In The Moving Finger – Part Two, Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) delves deeper into the village of Lymstock’s scandalous poison pen letters and a string of mysterious deaths. As suspicion grows and old grudges surface, Miss Marple uses her keen insight into human nature to uncover the culprit hiding behind respectability.

01:36The writer of that wicked letter is morally guilty of murder.
01:40This court finds that Angela Margaret Symington did take her own life,
01:44whilst the balance of her mind was disturbed.
01:48Miss Partridge?
01:51I...I...
01:53What now?
01:54Tomorrow afternoon.
01:55Could I come and see you?
01:57Just for a chat?
01:59What you been up to now, then, eh?
02:01Nothing, Miss Partridge.
02:03I do have something on my mind.
02:05I do have something on my mind.
02:10I do have something in your着-
02:11I see you know the way you come and wear.
02:22I see you know the way you come and wear.
02:23I see you look beautiful.
02:25I see you know the way you come and wear.
02:27I'm not so galloping in her hair.
02:29I have
02:30Upon whose bosom snow has lain
02:37Who intermultly lives with rain
02:43Poems are made by fools like me
02:50Ah, superintendent, come along in, do
02:52Sorry to be sued
02:54Not at all
02:55But, Mrs. Don't be dear, just a moment
02:58Would you mind?
03:00Thank you so much
03:01Oh, I don't think you know my friend, Jane Marple
03:05Saw you at the inquest yesterday, didn't I, Miss Marple?
03:08Oh, yes, yes, sir
03:09Is this the only typewriter you ladies have?
03:12The one and only
03:13Errol, that's right, isn't it?
03:15Yes
03:16Mr. Symington gave it to us
03:18I see
03:18When was that?
03:20Oh, Miss Ginch, you'd know
03:22Oh, dear, let's see
03:23It must have been November last year
03:26Look, I'm holding you up
03:28I wonder if you'd mind typing out a couple of addresses on these envelopes for me
03:32Two fingers only, I'm afraid
03:34Two is enough
03:35Here they are
03:36Oh, I don't think I quite understand
03:41Oh, dear
03:42Those horrid letters all have typewritten envelopes
03:45They may have been typed on the same machine
03:48And I dare say the superintendent is, er, trying to track it down
03:53Just an area check
03:54Oh, of course
03:55Of course
03:57Oh, er, forgive me, superintendent
04:02I wonder, might I have a word with you?
04:04Certainly
04:04Yesterday's verdict
04:06Yes, Miss Marple
04:07Er, at the inquest
04:10Did you not find it perhaps a little too simple, too easy?
04:13Easy?
04:14Suicide
04:16As a conclusion
04:17No, Miss Marple
04:19I did not
04:20Here you are
04:21Thank you
04:22Thank you very much
04:24Sorry to disturb you
04:26Gosh, what a simply perfect evening
04:40Is there anywhere else in the world where summer days drop so slowly into night?
04:46Owen, you know you're quite an astonishing man
04:50Astonishing?
04:51Me?
04:51Yes, you
04:52One part cool, efficient, objective, the doctor
04:57Another talking about summer days dropping slowly into night
05:01Different person
05:02Well, I'm Welsh, you see
05:04That must be it
05:05No, I don't see
05:07So, tell me about Wales
05:09Wales?
05:10I don't know if I'll be much good at that
05:13All I know is that someday I have to go back there
05:17Stand on the hilltop
05:19Look down across the valley
05:20It's difficult to explain
05:24Yes
05:25To explain the things you love best
05:28Hello, the first
05:42Yes, Megan
05:43Okay, hold on
05:47Partridge
05:49She may have gone to bed
05:52One moment, sir
05:53She hasn't
05:54She's on her way down
05:55Partridge, Beatrice had tea with you
06:00What time did she leave?
06:01She never come, Mr. Patton
06:02But Miss Megan says
06:04She should have
06:04I waited tea for her
06:06Because she said she was worried
06:07And wanted to talk to me
06:08Worried?
06:10She's a fly-by-night, that one
06:11All right, Partridge
06:13I'm sorry to have disturbed you
06:15Hello, Megan
06:17She never turned up
06:18Oh
06:20Probably went off with that young man of hers
06:22Yes
06:24Look, is there anything wrong?
