Condolences from the Star & Chateau Rouge Stables on the death of owner Giacomo Garris

Olga Dubovitch Sole heiress of Giacomo Garris

Silence!

I would ask the gentlemen of the press to move back.

Photographers out!

Or I'll clear the court!

And we'll proceed behind closed doors!

Silence!

Get away!

Pack of wolves! Get out of here!

Your Honour, you can't hold a trial like this,

like a social gathering.

The State's Attorney will save his remarks,

and stick to the duties of his office.

I'm quite familiar with court procedure!

Silence!

Now he'll hear from me. - Yes, but speak up!

This court is now in session

in the trial of Olga Dubovitch,

charged with the murder of Giacomo Garris.

Courage.

The Prosecution will begin.

Your honour,

ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

I have nothing further to say.

Dr. Xatis, I hope you did not offend because of what I said.

No, no!

The Code of Law alone expresses my thoughts,

and I believe those of the jury as well.

Article 576...Homicide.

Article 57... Premeditated.

Articles 583 and 685... Aggravated Circumstances.

And in such cases there is a prescribed sentence,

that society must inflict on the accused.

Silence!

What is the prescribed sentence? - No big deal. I'll argue against it.

I would ask the Prosecutor to be precise.

The circumstantial evidence against the accused,

is much clearer than any concrete proof.

And spell out, in the very telling of them, the stages of the crime,

with which this woman was freed from her lover Giacomo Garris.

My notes.

First, the accused was an immoral woman,

whose disreputable past... I can give you proof of.

Give me the photograph.

Clerk!

Here is how Olga Dubovitch looked,

when she was stripping to that number,

"Cole, look at my mole" - I object!

I object! The Prosecution is trying to influence the jury,

with facts not relevant to this trial! - I'm not trying to influence anyone.

It's necessary to examine the accused's figure,

to fully understand the actions of the deceased.

Isn't that so, Your Honour?

Yes. It's better to examine everything.

You can see her mole well in this one.

Alright alright. There's no need to waste words.

Is it true or not that the accused was the lover of Garris?

Of course it's true! - What are you saying? You shouldn't answer!

But he asked me!

Come on Counselor, I know everything.

And is it not equally true,

that the accused forced Garris to make a will favouring her?

It's useless to make this "Mh-mh." We know that too.

I had to say it.

That "Mh-mh," why did you say it?

Because my lawyer told me not to answer.

You tell him!

Be quiet! The questions aren't addressed to you.

Your Honour, I ask that the Prosecution,

in his submissions, not direct questions to my client!

I'm not directing questions to the accused, but to public opinion.

Let's avoid confusion and have public opinion,

look the other way for now. Clerk!

Alright then. I have a question for the jury.

Is it true or not that the will was made during the vacation,

on the Isle of Maratis? A vacation that proved fatal to Garris.

That's crystal clear!

Will the jury foreman refrain from commenting,

until he is back in the jury room.

It will allow us to proceed faster, otherwise we'll never finish.

Agreed.

For me, it's enough to establish that the victim,

a half hour before the crime, wished to annul the aforementioned will.

Take note, jury members, a half an hour before!

We have the testimony of the staff at the Barracuda Restaurant,

where the accused dined with the victim.

According to the testimony, we know that the victim argued with the accused,

accusing her of frequent infidelity.

True or not?

Counselor, should I answer? - No.

Mister Xatis, stop these rhetorical questions.

I ask your pardon.

But one thing is certain..

After the fight Garris phoned his notary and hurried back to the hotel,

obviously to revoke the will.

But he never got the chance.

Because the accused left the restaurant,

and arrived at the hotel before Garris!

When he was killed, according to the accused's statement,

she was in the shower.

Unable, therefore, to run quickly,

because she was completely naked.

It appears, however that the accused was found,

next to the body of Giacomo Garris,

with this gun still in her hand.

About this all the witnesses agree.

We'd have one more if we could only find a certain Layos Camulca,

who witnessed the scene from his hotel window. but left the next day,

and to date cannot be found.

It's a shame.

However, I don't need other witnesses,

nor further evidence to affirm, in good conscience,

that Olga Dubovitch is a murderer.

Therefore I ask that the accused be ordered to serve,

an extra 3 months prison term for possession of a dangerous weapon.

Furthermore...

I said furthermore!

With regard to the premeditated murder of Giacomo Garris,

and in consideration of the evil motives,

I ask for the death penalty by firing squad.

What? They want to shoot me?

Don't worry. I still get to speak. I'll sort it out.

Are you finished? - Yes.

Defense takes the floor.

Your Honour,

members of the jury,

The Prosecution has tried his best,

to portray in an unflattering light the morals of Olga Dubovitch,

while neglecting to mention my client's deprived childhood,

where she fought and suffered to make her way,

from her earliest childhood... - What nonsense are you saying?

What about my childhood?

Excuse me Your Honour, I don't agree with this death sentence.

Are we crazy?

Silence! - What are you doing? You can't interrupt!

I'll interrupt as I please! It's me that's condemned to death not him.

Miss Dubovitch, I understand your reaction,

but it's up to your lawyer to defend you. - Eh!

You see how he defends me?

He talks about my childhood, but doesn't worry about my future.

Your Honour... nothing was said about the robber.

The robber?

Which robber? - Mah.

A robber...a vulgar run-of-the-mill robber.

You know what thieves are like.

Maybe the kind that enters a room to steal something,

then someone surprises them,

and they get scared and poof! They shoot.

What are you saying? Let me handle this.

Your Honour, let's not waste time with this foolishness.

If there was a thief in the room, why didn't she mention it before?

At first I didn't think it was necessary,

but now it occurs to me that this would be a good time to mention it.

This is absurd. I object!

I beg you Miss Dubovitch, you're ruining me.

What you're saying contradicts my entire defence.

Some defence, Counselor! I'll defend myself!

Silence!

I'm sorry Miss Dubovitch.

We can't accept your declaration.

It conflicts with the statements of the inquiry.

I've always declared that I didn't kill Garris,

and now that one says I killed him.

Hold on.

Why didn't you say that he was killed by a robber?

I'm not saying that. I'm saying it could have been a robber.

I didn't even see it.

If you didn't see it then where did this robber come from?

I'm no expert on thieves, but I saw a shadow leave from the window.

It may be that he wasn't a thief.

So then who was he?

How should I know? It's your job to find out, not mine.

You hurry to condemn a person to death,

simply because you found them with a gun in their hand.

And to make it worse, there's my lawyer.

It's all his fault! "Just be quiet," he tells me.

"I'll do the thinking." You see how far that's got me?

I object. I have my defence strategy, Your Honour.

I agree with the defence. I'll object as well.

I ask that the hearing be suspended. - I agree!

I must speak with my client. - Silencio!

Silence!

The hearing is suspended.

The court will adjourn to examine new evidence that has emerged from these proceedings.

Are you crazy? Don't you understand that with this story of the shadow,

we run the risk of having to travel to the island to survey the scene first hand?

Really? It's an enchanting place.

On the island they could find new evidence against you,

which could weaken your case! Scram.

Why? Is there something worse than the death penalty?

Olga, tell me the truth! I'm asking now,

not only as a defence attorney but also a friend.

Did you kill him? Yes or no?

For the accused.

