The Poirot.
Hercule Poirot.
He is on the way of the theater.
I know.
You are right.
We will do something.
Mademoiselle, his name, Is Celestine, a French, is not it? My mother was a Frenchwoman, but I always lived here.
I was dreaming in going for the theater one day.
And there is how much time it works with you.
Opalsen? There is around two years.
He does not usually be so irritable, a first night is alone when there is.
- Did he already see " Pearls to Pigs "? - In the tests only.
But it is very quite written.
Certainly you.
Opalsen it has not so that to be preoccupied.
Give birth! The man is Lucky Len of the Daily Echo and I demand mine 10 guinéus.
No, Lady.
I am not Len and therefore I him do not bring good luck.
With license.
We arrived.

- Thank you.
There he comes! - Mr.
Poirot! - Is it going to solve the plot? I do not believe in this.

The Inspector Drake it must be arriving.
Yes, I and the Inspector Drake we have been working very joined.
Good luck, wanted.
And the man is a mere sergeant.
There the Inspector Drake comes.

I will speak with her.
My expensive Inspector.
Forgive me, Lady Jane, I find them to myself what did not have to use that.
The necklace? Why? Because the Ghost it swore what would have.
And the Ghost never failed, in any opportunity.
It is already a height of we go for the party.
Are not you going to use the pearls? I am full of being in according to plan because of them.
Celestine Yes, Mrs.
Opalsen.
Is it safe to leave them here? Clear.
Celestine it is not going to go out from the room.
- More champagne? - No, thank you.
I do not know because you do not use the pearls.

