[Music] [Applause] [Music] god [Music] hello darling that is to slip away but i think i sprained my bloody wrist [Music] oh john [Music] foreign how's work fine thanks i'm doing a big abstract for the international exhibition how's yours might be making some progress with ridgeway's disease have a patient at hammersmith hospital and mrs crabtree she's a draymond's wife i believe she's dying of

that's all going to be a complete disaster it's always the same when i'm like girder i wish i hadn't but the most thing about it is she's so terribly nice one has to have her of course be so terribly rude to invite john without her the hand does seem so odd doesn't it someone as nice as girder should be so devoid of any kind of intelligence i often think any spirits are told she'd stay away henrietta will help of course strange how good henrietta is with girder what you talking about lucy the weeknd is upon us mitch the guest will be arriving any minute i'm just trusting to henrietta to make conversation because well john and girder oh it's a nightmare john and lucy do you know what time it is i'm sorry i have absolutely no idea what time it is it's a quarter past six huh oh mitch i am sorry why didn't you tell me come come come go back to meepo's come on [Music] thank you very much dr christa goodbye [Music] [Music] [Music] you're right i'm tired a weekend in the country will

all you are sweet the names wiki is the best place in the world do you remember our special tree igrazil the secret sign we used to draw everywhere fancy a breather oh my god idris who drew that you did so what have you been doing since i saw you last nothing that sounds peaceful you could find peace at ainswick with me i wish i wasn't so dreadfully fond of you edward it makes it so much harder to go on saying no what you really mean is you won't marry me because of john christo why doesn't the fellow get a divorce because that's it isn't it if there were no john christo in the world you'd marry me [Music] i used to spend my holidays with edward at ainswick it seemed so vast 14 000 acres is bound to be vast mitch oh how i miss it why didn't you inherit it lucy midge you know very well girls don't inherit it's the way the world works edward isn't even my cousin he's my first cousin once removed but he's still in tail ainswig falls like ripe fruit plopping his lap aren't you remotely bitter about that of course not i've invited that crime fella for dinner oh i'm sorry that's why i was in your bedroom so early this morning i had this premonition you see that i'm all going to beat each other's throats at dinner so him being here just could be a distraction what crime man lucy he was in baghdad when henry was high commissioner he stays in one of those funny little cottages down the lane i remember he was this pink flower in his buttonhole and he was solving something i can't quite remember what mind then of course i'm not terribly interested in who killed who i mean once you're dead you're dead it doesn't matter why [Music] i'm no good at anything i don't know why you ever married me you needed taken care of that's why i married i tried to be a good wife john this may not be the best time to tell you you know i love you don't you yes of course i'll go but i really have to no one else just you you'll never make it up shovel down in third [Music] very fair shooting edward now then your turn henrietta see if you could kill a burglar [Applause] oh you only winged him hello everyone hello henry arthur christo hello so sorry we're late not at all not at all just in time for spotted target practice nice to see you john now then go to come along try and put one in the bull's-eye oh i've never tried you sure you have it hello darling i think you may have met mitch hardcastle and of course you know my second cousin edward how do you do edward hello john what's going on henry's got the artillery out how's he indeed you're ready for shooting right yes far away just keep it sticky and he squeezed that's it i sprained my bloody wrist careful bad luck i miss i bet i missed my turn is it yeah how lovely to see you thank you henry come along adam i say lucy that's nothing once on the asian side of the box i was jumped by a couple of thugs we were rolling about in the dirt we were and then before i knew it she shot one in the leg and one in the stomach how she didn't eat me i got alone though it's quite simple you do it very quickly and you don't think about it henry oh xena's at ballet class now we choose the lord and terrence chemistry always trying to blow things up he's planning to make nitroglycerin while we're away don't tell john oh i shan't and you oh i've taken up leathercraft do you like this i made it it's so nice talking to you but i suppose it'll soon be time for dinner garda why do you come here if you hate it so much i want jon to be happy he could come without you no he wouldn't like that he wouldn't enjoy it without me he said so john is awfully unselfish [Music] i'd rather stay at harley street to be frank but he thinks it's good for me to get out into the country oh the country's all right no need to throw in the anger tells we're an odious family come on let's go in and get changed there's