While Miss Marple and Mr Stringer are soliciting donations for a charity, they visit Mr Enderby, a rich and eccentric recluse. He tumbles down a staircase, apparently the victim of a fatal heart attack.

00:00:00¶¶
00:00:10¶¶
00:02:01I've been known to give anything away, not even to charity.
00:02:04Well, perhaps the poor man's never been given the chance.
00:02:07I really must be getting back to the library, Miss Marple.
00:02:10It's a very worthy cause, no doubt.
00:02:12But my employers...
00:02:13Surely you're entitled to your tea.
00:02:15Yes, but I... I haven't had it.
00:02:18Oh, but you shall.
00:02:20This'll be our last call.
00:02:22After that, you must come back to my cottage.
00:02:24I've prepared a very special tea to reward us for our labor.
00:02:32Perhaps I'd better leave him to you, Miss Marple, if you don't mind.
00:02:35Now, pull yourself together.
00:02:37He can't eat us, can he?
00:02:38No, I suppose not.
00:02:41He must be out.
00:02:43You know he never goes anywhere.
00:02:48Oh.
00:02:49Mr. Enderby?
00:03:00Mr. Enderby?
00:03:03Don't be alarmed, Mr. Enderby.
00:03:14We've just...
00:03:23My goodness.
00:03:24What could have happened?
00:03:33How is he?
00:03:37Dead, I'm afraid.
00:03:44What is it?
00:03:45It's a piece of mud.
00:03:47From some recent visitor, apparently.
00:03:55Who still seems to be here.
00:03:59Stay with him.
00:04:01Miss Marple, you mustn't.
00:04:02Please be careful.
00:04:32Miss Marple, you mustn't.
00:04:35What was it?
00:04:37A cat.
00:04:38But I thought...
00:04:39I thought he hated cats.
00:04:41He did.
00:04:43He was frightened to death, Arthur.
00:04:45Frightened to death?
00:04:46Master's Ž
00:04:54A cat.
00:04:55Checked out.
00:04:57A cat.
00:04:58Che on.
00:04:59A cat.
00:04:59A cat.
00:05:00A cat.
00:05:01A cat.
00:05:01A cat.
00:05:02A cat.
00:05:06A cat.
00:05:07why miss Marple this is an unexpected pleasure. oh good morning inspector.
00:05:13could I have a few words with you privately? well yes of course. do come in please.
00:05:19here. do sit down miss Marple. what can I do for you? you're not here to tell me I've
00:05:28overlooked another crime by any chance? well as a matter of fact I am. a very grave
00:05:33crime. one of murder. oh no not again please. this time there is no mistake
00:05:39inspector. well you might as well get it over with. who murdered who this time? as to the murderer that will
00:05:46naturally require an investigation. the victim is old mr. enderby. enderby? what are you talking about?
00:05:54he died of heart failure. ah but what caused his heart to fail so unexpectedly? I read the doctor's
00:06:01report miss Marple. it was not unexpected. it had a severe heart condition for many years.
00:06:06exactly. a very wealthy man with a chronic heart condition. yes the circumstances are
00:06:14precisely the same. I don't know what they're the same as. but they don't add up to murder.
00:06:20but surely inspector you have read Agatha Christie's remarkable novel the ninth life.
00:06:26I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure. ah that's probably why you failed to make the connection.
00:06:32Agatha Christie should be compulsory reading for the police force. doom came to her victim in the
00:06:39shape of a cat. oh now look miss Marple enough is enough. a wealthy old gentleman with a weak heart
00:06:45and a pathological horror of cats. what easier than for some interested party to slip a cat into the
00:06:51house. a cat that the old man will come upon unexpectedly. yes. old enderby was frightened to death.
00:06:59a very ingenious theory. but my advice to you miss Marple is to read fewer thrillers. a nice love story would be much
00:07:07more soothing. am I to assume that you are not going to do anything about this?
00:07:12nothing whatever. you see I'm a policeman miss Marple. I'm only interested in facts.
00:07:17oh well then there is only one course open to me. now wait a minute miss Marple.
00:07:22no inspector I know my duty. I shall have to investigate this myself.
00:07:27good day. you will hear from me again when my case is completed.
00:07:35good day.
00:07:58they look good.
00:08:03oh dear not one of my failures as you are thinking deliberate I assure you I
00:08:10cooked the piece of mud we found in old enderby's house and then filled the
00:08:16hole with plaster lo and behold preserved in plaster forever see
00:08:26ingenious miss Marple it is rather isn't it now I'm bound to say it went against
00:08:32the grain to overcook my pastry a perfect match but what do you make of this the
00:08:38mark of a stirrup iron then it was mud from a riding boot and from a boot with
00:08:44a very distinctive scar on it that piece of fresh mud was stuck between the sole
00:08:49and heel of someone's riding boot someone who visited mr. enderby just before he
00:08:54died the murderer you mean well we can hardly call him that since it hasn't been
00:08:59officially decided that he was murdered true but when inspector craddock has had
00:09:04time to consider your theory inspector craddock has assured me that that is
00:09:08exactly what he is not going to do no Jim you and I must pursue this trail
00:09:15entirely on our own then where shall we begin we must find out who benefits by the
00:09:22death then we have to wait till the will is published in the newspapers not
00:09:26necessarily not necessarily
00:09:56that's a lot friend right tea's up I'll see you inside right fortune favors the brave I beg your
00:10:09pardon that's dray under the very window
00:10:13this calls for a certain amount of ingenuity we have to get up there what if
00:10:25anyone should see us we are effectively screened from the high street by the archway come along
00:10:30I fear we're taking a grave risk of seeming inquisitive I calculated one mr. stringer on we go I
00:10:53trust something pity will be said after all this and though it is with some
00:11:03regret that I finally satisfied the greed of my relatives I nevertheless do
00:11:09devise and bequeath that my entire estate be divided equally between my
00:11:15fourth cousin George Crossfield in order that he no longer need borrow from his
00:11:20clients funds my niece Rosamund Shane in order that she may support her husband in the style to
00:11:29which he would like to be accustomed to my nephew Hector Enderby in order that he may be able to
00:11:38afford to hunt every day rather than once a week thereby providing more opportunity for breaking his neck
00:11:46and finally my sister Cora Lanskine out of gratitude that she stayed out of the country
00:11:55for 30 years and didn't bother me the money to be given outright to all parties concerned with the
00:12:05hope that it will make them all as miserable as possible that is the important part as far as you're concerned I'm sure no mr.
