0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:24.199

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 2>unleash their free spirits and embrace the fried side of life.

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.759
<v Speaker 3>Producer Dave, can you turn her mic off? Just just

<v Speaker 3>turn it down?

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I have to ask you, what is preventing you from

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>embracing the fried side of life?

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know common sense?

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay, So KFC is partnering with UH producer Lude

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:57.440

<v Speaker 2>he's a club guy. He has a mullet psh Australian style.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.239
<v Speaker 2>So so there they've paired up. So he's not only

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 2>going to headline the club, he's he's got a mash up.

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 2>He's collabed for ludes Zinger Sliders, which are the sliders

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 2>coming to pairs eron.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 3>You get so much joy from this?

<v Speaker 2>I do you have no idea? They're each packed with

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>half of a Zinger filet, and is a zinger a

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>new kind of animal? I don't know. One is smothered

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>in Chili relish and the other in super charge sauce,

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.000

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.120

<v Speaker 3>Well that is certified ridiculous.

<v Speaker 2>It so is.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what else is ridiculous?

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:12.320

<v Speaker 3>the most famous mystery writers ever, forever ever? They once

<v Speaker 3>disappeared for eleven days. But not only did she disappear,

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 3>but many think that she faked her death, and not

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 3>only that Elizabeth, she may have been attempting to frame

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>her husband for her murder. Oh yes, that famous mystery

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.560

<v Speaker 3>heists and cons. It's always ninety nine percent murder free

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 3>and one hundred percent ridiculous. Wood Bee, I like it.

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 3>You're in one, You're on one, and you're writing.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.279

<v Speaker 3>nine percent murder free, one percent murder. I guess Agatha

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Christie ninety nine percent murder. Oh I know, yeah, I

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:40.359
<v Speaker 3>totally flipped it.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, because here's the thing. She's kind of got Like

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the original uh version of murder she wrote, you know where,

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>like if she shows up in town like somebody's gonna

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, get got uh she miss Marple. Yes, Like

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>if she shows up to your country estate for some

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>to do, I'm like, I'm getting out of.

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Town by life insurance on all the people I am.

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Hopping on a horse and to lose and with Puaro.

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Too, same thing. Yeah, he also rides.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 2>With curly mustache coming in. I'm like, curly mustache my

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>way out of it.

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Did you have a favorite between Marpo and Puaro.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I think I like Paro really yeah, uh, I don't know.

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Part of me is the problem that I'm having is

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm having trouble disconnecting the books from the television versions

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and the movie versions. In the movie so like, I

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>love that the television Puaro with David A Camera's name

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 2>now the kind of standard PBS. No, it's like Sachet

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.599
<v Speaker 2>or the most recent one, the one that I love him,

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and he plays a great Quaro and he's kind of

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the basis for this character in the

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Mazy Dobbs novel series amazing. Yeah, Maurice, I guess his

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>name is he. I feel like that writer took in

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 2>spray from Puiro to creative anyway. I like Quoro's very intellectual,

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.359
<v Speaker 2>larger issue assessment of the crimes instead of the like

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>sneaky you know, I'm going to piece this together and

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>then Aha.

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>So you're not a big fan of the Columbo style

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 3>the Murder She wrote style.

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I just love murder mysteries.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I know you do, really do. I always thin it's

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 3>funny about Miss Marple is that she's the one people

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>always overlook and then poiro distracts you with the flamboyance

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 3>of the mustache and the outrageous Belgian accent and everything.

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 3>So one you get, you pay attention to the other

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:34.919
<v Speaker 3>one you do not.

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 2>So she covers they're sleeping on the on the bad

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>baby over there. You know, they they're not attention to her.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like you. The older you get as

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>a woman, the more invisible do you become.

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 3>I've heard this.

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's great, the opposite effect. There are parts

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 2>when you think, yeah, is kind of nice to be invisible,

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 2>but you know it's also demoralizing.

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, totally. And so we're social preachers.

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>The aged Miss Marple. She goes somewhere and people say

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 2>wild stuff in front of her.

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And she's she's just like a raw knife.

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>And that's why you shouldn't underestimate us, old broads.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 3>That's so true. I always say that now, speaking of

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 3>a you know, underestimating people, And you mentioned the movie versions. Yeah, Okay,

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 3>the classic, in my opinion, is The Murder on the

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Orient Express, not the new one, the nineteen seventies version

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 3>with everyone in it. Yes, that movie incredible, right, Albert Finnie,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 3>his Hercule Parole.

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I love Albert.

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Unforgettable. Right now, For those who don't know, the plot is,

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 3>there's the train, the Orient Express, and then there's a

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 3>surprisingly large number of Americans on it, and there are

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of people who work for the same American

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Charles Limberg, and I won't tell you anymore right now.

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 3>The cast for that film is this also an insane

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 3>list of stars in the last mid century? Do you

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 3>remember how many people are in that movie?

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.720

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Best Adaptive Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Costume Design, Best Cinematography,

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean just everything. Now compare that to the recient adaptations.

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, now that what was the first one he did,

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Death on the Nile, because that was a stinker.

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's the one to start. Wonder Woman and the

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 3>alleged Cannibal, grandson of Armin Hammer exactly. It was so

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 3>we saw that together and we were just laughing at

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 3>not at the film, like near the film, at each

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 3>other what we were saying about them.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>It was in the theaters and I went up to

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the screen and I barred on it. That's what happened.

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 3>The murder on the Arin Express version that was a

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 3>little bit better.

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was that was good.

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I had a brilliant conceit. The whole setup was a

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 3>bunch of stars to get together to kill Johnny Depp.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was just like so now so anyway,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 3>in both films, Kenneth brodducts version of Hercule Pero. What

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 3>do you think? I thought delightful.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was good.

0:09:59.440 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Who's the Venice one?

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 3>That was a little bit oh hunting in Venice.

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're just not good movies. He puts a lot

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>of people who are not likable in them, like a

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of like in real life, they're unlikable. So I'm

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>walking into it being like I can't believe I want

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 2>to watch.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 3>This casting agent's not reading the local trades, the news anything.

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like what Bozo's can I put in here? They're

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 2>nice to me, They said, yes, and then they're just

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>they're very convoluted in their retellings.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 3>So Agatha Christie writer, we talked about Agatha Christie, you know,

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 3>basically not filmmaker, but films made of her books. We've

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 3>talked about creator.

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 2>She's a content.

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Content Agatha Christie content creator. So what about Agatha Christie

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 3>cultural phenomenon? Did you know that Agatha Christie has sold

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 3>more books than almost any other writer you can name.

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead and name a writer. They sold a lot

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 3>of books. John Grisham sold more books in him. Name

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 3>another one.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Who's the Da Vinci code man?

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh Dan Brown? Danny Brown, Dan Brown? Right, Danny?

0:10:59.200 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? What about that?

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 3>More than him? God, Stephen King? More than him? Okay,

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 3>she has a century head start on these writers, Stephen King,

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 3>John Gris, those guys, like the supermarket fiction writers more

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 3>than him. Okay, that's not me saying that. By the way,

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 3>she's such a badass. Guinness Book of World Records. According

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 3>to Guinness, they say her two billion books she has

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 3>sold are more than anybody the writer you can name,

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 3>two billion, two billion. She's the best selling fiction writer

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 3>of all time.

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Go for it.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Billion books sold in English, one billion books sold in

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and three other languages. She's killing the game.

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Now if you include non fiction plays, religious texts, so forth,

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 3>there's still only two writers who sold more books than her.

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 3>You name those two writers.

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Of non fiction, Well, I mean.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 3>And one's one's not really the writer, one is God,

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.239
<v Speaker 3>and the other monks.

