The CURSE OF the EGYPTIAN TOMB The last expedition, led for famous archaeologist sir john Willard, it will be able to reveal more mysteries of this ancient world, with the discovery of the tomb of the Egyptian king, her her Men-frog.
There will be undoubtedly rivalry between Dr.
FossWell, of the British Museum, and Dr.
Schneider, of the Museum Subway of Nova Iorque.
But what is completely between friends.
Was it worth, boys? The fear what the workers of the region they have of the curse of the tomb of three thousand years, it did not talk the sponsor out of the expedition, Felix Bleibner.
His nephew Rupert will be present in the opening of the tomb, and the secretary Nigel Harper it will photograph the opportunity.
A smile, her her Men-frog.
We are going To take some time to withdraw intact the breast, Sir John.
Swim of that, burst with him.
- They are only 5 minutes, John! - For the sake of God, Mr.
BIeibner! This breast is intact there are more than 3 thousand years.
Then, it is more than in the hour.
Gentlemen, the mortuary camera of the king Her her Men .
Dr.
Ames, fast! HE is In May.
Tragedy in the Valley of the Kings.
Scarce minutes after entering in the tomb of the Pharaoh Her her Men, the eminent archaeologist Sir john Willard had a devastating heart attack.
Rumours, according to which it was a curse of the tomb of the Pharaoh, it was considered absurdity.
- Some message, Beauty queen Lemon? - No, Mr.
Poirot.
Yes, one! Lady WiIIard phoned.
He wants surgery.
Do I know, it is not awful? It is how if something was avenging the profanation of the tomb.
- Good morning, they are á my wait.
- Between, please.
Thank you.
My son always opposes á decision of surgery.
It thinks that it is to listen to all this silliness of the curse.
But the death of my husband she was one great shock for me.
And now, my son wants to go for it Egypt to continue the work of the father.
I cannot say to Him why, but I have a bad premonition regarding expedition.
They are those Americans all, the boys of YaIe.
It seems that from the beginning they try to put itself at the front of the diggings.
Mother! You.
BIeibner finances everything, without him there is no digging.
I never trusted the FeIix BIeibner, it does not pass of a rich dilettante.
- And now also There it has the nephew.
- Alone Rupert Lá visited the uncle.
Call, Lady WiIIard, in what I Him can be a Usefulness? I second that I believe, the death of his husband it was natural.
Good Undoubtedly.
I feel very sorry, but it looks that we wasted his time.
I examined it before we came.
His heart was healthy.
But is it strange, is not it? It means, Soon in the instant in what the tomb opened I do not want to know about curse any.
I return for Nova Iorque in the fifth one.
- When it is the marriage? - Fourteen of the month that comes.
Unless here Bob the life one saves again.
- HE saved me even the life.
- To serious? I know how to save you of bad navigation, but of imminent marriages, no.
You three were joined in YaIe, was not it? My God, seems what was there are centuries! Whom do they find what is going to take office the command of the digging? That depends on your uncle.
The money is of him.
It is my impression, or would not Dr.
FossweII refuse? clear, the British Museum has of being at the front of the operations.
- And the Subway? - The modesty does not allow it to me.
Are not they hours of be laying? - Because uncle does not join us? - No.
I am with an insomnia.
Tomorrow the thumb was not one seeing? I can observe it already, Mr.
BIeibner.
Before going to bed.
It was that blow what I did the next day.
Good night, gentlemen.
Beauty queen Lemon, please between and bring paper and Pencil.
I want to order a telegram to vice-deputy Bergman, of the department of Police officer of Nova Iorque.
" " Please send all to me the biographical available material, " " relative to Rupert BIeibner, " " nephew of the wealthy one Mr.
FeIix BIeibner.
" " Fulfilment, HercuIe Poirot " ".
- He could say " "biog" ".
- How? Instead of " "biographical" ".
It could write " "biog" ".
- Does this word exist, Beauty queen Lemon? - It sounds more efficient.
I heard it once in a movie.
" " The 'biog' of the Dutch SchuItz Gives to Me, Mrs.
LongfeIIow " ".
Biographical material it serves very well, Beauty queen Lemon.
What was? It does not need to telegraph to vice-deputy Bergman.
- How so? - Telegraph to a captain Hastings.
But the captain is in the CaIifórnia.
It is of turn.
It is in Nova Iorque up to Friday.
Who is? Arthur Hastings.
- Who? - Arthur Hastings.
I am a friend of his uncle.
Good, alone an acquaintance.
Visiting asked for me.
The uncle FeIix? It was not recently to visit it to Egypt? - Did it know like it? - How? Since we know each other all Socially.
What about did it find that one? It means, Egypt.
Hot much.
Look, Mr.
Hastings Today I do not feel There very sociable.
It does not do badly, I understand.
Goodbye.
Pleasure in knowing it.
Return another day.
Tea, flakes of oat and eggs with ham.
- The eggs fried from two Sides? - No, only of one.
Two fried eggs.
- Ham canadiano? - It can be.
Thank you.
Good Lord! The FeIix BIeibner died! It died that there are three days.
I lament.
I judged what he already knew.
It was awful, a very long-suffering death.
In waste away that he went blind.
Where there is the doctor, Dr.
Ames? I Take It There.
When it took care with the legs.
When it took care with the legs! Would not it be better to wrap it up? I think that not, it is better to see what they carry forward.
Dr.
Ames, was not one giving a few instants? This is Sir Guy WiIIard, son of Sir John.
Dr.
Ames, since it passed? - And this is you.
Harper.
- Did it pass well? - You.
Schneider - Dr.
Schneider.
Sir Guy came to take office the leadership of the operations.
Dr.
Ames, I am distressed with the piece of news of the Mr.
BIeibner.
It died of septicemia.
