dies. The guests realize that "Mr. Owen" may be one of them. It is discovered the radio has been sabotaged and all the ammunition are blanks. Rodgers dies next with an axe buried in his head. Marion Marshall dies with a hypodermic syringe filled with poison. This puts suspicion on Dr. Werner. Lombard manages to repair the radio and makes contact with the outside; a spotter plane will be sent the next morning. At night, the terrified remaining guests admit to their guilt. A storm arrives and Wargrave dies, shot in the head. Dr. Werner dies with his throat slit. Blore barricades himself in his tent, only to be found dead the morning after, stabbed in the chest. By now, only Lombard and Vera are left, and Vera turns on Lombard with his gun. He lunges at her and she shoots him. She returns to the common tent where Wargrave, alive, is waiting, wearing his judicial robes and wig, with a noose prepared for her to fulfil the last verse of the rhyme. He forces Vera at gunpoint into the noose and explains how Dr. Werner helped him fake his own death so he would be free to spy on the rest of the party: the "red herring" from the rhyme. He then killed Dr. Werner. Wargrave explains that after being diagnosed with a terminal illness, he planned the safari - his own 'private, big game hunt'. He wanted to commit murder on a grand scale and execute justice to those 'who had escaped their hangman'. He pulls the chair out from under Vera and watches her struggle in glee as he drinks poisoned wine to kill himself as well. He dies and Lombard re-appears, alive, only grazed by the bullet Vera shot, and rescues her. They leave together as the rescue plane arrives.
