我国政府要求立即把他送回船上。 Our government insists that he be returned to the ship immediately.
你是说又有一名俄国水手叛逃了？ You mean that another Russian seaman has defected?

听着，艾勒里——当时是我 Now, look, Ellery -- I was the one
被抓到从凶案现场跑出来。 who was caught running from the scene of the murder.
我爸不认为是你杀了亚历克·尼文上校。 My dad does not think you killed Colonel Alec Nivin.
他几乎是唯一这么想的人。 He's about the only one.
我也不这么认为，珍妮。 Neither do I, Jenny.
[ 电话铃响 ] [ Telephone ringing ]
喂？ Hello?
哦，嗨，维利。 Oh, hi, Velie.
不，他还在睡。 No, he's still sleeping.
你查到什么了？ You found out what?
真的吗？ Is that right?
嗯——哦，当然，我会告诉他的。 Yeah -- oh, sure I'll tell him.
-你想知道，对吧？-当然。 -You want to know, don't you? -Sure.
那是实验室报告。 That was the lab report.
在尼文的匕首上发现的唯一指纹 The only fingerprints found on Nivin's dagger
只有尼文的和那个印度人的。 were Nivin's and the Indian's.
那就是印度人杀了他——我就这么想的。 Then the Indian killed him -- that's just what I thought.
不，不一定。 No, not necessarily.
那印度人负责打扫尼文的房间。 The Indian cleaned Nivin's room.
他很可能碰过匕首，留下了指纹。 He probably touched the dagger and left his fingerprints on it.
让我在意的是，多布伦斯科夫夫人的指纹为什么 What concerns me is why Mrs. Dobrenskov's prints
不在刀上。 weren't on the knife.
她可能戴着手套行凶。 She could have killed him with her glove on.
不，这说不通。那是一只右手手套。 No, it doesn't add up. That was a right-handed glove.
-她是右撇子吗？-是的，她是右撇子。 -Is she right-handed? -Yes, she is right-handed.
昨晚我看到她用右手点烟。 I saw her light a cigarette last night with her right hand.
对，她是右撇子。 Yes, she is right-handed.
如果她没戴手套， Now, if the glove was off,
就会在刀上留下指纹。 she would have left fingerprints on the knife.
但如果她戴着手套刺了他， But if she stabbed him with the glove on,
就不合常理， it doesn't stand to reason
她还会把手套脱下来 that she would have taken the glove off
塞进坐垫里。 and stuffed it in the cushion.
除非她是为了误导你才这么做。 Unless she did it to throw you off the track.
好吧，我得去见马塞尔·富尔谢。 Well, I have to go see Marcel Fourchet.
我跟你一起去。 I'm going with you.
不行，你不去。这可能很危险。 No, you are not. This could be dangerous.
你不许跟我去，就这么定了——就这么定！ You're not going with me, and that is that -- is that!
[ 敲门声 ] [ Knocking on door ]
[ 呻吟 ] [ Groans ]
-马塞尔·富尔谢？-嗯？ -Marcel Fourchet? -Hmm?
我叫艾勒里·奎因。这位是奥布莱恩小姐。 My name is Ellery Queen. This is Miss O'Brien.
我们想和你谈谈。 We'd like to talk with you.
二位真是郎才女貌，但抱歉， Mes amis, you're a lovely couple, but I'm sorry.
我不再拍婚纱照了。 I no longer take wedding portraits.
也许我可以推荐别人。 Perhaps I could recommend someone.
不，你误会了。 No, see, you misunderstand.
我们在调查亚历克·尼文上校的死亡。 We're investigating the death of Colonel Alec Nivin.
我们能进去吗？ May we come in?
-当然。-谢谢。 -Of course. -Thank you.
[ 清嗓子 ] [ Clears throat ]
可我恐怕连这个—— But I'm afraid I don't even know this --
你说他叫什么——尼文？ what did you say his name is -- Nivin?
我相信你曾经 I believe you were
在战争期间加入过自由法国地下组织。 in the Free French Underground during the war.
是的，很多勇敢的法国人也是。 Yes, and so were many other brave Frenchmen.
那些活下来、没有被朋友出卖的人。 Those that survived, those that weren't betrayed by their friends.
我不知道你在说什么。 I don't know what you're talking about.
富尔谢先生，我们读过尼文上校的私人档案。 We read Colonel Nivin's personal files, Mr. Fourchet.
恐怕你已经露出马脚了。 I'm afraid you've already given yourself away.
你把书签夹在尼文威胁要揭发你的那一页。 You put a bookmark right in the spot where Nivin threatens to expose you.
[ 猛地呼出一口气 ] [ Exhales sharply ]
我以为那些事都已经彻底过去了。 I thought all that was safely behind me.
我知道尼文怎么想，但奎因先生，你一定要相信我。 I know what Nivin thought, but you must believe me, Mr. Queen.
那是一场噩梦——盖世太保。 It was a nightmare -- the Gestapo.
一旦被他们抓住，就根本无法抵抗。 Once they captured you, there was no way to resist them.
他们做的那些事——那——我——我身上至今还有伤疤。 The things they did -- it -- I -- I still bear the scars.
我撑了三天，但最后…… I held out for three days, but in the end...
那你的朋友们呢？ And your friends?
啊。 Ah.
我们以前常拿氰化物胶囊开玩笑。 We used to laugh, all of us, about the cyanide capsules.
氰化物胶囊？ Cyanide capsules?
用来自尽，防止你开口。 To kill yourself, keep you from talking.
我真希望当时我也有一颗。 I wish to God I had had one.
死亡并不可怕。 Death did not frighten me.
死亡反倒像个解脱痛苦的老友。 Death would have been a welcome friend.
富尔谢先生，抱歉，但我必须问你关于尼文上校的事。 Mr. Fourchet, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you about Colonel Nivin.
昨天五点你在哪里？ Where were you yesterday at 5:00?
我在波士顿……为《生活》杂志出差。 I was in Boston... on assignment for Life magazine.
码头工人罢工——也许你看过我的作品。 The longshoremen's strike -- perhaps you've seen my work.
