They all go to a party and Jane asks him and Captain Hastings to go and meet her husband, Lord Edgware in regards to a divorce. They do so, to discover that the Lord had already granted her a divorce. Jane is delighted but drops hints that she could have killed the Lord if he didn't grant her the divorce. The next day Lord Edgware is found dead and all the staff at the Lord's house swear that Jane was the one who did it but witnesses at another Lord's party swear that Jane was with them.

451

00:
27:18,000 -- 00:27:21,900

Said that does not announce it

and went directly to the library.

452

00:
27:22,600 -- 00:27:25,300

Ten minutes later I heard close

the front door.

453

00:
27:26,600 -- 00:27:29,600

At eleven, have a look

of me going to sleep.

454

00:
27:30,700 -- 00:27:34,500

But it was dark, and assumed that

Honourable was asleep.

455

00:
27:35,600 -- 00:27:37,900

The maid inside found

his body there this morning.

456

I am sorry, but how long?

Distinctness lady Edgwere

459

00:
27:49,400 -- 00:27:52,300

the Honourable Secretary.

460

00:
27:53,010 -- 00:27:54,710

I was standing there above.

461

00:
27:55,210 -- 00:27:57,010

You dressed Lady Edgwere?

462

00:
27:57,810 -- 00:28:00,310

Black dress, hat

and pearls.

463

00:
28:01,310 -- 00:28:02,310

Please forgive me.

464

00:
28:03,110 -- 00:28:06,010

Inspector, we have established?

the exact time of death?

465

00:
28:06,310 -- 00:28:09,310

No wait autopsy

and see that you selves.

466

00:
28:10,510 -- 00:28:11,910

That way more charming

say so.

467

00:
28:12,010 -- 00:28:14,310

Inspector, to hear what Anyone who inherits the title?

468

00:
28:16,810 -- 00:28:20,410

His nephew, Ronald Marsh;

a spendthrift, they say.

469

00:
28:20,710 -- 00:28:22,110

Inspector, is for you.

470

00:
28:24,320 -- 00:28:29,220

Srta. Carroll, I understand that

the daughter of lord Edgwere lives here.

471

00:
28:29,220 -- 00:28:30,220

Is it true?

472

00:
28:30,520 -- 00:28:31,820

Lady Geraldine if.

473

00:
28:32,620 -- 00:28:35,620

The property inspector you'll want to talk

with her.

474

00:
28:36,520 -- 00:28:39,420

I gave him a sedative;

speak with her later.

475

00:
28:39,720 -- 00:28:40,720

A sedative?

476

00:
28:41,420 -- 00:28:43,520

Curse, lady Edgwere if

It was this dinner.

477

00:
28:44,520 -- 00:28:46,320

Swear not rise on the artboard.

478

00:
28:46,920 -- 00:28:50,020

Just to take the phone

and always the Butler saw her.

479

00:
28:50,420 -- 00:28:53,720

It is impossible, I tell you that I saw it here at ten o'clock.

480

00:
28:53,830 -- 00:28:55,330

I saw your face clearly.

481

00:
28:55,630 -- 00:28:58,030

Srta. Carroll.

From which saw her face?

482

00:
28:59,130 -- 00:29:00,730

I stood...

483

00:
29:07,630 -- 00:29:08,630

..Here same.

484

00:
29:11,330 -- 00:29:15,430

Then, if wearing hats,

entered by the front door

485

00:
29:16,030 -- 00:29:18,730

and went to the library

in this direction,

486

00:
29:21,430 -- 00:29:22,630

Saw you my face?

487

00:
29:23,230 -- 00:29:25,830

No, but juro you which

It was that horrible woman.

488

00:
29:27,030 -- 00:29:28,130

Maybe if...

489

00:
29:29,740 -- 00:29:30,840

..You may not.

490

00:
29:33,440 -- 00:29:36,340

DIME Poirot, how lady Edgwere could?

491

00:
29:36,340 -- 00:29:38,040

be in two places

at the same time?

492

00:
29:38,040 -- 00:29:39,840

That would be difficult even for her.

493

00:
29:40,440 -- 00:29:43,040

Suppose that the killer

had

494

00:
29:43,040 -- 00:29:45,040

with that she would not go last night.

495

00:
29:45,340 -- 00:29:47,940

Assuming that,

could kill lord Edgwere

496

00:
29:48,640 -- 00:29:52,340

and incriminate lady Edgwere

using an impostor.

497

00:
29:52,740 -- 00:29:53,740

An impostor?

498

00:
29:53,740 -- 00:29:57,640

Yes, a talented imitator

someone would use black

499

00:
29:57,950 -- 00:30:02,850

a color that Jane hates,

someone like.... Carlotta adams.

500

00:
30:03,750 -- 00:30:07,050

Please, soothe you,

is not no santa

501

00:
30:07,050 -- 00:30:09,850

but it is so charming that

not involve in a murder.