My name is Grace Wilson.
Is it liking the Grand Metropolitan? Let's say that it was one night of which I do not go away to forget.
Mr.
Poirot! What pleasure to have it with us.
Monsieur, Lady.
Mr.
Opalsen, this night in the theater there were journalists to my wait.
I presume what has not been coincidence? No.
But a man in my position it needs great publicity.
Apposition what he knew who had stolen the pearls soon in the second interval.
Of all, Lady.
It was a question what I stopped putting very much before the first one.
With license.
They are not so so bad.
He would see in my work.
It could tell to him a few little things.
Work already here there is much time? Here not.
Mr.
Poirot.
I am Hubert Devine.
I do from detective Drake.
Yes, clear.
I found his acting very captivating.
- It is a marvellous piece.
- Yes.
I think that it is going to be a success.
And it comes to happen even.
Ed needs a result.
Alternate three in the last season.
Only it was successful and it was a replacement.
It is true.
If the "Pearls" will not give profit, he is failed.
I like these telegrams.
They are very pretty.
Are they always in charge? I need a scissors.
I can go for one, one will want.
It is not necessary, I have one somewhere here.
I hate to sew.
Was it amused, man? Yes, thank you, Saunders.
But now the tiredness comes - It passes already of the midnight.
- Really, Hastings.
Thank you.
We returned, Celestine.
Is it completely well? Yes, my lady.
It is completely well.
What bored party! You also were not properly dazzling, dear.
- And you drank of more.
- Because not? I paid everything - Celestine, my policeman-jewel.
- Yes, my lady.
That cursed writer, Andrew Hall, did not even appear.
I saw it going away of the theater.
It was walking avoiding you.
- Are you deducting anything? - No.
Here the key is.
- Are you still drinking? - Yes.
Do you want one? Sir - Mrs.
Opalsen! - What was? The necklace.
I do not realize.
He is not here! What you want to say with that? Will be there! Go out from there! Let me see! My God of the sky! Call the police officer.
Someone stole my pearls! I presume, Mr.
Opalsen, what has called the police officer.
Yes, clear.
They are going to order someone of London.
But that does not arrive I want the man, Sr.
Poirot.
I ask for him.
I have to rehabilitate them.
And these pearls? It has an insurance for them, certainly? Yes, but It is not that that interests.
It is the piece, Mr.
Poirot.
After all the publicity to the pearls They will not be recovered, I will be a cause of mockery.
We take a digression as America! Since we can do " Pearls to Pigs " without pearls? - Poirot - With license.
- My expensive Hastings.
- The doctor - How? - One remembers because it is here.
Yes, it is true.
But, Hastings Mr.
Opalsen, I am afraid that Poirot could not to help it in this question.
- What? - I am here on holidays.
- Good morning, Poirot! - Good morning, Inspector-chief Japp.
The Imperial Suite, please.
I took away the necklace before the party and I put it in my policeman-jewel.
Then I put the box in the drawer.
- Was the drawer locked? - No.
Celestine was here, therefore there was no need.
All the keys are there for this box, Mrs.
Opalsen? You punish one, what I always bring with me.
Is he sure? It does not seem to have been forced.
Clear that I am sure.
There was always only a key.
I am going to offer a great reward, Inspector-chief.
- Does it find what it helps? - The fact can be that yes What it was doing when completely this went on? It was sewing.
Only I went to the next room.
First I looked for a scissors, and later the line.
Be livened up, Poirot.
It is for his good.
- I do not doubt, Hastings.
- It came here to rest.
If to be wrapped in another case, surplus value to have been in London.
It is true.
I do not know because it does not manage to relax and to enjoy the sea breeze.
- I know it! - No, Hastings! It is not worthwhile.
Not to accept this case is more difficult for me of which to accept it.
Saunders, ties the car.
I am in a hurry.
- Mr.
Hall.
- What was? Mr.
Poirot.
Lament that could not stop Then he already heard what it went on with the pearls? Yes.
The life to imitate the art? It is well an act for Ed.
And the problem is not mine.
Mr.
Hall, I repaired what was not in the party last night.
It was not with arrangement for parties.
- Can I ask about him where it was? - I went for a walk.
Now I have to go even, otherwise I come delayed.
Thank you, Saunders! Only I kept her because I felt sorry for her.
Then it was alone in the room with the necklace? Yes, for two seconds.
He did not even know what was there.
What cheek.
- Inspector-chief.
- Hello, Poirot! - With license, Mademoiselle.
- He was thinking that it was going to be from the outside of this.
- Well - No, not, no.
- How it goes to investigation? - The routine of the custom.
Does it have more any question? I have much that to do.
No, Beauty queen Wilson.
It is completely for now.
Grace Wilson.
Work in the hotel there are a few months.
It was employed of bar before that, in a pub in Holborn.
It took the dinner to Celestine.
First floor, please.
Call, Inspector-chief, what it discovered up to now? Grace Wilson or Celestine, the servant of the hotel or the servant of the lady? It seems to me that it will be one of them.
A necklace in a box inside a safe, Inspector-chief.
And only a key.
It is a trick of magic.
- Was the necklace in this drawer? - Right.
- And does it carry this one? - It is going to give to the room of the servant.
It is where Celestine looked the scissors and the line.
Leaving alone Grace in the room.
Call, Hastings, how much time does it think that it stayed to the Mademoiselle Celestine to go for the scissors to the room? - I do not know 20 seconds? - 20 seconds.
And in this period, how much time was she out of the room? Four or five seconds, at most.
Exactamente.
And how much time would Beauty queen Grace take opening the drawer, taking away the box, to open it with the key, to take away the necklace, did to close the box and put it in the drawer? - She would not have time for that! - Dressing what not.
Right.
With license.
Where it goes, Inspector-chief? I think that it is a height of we search Beauty queen Celestine.
I do not know because they did not lock it.
This drawer opens easily.
But this one not.
Interesting what.
It will be what ? The door must have connection to the room to the side.
It has a bolt.
It has a bolt of two sides.
But, Hastings, we know who is in this room.
In the room 113? Yes.
I think that one was calling Mr.
Worthing.
Right, man.
He was an American gentleman.
Only it was this night.
It went away this morning.
- Did he see it going away? - No.
He took the luggage itself.
It must have gone out while shining of the day.
By chance did not he see it last night? No, man.
But I can tell him whom I saw.
It was same when I was going to go out.
I do not want to speak at random, but there is a reward and everything Knife favor of continuing.
Yes.
Well, that writer, you.
Hall, he was walking in front of the hotel.
It had to be around 23:00.
- In front of the hotel? - Yes.
He was near to the window of the Mr.
and of the Mrs.
Opalsen? - Yes, it was same for bass.
- Thank you.
Here a thing is what have not to be here.
It is a copy of the key of the policeman-jewel.
We were hidden it in the sheath of the short skirt of Celestine! It seems to me quite convincing But and the necklace? There is still no his sign.
But one says that her boyfriend it was seen in front of the hotel - You.
Hall was here, yes - Does that explain everything, is not it? - Does it explain what? - Since she took away the necklace of the hotel.
She could not go out from the room, then it threw it for the window and he caught it.
Did it fasten the Mademoiselle Celestine? Yes.
And the more early to find Andrew Hall, better.
Mr.
Saunders, wanted to speak with you.
I heard that it already solved the case.
Leave there that.
You saw.
Hall? You.
Hall? I took it to the racecourse.
Is he in reels? It can be in great reels, yes.
Because it asks? Well, he seemed not much anxious.
It does not surprise me.
It has idea of where we can find it? He always does the bets with the same man, Harry Wax.
Harry Wax? He is a bookie.
It is even the type of siege for where him it would come.
What it means with that? A racecourse.
Here we find many criminals, Poirot.
And what better siege for this type of business of what in the middle of the crowd? Only I wait what is not late of any more.
Are the entries all watched ones? - Yes.
- You, come with me.
Be attentive to a bookie called Harry Wax.
We go, boys.
Hastings, this is missed.
None does sense for Poirot.
Six for four in the favorite and four for one in the trace 1.
They are six for four.
- Is the man Harry Wax? - Yes.
He saw a high and blond type this way this morning? Poirot! You are there.
Worthing.
It could swear.
Hall! There he is! Hall! It cannot enter here.
Seize it! Seize it! Catch it! I caught it! Put it in the car.
Go, for inside the car.
I think that we caught it late of more.
We found them to me this.
- And this.
- The pearls? No.
Only the bag where they were.
It discharges.
What happened to the pearls? It realized everything badly, Inspector-chief.
One does not say what gained this completely in the bets? Yes.
The Laughing Boy won, he was seven for one.
Then because it tried to escape when he saw me? I have debts.
I had a tide of bad luck and I came across bad companies.
You saw like them they were, at the door of the theater.
- Yes.
I did not know who the man was, therefore How does it explain this? - I do not know.
I never saw that.
- It was in his pocket.
Then someone put that there inside.
Inspector-chief.
Mr.
Hall.
Because it was not to the party of a Mr.
Opalsen? He said already to him.
I went for a walk.
And it took his walk of turn to the hotel Grand Metropolitan.
Yes.
He wanted to see Celestine.
It was needing to be with her.
But then I saw that she was not alone and I was for the bed.
Mr.
Poirot, will believe in me.