看过。你在那儿待了多久？ Yes. How long were you there?
两天。我昨晚才回来。 Two days. I returned only last evening.
倒挺巧。 Pretty convenient.
我冲洗最后一卷胶卷耽搁了—— I was delayed developing my last roll of film --
就是你手里那组照片，奎因先生。 actually, the group of photos you have there, Mr. Queen.
我的航班在午夜前不久到的。 My flight arrived just before midnight.
有人能证明你坐的是那趟航班吗？ Can anyone verify you came in on that flight?
有。 Yeah.
我能。 I can.
啊…… Ah...
[ 清嗓子 ] [ Clears throat ]
富尔谢夫人？ Mrs. Fourchet?
没门，亲爱的。 Not a chance, honey.
我来介绍一下格伦达·邓拉普小姐，我的秘书—— May I present Miss Glenda Dunlap, my secretary --
其实也是我的未婚妻。 actually, my fiancée.
我给你拿点衣服穿上。 Let me get you something to put on.
呃，邓拉普小姐，你和富尔谢先生一起出行了吗？ Uh, Miss Dunlap, were you traveling with Mr. Fourchet?
想都别想。我哪儿也去不了。 Not a chance. I never get to go anywhere.
哦，我得去拉瓜迪亚机场接他的飞机。【注：拉瓜迪亚机场（LaGuardia），纽约市主要民航机场之一】 Oh, I got to meet his plane at LaGuardia.
他大约九点给我打电话，说他会晚到， He calls me around 9:00 and tells me he's coming in late,
要我去接他。 wants me to meet him.
那你去了？ And did you?
当然，为什么不去？ Sure, why not?
听着——如果你想问的是这个：我亲眼看到他下飞机。 Look -- I saw him get off the plane, if that's what you're getting at.
是，是，是，是。非常感谢。 Yes, yes, yes, yes. Thank you very much.
-走吧，艾勒里。-好，我们走。 -Let's go, Ellery. -Yes. We will.
拍得真不错，富尔谢先生。 Nice work, Mr. Fourchet.
下周就会刊登。 That will be in next week's edition.
其实我得赶紧把这些送给编辑。 Actually, I must hurry and get them to my editor.
祝你们好运。 Good luck.
很高兴认识你，邓拉普小姐。 Nice meeting you, Miss Dunlap.
嗯，行。 Yeah, sure.
哦，艾勒里，我太尴尬了—— Oh, Ellery, I am so embarrassed --
先说那个可怜的人是骗子，又说那个女孩。 calling that poor man a liar, and then that girl.
好吧，我吸取教训了—— Well, I have learned my lesson --
从现在起全听你的。 from now on, it's completely up to you.
可我以为是你—— But I thought that you were the one --
我就是不适合干侦探这行。 I'm just not cut out for detective business.
我还是守着剪报本，别再学托奇·布莱恩充当出头鸟了。【注：托奇·布莱恩（Torchy Blane），1930年代系列电影里的女记者侦探形象，常被用来指爱插手破案的女记者】 I'm gonna stick to my press clippings and stop playing Torchy Blane.
-我送你一程？-哦，不用，没关系。 -Could I drop you off? -Oh, no, that's all right.
-你先走吧。我走路。-你确定？ -You go on ahead. I'll walk. -You sure?
-真的。-好。 -Really. -Okay.
-晚点给我电话！-会的！ -Call me later! -I will!
出租车！ Taxi!
直走。 Straight ahead.
[ 引擎发动 ] [ Engine turns over]
喂，快——跟上那辆出租车。 Hey. Quick -- follow that cab.
需要帮忙吗？ May I help you?
不用，谢谢。我随便看看。 No, thank you. I'm just looking.
把这个记到我们账上。 Just add this to our account.
当然，夫人。 Of course, Madam.
停下。 Stop.
你其实是左撇子，对吧？ You're really left-handed, aren't you?
用右手写点东西。我看你敢不敢！ Write something with your right hand. I dare you!
-对不起，可是——-你看吧？ -I'm sorry, but-- -You see?
果然如我所料——你一直都是左撇子。 Just as I thought -- you were left-handed all along.
拜托——我不明白。 Please -- I don't understand.
喂！别推我，小子！ Hey! Don't push me, buster!
请问——这里怎么回事？ Please -- what's the problem here?
把你的手拿开！ Get your hands off me!
尼古拉，住手。 Nikolai, stop it.
扰乱治安、袭击、殴打、拒捕。 Disturbing the peace, assault, battery, resisting arrest.
埃勒里，她是你的朋友，不是我的。 Ellery, she's your friend, not mine.
-我只是想帮忙。-她只是想帮忙。 -I was just trying to help. -She was just trying to help.
这案子把我折腾得够呛，我都睡不着觉了。 The problems I got on this case. I'm losing sleep.
你知道我今天早上几点起的吗？ Do you know what time I got up this morning?
有个疯婆子一直按着门铃不放。 Some screwball dame was leaning on the buzzer.
-那是我。-我知道是她。 -That was me. -I know it was her.
-埃勒里，埃勒里，这全是你的错。-我的错？ -Ellery, Ellery, it's all your fault. -My fault?
你早该告诉我。 You should have told me
多布伦斯科夫太太确实是右撇子。 Mrs. Dobrenskov really is right-handed.
我说了——手套那事。 I did -- the glove.
埃勒里，这事我交给你负责—— Ellery, I'm making it your responsibility --
别让她插手这个案子。 keep her out of this case.
看看这只鞋——5.98美元， Look at this shoe -- $5.98,
可你父亲还认为是我杀了尼文上校。 and your father still thinks that I killed Colonel Nivin.
那算不了什么。我随时都能把鞋修好。 That's the least of our worries. I can always fix the shoe.
埃勒里，你能不能告诉奥布莱恩小姐， Ellery, will you please tell Miss O'Brien
我并不认为是她杀了尼文上校？ that I do not think she killed Colonel Nivin?
把他逼疯了，没错；但捅死他，没有。 Drove him nuts, yes, but stabbed him, no.
我父亲不认为你杀了尼文上校。 My father does not think you killed Colonel Nivin.
