斯嘉丽小姐和公爵

Miss Scarlet and The Duke S03E01

Part 2 Feb. 21, 2023, 10:42 a.m.

Yeah, you did this last month.
对不起
Oh, yes. I'm sorry.
今天太多烦心事了
I'm just having a particularly vexing day.
我负责的持械抢劫案的头号♥嫌犯逃掉了
My prime suspect in an armed robbery has done a runner.
你应该不会比我更烦
So, it cannot be any worse than mine.
不是要跟你攀比的意思
Not that it's a competition.
那你为什么要这样说
Then why are you making it so?
我为此道歉不是你的错
I apologise. It's not your fault.
是他的错
It's his.
该死的记者辛克莱尔
That damn journalist Sinclaire
泄露了机密信息
has leaked confidential information,
所以我们找不到嫌犯
hence my missing man.
不能让他重新出版
Can't you get him to remove the story
撤下这篇报道吗
for the later edition?
事已至此
Damage is already done.
二十万读者已经读过这篇报道
Two hundred thousand souls will have read it by now,
其中就有我的头号♥嫌犯
amongst them, my prime suspect.
二十万
Two hundred thousand?
对
Sadly, yes.
公众对于这些低俗报刊总是喜闻乐见
There seems to be an insatiable appetite for the gutter press.
也许波茨先生说得没错
Perhaps Mr. Potts is right,
整个国家已经糟糕到无药可救
the country's going to hell in a handcart.
二十万
Two hundred thousand?
肥鹅酒馆
辛克莱尔先生
Mr. Sinclaire.
办公室的人说能在这找到您
Your office said I would find you here.
我想在您的报纸上登个广♥告♥
I would like to place an advert in your newspaper.
我每天忙得不可开交
As usual I'm run off my feet,
但客户永远不嫌多
but you can never have too many clients.
我有个主意斯嘉丽小姐
I have a better idea, Miss Scarlet.
比纯广♥告♥更好的点子
Something far superior to a mere... advert.
借一步说话
Shall we?
您想雇用我
You want to hire me
写一篇关于调查的报道吗
and run an article on the investigation?
与其说是报道
You may wish to call it an article,
不如称之为五段式连载冒险故事
I would much rather a five part serialized adventure
以女侦探为主人公
featuring The Lady Detective.
对你的业务来说这可是绝佳的广♥告♥
I can think of no better advert for your services.
你知道吗我的读者厌倦了大篇的警♥察♥故事
See, my readership are bored of stories about the police,
墨守成规没有新意
so dull, so predictable,
但你的故事
but you...
绝对更有吸引力
that is an altogether more alluring prospect.
是什么案子
So, what is this case?
昨晚我的一个插画师去法兰德斯剧院看演出
Last night one of my illustrators attended a show
那剧院就在拉尔沃思巷
at the Flanders Theater, just off Lulworth Lane.
剧院负责人委托我们打广♥告♥
The proprietor had commissioned an advert
插画师当时给各个节目画了速写
and said illustrator was there sketching the various acts.
轮到有"了不起的意大利幻术师"之称的
When it was the turn of the in-house magician,
室内魔术师阿方索表演时
Alfonso, the Great Italian Illusionist,
刚开始还没什么特别之处
it began as a rather generic magic act.
但后来不可思议的事情发生了
But then, something extraordinary happened.
法兰德斯剧院
昨晚阿方索表演大变活人魔术
So last night the Great Alfonso did his vanishing act.
结果真的消失了吗
But actually did vanish?
从那个箱子凭空消失了
Disappeared into thin air, from that very box.
如何称呼 - 我姓凌
Miss...? - Ling.
跟我说说昨晚的情况凌小姐
Talk me through exactly what happened, Miss Ling.
越细越好
Every detail.
我在阿方索手下当了好几年助手
Well, I've been Alfonso's assistant for many years
每天晚上都会表演同一个节目
and we do the same act, every night.
昨夜也和平时别无二致
And last night was no different.
一如往常我们登上舞台
As usual, we walked onto the stage
开始跟着音乐表演
