:23:01
You will laugh, Inspector, but I had
pointed out Mrs. Menil to Mr. Barter.
:23:05
Actually, it was
the day she arrived.
:23:07
She sat over there, while Barter
drank his whiskey over there.
:23:10
Things must have worked out...
:23:13
because a little later
they went upstairs together.
:23:16
Interesting.
:23:25
Would you kindly let Mrs. Menil
know that I'd like to see her?
:23:28
I'm afraid that's impossible.
She just took a sleeping pill.
:23:31
- Is she asleep yet?
- No, but--
:23:33
- Then I'd like to see her.
- Can't it wait until tomorrow?
:23:35
Unfortunately, it can't.
:23:37
My name is Kras.
:23:39
Inspector Kras.
:23:47
A man by the name of Inspector Kras
insists he must see you.
:23:51
Is this necessary?
Why do people torture me so?
:23:54
Please...
:23:56
but take the lady's health
into consideration.
:24:00
Please forgive the late visit,
but I'm afraid it's quite urgent.
:24:04
Please make it quick.
I feel faint.
:24:07
Do you remember a man
by the name of Barter?
:24:10
Barter? No.
:24:12
A TV reporter.
:24:14
This is the first time
I've heard his name.
:24:16
Perhaps this will refresh
your memory.
:24:19
Oh, that guy!
Yes, I know him.
:24:24
He introduced himself
downstairs in the bar.
:24:28
I hadn't quite caught his name.
He wanted an interview.
:24:32
I refused. After all,
I'm not some movie star.
:24:34
He was awfully pushy.
:24:36
And yet you brought him upstairs
to your room.
:24:38
I didn't want to make
a scene in the bar.
:24:41
I brought him here upstairs,
but he got quite aggressive.
:24:45
It got so bad that I had to ask him
to stop bothering me.
:24:49
He's not going to bother you
anymore.
:24:51
Shortly after visiting you,
Mr. Barter...
:24:55
died.
:24:58
But that's awful!