-探长，打扰一下。-嗯，维利？ -Inspector, excuse me. -Yeah, Velie?
大师，关于那个富尔谢——你让我去查他。 Maestro, about that Fourchet guy -- you asked me to check him out.
富尔谢？富尔谢是谁？ Fourchet? Who's Fourchet?
尼文书里的一个人物。我们今天早些时候去见过他。 One of the characters in Nivin's book. We went to see him earlier today.
-啊？你们自己去的？-你那会儿在睡觉。 -Huh? On your own? -Well, you were sleeping.
睡觉？我没睡！ Sleeping? I was not sleeping!
行了，维利，你查到什么了， All right, Velie, what do you got
关于一个我连听都没听过的嫌疑人？ on a suspect I haven't even heard of?
我们找到了把富尔谢和他女友 Well, we found the cabby that brought Fourchet and his girlfriend
从机场送回来的出租车司机。 back from the airport.
我还查了电话公司的记录， And I checked the phone-company records,
富尔谢确实在8:43从波士顿打了个对方付费电话给他女友。 and Fourchet did call his girlfriend collect from Boston at 8:43.
哦，那可真是太好了。 Oh, well, that's just wonderful.
现在我们不用担心一个我连面都没见过的嫌疑人了。 Now we don't have to worry about a suspect I haven't even met.
司机认出了富尔谢的照片？ The cabby identified Fourchet's photo?
-对，大师。-那女的呢？是格伦达吗？ -Right, Maestro. -What about the girl? Was it Glenda?
我没有她的照片，但我发现了别的东西。 I didn't have her picture, but I did find something else.
我们把那个印度人的指纹送去刑侦比对了。 We ran that Indian guy's fingerprints through Criminal Investigation.
然后呢？ And?
探长，你看看这个。 Take a gander at that, Inspector.
哟，哟，哟。 Well, well, well.
啊，下午好，探长。真是意外的惊喜。 Ah, good afternoon, Inspector. What an unexpected surprise.
我能为您效劳什么？ How may I serve you?
你先收起那套鬼话吧，卡利尔。【注：baloney：美式口语，意为“胡扯/鬼话”】【注：此处Kaleel为其自称姓名】 You can start by cutting the baloney, Kaleel,
或者不管你自称什么。 or whatever it is you call yourself.
先生？ Sir?
根据这份案底，你的真名是巴尼·格罗夫斯，【注：rap sheet：警方对个人犯罪记录的俗称】 According to this rap sheet, your name is Barney Groves,
而且你那一长串诈骗前科，简直罄竹难书。【注：bunco：美式口语，指骗局/诈骗】 and you've got a bunco record as long as my arm.
你身上有猫腻我早就觉得， I knew there was something fishy about you
从你指控我杀了尼文上校那一刻起。 when you accused me of Colonel Nivin's murder.
也许你该开始跟我们说实话了。 Maybe it's about time you started telling us the truth.
这边请。 This way, please.
呃，听我说——我不是想隐瞒什么。 Uh, look, |-I wasn't trying to hide anything.
我只是不想惹麻烦，你懂吧？ I just didn't want any trouble, you know?
除非你想把事情搞到你扛不住， Unless you want more than you can handle,
不然你最好把一切都说出来。 you better tell us everything.
你是我们目前最像样的嫌疑人。 You're the best suspect we got.
-战争期间你在巴黎吗？-不，在安齐奥、卡西诺。【注：安齐奥（Anzio）、卡西诺（Cassino）：二战意大利战场的重要战役/地点】 -Were you in Paris during the war? -No. Anzio, Casino.
我还拿过银星勋章，可你知道，我连罗马都没打进去。【注：银星勋章（Silver Star），美国军方授予的英勇勋章之一】 I even got a silver star, but I never got past Rome, you know?
我们会核实的。 We'll check that out.
那么，案发当天下午，你还看见别的什么吗？ Now, the afternoon of the murder, did you see anything else?
就一个俄罗斯女人。 Well, only this Russian dame.
上校有时会在自己房间招待女士。 The Colonel sometimes entertains ladies in his rooms.
按俱乐部规定这是严禁的， I mean, it's strictly against the club rules,
但你知道，上校会塞给我几块钱， but, well, you know, the Colonel slips me a couple of bucks,
我就睁一只眼闭一只眼。 and I look the other way.
-免得难堪……-对。 -So as not to embarrass... -Right.
总之，我以为那俄罗斯女人还跟他在一起，你知道吧？ Anyway, I thought this Russian dame was still with him, you know?
所以我就溜之大吉了。 And so I just made myself scarce.
也就是说，你没办法判断 So, you had no way of telling
那天下午谁在尼文的房间、谁不在。 who was in Nivin's room that afternoon and who wasn't.
对，没错。听着，放我一马行不行？ Yeah, that's right. Look, give me a break, will you?
别把我交给俱乐部委员会。 I mean, don't turn me into the club committee.
-这工作挺不错的，你懂吧？-好好好。 -It's a pretty good job, you know? -All right, all right.
那么，除了那两位女士之外， Now, beside the two ladies,
案发当天下午还有别人去找过尼文上校吗？ did anyone else visit Colonel Nivin the afternoon of the murder?
-没有。除非，呃——-除非谁？ -Nobody. Except, uh -- -Except who?
前一天他接了两通电话—— Well, the day before, he got a couple of telephone calls --
都是同一个英国佬——【注：Limey（英国佬），美国俚语中对英国人的贬称，源自英国水手吃酸橙防坏血病的历史】 same guy both times, Limey --
[ 英国口音 ] 非常非常英式的那种，你懂吧？ [ British accent ] Very, very English, you know?
你问到他名字了吗？ Did you get his name?
没有，我问了两次——没名字没号码，不过—— No, I asked him twice -- no name, no number, but --
啊，他提到什么古董， Ah, he did say something about antiques,
说上校会知道他是谁。 said the Colonel would know who he was.
-艾勒里！-埃斯特布鲁克！ -Ellery! -Esterbrook!
-谁？谁？-档案里有这个人，爸。 -Who? Who? -Somebody in the file, Dad.