How beautiful!

More flowers?

Who are they from? - From someone who believes I'm innocent.

Another one who wants to marry me.

It's absurd to re-open the enquiries,

and be made a laughing stock by the press.

Dear Xatis, at times you can be quite offensive.

You want to teach me High Court procedure?

God forbid! I have complete faith,

and I know perfectly well that you think like me.

But it's absurd to re-open the enquiries. and go to the Maratis,

which by the way is very far.

It's a lovely island with an exceptional climate.

What's that got to do with anything? We're not looking for a holiday destination!

We're looking for justice! - And we're looking to get an injection.

Now leave us please or he's liable to burst the vein.

I've done my duty. Now it's up to her.

Yes, yes. We'll see you in court.

What a nuisance!

I wish Dubovitch were innocent just to spite him.

Tighten your fist.

Even the finger. - You don't have to tell me, I get it.

Let me look at that.

Aha. - Is it serious?

If you believe exhaustion can be cured with a shot,

you're mistaken. It's just a temporary fix and fairly useless.

What you need most is some rest. - What's that you say?

Classic Ferguson Syndrome. The nervous system no longer responds.

Within 6 months you won't be able to close your fist, then the whole arm,

and after a bit more time... - My "Johnson!" What can I do?

I told you already to get some rest right now.

If you only knew how much I'd like to, but how can I with this trial?

Doctor, you know this Island of Maratis?

It's the ideal place for you. Ideal.

You bought oil and minerals and now they're dropping. You want to ruin me?

I thought.. - You're not supposed to think!

You only do what I tell you. Sell it right away!

Damn, I need this trial like a hole in the head.

Let's hope it ends today! - And if it doesn't end?

It must, otherwise I'm ruined. - COURT IS IN SESSION!

Given the new testimony since last session,

the court has decided to re-open the investigation,

pursuant to article 402 of the Penal Code.

Wherein this court will re-locate to the Island of Maratis.

Silence! In order to evaluate the evidence already presented,

we will look at this new testimony in order to get to the truth.

Therefore the case against Olga Dubovitch,

is adjourned until further notice.

Your Honour, Everything seemed so clear!

How dare you! - Excuse me,

I've urgent business at the stock exchange and can't afford to be away any longer.

I ask to be excused.

Your affairs at the stock exchange do not interest this court.

In accordance with article 432 of the criminal code,

you are obliged, as head of the jury, to be part of this investigation.

Get lost!

Get back! Please, get back!

Polydette! - Eh?

The minutes of the second hearing! - Right away.

...Oil and minerals, 700. - Damn it!

...Reo Realty Trust, 2800.

Stop with all your business. You'll get an ulcer.

Impossible, I already have one.

First sitting for the Dining Car.

First sitting for the Dining Car.

Agrinio! Agrinio!

Change here for Patrasso.

I guarantee you, the dining service on this train is exquisite.

Eat well and after the have a wine, "The Elixir of Piraeus."

Served in a slim bottle to augment the fragrance and aroma.

What's that? - A small snack as an appetizer.

Put it away! We're not at the tavern! Let's go.

Hold on! - Did you forget something?

Are we eating like this, just us? -He's right, we ought to invite the accused.

The guard provides the accused with a box lunch, don't worry.

A box lunch for such a lady? Come on, Xatis!

For us she's just a detainee and must eat her rations in isolation,

according to regulations.

Is this free, Madame? - Please, take a seat.

If I may take advantage, thank you.

No!

Quickly Your Honour, the accused...

has escaped.

You're a disgrace!

Yes.

Make sure you watch that luggage.

Aren't you the lady from last summer?

I remember, I was there too! - Where were you?

I was inches away, I saw her shoot.

Can you swear to it? - And how!

She put the beast down with one shot.

A lucky shot. - Yeah, a 200 kg wild boar!

I hope you won't use that rifle on me.

For heaven's sake, Madame, hunting is a hobby of mine.

Did you have a good trip? Very nice, thank you.

Don't forget my rifle, boy.

Right this way, Excellency. - Do you like the place, Your Honour?

Lovely! A real paradise on earth.

Shall we go in?

How are you, dear Manning?

Madame Dubovitch, what a wonderful surprise!

I regret seeing you under such circumstances,

but I assure you our feelings for you haven't changed.

We can go up. - Thank you.

Marietta, you've become even prettier. - Thank you.

Cari, how nice to see you again.

Paolino, you just never seem to grow!

Let's go!

Poor thing.

Listen here, the Domokos Tribunal has booked...

Oh yes..we know all about it. One moment please.

S'cuse me...S'cuse me...S'cuse me.

Those are all the defendants's bags. What about ours?

Come on!

Wait, I'll take off the handcuffs.

The hotel is deserted. There's only a young newlywed couple.

Enrico, come see! It's that famous lady. From the court.

I reserved for you the quietest suite.

It was Sir Winston Churchill's favourite.

What's inside there? -It's the suite where the crime was commited.

Look! They're from the trial too!

No gentlemen, your rooms are on the next floor. Right this way.

Excuse me, Madame Dubovitch? - Suite 5

Thank you. - Don't mention it.

May I?

Enrico, what's wrong? - Nothing.

You're so pale! - Go on!

But it's so exciting!

Here, this is the largest.

Impossible. There must be some mistake.

No. Mister Manning said that you're to stay here.

Really?

If I may... Mister Manning!

Mister Manning!

Whatever shall we do with this soldier?

I don't know. He follows me like a shadow ever since we left.

I'm not sure what he's up to.

Mister Manning! I wish to speak to the manager.

Oh, pardon me Madame. - Oh!

Manager! Mister Manning! - Here I am!

We were given jail cells, not rooms.

I'm really sorry. There's nothing else.

How's that possible? The season is over. The hotel is almost empty.

That means nothing. - Yes, still..

you could put us in something better, like the defendant.

Madame Dubovitch is not on the "fixed price" like you.

It's customary in large hotels to reserve the best suites,

for our highly valued clients. -Manning! -Right here!

Young lady, aren't we considered high valued clients?

Of course, but not like Madame Dubovitch.

Of course, as you wish. The problem is solved.

We can accommodate you in this suite.

Thank you for changing your opinion of us.

Thank Madame Dubovitch. Her wish is our command.

I'll have the bags brought down. - No, take them to our rooms!

Why? -A judge cannot accept favours from a defendant.

Isn't that so, Your Honour? - You're scruples are well intentioned,

but let's show some flexibility. - I'm sorry, I don't bend.

If you insist...stay in the small room! - Fine.

And you? - No..We'll manage down below.

We'll manage.

Thank you.

Thank you for your kindness. -No need. Goodnight. -Goodnight.

I'm sorry but I must lock you in.

The key.

Here it is. - Thank you.

Good night. - Au Revoir.

Excuse me Your Honour, what time tomorrow morning?

Court is in session at 9:00

Thank You.

It's nothing. All the locks are a bit defective.

Guard, you're to spend the night in front of the defendant's door.

Mister Manager, you'll bring him a cot.

A cot? - Yes, a cot.

Good Evening.

Thank you for the roses.

Not at all.

It's 9:15 and still no one's come down.

If we start like this when will we finish?

You should use your authority and take action, Your Honour.

We're not on holidays. - We're not even in court.

