thank you

the enigmatic shade of Louis owns can be

sensed behind the flamboyant front of

Notre Dame the Clary

it is often said that although he was a

great benefactor of many Cathedrals and

churches dedicate

speak English

don't daydream you must become educated

even if you are bored reading to an old

woman please I love reading to you I'll

get on with it then

it is often said that although he was a

great benefactor of many Cathedrals and

churches dedicated to the Saints this

was only in regions which helped

foreign

what is it now I thought I heard someone

oh nonsense but Mama I'm sure

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

I doubt if Matt was there is still

interested

well there's the ad

please be good enough to wait here at a

moment with you

ombre

foreign

there is something I should explain

go ahead

Musa Marcel is practically blind

she has led a sheltered contemplative

life

the tragedy was a terrible shock to her

well there would have been anyone to me

but myself is not just anyone

thank you Stefani

I didn't realize you spoke such good

English

but if I want to hire somebody why

should it be you

well I'm pretty good at this sort of

thing

you are very blunt with you

can you do better than the police

probably

anyway

if you were satisfied with the police

you wouldn't be advertising rewards

would you

you are right

they won't tell me anything

how long have you been blind since birth

but I'm not totally blind I can see some

light some dark yeah we all do that

thank you

thank me everyone for not ignoring what

is most obvious about me

are all Americans like you I hope not

oh they're all shapes and sizes just

like the friends then what is most

obvious about you I guess my gray hair

but you're young

how do you know

my mom always said I was very intuitive

is that your mother

adopted me

from an orphanage

because she was blind and

I am the way I am she made me her

daughter the jewels were her proudest

possessions

they had been in a family for years

a robber War them that the court of

Napoleon

you see money means little to me but I

would like to have them back because she

loved them

well I could give you the names of some

rather prominent people I've worked for

I guess you could ask them about me

confidentially

and what would they say that you can

trust me

and how much would this trust cost 350 a

week plus expenses plus a pretty good

bonus for anything I recover

they should approach on The Tiara and

Mama wearing them

is insurance form there

yes

and according to it the brooch was

insured but not the TR

uth said it was price

[Music]

now you have no idea who stole these no

well maybe you were sitting remember

something else now he wore stocking

masks I saw him only for an instant in

the Darkness

it's too bad indeed and will I be seeing

you again yep

[Music]

according to the insurance records you

made evaluation of that about 10 years

ago that's not quite correct and so it

was a revaluation and only of The Broach

none of this the Diamond Tiara no miss

you

[Music]

[Music]

his name is Maurice he's one of my men

we make this completely official

Inspector General

[Music]

any objections to that

in principle I could not care less

but in particular

do not work for Menzel marceloba

why not

his stepmother was murdered only three

weeks ago we are still actively pursuing

the matter

I'm only interested in the jewels

you are experienced you know they must

be broken up by now

I don't know

your heirlooms they have historic value

there's a good chance that they're still

in one piece

field is too big for you miss you you

have no chance

what are you worried about

you will get in my way

a little tiptoe

find some other work

[Music]

Loris will continue to follow you

[Music]

finally gonna tell him to tiptoe too

machine no matter how loudly you may

Shout

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

listen I'd like you to do me a favor

yeah

doctor for you just walk down there and

come back

foreign

good evening I miss you Maggie I'm the

devil are you

I am irritable

really for you

I gave your friend a few Franks and told

him to wait downstairs

that's where you're going to be oh just

a moment

first we have a little talk

you do talk Mr McGill

don't you

oh

was killed

she was truly mourned by two people I

was one of them I was their closest

friend

I'm also the nearest thing to a relative

guardian of marcelobar so

you're here to protect her interests no

no I have come to see you what do you

see a cognac

evapority

there's a glass

Mercy

no no I see a man who has taken a job

from a blind girl

a girl without any experience without

any I just answered an ad

it was placed without my knowledge

and reward was announced in every

newspaper in Paris a reward for

information have you any

and then there is nothing to say

right

look don't worry about it I'll earn my

money oh you admit that what you want

from Marcel is money

yeah and all she wants from me those

heirlooms

unfortunately she's unable to pay you my

signature is required on all her checks

well you have to take that up there you

look very foolish when you're unable to

collect your feet

I'll collect it I assure you that

three weeks ago I was at the conference

at the American Embassy and I had a call

from banar

you know banar I met him

my old friend was dead police everywhere

Marcel

quiet silent as Stone

for a moment I thought that she had lost

her mind

I went to her I whispered to her

when she called oh Curry Uncle Henry

Marcel

has been brought up

in that awful house alone with an

invalid

the first nine years of her life in an

orphanage were hell and the rest was

limbo

she's the same time the most innocent

and the most

experienced creature alive

I do not know what your life has been I

shall find out of course

but whatever you are whatever you may

have done

if you have any Humanity in you

you will not harm that girl I don't

intend to hurt her

then shall we say

I give you 500 American dollars if you

leave Paris now

one thousand dollars

you are asking me to leave

because you are angry

because I am getting dangerously near

your price

my price is 350 a week less expenses and

I'm working this week

[Music]

