:47:01
They could not have done it
without you, could they?
:47:02
But he was only the number two.
:47:05
The subordinate of a boss whom,
at first, he was too terrified to identify.
:47:05
You.
:47:07
The procurer of this disguise for
the mysterious member of the Mafia,
:47:08
Only on the eve of his electrocution
did he give the name of the boss,
:47:12
who by then had disappeared
with the ransom money.
:47:13
who never existed
:47:14
any more than the owner
of this kimono existed
:47:15
I remember feeling ashamed
that he had an Italian name.
:47:17
as a real character and not as a red
herring to confuse and deceive me.
:47:18
Cassetti.
:47:20
Che mostro. He had
a child's blood on his hands.
:47:21
Although I think
that I was not deceived.
:47:24
He had worse than that.
:47:26
I have, how shall I put it,
:47:27
After the shock
of the body's discovery,
:47:29
an eye for the...
:47:30
Mrs. Armstrong gave premature birth
to a stillborn child,
:47:31
For the figure
of a receding woman.
:47:34
Countess, your cosmopolitan accent
:47:34
and herself died in the process.
:47:37
showed an inherited ability...
:47:37
Her husband, Colonel Armstrong,
:47:39
once a brave officer in
the Scots Guard, shot himself,
:47:40
...from your actress mother.
:47:43
and Mrs. Armstrong's personal maid,
:47:45
But God knows
from what implausible source
:47:45
who came wrongly
under suspicion of complicity,
:47:49
threw herself from her
bedroom window and she died,
:47:49
Miss Greta Ohlsson...
:47:51
so five deaths, five.
:47:53
...learned her English vocabulary,
too ludicrous to be credited.
:47:54
Then I thank heaven that Giuseppe,
who spilt so much blood in his lifetime,
:47:58
should have his own blood
spilt now.
:48:00
I was born backwards.
:48:02
That is why I work in Africa
as missionary,
:48:06
teaching little brown babies
more backwards than myself.
:48:10
You coined words like "bed gown",
:48:12
and yet you understand
words like "emolument".
:48:14
Excellent, Pierre. And could you
summon the passengers to me here?
:48:16
I truly believe you did look after
little brown babies at your mission
:48:18
One by one in this order except
for the Princess Dragomiroff,
:48:20
in Shimoga, which is in India,
by the way, you know.
:48:21
who is not only of royal blood, but also
much older than she tries not to look.
:48:22
It's not Africa.
:48:24
But I believe you
were covering up
:48:26
And, Pierre, since you are here
already, we can conveniently start
:48:26
for once, years earlier,
when you were in America,
:48:29
having looked after a little
white baby called Daisy...
:48:32
by questioning you.
:48:33
...whose death, though you
could do nothing to prevent it,
:48:34
Your full name is Pierre Paul Michel.
:48:35
so preyed on your mind that you
sought refuge in a vision of Jesus.
:48:38
- Correct, monsieur.
- Two male saints' names.
:48:39
And your future as a missionary,
:48:40
looking after little brown babies,
was sealed.
:48:42
You must be greatly blessed.
:48:44
I've had my share
of good fortune, monsieur.
:48:44
You. You were lucky
:48:47
So... And of bad.
I note the cancellation
:48:47
only to be bound and gagged,
:48:50
not crushed like the manservant.
:48:50
of your wife's photograph
nearly five years ago.
:48:52
- Mr. Beddoes.
- Sir.
:48:54
You served with the
British army in Scotland.
:48:54
- She is deceased.
- She died, monsieur.
:48:57
Colonel Armstrong
was in the Royal Scots.
:48:58
Of grief at the death
of our only daughter.
:48:58
Would you kindly give Dr. Constantine
your deepest butler's bow?