Should I sound the alarm and punish the latecomers?

Todays paper is from last week.

On the other hand it's good practice to mix business with pleasure.

And there's nothing in the law code that forbids it.

Do you like hunting? Sports?

I don't waste time with such things! I'm a businessman.

Good morning! Did you sleep well? - Very well!

Too bad we can't take advantage of a day like this.

You're telling me!

If you could, what would you do? Andrei would hunt partridges.

It's the season... Excuse me. - Watch your step.

There sure are a lot of young partridges, you hear them?

I hear, I hear.

Good day to you all! - Good day.

Are we ready? - We're just missing the Public Prosecutor.

Shall we wait for him? - No, there's no point.

Let's get on with it. - Fine.

No! This table's reserved for Madame Dubovitch.

You get that one.

Thank you.

Take a seat.

Just the right height. - Thank you.

Your blueberry jam.

Is everything alright Your Honour? - A shade more jam.

More butter too.

Agreed that the defendant should wear handcuffs,

but at least take them off that poor fellow.

Good idea Your Honour. Take them off, dear.

You were telling me about partridges.

Yes. Imagine, the partridge has 20 tail feathers instead of 18,

and a quarter of them, all in a row, are very long.

Amazing. - Yes, yes.

I didn't know that you were such a "Diana the Huntress."

Something to pass the time.

Counselor, do you enjoy the hunt? - Mmm, no.

That's bad. That means that she doesn't like animals.

Poor Garris wanted to make this island a kind of reserve.

It would have cost him a fortune.

He earned enough on the stock market,

that a million more or less, he didn't care.

Before he died, he had in mind an investment,

where each share would have increased a thousand times.

Millions and millions.

What shares were they?

Shall we change the subject? I prefer hunting.

That's far more exciting, isn't that so, Your Honour?

It is. For me speculating in stocks is a crime.

Oh Counselor, did you sleep well in your cell?

Very well.

When I have a clear conscience I always sleep well.

You're all still here? - Where do you want us to be?

I've been waiting upstairs to start the investigation.

We're a quarter of an hour behind schedule.

Miss, by chance do you remember which stocks were..

What? Yes, of course I remember.

Excuse me. You're not having anything Mister Xatis?

Don't you worry, for me a drop of coffee is enough.

I'm sorry, there's nothing left but tea.

Would you care for a bit of my coffee? - No thanks. I'll have a bit of tea.

I'm sorry, we drank that too. - If only we had known.

It's not important. Let's not waste any more time.

Let's reconstruct this crime! Let's go! Speed it up!

You too gentlemen!

Hurry up!

He won't let us finish our breakfast!

Overzealous. - Don't run!

Excuse me Miss Dubovitch.

Those stocks... could you tell me a bit about them?

Why? Are they related somehow to the trial?

No, I just want to shed light on all the facts, even the most marginal.

Oh really? That's commendable. Bravo.

Counselor...

I'd like to, but what if anybody asks?

They won't ask if you don't talk.

Look, this is for you. - Thank you.

But if they ask, what should I say? - Nothing! You shouldn't say a thing!

You never laid eyes on me before. Understand?

Oh, here they come!

Remember!

This is negative publicity for my hotel.

I should claim damages and I will! - Eh!

Come here!

Are you the maid on this floor? - Yes.

Polydette! - Here I am!

Were you the one on duty that evening?

She was the first to rush over after the shot was fired.

What are you doing? - Nothing, I heard strange noises.

Instead of noises, you should pay more attention to me.

You've changed since yesterday. - Don't say that my love.

It's just that the surroundings here make me nervous.

How about we leave. - Why are you always talking about leaving?

Not romantic enough here?

No! Don't open it!

Why, darling? What's the matter? - I'll go! I'll go!

I'm so sorry to bother you. It's not my fault.

We're Officials of the Court. Here to reconstruct a crime.

What? In our suite?

I'm sorry madam but the victim was discovered right here.

Oh God! My love, that's horrible! - You can't do this!

The course of justice must not be obstructed.

It'll take a few minutes.

Excuse me, but are you in the market? - What?

The stocks you were talking about before. - The Anonymous Metals..

Exactly, I wanted to know... What did you say they were called?

Anonymous Metals. That's all you wanted to know, right?

Yes yes, but only for the sake of the jury.

Of course.

You're Olga Dubovitch? The one that...

That's in all the papers for a crime she didn't commit.

Yes

A few months ago I also stayed in this room,

happy, like you,

with the man I loved, like you.

Then I found him dead. There! On the ground!

Enough with the comedy. Can we start now?

We're not involved with the crime. Can we leave?

No, please. It's so exciting! Like watching a thriller!

Are we all here?

No, Mr. Poseyon is missing. I'll go call him.

Don't you find it exciting? - Yes, very exciting.

It's a huge deal. I'll explain later. Just buy Anonymous Metals

The more you buy the better, understand? Don't you worry...

Sell everything I have. Borrow the money, but...

Mister Posayon! - Just a moment.

We're ready! - Okay.

His Honour is waiting for you. - I'm coming now!

Understand? Anonymous metals. A-non-y-mous Me-tals.

Miss, could you retrace your movements of the night in question?

Gladly. - Thank you.

But..who'll play the part of the thief? - What's this got to do with the thief?

Didn't we come here to establish whether I was telling the truth or not?

So if the thief killed Garris he should be included as well, no?

So you say. -Yes, but it's up to you to prove the opposite.

He's right. Poseyon, please play the part of the thief.

The thief? Why me? - You wouldn't want me to do it!

I'm the judge. - Excuse me gentlemen,

we need to determine where to start. - From the time of the shooting.

If the defendant's claim is true,

the "shadow" would have been seen by the witnesses who rushed into the room.

otherwise he doesn't exist. - Eh, no!

It's possible the shadow exists and wasn't seen by the witnesses.

We need to admit the possibility of this hypothesis in order to include the thief.

I say the thief is pointless! - Silence!

I confess, it's all a bit confusing,

but truth, the real truth, must prevail.

No matter if it's Miss Dobovitch's or that of Mr. Xatis.

Okay. We'll start from the beginning, when the accused was in the shower.

If that's okay with you Counselor or do you have any objections?

Oh! - That's not a response.

Fine. I agree.

Polydette, mark the positions. - Yes.

Why don't we get out of here? - No, I'm having too much fun.

Look, he's drawing the body.

What can they be doing? - Don't worry.

Rather, what are you doing after? - Me? After the shooting I ran over.

No, I meant after work. We could get together.

After work I always go to bed. - Me too.

There, it's done. It didn't come out so good by hand.

Poseyon, you play the corpse. - But I play the thief!

No, Xatis is right. You play the corpse.

For the thief we need a more nimble type. - Would you mind doing it?

Me? Not a chance! - Oh yes! Do it!

For the sake of justice, go to the window.

When will this foolishness end? Everything we need to know we already know.

Yes, it's useless. And why are we starting at the shower?

On the contrary. It's very useful.

I just want to see how the accused was able to get to this room,

coming from the bathroom,

which is situated twice as far down the hall, before the witnesses,

who when they arrived found her already here.

In the shower, will I have to undress?

Of course. Like you did that night. Also we'll need someone to inspect.

I object, the inspection is unecessary. - Objection overruled.

