Charles Cartwright.

Look., Is greeting us.

Holaaa.

The Wally is up there, beside is Angela.

Angela Stafford?

Yes, it's very nice, I love it..

This is Hastings.

And that the great Poirot.

Why is so great that Poirot?

Is the best and most famous

detective in the world...

Poirot.

I guess we will not have

crimes during this exciting weekend.

No backstabbing.

Does Monsieur murder weapon. Poirot.?

Oh, no, not at this time I was thinking..

Must have killed several men in battle.

And now spends his retirement

on the wall of a room...

...a glamorous mansion.

Looks can be deceiving Mr. Poirot.

Theater's props.

Props?

If.

Oh. Do you mean?

- Yeah, yeah.

Charles the use in 'The Dragon

real' memory.

The dragon..

Well, well..

Here are the two writers together.

Did you know that now

Mr. Poirot is a writer?

You mean your memories, if you had heard.

But one is not to be written writer.

Absolutely true.

Wally, looks after the two writers

while preparing drinks.

Do you write for the movies too?

No, just for the theater.

Guess I'm some snob.

Write satires, comedies

small, those things.

But I confess that I have

always been attracted...

...particularly murder.

Here you are.

Egg That girl.

Called while you were dressed, wondering

..

If he could bring a guest.

Did he say who?

No, he said nothing.

In some cases the facts are

to people, not vice versa.

A man may travel to the ends of the earth

and nothing happens.

Instead other can not

go through your town...

...not an accident or the like.

And you think that I belong

to the second category...

..., of course.

Mr. Poirot, I have understood

that it has to look exactly...

...cases.

I would say no, Poirot,

tell them the trombonist...

O what the French fat maybe.

Ah. Here are the Eastman.

Apologize.

Good Afternoon.

How are you?

Mother and daughter

live here in Acapulco?

If, throughout the year.

If you are wealthy people.

Carriers.

Carriers?

Hello, Ricardo. How is your father?

He's in Washington.

Ah, give my greetings, pass.

Thanks.

Let me.

The train is coming.

How about martinis?

I know love.

I want you to meet someone.

This is Hercule Poirot.

The famous detective you spoke.

This is my mother, Daisy Eastman.

Impossible, What mother

so young, madame...

...is a pleasure.

Also.

Pleased to meet after

his brush with death today.

Encounter?

Egg and his car.

Uh. The car, all my life

paraded before my eyes.

Hastings was at fault.

Please.

Ah. Yes, let's blame Hastings.

You were like 40.

Not true.

Who is this young man?

Ricardo Montoya, Mr. Poirot.

Nice to meet you.

Hastings.

Be careful,

Ricardo is communist.