06:26You say I'm worried?
06:28Has anything happened?
06:30Look, is there anything I can do?
06:32I can be around in a minute
06:33Thanks
06:52Beatrice
06:55Oh, it's you, Miss Megan
07:12Oh, Rose
07:13Beatrice
07:14I thought she might have come in
07:16That's funny
07:17She never put on her best dress
07:21No
07:23But Avenue's off
07:25She always do
07:51I thought she was an old girl
07:53I thought it was not
07:54I thought she was an old person
07:55No
07:56But
07:57I thought you were a wedding
07:57I thought she was an old girl
07:58You have one of the old girl
08:00What the让

08:03That yuck
08:05Oh
08:18Ohh
08:18Hello. Who is it?
08:24Phone, Mr. Burton. That's Miss Megan.
08:26Coming.
08:28Urgent, you say?
08:30All right, Pudders.
08:48Hello, Megan.
08:49Oh, Gerry, thank God. Beatrice, she's dead.
08:53Oh, my God.
08:54She's been murdered. Gerry murdered!
08:56No, listen, just try and keep calm. I'll be right over with you. All right?
09:08Corcord?
09:09Huh?
09:10Put a man on every door. No one in, no one out on further notice. Clear?
09:12All right, sir.
09:13Johnson?
09:14On the door.
09:18All right, sir.
09:34I'd say between 15 and 20 hours. This is all yours.
09:48Bill?
09:52Sir?
09:54Close it.
09:59Told you about this here house, didn't I? That's ill luck.
10:03Wouldn't let me in do my work, would they?
10:05Don't suppose they would.
10:07This way, it's not yet.
10:09Oh.
10:30Just one moment, sir. You can't go in there, sir.
10:32But Miss Megan phoned me.
10:33As as may be, sir, but I got my orders.
10:44Oh, Gerry!
10:49Now then, miss, you can't come out here.
10:51I'll take her in, Councillor.
10:52Oh.
10:53Oh, if you would, sir.
10:54Right.
10:58Hold hard.
10:59She can't come out and you can't go in, I told you.
11:02Can't you see the state this girl is in?
11:04Now, either I take her in or you take the consequences.
11:13Consequences?
11:14But she was off for the whole afternoon.
11:18No.
11:19That's what we all reckoned, you see.
11:22But George learnt me.
11:24She come back.
11:25She came back.
11:27Oh.
11:29Oh, my dear.
11:31Oh, come and sit down.
11:33Oh, there.
11:35Oh.
11:37A cup of tea, I think, Rose.
11:39And a pint of sugar.
11:40And some brandy, if there is any.
11:41We'll find some.
11:42Oh, and after that, a couple of hot water bottles.
11:46We need to get her to bed.
11:47Yes.
11:50Oh, that's a relief.
11:51Sent the boys off to stay with their cousin.
11:53Thank goodness.
11:55What a day.
11:57Sorry.
11:58Megan, what on earth's the matter with you?
12:01Miss Holland.
12:02Just give me a moment, will you?
12:06Yeah, my dear.
12:07You'll be all right soon.
12:09I'll give you a nice cup of tea
12:10and put you to a nice wooden bed.
12:13She's in a state of shock.
12:16Well, we all are, aren't we?
12:18But you didn't find the body, did you?
12:22How is Mr. Symington?
12:24Shaken. Very shaken.
12:26Do something for me, will you?
12:27I'll try.
12:28Good girl.
12:30Go in there, will you?
12:31Stay with him.
12:32Try to get his mind off it.
12:33I'll do my best.
12:34That's the stuff.
12:39What the devil are you doing here?
12:42Megan phoned me.
12:43I give Johnson a strict one.
12:45How the hell did you get past him?
12:47It happens to be a bloody good thing that I did.
12:49The girl's deeply shocked and there's no one here gives a tinker's curse.
12:52All right, all right.
12:54Oh, the squadron leader.
12:56Good God.
12:58Now, don't worry.
12:59Rose is going to bring her up in a moment.
13:02She'll look after her.