We must take into consideration the time it took her to cover up.

Fine. I'll inspect. - No, we need an impartial judge,

and you're the defense attorney. - The inspection wouldn't be legal.

Alright then, you do it.

Shall we?

What should I do? - What do you think?

Go! Go inspect!

Doctor Xatis, could you help me please?

Thank you.

Mister Prosecution, do you think it strange that I can't find my mole anymore.

Oh, there it is!

Mister Xatis. - Eh?

Could you hand me the robe please?

Thank you.

Are we ready over there?

Are you ready Miss Dubovitch? -Ready Mister Xatis. -We're ready!

You, prepare to jump in from the window. Polydette, the gun.

Who shoots? - Give it to me.

Me? - You're dead, stay there.

Ready?

Ready? - Yes.

Don't laugh! - And cover up.

Ready? - Ready you two?

- Yes sir...Ow! - Try that again!

Oh mamma mia!

You see?

From the shower she arrives after them.

Instead they found her already here.

Why? Because she'd just commited the crime.

Then we're done.

Down!

One moment.

If they arrived that quickly, they would've seen the thief.

Did you see him?

Who? - The thief, him.

We're on the second floor.

What? Mister Kinalis a thief? - Yes, I saw him run away.

Look Miss, the thief couldn't jump out the window.

Why not? - We're on the second floor.

I'm sorry, how could he?

I don't know. Maybe he climbed out onto the ledge.

He was already on the ledge. - Really? Scoundrel! Cad!

You're a thief! You want me to keep my mouth shut, but I'll say the truth!

What truth? What ideas popped into your head? - A fiction, whatever she's come up with.

What are you saying? What truth? -It's nothing but a stupid misunderstanding.

Here, take back your money!

I didn't know he was a thief, I swear. I thought something else. -What?

That's enough, let's go! - No, my love, I want to hear the truth!

Yes, stay where you are. Tell us, why did you have this money?

Because he took complete advantage of me.

Even before that one started pinching me!

What did you do with this girl? - Nothing. I wasn't thinking.

Shut up! -What do you want to tell us regarding the truth?

The evening of the crime when I heard the shot,

I was bringing dinner to him.

You were here? What were you up to? - Nothing dear, I'll explain later.

No! You'll explain to all of us now!

No, he must confess everything to me first! His wife!

You told me it was the first time you'd been here!

By all means step over me. - Pardon me.

Coward!

What do you think of this guy?

I don't know - Miss, stop slapping him.

I'll wait for the truth. - I beg you Miss, calm down.

We'll clear this up now. Why the mystery?

I swear to you, I don't know anything. I didn't see anything.

I was here. I kept it to myself because I didn't want to upset you.

I would have taken you with me but it was a business trip.

A damned job! The whole time I was

in my room, alone, like a dog.

It was as if I was never here.

Explain it all to her after. Now you answer us! -What do you want from me?

I was in the room next door and heard the shot.

I didn't come out because I didn't want to get involved.

Yes, that's the truth.

I was in front of his door with the dinner tray when I heard the shot.

Then instead of going to him I rushed right over here.

That explains how she got here so quickly.

How's that? - There was nothing in her hands.

I was just about to say that.

Try it again, but with the maid carrying a tray.

These are minor details.

You're right. Minor details. They won't bring back the dead.

However we need to establish the truth.

Prepare the dinner tray exactly as it was that night. -Okay.

Come, my love. - Get over there, you're the thief!

Again? - You're involved now.

Okay. Back to the bathroom. - No no. I'll see to it myself now.

Everything must be done the right way. - Ah.

Well then, who shoots? -You. After all, the shot is the final word.

Should I take off the robe or not?

I think so, right?

Yes, I think so too. - Me too.

Off with the robe.

There we go.

Do you mind putting this necklace on the shelf?

Brrr...it's cold!

I don't understand what's taking so long.

I don't know what to do. - I was here working.

Why don't you believe me?

Are you ready Miss Dubovitch? - Completely ready.

Are you ready? - Ready!

Let's go Counselor. Shoot! Make it snappy!

Did you do something with the maid?

Go to the window! - If you go on like this I swear I'll jump.

No Enrico, I love you.

Let's go. Make up later.

Enough with this farce, let's go! Shoot!

Hurry up!

Fire!

My intentions are serious. - Stop or I'll throw this tray at your head!

Why?

Shall I open it? -No, I have to do it myself otherwise it's useless.

Oh God!

Satisfied?

You see, it takes longer with the tray.

But she doesn't have the tray. - I had to leave it in the hall.

Here it is. - You see?

My client had enough time to get here, to see the shadow,

and pick up the gun.

It's the same tray as that night? - Yes, for sure.

I'm here!

Punctual as always.

The tray's set for two. - Yes, like that night.

One dinner for two.

I chose the champagne. Moet & Chandon 1925.

Coward! For two? You told me you were here for work!

Enrico, are you hurt?

Enrico, wait for me! - Ow, my arm.

Good jump. - Nothing serious, he landed on the cactus.

I planted them myself.

See how you can exit from the window?

Indeed. What do you say Mr. Xatis?

I say if there was a thief, someone would have seen him,

besides the accused.

For sure, even a child understands that.

Mr. Poseyon, I'd invite you to exercise caution

when expressing an opinion.

When you arrived did you see anyone at the window?

Who, me? Yes, the thief... Afterwards he fell to the ground.

Not this one, the other one. You saw the one from that night?

Who? -The shadow, the thief! -Leave her, she doesn't understand a thing.

If only we could track down the witness,

that saw everything from the window.

Counselor, what's he called this invisible witness?

Layos Camulca.

Are you looking for Mr. Camulca? - Perhaps you've seen him?

He stayed here last weekend, then left for Athens.

Athens. You know where he can be found? - In the Attica disctrict.

Mr. Camulca, you say. - Yes, I have his address in the register.

Can I get dressed? - Surely, by all means.

Okay, let's return to court

and we'll hear from Mr. Camulca at the trial.

Let's go now, there's a boat leaving soon. - You'll do what we decide!

Your Honour, your hat! - Help! Thief!

Someone stole my necklace! - What?

I'm sorry but nobody leaves here,

until we find the thief or the necklace.

Captain, the boat leaves in 15 minutes!

You! What's your name?

Poseyon, but I didn't do anything. Those two were in the shower with her!

What are you insinuating? We're here to shed light on a crime

and I hope you're not going to stand in the way of justice.

Your crime doesn't interest me. I wanna get to the bottom of this robbery.

If you object, then it's you standing in the way of justice!

Mr. Xatis is right. It's you who stands in the way of justice

by not supporting the judiciary... - Heaven forbid!

I have nothing against the judiciary,

but the world is filled with judges who get in my way.

When I arrest a thief it's always a judge who throws out the case.

You're stuck on this island because of the judiciary,

not because of me 'cause I'm very thorough!

Are you getting even with us? - Heaven forbid!

But for you gentlemen, the robbery is merely a crime.

While for me, the crime is a nothing less than robbery.

We're not leaving. We'll continue the investigation.

This is absurd! A clown show!

How dare you!

I could charge you with contempt towards a police officer!

Take it back now! - No!

Calm down. Mr. Xatis wasn't referring to you.

If you all intend to stay then stay. I'm leaving!

