Clouseau:
Facts, Hercule, facts. Behind them lays the whole fabric of deductive truth. Now, Hercule, let us examine these facts: One... [holding up one finger] Clouseau:
She was found standing beside the dead corpse of the murder victim, with the murder weapon in her hands; Two... [holding up three fingers] Clouseau:
The murder weapon was fresh with blood, which matched a wound found on the corpse of the deceased murder victim; Three... [holding up four fingers] Clouseau:
There were no fingerprints on the murder weapon other then hers; and Four... [holding up all five fingers] Clouseau:
All the members of the Ballon household staff have perfect alibis. Now then, Hercule what do these facts add up to? Hercule LaJoy:
Maria Gambrelli killed Georges the gardener. Clouseau:
You are an idiot, only a fresh faced novice would come up with a conclusion like that. Hercule LaJoy:
But the facts... Clouseau:
Listen, who even killed Miguel, killed Georges the gardener and he did it to cover up the first crime. Now, what he is trying to do is lay the blame at the foot of this, this poor servant girl. Hercule LaJoy:
Well, who do you suspect? Clouseau:
I suspect everyone. Hercule LaJoy:
Well... I suppose that is possible. Clouseau:
Possible? What do you mean Possible? I deal in certainties

00:00:03.559 --> 00:00:05.891
The bullets were fired at close range
00:00:05.994 --> 00:00:09.725
from a.25 caliber
Beretta automatic. Fact!
00:00:09.831 --> 00:00:11.089
Maria Gambrelli was discovered
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.128
with the murder weapon
in her hand. Fact!
00:00:15.237 --> 00:00:16.966
The murder weapon was registered
00:00:17.999 --> 00:00:19.666
in the name of the deceased,
Miguel Ostos,
00:00:19.775 --> 00:00:22.744
and was kept
in the glove compartment
00:00:22.844 --> 00:00:26.041
of the Ballon Rolls-Royce. Fact!
00:00:26.148 --> 00:00:29.117
Members of the household staff
have testified
00:00:29.218 --> 00:00:31.243
that Miguel Ostos beat...
00:00:32.788 --> 00:00:35.382
Careful, you fool.
You've broken my pointing stick.
00:00:35.049 --> 00:00:37.583
I've got nothing to point with now.
00:00:38.066 --> 00:00:44.462
...have testified that Miguel Ostos
beat Maria Gambrelli frequently.
00:00:44.566 --> 00:00:48.798
Finally comes the sworn statement
of Monsieur and Madame Ballon,
00:00:48.904 --> 00:00:51.702
as well as all the members
of the staff,
00:00:51.807 --> 00:00:54.435
each of them with perfect alibis.
00:00:56.144 --> 00:01:00.444
Hercule, what is
the inescapable conclusion?
00:01:01.055 --> 00:01:03.916
Maria Gambrelli killed the chauffeur.
00:01:04.005 --> 00:01:07.887
What? You idiot! Impossible!
She's protecting someone.
00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:09.999
- How do you know that?
- Instinct!
00:01:10.999 --> 00:01:11.491
But the facts.
00:01:11.593 --> 00:01:14.357
You are forgetting
the most important fact... motive.
00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:16.001
- He beat her.
- He was Spanish.
00:01:17.001 --> 00:01:19.633
- He tore her dress off.
- Don't be ridiculous.
00:01:19.735 --> 00:01:22.295
Would you kill somebody
who tore your dress off?
00:01:23.872 --> 00:01:26.864
- I suppose not.
- Of course not.
00:01:26.999 --> 00:01:31.639
No. There is no doubt
in my mind whatsoever, Hercule.
00:01:31.747 --> 00:01:35.547
Maria Gambrelli is most definitely
protecting somebody.
00:01:35.651 --> 00:01:38.142
Find that somebody,
and you have found the murderer.
00:01:38.253 --> 00:01:42.001
I shall find the murderer
before the day is out.
00:01:42.758 --> 00:01:47.491
Maria Gambrelli will tell me
who he is. Oh, yes.
00:01:49.999 --> 00:01:52.002
- What was that you said?
- Nothing.
00:01:52.301 --> 00:01:56.328
I see. All right.
You can go, Hercule.
00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:25.559
I don't understand.
00:02:25.667 --> 00:02:29.999
Why did you reassign Clouseau
to the Gambrelli case?
00:02:30.572 --> 00:02:34.999
That is a good question,
and it deserves an answer.
00:02:34.309 --> 00:02:39.993
What I'm about to tell you must
remain in the strictest confidence.
00:02:39.001 --> 00:02:44.346
This morning at 6:00 I received
a phone call from a superior.
00:02:44.453 --> 00:02:48.685
I was informed that certain
extremely influential parties
00:02:48.999 --> 00:02:52.001
were interested in having Clouseau
back on the case.
00:02:52.001 --> 00:02:54.999
I had no choice but to comply.
00:02:54.001 --> 00:02:56.001
Amazing.
00:02:56.001 --> 00:03:01.601
If I were to divulge the identity
of the caller, you'd realize how amazing.
00:03:01.703 --> 00:03:03.999
But why?
00:03:03.999 --> 00:03:06.001
That's another good question.
And for that, I have no answer.
