That... that means level with the bed. 56 00:07:38,929 --> 00:07:42,001 - It's never been set that way. Never. - Oh? 57 00:07:42,224 --> 00:07:45,739 But that would... squeeze the metal to nothing. 58 00:07:47,604 --> 00:07:50,482 It's been set for single strokes, too. 59 00:07:51,650 --> 00:07:54,448 She didn't know how to operate the press. 60 00:07:55,613 --> 00:07:58,889 - Are you sure this is your brother? - Well, he... 61 00:07:59,617 --> 00:08:03,815 There was a long scar on his left leg, a war wound. I'll... 62 00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:06,195 - Would you mind? - Doctor. 63 00:08:30,899 --> 00:08:33,367 I can't believe it. 64 00:08:33,568 --> 00:08:35,798 Can you think of a reason why she would do this? 65 00:08:35,987 --> 00:08:38,581 None. Absolutely none. 66 00:08:39,741 --> 00:08:41,971 They were completely happy together. 67 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,994 They have a wonderful little boy, Philippe, whom they both adore. 68 00:08:46,248 --> 00:08:50,002 H�l�ne was always so gentle. It just doesn't make sense. 69 00:08:50,794 --> 00:08:53,911 Andr� loved two things: His family and his work. 70 00:08:54,131 --> 00:08:56,326 It's impossible! 71 00:08:58,927 --> 00:09:02,920 - What is it, monsieur? - The stroke count. That's the stroke count. 72 00:09:03,432 --> 00:09:07,471 - I don't understand. - Whoever did this to Andr�... 73 00:09:08,312 --> 00:09:11,031 It reads two. They did it twice! 74 00:09:11,231 --> 00:09:13,426 - Twice? - Oui, monsieur. 75 00:09:13,609 --> 00:09:16,999 I heard the press come down two times. 76 00:09:23,452 --> 00:09:27,331 - Evening, Monsieur Fran�ois. - Fran�ois, mon ami.

Inspector Charas. 80 00:09:36,132 --> 00:09:38,407 Your man called me. H�l�ne told him, so I came. 81 00:09:38,593 --> 00:09:40,788 - How is she? - Quite calm now. 82 00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:46,044 Almost in a state of euphoria, of relief, as though she's happy about it. 83 00:09:46,351 --> 00:09:50,663 - Is she insane, Doctor? - H�l�ne could never have killed her husband. 84 00:09:50,939 --> 00:09:55,057 It's impossible, unless she is or was insane. 85 00:09:55,318 --> 00:10:00,187 - Did she tell you anything? - Nothing, except she killed him... and how. 86 00:10:01,074 --> 00:10:04,032 No, nothing in her could make her do that. Nothing. 87 00:10:04,244 --> 00:10:07,475 Why, Inspector, I've known her all her life. 88 00:10:07,706 --> 00:10:10,266 I even delivered her. 89 00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:14,610 - She and Andr� were devoted to each other. - Where is Madame Delambre? 90 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,235 In the living room. 91 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,872 Fran�ois, I'm sorry I called you. As you see, I could have called the police myself. 92 00:10:29,144 --> 00:10:33,183 - I'm all right now. - H�l�ne, if there's anything I can do... 93 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,112 You are the police? 94 00:10:36,652 --> 00:10:38,847 Inspector Charas, Madame. 95 00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:41,259 H�l�ne, what's going on? 96 00:10:41,448 --> 00:10:45,123 - Why do you say you killed Andr�? Why? - It's all right, Fran�ois. 97 00:10:45,369 --> 00:10:50,079 - Everything's all right now. - Madame, would you tell us what happened? 98 00:10:50,374 --> 00:10:52,365 Of course, monsieur. 