Yes, me them as it caught it? A scratch in the thumb.
It swims from what we did it her obstructed.
- Dr.
Ames amputated the arm - Did it amputate? - Because they did not inform me? - We did not know that it was coming.
But I came.
The British Museum found that I had to lead the diggings.
But certainly the death of the Mr.
BIeibner it alters the situation.
Certainly, Dr.
Schneider.
I suggest what continues everything in same, up to á Reading of the will.
Meantime, I could show off where I stay, Dr.
FossweII.
Gentlemen Mr.
BIeibner! Mr.
BIeibner! - Central office.
- Police officer joins á.
- Was it a surprise for all? - Absolutely.
Nobody manages to understand.
There did not seem to be motive for suicide.
He was only 30 years old.
- Was he well? - They are like a pêro.
And sportsman, in addition.
Football in the faculty and a regional record of 100 meters.
And good in the golf, distinguished.
To play well the golf can be a motive for suicide, Hastings.
The man does not realize it is not at all of golf, Poirot.
Is it of what on what he was living? Even there are six months it was in Hawaii, learning hotel management.
Did it have emotional problems? Women? Not even for shadows.
He was going to get married with a beauty.
And it is and gives a shot in the head.
Though when it was visiting it, he was apathetic.
To way of the afternoon, it was still of pajamas.
It seemed that He Was not washing himself there is one week.
It is true, it was of white Gloves.
- White gloves? - Yes.
Of cotton.
- Did it have problems of money? - None, so much all that I know.
Less still, after the BIeibner die.
It would inherit millions.
Now there there is, the one who will stay now with the money? Did it leave a ticket, he knew? - No.
He did not know.
- I copied it.
" " To continue does not boo the feather.
I am a Leper, marginate one.
" " It Is better to put an end already to the life, " " of what to make suffering whom I love.
Rupert BIeibner " ".
It was with bad face to the coffee, Schneider.
- Does it grieve him here? - A little bit.
It will be done so to his arm, does it grieve him? I have that it is a constant sensation strange in the shoulders and in the neck.
- Does it cost to him to swallow? - By chance, even it costs.
It began already there are some days.
Is it how that he knows? Hassan! Yes, Dr.
Ames? I go to the British Hospital of Cairo.
Seeing if I convince them when antitoxic serum gives to me.
- When it returns? - On Friday, to drive day and night.
- Go with care.
- And Hassan It tries to phone Cairo, warning of my arrival.
Thank you.
This does not stop, Mr.
Poirot.
First, my husband.
Then, you.
BIeibner and following the nephew.
Make an effort, Lady WiIIard.
And it will be true to him, this history of the curse? Tell to me what it went on.
You.
Schneider, of the Museum Subway of Nova Iorque, be very ill, it has tetanus.
My son ordered me this telegram.
Excuse, he must think that I am a head, the superstitious one.
Not even for shadows, Lady WiIIard.
Also I believe in the power of the superstition.
It is one of the mightiest strength of the world.
And it wants what Poirot protects his son of such gallows.
Is it possible? But before, I will put the grey célulazinhas working.
- Will not it be pushing it? - clear what not.
What is he writing? I do not manage to see.
I do not realize.
It seems that it stopped.
Let's see what it was written.
I do not realize anything.
Yes, here be Ç! And L! It is not realized well.
But it is of certainty trying to communicate.
Perhaps do not be our alphabet.
It seems Arab, or so.
clear! And the king will go away Her her Men trying to communicate? - Hastings, which that wants to say? - And an interesting experience.
- A message of the king Her her Men .
- Hastings, please.
One dominates.
We have much that to do.
Tomorrow we go for Cairo.
- In Egypt, Hastings.
- I know.
And following, for the Valley of the Kings.
- It has the fractured jaw.
- Fractured? The muscles contract and they break the bones.
And cannot we do anything? It does not resist the serum.
- He must be you.
Poirot.
- Or what remains of him.
Leonardo FossweII, British Museum.
Monsieur FossweII.
Lady WiIIard warned about us.
I lament, it comes at the wrong time.
- Are they imported of sharing the tent? - clear what not.
I am Hastings.
The Lady WiIIard also he said that it was coming.
The Hassan will choose a fellaheen in order that hot water gives to you and so.
It seems very comfortable.
Call, Dr.
FossweII.
Because we came at the wrong time? - Dr.
Schneider.
- Is it ill, is not it? It is - I do not hold out already any more.
- Does not HE react? It seems to be getting worse.
- Oh my God - Who is? - The detective of my mother.
- Sir Guy It died.
And the man is absolutely sure, Dr.
Ames, of what the death of Dr.
Schneider.
was it owed to a tetanus? Absolute.
- Will not it be possible to have been a strychnine? - Strychnine?! No, Mr.
Poirot.
Nothing indicates it, tetanus was indubitavelmente.
- Did it give him antitoxic serum? - of course.
Completely what it was possible to do was done.
But already monsieur BIeibner died of another completely different thing.
You.
BIeibner was scratched in the thumb.
The wound infected and it died of septicemia.
For a Layman it will be able to seem the same thing, but they are different things.
Ask us the questions what to understand.
We are stunned with the series of tragedies, but it is not It cannot be except a coincidence.
I realize.
And the man is disposed continuing the diggings? What will happen, the work happens of my father it will continue.
I realize.
Then, we will discover exactamente what goes on.
A box of perfumes, in alabaster.
Height 20 cm, 13 cm of bottom.
Smell.
- Jasmine! - Jasmine with 3 thousand years of age.
There is how much time is interested for egiptologia, Mr.
Harper? Since I became a secretary of Mr.
BIeibner.
Almost from the faculty.
- It was in YaIe, with R.
BIeibner? - Yes, with a bag.
Love it also he was our colleague.
