00:00British pies are famous the world over, and last year, Farley's Foods produced 5 million of them.
00:22Everything from steak and kidney to Cornish pasties.
00:26But that's not enough for old man Farley.
00:28He wants to double the score.
00:31Work's been pushing ahead on the new extension to his factory.
00:35And this week, the Great Day Dawn.
00:58The Great Day Dawn.
01:28My friends, I hope I may call you my friends.
01:39After all, I pay your wages.
01:51In 1935, we sold more pies than at any time in our history.
02:03Yet there are those among you, politically motivated, who still try to say that you are not doing well.
02:13Don't listen to them.
02:14And now, let us move on to happier things.
02:20Once more, I stand before you here to open yet another new wing of our great enterprise.
02:27Enterprise.
02:28Enterprise.
02:29Enterprise.
02:30Enterprise.
02:31And now, let us move on to happier things.
02:37Once more, I stand before you here to open yet another new wing of our great enterprise.
02:49Enterprise.

03:06Oh, my God.
03:07Bye.
03:08Joanna!
03:17Why didn't you call me yesterday?
03:19You mustn't come here.
03:20I've got to see you.
03:21It's no good, Joanna.
03:23Oh, it isn't. What do you mean?
03:26I've been given two weeks' notice.
03:29By my father?
03:31Well, not directly, but yes.
03:33Why?
03:34Because he's found out about us, of course.
03:38I've got to go.
03:44Oh, God.
03:49I'd like to think there has been a partnership.
03:52A partnership between the Farley family
03:56and we humble mortals in the municipality.
04:05There are other jobs, Herbert.
04:07Not with your father's bad opinion following me wherever I go.
04:10I could kill him! I could really kill him!
04:13Talking like that doesn't do any good.
04:15And now it gives me great pleasure
04:25to declare this new wing
04:28well and truly open.

07:56And that tastings is where he makes his sausages, his pies, his hams.
08:02Useful, eh? Living above the shop?
08:05I suppose from here Farley likes to keep an eye on his employees.
08:08No doubt, but it is a pity that such diligence does not improve the quality of his so-called delectables.
08:21Good evening.
08:22Good evening, sir.
08:25Monsieur Poirot and Captain Hastings, it seems to Farley.
08:29I'm sorry, sir. I was instructed to admit only one.
08:33Oh, come now.
08:34I was instructed most positively, sir. I'm sorry.
08:42You know this is most inconvenient.
08:44You'll excuse me, sir. I was told to ask for a letter.
08:47Pardon?
08:48Oh, yes, sir.
08:55Thank you, sir.
08:56Thank you, sir.
09:13The gentleman you are expecting, sir.
09:17So, you're Hercule Poirot, eh?
09:32Monsieur?
09:33Sit down.
09:35Sit down.
09:38Thank you, Monsieur.
09:53What is it that you wish to consult me about, Monsieur Fallet?
09:57I have the same dream, night after night.
10:05I'm sitting in my room next to this, sitting at my desk, writing.
10:12There's a clock in there.
10:16I look up at it.
10:18I see the time.
10:20It is exactly 28 minutes past 12.
10:25Always the same time.
10:27You understand?
10:29When I see the time, Poirot, I know I've got to do it.
10:34At 28 minutes past 12, I open the second drawer down.
10:41On the right of my desk, I take out a revolver, I load it, then I go over to the window.
10:51And then?
10:56I shoot myself.
10:58I just lift the gun to my head and shoot myself.
11:06What do you make of that?
11:10I've already consulted a specialist in Harley Street.
11:19And what does this specialist tell you?
11:22He was preposterous.
11:25He asserted my life is so unbearable to me, I deliberately want to end it.
11:29He is a fool.
11:33Why should I want to kill myself?
11:35One of the richest men in the country.
11:36I have everything I could possibly want.
11:38I am a happy man.
11:42So where do I come in, Monsieur Farley?
11:56Supposing someone wants to kill me, could they do it this way?
