which had a figure that girl
she went away, she did not walk
Janet, ben je wakker? lk ben het, Donald.
Who is there? -I am the only father.
Can not you come home at a decent time? You're waking everybody up.
It's only three hours.
You are drunk. -A Little tipsy.
Where have you been? -I have me totally misbehaving.
I'll speak to you tomorrow morning. -Not In the morning, Father.
Rather at lunch, I will not feel so good to me.
Excuse me.
Are you staying here? Yes, since last night.
Are you staying long? You know my father definitely out of the military?
Christ, fortunately.
I can do the colonel in his library research, lndian history.
How did he hit down the mutiny on his own?
A bit before that, actually. -You Should take a look at erotica.
Gods and goddesses, all knotted together like spaghetti.
Go ahead, you know. -Thank you.
Here we are, pastor. -What A wonderful room.
As a soldier, you do have to be a ninny.
I've never seen so many books. -I did not read them all.
My grandfather has the most raised.
And his grandfather sailed with the East lndia Company. It's all very old.
You leave you alone otherwise. Lunch is at half past one, you'll hear the gong.
Thank you very much, Colonel. I can hardly tell you how grateful ...
This is exactly what I wanted, great.
Good morning, I'm Patrick Floyd, the secretary of Colonel Druce.
If I can do anything for you ... That's very nice of you.
I have cataloged the collection. -I find the diaries of Peralta.
A missionary who was in the 16th century in Goa. According to the colonel, they are there.
Was he a measure of lgnatius Loyola? -No, Of St. Francis Xavier.
They are here. Hold on, I'll get down the stairs.
Boy, where are you from?
Please do careful, he bites rather quickly.
How so? He's very attached to the colonel.
He is very jealous. -I am not impressed.
Maybe you love dogs. -as Long you not the other spells.
If you 'dog' around, you get God.
Here is your book. Thank you, Mr ...
Floyd. -states What I seek.
It is said that the only other copy is in the Vatican.
I will not keep you from your work, you have the fixed pressure.
That's how it is. It looks like it will be a busy state today.
Do you mind if I phone? -Not at all.
Eyot 720.
Traill, Traill and Bendix? Mr Traill graag, de senior partner.
The secretary of Colonel Druce.
Can you ask him as soon as possible to come to Cranston Grange?
The colonel wants to change his will. Four half is fine, bye.
Eyot 341.
If this is the home of Harry Druce? The colonel's secretary.
He wanted to ask if you can come over for lunch.
Which can. All right, bye.
Are you writing a book?
A lecture on Francis Xavier actually. -really?
I have studied him. -Really?
He was a great man. 55 -1 meter.
I will not say anything, but I can not concentrate if I'm not alone.
You understand it? -Of Course, absolutely.
Can I call once?
Eyot 121.
Dr. Valentine? Can you come to the Grange and watch the gardener?
I think it's inflamed tonsils.
I can say that medical care here is excellent.
How so?
That dr. Valentine, he and the daughter of the colonel are ...
You understand ... Yes, I understand, Mr. Boyd, Floyd.
Day Dad, what are you doing? -I think.
This is the only place in the house where you can always find peace.
Donald came home very late? -At three o'clock.
That's what I was afraid of. He -made also wake you?
Unfortunately not. I apparently slept like a log.
He made two panes broken with stones.
He pays them really. -whose?
Of its grant, I think.
He was so rude to me yesterday to ask for a loan.
He has no sense of responsibility.
God knows what happens when I'm gone. I'm really worried.
It has taken 200 years to build what we have.
And your younger brother would hunt there in no time through.
You're exaggerating, Daddy. -You Are themselves almost as bad.
I gave you a good education and a decent home.
And now you want to marry a French adventurer.
Now do you really nasty. What did you do when you had pain in your chest?
'Call Dr. Valentine. " And because it's had indigestion, he sent no bill.
He wants me to spawn. He's after your money, Janet. Those are the French always.
Therefore you obviously cousin Harry asked for lunch?
What did you say?
Now that you're disappointed with your children, look at your successful cousin.
To see if it is worth it indeed. -You Talking nonsense.
Oh yeah? I know your lawyer comes. It seems as if you ...
Are you feeling okay? -Excellent, Why?
I wondered what the priest is doing here.