This theft nothing to do with me. - You'll stay here!

This petty theft of the necklace threatens the entire case!

By reporting it you aggravated the judge.

Maybe, but if they leave, it means the death penalty for me.

Calm down and leave the driving to me.

If you go on like this I'll ask for a psychiatric report.

One can hardly suspect someone,

because of where the crime occured.

That's what I say. And yet you suspect me

because I was found at the scene of the crime.

That doesn't interest me. Rather, Miss..what a pretty hat.

Was there anything special about that necklace?

No, it was just a pretty little thing,

with a few sapphires and about 30 diamonds.

I found a photo where you can really see it.

Where did you get it? - I just happened to have it.

It'll help the investigation.

Let me see that.

No, please don't look.

Why don't you want us to see it?

Because it came out badly. It wouldn't be useful.

No, it is useful.

I said it wouldn't be useful because I meant to say,

that I'm sorry but I found the necklace.

Huh? What?

Are you sure? - Very sure.

Where did you find it? - What does it matter?

Now that I've found it do the details really matter?

Excuse me Counselor.

Tell me where you found it. Maybe the thief who hid it,

might go back and get it. I know these thieves.

No, it was my fault. An oversight.

I withdraw my complaint.

So..just close the file? - Yes, close the file.

Nothing else stolen? - No

What a beautiful mouth... made for kissing.

Goodbye Captain.

She throws the whole Magistrate's Court into disrepute.

It's not her fault. The necklace disappeared.

You should thank me. I didn't find the necklace.

So then... - I had to lie, Counselor.

I didn't want him to accuse the officers of the court.

I can't thank you enough, Miss but you shouldn't have gone to the trouble.

Your Honour, the boat! - No!

I think it better to stay.

Yes, if a valuable necklace has disappeared, we can't possibly go.

Counselor, a martini? - Thank you.

Poseyon, a martini? - Yes.

Martini? - Yes.

I'd have another breakfast, and a latte.

4 martini's and look after that fellow.

For me that story about the necklace is all some trick.

I can't allow such accusations.

I'm sorry but you must.

It's in your interest.

Until now your client has tried to make us believe,

in the existence of the shadow, true?

Today I also believe that this shadow exists.

I don't get what the connection could be between this shadow and the necklace.

Perhaps now the accused is sorry that the shadow exists.

Now I get it. You think the shadow stole the necklace.

No, I think the accused wants to prevent us from speaking to the witness Camulca.

The necklace trick was only to keep us on the island.

Don't you see? Camulca also saw the shadow.

If he saw it, that proves my client is innocent.

Correct! - Not at all!

The shadow isn't that of a thief, but rather of an accomplice.

Her lover.

No, You're trying to throw mud on my client's reputation.

Miss Dubovitch has never had a lover.

We're not in court, please. - And Garris, who was he?

The lover...in any case he seems like the only one.

Yes..the only one more or less.

The defendant is hardly a woman who is easily shocked.

Polydette, correct me if I'm wrong.

How long did it take the accused to walk to the hotel,

from the Barracuda restaurant? 15 minutes I think.

Hold on, let's see.

20:00-20:15, that's 15 minutes.

How long did it take Garris who was in a car?

Let's see.

He left just after and arrived at 20:20. - Chin-chin.

Chin-chin. Let's say 16, 17 minutes.

So explain to me, gentlemen, how did the accused on foot,

arrive before Garris who was in his car?

Somebody gave her a lift. It's the only possibility.

That somebody is the shadow, the accomplice.

Who's accomplice?

Excuse me.

Your accomplice! - Thank you.

Yes, Miss.

The Public Prosecuter has noticed something very interesting.

How come it only took you 15 minutes to get here from the restaurant?

I went by way of the beach, it was such a beautiful night.

From there it's only an moment.

It's a shortcut. - I didn't think of the beach.

Naturally, because you don't know the island.

Now may I take a walk? - One moment, please.

First, may I see that photo of the necklace?

Why? Are you still thinking of the necklace?

Don't worry. After I told you

that I didn't like the photo, I threw it away.

Not important. By all means take your walk. - Thank you.

Niarchos! - At your command!

Accompany the accused outdoors.

Your Honour.

No, dear Xatis, allow me to take a little air as well.

I think that's enough for today.

Niarchos, I found a four-leaf clover!

I wonder if it will bring me luck.

Excuse me Miss. - Hands in the air! What are you doing here?

I wanted to ask a favour from the Madame. - From me?

To speak to the accused you need permission.

Come on Niarchos, don't be so strict. It's enough you're here.

After all, we have no secrets.

Be nice.

I really do have a secret.

I love my wife and I'll lose her if she continues to believe

that I was with another woman that night.

But it's the truth. - Yes, but it was just an meaningless fling.

If you could just talk to her and convince her that I was alone.

Me? - Yes, you could come up with something...

One small lie, it wouldn't be difficult.

My wife will believe you, I'm sure.

Quiet! Your wife!

A fine job you've got there.

Dearest, what are you saying? - You be quiet!

You continue to tell lies. He told me he didn't know her.

It's not... - But he knew me.

What's the use of lying again? Better to tell the truth.

Honey, don't listen to her. - Quiet! Let her finish!

Don't interfere. Finally, someone's going to talk.

The truth is that your husband was not alone that night.

I imagined as much.

He wasn't with a woman, as you imagine.

Who was he with? - With a man.

How's that? - No no, don't worry.

I asked your husband to put my lover up in his room.

Because Garris arrived and I didn't know where to hide him.

What?

So it's true.

You had another lover.

Yes, I apologize.

And I'm very sorry to have involved an innocent person.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry Enrico, I had no idea that...

Darling I hope you're convinced.

See what happens when you do favours for strangers?

Let's go.

My little star, it's my fault you fell out the window.

No, I fell all on my own.

I don't understand why you offered dinner to a stranger!

You're starting again? Why, why? Because he was hungry!

I'm sorry but you'll have to repeat it all in front of the others.

Why? - What do you mean why?

For days we've been searching for the truth!

It's not the truth. Niarchos knows it.

I made it all up for the happiness of the newlyweds.

Yes. Madame has been very generous.

But it brings into question your reputation.

You risk...well, what you've done is dangerous!

Maybe, but it's nice to do a good deed.

And give a bit of happiness to others.

I'll keep an eye on the accused. Go on. - Yes sir!

Miss, I don't know how to express my admiration!

Oops!..But you ought to be more careful with your generosity.

It's the second time you risk sacrificing yourself,

to save others. - Beh, no.

Truthfully, the first time was to save myself.

You see? The necklace wasn't stolen.

What? But then? - The whole thing was all a comedy.

But you convinced me it's better to tell the truth than to lie.

And better to rely on the understanding of others.

But why did you do it?

Don't you understand?

Do you think a woman like me, condemned to death,

wouldn't try anything to live?

By lying about the necklace I won another two days of life.

Only two days.

Now you tell me, did I do wrong?

Er..from a humane point of view I'd say no.

Yes, but as a judge and a magistrate, you'd condemn me, right?

Can't you be human with me?

No, it's not like that.

But from a strictly legal standpoint...

Enough of the law! Enough of these legal terms.

I can't stand it any longer. My life is over! It's destroyed, understand?

Calm down, don't carry on.