some sort of detective coming apparently [Music] you wouldn't have believed it but mr power has abilities that one has to say are quite phenomenal oh it's true absolutely true talk of baghdad they were miss your parrot and his little green cell mother no but we're so awfully fortunate to have him as a neighbor i mean in case anything went wrong would you give it all up if i asked you to come and live with me no no [Music] it's not really what you want couldn't you lie to me just once why because i love you henrietta but you're so damn at all you're so detached you're art your cards your friends i want you to think only of me isn't that what gerder does don't tell me you care a damn about girder why not i like gara do you know my lady thank you guys please mr puaro come this way has anyone seen john well the customers are awful one has to put up with far more incidents in a dress shop than gudgeon or sims or any decent domestic does here must be absolute hell diary but doesn't have to be so proud i mean anyone's own living is not the be-all and end-all of everything is it well it's all about self-esteem surely well you'd be the expert on that so how do you do it then mr poro i beg your pardon my mother solve so many crimes merely i applied the process of the thought logic and once the process it has been applied then hello the mystery becomes eclere and the criminal mind it is uncovered but that assumes that you are cleverer than the criminal doesn't it i am not sure that he does manuesel logically oh i think it does what happens if you come across one who's cleverer than you are yourself this is not the highest probability momosai henrietta has a very sharp after dinner tongue usually play games she writes perhaps or flip the kipper but tonight i think it'd be most appropriate if we were to say the murder game lucy don't you think miss your poirot would be rather boring someone has to pretend to be dead murdered and then we all have to find out who did it it's such fun and it usually turns out to be gudgeon lady young terry it is a proposition that is most delightful but i am one who retires early to his bed your dinner it was superb mama was there i hope that we shall resume our conversation at another time i'd like that mr poro said henry an evening that was most delightful thank you thank you i know you must come to lunch tomorrow oh yes he must mustn't he i prepared all the tomorrow there's absolutely nothing to do around here for miles and miles and miles no no i insist you come to sunday lunch henry tell him i do not take kindly to being disobeyed very pleased to have you oh man yep it will be my pleasure to attend thank you good night good night good night ace of diamonds why on earth did you leave that diamond curtain oh was it wrong don't be absurd she had to leave the diamond only same thing to do game and rubber well darling did we win a lucky finesse you cheated was it obvious so the girder would win honesty means nothing to you does it good evening who the devil are you veronica cray sir henry please please forgive me for barging in upon you like this i'm in the dinky little house up the lane i've had the most frightful catastrophe please come on in henry close the window what's happened i have run out of matches on a saturday night and i smoke like a chimney truly i feel a complete fool but there's not a match to be had at dovecot so i've come to bake some from my only neighbors within miles and oh my god hello veronica my god it's john christo matthews was it this is too too extraordinary do you know each other we did a long time ago yes john is an old friend why he was the first guy i was ever in love with midge would you kylie ring the bell i thought you were just wonderful and won't be heart-rendingly in love veronica this is my wife how lovely to meet you ah gotcha tell me do we have plenty of matches in the house a dozen boxes came today my lady excellent would you kindly get six very good my lady and um how do you like dove coats oh i adore it it's so cute so close to london and yet one feels so gloriously isolated we kind of lost touch when i went to california didn't we you've been to california oh i live there actually just popped over to do a little play one has to keep one's hand in say hello to sharstery avenue all that oh my dear lady anchor tell surely not all these oh we have plenty in the house besides i always think it's rather tiresome only having one other thing don't you well this is very kind of you thank you will you send me back to my cottage i want dreadfully to know what you've been up to in the years and years and years since i've seen you i'm so sorry to have bothered you in this pathetic way good night lady anchor tell night night that was veronica craig yes indeed we must catch one of her pictures henry if that little performance is anything to go by why we will certainly get our money's worth you are just incarcerated no it's not true [Music] come on john come on [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] what time is it um i have no idea sorry to wake you i had to go in for a drink with a woman good night john good night morning morning morning we're shooting after breakfast might bag a few