Are you sure?
Have you seen Susie? -I'm afraid not.
I hear you've just returned from lndia. Do you know the west coast?
I was stationed in Bombay, but I could travel much.
You had to knock down all those rebellions, huh. Those figures of the Congress and so.
They string you as their knife. -Zat You in the Army, Mr. Harry?
No, to the police. -Neef Harry retired early.
What do you mean? -Nothing.
Not everyone can withstand the climate ...
You are probably right. lndia what Harry was too hot underfoot.
Janet, as you're describing ...
Tell us again why you left there.
You will have heard of Gandhi.
He wants the British to work out. -Not In a violent manner.
He might not, but some of his followers are not as sensitive.
A few years back they attacked a police barracks on, everyone was burned.
Recently I was tipped off that they again had something planned.
So I arrested the local leader of the Congress ...
and said that if one Briton was killed, he was shot dead.
I would have done the same.
Just the rumor was not true. I had gambled and lost.
He made such a point of it that they needed a scapegoat.
I was persuaded to leave. -That's It so.
Pure luck. If it had been different, had you been given a medal.
Lunch.
Wonderful, this sherry.
Very inconsiderate of Druce. To sit in the library with that lawyer.
You can not continue your research. -I have too much curry anyway.
Why did he ask me not there before? -He Will know how he wants' t testament.
Do I trade all his things away.
Maybe he will let you post anything. Then it's a surprise.
I had not thought of it.
You should only start worrying if your witness is called.
His signature must be verified by two people.
And that may not benefit. I will be one of his.
Bank managers and priests, we are supposed to be holy ... What's that dog?
Nox, NOX. That's Latin for "night."
Ab initio erat nox. -Pardon?
ln het begin was er...
Mr. Floyd, you can come to the library?
The colonel wants you to look at his autograph.
Nou Nox, is dat even pech.
Dr. Valentine, Colonel Druce would you like to have in the library.
Of course. Excuse me, Janet.
Hello, pastor.
Good afternoon, Mr. Druce. -I made me tonight or ridiculous.
Is that so? I was too sleepy to notice it.
Where is everybody? -You Sister is engaged in the tea ...
and the rest is in the library with the lawyer, Mr. Traill.
My god ... -Hoezo?
I was afraid here ... -How are you, Donald?
I know that voice. -What are you doing here?
My job to do, one of the gardeners has a cold.
Why, Father Brown. -Kent You together?
Yes, we met long ago.
You must be of the same faith. I'll go get some aspirin.
How are you, Dr. Valentine? -who Name really suits me, huh.
Your own name was more prominent.
Who stood for tyranny. You understand why I had to change him.
With my views ... That could not.
I understand it. I hope I do not accidentally Monsieur de Villon will call.
If you do not want. -Flambeau In England, sit down.
He has made peace with the Sûreté, he is now a private detective.
Where is Mr. Traill? -In the garden, why?
Your will is not legal. -What are you saying?
One of the witnesses signed under a false name.
Nonsense, it's you and dr. Valentine.
He is not dr. Valentine. His name ... The Villon.
He might as well have a scoundrel or a crook.
Is that true, Doctor?
As far as I know, they may call themselves as they wish.
That is the law in my country and in yours.
For Americans it is different, that have no name to change.
Traill I'm here to even speak about.
Nox, kom hier.
Ready for a walk? -Fortunately Be you healthy.
It's also good for you, you look like hell. Where's my stick?
Come on, boy.
You can not kill him, Henri. -I do not let him get away with it.
I know how you feel, but no provocation can justify murder.
I think the garden chairs are here.
l was it to the address.
The gardener is sick, someone has cut the hedge.
If you're absolutely sure ... -It does not make any difference.
If I may be so bold, your secretary makes a molehill.
He tends to get others to take the work off your hands.
I let him mine certainly do not.
What haunted you out last night?
I was out to dinner, and ended up in a brothel where she gore gin poured.
Uncle Arthur was not happy.
We've had some disagreements. That's why I'm worried about the lawyer.
He would disinherit you, is that it?
I see him capable of it.
It would be nice for someone. Janet likely.
I do not know, Dad has something against the French, and by that doctor.
Let's not worry about it. Come on down to the lake.
Wait, there's something in my shoe.
