from the international press,

American press,

French press, etc.

Nothing new there

But, I have found something else

Here, take a look

This is interesting

The last photograph of

David Hoffman

accompanied by a

close friend. Look.

- Shirley? - Shirley.

- She is Ben's sister.

Shirley? She's Ben's sister?

But I have my doubts

And Ben has left to find her.

So they are all tied together.

Elisabeth, Ben, Shirley...

In any case, Ben, Shirley and David.

Elisabeth i'm not sure.

She has disappeared,

and we don't know anything.

It's possible.

Can you help me?

- For Elisabeth?

- Yes, can you do something?

Sure, I've got an idea

I must contact someone

I know who...

But before I start,

I need to ask you something, Lo.

- Do you trust me?

- I don't have to money, so...

It's not that

Lo, do you truly trust me?

Ah... too bad.

My things are at the hotel.

Yes, I will send a driver to get them.

Theres something else:

You have the

same hands as your father.

Well, lets go.

Sorry, I was a little behind schedule

Well. Good, 24.

Counselor Novick is indisposed

and asked me to assist you.

Who told you that Elisabeth is here?

We recieived an anonymous

telephone call.

A disguised voice, a woman's

voice, that said:

"She's being held at 24 St Marc Street".

Don't worry

I am prepared, in case there are complications

Eli?

She's here.

Wait for me.

Yes.

Stop!

There. Hold her still,

Miss Hoffman.

Ah, it opens in reverse

Are you alright?

When I entered the room,

there was a man, seated behind a desk, alone.

and he watched me with a fixed gaze

I approached

and then I sat in front of him.

Not a word was spoken

And then Shirley entered

Because in fact, it was Shirley

who organized it all

Because, when I had a suspicion,

I confided to her about it

She had... a little after I called her...

then I lent the house, and then...

Anyways, back inside the room,

He started to speak

He had a muffled voice, very strange,

I didn't understand what he said.

It was indecipherable

Then I looked at his hands,

he had his hands resting on the desk.

- Then he was doing this. You know?

- David.

So I watched

and he gave me a sardonic smile.

Then he said to me:

'My little dear...'.

It was exactly like papa's voice,

I recognized it immediately.

But with another face.

Do you understand?

I was afraid.

I wanted to call out, to scream.

But someone put their

hands over my mouth

- Shirley? - No I don't believe so.

I didn't see Shirley.

Then they dragged me,

and loaded me into the van

and they gave me cloroform

and I fell asleep.

Then I woke up here

in this strange place.

Now I know what you were talking about.
