:47:00
You've had it all the time.
:47:01
You stole the jewel yourself
:47:03
before the International Court
made its decision.
:47:05
I'd sacrifice it to save Charles,
but it's not so simple.
:47:09
Couldn't you say you found it
on the grounds or something?
:47:12
They'd just claim he dropped it
making his escape.
:47:15
No, to save Charles, we must prove
that someone else stole it.
:47:19
But we'd never
be able to do that.
:47:22
I have an idea.
:47:26
The trial is in its third day.
:47:29
Seldom in the history
of Italian jurisprudence
:47:31
has a trial created
such intense excitement.
:47:33
Thousands of people...
:47:35
and it is interesting to note,
most of them women...
:47:37
have gathered daily
hoping to catch a glimpse
:47:39
of Sir Charles Litton,
:47:40
the man accused of being
the notorious Phantom.
:47:43
The court adjourned yesterday
as the defense requested time
:47:46
to investigate certain
new, important evidence.
:47:48
And it is rumored that when
the court convenes today,
:47:51
the defense will call
a surprise witness.
:47:54
The defense has only
one witness, Mr. President.
:47:56
Would you call Inspector
Jacques Clouseau to the stand?
:48:01
Me, a defense witness?
:48:03
Inspector Clouseau?
:48:05
Nothing to worry about.
You'll make fools out of them.
:48:18
Inspector Clouseau,
you have testified under oath
:48:21
to certain pertinent facts
concerning this case.
:48:25
Your testimony
and your testimony alone
:48:27
has been the major factor
in casting suspicion on the defendant.
:48:30
Aside from the Phantom himself,
:48:32
you are the foremost authority
on the Phantom.
:48:37
I have made
the Phantom my life's work.
:48:40
You've testified the Phantom
has been a frequent guest
:48:43
at the numerous parties
given by Miss Angela Dunning.
:48:45
That is correct, yes.
:48:47
You've testified it was either during
or sometime soon afterwards
:48:51
that certain of Miss Dunning's guests
were robbed of their jewels.
:48:54
Yes.
:48:56
- How many times did this happen?
- Sixteen.