Key had never seen that one.
Someone having put debit there.
Promptly, my darling.
Talk to me about the Mr.
Hall.
He knows that he plays.
Yes.
I already tried to dissuade it, I do not get them to myself.
It is like a disease.
The Mademoiselle knows that, to recover these pearls, you.
Opalsen offers a reward very bulky? Yes.
But I did not rob them, Mr.
Poirot.
I swear him.
But nobody entered in the room while the lady there was.
No.
- You punish the servant of the hotel.
- Call, Mademoiselle Celestine, you.
Hall how were they known? It was in the theater.
In in the pieces of the Mr.
Opalsen.
- It belonged of Oscar Wilde.
- " The Fan of Lady Windermere "? No.
The Importance was " of being Earnest ".
Clear Hastings, I will contact with Beauty queen Lemon in London.
Why? This case, Hastings.
I begin to have some lights.
- I do not realize.
- He heard what the lady said.
- Oscar Wilde? - Exactamente.
Hastings, there is much work ahead.
Come! Five turns for three dinheiros.
Good aim, Inspector-chief.
It used to go for Isleworth Marshes in kid.
There are things what one does not forget.
I must say, it is good to have a night of rest.
- What is doing the Poirot? - Thinking.
He had to be resting.
There knows God whom Beauty queen Lemon is going to say when it will arrive.
Hello, man.
Good night, Inspector-chief.
Hello, Miss Wilson.
It is good to see that the police officers also they are human.
And for his son? - Yes.
- Just as well that I found you.
- He wanted to say to you a thing.
- Oh yes? What is? It cannot mean anything, but that writer - What has? - I saw it in the room of the Mr.
Opalsen.
In the day before the theft of the necklace.
He was there when I went to clean it.
He said that he was to the search of a thing.
I do not know them to myself.
- Anyway - In the previous day.
LAST ACTUACÕES BEFORE GOING FOR NEW YORK Mr.
Poirot! Beauty queen Lemon.
Me his suitcase is carried along.
Thank you.
Good morning, Beauty queen Lemon.
They had to be on vacation, Captain Hastings! Then I speak with you! Poirot.
What walks conspiring, Poirot? Inspector-chief, will do a detention immediately! I already did a detention, very much thank you.
And this case will not be only a theft, but yes a fraud? And if the pearls of the Tsar will they ever have existed? It wants to make a declaration, Inspector-chief? Poirot! How does it dare? Mr.
Opalsen, a man in his precise position of the whole possible publicity.
- Can he tell us what it goes on? - In the continuation of the investigations, we discover that the stolen necklace it was an imitation.
There were never true pearls.
It means what links the fez because of the insurance, Inspector-chief? We are investigating the possibility of fraud.
It is everything what I can say for now.
Thank you.
Yes, I and the Inspector Drake we have been working very joined.
There the Inspector Drake comes.
Good night, Inspector.
Lady Jane will come soon.
My expensive Inspector.
Forgive me, Lady Jane, I find them to myself what did not have to use that.
The necklace? Why? Because the Ghost it swore what would have.
And the Ghost never failed, in any opportunity.
Poirot, because he wanted to see the piece again? Tomorrow the piece goes for Nova Iorque, my friend.
- Yes - Beauty queen Lemon still did not see it.
This time, I am going to take it even.
- Good night.
- Good night.
What we are doing here, Poirot? The piece finished already.
Yes, the piece finished already, Hastings, but there is still one more act.
- I do not understand.
- My expensive Hastings The celebrated pearls of the Tsar.
Where it finds what it has been buying for them? I do not know.
- Somewhere in the continent, I suppose.
- No, not, not, Hastings.
It was that which Beauty queen Lemon discovered in London.
The pearls are very much known here.
Nobody would touch them.
- In America, then? - Exactamente.
And with all to their search, what the best way would be of passing them clandestinely? Clear! In the middle of the sceneries and of the props of the piece.
Yes.
It means what are somewhere this way? - Yes.
- But where? And who put them here? This case was very curious, is not it true, an Inspector-chief? From the beginning, only there were two persons who could have when the pearls were stolen from a Mr.
Opalsen.
The Mademoiselle Celestine or the Mademoiselle Grace Wilson, the servant of the hotel.
She must have been Celestine.
She had the key.
- It was sewed in her short skirt.
- That always intrigued me, Hastings.
Why to keep the key? It was unnecessary and inconvenient.
- Does it mean what put it there? - Yes, clear.
It did not go away to Celestine, she can have been only Grace.
We know them to me that she had no time to rob them.
You himself said it.
- Is it a mystery, is not it, Hastings? - Then which of them was? We are going to imagine.
The "Mademoiselle" Grace Wilson it is in the room of the Mr.
Opalsen.
It is there only for sympathy.
So what the "Mademoiselle" Celestine it goes out to go for the scissors, she acts, quick like lightning.
She managed to steal the pearls in an instant because it would not unlock the policeman-jewel.
In the adjacent room his accomplice was, with a copy of the key, and it was him that took away the bag and the pearls.
You.
Worthing! Exactamente, Hastings.
And when the Mademoiselle Celestine it goes out for the second time to go for line the box is re-put in the drawer in the same way.
Only that now the necklace disappeared.
I presume what was this mysteriously Mr.
Worthing what hid the key in the short skirt of Celestine.
Yes, he or the accomplice, Inspector-chief.
But he was undoubtedly you.
Worthing what it put in the pocket of the Mr.
Hall the bag that was empty.
Right.
I saw it in the racecourse.
You are there.
Worthing.
It could swear.
But who is he? Who is you.
Worthing? Mr.
Poirot! It waits there.
It is a pleasure finally to know it, Mr.
Worthing.
Saunders! Release me! Release me! I did not do anything from evil.
Release me.
My God His big fool! I told you that we did not have to come.
Now it is late of more, Lady Saunders.
Lady? What? Does it mean that they are married? Clear, Inspector-chief.
It was which Beauty queen Lemon discovered in the pub in Holborn.
Grace Saunders.
The owner was remembering well her.
- Why the disguise? - So, Hastings Of what another way could you.
Saunders to reserve a room beside the room of the Mr.
Opalsen? It was needing a new identity.
- It is how what it discovered? - As always, Monsieur, they were the small details, the facts without importance what attracted attention of Poirot.
It must be remembered, Hastings, what in the night of the theft, I noticed a white powder in the sleeve of the Mr.
Saunders.
Excuse, it has the dirty sleeve.
He was thinking that it was a talcum powder.
- Very much thank you, man.
- Of nothing.
No, Hastings, it was not a talcum powder.
It was a French chalk what the cabinet makers use why the wooden drawers slide more easily, and what you.
Saunders used beforehand in the drawer that was containing the pearls.
But I was already suspicious of the " Mr.
Worthing " before that.
When I and Hastings submitted in the hotel Grand Metropolitan, there was an older man in the reception that was walking of walking stick.
But when he was for the room, what was in the first floor, it did not address for the elevator.
No but yes for the staircases.
It was an acting, Monsieur, but nothing what Poirot it was not managing to unmask.
Rays break it! It arrives already.
Take us.
Only a thing, Poirot.
I know that I was waiting for them, but because they came here? They came here, Hastings, to come for the necklace.
I realized already.
Where the necklace is? The necklace, Hastings, I think that it is Here be! Cursed Poirot! Then did that little man weave me? The fault is yours.
You tried to use it.
- But, Margaret and the pearls? - Do not worry.
The "little man" managed to recover them.
Then it invented the history of the false pearls to unmask the thieves? - That itself.
It already has a plot for his near piece, Mr.
Hall.
Yes.
I said they that the necklace it was false because he knew what then would be going to examine it.
- We are ready, Mr.
Poirot.
- Thank you, Beauty queen Lemon.
The reward had to be his, Mr.
Poirot.
Because it gave it to me? Because it went to Mademoiselle what said to me the title of the piece, " The Importance of being Earnest ".
And there is in this piece a character very known what is called - Jack Worthing! - Yes.
And it was there that I saw the light.
Therefore I think that the reward it must be for you.
Beauty queen Lemon.
Hastings.
There they went away on his holidays, Mr.
Poirot! But, I feel Beauty queen Lemon totally reinvigorated.
Even so, there was not what the doctor it recommended him.
The man is Lucky Len of the Daily Echo and I demand mine 10 guinéus.
It is right, I was Lucky Len.
I lament, but I was dismissed this morning.
Dismissed? Why? It had exaggerated persons recognizing me.
The newspaper thought that it had to be of my face it is too common.
- Common? - It was what they said.
A cheek, in my opinion.
But it was what it happened.
They are deceived, my friend.
The man has a very different face.
It does not need of working for this newspaper.
- Have the face of a great man! - Billet what yes? Yes, man.
I am sure.
In last week there was an auction in Paris and I paid 300 thousand francs for the same necklace from pearls.
My wife is going to show you the necklace now.
Ladies and men, expensive friends.
Our new piece opens here, in your marvellous theater, in the near week, before digression of six months for America.
Yes.
Margaret has the principal paper and it is going to use the necklace from pearls of the Tsar in all the actings.
Mr.
Opalsen, the pearls are not stolen in the course of the piece? They are, but it makes part of the piece.
They will be under vigilance I can guarantee him that they do not go to side any! Again, please.
Thank you.
Doctor, call, what his diagnosis is? - Well, basically - Yes? -.

