And Then There Were None Page #8

Killed by that gun I had

borrowed from Mr. Lombard.

and which he found later

on the step.

I counted on everyone's confusion

at the dark.

And I counted on Armstrong

who played his part to the end.

I knew nobody would challenge

the doctor's authority ...

... when he would say: "He has

been shot through the head. "

After that, I had to

play my part.

And what a part it was!

No one would suspect me.

Least of all the dear doctor ...

... who thought that I was

about to discover the unknown murderer ...

... and He was waiting for me

on the beach ...

worrying about ...

the success of our plan.

For a few minutes later, he had

nothing more to worry about.

Justice had triumphed once again.

Too late he'd learn that drinking one gets

out of his hand ...

... can be fatal.

So you see, the whole thing has been

as inevitable ...

... as the nursery rhyme.

When the boat arrives

from the mainland, ...

... there will be 10 dead bodies and

a riddle ...

... that no one can

solve in the Indian Island.

Ten?

My dear child, I'm an old

and sick man.

I received my death

sentence a year ago.

Rather than go painfully

and slowly ...

I choose to leave this ...

wicked world ...

... with a record

of good deeds.

How can you force me

to hang myself?

The only living person

found here ...

... with 9 corpses,

would have certainly be hanged.

as the last indian

has to be.

Public hanging

isn't pretty.

If you allow me to give you a piece of

friendly advice, do it now privately.

More dignified.

And now my work is done.

Never should entrust

a woman.

Thanks for the advice,

Mr. Owen.

If I hadn't

trusted you, darling, you hadn't trusted me ...

By the way, why

did you trust me?

Why did you?

On account of one thing Mr.

Owen couldn't forsee.

Someone is still alive!

Good morning.

-- Ready to leave now?

-- Always!

Are the others waiting

too?

You call them.
