it queer.
But that’s all I thought.
But now see for yourself,
there’s only eight!
Only eight.
Do you really think what you
said at breakfast, Miss Brent?
What do you mean?
Do you really think that Rogers
and his wife did away with that old lady?
It's not my business.
But, Miss Brent, if it true…
Well, there is that Mr. Lombard.
He admits
to having abandoned
20 men to their death.
- They were only natives…
- Black or white,
they are our brothers.
My own case…
Well, I was not going
to say anything last night.
It was not a fit subject
to discuss before gentlemen.
Beatrice Taylor was in service with me.
She was very clean and willing.
It was some time before
I found out that she was
what they call "in trouble".
Naturally I did not keep her
an hour under my roof.
Her parents were decent folk.
They did not condone her sin.
What happened to her?
The abandoned creature
committed a still graver sin.
She killed herself?
Yes, she threw herself
into the river.
What did you feel like when
you knew she’d done that?
Weren't you sorry?
Didn’t you blame yourself?
I had nothing with which
to reproach myself.
Her own action, her own sin
that was what drove her to it.
Remember: life is what
you make of it.
And the past concerns me
only as much as I want it.
Go ahead and don't look back!
I asked Rogers this morning what
this Miss Brady had suffered from.
You know, his answer
was enlightening.
I don't need to go
into medical details,
but in a certain form
of cardiac trouble,
amylnitrite is used.
When an attack comes
on an ampoule of amylnitrite
is broken and it is inhaled.
If amyl nitrite were withheld well,
the consequences might
easily be fatal.
- It must have been rather tempting.
- No arsenic,
no positive action just negation!
And, even if any one knew,
nothing could ever be proved.
There are crimes that cannot be
brought home to their perpetrators.
Instance, the Rogerses’.
Another instance, old Wargrave,
who committed his murder
strictly within the law.
Everyone knew that Seton
was innocent.
Who doesn't remember that trial?
Clearly, the judge
simply got even with him.
Wargrave murdered Edward as if
he’d stuck a stiletto through him.
I could continue with examples, doctor.
I am listening
Murder on the Operating Table.
Safe as houses!
All right, all right, there is
some truth in this accusation.
I was very hungover when
I was operating then.
You know, hands shaking,
nerves all to pieces.
Now we’re getting down to it. What’s
the real purpose of getting us all here?
What do you think?
If you tell me that
Anthony Marston,
a young bull with no nerves
and precious little brains,
got the wind up over having
moved down a couple of kids
and deliberately put himself
out of the way –
well, the idea’s laughable!
- Anthony Marston was murdered,
of course. - And Mrs. Rogers?
I could believe in Mrs. Rogers’ death
if it weren’t for Anthony Marston.
Two murdered.
And two figurines have disappeared?
The man must be a raving maniac!
There’s one thing
Mr. Owen didn’t realize.
We shall make short work
of searching it. - What do you mean?
In no time.
He’ll be dangerous.
I’ll be dangerous when
I get hold of him!
Climbs like a cat, doesn't he?
But I wouldn't trust him a yard.
Why?
Did you happen to bring a gun
along with you, doctor?
Me? Why should I?
Why did Mr. Lombard?
It's under his belt.
I suppose - habit.
It’s only in books people
carry guns
around as a matter of course.
Ah! It’s you!
Do you like sitting here
looking out to sea?
Yes, it’s pleasant.
- It’s a good place to wait.
- To wait?
What are you waiting for?
The end.
But I think you know
that, don’t you?
We’re all waiting for the end.
What do you mean?
None of us are going
to leave the island.
That’s the Mr. Owen’s plan.
You know it, of course, perfectly.
What, perhaps, you can’t…
…understand is the…
…relief!
The relief?
You see, I loved Leslie.
I loved
