1
00:01:32,767 --> 00:01:33,767
Edna dear ...
2
00:01:34,083 --> 00:01:35,763
what's wrong? Come on in!
3
00:01:36,433 --> 00:01:38,933
May I speak with you
for a while if you please?
4
00:01:39,017 --> 00:01:45,517
Of course, come in! Close
the door and sit down. Sit here.
5
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,520
M-m, what happened?
6
00:01:52,733 --> 00:01:54,733
I've come because of Gladys.
7
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Yes?
She lost her place.
8
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Oh, it's sad to hear. Did
she serve the Misses Skinners?
9
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:10,210
That's right, ma’am. Gladys
is completely in shambles.
10
00:02:11,233 --> 00:02:13,967
Oh, but Gladys
changed places rather often.
11
00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:21,150
Yes, that's how it is, ma’am. She is one of those
who always switch places and seek change, you see?
12
00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:29,733
But she always quit the jobs by her own choice.
13
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,800
So it's different now for the first time?
14
00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:38,450
Yes, that's why she's so extremely upset, you see?
15
00:02:39,483 --> 00:02:43,131
It happened when one of Miss
Emily's brooches disappeared
16
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:46,150
and such trouble
never happened before.
17
00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:47,730
Surely, who will like such
a brooch in the first place?
18
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,100
Gladys helped to look everywhere she could
19
00:02:51,483 --> 00:02:55,483
and Miss Lavinia said that she's
going to police station to report it.
20
00:02:55,867 --> 00:03:00,867
However, halfway there, she decided to return. Her
dresser's drawer was opened and the brooch was there at the back.
21
00:03:00,870 --> 00:03:02,370
Gladys were thankful brooch was found
22
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:11,047
but the next day Miss Lavinia said
that someone had broken the drawer lock,
23
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:15,631
so she rushed to Gladys and demanded her to quit her job.
24
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:22,700
She thought that Gladys was scared by the possibility
of police involvement and put the brooch back.
25
00:03:28,783 --> 00:03:34,283
I suppose this is not something so bad that you can't help with?
26
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,700
Okay, but tell her not to be silly, will you?
27
00:03:38,683 --> 00:03:44,827
If she didn't take the brooch then I'm sure
she has no reason to worry about it.
28
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:48,650
But the story could spread!
29
00:03:49,583 --> 00:03:55,215
Anyway, I have to walk past them. If I stop
by then I'll have a chat with Miss Skinner.
30
00:03:55,683 --> 00:03:57,123
I'm very thankful!
31
00:05:42,883 --> 00:05:44,243
Hello, thank you.
32
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:53,583
Is Miss Lavinia in the lounge right now?
Yes.
33
00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:02,172
And Gladys… It is quite warm outside,
I'll leave my coat here. Thank you.
34
00:06:18,850 --> 00:06:22,983
I'm glad to see you. Take a seat.
Thanks.
35
00:06:47,383 --> 00:06:48,743
Emily lies in bed.
36
00:06:50,450 --> 00:06:52,130
Poor thing she feels so bad.
37
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,667
However, I hope she'll see you.
38
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,433
I'm sure it'll distract her.
39
00:07:01,483 --> 00:07:05,875
Although, there's times
she won't speak with anyone.
40
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:08,930
She's extremely patient.
41
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:14,508
Yes, if she endures her illnesses so
bravely she's surely a great person.
42
00:07:15,583 --> 00:07:19,935
I've heard that this young girl
Gladys is expected to quit soon?
43
00:07:20,217 --> 00:07:24,865
Yes, after a week on Thursday
but let's not discuss that.
44
00:07:28,033 --> 00:07:31,508
Yes, we all should get used to
things nowadays,
45
00:07:31,917 --> 00:07:35,917
it's so difficult to find a girl who
will be willing to come to the country to work.
46
00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:39,918
Do you really think, Miss Lavinia, that making
Gladys quit is a smart move?
47
00:07:40,467 --> 00:07:43,133
No, I know that it's hard with servants.
48
00:07:44,133 --> 00:07:49,133
In that case you could change your decision about Gladys, she's definitely a great girl.
