You! Search every corner!
Collect any evidence!
Watch the doors
without arousing suspicion!
Now, you! Be careful how you answer:
A prisoner of state has just escaped.
He's taken refuge here.
He may still be here.
Where's the Attavanti chapel?
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
It's here - but it's open!
There's another key!
|
| Scarpia
|
|
|
A clue.... Go in.
The cannon shot was a mistake!
The scoundrel has flown the roost.
But he left a valuable clue: a fan!
He had help with this plan.
The Marchesa Attavanti!
Her Crest...
This is her portrait!
Who painted it?
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
Cavalier Cavaradossi.
(Seeing the empty basket)
Good Lord! The basket!
|
| Scarpia
|
|
|
Tosca's lover! A suspect.
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
It's empty!
|
| Scarpia
|
|
|
This basket was found in the chapel.
You recognize it?
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
Certainly.
It belongs to the painter, but -
|
| Scarpia
|
|
|
Spit it out!
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
When I left, it was full of excellent food.
It was the painter's meal.
|
| Scarpia
|
|
|
He must have eaten it.
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
Not in the chapel!
He didn't have a key.
And he said he wasn't hungry.
So I put it over there.
|
| Scarpia
|
|
|
It's quite clear. Angelotti ate the food.