pigeon you want to come no thanks i feel a bit shattered to be honest for me it came this morning so [Music] [Music] [Music] we have to talk about our future i'm sorry our future john we've wasted 12 years i'm not going back to the states going to make my life here with you you've um you've got this taped out all wrong we had quite a time together last night but veronica you know our lives are completely divergent i mean when we split up 12 years ago well that was just it we split up split up you ditched me how's your fiance and you ditch me i couldn't go with you to hollywood i had to finish med school of course it could be a doctor well you can go on being a doctor i won't mind i don't girl i'm married i have children you know i'm married or myself at the moment ah it's nothing that a good divorcement can't fix oh john i always did want to be your wife you see i have this passion this overpowering passion you have to be together no that is not going to happen last night last night look you're not a child last night was a one-off are you saying you don't love me you are a very very alluring woman veronica but i don't love you no i came all this way to find you waiting in this ghastly hovel for the weekend you'd appear you see i knew that if we could be just once more together just once more you you planned it well you belong to me john you're mine hmm when i was a young man i wanted you to share my life and you wouldn't do it well because my career was so much more important than yours i mean anyone can be a doctor you're a nasty piece of work you leave me again i really will make you sorry so be it goodbye i hate you more than i thought [Applause] [Music] anyone [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] um good day sir lady anchor tell would like you to come to the pavilion sir with a glass of cherry out of doors would you care to follow me sir mercy my lady i see that you are playing the murder game hello fabian i congratulate you all [Music] hello give that to me god [Music] john has been shot he's dead [Music] isn't really my line murder no but the procedure it has been followed quite correctly and until the police arrive all we can do is to ensure that the body it is undisturbed and that nobody tampers with the evidence it's a it's um it's a bit chilly be all right if we wait in the pavilion wouldn't it maybe yes your way yes you [Music] i can offer you a sherry oh no no no mercy i think it's best not to touch i suppose we can smoke very able fellow crystal very able uh slightly too able if you take my mimi i just don't know what to do about lunch it seems so heartless to be sitting around a table stuffing oneself as though nothing had happened don't worry on my account lucy oh bless you dear edward say what you will murder is a very awkward thing it upsets the servant so put the whole routine out and worst of all it was duck for lunch my very very favorite mitchie moo what about girder oh perhaps something on a tray would be good i've placed sandwiches and some coffee in the dining room lady oh guardian thank you catching really is a jewel you know proper substantial sandwiches are just as good as lunch and there's nothing remotely heartless about them if you know what i mean oh lucy don't it's so awful don't cry little midge that'll do good this this is inspector grange i expect you've heard the missing point i most certainly have inspector may i ask what brings you to this neck of the woods when i visit this neck of the woods inspector for the weekends my friends persuaded me to purchase a cottage it is the second one that way along the lane are you fond of the countryside are you sir the pezagi is most agreeable except that the trees have this untidy habit of dropping their leaves that path leads to the lane you say and that path leads to the farm that's the way lady and cattle came edward and cattell and miss savannah came out of the woods separately and they were standing there and then it was like a misonsen from the theater i've given go to some brandy oh how thoughtful of you henrietta yes i always remember we were given brandy for shock when i was a little girl at ames week but of course i suppose it's not exactly shock with girl is it i mean personally i don't know how one would feel if one had just murdered one's husband but it wouldn't exactly be shock what it i mean that means there would be no element of surprise why are you so sure that gerda killed john self-evident why what else do you suggest isn't it possible that goethe came along to the pool found john lying there and had just picked up the revolver when we came on the scene this is what god says yes well fortunately duck is quite pleasant cold i couldn't lie down any longer still can't believe that it's real that john is dead who could have killed him who could possibly have killed john this is my wife inspector grange lady anchor too i was hoping to have a word with mrs christo well there she is mrs christo yes i'm gutter crystal i should just like to ask you a few he was a wonderful doctor so kind so unselfish the best of husbands who could have wanted to kill him what exactly happened mrs christa it was all so sudden i went out from the house and along the