1:52:02
Now, I came to various conclusions.
1:52:05
The clumsy cliché
of the smashed watch
1:52:09
registering 1:15
1:52:11
had been done deliberately
to excite my disbelief.
1:52:16
And since Mr. McQueen
had overemphatically said
1:52:20
that Ratchett spoke
no languages,
1:52:22
I was being deliberately
maneuvered into believing
1:52:25
that Ratchett was already dead
1:52:27
when a voice cried out
from his room in French.
1:52:31
In other words,
1:52:32
I was being forced
into the theory
1:52:34
that the murder was
committed before 1:15.
1:52:38
A period for which every single
one of you had an unshakable alibi.
1:52:45
But...
1:52:47
...supposing that the crime
had not been committed earlier,
1:52:52
but later than 1:15...
1:52:56
...when all the noises and incidents
1:52:58
designed to confuse me
had died down.
1:53:02
And I had lapsed into sleep
1:53:06
because the train was now silent...
1:53:10
...and at peace.
1:53:15
Silent, yes.
1:53:18
At peace, no.
1:53:21
By 2:00, the murder was afoot.
1:53:27
Envisage it.
1:53:59
For my daughter.
