Hercule Poirot:
My Dear Colonel Armstrong, finally, I can answer your letter, at least with the thoughts in my head and the feeling in my heart that somewhere you can hear me. I have now discovered the truth of the case and it is profoundly disturbing. I have seen the fracture of the human soul. So many broken lives, so much pain and anger giving way to the poison of deep grief, until one crime became many. I have always wanted to believe that man is rational and civilized. My very existence depends upon this hope, upon order and method and the little grey cells... but now perhaps I am asked... to listen instead... to my heart.Hercule Poirot: Ladies and gentlemen, I have understood in this case that the scales of justice... cannot always be evenly weighed. And I must learn for once, to live with the imbalance. There are no killers here, only people who deserve a chance to heal. The police have accepted my first solution to the crime: the lone assassin who made his escape. I will leave the train here to conclude formalities. You are all free to go. May you find your peace with this... May we all

My dear Colonel Armstrong
00:00:05.463 --> 00:00:08.633
Finally I can answer your letter
00:00:08.008 --> 00:00:11.845
at least with the thoughts in my head
00:00:11.097 --> 00:00:14.347
and the feeling in my heart
00:00:14.514 --> 00:00:17.976
that somewhere you can hear me
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:20.478
I have now discovered
00:00:20.052 --> 00:00:23.064
the truth of the case and it is
00:00:23.231 --> 00:00:25.009
profoundly disturbing
00:00:26.901 --> 00:00:30.405
I have seen the fracture of the human soul
00:00:30.822 --> 00:00:35.869
So many broken lives so much pain and anger
00:00:36.997 --> 00:00:39.998
giving way to the poison of deep grief
00:00:40.165 --> 00:00:43.585
until one crime became many
00:00:45.211 --> 00:00:47.338
I have always wanted to believe
00:00:47.038 --> 00:00:51.999
that man is rational and civilized
00:00:51.259 --> 00:00:54.679
My very existence depends upon this hope
00:00:54.846 --> 00:01:00.185
upon order and method and the little gray cells
00:01:01.269 --> 00:01:04.001
But now perhaps I am asked
00:01:05.996 --> 00:01:07.999
to listen instead
00:01:08.996 --> 00:01:10.236
to my heart
00:01:16.242 --> 00:01:17.869
Ladies and gentlemen
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:23.625
I have understood in this case that the scales of justice
00:01:23.792 --> 00:01:26.544
cannot always be evenly weighed
00:01:27.712 --> 00:01:30.131
And I must learn for once
00:01:30.298 --> 00:01:33.426
to live with the imbalance
00:01:35.994 --> 00:01:37.001
There are no killers here
00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:40.999
Only people who deserve a chance to heal
00:01:41.976 --> 00:01:43.001
The police have accepted
00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:44.813
my first solution to the crime
00:01:44.979 --> 00:01:48.003
the lone assassin who made his escape
00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:52.999
I will leave the train here to conclude formalities
00:01:53.738 --> 00:01:55.999
You are all free to go
00:01:57.003 --> 00:01:59.911
And may you find your peace with this
00:02:02.372 --> 00:02:04.994
May we all