Let's not forget, dear, you're the accused in a homicide.

What do you mean?

I already told you I didn't kill Garris!

I'm innocent! Look at me! - Careful! Let's talk inside.

I don't care. Look into my eyes.

Do I look like the kind that would kill a man?

Right now, Miss... I'm almost sure not.

Is it the man or the judge that's talking? - The judge.

As a man, I would look into it further.

Look, I trust you. I beg you..

probe deeper. - Of course, I'll probe deeper.

But this isn't the right moment.

Of course. You're right. Forgive me.

Perhaps you prefer being the judge instead of a man.

No, but someone might see.

I'm sorry. For an instant I forgot my situation.

Perhaps it's these woods, the sky...

What beautiful pheasants!

Marvelous!

What are you doing? - I'll shoot him. Wouldn't you like that?

Yes, they're a passion of mine.

Since the day of my arrest I haven't eaten any.

Really? - No

Just let me step away.

I can't watch you shoot the innocent.

I understand.

Above all, keep an eye out for the gamekeeper.

HUNTING PROHIBITED

I know you mainland types, you're all the same.

First it's all about love. Then the boat leaves and the love leaves too.

I'll come back. I love you. Give me a kiss!

I swear, I'll come back and we'll be married. -No!

Be nice! - No!

Marietta, I beg you.

Can I ask what you're doing here?

Investigating. The accused will be back in a few minutes.

At your command!

Mister Prosecutor, big news!

You can't get here from the beach. - Let me see!

Here is the restaurant and here is the hotel.

In between there's a barrier that cuts the beach in half.

Just as I suspected. Now there are no more doubts.

The accomplice does exist. Look.

A feather from a pheasant!

The shot came from this side. - Someone's got to,

pinch these poachers. - There you go!

12 calibre, Sidney brand. You can't get them here. -No.

Hey Chef! - Tell me.

Cook it for me a la orange.

And serve it on a bed of creamy rice.

Did you shoot it? -No..someone gifted it to me.

I understand. But it'd be better if you hid the rifle. -Ah, yes.

I always suspected she was guilty.

And I've always valued your opinion,

but coming here wasn't completely useless.

It was for me! - Your Honour!

Just the one we're looking for. Take a look at this.

What is it? - The photo the accused tried to hide.

Garris and Ms. Dubovitch.

Here's Garris holding his cigar with one hand,

and holding the accused's hand with the other.

You see? He has a ring!

I see. So?

But Garris is also holding a glass. You see?

Polydette, the magnifying glass! - Yes.

I see it, but what's your point?

Your Honour, in one hand he holds the glass,

in the other the cigar. - I get it. And with another he's holding...

Right, he has three hands... It's impossible.

Exactly!

The third hand's not Garris but a third person, the accomplice!

Look at the ring. It's an unusual style.

Find the man with that ring and we find the accomplice.

But let's condemn her in the meantime,

then at your leisure we'll have a trial for the accomplice.

Telephone for Mr. Poseyon. A call from Athens.

I'll be right back. - Before we jump to conclusions,

I need to hear the accused's version.

Sure, but this time she won't wiggle out of it.

We also discovered that she couldn't go by way of the beach.

I left her in the park but now she's gone.

Why did you leave her alone with a man? - It was the Judge!

It was your duty to guard her. There's His Honour.

But the lady's not with him. I'll go look for her. Say nothing to no one.

My dear Counselor, I have interesting news for you.

Yes? -I must thank you for letting us see this photo.

You mean with regard to the necklace? - No, regarding the homocide. Look.

Excuse me but have you seen that young man who's guarding me? I'm always losing him.

Forget that young man. Look at this instead.

Do you enjoy jigsaw puzzles?

Why did you tear it up? - I told you it came out poorly.

And you're just too curious, not to mention indiscreet.

Would it also be indiscreet to ask who's hand that is, Olga?

Which hand? - One moment, before proceeding,

Poseyon should be present as head of the jury.

Otherwise we have to do it over again. - There's no need..Poseyon

has already made up his mind about the case.

That's absurd, Anonymous Metals shares are held by the Garris Group.

They can't crash!

Yes and I, when you told me,

I bought all the shares that were on the market,

but Garris's heir is Olga Dubovitch, Mr. Poseyon,

and if she's convicted, all her assets go to the State, understand?

The shares aren't worth a damn. - So get rid of them right away!

I tried but nobody wants them.

How is that possible? Not even for half? For a third?

Not even as a gift!

So then if she's convicted I'm ruined.

What'd you say? Hello?

Hello?

Do you recognise this ring?

How can I recognise the ring when I don't even know who's hand it is.

Oh really? You shake hands with strangers?

I thought it was Garris's hand.

And whose side are you on? Did you forget you're defending me?

Once again you invent a credible truth,

but fortunately the head of the jury already has a pretty clear idea.

Isn't that so, Poseyon? -About what? -About the guilt of the Accused.

The opinon of the jury is confidential.

I must wait for the Defense to make it's case.

You can never tell. - But a moment ago you were convinced...

It's complicated. One can't just condemn to death

a person based simply on speculation.

If Olga Dubovitch didn't kill him, who do you think killed him?

I know who killed him. And there he is!

In fact I knew it right away.

This fine gentleman is the culprit. - Fine...I confess.

I did it.

Aren't you ashamed? A judge! Didn't you know it was forbidden?

Forgive me, I'm willing to pay.

What are you talking about? - About a pheasant, get it?

If even a judge thinks he can do it, where does it end?

We can't waste any more time with such nonsense.

Nonsense? Was the theft of a diamond necklace nonsense?

And now poaching? What kind of magistrates are you?

And what kind of police captain are you?

Look at this ring! - Don't touch me! I'm a public official.

No! You're the accomplice of Olga Dubovitch!

This ring on your finger implicates you!

Are you crazy? Gimme back the ring!

Your Honour, the accused has disappeared!

No, she's here!

To be precise, she was here. But where is she?

We'll find her. Niarchos, arrest this man and don't let him escape.

I'm the police captain, I'll arrest all of you!

This doesn't end here! We don't close the file on this one!

Go ahead and keep the ring! For all it's worth!

They sell them in town for 200 lire.

Haircut? - No.

Okay, Ada.

Oh, Mr. Xatis! You have the nose of a bloodhound.

However did you find me?

I stopped thinking like a defendant and started thinking like a woman.

After two days by the sea where would one go but the hairdresser.

Goodbye Ada. - Goodbye Miss Olga.

See? It's better when you think like a man and not a prosecutor.

At least you'd find something.

Instead of these rings.

Do you see her, Counselor? - No, Your Honour.

They're together. Her and the Public Prosecutor.

He's capable of anything. Even pulling a confession out of her.

Oh Oh! - What is it?

There's a woman in a bath. - Ah!

Naked. - Let me see.

It's not her! - Not important.

Are you convinced now of my sincerity?

I'm suspicious by nature. And women always seem to lie.

Women sometimes do lie. But not to make enemies.

But in front of a declared enemy like you, they can also tell the truth.

Why did you claim that you came by way of the beach?

Halfway there's the Rock of Hercules, a barrier you can't pass.

How do you know? - I saw the map.

Your investigation is very scientific.

Hey, little one!

Have you ever played at the Rock of Hercules, on the beach?

