back from the mayor's office our food friend on 20 who surprised us with a wedding breakfast we had already consumed several bottles and I was feeling very gay to the bride and the lucky groom and what one our best friend remember the stories about the best friend I'm not afraid and speaking of stories I have a surprise for you I sort went to Macedonia good this calls for another drink you

and the copy this certainly goes for one last dream no actually you had enough and I really mean it no one turns my darling how many times does a man get married oh you were a fool to bring that up today to you a great artist and their wise counselor ah I feel wonderful in fact I'm not the whole world even Tata yes given him What's Wrong daddy you know I think if Papa could see how happy we are in he might relent I'm afraid he never will wait a minute Papa has influence and he is rich no oh he will make his own way still with Papa influence and Papa's money and on ways artistic soul it's nonsense to think of ever going back there must be the wine that gave me the idea you're right darling leave well enough alone I think you both are very foolish and you re you it to your wife to make at least one more attempt to bring about a reconciliation no out one No why should you be forced to live in this sordid environment what his father can provide a home of ease and luxury why should she be made to skimp and struggle while you are still unable to provide for her trade and so at 1-over minions protest talked me to going back to see my father what happened then there was no room for love in his heart he called me every kind of name he even threatened to disown me and you to the marriage world it was no idle threat while I was there he found his attorney and told him to cut me out of his where is that when you killed it No no I I'm sure they'd intend it was after that he started to calm in your names and made horribly insinuations that I couldn't stand I went blind with rage he struck at me my head was burning everything went dark before my eyes next thing I knew I I was in a bar pouring down one drink after another did you go back to your wife after that my men picked him up about 4:00 in the morning wandering the streets aimlessly how long have you known him we're in the concentration camp together for almost three years mm-hmm I did not like the time you became friends like close friends but what constantly amazed me was his peculiar reaction to everything about him did you keep in touch with him when the war was over no no I more or less lost track of him all I know is that he was returned to France and spent six months in a psychoneurotic institution his record shows that he was religious cured I suppose those records still available certainly Morell in your mind is there really no question of the boy's guilt no all he went to his father in high spirits the quarren the boy found himself in the depths of despair and in his rage killed him well you just to find the actions of a typical manic-depressive then you agree with you the man is not saying oh wait not so fast oh there are other things to be considered how is his father killed he was stepped to death with this oh so that's the reason he washed me last night if that knife thrower looked like a murderer that's right but what I haven't told you yet is that Ari's wife is the knife throwers daughter well I could very easily be persuaded to live here myself tell the butler to coming to the library already in a room like this murder seems a little out of place murder my fan is out of place anyway no Chardin lewis psychology what do you mean why the size of the desk anyone having a stand this far our way to talk to him would be bound to feel ill of these y'all wish to see me Monsieur yes come in Tara this gentleman would like to ask you a few questions very well Monsieur what is it you wish to know how did you happen to overhear the argument between father and son which supposedly led up to the murder it was my night off and as it is my custom Ettrick doors and windows before leaving its then I heard miss Jahnavi quarrel was his father Oh in an in spite of that you left the house oh I didn't think much of it at a time I had become accustomed to their disagreeable arguments did you hear what this one was about in particular oh yes indeed they spoke about miss Gary's wife the master system unkind things about her that's when Ari threatened him you're sure you're very threat or certain no but as I did no more than rash words mm-hmm what did you spend the evening we checked on that he stayed at his sister's home in the country until 12:30 and when I returned at 1:00 o'clock I found a master lying on the floor with a knife in his back that door was partly open the chair was knocked over and that picture was crooked tell me did you recognize the murder weapon oui Monsieur it was a letter opener that mr.