珍妮，好好想想—— Jenny, think hard --
那天下午书店里有没有人进来， was there anybody that came in the bookstore that afternoon
用英国口音跟尼文说话？ that talked to Nivin with an English accent?
没有。 No.
有。有，嗯——有，有一个人。 Yes. Yes, y-- yes, there was somebody.
我没听清他的声音——我在房间另一头， I didn't hear his voice -- I was across the room,
但他和上校走到角落里， but he and the Colonel went off in the corner
激动地争吵了好几分钟， and argued very excitedly for a couple of minutes,
然后那人就走了。 and then the man left.
好，如果再见到他，你能认出来吗？ All right, would you remember him if you saw him again?
哦，能，他很有派头。 Oh, yes, he was very distinguished.
谁能告诉我到底怎么回事？ Would somebody mind telling me what's going on?
没什么，爸，只是我们可能又有一个嫌疑人。 Nothing much, Dad, except that we might have another suspect.
[ 音乐盒响起 ] [ Music box plays ]
-巴赫。-啊？【注：巴赫（Johann Sebastian Bach），德国巴洛克时期作曲家】 -Bach. -Eh?
-巴赫。-我还以为你叫史密瑟斯。 -Bach. -I thought your name was Smithers.
[ 轻笑 ] [ Chuckles ]
不，我是史密瑟斯。那是巴赫。 No, I'm Smithers. That's Bach.
哦。我可以……？ Oh. May I...?
哦，请便，不过请轻一点。 Oh, please do, but please be gentle.
[ 音乐盒停止 ] [ Music box stops playing ]
嗯，确实非常非常不错，但我更关心的是， Well, that's very, very nice, but I'm more interested
昨天下午大约5点你在哪里。 in where you were yesterday afternoon, around 5:00.
我……我不明白。 I-I don't understand.
你当然明白。我看见你和尼文上校说话了。 Of course you do. I saw you talking to Colonel Nivin.
我们已经通过移民局查过了， Woe've checked through the Immigration Service,
埃斯特布鲁克先生。 Mr. Esterbrook.
你是非法入境者，我们可以把你遣返。 You're an illegal alien. We can have you deported.
所以，别再演史密瑟斯这出戏了。 So, let's drop this Smithers business.
你甚至还在书里做了记号， Why, you even marked the place in the book
标出尼文要揭发你的那一段。 where Nivin was going to expose you.
探长，你得理解——我被迫更换身份。 Inspector, you must understand -- I was forced to change my identity.
战争结束后他们会把我关进监狱。 They would have put me in prison after the war.
也该如此，毕竟你替纳粹做过广播。 As well they should have, broadcasting for the Nazis.
-哦，那只是掩护。-掩护？ -Oh, that was only a cover. -Cover?
是的，我为英国情报部门工作。 Yes, I working for British Intelligence.
那些广播只是幌子。 The broadcasts were only a ruse.
我实际上是在传递情报， I was actually transmitting information
用密码发往英国。 to Great Britain in code.
真是个高明的主意。 What a clever idea.
嗯，是的，太高明了。 Well, yes, too clever.
按照我们的保密制度， Under our security system,
只有一个人知道我在密码中的身份， only one man knew of my identity in the code,
情报部门的一名特工。 an agent in the Intelligence Branch.
明智，明智的防范。 Wise, wise precaution.
是的。那个人在战争的最后几周被V-2火箭炸死了。【注：V-2火箭，纳粹德国在二战末期使用的远程弹道导弹/火箭武器】 Yes. That man was killed in the final weeks of the war by a V-2 rocket.
哦，太可怕了。于是你就逃了？ Oh, how awful. So you ran away?
我还能怎么办？ What else could I do?
我来到美国，改变了相貌。 I came to America. I changed my appearance.
我想开始新生活。 I wanted to start a new life.
回到我的问题—— Getting back to my question --
昨天下午大约5点你在哪里？ where were you last night, about 5:007
我一直在店里待到6点。 I was in the shop until 6:00.
我至少和我最好的一位顾客待了两个小时—— I spent at least two hours with one of my best customers --
范多伦太太。 Mrs. Van Doren.
你看——这是她最后买的 Look -- here's a receipt for a Ming vase
一只明代花瓶的收据。【注：明代瓷器（Ming vase）在西方古董市场常被视为高价值收藏品的代名词】 she eventually bought.
我建议你们联系她， I would suggest you get in touch with her,
但不巧她去巴哈马度假了，【注：巴哈马（Bahamas），位于大西洋—加勒比海域的群岛国家/旅游胜地】 but unfortunately she's gone to the Bahamas
要待上两周。 for a couple of weeks.
哦，巴哈马，是吗？ Oh, the Bahamas, eh?
-一颗氰化物胶囊！-噢，少来这套。 -A cyanide pill! -Oh, let's have none of that.
你该为自己感到羞耻。 You should be ashamed of yourself.
小苏打。 Bicarbonate of soda.
对，就是小苏打。 Yep, it's bicarbonate of soda.
真巧，埃斯特布鲁克的不在场证明人出城了。 Very convenient Esterbrook's alibi is out of town.
爸，我在尼文沙发上发现的那根金发——查过了吗？ Dad, that blonde hair I found on Nivin's couch -- was it checked out?
没有，多布伦斯科夫太太承认她去过。 No, Mrs. Dobrenskov admitted she was there.
我说的不是多布伦斯科夫太太。 Well, I wasn't thinking of Mrs. Dobrenskov.
老天爷，快看这个！ Holy Hannah, look at this!
太糟了。 How awful.
连警察探长的公寓都被人翻了——这还得了？！ An police inspector's apartment -- where will it all end?!
他们在找什么，尼文上校的档案？ What were they looking for, Colonel Nivin's files?
你说得对——尼文的档案。他们拿走了尼文上校的档案。 You're right -- Nivin's files. They got Colonel Nivin's files.
也许没有。也许没有。 Maybe not. Maybe not.
那你把档案放哪儿了？ Now, what did you do with the files?
艾勒里，你还记得你把档案怎么处理了吗？ Can you remember what you did with the files, Ellery?