I attend of 1927.
That is very interesting.
There are in this expedition four persons what are known there is enough time.
Dr.
Ames, Rupert BIeibner and the man they walked in the same faculty And, it is clear, the uncle of Rupert BIeibner.
- Two died already.
- Is it trying to frighten me? You describe me.
Rupert.
I do not realize because it committed suicide.
When it here arrived, was it of good health? I judge what never made it ill seriously one day in the life.
But it was hypochondriac.
Always worried with a dorzinha or other one.
- But not in the Last time that saw it? - I Do not remember anything special.
It is true! An eczema in the hand, about what he was not stopping talking.
Boss, I will speak with you.
Right.
Good night.
I served Sir John and now I serve the son.
So, I know.
The man is wise, it is what they say.
It means The man can Deal with malignant spirits.
I plead for him, order my young master though.
There is cruelty on air than in the fence.
Good, it does not depend on me.
He is seeing Four deaths, all different ones: A cardiac stopping, a poisoning, a tetanus and a suicide.
Exactamente.
There will be nothing what could Tie the four? Something in common? Lament, I do not realize them to myself anything of this.
Then, let me speak clearer.
There will have been for part of these men - of these victims- some act that was revealing lack of respect for the soul of her her Men-frog? For the sake of God, this is completely a stratagem, he knows that very well.
This is a nonsense.
- Does not it find that possible? - No.
I do not find.
- Only I believe in what teaches the Science.
- To serious? And in was there no Science ancient Egypt? Please, do not answer me.
One says only a thing, what the workers think? If the white to lose one's head, they lose it Soon following.
I admit what be be frightened, but they have no reason for that.
Forgive for me, I - Let's take it to the tent.
- Was a brandy helping? I find that not.
I am going to lay it.
My God, poor type.
- Say when they will want other.
- Still not.
The man knew, Poirot, what the crown of flowers of the funeral ceremony it was in the ground of the vestibule when my father opened the tomb? - Amazing.
Is not it, Hastings? - Absolutely.
- How Dr.
Ames is? - It is still not well.
One Stood up already, but to be a franc, I am preoccupied by him.
I think that we are already ready.
Hoist it.
Tie it.
Good Lord! Here it lies in deep silence, from thousand years before of the siege of Large fishing net.
One raised and fell Rome.
Wars and catastrophes they transformed the world And this king here á waits, forgotten by the immense quantity of people who passed a few meters above.
- Dr.
FossweII? - Between! What beautiful moment, Dr.
FossweII! What? The privilege of being to the Side of the sarcophagus, when they opened it! I am just describing it.
- Does it do the reports of the expedition? - Of the expedition? Not even to think.
A daily report, only I Deal for Sir Andrew Çairns.
Do I can? - Knife favor.
- Thank you.
Sir Andrew Çairns? He is not the Conservative of Ancient monuments of the British Museum? Correct.
Others what they do his reports, though It does not interest.
And you.
Schneider, when it was alive, it was sending reports for the Metropolitan Museum? I suppose that yes.
I do not want to talk badly about the dead men, but only that shows his lack of qualification, is not it? When the Subway it sends someone like the Schneider Poor man.
The British Museum only would send the most graduated archaeologist.
And perhaps the future Conservative of Ancient monuments? Good There that I do not know.
There is clear what Sir Andrew if it reforms from here to two years.
And if here to be successful The Magic of the Egyptians and of the Caldeus Lie already! There is a very interesting work, now listen: " " Your daggers Could not injure me, " " not even my hands in the poison to touch; do not be able to fall in your slaughterhouse, " " since I know your names and mine heart is with Osiris " ".
- Is Poirot, felt well? - Perfectly, Hastings.
It has been walking very much in the sun and it is not got used, I eat.
I am Lovely, thank you.
What goes on with the Beauty queen Lemon? The Beauty queen Lemon? Not at all, what I know.
Now, now.
Do not put itself with that.
Up to fez spiritualism with eia.
Good, I think that it is her cat.
The one that was calling Catarina the Great one, because of sleeping in the Hearth.
But did the cat die, did not die? One feels destroyed because of that and it tries to contact it.
- It means, I think what - Look! God of the Sky! " " Defend Me of the god whose face is a dog, " " but whose it embarrasses it is that of a man.
" " What he survives in the heart of the cursed ones, " " digesting hearts human and evacuating filth " ".
" " We never see it " " What it is doing? - My party.
- Not even to think, One Stands up.
We have much that to do.
Come.
- Of who is this tent? - Of Dr.
Ames.
It will be of watching, while I do the search.
Does it look?! That one not Poirot! - Well, well, well - How? Does one already feel better, Dr.
Ames? - Was my wait á? - No, no.
It was á wait was of the Poirot.
By chance did not he see it? I do not know where if it put.
Poirot! - Cannot I enter? - What? - I want to enter in my tent.
- Is it his tent? I had not noticed.
The best, the tents.
Are not they? Please, captain Hastings! - Poirot is too much! - Regarde, sand on the whole Side.
Love it that he must think that I am an accomplished idiot.
- Is there no immense sand in Belgium? - In Brussels, no.
Is it There? Does beauty queen Lemon, hear? I discovered the lawyer of the Mr.
BIeibner.
I spoke with him Only an instant, please, Beauty queen Lemon.
Did he say what it should link Read the will? Bon, which he was saying There? Yes, yes " "Cigarette case" ", Beauty queen Lemon? I think that it was a departure, Mr.
Poirot.
I realize.
Continue, please.
Thank you, Beauty queen Lemon.
Au revoir.
Do they want money? Only to behave well.
I am almost volunteering here to be.
- Why? - To learn archaeology.
Does not it feel the fascination? It plants vines in the desert.
To probe heart of a lost civilization.