that the penalty I have to pay for being a lawyer all I have left in life are briefs analysis oh well for the elsens I can suggest a very simple prescription relax and forget your briefs setup today thank you are you sent for me today when I got there I found him a terrible state of mind yeah one of his slow spells again I suppose exactly his wife was with him in the visitors room he sent for her to doctor Otway you will find this difficult to believe or he wants his wife to divorce him he said he doesn't want her to carry the stigma as the wife of a murderer what doesn't he realize that if she divorces him she look forward any possible claim to his father's estate I pointed that out to him but he seems to be so convinced that he's going to be a judge same at the time of the murder and convicted that he says the entire estate will go to some relatives anyway and the cousin in Canada whom he didn't see for 20 years suddenly will find himself a rich man Hey I don't believe already killed his father odd way I could kiss you for dead have no fear I'm not the emotional type but I agree with you there are several others who had as good a motive or even better such as Maurice the girl's father Giroux performance treat her they would indeed benefit if they were in collusion with me no that's really what you wanted to tell me what yes there Audrey you must be a mind reader no I'll let you in on a little secret I just called on both Maurice and Giroux you came to the same idea well did you find out anything no no nothing definite except that they both try to impress on me the fact that Ali is insane I wonder how a minion really fits into this picture [Music] I see you like to pace for you have the best table in the house thanks I didn't come to see the show I want to talk to one of your performers mean yours your dad me and you then where we miss I was DeLeon the defend of les become well wishes to converse with it did you wait right here [Music] for the actual second door to the left now see oh damn Sharda doctor Hardaway please come in I am sorry I wasn't home when you called today well I'm rather glad you're worth it it's not often my profession takes me backstage hi I love this atmosphere of make-believe everything that goes with it I hate it I hated it from the very first moment I stepped into this place this place you mean this is your first experience as a performer yes my father had a partner until six months ago when he was working in the Cafe de Monaco when that engagement ended and he could find nothing better than a jobbing in this rathole his partner left him I had to take your place to keep his boss from starving so Mary seemed the only way out oh is that when you became engaged to Antoine Giroux yes but I soon realized we're not suited to each other not suited was it because you met on Ray's yard I seem to better catch how did not marry only for his money I loved him deeply and I still do is that the only reason you didn't agree to the divorce he offered you today did all he tell you about that too please answer my question could there be any other reason oh yes yes money you know very well if Ari is a judge insane he can't be held responsible for the crime he committed when the state is settled you as the nearest of kin wouldn't benefit materially doctor Hardaway you and inspector ma have pretty well conclude in this case haven't you both of you as well as Monsieur delay seem definitely Nicole then always a lunatic well let me tell you this always as sane as you are and I will testify to that effect do you realize what I would mean to him yes if you were guilty but you're no ease and or you will not have talked to my father the way you did today you're right I hope you'll forgive some of the harsh things I said to you but I had to find out exactly where you stood will you help me prove that all Ray is saying even though it involves someone else very dear to you I wouldn't hesitate for a moment even if it were my own father but he's not the one believe me what makes you so sure about that I met him here not more than 20 minutes after all we had left to see his father did your father know about the marriage then no no and I had to do a little convincing to make him agree to it well the way he spoke to me today about her husband I don't think you succeeded anything well I changed his mind again seems always trouble started but that night he came home with me to welcome him as his son-in-law you know the rest but if your father a perfect alibi but what about your rule 20 who Oh even hurt a fly that isn't my impression of the man I don't think he stopped short of anything to get what he wants and I know he still wants you oh they calling for me to go on will you excuse me and doctor all the way don't let the inspector give up in their search for the real murderer and please stand by are we and me you can trust me I will goodbye [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I admit it was a good idea to let him mistake you for a potential customer but I still say that you should not have taken the risk of coming here tonight well I couldn't stop to worry about that after my talk with all reason wife I figured you are most likely suspect upper that very useless one now why couldn't that thief have picked another night to do his burglarize well yes I agree

Adair refused to accept it but why he claimed the grace period for repayment expired another property belonged to him but all this happened many years ago why do you think it is of any value now Maurice waited long for his opportunity finally it came a golden opportunity to avenge himself with the help of his daughter by killing them and letting Ori take the blame I'm certainly girl had nothing to do with it at all dr. Ollie you were taken in by a pretty face but let us say for the moment that minion is innocent that still leaves us Maurice of course he had the motive and more than that he knows only too well how to handle a knife I'm going to arrest him on suspicion of murder maybe you're right oh the lady is out we came to see her father you do that do not wish to see anyone he's asleep if you do not stop I shall call the police oh my goodness you I could not know but now that you do know could you unlock the door for us oh it must be a lair apparently develop could sleep through anything Laval get up he's dead looks like he died me sleep where does that leave us now welp see