:39:02
If she's the niece,
the house probably belongs to her.
:39:04
And if you're trying to meet
a pretty woman...
:39:06
you've no right to use official business
as an excuse.
:39:09
It's not that, sir.
:39:11
But I tell you, sir, I have a feeling
there's something peculiar going on there.
:39:16
Perhaps even more than peculiar.
:39:18
Look here, Brian, once and for all,
the case was given up as hopeless.
:39:21
As for the matter of the jewels,
that was dropped by order...
:39:26
of a most important personage.
:39:29
Jewels?
:39:32
There's nothing here about jewels.
:39:39
There were some jewels.
They were given to her...
:39:43
by somebody very highly placed.
:39:46
Some of the crown jewels of his...
:39:49
- Of another country, as a matter of fact.
- What happened to them?
:39:53
- They disappeared.
- That's why she was murdered.
:39:56
That was the official theory.
:39:58
Though what the murderer
wanted the jewels for I can't imagine.
:40:02
They were too famous
for him to be able to sell them.
:40:04
- Have they never shown up since?
- Not as far as I know.
:40:07
Well then, where are they?
:40:10
I don't know. The murder part of the case
was pursued to the utmost...
:40:14
as you can see for yourself from that file.
There was never any case against anyone.
:40:18
There were the usual blind-alley suspects.
:40:20
You've read all their names there
in that stuff.
:40:23
And there was never anything
to prove against any of them.
:40:26
Now run along, there's a good fellow.
I'm busy.
:40:30
Very well, sir.
:40:35
Good day, sir.
:40:46
- Afternoon, Mr. Cameron.
- Williams.
:40:52
- Did you want me, sir?
- Yes.
:40:56
Tell me, you're not a married man,
are you?
:40:59
No, sir.
