Could pick up the gun

before leaving here,

while Mr. Ferguson

Mr. Doyle served.

- I'll call Miss. Bowers.

- Right.

When he was seeking

Mlle. Bowers

could have passed

the cabin of Mrs. Doyle

and shot her.

Would just

one or two minute delay.

Mlle. Bowers, wake up.

Miss Bowers.

What?

Please come.

There was an accident.

Why do we

we would have picked up the gun?

We had no reason

to murder her.

But she was''a parasite

a parasite on the skin

society ...

I deserved that kill.''

- Yes but ...

- Yes, sir, that killed

as an example for others.

Nasty French spy.

Belgian spy, please, sir.

And you, Miss ...

was anxious to avoid

great harm to their mother.

I could not have done it.

You asked a question

ha two days. I will answer.

You are right, Miss ...

one can not defame

the dead.

You're horrible.

Pretends to be kind and respectful

and only wants to deceive us.

I must discover

what is hidden, miss.

The truth.

Then, after applying

morphine in Miss. Jackie

- She did not move for nothing?

- Exactly.

Nervous reaction,

alcohol and morphine together

would have sunk the Titanic.

No way could

she was the killer?

Not in any way

may have been her.

No.

But you could.

I?

Yes, ma'am.

Suppose you were

on deck when shot.

Saw what happened

and knew where

got the gun.

Young lady, come with me.

It will be more useful than this fool

who is afraid of blood.

While Mr. Ferguson

and Mlle. Rosalie

helped Dr. Bessner

may have left his patient

and rose to get the gun.

Had enough time,

before Mr. Ferguson

return to search it.

Then he could have gone

the cabin of Mrs. Doyle

and shot her.

What nonsense.

Why would I kill

Mrs. Doyle?

Because her father

Ridgeway was Melhuish,

whose unscrupulous business

ruined his father

and condemned you

to a life as a maid.

Nonsense.

Where'd you hear that?

Same lady, girl,

three days ago.

How dare you hear

a private conversation?

Some voices were heard

far.

Is this true?

Yes it is.

See?

Why would kill her for something

that happened years ago?

Why still resents

deep effects.

No, ma'am,

unfortunately

I am not convinced

he's talking about.

Had the means, motive,

the opportunity and more ...

the willingness to kill.

Mr. Poirot has ended?

For now

but be prepared to answer

more questions if needed.

I will not.

Mr Poirot.

It is true that the Linnet?

Totally true.

I did not kill her.

I know everyone thinks that

but not killed

Quiet, mademoiselle.

We know we did not.

We have evidence

- Evidence.

- Thank God.

But Simon? okay?

The doctor seems satisfied

with your state.

It was crazy last night.

It could have killed him.

Do you think he will forgive me?

It is very likely.

I know that men

feel less attracted

women

who treat them well.

Mlle. Bowers,

accompany her to her stateroom.

Later we'll take you

to visit him.

Thanks

I think we should

seen it first.

He should be awake.

Good idea.

What else

confuses me if

is the revolver.

- The revolver?

- Why disappear?

I do not understand the importance of this.

In many cases this happens.

Even when you want

a plot? No.

Why bother to

J''''writing on the wall,

with blood,

and then hide

revolve the''J''?

I understand what it says.

They found something.

One thing is certain ...

There was a fish

that killed Mrs. Doyle

"You okay?

"Yeah, thanks.

I think I lost consciousness.

Eat something. Will give you strength.

Thanks.

I do not want food.

You do not?

"So I can ...?

Please. Feel free

I can not believe it.

Linnet is dead.

It is a severe blow.

I suppose everything indicates

that was Jackie ...

I know that would not commit

a crime as well.

Relax.

We know that there was

Mlle. Jackie.

Thank God.

Have you any idea

who may have been?

Well, either.

Yesterday she said

that everybody on this boat

were his enemies.

We have reason to believe

she was right.

Lord.

Sorry.

I came to see if he was comfortable.

The comfortable as possible.

Thanks, Louise.

You've found the body.

Maybe you can give us

some light.

How, sir?

Are you accusing me?

A respectable girl?

- I swear on my dead mother ...

- Quiet, Louise.

No stories.

Just tell the truth.

Sit.

Lord detective, believe me.

Everybody loved

poor Mrs. Doyle. Age ..

He was young, beautiful.

Nobody would want to kill her.

Louise, this is not true,

including you ...

They might say something

that everyone understands?

She said that everyone loved

Mrs. Doyle.

At least it is something new.

When was the last time

Mrs. Doyle saw live?

Yesterday evening, sir.

I was in her cabin,

helping her to undress

And then where did it go?

For my cabin,

where else?

And not seen or heard anything

that can help us?

How, sir?

My cabin

is on the other side of the boat.

Naturally

it could not sleep

if it had gone on deck

might have seen the killer

enter and leave the cabin

lady.

But as was ...

Lord, I beg

who understands my situation

What more can I say?

Nobody is

accusing you of anything

Do not worry, Louise.

I will protect you.

- You are very good.

- But ...

if he had not returned direct

to his cabin

had time

witnessing aggression

Mr. Doyle in the lounge.

- No.

- Yes.

Could have walked

the deck and see everything,

in due course

take the revolver

back ...

and kill Mrs. Doyle.

Lord, is being

unfair.

Why would I do something bad?

Answer.

Louise.

I know all about you

and his novel

and opposition from Mrs. Doyle

when he wanted to go.

But I have no money

or references.

My only option was to stay

Precisely.

The hated for it.

But did not kill her.

One last question, Louise.

Where are the pearls

Mrs. Doyle?

Her pearls?

She wore them last night.

She left them at the table,

near the bed.

They were there in the morning?

My God! Not even looked.

I approached the bed,

I saw the lady

screamed and ran out

the cabin.

Did not even look!

But I, Hercule Poirot,

I have eyes that watch everything.

The beads were not

on the table this morning.

Had evaporated,

gone,

disappeared.

- We must find the gun.

- And the pearls.

This should not be

very difficult.

That heat.

You're right.

I'll change your shirt.

Let us pause

to cool down

and let the gray matter

rest.

See you in five minutes

I wish to thank

the very timely help.

It was a pleasure.

Heard you called SOS.

- Do you think it was on purpose?

- Of course

but a simple snake

will not stop an investigation

Hercule Poirot.

How is your research?

With intelligence and discretion?

- Nobody to put handcuffs?

- Not yet.

There's a snake

killed there.

Kindly send

removes it. Thanks.

Come on Race.

A snake? Not possible!

I had never seen a reptile

first in a cabin.

Ever.

Who's next? Pennington?

We know how it is.

It's dangerous.

Poirot Lord, I guess.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Perhaps allow

that we follow?

Of course.

- Yes?

- Its cabin is close to Mrs. Doyle?

That's right.

He heard something strange

last night?