艾勒里，都这时候了你怎么还想着吃的？ Ellery, how can you think of food at a time like this?
我都不想问你， I'm not even gonna ask you
为什么把那些档案放进冰箱。 why you put those files in the refrigerator.
我晚饭后收拾时，一只手拿着火鸡， While I was cleaning up after dinner, I had the turkey in one hand,
另一只手拿着档案，结果电话响了。 the files in the other, and then the phone rang.
他们一定是撬锁进来的，维利。 They must have picked the lock, Velie.
对对。把指纹工具也带上。 Yeah, yeah. And bring your print kit.
天哪，真刺激。 Boy, this is really exciting.
有人很想要那些档案。 Somebody wanted those files pretty bad.
奥布莱恩小姐，你觉得刺激，我可不觉得。 You may find it exciting, Miss O'Brien, but I don't.
看看这乱成什么样。 Look at this mess.
如果干这事的人就是尼文的凶手， Well, if whoever did this was Nivin's killer,
那基本就排除了巴尼·格罗夫斯。 that just about eliminates Barney Groves.
格罗夫斯？格罗夫斯？他怎么成嫌疑人了？ Groves? Groves? Why is he a suspect?
他谎报身份，而且确实有作案机会。 Well, he lied about his identity. He certainly had an opportunity.
他也可能有我们还没发现的动机。 And he might have had a motive we haven't discovered.
可你是说这事不是格罗夫斯干的。 But you're saying Groves didn't do this.
被动过的那个抽屉， The file drawer that was tampered with
对应的是字母“D”“E”“F”和“G”。 was for the letters "D "E " "F " and "G."
可在“G”下面并没有巴尼·格罗夫斯的档案。 But under "G," there was no file for Barney Groves.
如果原本有，那也应该是他自己拿走了， If there was, he removed it,
他就没有理由再跑来这里。 and he'd have no reason to come here.
-艾勒里？啊？-过来。 -Ellery? Huh? -Come here.
-什么？-过来！ -What? -Come here!
那就是服装店里的那个男人。 That's the man in the dress shop.
理查德：他在盯着我们的公寓。 RICHARD: He's watching our apartment.
太离谱了。 This is outrageous.
珍妮：探长，你不认得他吗？ JENNY: Don't you recognize him, Inspector?
就是那个跟踪索尼娅·多布伦斯科夫去服装店的人。 That's the man who followed Sonja Dobrenskov to the dress shop.
我要弄清楚他想干什么。 I'm gonna find out what he wants.
等等。等一下。等等。等一下。 Now, wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Wait a minute.
我给分局打电话，让人把他带走。 I'll call the precinct, have him picked up.
因为什么，游荡罪？爸，这事交给我处理，好吗？ For what, loitering? Let me handle this, Dad, okay?
艾勒里，小心点。 Ellery, be careful.
嗨。 Hi.
听着——我想知道你为什么盯着我们公寓， Look -- I-I was wondering why you're watching our apartment
还为什么想要尼文的档案。 and why you want Nivin's files.
你不如进来，我们谈谈？ Why don't you come in inside, and we'll talk about it?
听着——这肯定有个合理的解释。 Look -- there's got to be a logical explanation.
[ 车辆驶近 ] [ Vehicle approaching ]
哦，嗨，维利。 Oh, hi, Velie.
别动。 Don't move.
怎么样？ Well?
盯着我公寓的那个恶棍是你们的人！ That thug watching my apartment was your people!
不完全算我的人，探长。他是内务人民委员部的人。【注：内务人民委员部（NKVD），苏联时期负责内务与国家安全的机构之一，常被视为秘密警察体系的核心】 Not exactly my people, Inspector. He was an NKVD man.
苏联秘密警察。 The Russian secret police.
相信我——如果闯进你公寓的是他， Believe me -- if he is the one who broke into your apartment,
那也不是我指使的。 it was without my knowledge.
多布伦斯科夫先生，你跟任何人一样有理由 Mr. Dobrenskov, you had as good a reason as anyone
想要那些档案。 to want those files.
你是说档案在你公寓里？ You mean the files were in your apartment?
别装作你不知道。 Don't pretend you didn't know.
你不明白，情况非常严重。 You do not understand. The situation's extremely grave.
你最好解释清楚，多布伦斯科夫先生。 You'd better explain, Mr. Dobrenskov.
我希望这房间里没有窃听装置。 I trust you have no listening devices in this room.
你说什么？这里是美国！ | beg your pardon? This is Americal!
哦，是的，是的，当然。 Oh, yes, yes, of course.
请允许我解释。 Permit me to explain.
你们知道我妻子索尼娅在战争期间， You know that my wife, Sonja, during the war,
和那个纳粹弗赖利歇尔关系密切。 was a friend to that Nazi Frélicher.
那不是她的选择。他威胁她的家人。 It was not her choice. He threatened her family.
那对她来说是一场可怕的折磨。 It was a terrible ordeal for her.
但我在苏联的上级对她的过去一无所知。 But my superiors in Russia know nothing of her past.
如果他们知道了，索尼娅就会非常危险。 If they did, it would be extremely dangerous for Sonja.
他们绝不会相信她是清白的。 They would never believe her innocence.
你为什么之前不告诉我们？ Why didn't you tell us this before?
在我的国家里学会信任警察， Learning to trust the police in my country
不是一种容易养成的习惯，探长。 is not a habit easily acquired, Inspector.
好吧，先生，如果这能让你安心些， Well, if it'll make you feel any better, sir,
档案没被找到。 the files weren't found.
还有希望。 There is still hope.
你是说内务人民委员部连你都不信任？ You mean the NKVD doesn't even trust you?
叛逃的人太多了。他们从不让你脱离视线。 There are so many defections. You are never out of their sight.
就连昨天，我妻子也想要几个小时的自由—— Even yesterday, my wife wanted a few hours of freedom to --
去购物，看看你们这座美丽城市的风景， to shop, to see the sights of your wonderful city
不被人监视。 without being spied upon.
就算今天我离开这间警局， Even today, when I leave this police station,
也会有一个人在外面等着我。 one of them will be out there waiting for me.