12:03Hypnotism, you mean?
12:08You see what I'm getting at.
12:13Who is it that you suspect of wanting to kill you, Monsieur?
12:16Nobody.
12:17Nobody at all.
12:18You had no one specific in mind?
12:20Certainly not.
12:21I should like to see the scene of this drama.
12:27The desk, the clock, the revolver.
12:30No.
12:31I've told you all there is to tell.
12:32There's nothing to see next door.
12:34Nevertheless, I should like to see for myself.
12:36There is no need.
12:37I just want your opinion.
12:43But I can hardly have an opinion on such skimpy evidence.
12:46There's an end of it, then.
12:48I've told you the facts.
12:49You can't make anything of it.
12:51That closes the matter.
12:52You can send me in your bill for a consultation fee.
13:07I shall not fail to do so.
13:12Wait.
13:13That letter.
13:14I want it.
13:15The letter from your secretary?
13:16Yes.
13:26Ah, a thousand pardons, monsieur.
13:27What?
13:28I have committed a folly.
13:29The letter I handed to you just now.
13:30The letter I handed to you just now.
13:31It was a letter from my landlord.
13:32Ah, a thousand pardons, monsieur.
13:33What?
13:34I have committed a folly.
13:35The letter I handed to you just now, it was a letter from my landlord.
13:37This is your letter.
13:38Why the devil can't you watch what you're doing.
13:39Why the devil can't you watch what you're doing?
13:40Ah, a thousand pardons, monsieur.
13:54What?
13:55I have committed a folly, eh?
13:57The letter I handed to you just now, it was a letter from my landlord.
14:02This is your letter.
14:05Why the devil can't you watch what you're doing?
14:10Au revoir, monsieur.
14:38How'd you get on in there?
14:40Ah.
14:42Not well, I'm afraid.
14:45There is something wrong in that house, Hastings.
14:48Badly wrong.
14:50And I haven't the faintest idea what it is.
14:53Good.
15:05Good.
15:18Good.
15:18Good.
15:19Good.
15:19Good.
15:19get off boy I want these documents and letting all street by one o'clock but go
15:33on then excuse me sir mr. Cornworthy said you might spare us a moment what's going on twelve o'clock he
15:57said all right all right he's a very busy man now let's just sit down relax
16:27mr. Cornworthy mr. Tremlett you still here we've been here an hour nearly over an hour
16:39well I'll go and see what he's up to he's got assigned these anyway
16:45bloody nerve that's our dinner hour gone I know that he'll see us now
16:52for God's sake someone send for the police
17:03I can't go on like this mr. Poirot that machine is more than flesh and blood can stand but you have
17:11never complained before I've done nothing but complain for the last six months no it has been
17:16mentioned Poirot kindly do not band together against Poirot do I not do my best to keep us
17:23all happy I don't want to be happy I just want to you Poirot ah Inspector Jap my old friend I'm at
17:35Northway house Poirot Benedict Farley's place I'd like you to come over here if you'd be so kind
17:41Mr. Farley has shot himself most peculiar story I ever heard I've never heard such poppycock father
17:52had no use for dreams and such rubbish nevertheless that is what he told me yes he he mentioned it to
17:59me it upset him very much I told him it was indigestion I'm afraid I suggested his calling in
18:07dr. Stillingfleet he never did from mr. Poirot's story I gather he went to Harley Street yes he told
18:14me he consulted a specialist but is it known who the specialist was none of us had any idea that
18:20he'd consulted anyone and he never spoke to you about a dream no and you monsieur Conworthy no he said
18:32nothing about it at all I took down a letter to you at his dictation but I have no idea why he
18:38wanted to consult you I thought it might have something to do with some business irregularity
18:45I see inspector jab can you tell me the events leading up to the death of monsieur Benedict Farley
18:55well mr. Foley had agreed to see two representatives from the works it's a proposal for forming a union
19:01some herbs yes quite so a little before one o'clock mr. Cornworthy here came out of his room and went into
