** After drugging Norton unconscious, Poirot wheels him back to his own room, then decides to TookALevelInBadass by donning Norton's nightrobe and [[InsigniaRipOffRitual removing his fake moustache]] before going to Hastings' room and knocking on his door to get Hastings' attention in making sure that "Norton" is alive and well. Once Poirot's masquerade as Norton is over, he returns to Norton's room and dresses him back in his own nightrobe, carries him to his bed, pulls out a revolver from his pocket, makes a DramaticGunCock and points it closer to Norton's forehead. As soon as he does, Norton wakes up with an OhCrap look on Poirot's face. Seeing that he is about to die, Norton gives off a final PsychoticSmirk, and Poirot answers back with a GrinOfAudacity and a look that says, "SeeYouInHell, Norton," before shooting him. After so many years, we get the feeling that David Suchet's Poirot is scarier without his fake moustache on.