00:12:13Tundall the important part is how much money am I going to get really George I don't think you should
00:12:18say things like that even if it's how you feel why not I want to know of course we all want to know
00:12:24well a rough estimate mind you very rough each of your shares should be about twenty twenty five thousand pounds
00:12:36Hector I don't think you should have used the word suddenly in the newspaper announcement of your uncle's death
00:12:43what do you mean on Cora well it might make people wonder but anyway it's all been hushed up very nicely
00:12:52hasn't it what are you talking about well after what he said when he came to see me last month
00:12:59it can't do any good making it public it should be kept strictly in the family my dear mrs. Lanskine
00:13:07would you mind saying plainly what you mean by all this but he was murdered wasn't he
00:13:14what
00:13:15here in the young corner this is a very silly thing to say
00:13:45good morning oh good morning inspector thank you miss marvel when I thought it was you I thought no
00:14:07no but it is allow me oh thank you
00:14:16miss marple you do realize if I didn't know you so well I would at this moment be detaining you for
00:14:20loitering with intent loitering with intent to what conceivably inspector to uh snoop snoop
00:14:29that is the word I used miss marple now I'm sure everyone in multis is interested to know how much
00:14:34old ender bid left and to who I suppose you wanted to be first well inspector since you are clearly
00:14:41alleging that I am a tittle-tattling busybody I will bid you good day come mr stringer
00:14:47miss marple don't you think you should go to the police tell inspector craddock what you overheard
00:15:05tittle-tattling busybody I believe were his words oh yours his meaning well perhaps now
00:15:13please mr stringer after this morning I prefer not to mention inspector craddock well anyway no
00:15:19matter what he thinks after what mrs lanskiney said at least we know we were right mr enderby was
00:15:26murdered and we know the motive 25 000 pounds to each of the family yes and it's a great deal of
00:15:34money and since they all benefit they are all suspect true but a motive isn't enough facts are
00:15:41what we want otherwise we're groping in the dark no we must set to work to find out all we can about
00:15:48the entire family mrs hayley brown yes always a good starting place of course I disapprove of her
00:15:56gossiping but in a desperate situation one must use the means at hand oh yes what is more
00:16:03I suggest we start at once oh surely you realize why have you and I ever read a murder thriller that
00:16:12stops at a single killing then you mean yes the killer may strike again I hadn't thought of that
00:16:20perhaps after all the police we will go to the police when our case is complete they have their methods
00:16:26we have ours
00:16:35so
00:16:37so
00:16:39so
00:16:45so
00:16:47so
00:16:49music
00:17:08yes and moreover I'm told that Cora Lanskinet did not return to Milchester just for the funeral.
00:17:15after living in France for a number of years two months ago she rented a cottage a few miles from here.
00:17:22and that's where her brother Mr. Enderby visited her.
00:17:25yes and the vicar maintains that he was a recluse. he hadn't left the country for 30 years.
00:17:31yes I heard that too. and Mrs. Hayley Brown...
00:17:34always a mine of information.
00:17:36says Cora Lanskinet needed that inheritance badly
00:17:39because before he died her husband ran through all her money buying worthless paintings.
00:17:44yes all very useful.
00:17:46but it still doesn't tell us why she thinks her brother was murdered.
00:17:50perhaps she wasn't telling the truth.
00:17:52why should she lie?
00:17:54well she did marry a Frenchman and paint her too.
00:17:57yes a very bad one.
00:17:59still that doesn't make her completely irresponsible.
00:18:02no not completely.
00:18:04you know I think it's time I had my portrait painted.
00:18:08your portrait Miss Marple.
00:18:10yes I'm going to call on Cora Lanskinet.
00:18:12just as an excuse mind you.
00:18:14we must find out what our brother said to her that day.
00:18:17that makes her so sure he was murdered.
00:18:20I'll be back to tea.
00:18:22perhaps you'll be so kind as to get it ready for us.
00:18:50yes you are.
00:18:52yes you are.
00:18:54I'll be back to tea.
00:18:56yes you are.
00:18:58yes
00:19:00yes you are.
00:19:01yes
00:19:06yes you are.
00:19:08yes you are.
00:19:10yes you are.
00:19:12Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:19:42Mrs. Lanskeney, I'm sorry to disturb you.
00:20:00Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:12Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:21Who are you? What are you doing here?
00:20:24Well, I was...
00:20:25What's the matter with Mrs. Lanskeney?
00:20:27I'm afraid she's dead.
00:20:31Yes, but...
00:20:34You killed her. You killed her.
00:20:37My dear woman.
00:20:38Don't you touch me. You killed her. I saw you bending over her.
00:20:41My dear woman, do I look like a murderess?
00:20:43Well, I don't know what you look like, but I saw you.
