what it seems

Congratulations.

The Colonel and I

we will accompany them

soon.

Honey.

- Madam, I must tell you.

- Then, Louise.

Not now. It's important.

You wait in the bar.

- What?

- I received a telegram.

My boyfriend ordered

his wife back to family

He's waiting for me.

I gotta go.

Give the money they promised me.

I am working for five years.

This is out of question.

You promised me.

He is still married, Louise.

I beg you.

I need that money

as a dowry.

I have worked well.

And continue to do so

as I have.

- Madam, I can not deny it.

- Thank you, Louise.

Camel!

By God!

How does enmity with all ...

Even his own lawyer

tries to trick her.

He is old fox. Have you noticed?

Knew I was not here,

as I said it ...

''Only holiday,

my friend.''

I think I can tell you.

Work for Lawyers

English Mrs. Doyle.

They suspect that Andrew

Pennington, good ...

- Squandered her money?

- Something like that.

According to the will

his father

she would manage your money

to marry.

And as recently married ...

He wanted her to sign

a document to save him.

Exactly.

I think this time the frightened,

but what do next?

Not only did he. Anyone.

Inside the Great Temple

of Karnak

passed by the pedestals

with numerous sheep,

each with an image

in front of Amenophis.

Yes, they are sheep.

Sheep libidinous,

unstable, jealous.

That they are noble!

With its proud bodies

and shameless

curved horns.

Yes, come on, lady.

Karl Marx said

that religion was

the opium of the people.

To his mother's sex.

There will be better

calms it down a bit?

It can damage

these beasts.

My mother can

be mocked for you

but that is my mother.

Cared for me in a better

times and not leave now ...

- Now what?

- Nothing.

Sorry.

Do not want to be naughty

much less offend it.

Miss,

I'm not as bad as I look.

- No?

- Word of honor.

Would you mind

offending that there?

Linnet Ridgeway

is a parasite.

A parasite on society.

In a sane world, would kill her

as a warning to others.

- The kill?

- That's what he said.

- Mr. Ferguson ...

- Jim.

Jim, you can defame

the dead?

Do not understand the question.

No matter.

Is not that wonderful?

More beyond all understanding.

The artistic temperament,

Mr. Pennington,

What forms

Stranger it takes!

I fear that this does not concern me,

Mr. Poirot.

I limit myself to the world

facts and figures.

The ancient Egyptians knew

facts and figures.

The great vizier Ptahotep

for example, was crushed to death

under a thousand pieces of silver

by squandering the fortune

his master.

- Do not tell me.

- I say.

My God.

Are you okay?

Linnet, okay?

Come on. Slowly.

Slowly. Stand Up

Okay?

What happened?

That stone must have fallen

or pushed.

To kill me?

Jackie!

But she is not here.

By God, lady,

He was in great danger.

Could be

a horrible accident.

This stone was there

and fell just

when there were people below? not.

Not exactly 4,000 years ago

Mr. Poirot.

The columns were constructed

in 1788 BC.

We agree but have

a patient to attend.

- What my neglect!

- There, there

- Let's see.

- I'm fine. Really.

You better get back to the boat

and rest awhile.

Okay,

but only about two hours,

Doctor.

Should I visit the Temple

Abu Simbel tonight.

It's extraordinary.

The image of the eastern

is the famous statue of voice.

- Really?

- Yes.

Well, we get the time.

Thank you, Doctor.

In the evening she makes a sound

sad and sorry.

- He scares me.

- It's harmless.

My God! They are fantastic!

I find terrifying.

They are not.

Think you'll sing to me?

Why not? You're divine.

Welcome to Temple

Abu Simbel.

The facade is 25 meters

long.

Each of the statues

Ramses ll

is 20 meters tall.

Get away from me!

Go!

Get away from me!

Honey,

she can not ruin everything.

Failed to bury

their dead.

Can not get away.

No, can not stay away.

Do not think I would be deceived

by Simon tricks.

I am sorry to see it here

Miss.

Sorry to say this

but is embarking on a

perilous journey, in choppy water

to meet current

of unknown disgrace.

- Why do you say that?

- Why is the truth.

Cut the last links

that bind to safety.

You can still repent

if you really want.

We have to follow our star

where it takes us.

Even for disaster?

Even in hell itself.

- I forgot my purse. Be right back.

- Right.

Well ..

We are alone, my friend.

She had not had the opportunity

to speak with you privately.

About what we have to say?

My reputation,

Mrs. Doyle.

- Directs that institute in Zurich.

- That's right.

And you have said things

nasty about me

influential individuals

and position.

- Said it's a fake.

- Mrs. Doyle.

- A dangerous hypocrite.

- Listen.

My friend Myra Seligman

heard very well.

Let it apply

those foul shots.

I prescribed a treatment

Armadillo with urine.

Yes, I had already used it before

with great success.

In the case of Myra, went mad,

Thanks to you.

I will not allow this.

Your comments

about my treatment

can not continue.

Sue me if you dare.

You know that is impossible.

A scandal

on my clinical

mean ruin.

So will your funeral.

Hopefully

not yours.

Want a creamy cocoa

or cognac, perhaps?

The service upstairs

is very slow.

No thanks.

What time is it?

There is a clock.

Use your eyes.

His mother did not teach

we created

There is a big difference

between eccentricity and discourteous?

My mother was a lady.

Quality that you did not inherit.

It's bedtime.

Okay. Where's my shawl?

I have not seen it.

- You are right that was with him?

- Yes.

I do not see it.

Use your eyes.

Mr. Poirot.

I hope that one day

can tell me some

their cases ...

- The juiciest.

- The juicier?

The bloodiest.

Bloody.

As you wish, ma'am.

- Good evening, sir.

- Good evening.

- Sorry.

- No problem.

It seems very sleepy

tonight, Mr Porridge.

Yes, I'm very sleepy.

Sleep consumes me.

I do not know why I can hardly

keep your eyes open.

Me neither.

Could I follow

up to my cabin?

It is here, as you know.

I suppose that young uneducated

come to try to seduce you.

Do not leave without at least

give a semblance of fight.

Persecution

is very important.

Mother!

No, this is better.

It has a dangerous step.

Whenever I stumble.

No. There is a river.

The old Nile is agitated

tonight.

It's true.

There are strong currents.

Already arrived.

No, no. Alas, alas.

- Good evening.

- Good evening, ma'am

Ola

- He got off the boat?

- Yes, it's beautiful in the moonlight.

A night of honeymoon.

If the daughter of cleric

only take water ...

surely end up with gin.

Ace of diamonds.

- Simon.

- What?

- We are waiting.

- Sorry.

It's your turn.

- Dobro.

- What?

It was your man

but it was bad.

I attached?

No thanks.

You can repeat your bet?

Sorry.

If the aunt of the vicar

never touched drink

wait until it knows

champagne.

Just wait.

Sorry, honey,

was not thinking.

They swore to be faithful

each other

- Faithful as the stars.