who and now mullets and he where our only suspect center a good day you know doctor all the way don't you yes hello sit down please I received this in the mail today it is postmarked the day before your father's dead you recognize the end writing yes it's my father's pair we did know it's not only confesses to the crime but also gave the motive he killed your dad we've been an old score and purposely led to blame for now he goes on to say that when you realize however but he's actually meant to his daughter he decided to tell the truth and then take his own life I don't believe a word did you believe this confession to be the truth yes I do in that case my names are there it is my duty to arrest you as an accomplice after the fact you lied when you say your father was with you at the time of the murder well before you commit her I'd like to have a word with you alone very well you may wait outside madam shall wait here until I send for her again you're a fine policeman morale but you're not a very good judge of human nature the girl originally told me the truth she lied to you just now and you still believed announcin said mices whether I'd attempted murder yes I'm sure of it you where do you get the coroner's report you are in whose report how can it possibly prove anything like that because I talked to the autopsy surgeon he farmer Reese had been suffering from an incurable disease why even it the best he only had a few months more to live or be that as it may I have a signed document in which Moyes admits his guilt and that's good enough for me to absolve Olli I'm not suggesting you take him into custody again he's not gonna run away all I want is a chance to prove my point I claim that we've been barking up the wrong tree but concentrating on the wrong motive would you mind being a little more explicit well I can't just yet but if you play along with me for anything to make you happy all right that poster guard at the Jordan home just to make certain nothing will be disturbed Oh me you hardly touched your food I'm not hungry oh please try what is it darling let me alone all the time I was in there I kept thinking of this place and you it didn't seem possible that anything could ever come between us nothing has it's just that you've been through a great deal you under strain you're nervous don't say that I'm not nervous I know exactly what I'm doing well we hadn't mean anything by it I guess I'm a little nervous nothing has changed between us I'm sure of it arie there is something what is it it's nothing no please are we all right then when I found out today it was your father who have to my father you don't believe that okay I don't know me alone who is it it's me dr.

Dooley yes sign here please yes [Music] I wouldn't do that if I were you delay that's the picture you have it is only a copy [Music] [Music] get up [Music] you really deserve a lot of credit the auction was a very neat trick it's gotten completely unawares don't forget that Brahma O'Reilly actually made it the great success it was Oh No that magic act of yours surpassed theirs by far where was a trademark actually on the canvas when I substituted the copy for the original I figured that'd give you something to worry about it no I I put it there after O'Reilly examined the picture and short meat was a phony I like a full plate right into your hands yeah you had no choice you were afraid unless you took that copy out of circulation the trail would eventually lead you through your connections with Shibani would it be material and irrelevant if I would ask you when did you first suspect the picture was the motivating factor in the case not at all mr. Turney well I visited Giroux he showed me photographs of paintings he's copied one of them happened to be short dies Giroux paid the price for his double-dealing deal there if I've just killed you all so instead of just knocking you out it would save me a lot of trouble now but what would you do with another corpse and this time in your own house don't worry I shall dispose of you if I am going to dispose of all the masterpieces of the late mrs. rule in the furnace move [Music] [Music] that's it all the way signal [Music] there's your man is your eminence boys only let scheme of viewers really turn to trick well it was the only thing to do with our flimsy case why you couldn't gotten a warrant to search his house come on let's see if we can't find your dad's original around here son and you know how much mr. O'Reilly family paid fight no $85,000 though they certainly knew a good thing when he saw it and he took advantage of the opportunity when it presented itself and that reminds me why didn't you tell us at the time you asked me to auction everything that you suspected him because I wasn't sure oh but I figured the sale of the picture would make the guilty man show his hand well we finally got a full confession from Tully he admits he killed your father when he caught him switching the pictures unfortunately you choose that night to quarrel with your dad and threaten him let me do job you suspect and the real motive for the murder was not a parent then what prompted him to act as my attorney knowing you a friend of mine he planned to have you plead guilty that would have closed the case for the police and put him on easy street but how you ever expected to get away with that substitution is beyond me god I knew that a copy existed in fact it was the only we suggested that he had that valuable old nursery produced and because he needed money badly well Jordan's decision to changes well gave delay the idea to snatch the original he figured that the fraud would never be discovered by the heirs but why did he keep Portwenn and steal those other paintings sure who happened to be in his way when he went for the original which he had hidden at the store he stole all the copies to make it appear like a common burglary but how could he go in and out of Shibani so freely in the middle of the night it was a partner in the store as business was bad he took Shabani into that reproduction ID to make some extra money yes same I mean doctor what we you had made we said Bernie a very happy man since he has his copies back now Shabani makes you very happy also for you the he wore the magnifique well thank you but what is it it belonged to Napoleon he used it to keep his feet warm in bed when it was cold at night this bar [Laughter] [Music]