the man is exhausted.
Up to his famous grey cells they need for rest times.
It is true, a Mr.
Poirot.
The man has been working very much.
Two weeks of absolute rest it is the solution.
It was going away to you, he was thinking in going out from London.
I wait that this hotel have central heating, Hastings.
Beauty queen Lemon said that it had all the comforts.
Where there will be a taxi? I must say, it is the best to go out from London.
For already, there is less traffic.
And fewer taxis also, apparently.

- Yes, already it appeared several times.
The man is Lucky Len and I demand mine 10 guinéus.
I have the newspaper, he said the words certainties.
My money? Please With license.

It is a sort of play, Poirot.
The newspaper publishes the photography of a character, Lucky Len, and whom finding I am already thinking two times in these holidays, Hastings.

Worthing.
- Room 113? Yes, since the man asked, in the first floor.
Right.
Thank you.
The luggage it will be handed in his room.

- Dressing what not.
The Laughing Boy in of 16:00.
And my hunch.
And what about theater? There is a new piece this week.
I can arrange tickets.
Hastings I thought that it might like, being a detective and completely it more.
They have a necklace that costs loads of money, in stage.
Yes, I read something on that.

Opalsen, the director, also it is in the hotel with the wife.
Thank you.

Even there.
Thank you.
Here it is.
The Laughing Boy in of 16:00.

Perhaps take a risk - Mr.
Poirot? - Forgive me, Mr.
Poirot, but when he knew what famous East detective was in the hotel, I had to know it.
- This is you.
Opalsen, the director.
Yes, clear, you.
Opalsen.
I and my partner, you.
Hastings, we heard already a great deal of his piece.
- Does it want to sit down? - Yes, thank you.

