:22:00
which it was not when I paid for it.
:22:02
Through the nose.
:22:02
I stopped for one night
to see Ur of the Chaldees,
:22:03
- Send a telegram from Belgrade.
- Yes. Yes, Mr. Ratchett.
:22:05
and for three days in Baghdad
with the A.O.C.,
:22:07
What's the matter? You look tired.
:22:08
who happens to be
a friend of mine.
:22:10
- I slept badly.
- Yeah, why?
:22:10
The English Miss Debenham
also has traveled from Baghdad.
:22:14
The Belgian in the upper berth snored.
:22:15
It is possible the murder
was committed by a woman
:22:18
Really? Any other
unanswered letters on file?
:22:18
or by a man and a woman
in collaboration.
:22:22
Only the anonymous ones.
:22:23
From your acquaintanceship
with Miss Debenham,
:22:25
We can't answer those, can we?
:22:26
would you have thought
that she was
:22:28
You'd better go catch up
on your sleep...
:22:29
capable physically or emotionally or...?
:22:30
...before the Belgian gentleman
gets back to your compartment.
:22:31
- That's a bloody irregular question.
- I know, but I ask it.
:22:35
Miss Debenham is not a woman.
:22:35
Go on.
:22:40
- She's a lady.
- Which precludes her
:22:42
from being a murderess?
:22:43
Damn it,
the man was a perfect stranger.
:22:45
- She'd never seen him before.
- You feel warmly in the matter.
:22:54
I don't know what you're driving at.
:22:55
Then let us be practical
and drive at facts.
:22:57
Did you know Colonel Armstrong?
:23:01
Not to speak to.
:23:03
You see, his outfit and mine
wouldn't have mixed much.
:23:05
Hi. My name's Hardman.
:23:06
I'm Indian army.
He was British army, serving in India.
:23:08
Call me Dick.
:23:09
Royal Scots.
:23:09
- Foscarelli. Call me Gino.
- How are you?
:23:11
- How did you know?
- It was in the papers
:23:13
when he shot himself
after the kidnapping.
:23:14
Beddoes.
:23:17
Mr. Beddoes.
:23:17
Rotten show.
:23:20
Thought he'd been tougher than that.
:23:21
For the pen of a Balzac.
:23:22
After all, he got a D.S.O.
And an M.C. In France.
:23:24
For three days, all these people,
these total strangers,
:23:27
meet in a single train whose
engine controls their destiny.
:23:29
Distinguished Service Order.
:23:33
Yes, I know. We are both
envious of the husband.
:23:34
Military Cross.
:23:35
Mon colonel,
:23:37
Is...?
:23:37
Ratchett was responsible
for five deaths:
:23:39
Is the husband as British
as his tweeds?
:23:42
Oh, heaven forbid.
He's a hot-blooded Hungarian.
:23:42
The suicide
of the falsely accused maid.
:23:44
If you but look at his wife,
he will cease to be a diplomat.
:23:46
Thank God we are not young.
:23:46
The murder of the Armstrong child.
:23:51
The death of Mrs. Armstrong,
:23:54
while giving premature birth
to a stillborn baby.
:23:59
And the ultimate suicide
of Colonel Armstrong,
