KNOCK AT DOOR
6
00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:47,860
- Mrs Marbury?
- Mm.
7
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:54,540
Mr Cust.
8
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:05,406
Rent is two and six a week,
you pay up front and a week in hand.
9
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:08,979
Some parcels got delivered for you.
We took them up.
10
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:11,739
I trust you're not going to be
expecting that service
11
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:13,459
regularly, carrying parcels.
12
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:15,419
What do you think I am,
a pack horse?
13
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:17,259
You should have left them
for me to carry.
14
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:19,379
And have brown paper items
littering my vestibule?
15
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:20,900
This is no post office.
16
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:25,699
I'm very sorry to inconvenience you,
Mrs Marbury.
17
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,179
The front door is bolted at
ten o'clock sharp.
18
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,579
I don't hold with none of
my gentlemen out carousing
19
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:33,379
half the night. I don't hold
with no topers and sots neither.
20
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:36,859
Nor no bad language, profanities
and blasphemies and the like.
21
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:39,419
What I do hold with
is old-fashioned manners.
22
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:42,362
You mind your Ps and Qs
and we'll get along nicely.
23
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:47,659
The privy is in the yard.
24
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:50,739
I prefer my gentlemen
to not be cavalier in their use
25
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:53,379
of the lavatory paper.
It blocks up the pipes,
26
00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:57,086
and then who's got to get in there
with a stick and break it up?
27
00:03:57,740 --> 00:03:59,260
Me, that's who.
28
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:05,579
Are you just passing through
29
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:09,139
or do you expect to be
a long-term resident?
30
00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:10,620
That all depends.
31
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,379
On what?
32
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:16,660
The success of my enterprise.
33
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,779
Bedbugs?
34
00:04:28,780 --> 00:04:32,739
I run a clean house, Mr Cust.
A very clean house. No foreigns.
35
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:35,259
Not like some round here -
take in all sorts,
36
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:37,620
don't know
whose air you're breathing.
37
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:43,860
MAN MOANS
BEDSPRINGS CREAK
38
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:54,019
Mr Treadgold.
One of my long-term residents.
39
00:04:54,020 --> 00:04:57,139
Got a bad back.
My daughter Lily is helping him.
40
00:04:57,140 --> 00:05:00,140
Very skilled she is,
with gentlemen what have aches.
41
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,259
A shilling for ordinary.
42
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:09,143
You book through me. You pay me.
43
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:14,425
She knows her stuff,
won't give you no argument.
44
00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:19,070
I'll let you get unpacked.
45
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:14,700
I followed you the other day.
46
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:19,140
You looked old and tired.
47
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:24,580
You walk as if your feet hurt.
48
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:32,380
I was rather concerned for you.
49
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:41,500
I stood so close behind you.
50
00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:46,366
Could you feel my breath
on your neck, Hercule?
51
00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:00,540
Plenty will say that it is vanity.
52
00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:04,898
"That puffed up, pompous peacock
Poirot," they'll say.
53
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:09,339
And they'll laugh at you
behind your back,
54
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:11,620
but I'm not laughing...
55
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:14,369
...because it's not vanity.
56
00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:20,419
I think you're trying to roll
back the time to when you were
57
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:23,179
a famous detective.
58
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:27,580
When you were celebrated,
when you were wanted...
59
00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:32,460
...when you were loved.
60
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:42,739
I have never been loved,
61
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:44,260
but I will be feared.
62
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,339
I will be a faceless beast,
63
00:07:49,340 --> 00:07:52,500
leading lambs to the slaughter.
64
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:14,219
I need to speak to Inspector Japp
on a matter of urgency.
65
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:16,659
- I know the way.
- He's not here.
66
00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:18,619
Where is he?
67
00:08:18,620 --> 00:08:20,779
Hoeing his cabbages, most like.
68
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:22,739