13:03Tell me, has all of Limston got past Constable Johnson?
13:07Oh, I'm so very sorry.
13:08You see, I was talking to Rose the cook.
13:10Good.
13:11Good.
13:12And I've learned something which I think is rather important.
13:14Don't you?
13:15Possibly, if you'd be good enough to tell me what it is.
13:17It's Beatrice, you see.
13:19She came back to the house.
13:21She never left the house, Miss Marple.
13:23No, no, no.
13:24I'm so sorry.
13:25I'm talking about the day poor Mrs Symington died.
13:27Now, Beatrice quarrelled with her boyfriend, George, isn't it?
13:30Down at the garage.
13:32And she came back.
13:33She was here all that afternoon.
13:36Now, that does rather change things, doesn't it?
13:39Rose didn't tell me this.
13:41Oh, really, did she not?
13:43No.
13:44Well, perhaps you never asked her.
13:48Anything else, Miss Marple?
13:50No, I don't think so.
13:51No, not at the moment.
13:53And perhaps the two of you would be good enough to leave the premises.
13:56Oh, yes, yes, of course.
13:57Come along, squadron, neither.
14:05Oh, forgive me, Superintendent, but I hope that you don't find...
14:09Or, how shall I put it, find me irritating.
14:13Dismiss the thought, Miss Marple.
14:15Oh.
14:16Good.
14:17I'm so glad.
14:19Yes.
14:20Just a moment, madam.
14:22I got my orders.
14:23No one in, no one out.
14:27Goodness, what excitement.
14:29And the Sunday newspapers.
14:31Can't you just imagine?
14:32I don't wish to.
14:33Those journalists at the Swan.
14:35Drunk every night, I hear.
14:36The plot.
14:37But confess now.
14:38Don't you feel just the teeny-weeniest little bit of a thrill?
14:39You may, Mr. Pye.
14:40Ha, ha, ha.
14:41Ha, ha, ha.
14:42Ha, ha, ha.
14:43You may, Mr. Pye.
14:44Ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:46I'd be touching that if I were you.
15:09What?
15:10That little machine.
15:11This typewriter, why not?
15:12That's the one, weren't it?
15:14The one what?
15:15It was used.
15:16For all them envelopes.
15:18Who told you that?
15:19Constable Johnson told my Arthur.
15:22All written down at the women's, he say, on that there machine.
15:26They can tell, you see.
15:28That's science.
15:30Mr. Symington gave us his typewriter, Mrs. Cleet.
15:33Never said otherwise.
15:35But that were a long time ago, weren't it?
15:37You were setting out the chairs, weren't you?
15:39That was a long time ago, too.
15:41Do you think it's true?
15:47It's true, all right.
15:49That old bitch has an unfailing nose with her nasty.
15:52In that case, surely all of us here aren't...
15:56Yes, we're all under suspicion.
15:58Oh, no.
16:18Oh, no.
16:18Oh, no.
16:19Partridge?
16:30Partridge?
16:36Partridge?
16:36Partridge.
16:52Partridge.
16:53I've done the shop and the butcher's delivery.
16:55Fine.
16:55When's the next bus?
16:56Lemster.
16:58Matriman that's, I'd say.
17:00Right.
17:00Then I must dash.

18:26to be taking you lord didn't i tell you police station
18:30you do see my little worry don't you superintendent i think so however the suicide note was written
18:40by mr simington no doubt about that on just a scrap of paper yes perhaps unusual i would have thought
18:50would you but then suicide isn't exactly usual is it oh indeed not but surely these letters
18:58are usually more formal perhaps in a way a justification of the act certainly not
19:04one sentence i can't go on written on a scrap of paper torn at the edges i begin to feel a bit torn
19:11at the edges myself miss marple oh that's you mr burton you're back hmm is miss joanna around

21:20Right.
21:20How very perceptive of you, Scourge Neda.
21:24Not really.
21:25It was an old book.
21:27And the print...
21:28Reminded you of the first letter that you received.
21:32Miss Barton, eh?
21:33Well, well, well.
21:35Very hard.
21:37And this envelope addressed to Miss Burton.
