Hello? Meadowbank School.

The psychology, Inspector,
it is fascinating, is it not?

00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:12,449
A pupil with a loathing

a colleague who was jealous,
or a lover thwarted.

Miss Johnson and Miss Chadwick.

Theoretically, everyone else
was asleep in bed...

but there's no one
to vouch for them.

The girls and the staff
have separate rooms.
538

Any one of them could've gone
out to the gymnasium...

or could've followed her there.

And why should they do that?

Because of me.
They want to assassinate me.
555
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:36,032
Miss Springer, she must have
found out about them.
556
00:34:36,241 --> 00:34:40,662
Perhaps they promised to pay her
money if she said nothing.

for entering in there?

of this illness?
629
00:38:21,716 --> 00:38:24,219

your own hard-boiled egg.

I don't mind.

Honestly, you can have it back.
672
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:05,254
No, no.
We swapped fair and square.

Now they've finished searching
the pavilion, your racket...

Well, your racket, really.

...1s the only thing
to go missing.

Oh, to think that's
all the killer got away with.

poor, old Springer...

about any murder. I told you.

All right. All right.
Thank you, constable.

His Majesty's Secret Service...

is doing here
at the Meadowbank School.

No sense dwelling on it, Chaddy.
692
00:42:12,989 --> 00:42:15,575
We'll be all right
if we keep our heads.

00:42:18,202 --> 00:42:20,705
There's something
you should know.

to flee his country.

Prince Ali would've made
an enlightened ruler.
701
00:42:48,983 --> 00:42:50,318
He was a democrat...
702
00:42:50,526 --> 00:42:53,112
which is probably
what did the poor chap in.
703
00:42:53,321 --> 00:42:55,323
Anyway, just before all hell
broke loose out there...
704
00:42:55,531 --> 00:42:58,076
we'd been picking up some
interesting bits of chatter.
705

Seems someone was trying to get
close to the Prince...
706
00:43:01,746 --> 00:43:03,206

of his...
707

708
00:43:04,749 --> 00:43:06,667
To get close to him
with what purpose?
709
00:43:06,876 --> 00:43:10,421
To destabilize the regime,
we supposed.
710
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:13,049
There was actually
very little to go on...
711
00:43:13,257 --> 00:43:16,719

712
00:43:16,928 --> 00:43:22,391
and now the next in line to the
throne is here at Meadowbank.
713
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,477
The Princess? Ruddy hell.
714
00:43:24,685 --> 00:43:27,563
She said she was being watched.
Maybe she was right.
715
00:43:27,772 --> 00:43:30,691
Maybe that's why
Miss Springer was murdered.
716
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:32,443

the only reason...

a horrible death.

more murders.
733
00:44:52,190 --> 00:44:54,150
I'm sure not.
734
00:44:54,358 --> 00:44:56,569
Good, because I doubt
if the school...

in one week.
736

Now, Miss Rich has told us --
thank you --
737
00:45:05,203 --> 00:45:07,830
she felt that there's been
a strange sort of atmosphere.
738
00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:09,248
Yes. I'd concur.
739

in a way bizarre?

I wasn't really listening.

out, like a wireless, you see...
754
00:45:47,370 --> 00:45:48,537

was getting up to...
756

I couldn't shake off...
757

something very important.

first came up.

says she's sly.

but the identity
of this Angelica...
1035

...well, there is more
than one possibility.
1036

It's like a blasted exodus.

Miss Shapland's typewriter.
1045
01:03:01,611 --> 01:03:03,196
I shouldn't have looked.
1046
01:03:03,405 --> 01:03:07,492
Oh, Chaddy,
I haven't made up my mind.
1047
01:03:07,701 --> 01:03:10,870
I was just checking
Eileen Rich's references.
1048

I have given everything
to this school, Honoria...

01:03:20,505 --> 01:03:21,715
Chaddy, wait. Let me speak.
1052
01:03:21,923 --> 01:03:23,258
Miss Bulstrode?
1053
01:03:23,466 --> 01:03:25,260
I'll take the afternoon off now,
as arranged.
1054
01:03:25,468 --> 01:03:29,014
Oh, yes. Yeah.
It hardly matters.
1055
01:03:29,222 --> 01:03:30,307
There are so few girls left.
1056
01:03:30,515 --> 01:03:34,269
Chaddy! Wait!
I must speak to you.
1057
01:03:57,959 --> 01:04:02,213
Mademoiselle, where were you
during the last term?
1058
01:04:02,422 --> 01:04:04,799
I told you, I was ill.
1059
01:04:05,008 --> 01:04:07,344
But, once again, I ask
the nature of this illness.
1060
01:04:07,552 --> 01:04:09,387
Well, that's none
of your business.
1061
01:04:09,596 --> 01:04:12,307
Poirot knows all, mademoiselle.
1062
01:04:12,515 --> 01:04:13,850
How?
1063
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,816
It does not tax the little gray
cells very much, mademoiselle...