Kom, Nox.
Forward.
Come on, boy. The other way, as well.
Brave boy, very good.
What time is it? -20 Four, why?
Tea is at four-thirty. -Then We do not hurry.
Who First it is more round. -Forget it.
Will you stay with the tea? I was just calling my father.
I'd love to.
You stated that you were the last person to have seen Colonel Druce alive.
Apart from the killer then. -lnderdaad.
How long were you with him in 't summerhouse? -A Ten minutes, sir.
What time did you leave? -Even For four hours 30.
Four hours 30. Can anyone confirm that?
Yes, Miss Druce. She came to me when she came out of the house.
And Mr. Floyd, the secretary, was working in the garden.
So everyone who came out to the summer house, has been seen by three people:
Yourself, Miss Druce and Mr. Floyd. -That Would think so.
It has only one exit.
Behind a hedge, and flowerbeds make is untouched.
How can anyone unseen in or out gone?
It is also possible that he was already dead to you left the summerhouse.
You mean I killed him? For what reason?
We come to your possible motives.
I now focus on the ability and the type of weapon that was used.
According to dr. Valentine, who examined the body ...
it was thus a knife, likely to be of metal.
But my people have nowhere in the garden can find something.
"Can t be hidden in so many places. -No doubt.
You wear an interesting strikpen.
How long should we wait?
The inspector wants us one by one speak in the library.
We would save him a lot of trouble by doing some research.
We know when he was killed. Where was anyone at that time?
I am against such amateur stuff. -It's My job.
You mean that was it. -Hoor Once ...
I say the best, I was in the winter.
Can you prove that?
I do not think so. That's annoying, I remember now.
You all have an alibi ...
someone can confirm that you were at a certain time in a certain place.
It could not have been better controlled if you knew it was gonna happen.
He is right too.
Janet went into the garden, Floyd and Mr. Traill can attest to that.
I cut the hedge, they saw me.
Harry and I were at the lake with the dog. Where were you, dr. Valentine?
I'm in the same position as pastor.
I was in the library but can not prove it. Nobody saw me there.
I've seen you there.
You were in the kitchen and prepared the tea. You do not have to lie to me.
When I went into the garden, I saw you through the window.
Perhaps you repeat what you said to Miss Druce as previously said.
Something about murder someone. -He Listened us off in the barn.
Is that true? -I will answer. Yes, it is.
Janet begged me a certain person not to bring.
That person was you, Mr. Floyd. -What Has it ...
You do not want that your sister marries a swindler.
That's how Mr. Floyd wrote me in front of your father.
If a countryman would say something like that, I would demand satisfaction.
But Americans do not honor.
How can you talk about honor, enter a name that is not even yours.
Why do you say why you left your country, Mr. De Villon?
I'm not in that rude question. Visitation, please.
Let's stick to the essentials. That's just it.
You tell it, you know apparently everything.
Certainly, and it has nothing to do with the death of the colonel.
He comes from an old family, long before the Revolution.
But he also has his principles, republican principles.
Therefore, he used his true name, namely Marquis de Villon.
Yet he is the only one without an alibi. Janet may have been mistaken.
I would think that if someone is suspicious, I did.
All I would definitely notice if I would walk on the garden path.
Dr. Valentine, Inspector Cole wants to see you again.
Janet, you know all that? -Of Course I knew.
So dad mistakenly thought he was out of money?
He was in many ways wrong, so he had his opinions.
He certainly had an opinion about me.
He was also wrong about you. -Thank You, sister, you should say that.
Miss Janet, can you show me where it's summer house?
Go not into the garden, the swarming of the agents.
You can see it well from the terrace.
We do not shoot very much, is not it.
It is a story where the corpse lay in a locked room.
And a murder weapon is not there.
I know there is one. -Then what?
What happened after Miss Druce found the body?
She screamed, dr. Valentine came running and went into the summer house.
What did Dr. Valentine then?
He examined the body, and said he was stabbed in the back.
How did he know? -He Cut the clothes loose and saw the wound.
That he cut them loose? -A Scalpel out of his bag.
The colonel was dead when Janet found him?
You mean, Valentine could have killed him later when he examined him.
He had that scalpel may stabbing in his heart.
What did keep the Colonel on the floor, siesta?
