Inspector Villon went to
Mr. Marlo's residence...
1:01:05
...and found this by the couch...
1:01:07
...and he found the second earring
in a dresser drawer.
1:01:12
Please, madam.
1:01:15
...please repeat exactly
what you told me for his honor.
1:01:22
Yes, I don't quite know
why but in my sort of panic...
1:01:25
...I told the Inspector
I had never been to Mr. Marlo's.
1:01:28
I did go there with my husband one time.
1:01:31
He wasn't home, I waited a few moments...
1:01:34
I think that's when
I must have lost the earring.
1:01:38
So, I add, if the police intend to use
this earring as proof of complicity...
1:01:43
...I warn you that
I am quite capable of proving...
1:01:47
...the police attempted a set up...
1:01:51
..."planting" the earring
due to insufficient evidence!
1:01:55
I won't do it, of course, but...
1:01:58
...but I could if forced.
1:02:01
No threats, counselor.
1:02:03
I'm not threatening, I'm simply stating...
1:02:06
When Inspector Villon,
accompied by Inspector Lamy of Paris...
1:02:10
...and you, the judge of their undertaking...
1:02:14
...interrogated my client,
the hypothesis was a heart attack. Why?
1:02:20
Mrs. Wormser mentioned a heart attack
less than a year earlier!
1:02:23
Yes.
So why did the police change their minds?
1:02:26
Because they learned
Mr. Wormser never had a heart attack
1:02:33
The truth is he was impotent.
1:02:37
Enough to convince them
Joseph Marlo was Mrs. Wormser's lover...
1:02:42
...add to that,
she is 15 yrs younger than her husband.
1:02:44
Preconceptions are so convenient.
Except there is one little catch...
1:02:50
The little catch is Mrs. Wormser
didn't know her husband was impotent.
1:02:55
You can check the police report;
it's clearly between the lines.
