What are you talking about? 1345 01:18:55,450 --> 01:19:00,250 Perhaps some of you are unaware that the entire investigation of Christian's 1346 01:19:00,390 --> 01:19:05,190 murder was based on the assumption that someone was trying to poison Carrie 1347 01:19:05,390 --> 01:19:10,190 Louise. The theory was that Christian might know the identity of the poisoner, 1348 01:19:10,550 --> 01:19:12,890 and was therefore killed to keep him quiet. 1349 01:19:13,090 --> 01:19:14,190 But that's nonsense. 1350 01:19:14,850 --> 01:19:17,590 I mean, who would try to poison mother? 1351 01:19:17,810 --> 01:19:19,590 Well, there was evidence, you see. 1352 01:19:20,230 --> 01:19:24,860 Firstly, Mrs. Seraculz-Zimnes, the symptoms could have been the result of slow, arsenic 1353 01:19:24,870 --> 01:19:26,810 poisoning. In fact, Mr. 1354 01:19:26,850 --> 01:19:27,770 Seraculz said that Mr. 1355 01:19:27,870 --> 01:19:29,990 Branson had told him that's exactly what they were. 1356 01:19:30,310 --> 01:19:31,970 And then, of course, there was the letter in Mr. 1357 01:19:32,250 --> 01:19:36,010 Branson's typewriter, telling how he discovered the poisoning plot. 1358 01:19:36,110 --> 01:19:39,550 In fact, poison was discovered in Mrs. 1359 01:19:39,810 --> 01:19:42,710 Seraculz's medicine and in the chocolates, which were delivered to her. 1360 01:19:43,290 --> 01:19:44,430 Some pretty solid evidence. 1361 01:19:44,690 --> 01:19:45,590 But is it? 1362 01:19:46,090 --> 01:19:49,320 Carrie Louise's physical condition could be exactly what it appears. 1363 01:19:49,330 --> 01:19:52,090 The result of a mild flu. 1364 01:19:52,490 --> 01:19:55,670 Plus the sad toll the years take on all of us. 1365 01:19:56,190 --> 01:20:00,990 And, you see, the letter in the typewriter could have been written not by Christian, 1366 01:20:01,350 --> 01:20:02,410 but by the murderer. 1367 01:20:03,090 --> 01:20:07,890 And the medicine and the chocolates could have been doctored later to 1368 01:20:08,490 --> 01:20:12,210 give the firm impression that there was a poisoner afoot. 1369 01:20:12,570 --> 01:20:15,090 Then you mean, grandmother wasn't being poisoned? 1370 01:20:15,550 --> 01:20:17,140 Exactly. Thank the Lord. 1371 01:20:17,150 --> 01:20:21,950 But if there wasn't a poisoner, then what in the world brought Christian 1372 01:20:22,350 --> 01:20:23,690 down here in the first place? 1373 01:20:24,650 --> 01:20:27,430 Inspector? Ah, yes. 1374 01:20:28,390 --> 01:20:31,030 Well, earlier today I rang Mr. 1375 01:20:31,190 --> 01:20:35,990 Branson's office and found that on the afternoon before he arrived here, he 1376 01:20:36,910 --> 01:20:40,330 had received a preliminary audit of Stony Gates finances. 1377 01:20:41,270 --> 01:20:46,070 It was obvious that there had been gross irregularities and a full accounting 1378 01:20:46,250 --> 01:20:48,910 was ordered, which is now in progress. 1379 01:20:49,410 --> 01:20:53,230 And at Miss Marple's suggestion, we had them dig a little further into the files. 1380 01:20:53,490 --> 01:20:55,830 We found that four years ago, Mr. 1381 01:20:55,870 --> 01:21:00,030 Branson on behalf of the Foundation had turned down a plan by Dr. 1382 01:21:00,370 --> 01:21:03,770 Hargrove to establish a fully self -contained youth centre. 