49
00:07:49,150 --> 00:07:53,374
I'm familiar with all her family,
they are honest and nice people.
50
00:07:53,633 --> 00:07:55,313
I've made my decision.
51
00:07:56,650 --> 00:08:00,042
You've lost your brooch if
I've understood correctly.
52
00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:03,730
What? Did Edna tell you?
53
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:08,950
Ha, I supposed that girl herself told you
54
00:08:09,717 --> 00:08:11,450
but I'm sure she did it
55
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:14,817
and afterwards got scared and put it back!
56
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:19,546
Before stating anything you
should be completely sure about it.
57
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:23,333
Come, let's visit Emily.
58
00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:25,250
I'm sure it will do her good.
59
00:08:53,883 --> 00:08:58,883
Emily! Miss Marple came to see you.
60
00:09:16,950 --> 00:09:22,838
The worst part about being sick is that you see
how big of a burden you truly are to others.
61
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:27,833
Lavinia is so nice to me.
62
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,168
Lavinia, dear, I don't want to
be of any inconvenience to you.
63
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,608
If you could, bring me a hot
water bottle filled in the way I asked.
64
00:09:45,667 --> 00:09:48,267
If it's too full it's too heavy for me
65
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:57,549
and at the same time if it's too
light then it gets cold too quickly.
66
00:10:00,617 --> 00:10:07,457
I'm sorry, dear. Give me
the bottle, I'll fill it some more.
67
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:17,783
Gladys!
68
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:20,500
Yes, coming!
69
00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:34,750
You'll see, Gladys,
everything will be okay!
70
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:43,980
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
71
00:11:33,983 --> 00:11:34,983
Well?
72
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:39,233
It feels like the visit was fruitless.
73
00:11:42,117 --> 00:11:45,637
Yes… I heard there's a
rumour about Gladys’s stealing.
74
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:47,700
Today at the post
office Miss Wetherby
75
00:11:47,917 --> 00:11:52,437
said that the written
reference they wrote that
76
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,000
Gladys is really polite
and well-balanced.
77
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:59,950
There was nothing
about the honesty.
78
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Doesn’t it ring a bell?
79
00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:07,227
Oh, that's right.
80
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:10,308
But it's hard to find a
servant girl, for sure!
81
00:14:12,317 --> 00:14:13,997
Oh oh oh.
82
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:21,372
Miss Skinner found a new
servant through the agency.
83
00:14:27,767 --> 00:14:32,467
And if the rumours are true, then she is
the one with extremely good references.
84
00:14:32,517 --> 00:14:34,517
Ah!
85
00:15:03,050 --> 00:15:04,730
Miss Marple is coming.
86
00:15:33,533 --> 00:15:35,533
Hello! Miss…
87
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Mary
88
00:15:37,283 --> 00:15:41,183
Pleasure to meet you.
Is Miss Lavinia home?
89
00:15:41,433 --> 00:15:44,933
Yes, she is in the lounge, at
her usual place.
90
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:49,030
Thank you.
My pleasure.
91
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,236
Oh, Miss Lavinia, you
look especially good today.
92
00:16:00,467 --> 00:16:03,667
Thank you. Eh… yes, I
feel that Mary helps a lot.
93
00:16:08,650 --> 00:16:12,650
I've made the right decision
firing that other girl. Mary!
94
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,120
Yes, I'm here.
95
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,200
Thanks.
96
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,003
Mary is priceless.
97
00:16:38,817 --> 00:16:40,817
Her baking is just
perfect, please try.
98
00:16:41,550 --> 00:16:48,390
She serves quickly and keeps
our small flat spotlessly clean.
99
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:50,170
Just imagine,
100
00:16:50,667 --> 00:16:52,800
she fluffs the pillows everyday
101
00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:57,130
and is good with Emily
102
00:16:58,067 --> 00:17:01,395
She says that she's used
to serving disabled people.
103
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:03,150
Well, you two do believe in her.
104
00:17:03,567 --> 00:17:09,567
Of course, I truly believe
that my prayers were heard.
105
00:17:10,533 --> 00:17:13,933
It seems too good to me to be true.