99 00:10:53,711 --> 00:10:58,387 I killed my husband Andr� Delambre about half an hour ago in the hydraulic press shed. 100 00:10:58,674 --> 00:11:02,667 You understand the gravity of the crime. You say you killed him. That means... 101 00:11:02,929 --> 00:11:05,238 ...you murdered him. 102 00:11:05,431 --> 00:11:07,342 I killed Andr�, yes. 103 00:11:08,518 --> 00:11:12,067 - Why? - I cannot answer that question. 104 00:11:12,522 --> 00:11:15,275 - How did you kill him? - With the hydraulic press. 105 00:11:15,775 --> 00:11:17,811 How do you operate it? 106 00:11:18,736 --> 00:11:23,446 First you put on the main switch, then you set the stroke to whatever tonnage you want. 107 00:11:23,742 --> 00:11:27,974 You set the stroke to maximum, that is level with the table, or zero. 108 00:11:28,246 --> 00:11:31,204 Then you press the release button. It's the red one. 109 00:11:31,666 --> 00:11:34,783 You mean you put your husband under the press? 110 00:11:35,003 --> 00:11:37,961 No, Inspector. He did that himself. 111 00:11:38,173 --> 00:11:41,290 He put his head and his arm under the press? 112 00:11:43,637 --> 00:11:45,150 Yes. 113 00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:46,863 Why? 114 00:11:47,015 --> 00:11:49,404 I cannot answer that question. 115 00:11:49,601 --> 00:11:53,310 - Coffee, Inspector? - Yes, please. 116 00:11:53,564 --> 00:11:57,557 - Gentlemen, would you wait for me outside? - Yes, of course. 117 00:12:06,327 --> 00:12:08,477 No, thank you. 118 00:12:08,662 --> 00:12:12,416 Now, Madame... You were happy with your husband. 119 00:12:12,666 --> 00:12:15,578 There were no mistresses. I had no lovers. 120 00:12:16,671 --> 00:12:19,868 We were both very happy. That is the truth. 121 00:12:20,091 --> 00:12:23,561 - Then why did you kill him? - I wish to help you all I can, Inspector. 122 00:12:23,803 --> 00:12:26,795 But I cannot answer that question. 123 00:13:29,495 --> 00:13:33,170 - You pressed the button and it was all over. - Yes. 124 00:13:33,416 --> 00:13:36,169 - Why did you press it twice? - Oh, it was only once. 125 00:13:36,377 --> 00:13:39,369 The stroke count read two. A machine cannot lie. 126 00:13:42,466 --> 00:13:45,583 Oh, yes... Yes, it was twice. 127 00:13:45,803 --> 00:13:48,397 I was wrong. I did it twice. 128 00:13:48,598 --> 00:13:50,589 Why? 129 00:13:53,811 --> 00:13:57,360 - Perhaps you will wait, Madame. - Of course, Inspector. 130 00:14:07,701 --> 00:14:11,091 - What would you advise medically, Doctor? - Uh, rest. 131 00:14:11,329 --> 00:14:14,321 Maybe in a day or two her state of mind will improve. 132 00:14:14,541 --> 00:14:17,613 Very well. You understand the lady is under surveillance. 133 00:14:17,836 --> 00:14:20,953 I'll arrange for one of our nurses to take charge of her. 134 00:14:21,173 --> 00:14:24,290 Thank you very much, Inspector. You can rely on me. 135 00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:31,225 What do you think? 136 00:14:31,391 --> 00:14:34,030 Would you show me your brother's laboratory? 137 00:14:34,228 --> 00:14:36,617 Yes, of course. This way. 138 00:14:57,293 --> 00:14:59,761 This is the work of a madman! 139 00:14:59,962 --> 00:15:04,001 There was over $200,000 worth of special equipment here. 140 00:15:04,258 --> 00:15:07,136 Andr� was always so... so careful of everything. 141 00:15:07,345 --> 00:15:10,621 - Special equipment? What was all this for? - Well, I don't know. 142 00:15:10,848 --> 00:15:14,079 It could have been anything, any one of a dozen ideas. 