...to connect
the loss of weight,

01:04:25,695 --> 01:04:28,823
at the reading
of the beautiful little poem.
1067
01:04:30,617 --> 01:04:32,660
"Look, Lizzie, look..."

"Their evil gifts
would harm us."

Courage, mademoiselle.
1072
01:04:48,468 --> 01:04:52,180
I so wanted to have the child...
1073
01:04:52,389 --> 01:04:55,183
but I didn't want
to lose my job.
1074
01:04:55,392 --> 01:04:58,103
I love Meadowbank.
1075
01:04:58,311 --> 01:05:01,106
So, I went away,
out of the country...
1076
01:05:01,314 --> 01:05:03,608
where no one would know.
1077
01:05:07,070 --> 01:05:09,364
-And what became?
-He died.
1078
01:05:12,951 --> 01:05:16,788
Miss Springer found out somehow.
1079
01:05:17,956 --> 01:05:22,919
She tormented me with it
like she enjoyed it.
1080
01:05:24,421 --> 01:05:26,005
Ah, it is over now.

KELSEY:
What's going on, Poirot?
1082
01:05:30,385 --> 01:05:34,180
You're hiding something,
keeping me in the ruddy dark.
1083
01:05:36,766 --> 01:05:39,894
Au contraire, Inspector.
1084
01:05:40,103 --> 01:05:43,022
I only wish
to illuminate matters.
1085
01:05:43,231 --> 01:05:45,859
There is a certain car
whose number...
1086
01:05:46,067 --> 01:05:47,694
Poirot took the care to note.
1087
01:05:47,902 --> 01:05:50,822
The car, it has been found
and the owner traced...
1088
01:05:51,030 --> 01:05:54,492
and so Poirot would like
to propose a little excursion...
1089
01:05:54,701 --> 01:05:58,204
to a nightclub
known as The Glass Slipper.

This is Maison Blanche again.
You understand me?
1092
01:06:06,337 --> 01:06:09,799
I have to speak of an account
that is owed.
1093
01:06:10,008 --> 01:06:12,510
You have until later tonight.
1094
01:06:12,719 --> 01:06:16,264
Non. You have had plenty of time
to settle this.
1095
01:06:16,473 --> 01:06:20,185
If the money is not paid,
it will be necessary for me...
1096
01:06:20,393 --> 01:06:23,438
to report what I observed
on the night of the sixteenth.
1097

Good evening, Princess Shaista.

Clammed up like a Scotsman's
wallet, haven't you, love?
1102
01:06:56,137 --> 01:07:01,976
I can't believe it.
She looks so different, mature.
1103
01:07:02,185 --> 01:07:04,812
-Precisement.
-You've lost me, Poirot.
1104
01:07:05,021 --> 01:07:06,523
Was she kidnapped,
or wasn't she?
1105
01:07:06,731 --> 01:07:09,526
Yes and no, Inspector.
1106
01:07:09,734 --> 01:07:12,987
The real Princess Shaista
was abducted in Switzerland.
1107
01:07:13,196 --> 01:07:15,657
I would imagine that she
is still there.
1108
01:07:15,865 --> 01:07:17,742
The revolutionaries of Ramat...
1109
01:07:17,951 --> 01:07:21,287

to the Meadowbank School.
1110

-What the hell for?
-Oh, I think I get it.
1111
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:27,001
If the Prince's jewels
left Ramat in friendly hands...
1112
01:07:27,210 --> 01:07:31,172
then sooner or later, they'd be
brought to the Princess.
1113
01:07:31,381 --> 01:07:32,924
Her Uncle, the Emir,
was in Egypt...
1114
01:07:33,132 --> 01:07:35,176
and had no plans
to visit this country...
1115
01:07:35,385 --> 01:07:39,681
so the imposter could await the
arrival of a certain package.
1116
01:07:39,889 --> 01:07:42,475
However, I did ask
Mademoiselle Bulstrode...
1117
01:07:42,684 --> 01:07:45,436
if she noticed
the knees of the Princess.
1118
01:07:45,645 --> 01:07:47,647
-Knees?
-Ah, oui.
1119
01:07:47,855 --> 01:07:50,692
Knees are a very good indication
of age, Inspector.
1120
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:54,320
Par example, the knees
of a woman of twenty-four...
1121
01:07:54,529 --> 01:07:57,699
or twenty-five can never
be mistaken for those...
1122
01:07:57,907 --> 01:08:00,743
belonging to a young girl
of fourteen or fifteen.
1123
01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:12,880
But nobody, alas, except Poirot
noticed her knees...
1124
01:08:13,089 --> 01:08:15,842
but the plan, it did not work,
did it, mademoiselle?
1125
01:08:16,050 --> 01:08:17,135
Nobody tries to contact you.
1126
01:08:17,343 --> 01:08:19,304
There are no letters,
no telephone calls.
1127
01:08:19,512 --> 01:08:21,931
The Emir could arrive
at any moment...
1128
01:08:22,140 --> 01:08:27,103
and then he would realize that
this Princess to be an imposter.
1129
01:08:27,312 --> 01:08:29,647
When the fatal moment arrives...
1130
01:08:29,856 --> 01:08:32,317
the well-laid plan
was put into action.
1131
01:08:37,530 --> 01:08:39,490
Shaista was
officially kidnapped.
1132
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:41,075
And went where?

