Gouin may be a brilliant man in his field, but, according to Maigret, he doesn't understand "what makes people tick".

00:00The End
00:12Change of dressing first thing in the morning. She should have a comfortable night.
00:15Dr Longman, the patient DuPont.
00:17What's the answer, sir?
00:18The operation will be successful, but he'll be dead within a year.
00:21I've decided not to operate.
00:22Yes, Professor.
00:23I want him kept under constant observation.
00:24If there's any change, particularly in the breathing,
00:26a report at once.
00:27I shall be on call, sir.
00:28Doctor DuPont.
00:33We'd better get back to the patient, nurse.
00:35I've never heard such a brilliant diagnosis.
00:38There's only one, Professor Gouin.
00:41No one else in the world can guarantee that poor fellow a month.
00:46If he lasts through the night without my ministrations, he'll live to be 90.
00:58I can't make love to you in the military overall.
01:12No.
01:13Oh, what's the matter with you?
01:15No, Etienne, please.
01:17Louise.
01:18I...
01:20I want to talk to you about Louise.
01:23I can't think why.
01:24Will it be your child?
01:27Possibly.
01:30I don't seem to make any difference to us.
01:33Why should it?
01:35No, forgive
01:47I Doubt
01:52To be continued...
01:53¶¶
02:22Hello. You're back early.
02:41Pinewoods.
02:42Oh. I've been polishing the furniture.
02:45No, it's all right. I haven't touched your desk.
02:47No.
02:47Why have you come back, Ellie? Did you forget something?
02:50No, the commissioner wants a special departmental report.
02:53All done by tomorrow. I'll never get it done in the office.
02:56Are you going to use the table?
02:57Yes, and the floor.
02:58I'll take care of the table. I've only just polished it.
03:01Are you going to take calls?
03:02No, otherwise there'd be no point in working at home.
03:05All right, I'll leave you in peace then.
03:06Oh, madame.
03:20Oh, monsieur Luca.
03:21Well, he's very busy. I don't really like to disturb him.
03:24This is very important, madame.
03:25You'd better come in then.
03:27Come to a place.
03:28Good morning, madame.
03:29It's monsieur Luca.
03:37I said I wasn't to be disturbed for anything sort of murder.
03:39This is murder, patron.
03:41Who the devil's this?
03:43Don't tell me.
03:44Ah, Desiree, right?
03:46Yes.
03:47Desiree, bro.
03:48Yes, your beat used to be between the Place Begale and the Place Blanche.
03:52You did a little shoplifting on the side, wasn't it?
03:56Oh, that was 15 years ago.
03:57Have you taken a murder now?
03:59She found a body, patron.
04:00Do you think I'd be here to have anything to do with it?
04:02Me, with my record?
04:03All right, let's go into it. Sit down.
04:08Let's have a little brunelle.
04:10Brunelle?
04:12Now, tell me what happened.
04:14Well, a report came through this morning.
04:15The police first, please, mademoiselle.
04:18Madame, if you please. I've got a husband now.
04:20Oh, all right.
04:22Police first, madame.
04:24The matter was reported at 8-7 this morning.
04:26By me.
04:26I went to 115B Avenue Carnot and found the body of a girl on the second floor flat.
04:31Avenue Carnot?
04:32That's why I've come to you.
04:33It's a very wealthy district full of general, senators, and so on.
04:35It gets all the full treatment.
04:36We have to put up at sergeants when I come from.
04:38You all has had my full attention, madame.
04:41Go on.
04:42The body was identified as that of a young woman called Louise Fillon.
04:45She'd been shot through the head at close range.
04:47Who was she?
04:48I checked with records on the way down.
04:49She was known as a common prostitute.
04:51She moved from a small hotel in the Cipeldi's chick about six months ago.
04:54After she'd left the hospital.
04:55She'd been there three months.
04:57All right.
04:57Tell us the rest.
04:58Well, she knew me because I did the hotel and the hall and the stairs.
05:02So when she moved to this place, she said, would I care to do eight to twelve?
05:05Wanted to keep up at old times, I should think.
05:07Who paid the rent?
05:07No idea.
05:09You never saw any man about?
05:10Not to say.
05:11See?
05:12Or what to say?
05:13Well, a man's dressing gown and slippers in the cupboard and a box of cigars in the drawer.
05:17She didn't smoke them.
05:18You never saw who did?
05:19Nope.
05:20Did you find anything?
05:21Not much.
05:21He was a mean devil, whoever he was.
05:23Never bought her anything.
05:25No nice clothes, no jewellery, not even a box of chocolates.
05:28Money?
05:29Oh, and she never seemed to have much.
05:30These seem to be all of personal effects.
05:37First certificate.
05:42Get on to her parents.
05:44Good.
05:49Wanted a fair, I should think.
05:59Who's here?