Then also it is this night that his does famous necklace do his first night? Yes.
The servant is going to take it now for the theater.
Celestine! It shows the pearls to a Mr.
Poirot.

Because not? Where you put it? You.
Opalsen is that it has it.
She insists in keeping her.
Security! - Is it going to take the necklace alone? - No.
No, the Saunders, my driver, it always goes with her.
By chance, he is already delayed.
Perhaps allow that I and the Captain Hastings let's accompany the girl? It is gentle on your part.
Of all.
It is a pleasure, is not it, Hastings? Clear! Margaret, you are not going to believe whom did I find.
The Poirot.
Hercule Poirot.
He is on the way of the theater.
I know.
You are right.
We will do something.
Mademoiselle, his name, Is Celestine, a French, is not it? My mother was a Frenchwoman, but I always lived here.
I was dreaming in going for the theater one day.
And there is how much time it works with you.
Opalsen? There is around two years.
He does not usually be so irritable, a first night is alone when there is.
- Did he already see " Pearls to Pigs "? - In the tests only.
But it is very quite written.
Certainly you.
Opalsen it has not so that to be preoccupied.
Give birth! The man is Lucky Len of the Daily Echo and I demand mine 10 guinéus.
No, Lady.
I am not Len and therefore I him do not bring good luck.
With license.
We arrived.
We can enter for the rears.
- Then, where it is? - Leave me! - The money? - Stop! - When? - Tomorrow.
- You said that yesterday.
- No, no! - Tomorrow.

Otherwise ! The suitcase happens, Mademoiselle.
- Are you well? - It is completely well.
They did not hurt me.
Good Lord! The man is he Hercule Poirot, is not it? Yes.
It looks that the man it is needing help.
I? No.
They are what it is possible to call of business partners.
I notice them.
This is Andrew Hall, the writer about whom I talked to you.
- Mr.
Hall.
- Then it is his piece! It is the piece of Ed Opalsen.
He bought it, cut it, rewrote it and it left me with 2 % of the profits.
From there mine financial difficulties - Are you sure you to be well? - Yes.
- I will enter.
- I go with you.

