:44:01
Yes, yes.
:44:03
Normally, that is precisely
what you would have to do.
:44:08
But these are not normal times.
:44:11
Someone has just tried to kill me.
:44:13
That's normal.
:44:15
But this time, that someone thinks
he has succeeded.
:44:18
Except for you and me,
the whole world believes that I am dead.
:44:23
And in this case,
death has its advantages.
:44:30
No one will know it is me...
:44:32
as I glide through the underworld
like a shadow.
:44:39
- Good evening, Commissioner.
- Charles!
:44:47
Thank you.
:44:48
I'm sorry to be late,
but as you must have heard...
:44:52
some lunatic was hiding in my closet.
:44:54
Yes. Russo.
:44:57
Russo?
:45:01
You remember.
:45:03
Why wouldn't I remember?
It was only three years ago.
:45:06
Of course. Claude Russo,
alias Claudine Russo.
:45:10
Armed robbery dressed as a woman.
:45:13
But he got five years.
:45:15
He was released on parole
three months ago.
:45:18
So it could have been Russo.
:45:21
He is clever.
:45:23
Clever enough to fool Francois?
:45:26
I like Francois, but fooling him
no longer constitutes...
:45:31
an act of more than average cleverness,
shall we say?
:45:39
I always thought
he was rather a good policeman.
:45:42
When he was my assistant,
he was a very good policeman...
:45:45
with a bright future.
:45:47
But then he was assigned to Clouseau.
:45:49
Now, Charles.
:45:50
- All that's in the past.
- Yes, of course.
:45:53
Tomorrow morning...
:45:55
when they plant him six feet deep
and shovel in the dirt...
