And Then There Were None Page #4

after having been a judge.

Rogers, I'd like to

ask you a few questions.

Did you ...

-... prepare a nice dinner?

- Oh, just cold meat, sir.

I see now. I show you

do your bed.

Is there plenty of food

for the weekend?

Yes, sir. Everything

were provided for.

Mr. Blore, may I

ask you a question?

Of course, of course, my dear fellow.

How many will you be

for dinner tonight?

Oh, I see what you mean.

Do not forget your vote,

Rogers.

In a case like this,

the secret vote ...

... is the only way to being

out into the open what we are thinking.

No, no, no, never touch it, no.

But under the circumstances...

Well, who do we suspect

is Mr. Owen?

Mr. Lombard, one vote.

Mr. Blore, one vote.

Dr. Armstrong, one vote.

Rogers, one vote.

Miss. Brent, one vote.

I see I haven't been neglected:

One vote.

Another vote for you.

Rogers. You win.

Do you mean, sir,

I am being accused?

Well, It is not absolute majority,

but you have more votes.

They are saying this because

I'm only a butler.

You said I didn't

have the brain to do it.

- I didn't vote for you, Rogers.

-- Who did it then?

Who didn't drink the cocktail

you just served?

You think I poisoned

those cocktails?

I will show you, sir!

Picking on

an innocent man!

I can even gulp all the alcohol!

And if that is what

you think of me, ...

... I'm not going to serve any dinner.

Rogers, come back here!

You can not do that!

Don't look so offended,

Rogers.

If it had been

anybody but you, Sir. ...

I'm sorry, Rogers. -- But

how do I know that you did't vote for me?

I did not, your honour.

I voted for ... well ...

Time will tell.

After all, Rogers,

nobody in this house ...

... is above suspicion.

Never in my life have I been accused

of any crime, sir.

What about that gramophone record?

What about it?

That woman you

worked for ...

... she left you some

money, didn't she?

Let's not stand on

our dignity, Rogers.

After all,

she was sick.

Didn't you shortened her

suffering in this world?

With the complicity, of course,

of the poor Mrs. Rogers?

I'm not going to argue with you, Sir.

But what makes you think I would ...

kill anybody ...

who wasn't going to leave me any money?

No, thank you.

Pardon me.

Obviously, we can't sit up

all night like this.

I'm going to retire.

Good night.

If you don't mind, I'll

say good night too.

If you don't mind,

Miss. Claythorne ...

... I'd rather go

upstairs alone.

May I remind you, Miss Brent, I'm the only

one whose name wasn't mentioned ...

... in the voting.

That's what I mean.

I find that fact most peculiar.

I know Miss. Brent

won't mind ...

...a third person.

Not so fast, Mr.

Lombard! I will go with you.!

The more,

the merrier!

and the safer.

Warm in here, isn' it?

- Yes, quite warm, quite warm.

- And lonely.

- Yes, quite lonely, quite, quite lonely.

-- Rogers!

-- Yes, sir?

Would you mind giving us

company for a while?

Anything you wish, sir.

- Don't pour any water.

- Are you sure, sir?

Good night, Miss.

Claythorne.

Don't you forget to lock

your door.

You can not lock

out the devil.

I think we have

another one who is barmy.

Total end'll be locked

going that way.

I don't

you will, Blore.

Now, it takes a lot to

send me off my way.

-- I don't believe you be going that way either.

-- Are you quite sane at the moment

Thank you.

-- Have you told him?

- Yes, sir.

I know the jury's decision.

You'll feel safer

if I didn't sleep inside the house tonight.

Well then, I shall sleep in

the woodshed.

And now if you will excuse me ...

Good night.

- Now I'll lock it behind me.

- That is not enough, Mr. Blore.

There is still 7. Lock that

door, please.

Put the key there.

We'll have no more

indian tricks tonight.

Lock it, Mr. Blore.

Wait! Now no one

can enter but you.

Oh, I see. But,

Who's going to keep it?

-- Rogers! Open up, Rogers!

- Keep away from that door.

It's me, Lombard!

Open up!

Don't take me for a fool,

Mr. Lombard?

-- Do not be silly, Rogers!

- Don't be silly yourself, Sir.

This is judge Quinncannon,

you know my voice, Rogers!

-- And Dr. Armstrong!

This is Blore, Rogers.

Open the door!

In a time like this I wouldn't open

the door ...

... even if it was

Santa Claus.

We just want you to give

a key.

-- What for?

-- Never mind, you idiot!

Hurry up! It's raining!

Shove it under

the door, sir.

Good night, Rogers.

Keep the door locked.

Do not worry

about me, sir.

- Be careful, judge.

- Oh, sure.

You know the common cold

kills more people than ...

... never mind.

I need hardly advise you

lock your doors.

And put a chair

under the handle.

In such a way nobody turn

the locks from the outside.

If it turns out that one of

you is Mr. Owen, ...

just remember ...

I'm a very light sleeper.

- Good night.

- Good night.

May we all meet

safe in the morning.

- Good night.

- Good night, sir.

Miss. Brent!

Miss. Brent! She doesn't answer!

-- The door locked?

-- Of course, try it!

She is not here!

You grasp the task very quickly,

Blore!

-- What's wrong, Mr. Blore?

- Miss. Brent is missing.

I tried all the doors and

she was the only one ...

... did not answer.

What is wrong with her?

She is the only

one slept.

I heard her get up.

She must have gone upstairs.

- I locked that door last night.

-- Who opened it?

Look.

Good morning, such a

good pattern.

Like a copy

from your shore.

Wasn't that door was locked

when you left out?

Yes, I opened it.

Good morning, Miss. Brent.

I sure like to walk

before breakfast ...

... but I would't gone

out alone.

I feel perfectly safe

when I'm alone. Thank you.

I share your feeling. But didn't you know that

Rogers was outside?

Poor man. I hope he

can't catch cold.

-- Who is there?

- Someone's knocking.

-- Kitchen door.

- Rogers, of course.

- He wants to get in.

- Let's see whether it is all about breakfast.

-- Where is he?

- Someone was knocking.

Rogers!

Rogers!

- He is not there.

-- Rogers!

Do you know what I think? We

got our man. It's Rogers!

It fits the psychological pattern.

His behavior last night ...

... was just strictly abnormal.

Psychological fact in my eye! I

go by facts.

He was officially accused,

facts!

Got drunk, he wouldn't

open ...

the door ...

of the woodshed, facts!

Analising this morning

... he's gone

in his hand with this rope, he disappears.

Facts!

Another fact you haven't

mentioned about Rogers.

He's dead.

The murderer was fastidious.

He cleaned this ...

after striking down ...

his victim.

Obviously he crept up

behind, ...

... and swung this chopper

and brought it down ...

... splitting the cranium.

7 littile indian boys chopping off sticks,

one chopped himself in half ...

... and then there were 6.

Were you not needed much strength

to strike that blow?

A woman could have done it if

that is what you mean.

Miss. Claythorne was locked

in her room, doctor. If that's what you mean.

We were all in

our rooms, except ...
