Must be difficult
to land here in dirty weather.
Can’t land on Island when
there’s a southeasterly.
Sometimes this cut off
for a week or more.
My name is Lombard, Philip Lombard.
You may call me Captain Lombard.
- Vera Claythorne. - Do you know
this part of the world well?
No, never before. I haven’t ever
seen my employer yet.
- Your employer?
- Yes, I’m Mrs. Owen’s secretary.
- Isn’t that rather unusual?
- Oh, no. I don’t think so.
Her own secretary
was suddenly taken ill
and she wired to an agency
for substitute
and they sent me.
- And suppose you don’t like it?
- So what?
It’s only temporary -
a holiday post.
I’ve got a permanent job
at a girls' school.
At a matter of fact frightfully thrilled
at the prospect of seeing
Indian Island. There’s been such
a lot about it in the papers.
At first, they were saying that some
kind of American movie star bought it.
After that - millionaire Owen.
What are they like?
Tell me, please.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Mr. Owen unfortunately
delayed unable
to get here till tomorrow.
- Good start.
Instruction - everything
they wanted -
if they would like to go
to their rooms?
- Dinner would be at 8 o’clock.
- It’s late.
The house with insects.
It’s true.
Really.
- It’s impossible, Miss Brent.
- Everybody says that
and then nothing
can be done.
Let me help you.
Sorry sir, your room upstairs.
This way, please.
I hope you’ve got
everything you want, Miss?
I’m Mrs. Owen’s new secretary.
I expect you know that.
No, Miss. I don’t know anything.
Just a list of the ladies
and gentlemen
and what rooms
they were to have.
Mrs. Owen didn’t mention me?
I haven’t seen Mrs. Owen not yet.
We only came 2 days ago.
May I go?
Ten little Indian boys went out to dine...
Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self
and then  there were nine.
Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
...sat up very late;
One overslept himself
and then there were eight.
Eight little Indian boys
travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there
and then there were seven.
10 minutes ago I regretted
that I came here.
- Quaint these things, aren’t they?
- Yes, they are.
- How many are there?
- Ten there are.
One, two, three…
Possibly they are in order.
This one is a chief.
They’re 10 little Indian boys
of the nursery rhyme.
In my bedroom the rhyme
is hung up over mantelpiece.
- In mine.
- In mine too.
- In mine.
- In my room too.
I think the owner must be going
through his second childhood.
Doctor, d’you know
Constance Culmington?
I’m afraid, I don’t.
It’s of no consequence.
Very vague woman -
and practically
unreadable handwriting.
I was just wondering if I’d come
to the wrong place.
I had the same thought.
Mrs. Oliver has been lucky
to get this servant.
Oliver? Did you say Oliver?
- Yes.
- Mrs. Owen.
- I’ve never met any one called Owen.
- Ladies and gentlemen!
Silence, please!
