Inspector Jacques Clouseau.

Inspector.

Inspector.

- Yes?

- Yes, what's your initial premise?

That Gluant did not

want to be killed.

Everything else follows

like liquid mercury...

...flowing down a... A...

A sloping thing.

How long do you think

it will take to find the killer?

Right now the killer is being

surrounded by a web of deduction...

...forensic science

and the latest in technology...

...such as two-way radios

and e-mail.

Assign a man to be his driver who can

report on his whereabouts at all times.

What kind of man?

A man who follows orders

and doesn't ask questions.

Inspector, do you know if the killer

was a man or a woman?

Well, of course I know that.

What else is there? A kitten?

Excuse me,

do you think it's possible...

...that the killer could be

watching you now?

Well, if I was a killer,

I would certainly be watching...

...and possibly taping

for later playback...

...because, you know, it's a big deal

to be talked about on TV.

But I have a message for the killer:

There is no place you can hide.

There is no place

you cannot be seen.

Killer, I will find you...

... because I am

a servant of the nation.

Because justice is justice...

... and because France is France.

- Bonjour, Nicole.

- Good morning, inspector.

Welcome to your new office.

You should probably start

by going through these files.

It is lovely weather we are having.

I hope the weather...

...stays this mild.

If the weather continues...

...we are in for a lovely summer.

The area is secure.

- Are you all right?

- Well, of course I'm all right.

And what is that?

- What?

- Nothing.

You should probably start

by looking at these files. You have to...

My leg, it crushed my leg!

Being an inspector,

you'll need some new clothes.

I can take your measurements

and have something sent over.

- Of course.

- Please remove your jacket.

Yes.

- Do you live by yourself, inspector?

- Yes, I do.

Do you get lonely?

No, not really.

Not since the Internet.

Well, that takes care of that.

And welcome to Paris.

Thank you.

Good morning, monsieur.

And you are?

Gilbert Ponton.

Detective, second class.

I've been assigned to work with you.

What qualifications do you have

for police work?

My family's done police work

in Paris for nine generations.

- And before that?

- We were policemen for 200 years.

- And before that?

- Immigrants from countries in Europe.

- All involved in police work.

- And before that?

Farmers.

So you are a little lamb who has

come to Clouseau for to learn.

Gilbert Ponton, I vow to teach you

everything I know about police work.

And together...

...we are going to catch a killer.