Yes?

You might as well admit it.

01:08:51,878 --> 01:08:53,630
You burgled
Mrs. Sutcliffe's place...
1137
01:08:53,838 --> 01:08:54,797
and when there was
nothing there...
1138
01:08:55,006 --> 01:08:56,257

to the school.

You can't hold me here.

could, of course...

have killed
Mademoiselle Springer...
1143
01:09:08,895 --> 01:09:11,439
but I do not think she had
the motive to kill anyone.
1144
01:09:11,648 --> 01:09:13,566
No. Her role
was simply to receive...
1145
01:09:13,775 --> 01:09:16,361
a package most valuable
that never arrived...
1146
01:09:16,569 --> 01:09:18,237
and the reason?
1147
01:09:18,446 --> 01:09:20,281
Because nobody knew
exactly how the jewels...

So, why spend twenty minutes
in a room that was empty?

most desperately the means...

eventually determine...

...and it was she who brought
this tennis racket...
1214
01:14:32,843 --> 01:14:37,807
to Meadowbank School, but
someone within this school...
1215
01:14:38,015 --> 01:14:41,602
knew the location
of these jewels...
1216
01:14:41,811 --> 01:14:43,104
for the room
of Jennifer Sutcliffe...
1217
01:14:43,312 --> 01:14:45,272
it had already been searched,
but now...
1218
01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:47,775
they turned their attention
to the sports pavilion.
1219
01:14:47,984 --> 01:14:49,193
This person assumes
that everybody...
1220
01:14:49,402 --> 01:14:51,404
would be in bed asleep, hein...
1221
01:14:54,198 --> 01:14:56,701
...but this was not the case...
1222
01:14:56,909 --> 01:15:02,623
for Mademoiselle Springer
is watching, and she follows.
1223
01:15:05,251 --> 01:15:07,086
She confronts this person...
1224
01:15:07,294 --> 01:15:09,755
in much the same way
as she has in the past.
1225
01:15:09,964 --> 01:15:11,716
She intends
to have her amusement...
1226
01:15:11,924 --> 01:15:13,134
and for the character
of Mademoiselle Springer...
1227
01:15:13,342 --> 01:15:15,803
it is sadistic, non?
1228
01:15:16,012 --> 01:15:18,180
Already she has warned the staff
of Meadowbank School...
1229
01:15:18,389 --> 01:15:20,850
in terms most unsubtle
that she enjoys...
1230
01:15:21,058 --> 01:15:24,061
to sniff out the scandal, and
already, she has her claws...
1231
01:15:24,270 --> 01:15:25,688
in more than one teacher
because she knows...
1232
01:15:25,896 --> 01:15:28,232
of their little weaknesses
or foibles...
1233
01:15:30,484 --> 01:15:32,570
...although, naturellement,
she knows nothing...
1234
01:15:32,778 --> 01:15:35,740
of the rubies of the Prince.
1235
01:15:35,948 --> 01:15:40,119
Non. She is safe. She is smug.
1236
01:15:40,327 --> 01:15:43,164
Quite the dark horse,
aren't you?
1237
01:15:43,372 --> 01:15:48,252
She will enjoy watching
her new victim squirm...
1238
01:15:49,253 --> 01:15:52,506
...like the worm on the end
of the fishing hook.
1239
01:15:54,216 --> 01:15:55,926
But she has failed
to take into account...
1240
01:15:56,135 --> 01:15:58,387
the character of her victim...
1241
01:16:00,097 --> 01:16:07,396
...a person who is cold,
ruthless, a killer.
1242
01:16:09,774 --> 01:16:11,567
[ Gagging ]
1243
01:16:16,864 --> 01:16:20,284
Who wished to silence her?
1244
01:16:27,083 --> 01:16:31,462
Mademoiselle Blake, per example,
she who lavished such care...
1245
01:16:31,670 --> 01:16:33,672
on creating an effigy
of straw...
1246
01:16:33,881 --> 01:16:36,175
of the games mistress
so hated...
1247
01:16:36,383 --> 01:16:39,136
and derived the pleasure
of stabbing at it...
1248
01:16:39,345 --> 01:16:43,474
again and again and again?
1249
01:16:43,682 --> 01:16:47,144
Why should she do this?
1250
01:16:47,353 --> 01:16:48,562
Mademoiselle?
1251
01:16:54,360 --> 01:17:01,450
At my last school,
there was a boy, a pupil.
1252
01:17:03,619 --> 01:17:05,246
It was inappropriate.
1253
01:17:07,039 --> 01:17:11,085
Hardly amounted to anything,
but I had to leave.
1254
01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:13,212
It was a wretched mess.
1255
01:17:15,172 --> 01:17:19,927
I don't know how Springer found
out, but she made my life hell.
1256
01:17:20,136 --> 01:17:24,014
