And Then There Were None Page #3

Quite frankly, I came here

professionally.

I received a letter from Mr.

Owen asking me ...

... to come here and spend a weekend,

pretend to be a guest ...

... so that I'd examine

his wife ...

... who had refused to

see a doctor.

I summarise our findings.

We all received letters

from old trusted friends ...

inviting us to spend ...

the weekend here ...

... as guests of their

friends, Owens.

Miss. Claythorne was

employed to an agency ...

... and told to report

to Mrs. Owen.

This letter to Mr. Lombard

is the only one directed ...

... to Mr. Owen.

Very peculiar.

I might even call it

threatening. What do you say?

I say ...that the only person's

presence here ...

... hasn't been explained

is that gentleman.

Well, your honour, in a reason

I can't conceal any longer.

I am here to

do a job.

- I was hired.

-- By whom?

This man Owen.

-- Did you see him?

-No, here is the money order he sent ...

... for joining the party

as one of the guests.

I've a detective agency! Here I got

my credentials!

Look here, judge.

All of the letters refer

to our host ...

... as U.N. Owen.

"U.N. Owen "!

UN-kn-own

Yes Mr. "Unknown" does not only.

intend to see us under

false pretences...

but he is taking ...

the trouble to find out the eight of us

Listen, my friends,

the accusation is true!

Now I remember,

a year ago ...

... two people in

the road, ...

... I was driving fast,

fast, fast!

-- What happened?

- They took my licence away.

-- What about the two people?

- I ran over them.

Bad luck.

I have still not guessed the purpose

of Mr. Unknown host...

... getting us to assemble here.

In my opinion, he is not

of a normal mind.

He may be dangerous.

I think we should all

leave immediately.

I quite agree, sir.

Rogers, how soon

can we get the boat from England?

I can not, sir.

There is no telephone.

The boat only comes

twice a week.

It won't come again

until Monday.

And this is only Friday.

-- no boat here?

No, sir.

Why do we leave,

my friends?

Why not go to the

bottom of this mystery?

It's wonderful!

At my time of life, I have no desire

for "thrills", as you call them.

Your legal mind has lost

taste for adventure.

I am all for crime,

your honor.

May I propose a toast:

Here is to crime!

Perfectly disgusting!

Drinks like an animal.

Huh? What did you say?

- He is not moving.

Just plain drunk.

Just plain dead.

-- What did the doctor say?

- Dead.

What?

What are you looking at, Rogers?

- It is broken, sir.

It will have much to report

the landlord.

But Mr. Owen

isn't the owner, sir.

He's only leased it.

Ah! Then you know more

than you told us.

Come, come, Rogers, I'm quite sure
