It's unforgivable! 11:46.190 --> 11:48.440 And so the marquis must be punished, 11:48.440 --> 11:51.190 and Miss Bertia should not be my fiancée. Is that right? 11:51.890 --> 11:56.330 You know, it's true that those documents showed quite a good investigation, 11:56.330 --> 11:58.850 and I think they serve as splendid evidence of crimes committed. 12:00.290 --> 12:03.270 However, it wasn't Marquis Noches. 12:03.270 --> 12:08.220 Viscount Consabtier, Count Conmorno, Baron Sagile... 12:08.220 --> 12:10.680 It's proof that the three of them have committed crimes. 12:10.680 --> 12:11.680 Pardon us. 12:11.680 --> 12:18.230 Exactly!