I could gladly have stuck that
javelin in her, Mr. Poirot...
1257
01:17:25,975 --> 01:17:27,726
...but I didn't.
1258
01:17:30,312 --> 01:17:31,856
I didn't kill her.
1259
01:17:32,064 --> 01:17:34,150
Non.
1260
01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:35,943
Non, for the psychology,
it tells to me...
1261
01:17:36,152 --> 01:17:39,196
that your instincts, they are
creative, not destructive, hein?
1262
01:17:39,405 --> 01:17:41,407
Non.
1263
01:17:41,615 --> 01:17:43,576
Non. It was not
Mademoiselle Blake...
1264
01:17:43,784 --> 01:17:46,620
who killed
Mademoiselle Springer.
1265
01:17:46,829 --> 01:17:50,291
So, let us return now
to the night of the murder.
1266
01:17:52,084 --> 01:17:54,545
The killer must act rapidly
because at any moment...
1267
01:17:54,753 --> 01:17:56,797
they might be disturbed.
1268
01:17:57,006 --> 01:17:59,675
So, the tennis racket belonging
to Jennifer Sutcliffe...
1269
01:17:59,884 --> 01:18:04,471
it is found, grabbed,
and the killer disappears...
1270
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,350
pfft, into the night...
1271
01:18:08,559 --> 01:18:09,852
but what, of course,
the killer cannot know...
1272
01:18:10,060 --> 01:18:12,646
is that a short while before,
Jennifer Sutcliffe...
1273
01:18:12,855 --> 01:18:16,108
had exchanged the rackets
with Julia Upjohn...
1274
01:18:17,443 --> 01:18:20,404
...and swapped the tapes
that bore their names.
1275
01:18:23,532 --> 01:18:27,119
And now we come
to the second incident --
1276
01:18:27,328 --> 01:18:32,458
the attack on Mademoiselle Rich
which came so near to tragedy.
1277
01:18:32,666 --> 01:18:33,709
Why were you
in the sports pavilion...
1278
01:18:33,918 --> 01:18:35,669
that night, mademoiselle?
1279
01:18:35,878 --> 01:18:40,132
I wanted to search
Princess Shaista's locker...
1280
01:18:40,341 --> 01:18:42,676
to see if there were any clues
as to where she'd got to.
1281
01:18:42,885 --> 01:18:47,348
Bon, but someone
followed you there...
1282
01:18:47,556 --> 01:18:51,185
and struck you on the back
of the head with a sandbag...
1283
01:18:51,393 --> 01:18:54,813
as you knelt down in front of
the locker of Princess Shaista.
1284
01:18:58,442 --> 01:19:01,070
Who could this have been?
1285
01:19:06,450 --> 01:19:08,744
And again, this crime was
discovered almost at once...
1286
01:19:08,953 --> 01:19:10,871
because...
1287
01:19:12,831 --> 01:19:15,251
Mademoiselle Chadwick...
1288
01:19:15,459 --> 01:19:18,295
you saw the light on
in the pavilion, hein,
1289
01:19:18,504 --> 01:19:20,047
and hurried out there, hein?
1290
01:19:22,925 --> 01:19:25,219
Many of you have
the alibi most strong...
1291
01:19:25,427 --> 01:19:27,846
but where was
Mademoiselle Bulstrode?
1292
01:19:30,849 --> 01:19:31,809
The meeting
with the governors...
1293
01:19:32,017 --> 01:19:32,977
was not until
the next morning...
1294
01:19:33,185 --> 01:19:35,229
and she left the school
at 7:30 that evening...
1295
01:19:35,437 --> 01:19:37,022
so could it be
Mademoiselle Bulstrode...
1296
01:19:37,231 --> 01:19:39,900
that struck down
Mademoiselle Rich?
1297
01:19:41,944 --> 01:19:43,487
Non.
1298
01:19:43,696 --> 01:19:45,239
Non, because
Mademoiselle Bulstrode...
1299
01:19:45,447 --> 01:19:48,534
was on a mission
most delicate --
1300
01:19:48,742 --> 01:19:52,496
the discovery
that la pauvre maman...
1301
01:19:52,705 --> 01:19:55,708
of one of her colleagues
lives out her days...
1302
01:19:55,916 --> 01:19:57,710
in a lunatic asylum.
1303
01:19:57,918 --> 01:19:58,961
You knew?
1304
01:19:59,169 --> 01:20:03,924
Yes, my dear.
Someone alerted me.
1305
01:20:04,133 --> 01:20:07,845
"For the care of A. Shapland."
Same initial, you see.
1306
01:20:08,053 --> 01:20:10,097
I had to look into it...
1307
01:20:10,306 --> 01:20:11,473
especially with
all the whispering...
1308
01:20:11,682 --> 01:20:15,978
about somebody being
not quite right in our midst.
1309
01:20:18,647 --> 01:20:20,524
So, there now remains
to consider...
1310
01:20:20,733 --> 01:20:23,277
the murder
of Mademoiselle Blanche.