19:10mr. Farley he couldn't see him at first and thought the room was empty then he caught sight of a boot
19:15sticking out from behind the desk and what happened then I ran out of the room and I told the butler
19:31to call dr. stillingfleet and he did
19:45the body was found down there thank you
19:49at what time did he die doctor I examined the body at 32 minutes past one mr. Farley have been
20:05dead at least one hour so he could have died at this 12 28 he told you about precisely were there
20:12are any fingerprints on the revolver only his own and please tell me about the revolver itself well it
20:18was the one he kept in the drawer of his desk again just as he told you mrs. Farley has identified it
20:23positively yes see what's more that's the only entrance to the room well apart from the windows I suppose
20:29I cannot see how anybody could climb up there
20:49it's a funny room for a rich man to choose this study isn't it
20:52that great ugly blank wall right outside I think it is important that wall you mean psychologically
21:02perhaps
21:07at 28 minutes past 12
21:10I opened the second drawer down on the right of my desk
21:13I take out a revolver
21:20load it
21:24I go over to the window
21:28and then
21:29and then
21:32and then I shoot myself
21:37I just lift the gun to my head
21:41and shoot myself
21:48I should not have thought that there is any reason for you to doubt the accuracy of the dream's
21:53prediction inspector inspector in fact there is every reason to suggest that Benedict Farley committed suicide
22:00well there would have been no doubt about it at all
22:02but for one point
22:04and what was that
22:06a letter written to you
22:10I see
22:11so where Rucule Poirot is concerned there arises immediately the suspicion of murder
22:15the fact that you have to do that
22:16precisely
22:28touche
22:37touche
22:45So, let's go.
23:15Hello, Monsieur Poirot.
23:32Fancy your chances?
23:33No, no, no, no. Thank you very much, mademoiselle.
23:35But essentially, Hercule Poirot is a man of peace.
23:41But perhaps, though, I could ask you a few questions.
23:44Ask away.
23:45Did you know that your father kept a revolver in his desk?
23:50No.
23:55Where were you and your mother...
23:58Pardon, that is to say, your stepmother.
24:01That is correct?
24:02Yes, Louise is my father's second wife.
24:05She's only eight years older than I am.
24:06So, where were you and she on Thursday night of last week?
24:12Thursday.
24:13We went to the theatre to see Thumbs Up.
24:16Your father did not suggest accompanying you?
24:18He never went out to theatres.
24:20He was not a very sociable man.
24:21My father had a singularly unpleasant personality.
24:26That is a very candid statement, mademoiselle.
24:29I'm saving you time, Monsieur Poirot.
24:31I realise quite well what you're getting at.
24:34I live here because I have no money to live elsewhere.
24:38There is a man that I wish to marry.
24:40A poor man.
24:42My father saw to it that he lost his job.
24:45You wanted me, you see, to marry well.
24:46An easy matter since I was his heiress.
24:49So your father's fortune passes to you?
24:52Yes.
24:53Well, that is to say, he left Louise, my stepmother,
24:55a quarter of a million free of tax.
24:57And there are other few small legacies,
24:59but the residue of it goes to me.
25:02So you see, Monsieur Poirot,
25:03I had every reason to desire my father's death.
25:07I see also, mademoiselle,
25:10that you have inherited your father's intelligence.
25:13Your father was clever.
25:15But it had all turned sour.
25:17There was no humanity left.
25:20Is there anything more?
25:22Yes.
25:26How poor was your father's eyesight?
25:30He could scarcely see at all,
25:32and not without his glasses.
25:34His sight had always been bad from a boy.
25:36But with his glasses?
25:37Oh, he could see all right then, of course.
25:43All right, Constable, tell Sergeant Ball
25:45this is going to take longer than I expected.
25:46Right, sir.
25:48Ah, Mrs Farley.
25:50Something I'd like to ask you.
25:53Yes.
25:55Had your husband ever been hypnotised?