and you understand what I want it will

be expensive no it won't lay on it's

just a little information I'll do my

best I'm sure you will by the way

your friend is still outside he's very

patient his name's Maurice works in the

narcotics Squad you're not involved with

drugs are you

not I don't know room 27 at the back

it's empty you could step out of the

window down the fire escape underway

well I may take you up on that later

[Music]

burning friend

foreign

[Music]

yes yes this is mad more than Marcel

oh no no I couldn't do that I never go

out by myself except

why yes I'd like to of course but I

am right if you say so

foreign

you look great

so do you

wish I could order the warmer day

this is lovely

I hear children playing ball

yeah

Mama didn't like me to go out

around the garden at home yes but in the

city never

why not

I am as I am she couldn't go out so I

stayed with her

do you want to do that I had my lessons

French English I've learned Braille

I read to her

she always said we didn't need the

outside

and then

once a month

Etienne would drive me to a concert

that was exciting

something to look forward to

thank you

why don't you ask me to come here today

because I'd like to talk to you alone

like to ask you a few questions

there's a bench about two steps back

do you know a man named Anna

he is a policeman he talked to me that

night

my most dearest friend and mine

you know he wants me to stay away from

you he's probably afraid you will take

advantage of me in some way

are you afraid of that

I'm not experienced in the world

well you're doing pretty well

when Mama took me in

I have never had a friend I could hardly

speak

I could not ever remember being hugged

into arms even when she punished me for

being stupid or slow-witted or

disobedient

even then it was ever and you were

reading to her that night yes and then I

heard the footsteps

told you

but you didn't recognize him

you think because I'm blind I can

remember footsteps like you remember

faces you're right

you think you'd recognize him if you

heard him again

whenever anybody comes up those stairs

now

whether I could remember

I don't know

Stefan was unconscious

the maid was

out or LED

it was her day off yeah

did your stepmother wear that brooch and

tiara often oh yes I mean when she

dressed for dinner

she entertained much

except for Uncle hungry

what is it called

the the aftershave lotion you use

had a good news

yes

never seen it

listen would you care to go to a concert

with me one evening

more like parties for blind people with

chamber music and gifts for everybody

financed it all even though she could

not go herself but myself

it's very late just a moment Stephen

I am continuing with the concerts mama

would have wished

the first since she died will be next

Thursday night

would you like to come you forget

Mademoiselle that the concerts are only

for the blind I am the host of Stefan I

can make an exception

from Sue McGill an exception I love you

well I'll see you then as well

[Music]

I can tell you nothing about the brooch

well sometimes no news is good news what

about the tiara it's a romanticity out

of that design was broken up sold to an

acquaintance of a friend of mine years

ago

how many years ago where 1956 in Paris

hmm

[Music]

foreign

yes that's the lady mother of Francesca

modeling

too long

wait a second wait a second

does she have an ancestor in the court

of Napoleon the first

I ask myself again how can I be certain

that the police wished me to reveal to

you information that I supplied to them

what else would I have found you well

perhaps you awaken every expert in Paris

before coming here to make me sleepless

I wouldn't have taken very long why not

wait until morning when I can telephone

inspector Banner

I'm sure you have my check

the water certain books and a certain

Tiara that let us say the Napoleon's

that's right yes or no my name is

delacroix but I'm not related to the

great painter the name of Waba has even

less claim to fame there was no rabba of

any consequence to the court of Napoleon

then there were no robot Islands no

Jewels perhaps but heirlooms

hmm

well I'm indebted to you well not if

they're Bank owners you'll check myself

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

thanks a lot Maurice

you have a good memory for names I'll

never forget yours you're under arrest

what do you mean I'm under arrest

[Music]

about 12 hours to find out that that

Tiara was broken up years ago it took me

12 minutes it's going to take me a lot

longer now to believe that that old lady

was killed for a face copy of a tiara

and an heirloom there's no heirloom that

is not your problem

why haven't you told Marcel what you

found out why haven't you I will as soon

as I get out of here and spoil her

Illusions about her stepmother

maybe that's what she needs a little

truth

truth

you know what I have in here

lunch

a confidential report concerning you

confidentially I don't care but I will

maybe so I'm going to tell her who you

are and what you are

good for you

I want you out of this case and out of

my sight permanently

that is official

do you hear me

I hear you then get out

bless you

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

yes

but I was expecting you

my mom tried to teach me about people

and about business I should have

listened to her more carefully

inspector Bernard has just phoned

Bernard's a liar

what are you what do you think

Bernard told me what you are an American

official who betrayed his country a

traitor and now

a bounty hunter a man who lives by

violence will do anything for money no I

won't do anything for money oh why won't

you admit it I work for money yes

everybody does there's nothing wrong

with that but I'm no traitor you'll get

your money this

I can still help you not another suit

what are you so angry for

you convinced me to hire you

there were no heirlooms but I just found

that out oh and did you come straight to

me and tell me that you could not earn

your salary because you could not find

that which did not exist no because

Bernard kept me oh of course but now he

stopped you he stopped you but now I

stopped you from telling me the truth

Bernard stopped you

my mother lied no precious heirlooms but

she wore them every night they weren't

what she said they were

she told you some romantic story about

Napoleon

she told me more

the word she said is a darker place than

you could ever see

black with with betrayal and lies and

deceit

stay here you said in this quiet room in

this warm place and read to me and to

yourself and be content

and you will have all the good the world

has to give

I haven't betrayed you

you are going to prove that the world

isn't what mama said

not all hate and deceit not a reward if

you're good and a beating if you're bad

not not a hand which which leads you in

the dark and then let you go

oh go go go away you'll get your man

[Music]

