:38:02
Three - there were no fingerprints
on the murder weapon but hers,
:38:06
and four - all the members of the Ballon
household staff have perfect alibis.
:38:12
Now then, Hercule,
what do these facts add up to?
:38:17
Maria Gambrelli killed
Georges the gardener.
:38:20
Idiot. Only a fresh-faced novice would
come up with a conclusion like that.
:38:24
- But the facts...
- Listen.
:38:26
Whoever killed Miguel killed Georges
to cover up the first crime.
:38:31
He is trying to blame this poor servant girl.
:38:35
Well, who do you suspect?
:38:38
I suspect everyone.
:38:42
- I suppose that is possible.
- Possible?
:38:44
What do you mean "possible"?
l deal in certainties.
:38:48
I have only to break her down, make
her admit she's protecting somebody
:38:52
and then force her to divulge his identity.
:38:57
There can be no more cat and mouse.
:39:00
No more subtle interrogation.
:39:04
For her own sake,
and for the sake ofjustice,
:39:08
I will resort to any means, short
of brute force, to drag it out of her.
:39:15
True, she will suffer.
:39:17
But in the end she will be free
and we will have our killer.
:39:23
- You released her again?
- Yes, sir.