21:40Well, do forgive me, Superintendent, but have you noticed
21:42the U in Burton has been altered from an A.
21:48Yes.
21:50But who on earth would want to describe Miss Barton as a painted trollop?
21:55Very odd.
21:57Very odd indeed.
21:58We need picking up for me.
22:10Right, shall do.
22:10And come back without that stick.
22:12Okay.

33:24infatuated with Symington she certainly was I've known that for ages but to kill
33:33never couldn't not even a fly
33:36there must be something we can do there's nothing anyone can do at the
33:41moment anyway if there were he'd be doing it I know that the whole place is crawling with
33:47coppers tearing the place apart every draw every cupboard in Errol's bedroom Dave even had the
33:53carpet up now they're turning over the dispensary in the waiting room God knows what they hope to find
33:59oh the inspector say to let you know sir we're taking these away what we're from
34:10uh them books in the bookshelf sir and the dispensary pestle have you no idea what it's used for
34:16I can't rightly say myself sir but the inspector he do say that could be the murder weapon more
34:23likely thank you very much sir
34:30oh dear I'm certain never arrested the wrong person the letter to the governors they saw her typing it
34:38they saw her poor thing what if they did proves nothing and the printed pages with the letters and
34:43the words torn out just behind the desk nothing as well well nothing much I mean after all more dear
34:49she had all those pages why did she type the letter none of the others were only the envelope oh I feel
34:58so frustrated so helpless so slow perhaps I have an idea may I use your telephone of course dear yes
35:13no not yet now first you know everyone round about here I want you to tell me more about the
35:22Symington stepdaughter little Miss Megan you happy Elsie of course why shouldn't I be

36:31to the point young lady very well I saw what you did to my mother's sedative powders in the bedroom that
36:38afternoon I don't know what you mean by that and I didn't hear it but you are of an age now I suppose
36:52you need certain things clothes and all that so
36:59five hundred five thousand
37:22nothing
37:25all right
37:38all right
37:38for the time being
38:13Oh, yes, yes, of course, I do realize, squadron leader, that it is a calculated risk.
38:19You see, my one fear is of being dismissed as a stupid old woman.
38:23In that case, I shall have to rely upon a man with your sort of courage.
38:29Well, I just hope you're right, Miss Marple.
38:32I'll be right over with you.
38:37Ah, you're not finished yet, Rose?
38:38When I'd leave for breakfast, sir, then upstairs with Miss Megan's milk and after bed, quick as a wink.
38:45Nothing he was looking for, sir.
38:47No, no, no, no, just a match.
38:48There's a box over there on the stove, sir.
38:50Good night.
38:51Good night, Rose.
39:08I mean, I don't have you any idea of the position you've put me into.
39:12Should this go wrong, I don't know what they'll do to you.
39:14I know what they'll do to me.
39:16I'll have my guts for gouters.
39:17Oh, do try to forgive me, Superintendent.
39:19My one wish throughout has been to help.
39:22Help?
39:23Yes.
39:24To help you.
39:25I don't know what they'll do to you.
39:55I don't know what they'll do.
39:59You can't talk to me yet.
40:10I don't know.
40:19PIANO PLAYS
40:49PIANO PLAYS
41:19PIANO PLAYS
41:23Gary.
41:26Does here stand there, Johnston?
41:28Yes, sir, thank you.
