into two parts.

"Places in which they are not allowed to

live and places they cannot enter. "

It will have to be solved.

Do you want to go out tonight, Poirot?

Give me one good night on terra firma.

I'll do anything you want tomorrow.

- Well, let me see you in then.

- Oh, yes. Thank you.

Isn't that the girl from the ship?

Smile.

Lennox, if Daddy had intended to leave me

a lot of money...

wouldn't he have told Mr. Cope about it?

And why did Mr. Cope disappear?

I haven't seen him since yesterday.

They turned me out

because I have on a sleeveless dress.

Apparently, the Almighty

doesn't like my arms...

in spite of having made them.

Sleeves are holy.

So picturesque. I just love it.

Young man, press that. Not yet.

Lady Westholme.

This is the men's section.

You are not allowed.

Press the button. Press the button.

This is the back of the

Holy Sepulcher Church, you understand.

Mind the steps.

Wait now. Don't all rush.

Raymond, come here!

Is all well, Madame?

What are my sufferings

compared to those of our Redeemer?

Of course. I thought

since my friend there is a doctor...

Hi, can I see you tonight after dinner?

Oh, I...

The Caf El Arish.

It's in the square behind the hotel.

- Right.

- Raymond.

Now where are Nadine and Lennox?

Smile.

Come on. You're not still sulking

over Jefferson, are you?

It's a good one.

I love you, Lennox. You know that.

I want our marriage to work.

Nadine! Lennox!

But it won't unless we can get away

from your mother.

Come here!

We have so much to see.

Goodbye, Monsieur Poirot.

Goodbye, Madame.

Come along, children.

- Mother, can I go swimming?

- Swimming is dangerous, Ginevra.

May we go to the Dead Sea?

I hear it's full of salt.

The proud mother hen with her chicks.

She's a monster.

Are you getting emotionally involved,

dear Doctor?

Come.

Dr. King.

Hi, I'm Carol Boynton.

I have a message for you from Raymond.

I had a feeling he might not turn up.

He wanted to, but he wasn't feeling well.

My stepmother went on at him.

About me?

Before her marriage,

our stepmother was a wardress in a prison.

My father was the governor,

and he married her.

And she's still a wardress to us.

How old are you?

Twenty-two. Ray's a year older than I am.

Why don't you leave home?

We wouldn't know where to go

or what to do.

No one outside can really understand.

I think I understand quite well.

Please, Ray is very sorry.

He really would like to meet you.

You're back early, Dr. King. Why don't you

join Colonel Carbury and myself?

- I could do with a drink, thank you.

- Yes.

Sit down here. I'll order for you.

What would you like?

This is an awful lot of money.