1311
01:20:23,485 --> 01:20:24,862
I believe that
Mademoiselle Blanche...
1312
01:20:25,070 --> 01:20:27,614
knew the identity
of this killer...
1313
01:20:27,823 --> 01:20:32,119
but nothing, rien,
is more dangerous...
1314
01:20:32,328 --> 01:20:34,121
than to levy the blackmail
on a person...
1315
01:20:34,330 --> 01:20:36,749
who has killed at least once.
1316
01:20:40,419 --> 01:20:43,047
Mademoiselle Blanche,
she makes an appointment...
1317
01:20:43,255 --> 01:20:45,799
with the murderer,
and, of course...
1318
01:20:49,219 --> 01:20:50,346
...she is killed.
1319
01:20:52,681 --> 01:20:55,893
And there, mes amis, you have
an account of this whole affair.
1320
01:21:02,524 --> 01:21:04,151
And now what?
1321
01:21:06,028 --> 01:21:08,739
Eh bien, let us to consider.
1322
01:21:10,532 --> 01:21:14,453
The knowledge that these jewels
were concealed...
1323
01:21:14,661 --> 01:21:15,996
within the handle
of a tennis racket...
1324
01:21:16,205 --> 01:21:17,706
could only have been acquired
in one way.
1325
01:21:17,915 --> 01:21:20,209
Someone must have seen them
put in there.
1326
01:21:24,088 --> 01:21:29,676
Any one of you could have been
in Ramat over the summer.
1327
01:21:39,019 --> 01:21:40,562
You, par example,
Mademoiselle Rich.
1328
01:21:40,771 --> 01:21:44,233
No. I was ill.
I was away for a term.
1329
01:21:44,441 --> 01:21:45,984
For a term, yes,
but over the summer...
1330
01:21:46,193 --> 01:21:47,194
you could have been in Ramat.
1331
01:21:47,403 --> 01:21:50,948
But you know where I was.
You promised --
1332
01:21:51,156 --> 01:21:55,869
Look here. Hasn't the poor girl
suffered enough?
1333
01:21:56,078 --> 01:21:58,997
Why do we have to go through
these wretched theatricals?
1334
01:21:59,206 --> 01:22:00,165
I must protest.
1335
01:22:00,374 --> 01:22:02,000
Oui d'accord.
1336
01:22:02,209 --> 01:22:05,170
Mademoiselle Rich
was not in Ramat --
1337
01:22:05,379 --> 01:22:07,673
that has been ascertained.
1338
01:22:12,803 --> 01:22:15,055
But someone was there.
1339
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:23,313
The Angel was there...
1340
01:22:23,522 --> 01:22:27,734
and here Poirot must present to
you a person most significant...
1341
01:22:27,943 --> 01:22:29,820
a person that many of you
have never before encountered --
1342
01:22:30,028 --> 01:22:37,578
Madame Upjohn, oui,
la maman of Julia Upjohn...
1343
01:22:37,786 --> 01:22:39,913
and in the years past,
she was a member...
1344
01:22:40,122 --> 01:22:42,416
of the British Secret Service.
1345
01:22:42,624 --> 01:22:45,210
-Secret Service?
-Oui.
1346
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,549
On the day that Poirot presented
the Pemberton Shield...
1347
01:22:50,757 --> 01:22:54,094
Madame Upjohn recognizes
a face in the crowd...
1348
01:22:54,303 --> 01:23:00,017
the face of an agent
most dangerous, a Killer...
1349
01:23:00,225 --> 01:23:08,108
a person known as The Angel
whom she thought long dead.
1350
01:23:08,317 --> 01:23:09,610
Oh, she dismisses the idea.
1351
01:23:09,818 --> 01:23:12,196
It is a resemblance, no more.
1352
01:23:14,072 --> 01:23:16,450
But a member of the staff
was watching most closely...
1353
01:23:16,658 --> 01:23:20,579
and we now know that
Mademoiselle Springer realizes
1354
01:23:20,787 --> 01:23:22,748
that The Angel
has been identified...
1355
01:23:22,956 --> 01:23:25,626
and is very much alive.
1356
01:23:25,834 --> 01:23:28,420
I suspect that this Angel
was working...
1357
01:23:28,629 --> 01:23:29,963
for the revolutionaries
in Ramat...
1358
01:23:30,172 --> 01:23:31,465
eating away
at the very foundations...
1359
01:23:31,673 --> 01:23:33,091
of the government
of Prince Ali Yusuf...
1360
01:23:33,300 --> 01:23:36,053
and in so doing, she forms
a relationship most intense...
1361
01:23:36,261 --> 01:23:38,305
with the great friend
of the Prince --
1362
01:23:38,514 --> 01:23:39,556
Bob Rawlinson...
1363
01:23:39,765 --> 01:23:42,518
and then one day,
purely by chance...
1364
01:23:42,726 --> 01:23:45,896
she sees something
extraordinaire...