06:00According to the concierge, he used to visit her in the afternoons.
06:03What's his name?
06:04I wouldn't know, only doing mornings.
06:06Now, you knew her before she moved, yes?
06:08Only to say good morning to.
06:10Come on, Desiree.
06:12If he knew her before she moved, he'll find out.
06:16You wouldn't like us to think that you were hiding anything, would you?
06:19After all, you found the body.
06:21Police.
06:21Ha!
06:23I might have known it.
06:25You tried to help them, they'd turn on you.
06:27What's his name?
06:29Pierre.
06:29Plays the piano.
06:30Where?
06:31In a nightclub called Le Grilot.
06:33He wanted to marry her.
06:34He doesn't pay her rent, hmm?
06:35Oh, it's just no use asking me, because I don't know.
06:37Where's the dressing gown, his?
06:38Oh, dare say he wore it.
06:40All right, Desiree, you can go.
06:42Well, what about expenses?
06:43I've gone out of my way.
06:44No, Luke, I'll run you back.
06:45All right, come on, then.
06:46I'm ready.
06:46Wait a moment.
06:49Is there any sign of a weapon?
06:51You think I'm going to wait all morning.
06:52You're wrong.
06:53No weapon.
06:57The concierge says this chap, Pierre, visited her at 10 o'clock last night.
07:00Do we know what time she died?
07:01Between 9 and 11.
07:02All right, you better pick her up.
07:03Right away?
07:04Yep, why not?
07:05What about this other man?
07:06Oh, yes, I've been you can't know.
07:08He could be someone pretty big.
07:10Well, I'll worry about that.
07:11You find Pierre.
07:12Good.
07:12No, leave those.
07:13Right.
07:13Well, you'll be in to lunch.
07:28I've no intention of going out to lunch.
07:43I'm just going over to take a look at the Avenue Carnault.
08:06All right, lunch is at one.
08:08Right, well, I may be a little bit late.
08:13I'll be in to lunch.
08:28Madam?
08:30Are you the concierge?
08:31Yes.
08:32There's nothing new.
08:33They took the body away hours ago.
08:35Oh, please.
08:36I thought you were the press.
08:38Please come in.
08:39I've just been up there.
08:41It's dreadful.
08:42Simply dreadful.
08:44You can imagine what I've had to put up with.
08:47But it's Inspector Ray Gray, isn't it?
08:50It's a nice place you've got here.
08:51It's a nice district.
08:52Do sit down.
08:53Oh, thank you.
08:54No, I won't be long.
08:55Are all these leases, all these flats on leases?
08:58Three years minimum.
09:00I see.
09:00Did Louise Philon have a three-year lease?
09:03Well, you'll have to ask the agents.
09:06They represent a well-known financier.
09:08Did you pay by check?
09:09Come now.
09:12You must know who paid the rent, don't you?
09:15The name on the cheque is Gouin.
09:17Gouin.
09:17Who is he?
09:18Professor Gouin.
09:20The surgeon?
09:21He's a wonderful man.
09:22Ma'am, as I feel, on was a patient.
09:24She rescued her from death.
09:26See, and installed her here to look after her?
09:30Professor Gouin resides with his wife in the flat above.
09:33Is his wife aware of his interest in an old patient?
09:35It was presumed so.
09:36Otherwise.
09:37Otherwise?
09:38Well, he need not have brought her to this block.
09:40Hmm.
09:41I believe you know this man.
09:46Pierre.
09:47Yes?
09:48Did he come up here at ten o'clock last night?
09:51That's right.
09:52Came down again shortly afterwards?
09:53That's right.
09:54Where is the professor at this time?
09:56He came back from the hospital at six and left again at eight.
09:59His assistant called for him.
10:00I heard her say it was an urgent case.
10:02Hmm.
10:03When did he return?
10:04Just before midnight.
10:05Well.
10:07Yeah?
10:07I didn't actually see him, but, uh...
10:09How do you know?
10:10Well, sometimes his sister-in-law spends the evening here.
10:13When she does, she always leaves when he comes back.
10:16Last night, she left at midnight.
10:18I see.
10:20Thank you, madame.
10:21Uh, Courtney.
10:22Courtney.
10:24If Professor Gouin or madame Gouin would like to get in touch with the police,
10:27ask them to telephone headquarters and ask for Sergeant Luca.
10:30I will tell them.
10:31They may prefer to speak to you.
10:33Sergeant Luca is thoroughly competent.
10:40There, there, there, there.
10:55Go easy there.
10:57Go easy there.
11:10Go easy?
11:11Loads of good chairs.
11:13Why knock them about like that?
11:14Think I'm made of money?
11:16Ah, good runner club.
11:18I must be mad.
11:19It's enough to drive you clean round the bend.
11:21Now, where's this man, Pierre?
11:22He should have been here an hour ago.
