1:20:04
The murder of the Armstrong child.
1:20:08
The death of Mrs. Armstrong,
1:20:11
while giving premature birth
to a stillborn baby.
1:20:16
And the ultimate suicide
of Colonel Armstrong,
1:20:19
in the face of multiple
and intolerable bereavements!
1:20:23
I would have understood his action
1:20:25
if, in addition to the D.S.O. And M.C.,
he had been awarded the V.C.
1:20:31
Which stands, as you may know,
for Victoria Cross
1:20:34
and is awarded for valor.
1:20:37
Then, in my opinion,
1:20:40
Ratchett deserved what he got.
1:20:42
Though I'd sooner have seen him
properly tried by jury.
1:20:46
Trial by 12 good men and true
is a sound system.
1:20:55
We believe the murder
was committed at 1:15.
1:20:59
What were you doing then?
1:21:02
I was yarning with young...
What's his name?
1:21:04
McQueen, in his compartment.
1:21:06
He was interested in the future
of India, a bit impractical.
1:21:10
He thought the British
ought to move out.
1:21:12
How long did you stay yarning
after that?
1:21:16
Till 1:30. It's...
1:21:20
It's what I call a three-pipe yarn.
1:21:23
Colonel Arbuthnott, you are the only
passenger in the Calais coach
1:21:27
who smokes a "pipe".
1:21:31
- So it would appear.
- Then this...
1:21:34
...must be your "pipe" cleaner.
1:21:39
- It's the same brand.
- It was found in an ashtray
1:21:41
by the dead man's bedside.
1:21:43
Then someone planted it there.
It's a used "pipe" cleaner.
1:21:48
Or are you suggesting
that I'm fool enough
1:21:51
to have entered Ratchett's cabin,
murdered him,
1:21:53
cleaned my "pipe" and dropped it
in the ashtray before leaving?
1:21:57
No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