106
00:17:13,983 --> 00:17:16,991
I… I would be a bit more
careful if I were you.
107
00:17:19,117 --> 00:17:22,189
Oh? Oh no… I do trust
my gut feeling with that.
108
00:17:23,183 --> 00:17:26,191
. I can't imagine what I
would do without Mary.
109
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:30,268
I don't believe she would leave
even if she had time for that.
110
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:38,979
If house chores doesn't bother anymore then
the stress levels decrease, isn't it right?
111
00:17:40,817 --> 00:17:43,497
How little Edna is doing?
112
00:17:43,767 --> 00:17:47,267
Thank you, she serves quietly and
smartly, not like your Mary
113
00:17:47,283 --> 00:17:51,507
but I know everything about
her. She's a girl from our town.
114
00:18:08,367 --> 00:18:19,255
O-oh, oi! That surely was Mrs Clements’s young
boy. He sucked it and stuck it into my bag.
115
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:22,300
Could I…
Yes, I would be grateful for that.
116
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:26,700
Here.
117
00:18:26,933 --> 00:18:30,261
Oh, such a nice mirror and it
didn't break. Yes, goodnight.
118
00:19:09,067 --> 00:19:12,067
Oh yes, what is known so far
119
00:19:14,017 --> 00:19:19,801
the stolen items were 2 brooches
and 5 rings of Miss Lavinia Skinner
120
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:24,076
and 3 rings, a bracelet and a
brooch of Miss Emily Skinner.
121
00:19:25,783 --> 00:19:30,791
Mrs Deveruex lost her
diamonds and her fur coats
122
00:19:31,333 --> 00:19:37,365
Also gems and a large sum of
money was taken from Mrs Carmichael.
123
00:19:38,633 --> 00:19:40,961
Could you recall any similar
cases in your experience?
124
00:19:41,567 --> 00:19:45,167
It seems to me that 2 years ago
there was a similar case in Northumberland,
125
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,312
that time the trail went cold
and the offenders got away.
126
00:19:49,683 --> 00:19:52,683
We will do our best and
hope to do better this time.
127
00:19:53,217 --> 00:19:55,817
Do you know anything
aboutMary Higgins?
128
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,300
Yes, she disappeared into thin air.
129
00:19:58,583 --> 00:20:04,087
During the search it became apparent that
the agency that recommended her wasn’t real
130
00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:07,017
and she had all the keys from the flats.
131
00:20:07,017 --> 00:20:08,137
Anything else?
132
00:20:08,517 --> 00:20:11,037
That's all for now.
133
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:20,000
Hello
Hello
134
00:20:20,333 --> 00:20:22,013
Is Colonel Melchett here?
135
00:20:22,450 --> 00:20:23,450
No, sorry.
136
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,600
What about inspector Slack?
137
00:20:26,067 --> 00:20:29,267
He's here, thinking. But
he's busy at the moment.
138
00:20:35,917 --> 00:20:37,784
Oh, you're in a rush, I see!
139
00:20:40,983 --> 00:20:42,663
Yes, good day to you.
140
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:48,630
Please, take a seat.
141
00:20:48,733 --> 00:20:51,333
Yes, workload is crazy right
now. How can I be of help?
142
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:55,081
I've come to discuss Miss
Lavinia’s servant Gladys.
143
00:20:55,933 --> 00:20:59,533
Oh, yes-yes. Mary Higgins.
144
00:20:59,983 --> 00:21:01,983
Yes, she's her other servant,
145
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
but I'm talking about Gladys.
146
00:21:04,117 --> 00:21:08,853
She is an impertinent girl and they
were far from being satisfied with her
147
00:21:08,983 --> 00:21:11,483
It's important that everyone
would know again that she’s honest.
148
00:21:11,867 --> 00:21:14,875
I haven’t received any
accusations against her.
149
00:21:15,367 --> 00:21:20,615
Yes, I know that she wasn't accused but it
makes it even worse, do you understand?
150
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,904
Rumors fly fast. Oh, I do
speak like a crazy lady, don't I?
151
00:21:25,983 --> 00:21:29,359
What I want to say is that you
should search hard for Miss Mary.