你是说内务人民委员部一直在跟踪你？ You mean the NKVD is always tailing you?
所以我和我妻子都不可能杀尼文。 And that is why neither my wife nor I could have killed Nivin.
在他们盯着的情况下那么做简直是疯了。 It would be insane, with the NKVD following us.
多布伦斯科夫先生，你能证明 Mr. Dobrenskov, can you establish your whereabouts
案发时你在哪里吗？ at the time of the murder?
我在莱克萨克塞斯的办公室。【注：莱克萨克塞斯（Lake Success），纽约长岛的地名；二战后联合国曾在此设临时总部】 I was in my office at Lake Success.
能证明吗？ Can you verify that?
我当时和一位先生密谈，他的名字必须保密—— I was closeted with a gentleman whose name must remain secret --
极其敏感。 extremely sensitive.
换句话说，你没有不在场证明。 In other words, you don't have an alibi.
我自己的政府宁愿看我被判谋杀罪成立， My own government would rather see me convicted of murder
也不允许我说出那个人的名字。 than permit me to divulge this man's name.
如果多布伦斯科夫说的是真话，那他就清白了， If Dobrenskov is telling the truth, then he's in the clear,
但因为他的不在场证明是秘密，我们无法核实。 but there's no way of checking because his alibi's a secret.
另一方面，他也可能在撒谎。 On the other hand, maybe he's lying.
艾勒里，外交官不说实话？ Ellery, a diplomat not telling the truth?
好吧，假设他在撒谎，那又怎样？ All right, suppose he is lying. What then?
那他就根本没有不在场证明，不管秘密不秘密。 Then he doesn't have an alibi, secret or otherwise.
对对对。 Yeah, yeah.
他有外交豁免权，而我却惹上了天大的麻烦。 He's just got diplomatic immunity, and I've got a major headache.
等华盛顿听说这事吧。【注：华盛顿此处指美国联邦政府/首都华盛顿特区】 Wait till Washington hears about this.
他们甚至可能把我发配到西伯利亚。【注：西伯利亚，俄罗斯广阔地区，历史上常与流放/劳改意象相连】 They may even send me to Siberia.
哦，爸，他们不能因为你尽职就怪你。 Oh, Dad, they can't blame you for doing your job.
我倒想知道挑起第三次世界大战要判什么。 I wonder what the penalty is for starting World War Ill.
[ 电话铃响 ] [ Telephone rings ]
喂？ Hello?
哦，嗨，珍妮。我以为我们约了午饭。 Oh, hi, Jenny. I thought we had a lunch date.
什么？ What?
哦。 Oh.
好吧，你说在哪儿我就去哪儿接你。 Well, I'll pick you up wherever you say.
15到20分钟行吗？ Make it 15, 20 minutes?
好。 Good.
珍妮，有件事对不上，我又说不出是哪儿不对。 Jenny, something doesn't fit, and I can't figure out what it is.
嗯，总之有人杀了尼文上校。 Well, somebody killed Colonel Nivin.
艾勒里，快靠边停车，就那儿！ Ellery, pull over there, quick!
天哪——尼龙丝袜特卖，一双只要1.09美元！我马上回来！【注：尼龙丝袜（nylons）在20世纪中期曾因供应紧张与时尚需求引发抢购热潮】 Gee whiz -- nylons on sale for $1.09 a pair! I'll be right back!
警官，有什么问题吗？ Something wrong, Officer?
先生，你不能停在消防栓前面。 Well, you can't park in front of a fireplug, sir.
我没停。我只是等个朋友。 Well, I'm not parked. I'm just waiting for a friend.
哦，对，当然，我懂——就一会儿，对吧？ Oh, yeah, sure, I understand -- just for a minute, right?
我朋友在里面，她叫奥布莱恩小姐。 My friend is inside. Her name is Miss O'Brien.
她在买一双丝袜。 She's buying a pair of nylons.
一双才1.09美元，很划算。 They're only $1.09 a pair. That's very reasonable.
真是便宜——丝袜1.09美元， A real bargain -- $1.09 for the stockings,
罚单2美元。 2 bucks for the ticket.
哦，反正来得容易去得也快。 Oh, well, easy come, easy go.
卖光了！你敢信吗？ Sold out! Would you believe it?
700双丝袜两小时就卖光了。 700 pairs of nylons sold out in two hours.
祝你今天愉快，先生。 A fine day to you, sir.
700双，全卖光了？ 700 pairs, all sold out?
700双……卖光了。 700 pairs... sold out.
你明白了吗？ Have you got it?
如果你观察得够仔细， If you've been watching very closely,
你可能看到了我直到刚才才注意到的东西。 you may have seen something that I missed until just now.
是谁杀了亚历克·尼文？ Who killed Alec Nivin?
是索尼娅·多布伦斯科夫，还是她丈夫阿列克谢， Was it Sonja Dobrenskov, her husband, Alexsei,
摄影师富尔谢，还是古董商埃斯特布鲁克？ Fourchet, the photographer, or that antique dealer, Esterbrook?
或者是别的人，比如巴尼·格罗夫斯， Or maybe it was somebody else, like Barney Groves,
或者——那个内务人民委员部的人。 or that -- that character from the NKVD.
不，不是珍妮， No, it was not Jenny,
但我提示你们一句——有人的不在场证明根本经不起推敲。 but I'll give you a clue -- somebody's alibi is all wet.
嗨，爸。5点整，分秒不差。 Hi, Dad. 5:00, right on the dot.
-看吧？我在进步。-那很好。 -You see? I am improving. -Well, that's good.
好吧，大家都按你说的来了。 Well, everybody's here, as you asked.
真不容易。 What a job.
你知道要费多少口舌、使多少手段， Do you know how much arm-twisting it takes
才能把这么多人逼来现场吗？ to bully that many people into showing up?
爸，我发现了件有意思的事， Dad, I found out something interesting
关于我们那位朋友巴尼·格罗夫斯。 about our friend Barney Groves.
