you made her a suicide.

You had got away
with killing your own child,

- Blackmail.
- (ROWENA GASPS)
1655
01:25:48,033 --> 01:25:50,702
HERCULE: I suspect that someone
had found you out.
1656
01:25:50,702 --> 01:25:52,954
And so you paid for their silence.
1657
01:25:52,954 --> 01:25:54,414
Again and again, you paid.
1658
01:25:55,165 --> 01:25:58,334
But now, with your fortune gone
and this house unsalable at any price,
1659
01:25:58,334 --> 01:26:01,129
you were desperate to get out
from under the blackmailer's thumb.
1660
01:26:01,129 --> 01:26:02,338
But who could it be?
1661
01:26:03,382 --> 01:26:05,342
Your obvious suspect was Doctor Ferrier.
1662
01:26:05,342 --> 01:26:07,469
Perhaps he was not so naive a witness.
1663
01:26:07,469 --> 01:26:11,515
Perhaps finally,
he recognized the poison symptoms.
1664
01:26:11,515 --> 01:26:14,810
And then you received your letter
from the unholy Ms. Reynolds,
1665
01:26:14,810 --> 01:26:17,271
claiming messages from your lost daughter.
1666

Surely this was your blackmailer.

01:26:25,947 --> 01:26:27,656
She had to be stopped to be safe.
1670
01:26:27,656 --> 01:26:31,118
Both Ms. Reynolds and Doctor Ferrier
had to be stopped. But how?