Poirot? - I am Poirot.
My name is Saunders, I am the driver of the Mr.
Opalsen.
Yes? You.
Opalsen told you to take me to the theater with his fulfilment.
- Thank you.
There he comes! - Mr.
Poirot! - Is it going to solve the plot? I do not believe in this.
Hastings! - All the acts does it delay - With license! This is absurd, to use Hercule Poirot like publicity for the piece.
Completely.
It begins.
The Inspector Drake it must be arriving.
Yes, I and the Inspector Drake we have been working very joined.
Good luck, wanted.
And the man is a mere sergeant.
There the Inspector Drake comes.
Good night, Inspector.
Lady Jane will come soon.
The best.
I will speak with her.
My expensive Inspector.
Forgive me, Lady Jane, I find them to myself what did not have to use that.
The necklace? Why? Because the Ghost it swore what would have.
And the Ghost never failed, in any opportunity.
It is already a height of we go for the party.
Are not you going to use the pearls? I am full of being in according to plan because of them.
Celestine Yes, Mrs.
Opalsen.
Is it safe to leave them here? Clear.
Celestine it is not going to go out from the room.
- More champagne? - No, thank you.
I do not know because you do not use the pearls.
And good publicity.
Only leaning in that.
Did you hear what he said to you, Celestine? Yes, my lady.
I tell someone to bring you the dinner.
Promptly! It walks there.
We will do from hosts.
Thank you.
I wait what is amused in the party.
Thank you.
Excuse, it has the dirty sleeve.
- Very much thank you.
- Of nothing.
- I will be here to his wait.
- Thank you.
Who is? The servant, my lady.
It brought him the dinner.
It is only a moment.
It is very gentle on his part.
Make part of the service! Does he want what it puts here inside? Yes.
Put there in top.
- Is it here alone? - Yes.
What suffers.
They all are in the party.
I can do to him a little of company, one will want.
Thank you.
My name is Grace Wilson.
Is it liking the Grand Metropolitan? Let's say that it was one night of which I do not go away to forget.
Mr.
Poirot! What pleasure to have it with us.
Monsieur, Lady.
Mr.
Opalsen, this night in the theater there were journalists to my wait.
I presume what has not been coincidence? No.
But a man in my position it needs great publicity.
Apposition what he knew who had stolen the pearls soon in the second interval.
Of all, Lady.
It was a question what I stopped putting very much before the first one.
With license.
They are not so so bad.
He would see in my work.
It could tell to him a few little things.
Work already here there is much time? Here not.
Mr.
Poirot.
I am Hubert Devine.
I do from detective Drake.
Yes, clear.
I found his acting very captivating.
- It is a marvellous piece.
- Yes.
I think that it is going to be a success.
And it comes to happen even.
Ed needs a result.
Alternate three in the last season.
Only it was successful and it was a replacement.
It is true.
If the "Pearls" will not give profit, he is failed.
I like these telegrams.
They are very pretty.
Are they always in charge? I need a scissors.
I can go for one, one will want.
It is not necessary, I have one somewhere here.
I hate to sew.
Was it amused, man? Yes, thank you, Saunders.
But now the tiredness comes - It passes already of the midnight.
- Really, Hastings.
Thank you.
We returned, Celestine.
Is it completely well? Yes, my lady.
It is completely well.
What bored party! You also were not properly dazzling, dear.
- And you drank of more.
- Because not? I paid everything - Celestine, my policeman-jewel.
- Yes, my lady.
That cursed writer, Andrew Hall, did not even appear.
I saw it going away of the theater.
It was walking avoiding you.
- Are you deducting anything? - No.
Here the key is.
- Are you still drinking? - Yes.
Do you want one? Sir - Mrs.
Opalsen! - What was? The necklace.
I do not realize.
He is not here! What you want to say with that? Will be there! Go out from there! Let me see! My God of the sky! Call the police officer.
Someone stole my pearls! I presume, Mr.
Opalsen, what has called the police officer.
Yes, clear.
They are going to order someone of London.
But that does not arrive I want the man, Sr.
Poirot.
I ask for him.
I have to rehabilitate them.
And these pearls? It has an insurance for them, certainly? Yes, but It is not that that interests.
It is the piece, Mr.
Poirot.
After all the publicity to the pearls They will not be recovered, I will be a cause of mockery.
We take a digression as America! Since we can do " Pearls to Pigs " without pearls? - Poirot - With license.
- My expensive Hastings.
- The doctor - How? - One remembers because it is here.
Yes, it is true.
But, Hastings Mr.
Opalsen, I am afraid that Poirot could not to help it in this question.
- What? - I am here on holidays.
- Good morning, Poirot! - Good morning, Inspector-chief Japp.
The Imperial Suite, please.
I took away the necklace before the party and I put it in my policeman-jewel.
Then I put the box in the drawer.
- Was the drawer locked? - No.
Celestine was here, therefore there was no need.
All the keys are there for this box, Mrs.
Opalsen? You punish one, what I always bring with me.
Is he sure? It does not seem to have been forced.
Clear that I am sure.
There was always only a key.
I am going to offer a great reward, Inspector-chief.
- Does it find what it helps? - The fact can be that yes What it was doing when completely this went on? It was sewing.
Only I went to the next room.
First I looked for a scissors, and later the line.
Be livened up, Poirot.
It is for his good.
- I do not doubt, Hastings.
- It came here to rest.
If to be wrapped in another case, surplus value to have been in London.
It is true.
I do not know because it does not manage to relax and to enjoy the sea breeze.
- I know it! - No, Hastings! It is not worthwhile.
Not to accept this case is more difficult for me of which to accept it.
Saunders, ties the car.
I am in a hurry.
- Mr.
Hall.
- What was? Mr.
Poirot.
Lament that could not stop Then he already heard what it went on with the pearls? Yes.
The life to imitate the art? It is well an act for Ed.
And the problem is not mine.
Mr.
Hall, I repaired what was not in the party last night.
It was not with arrangement for parties.
- Can I ask about him where it was? - I went for a walk.
Now I have to go even, otherwise I come delayed.
Thank you, Saunders! Only I kept her because I felt sorry for her.
Then it was alone in the room with the necklace? Yes, for two seconds.
He did not even know what was there.
What cheek.
- Inspector-chief.
- Hello, Poirot! - With license, Mademoiselle.
- He was thinking that it was going to be from the outside of this.
- Well - No, not, no.
- How it goes to investigation? - The routine of the custom.
Does it have more any question? I have much that to do.
No, Beauty queen Wilson.
It is completely for now.
Grace Wilson.
Work in the hotel there are a few months.
It was employed of bar before that, in a pub in Holborn.
It took the dinner to Celestine.
First floor, please.