and performed our act to music,
接下来到了消失戏法环节
then it came to the vanishing trick
阿方索爬进箱子里
and Alfonso climbed into the box
只是这一次他没有重新出现
only but this time, he didn't reappear.
箱子里始终空无一物
The box was empty.
跟我说说那个戏法吧
Tell me about the trick.
我们的布置就和一般戏法一样
We do all the usual setup business.
女助手
The girl,
魔术箱
the box,
观众的期待感
the sense of expectation.
然后阿方索进箱子
Then Alfonso gets inside.
我把活塞往里推
I push in the plunger,
他则挥舞着他的手帕以证明他还在里面
he waves the handkerchief to show he's still in there.
我一直推到他消失不见
I keep pushing until he disappears.
并展示他确实不见了箱子里什么都没有
I show that he's gone, and the box is empty.
然后我把活塞拉回来
Then I pull the plunger back out.
阿方索就会重新出现
And Alfonso reappears.
了不起的幻术师阿方索
但我刚才说了昨晚他没有重新出现
But like I said, last night he didn't reappear.
一定有个合理的解释
There must be a rational explanation.
展示一下他最初是怎么消失的
Show me how he initially disappears.
旁边有一个隔间
It's a side compartment.
内有足够的空间容纳阿方索
It's cushioned with enough depth to allow Alfonso
他可以靠着躲开活塞
to lean back and escape the plunger.
底下也有为他的腿准备的隔间
There's also a secret compartment for his legs.
很精巧
That's very clever.
但这些隔间无法让他彻底消失
But it doesn't explain why he didn't reappear.
你也很确定
And you're absolutely certain
他没有偷偷溜出箱子
he didn't sneak out of the box?
我很确定
I'm sure.
一分钟前他还在里面
I mean, one minute he was in there,
一瞬间他就不见了
and the next minute he was gone.
阿方索昨晚登台表演前
Where was the last place Alfonso would have been
最后一个去的地方可能是哪
before coming on stage last night?
笨蛋
Budalo.
走路长眼睛
Watch where you are going.
不好意思 - 怎么了
Excuse me? - Yeah?
我觉得我走错了方向
I think I took a wrong turn.
我在找阿方索的换装间
I'm looking for Alfonso's dressing room?
又是他今天尽是找阿方索的人
Oh, typical, it is all about Alfonso today.
我没有工夫和你说这个走开
I have no time for this. Odlazi.
您说什么 - 滚蛋
Pardon? - Bugger off!
不好意思我在找魔术师的换装间
Excuse me, I was looking for the dressing of the magician?
哪个魔术师我父亲还是另一位魔术师
Which one? My father or the other magician?
阿方索失踪的那位
Alfonso, the missing one.
失踪
Missing?
阿方索听到会很开心的
Alfonso would love that.
他充满幽默细胞
He's full of fun.
喜欢在人们身上开玩笑
Loves playing tricks on people.
你觉得这是一个噱头
Oh, you think this a publicity stunt?
我觉得你可能是对的
I fear you may be right.
有人雇我去找到他
I've been hired to find him.
我是一名私♥家♥侦♥探♥
I'm a private investigator.
你是什么
You're what?
不好意思人们经常这么问吗
Sorry. Do people say that a lot?
不如说一些人听到这会很惊讶
Let's just say it's a source of consternation for some.
我爸爸自认为
My father has convinced himself
所有人都想知道他是怎么变魔术戏法的
that everyone wishes to know the tricks of his trade.
我给他做了这个箱子好让他开心
I built him this chest to keep him happy.
越是厉害的魔术师越偏执
Magicians are as paranoid as they are competitive.
你父亲就是另一位魔术师
Your father's the other magician?
魔法师斯莱文
Slaven the Sorcerer.
米莱娜你排练迟到了
Milena, you are late for rehearsal.
阿爸这位是斯嘉丽小姐
Papa, this is Miss Scarlet.
她是一名私♥家♥侦♥探♥
She's a private investigator.
她是什么
She's a what?
阿方索的换装间是哪间
Alfonso's dressing room?
倒数第三间
Third door down.
整件事荒谬无比
This whole thing is ridiculous.
斯嘉丽小姐
Miss Scarlet?
