he came here yesterday.
- What did he want?
- Monsieur Brown, please come quick.
He's done terrible thing.
He came yesterday to hide from Tontons.
I tell him to stay here. He very sick man.
- What happened tonight?
- I hear car.
I say, "Go away double quick."
He say,
"I am sick. Too late to go anywhere."
He run into the garden.
I follow him. Too late.
Where's everybody got to?
Where's the maid? Where's the cook?
They scared. They lock themselves in.
Anyone at home?
Oh, is that you, Mr. Brown?
The taxi left us off at the gate.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to greet you
on the steps of the hotel.
Joseph, would you get
the John Barrymore suite ready?
And be sure there are lots of oil lamps.
- Yes, sir.
They'll come back on again in a minute.
was very helpful at the customs.
- Now, did you go to the embassy?
- I left my card.
- Is that a pool you have there?
- Yes.
The one thing I like
is a swim before breakfast.
Yes, well,
I'll get it filled up during the night.
Now, that's your suite up there.
When the lights are on,
you can see the whole of Port-au-Prince.
Did John Barrymore really stay there?
Well, it's before my time,
but I can show you his liquor bills.
Yes, well, if you'd like to go up,
Joseph will meet you.
If you need anything, just ask Joseph.
- Thank you.
- Oh, dear.
Oh, there we are.
Oh, come over here, dear.
- What a lovely view.
- Yeah.
Look at the harbor.
And that must be our ship.
Surely, that's the President's palace.
It looks just like the White House.
Oh, Mr. Brown,
- has Major Jones arrived yet?
- No, not yet.
Well, we won't wait up for him.
If we could have some hot water
for our Yeastrel.
Certainly. Certainly.
- Good night.
- Good night.
You heard that, Joseph?
Some hot water
for the John Barrymore suite.
Then take the car and ask Dr. Magiot
to get here as soon as he can.
Yeah.
It was thoughtful of him
to choose this spot.
You only have to turn on the water.
Why were they after him?
he described the President
as a little country witch doctor.
To have a glass too many
is a reckless act in Haiti.
Why did he come here?
I was no great friend.
Too many refugees at the embassies.
The Tontons keep a close watch.
Perhaps he thought an Englishman's home
really is his castle.
We'll have to get
the body away from here.
They can't blame me for a suicide, Magiot.
They can blame you
because he picked your hotel to hide in.
A very neat incision.