My tisane.
Thank you, Hassan.
In the mesinha of head, please.
Thank you.
But he wanted that the fact was that this case it was advancing.
I come thinking that they was alone three natural deaths and a suicide.
What it finds, Poirot? Not even it seems to the man to have a theory.
Or does it have? My God, Poirot! Dr.
Ames! It is the Poirot, fast! - Hastings, which was? - The Poirot.
Patient.
Killed.
I do not know.
Tea of camomile.
Do not leave the Hassan to go out from the camp.
It still has pulsation.
- What goes on? - The Poirot fainted.
The one that smells Him? - The almond.
- Cyanide.
What I, fortunately, did not drink.
Thank you, Hastings.
While my good friend Hastings it asked help, I was of use to pour the content of the glass in this frasquinho.
Frasquinho that goes straightly for chemical analysis.
The first death does not need of appearing in our calculations, except for a motive.
The natural death of his father, Sir Guy, it was what it gave to a murderer the idea.
How much more deaths were taking place, more everyone would speak in the curse of her her Men-frog; and less everyone would look to know the truth.
And knots to judge what was so superstitious like others.
My intention was this.
It wanted to give to a murderer a sensation of security, until I am ready.
That I got.
The murderer thought what with a sustozinho it was putting us escaping for England, to me and to Hastings.
It found that this cheap trick it would be effective, more non.
It was having to take it acting.
And I do then a thing what so much frightened it, what it links includes me in his victims' List.
And what I did, what so much it frightened our murderer, the fez to go out from the hole and to try to poison me? Let's return to the first murder It of the Mr.
FeIix BIeibner.
Are not they hours of be laying? I tried to realize who would like to kill you.
FeIix BIeibner.
Alors, he was riquíssimo.
Because I deducted to be his heir and nephew, you.
Rupert BIeibner.
But not.
You.
Rupert BIeibner committed suicide before knowing of the death of the uncle.
Because following he wanted to know because you would like.
Rupert BIeibner to put an end to the life? He were young, happy and succeeded well.
He had not thought in dying, it had not even done will.
I never realized because one killed.
And however, Dr.
FossweII, he said it to us very clearly in the ticket that left us.
It was so clear, what we judged what he was speaking metaphorically.
It wrote, or did not write: " " I Am a Leper and one marginate.
" " It Is better to put an end already to the life, of what to make suffering who I love " ".
Be of use getting married And it plants vines one succeeded well and happy.
You.
Rupert Bleiner was thinking what was condemned.
It was judging what had Leprosy.
In the Last days of life it wore Gloves to hide the symptoms.
- And because it was judging what had it? - Because they said it to him.
And it had motive to believe that yes.
He had survived some time in Hawaii, where the disease is endemic.
And in Hawaii he will have learnt of the oil of chaumugra.
He will not have heard of more modern medicines, but of the oil of chaumugra heard, of certainty.
And what is the oil of chaumugra? The oil of chaumugra was once upon a time the Only one treatment of the Leprosy.
But in this case, it hardly served to convince Rupert BIeibner of which it had Leprosy.
Me them as it is that he knows? He knew, Hastings, because I stole oil of chaumugra to a murderer.
HercuIe Poirot discovered his secret.
What I whisper? But what is this? You.
Rupert BIeibner it had with Dr.
Ames, with a Light case of eczema.
Dr.
Ames diagnosed Leprosy and the poor person Rupert only found an exit in the death.
But that it plays the fool! Because he would want that he was killing himself? He was my friend.
We walked joined in the faculty.
The lawyers of the Mr.
Rupert BIeibner they have a leaf of paper.
Old woman and creased.
Written in the time of the faculty, perhaps during a binge.
But the handwriting it is that of the Mr.
Rupert BIeibner.
He says the next thing: " " The Last will and the will of Rupert BIeibner.
" " I Leave the cigarette case - what he so much likes- " " and everything what it has á hour of the death, " " to my friendly darling Robert Ames, what once saved me of drown " ".
He is seeing, Dr.
Ames, the man knew that when you.
FeIix BIeibner was dying, the fortune would be for his heir and nephew, you.
Rupert BIeibner.
But if you.
Rupert BIeibner it was dying Very well, do not be brought near.
All of you! Release me! Set me free! It already has three deaths in the conscience.
Does not it think that it arrives already? But Dr.
Ames.
it did not kill my husband.
No, Lady WiIIard.
The death of his husband, Sir John, it was natural.
The Only deaths that were interesting to Dr.
Ames they were those of the Mr.
BIeibner, of septicemia inoculated in the cut for Dr.
Ames himself; and that of the Mr.
Rupert BIeibner, to whom Dr.
Ames Levou to the suicide, convincing it of what it had Leprosy.
- And Dr.
Schneider? - In fact, Dr.
Ames injected in the poor person the bacillus of the tetanus, only to reinforce the theory of the curse of her her Men-frog.
The man was brilhantíssimo.
- Goodbye.
- Sir Guy - I return tomorrow for the Valley of the Kings.
- This time, with my blessing.
- Felicidades.
- The best, mother.
Up to á sight.
Was beauty queen Lemon, doing the favor of entering? Besides resolving this case, very difficult, Hastings and I brought one to him prendinha of the tomb of her her Men-frog.
Of the tomb?! Hei there! It is very similar with the cat when Her her Men was preferred of the king.
buried together with him, to keep him company in his Longuíssima journey.
It is Lovely! Be laid today with him in the hand and the Catarina the Great one it will visit it during the night.
Mr.
Poirot, very much thank you.
I do not know how it has courage of telling to Him so many stratagem.
It is not a stratagem, Hastings.
It is, how said á Lady WiIIard in the beginning of the case, the power of the superstition it is a very strong power.