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>A non fiction.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't Billy Shakespeare.

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>How is that nonfiction plays?

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 3>No, I said, I said, nonfiction plays religious texts, things

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 3>that are not necessarily people. That's journalism. Elizabeth plays journalism.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 3>It's life drawn done dramatically, rendered dramatically. When we're talking

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 3>about the big dogs of the printage page, it's basically God, Shakespeare,

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 3>and Agatha Christie. That's the list, right, And this was

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 3>true in her lifetime. She was like king of the mountain. Then,

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 3>for instance, there's this story Agatha Christie on a train

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 3>by herself. She was not visually distinctive, so people could

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 3>miss her. They wouldn't know that they were sitting on

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 3>a train with Agatha Christie's she and she would say

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 3>that she was just a housewife. She even said that

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 3>after she was selling millions of books. Right, anyway, she's

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 3>on this train same train carriages her. Two women, they

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 3>both have Agatha Christie books on their knees, right, And

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Agatha Christie remembers this moment as she tells it, two

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>women discussing me, both with copies of my paperback editions

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 3>on their knees, and like I said, they don't recognize her.

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 3>So they're talking freely about her, unaware that the author

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 3>is right there listening to them. So the two women

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 3>they get to talk and they get to a course

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.559
<v Speaker 3>to gossiping and they're like, oh, yes, oh. One of

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 3>the ladies says, I hear she drinks like a fish

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 3>eo right, And so she's just having to hear this

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.839
<v Speaker 3>all the time because people don't know she's like this

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 3>king or queen rather of the crime world, a fiction

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 3>of books. And still people are like, oh, I wouldn't

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 3>recognize her. She's walked right past me.

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, as you can imagine, with this person who is

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 3>selling so many books and everybody loves her, when she disappears,

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 3>the Queen of Crime disappears on December sixth, nineteen twenty six.

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 3>It was a super big deal. All of a sudden,

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 3>papers are like, wait, what Yeah, Agatha Christie goes missing.

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 3>It's a real life murder mystery. The time Elizabeth, she

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 3>was thirty six years old, she'd already published many of

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 3>her best books, as I told you. And so she's

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 3>published her sixth book, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. And

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 3>the reason why Agatha Christie had went missing was, in

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 3>rough terms, we'll just put it, sometimes a girl just

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 3>needs to get away, that's the true. Right now, she

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 3>and her husband, Archie Christie had rather recently moved into

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 3>a grand home, a big i'll put it in your terms,

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 3>a long daddy Sunningdale, Berkshire, and it was a sort

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 3>of home that gets a nickname. They called the twelve

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.959
<v Speaker 3>bedroom mansion Styles, which was the title of her first book. Yes,

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 3>they named it after the sidekick from teen Wolf, Yes, exactly.

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 3>With an amazing amount of oppressions she's saw forward, She's like,

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, Michael J. Fox. I like that kid. He's

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 3>going to be a hell of an actor. But not him.

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 3>What's the one next to him? Now? As she learned

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 3>from that Styles mansion, big house, right, big house can

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>also make you feel more alone?

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh completely, yeah.

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, the emptiness of it, the sound of that emptiness, right,

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 3>And also her husband was often gone. That also really

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of exacerbated the emptyiness.

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 2>The house implies that there should be a lot of people, yes.

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of life in it, right, So she

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 3>grows lonely in response to her success in the big house.

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Setting all this aside for a moment, Agatha was also

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 3>dealing with somewhat of a life crisis, right. She was

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 3>in a dark place. Had died that same year in

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 3>the spring, and Agatha and her mother they were really close,

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 3>like super close, and the loss was devastating to her.

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 3>So she already has her somewhat absent husband and now

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 3>her mother is gone. Her husband is not there to

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 3>help her with the loss. Not only that, he's just

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 3>shrugged off the loss, like he didn't even attend the funeral.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, like he was of no help when she

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 3>lost like someone. Yeah, right, So she has no mother.

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 3>She has a daughter of her own, though, a seven

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 3>year old daughter, and so that's later that same year,

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 3>in the summer, Agatha she takes a trip with her

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 3>daughter to her mother's estate to kind of like show

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 3>where this is Grandma's place and do all that and like,

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 3>let's you know, the commune with her spirit the two

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 3>of them, they chill, they talk about grandmother. You know,

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 3>they're just vibing out right. Yeah, husband shows up, recently

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 3>departed mother's estate. He's got big news for them. His

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 3>big news is Elizabeth. He's met another woman, a much

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 3>younger woman named Nancy Neil, and he's in love with Nancy.

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 3>In fact, he wants a divorce. And because he and

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Nancy had been carrying on for having an affair of

0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 3>about a year now, her husband was tired of sneaking

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 3>around pure me, the exercise of hiding what I'm doing

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 3>from you. So Agatha tells him, nope, I won't grant

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 3>you a divorce.

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 3>And so even though her hubby archie, he seems to

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 3>me he's like a total sad sack of a man,

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 3>she loves him. She wants to keep this guy around.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 3>She won't let him go. No.

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, he comes up and he's like, oh, I

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>want a divorce. I beg nope, and I'm about to

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 2>make your life miserable.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 3>She actually loves him, so she tries to save their marriage.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 3>She works for a while, right, her husband was like, oh,

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 3>good lord, did you not listen to a single word

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 3>I just said? I want a divorce.

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Nope, nope, didn't listen, So I'm going to.

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Agatha said about this. She wrote about this period later

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 3>in her life. She said that this was quote the

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 3>beginning of a nervous breakdown. No, right, yeah, so that

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 3>day at her late mother's estate when he said he

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 3>wanted to get a divorce and shack up with his mistress,

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 3>that was the summer.

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, of course, it's the beginning of a nervous breakdown.

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I just like that is this most tender point?

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, she losenes her mother and then her

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 3>husband destroys everything, and yeah, so come winter, Archie, this

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 3>the sad sack of a husband. He comes back to

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Agatha and informs it, Look, I can't go on like this.

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 3>I must be with Nancy. I'm going to go spend

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 3>the weekend with her.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.280
<v Speaker 2>She's non threatening exactly.

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 3>So that afternoon, Agatha she could go out for a drive. Right.

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 3>She was half out of her head. She's in deep

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 3>inner feels at this point, right, But she knew she

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.919
<v Speaker 3>couldn't do anything rash because she's got her daughter with

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.640
<v Speaker 3>her in the car. So she's like, I'll wait till later. Right.

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 3>She's also thinking maybe he'll come home and he's just

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 3>being whatever, you know, peculiar.

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I can't you know. When I hear these stories, I'm like, honey,

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>just come over to the jaded side of the fence.

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 2>You'll get here eventually, but he's join us early and

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 2>then your life will be much better anyway.

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 3>For Seed, she waits for her husband to come home.

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 3>When Archie doesn't come home that night, around nine forty

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 3>five pm, she goes up to her daughter's room. She

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 3>kisses her daughter goodbye, and then she grabs her car

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 3>keys and she takes off on her drive on her own.

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I'll leave it to Agatha to tell the story. I

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.439
<v Speaker 3>just wanted my life to end. All that night, I

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 3>drove aimlessly about in my mind there was this vague

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 3>idea of ending everything. I drove automatically downroads I knew

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 3>to may Head, where I looked at the river. I

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.679
<v Speaker 3>thought about jumping in, but realized that I could swim

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 3>too well to drown. Then back to London again, and

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 3>then on to Sunningdale. From there I went to Newland's Corner.

