00:
30:09,950 -- 00:30:11,350

These are mere assumptions.

503

00:
30:12,550 -- 00:30:15,550

Suppose she visited

to lord Edgwere

504

00:
30:15,550 -- 00:30:18,750

without knowing in no time

the reason for your visit.

505

00:
30:19,450 -- 00:30:22,250

In that case, this

morning would be the news

506

00:
30:22,250 -- 00:30:24,250

the death of lord Edgwere

and he would talk with...

507

00:
30:25,050 -- 00:30:28,050

God mi.. I've been a fool.

508

00:
30:28,750 -- 00:30:30,050

I have been a stupid!

509

00:
30:32,960 -- 00:30:34,060

What happens now?

510

00:
30:34,660 -- 00:30:36,360

We locate

As soon as possible.

511

00:
30:37,660 -- 00:30:40,860

-Do not have your number.

-Where work must have the number.

512

00:
30:40,860 -- 00:30:42,860

Oh yes, the club. The club is called...

513

00:
30:42,860 -- 00:30:43,960

waiting, waiting.

514

00:
30:45,960 -- 00:30:47,060

Looking for a taxi.

-If.

515

00:
30:47,560 -- 00:30:48,760

The club is called...

516

00:
30:48,760 -- 00:30:49,960

Fast.

Taxi.

517

00:
08:19,260 -- 00:30:58,160

Conseguiste the number?

-Your number is busy.

518

00:
31:00,060 -- 00:31:01,160

Fast, enters.

519

00:
31:01,270 -- 00:31:03,470

To Queen Mary Gardens

as fast as possible.

520

00:
31:44,270 -- 00:31:45,370

Are the police?

521

00:
31:45,370 -- 00:31:47,670

Friends of the srta. Adams.

Can we talk to her?

522

00:
31:49,270 -- 00:31:50,670

God mi, she is dead.

523

00:
31:52,670 -- 00:31:53,670

Too late.

524

00:
32:09,470 -- 00:32:10,670

It seems a sleeping girl.

525

00:
32:10,870 -- 00:32:12,570

-Veronal.

-Who is that?

526

00:
32:12,570 -- 00:32:13,570

It is a strong sedative.

527

00:
32:14,770 -- 00:32:16,670

Death by overdose.

I wouldn't be surprised.

528

00:
32:18,470 -- 00:32:20,570

My only consolation in this

529

00:
32:20,580 -- 00:32:21,780

is that we would not have

Unable to save her,

530

00:
32:21,780 -- 00:32:25,580

was dead when we knew

the assassination of lord Edgwere

531

00:
32:26,880 -- 00:32:28,280

Do you think that this also?

was it murder?

532

00:
32:29,180 -- 00:32:30,280

In my experience...

533

00:
32:30,280 -- 00:32:34,780

the first murder is achieved

with great remorse of conscience.

534

00:
32:35,480 -- 00:32:38,680

Then to persist the danger

the second is more easy,

535

00:
32:39,380 -- 00:32:40,780

the third even more easy.

536

00:
32:42,380 -- 00:32:45,880

And like many things in life

murder becomes habit

537

00:
32:46,580 -- 00:32:48,980

Then perhaps the two

they are related.

538

00:
32:49,680 -- 00:32:53,880

If he gave his last performance

as Jane Wilkinson.

539

00:
32:58,390 -- 00:33:01,090

Miss Bennett was his Secretary.

540

00:
33:01,190 -- 00:33:05,490

Miss Adams was taking?

drugs to sleep, for example?

541

00:
33:06,190 -- 00:33:10,490

-Did not take any drugs for nothing.

-Does she went last night?

542

00:
33:11,090 -- 00:33:14,290

If...I was here when return

to that of the twelve.

543

00:
33:15,090 -- 00:33:16,790

Seemed exhausted and are

It went straight to bed.

544

00:
33:17,590 -- 00:33:21,090

Today when arrives, she

was still there, cold and...

545

00:
33:23,890 -- 00:33:27,490

Tell me about your day.

I invite people?

546

00:
33:28,290 -- 00:33:29,790

What left the apartment yesterday?

547

00:
33:31,390 -- 00:33:35,190

Sacco with Jenny Driver, the

Designer. It was his best friend.

548

00:
33:36,790 -- 00:33:38,390

Went back to that of the seven

549

00:
33:39,500 -- 00:33:42,900

excited as...

A naughty girl.

550

00:
33:44,000 -- 00:33:45,200

And who was going to see?