00:20:46What you saw or didn't see isn't of much point at the moment.
00:20:49We have to call the police. Where's the telephone?
00:20:52There it is.
00:20:54But you haven't yet told me who you are.
00:20:56I'm Mrs. Lanskeney's companion, Miss Millcrest.
00:21:00Hello.
00:21:02Yes, I can hear you're talking, but you'll have to stop talking.
00:21:06Yes, I know it's a party line, but this is an emergency.
00:21:09I have to call the police.
00:21:12You needn't be sarcastic, young man.
00:21:14Indeed, I have a crime to report.
00:21:17Murder. Murder most foul.
00:21:20Murder.
00:21:29Murder, murder.
00:21:30Murder, murder.
00:21:31Murder, murder.
00:21:32Murder, murder, murder.
00:21:33Good afternoon, Inspector.
00:21:35Miss Marple.
00:21:36Yes.
00:21:37I have some tittle-tattle to convey.
00:21:40Do come in.
00:21:41that's about all we need sir fine thanks um let me have a lab report on that as soon as possible
00:21:56will you all right sir funny weapon to use yes a woman's weapon or a man's wishing everyone to
00:22:04think it was a woman's i wasn't precluding that possibility miss marvel the lady says she feels
00:22:11well enough to talk now sir right bring her in well miss marvel i won't keep you any longer it's
00:22:16quite all right inspector i'm entirely at your disposal you don't suspect her do you well she
00:22:21was here the weapon was a hat pin true but would anyone make themselves so obvious a suspect there
00:22:27have been stupid murderers she's a timid woman inspector not a stupid one by the way i think
00:22:36you ought to know that this morning no not now miss marvel please oh miss milkress sit down
00:22:41won't you oh dear i've never had anything to do with the police before there's nothing to worry
00:22:46about my dear they're really very nice well thank you miss marvel now i understand you've been mrs
00:22:52lansquenet's companion for many years now oh yes indeed i know this must be a great shock to you
00:22:57but there are things we need to know well i i'll do my best i'm sure you will now when did you see
00:23:04her last just before i went to the library but what time was that i caught the two o'clock bus
00:23:10and i'd say she's been dead about two hours it's now 4 30 so about 2 30 of course the coroner will
00:23:18be able to be a bit more exact isn't it extremely difficult to determine the exact time of death
00:23:23inspector we'll do our best to be as accurate as possible miss marvel now before you left her
00:23:31did she seem nervous or upset in any way no she was fine she was just getting ready to go out
00:23:36miss milkrest have you any idea at all who may have killed her
00:23:41aside from your suspicions of miss marvel i mean anyone else anyone who hated her
00:23:48oh no she was kind to everyone she was very kind to me she told me she was going to leave me her
00:23:55amethyst brooch and one of her own paintings as a remembrance she painted very well don't you think
00:24:01hmm yes yes indeed miss milkrest did she have any visitors lately no we lived very quietly really
00:24:13but did none of her relatives ever call on her after her return to this country only her brother
00:24:19her her late brother i mean he called about a month ago but in latter years he hardly ever left
00:24:24his home was that for any special reason well yes you see they'd been estranged for a number of years
00:24:30after her husband died she needed help financially she wrote to him were you present when he called
00:24:37oh no did you by any chance overhear anything they said to each other do you suppose i'm the sort of
00:24:44woman who listens at keyholes of course not oh i'm sorry i just wondered if you might have happened to
00:24:50overhear something i didn't hear a thing miss marple i think i'm quite capable of asking any relevant
00:24:55questions so sorry inspector well thank you miss milkrest if um you'd be good enough to make a
00:25:00preliminary statement to sergeant bacon we'll talk again later oh sergeant you better notify the
00:25:04relatives i think the solicitor should have the addresses right sir mrs lanskeney told me they
00:25:10were all staying with mr hector enderby for a few days that's at the gallop atel isn't it yes it is
00:25:15also a riding establishment miss milkrest did you or did mrs lanskeney ever ride ride horses you know
00:25:25no thank you well i won't detain you inspector but i suggest that you pay a call on the family as soon as
00:25:35possible oh you do do you and why well i think you ought to know that at the reading of the will this
00:25:41morning cora lanskeney said that her brother had been murdered what how did you know oh yes of course
00:25:50you happened to overhear didn't you as you say i overheard may i ask why you didn't tell me this
00:25:56before well i did try to tell you earlier but you wouldn't let me oh yes yes of course so i did
00:26:06don't you think it's a trifle coincidental that she should have been murdered so soon after making
00:26:11that statement yes a little too coincidental unless someone in the family thought that cora not only knew
00:26:22her brother had been murdered but who murdered him yes moreover that poor woman is in a very dangerous
00:26:32position miss milkrest yes you see if she did overhear what passed between cora and her brother
00:26:38and the murderer suspected she's likely to receive the same treatment that cora did
00:26:47well i'll have to leave you now i'm afraid inspector to go and pack yes i'm going on a short holiday
00:26:54good day a very good idea miss marvel i hope you have a most enjoyable time
00:27:08good day
00:27:31mr enderby inspector credit this way sir
00:27:38i'll be in touch with you miss marple i'm still not absolutely happy about this
00:27:43i feel if i could be with now mr stringer we have agreed that a non-rider in a place like this would
00:27:48be conspicuous besides the police are here and so purely as a matter of routine you understand i'd like
