do not be so sentimental, Mabelle.
You think that it is not sufficiently good for me.
It walks, Alistair I want to dance.
Gerda was quite enthusiastic with everything that one, is not it true? His talent like actress, Mlle.
Montressor it went to key for the fraud.
It connived with the bigamy of his husband.
While this one was prepared for one will annex to the family Arnholt, you were assuming the identity of Mme.
Sylvia Chapman.
- Be what a lot of time! - Hello, Mabelle.
It enters.
It brought you flowers.
When the truthful Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale met his husband again, he murdered his friendly old woman to cold blood It goes for the living room, this way.
But his actress's dowries they are again arranged on trial like second Mlle.
Sainsbury Seale.
- It is very nice! - It has not of what, my lady.
Unfortunately for you, Hercule Poirot it was who returned to him the buckle.
Having managed to deceive the Inspector-chief Japp, and to me or intending to have got, it is of use to be more near possible of his husband.
It assumes the name of Helen Montressor and one gathers him like his new secretary.
These people will never understand, that's right my darling? What so common people and without imagination! It would like what was understanding mine meeting and marriage with Rebecca.
Gerda understood, was not it, my old woman? We might have married again after Rebecca's death, he knows them to me we began to like of the whole secretismo.
She is a truthful actress.
It would be going to get annoyed if it was only a character.
Well then? I killed three persons.
Probably, it should be hung.
Did not I do them to myself anything for England? I maintained it solid and solvent.
I maintained it that it releases of dictators.
I am necessary for the continuation of the peace and well-being of this nation.
- Is he saying what I think? - Then and I? - There to leave that I was hung.
- Precissement! The M.
Blunt, with her sweats usual efficiency, it had made arrangements for you a second line of defense.
If the things were running badly, the man, M.
Sump, it would be the scapegoat.
For this height, M.
Blunt already knows it opinion of M.
Morley in his respect and it wraps it in a mysterious swindle like gardener.
These flowers are pretty.
Since it was easy for Helen Montressor, to shoot the shot in his direction and to release the weapon on his feet where it could catch him.
Release this weapon.
I help! It is caught by the hand in the jug.
And clear what nobody will believe in his ridiculous history of having been employ for Secret services.
What concerns the M.
Blunt, good can to finish his short life in the gallows.
I do not feel sorry for people like him.
Eh bien, M.
Blunt.
It is here that we disagree.
For me, the lives of those three persons, they are so important as it sweats it.
M.
Blunt, speech of the continuous peace of this nation That is very pretty! But Poirot is not preoccupied with the nations.
Poirot worries about the individuals, what have a right of not being deprived of his lives.
Martin Alistair Blunt and Gerda Alexandra Blunt, they are imprisoned under accusation of murder.
Please My poor sister! I do not even know because I am crying.
- Go there, mother.
- I never liked him.
Because we do not return for Nova Iorque? Could I have been, you knew? I think that of future, I am going to maintain you under eye, Frank Carter.
Alone, you are not sure.
Secret services! Did he already see well, Poirot? The traps of the wealth and of the power.
- And however, behind everything - Sim Inspector Chefe? It is so what is seen, is not it? In the end of counts, they are not better than we.
They are the small individuals what maintains the balanced things.
Individuals as you and I.
There are not small individuals, Inspector-chief specially Poirot.