That makes no sense. Maybe he had fainted.
Miss Janet saw the blood behind the white jacket. Therefore, she screamed.
You have said that the wound was about 12.5 centimeters deep.
That's right.
Could he have been created by this object?
It is possible.
Where is it found? -In the shed.
As you can see, there is a trail of blood in this area.
Agent, ask Mr. Floyd to enter.
What are they doing now? -They Still looking around.
Nox tried to help by some rooting around, eh?
Have they found anything?
I suddenly remember that he is the only witness that is not questioned.
He was with us at the lake. -But He knew.
It's so. I asked what time it was, you said 20 about four.
We went to the lake, threw some sticks in it for Nox and so.
You walked with him along the way. He suddenly stopped playing ...
and went to sit side wail. That was the time of the murder.
How can that ... -It has happened.
He was wailing on the side, and a moment later we heard you scream.
You know how he and dad understood each other without talking.
Just telepathy. I'm sure Nox knew there was something bad happened.
I just remembered something else.
Remember when we went into the garden? What was the first thing you saw?
Janet who stood at the door of the summerhouse.
Daar lag papa. -Wie was er nog meer?
Floyd stood on the steps of the hedge trimmer, Traill was in the park ...
What did Nox? Yeah, now I remember.
Once he saw Traill he barked, as if to show that he hates him.
Traill immediately ran into the house. -So The dog rat on him?
No meteor flew through the air?
There was no flash of light from the sky pointing to Traill?
Why do not you watched his guts?
That is what you do when you can be guided by your silly superstition.
What a complete nonsense, dogs ... What have I said now, Father?
The dog was to be whining. -He Also barked.
They do, yes. But it is not part of a real process.
Maybe he's psychic. -Maybe The moon or of cheese.
Then I'm just weird, he just knows who has slain my father.
If he could talk, he'd tell you. Honey anyway.
Miss Janet, as a dog person must not, what does he do usually?
They growl. -And To Mr. Traill he barked.
I admit, he also barks at Floyd.
What could they have in common? Nothing, as far as I can see.
Mr. Traill is very nervous, he smiles and frowns for no apparent reason ...
and is always just that snare. And Mr. Floyd is also a neurotic.
That's why he cut his finger when Miss Janet screamed.
Is it no one noticed? He has a bandage around it.
He had not before. -What Has to do with the dog?
Dogs do not like nervous people, and vice versa.
Therefore, they snap at each other, but that says nothing.
We know that the dog barked and he ran away.
But the dog barked because he do not like him and the man was frightened and ran away.
That was not because the dog would catch him ...
or as a mouthpiece of divine justice served.
Mr. Traill ran for Nox, not the hangman.
If Mr. Traill killed my father, tell me who did.
I am inclined to think that the disappearance of the murder weapon ...
That this strange disappearance makes the motive unclear.
Few people killing because they like it.
I think it happened because the colonel wanted to change his will.
I'm not clairvoyant, I heard the secretary say.
But we do not know what he has changed.
Traill says nothing, perhaps by order of the policeman.
And we do not know how it was before the change.
That does not seem so difficult.
Originally it was that everything would go to me.
We could not find so good anymore, so I think he wanted to cancel me.
Right, but that means that you have a reason, right?
What is the point to him even after the change to bring?
In revenge? -I Refuse to believe.
You know Donald is not as good as me, it is really impossible.
It would help if we knew who he wanted to bequeath his money.
I thought myself that Harry would be.
It was weird covers to make him come after arguing with me and father.
And to get the lawyer.
We will not know it is read for the will.
As long as we do not have to wait.
Dad has just told me what he was planning.
He found Donald is not the right person to show after his money.
So he decided to leave everything to me.
After everything he said about that French adventurer?
Too bad you can not Henri, but he is not.
He does not need the The Villons are very rich.
He can not stand girls with money. -Jammer Which he has one.
That is not so, I love him too much to make that mistake.
As soon as I knew it, I decided to give everything away.
Nice is that.
You do not understand, I give it all to you.
I can do nothing more here. Everybody has made a statement ...
and we have the house and grounds thoroughly searched.
Various weapons have been examined and found it not to be.
I'll be right there, then I will report.
Excuse me, I did not disturb you. I thought you left.