I don't need you

[Music]

but now I thought there's such terrible

things about you

a little quiet evening together

and we speak English just as you used to

do with your Dear Mama I'm sorry to be

so so silly

but you stepped sounded sounded so like

those others I know a nightmare I tell

you what I get you into something no no

no no no I'm all right now I insist

Uncle hungry

I know why you came tonight

you brought the presents for the concert

as you always do

correct

absolutely

we will carry on just as you used to do

with your Dear Mama

every month you will give a concept for

your blind friends

and you will continue to give them

presents

the tradition must be maintained

we start

with the tobacco the tobacco

the tobacco is for who

that was always a secret

I know but if we are to continue then it

must now be our secret all right

the tobacco is

smoke a pipe of course not it is for a

husband

now the the big box of coffee cream

this one

yes this is for madame coffee

found you

madam

bath salts

she's upstairs yes

thanks

don't make any more telephone calls

Stephen

there are no calls I wish to make this

year

it's me Marcia oh again how nice

come in

you've met my uncle oritibo yes how are

you

I'm surprised

I did not know you were calling Madness

by her first name I'm very faster Henry

you gotta watch me

would you like a drink please yes tell

me

I hope you two will be nice to each

other I

I am always prepared to behave in a

civilized manner

thank you

have you finished wrapping these gifts

for the concert

carrying on the old tradition as you

might say

I've told McGill about the concert and

about the presence and Dear Mama and you

laugh very nicely yes they feel good

you really know what's in every one of

these

of course I do

presents are important to people Mr

McGill everyone appreciates the present

because it says somewhere another human

being is thinking of him

that's very nice Mercy

listen I'd like to talk to you alone for

a second

if Uncle Henry wouldn't mind not all of

course not so thank you

uh don't run off I'll go in there we

have to have a long talk

but I don't want to go to my room just

for a little while while I sell things

with Uncle Henry

things

please

this is still in my house and you're

still learning about people remember

see perhaps then I'd understand

trust me

should regret the missile inspector

message

you want a little discussion

let's call it a medium-sized discussion

and then along what lines

to begin with if we open each one of

these little packages to what purpose

well instead of talcum powder or bath

salts

what kind of drug do you think we'd find

in there cocaine heroin it's an

interesting fantasy that's not so

fantastic Uncle Henry an old lady killed

for some jewels that don't exist and a

policeman from the narcotic Squad

hanging around in a concert once each

month where little gifts are distributed

to innocent blind people enough of

fantasy Magill I'm quite sure we can

settle this in a civilized way I hope so

a man with your record

shouldn't be too upset

what do you say

ten thousand dollars I wouldn't even

cover the drugs unless the old lady what

about her murder comes pretty high

nowadays and we both know she wasn't

killed for the jewels don't we

killing her was a blessing to the world

especially to Marcel I think you'd have

a pretty rough time convincing her that

her blind spot

so the old girl masterminded the dope

ring why should I deny it

foreign

with the capital from the sale of the

original Jewels The Tiara in 1956 right

you know Miguel you're really very good

so

you pass the stuff down to her

and she distributed it all over France a

very big deal I'll show you

and unfortunately for her she didn't let

you in on the distribution big money

foreign

oh yes

oh yes I I know now

Marcel of course

it's completely innocent she used to

type the labels as she was instructed by

her mother in Braille of course

so while the old lady was in the way I

could not know for whom they were

intended

so now you control the whole Enterprise

one advances in the world

so shall we say

ten thousand dollars you agree wait a

minute Uncle Henry

you didn't kill the old lady

as your Embassy Alibi checked out so

who'd you have killer

same people you arranged to take pot

shots at me did it really matter

let us say I have a new business

associate someone with interesting

connection who would that be too much

knowledge is a dangerous thing

I'm sure we can settle this over a

little drink

so you do not agree

get your stuff

oh

so you wish to go to the police

that's right

as you wish

I know first Uncle Henry Marcel's in the

Next Room

Michelle McGill

you do believe that I care for Marcel

don't you yeah

strangely enough I do

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

thank you

upstairs

kill the old lady

so he says

Marcel it'll be all right just go back

to your room

foreign

I belong here you don't belong here in

the dark my mom was killed by angry and

Pana

over it's past

the concert is now this afternoon

my innocent concert

where once a month I gave poor dear old

Mr Brown a present of bath salts

only he wasn't blind

and the bath salts were drugs even the

concert betrayed me No it didn't

and all your friends would be there and

they haven't betrayed you it won't go on

yes it will

those concerts will go on

birth and death

just look for what light there is

no safer here you never have been and

you never will be

yourself