143 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:18,303 Well, when he'd develop something, then he would show it to me. 144 00:15:18,564 --> 00:15:21,317 He was working on an idea for the air ministry. 145 00:15:21,526 --> 00:15:23,721 Perhaps they'd know. 146 00:15:30,785 --> 00:15:33,697 I imagine electronics is a profitable field these days. 147 00:15:33,913 --> 00:15:37,110 Yes, very. We own the business jointly. 148 00:15:37,334 --> 00:15:40,804 We both have more money than we know what to do with. 149 00:15:41,463 --> 00:15:44,136 They had no outside interests, none, I'm sure of it. 150 00:15:44,341 --> 00:15:46,730 That's why it doesn't make sense. 151 00:15:46,927 --> 00:15:49,760 You're very attached to both of them, aren't you? 152 00:15:49,972 --> 00:15:53,169 Yes. Inspector, what does all this mean? 153 00:15:53,392 --> 00:15:58,341 I've no idea. She would tell me nothing except that she'd killed him. 154 00:15:58,647 --> 00:16:02,162 There appears to be no motive, no reason, except insanity. 155 00:16:02,401 --> 00:16:06,076 And even that leaves several important questions unanswered. 156 00:16:06,322 --> 00:16:08,882 Perhaps he committed suicide. 157 00:16:09,617 --> 00:16:14,054 If he did, why does she say she killed him? And why such a clumsy method? 158 00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:17,481 And why involve your wife? And she was there. 159 00:16:18,667 --> 00:16:21,056 She could hang for this. 160 00:16:22,463 --> 00:16:24,738 Poor Philippe. 161 00:16:24,924 --> 00:16:27,961 What will I tell him? How does one tell a child? 162 00:16:28,177 --> 00:16:32,216 Well, if I may suggest, you could look after the boy for a while. 163 00:16:33,433 --> 00:16:37,028 - What's going to happen to her? - We'll keep her under observation. 164 00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:39,659 There's plenty of time. 165 00:16:40,565 --> 00:16:43,796 Did your brother ever experiment with animals? 166 00:16:44,027 --> 00:16:46,825 - Never. - Or insects? 167 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:49,305 Insects? No. 168 00:16:49,491 --> 00:16:51,482 Though that would be funny, if... 169 00:16:51,659 --> 00:16:54,935 No. H�l�ne and Andr� believed in the sacredness of life. 170 00:16:55,163 --> 00:16:57,313 They wouldn't harm anything. 171 00:16:57,499 --> 00:16:59,490 Not even a fly. 172 00:17:03,713 --> 00:17:05,704 Lunch, Madame. 173 00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:11,498 Oh, I'm eating much too much. At this rate I'll gain pounds. 174 00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:14,406 - Can I get up today? - Ask Dr. Ejoute, Madame. 175 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,989 Every time I ask him, he says tomorrow. 176 00:17:17,186 --> 00:17:20,178 You're coming along nicely. The rest will do you good. 177 00:17:20,397 --> 00:17:22,513 Is Inspector Charas coming today? 178 00:17:22,691 --> 00:17:25,205 He did not say, Madame. 179 00:17:25,402 --> 00:17:27,870 I like him. He's been very gentle. 180 00:17:30,824 --> 00:17:33,896 I hope Fran�ois brings that nice little boy today. 181 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,633 What is his name?

Please leave it alone! 190 00:18:34,014 --> 00:18:36,005 But, Nurse! 191 00:18:38,101 --> 00:18:40,410 Stop it, Nurse. Stop it! 192 00:18:40,604 --> 00:18:42,720 Leave it alone!

Now you get back into bed. 195 00:18:48,529 --> 00:18:51,043 - Let me look at the fly! - Back into bed, Madame. 196 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,879 Get out of my way! Where is it?