1365
01:23:47,272 --> 01:23:52,152
...a treasure so magnifique,
she will be secure all her life.
1366
01:23:52,361 --> 01:23:54,488
She determines to retrieve
these jewels herself...
1367
01:23:54,696 --> 01:23:58,200
in her own identity
as a free agent...
1368
01:23:58,408 --> 01:24:02,496
not as a paid lackey
of the revolutionaries.
1369
01:24:04,998 --> 01:24:07,376
Who could this be?
1370
01:24:22,140 --> 01:24:24,851
You, Mademoiselle Shapland.
1371
01:24:25,060 --> 01:24:27,187
What?
1372
01:24:27,396 --> 01:24:29,690
You have lived the life
most dangerous, mademoiselle...
1373
01:24:29,898 --> 01:24:32,859
but you have never been
suspected in your own identity.
1374
01:24:33,068 --> 01:24:35,445
All the jobs you have taken
have been most genuine, yes...
1375
01:24:35,654 --> 01:24:37,364
but all with
a purpose singulaire --
1376
01:24:37,573 --> 01:24:38,991
the obtaining of information.
1377
01:24:39,199 --> 01:24:40,367
Ever since you were seventeen,
mademoiselle...
1378
01:24:40,576 --> 01:24:42,035
you have been a secret agent.
1379
01:24:42,244 --> 01:24:43,370
You have worked
for many different masters...
1380
01:24:43,579 --> 01:24:45,914
in many different guises,
but it was in the guise...
1381
01:24:46,123 --> 01:24:49,710
of Angelica de Buque,
the cabaret dancer francaise...
1382
01:24:49,918 --> 01:24:51,878
that you spent the summer
in Ramat.
1383
01:24:52,087 --> 01:24:53,213
Oh, come on.
1384
01:24:53,422 --> 01:24:55,007
Monsieur Poirot,
that's impossible.
1385
01:24:55,215 --> 01:24:57,217
Impossible? Non.
1386
01:24:57,426 --> 01:24:59,052
There was no opportunity
of taking the tennis racket...
1387
01:24:59,261 --> 01:25:01,388
there and then because
of the evacuation most sudden...
1388
01:25:01,597 --> 01:25:02,806
of the British people...
1389
01:25:03,015 --> 01:25:05,142
and to obtain
a secretarial position here...
1390
01:25:05,350 --> 01:25:07,019
it was not difficult.
1391
01:25:07,227 --> 01:25:09,313
I propose that you paid
a sum most substantial...
1392
01:25:09,521 --> 01:25:11,648
to the former secretary of
Mademoiselle Bulstrode's --
1393
01:25:11,857 --> 01:25:14,401
-Vera?
-Oui. To vacate her post.
1394
01:25:14,610 --> 01:25:17,404
Now everything is easy,
is it not, hein?
1395
01:25:17,613 --> 01:25:20,198
If a tennis racket of a child
went missing, what of it?
1396
01:25:20,407 --> 01:25:22,909
And simpler still,
you could now gain access...
1397
01:25:23,118 --> 01:25:29,708
to the sports pavilion at night
and abstract the jewels...
1398
01:25:29,916 --> 01:25:34,171
but you had failed to take into
account Mademoiselle Springer.
1399
01:25:34,379 --> 01:25:37,257
-This is crazy.
-Oh.
1400
01:25:37,466 --> 01:25:40,344
Miss Bulstrode,
you can't honestly --
1401
01:25:42,304 --> 01:25:44,431
Anyway, where's your proof?
1402
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,809
-You haven't a shred of --
-Now, Inspector! Now!
1403
01:25:51,313 --> 01:25:54,608
There. That's her.
I was right. I was right.
1404
01:25:54,816 --> 01:25:56,360
Oh!
1405
01:25:56,568 --> 01:25:58,528
Put it down, Ann.
1406
01:25:58,737 --> 01:26:02,115
No, Miss. Shan't.
1407
01:26:02,324 --> 01:26:04,618
No!
1408
01:26:04,826 --> 01:26:07,204
Get moving.
1409
01:26:07,412 --> 01:26:10,082
Oh, what's happening?
1410
01:26:10,290 --> 01:26:11,792
Get a doctor, quickly.
1411
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,961
-I'll go.
-Bad. It's very bad.
1412
01:26:15,170 --> 01:26:19,341
It was for the school.
1413
01:26:20,592 --> 01:26:22,469
For the school.
1414
01:26:22,678 --> 01:26:26,098
She was only a slip of a thing,
but lethal.
1415
01:26:26,306 --> 01:26:28,308
Bitch. You bitch.
1416
01:26:28,517 --> 01:26:31,269
I recognized her face
from the files.
1417
01:26:36,525 --> 01:26:38,110
But she was dead...
1418
01:26:38,318 --> 01:26:40,320
killed on a mission in Silesia.
1419
01:26:40,529 --> 01:26:41,822
Or so you thought.
1420
01:26:42,030 --> 01:26:43,156
Ambulance is on its way.
1421
01:26:43,365 --> 01:26:44,908
I'll get her
straight to the hospital.