11:24We have nothing but trouble.
11:25Oh, relax.
11:26No, he'll be here.
11:27Oh, let's have a drink.
11:28Let's have a drink.
11:29I'll give you all my life.
11:35He coming down now?
11:39No, he isn't.
11:41We thought you were a new accordion.
11:42He's come for an audition.
11:43No, no, I'm not.
11:45What do you breed in this joint?
11:47Police, eh?
11:49That's right.
11:50I thought as much.
11:51I'd have guessed you were a copper a mile away.
11:54What do you want?
11:55Nothing that you've got.
11:56Oh, come on.
11:57Be friendly.
11:57We've nothing to hide.
11:58This is a well-run place.
12:00Have a glass of wine.
12:01What can we do for you?
12:07Your name, Pierre?
12:11Might be.
12:12Funny man, eh?
12:13Surname?
12:14Iro.
12:15Let's have your papers.
12:17Come on, come on.
12:21Born in 41
12:23And given away
12:25To a nun
12:27Father's name unknown
12:31Mother's profession known
12:35Everything else you'll find
12:39Upon your file
12:41All right, Caruso.
12:43When were you last inside?
12:46Eighteen months ago
12:48Immoral earnings
12:51If you really want to know
12:55Louise Fillon's earnings?
12:59No.
13:01Not that direct night.
13:02When did you see her last?
13:04What's all this about then?
13:06Did you see her last night?
13:07Pierre was here last night.
13:08All the time?
13:08What do you mean?
13:09I mean all the time, between nine and eleven.
13:10You know, they're very cunning, these policemen.
13:14Yes, I went there.
13:15So what?
13:16What time did you see her last night?
13:18Come on, answer my question.
13:20She phoned me.
13:21What about?
13:23She's dead.
13:26What'd you say?
13:27Shot through the head between nine and eleven last night.
13:32Hold it.
13:36You have a little explaining to do.
14:06Get out of here.
16:36He's very busy, but you'd better come in.
16:43Dr. Paul.
16:45Oh, well, let's have some beer.
16:46Will you go in?
16:52Hello, doctor.
16:55Well, what's the trouble?
16:57Sorry to disturb you, but Luca was not in your office.
16:59And your telephone seems to be out of water.
17:02Oh, yes.
17:02I left the receiver off.
17:04Is he still looking for the young man?
17:07There was one point of considerable interest in the post-mortem on Louise Fillon.
17:10I thought I'd better come and tell you straight away.
17:13She was pregnant.
17:14Was she?
17:15How many months?
17:16Six weeks.
17:17No more.
17:18Certain?
17:19Quite certain.
17:20I confirmed that death occurred between nine and eleven last night and was caused by a small caliber pistol fired from about three meters.
17:27Here's your beer.
17:29Come on, have some beer, doctor.
17:30Thanks.
17:38Doctor, what do you know about Professor Etienne Gouin?
17:43Gouin?
17:45Well, he's the finest surgeon in France.
17:47Some of his techniques are in use all over the world.
17:51Do you know him personally?
17:52Well, I've met him at conferences.
17:53What's he like?
17:55Utilized.
17:56Utilized dedicated.
17:57Why?
17:57This girl was his mistress.
18:02Gouin?
18:05Really.
18:06You don't find that hard to believe?
18:07I'm afraid I have heard rumors about his behavior with women, but mind you, I've always just counted them.
18:12Well, there's obviously something to it.
18:15Do you really think so?
18:17Oh, some people are only too anxious to drag great men down to their own devil.
18:21Yes, I agree, but it's not very pleasant to associate a great man with this sort of thing.
18:25But there's something unique about Gouin and his accomplishments.
18:29Right, and for that very reason, I don't much like the idea of dragging him down.
18:35After all, he did pay Louise his rent and he lives in the flat above.
18:39I'm not suggesting that he killed Royal.
18:40No.
18:41I should hope not, indeed.
18:43And even if...
18:44Even if he did, yes.
18:47There are far too few great surgeons in the world.
18:50Speaking as an ordinary doctor...
18:51There you go here.
18:58Luca?
18:58Yeah.
19:00I see.
19:02Ah, well.
19:03Well, yes, you'd better keep on trying.
19:08All right.
19:11Luca's still trying to find Pierre, the girl's other lover.
19:15Had quite a chase, apparently.
19:16Is he your chief suspect?
19:18He was, but...
19:20Now I don't know.
19:24Can you give me a lift over to the Avenue, Caldwell?
19:26Certainly, yes.
19:27No, finish your beer.
19:28Well, I'm going.
19:42Won't you come in?
19:44I wondered when you'd come.
19:47You know who I am?
19:48Of course.
19:48You were downstairs earlier.
19:50I'm afraid the maid is out this afternoon.
19:54It's really your husband I wanted to see.
