:05:10
Miss Marple!
This is an unexpected pleasure.

:05:13
Good morning, Inspector.
:05:16
Could I have
a few words with you privately?

:05:18
Yes, of course. Do come in please.
:05:24
Do sit down, Miss Marple, please.
:05:27
Now, you're not here to tell me I've
overlooked another crime, are you?

:05:31
Well, as a matter of fact, I am.
:05:33
A very grave crime, one of murder.
:05:37
Oh, no, not again.
:05:38
This time
there is no mistake, Inspector.

:05:41
Well, let's get it over with.
Who murdered who this time?

:05:45
As to the murderer, that will
naturally require an investigation.

:05:49
The victim is old Mr Enderby.
:05:53
Enderby? He died of heart failure.
:05:56
Ah, but what caused
his heart to fail so unexpectedly?

:06:01
I read the doctor's report,
Miss Marple, it was not unexpected.

:06:05
He had a severe heart condition.
:06:07
Exactly. A very wealthy man
with a chronic heart condition.

:06:12
Yes, the circumstances
are precisely the same.

:06:16
I don't know what they're the same
as, but they don't add up to murder.

:06:20
Surely you have read Agatha
Christie's novel, The Ninth Life?

:06:26
I haven't had the pleasure.
:06:29
That's why you failed
to make the connection.

:06:32
Agatha Christie should be compulsory
reading for the police force.

:06:35
Doom came to her victim
in the shape of a cat.

:06:38
Look, Miss Marple, enough is enough.
:06:40
A wealthy old gentleman
with a weak heart

:06:44
had a pathological horror of cats.
:06:46
What easier than for some interested
party to slip a cat into the house?

:06:50
A cat that the old man
will find unexpectedly.

:06:53
Yes, old Enderby
was frightened to death.

:06:58
A very ingenious theory,