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 3>So she just keeps driving through the dark and the

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 3>despondency of her blues. Then something happens, Elizabeth, She says,

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 3>when I reached a point on the road which I

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 3>thought was near the quarry, I turned the car off

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 3>down the road, down the hill toward it. I left

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 3>the wheel and left the car run. The car struck

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 3>something with a jerk and pulled up. Suddenly I was

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 3>flung against the steering wheel and my head hit something.

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 3>Up to this moment, I was missus Christie. After this moment,

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 3>she was someone else entirely, literally and figuratively. The crash

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 3>was the beginning of a two week long disappearance of

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Agatha Christie. Nice, I'll take a break and after this

0:18:45.680 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 3>we'll get into what happens while she's gone. All right, Elizabeth,

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 3>we're back.

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 2>So where were we?

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Right, the English country side?

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Oh, my heart like telling her story about how

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>she's feeling and she's striving and so despondent, Like I

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 2>just it's heart wrenched.

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 3>She feel her. Yeah, you can relate. You're like, oh,

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I get your girl. So, Agatha Christie, she crashed her car.

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Eventually she wakes up behind the wheel. Right, she's not dead, obviously,

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.359
<v Speaker 3>but she's still in the car. And Agatha she's banged up,

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 3>she's got blunt trauma wounds to her chest from the crash.

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 3>She has bruises on her head, like I said, though

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 3>not dead. So she's like, oh, I need to she

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.359
<v Speaker 3>probably got a concussion. Probably She's like what do I

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.159
<v Speaker 3>need to decide what to do? And so she's like,

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.439
<v Speaker 3>you know, gathers her wits. Then she climbs out of

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 3>the crash car. She walks into the English countryside. It's December,

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 3>so the trees are bare, they're just like skeletal things

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 3>on the horizon. Right, the air is cold to the skin, right,

0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 3>the crisp wintry night, you get it right, But like

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 3>a fiend arisen from the ashes. Agatha Christie would write,

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:04.679
<v Speaker 3>as I told you up to this moment, I was

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 3>missus Christie. Right in this moment on she remakes herself.

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I'm gonna go be someone else. Now she's

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 3>this new woman, reborn right there in that field, and

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 3>now she needs a new name. Right, So I'll get

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 3>to that in a second. But the next day a

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 3>boy is out walking and he finds Agatha Christie's car.

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a Morris Crowley if you're into old cars, And

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.719
<v Speaker 3>the thing was all left all parked Yankee style, right,

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 3>it's all cock eyed at the edge of a quarry.

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 3>It looks like someone tried to like push it into

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 3>the car. What's the good place to hide something? Right?

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 3>The front wheels are dangling off the edge, okay, right? Yeah.

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 3>The only thing it was that stopped it was it

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 3>had hit like some bushes right around the edge of

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.239
<v Speaker 3>the chalk pit. Right. So there are other curious facts though.

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 3>When the cops came out to investigate, they find that

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 3>the car's gearshift was in neutral, right, which is strange.

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 3>The handbrake wasn't engaged, which that tells someone who's you know, investigating.

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 3>It looks like someone was trying to roll the car,

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.199
<v Speaker 3>push the car, right. But Agatha Christie, she couldn't be

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.120
<v Speaker 3>strong enough to push a car all a cliff into

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 3>a quarry, right, So what was her plan? Maybe she's

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 3>just gonna roll it down a hill. Yeah, we don't know.

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 3>It's inconclusive, right. What we do know is that Agatha

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Christie walked to a railway station and then, as she

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 3>put it, he's strange the railway authority they had did

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 3>not recall me as I was covered with mud and

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 3>I had speared blood on my face from a cut

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:21.160
<v Speaker 3>on my hand.

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Wait, that's why they didn't recall her. Is everyone walking

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 2>around buddy and bloody? Because like in.

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen twenties in England, I don't know. Can you tell me?

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she got in with the union busters. I don't

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 3>know Elizabeth, but they didn't recognize her. Right. So there

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 3>she is at King's Cross train station, one of my favorites.

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I've been to that one so many times. Right, So

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.399
<v Speaker 3>she purchases herself a ticket to a resort spa in

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 3>a town called Harrowgate. I may be pronouncing that Harrowgate

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 3>up in Surrey. At the station, she grabs a taxi cab.

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 3>When she gets up to Harrowgate and she asked the

0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 3>driver to take her out to the Hydropathic Hotel.

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 2>That sounds awesome.

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Then that sounds awesome. It's a resort spa. Right, Agata

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 3>walks in. She's a lone, no luggage. She tells the

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 3>front desk that she'd recently arrived from South Africa and

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 3>her name, wait for it, Teresa Neil.

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I was hoping for Agatha v. Stallion.

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Now now miss Regina Corntower. It comes and making up

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 3>a new name. She picked the last name of her mistress,

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Nancy Neil. She became Teresa Neil.

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, there's a lot of what's like psychological.

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 3>What's your take on that name choice? You know?

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know. I'm guessing that the Neil gal

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 2>is younger, Yes, yes, yeah? And so oh.

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.159
<v Speaker 3>Is she framing her husband? Is she taking on the

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.360
<v Speaker 3>identity in some strange pathology?

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say it's that. I mean, I don't know.

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 3>No one can know, no one either way. The resort

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 3>spa manager. He escorts the new missus Neil upstairs and

0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 3>to as Agatha put it, a good room on the

0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.680
<v Speaker 3>first floor, fitted with hot and cold water because remember

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 3>nineteen So you don't promised to cold water in Oh yeah,

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 3>real nice. Right. So she's made it, she's made her break.

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 3>She's in the hotel, she's got a new name, a

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 3>new self. So what does she do next? What does

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 3>she do now that she's an anonymous and a lone

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 3>formerly famous person. Well to answer that, Elizabeth, I'd like

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 3>you to close your eyes as a club and picture it.

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 3>It's early December nineteen twenty six. There is a piano plane.

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 3>You know the tune. It's the recent hit song, Yes

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 3>we have no Bananas. You, Elizabeth, are currently not at

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 3>a speakeasy in New York or a slanky private music

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 3>club in London. Nope, you're at a health spa and

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 3>resort in the English countryside, and you are a patient

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:39.479
<v Speaker 3>at the resort, that's what they call the guests at

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.199
<v Speaker 3>this spa. And you are a wealthy Glasswegian woman of

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 3>a certain age who's come to this spot to get

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 3>her humor's balanced to like the ancient Greeks.

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Ah, that's great.

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 3>So that's what your latest doctor told you. Your health

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 3>requires some time at a spa, so you found this

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 3>spa to convalesce. Now that you've been here for a

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.439
<v Speaker 3>few weeks, you're feeling much better, and you've come to

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:01.360
<v Speaker 3>enjoy the night times. For Dressed in one of your

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 3>favorite moomoos, you come downstairs, drawn by the sound of

0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 3>the music. Tonight there's a soiree of sorts. They're in

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.159
<v Speaker 3>the downstairs ballroom. Guests are dancing, some seated at tables

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 3>that encircle the dance floor. They're drinking punch. Others are

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:18.479
<v Speaker 3>drinking healthy cocktails like gin and carrot juice. That's so healthy,

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Hey man, what are you talking about one of the

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 3>new patients. A single middle aged woman is behind the

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 3>keys of the piano. She's playing that light and airy

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 3>pop song, Yes we have no bananas, as she sort

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 3>of half sings the lyrics, the bouncy words, dance right

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 3>along with the patients.

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 7>Yes we have no bananas. We have no bananas today.

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 7>Our eggs are delicious, but they act suspicious. They look

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 7>like they passed away. If you try some of our spinish,

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 7>we'll tell you you're finish. But yes, we have no bananas.

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 7>We have no bananas today.

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>And with that, all the relaxation I've gained at the

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>spaws gone.