19:56Oh, he's at the hospital.
19:57In the theatre for the next two hours.
20:00I'm glad you've come.
20:02I was going to phone you.
20:03What about?
20:04This business.
20:05All right.
20:07You knew the young girl?
20:08Yes.
20:09Oh, well.
20:10I'd only seen her once.
20:13I knew, of course, that my husband had installed her here,
20:15and one night, about two months ago,
20:17she rang through in a state of panic.
20:19What was the trouble?
20:20He'd collapsed in her sitting room.
20:22I went down and gave first aid.
20:23It was what people call a heart attack.
20:25Did you call a doctor?
20:26There was no need.
20:27Why?
20:28I was a nurse before we married.
20:30I see.
20:31Was your husband in love with the young woman?
20:33That's the question I was going to ask you, Inspector.
20:36Do sit down, would you?
20:39May I tell you about my husband?
20:41Please do.
20:43He is, as you may know, a very great surgeon.
20:47Probably the greatest in France.
20:49So you think a lot can be forgiven him?
20:51I think so.
20:52What is his name kept out of the papers?
20:54Is it possible?
20:55Thank you, no.
20:58You asked me if he was in love with Louise Philon.
21:02The fact is that my husband needs women, as other men need drink.
21:08Was it your idea that she should move here?
21:09Yes, as a matter of fact, it was.
21:13Did you know that she'd been seeing a lot of a nightclub pianist?
21:16I listened to the midday news, but that was the first I'd heard of him.
21:19Oh, it didn't surprise me.
21:20In fact, if I'd known, on the whole, I'd have thought it was a good thing.
21:23I mean that she should be happy.
21:24Should your husband know?
21:26I don't know.
21:27It isn't important.
21:27He would have taken the same view.
21:29Did your sister know?
21:31I'm sorry?
21:33Your sister.
21:34She was here last night.
21:36Did she know what was going on?
21:37I'm very fond of my sister.
21:39She's the elder and she helped to bring me up, but she isn't...
21:42Well, she doesn't get on very well with my husband.
21:46Did she know about Louise Philon?
21:49I don't know.
21:50I think she may have guessed something.
21:52I may have told her something.
21:53Did she see your husband last night?
21:55Oh, no.
21:55She likes to go before he comes back.
21:57What time have you come back?
21:58What time?
21:58That's the question.
22:00I really don't know.
22:02We have separate rooms.
22:03Separate rooms?
22:04Yes.
22:05Was it before or after your sister left?
22:07My sister came because she knew that Etienne would be out.
22:10There was family business to discuss.
22:11I went to bed before she left.
22:14She has only a one-room flat and she likes to sit here reading or knitting.
22:18I see.
22:19What's your sister's name, madame?
22:21Olivier.
22:23Antoinette Olivier.
22:24Thank you, madame.
22:25I won't keep you any longer.
22:29When did you first know that the girl was pregnant?
22:33Spectre, you're telling me something that I didn't know.
22:35Well, I think about it.
22:38Yes.
22:39It needs thinking about it.
22:51Where will I find your sister, madame?
22:53She's the librarian in the Place Saint-Soupice.
22:56Although the door is open, this is a private room.
23:19I'm Inspector McRae of Police Judicial.
23:21I see.
23:23And may I ask what you want with me?
23:26Your sister told me that you call on her last night.
23:28That is so.
23:30You spent the evening with her and left about midnight?
23:33It was 12.30 by the time I got home.
23:35I left when a certain individual came back.
23:38Do you often spend the evening with your sister?
23:40Not very often.
23:42She invited you?
23:43My sister telephoned me to say that her husband would be out.
23:46Why?
23:47What did he tell you?
23:48I haven't interviewed him yet.
23:50I assumed that you knew this woman in the lower flat was his mistress.
23:54There wasn't much of a secret.
23:55I suppose you haven't interviewed him because he's a famous surgeon,
23:58member of the Academy of Medicine and so on.
24:00There's half a page of it.
24:02I gathered you don't like him.
24:04I shall try not to be vindictive,
24:05but I've seen this coming for years.
24:07Put them here.
24:13Did you know that the girl was pregnant?
24:16It doesn't surprise me.
24:18Did your sister mention it?
24:19We never discussed the girl.
24:21Did you see him when he came in last night?
24:24Briefly.
24:24What impression did he give?
24:26The same impression that he always gives.
24:28What's that?
24:28That of a man who considers himself above the ordinary laws of decency and morality.
24:39Do you think that he killed Louise Villon?
24:42Who else?
24:43It might have been her young lover, Pierre.
24:45I think not.
24:47Why?
24:47Well, from his point of view, the whole arrangement was highly convenient.
24:51He might have been jealous.
24:52Do you imagine that Etienne Gouin wasn't jealous, too?
24:56He has his pride, you know.