Yeah, lot's of times.

What do you do if you want to get from one side to the other?

There's a big hole in the rock down below that I always go through.

Thanks.

I surrender to the beach.

Now that's what I call a room! Very nice.

And that's what I call a bed!

You can throw that map away,

the accused was telling the truth.

There's a big hole under the Rock of Hercules.

Yes, but only kids can use it.

Only kids? - It's a small hole...very small.

I'll go check. I want to see this clearly!

Do you want me to come with you? - Not necessary, I can do it myself.

Is something wrong, Counselor? - No, I just came by to tell you that...

you're spending a lot of time with His Honour and the Prosecutor.

It's dangerous.

Something could slip out that might be incriminating.

If anything incriminating has slipped out up till now,

it's not my fault. You're too passionate and emotional.

It's not that. It's just that I... - You're what?

Have you ever thought of getting married, Olga?

Married?

It's hard enough getting rid of a lover.

With a husband, there's always divorce.

You wouldn't need to...

Kill him? Is that what you wanted to say?

You still think I'm guilty, right?

Don't forget, you're my defence attorney. - I know, but...

I'm speaking...of love. Olga, Olga I love you!

Counselor, what's your problem?

Olga say yes, I beg you. Do you know I dream of you every night?

Last night I dreamt we were flying. That's why I'm making so many mistakes!

I'm a nervous wreck!

If this continues I'll end up making a horrible blunder!

Another? Isn't it enough the ones you've already commited?

You're showing me the door? - Silly boy.

It's for that policeman.

Until later.

Have you seen Mr. Xatis? I'd like to know about dinner.

He'll be right back. He's at the Rock of Hercules. -Good.

Did you say, "Rock of Hercules?"

Right now there's a high tide coming in quickly.

I advise you to warn him. - But how?

There's the motor boat, if you can tear yourself away.

Tear myself away...

Help.

Help!

Mister Prosecutor we're here. Don't move!

Closer.

Steady.

Again. - Steady Captain, you'll run into him.

Give me your hat!

Jump in!

I've got him. - Easy, easy.

Everything okay? - Yes, thank you.

There's cognac if you want.

Cognac? Where? - There, in the cabinet.

Polydette, what time is it? -8:00 PM

At what time did the accused say she came by way of the beach?

Try it with this.

I asked you what time.

8:00 PM.

Indeed! She couldn't have passed through... it's high tide.

That's right, she couldn't have passed through.

G.G...Giacomo Garris.

An excellent boat. Poor Giacomo Garris he knew what he was doing.

Yes, not bad.

Did you know the boss? - Yeah, a little.

There was a gun here. Where is it now?

Excuse me but who are you? - Leonida Xatis..

of the Criminal Court of Domokos. Where's the gun?

I don't know. -Spare me the stories, tell me what you're doing here.

I'm looking after Mr. Garris' motorboat.

After his death I stayed here because no one fired me.

Were you with Olga Dubovitch the night of the crime?

Yes, but I don't want to lose my job. If the Madame ever knew...

Don't worry about your job. Did the accused take the gun?

Of course. I was here at the helm so I could see her well.

She's the one who killed my boss.

What's keeping you from condemning her to death?

Indeed...that's exactly what I'm thinking.

Nothing more to say,

but there aren't enough roses. I'd add two more in the tail area.

Excellent.

What time should I serve? - I don't know, I'm waiting for an answer.

But send up the pheasant right away! - Okay.

Stick two roses up the ass of this pheasant,

and deliver it to those vagrants!

Deliver this in person to the Judge. - Alright, Miss Dubovitch.

What's your hurry? -I'm busy. -What's that you've got?

Give me that note. It's none of your business!

What do I get? -What do you want? -A kiss.

No, leave me alone! - What's going on?

I was searching about and seized this.

Coward!

Bravo.

I'd like to see you. If you agree, wait for me in the hotel lounge.

Alright.

Come right in.

I managed..

I managed to intercept a note that was sent to the accused.

A meeting.

Do you know who sent it? - No, unfortunately.

Okay. I just wanted to say that..

I object to violating the right to privacy.

I shouldn't read it? -There are limits that even an investigation shouldn't exceed.

This is an offense against citizen's rights.

I invited Poseyon and Counselor Alex for a light dinner.

Strange, you'll be three, but the table's set for two.

I gave orders to prepare for three!

Tell Mr. Poseyon and the Counselor Alex that I'm waiting for them. Now!

I won't disturb your privacy. I'll go to the meeting. -You?

Yes me. - Won't you stay for dinner with us?

No, I must see Miss Dubovitch. I've figured it all out.

Tonight, I'll get a confession from her.

Gentlemen, bon appetit!

Please, take a seat.

Counselor, do you like hunting? - I already told you, no.

And you, Mr. Poseyon? - I've already had my dinner.

Oh, it's you!

Disappointed? - On the contrary.

Let's take a ride on the motorboat, and afterwards have some dinner.

At the Barracuda? - Exactly.

I shouldn't drink so much. It's dangerous with you.

Why?

Because when I drink, I say things I should keep to myself.

That night, Garris and I drank the same champagne.

We were in the best of spirits and then...

And then you quarreled.

Yes. Absolutely.

He was suspicious like you.

He always accused me of cheating on him. - And instead...

Instead? Instead, I cheated on him.

Naturally.

You know how these industrialist types are, no?

They want to monopolize and can't stand competition.

And you?

Me? Yes...

I like competition...I'm very open-minded.

Would it be a conflict of interest if we danced a bit?

I'd really like that. Let's dance. - Yes, let's dance.

Wait, wait. I'd like to, but I haven't danced for a long time.

How long? - I was 15 years old.

You..15 years old?

Bravo!

Oh, oh! Oh my head!

You were telling me about the quarrel.

Can't you think of anything else? - No, it's not that.

Tell me, exactly how did Garris react to the quarrel?

He insulted me. - What did he say?

No!

And what did you do?

May I? - Of course.

Like that.

May I?

Of course. He did the same thing.

After he made a scene, he even threatened to change his will.

So how did you react?

Like that.

That's what I did! Was I wrong?

Then you burst into tears.

No.

No.

Now it's you that makes me cry.

Because...

you're so appealing in a cruel sort of way.

This play acting is useless. I know you had the gun on the motorboat.

Now it's time for you to confess.

Why are you so stubborn?

Alright then. But first let's drink up.

It'll loosen my tongue.

Did the Public Prosecutor tell you why he went to dinner with the accused?

To make her confess! - At this hour? At midnight?

This is irregular, you should stop him!

The Prosecutor's zeal has no limits.

That's no excuse.

Maybe he only went to woo her.

Relax, he's not that kind of man. He only wants one thing from the accused.

To make her confess!

The truth is always hidden in the background. We must help to uncover it.

To the truth! - To the truth!

After the slap, Garris was furious.

He said that if I didn't stop cheating on him,

he'd do something foolish.

I knew there was a gun on the motorboat.

I thought of Garris doing something foolish.

I was alarmed..frightened.

I took it..

and hid it in the dresser drawer.

I wanted to run away.

I thought to calm my nerves with a hot bath.

I went to the shower.

Wait a moment!

Wait a moment.

Listen to me carefully.

Why did you hide the gun so close within reach?

Where was I supposed to put it?