152
00:21:30,433 --> 00:21:33,953
Yes, for sure, Miss Marple.
Do you have any suspicions?
153
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,000
Yes! Yes… I do have
some come to think of it.
154
00:21:38,550 --> 00:21:43,326
May I ask you something?
Would fingerprints be of any help?
155
00:21:45,833 --> 00:21:50,377
Miss Marple, if I understood
correctly, it was done by a professional.
156
00:21:50,550 --> 00:21:54,006
They were in either rubber
gloves or housework gloves
157
00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:56,650
and it was done so carefully that we couldn't
find any fingerprints, even the smallest ones.
158
00:21:56,983 --> 00:22:01,143
But if you could get their
fingerprints? Would it be of any help?
159
00:22:02,033 --> 00:22:04,833
Yes, we would send
them to Scottland Yard
160
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:07,300
I believe it's not their first job.
161
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:12,940
Here you go.
162
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,340
They should be satisfactory
163
00:22:20,167 --> 00:22:23,111
because Mary held
something sticky beforehand.
164
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:29,233
Did you take those for a reason?
165
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:32,300
Of course!
166
00:22:35,017 --> 00:22:39,150
You suspected her ... even then?
167
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,828
I felt that she was too good to be true.
168
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,667
I don't like those
kind of people.
169
00:22:47,467 --> 00:22:52,139
Everyone have their own faults and in the case of servants they show up quickly.
170
00:22:57,367 --> 00:22:59,300
I'm greatly thankful to you.
171
00:23:00,117 --> 00:23:08,725
We’ll send those to Scotland Yard,
we'll see what they think about this.
172
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I think about Gladys
and that brooch.
173
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Gladys didn't take that brooch
174
00:23:17,367 --> 00:23:20,759
Why did Miss Lavinia think
that Gladys was at fault?
175
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:24,205
Miss Lavinia is not
stupid, quite the opposite.
176
00:23:24,517 --> 00:23:27,517
Why did she need to get rid
of Gladys as soon as possible
177
00:23:28,483 --> 00:23:30,483
if she knew that Gladys
is such a great servant
178
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:32,867
and it's hard to find a
replacement nowadays?
179
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Also, if we take into consideration the
fact that Miss Emily is a hypochondriac
180
00:23:41,250 --> 00:23:43,550
and at the same time haven't let
anyone call her a doctor even once…
181
00:23:44,017 --> 00:23:48,017
Typically hypochondriacs love doctors
but Miss Emily didn't like them one bit.
182
00:23:52,883 --> 00:23:54,883
Yes, quite surprising, yes.
183
00:23:57,633 --> 00:24:01,533
It means you could
actually help with that, that I…
184
00:24:01,617 --> 00:24:02,617
Definitely, I mean…
185
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:11,317
Miss Lavinia and Miss Emily
seem like quite interesting people.
186
00:24:11,783 --> 00:24:15,783
Miss Emily spends days
on end in bed in a dark room
187
00:24:15,933 --> 00:24:18,941
and if her gorgeus long
hair is not a wig then
188
00:24:20,683 --> 00:24:30,683
it’s quite logical that Miss Emily is not anyone else
but black haired Miss Mary with bright red cheeks.
189
00:24:37,517 --> 00:24:45,517
I don't know anyone who saw
Miss Mary and Miss Emily together.
190
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:54,500
Miss Mary had enough time to get a copy
of every key and study how servants behave.
191
00:24:55,033 --> 00:25:05,033
Then one beautiful morning she does a small
walk around the corner and Miss Mary disappears.
192
00:25:06,250 --> 00:25:12,750
I'm telling you, inspector, you will find Miss Mary right there, in Miss Emily's bed!
193
00:25:13,817 --> 00:25:17,017
Sure, if you don't believe
me, then take the fingerprints.
194
00:25:17,017 --> 00:25:23,017
A couple of skillful scammers, that's who are Miss Emily
and Miss Lavinia but this time they wouldn't get their way
195
00:25:23,350 --> 00:25:31,350
Gladys is an honest girl and
everyone has to know. Have a nice day.
196
00:25:52,083 --> 00:25:55,083
Now inspector Slack is thinking.