24:57Don't you think that a man of his age would be furious when he saw a girl preferring a younger man?
25:02Did she?
25:03If you were to read the classics, you might understand a little more about human nature.
25:07He's been paying for this gutter snipe for six months, and then he discovers she's having a younger man's child.
25:13When did he learn that?
25:15I don't know.
25:17How long have you known that the girl was pregnant?
25:19For about three minutes.
25:21I know it's not only me to tell you your duty, but it's quite obvious.
25:25This man has no regard for human life.
25:27I thought he devoted himself to saving it.
25:29Oh, he's devoted to his own reputation.
25:31That's why he only undertakes difficult cases.
25:33Perhaps because other doctors can do the easy ones.
25:36Even you are falling for the myth.
25:38They all do.
25:39It may make you more charitable to know that the crime is committed between nine and eleven.
25:45Professor Gouin left his apartment at eight, and by your own evidence, did not return till midnight.
25:51I have often wondered when he says he's working late at the hospital what he's really up to.
25:57Your imagination is evidently highly developed.
25:59And no doubt you are taught not to use your imagination.
26:01I can understand that.
26:03But it really is completely beyond my comprehension why you haven't had this man to your headquarters for questioning.
26:08No doubt because he's a...
26:09I don't think you should say what you're about to say, Mademoiselle Olivier.
26:14Thank you for your advice.
26:16I accept it.
26:17As I am only a petty functionary of the state looking for a pension in six years' time, I shall say no more.
26:23Then that'll be all for the moment.
26:40I don't know.
27:10One moment, please.
27:34Just coming.
27:40Inspector Megui.
27:45May I come in?
27:47Yes, of course.
27:49I didn't want to intrude at the hospital.
27:53You'd have found it difficult.
27:56I've been in the operating theatre for the last two hours.
27:59Am I holding you up?
28:00I just started running a bath. There's no hurry.
28:03Please come in.
28:10Oh, excuse me.
28:14You attend Professor Gua's operations?
28:17Always.
28:18Always?
28:19Well, for the last ten years.
28:21Originally, I was his pupil.
28:23Did you attend him last night?
28:25Yes, there was an emergency call.
28:27What time was it?
28:28I picked him up outside his apartment at about eight.
28:31I suppose we reached the hospital, what, thirty minutes later?
28:34And what time did you finish?
28:35I must have driven him home towards midnight.
28:45When you reached the hospital, what happened then?
28:48Well, he examined the patient.
28:50It was decided not to operate unless his condition became critical.
28:54He did it?
28:55No, he didn't operate.
28:57He stayed in the ward all this time?
28:59No.
29:00Well, where did he go?
29:02He has an office at his disposal.
29:05Did he remain there all the time?
29:07Yes, he did.
29:08Are you sure of that?
29:10I was with him.
29:11Could you prove that?
29:13Why don't you ask Professor Gua.
29:16Could the house doctor bear you out?
29:18People in hospitals have more to do than spy on each other.
29:23When did you first know that Louise Fillon had been murdered?
29:29At midday.
29:30I read the paper in the doctor's restroom.
29:32Did you tell the professor?
29:33No, I had my notes to do.
29:35Did you mention it to him when you drove him home?
29:38Yes.
29:39Yes, I did.
29:40What did he say?
29:42He was not in a communicative mood.
29:44Do you think that he took her life?
29:47I was present when he saved her life, last year.
29:52We were in the operating theatre for five hours.
29:55He was proud of his achievement.
29:57You think fast, Dr Ducot.
29:59You've jumped two of my questions.
30:01But you get my point.
30:03Is it true that your relationship with the professor is not entirely a professional?
30:09Are you as middle class as you sound, Inspector?
30:13Dr Ducot.
30:14If my parents could have afforded it, I should have been a doctor.
30:19As it is, I'm a policeman.
30:21Nothing that you can tell me will shock me.
30:23But like a doctor, I prefer to proceed step by step.
30:27First, is your relationship other than professional?
30:31And then, are you lovers?
30:33You know, I think you ought to be talking to Professor Gouin.
30:36You would appreciate each other.
30:38And I'll please answer the question.
30:40I admire the professor more than any other human being on earth.
30:46We're often together for long periods.
30:49Between operations or travelling together in the provinces or abroad.
30:54Yes, Inspector.
30:56There are moments when our relationship is other than professional.
30:59How do you get on with his wife?
31:01Germaine.
31:02She looks upon me as a sort of servant.
31:04She was a nurse and I'm a doctor.
31:06She has to maintain her position in her own eyes.
31:08It isn't a happy marriage.
31:10Let's say Germaine couldn't make him unhappy.
31:14Could Louise?
31:15No, not in my opinion.
31:18He wouldn't leave his wife to marry Louise?
31:21I'm sure not.
31:22To marry you?
