:49:03
You came to London
looking for your husband, right?
:49:06
Yes.
:49:08
He's a mining engineer.
:49:10
We were married
five years ago in the Congo.
:49:13
Where your husband was
working in a copper mine.
:49:16
How did you know?
:49:17
Your wedding ring--
it's made of copper.
:49:22
Last year, he invented
a new kind of air pump...
:49:26
and was hired by an English
company--Jonah, Limited.
:49:30
Here we are.
:49:33
Jonah, Limited. Go on.
:49:37
We've been writing
to each other regularly...
:49:39
then suddenly...
:49:41
three weeks ago,
his letters stopped.
:49:44
l kept on writing,
but no answer.
:49:47
So, finally l decided
to go to that address.
:49:53
''32 Ashdown Street.''
:49:56
Yes. lt's just
an empty store...
:50:00
nobody there.
:50:02
So, l tried to find
Jonah, Limited.
:50:06
No such company exists.
:50:09
How decidedly odd.
:50:11
Madame Valladon, can
you think of any reason...
:50:13
why your husband
should've lied to you...
:50:15
about these things?
:50:17
Emile? Never.
:50:19
He loves me, and l love him.
:50:22
l gathered that much.
:50:26
l went to the police.
:50:28
They said they would...
:50:29
send out a missing
persons report...
:50:31
but they didn't
sound too encouraging.
:50:34
Then l went to
the Belgian embassy.
:50:36
They suggested
l should consult you.
:50:39
You could've done worse.
:50:41
l was on my way here.
:50:43
Then suddenly there were
footsteps behind me...
:50:47
and a hand over my mouth...
:50:49
and a smell of chloroform,
and the next thing l knew...
:50:53
l was in the water.
:50:55
And then a man was
wrapping me in a blanket.
:50:58
Madame Valladon...
:50:59
somebody tried to
kill you last night.