The only one of seven wonders of the world that survived.
The CURSE OF the EGYPTIAN TOMB The last expedition, led for famous archaeologist sir john Willard, it will be able to reveal more mysteries of this ancient world, with the discovery of the tomb of the Egyptian king, her her Men-frog.
There will be undoubtedly rivalry between Dr.
FossWell, of the British Museum, and Dr.
Schneider, of the Museum Subway of Nova Iorque.
But what is completely between friends.
Was it worth, boys? The fear what the workers of the region they have of the curse of the tomb of three thousand years, it did not talk the sponsor out of the expedition, Felix Bleibner.
His nephew Rupert will be present in the opening of the tomb, and the secretary Nigel Harper it will photograph the opportunity.
A smile, her her Men-frog.
We are going To take some time to withdraw intact the breast, Sir John.
Swim of that, burst with him.
- They are only 5 minutes, John! - For the sake of God, Mr.
BIeibner! This breast is intact there are more than 3 thousand years.
Then, it is more than in the hour.
Gentlemen, the mortuary camera of the king Her her Men .
Dr.
Ames, fast! HE is In May.
Tragedy in the Valley of the Kings.
Scarce minutes after entering in the tomb of the Pharaoh Her her Men, the eminent archaeologist Sir john Willard had a devastating heart attack.
Rumours, according to which it was a curse of the tomb of the Pharaoh, it was considered absurdity.
- Some message, Beauty queen Lemon? - No, Mr.
Poirot.
Yes, one! Lady WiIIard phoned.
He wants surgery.
Do I know, it is not awful? It is how if something was avenging the profanation of the tomb.
- Good morning, they are á my wait.
- Between, please.
Thank you.
My son always opposes á decision of surgery.
It thinks that it is to listen to all this silliness of the curse.
But the death of my husband she was one great shock for me.
And now, my son wants to go for it Egypt to continue the work of the father.
I cannot say to Him why, but I have a bad premonition regarding expedition.
They are those Americans all, the boys of YaIe.
It seems that from the beginning they try to put itself at the front of the diggings.
Mother! You.
BIeibner finances everything, without him there is no digging.
I never trusted the FeIix BIeibner, it does not pass of a rich dilettante.
- And now also There it has the nephew.
- Alone Rupert Lá visited the uncle.
Call, Lady WiIIard, in what I Him can be a Usefulness? I second that I believe, the death of his husband it was natural.
Good Undoubtedly.
I feel very sorry, but it looks that we wasted his time.
I examined it before we came.
His heart was healthy.
But is it strange, is not it? It means, Soon in the instant in what the tomb opened I do not want to know about curse any.
I return for Nova Iorque in the fifth one.
- When it is the marriage? - Fourteen of the month that comes.
Unless here Bob the life one saves again.
- HE saved me even the life.
- To serious? I know how to save you of bad navigation, but of imminent marriages, no.
You three were joined in YaIe, was not it? My God, seems what was there are centuries! Whom do they find what is going to take office the command of the digging? That depends on your uncle.
The money is of him.
It is my impression, or would not Dr.
FossweII refuse? clear, the British Museum has of being at the front of the operations.
- And the Subway? - The modesty does not allow it to me.
Are not they hours of be laying? - Because uncle does not join us? - No.
I am with an insomnia.
Tomorrow the thumb was not one seeing? I can observe it already, Mr.
BIeibner.
Before going to bed.
It was that blow what I did the next day.
Good night, gentlemen.
Beauty queen Lemon, please between and bring paper and Pencil.
I want to order a telegram to vice-deputy Bergman, of the department of Police officer of Nova Iorque.
" " Please send all to me the biographical available material, " " relative to Rupert BIeibner, " " nephew of the wealthy one Mr.
FeIix BIeibner.
" " Fulfilment, HercuIe Poirot " ".
- He could say " "biog" ".
- How? Instead of " "biographical" ".
It could write " "biog" ".
- Does this word exist, Beauty queen Lemon? - It sounds more efficient.
I heard it once in a movie.
" " The 'biog' of the Dutch SchuItz Gives to Me, Mrs.
LongfeIIow " ".
Biographical material it serves very well, Beauty queen Lemon.
What was? It does not need to telegraph to vice-deputy Bergman.
- How so? - Telegraph to a captain Hastings.
But the captain is in the CaIifórnia.
It is of turn.
It is in Nova Iorque up to Friday.
Who is? Arthur Hastings.
- Who? - Arthur Hastings.
I am a friend of his uncle.
Good, alone an acquaintance.
Visiting asked for me.
The uncle FeIix? It was not recently to visit it to Egypt? - Did it know like it? - How? Since we know each other all Socially.
What about did it find that one? It means, Egypt.
Hot much.
Look, Mr.
Hastings Today I do not feel There very sociable.
It does not do badly, I understand.
Goodbye.
Pleasure in knowing it.
Return another day.
Tea, flakes of oat and eggs with ham.
- The eggs fried from two Sides? - No, only of one.
Two fried eggs.
- Ham canadiano? - It can be.
Thank you.
Good Lord! The FeIix BIeibner died! It died that there are three days.
I lament.
I judged what he already knew.
It was awful, a very long-suffering death.
In waste away that he went blind.
Where there is the doctor, Dr.
Ames? I Take It There.
When it took care with the legs.
When it took care with the legs! Would not it be better to wrap it up? I think that not, it is better to see what they carry forward.
Dr.
Ames, was not one giving a few instants? This is Sir Guy WiIIard, son of Sir John.
Dr.
Ames, since it passed? - And this is you.
Harper.
- Did it pass well? - You.
Schneider - Dr.
Schneider.
Sir Guy came to take office the leadership of the operations.
Dr.
Ames, I am distressed with the piece of news of the Mr.
BIeibner.