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 3>The woman behind the keys, missus Neil, as she calls herself.

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, she's really bitch, chaps.

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Up from the piano. Another patient takes over for her.

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 3>Missus Neil spins and pirouettes onto the dance floor, all

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 3>gayety and joy. You spoke with Missus Neil earlier today

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:14.399
<v Speaker 3>at lunch. You recognize her. She remember she told you

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.399
<v Speaker 3>she's from South Africa. That's right, and sadly she lost

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 3>a son not too long ago. Yet the loss of

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 3>her son doesn't show up in her glowing smile as

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.399
<v Speaker 3>she dances towards you. You find that Missus Neil is

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 3>rather good at the Charleston. It's the dance craze at

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 3>the moment on both sides of the Atlantic. She even

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.479
<v Speaker 3>shows you how to move your hands and knees in

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 3>that jazzy way, the coordinated knock knees dance step of

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 3>the Charleston. You laugh as you attempt at talk talk talk.

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 3>You're a quick study, and with not much time you're

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 3>doing the Charleston better than Missus Neil. She's not as

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 3>good a dancer as you are. After a few turns

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.399
<v Speaker 3>on the dance floor, Missus Neil is winded, so she

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 3>returns to the piano. She warbles out a few more tunes.

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 3>You lean on the piano with another patient. When either

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 3>of you recognize a song, you sing along, but Missus

0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Neil seems to prefer the upbeat jazzy tunes, so you

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 3>don't recognize many of them. You sip from your gin

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and carrot juice. This is the life. You'd have no

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 3>reason to believe that you've just spent the night carrying

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 3>on and carousing with Agatha Christie, the most famous woman

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 3>in the world, who isn't a Queen.

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth man if I if I could still drink booze.

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I loved gin. You love carrot juice, and I love

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 2>carrot juice.

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 3>You got this gin and juice carrots?

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:28.960
<v Speaker 2>That sounds kind of good. Blood orange juice.

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Dress it up, yeah, put a fur coat on it.

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.359
<v Speaker 3>I like that. Okay, so good. Well, other than dancing,

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 3>carrying on and sipping on your gin and juice, did.

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 2>You did you know how to do the Charleston when

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 2>you were a kid?

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Of course I was one of those kids.

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Think I was raised like my grandparents helped raise me,

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:47.160
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's why I talked to propaganda poster.

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.640
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, like totally did the Charleston as a kid.

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a great dance. What's up at that?

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 2>But let's start teaching kids with Charleston?

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.679
<v Speaker 3>I think we should. So other than dancing, you know,

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 3>carousing and hanging out with Agatha Christie and shaking your knees. So, yes,

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 3>we have no bananas. What else did Agatha Christie get

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:05.399
<v Speaker 3>up to while she was on her break?

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Cocaine? No, surprisingly, you're telling a story.

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I have no cocaine in the story. Can you believe it?

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 3>And also it's like surprising how much cocaine shows up

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 3>when I hate cocaine. Here's cocaine again, and.

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Two of us are like, it's disgusting.

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:23.199
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about let's talk about how stupid it is,

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.800
<v Speaker 3>so silly, and what terrible decisions you make and one

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 3>of the things you will sacrifice for if anyway, there's

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 3>no cocaine in this story. But I did think you'd

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 3>appreciate this Elizabeth, what she did decide to do.

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, she slept in, Oh god, bless super late.

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 3>She slept in late. And then she took breakfast in bed. Yes,

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:42.679
<v Speaker 3>she lazed about. She just let Agatha be Agatha every day,

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 3>breakfast in bed.

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll hire her at slots, and I'm heart.

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:49.640
<v Speaker 3>She also, you're kind of girl. She she read a lot.

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 3>The resources spot had a library, and the librarian helped

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 3>her find mysteries to read, because Agatha wasn't just a writer,

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 3>she was also a reader.

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 2>She's painting herself by reading through her old stuff like

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 2>crap I should, and she's.

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Making to have dog airing the pages.

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Or like I nailed it on that one.

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 3>The other thing that she was reading a lot of

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 3>was the newspapers covering crew with disappearance. So she's just

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 3>sitting there reading them, hoping nobody recognize that, right, and

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 3>of course they don't. So in her bedchambers though, she

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 3>did keep a frame picture of her daughter on her

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.239
<v Speaker 3>bedside table because she did still think about her. She

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 3>wasn't planning on disappearing from her entire life. She was

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 3>just kind of taking a break. She'd not forgotten about her,

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 3>right And so, as I told you, she arrived alone

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 3>with no luggage. She had no clothes, so homegirl needed

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 3>to go shopping. So that was the other thing she did,

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 3>like day two, she went out and bought herself some luggage,

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 3>a whole new wardrobe because there's going to be a

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 3>new miss thing. She's got all sorts of sundryes. As

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 3>she put it, she bought a new hat, a coat,

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 3>evening shoes, books, magazines, pencil and fruit and various toilet requisites.

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 3>So she bought herself with femine napkins.

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, you know, she got like you know, rose water

0:28:55.640 --> 0:29:00.240
<v Speaker 2>for her skin. Oh that kind of tilt requis toilet trees.

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 3>I thought requisites was like a British euphemism for like, you.

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Know, yeah, what you require a woman would require. So

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:10.719
<v Speaker 2>she probably got like powders and skinry, you know.

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 3>And I've seen that written on old machines. I think

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 3>it's the funniest term.

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>They used to have it where apparently like it was

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>before my time, like I don't know, have some contraptions.

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Attached one into another.

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Exactly like a parachute.

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, So that night, the second night she goes down,

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 3>she shows up for dinner. She's all decked out in

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 3>her new.

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Duds, big pat on.

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 3>She also had a very tipey scarf that she had

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 3>picked up. I like a good scarf, I know you do,

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 3>so I bring that up right. So she's out there

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 3>obviously got her new friends. They're noticing the scarf right well,

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 3>one of the employees she noticed the scarf, and she's like,

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 3>oh right, like everyone's just taking now taking notice of this,

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 3>like creature come alive. Right. So, as I told you,

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 3>the second night act of the Christie, she's chilling with

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 3>her new friends. She played billiards. She was apparently pretty good,

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 3>but she could rack them right. So she played piano again,

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:16.320
<v Speaker 3>saying more popular tunes with the jazz as if she's

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 3>just doing sets. At this point, she's like she got

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:20.360
<v Speaker 3>a big, like one of those whiskey glass of the

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 3>dollars and on top of her piano. Anyway, the resorts

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Spat had an entertainment director, as I told you, kind

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 3>of like a cruise ship. Will just imagine that her

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 3>name was Miss Corbett. She was the one who started

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 3>to really take notice of the new patient and she

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 3>noticed the beautiful scarf. She also noticed that there was

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 3>a price tag still attached, so she's like feeling sorry

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 3>for her, But I don't think she's recognizing that this

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 3>is like the behavior of someone on the lamb, right,

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 3>She's like thinking, oh, she forgot only go get some

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 3>scissors or whatever. So on the next few days, other

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 3>guests they start to have their suspicions about this new person, missus.

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Neil mini pearl hat with the teg zach.

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 3>So you see by now at this point the London

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 3>press is going crazy. Right, they discovered that ACTAA Christie's missing.

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:00.080
<v Speaker 3>It's front page new.

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 2>The quarries exactly there.

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 3>They've got police everywhere. But finally they publish a portrait

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 3>of her on the front page. So now, because you

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 3>don't they don't really have photography dominating newspapers in.

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 2>The nineteen twenty sketchy exactly.