00:27:55an account of all your individual movements between two o'clock and four o'clock yesterday afternoon
00:27:59surely inspector you're not suggesting it was one of the family that put poor auntie cora down
00:28:03i'm not suggesting anything sir i'm merely making inquiries extremely offensive ones i have to say
00:28:09i'm sorry i find murder offensive too but good heavens man why would any of us do a dreadful thing
00:28:14like that to an old woman well one suggestion that's been put forward is
00:28:17to keep her quiet about what well it seems she made a statement yesterday morning
00:28:25a statement to the effect that your uncle mr enderby was murdered
00:28:29how on earth did you find that out i think that's irrelevant don't you sir
00:28:34i take it no one is denying mrs lance grenade did say it very well then there's one motive there could be others
00:28:47may i start with you mr shea yes all right but i'm afraid i can't give you an alibi if that's what
00:28:53you're looking for yesterday well i was out riding all afternoon alone sir quite alone where well i'm
00:29:02afraid i'm not familiar enough with the neighborhood to tell you but you were familiar enough with it to
00:29:06find your way back the horse did and did you meet anyone when you were not riding no i'm afraid not
00:29:13i wish i had yeah so do i now what about you mr crossfield well i was out riding too as a matter of
00:29:21fact i see i didn't meet anyone either very well then and i suppose you were out riding too mr
00:29:28enderby no i was in here all the afternoon were you hector i tried the door once and it was locked
00:29:34i thought you were out i locked the door i didn't want to be disturbed and what were you doing
00:29:41i was doing my accounts i see very well and you mr shane we all seem to have pretty feeble alibis
00:29:51i was in my room too all afternoon yes except when i went to look for hector i was reading did any of
00:30:00the staff see you when you came here looking for mr enderby no i must say inspector it is unusual for
00:30:07an english woman to prefer reading when she could be riding but it is possible i didn't say it wasn't
00:30:14well then i hope you're satisfied i'm far from satisfied mr enderby but we'll leave it for the
00:30:18moment i'd appreciate it if you all make detailed statements to sergeant bacon and keep yourselves
00:30:23available i'll be with the chief constable for the next hour or so if you want me yes sir just one
00:30:28moment inspector does that mean that you want us all to stay here i'm afraid so mr crossfield at
00:30:33least until after the inquest but i have to go up north tomorrow i'm sorry that isn't possible
00:30:39it's an important sale inspector lord fatherway's picture collection every dealer in the country will
00:30:44be there and i have a client for the gainsborough you also have a partner i understand does that
00:30:51mean that you've been checking up on me merely routine mr crossfield but your partner can handle
00:30:55the sale can't yes but that's fine good day now sir perhaps i can deal with you first
00:31:03inspector there's something i want to tell you yes well ask you really i'm trying to run a business

00:47:47Right, sir.
00:47:48Oh, are you going out, Miss Marple?
00:47:50I always take a constitutional before retiring, Mr. Enderby.

00:50:34Let's go.
00:50:36Let's go.
00:50:38Let's go.
00:50:40Let's go.
00:50:42Let's go.
00:50:44Let's go.
00:50:46Let's go.
00:50:48Let's go.
00:50:50Let's go.
00:50:52Let's go.

00:51:26Let's go.
00:51:28Let's go.
00:51:29Let's go.
00:51:30Let's go.
00:51:31Let's go.
00:51:32Let's go.
00:51:33I'm not quarrelling, darling.
00:51:34Look, that picture wouldn't fetch two pounds at an auction.
00:51:36Are you sure, George?
00:51:38You're an art dealer.
00:51:39Maybe it is valuable and you're the only one who knows it.
00:51:42It's not valuable.
00:51:44It just happens to appeal to me, that's all.
00:51:46George, I think as Rosamund feels so strongly about this picture, you'd better let her have it.
00:51:50After all, ladies first and all that sort of thing.
00:51:53Not in my book.
00:51:54Well, it is in mine.
00:51:55Why don't you toss up for it?
00:51:57None of you seem to understand.
00:51:59I want it.
00:52:00But that doesn't mean that you're going to get it.
00:52:02Oh, but it does.
00:52:03Now, you'll listen to me, Rosamund.
00:52:04Now, stop it, both of you.
00:52:05I've had all the unpleasantness that I can take around here.
00:52:08Well, Hector.
00:52:09I mean it, Rosamund.
00:52:10Yes, Hector, you may mean it, but...
00:52:12Don't bother.
00:52:13The matter's settled.
00:52:14This is my house.
00:52:15I make the rules around here.
00:52:17It's marvellous what a little security does for some people, isn't it?
00:52:20I don't find that remark very amusing.
00:52:22I didn't mean it to be amusing.
00:52:24Anyway, I'm glad it's all settled.
00:52:26Thank you, George.
00:52:27It's not settled as far as I'm concerned.
00:52:30Oh, but it is, George.
00:52:32I think you misunderstood, Rosamund.
00:52:34It's settled because I'm keeping it.
00:52:39Oh, not in bed yet, Miss Marple.
00:52:42I'm just choosing something to read before a time.
00:52:45Good night.
00:52:46Good night.
00:52:47Good night.
00:52:48Good night.
00:52:49Good night.
00:52:50Good night.
00:52:52Good night.
00:52:53If you're looking for Miss Marple, she's downstairs in the lounge.
00:53:17Oh.
00:53:18I'm sorry to have startled you.
00:53:20Oh, that's all right.
00:53:22I'm still a little nervous, I suppose.
00:53:23Yes.
00:53:24Well, under the circumstances, I'm not surprised.
00:53:27What do you mean?
00:53:28Well, if I was the murderer, I'd be very worried in case you had heard what old Enderby said to Cora when he called on her.
00:53:34But I didn't.
00:53:35Well, personally, I don't blame you for forgetting it.
00:53:38The murderer would hardly leave you running around, now would he?
00:53:41Oh.