25:58Never, to my knowledge.
26:00Was he interested in that sort of thing, hypnotism?
26:02No.
26:03Oh, that horrible dream.
26:05It's uncanny.
26:07To dream that same awful dream, night after night,
26:10it's as though he were hounded to his death.
26:14Had it ever occurred to you
26:15that your husband might be tempted to do away with himself?
26:18No.
26:20Well, sometimes he was rather queer.
26:23Poppycock, father was far too fond of himself
26:26ever to commit suicide.
26:27You don't know everything, Joanna.
26:29I know that much.
26:32Pardon, Madam Fally.
26:35How many pairs of glasses did your husband own?
26:39Glasses?
26:41Well, spectacles.
26:42I've no idea.
26:43Three, four?
26:45Ah.
26:48Come in.
27:00Ah, mon dieu.
27:02How different this room looks in daylight.
27:04Can I do something for you?
27:08Ah, and I seem as sure that you share the same inspiring view
27:12as your late employer.
27:14Oh, yes.
27:16On the other side of that wall are the fools
27:18who made Mr. Fally's wealth for him.
27:23I think that's why he chose to have his study
27:26this side of the house.
27:28I see.
27:32You know, I feel sure if that wall could talk,
27:35it would tell us something, no?
27:36Hmm.
27:37Mr. Cornworthy,
27:46when I arrived last Thursday evening,
27:49I was not shown into Mr. Fally's own room.
27:52No.
27:54I was told to tell Holmes to show you in here.
27:58Why was that, do you think?
27:59I never questioned any of Mr. Fally's orders.
28:10Did he usually receive the visitors in here?
28:13Quite often.
28:16Particularly if people hadn't come to the house before.
28:20I see.
28:27Thank you, Mr. Cornworthy.
28:29Inspector,
28:40this dream of Benedict Fally
28:42is very important.
28:43He dreamed, he said, of committing suicide.
28:46And later on,
28:47he did commit suicide.
28:50And when I say suicide,
28:52he was alone in his room
28:53and was found with a gun in his hand.
28:57And no one entered or left the room
28:59at the time he was shot.
29:00So what does this mean, Chief Inspector?
29:03Well, that there's no other possibility.
29:05That he must be serious, sir.
29:06It means a very unusual
29:10and very cleverly planned murder.
29:13And how?
29:17Planned by who?
29:20Well, it is no good, is it, Chief Inspector,
29:22if I just give you the answer.
29:24Well...
29:25No, we must give the little gray cells time
29:28to do their work.
29:35And give Poirot time
29:37to work out who did it
29:39and how.
29:40This is not like you, Poirot.
30:06But this is not like the gray cells, Hastings.
30:11I have given them every chance.
30:14They have been cosseted.
30:16I have slept to allow them to do their work.
30:19I have eaten fish for breakfast.
30:21Result, nothing!
30:22It'll come, Poirot.
30:24The little gray cells have never let you down yet.
30:27But is this not an indication, perhaps,
30:29of what is in store?
30:30A sign that they are weakened by old age
30:33and the fast-living?
30:35Fast-living, Poirot?
30:37I wouldn't call your life exactly fast.
30:40Not now, perhaps, Hastings,
30:41but in my youth.
30:45Really?
30:46Oh.
30:48Really?
30:50You see, one pays, Hastings.
30:53Eventually, one is called
30:55to settle one's account.
30:57I say.
30:58I shall have another tea, son.
31:10Bother!
31:22Mr. Poirot, I...
31:23What is it, Mr. Poirot?
31:26Another tea, son, if you please, Miss Lemmon.
31:30Oh, dear.
31:31You had your nine o'clock one?
31:33Right.
31:34Serious measures are called for, Miss Lemmon.
31:45Dear.
31:47Do you have the time, please, Miss Lemmon?
31:50Of course, Mr. Poirot.
31:51Oh, very.
31:52What are you doing, Miss Lemmon?
32:01It's five to ten, Mr. Poirot.