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.640
<v Speaker 3>So they finally get an image of her. Right. So

0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:20.239
<v Speaker 3>now back at the health spot resort, these newspapers are

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 3>arriving each day. Now they got one with her face

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 3>on it. She doesn't care. She's still reading the newspaper.

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 3>That ain't me. I don't know who that lady is.

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I would be telling people, you guys, look, I look

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 2>just like Agatha Christie wild yeah, exactly, get ahead of it, get.

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Two steps ahead that just now the hotel.

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Manage, because I keep tripping forward.

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, I wasn't going to bring that part up. I'm respectful. Now.

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 3>The hotel manager, his wife would come down around I know,

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, pick him up for work. I don't

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 3>know how, but she'd come around. And so she was

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 3>there and she's like noticing this person. Apparently she's a reader.

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 3>She reads the news. That's Agatha Christie, right. So she,

0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 3>as the hotel manager remembered, when she had been here

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 3>about days. My wife said to me, I believe that

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 3>lady is missus Christie. So the hotel manager what does

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 3>he do? He dismisses his wife's suspicions. He's like, oh

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 3>you what are you talking about? That's flat out absurd.

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Why would Agatha Christie be in Surrey? So anyway, meanwhile,

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 3>there's about three hundred constables out searching Hill and Dale

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 3>for her, right, just anywhere they can. But they begin

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 3>to have their doubts that she's alive because like, after

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 3>forty eight hours, you know how it goes. Oh, first

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 3>forty eight man, this is still still true in nineteen twenties. Man,

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna find her. Then he gets his seventy two hours,

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 3>they're like, should we tell the husband? Yeah, so the

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Bobby's as I said, they start to believe she's dead. Right,

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 3>So four days after she went missing, in three days

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 3>of searching, the police call off the hunt to find

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Agatha Christie. They're like, so much for that, you're kidding,

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Guardian to the cops. Agatha Christie's brother in law had

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.719
<v Speaker 3>received a letter apparently from Agatha, so she informed him

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 3>that she was at a resort SPA in Surrey, quote

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 3>for rest and treatment. Now our girl, Agatha like Dracula,

0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 3>she's dead and loving it, right, So she seemed to

0:32:58.760 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 3>hang it out.

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 2>She sends it a letter to her brother.

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Brother in law.

0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Was not on another end, okay, and does he give

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:09.200
<v Speaker 2>this to the cops or does he keep it hush

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>hush on the QT.

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 3>He does for a second, then he gives it to

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 3>the cops.

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, So then they're like, oh, she's not dead.

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'll get to that in a second, because there's

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:18.200
<v Speaker 3>a reason why he gets brought to the cops. But

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 3>at this point she's unaware. She's still swanning.

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Around, probably like how long does it take to get

0:33:23.040 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 2>someone declared?

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Exactly? Because he's doing well with the books, you know.

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 3>So at this point though, missus Neil is going around,

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 3>and she would say later on, I was very happy

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 3>and contented, right, she doesn't realize things are like, you know,

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 3>the walls are closing in. At the other end of

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 3>the spectrum, as her husband, Archie, he was beside himself

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 3>with worry. Of course, it was not his missing wife

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 3>that he was worried about. He was concerned for Archie.

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 3>He was writing about all these news reporters circling about

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 3>the story, you know, following anybody asking questions. He was

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 3>rather certain that they would discover that he'd been having

0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 3>a year long affair with his mister me look bad.

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 3>And he was a colonel, so he had all that

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 3>British look, not that kind of colonel. So at first

0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Archie's in Fideli. He gets overlooked, right, he's golden. No

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 3>one susses it out. Then he decides, you know, what

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 3>the hell, I'll make a colossal mistake on my own.

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 3>He decides to speak with reporters from which paper, the

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Daily Mail, all the papers, the Daily Mail.

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Captain good decisions there, keep the streak going.

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 3>To the tabloid reporters. They do their due diligence, Elizabeth.

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 3>They ask him about his side piece, They're like, hey,

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 3>what's up in missus Neal. Archie wheels about in his

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 3>mind trying to decide what he's going to say. Right,

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:37.360
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't know he's grasping for an excuse. So he

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 3>while he's thinking, he sort of just half attacks the

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 3>reporters out of instinct. Right, I told you he's a colonel.

0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 3>He's like attack, So he says, and I quote, it

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 3>is absolutely untrue to suggest there was anything in the

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 3>nature of a row or a tiff between my wife

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:55.919
<v Speaker 3>and myself on Friday morning. I strongly depreciate introducing any

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 3>tittle tattoo into this matter.

0:34:58.520 --> 0:34:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Quit your tittle tattle.

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 3>At tabloid reporters. That's their job, is tittletable.

0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 3>So, in his panic of self defense, the husband he

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 3>throws his wife fully under the bus. He's like, he

0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.720
<v Speaker 3>raises the prospect that maybe his wife missing on purpose.

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she planned and designed this, you know, carried out

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 3>her own disappearance. He's like, ask Agatha when you find her.

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, they were still locking women up for being exactly hysterical.

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so Archie Christie told the Daily Mail reporters, quote,

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:28.919
<v Speaker 3>my wife had discussed the possibility of disappearing at will.

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Engineering a disappearance had been running through her mind, probably

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 3>for the purpose of work. Personally, I feel that is

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 3>what happened. Right. So back to the constables on the

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 3>search for the missing mystery writer. They aren't entirely convinced

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 3>of the letter to the brother in law. They're like,

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 3>isn't that something that a husband is trying to hide

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:49.400
<v Speaker 3>a murder would do? Like, oh, yeah, my brother, he

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 3>got a letter from my wife saying she's fine, it's cool,

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 3>it's cool, don't worry about it, because he bets. We know,

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 3>whenever a woman, married woman goes missing, who's the first suspect?

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the husband rightfully, the husband.

0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Right exactly. So December tenth rolls around. We're now about

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 3>a week after she first went missing. The police now

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 3>they decide to bring out the dogs because Archie, he's

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 3>one hell of a suspect. He just oozes with the

0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 3>foul scent of guilt. So they're like, we may be

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:15.280
<v Speaker 3>able to find a body. So they bring out the dogs.

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 3>The dogs, the hounds. They bring out. They can't find it.

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 3>They just start barking and whining. Nothing. Right, So the

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 3>London Times reported that the constables quote are now said

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 3>to be of the opinion that it is a case

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:28.880
<v Speaker 3>of suicide. Oh yeah. So the public though, still hungering

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 3>to find what happened to this famous writer. So the

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 3>papers continue to cover the story with constant front page updates.

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:37.960
<v Speaker 3>By the next week, the story begins to shift. And

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 3>after this break, Elizabeth, I'll tell you how the story shifted.

0:36:41.640 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, all right, Elizabeth, we're back as I was telling you,

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 5>stories were shifting.

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, people were looking for dead bodies. Yeah, were not

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:12.920
<v Speaker 3>dead because they were dancing in and exactly just being

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 3>their best Agatha. So at this point on Tuesday, they

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:20.360
<v Speaker 3>basically we're a week into her being gone, an editorial

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 3>gets published. Once again, the Daily Mail steps into it.

