Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide When an avalanche strands the guests, it becomes even more imperative to find Marrascaud. But several distractions prevent Poirot from facing his nemesis. Why is Katrina being deliberately evasive about the fate of her maid? Why does Dr Lutz have such a powerful hold on her? Why does Elsie’s husband always dine in his room? What is Countess Rossakoff doing in Switzerland, and has she really given up her life of thievery? Why is Schwartz so hard to read? What happened to the old servant, Robert, and why is his replacement so inexperienced? Who tried to frighten Alice? As more and more questions pile up, less and less time remains as Poirot strives towards redemption for his past mistakes. But will he succeed in battling his inner demons as Hercules succeeded in conquering his twelve Labours, or will Marrascaud be the first criminal to prevail against the Belgian detective? 190
Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case Season 13 Episode Number: 75 Season Episode: 5 Originally aired: Wednesday November 13, 2013 Writer: Kevin Elyot Director: Hettie Macdonald Show Stars: David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) Recurring Role: David Yelland (George), Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings) Guest Stars: Alice Orr-Ewing (Judith Hastings), Shaun Dingwall (Doctor Franklin), Anna Madeley (Barbara Franklin), Claire Keelan (Nurse Craven), Helen Baxendale (Elizabeth Cole), Philip Glenister (Sir William Boyd Carrington), Matthew McNulty (Major Allerton), John Standing (Colonel Toby Luttrell), Anne Reid (Daisy Luttrell), Aidan McArdle (Stephen Norton), Gregory Cox (Coroner), Adam Englander (Curtis) Summary: An ailing Poirot returns to Styles with Hastings nearly three decades after solving their first mystery together there in order to prevent an unscrupulous and ingenious serial killer from claiming more victims. A murderer, identified by Poirot simply by the letter X, has been completely unsuspected of involvement in five previous murders, in all of which there was a clear suspect. Four of these suspects have subsequently died (one of them hanged), but in the case of Freda Clay, who gave her aunt an overdose of morphine, there was considered to be too little evidence to prosecute. Hastings agrees that it is highly unlikely to be coincidence if X was connected with all five deaths, but Poirot, now using a wheelchair due to arthritis and attended by his new valet Curtiss, will not give him X’s name. He merely makes it clear that X is in the house, which has been turned into a private hotel by the new owners: Colonel and Mrs Luttrell. Hastings makes certain discoveries in the next few days. Elizabeth Cole, another guest at the hotel, reveals to him that she is in fact the sister of Margaret Litchfield, who had confessed to the murder of their father in one of the five cases. Margaret had died in Broadmoor Asylum and Elizabeth is stigmatised by the trauma. Later that day Hastings and several others overhear an argument between the Luttrells. Shortly afterwards, Mr Lutrell wounds his wife with a rook rifle,[4] having apparently mistaken her for a rabbit. Hastings reflects that this is precisely the sort of accident with which X is associated, but Mrs Luttrell rapidly recovers. Hastings is concerned by the attentions paid to his daughter Judith by Major Allerton, whom he discovers is married but estranged from his Catholic wife. While Hastings and Elizabeth are out with Stephen Norton, a newly arrived birdwatching guest, Norton seems to see something disturbing through his binoculars. Hastings suspects it is something to do with Allerton and, when his clumsy attempts to persuade Judith to give Allerton up merely antagonise her, he plans Allerton’s murder. He falls asleep while waiting to poison Allerton, and feels differently about things when he awakes the next day. 191