Just a regular civilian now.
69
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:24,552
- He retired?
- Mm-hm.
70
00:08:24,995 --> 00:08:27,179
Who took over from him?
71
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:29,819
That'll be young
Inspector Crome, sir.
72
00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:33,350
- Then I'll speak to him.
- He's out on a case at the moment.
73
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:37,999
Take a seat with the other members
of the public, if you'd be so good.
74
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,060
Inspector Crome, sir.
75
00:09:08,620 --> 00:09:10,620
Hercule Poirot.
76
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:42,059
I will be a faceless beast
leading lambs to the slaughter.
77
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,379
Inspector Japp.
78
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:47,699
"I'm going to do something
for both of us, Hercule.
79
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:50,939
"I'm getting my ducks in a row,
as they say.
80
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:52,659
"I'll let you know when I'm ready.
81
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:57,259
"Until then, chin-chin. ABC."
82
00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:01,459
Every letter from ABC
has a different postmark.
83
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:05,379
I keep the envelopes.
They're different from the others.
84
00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:08,259
- What others?
- THE others.
85
00:10:08,260 --> 00:10:15,580
A small selection, presented solely
for comparison of tone and intent.
86
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:21,739
"You're not better than us.
Piss off, Froggy."
87
00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:27,219
19 years I've lived here,
and still people think I'm French.
88
00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:29,460
- Are they all like this?
- Mm.
89
00:10:31,060 --> 00:10:34,819
You should have said
you were retiring.
90
00:10:34,820 --> 00:10:37,019
I would have raised a glass to you.
91
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:43,380
Ah, didn't want to make a big
song and dance. Just did it quietly.
92
00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:50,139
Japp, why wouldn't
Inspector Crome see me?
93
00:10:50,140 --> 00:10:53,659
Well, you know what young men
are like. Want to make their name.
94
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:56,779
He's a good lad, though.
Just give him time.
95
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:58,859
Why do you keep these?
96
00:10:58,860 --> 00:11:01,899
You should chuck them in the bin
where they belong.
97
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:03,980
They come every day, Japp.
98
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:10,179
The letters from ABC
are polite, sympathetic,
99
00:11:10,180 --> 00:11:12,019
almost friendly.
100
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:14,419
They scare me the most.
101
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:17,259
And there is something wrong
about them.
102
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:21,059
I cannot put my finger on
what is wrong about them.
103
00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:24,739
Something wrong with them?
Everything's wrong with them!
104
00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:28,420
"I will be a faceless beast."
This bloke's off his crust!
105
00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:32,900
You're out of sorts.
106
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,779
Too much on your own.
107
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,659
Now, if you were busy,
you'd see these for what they are -
108
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:42,499
nasty, cruel people,
109
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,139
and some mad bloke
playing a vicious game with you,
110
00:11:45,140 --> 00:11:47,670
and you'd chuck
the whole sorry lot of them.
111
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:58,299
I've baked a ham.
112
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,019
Got some spuds.
113
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:01,939
Nice red cabbage.
114
00:12:01,940 --> 00:12:03,899
Come and have supper.
115
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:06,459
Jam roly-poly
with custard for pudding.
116
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:09,819
- Quelle horreur! English food.
- Come on.
117
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:11,899
We'll set the world to rights.
118
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:14,548
Even got some brandy
left over from Christmas.
119
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:19,419
I could use the company too,
if I'm honest.
120
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:22,339
If it is a favour to you,
then I accept.
121
00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:23,779
Smashing.
122
00:12:23,780 --> 00:12:26,739
But first, I'm burning these.
123
00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:30,099
Every last single one of them.
124
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,180
Japp...
125
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:34,020
...thank you, my friend.
126
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:38,983
Close the shed for me
and we'll head straight off.
127
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:49,740
HE BREATHES RAGGEDLY
128
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,580
Japp?
129
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:09,100
Japp? Japp?
130
00:15:06,380 --> 00:15:07,419
BELL RINGS
131
00:15:07,420 --> 00:15:08,660
SHE SIGHS
132
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:17,419
Good morning to you, madam.
133
00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:20,059
Do I have the privilege of
addressing Mrs Alice Asher?
134