1423
01:26:46,868 --> 01:26:48,829
-I thought --
-What, lover boy?
1424
01:26:49,037 --> 01:26:51,498
You thought you'd made
a pretty good catch?
1425
01:26:51,707 --> 01:26:54,751
I've eaten better fellas
than you for breakfast.
1426
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:56,878
You were just a bit of fluff
until the fuss died down...
1427
01:26:57,087 --> 01:26:59,339
and I could get away.
1428
01:27:01,717 --> 01:27:05,262
It was that gorgon Springer
who started to unravel it all.
1429
01:27:08,890 --> 01:27:10,559
Aha.
1430
01:27:17,524 --> 01:27:19,109
What the hell do you want?
1431
01:27:19,317 --> 01:27:23,196
Oh, don't worry.
Your secret's safe with me...
1432
01:27:23,405 --> 01:27:25,031
for now.
1433
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:26,616
I said, what do you want?
1434
01:27:26,825 --> 01:27:28,118
Fun.

01:27:57,564 --> 01:28:00,066
I wiped the smile off her face.
1443
01:28:00,275 --> 01:28:02,486
But still you could not
find the jewels, hein...
1444
01:28:02,694 --> 01:28:04,070
and then later,
Mademoiselle Blanche...
1445
01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:06,823
she tries to blackmail you,
and you kill her.
1446
01:28:07,032 --> 01:28:11,119
It comes so natural to you,
does it not, to kill?
1447
01:28:11,328 --> 01:28:13,038
Natural as breathing, darling.
1448
01:28:13,246 --> 01:28:16,208
-Sir?
-Let's get her out.
1449
01:28:16,416 --> 01:28:18,418
Ann Shapland, I'm arresting you
for the murder...
1450
01:28:18,627 --> 01:28:21,421
of Grace Springer
and Elise Blanche.
1451
01:28:21,630 --> 01:28:23,256
Miss Chadwick...
1452
01:28:26,134 --> 01:28:29,513
Monsieur Poirot,
I don't understand.
1453
01:28:29,721 --> 01:28:32,390
That still leaves
the attack on Miss Rich.
1454
01:28:32,599 --> 01:28:35,185
She couldn't have done it. We --
1455
01:28:36,728 --> 01:28:39,022
We were together all evening.
1456
01:28:39,231 --> 01:28:41,149
Oui, d'accord.
1457
01:28:41,358 --> 01:28:43,860
No, it was not she who tried
to kill Mademoiselle Rich.
1458
01:28:44,069 --> 01:28:46,238
Then who did try to kill me?
1459
01:28:52,452 --> 01:28:54,913
She loved Meadowbank
too much, I think.
1460
01:28:57,457 --> 01:28:59,251
And when I spoke of retiring...
1461
01:28:59,459 --> 01:29:03,046
She regarded herself as the only
person who could take over.
1462
01:29:03,255 --> 01:29:05,966
But she was too old.
She must have known that.
1463
01:29:06,174 --> 01:29:08,969
She could not
think clearly, I fear.
1464
01:29:09,177 --> 01:29:11,888
Something in her mind
must have snapped.
1465
01:29:21,523 --> 01:29:25,819
Once again, she sees
the light in the pavilion.
1466
01:29:26,027 --> 01:29:29,656
She thinks she can prove herself
by catching the killer.
1467
01:29:29,865 --> 01:29:33,326
She picks up a sandbag
from a fire bucket...
1468
01:29:33,535 --> 01:29:35,495
and what does she find?
1469
01:29:35,704 --> 01:29:38,832
Eileen Rich, her rival...
1470
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,669
and all the resentment,
all the mounting pressure...