That's right. -I came to get a book.
I may borrow Miss Druce. This afternoon I'm going to London.
I'm sorry, not allowed to leave the house or premises.
I had not yet figured out. -What do you mean?
That the murder weapon bundling religious memoirs could be.
Let everything but to us.
I suppose I should go to London? -We Have your address.
Have a nice day.
Fortunately, they do not mess made from here. You should see the garden.
They have all borders and the pavement turned up.
We will now have to arrange the funeral.
Will there be an inquest? -I'm afraid so.
I really should wear something black.
Wacht even, Miss Janet.
Can you go with me to the summer house? You do not have to.
You just have to sit in the seat of your father.
Then I go Nox and a walk.
Maybe he can still tell us something.
I want here as soon as possible. -I like to bring you to the station.
No thank you, I prefer to go by bus.
I did not like him. -How Uncle came to him?
Not out of a café in every case. He told my father that I was always in the oil.
Why do not you stay? That's very nice.
It is quite slippery outside, can I borrow one of these?
Of course. Van Bel hiking, pastor?
I can also use some exercise, let's all go.
A strange collection, no?
He took them from anywhere. One he received from a chief of an African tribe.
Ebony that I like it. He's heavy.
What are you doing, Harry?
I thought, as I still am outside I can shoot something. Do you mind?
No, why would I? -It Is now more or less your estate.
Jachtpatronen? -ln die doos.
So many wild is not there, maybe some wild ducks.
Dank u.
See you later.
Did you come this way? -lnderdaad.
You did not go to the lake? -It Than this we did not come.
That's strange, what from the garden hedge that is very thick.
But he is actually quite thin, look.
It is going to rain.
You can look through it, you see the back of the summerhouse.
You can also look through that, it's a grid. Do you see something white?
That will be the chair. No, someone sitting in the chair.
A wicker chair with holes in it. Someone who has something white on.
Dad had a white jacket. -This Is what did the killer.
A small white spot, a goal. And very close.
And he has suddenly decided to attack.
Excuse me, Miss Janet. -Papa Was already dead when Harry and I ...
He can not ... The lawyer said ...
We went to about four to 20 't anymore. -How do you know that?
I had no watch and asked Harry. Do you remember Harry?
The tea was at half past five, so we had another ten minutes.
I think it almost half was five.
I think your sister was on his way to call your father ...
and I think the colonel was already dead.
You mean murdered one of our dad? We were always together.
We passed the hedge and then went right on the lake off. I'll show you.
I stood there and threw sticks into the water. When Harry joined them.
I thought you said he was with you all the time.
Wait, I remember that I cried. That was when I asked what time it was.
Harry had a pebble in his shoe, he paused.
You stayed there for a moment, and then you decided to take a gamble, is not it Mr. Harry?
You like gambling, that's why you lost your job in lndia.
You were wrong and it cost you your appointment.
This time you was wrong, and it cost Colonel Druce life.
What an interesting theory. -You Knew it was testament changed.
There was a good chance that it was changed in your favor.
The only thing standing between you and a great legacy, was that white piece of cloth.
So you decided to take a chance.
Will you tell us how it went?
I'll wait until Nox tells us. -I thought you said ...
Dogs can tell us a lot, if we but listen on their way.
They are limited, they are creatures of habit.
Where were you when Janet guild? -Daar, I have to show it?
Kom mee, Nox.
Nox wants to play with sticks, and I'm the only one that has one.
Harry had a stick. -I thought so.
How did you know? -Dogs Love to play.
They are creatures of habit ...
sticks are there to throw into the water and retrieve.
What would happen if I throw it in the lake?
Nox would go get him ... -We try.
Kom mee, Nox.
Please, go and get it.
Is that what happened? -Griezelig Simply.
If you were a dog, you would do exactly the same.
Why? -Because He can not find the stick.
And he can not find him because he is ebony.
That's why I chose that out from the umbrella stand.
That wood is heavier than water. He is now on the bottom, at the other.
Which others? -who That your father was murdered.
No walking stick, but a long, thin sword cane.
A steel blade that pulls out a wooden shaft.
ln lndia you see them a lot, the colonel had a solid.
Harry had been able to restore, then no one had seen it.
On the other hand, it was safer to destroy the evidence.