It died of septicemia.
Yes, me them as it caught it? A scratch in the thumb.
It swims from what we did it her obstructed.
- Dr.
Ames amputated the arm - Did it amputate? - Because they did not inform me? - We did not know that it was coming.
But I came.
The British Museum found that I had to lead the diggings.
But certainly the death of the Mr.
BIeibner it alters the situation.
Certainly, Dr.
Schneider.
I suggest what continues everything in same, up to á Reading of the will.
Meantime, I could show off where I stay, Dr.
FossweII.
Gentlemen Mr.
BIeibner! Mr.
BIeibner! - Central office.
- Police officer joins á.
- Was it a surprise for all? - Absolutely.
Nobody manages to understand.
There did not seem to be motive for suicide.
He was only 30 years old.
- Was he well? - They are like a pêro.
And sportsman, in addition.
Football in the faculty and a regional record of 100 meters.
And good in the golf, distinguished.
To play well the golf can be a motive for suicide, Hastings.
The man does not realize it is not at all of golf, Poirot.
Is it of what on what he was living? Even there are six months it was in Hawaii, learning hotel management.
Did it have emotional problems? Women? Not even for shadows.
He was going to get married with a beauty.
And it is and gives a shot in the head.
Though when it was visiting it, he was apathetic.
To way of the afternoon, it was still of pajamas.
It seemed that He Was not washing himself there is one week.
It is true, it was of white Gloves.
- White gloves? - Yes.
Of cotton.
- Did it have problems of money? - None, so much all that I know.
Less still, after the BIeibner die.
It would inherit millions.
Now there there is, the one who will stay now with the money? Did it leave a ticket, he knew? - No.
He did not know.
- I copied it.
" " To continue does not boo the feather.
I am a Leper, marginate one.
" " It Is better to put an end already to the life, " " of what to make suffering whom I love.
Rupert BIeibner " ".
It was with bad face to the coffee, Schneider.
- Does it grieve him here? - A little bit.
It will be done so to his arm, does it grieve him? I have that it is a constant sensation strange in the shoulders and in the neck.
- Does it cost to him to swallow? - By chance, even it costs.
It began already there are some days.
Is it how that he knows? Hassan! Yes, Dr.
Ames? I go to the British Hospital of Cairo.
Seeing if I convince them when antitoxic serum gives to me.
- When it returns? - On Friday, to drive day and night.
- Go with care.
- And Hassan It tries to phone Cairo, warning of my arrival.
Thank you.
This does not stop, Mr.
Poirot.
First, my husband.
Then, you.
BIeibner and following the nephew.
Make an effort, Lady WiIIard.
And it will be true to him, this history of the curse? Tell to me what it went on.
You.
Schneider, of the Museum Subway of Nova Iorque, be very ill, it has tetanus.
My son ordered me this telegram.
Excuse, he must think that I am a head, the superstitious one.
Not even for shadows, Lady WiIIard.
Also I believe in the power of the superstition.
It is one of the mightiest strength of the world.
And it wants what Poirot protects his son of such gallows.
Is it possible? But before, I will put the grey célulazinhas working.
- Will not it be pushing it? - clear what not.
What is he writing? I do not manage to see.
I do not realize.
It seems that it stopped.
Let's see what it was written.
I do not realize anything.
Yes, here be Ç! And L! It is not realized well.
But it is of certainty trying to communicate.
Perhaps do not be our alphabet.
It seems Arab, or so.
clear! And the king will go away Her her Men trying to communicate? - Hastings, which that wants to say? - And an interesting experience.
- A message of the king Her her Men .
- Hastings, please.
One dominates.
We have much that to do.
Tomorrow we go for Cairo.
- In Egypt, Hastings.
- I know.
And following, for the Valley of the Kings.
- It has the fractured jaw.
- Fractured? The muscles contract and they break the bones.
And cannot we do anything? It does not resist the serum.
- He must be you.
Poirot.
- Or what remains of him.
Leonardo FossweII, British Museum.
Monsieur FossweII.
Lady WiIIard warned about us.
I lament, it comes at the wrong time.
- Are they imported of sharing the tent? - clear what not.
I am Hastings.
The Lady WiIIard also he said that it was coming.
The Hassan will choose a fellaheen in order that hot water gives to you and so.
It seems very comfortable.
Call, Dr.
FossweII.
Because we came at the wrong time? - Dr.
Schneider.
- Is it ill, is not it? It is - I do not hold out already any more.
- Does not HE react? It seems to be getting worse.
- Oh my God - Who is? - The detective of my mother.
- Sir Guy It died.
And the man is absolutely sure, Dr.
Ames, of what the death of Dr.
Schneider.
was it owed to a tetanus? Absolute.
- Will not it be possible to have been a strychnine? - Strychnine?! No, Mr.
Poirot.
Nothing indicates it, tetanus was indubitavelmente.
- Did it give him antitoxic serum? - of course.
Completely what it was possible to do was done.
But already monsieur BIeibner died of another completely different thing.
You.
BIeibner was scratched in the thumb.
The wound infected and it died of septicemia.
For a Layman it will be able to seem the same thing, but they are different things.
Ask us the questions what to understand.
We are stunned with the series of tragedies, but it is not It cannot be except a coincidence.
I realize.
And the man is disposed continuing the diggings? What will happen, the work happens of my father it will continue.
I realize.
Then, we will discover exactamente what goes on.
A box of perfumes, in alabaster.
Height 20 cm, 13 cm of bottom.
Smell.
- Jasmine! - Jasmine with 3 thousand years of age.
There is how much time is interested for egiptologia, Mr.
Harper? Since I became a secretary of Mr.
BIeibner.
Almost from the faculty.
- It was in YaIe, with R.
BIeibner? - Yes, with a bag.