有个朋友的朋友的朋友， Now, a friend of a friend of a friend
认识利文沃思监狱里的人——【注：利文沃思（Leavenworth）常指美国堪萨斯州的联邦监狱系统相关机构】 who knows someone at Leavenworth --
那又怎样？ Well, what about it?
据说接到华盛顿某处的命令， On orders from somewhere in Washington,
巴尼·格罗夫斯的档案被从监狱里调走了。 Barney Groves' files were removed from prison.
但关键是——那个朋友的朋友—— But get this -- the friend of the friend --
朋友的朋友——我知道，我知道。 Of the friend of the friend -- I know, yeah.
说巴尼·格罗夫斯两年前就死了。 Says Barney Groves died two years ago.
死了？那就是有人—— Died? Well, then somebody's--
冒用他的身份。对。可为什么？ Assuming his identity. Right. Well, why?
进去问个明白。 Let's go in and find out.
来，帮我拿着这个，行吗？ Here, hold this, will you?
谢谢各位前来。 Thank you all for coming.
奎因先生，这太不合规矩了。 Mr. Queen, this is most irregular.
我代表我国政府提出抗议。 On behalf of my government, I must protest.
你有什么权限这么做？ What is your authority here?
对啊，我们谁要被指控？ Yes, which one of us is being charged?
我懂我的权利。你们不能把我留在这儿。 I know my rights. You cannot keep me here.
请大家听听奎因先生要说什么。 Please, I think we should listen to what Mr. Queen has to say.
谢谢你，多布伦斯科夫太太。 Thank you, Mrs. Dobrenskov.
如各位所知，这一切都是非正式的， As you know, this is all unofficial,
但你们每个人都曾被怀疑， but each of you has come under suspicion
涉嫌谋杀亚历克·尼文上校。 for the murder of Colonel Alec Nivin.
不过在接下来的几分钟里， But in the next few minutes,
除了其中一人之外，其他人都会洗清嫌疑。 that suspicion will be lifted from all but one of you.
我没什么可隐瞒的。 I have nothing to hide.
不可能是我。 Couldn't have been me.
请快点。我还有个重要会议。 Please get on with it. I have an important meeting.
好的，先生，但首先我还想先弄清一个小谜团。 Yes, sir, but first there's one other little mystery I'd like to clear up.
格罗夫斯先生，也许你可以先开始， Mr. Groves, perhaps you'd like to start
告诉我们你到底是谁。 by telling us who you really are.
我不知道你在说什么。 I don't know what you are talking about.
我相信真正的巴尼·格罗夫斯已经死了。 I believe the real Barney Groves is dead.
必要的话，我敢打赌我能拿出死亡证明。 If I have to, I'll bet I can produce a death certificate.
奎因探长，我能私下跟你谈谈吗？ May I speak with you privately, Inspector Queen?
乔治·皮尔森少校，战略情报局。【注：战略情报局（OSS），美国二战时期的情报机构，被视为后来的CIA等机构的前身之一】 Major George Pearson, OSS.
我奉命监视尼文上校。 I was assigned to keep an eye on Colonel Nivin.
那些档案是被盗的政府财产。 The files are stolen government property.
抱歉之前不能告诉你，探长——规定如此。 Sorry I couldn't tell you before, Inspector -- regulations.
这就解释了很多事。 That explains a great deal.
翻我家的是你们的人吗？ Was it your people who went through my place?
探长，我们会干那种事吗？ Inspector, would we do a thing like that?
奎因先生，大家都在等。到底是谁杀了尼文上校？ Mr. Queen, we're all waiting. Who did murder Colonel Nivin?
请坐下好吗？ Would you take a seat?
我们来看看事实。 Let's examine the facts.
多布伦斯科夫太太，你承认你去过， Mrs. Dobrenskov, you admit you were there,
但你说你离开时他还活着。 but you claim he was alive when you left.
多布伦斯科夫先生，你有动机， You had a motive, Mr. Dobrenskov,
虽然你的不在场证明，说轻了也是摇摇欲坠。 although your alibi is a little bit shaky, to say the least.
苏联秘密警察对他们的外交人员 The Russian secret police take a deep interest
十分关注， in their diplomatic personnel,
但一个内务人民委员部的人 but an NKVD man
不会鲁莽地抓起墙上的纪念品当凶器。 would not impetuously grab a wall souvenir as a murder weapon.
不，他会准备周全。 No, he'd come well-prepared.
埃斯特布鲁克先生，你声称， Mr. Esterbrook, you claim
战争期间你与尼文上校一起 that you worked for the British Intelligence
为英国情报部门工作。 during the war with Colonel Nivin.
这有可能。 That's possible.
富尔谢先生，你是唯一一个拥有完美不在场证明的人—— Mr. Fourchet, you're the only one with the perfect alibi --
案发时你在波士顿。 you were in Boston during the time of the murder.
真的是吗？爸，我能看看那本杂志吗？ Or were you? Dad, may I see that magazine?
这本今天下午刚上架。 This just hit the stands this afternoon.
好。 All right.
这里，第47页， Here, on page 47,
是你拍的波士顿码头工人罢工的图片报道。 is your photo story of the Boston longshoremen strike.
还记得你在谋杀案后的第二天早上 Remember you showed me these photographs
给我看过这些照片吗？ the morning after the murder?
没错。 That is correct.
还有这张照片—— And this picture --
你说是案发当天下午拍的？ you said you took it the afternoon of the murder?
是的，我想在最后一卷里，就是我给你看的那几张。 Yes, I believe it was in the last roll, the ones I showed you.
这不可能是真的，富尔谢先生。 That can't possibly be true, Mr. Fourchet.
这张照片清楚地拍到了苏联船“拉丽莎号”，【注：“拉丽莎号”（Larissa）为船名；此处作为苏联船只与叛逃事件的关键线索】 This picture clearly shows the Russian ship Larissa
在波士顿港。 in the Boston Harbor.
但那天晚上“拉丽莎号”在纽约港， But the Larissa was in New York Harbor that evening
因为有个苏联船员叛逃。 when a Russian crewman defected.
没错。 That's right.
“拉丽莎号”不可能下午在波士顿， It's impossible for the Larissa to be in Boston in the afternoon
晚上又到纽约。 and in New York in the evening.