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:23,499
Yes, but don't waste your breath
on the patter, sunshine.
135
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:27,699
I'm not buying anything and I've
a sandwich waiting, so on your way.
136
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:30,940
You don't know what
I'm selling yet, Mrs Asher.
137
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:45,860
RATTLE OF LETTERBOX
138
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:19,139
The Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away.
139
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:20,660
Blessed be the Lord.
140
00:16:22,460 --> 00:16:26,980
Man that is born of woman
hath but a short time to live...
141
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:09,659
Inspector Crome! Do not make me
chase you through a graveyard!
142
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:11,740
It's beneath both our dignities!
143
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:14,890
Mr Poirot.
144
00:17:14,892 --> 00:17:17,979
I need you to speak
to your colleagues in Andover.
145
00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:19,539
About what?
146
00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:20,820
Murder.
147
00:17:31,260 --> 00:17:33,299
This was Japp's office.
148
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,020
It was.
149
00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:41,699
You still do those murder
parties, in the big houses?
150
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,219
Like when you were a celebrity?
151
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:45,499
Odd thing to do -
152
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:48,499
rich people pretending
to be murdered.
153
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:49,899
Grisly.
154
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:51,820
There's no longer the demand.
155
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:54,660
Mr Poirot...
156
00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:57,620
...you appear to be melting.
157
00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:06,499
Must have been jolly though,
158
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,779
cavorting with the gentry.
159
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:10,939
The bright young things.
160
00:18:10,940 --> 00:18:12,220
The aristos.
161
00:18:13,220 --> 00:18:15,219
Playing at death.
162
00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:17,619
Fun... while it lasted.
163
00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:21,739
Inspector Crome,
have I caused you some offence?
164
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:27,379
Do you mean me personally, or me
collectively, as in the force?
165
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:29,019
Both.
166
00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:31,979
What offence do you think you
might have caused, Mr Poirot?
167
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:35,339
You're the great detective,
the solver of impenetrable clues.
168
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:37,619
- You work it out.
- KNOCK AT DOOR
169
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:39,179
Yelland.
170
00:18:39,180 --> 00:18:42,579
So I've spoken in depth to
our colleagues at Andover, sir,
171
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:44,779
and received details
of all crimes committed
172
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:46,979
on the 31st of March, 1933, to wit -
173
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:50,459
a dog running off with some laundry,
a bicycle thrown in a river,
174
00:18:50,460 --> 00:18:53,619
an altercation involving
a set of dentures. Dentures?
175
00:18:53,620 --> 00:18:57,819
Yes, sir, the miscreant being
one Herbert "Humpy" Morris, who
176
00:18:57,820 --> 00:19:02,179
requested that a passing lady give
him a smile to which she responded
177
00:19:02,180 --> 00:19:06,219
with some choice Anglo-Saxon,
whereupon Morris threw his dentures
178
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:10,659
at her, the lady stamped on them and
it all turned into quite the to-do.
179
00:19:10,660 --> 00:19:11,540
What else?
180
00:19:11,542 --> 00:19:14,179
The usual run of drunk
and disorderlies and breaches of
181
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:17,699
the peace, punch-ups, soliciting
and a boy broke the window of
182
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,219
Asher's tobacconists but Mrs
Asher didn't answer the door
183
00:19:21,220 --> 00:19:24,659
so the constable concluded
she was in the public house,
184
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,659
as she was often wont to be,
taped some cardboard over
185
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:31,579
the window and let the young lad off
with a clip round the lug-hole.
186
00:19:31,580 --> 00:19:33,979
- No murders.
- No, sir.
187
00:19:33,980 --> 00:19:35,939
No corpse in the library.
188
00:19:35,940 --> 00:19:40,099
No silver candlestick
rammed in some heiress' eye socket.
189
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:43,100
No twitching guts
in the conservatory.
190
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:46,580
No, sir.
191
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:49,900
Well, there we are then.
192
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:53,879
I hope that puts your mind at rest.
193
00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:58,259
You know what day it is today,
don't you?
194
00:19:58,260 --> 00:19:59,939
The first of April.
195
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:01,500
Fools' Day.
196
00:20:02,740 --> 00:20:04,940
I think you've just been taken.
197
00:20:10,020 --> 00:20:13,580
Your time and effort
in this matter are appreciated.
198
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:19,539
Why's his chin all grey?
199
00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:20,739
Don't ask.