551

00:
33:45,900 -- 00:33:46,900

No idea.

552

00:
01:22,100 -- 00:33:50,100

How it was dressed?

553

00:
33:50,700 -- 00:33:51,800

Wearing a black dress

554

00:
33:53,900 -- 00:33:55,200

Wearing jewelry?

555

00:
08:22,100 -- 00:33:57,600

Only the pearls that

always used.

556

00:
33:58,400 -- 00:33:59,700

And took his makeup,

557

00:
34:00,600 -- 00:34:02,300

strange thing because

It was free last night.

558

00:
34:08,300 -- 00:34:12,600

Can you identify this?

mother-of-Pearl box?

559

00:
34:13,510 -- 00:34:14,610

No, Sir

Huh?

560

00:
34:19,010 -- 00:34:20,010

Veronal..

561

00:
34:23,510 -- 00:34:24,610

Non-Carlotta.

562

00:
34:25,710 -- 00:34:28,310

She cannot use... not used glasses.

563

00:
34:33,110 -- 00:34:37,410

And it was much later?

What that she arrived last night?

564

00:
34:37,710 -- 00:34:38,910

No, just a moment.

565

00:
34:39,710 -- 00:34:42,710

Gave me a letter to put

in the mail.

566

00:
34:43,210 -- 00:34:44,310

And then I leave.

567

00:
34:44,510 -- 00:34:47,010

And put it in the mail last night?

-Yes, Mr.

568

00:
34:48,210 -- 00:34:50,110

Was who it aimed at?

Do remember you?

569

00:
03:23,420 -- 00:34:55,220

Yes, his sister in the USA.

Often written.

570

00:
35:13,120 -- 00:35:14,320

Please be brief.

571

00:
35:14,620 -- 00:35:16,520

The srta. Driver prepares

her spring collection

572

00:
35:17,320 -- 00:35:19,520

and there is so much to do

It is horrifying.

573

00:
35:20,820 -- 00:35:22,120

Jenny are Knights.

574

00:
35:22,820 -- 00:35:27,020

No, no, no. All bad.

Get this piece please.

575

00:
35:28,120 -- 00:35:31,920

Oh Yes... my assistant told me that

they wanted to discuss Carlotta.

576

00:
35:32,320 -- 00:35:35,720

I regret to inform you that

the srta. Adams this dead.

577

00:
35:38,020 -- 00:35:39,020

What?

578

00:
35:40,920 -- 00:35:44,920

Is that... cannot be.

Almorc with her yesterday.

579

00:
35:45,330 -- 00:35:47,330

That I wanted to talk to you.

580

00:
35:49,630 -- 00:35:50,630

If.

581

00:
35:52,430 -- 00:35:53,530

Only one more.

582

00:
35:56,730 -- 00:35:59,530

-That happened?

-Died in her sleep.

583

00:
36:03,630 -- 00:36:04,930

I can't believe it.

584

00:
36:05,930 -- 00:36:08,930

Only yesterday I was so excited for...

585

00:
36:09,530 -- 00:36:10,530

Why..?

586

00:
36:12,130 -- 00:36:14,230

Not be a trick... I think.

587

00:
36:15,130 -- 00:36:16,130

A trick?

588

00:
36:16,930 -- 00:36:20,530

She did not say, but gave me the impression

that involved a lot of money.

589

00:
36:30,440 -- 00:36:34,440

This was worth.

She is very smart.

590

00:
36:34,540 -- 00:36:40,140

-Signing account? That's nice.

-What do we do now?

591

00:
36:40,740 -- 00:36:44,340

Decide who benefits

with the death of lord Edgwere.

592

00:
36:44,340 -- 00:36:47,240

The heirs, the daughter

nephew...

593

00:
36:47,740 -- 00:36:49,540

Lady Edgwere?

-Good.

594

00:
36:49,840 -- 00:36:50,840

And the Duke of...

595

00:
36:51,240 -- 00:36:52,240

Merton.

596

00:
37:03,840 -- 00:37:05,040

Not bad.

597

00:
37:10,040 -- 00:37:11,040

What?

598

00:
23:25,940 -- 00:37:12,940

To work.

599

00:
37:19,450 -- 00:37:23,350

It is like a miracle

It happened just ideal.

600

00:
37:25,350 -- 00:37:26,650

The death of George...

601

00:
37:26,650 -- 00:37:28,250

You don't have a divorce

complicated.