41:49heart and pulse perfectly normal she'll soon be back with us thank god he didn't give her an
42:08overdose but why he didn't too risky too obvious i have to answer too many questions it was his
42:16sedative wasn't it but a gas stove and a poor girl brooding over the loss of mum just the job
42:22well must be on my skates superintendent may i congratulate you on having had the courage of your
42:30convictions miss marple thanks oh by the way doctor we shall be holding your sister we know that
42:36simington planted those cut-up pages in your waiting room and that last letter ah yes well
42:43silly that silly girl people not infrequently do silly things when they're very much in love don't
42:50they and some very evil things like mr simington still makes the world go around so they tell us
42:57sometimes but why did she ask miss marple usually has the right answers well good day
43:06one moment superintendent well perhaps it was all the chatter the thought that miss holland did
43:18intend to become the second mrs simington and perhaps a letter might scare her away
43:23megan megan darlin
43:28megan darlin
43:32jerry
43:37thank you for all you did my dear you were very brave now take great care of her
43:44is everything all right it is now
43:55ah miss holland you're off i couldn't stay in this house a moment longer it gives me the creeps
44:12and besides they'll all be saying it was my fault and i had no idea no idea at all
44:19when gentlemen of a certain age fall in love they get the disease very badly
44:25well goodbye and good luck thank you
44:31well she'll be all right
44:38oh well doctor as you predicted the patient is once again with us good
44:46oh dear yes dinner tonight please and just with me
44:51if that's what the doctor orders he does
44:54oh my dear you took a terrible risk jane dear oh i had no idea but i just had to
45:01and the superintendent was rather splendid don't you think
45:04ah how is she
45:08all right i think owen's just making sure
45:11what i still don't understand is when all this started
45:15oh ages ago i imagine soon after miss holland arrived
45:18all those anonymous letters typed on that machine of his before giving it away to the women's institute
45:24it was all a smokescreen you see he wanted everybody to suspect a woman and they did
45:29everyone watching the smoke no one seeing the fire
45:32and of course his main purpose was murder
45:37how absolutely cold-blooded
45:40it was he is
45:42my envelope the one with the a turned into a u
45:45ah well that was originally intended for miss barton
45:48but the u wasn't typed on the same machine
45:51now that was a very silly mistake of his and quite unworthy of him
45:54jane dear tragic little beatrice however did she get involved
45:57because he chose to dispose of his wife on an afternoon when he knew
46:01that she'd be quite alone in the house a wednesday
46:04directly after lunch he put cyanide in mrs simington sedative
46:08and then went back to the office
46:10when he returned he went to the nursery
46:12where he was given a cup of tea which he took up to their room
46:15he crumpled a poison pen letter dropped it on the floor
46:18together with the suicide note and then raised the alarm
46:21oh he is of course a consummate actor
46:23but the suicide note i can't go on
46:25it was in her handwriting
46:27yes but suicide notes aren't written on scraps of paper torn from telephone pads are they?
46:32i can't go on what?
46:35i can't go on friday and saturday perhaps
46:38he must have found it thought it might be useful and kept it
46:42i know i'm somewhat slow at this kind of thing jane
46:45but i still don't understand why beatrice
46:47ah beatrice now that was a quarrel you see
46:50what the murderer couldn't know was that beatrice
46:53would quarrel with her boyfriend and then return to the house
46:56where she saw what happened?
46:59she saw absolutely nothing
47:01not only no penitent boyfriend
47:04nothing
47:05nothing dropped through the letterbox
47:07no postman with the anonymous letter said to have been delivered
47:10nothing
47:11later and slowly of course the poor child put things together
47:15and became troubled and was going to see partridge
47:18and that's why she bought it?
47:20how did he manage it?
47:22well again it was a wednesday you see
47:24he pretended to depart for the office but he didn't
47:27he slammed the front door came back into the hall and hid
47:30all the others went off leaving poor little beatrice always the last quite alone
47:35perhaps he rang the front doorbell and she came into the hall to answer it
47:39and was struck down from behind and thrust into a cupboard
47:42no one noticed his late arrival back at the office
47:45and of course partridge never learned what was troubling the poor unfortunate girl
47:49Jane you're quite marvellous
47:52isn't she everyone?
47:53quite
47:54but supposing things had gone wrong
47:56what would have happened to megan then?
47:57now squadron leader
47:59you know better than most
48:00that we are not put into this world to avoid danger
48:03not when an innocent person's life is at stake
48:07all right miss marple
48:08you sold megan the idea
48:10i'll have to go along with that
48:12yes
48:13see you later
48:14oh my dear that brother of yours
48:17lots of courage
48:18they'll make a fine pair of those two
48:20and so will you
48:22with that nice doctor upstairs
48:24now maude do you know what i would really like?
48:27Jane i can't imagine
48:29but you only have to say
48:31well i wonder
48:32dare i ask
48:33would it be possible
48:34for all of us to have a nice cup of tea?