Call, Inspector-chief, what it discovered up to now? Grace Wilson or Celestine, the servant of the hotel or the servant of the lady? It seems to me that it will be one of them.
A necklace in a box inside a safe, Inspector-chief.
And only a key.
It is a trick of magic.
- Was the necklace in this drawer? - Right.
- And does it carry this one? - It is going to give to the room of the servant.
It is where Celestine looked the scissors and the line.
Leaving alone Grace in the room.
Call, Hastings, how much time does it think that it stayed to the Mademoiselle Celestine to go for the scissors to the room? - I do not know 20 seconds? - 20 seconds.
And in this period, how much time was she out of the room? Four or five seconds, at most.
Exactamente.
And how much time would Beauty queen Grace take opening the drawer, taking away the box, to open it with the key, to take away the necklace, did to close the box and put it in the drawer? - She would not have time for that! - Dressing what not.
Right.
With license.
Where it goes, Inspector-chief? I think that it is a height of we search Beauty queen Celestine.
I do not know because they did not lock it.
This drawer opens easily.
But this one not.
Interesting what.
It will be what ? The door must have connection to the room to the side.
It has a bolt.
It has a bolt of two sides.
But, Hastings, we know who is in this room.
In the room 113? Yes.
I think that one was calling Mr.
Worthing.
Right, man.
He was an American gentleman.
Only it was this night.
It went away this morning.
- Did he see it going away? - No.
He took the luggage itself.
It must have gone out while shining of the day.
By chance did not he see it last night? No, man.
But I can tell him whom I saw.
It was same when I was going to go out.
I do not want to speak at random, but there is a reward and everything Knife favor of continuing.
Yes.
Well, that writer, you.
Hall, he was walking in front of the hotel.
It had to be around 23:00.
- In front of the hotel? - Yes.
He was near to the window of the Mr.
and of the Mrs.
Opalsen? - Yes, it was same for bass.
- Thank you.
Here a thing is what have not to be here.
It is a copy of the key of the policeman-jewel.
We were hidden it in the sheath of the short skirt of Celestine! It seems to me quite convincing But and the necklace? There is still no his sign.
But one says that her boyfriend it was seen in front of the hotel - You.
Hall was here, yes - Does that explain everything, is not it? - Does it explain what? - Since she took away the necklace of the hotel.
She could not go out from the room, then it threw it for the window and he caught it.
Did it fasten the Mademoiselle Celestine? Yes.
And the more early to find Andrew Hall, better.
Mr.
Saunders, wanted to speak with you.
I heard that it already solved the case.
Leave there that.
You saw.
Hall? You.
Hall? I took it to the racecourse.
Is he in reels? It can be in great reels, yes.
Because it asks? Well, he seemed not much anxious.
It does not surprise me.
It has idea of where we can find it? He always does the bets with the same man, Harry Wax.
Harry Wax? He is a bookie.
It is even the type of siege for where him it would come.
What it means with that? A racecourse.
Here we find many criminals, Poirot.
And what better siege for this type of business of what in the middle of the crowd? Only I wait what is not late of any more.
Are the entries all watched ones? - Yes.
- You, come with me.
Be attentive to a bookie called Harry Wax.
We go, boys.
Hastings, this is missed.
None does sense for Poirot.
Six for four in the favorite and four for one in the trace 1.
They are six for four.
- Is the man Harry Wax? - Yes.
He saw a high and blond type this way this morning? Poirot! You are there.
Worthing.
It could swear.
Hall! There he is! Hall! It cannot enter here.
Seize it! Seize it! Catch it! I caught it! Put it in the car.
Go, for inside the car.
I think that we caught it late of more.
We found them to me this.
- And this.
- The pearls? No.
Only the bag where they were.
It discharges.
What happened to the pearls? It realized everything badly, Inspector-chief.
One does not say what gained this completely in the bets? Yes.
The Laughing Boy won, he was seven for one.
Then because it tried to escape when he saw me? I have debts.
I had a tide of bad luck and I came across bad companies.
You saw like them they were, at the door of the theater.
- Yes.
I did not know who the man was, therefore How does it explain this? - I do not know.
I never saw that.
- It was in his pocket.
Then someone put that there inside.
Inspector-chief.
Mr.
Hall.
Because it was not to the party of a Mr.
Opalsen? He said already to him.
I went for a walk.
And it took his walk of turn to the hotel Grand Metropolitan.
Yes.
He wanted to see Celestine.
It was needing to be with her.
But then I saw that she was not alone and I was for the bed.
Mr.
Poirot, will believe in me.
Key had never seen that one.
Someone having put debit there.
Promptly, my darling.
Talk to me about the Mr.
Hall.
He knows that he plays.
Yes.
I already tried to dissuade it, I do not get them to myself.
It is like a disease.
The Mademoiselle knows that, to recover these pearls, you.
Opalsen offers a reward very bulky? Yes.
But I did not rob them, Mr.
Poirot.
I swear him.
But nobody entered in the room while the lady there was.
No.
- You punish the servant of the hotel.
- Call, Mademoiselle Celestine, you.
Hall how were they known? It was in the theater.
In in the pieces of the Mr.
Opalsen.
- It belonged of Oscar Wilde.
- " The Fan of Lady Windermere "? No.
The Importance was " of being Earnest ".
Clear Hastings, I will contact with Beauty queen Lemon in London.
Why? This case, Hastings.
I begin to have some lights.
- I do not realize.
- He heard what the lady said.
- Oscar Wilde? - Exactamente.
Hastings, there is much work ahead.
Come! Five turns for three dinheiros.
Good aim, Inspector-chief.
It used to go for Isleworth Marshes in kid.
There are things what one does not forget.
I must say, it is good to have a night of rest.
- What is doing the Poirot? - Thinking.
He had to be resting.
There knows God whom Beauty queen Lemon is going to say when it will arrive.
Hello, man.
Good night, Inspector-chief.
Hello, Miss Wilson.
It is good to see that the police officers also they are human.
And for his son? - Yes.
- Just as well that I found you.
- He wanted to say to you a thing.
- Oh yes? What is? It cannot mean anything, but that writer - What has? - I saw it in the room of the Mr.
Opalsen.
In the day before the theft of the necklace.
He was there when I went to clean it.
He said that he was to the search of a thing.
I do not know them to myself.
- Anyway - In the previous day.
LAST ACTUACÕES BEFORE GOING FOR NEW YORK Mr.
Poirot! Beauty queen Lemon.
Me his suitcase is carried along.
Thank you.
Good morning, Beauty queen Lemon.
They had to be on vacation, Captain Hastings! Then I speak with you! Poirot.
What walks conspiring, Poirot? Inspector-chief, will do a detention immediately! I already did a detention, very much thank you.