path to the swimming pool what time was this about two minutes to one uh i noticed the clock and when i got there there was john lying there and blood did you hear a shot yes no oh i don't know sir henry and edward were out shooting i just saw john and blood and the revolver and i picked up the revolver why a mega pun why did you pick it up i don't know shouldn't i have so you have decided that madame crystal shot her husband don't you think she did it it could have happened as she said yes could have but it's a very thin story but they all think she did it and you thought she'd done it didn't you when you first arrived on the scene i am not sure what i thought something was not exactly as it should have been what's that looks like leather works sir all right sir we've got the weapon go ahead pick it up you've been in the pool destroyed any fingerprints that might have been on it yes it comes from my collection it's my hobby inspector when did you last see this one ah yesterday afternoon we were doing some target practices and who actually fired the gun on that occasion i think we all had at least one shop with it including other crystal including carry crystal and after the shooting it was over i put the firearm back in its usual place will sir henry be requiring a late supper milady there is some duck left over ah no garden he's driving mrs cristo up to london as we speak he'll be staying at his club oh gadget about those eggs i meant to write the date on them as per usual but well because of the kerfuffle could you kindly ask cook i've seen to it myself my lady oh bless you guys do you think good will be all right yes she'll probably send for some old school friend of hers she's probably got three or four i can just see them you know strapping hockey playing types from tumblr's worlds what extraordinary things you do say lucy very well eastbourne and lacrosse if you insist i wonder if there are any left school friends no policeman don't they normally leave one hovering in the hall or outside peeking behind a bush watching the door in case another murder is committed in the night oh lucy don't oh i'm so sorry how stupid of me of course girl is on her way back to london oh dear i i didn't mean tomorrow i think it's best if you telephone the shop you know just tell them about the inquest just say you're staying on here for a few days [Music] i haven't said anything you do know how sorry i am sorry that john christo's gone you didn't like john he and i hadn't much in common you heard me in common henrietta for god's sake no need to be like that what did you think i'd be like did you think i'd sit and cry into a pocket handkerchief while you held my hand you're nice enough edward but honestly you are inadequate [Music] do do [Music] hello yes [Music] [Music] [Music] mr puero we could use your brains join us would you so which of the ladies did this rap belong to i take it sir you're referring to the cape of arctic fox i noticed it yesterday when i took the sherry out to the pavilion but it is not the property of anyone in this establishment so well who's is he then it might possibly belong to miss cray the motion picture actress she paid a visit after dinner the night before last for the purpose of borrowing some matches but did she take away six boxes that is correct servants they're the devil only still sir henry identified the gun which means that all mrs cristo had to do was to get it from the study don't you agree and her motive what is that motive a jealous fiancee well you know these fancy doctors he's probably giving one of his rich lady patients a good seed to a lady anchortel mentioned some trouble with a nurse but she was a bit vague yes she would be vague i'm taking the train up to london dropping to harley street you care to join me [Music] i don't remember any quarrels no mrs cristo was devoted to her husband quite slavishly so tyrannical was he no but he was what i would call a selfish man he took it for granted that mrs christo would always fall in with his ideas you organized his appointments miss collins any difficulty with patients lady patients he had an excellent manner with patients yes but any um hanky-panky certainly not what about mammoth veronica cray veronica cray well we believe she was a friend of dr christa do you mean the actress wait i had no idea he knew her have you any theories as to who might have killed dr christo absolutely none at all inspector when the body was discovered madame crystal was standing beside it with a revolver in her hand look i don't know who you are but if you think gerda christo killed her husband you are categorically wrong it's the inspector mrs christie oh thank you colleen good afternoon my friend elsie i mean mrs patterson mom this is mr puaro have you found out who killed him no not yet mom was it you mrs christo that's unfair why must you persecute the poor woman can't you see but perhaps mother crystal would prefer to speak for herself was not me no it is a hard thing to kill the one you love nespa a very hard thing i should imagine i couldn't do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] right ballistics report sir i thought you'd want it right away have a look at our [Music] so