My Dear Colonel Armstrong. Finally, I can answer your letter, at least with the thoughts...

Hercule Poirot: [Thinking as he walks through the train towards the bar car] 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 civilised. My very existence depends upon this hope, upon order and methods and the little grey cells, but now perhaps I am asked to listen instead to my heart. [pause] Hercule Poirot: [Addressing the passengers in the bar car] 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.

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 gray cells. But now, perhaps, I am asked... to listen, instead... to my heart. Ladies and gentlemen... I have understood in this case that the scales ofjustice... 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. And may you find your peace with this. May we all. Hello. I'm looking for a Mr. Poirot. He's needed on a very urgent matter. Ah. He is on holiday. The, uh, Kassner case again? No, sir, far worse. I have to take him to Egypt straight away. There's been a murder, sir, right on the bloody Nile. Are you the detective? Yes. I am the detective. Could you please straighten your tie? I will see you at the car.