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.600
<v Speaker 3>The writer for the Daily Mail, they argue that if

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 3>the rumors are indeed true, and the letter to the

0:37:29.239 --> 0:37:33.240
<v Speaker 3>brother in law is accurate, and Agatha Christie is indeed alive,

0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:35.680
<v Speaker 3>then this is a terrible hoax to pull on the

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 3>people who loved and supported her. The writer he basically

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 3>called it, to quote, a heartless, practical joke. So this point,

0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:45.879
<v Speaker 3>we're December twelfth, Okay, just give you a date night,

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 3>nine days after she's disappeared. The next day, the cops

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.800
<v Speaker 3>still at it. They're still looking for something. Agatha Christie's

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 3>still laying low. People's suspicions ratcheted up. Everyone that the

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 3>spa is like, I'm pretty sure that dying crush, right, Yeah,

0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:00.440
<v Speaker 3>she's still running with it. And however, the cops at

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 3>this point they're no longer convinced she's dead. They've at

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:04.440
<v Speaker 3>least caught up to the idea. You know what, she

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 3>may not be dead. They now believe she's on the

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.440
<v Speaker 3>run somewhere. They're like, we don't know where, but we

0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:09.799
<v Speaker 3>think she's on the run. So they what do they

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 3>do for clues? Elizabeth? They turned to her books. They're like,

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 3>why don't we start reading her books for clues? So

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:19.160
<v Speaker 3>they read the manuscript of her newest novel. They're like,

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 3>let's see what that is about, right, because it's just

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:22.440
<v Speaker 3>about to come out, but it hasn't come out yet.

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.200
<v Speaker 3>And the book is called the Blue Train. They're like,

0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 3>the Blue Train to wear She's on the train now.

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 3>I may not be doing a really good job of covering,

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:32.400
<v Speaker 3>like how big this search was for Agatha Christie. So

0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:35.719
<v Speaker 3>for just for give you some numbers and some scale.

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 3>This marked the first time that a plane was ever

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 3>used in England to search for a missing person. Oh,

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:43.240
<v Speaker 3>there were so many people out looking on the grounds

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 3>that they put the number right between ten and fifteen

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:49.960
<v Speaker 3>thousand individuals. It's people, just locals out there looking like

0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 3>I've got my dog in a cane and a walking stead,

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:53.719
<v Speaker 3>let's go see if you can find him. As I

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 3>mentioned dogs, they had trained animals as in and I

0:38:57.160 --> 0:39:01.320
<v Speaker 3>quote six trained bloodhounds, a crate looad of of Aarradale terriers,

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 3>many retrievers and Alsatian police dogs and even the services

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:06.440
<v Speaker 3>of common mongrels.

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Wait, that sounds like the greatest group of dogs.

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:10.400
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like your next birthday party.

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like my dream back.

0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:16.000
<v Speaker 3>So the hunt drags on despite all the dogs and

0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:19.520
<v Speaker 3>all the locals looking cops they pull out their latest theory.

0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.799
<v Speaker 3>They go, okay, we're gonna ask for the public for help.

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 3>The bobbies they now believe that Acta Christie is on

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 3>the run and she may be hiding out in London.

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Not only that, but she was quote likely disguised and

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:35.360
<v Speaker 3>probably in mail attire. Oh so now are supposed to

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:38.360
<v Speaker 3>be going up to men who don't have a sloth

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 3>th goo, are you act at the Christy? Give them

0:39:40.560 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 3>the once over? So the cops they all mentioned that

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.279
<v Speaker 3>there may or may not be a sealed envelope with

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 3>the specific instruction that it should only be opened on

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:51.000
<v Speaker 3>the event that her body was discovered. So now they're

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 3>ratcheting up the stakes. So basically the Daily Mail and

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:54.800
<v Speaker 3>the police are competing for who can come up with

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 3>the craziest theory.

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Didn't finish the manuscript of this book.

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:01.960
<v Speaker 3>To help in this case. Forgot the spiritualist because this

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 3>is the highest spiritualism time they come rushing in psychics

0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 3>of all they come by the score. They stepped forward.

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 3>In one news story there was in London Times. The

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 3>psychic reported that I get the Christie was indeed alive

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:16.719
<v Speaker 3>and well and would be found very soon, which turned

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 3>out to be correct. But the psychic really had a

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 3>fifty to fifty chancel on that one. So I mean,

0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:21.799
<v Speaker 3>like what to be given them? Like, oh, she's you

0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 3>alive or dead?

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 2>This is such a fantastic I say, that is it.

0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:29.439
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting it's the most interesting period of time

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 2>for me in like not necessarily just European but mostly

0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 2>British English culture of the time between the wars. Yes,

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 2>completely the mindset of it, and there's like this identity

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>but yet they know that they've like they're doing things

0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:48.080
<v Speaker 2>not knowing what's about to happen. Yes, well, oh man,

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 2>I love.

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 3>It so so okay, remember once again I told you

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the author of Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

0:40:57.040 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 3>He was big in a spiritualism to the show. Oh

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:00.759
<v Speaker 3>my god, that the friend to the show. He got

0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:02.880
<v Speaker 3>his own gear and once he heard his peer in

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:09.319
<v Speaker 3>the mystery game was missing, he's like, oh, threw on

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 3>the deer stalker hat and he was like, grab my

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 3>wife's crystal ball, let's do this. Right. So somehow, Sir Arthur,

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I need to get some personal property. So

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.279
<v Speaker 3>he gets a hold of Agatha Christie's personal property. He

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 3>gets his hand on one of Agatha Christie's gloves. Don't

0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 3>ask me how. He takes the glove to a spiritualist.

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:27.400
<v Speaker 3>The psychic did the routine and then she declared Agatha

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Christie is alive.

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh.

0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 3>And not only that, but she'll be found soon.

0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 2>She is mad.

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 3>Both times pistols the spiritusts were correct. She would be

0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:41.759
<v Speaker 3>found very soon. So the next day, December fourteenth, the

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 3>police announced they found new evidence, not Agatha Christie, but

0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 3>new evidence. They found new clues, namely quote a bottle

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.680
<v Speaker 3>labeled poison, lead and opium, some fragments of a torn

0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:54.400
<v Speaker 3>up postcard, a woman's fur lined coat, a box of

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:57.080
<v Speaker 3>face powder, the end of a loaf of bread, a

0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:59.760
<v Speaker 3>cardboard box, and two children's books.

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Where did they find these things?

0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 3>This sounds like the you're giving away your next birthday party.

0:42:05.040 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Fish hooks, gum drops. Where did they find her car?

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe Oh I thought it was just like in

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:11.520
<v Speaker 2>the world.

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, this is he says. They walked around. We

0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:17.879
<v Speaker 3>think this could be hers that's my coat. Well it's

0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:18.600
<v Speaker 3>now a clue.

0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:20.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking your coat in the end of the loaf

0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 2>of your breath.

0:42:21.480 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 3>And the rest of this whiskey. Okay. Not only that,

0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:28.240
<v Speaker 3>the detectives they also declare that they believe missus Christy

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 3>had left her home on purpose with no intention of returning.

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.280
<v Speaker 3>So now they're trying to refine their announcements. The police

0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:36.560
<v Speaker 3>they also continue to investigate the husband because they're not

0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 3>entirely certain about old arch Right. One of Archie's colleagues

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 3>at this time, he was quoted in a paper. He

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 3>said he was in a terribly nervous state and told

0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.960
<v Speaker 3>me the police had followed him and we're now waiting outside.

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:50.080
<v Speaker 3>They think I murdered my wife, he said. So he's

0:42:50.080 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 3>like going around screaming to his friends that they think you.