Come on, Madame. 199 00:19:36,786 --> 00:19:39,505 - It's just a common housefly. - Yes. 200 00:19:40,665 --> 00:19:46,501 Perhaps it symbolizes something deep in her subconscious, as the psychiatrist believes. 201 00:19:46,838 --> 00:19:52,117 - Mr. Delambre, do you think she's mad? - It's obvious, isn't it? 202 00:19:52,427 --> 00:19:57,945 In spite of what the doctors think, I believe Mrs. Delambre's mind is quite clear. 203 00:19:58,267 --> 00:20:01,020 - Even when catching flies. - How can you say that? 204 00:20:01,228 --> 00:20:03,696 She must be mad. What about Philippe? 205 00:20:03,897 --> 00:20:06,491 She acts as if the boy were mine and not hers. 206 00:20:06,692 --> 00:20:09,047 She may be trying to protect him. 207 00:20:09,236 --> 00:20:11,989 Perhaps she fears him, or even hates him. 208 00:20:12,197 --> 00:20:14,870 That's impossible. 209 00:20:15,075 --> 00:20:18,988 H�l�ne couldn't hate anyone. You must be out of your mind. 210 00:20:23,751 --> 00:20:26,345 You're in love with her, aren't you? 211 00:20:27,505 --> 00:20:28,574 Yes. 212 00:20:28,714 --> 00:20:31,786 - Why didn't you marry her? - Because she loved my brother. 213 00:20:32,009 --> 00:20:34,364 I don't think she ever noticed me. 214 00:20:34,554 --> 00:20:38,672 I'm glad you're being honest with me. You see, at first I suspected you. 215 00:20:38,933 --> 00:20:41,527 Me? Why should I do such a thing? 216 00:20:42,312 --> 00:20:46,100 Motive one, for his wife. Motive two, to control Delambre Electronics. 217 00:20:46,357 --> 00:20:52,671 What do I care about motives? H�l�ne is in trouble and Andr�'s dead. It's a nightmare. 218 00:20:53,031 --> 00:20:56,819 I know now you had nothing to do with it, but I had to check, for her sake. 219 00:20:57,077 --> 00:21:01,275 I'm sorry, Inspector. I'm a fool. You've been so patient. Forgive me. It's just... 220 00:21:01,539 --> 00:21:04,849 I understand, monsieur. Perhaps it's I who should apologize. 221 00:21:05,085 --> 00:21:09,954 I have to pry into all sorts of personal things. It's... Well, it's necessary, unfortunately. 222 00:21:10,257 --> 00:21:14,489 Thank you for coming. If there's anything I can do to help, I will. 223 00:21:14,761 --> 00:21:17,116 Did you discover what Andr� was working on? 224 00:21:17,306 --> 00:21:20,696 No. The air ministry scientists have been through all his papers. 225 00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:23,004 They didn't mean a thing to them. 226 00:21:23,187 --> 00:21:26,418 We couldn't decipher the ashes. Nothing there either. 227 00:21:26,648 --> 00:21:30,436 Well, I've delayed all I can. We've been quite patient with the lady. 228 00:21:30,694 --> 00:21:34,926 I'm afraid I shall have to ask for a warrant tomorrow. The courts can decide. 229 00:21:35,199 --> 00:21:37,190 Tomorrow? 230 00:21:37,368 --> 00:21:39,757 The charge can only be murder. 231 00:21:40,663 --> 00:21:42,654 I'm sorry for you and the boy. 232 00:21:42,832 --> 00:21:48,509 But I cannot conceive of any verdict except guilty... or guilty but insane. 233 00:22:02,977 --> 00:22:04,251 Thank you, Yvette. 234 00:22:04,395 --> 00:22:06,465 - Uncle? - Yes, Philippe? 235 00:22:06,648 --> 00:22:09,845 - When's Daddy coming home? - Soon. 236 00:22:10,652 --> 00:22:13,962 - Can I see Mummy again tomorrow? - Yes. 237 00:22:14,697 --> 00:22:17,052 She's very sick, isn't she? 238 00:22:17,242 --> 00:22:19,710 Yes, Philippe, she's very sick. 239 00:22:21,371 --> 00:22:23,441 Do flies live a long time? 240 00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:26,524 I don't know. Why? 241 00:22:26,835 --> 00:22:30,430 Because I saw that fly Mummy was looking for again. 242 00:22:30,672 --> 00:22:34,381 - I didn't know she was looking for one. - Oh, yes, she was. 243 00:22:34,634 --> 00:22:38,547 It's grown quite a lot. But I recognized it all right. 244 00:22:41,934 --> 00:22:45,813 - Mm, this is good. - How did you recognize it, Philippe? 245 00:22:47,064 --> 00:22:49,453 Its head is white instead of black... 