00:53:42Oh, I must...
00:53:43Go.
00:53:45Yes.
00:53:45So must I.
00:53:46Good night.
00:53:49Oh.
00:53:49Is anything wrong, Miss Miltrest?
00:53:53Yes.
00:53:54I...
00:53:55Could I speak to you, please?
00:53:56Alone?
00:53:57Of course.
00:53:57Won't you come to my room?
00:54:03I hope this means that you no longer think I'm a murderess.
00:54:07Please forgive me for that.
00:54:08It was stupid of me.
00:54:09Not at all.
00:54:10A natural conclusion when you found me standing over the body.
00:54:14Won't you sit down?
00:54:17There was something you wanted to say to me.
00:54:19Oh, Miss Marple.
00:54:21I did overhear Cora.
00:54:23I mean, Mrs. Lanskeney and her brother that day.
00:54:25Yes, I thought so.
00:54:26Of course, I wasn't deliberately eavesdropping.
00:54:28Naturally not.
00:54:29What did you hear?
00:54:30Only bits and pieces, really.
00:54:32But enough to realize he was afraid that someone in the family was going to kill him.
00:54:38Which one of them?
00:54:39I don't know.
00:54:40He kept sort of hinting as though he hated to say the word.
00:54:43Well, understandable.
00:54:46Miss Miltrest.
00:54:48Have you told this to anyone else?
00:54:49Oh, no.
00:54:51Because when he died so soon afterwards, I began to wonder.
00:54:55And then Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:54:58Oh, Miss Marple, I'm afraid.
00:55:00I'm terribly afraid.
00:55:02Yes, I think you have reason to be.
00:55:04They've all asked me, every single one of them.
00:55:07And they look at me as if they don't believe me.
00:55:10I'm afraid you're not a very good liar, Miss Miltrest.
00:55:14Now, we must tell this to Inspector Craddock and to no one else.
00:55:18And the sooner the better.
00:55:19Yes.
00:55:20Don't let it worry you anymore.
00:55:23Go to your room and leave the rest to me.
00:55:26Yes, thank you very much.
00:55:48Thank you very much.
00:56:48Is that you, Inspector? This marble here?
00:56:54Please forgive the lateness of the hour.
00:56:57But as it happens, I have the evidence I've been looking for.
00:57:01I know who the captain is.
00:57:04I know who the captain is.
00:57:07I know who the captain is.
00:57:10I know who the captain is.
00:57:13I know who the captain is.
00:57:15I know who the captain is.
00:57:17I know who the captain is.
00:57:47I know who the captain is.
00:57:50I know who the captain is.
00:57:52I know who the captain is.
00:57:57I hardly think you're in a position to practice me.
00:58:07I'm in a certain sense.
00:58:09And you surely don't think it will stop me anyway, do you?
00:58:12Nothing more to say.
00:58:14Good.
00:58:16Then listen.
00:58:18Yes, I went to see the old man on the day that he was killed.
00:58:21We all of us went there at one time or another,
00:58:23and all for the same reason, to get money out of him.
00:58:28But you were worse than any of us.
00:58:30You were greedy enough to kill for it.
00:58:33Oh, and not just for a quarter of the estate,
00:58:36but for a real sum of money.
00:58:39That picture is worth a fortune.
00:58:43Ironic, isn't it,
00:58:44to think that he must have picked it up 30 years ago into Paris for a song.
00:58:50Now, I know what that picture is worth.
00:58:52And I want it.
00:58:56If you don't tell me where it is,
00:58:59you know what's going to happen.
00:59:02So where is it?
00:59:04What are you doing?
00:59:06Let me go.
00:59:07You're hurting me.
00:59:08Snoopy, I'm trying, you old busybody.
00:59:10You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:59:11I don't dare you.
00:59:13I shall report you to your employer first thing in the morning.
00:59:16I want to go.
01:00:06Hey, who's there?
01:00:24Open up!
01:00:32Help!
01:00:33Get out!
01:00:34Get out of here!
01:00:36Get out!
01:00:38Help!
01:00:40Help!
01:00:42Stop that infernal round! Turn the engine off!
01:00:52Come on, Blackjack.
01:00:54Steady. Steady.
01:00:56Steady.
01:00:58What on earth's going on here? What's happened? What's the matter with Blackjack?
01:01:04Blackjack's all right, sir.
01:01:05Oh?
01:01:06He's all right.
01:01:07But there was someone in there.
01:01:08What?
01:01:09There was someone in there.
01:01:11Who?
01:01:13Mr. Crossfield, sir.
01:01:16He's dead.
01:01:26And where were you, sir?
01:01:27I was upstairs in my room.
01:01:29And you, madam?
01:01:32I was fast asleep, Inspector.
01:01:38So you were all in your rooms.
01:01:44And one of you wasn't.
01:02:01Whoever locked that stable door and turned that motor on is a murderer.
01:02:05That is the situation.
01:02:06And until I get to the bottom of it, none of you is to leave the premises.
01:02:09That'll be quite impossible, Inspector.
01:02:12I'm afraid I must insist.
01:02:14My men will be here to see those orders are carried out.
01:02:16Are you trying to ruin me?
01:02:18I can't have peace.
01:02:19You can and you will, Mr. Enderby.
01:02:20But good heavens, tonight is our annual dance.
01:02:23Tonight?
01:02:25You're having a dance here?
01:02:26Well, it may sound rather unfeeling to hold a dance under the circumstances,
01:02:29but I'm running a business here.
01:02:31I've lost enough guests already.
01:02:34All right, you can have your dance.
01:02:36But nothing else changes.
01:02:37That's all for the moment.
01:02:39Can I get back to work now, sir?