32:03But what were you doing out there?
32:05If I lean right out,
32:06I can just see the church clock.
32:08Would it not be simpler to wear the watch?
32:10I can't, Mr. Poirot.
32:12My magnetism upsets them.
32:13Oh, I say.
32:15All my life, I've been looking for a watch that won't go wild as soon as I put it on,
32:19but I've never made it.
32:22Whatever is the matter, Mr. Poirot?
32:24Miss Lemmon?
32:26You are beautiful.
32:29Now, would you please be so kind as to telephone the Chief Inspector Chap
32:32and ask him to assemble the whole Farley household at noon?
32:36In the hall, huh?
32:39Come, Hastings, we have work to do.
32:42All has become clear.
32:43Then, they're brought in here from the pastry room and loaded into the ovens.
32:51The ovens have got to be sealed and closed by 12.15
32:55because we start the bake at 12.30 sharp.
32:59In fact, we hadn't done that.
33:01Mr. Farley was on the telephone quicker than you could say three little figures.
33:05Did he come regularly to the factory?
33:08No.
33:09No, we haven't done that for, uh, six or seven years.
33:13Well, not regularly.
33:15But he seemed to know if we hadn't started the bake on time.
33:18In the office, we used to say he had second sight as far as a pork pie was concerned.
33:24Well, that was just by way of a joke.
33:26Then, um, after the bake, which takes about an hour and a half,
33:30we take them out of the ovens and then they go round the corner...
33:43Now, remember what I told you?
34:02Yes.
34:03Is it loaded?
34:05Oh, yes.
34:06Here he comes.
34:25Bonjour.
34:26I wonder what is the most extraordinary thing about this case.
34:52Well, the dream, I'd say.
34:58If we hadn't got your word for it, Poirot...
35:00Exactement.
35:02The telling of the dream was vital.
35:06But, mes amis, there is more to it than that.
35:08Where did this telling of the dream take place?
35:12Mr. Benedict Farley received me here in his secretary's room
35:18and refused, point blank, to let me see into his own room just a few feet away.
35:24Why did he do that, eh?
35:26Because there was something in that room he could not afford to have me see.
35:31What?
35:31We will come to that.
35:32When Mr. Benedict Farley asked me to return his letter to him,
35:37by inadvertence, I handed to him the correspondence from my landlord.
35:43One glance should have told him it was a wrong letter.
35:47Didn't he have his glasses on?
35:48Oh, yes, he had on his glasses.
35:50So why did Mr. Benedict Farley not realize the difference
35:53between two totally dissimilar letters, eh?
35:57Because, mes amis, I was in the company of a man with normal eyesight
36:02wearing powerful glasses.
36:04And such powerful glasses would render a man of normal eyesight practically blind.
36:08Is that not so, doctor?
36:09If they were very powerful spectacles, yes.
36:12Eh bien!
36:13So why was I not allowed to go into Mr. Benedict Farley's room that night?
36:17What was in Mr. Benedict Farley's room that I was not allowed to see?
36:22Mesdames et messieurs, shall I enlighten you?
36:25I wish you would, Poirot.
36:27Very well.
36:34Poirot shall enlighten you.
36:37What was in Mr. Benedict Farley's own room
36:39that Mr. Benedict Farley did not allow me to see was...
36:43Mr. Benedict Farley.
36:46Good God!
36:53Yesterday afternoon,
36:54there are three witnesses
36:58to swear that no one comes in or out of Mr. Benedict Farley's room.
37:03Mr. Cornworthy is in his room next door, and as 1228 approaches, he readies himself.
37:11You see, Mr. Cornworthy knows something that very few other people know.
37:20He knows that Mr. Benedict Farley, every day, after all these years, still interested in the day-to-day running of his factory,
37:30checks up on his employees.
37:32Mr. Benedict Farley, please.
37:33Let us see how he does this.
37:36Mr. Benedict Farley, please.
37:38Let us see how he does this.