the ballistics report proves that the gun in the pool was not the one that killed john christo i've spoken to say henry he says that there is a gun missing from his collection a 38 smith and western brown holster i think this whole thing could be a frame upset to implicate gerda christo but if that was so why not leave the right revolver lying by the body but she might not have picked it up and it is possible inspector that the murderer might be someone who wanted to kill dr christo but did not want to implicate girder crystal well they're going a funny way about it i mean we suspected her right from the start remember me very swiftly you suspected that oh now look waro you were an eyewitness you saw everything i saw but the eyes are witnesses most unreliable sometimes the eyes they see what they are meant to see you're saying it was arranged there was something about the table of the people around the pool it was false and i cannot place my finger on what [Music] there were three people lady angel monsieur edward angertel and the henrietta savannah henrietta and any one of these three people could have shot dr crystal before madame crystal arrived could have retreated up one of the paths and turned around and returned please you're right but there is also another possibility inspector someone could have come along the path from the lane then fired a shot i'm going back the same way you're dead right and that could have been miss veronica craig crime of passion bingo you have interviewed her yes i have christo went to visit her that morning they had a fight i spoke to the maid cray said to him i hate you more than i ever thought i could hate anyone it is interesting and it was her fur coat in the pavilion yes it was she must have left it there when she went in to borrow the matches oh but i do not believe she went there to borrow the match she could have had the matches from me and saved the walk no no no no because she was nervous on account of you being [Music] foreign [Music] you know something about human nature don't you i know a little about human nature inspector grange has got it into his head that i quarreled with john christo on the day he died and did you i hadn't seen john for 12 years but the real truth is so fantastic that i'm certain a guy like grange won't believe it but i think you might understand i'm flattered mum was there actually i'm married by them 12 years ago john was very much in love with me even obsessively so he wanted me to give up acting give up having a life of my own even a mind of my own oh so possessive and domineering i i felt i couldn't go through with it and i broke off the engagement i'm afraid he took that rather hard when we came back here on saturday night uh the whole thing blew up again he went mad quite literally mad he wanted to leave his wife and children he wanted me to divorce my husband he wanted us to get back together he carried a torch for me all these years oh we argued and argued and in the end i had to send him back to the hollow next morning he returned i told him it was impossible he insisted i said i didn't love him i could never love him and i begged him not to ruin my life a second time i had to be brutal yes i i did say that i hated him so we parted in anger and now he's dead it is a tragedy oh undoubtedly do you think i should say any of this at the inquest i mean his wife i cannot see that it has any bearing on the inquest it is private and perhaps it should remain so [Music] [Applause] got something out of the kitchen mate sir simmons she says that on sunday afternoon she saw the butler walk across the hall with a revolver in his hand [Music] i'm very sorry sir i suppose i were to mention the occurrence at about 5 30 p.m i noticed a revolver lying upon the hall table i picked it up brought it in here there was a gap on the shelf so i replaced it where it belonged which one gotcha this one's up but that is not a revolver that is an automatic pistol i'm very sorry so i'm afraid i'm not fully cognizant with firearms so henry i'll have to have it checked for fingerprints oh i doubt there will be any fingerprints huh because i polished it with my handkerchief before replacing itself why the devil did you do that i fancied it might be dusty sir how nice to see you miss your choir but oh damn me there's a poor girl in the kitchen simply sobbing her heart out what have you been telling them about a pistol gudgeon never mind it doesn't matter i'll explain everything you may go dear poor gadget you know he tries so hard to protect us from any kind of trouble or annoyance it's really quite feudal here you know but he didn't find the pistol in the hall at all no no no no he found it when he took out the eggs eggs what eggs well you see i went down to the farm to collect the eggs i put the pistol in the egg basket and then i put the new eggs on top of the pistol when i came back and saw john laying there well unwell i sort of had a bit of a shock and almost dropped the lot but dear sweet garden as per usual sprang to my rescue and later on i wanted to write the date on the eggs otherwise you see you tend to eat the fresher eggs before the older ones and that simply will not do and then garden told