31:23He's never thought of it.
31:26Have you?
31:27No, Monsieur Maigret, I have no intention of marrying.
31:30Not even Etienne.
31:32What about Louise?
31:33Had she?
31:34I don't know her well enough.
31:36I didn't know her well enough.
31:38You knew she was pregnant?
31:40Yes, I did.
31:42When?
31:43A few days ago.
31:44Who told you?
31:45He mentioned the fact.
31:47Or rather, he said, quite casually and quite ironically,
31:50I believe Louise is pregnant.
31:52And what did you say?
31:54Nothing.
31:56Let me skip a few questions.
31:58Did I kill Louise?
31:59No, Inspector.
32:01Look, I'm sure you've got a lot more questions and my bath's getting cold,
32:03so let me try and answer them for you.
32:05You suspect that my alibi for Etienne and Etienne's for me could be motivated by our functional need for each other.
32:12You're looking for a motive.
32:14A motive for passion.
32:16And you come up against the difficulty of defining love.
32:20Oh, yes, in police court language, I loved Etienne.
32:24So did his mistress, so does his wife, and for all I know, so do ten other women,
32:27half of whom will tell you that they hate him.
32:29He's a force of nature.
32:31And nature protects her children.
32:33She protects them against bourgeois mentality, against police inquisition, against...
32:37And against themselves?
32:41Yes, I'm sorry.
32:43You realise that I shall have to interview the professor?
32:47I'm not his protector.
32:49Thank you, Dr. Ditko.
32:54You've been most helpful.
33:00Three hours and nothing's come through here. Check with the railway police again.
33:03You must have jumped the trail in that marshalling yard.
33:05Oh, confound that...
33:07Oh, that...
33:08...glorified telephone boy around here.
33:10Take that down to dispatch on your way. Now, come on, get wheeling.
33:12If you're here for night, watch this job, let me know.
33:15Hello, Luca.
33:16Oh, Patron.
33:18Well, I was in the duty room spreading the net to pick up Pierre.
33:22Yes, Patron.
33:25Professor Gouin.
33:28Dr. Ditko.
33:29Good. Right away.
33:31My lucky day.
33:32Communications.
33:35Come on, come on, come on.
33:36Ah, Jacques.
33:37Tap in on all in-going and out-going calls.
33:39Professor Gouin.
33:401-1-5-B-Avenue-Carnot.
33:42And Dr. Ditko.
33:431-5-3.
33:44Rue Desaclasse.
33:45Everything on tape.
33:46What?
33:47Yeah, but...
33:48Now, look, this is urgent.
33:49Priority plus.
33:50So get cracking!
33:52Don't lose your sense of humor, Luca.
33:53Look up!
34:06And then he asked me if I killed Louise.
34:09Did he expect to frighten you into a confession?
34:11No, no, he doesn't work like that.
34:14He's as patient as a doctor listening to symptoms.
34:17Well, we'll discuss it when we meet.
34:20Don't worry.
34:21Everything will be all right.
34:23I hope so.
34:25At what time in the morning?
34:278 o'clock.
34:28He's here.
34:29I'll be there.
34:30What?
34:31Yeah, the musician.
34:32Sleep well.
34:33Oh, bring him in.
34:34Where'd you find him?
34:35He didn't.
34:36I came by myself.
34:37Oh, is that a beggar?
34:38I'm pleased to see you.
34:40Here you come.
34:41Yeah.
34:42Do you think you could find some beer and sandwiches?
34:45What kind?
34:46Oh, better make him chicken.
34:47They won't run away.
34:50Now then.
34:51Look, I didn't kill her.
34:52No.
34:53You believe me?
34:54Yes, I think so.
34:55I swear I didn't kill her.
34:56All right, sit down.
34:58You can smoke if you want to.
35:00Now, let's start at the beginning.
35:03Was she alive when you called to see her last night?
35:06Of course.
35:07Mm-hmm.
35:08And when she telephoned you, did she say what she wanted?
35:11No.
35:12I thought I knew.
35:14I thought she decided to pack it all in and come away with me.
35:17And you asked her to?
35:18Come on, look.
35:19I begged her to.
35:21I loved her.
35:23And what did she want to tell you?
35:26I think you know.
35:27Mm-hmm.
35:28Do you think the child was yours?
35:30I would have made it mine because it was hers.
35:32Was she glad about it?
35:35I don't know.
35:36She was odd.
35:37She didn't seem to be able to make up her mind what to do.
35:41What might she have done?
35:43She might have married me or married the old man.
35:46He's not as old as that.
35:47He's 55 at least.
35:48Would he have married her?
35:49I don't know.
35:50She seemed to think he wanted to divorce his wife.
35:53Was that what she wanted?
35:55No.
35:56No, but she was frightened of being hungry again.
35:59She would have been with you.
36:00We would have managed.