37:41How can this King of Pies observe his workers without ever leaving this
38:10house simple you see the uninviting delicacy is first steamed for one hour
38:22before it is baked and the release valves and the vast ovens which are
38:26situated beyond that wall are briefly tested as soon as the ovens are loaded
38:40yeah if one leans out of this window one can readily confirm this fact now if you
38:50please I want you all to come to these two windows lean out and look to your
38:55right which you can ready why don't you lead the way this is nonsense perhaps but
39:05humor me merci a lot of yeah yeah yeah madame Farley oh very well
39:22now one can readily see that spurt of steam issuing from the chimney or pipe at the
39:27eastern end of the building voila all the same I don't see where that gets us
39:31this your family comes to the window yes he leans out to make sure that the
39:38bake is starting on time all right
39:42and then
39:54Monsieur Cornworthy shoots him and Farley falls to the floor remember there is a blank wall
40:01opposite so there can be no witnesses lies ridiculous lies all has the appearance of being
40:08above the board yes Monsieur Tremlett and the other men see Monsieur
40:14Cornworthy go into Monsieur Farley's room but rush out again with the
40:19announcement of Monsieur Farley's suicide what they do not of course see is
40:23Monsieur Cornworthy pressed the gun into Monsieur Farley's hand
40:27slanderous rubbish it was Monsieur Cornworthy who wrote to me the letter Monsieur
40:35Cornworthy who gave instructions to the Butler it was he who went up to his bedroom
40:41applied the makeup and played the part of Benedict Farley but there were two
40:49people who carried through this fraud Monsieur Cornworthy was one and the other
40:57Madame Farley how dare you in due course the happy ending would have been achieved a
41:06quarter of a million pounds and two hearts that beat us one
41:13on the side
41:23yeah
41:26yeah
41:30yeah
41:36yeah
41:40Stop him, Herbert! Stop him!
41:56What?
41:58Oh, right.
42:10Well done, sir.
42:35That's Herbert.
42:38I've come to elope. It's still on, is it?
42:41Well, it's not, strictly speaking, necessary anymore.
42:45Oh.
42:46Well, we could do it anyway, though, if you like.
42:50Yes.
42:53What shall I do with him?
43:08I'll deal with him, sir. Thank you very much.
43:11Au revoir, Madame Fali.
43:14You foreigner.
43:21Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon.
43:36Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon.
43:48Oh, can I assist you in any way, sir?
44:02I'm sure I can manage the last five paces.
44:17Mr Poirot, let me help you.
44:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
44:19I'm sure I can manage the last five paces.
44:21Well, Mr Poirot, let me help you.
44:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
44:24Hastings, if you please the knife. Merci.
44:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
44:26Thank you, Hastings.
44:27I'm sure I could manage the last five paces.
44:31Well, Mr Poirot, let me help you.
44:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Miss Lehmann.
44:41This is for you.
44:44Oh, Mr Poirot, you shouldn't help.
44:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
44:49Nonsense, Miss Lehmann.
44:50Hastings, if you please the knife.
44:51Merci.
44:53You meant hello.
45:09Voila!
45:15What do you think here, Miss Lennon?
45:18It's...
45:19Wonderful.
45:21It's...
45:22Now we shall have no more leaning dangerously out of the window to tell the time.
45:30Yes?
45:30It's just what I wanted.
45:40Hastings, there are two reasons why I should never become the millionaire.
45:48What are they, Poirier?
45:50The first.
45:51That I should never make the detestable pork pies, eh?
45:58And the second?
46:02I am too understanding towards my employees.
46:09Quite.
46:09All right.
46:17You or her own multi-uniqueations in your mind?
46:20Yes?
46:24Yes?
46:25You or her movement?
46:26Yes.
46:26No, sir!
46:27What do you think?
46:27Okay, so...
46:28Will what?
46:29I agree with you.
46:30If you're not doing well the second day...
46:31and then, what is the world that looks like me?
46:32Good night.
