:22:00
Oh, Maria Gambrelli, the maid. Yes, yes.
:22:02
Excellent. I'll be down there
right away. Thank you.
:22:05
Well, Kato, l am back on the case.
:22:09
I tell you, Maria Gambrelli is beautiful.
Innocent. Hah!
:22:15
That was a good work-out.
You're improving.
:22:18
Every day you're getting better.
:22:21
(mutters)
:22:27
Facts, Hercule, facts.
:22:30
Nothing matters but the facts.
:22:32
Without them, the science
of criminal investigation
:22:35
is nothing more than a guessing game.
:22:40
Listen to me, Hercule,
and you will learn something.
:22:43
The facts in this case are...
:22:46
the body of the chauffeur was found
in the bedroom of the second maid. Fact.
:22:51
Cause of death - four bullets
in the chest. Fact.
:22:55
The bullets were fired at close range
from a .25 calibre Beretta automatic. Fact.
:23:01
Maria Gambrelli was discovered
with the murder weapon in her hand. Fact.
:23:06
The murder weapon was registered in
the name of the deceased, Miguel Ostos,
:23:11
and was kept, mark you, in the glove
compartment of the Ballon Rolls-Royce.
:23:15
Fact.
:23:17
Members of the household staff
have testified that Miguel Ostos beat...
:23:23
Careful, you fool. You broke my pointing
stick. I've got nothing to point with now.
:23:29
..have testified that Miguel Ostos
beat Maria Gambrelli frequently.
:23:35
Finally comes the sworn statement
of M and Mme Ballon,
:23:39
as well as all the members of the staff,
each of them with perfect alibis.
:23:46
Now then, Hercule,
what is the inescapable conclusion?
:23:51
- Maria Gambrelli killed the chauffeur.
- What? You idiot.
:23:55
- Impossible. She's protecting someone.
- How do you know?
:23:58
- Instinct.
- But the facts...