0:42:52.560 --> 0:42:55.480
<v Speaker 3>People were like, yeah, well, you know, Archie, you act

0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 3>a certain way exactly. Anyway, all as all these theories

0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:02.200
<v Speaker 3>and suspicions start to come to a had two underemployed musicians,

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:06.799
<v Speaker 3>that's right, two under musicians. They cracked the case because

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 3>they worked at the resorts Spa and they saw her

0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:11.840
<v Speaker 3>all the time. That's Agatha Christie. So they when they

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:14.839
<v Speaker 3>confirmed that Archie was indeed no murder by coming forward

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:16.400
<v Speaker 3>and going, yeah, you can find her right here. The

0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:19.640
<v Speaker 3>cops show up, the newspaper reporters show up, and they're like, oh, yeah,

0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:23.240
<v Speaker 3>that's Agatha Christie. So the next day, December fifteenth, aga

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 3>Christie is discovered to be alive and indeed at a

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:30.400
<v Speaker 3>hotel resorts spa. All the newspapers they start printing everything

0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 3>they can about this, and the interesting point is that

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:34.680
<v Speaker 3>they find out that she's been staying out of the

0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:39.240
<v Speaker 3>name of her husband's mistress. So now the story gets

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:40.839
<v Speaker 3>so now that Agatha.

0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:43.719
<v Speaker 2>So it's only the last name, it's not the first thing, Teresa.

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Neil and yeah, exactly kind of exactly. So once she's found,

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 3>what does Agatha Christie do? What does she say? How

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 3>does she what does she tell? The public has all

0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:56.080
<v Speaker 3>these questions? How does she explain her sudden abrupt absence

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:56.680
<v Speaker 3>from her own life?

0:43:56.680 --> 0:43:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth, I'm going to guess the car accident.

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a good but but what does she say? What

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 3>do you think she grabbed? She like, was there a deer.

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 2>End forever and I didn't know who I was?

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's good to stick to simple. Yeah, well, she

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 3>would be proud to know that she did what any

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:13.360
<v Speaker 3>good fabricator of stories would do.

0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, she lied, good for her.

0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got to Chrissy told the detectives that she

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 3>did indeed hit her head in the car crash. She

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:23.440
<v Speaker 3>bruised her dome and was temporarily knocked unconscious, so she

0:44:23.440 --> 0:44:25.920
<v Speaker 3>had no memory of the past eleven days. Okay, so

0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:29.000
<v Speaker 3>she's covered the whole time, right. The cops say they were.

0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:30.520
<v Speaker 3>They were like, but you don't have a bruise on

0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:32.279
<v Speaker 3>your forehead, and she's like, oh, it's been two weeks.

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:33.680
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing?

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Exactly?

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:34.799
<v Speaker 5>I was.

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I was psychically murdered by my husband.

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:41.359
<v Speaker 3>He broke back exactly. So there's the question of her

0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:44.920
<v Speaker 3>transient amnesia. Is that and that's hard. You can't see that,

0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:46.440
<v Speaker 3>you can't detect it, So they have to take her

0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:49.239
<v Speaker 3>word for it, or possibly the word of doctors. Right.

0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:53.240
<v Speaker 3>So meanwhile there's her sad sack half a man husband, Archie.

0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:55.520
<v Speaker 3>He arrives at the hotel resort spot to pick up

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:57.720
<v Speaker 3>his wife and bring her home. What do you think happens?

0:44:57.880 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 2>She can't get in the car.

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.200
<v Speaker 3>He was met by a stony silence. That's a quote.

0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:04.640
<v Speaker 3>And then he eventually he's like, you know, we can

0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 3>get you out of this. So he sticks to her

0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 3>story and he says, oh yes, he tells all the

0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:10.840
<v Speaker 3>gathered reporters, so she doesn't have to talk to him

0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 3>that quote. She does not know who she is. She

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 3>just suffered from the most complete loss of memory, like

0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:18.040
<v Speaker 3>even my mistress.

0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, he's hoping.

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:21.799
<v Speaker 3>So the couple they employ an act of subterfuge to

0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 3>escape the resort, spa and the press. They use a

0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:26.680
<v Speaker 3>pair of decoys that go out dressed as the couple.

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.520
<v Speaker 3>They got the front door and the meanwhile the couple

0:45:28.560 --> 0:45:31.080
<v Speaker 3>they escape through the side door. Right, So now she's

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:33.200
<v Speaker 3>able to get home. They take the train and they

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:35.160
<v Speaker 3>get to London. There's all these people waiting for her.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:37.360
<v Speaker 3>She's like, oh, dear lord, she's a writer, right, so

0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:39.400
<v Speaker 3>she's introverted. This is not what she wants. You want

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:41.080
<v Speaker 3>to get away, and now everything's closing in on her

0:45:41.080 --> 0:45:43.320
<v Speaker 3>and they all have faces right, right, So the press

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.799
<v Speaker 3>also is keen to crucify Agatha Christie because of what

0:45:46.840 --> 0:45:50.319
<v Speaker 3>they now believe is a presumed hoax. Because one, there's

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 3>the costly distraction for all the people and the police,

0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:55.759
<v Speaker 3>the volunteers, but also Agatha Christie had a new book

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 3>coming out, so they assume this is all publicity, so

0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:01.320
<v Speaker 3>they rail against her. So in her defense, Agatha Christie,

0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:03.640
<v Speaker 3>she calls in doctors to examine her and prove that

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:07.040
<v Speaker 3>she's had in a legitimate medical episode. The doctors they

0:46:07.040 --> 0:46:10.720
<v Speaker 3>interviewer at her sister's house. Agatha confesses to the doctors everything,

0:46:11.080 --> 0:46:12.960
<v Speaker 3>and by everything, I mean she had no clear memory

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 3>of anything. So she was like, I don't know anything,

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.360
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, oh, that sounds legit to us. So

0:46:17.680 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 3>she says, only thing that she has is some hazy

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:21.920
<v Speaker 3>memory of that she went by missus Neil, but she

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:24.600
<v Speaker 3>doesn't know why she gave that name, and even though

0:46:24.680 --> 0:46:26.680
<v Speaker 3>that is her husband's mistress, and so they're like, okay,

0:46:26.800 --> 0:46:28.759
<v Speaker 3>good to us. The doctors listened to Agatha Christie, the

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:31.280
<v Speaker 3>examined her, and then they announced their findings. The doctors

0:46:31.400 --> 0:46:34.840
<v Speaker 3>both of them agree missus Christie has had about of amnesia.

0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:37.360
<v Speaker 3>So the story goes, this didn't end the cries of

0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:40.560
<v Speaker 3>hoax and fraud. Elizabeth, we got tabloids on her exactly

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:43.440
<v Speaker 3>so months after she was found safe and mostly sound,

0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:46.440
<v Speaker 3>an MP in Parliament decides to go and rail against

0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:48.600
<v Speaker 3>her and like drum up some business for himself. He's

0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 3>from your old stomping grounds, Glasgow, Govind, I say that right,

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:53.040
<v Speaker 3>huh okay Glasgow, Govin, not.

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.600
<v Speaker 2>S Glasgow, glass Glasgow.

0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Glasgow, Glasgow, Glasgow.

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Glas Go glads go there you go.

0:47:01.440 --> 0:47:05.319
<v Speaker 3>Govin, Here you go, MP mister Neil McLean McLean. He

0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:07.879
<v Speaker 3>put forth a question to the Home Secretary and he said,

0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:11.200
<v Speaker 3>the number of the Metropolitan Police specially detailed for the

0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 3>search of missus Agatha Christie. The time occupied and the

0:47:14.120 --> 0:47:16.880
<v Speaker 3>total cost including the wages of the office are so detailed,

0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:20.160
<v Speaker 3>or like, basically there was a price to the Crown

0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:22.480
<v Speaker 3>that was impossible to pay it. So he goes saying

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:24.520
<v Speaker 3>that we need to have an investigation into this, right,

0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:26.920
<v Speaker 3>So he's just trying to drum up business for himself. Anyway.

0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:29.000
<v Speaker 3>The reasons for all the suspicions in the hubbub was

0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:30.480
<v Speaker 3>at Agatha Christie. As I told you, had the new

0:47:30.520 --> 0:47:33.360
<v Speaker 3>book out, so everyone assumed it was a capitalistic play.