00:20:20,740 --> 00:20:22,500

Le Seigneur est avec vous.
211
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:45,379
Breaches of the peace, punch-ups,
212
00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:49,099
soliciting, and a boy broke
the window of Asher's tobacconists,
213
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,259
but Mrs Asher didn't answer the door
so the constable concluded she was
214

00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:58,539
- Don't ask.
- LAUGHTER

What offence do you think you
might have caused, Mr Poirot?

What offence do you think you might

What offence do you think you might
have caused, Mr Poirot?
222
00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:17,700

00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:21,579

Going to the rope for this,
you know that?
269
00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:48,699
Going to crack your neck.
270
00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:50,139
It wasn't me.
271
00:28:50,140 --> 00:28:52,820
- Balls.
- It isn't him.
272
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:56,819
Use your eyes, Detective Bunce.
273
00:28:56,820 --> 00:29:00,619
Alice Asher's neighbour said
he was always threatening his wife,
274
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:04,059
that he said he was
going to cut her throat,
275
00:29:04,060 --> 00:29:06,459
then he was going to
cut her head clean off
276
00:29:06,460 --> 00:29:09,739
and he practically did
cut her head clean off.
277
00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:12,259
Her head? Her head was cut off?
278
00:29:12,260 --> 00:29:13,699
Like you don't know.
279
00:29:13,700 --> 00:29:17,859
To inflict such a mortal wound with
a weapon inadequate to the task
280
00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:20,139
requires great strength.
281
00:29:20,140 --> 00:29:22,579
Monsieur Asher is a dipsomaniac.
282
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:24,659
He has delirium tremens.
283
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:27,819
He could not strike a match,
let alone wield a knife.
284
00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:31,539
And where is the blood?
He's not washed his hands.
285
00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:35,219
There would be blood ingrained
in the beds of his fingernails,
286
00:29:35,220 --> 00:29:37,899
the skin of his knuckles,
his wrists,
287
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:42,099
the cuffs of his shirt.
There would be blood everywhere.
288
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,379
It isn't him.
289
00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:48,019
He bought some gloves
and then he chucked them after.
290
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:53,739
Mon dieu, Detective Bunce,
you are no student of human frailty.
291
00:29:53,740 --> 00:29:57,539
Any money he has,
he spends on his demon.
292
00:29:57,540 --> 00:29:59,459
On alcohol.
293
00:29:59,460 --> 00:30:01,219
He would not buy gloves.
294
00:30:01,220 --> 00:30:04,019
And the cash register
was undisturbed.
295
00:30:04,020 --> 00:30:06,860
If money were the motive,
he would have taken it.
296
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:14,859
You reckon you know it all,
don't you? Hm?
297
00:30:14,860 --> 00:30:17,779
Well, you don't.
298
00:30:17,780 --> 00:30:19,420
Case closed.
299
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:14,500
If Mum knew what you were
really like, Betty.
300
00:31:16,540 --> 00:31:18,739
If Donald knew.
301
00:31:18,740 --> 00:31:20,259
He'll find out.
302
00:31:20,260 --> 00:31:23,499
But not before I get bored of him.
Because he is boring, Megan.
303
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:27,379
The only thing interesting
about him is his pay packet.
304
00:31:27,380 --> 00:31:29,379
He is so boring.
305
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:31,419
It's like talking to a plate.
306
00:31:31,420 --> 00:31:33,539
How did you put up with him?
307
00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:34,740
I loved him.
308
00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:41,339
All I had to do was click
my fingers and he came running.
309
00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:43,859
Threw you over
like you were nothing.
310
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:46,459
I did you a favour there, Megan.
311
00:31:46,460 --> 00:31:50,499
One day you'll see that and
maybe then you'll stop being
312
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:53,699
such a sour, joyless, vinegar tits.
313
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,419

It can't be true.
391
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:26,020
Someone took our girl from us,
Donald. Our perfect angel!
392

What are we going to do without her?
393
00:42:31,060 --> 00:42:33,099

Betty wasn't either of those things.
My sister was a slut.

Mademoiselle, your sister is dead.

00:42:54,860 --> 00:42:57,019
She was still a slut.

00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:47,539
One of her meetings.
She'll be ages...
426

...and be rat-arsed when she gets in.
427
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:51,660

Cos if you did,
you could book direct with me.

Then I could keep the money.

It never is.

Come on, my darling.
Come on, let's get you to bed.

She can't wait for me to be dead.
SHE SOBS
443
00:46:27,580 --> 00:46:30,299
Sorry, Thora.
She doesn't mean any of it.
444
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:32,006
It's not really her speaking.

Please listen to me,
Inspector Crome.

A copy of the ABC railway guide
453
00:48:41,020 --> 00:48:46,699
was left beside the bodies of
both dead women. Do you know why?
454
00:48:46,700 --> 00:48:50,859
It is the killer telling us
"les regles du jeu" -

00:49:26,340 --> 00:49:27,660
the killer...
465
00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:31,579
...so we'll be going through
everything.
466
00:49:31,580 --> 00:49:33,899
Nothing's private any more.
467
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:36,219
This was on the mat.
468
00:49:36,220 --> 00:49:37,580
I'll read it to you.

