The Pale Horse will be the next story from the legendary author given the TV treatment by the BBC and Amazon, following last year’s Ordeal by Innocence and The ABC Murders (starring John Malkovich as the famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot). The Pale Horse is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.The healthy flow of Agatha Christie adaptations doesn’t appear to be drying up anytime soon. But I think in pursuing what she was keen on writing about, I think it delivers on that." "There's probably more changes in The Pale Horse than there is to any of the others that I've done. I just wound it up as far as it could go and saw what happened. Obviously lots has changed but there are certain themes of the story which are massively important to. Speaking of her ending, writer Sarah Phelps told Den of Geek, "I've changed elements of the end but not the END end. Is Mark hallucinating as a result of thallium poisoning, or was he really killed by Osbourne? It is not clear, but it is implied that the fortune tellers may have had some supernatural powers after all and have put a curse on Mark as requested by his current wife Hermia (Kaya Scodelario), who they had previously warned that her husband wanted to kill her. It seems as if he has been trapped within his own personal hell, in which he has to relive the death of his first wife over and over again.Įxactly what is happening in this scene is unclear. His first wife Delphine (Georgina Campbell), meanwhile, he sees taking the radio into the bathtub, the radio that will soon electrocute her to death. After killing Osbourne, he returns home, only to read about his own death from the newspaper. The final scenes of the Amazon Prime Video series, however, that ending gets put into question. What happened at the end of The Pale Horse? At least, that is what might have happened. This mistake, however, proved the undoing of Osbourne, as in The Pale Horse, Mark kills him. His late wife had been visiting the fortune tellers because she actually wanted her husband's fortune, hence why Mark appeared on the list with a question mark next to his name. In the ending, however, we learned that Mark had been put on this list by mistake. However, the working relationship between Osbourne and Jessie soured, leading to him murdering her, but not before she wrote a list of everyone mentioned to the fortune tellers-the list that gets Mark Easterbrook (Rufus Sewell) involved in the case after he appears on it.
The thallium is fairly untraceable, so it seems as if they have died of natural causes after a relative payed a visit to a group of women thought to be witches, making it seems as if they had died of a curse. Then, he would disguise himself as a workman and go to the victims' houses, where he would slip the poising thallium into food, cosmetics or their water supply. Rufus Sewell and Kaya Scodelario in 'The Pale Horse' Amazon Prime Video Before she died, it was Jessie's job to listen to these conversations and get all the details Osbourne needed to commit the murders. He instructed those who replied to visit the fortune tellers of Much Deeping in The Pale Horse pub, where they would discuss the relative they wanted to get rid of.
The scheme went like this: Osbourne researched a number of people who stood to gain from the death of their rich or interfering relatives, then contacted them with an offer to have them killed in a way that would not implicate them.
Zachary Osbourne (Bertie Carvel), the seemingly mild-mannered pharmacist had been working on a scheme to become an assassin for hire, and had hoped to get away with it by making everyone believe people's were dying of witches' curses. Who is the murderer in The Pale Horse?īefore things get supernatural, however, we get a rational explanation as to who has been killing all the people on Jesse Davis' (played by Madeleine Bowyer) list. However, at the end of the series, it is suggested that something supernatural may have gone on after all. Toward the end of the mini-series, based on the Agatha Christie novel of the same name, viewers think that they are finally getting a rational explanation for a spate of killing that people think are being committed by witches. The Pale Horse is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video after airing on the BBC in the UK in February.
