Affair in Trinidad Page #7

Yes, yes. And thank you.

You've done very well.

Very well indeed.

- Morning, Baker.

- Morning, Inspector.

- Has a Mr. Bronec come through yet?

- Bronec?

- No, but he has a reservation.

- Yes, I know. Thank you.

He ought to be along soon

if he intends to catch that plane.

There's Fabian's car now.

That's him.

Get after that car, quickly.

What are you staring at? Get an ambulance.

I'll get it, Dominique.

- Hello?

- Mrs. Emery?

Yes.

Mr. Bronec is dead.

What?

Yes. He was run over by a car at the airport

about half an hour ago.

It's obvious he was murdered.

Of course,

Mr. Fabian was shocked and horrified

to hear what had happened to his guest.

But this time, I think he's been a little hasty.

I have great hopes of tracing the car.

My men are on it now.

Oh, by the way, I found something

among Mr. Bronec's effects

which I think may be of use,

a set of keys.

I think you may be able

to get into that guesthouse after all.

Well, I'll try.

Good. Well, I'll get the keys to you at once.

Incidentally, is Mr. Emery there?

Well, no, he isn't.

He left the house early this morning,

and I haven't heard from him since.

Well, we can tell him

what the situation is now,

but I think you'd better let me do it.

Ask him to come in and see me, will you?

- Yes, I will.

- Thank you.

Bye.

You are mixed up in something bad.

What is it?

Nothing, nothing.

Since when you keep your life

a secret from me?

Oh, Dominique, please! Let me alone.

But you must know more about it.

You found his body on the boat.

Where was he going? Where had he been?

Somebody must know.

- You say you're his brother?

- I told you three times I'm his brother.

Now, if you know something,

why can't you tell me?

If you could find Jefreemy Bates,

maybe he...

- Jefreemy Bates? Who's he?

- Please, you will not say who told you.

No, I won't say anything

if you don't want me to.

Who's he? What does he know about it?

He's a fisherman from the island of Tobago.

After your brother was found,

he went to the police station.

He was there a long time.

Then later he'd say nothing.

But if you told him you were his brother...

How do you get to this island?

The dock master may know someone

who will take you there, sir.

Thank you.

Not him. It is the chauffeur.

Mr. Fabian's chauffeur.

Why should Mr. Emery go away

for three days and not tell you?

Oh, I suppose he had his reasons.

You do not want to go

to Mr. Fabian's house tonight, do you?

Then why do you go?

Let me send the car away.

It's too late, Dominique.

If he does come back tonight,

tell him that I...

Never mind.

- You look stunning this evening, my dear.

- Thank you.

What a lovely handkerchief.

Is this what you were shopping for

yesterday, Max?

What a quaint idea,

giving Mrs. Emery a gift on your birthday.

Shouldn't she have brought you something?

She brought herself.

I want to see Mrs. Emery.

I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think

Mr. Fabian is expecting you.

There's a lot of things

Mr. Fabian isn't expecting.

You can't come in here.

Excuse me.

Good evening, Mr. Emery.

To what do we owe this intrusion?

It belongs to a friend of yours.

Give it back to him.

Maybe there's somebody else

he wants to stab in the back.

What's the matter with you? Are you crazy?

And I have a few things to say to you,

but not here. Get Mrs. Emery's wrap.

This is my house, Mr. Emery.

If there's anything you want,

I suggest you address yourself to me.

I'll get to you later.

Well, are you coming or not?

I'm not ready to leave.

All right, then, you'll hear

what I have to say now, both of you.

I have a statement here

signed by a fisherman

by the name of Jefreemy Bates,

a statement that says my brother

was in this house on the day he died.

Have you got an alibi for that?

- Do you mind?

- Yes, I mind.

I'm tired of listening to stories about

how my brother committed suicide.

I'm using this to light a fire under you

and the police.

Oh, Max, he's been drinking.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

He's got all kinds of crazy ideas

about Neal's death.

Let me talk to him alone, please.

Let's not have a scene.

All right, but I'll be nearby.

Oh, Steve, you've got to get out of here.

I'll explain everything later,

but you must leave now.

Why? Give you and him a chance

to figure a way out of this?

Oh, no, no.

You knew Neal was here on the day he died,

didn't you?

But I can't talk about it now.

Don't you understand?

I understand you've been lying to me

ever since I got here.

All right.

If you want the truth, you can have it.

Sure, I knew he was here that day,

because I was here, too, with Max.

That's why he killed himself,

because he found out about Max and me.

Now, will you get out?

Well, what do you want,

another signed statement?

I'll give you one to take home and frame.

Thank you.

This party's turning into a wake.

Let's have some entertainment. Excuse me.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Trinidad Lady!

Fasten your safety belts!

I've been kissed before

Arms have held me fast

You can tell by my kiss

You weren't the first

And you won't be the last

With heart and soul I kiss them

And file the memory under M

Tomorrow, if I miss them

That may be the only time I think about them

I've been kissed before

Only fools tell when

I was born to be kissed

To kiss and be kissed

And I'll be kissed again

A heart is broken nightly

A smile that they misunderstood

Unless you treat it lightly

You'd better be going

While the going is good

Many loves have I

You were just one more

But someday I'll be kissed

And maybe I'll doubt

That I've been kissed before

That I've been loved before

On that day that I'm kissed

I'll even deny

That I've been kissed before

Oh, many loves have I

You were just one more

But someday I'll be kissed

And maybe I'll doubt

That I've been kissed before

That I've been loved before

On that day that I'm kissed

I'll even deny

That I've been kissed before

That was my birthday present to you, Max.

I hope you liked it.

I couldn't think of a more exciting way

to begin a new year.

Are you still here?

What are you waiting for?

Max, don't.

Let him go.

I'm sick of seeing him around.

You don't know what sick is.

Happy birthday, sucker.

What did you say to him before?

I told him he was making a fool of himself.

Well, I shouldn't think that would produce

such startling results.

I also told him I was going away with you.

He's so jealous, he can't see straight.

Max, I don't want to go back

to that house tonight.

Could I stay here?

Of course.

I'll tell the housekeeper

to prepare a room for you.

Here you are, darling.

Welcome to our city.

What has happened?

Why did she not come back with you?

Why should she? She belongs where she is.

Max, most important.

Will you excuse me, please, Chris?

It's incredible, Max, incredible.

Well, is it what we have been waiting for?

I must check these figures at once. Come.

Mr. Fabian, will you want me