I couldn't take it into the shower with me.

Fair enough. Continue.

In the meantime,

poor Garris, by himself,

was seen writing something on his restaurant bill.

He was badly shaken.

As he was no longer on the boat,

the headwaiter took him by car back to the hotel.

He didn't know that I'd already returned.

He called his notary and told him to come at once.

Then he opened the drawer,

and found the gun.

And a moment later...

Oh it was horrible!

Instinctively I took the gun from his hand.

I didn't know what to do.

Then I saw the bill from the restaurant on the night table.

Right away I saw what was written.

I had time to hide the note just before the others arrived.

That's the truth.

If he commited suicide why didn't you say so before?

This is what Garris wrote down for his notary.

Read it and you'll understand.

"My dear Notary, love is like a war and as General Mireau once said:"

"To win the war one needs men, men, men."

"Therefore I'm leaving Olga use of my body also known as my corpse,"

"since in fact she's made good use of it for some time."

"Olga loves easily and is easy to love,"

"because she's young and beautiful."

"Therefore I feel it's pointless to leave her my money,"

"and revoke now the previous will that favoured her."

"Instead my assets will go to the State to offset,"

"all the taxes that, up to now, they've unsuccessfully tried to make me pay."

Any questions?

No...no.

Now do you understand the reason for my silence?

But you've cornered me,

and now I'll lose everything.

Satisfied?

But you're saved now,

and I'm happy to know you're innocent.

Hardly the words of a Public Prosecutor.

The Public Prosecutor has gone to bed.

You see before you only a man.

A man that loves you, Olga.

I'd always hoped to hear you say that.

When I'm free... - What?

Oh, what's the use?

Afterwards I'll only be a poor woman.

The State will take everything including my dreams.

What does the State know about dreams? They've never ever had any!

And my pearls...

Take them! Put them in a museum.

They're better off around that lovely neck.

Just leave them there.

What are you saying?

Taking the life of a man is very serious.

Taking money from the State is not so serious.

I'll reveal to the court about the suicide.

But I'll keep silent about this.

My beloved!

When it's all over we'll disappear from here.

I must have a villa somewhere on the French Riviera.

When you tell me you love me are you speaking as a woman or the accused?

Can't you feel that it's as a woman?

It's too good to be true.

Okay, you hold onto it.

That way I'm in your hands.

I'll keep it here.

But not here, there!

The part closest to the heart.

Waiter, the bill!

Right away!

Hey you!

Get me my fur. C'mon, move!

Poor thing, he'll spend his entire salary to pay the bill.

Weren't there four?

Here you are, sir.

Here you go. Keep the change. - Thank you, sir!

Pardon.

No, no. Love goes on this side, business on the other.

Take it out of his pocket. I'll show him.

It's in the left hand pocket.

Madame Dubovitch, I'm not your servant.

As long as I'm paying your salary, you'll do as I say.

Pay attention, it's in the left hand pocket.

Make sure you don't mess up!

Now where'd I put that sleeve? There it is.

I'm feeling very light. Oh, 'scuse me.

Go on ahead. We'll walk back.

- Goodbye and thank you! - Goodbye!

A new day! - Yes, the best day of my life.

I'm back to being 15 again! Let's run!

C'mon, give me kiss! - Can't you stop pestering me?

A kiss to go with the little candles. - Quiet, you'll blow them out!

A little kiss. - Please, get lost!

How can I do this? - Allow me.

Finally, some courtesy.

Thank you.

Cheers!

What a beautiful cake! - Splendid!

Best wishes! - Congratulations, Your Honour!

Happy Birthday! - Thank you.

One moment gentlemen. There's one more we should be celebrating.

Madame Olga!

Here I am. Coming.

I'm here. - Marvelous!

Congratulations!

Let's have a speech from His Honour!

Yes, a speech!

Madame, gentlemen.

On this occasion I feel doubly pleased and even moved.

Because it doesn't always happen that a judge has,

the good fortune to celebrate a verdict of innocence,

exactly on his birthday.

I'm grateful that you've given me this amazing opportunity.

Without you none of of this could have happened. Thank you.

The Defense has the floor.

Thank you Your Honour for those words. Too kind.

I'm pleased that the innocence of my client

resulted in a clear verdict.

However I can't understand how the Public Prosecutor

spent so much time trying to convince us.

I merely followed procedure.

No, I meant last night, all night,

a late night. - We had to establish the facts!

Dancing with the accused and returning at dawn?

I... - Enough, gentlemen.

How is it that you, her Defence Council, still refers to her as "The Accused?"

While for all of us here, that's in the past. -Yes, enough of these speeches!

Let's enjoy ourselves and blow out the candles. -Yes.

Look at that sea of candles! How old do I look?

I'm only 52.

Forgive me, Your Honour, I only put 50.

Turn off the light please. - Yes, right away.

Bravo!

~Happy Birthday to you..

~Happy Birthday to you..

~Happy Birthday Your Honour..

~Happy Birthday to you!

Uncork the bottle!

Therefore in accordance with

and with regard to articles 45, 46, and 281 of the criminal code,

this court declares the defendant acquitted of all charges.

Bravo!

And order her immediate release.

Over here Miss.

What will you do, Miss, with all your money?

Charity...I need so many things.

Plans for your future, Miss? -Marriage. -Thank you.

Have you booked the flight?

I'll join you later as we agreed.

Excuse me. Olga!

Your ticket to Nice. I have mine.

It'll be better to meet up on the plane.

My congratulations, Miss. - Thanks to you as well.

It's me that should be thanking you.

Now Anonymous Metals will skyrocket.

It's really a shame you told me to sell it all.

Who told you to sell it? Are you kidding?

Mister Poseyon, don't you remember? You phoned me.

And said to sell it even for a third of it's value.

And you..? -It was tough, but I managed to sell it all yesterday.

Woe is me! - Excuse me.

Smile Mr. Poseyon!

I can't! Go away! Leave me alone!

I will long remember the lovely time we spent together.

Your Honour.

Until later. - Not "until later"...goodbye.

Why not "until later?"

What is it?

A supoena! - Huh?

It's for you! - For me?

"Charged with offences in violation of articles 37, 48, and 95."

What do those articles refer to?

Poaching, firing a weapon in a public place, and cruelty to animals.

Oh My God! Counselor Alex! Counselor Alex!

Stewardess, do I give you my ticket? - Yes.

Excuse me, your hat.

Just leave it. That spot's taken. - But it's mine!

There's your flight. - Thank you.

I'll take you. Let me take your fur coat. - Thank you. So kind.

...for Rome, Nice, and Paris.

Excuse me! - I'm sorry but we have to get off!

Wait, let us off!

That's impossible, gentlemen, the plane is already moving.

We'll be flying at an altitude of 8000 meters

at a speed of 500 km/hr.

The lady's gone.

Please extinguish your cigarettes and fasten your seat belts.

Thank you.

But I've got the will.

The will?

Alone at last.

And rich.

It was reckless of you to come to the island.

I hadn't seen you in a long time.

Get mine. It's in my coat. The left hand pocket.

We don't need this will anymore.

Where is it? I can't find it.

That's the right hand pocket. I said the left.

The one near the heart.

Ah, here it is.

How stupid. I'm always mixing up my left from my right.