36:02So nothing was decided?
36:03No, I'd get back to work.
36:07If she had suddenly said to you that she was going to marry the professor,
36:11would you have killed her?
36:13Perhaps.
36:14I don't know.
36:15But not with a gun.
36:17In fury, in despair.
36:20I loved her.
36:21Beer's coming up.
36:22Another tape.
36:23Same address?
36:24Yeah.
36:25Five minutes ago.
36:26Wait outside, please.
36:27Why?
36:28Sir, I have time to call off the hunt.
36:31Otherwise, first officer that sees you will bring you straight back here.
36:33You couldn't catch me before.
36:35Don't drink my beer on the way up.
36:37Look, there's one thing.
36:38Yeah?
36:39She's got no parents and no relatives.
36:40I'd like to see if she's buried properly with her name on a stone.
36:52All right.
36:53If there's no other claimant, you shall have her.
36:56Okay.
36:57There won't be.
36:58All right.
36:59Look up.
37:00Let's hear it.
37:01Professor Gohan.
37:02You don't know me.
37:03I'm a friend.
37:04Speak up.
37:05Who are you?
37:06Someone who went into Louise's room this morning.
37:07Desiree Boet.
37:08I found something there.
37:09I found a pistol.
37:10Your pistol.
37:11I thought you might like a gun.
37:12I got a gun.
37:13You're the best.
37:14You're the best.
37:15You're the best.
37:16You're the best.
37:17You're the best.
37:18I got a gun.
37:19You're the best.
37:20You're the best.
37:21I got a gun.
37:22You're the best.
37:23You're the best.
37:24I got to help you.
37:25your pistol I thought you might like to have it back the right price would you like to buy it from
37:33me no answer from the professor no pick up that blackmailing old hag we want that gun
37:41yes I see did she I see all right I'll come over no now what was that that was the professor
38:00reporting the call from Desiree lucky for him yes what's his gun though no good thanks
38:07he wants to see me I should have thought you'd have wanted to see him before now
38:14there's always plenty of excuses for putting off the things that you don't want to do
38:18I like my great men to be great
38:23all right I'll go it's a police police
38:36I rang them I could deal with them no doubt but I will
38:41but you must be so tired a lot of questions I'll only have to answer them in the end
38:46will you wait in the drawing room with Etienne in the drawing room
39:06inspector make room good evening try to put your head somewhere thank you you go in
39:17it's good of you to come you'll sit there thank you
39:24if you want to make notes too but may I say at once wouldn't it be more rational to question
39:30me rather than bothering Dr Decoe say that I bothered her perhaps that's the wrong way of
39:36putting it oh I think that Dr Decoe must be your closest colleague she's my assistant women like to
39:46convince themselves of their importance she in love with you professor the extent that she'd be
39:53in love with any superior as long as he was famous I got the impression that she'd commit
39:58perjury for your sake without a moment's hesitation my wife has also been in touch with you and she
40:03told you I'd like Dr Decoe should tell me of her conversation with her have you dealt with a
40:06bratwoman I'm expecting a call about her any moment my assistant Luca will call me here when did you
40:12miss the automatic I didn't miss it it was kept in this cabin loaded I can't be sure there was
40:17ammunition I bought it for five years ago when I thought I'd be operating in Indochina I didn't go
40:21mm-hmm were you summoned it a few practice shots at the time four or five I've forgotten all about
40:28it until this woman demanded money what did you say to her nothing I rang you did you tell your wife
40:33well she advised me to come to terms did she women like to cast themselves in the role of protector we
40:39mustn't think of them as rational beings no no I agree I'm glad you understand my wife seems very
40:46understanding too according to her she wasn't jealous of the girl below you believe I'm was
40:50you pretending she may was a nurse when I married her why did you marry her professor were you in love
40:58with her I thought she'd make an excellent wife hmm and what did you got to offer her one dish be Etienne
41:06Gohan's widow according to your wife she suggested that Louise feeling I should move here yes so she
41:13did I I never thought I never thought of it um I didn't even know the flat was vacant were you in love
41:19with Louise professor that's the second time you've used that word love is a term which does not
41:25define anything known to science well let me help you to define the relationship were you jealous of
41:30Pierre I would prefer that he never existed and what were the girls feelings towards you naturally she
41:37spoke of affection and gratitude but the truth is simpler than that she didn't want to be poor again
41:44hmm was she in love with Pierre his system on the word I should say that she she needed a
41:51sentimental attachment you know women who like to complicate their lives perfect perplex
41:55themselves and believe that they have a choice hmm were you ever afraid that she
41:59would leave you she came to be thinking of it from time to time and were you ever afraid she
42:04might know have you made any provision for her a life policy in her favor you also made
42:11out of life insurance in favor of dr. deco there was no need when I die shall attach yourself to my
42:16successor hello so it's for you thank you would you rather take it to the hall yes I would thank you
42:31good evening madam good evening inspector
42:40is there another extension here my wife's room shall I thank you no
42:50hello Luca I've got the automatic I sent it over to the technicians for checking I got the bro