你是前一天拍的这张。 You took that photo the day before.
我——我一定是搞错了。 I -- 1 must have made a mistake.
可这不能证明我在纽约。 But that doesn't prove I was in New York.
不能，但尼文上校的书能。 No, but Colonel Nivin's book does.
直到我带奥布莱恩小姐去赶丝袜特卖，我才意识到这一点。 I didn't realize it till I took Miss O'Brien to a nylon sale.
这本书只卖了一天。 But this book was only on sale for one day.
我在书店亲眼看到它售罄。 I was in a bookstore when it sold out.
可第二天我去拜访你时， But the next day, when I visited you,
你手里就有一本， you had a copy of this book
里面夹着“高谭书店”的书签，就像这张一样。【注：Gotham为纽约的常见别称之一；Gotham Book Store指剧中纽约书店】 with the Gotham Book Store bookmark in it, just like this.
你只能是在纽约市买到这本书， You could have only purchased this book in New York City
而且是在案发当天。 on the day of the murder.
可你知道我的飞机是半夜才降落的。 But you know my plane landed at midnight.
噢，那套说辞差点就蒙混过关了，富尔谢先生。 Oh, well, now, that almost worked, Mr. Fourchet.
你在案发当天早上就到了， You arrived the morning of the murder,
你在《公报》上看到了那条新闻，【注：Gazette常作英文报刊名后缀，泛指“公报/报纸”】 you read that news item in the Gazette,
然后买了这本尼文的书。 and you bought this copy of Nivin's book.
当你看到他要揭发你， When you saw that he was going to expose you,
你去见他，和他争吵， you met him, you argued with him,
你抓起一把匕首，杀了他， you grabbed a dagger, and you killed him,
你抓起一把匕首杀了他，还小心翼翼不留指纹。 you grabbed a dagger, and you killed him, being careful not to leave any prints.
随后，为了维持你的不在场证明， Then, to maintain your alibi,
你去了拉瓜迪亚机场，搭机去波士顿。 you went to LaGuardia and caught a plane to Boston.
我猜是6:36那班，用了化名。 The 6:36 would be my guess, using a fictitious name.
你8:20到达后，又从那儿打了对方付费电话给未婚妻—— And when you arrived at 8:20, you called your fiancée collect --
留个记录——让她去接机。 just for the record -- to ask her to meet your plane.
你又赶上9:20那班回纽约， You grabbed the 9:20 back to New York,
用的是你自己的名字。 using your own name.
没错。波士顿那通电话是8:43打的——在两趟飞机之间。 That's right. The Boston call was at 8:43 -- between planes.
[ 叹气 ] [ Sighs ]
他——他嘲笑我。 He -- He laughed at me.
他说真正的绅士绝不会出卖战友， He said no gentleman would betray his comrades,
无论盖世太保做过什么。 no matter what the Gestapo did.
我求他，可他只是不停地笑。 I begged him, but he only kept laughing.
维利，把他带走。 Velie, take him away.
其余的人可以走了。 The rest of you can go.
嗯，探长，我很高兴这事解决了。 Well, Inspector, I'm very glad that's settled.
奎因先生，谢谢你。 Mr. Queen, thank you.
我一直确信—— I was sure --
我是说，我和我丈夫一直确信—— That is, my husband and I were sure--
我们担心当下的政治局势 We were afraid the politics of the moment
会被用来对付我们。 would be held against us.
请原谅我的悲观。谢谢。 Forgive my cynicism. Thank you.
不客气。 You're very welcome.
探长，我们希望把那些档案拿回去。 We'd like to have those files back, Inspector.
我们会严格保密。 They'll be kept in confidence.
-好。-谢谢。 -All right. -Thank you.
探长！街上有内务人民委员部的人。 Inspector! There are NKVD men on the street.
他们一定是发现了索尼娅的事。 They must have found out about Sonja.
我们完了。 We are finished.
多布伦斯科夫先生，也许我能帮上忙。 Mr. Dobrenskov, perhaps I can be of help.
乔治·皮尔森少校。 Major George Pearson.
我们了解你在华盛顿遇到的问题。 We're aware of your problem in Washington.
我已获授权，只要你愿意， I've been empowered, if you should so choose,
可以向你提供在本国的政治庇护。 to offer you asylum in this country.
叛逃——我每晚都在梦里想这件事。 Defecting -- I dream about it every night.
可他们会追查我们。 But they would look for us.
哦，我相信我们可以安排一个新身份。 Oh, I'm sure we could arrange a new identity.
也许在莱维敦给你们安排一套朴素的房子。【注：莱维敦（Levittown），美国战后著名的大规模郊区住宅社区，常被视为“流水线式郊区化”的象征】 Perhaps a modest house in Levittown.
带一小块草坪。 With a little lawn.
再配一辆小车——不需要多豪华。 And a small car -- nothing fancy.
再来一台自动洗衣机？ And an automatic washer?
我想没问题。 I'm sure it could be arranged.
[ 清嗓子 ] [ Clears throat ]
多布伦斯科夫先生。 Mr. Dobrenskov.
我听说你已经与某位先生接触过， I understand that you've made contact with a certain gentleman,
即阿贝尔上校。【注：“阿贝尔”（Abel）常见作苏联情报人员的化名；“阿贝尔上校”在冷战叙事中是著名的苏联王牌间谍】 a Colonel Abel.
我们的人想多了解他一些。 Our people would like to know more about him.
-艾勒里？-嗯？ -Ellery? -Hmm?
那推理太精彩了。 That was a brilliant deduction.
而且你想想——关键线索还是我给你的。 And just think -- I'm the one that gave you the key clue.
没错，珍妮。是你。 That's right, Jenny. You did.
说到莱维敦的房子…… Now, speaking of houses in Levittown...
呃，爸，你能帮我处理一下吗？ Uh, Dad, you think you could take care of that for me?
那张是在我办案时收到的。 Now, I got that while I was working on the case.
艾勒里，你想让我帮你摆平停车罚单？ Ellery, you want me to fix a parking ticket?
把2美元交了。 Pay the $2.
