Do you know where he is?
He told me to wait here.
He would meet me
after he had dinner with you.
Yes, he was supposed to, but he didn't.
Perhaps he's still at the American legation.
I have been to the legation. No one is there.
Well, so many last minute things to do.
I understand you're both
leaving for America very soon.
Well, he can't be much longer.
Come upstairs and wait.
I can wait here.
There's nothing improper about it.
I'm sure he would approve.
I will wait here.
Of course, there's always the chance
that he might be at the river front
watching the American supplies unload.
Perhaps.
Well, some of them might be his.
Now he's going home,
he'll want to make sure
that they fall into the right hands.
- What did you tell them?
If he should return while I'm gone.
What's all the chatter and giggling about?
They think I have come back to you.
- Mr. Fowler?
- I'm Fowler.
My eyes are no longer young.
Can you identify her for me?
Mine are no younger than yours.
You know who it is.
They wouldn't let her come in with me.
There are those who complain
about being kept in,
and those who protest at being kept out.
In the search for justice,
one becomes depressed
at the unpopularity of the pursuant.
You can't have brought me here at 1 :00
in the morning to ease your depression.
How long have you been with her tonight?
I found her outside my flat a short time ago.
- She was waiting for someone.
- Who?
Why don't you ask her?
Where had she been before that?
I'm prepared to answer questions
only about myself.
I'm not an informant.
Uh, (CLEARS THROAT) at 6:00,
you had a drink at the Continental.
The waiters remember.
At 7:
30, you walked with a colleague.The correspondent of The New York Times,
obviously a man of high character,
to the Majestic Hotel. He remembers.
Then you hired a cyclo-pousse.
The driver remembers.
And arrived at the Vieux Moulin
restaurant about 8:20.
You had dinner by yourself,
you left about a quarter to 10:00.
Several old ladies remember
that you arrived at your home about 10:00.
And that you did not come out
Vigot, it's far too late
and I'm much too weary to play at charades.
What do you want?
-- Entrez.
Merci.
Sugar?
No.
At the restaurant,
you were impatient about the, uh,
waiter's slowness in bringing the bill.
- Yes, I had a 10:00 appointment at my flat.
- With whom?
That should be none of your business.
Sanctity of the press.
Well, of course.
You could withdraw my card of identity
and bar me from news conferences.
The country at war,
it is not easy to maintain legality, you know.
I do my best.
Well, at 10:
00, I was expectingHe'd sent a message late in the afternoon.
He wants to see me
about something important.
Have you any idea what?
Everything is important
to this young American
but he didn't show up.
Hmm.
And, uh, when you found her
outside your flat,
she was waiting for the...
The same young American?
Is it true what one hears that they were,
how do you say,
sweethearts,
and they were going to be married?
They are going to be married
as far as I know.
Yes.
Yet, up to no more than a month ago,
forgive the indelicacy of a policeman,
the same young lady
That, I must insist, is none of your business.
For more than two years,
up to a month ago,
the deep mutual devotion of this
young lady and you was very well known.
Mr. Fowler, what do you know
about the young American?