0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:36.880
<v Speaker 3>But also if you recall the front pages splashed on

0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:39.680
<v Speaker 3>newspapers across the globe, we're also portraying her husband as

0:47:39.719 --> 0:47:42.440
<v Speaker 3>a lying, cheating, no good, sad sack excuse of the

0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 3>man once it came out about the mistress, So now

0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.400
<v Speaker 3>that starts being well, maybe she was trying to get it.

0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Now the debate is, was she trying to get away

0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:52.680
<v Speaker 3>from him? So, well, what about the mistress? We haven't

0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:55.040
<v Speaker 3>talked about her at all? Yeah, what is she dealing

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 3>now that she's the scapegoat for all of this and

0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:01.080
<v Speaker 3>people are either she knows he's mare exactly, she'd be

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:04.160
<v Speaker 3>well aware the mistress. In the wake of the scandal,

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:08.280
<v Speaker 3>her parents, her poor British parents, they were shook, scandalized, embarrassed.

0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:11.279
<v Speaker 3>So they to protect their daughter and their good name,

0:48:11.360 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 3>they sent Nancy on a trip around the world. They

0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:16.600
<v Speaker 3>did ten month long trip around the world. She got

0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:19.400
<v Speaker 3>a reward for this, so, I mean, you're going to

0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:21.520
<v Speaker 3>be scandalized. That's the way to do it, really, I mean,

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 3>this is a free trip around the world, no internet,

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:26.200
<v Speaker 3>nothing anyway. This, however, was not the end of their

0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:28.879
<v Speaker 3>illicit love story, because in March of nineteen twenty eight,

0:48:28.960 --> 0:48:31.960
<v Speaker 3>fifteen months after she disappeared, Agatha Christie sued her husband

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:35.040
<v Speaker 3>for divorce. Two years after that, her ex husband married again,

0:48:35.120 --> 0:48:37.880
<v Speaker 3>can you guess who we married? His new bride, Nancy

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:40.120
<v Speaker 3>new Oh yeah, she came back around the world, came

0:48:40.160 --> 0:48:42.160
<v Speaker 3>back from her trip, and she's like, I still love him,

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:46.400
<v Speaker 3>and so Agatha Christie though Elizabeth, she also got remarried

0:48:46.600 --> 0:48:49.840
<v Speaker 3>in nineteen thirty. Her new husband far more her speed.

0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.040
<v Speaker 3>He was an archaeologist from the British Museum.

0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's cool.

0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 3>So he's a thief, a professional thief. For their honeymoon,

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:00.239
<v Speaker 3>the new couple went down to the Holy Land, where

0:49:00.280 --> 0:49:04.719
<v Speaker 3>her husband conducted an excavation. Yeah, there you go. I'm

0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:06.560
<v Speaker 3>just saying, is she got to her happy place. She

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.400
<v Speaker 3>had a husband. It was dusty and been interesting. Like her,

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:11.840
<v Speaker 3>she's like, oh I love this, and she got rid

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:13.440
<v Speaker 3>of the old sad sack Colonel Archi.

0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then the Neil lady needs to realize that

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:20.000
<v Speaker 2>how it starts is how it ends. So he's probably

0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:21.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a wandering eye.

0:49:21.480 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Now, later on, you remember I said that there

0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:26.560
<v Speaker 3>were the rumors of murder. Yeah, yeah, like well, it

0:49:26.600 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 3>would have been claimed by some, including a nineteen seventy

0:49:29.080 --> 0:49:31.640
<v Speaker 3>nine movie called Agatha, which, apparently people who like Agatha

0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Christie say, is a terrible movie. Anyway, that her disappearance

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 3>in the car crash at the query, all of it

0:49:36.000 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 3>was designed to frame her husband for her disappearance and

0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:41.640
<v Speaker 3>her subsequent murder, that she was going to off herself

0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:44.680
<v Speaker 3>and blame him. Many folks like to say that Agatha

0:49:44.760 --> 0:49:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Christie never spoke about her disappearance. I'll say, oh, we

0:49:47.480 --> 0:49:49.440
<v Speaker 3>don't know why she did it. Well, that's not exactly

0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:51.439
<v Speaker 3>true if you dig deep enough that she did talk

0:49:51.480 --> 0:49:53.799
<v Speaker 3>about it, just once right in an interview with the

0:49:53.800 --> 0:49:57.200
<v Speaker 3>tabloid newspaper once again the Daily Mail heading that story

0:49:57.320 --> 0:49:59.399
<v Speaker 3>conducted in nineteen twenty eight, so it's two years after

0:49:59.400 --> 0:50:01.560
<v Speaker 3>the incidents, ill fresh and not like twenty years later.

0:50:02.040 --> 0:50:04.600
<v Speaker 3>So she explained how the afternoon she disappeared, and after

0:50:04.600 --> 0:50:06.400
<v Speaker 3>her husband told her he wanted a divorce and he

0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.640
<v Speaker 3>walked out, she'd first taken a driver with her daughter,

0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:11.040
<v Speaker 3>and then she debated what to do next and take

0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:13.560
<v Speaker 3>it away. Agatha, there came into my mind the thought

0:50:13.560 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 3>of driving into it. However, as my daughter was with

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:17.960
<v Speaker 3>me in the car, I dismissed the idea at once,

0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 3>and driving into it is the quarry, sure? And then

0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 3>she said that night I felt terribly miserable I felt

0:50:22.560 --> 0:50:24.759
<v Speaker 3>that I could go on no longer. I left home

0:50:24.800 --> 0:50:26.680
<v Speaker 3>that night in a state of high nervous strain with

0:50:26.680 --> 0:50:29.720
<v Speaker 3>the intention of doing something desperate. So that night, without

0:50:29.719 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 3>her daughter in the car, is when she acted on

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:33.480
<v Speaker 3>the impulse, and it may not have been the best plan.

0:50:33.600 --> 0:50:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I admit that anybody would see that, but it certainly

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 3>was irresponsible leaving her daughter alone. But thanks to her

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 3>eleven day walk about, Agatha Christie became a liberated woman.

0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:44.200
<v Speaker 3>So I assumed she left her daughter in good hands.

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:47.800
<v Speaker 3>We don't know exactly the details. My point is, sometimes

0:50:47.840 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 3>all one needs is to get away to get some perspective.

0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Right here. Her disappearance also helped catapult her into a

0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:57.240
<v Speaker 3>new level of fame, because, much like the Mona Lisa,

0:50:57.680 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 3>after it was a stolen, it became the most famous

0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:03.080
<v Speaker 3>painting the world, exactly after she stole herself, she became

0:51:03.360 --> 0:51:06.399
<v Speaker 3>the most famous woman in the world who wasn't a queen.

0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:09.839
<v Speaker 3>So there you go. So, Elizabeth, what's our ridiculous takeaway here?

0:51:09.960 --> 0:51:12.160
<v Speaker 2>You know what, sometimes you need to stop and have

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:16.759
<v Speaker 2>some me time exactly, and also don't debase yourself and

0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 2>chase something that is not good for you.

0:51:19.680 --> 0:51:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Good point my ridiculous takeaway once again, thank you for

0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:22.759
<v Speaker 3>asking a little bit.

0:51:22.800 --> 0:51:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for asking.

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:27.840
<v Speaker 3>You can't spell crime without me. Sometimes you need a

0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:30.120
<v Speaker 3>little me time, and crime is how you get there.

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:32.360
<v Speaker 3>So that's all I got for you.

0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Excellent.

0:51:33.719 --> 0:51:35.600
