Did not you think it was murder?

Sorry murder?

I said my logic dictated

that it was a murder.

But my instincts tell me never ceases.

Charles knows what I mean.

If, in any case, an analysis

cup would not hurt.

Meantime..

But I ask only one thing,

keep the secret for a while.

No reason alerting the murderer, if any.

'D Hate to spoil a wonderful

party like this with the fact..

That one of your guests

is guilty of murder.

Like?

Is very good.

Is delicious.

- Is exquisite.

Mr. Poirot?

Hello.

I fear that all figured out. Ms.

Milray said missing a drink.

What were the results?

Yes, what are the results, monsieur?

Is there a murderer among us?

No, nothing unusual, madame.

The analysis confirmed that there was only.

Geneva and Vermouth in

the glass of the Reverend.

Of course I had not, it's

horrible to think those things...

We can leave, Freddie.

Miguel, take our bags.

The analysis was my idea.

I think it was a great idea.

But I did not.

Which of us suspected, Mr. Poirot?

I never thought I was a murderer.

What exactly did the doctor discovered?

Nothing...

...indicated that the death

was not from natural causes.

Do you make autopsy?

Oh. Let's Egg.

Who have imagination.

Can not take those things in your head?

Was a possibility.

What?

What one of us kill the old man?

No, I disagree.

Me neither.

Well, thanks for your hospitality, Charles.

It was nothing monotonous.

Ricardo, Are you ready?

Charles, thanks for

everything. Come and see us.

I will.

Goodbye, Daisy. Egg..

Goodbye, Egg.

I must admit I was afraid.

Me too.

Poirot, wait a minute. The neck..

Do not worry about me.

- There. Perfect. Thank you.

Oh. Poirot, Hastings,

are seen very elegant.

And you like. Thank you.

Do not you coming with us?

I'm afraid not.

I make a polite retreat, as they say.

What do you mean?

I leave. Abandonment.

What is this?

Who leaves?

I,

abandon ship as you had said.

Tomorrow, I will put the house for sale.

Sale?

Yes, I will sell my house.

If someone wants to buy the

house must go to my dear.

Miss Milray.

Do not you rush a bit, Charles?

Just because someone drops

dead in the living room?

It has nothing to do with it.

Or maybe, yeah. I do not know.

But I want to go.

Cut the ropes.

I have always been very impulsive.

Charles, flee Where do you think this time?

Wally, I will not flee

nowhere, just calm down.

Do you understand?

Good night.

Good night.

What's this about Charles?

Mademoiselle, my heart.

Is it true that Charles is going?

Do not you know, he's gone.

Oh, where?

Not know. It was all very sudden

. Very dramatic.

Surely is that Angela Stafford.

No, never.

I liked him.

I know.