me he had taken care of everything and which pistol was that lady anger that was the mauser 25 and why did you put it into the basket oh i knew you were going to ask me that mr farrow of course i i must have had a reason mustn't die henry i mean there must have been some idea whirring about in my head in order for me to put the mauser into the egg basket in the first place there my wife is extremely absent-minded so henry if i may ask you a question how many people in general know that the police can identify a gun by the little marks on the bullet the marks of the rifling oh i think that's pretty well common knowledge nowadays pyro [Music] i was just taking the dog for a walk i love peeking in people's houses do you mind if i take a look but certainly mum was elenor if you please i i would be most grateful however if the dog might be kept outside how beautifully tyree you'd hate my studio there's clay all over the place and glaze and paint parts oh but i understand you're an artiste aren't you an artist too mr parra on the whole i would say no i have known crimes that were artistic supreme exercises of the imagination but the serving of them no now the creative power is not what is needed what is required is a passion for the truth and once you have the truth once you have knowledge is that enough or do you have to go a step further and translate knowledge into action why did you come here mauser as i said i was taking the dog for a walk oh it is out that i've not noticed a dog on my visits for the younger terrors ah that might be because they haven't got one i borrowed the gardeners don't actually like animals much dogs horses horrible smelly things i am not monsieur poro terribly truthful no but i think that you have integrity the inquest is tomorrow is it necessary do you think that the police should know that i was john christo's mistress you will love us i do not think that the police will have any difficulty in discovering this i suppose not why should girder bear the added burden she adored john and now he's dead i didn't break up his married life i was one of a procession along with veronica cray and all the others oh so he was like that no he was a noble man fine man he was doing vital research into a debilitating disease it's called ridgeways there's no known cure he'd been working on it night and day for months his curiosity his determination oh i wish i could make you understand but i didn't understand really you mentioned veronica cray she also was a friend of dr crystal they were engaged to be married 12 years ago were they look i'll make it simple veronica was and is a of the first water she wanted john to give up medicine and go and live with her in california so he broke off the engagement and subsequently married gerda he had a number of affairs which gerda knew nothing about but he never really got over veronica and last saturday night they met for the first time in 12 years you went out to see her home and you returned to the hollow at 3 am yes how do you know the housemate has a toothache lucy has far too many servants and how is it that you know i was watching out my window so to take my mother quite another kind of egg is your borah if you see me with a pistol in my hand simmers the proper thing to do is to come to me and say mr gunchen would you be so kind as to give me an explanation yes mr gudget the improper thing to do is to go babbling to the police that is common now where would the leadership be we all run around doing the inside that hmm lucy why did you take the pistol i'm not entirely sure henry i i do recall though waking up that morning with some sort of a premonition that the might just might be some kind of an accident accident who might have had an accident well obviously john crystal i mean one does feel awfully sorry of course and one does tend to blame oneself good god lucy oh henry oh oh henry i am so dreadfully worried about aims wick if edward never marries and he won't you know if henrietta turns him down it'll all die out it will he'll break it up and sell it off in little tiny pieces lucy does it really honestly matter of course it matters ainsworth is my home it's all our land no somebody had to get rid of him you didn't that'd be such a fool do you really believe of a moment that i would have shot him i invited him here henry one doesn't ask guests down for the weekend and then start bumping them off did your aunt like john crystal lucy lucy's a cousin not an aunt yes she liked him very much and you're also edward arghattel did he like doctor crystal not particularly and do they like madame crystal it's not a matter of liking her she's family is she we're not all rich you know gerd is from a branch of rather humble anger tells she's tolerated i think it's fair to say because she's one of us and your understanding of tolerance that would be to sleep with her husband why did you take the revolver out of the hand of madame crystal and drop it into the pool gerd is very clumsy she might have fired it and hurt someone but you are not clumsy are you yet you dropped it if there were fingerprints on that revolver that used to say fingerprints made only before madame crystal handle it it would have been interesting