:59:04
There is an excellent suggestion in this,
monsieur. You must reopen the Opera.
:59:09
- But your orders...
- Are countermanded. Reopen.
:59:11
- With MIle DuBois, monsieur?
- Of course! It should pacify this madman.
:59:16
If he doesn't harm anybody, his
being in the building doesn't matter.
:59:19
- Christine DuBois must not sing.
- What?
:59:22
And the murderer must
not remain in the building.
:59:25
- It is my duty to apprehend him.
- I don't understand.
:59:28
If Christine DuBois sings, that will satisfy
the murderer, and he may never appear.
:59:32
To lure him from his hiding place,
someone else must sing.
:59:35
Are you suggesting we reopen the Opera
with a murder as an added attraction?
:59:39
- Please, Lecours...
- I'll post police throughout the building.
:59:43
Even with the chorus onstage,
with a bodyguard for the singer.
:59:46
- But, monsieur, our reputation...
- I am reluctant to do this, monsieur.
:59:49
Particularly on MIle DuBois' account,
but I can see no other way.
:59:53
And whom do you suggest as "bait",
Monsieur Inspector?
:59:57
Whomever you decide.
:59:59
Madame Lorenzi.
She has nerve, that woman.
1:00:02
- Too much.
- Very well, then.
1:00:04
- The Opera will reopen.
- Yes, monsieur.
1:00:24
(bell)
1:00:32
- Oh.
- (both) Good morning, Christine.
1:00:34
- Good morning.
- (both) May I come in, Christine?
1:00:36
Yes, do.
1:00:50
- Well?
- (both) Christine, I...
1:00:52
- Yes?
- (both) If I might have a word...?
1:00:54
- Well, what is it?
- After you, monsieur.
1:00:56
- (both) Christine, I...
- Well, now, one at a time, please!