1383 01:21:04,490 --> 01:21:06,170 The model of it is still in Mr. 1384 01:21:06,250 --> 01:21:08,850 Seracot's study. Yes, of course it is. 1385 01:21:09,170 --> 01:21:13,080 It's my opinion, and I'm quite sure that the accounting will bear me out. 1386 01:21:13,090 --> 01:21:17,890 That in the last few years, tens of thousands of pounds have been embezzled 1387 01:21:18,390 --> 01:21:23,190 from the Gold Branson Foundation to set up this centre independently. 1388 01:21:24,330 --> 01:21:25,250 That's damn unfair. 1389 01:21:25,950 --> 01:21:27,170 You're slaughtering a dead man. 1390 01:21:27,350 --> 01:21:32,150 Please, Mr. Seracot, Miss Marple has a few more enlightening things to tell us. 1391 01:21:34,150 --> 01:21:38,560 Dr. Hargrove must have thought that youth centre would bring him international fame 1392 01:21:38,570 --> 01:21:40,070 as a psychologist. 1393 01:21:40,870 --> 01:21:44,410 People do strange things pursuing a dream of glory. 1394 01:21:44,750 --> 01:21:47,590 But I still can't believe that you could actually kill people. 1395 01:21:47,950 --> 01:21:48,830 Oh, I could. 1396 01:21:49,690 --> 01:21:51,010 He tried to kill me twice. 1397 01:21:51,330 --> 01:21:53,150 He dropped those lights on me at the theatre. 1398 01:21:53,990 --> 01:21:56,190 He thought he would be safer with me out of the way. 1399 01:21:56,670 --> 01:21:59,190 And then he tried again when you bought him those nail clippings. 1400 01:22:00,110 --> 01:22:01,550 Persistent devil, wasn't he? 1401 01:22:01,870 --> 01:22:06,440 He knew that an analysis of Kerry Wheeze's nails would prove that she'd never been 1402 01:22:06,450 --> 01:22:08,300 subjected to any kind of poison. 1403 01:22:08,310 --> 01:22:12,380 And if there wasn't a poisoner, then we would be on to the real reason for 1404 01:22:12,390 --> 01:22:14,790 Christian's visit. The embezzlement. 1405 01:22:15,470 --> 01:22:19,490 Then Hargrove killed Uncle Christian because he discovered the embezzlement? 1406 01:22:19,930 --> 01:22:24,730 No. Dr. Hargrove was in the room when we heard the first shot. 1407 01:22:25,290 --> 01:22:26,690 Yes, he was, wasn't he? 1408 01:22:26,910 --> 01:22:31,710 And he shouted to Lewis through the door, and you said that you could cope with 1409 01:22:31,870 --> 01:22:32,920 Edgar. I remember. 1410 01:22:32,930 --> 01:22:35,850 But then if Dr. 1411 01:22:35,910 --> 01:22:39,330 Hargrove didn't murder my brother, who did? 1412 01:22:40,730 --> 01:22:45,300 Another person to whom that youth centre had become an obsession, the one who 1413 01:22:45,310 --> 01:22:49,380 thought of the whole poison story, and the one who actually engineered the 1414 01:22:49,390 --> 01:22:54,190 embezzlement. I'm afraid Christian's murderer is you. 1415 01:22:57,870 --> 01:22:59,190 Mr. Seracult. 1416 01:23:01,250 --> 01:23:02,410 This is insane. 1417 01:23:03,410 --> 01:23:07,110 When Christian was killed, I was in the study almost being killed myself. 1418 01:23:07,850 --> 01:23:08,850 You were all there. 1419 01:23:09,090 --> 01:23:10,150 You heard it. 1420 01:23:10,690 --> 01:23:12,070 Yes, but we didn't see it, did we? 1421 01:23:12,510 --> 01:23:13,630 But what's the difference? 