to know whose they were meaning do you think they were mine you're suggesting that i shot john and then left the revolver beside him so that girder could come along and pick it up but if i'd done that give me credit for enough intelligence to have wiped my own prince off first well one was that you have enough intelligence to know that if there were no fingerprints on the revolver other than those of madame crystal it would have been treyarch because you are all shooting with a revolver the day before and there is something else that we have just discovered we now know that the revolver that was dropped into the pool was not a revolver that killed john crystal he was shot with a quite different gun and you think that i shot him when he was dying john cristo said henry etta i told you we were lovers ah yes of course he was your lover so as he is dying he says henry at the very touching i don't think there is any need to sneer i'm not sneering but i do not like being enlightened i've admitted that i'm not very truthful but i don't kill people mr poro right oh dear girder i am so sorry not getting too little sleep i trust what is an adjournment do you know you must be finished why not come back to the hollow for lunch i'm taking her to directly home she needs rest and quiet not this [Music] what did they see in cristo that wretched woman looks completely heartbroken the devil are you all packed i'm getting lift up to town all set come on mitch bye edward bye edward what's this one it looks bit like girder cowed and hunched she modeled for me don't you dare tell her that's what i ended up with i call it the worshipper or who's she worshiping john do you understand all that business with the second gun no but it lets gerd off the hook doesn't it let's have some tea and toast and i'll run you back to your digs every hour will be well spent [Music] do [Music] he's dead [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] good fish how wonderful to see you man [Music] god he rescued me from adam all fresh i was rightfully romantic i was whisked out of the shop and taken to lunch at the connaught and you know what i never went back i'm a dull dog i know i'm not much good at anything i just read books potter about midge has agreed to come to wayne's we can be my wife and nothing could make me happier off white satin i think don't you and ivory prayer book yes what about bridesmaids i don't want to fast just a quiet wedding quite agree with you they they never match do they i mean to say there's always one rather plain one who seems to ruin the whole thing absolutely dozens of them out there poking about in the woods making many havoc with all the pheasants why are they still here they're searching for the missing revolver midge [Music] your man what's that good morning mr para will they find it do you think oh quite soon i should say you have returned very suddenly from london mama said there's a party for midge and edward who believe it or not are getting married why did you think the murderer was returning to the scene of the crime you know it seemed to me from the very beginning that either this crime was very simple so simple that it was very difficult to believe in its simplicity or else it was very complex and that is to say that we are contending against the mind that is capable of inventions that are intricate and ingenious so that every time we seem to be heading towards the truth we are actually being led away from it a mind that is subtle and yes very ingenious which is plotting against us the whole time and succeeding what is that to do with me it is a creative mind mamwizard and this is a strange tree it's igrazil a memento of my childhood i draw it everywhere just doodling you know but i have seen it before in the pavilion by the pool in the pavilion where it must have been drawn on sunday morning oh yes on a little table that was on saturday afternoon no no no it was not there when garden brought other sherry glasses it must have been sunday afternoon no because granger's men did not leave the area until dusk oh yes i remember it was after dinner on the saturday no no no man was there seven inch people do not doodle in the dark no i think that you were there in the pavilion on sunday after twelve when garden brought out the sherry glasses i think that you stood by the table watching someone waiting for someone and you doodled i didn't go down to the pool until one o'clock just after john christo had been shot but igrazil testifies against you you were there and you shot dr cristo or you were there and you saw who did this is outrageous do you think you are cleverer than i [Music] and the inquest resumes tomorrow and all i've got is vague suspicions leading nowhere nowhere instead of somewhere that is it do you know of the time i think those anchor tells know all about it oh they do know all about it henrietta's have an ink oh nothing from her either she went straight back to chelsea i've been through a studio with a fine toothed comb but there's no gun just a lot of arty farty stuff sculptures funny looking horses bits of wood metal horses did you say well one also if you can call it a horse a horse yeah what's so fascinating about that no