01:02:41There's a lot to do for tonight.
01:02:42I suppose that's permissible.
01:02:44Of course.
01:02:45Does that mean we can all go?
01:02:48As long as you don't leave the grounds.
01:02:50Oh, Inspector, I wonder if I might go up to London this afternoon.
01:02:53I haven't...
01:02:54No, Mr. Shane, I'm sorry, but no one leaves.
01:02:56That's all, Mr. Shane.
01:02:58Oh, Miss Marple.
01:02:59Yes, Inspector.
01:03:00Can I have a word with you?
01:03:01I have something rather important to say.
01:03:03Oh, yes.
01:03:09About that call last night.
01:03:11That, yes.
01:03:13You had the evidence and the murderer, I believe you said.
01:03:16Well, I'm afraid I was a little premature there.
01:03:18Were you?
01:03:19Who do you think it was?
01:03:20Crossfield?
01:03:21As a matter of fact, I did.
01:03:23But only briefly, Inspector.
01:03:25Very briefly.
01:03:26Now I really know.
01:03:28Oh, yes.
01:03:29Yes, I'm sure you do.
01:03:30But I do.
01:03:31Only before I can be quite sure, I need the expert opinion of an art dealer.
01:03:36An art dealer?
01:03:37That's what I said, Inspector.
01:03:39However, I'll take care of that.
01:03:41But I need your help.
01:03:42Ah, there is, Mr. Stringer.
01:03:44If you'll excuse me, I'll be with you in a moment.
01:03:47I'm sending him to London on an important mission.
01:03:53And when he returns tonight, he will have certain information that I need.
01:03:58After that, we can force the killer out into the open.
01:04:02Oh, we can, can we?
01:04:04Yes, I guarantee it.
01:04:06How much do you know about first aid, Inspector?
01:04:09First aid?
01:04:10Now, what does that to do with it?
01:04:11Well, I'm planning to have a heart attack at the dance tonight.
01:04:14And I shall be much obliged if you will pretend to take care of me.
01:04:18If you think for one moment...
01:04:19But later I have the doctor confirm the diagnosis.
01:04:22Just like that.
01:04:23Now, may I ask what you're proposing to do then?
01:04:25I am proposing to allow myself to be frightened to death.
01:04:29Good day, Inspector.
01:04:31Come, Mr. Stringer. Let's go up to my room.
01:04:34It's easier to talk there.
01:04:39You know, I'm not entirely sure about that woman.
01:04:41George thought she was working for the police.
01:04:43And I think so, too.
01:04:44What nonsense.
01:04:45She's a lady.
01:04:46Besides, she's a great horsewoman.
01:04:47One doesn't necessarily preclude the other, does it, Hector?
01:04:50I've never heard of a mounted policewoman.
01:04:52You know her well.
01:04:54Is she working for the police?
01:04:56Oh, no.
01:04:58At least, I don't think so.
01:05:00I believe she knows the inspector personally.
01:05:03What does it matter, darling?
01:05:05You sound like a man with a guilty conscience.
01:05:07My conscience is perfectly clear, thank you.
01:05:09In that case, you have nothing to worry about.
01:05:11Hector, now I can have the picture, can't I?
01:05:14No.
01:05:15Nobody else wanted it but George.
01:05:18And he's dead.
01:05:19I've told you why.
01:05:20I'm keeping it myself.
01:05:26Now, you are pleased to take this to London, to the odd dealers.
01:05:30They will appraise it and get it back here as quickly as you can.
01:05:33All right, if it'll help.
01:05:34Well, I'm hopeful it will not only help but clinch the whole matter, so to speak.
01:05:38That means you've made real progress.
01:05:40Yes, we are near the end.
01:05:41Very near.
01:05:42You know who did it?
01:05:43I think so.
01:05:44Oh, good.
01:05:45Who?
01:05:46I can't tell you that at present.
01:05:47Oh, Miss Marple, please be careful.
01:05:49Of course I'll be careful.
01:05:50And you see, you don't get yourself arrested.
01:05:52That's stolen property.
01:05:54Stolen property?
01:05:55Oh, Mr. Enderby, you quite startled me.
01:06:02Won't you come in?
01:06:04I'm so sorry.
01:06:05I was just going to knock.
01:06:06Of course.
01:06:07You know Mr. Stringer?
01:06:08I don't think I've had the pleasure.
01:06:09Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:06:10Mr. Enderby and Mr. Stringer.
01:06:11Always delighted to meet any friend of Miss Marple's.
01:06:14How do you do?
01:06:15How do you do?
01:06:17Well, goodbye.
01:06:19You're not leaving on my account, I hope.
01:06:21No, no, no.
01:06:22An errand in London, you know.
01:06:24What a shame.
01:06:25I was hoping you'd be able to stay for our little dance.
01:06:26Now, isn't that a good idea?
01:06:28And you are so fond of dancing.
01:06:29I am.
01:06:30Well, you know you are.
01:06:31Why don't you return here after going to London?
01:06:34Yes, yes.
01:06:35Perhaps I could do that.
01:06:36Capital, capital.
01:06:37Perhaps you'd like to leave your parcel.
01:06:39Oh, he'd never be parted from that.
01:06:40Would you, Mr. Stringer?
01:06:41No, no, no.
01:06:42Don't you think it's time you got started?
01:06:44The sooner you go, the sooner you'll get back.
01:06:46True, true.
01:06:47Well, it's been very nice to meet you, Mr. Enderby.
01:06:49Pleasure was mine.
01:06:54What a charming man.
01:06:55Is he by any chance in the same line as my cousin George was?
01:06:59And what line would that be?
