:39:00
I always travel with
my own maid, monsieur.
:39:01
Now you must solve the mystery.
:39:04
There was no need to speak
with Mrs. Armstrong's.
:39:04
When we get to Brod, if we ever do,
:39:07
we present the police with
a fait accompli.
:39:08
Evasion. I asked for particulars
of the manservant.
:39:10
We say that a murder has occurred.
There is the criminal.
:39:11
He was, I think, the colonel's Indian,
how you would say, orderly.
:39:15
I should like
the Pullman coach reserved
:39:16
Inaccuracy.
:39:17
for the investigation's headquarters.
:39:18
Colonel Armstrong was an officer
of the British army in India.
:39:19
It will be at your disposal.
:39:21
He would have had a British
batman, like Private Beddoes,
:39:21
And a plan of the Calais coach
with the names and locations
:39:24
- of all the people in it.
- Yes, it will be there.
:39:25
And the passports of all
the passengers concerned.
:39:26
to serve his personal needs.
:39:27
Yes, you can even have mine.
:39:29
Only officers of the Indian army,
:39:29
I go to make a special
announcement now. Grazie.
:39:31
like Colonel Arbuthnott,
have Indian orderlies.
:39:32
Bring all the passports
to Monsieur Poirot.
:39:33
I asked her the name of
Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister.
:39:34
Are there any other
passengers on the train?
:39:36
I do not recall her name.
:39:36
In the Pullman coach,
nobody but myself and Mr. Bianchi.
:39:38
Unbelievable evasion.
:39:40
I asked her the name
of Mrs. Armstrong's secretary.
:39:43
Yes, a Miss Freebody.
:39:46
Non, c'est impossible ça.
:39:48
Alors.
:39:49
The princess, it seems,
is playing the psychological game
:39:49
Then we must concentrate
on the Calais coach.
:39:52
Where, in my amateur opinion,
the murderer is with us now.
:39:52
of word association.
:39:55
Freebody is the name
of the junior partner
:39:58
of one of London's most famous
and most opulent ladies' stores
:40:00
Ladies and gentlemen.
Please, please, patience.
:40:02
of the sort perhaps patronized
by the princess herself.
:40:04
You must have patience.
Now, you will all get the chance
:40:06
The name of the senior partner
is Debenham.
:40:06
to state your views to Monsieur Poirot
at his own good time.
:40:09
- Now, please...
- It is not good time. It is bad time.
:40:10
Debenham and Freebody.
:40:13
God's laws have been bust,
thou shalt not kill.
:40:14
Was the princess covering
up for our Miss Debenham,
:40:16
And why was I not notified at once,
Signor... Mr. Bianchi?
:40:17
who taught shorthand
in Baghdad?
:40:20
- I was his nearest associate.
- And I was nearest to his murderer.
:40:21
Can she tell us the name
of Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister?
:40:25
Then I will tell you her
Christian and her maiden name.
:40:26
You mean you saw the man?
You can identify the murderer?
:40:29
I mean nothing of the kind.
:40:30
When I asked the Princess
Dragomiroff if she could tell me
:40:31
I mean there was a man
in my compartment last night.
:40:34
the maiden name of her
goddaughter, Mrs. Armstrong,
:40:34
It was pitch-dark, of course,
and my eyes were closed in terror.
:40:37
Then how did you know it was a man?
:40:38
she could not possibly,
as a godmother,
:40:39
Because I've enjoyed very warm
relationships with both my husbands.
:40:40
plead ignorance of this.
She replied...
:40:42
Greenwood.
:40:43
- With your eyes closed?
- That helped.
:40:45
Grunwald is the German
for Greenwood.
:40:47
- Excuse me.
- Anyway, the man smelt of tobacco.
:40:49
Mr. McQueen,
Monsieur Poirot would be grateful
:40:50
The princess's hesitation
persuades me
:40:51
for a few minutes of your time.
:40:53
that Grunwald was
the true maiden name
:40:55
- Excuse me.
- Don't you agree the man
:40:55
of her goddaughter,
Mrs. Armstrong.
:40:57
must've entered my compartment
to gain access to Mr. Ratchett?
:40:58
And that the Countess Andrenyi
:40:59
I can think of no other reason,
madame.