Love it also he was our colleague.
I attend of 1927.
That is very interesting.
There are in this expedition four persons what are known there is enough time.
Dr.
Ames, Rupert BIeibner and the man they walked in the same faculty And, it is clear, the uncle of Rupert BIeibner.
- Two died already.
- Is it trying to frighten me? You describe me.
Rupert.
I do not realize because it committed suicide.
When it here arrived, was it of good health? I judge what never made it ill seriously one day in the life.
But it was hypochondriac.
Always worried with a dorzinha or other one.
- But not in the Last time that saw it? - I Do not remember anything special.
It is true! An eczema in the hand, about what he was not stopping talking.
Boss, I will speak with you.
Right.
Good night.
I served Sir John and now I serve the son.
So, I know.
The man is wise, it is what they say.
It means The man can Deal with malignant spirits.
I plead for him, order my young master though.
There is cruelty on air than in the fence.
Good, it does not depend on me.
He is seeing Four deaths, all different ones: A cardiac stopping, a poisoning, a tetanus and a suicide.
Exactamente.
There will be nothing what could Tie the four? Something in common? Lament, I do not realize them to myself anything of this.
Then, let me speak clearer.
There will have been for part of these men - of these victims- some act that was revealing lack of respect for the soul of her her Men-frog? For the sake of God, this is completely a stratagem, he knows that very well.
This is a nonsense.
- Does not it find that possible? - No.
I do not find.
- Only I believe in what teaches the Science.
- To serious? And in was there no Science ancient Egypt? Please, do not answer me.
One says only a thing, what the workers think? If the white to lose one's head, they lose it Soon following.
I admit what be be frightened, but they have no reason for that.
Forgive for me, I - Let's take it to the tent.
- Was a brandy helping? I find that not.
I am going to lay it.
My God, poor type.
- Say when they will want other.
- Still not.
The man knew, Poirot, what the crown of flowers of the funeral ceremony it was in the ground of the vestibule when my father opened the tomb? - Amazing.
Is not it, Hastings? - Absolutely.
- How Dr.
Ames is? - It is still not well.
One Stood up already, but to be a franc, I am preoccupied by him.
I think that we are already ready.
Hoist it.
Tie it.
Good Lord! Here it lies in deep silence, from thousand years before of the siege of Large fishing net.
One raised and fell Rome.
Wars and catastrophes they transformed the world And this king here á waits, forgotten by the immense quantity of people who passed a few meters above.
- Dr.
FossweII? - Between! What beautiful moment, Dr.
FossweII! What? The privilege of being to the Side of the sarcophagus, when they opened it! I am just describing it.
- Does it do the reports of the expedition? - Of the expedition? Not even to think.
A daily report, only I Deal for Sir Andrew Çairns.
Do I can? - Knife favor.
- Thank you.
Sir Andrew Çairns? He is not the Conservative of Ancient monuments of the British Museum? Correct.
Others what they do his reports, though It does not interest.
And you.
Schneider, when it was alive, it was sending reports for the Metropolitan Museum? I suppose that yes.
I do not want to talk badly about the dead men, but only that shows his lack of qualification, is not it? When the Subway it sends someone like the Schneider Poor man.
The British Museum only would send the most graduated archaeologist.
And perhaps the future Conservative of Ancient monuments? Good There that I do not know.
There is clear what Sir Andrew if it reforms from here to two years.
And if here to be successful The Magic of the Egyptians and of the Caldeus Lie already! There is a very interesting work, now listen: " " Your daggers Could not injure me, " " not even my hands in the poison to touch; do not be able to fall in your slaughterhouse, " " since I know your names and mine heart is with Osiris " ".
- Is Poirot, felt well? - Perfectly, Hastings.
It has been walking very much in the sun and it is not got used, I eat.
I am Lovely, thank you.
What goes on with the Beauty queen Lemon? The Beauty queen Lemon? Not at all, what I know.
Now, now.
Do not put itself with that.
Up to fez spiritualism with eia.
Good, I think that it is her cat.
The one that was calling Catarina the Great one, because of sleeping in the Hearth.
But did the cat die, did not die? One feels destroyed because of that and it tries to contact it.
- It means, I think what - Look! God of the Sky! " " Defend Me of the god whose face is a dog, " " but whose it embarrasses it is that of a man.
" " What he survives in the heart of the cursed ones, " " digesting hearts human and evacuating filth " ".
" " We never see it " " What it is doing? - My party.
- Not even to think, One Stands up.
We have much that to do.
Come.
- Of who is this tent? - Of Dr.
Ames.
It will be of watching, while I do the search.
Does it look?! That one not Poirot! - Well, well, well - How? Does one already feel better, Dr.
Ames? - Was my wait á? - No, no.
It was á wait was of the Poirot.
By chance did not he see it? I do not know where if it put.
Poirot! - Cannot I enter? - What? - I want to enter in my tent.
- Is it his tent? I had not noticed.
The best, the tents.
Are not they? Please, captain Hastings! - Poirot is too much! - Regarde, sand on the whole Side.
Love it that he must think that I am an accomplished idiot.
- Is there no immense sand in Belgium? - In Brussels, no.
Is it There? Does beauty queen Lemon, hear? I discovered the lawyer of the Mr.
BIeibner.
I spoke with him Only an instant, please, Beauty queen Lemon.
Did he say what it should link Read the will? Bon, which he was saying There? Yes, yes " "Cigarette case" ", Beauty queen Lemon? I think that it was a departure, Mr.
Poirot.
I realize.
Continue, please.
Thank you, Beauty queen Lemon.
Au revoir.
Do they want money? Only to behave well.
I am almost volunteering here to be.
- Why? - To learn archaeology.
Does not it feel the fascination? It plants vines in the desert.