00:49:43,220 --> 00:49:45,859
Cricklewood.

wasn't she?

00:49:51,940 --> 00:49:55,739
"when she realised that death
was waiting with open arms.
475
00:49:55,740 --> 00:49:58,019
"She surrendered to me
476
00:49:58,020 --> 00:50:02,100
"and I leaned over
her and inhaled her last breath...

00:50:04,060 --> 00:50:08,259
"..drew it into my mouth
and it tasted so sweet.

00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:34,779
- Telephone the doctor now.
- I'm not here for domestic duties.
483
00:50:34,780 --> 00:50:37,819
You telephone the doctor
or get one of the maids to do it.
484
00:50:37,820 --> 00:50:40,219
I am carrying a bowl of her
ladyship's blood that she's
485
00:50:40,220 --> 00:50:43,539
just coughed up and the maids are
changing her blood-soaked sheets
486
00:50:43,540 --> 00:50:46,893
so get off your skinny arse
and telephone the doctor. Now.
487
00:51:10,660 --> 00:51:12,819
Thora, tell him to hurry.
488
00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:14,699
She's in a lot of pain.
489
00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:16,540
Of course.
490
00:51:26,340 --> 00:51:28,820
SHE WHEEZES
491
00:51:45,940 --> 00:51:49,059
I'll send a constable morning
and evening to collect your post.
492
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:51,859
And don't make any more
day trips to crime scenes.
493
00:51:51,860 --> 00:51:54,139
You will not catch ABC without me.
494
00:51:54,140 --> 00:51:55,460
Yes, I will.
495
00:51:56,660 --> 00:52:00,219
My friend Inspector Japp
had the grace and wit
496
00:52:00,220 --> 00:52:04,059
to know the limitations
of his intellect.
497
00:52:04,060 --> 00:52:06,780
I wish you had
one ounce of his humility.
498
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:11,099
Your friend, Japp, who you deceived,
who you lied to for years.
499
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:12,419
I never lied.
500
00:52:12,420 --> 00:52:15,419
You told him you were a policeman
in Belgium before the war,
501
00:52:15,420 --> 00:52:17,379
a detective, but you weren't.
502
00:52:17,380 --> 00:52:20,859
Questions were asked about you,
high up in the food chain.
503
00:52:20,860 --> 00:52:24,499
Questions about me? Why?
I have served this country.
504
00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:28,499
People don't like it when the force
are made to look like half-wits
505
00:52:28,500 --> 00:52:30,059
by a foreigner.
506
00:52:30,060 --> 00:52:33,499
It's out of step with the public
mood so questions were asked.
507
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:35,819
Japp swore that you were genuine.
508
00:52:35,820 --> 00:52:38,540
That was him, loyal as a dog.
509
00:52:39,740 --> 00:52:43,779
But you were looked into
and there's no record of you.
510
00:52:43,780 --> 00:52:47,939
You are lucky you never
lived through an invasion.
511
00:52:47,940 --> 00:52:50,619
Things are burnt. Buildings. People.
512
00:52:50,620 --> 00:52:52,499
Records turned to ash.
513
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:55,500
No-one had ever heard your name.
514
00:52:56,940 --> 00:52:59,059
No Hercule Poirot registered
515
00:52:59,060 --> 00:53:02,179
anywhere in the Belgian
police before 1914.
516
00:53:02,180 --> 00:53:05,139
Japp staked his reputation,
his whole career on you
517
00:53:05,140 --> 00:53:06,659
and that was him over.
518
00:53:06,660 --> 00:53:10,299
His funeral should have been packed,
a guard of honour,
519
00:53:10,300 --> 00:53:14,219
but all he got was a handful of
old timers and you and me.
520
00:53:14,220 --> 00:53:19,259
He didn't die of a heart attack.
I reckon he just broke.
521
00:53:19,260 --> 00:53:21,979
And that's down to you
and your lying.
522
00:53:21,980 --> 00:53:23,419
He told me none of this.
523
00:53:23,420 --> 00:53:25,419
Inspector Crome,
524
00:53:25,420 --> 00:53:27,939
I gave my word to the dead.
525
00:53:27,940 --> 00:53:31,820
I cannot abandon them. I must not.
526
00:53:33,540 --> 00:53:35,860
