:33:00
Sergeant, are you sure you didn't
mishear what Miss Marple said?
:33:04
I did not, sir.
:33:06
No, well. Will you come in please,
Miss Marple?
:33:12
Almost a draw, Sergeant.
:33:19
Well, please, sit down.
:33:22
All right, Miss Marple,
let us suppose, just suppose,
:33:27
that Mrs McGinty was blackmailing
one of those actors.
:33:30
Let's say this was the actual
blackmail note she sent.
:33:33
By all means, Inspector.
:33:35
As it was lying beside the whisky
bottle in George's dressing room,
:33:39
she must have sent it to him.
:33:41
That does spring to mind.
:33:43
- So she was blackmailing him.
- It would appear so.
:33:46
If there's anything at all in what
you say, he murdered her.
:33:51
On the face of it, yes.
:33:53
Are we to suppose that in a belated
fit of remorse he poisoned himself?
:33:57
- Perhaps.
- Or did someone else poison him?
:34:02
Again, perhaps.
:34:05
Inspector, may I ask you a question?
:34:08
Please do.
:34:10
If you had simply found that note
in the victim's dressing room
:34:14
and knew no more about it, what would
you have made of the affair?
:34:18
The man was being blackmailed
and had decided to end it all.
:34:23
Yes, that's what I thought.
:34:27
It could be that the note was left on
purpose, so you would think that.
:34:33
Miss Marple, it's been a long day.
What are you suggesting now?
:34:38
I am suggesting that the murderer
of Mrs McGinty
:34:42
and the murderer of George Rowton are
one and the same.
:34:48
As to who murdered George Rowton,
I don't yet know... but I will.
:34:52
As to who murdered Mrs McGinty,
I do know.
:34:55
He is being held in Milchester jail
awaiting a retrial,
:34:58
necessitated by the stubbornness
of a certain member of the jury.
