Agatha Christie's Poirot1989

[Pamela Lyall is sprinting across the dock to warn Hercule Poirot about the tragic news about Mrs. Chantry's death; only to discover that his ship has already left; Pamela looks on in despair until... ]

Hercule Poirot:
[shouting angrily] I've Told You Again! And AGAIN! I AM ON THE SHIP TO LONDON! I AM A CITIZEN THAT WILL NOT BE OBTAINED!

[Pamela sneaks into the depot where the shouts are coming from; and finds Poirot arguing with the interrogating Custom's Officer]

Good Woman:
Monsieur, you're going have to explain to me everything...

Hercule Poirot:
[interrupting; shouts] no time to explain! My ship is gone, immediate!

[Poirot sighs in frustration; then he catches sight of Pamela Lyle]

Hercule Poirot:
[pleasantly surprised] Mademoiselle Lyall!

Pamela Lyall:
[gasping for breath] Mr. Poirot... [ she rushes towards him; looking genuinely distressed]

Hercule Poirot:
[concerned] What is the matter? What are you doing here?

Pamela Lyall:
[frantically] Oh Thank Goodness! Mr. Poirot I thought you have left! You must come quickly! Valentine Chantry is dead.

Hercule Poirot:
[calmly] Ah,

Pamela Lyall:
Someone had poisoned her husband's glass... and she drank it!

Hercule Poirot:
[gravely] I had feared such an outcome.

Pamela Lyall:
[distraught] why didn't you prevent it from happening before it was too late?

Hercule Poirot:
Prevent what? Prevent by doing what? By informing the police that someone has murder in their heart?

[pause]

Hercule Poirot:
I will come.
