She never told me.
I did not like.
Maybe saved your life.
Remember that.
Returned to London.
Where you will use all your
influence in the secret service...
...to provide us certain information...
...military records.
If what I suspect is true,
will deploy when who?
Suspects.
Good morning, Captain Hastings.
Good morning, Mr. Poirot.
Good morning, Mrs. Oliver.
Everyone is here.
Including Bland inspector.
Awaits inside.
Who did it?
Do you know who is the murderer?
I had intuition.
Oh no, I have only impressions.
Nothing is final.
I do not like Michael Weyman.
Me neither.
Sally and Alec Legge are
very, very far apart.
Sorry to hear that.
Miss Brewis not separated from Sir George.
I'm not surprised at all.
And Mrs. Folliat wanders around...
...mower cutting with everything you see.
Hastings..
- I can not go with you?
You know what you should do, Hastings.
Do you understand?
Oh yes, sir.
What brings news?
I'm dying to know.
I also.
Good morning.
Captain Hastings joining us soon.
I have to thank the inspector
Bland for his courtesy.
Y wanted them to all questions.
Mrs. Oliver
my first question is directed to you.
Do not be alarmed.
No one here should be
alarmed by the questions.
Just for the answers.
Ms. Oliver, have you ever met
a nuclear scientist?
No, no, I think not.
However, did a nuclear scientist...
...a suspect in his 'hunting the crime.'
The buy Christmas gifts for my nephews
. All nuclear age.
I had no idea it was so.
Thought if needed technical information...
...could ask Mr. Legge.
You are a scientist, Mr. Legge Not?
Mr. Legge?
Yes, I am a nuclear physicist.
So if I know a nuclear physicist.
Is amazing.
However, his wife is not Yugoslav.
Well, you need a foreign threat,
and listening to the girls from the hostel...
...speaking with a foreign accent,
I came up with the wife Yugoslav.
If, on the contrary,
Ms Legge is English...
..... And very unhappy.
Not referred.
Stop acting, Sally.
She leaves me,
although I do not care.
You're going to jail
before I can defend myself...
...so,
who cares.
Alec, what are you talking about?
Maybe I can shed a light on this.
Mr. Legge when I was young,
during his college years,
was impressed by certain aspects...
...of Marxist philosophy.
Then became a famous scientist,
and foreign agents approached him...
...hoping to force him to give secret...
...and threatening to reveal
his past political affiliation.
That naturally..
Provoked him..
To have suffered severe depression.
Not want to waste my life work.
give information classified...
.
One followed me this far, was at the show.
Finally remove the value had to say no deal.
Alec why not tell me?
Not want to get involved, Sally.
Well I thought I rejected them.
I thought you no longer loved me.
Do not be ridiculous,
used only to Michael to make you jealous.
I were using?
Alec, I love you.
I love you too, Sally.
This is very touching.
But that has to do with the murders?
Do not you or slightly softens the heart?
During his youth he was a little more..?
If it was.
My question is absolutely
linked to the crimes.
Starting with my question to Ms. Oliver.
She encompasses everything
is good and bad, with flair.
What good is intangible,
something I can not explain.
No one can, is sometimes
excessive and stupid.
Was good with Mr. Legge.
You instinctively knew he
was a nuclear scientist...
,
I add only one wife Yugoslav,
Which was very stupid. Forgive.
And you irritated me much, much. Sorry...
But only until I realized that...
...you had gifts that were denied me my..
'm Selfish.
No, no.
Oh yeah.
See, when the vibrations began to tell...
...that something
unusual had happened here.
Hastings decided to send his friends find
Secret Service...
...and use their connections to him give,
military records that interested me.
Particularly those of
Lieutenant James Folliat.
I'm sorry ma'am.
Sorry to cause such pain.
But the truth of the case...
...is that his two sons are not dead.
One of them, Jamie,
his favorite, still lives.
Entered the Army and
retired from the same...
...under strange circumstances and
due to these mysterious circumstances.
His Majesty had to dispense
with his services.
These are the records,
if you are interested.
Sir George.
What's it all about?
Folliat Are you James?
These circumstances.
Why deny it?
So Mr. Folliat,
made during the last 20 years?
Mama, please, shut up.
The young James was
incompatible with life...
...army.
Was his fault, dear.
You spoiled him.
James was a boy so loving.
I could not deny him anything.
What happened since he left the army...
...until married Hattie
Frimple sometime later?
Who better than a great
expert in these cases?
Right.
- But you see...
Flee. an alias after another,
avoiding the police...
.
His father dies.
His mother is helpless.
Nasse The house is lost through tax...
...and James
Folliat can not do anything about it.
Until, until,
please..
Until her mother Hattie Frimple presents.
And hides from all that can recognize...
...and poses as dead,
until it changes its identity.
And James disappears.
. Correct.
So Sir George Stubbs..
Captivates naive, beautiful
and rich young American...
.
And buy the house with your money Nasse
,
and brings it to live here.
Happily Ever.
Thanks, Mrs. Oliver.
But there is a letter from a young
Hattie knew.
She is terrified of him.
He?? hides, but Eddie South...
...finds it and drag it to your yacht.
There and check her killer body in the river.
A minute.
I did not kill anyone.
My wife is not dead.
Eddie tells the truth.
- And where is she?
Hate physical intimidation,
but she would not come.
Let me introduce you to Lady Stubbs.
Hattie?
This is Hattie.
Yes it is.
- It's not.
Yes it is.
- Well, is it or not?
No. It is not,
and is very difficult to explain.
Vera, James Folliat, Sir George Stubbs alias
,
if married a Hattie.
Hattie Frimple.
In the United States she would inherit,
and heritage fortune returned to Folliat,
and the house to its former glory.
The poor girl did not enjoy much of his new
happiness.
Because this man
payment as only he could.
Killing.
What evidence has, Poirot?
Proof..
The proof rests below the folly.
That night was locally famous.
A terrible storm.
The trees were falling everywhere.
And in the hollow of one
of those trees uprooted...
...this man buried Frimple Hattie.
Camino...
...his cottage under the
storm came the old Merdell...
...who saw what was happening horrified.
Ran and what was left of his poor mind...

Shortly command to build the folly...

And this 'lady' took the
place of Hattie Frimple...