To probe heart of a lost civilization.
My tisane.
Thank you, Hassan.
In the mesinha of head, please.
Thank you.
But he wanted that the fact was that this case it was advancing.
I come thinking that they was alone three natural deaths and a suicide.
What it finds, Poirot? Not even it seems to the man to have a theory.
Or does it have? My God, Poirot! Dr.
Ames! It is the Poirot, fast! - Hastings, which was? - The Poirot.
Patient.
Killed.
I do not know.
Tea of camomile.
Do not leave the Hassan to go out from the camp.
It still has pulsation.
- What goes on? - The Poirot fainted.
The one that smells Him? - The almond.
- Cyanide.
What I, fortunately, did not drink.
Thank you, Hastings.
While my good friend Hastings it asked help, I was of use to pour the content of the glass in this frasquinho.
Frasquinho that goes straightly for chemical analysis.
The first death does not need of appearing in our calculations, except for a motive.
The natural death of his father, Sir Guy, it was what it gave to a murderer the idea.
How much more deaths were taking place, more everyone would speak in the curse of her her Men-frog; and less everyone would look to know the truth.
And knots to judge what was so superstitious like others.
My intention was this.
It wanted to give to a murderer a sensation of security, until I am ready.
That I got.
The murderer thought what with a sustozinho it was putting us escaping for England, to me and to Hastings.
It found that this cheap trick it would be effective, more non.
It was having to take it acting.
And I do then a thing what so much frightened it, what it links includes me in his victims' List.
And what I did, what so much it frightened our murderer, the fez to go out from the hole and to try to poison me? Let's return to the first murder It of the Mr.
FeIix BIeibner.
Are not they hours of be laying? I tried to realize who would like to kill you.
FeIix BIeibner.
Alors, he was riquíssimo.
Because I deducted to be his heir and nephew, you.
Rupert BIeibner.
But not.
You.
Rupert BIeibner committed suicide before knowing of the death of the uncle.
Because following he wanted to know because you would like.
Rupert BIeibner to put an end to the life? He were young, happy and succeeded well.
He had not thought in dying, it had not even done will.
I never realized because one killed.
And however, Dr.
FossweII, he said it to us very clearly in the ticket that left us.
It was so clear, what we judged what he was speaking metaphorically.
It wrote, or did not write: " " I Am a Leper and one marginate.
" " It Is better to put an end already to the life, of what to make suffering who I love " ".
Be of use getting married And it plants vines one succeeded well and happy.
You.
Rupert Bleiner was thinking what was condemned.
It was judging what had Leprosy.
In the Last days of life it wore Gloves to hide the symptoms.
- And because it was judging what had it? - Because they said it to him.
And it had motive to believe that yes.
He had survived some time in Hawaii, where the disease is endemic.
And in Hawaii he will have learnt of the oil of chaumugra.
He will not have heard of more modern medicines, but of the oil of chaumugra heard, of certainty.
And what is the oil of chaumugra? The oil of chaumugra was once upon a time the Only one treatment of the Leprosy.
But in this case, it hardly served to convince Rupert BIeibner of which it had Leprosy.
Me them as it is that he knows? He knew, Hastings, because I stole oil of chaumugra to a murderer.
HercuIe Poirot discovered his secret.
What I whisper? But what is this? You.
Rupert BIeibner it had with Dr.
Ames, with a Light case of eczema.
Dr.
Ames diagnosed Leprosy and the poor person Rupert only found an exit in the death.
But that it plays the fool! Because he would want that he was killing himself? He was my friend.
We walked joined in the faculty.
The lawyers of the Mr.
Rupert BIeibner they have a leaf of paper.
Old woman and creased.
Written in the time of the faculty, perhaps during a binge.
But the handwriting it is that of the Mr.
Rupert BIeibner.
He says the next thing: " " The Last will and the will of Rupert BIeibner.
" " I Leave the cigarette case - what he so much likes- " " and everything what it has á hour of the death, " " to my friendly darling Robert Ames, what once saved me of drown " ".
He is seeing, Dr.
Ames, the man knew that when you.
FeIix BIeibner was dying, the fortune would be for his heir and nephew, you.
Rupert BIeibner.
But if you.
Rupert BIeibner it was dying Very well, do not be brought near.
All of you! Release me! Set me free! It already has three deaths in the conscience.
Does not it think that it arrives already? But Dr.
Ames.
it did not kill my husband.
No, Lady WiIIard.
The death of his husband, Sir John, it was natural.
The Only deaths that were interesting to Dr.
Ames they were those of the Mr.
BIeibner, of septicemia inoculated in the cut for Dr.
Ames himself; and that of the Mr.
Rupert BIeibner, to whom Dr.
Ames Levou to the suicide, convincing it of what it had Leprosy.
- And Dr.
Schneider? - In fact, Dr.
Ames injected in the poor person the bacillus of the tetanus, only to reinforce the theory of the curse of her her Men-frog.
The man was brilhantíssimo.
- Goodbye.
- Sir Guy - I return tomorrow for the Valley of the Kings.
- This time, with my blessing.
- Felicidades.
- The best, mother.
Up to á sight.
Was beauty queen Lemon, doing the favor of entering? Besides resolving this case, very difficult, Hastings and I brought one to him prendinha of the tomb of her her Men-frog.
Of the tomb?! Hei there! It is very similar with the cat when Her her Men was preferred of the king.
buried together with him, to keep him company in his Longuíssima journey.
It is Lovely! Be laid today with him in the hand and the Catarina the Great one it will visit it during the night.
Mr.
Poirot, very much thank you.
I do not know how it has courage of telling to Him so many stratagem.
It is not a stratagem, Hastings.
It is, how said á Lady WiIIard in the beginning of the case, the power of the superstition it is a very strong power.