01:07:01He's an art dealer.
01:07:02Oh.
01:07:03What can you put that into your head?
01:07:05Well, I'm not sure, really.
01:07:06Perhaps it was the parcel he was carrying.
01:07:08Rather suggested a picture.
01:07:10Oh, no.
01:07:11Mr. Stringer is custodian of the local library.
01:07:14Do you know anything about pictures, Miss Marple?
01:07:17Well, just a little.
01:07:18I can't tell a good one from a bad one myself.
01:07:21I'd rather value your opinion on some my uncle left me.
01:07:24My knowledge of pictures is rather limited.
01:07:26But surely just an opinion.
01:07:28Well, you're welcome to that.
01:07:30But that's some other time.
01:07:32This afternoon, I'm afraid I really want to rest.
01:07:34I'm not feeling very well.
01:07:36Oh, dear.
01:07:37And here am I making a nuisance of myself.
01:07:39Not at all.
01:07:40You must rest.
01:07:41Must have you fit for the dance tonight.
01:07:43I'm looking forward to a whirl or two with you.
01:08:04You danced beautifully, Miss Marple.
01:08:06Why, thank you, Mr. Enderby.
01:08:08So do you.
01:08:09Well, my foot holds me back a bit, you know.
01:08:11But I manage.
01:08:12I manage.
01:08:13Indeed, you do.
01:08:14I hope you don't misunderstand about the dogs.
01:08:16It's not that I'm unfeeling about George.
01:08:18But we always have it.
01:08:20Naturally.
01:08:21You have to consider your guests.
01:08:23If you've got another whirl.
01:08:24Of course, Mr. Enderby.
01:08:25I think, nurse, we'd better sit this one out.
01:08:26Oh, dear.
01:08:27Dreadful, not dancing at all.
01:08:28Well, I must be tolerant of the yarn, Mr. Enderby.
01:08:29I remember my dear mama was quite horrified when she caught me doing the Charleston.
01:08:36I guess we'd better sit this one out.
01:08:38Dreadful not dancing at all.
01:08:40Well, I must be tolerant of the yarn, Mr. Stringer.
01:08:44I remember my dear Mama was quite horrified
01:08:47when she caught me doing the Charleston in public.
01:08:50But the Charleston was quite different.
01:08:52Besides, I'm sure you danced in beauty.
01:08:55Ah, there's Mr. Stringer.
01:08:57As it happens, this is his favorite dance.
01:09:00Mr. Stringer.
01:09:01Mrs. Ma, I found out...
01:09:03I was just telling Mr. Lenderby that this is your favorite dance.
01:09:05Shall we?
01:09:06Dance, you mean?
01:09:07Naturally.
01:09:08You'll excuse us, won't you, Mr. Lenderby?
01:09:10Come on.
01:09:12Well, Miss Marple, I don't think I...
01:09:14Do your best.
01:09:15This is the only way I could get you alone.
01:09:27What did you find out?
01:09:29You were quite right, Miss Marple.
01:09:31It's worth at least 50,000 pounds.
01:09:33I knew it.
01:09:34Then it was that picture, after all.
01:09:36It certainly was.
01:09:37Excellent.
01:09:38We can now proceed with certainty.
01:09:40Proceed where, Miss Marple?
01:09:42To trap the killer.
01:09:44There was Inspector Craddock in the foyer as you came through.
01:09:48Yes.
01:09:50I think perhaps a little nightmare.
01:09:53And don't be alarmed if I suddenly pretend to be ill.
01:09:56No, no.
01:09:57I'll sit up.
01:09:58I'll sit up.
01:09:59I'll sit up.
01:10:00No, no.
01:10:01No, no.
01:10:02No, no.
01:10:03It's going to be a trap.
01:10:04I'll sit down.
01:10:05I'll get you to a chair.
01:10:30It should be quite all right, Brian.
01:10:33No need to fuss.
01:10:34There's every need.
01:10:35The doctor warned you, Miss Marple, after that last heart attack.
01:10:37Did he?
01:10:40I think if I could just lie down.
01:10:42Well, wouldn't I to get a doctor?
01:10:43We'll get the police doctor. It'll be quicker.
01:10:45Bacon.
01:10:46Yes, ma'am.
01:10:47She's got to lie down immediately.
01:10:50Where's her room?
01:10:50Well, upstairs at the end of the passage.
01:10:52Obviously, she can't manage any stairs.
01:10:54Isn't there a room on this floor she could use for tonight?
01:10:56Well, there's a small back room, but she'd be all alone there.
01:10:59Good. That's just what she needs. Complete rest and quiet.
01:11:02Miss Marple, do you think if we helped you?
01:11:05Yes, perhaps.
01:11:05There we are.
01:11:06Easy.
01:11:08Oh, I am so sorry to give you all this trouble, Mr. Enderby.
01:11:11Don't be foolish, dear lady. It's no trouble.
01:11:13It's just we're rather worried about you.
01:11:15Oh, I'll be fine. Fine.
01:11:28Mr. Stringer, won't you sit down?
01:11:30She'll be all right. I'm sure she will.
01:11:32How is she?
01:11:40Not very good, I'm afraid.
01:11:41She'll be all right, won't she?
01:11:43Doctor, could I see her?
01:11:44I'm afraid not, Mr. Stringer. She mustn't be disturbed.
01:11:47I won't even rest moving her to the hospital until the morning.
01:11:50You haven't answered my question. Will she be all right?
01:11:54I hope so, but it's a pretty severe attack.
01:11:56Now, will you see she's not disturbed by anything?
01:11:58Of course. If I could just speak to her for a minute, Doctor, before we go.
