The Pink Panther Page #3

There.

The Chinese VIP box,

right on the edge of the kill zone.

The poison was Chinese.

Was Gluant ever in China?

Three years ago, he took a group

of French stars there...

...for some exhibition games.

Gluant was in China...

...the poison is from China...

...the Chinese are from China.

It may be too early to say for certain,

but I think our killer is Chinese.

Corbeille, I want you

on the next flight to Beijing.

Find out what Gluant did there,

who he saw, where he went.

Pacquette, I want a dossier

on every Chinaman in that box.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Inspector, it's awfully late and...

Oh, I'm just going over

these crime-scene photos.

- Don't you need some rest?

- Crime does not rest, Nicole.

It's true.

You see...

...I have waited a long time

to prove myself.

And I've been given

the opportunity of a lifetime.

And I intend to show the world

exactly who I am...

...and what I can do.

I must not fail.

You won't. I know it.

Thank you, Nicole.

- Nicole?

- Yes?

May I be very frank with you?

Of course.

You have put on a ton of weight.

Now, what I do

when I get a little heavy...

Never mind.

Would you like me to stay behind

and help you?

That is a generous offer, Nicole...

...but I am quite sensitive

to office gender politics.

And in today's world,

the slightest gesture...

...can be misinterpreted

as harassment.

And it is late, and I would prefer

not to put you or me...

...into that delicate situation.

Agreed?

Yes, I agree.

Well, let's seal it with a kiss.

And I'll get back to work.

I am going to be frank.

Since you are only a detective,

second class...

...your senses may not be as sharp

as my own.

And as I do not want a partner

who makes me duller...

...I have come up with a plan

to keep you as sharp as possible.

And what is that?

Intermittently, and without warning,

I will attack you...

...whenever and wherever

it is least expected.

In this way, I will keep you

vigilant and alert. Agreed?

Yes.

- Good one.

- Thank you.

Here we are.

"Do not open door

when light is flashing."

Excuse me.

Coming through. Thank you.

And I'm wondering if you... Yes.

I'm wondering if you saw, perhaps,

a person yelling.

Stop! Stop, stop!

Who are you,

and what the hell are you doing?

- I'm in the middle of an interrogation.

- The booth is soundproof.

She can't hear a word.

And in case you haven't noticed...

...you ruined my recording session.

Now, get out.

Unless you want to be charged

with obstruction of justice...

...you will let me interrogate Xania.

It's all right, Roland.

Hello, inspector.

I'm Xania.

You do not know this, but I am

intimately familiar with your work.

You are very kind.