POIROT: But this was a moment
of madness.
1475
01:29:56,892 --> 01:30:00,103
Mademoiselle Chadwick
is not a killer by nature...
1476
01:30:00,312 --> 01:30:03,523
and what she told to the police
was the truth exactly...
1477
01:30:03,732 --> 01:30:07,193
except for the fact that it was
she who struck the blow.
1478
01:30:09,613 --> 01:30:14,367
At once, her mind rebels
at what she has done.
1479
01:30:14,576 --> 01:30:18,747
Oh..aah!

01:30:20,707 --> 01:30:24,628
Aah! Aah!
1481
01:30:24,836 --> 01:30:27,881
That's why Ann Shapland
used a sandbag...

01:30:28,089 --> 01:30:29,549
to kill Mademoiselle Blanche?
1483
01:30:29,758 --> 01:30:35,055
Precisement. Ann Shapland, hein?
1484
01:30:35,263 --> 01:30:39,476
A young woman
who is very clever.
1485
01:30:39,684 --> 01:30:41,436
Out of the blue
comes this second attack...
1486
01:30:41,645 --> 01:30:43,939
for which, of course,
she has the alibi...
1487
01:30:44,147 --> 01:30:46,691
and later, she thinks she
can tie up the murder...
1488
01:30:46,900 --> 01:30:49,736
of Mademoiselle Blanche
with this...
1489
01:30:49,945 --> 01:30:52,989
but, of course, it is
only natural to assume...
1490
01:30:53,198 --> 01:30:56,034
that it was the work
of the same person.
1491
01:30:58,578 --> 01:31:00,288
Hello, Chaddy.

01:31:02,958 --> 01:31:07,629

1496
01:31:19,599 --> 01:31:21,935
I know.

I can't --
1498

I'l never forgive myself.

doesn't it?

my life for both of you.

all right.

You did, my dear.

01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:07,188
You did.
1507
01:32:31,004 --> 01:32:33,923
Would you like me
to leave now...
1508
01:32:34,132 --> 01:32:36,843
or would you prefer I waited
until the end of term?
1509

I beg your pardon?
1510
01:32:39,387 --> 01:32:42,348

why I was away.

You'll stay
till the end of term...

and if there is a new one here,
which I still hope...

Of course I still want you.

about Mademoiselle Rich
some time before, alas...

-Oh, Monsieur Poirot.
1543
01:34:18,653 --> 01:34:20,572
You should be very proud
of your little one.
1544
01:34:20,780 --> 01:34:22,407
She has shown the great courage.
1545
01:34:22,615 --> 01:34:25,618
Oh, never mind that, Mr. P.
What about Mummy here?

01:34:25,827 --> 01:34:28,830
A secret agent all this time,
and I never knew.

01:34:29,038 --> 01:34:30,290
Well, not really.
1548
01:34:30,498 --> 01:34:31,833
She's told me
all about the shooting...

01:34:32,041 --> 01:34:34,460
and Miss Shapland, and I think
it is bloody exciting.

01:34:45,346 --> 01:34:46,973
Alas, oui.
1556
01:34:47,182 --> 01:34:49,934
I have an appointment
with your Foreign Office.
1557
01:34:50,143 --> 01:34:53,563
There is a little matter
of a king's ransom in rubies...
1558
01:34:53,771 --> 01:34:54,939
that must be returned.
1559
01:34:55,148 --> 01:34:57,984
Oh, yes.
Oh, they were rather smashing.
1560
01:34:58,193 --> 01:35:02,155
No chance they could be regarded
as, whatchamacallit...
1561
01:35:02,363 --> 01:35:03,323
Treasure Trove?
1562
01:35:03,531 --> 01:35:04,490
Non, mais non. Non.
1563
01:35:04,699 --> 01:35:05,700
The jewels,
they must be returned...
1564
01:35:05,909 --> 01:35:08,661
to their rightful owner --
the real Princess Shaista...
1565
01:35:08,870 --> 01:35:10,997
who has been found to live
a life quite pleasant...
1566
01:35:11,206 --> 01:35:16,461
in a Swiss chalet,
but in recognition...
1567
01:35:16,669 --> 01:35:20,632
of your assistance so great
in this affair so dangerous...
1568
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:25,553
I have been authorized to
present to you un petit cadeau.
1569
01:35:27,722 --> 01:35:29,974
What are they?
1570
01:35:30,183 --> 01:35:32,894
I believe they are called
the gobstoppers.
1571
01:35:33,102 --> 01:35:36,648
Oh, super.
1572
01:35:36,856 --> 01:35:38,733
Say thank you
to Monsieur Poirot, Julia.
1573
01:35:38,942 --> 01:35:40,485
Thank you.
1574
01:35:40,693 --> 01:35:42,862
Je vous emprie, mademoiselle.
1575
01:35:45,615 --> 01:35:48,117
Oh, and, mademoiselle,
please to take care...
1576
01:35:48,326 --> 01:35:50,370
when eating the red one, hein?
1577
01:35:50,578 --> 01:35:53,248
It has the center most hard.
1578
01:36:11,307 --> 01:36:14,310
