Did Napoleon tell you who was
supposed to pick up this letter?
:47:04
- I told him...
- A Monsieur Clarion.
:47:07
- And nothing more?
- Nothing. He burnt the letter
and said I could go.
:47:10
Ah.
:47:13
He burned the letter.
:47:23
- Yes.
- Strange that a chief magistrate...
:47:26
would burn evidence
of a treasonous conspiracy...
:47:30
and then
imprison the only man...
:47:35
who was aware of
Monsieur Clarion's connection...
:47:39
to that conspiracy.
:47:45
- He was protecting someone.
- Ah.
:47:48
- A dear friend perhaps?
- No. No.
:47:53
A politician like Villefort would have
rid himself of such friends.
:47:56
Clarion could be a relative.
:47:58
A close relative, possibly...
:48:04
No!
:48:09
Villefort's father was
a colonel in Napoleon's army.
:48:12
Villefort wasn't protecting Clarion.
:48:15
He was protecting himself.
:48:18
Danglars, who falsely said he saw
Napoleon give me that letter.
:48:22
Mondego,
who told Villefort I had it.
:48:25
And Villefort himself,
who sent me here.
:48:29
Bravo, Edmond, bravo.