42:59woman here making a statement when she's finished I'll take her over to headquarters and have her
43:02charged where are you speaking from the but in your police station number central two three five seven
43:08twenty three fifty seven now wait there Luca for a call from me I shall need your help in making an
43:15a diagnosis we're taught to eliminate all possible alternatives before making a statement yes but
43:44don't you find halfway through a diagnosis that you have a sort of instinct what the answer is
43:49going to be yes of course the man's experience yourself to be able to take shortcuts not allowed
43:53to a student whereas in your case once you made an incision it's too late for second thoughts yes I
44:00see you're entitled to put more faith in instinct however an arrest isn't fatal as always a trial
44:05exactly I have much more latitude still a wrongful diagnosis could be harmful to your career
44:12well it depends largely on the cost to public funds public funds yes I could tell you something about
44:19that well I can I get you a drink thank you port or brandy what are these other questions you would
44:33ask if you're in my place the attitude of various people towards the girl's pregnancy you'll forgive me I
44:47don't take alcohol what was your attitude professor oh I realized I'd have to provide for the child you
44:52thought it was yours she would have sworn that it was have you ever wanted a child whatever for I see I
45:03still could ask you what Pierre thought that leaves your wife and doctor to go or was anyone else
45:09interested in the child no doctor to care my wife asked me what I intended to do your wife asked you
45:14yes she knew no I told her when or two three days ago I said I should recognize the child that's all
45:20there was to it was she very upset yes she was upset there any need to tell her so soon well I I suppose
45:28not it gave you a subtle satisfaction to upset your wife and your assistant hmm perhaps either of these
45:37women might have terminated your association with the girl why should you that's what happened they
45:42both hated her and they both may have had the idea but people capable of putting such ideas into
45:46practice are rare fortunately for you I must ask you professor if you killed Louise Philo we'll ask me
45:54that ever since you came here if that is your diagnosis it is incorrect doctor to coke and give me a
45:59perfect alibi so your assistant may have a use after all I've never doubted her usefulness no you knew
46:06that she would perjure herself for your sake so she's not able to give you an alibi hmm I have
46:12to admit that you may be surprised to know that she avoided my direct questions what happened last
46:19night at the hospital professor I saw my patient return to my room at what time nine I saw my desk
46:24clock and the high surgeon had instructions to fetch me under certain circumstances and did he an hour
46:31later sure of that I am sure of that doctor love manly sure of it too we proceeded to the ward
46:37inspected the patient that took half an hour during the previous hour I was with doctor to come
46:43can you prove that not if you don't believe her was doctor to go with you and not allowing man came to
46:51fetch you she saw doctor long man he did not see her she was partly undressed so she hid behind the door
46:57I realize I've been foolish enough to put my trust in a woman who fears public opinion
47:04I'll come down to headquarters with you inspector I assume you'll allow me to telephone my lawyer
47:09professor it was you who suggested that I eliminate alternatives will you let me do that
47:15expert evidence shows that louise filon died between nine and eleven pierre saw her at ten
47:20time and when he says that she was alive when he saw her I accept that because they were in love
47:26that is a term acceptable to a policeman luckily for you I also accept your explanation that doctor
47:34to go hid behind your office door at 10 30. you then spent 25 minutes in the ward
47:42so you couldn't possibly have got back from the hospital to here in time to shoot louise
47:45you'd have made an excellent diagnostician do you mind if I make a note of the times they're
47:49meaningless unless you also accept my diagnosis of human nature may you use your telephone of
47:56course I'll get you another drink
47:58I'll get back to headquarters and ask the prosecutor's office to make out a warrant for the arrest of
48:18antoinette olivier chief librarian sans for peace the charge is murder by shooting of louise filon
48:25instinct three women had access to your automatic your wife dr deco and your sister-in-law antoinette
48:38now although you don't accept the meaning of the word love only one of those women really hated you
48:43antoinette the automatic was left by the body now a woman who loved you might indeed have killed that
48:51girl but would she also try to incriminate you you're quite wrong inspector i killed louise even
49:03may gray can make a mistake i hate him too far far more than antoinette ever could do you hear that
49:10etienne i hate you i did love him once though he doesn't know the meaning of the word because i loved
49:19him i was ready to put up with everything his coldness his cruelty even his women all of them
49:27until you came to me and told me that this girl was going to have a child
49:31and that you were going to recognize it without even knowing or caring whether it was yours or not
49:37you knew i always wanted a child and it was hers it wasn't even yours
49:43that's why i killed louise oh god i wish it had been you you stupid job men antoinette will never