1422 01:23:13,970 --> 01:23:15,430 Oh, a great deal, Mr. 1423 01:23:15,510 --> 01:23:20,310 Seracult. What first put me onto it was that Edgar kept reminding me of 1424 01:23:20,390 --> 01:23:23,090 someone back home, and I suddenly remembered who it was. 1425 01:23:23,730 --> 01:23:26,320 A foolish young man named Leonard Wiley, a dentist. 1426 01:23:26,330 --> 01:23:30,760 His father was a dentist, too, but he got old and his hand began to shake, 1427 01:23:30,770 --> 01:23:33,070 so all of the patients preferred the son, of course. 1428 01:23:33,330 --> 01:23:35,910 The old man was miserable, oh, he moped around. 1429 01:23:36,130 --> 01:23:38,970 So Leonard began to pretend that he drank. 1430 01:23:39,350 --> 01:23:43,440 He doused himself with whiskey and he staggered about and slurred his speech and 1431 01:23:43,450 --> 01:23:48,250 all that. You see, his idea was that the patients would then go back 1432 01:23:48,270 --> 01:23:51,980 to the father when anybody with good sense would know what was going to happen. 1433 01:23:51,990 --> 01:23:55,010 All the patients went to another dentist, Mr. 1434 01:23:55,170 --> 01:23:59,970 Wiley. The irony of it was that I always thought Leonard 1435 01:24:00,390 --> 01:24:03,130 was a most unconvincing drunkard. 1436 01:24:03,810 --> 01:24:08,610 He always seemed to overdo it, just as Edgar seemed to overdo everything. 1437 01:24:09,530 --> 01:24:14,330 But Edgar was putting on his little act for the benefit of the one person here, 1438 01:24:15,270 --> 01:24:18,710 who was the closest he'd ever had to a real father. 1439 01:24:19,670 --> 01:24:21,970 Again, you, Mr. 1440 01:24:22,030 --> 01:24:26,830 Cerakold. We all know that Edgar belonged 1441 01:24:26,870 --> 01:24:30,680 to the theatre group here and that he could be counted on to do his part 1442 01:24:30,690 --> 01:24:35,490 well enough. So while you, crept out of the study, ran 1443 01:24:35,670 --> 01:24:40,100 around to Christian's room and killed him, Dr. 1444 01:24:40,110 --> 01:24:44,910 Hargrove and Edgar performed their lines in person, taking 1445 01:24:44,950 --> 01:24:48,070 their cues from your tape-recorded voice. 1446 01:24:48,830 --> 01:24:51,130 You do use a tape recorder, I've seen it. 1447 01:24:51,450 --> 01:24:53,430 And there were the two bullet holes in your books. 1448 01:24:54,530 --> 01:24:56,740 They were exactly where your head would have been, Mr. 1449 01:24:56,750 --> 01:24:59,640 Cerakold. There's no way Edgar Lawson could have missed you if you'd been sitting 1450 01:24:59,650 --> 01:25:00,490 behind the desk. 1451 01:25:01,170 --> 01:25:04,020 And I'd rather say a thorough search of the house would probably turn up a pair 1452 01:25:04,030 --> 01:25:08,690 of gloves you used with power marks on them, or possibly your fingerprints on Mr. 1453 01:25:08,910 --> 01:25:12,310 Gulbranson's typewriter. In any case, a full audit. 1454 01:25:13,130 --> 01:25:13,730 Where are you going? 1455 01:25:16,010 --> 01:25:16,850 Well, um, 1456 01:25:18,210 --> 01:25:19,890 the game's up, isn't it? 1457 01:25:24,650 --> 01:25:27,890 I thought you might like to have the tape that I used. 1458 01:25:29,390 --> 01:25:30,310 It's in the study. 1459 01:25:34,450 --> 01:25:36,070 Sergeant Lake, be careful. 