The Pink Panther Page #6

Synopsis: When the coach of the France soccer team is killed by a poisoned dart in the stadium in the end of a game, and his expensive and huge ring with the diamond Pink Panther disappears, the ambitious Chief Insp. Dreyfus assigns the worst police inspector Jacques Clouseau to the case. His intention is to give a diversion to the press, while he uses his best men to chase the killer and thief. He assigns Gendarme Gilbert Ponton to work with Clouseau and inform each step of the investigation. When Clouseau is nominated with honor to the highest prize in France, Dreyfus decides to humiliate Clouseau and take him out of the case. However Clouseau has already solved the mystery.

I take the mouse and I click,

but do not drag...

...the button that says "download."

Gentlemen, and lady,

good morning.

Meet Dr. Li How Pang.

He was, of course, in the VIP box

when Gluant was killed.

Coincidentally, Dr. Pang would

send Gluant large sums of money.

Presumably, Gluant was to invest

these sums on Pang's behalf.

But being a compulsive gambler,

Gluant took the money...

...and gambled it all away.

So Pang had the motive.

He had the opportunity.

Pang is in France

for the president's ball tonight.

We will arrest him there

for the murder of Yves Gluant.

Bravo, chief inspector.

I am pleased to announce that

I am personally taking over...

... the Pink Panther investigation

and that an arrest is imminent.

- Thank you.

- Chief inspector...

... the coroner has announced

that Bizu was killed...

... with a perfect shot to the

occipital lobe. Any comments?

The occipital lobe?

It's irrelevant.

The occipital lobe.

That makes me feel good.

Zoom.

Of course.

Ponton, I need you

over here immediately.

We are back on the case.

Nicole, I believe Bizu and Gluant

were killed by the same person.

And that the killer

will strike again tonight.

I want you to meet me

at the presidential palace.

And bring my vinyl bag marked

"presidential palace."

And hurry! Xania is in grave danger.

Ponton, we must get to the

presidential palace immediately!

- Put your seat belt on.

- I don't need a seat belt.

Let's see what this baby can do!

No. Clouseau should not

be on this list.

He is no longer allowed

at state affairs.

He has been disgraced

and humiliated.

But what about all the reporters

who will want to come in?

When the time is right,

let them pour in.

Clouseau.

I'm sorry, but your name

is not on the list.

Not on the list?

Dreyfus must have made sure

you cannot get in.

Ponton.

- Chief inspector.

- What?

- Inspector, here is your bag.

- Good work, Nicole.

Our men have reported a sighting

of Inspector Clouseau.

- What is that?

- Camouflage. Let's go.

Clouseau?

- Nicole.

- Yes?

I know what he's up to. He wants

to try to make the arrest himself.

- One last thing.

- Yes?

If you see Clouseau,

put him in cuffs for trespassing...

...and parade him through the party.

It's evening...

I want all men on alert.

Arrest him outside.

...and you look beautiful

without your glasses.

Thank you, inspector.

Dr. Pang has arrived.

We will take him after the first song.

Yes, yes. Very true.

Good work, Ponton. We're in.

Look!

It's the killer! After him!

- Change outfits.

- Stop! Turn around.

Who are you?

- What are you doing here?

- We are... We are two... We are...

- I'll tell you exactly who we are.

- Yes.

- We are...

- I've been looking for you everywhere.

Where the hell have you been?

- You know these two?

- Of course I know them.

They are Xania's backup dancers.

They go on in the third act...

...with the Komodo dragon

and the snow machine.

Why do you think they are

dressed like that, for fun?

- Prove it.

- We don't have to prove...

Can't you see these dancers

are exhausted?

Go and fetch them some water.

That was fantastic.

- You think so?

- You are...

...an amazing woman.

Inspector, the killer.

Now I am ready to catch a killer.

Stop!

Stop in the name of the law.

Get him!

- Bravo!

- Bravo!

Ponton, you follow him that way.

I'll go this way and cut him off.

Stop!

Turn around.

- You're under arre...

- You are under arrest!

Ponton! After him!

Now.

Go, go!

Well, Dr. Pang.

In the name of the statutes...

...and laws of the great nation

of France...

...I arrest you for the murder

of Yves Gluant.

Clouseau! Arrest him.

Which one is he?

That would be him.

In the name of the statutes and laws

of the great nation of France...

...I arrest you for the murder

of Yves Gluant.

Yuri, the trainer who trains.

And who are you?

I am Inspector Jacques Clouseau.

Gluant was nothing!

I drew up the plays.

He takes credit for brilliant

French defense which I gave him...

...and treats me like I'm dead. Fine.

Now he is dead from Chinese poison.

Inspector, what made you

think it was him?

But, Ponton, think back.

You were there.

WHY DO YOU BOTHER ME?

WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE?

I'M BUS Y.

THE COACH WAS KILLED

WITH CHINESE POISON.

YOU SHOULD LOOK:

FOR SOCCER TRAINERS.

THE Y ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A

KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE HERBS.

She was right, of course.

According to statute 87223, every

trainer of the national soccer team...

...must have a knowledge

of Chinese herbs.

This made it easy for him

to murder Gluant.

- And Bizu?

- Simple.

Bizu had often heard

Yuri's rants against Gluant.

So Bizu blackmailed Yuri

and got himself killed.

Oh, it's you.

A stunning shot to the head...

...burrowing deeply

into the occipital lobe.

But Yuri is a soccer trainer.

That shot was made

by an expert marksman.

Chief inspector, I'm sure

you're familiar...

...with Russian army statute 611.

Well, of course.

All members must be...

...expert marksmen...

- Expert marksmen.

...and understand the location

of the occipital...

- Occipital lobe, of course.

- Yes.

- Very true.

- Yes, Yuri.

Xania is still alive.

But you hated her. And that's

why you are trying to kill her.

You hated her because she

went with Bizu and then Gluant...

...and treated you

like you were nothing.

But you forgot a fundamental truth

about women.

A woman is like a...

Is like a...

...artichoke.

You have to do a bit of work

before you get to her heart.

What about the diamond?

What about the Pink Panther?

Yes, thank you, Inspector Clouseau

for carrying out my orders.

Hand over the diamond, Yuri.

What do I care about

your stinking diamond?

He does not have the diamond.

The murderer does not have

the diamond?

- No.

- Well, then, where is it...

...lnspector Clouseau?

It is there! In her purse.

Let me see.

Sorry, Clouseau, no diamond.

The purse, please.

Could you hold that, please?

After Gluant came to me, he said

he decided to stop cheating on me.

Then he asked me to marry him...

... and put the ring in my hands.

After he was killed, I thought...

...if I came forward with the ring,

everyone would think I did it.

If Gluant gave you the ring

before he died...

...then according to civil statute

You may keep the Pink Panther.

But, inspector,

how did you know she had it?

It was simple, Ponton.

I was looking at a photo of myself

at the checkpoint.

Something caught my eye:

Xania's purse passing through

the x-ray machine.

I enlarged the photo...

... and in it...

... the Pink Panther.

- The case is closed!

- Bravo, Clouseau.

Bravo!

Clouseau! Clouseau!

Clouseau! Clouseau!

I can't thank you enough

for giving me...

I can't thank you enough

for giving me...

...the opportunity to solve

the Pink Panther murder.

Without your decision to put me

on the case...

...who knows, someone else might've

won the Medal of Honor this year.

Yes, I know.

I owe it all to you, chief inspector.