he's just a point of psychology inspector how quickly can you get me up to london [Applause] [Music] what are you looking for sir [Music] this the horse [Music] merci is quite good actually [Music] [Music] um mercy [Music] does not like horses [Music] i think that this will prove to be the murder weapon homie seven i did it no looks a bit bloody likely no mama's f7a is not in my estimation a murderer so let us keep quiet about our discovery for the time being inspector and watching let us be intelligent [Music] is a lady ship at home you will find lay the anchor tell in the potting shed so so if i might the inquest is concluded murder by personal persons unknown is it necessary to trouble her leadership any further sir [Music] [Music] tell me what are your views on compost [Music] i've come to a few apologies for all the inconvenience you have suffered it's high time to put a full stop to the whole thing you don't understand me don't you i'm not sure that i do leniency oh come come paro you understand perfectly since inspector grange has failed to find the murder weapon why he'll have to let the whole thing drop you i dare say won't no i shall not let it drop what if you would tell the truth would you like to tell me the truth oh it's your paro i would love to tell you the truth then of course we could all agree but well john christo is over and done with could be my mom you really are very foreign are you quite sure you have not forgotten something lady anger [Music] suddenly it just came upon me in a mighty rush that you and that you might have overlooked it i could be wrong of course and and you could have dealt with everything absolutely beautifully but since you never mentioned it i'm a traffic inside that what's the matter you see well it's the holster what oh henrietta the holster the gun was in a star [Music] you must give me the holster and then you'll be safe not completely safe borrow how does he sometimes the fastest quality is not fast enough or not when it races against the brain where are the children elsie's taken them to the zoo thank evan for that i know that you killed your husband mother yes i did why did you do it girder why did you kill john because it was all a lie everything i thought he was the noblest man in the world [Music] but i saw his face when he followed that woman that evening i knew he'd loved her before he married me but i thought i thought it was over [Music] i tried to sleep but i couldn't it was the middle of the night [Music] i had to know [Music] they were there i could hear them john and veronica gray [Music] i believed in him as though he were god i worshiped him and it was all a lie i had to kill him you do see that i had to i'm not quite so stupid as everyone [Music] thinks i knew i could kill john and the police would never know because i read in his novel how they can tell which guns fired the bullet so i took two so henry had shown me how to load and fire the day before it was easy you shut the cylinder back into the frame and you're ready for shooting [Music] i shoot john with one and then hide it and let them find me holding the other but uh i forgot about the leather thing the holster i forgot about it too i also forgot the memory it is selective in the spa and then i heard the inspector grange mentioned again this whole study this whole star of leather i remembered where i had seen it before looks like leather works [Music] where is your bag for the leatherwork mother i i think it's in the surgery the surgery i sit there in his chair i'll touch it for you shall [Music] m oh i'm not going anywhere don't worry [Music] so when you return to your studio i'm afraid you will discover that one of your sculptures it has been destroyed it is the sculpture of the head of the horse it may have worked man was there had you not told me how much you detested the creatures i know that you were helped by your family once they knew what you wanted done henrietta isn't it possible that gerda came along to the pool found john lying there and had just picked up the revolver when we came on the scene well this is what god says yes but why did you want it done my mother because john asked me to that's what he meant when he said henrietta he was asking me to protect gerda and he knew that i'd do anything he wanted because i loved him [Music] i began to realize the truth when i saw that there was a pattern a pattern to implicate everyone other than gerder crystal you deliberately planted igbrazil to catch my attention and bring yourself under suspicion i put the pistol in the egg basket and then i put the new eggs on top of the pistol oh i doubt there will be any fingerprints huh because i polished it with my handkerchief before replacing itself and lady anger telling the family though they closed ranks and colluded because there is only one thing to do if you want to clear from suspicion the person who is actually guilty suggest guilt elsewhere but never localize it fit [Music] help her for god's sake it is too late but as human cyanide the wife of the doctor she knew exactly what to do [Music] what happens to me now [Music] go my child your place is with the living i will remain here with the dead [Music] uh [Music] you
