Of course it does.

I sleep very lightly

and something woke me up,

as a click.

A click?

Yes, with a champagne cork

when bursts

A champagne common

is clear and

is not a good crop.

They make a noise

much more discreet.

It could have been

a small weapon and not a cork?

Quite possibly.

Although it should

take into account

my little knowledge

firearms.

Found.

Find! Good!

What a wonderful success!

The camel.

And there is no error.

Gentlemen ...

Gentlemen, I am sure

we find what they seek.

- Thank you, Mr. Chowdhury.

- It was a pleasure.

Without doubt

is the weapon of Miss. Jackie.

A new 22 Derringer,

- Four shots.

- Two bullets fired.

A scarf for man ...

Looks like blood.

A marble ashtray

to sink it.

And my shawl.

It's yours, madam?

Of course it's mine.

I lost last night in the lounge.

The murderer involved in the churning

to muffle the noise of gunshots.

What impertinence!

Crown Prince Carol

gave me this shawl

Romania.

People have no respect

the property of others.

Neither of the other for jewelry.

In that regard, sir?

I refer to pearls

Potsdam, lady

that belonged to Mrs. Doyle

and were subtracted.

Subtracted?

Taken.

Penthouses.

Stolen.

And why look at me

with that known

expression?

What has

Pearls me?

I'm the nasty spy

intruder, ma'am.

I heard that he admired

those pearls, which would

All his teeth''

to possess them.''

Maldita Bowers.

My theory is that you have

an obsessive love for jewelry,

that coveted pearls

Mrs. Doyle

and it was decided

to possess them

even through theft

or murder.

Do not deny it, ma'am.

I can see her walking

the deck yesterday evening

hoping that Mrs. Doyle

sleep.

Go to sleep.

See what happens in the salon.

Hey, Jackie.

I'll kill you first.

Jackie.

When the hall is empty

takes to get the gun.

Go to the box

Mrs. Doyle

knowing her husband

would not be there.

Throw it

and then steals the pearls

the bedside table.

Take that back

or I'll sue him for slander,

with the utmost rigor.

Will not match the rigor

which will check with

this boat

especially his cabin

in search of those gems.

I wish you a good afternoon.

You are a detestable

arrogant French.

Arrogant Belgian

Please, lady.

Need to be so rude

with you?

- It seems to accuse everybody.

- With good reason, sir.

Do you think that the old

not murder?

I think she

is with the pearls.

The question is whether he killed.

to get them

Mr Chowdhury.

Good luck.

- Yes, sir?

- We sailed now

I already gave the order.

Right now the coach

is working in the boiler.

Why the rush?

Friend, I feel the presence

evil around me.

The sooner we get

the Wadi Halfa, the better.

Keep it

in a safe place.

Beginning the search

pearls.

It's the last cabin.

Maybe he played in the water.

Forget missing

Pennington's cabin.

We'll review it now.

Hi, guys!

Our journey continues.

Good afternoon, ma'am.

Take a drink with me?

This wonderful young

just prepared

the most extraordinary mixture

native fruit juices.

It is called Golden Sebek

in honor of the God of the Old

City Crocodilopolis.

Not for me.

sometimes yank the dog

but not crocodile scales.

Race ...

How will the research

this tragic event,

Mr. Poirot?

Normally, as they say,

lady.

The crime of passion.

The primitive instinct to kill,

so related

with the sexual instinct.

I feel sorry for the poor

crazy Jackie,

changed their emotions,

your blood boiling,

wanting revenge on those who

stole her man.

Yes, of course

but may have been somebody else

a reason

also good.

Who?

The lady, Mrs. Otterbourne.

- What was that?

- Now, her daughter and the lady know

that do not defame

the dead.

We no longer have to pay

that massive reparations.

- Yes but not to kill for it.

- No?

Another of these things gold.

Mrs. Otterbourne,

I see her looking at the hall,

through windows,

for that, as you said,

poor crazy Jackie,

shooting with Mr Doyle.

And then

when everyone leaves,

I see it going to get

gun

and then moving furtively

kill Mrs. Doyle.

No!

My world is love,

of passion and romance

and not cruel crimes.

Now, please

leave me in peace.

If the upset,

sorry.

Life can be very cruel!

We need the courage

to face the slander of life.

Barman.

The crocodile lost

their scales.

What most annoying woman!

Why not kill,

I wonder?

Maybe someday subscribers

of libraries

to meet and hire

a murderer.

Mrs. Van Schuyler

is very silly

to play with

Hercule Poirot.

You know it has no evidence

she stole them.

The return of Pearls

does not mean never

not killed

to steal them first.

Pennington?

We need to find

the document that he tried

Mrs. Doyle to sign.

What is this?

- Poirot.

- Yes?

Ms.. Jackie was not the only

passenger who traveled armed.

It was not killed

the Linnet.

Obviously not.

How many words

You see better. See

What drug are you doing?

Viewing your documents

Particular, sir. It's not obvious?

You what?

Perhaps it is common in Paris

messing with things beyond

but we are not

in Paris.

Brussels, sir ...

I do not care if it's Borneo.

Not entitled

to be here.

We have every right.

While the police did not arrive

The Company has instructed

research.

No relation

with my documents.

They prove that, despite

Wedding of Mrs. Doyle,

you still trying

control her money.

So what?

There is no law prohibiting it.

Has the law against fraud

customers

and mine contractors

do not like it

Who are they?

Lawyers

English Mrs. Doyle

and we are not satisfied

to see how you

and his partner are careful

her business.

- Go to hell!

- One moment.

- Everything is in perfect order.

- Would that it were true.

I think we came to do it

sign this proxy

and failed.

So was the

Temple of Amun.

He climbed to the tallest pillar.

There he pushed a stone

that fell

and that for some, not killed.

You can not blame it on me.

Get out!

I've heard too much garbage.

One day you will hear more trash mouth

of a public prosecutor.

This is yours, I guess.

Belgium.

Let us prepare for dinner.

J'ai faim''.''

- Poirot,''you have a woman''?

-''Femme''is a woman.

J'ai faim''''is''I'm hungry.''

I need to talk to that young

I'll see you at the restaurant,

sir.

Ask me les morilles''''

please.

Morilles''''Les?

Ah, eel!

How are you, young lady?

Hardly, Mr. Poirot.

I'm so ashamed.

His wife died e. ..

Now he's all yours again.

It is wrong to

he comes back?

I still love him

now he needs me

more than ever.

Mr Poirot, could ...?

It could take me to see it?

Only five minutes.

Please?

I do not see why not.

If he wants

and the doctor does not object

I'll ask.

Good!

The fever broke.

Okay, Mr. Poirot.

I have no objection

if the visit is short.

- Five minutes max, right?

- Thank you, Doctor.

Miss Jackie.

You can see it now.

Thank you!

- Hi, Jackie.

- Simon.

Sorry for the Linnet.

- Thanks.

- Simon, I did not kill her. I swear.

No need to say it.

I know.