01:12:01Absolutely not, Inspector. She's to have complete rest and quiet.
01:12:04Well, I won't disturb her, but there was something she wanted to tell me about a painting.
01:12:07She can tell you in the morning, possibly, if she's any better.
01:12:11Doctor, I'm afraid I've got to insist.
01:12:12You can insist all you like, but for the moment she's my patient and no one goes near her.
01:12:18Any disturbance of any kind would probably be fatal.
01:12:23Now, I suggest you all get to bed. Try and get some sleep. Good night.
01:12:26Good night.
01:12:38Good night.
01:12:52Miss Marple, are you awake?
01:13:22Oh.
01:13:52Let's go.
01:14:22Let's go.
01:14:52Wake up. Wake up!
01:14:58It's me, Cora. I've come back.
01:15:01Yes, Cora. I've been waiting for you.
01:15:06You've come for your picture, haven't you?
01:15:08Yes, you stole it.
01:15:10Only borrowed it, my dear.
01:15:13I have it right here.
01:15:16Allow me to return it to you.
01:15:18Miss Millcrest.
01:15:24Then you're not ill.
01:15:26I never felt better in my life.
01:15:29There's nothing the matter with your heart.
01:15:30But I should have guessed it was a trick.
01:15:38Foolish of me.
01:15:44How did you know?
01:15:45I've seen you before.
01:15:47At the reading of the will.
01:15:49By impersonating Cora.
01:15:51You were able to plant the suspicion that old Enderby had been murdered.
01:15:55So that when you killed Cora,
01:15:57it would look as if someone in the family did it to keep her quiet.
01:16:00I fooled them all.
01:16:03Not one of them dreamed I wasn't, Cora.
01:16:05So then you had to kill George Crossfield, too.
01:16:09It was clever of me, wasn't it?
01:16:11And all this for nothing.
01:16:14No, not all for nothing, Miss Marple.
01:16:20Because you're the only one left who knows.
01:16:26Not so clever after all, are you, Miss Marple?
01:16:30Nor was Cora.
01:16:32The fool.
01:16:33The picture is worth a fortune and she didn't even know it.
01:16:37She was so stupid.
01:16:38She said I could have it when she died.
01:16:40Because I admired it one day.
01:16:42You won't get away with it this time.
01:16:44Oh, yes.
01:16:46A few minutes from now and I shall be harmless, Miss Milchrist.
01:16:49Let's go! Let's go!
01:16:51Milchrist!
01:16:53Don't be so touching.
01:16:55Please don't touch me.
01:16:56All right, Bacon.
01:16:57Hello.
01:16:59For goodness sake, Miss Marple, why didn't you ring?
01:17:02The law may have a long arm, Inspector.
01:17:05Unfortunately, I haven't.
01:17:09And now, if you'll forgive me,
01:17:11I must catch up on a little sleep.
01:17:23Come in.
01:17:28You asked to see me before I left, Mr. Landerby.
01:17:31Oh, yes, indeed, Miss Marple.
01:17:33Yes. Yes, indeed.
01:17:36May I help you with that?
01:17:38Oh, that is good of you.
01:17:39I do.
01:17:41There we are.
01:17:42May I?
01:17:43Oh, please do.
01:17:46Ow!
01:17:48Is this wise, Mr. Landerby?
01:17:50Oh, yes.
01:17:51It's the hunt today, you know.
01:17:52It's the fidget hunt.
01:17:55Mr. Landerby, you did want to see me.
01:17:58Yes.
01:17:59That's true, Miss Marple.
01:18:00That's true.
01:18:01Well?
01:18:01Do you know that every chair in this room
01:18:06is stuffed with the hair of the horses that I've loved?
01:18:11And I think I may say have loved me.
01:18:14Well.
01:18:15Human beings, you know, I've never got on so well with human beings.
01:18:18Well, of course, they're all right when they're up,
01:18:20but when they're down, only two legs, you know.
01:18:24So I think I follow you, Mr. Landerby.
01:18:26I knew you would.
01:18:27We're alike.
01:18:28Alike.
01:18:29Well, I mean, you're a lady in retirement.
01:18:32A single lady, living alone.
01:18:35Well, I think you know what I'm trying to say.
01:18:39Are you by any chance proposing to me, Mr. Landerby?
01:18:44That's right.
01:18:45I'm proposing that you should keep your saddle here permanently.
01:18:49This is where it belongs.
01:18:50Oh, I'm afraid.
01:18:52Oh, it would be a working arrangement, of course.
01:18:54You run the hotel, and I'll run the stable.
01:18:59Well.
01:19:01You run the stable, and I'll run the hotel.
01:19:04I'm extremely flattered, Mr. Landerby.
01:19:07Well.
01:19:08But I'm afraid I must say no.
01:19:12No?
01:19:13You see, I have so many other interests to occupy my time.
01:19:18One, indeed, presses now.
01:19:20The next production of the church hall, a murder mystery, you know.
01:19:23I do hope you'll come.
01:19:26I don't think I'd care for it.
01:19:28Oh, what a pity.
01:19:31Well, goodbye.
01:19:33Goodbye.
01:19:36Miss Barthol.
01:19:37Yes?
01:19:38I would deem it an honor if you'd at least stay the day
01:19:41and be my guest at the hunt.
01:19:43I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby,
01:19:45but I disapprove of blood sports.
01:19:48That was a very narrow escape.
01:19:55I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:19:56I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:19:57I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:19:58I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:19:59I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:00I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:01I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:02I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:03I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:04I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:05I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:06I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:07I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:08I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:09I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:10I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
01:20:11I'm very sorry, Mr. Landerby.
