:51:04
Certainly, Monsieur Inspector.
:51:11
We all did.
:51:14
- It becomes, then, a question of motive.
- The motive is very simple, monsieur.
:51:18
He wanted to get me out of the way
so he could make room for that...
:51:21
- Are you referring to MIle DuBois?
- I am.
:51:24
You heard, Monsieur Garron.
:51:26
Madame is in good voice...
and most explicit.
:51:31
Have you anything to say, monsieur?
:51:33
I deny madame's accusation.
:51:35
Do you deny, monsieur, that you had
any motive in drugging madame?
:51:39
I deny that I drugged her.
:51:41
I don't understand your reluctance
to make the arrest, Inspector.
:51:44
- You're not an examining magistrate.
- Can you substantiate
:51:47
that Mr Garron had a motive,
and that the motive was MIle DuBois?
:51:51
- Anyone with half an eye could tell you...
- Hearsay is not evidence, madame.
:51:55
I'll go over your head, Monsieur Daubert.
I have influence at the Sûreté.
:51:59
I was drugged tonight
to the point of death.
:52:02
I insist upon the arrest of
the criminal and his accomplice.
:52:05
- And if you don't, I...
- One moment, madame, please.
:52:08
You have heard Mr Garron
deny that he drugged you.
:52:10
As the inspector says,
there is no evidence.
:52:13
- And remember, madame...
- Are you suggesting that I...
:52:16
If you insist upon his arrest
and fail to obtain a conviction,
:52:19
you will find yourself in
a very difficult predicament.
:52:22
- Quite right.
- And no matter what the outcome,
:52:25
don't forget that your career
is bound to the Paris Opera.
:52:29
Whatever scandal injures us,
or any member of the company,
:52:31
- Will injure you as well.
- (Lecours) Precisely.
:52:35
Are you suggesting that
I forget the whole affair?
:52:38
Yes. For your own sake, as well as ours,
:52:41
and purely as a matter
of business expediency.
:52:44
That is exactly what
we propose, madame.
:52:46
(Lecours) Exactly.
:52:49
Very well.
:52:56
That is, under certain conditions.
