THE MOON OF INDIA

EPISODE 5

Back in New York at the police station, the Police

Captain enters Lieutenant Washington’s office.
Washington is speaking to a newspaper reporter on the
phone

- …The investigation is making progress…I can’t

answer that question…Yes, we are working with
Interpol…Yes...No… Good bye.
Lieutenant Washington turns to the captain.

- Washington: That was the tenth telephone call today.

- Captain: Progress on the investigation, I hear.

- Washington: Some. We know that the Moon of India

and Richardson’s killer are on the ship. We think the
killer wants to sell it when The Princess arrives in
Marseille.

- Captain: Who is the killer?

- Washington: We think we know but we are not sure

yet.

- Captain: We’d better find out soon, The Museum wants

the necklace back. And I want to find the killer.

- Washington: We are doing our best sir. We have one of

our best officers on that ship.
Thousands of miles away on the ship the sun is shining.
Agatha, Cristina, Frank and Robert are sitting by the
swimming pool. Cristina is reading a newspaper.
-Cristina: This is very interesting.

- Agatha: What is it dear?

- Cristina: The Moon of India is still missing from the

City Museum.

- Agatha: Cristina works for the City Museum, Frank.

- Frank: Yes, Cristina told me yesterday that her

specialty is Egyptian art.

-Robert: Do you know the Moon of India Cristina?

- Cristina: Yes, but it wasn’t in my department so I

didn’t see it often. Listen to this: “The famous necklace
disappeared from the museum the night of April 16th.
Museum employees discovered the loss early the next
morning. The police are working on the investigation day
and night”.

-Frank: What does it say about the necklace?

- Cristina: The Moon of India has 45 perfect diamonds.

It was a wedding present for the princess of Aipur in
1771.

- Frank: Wow!

- Cristina: The necklace is worth more than 4 million

dollars!

- Robert: Four million dollars! That’s a lot of money!

- Agatha: Yes! An incredible amount of money!

Lucy arrives in a swimsuit.