And this case will not be only a theft, but yes a fraud? And if the pearls of the Tsar will they ever have existed? It wants to make a declaration, Inspector-chief? Poirot! How does it dare? Mr.
Opalsen, a man in his precise position of the whole possible publicity.
- Can he tell us what it goes on? - In the continuation of the investigations, we discover that the stolen necklace it was an imitation.
There were never true pearls.
It means what links the fez because of the insurance, Inspector-chief? We are investigating the possibility of fraud.
It is everything what I can say for now.
Thank you.
Yes, I and the Inspector Drake we have been working very joined.
There the Inspector Drake comes.
Good night, Inspector.
Lady Jane will come soon.
My expensive Inspector.
Forgive me, Lady Jane, I find them to myself what did not have to use that.
The necklace? Why? Because the Ghost it swore what would have.
And the Ghost never failed, in any opportunity.
Poirot, because he wanted to see the piece again? Tomorrow the piece goes for Nova Iorque, my friend.
- Yes - Beauty queen Lemon still did not see it.
This time, I am going to take it even.
- Good night.
- Good night.
What we are doing here, Poirot? The piece finished already.
Yes, the piece finished already, Hastings, but there is still one more act.
- I do not understand.
- My expensive Hastings The celebrated pearls of the Tsar.
Where it finds what it has been buying for them? I do not know.
- Somewhere in the continent, I suppose.
- No, not, not, Hastings.
It was that which Beauty queen Lemon discovered in London.
The pearls are very much known here.
Nobody would touch them.
- In America, then? - Exactamente.
And with all to their search, what the best way would be of passing them clandestinely? Clear! In the middle of the sceneries and of the props of the piece.
Yes.
It means what are somewhere this way? - Yes.
- But where? And who put them here? This case was very curious, is not it true, an Inspector-chief? From the beginning, only there were two persons who could have when the pearls were stolen from a Mr.
Opalsen.
The Mademoiselle Celestine or the Mademoiselle Grace Wilson, the servant of the hotel.
She must have been Celestine.
She had the key.
- It was sewed in her short skirt.
- That always intrigued me, Hastings.
Why to keep the key? It was unnecessary and inconvenient.
- Does it mean what put it there? - Yes, clear.
It did not go away to Celestine, she can have been only Grace.
We know them to me that she had no time to rob them.
You himself said it.
- Is it a mystery, is not it, Hastings? - Then which of them was? We are going to imagine.
The "Mademoiselle" Grace Wilson it is in the room of the Mr.
Opalsen.
It is there only for sympathy.
So what the "Mademoiselle" Celestine it goes out to go for the scissors, she acts, quick like lightning.
She managed to steal the pearls in an instant because it would not unlock the policeman-jewel.
In the adjacent room his accomplice was, with a copy of the key, and it was him that took away the bag and the pearls.
You.
Worthing! Exactamente, Hastings.
And when the Mademoiselle Celestine it goes out for the second time to go for line the box is re-put in the drawer in the same way.
Only that now the necklace disappeared.
I presume what was this mysteriously Mr.
Worthing what hid the key in the short skirt of Celestine.
Yes, he or the accomplice, Inspector-chief.
But he was undoubtedly you.
Worthing what it put in the pocket of the Mr.
Hall the bag that was empty.
Right.
I saw it in the racecourse.
You are there.
Worthing.
It could swear.
But who is he? Who is you.
Worthing? Mr.
Poirot! It waits there.
It is a pleasure finally to know it, Mr.
Worthing.
Saunders! Release me! Release me! I did not do anything from evil.
Release me.
My God His big fool! I told you that we did not have to come.
Now it is late of more, Lady Saunders.
Lady? What? Does it mean that they are married? Clear, Inspector-chief.
It was which Beauty queen Lemon discovered in the pub in Holborn.
Grace Saunders.
The owner was remembering well her.
- Why the disguise? - So, Hastings Of what another way could you.
Saunders to reserve a room beside the room of the Mr.
Opalsen? It was needing a new identity.
- It is how what it discovered? - As always, Monsieur, they were the small details, the facts without importance what attracted attention of Poirot.
It must be remembered, Hastings, what in the night of the theft, I noticed a white powder in the sleeve of the Mr.
Saunders.
Excuse, it has the dirty sleeve.
He was thinking that it was a talcum powder.
- Very much thank you, man.
- Of nothing.
No, Hastings, it was not a talcum powder.
It was a French chalk what the cabinet makers use why the wooden drawers slide more easily, and what you.
Saunders used beforehand in the drawer that was containing the pearls.
But I was already suspicious of the " Mr.
Worthing " before that.
When I and Hastings submitted in the hotel Grand Metropolitan, there was an older man in the reception that was walking of walking stick.
But when he was for the room, what was in the first floor, it did not address for the elevator.
No but yes for the staircases.
It was an acting, Monsieur, but nothing what Poirot it was not managing to unmask.
Rays break it! It arrives already.
Take us.
Only a thing, Poirot.
I know that I was waiting for them, but because they came here? They came here, Hastings, to come for the necklace.
I realized already.
Where the necklace is? The necklace, Hastings, I think that it is Here be! Cursed Poirot! Then did that little man weave me? The fault is yours.
You tried to use it.
- But, Margaret and the pearls? - Do not worry.
The "little man" managed to recover them.
Then it invented the history of the false pearls to unmask the thieves? - That itself.
It already has a plot for his near piece, Mr.
Hall.
Yes.
I said they that the necklace it was false because he knew what then would be going to examine it.
- We are ready, Mr.
Poirot.
- Thank you, Beauty queen Lemon.
The reward had to be his, Mr.
Poirot.
Because it gave it to me? Because it went to Mademoiselle what said to me the title of the piece, " The Importance of being Earnest ".
And there is in this piece a character very known what is called - Jack Worthing! - Yes.
And it was there that I saw the light.
Therefore I think that the reward it must be for you.
Beauty queen Lemon.
Hastings.
There they went away on his holidays, Mr.
Poirot! But, I feel Beauty queen Lemon totally reinvigorated.
Even so, there was not what the doctor it recommended him.
The man is Lucky Len of the Daily Echo and I demand mine 10 guinéus.
It is right, I was Lucky Len.
I lament, but I was dismissed this morning.
Dismissed? Why? It had exaggerated persons recognizing me.
The newspaper thought that it had to be of my face it is too common.
- Common? - It was what they said.
A cheek, in my opinion.
But it was what it happened.
They are deceived, my friend.
The man has a very different face.
It does not need of working for this newspaper.
- Have the face of a great man! - Billet what yes? Yes, man.
I am sure.
