If the wife of a God

never touched wine

can bet it will end

with whiskey.

Continue. Was ...

Saying something

about someone's daughter.

Salome Otterbourne,

the author of novels.

Salome?

She had not cut

the head of a man?

This should be with someone

I know.

- Enough of what?

- In the drink.

- Drink.

By chance is your problem?

- I suppose not.

- That's right.

What is it, Simon?

Are you afraid?

- Fear of what?

- Fear ...

that I tell this girl

the story of my life.

Now I must go.

No, wait.

is a very sad story.

Need three handkerchiefs,

if sentimental.

For the love of God, Jackie.

Go to sleep and let

to make a fool of.

Simon said that''

I'm making a fool of.

Simon sent me

You can not treat me well.

Call Dr. Bessner.

Take it to your cabin.

Reassure her

What did I do?

Miss Bowers

Ask them to take care of it ....

Come on.

Simon ...

Then call the doctor.

Fast.

Lie

- Simon.

- Easy.

The search was Miss Rosalie. Bowers.

It is a nurse and care for you

You took too long.

Ms.. Bowers was in bed.

She comes

- The sooner the better.

- How are you?

How could it be

After shooting the ex-boyfriend?

As can be

so heartless?

Easy.

Ms.. Bowers already.

You'll be fine.

Will be well.

This is Doyle.

There was an accident e. ..

Yes, Miss.

Otterbourne told me.

I think an injection

morphine to calm down.

It is effective when Mrs. Van Schuyler

get nervous.

Ferguson, call the doctor

German next door.

- Ask that meets Doyle.

- Yeah, okay.

It is poorly

Take another napkin.

Easy.

The bone is fractured

and there is much blood loss.

Very good.

Help me to take it

to my cabin.

Are you afraid of blood

as a woman?

Mr. Ferguson,

help me raise him.

Stay with her tonight

No one knows how he will react.

- Ms. Bowers, she okay?

- Yes.

Applied morphine.

I will not leave alone.

great.

Young girl, come with me.

It will be more useful to have dizzy

who is afraid of blood.

Open my door.

That, slowly, carefully.

Very good.

We're almost there.

Very good.

Get a cold towel

to the head, yes?

Yes, Doctor.

I'll get the gun.

It should not stop there,

is not it?

- Yes.

- Yes.

Jackie ...

It should not be alone.

She is not alone.

Do not worry.

My dear Lord,

everything was my fault.

I treated her badly.

I did not know what I did.

I was drunk.

This is gonna hurt.

Not the best

tell your wife?

Yes

Yes, please.

No, let her sleep.

not to worry

until tomorrow.

The best I can do

is wrapping.

There is no exit wound.

The bullet got stuck inside.

I'll have to wait

until we arrived in Wadi Halfa.

Climb up his sleeve.

Take,

wipe with it.

I will make splints

and I'll put them

while sleeping.

Thank you, Doctor.

Do not worry.

Everything will be alright.

Is not there.

What?

The weapon is not there.

I wonder who took it?

I do not know.

Hope it is not important.

''Sometimes I want for this gun

in her head

and then slowly

pull the trigger.''

What?

Nothing.

I spoke with the Supervisor.

He charged me the case.

We will be responsible

until we reach the port.

- I am at your disposal.

- Thanks.

What can you say about that?

Shot her with a bullet

very small

The revolver was

well near the head.

Here we can see

versengen''all''.

What drug? Can not speak English?

I mean the singed.

Yes, the singed.

Excuse me.

Well, well

- What follows from all this?

- Huh?

I think it's easy.

Mrs. Doyle was dying ...

wanted to identify the killer

soiled finger

with his own blood

and''J''wrote on the wall.

Jacqueline.

What you say is nonsense.

She died instantly

- Really?

- Did not have time to write.

No.

It was a joke?

Very small

and not very good taste

But the''J''is on the wall.

We have to explain why.

It seems a gesture

childishly melodramatic.

What was the time of death?

Been dead for at least

six hours

and no more than eight.

ie between midnight

and two in the morning

What is extraordinary.

Why?

Because it means

Miss you. Jacqueline

could not have done it.

You even told me,

sir

Mrs. Doyle left the salon

shortly before 11:45

to go to bed.

From that moment on

Jackie has been with

Mlle. Rosalie and Mr. Doyle

or Mr. Ferguson

and Mlle. Bowers,

that morphine injected into it

and stayed with her in his cabin

all night.

Simon Doyle is eliminated

due to his fractured leg.

I suppose it could not

walking wounded?

Not a step, I guarantee.

Good! Hopefully the process

continue.

I'm afraid not, sir.

Almost everyone in this boat

understand why Miss. Jackie

hated Mrs. Doyle.

It was the person needs

for a''plot''.

At least, sir,

can not suspect me.

Why not?

Had a motive to kill her

second discovered last night.

Then he heard the conversation.

But that was no reason.

I could proceso it.

And risk the ruin?

The murder was cheaper

And safer,

if not discovered.

- I could not do something.

- I do not agree.

At the time of shooting

against Mr. Doyle

you could be on deck

perhaps suffering from insomnia.

You may have heard the voices

and looked out the window

Salon ...

have seen what happened.

Go to sleep.

Can not treat me well.

Hey, Jackie.

I'll kill you first.

Jackie.

He could remember the position

the revolver

Then when they called

in his cabin

could grab the gun

while attending Mr. Doyle.

Later,

when all was silent

may have left the cabin,

without knowing that his patient,

gone to the cabin

Mrs. Doyle

and shot her.

No, Doctor,

I can not delete it.

what are you implying

ubermaessig''is''.

An insult, yes.

Do not stay here

to be insulted.

Find anything in glaze?

Do not catch flies

with vinegar.

- What was that?

- An old French proverb,

too long

to explain

Let's prepare

for an investigation

customers who pay.

As time passed,

according to his calculations,

between the time

you and the doctor

Mr. Doyle drew hall

when he returned to

to get the gun?

- About three or four minutes.

- Three or four minutes.

You were near the hall

when he heard shooting.

It is totally possible

you

noticing the position

the revolver.

I agree.

Totally possible.

Also entirely possible

you

hoped that the hall

was empty

caught the revolver

and then said

that he had not found.

And then, before informing

Dr. Bessner of disappearance,

could use it to kill

Mrs. Doyle.

Could have done it,

but did not.

And you, Miss?