1460 01:25:36,290 --> 01:25:37,430 He's got my gun in the study. 1461 01:25:37,770 --> 01:25:40,150 Hurry up. Don't worry, Inspector. 1462 01:25:41,090 --> 01:25:42,950 He won't try to escape. 1463 01:25:43,530 --> 01:25:46,130 He sneaked out of that room once before, ma 'am. 1464 01:26:04,150 --> 01:26:05,050 Don't come in, sir. 1465 01:26:05,450 --> 01:26:10,250 Please. Please. 1466 01:26:28,230 --> 01:26:33,030 I'm afraid when an idealist becomes a fanatic, the line between right and 1467 01:26:33,210 --> 01:26:34,500 wrong becomes a blur. 1468 01:26:34,510 --> 01:26:37,950 But he wasn't a bad man, was he? 1469 01:26:38,510 --> 01:26:43,310 What he wanted was good, and he was ready to risk his own life to 1470 01:26:43,610 --> 01:26:45,150 save Edgar Lawson from drowning. 1471 01:26:45,750 --> 01:26:46,310 I know. 1472 01:26:47,370 --> 01:26:50,490 And he did love me very much. 1473 01:26:51,250 --> 01:26:53,270 And I loved him. 1474 01:26:55,350 --> 01:26:57,530 I always will. 1475 01:27:07,150 --> 01:27:11,510 Aunt Jane, I believe I owe you a debt of gratitude too. 1476 01:27:12,070 --> 01:27:16,410 Because Mother tells me it's thanks to you that Miss Bellova was given the sack. 1477 01:27:17,350 --> 01:27:18,430 Well, have a good journey. 1478 01:27:20,650 --> 01:27:25,010 Jane, how did you figure it all out? 1479 01:27:25,490 --> 01:27:27,950 Actually, you were the key to the solution. 1480 01:27:28,350 --> 01:27:30,550 Me? You won't be offended. 1481 01:27:31,210 --> 01:27:36,010 But people always say that you live in this never-never land 1482 01:27:36,190 --> 01:27:38,590 that you're not really in touch with reality. 1483 01:27:39,130 --> 01:27:40,510 I suppose it's true? 1484 01:27:41,270 --> 01:27:46,070 No. You were the only one around here who could separate 1485 01:27:46,430 --> 01:27:48,190 reality from illusion. 1486 01:27:48,590 --> 01:27:53,260 And when you kept insisting that no one could possibly try to poison you, I had 1487 01:27:53,270 --> 01:27:56,880 to rethink what we all assumed was the reality. 1488 01:27:56,890 --> 01:28:01,690 And once I had accepted the idea that you were not being poisoned, then 1489 01:28:02,110 --> 01:28:03,890 it all fell into place. 1490 01:28:04,590 --> 01:28:06,170 Ready to go, Aunt Jane? 1491 01:28:12,270 --> 01:28:13,450 It's all right. 1492 01:28:14,410 --> 01:28:17,850 Gina has promised to drive very slowly. 1493 01:28:22,570 --> 01:28:23,970 Maybe I was wrong. 1494 01:28:24,970 --> 01:28:28,630 Maybe you're not as in touch with reality as I thought. 1495 01:28:29,850 --> 01:28:31,040 Better come on, Jane. 1496 01:28:31,050 --> 01:28:31,930 I will miss your train. 1497 01:28:38,130 --> 01:28:40,450 You know, there's someone else in St. 1498 01:28:40,470 --> 01:28:42,330 Mary Meade that you remind me of. 1499 01:28:42,890 --> 01:28:45,110 Lucy Bond. No, don't say it. 1500 01:28:45,750 --> 01:28:47,230 All these little village parallels. 1501 01:28:47,650 --> 01:28:49,430 They've all got a sting in the tail. 1502 01:28:50,110 --> 01:28:51,910 You really are wicked, you know. 1503 01:28:58,150 --> 01:29:02,270 Huh? These are for you. 1504 01:29:03,270 --> 01:29:04,850 Because you remind me of my old mum.
