leaving the scene of the crime.

What?

He said he knows who

Louise killed?

Easy. Do not scream.

Mrs. Otterbourne, can not

stay here. I forbid

I found it odd

Mr. Doyle scream

with Mrs. Otterbourne.

Now I know who did it

to warn Jackie

the cabin door.

Mrs. Otterbourne,

God, calm down.

Now tell us the story

from the beginning.

And why, from the beginning

and the whole story?

To allow time

Jackie's act,

what he did immediately.

- ... you have to say

- Mr. Doyle.

It was he who killed his wife.

Mr. Pennington?

Boasted that his father

had taught her to shoot.

and her pride was not in vain.

I saw that I knew ...

He dropped the gun and ran

to his cabin next door.

It was very risky

but it was his only chance.

My friends

that's all.

Congratulations, Mr. P.

-For a fun theory.

It's more than a theory.

Unfortunately

is the truth.

And what happened

with the first bullet?

What Jackie shot me?

Good question, yes.

Everyone is looking at this table?

It has a piercing bullet

recent here.

You had time

taking the bullet

and throws it into the Nile.

- Nonsense!

- It's not nonsense.

We have evidence

that the three bullets

are gun

Miss. Jacqueline.

Suppose that.

How to prove that Simon

shot the other two?

Correct.

Have no evidence.

Absolutely

no evidence

The find, easy.

Not escape.

No?

Not convinced

a jury without evidence.

And where you want

get them, Mr. P.?

With Linnet?

No.

Not with Linnet.

With you.

What do you mean?

Simon

Quietly

ha a very simple proof,

now accepted as evidence

in any court in the world.

It's called''Proof''Moulage.

Moulage''Proof''?

Yes,''''Moulage.

When firing a weapon

skin are grains of gunpowder

that can be drawn

with a thin layer

wax.

This is the''Proof''Moulage.

Sir, can do this?

Anytime.

I suppose you are willing

to undergo this test?

It does not hurt, just feels a little

heat.

Jackie, what ...?

What can we do?

Nothing.

It's all over.

Do not worry so much, sir

for me, I mean.

Is concerned, is not it?

A little?

Yes

And do not judge Simon

too hard.

Never had the money and Linnet

dazzled with all the

their wealth.

Simon,

remember what you said?

He said it was''a story

I would marry the Linnet,

she would die and I would inherit everything.''

That's when I knew

who conceived the idea.

Terrorized me.

He knew that try something

totally absurd.

Even had the idea for

the snake in his bed.

And you found another use

for the snake lady.

Glad

not to have him killed, sir.

Honestly.

So

you see,

had to help you.

I always had to help you.

Jackie, I love you.

I love you.

Stop!

Mr Poirot.

What a tragedy!

A splendid work,

Poirot, I must admit.

Could not have done

the''test''Montage.

I have no wax.

Haunts me, sir.

Haunts me altogether.

Goodbye, Mr. Poirot.

I fear that the description

their cases should expect

until another opportunity.

Alas, lady!

I wanted to tell you

My recent experience

on the Orient Express.

Come, Bowers.

It's time to go.

This place gets

to resemble a morgue.

Thank God

will be one soon.

- Old boring.

- What genius, Bowers!

Need a vacation

refreshing.

I thought of a trip

the Gobi Desert.

Mr. Poirot, I want it

the first to know.

We just became engaged.

Congratulations, Missy.

Lord.

- Congratulations and good luck.

- Thanks.

- Goodbye, Mr. Poirot.

- Goodbye, sir.

- Colonel Race.

- Good luck.

My young,

an advice ...

as they say

United States

With''calm''.

Try.

With this thinking?

Thought of Moliere.

Hopefully speak some

known language.

The great ambition''

Women

is to inspire love.''
