Death on the Fourposter Page #3

---

You're a real artist.

You are so beautiful like that.

We'll watch you.

Who shouted?

In there!

She's dead.

This belongs to Aldo.

We even looked there, we can

do nothing, he disappeared.

Fly away!

No doubt, it was him.

I can't believe it.

Why him ?

- He probably tried to rape her.

- With that...

- What do we do ?

The only thing that makes

sense, call the police.

But we don't have a

phone, we need a car.

No problem, I'll be

back in an hour or so.

- That's fine by me.

- Everyone's in agreement?

- Yes, we have no other choice.

- Luciana, I'm taking your car.

The keys are

on the dashboard.

All right, I'm going.

There, you'll feel better.

- I can't wait for it to finish

- What are you afraid of ?

You are scared ?

I'm not afraid.

We're stuck.

- What do you mean?

- The garage key has disappeared.

- Are you sure ?

- Yes, I looked everywhere.

Aldo had to take it.

He made us look fools.

- Let's force the door.

- No it's impossible.

It's solid wood, we

need a locksmith.

So ?

We wait for the truck of the deliveryman.

We can not spend the night here

as well. We have to leave.

- We'll form a hunting party.

- At night ?

We are not armed and Aldo

is stronger than he looks.

We'll be more reassured

with the revolver.

Let's make sure the doors

and windows are closed...

- It's Aldo.

- No, don't shoot.

Isn't there a room where

we can lock him up?

Yes, come with me.

He can't escape here.

Relax.

Let's go.

The American was right.

We should have listened to him.

We just have to wait,

let's try to rest.

Edie, you're going to

spend the night like that?

Pity, it was so comfortable.

I'm going to change.

- What is it ?

- Turn around.

What did you do with the dress?

The monster!

- What monster?

- That one, over there.

- Who ?

That thing, the brute.

- I mean Aldo.

- Aldo? When?

- When I came with Serena.

- Well ?

I was looking for Riccardo

and Lou to show them.

Serena was in the room with

the mirrors, and I was alone.

Then, he appeared.

I tried to escape.

- We fought and we went outside.

- Outside ?

Yes, on the balcony, to be alone.

He even kissed me, then

we heard Franca scream.

He kisses so well,

pity he's a murderer.

Murderer, my eye.

If you left Serena and you were

with Aldo until Franca's cry...

Aldo can't be the killer.

If that's the case, then

one of us is the killer.

- What is going on ?

- There's something wrong.

The fuses must have blown.

Go and find out.

We must consider the situation calmly.

We can exclude Aldo and Edie.

Who of us has never

been alone...

since Serena went down, until

Franca found her dead?

I was with Luciana and Nicoletta,

we were always together.

That's five:
Aldo, Edie,

Lou, Nicoletta and Luciana.

It's a process of elimination.

- You, Paolo?

- Me?

To be honest, I have

always been alone.

Now that I think about

it, I met Riccardo.

- Right, Riccardo?

- Yes, it's true...

- When I was at the library.

- How long before Franca's scream?

Six minutes, Perhaps.

I spoke to Caterina...

And I met Paolo,

and played piano.

In theory, we could exclude you.

- In theory.

I was with Sergio then Luciana but

I was alone for a few minutes.

When I left you, I went

downstairs and met Katie.

So you don't have a

concrete alibi either.

Me less than all of you, I was

alone when I saw Serena.

We five are potential suspects.

We five?

Yes, if we exclude Caterina.

- Finally.

- I'm sorry, I have to change.

The fortunate have no worries

in this world.

Aldo escaped through the

window and broke the fuse box.

It doesn't matter anymore.

He's not the killer.

No, Aldo is even more

dangerous. He's afraid.

I wonder what the motive was?

You don't kill someone

without a specific reason.

Maybe the killer had a reason to

kill Serena, what do we know?

We cannot exclude sex.

Did you notice that

Serena's ring disappeared?

Are you sure ?

- I checked, they both disappeared.

Both.

If so, the killer may

still have them.

If there are no objections,

I will search everyone.

I don't think we have a choice.

- Do you start with me?

- What's in your pocket, Sergio?

Nothing.

Where did it come from?

You don't think that...

It was you, Paolo, I saw you.

Let go of me.

That's right, I stole it,

but I'm not a murderer.

I didn't kill him, I swear

I'm not a murderer!

- Explain yourself.

- I took it after, not before.

- Serena was already dead.

- You make me sick.

Don't say that, you

know I have debts.

I couldn't resist.

When I took it, the other

had already disappeared.

- Are you sure ?

- Search if you don't believe me.

The other ring had no value,

it was a family jewel.

Why take it?

Why ?

What I saw was horrible.

Close this.

Sorry, I did not do it on purpose.

I want to leave

I beg you, I want to leave!

Do you want help ?

Relax for five minutes,

it'll do us good.

Come on, Paolo, don't be like that.

No, thanks, I'll take the air.

I'm coming with you.

Come on, Paolo, smile.

Come on, that's better.

Excuse me, but I

want to be alone.

It's nothing.

Come on, sit down.

Don't be like that.

I'ill soothe your forehead.

It will pass, you'll see.

It'll do you some good.

I'll come again.

Don't be long.

Who shouted?

What happened?

Tell me.

Franca left me alone, and

didn't come back...

and Riccardo appeared

from behind the wall.

The wall?

The wall, you say.

- Riccardo?

- Yes.

Then he disappeared.

- There was a shadow behind me.

- Who was it ?

I don't know.

The killer.

Franca is in the library.

She's dead.

I saw her dead.

Let's go.

Come.

- Where is Franca?

- There, on the sofa.

Dead.

Come with us.

She was here.

I saw her.

- I'm sure.

- You are mistaken.

I swear.

- I saw it.

- Listen, Riccardo...

either you're mad,

or you're a killer.

A killer?

Me?

But why?

You were the only person here...

and we were together

downstairs, understand?

In that case, if it was

just a hallucination...

where is Franca?

Here is the problem.

She can't have disappeared.

We must find her.

Let's go.

I can't believe.

He did it.

We must search everywhere.

Search the castle.

Come on, we'll separate.

I start with the kitchen.

Are you coming with us, Paolo?

I'll start with the attic.

I'm going mad.

I know you're going through

a difficult time...

but remember that I'm the

only one who can help you.

Give me peace.

I want to be alone.

Come on, I'll show you the place.

Come.

You see ? This is where

Riccardo appeared.

- I wonder how it opens.

- There must be a button.

Perhaps this one.

You see, I was right!

I'm sure Franca is here.

- Come.

- You have to call the others.

There are steps.

Come on, hurry up.

I'm coming.

And if it closes?

You are here.

What is it?

You know all the secrets

of this damn castle.

It was always pleasant

before your arrival.

I was saying...

that there is a passage here,

and Nicoletta is trapped...

- Buried alive!

- be quiet, it's not a secret...

- and your friend is not in danger.
