|---|
Dr. Arbuthnot: “She didn’t kill him. I did. Mary, go. I cannot let you take the blame for what I did alone....John Armstrong was my best friend, my commander. He believed in me. He sent me to medical school, gave me a future. Cassetti destroyed him. In grief I found Mary. And I found Ratchett. Our plan was to reveal him to the police, that’s what you heard. But when I saw his face… I knew he didn’t reserve a trial. I couldn’t let Mary be accused. Or MacQueen. My sins are mine to pay for, alone. I’m a soldier. A soldier kills to protect. And now, Mr Poirot, I must protect myself from you.” |