246 00:22:49,650 --> 00:22:52,039 ...and it has a funny sort of leg. 247 00:22:54,405 --> 00:22:58,796 - It was on your desk this morning. - Oh? I... I didn't notice it. 248 00:23:00,411 --> 00:23:03,448 When did you first see that fly, Philippe? 249 00:23:04,498 --> 00:23:08,889 The day Daddy went away. I had caught it, but Mummy made me let it go. 250 00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:11,684 And then later, she wanted me to find it again. 251 00:23:12,256 --> 00:23:15,931 She'd changed her mind. You know how women are. 252 00:23:17,804 --> 00:23:20,955 Excuse me, Philippe. I won't be a moment. 253 00:24:01,807 --> 00:24:03,798 Inspector Charas. 254 00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:07,468 Inspector Charas. 255 00:24:19,325 --> 00:24:22,317 - Good evening, Nurse. - Why, Mr. Delambre. 256 00:24:22,536 --> 00:24:25,130 Inspector Charas told me about her relapse. 257 00:24:25,331 --> 00:24:28,801 - How is she now? - Resting quietly, poor lady. But, monsieur... 258 00:24:29,043 --> 00:24:32,877 The inspector told me that I might speak to her for a few moments alone. 259 00:24:33,130 --> 00:24:35,883 - He knows I'm here. - But he didn't say you were coming. 260 00:24:36,092 --> 00:24:39,084 But he has so much on his mind. I won't be long. 261 00:25:07,332 --> 00:25:10,324 Oh! Oh, Fran�ois. I didn't hear you. 262 00:25:12,170 --> 00:25:15,924 - You look tired. - Oh, it's just the office. You know. 263 00:25:16,174 --> 00:25:19,086 - You shouldn't work so hard. - How are you? 264 00:25:19,302 --> 00:25:21,770 I'm fine. I feel all right. 265 00:25:21,972 --> 00:25:25,487 I'm glad you came. I... I wanted to ask you something. 266 00:25:26,185 --> 00:25:28,824 Of course, H�l�ne.

I think a month, two months. 269 00:25:46,122 --> 00:25:50,001 The fly you were looking for was in my study. Today. 270 00:25:52,003 --> 00:25:54,517 Did... did you kill it? 271 00:25:55,214 --> 00:25:57,284 - No. - Well, you have it with you. 272 00:25:57,466 --> 00:26:01,095 - Give it to me.

I have it. 277 00:26:13,316 --> 00:26:16,069 It's locked in my desk. Now tell me what happened. 278 00:26:16,486 --> 00:26:22,595 - No, never. Andr� wouldn't want me to. - I know you're not mad. I want the truth. 279 00:26:22,951 --> 00:26:26,580 Either you tell me or I... I'm going to give it to Charas. 280 00:26:28,081 --> 00:26:30,515 You swear you have it? 281 00:26:31,585 --> 00:26:33,177 Yes. 282 00:26:33,336 --> 00:26:36,089 If I tell you, will you promise to destroy it? 283 00:26:36,298 --> 00:26:39,415 - I can't do that until I know. - Then I can't tell you anything. 284 00:26:39,634 --> 00:26:42,387 For your own sake you've got to tell me. 285 00:26:42,596 --> 00:26:46,589 You're all right or you... you can be all right, perhaps. 286 00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:49,205 As soon as they examine it, they'll know. 287 00:26:49,394 --> 00:26:52,989 - And they'll know that you're not insane. - No! 288 00:26:53,816 --> 00:26:56,410 For Philippe's sake, Fran�ois, I beg you. 289 00:26:58,028 --> 00:27:02,704 Don't you see? I was pretending to be mad, for Philippe's sake. 290 00:27:04,034 --> 00:27:09,233 Better I should be declared insane than he be the son of a woman hanged for murder. 291 00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:14,375 I want to know. Either you tell me now, or I give the fly to Charas. 292 00:27:18,841 --> 00:27:21,753 If I tell you, will you tell them? 293 00:27:23,971 --> 00:27:27,884 I only want to help you.

Come on. - But... 314 00:29:38,067 --> 00:29:40,661 I'd no idea you'd made so many changes. 315 00:29:40,861 --> 00:29:45,730 - A completely new line of research. - Let me guess. The permanent battery. 316 00:29:46,033 --> 00:29:48,422 Not the portable reactor? 317 00:29:48,619 --> 00:29:50,974 I'll show you. 318 00:29:51,163 --> 00:29:53,836 But there must be no mention of this made to anyone. 319 00:29:54,041 --> 00:29:56,839 - Of course. - It's much too important. 320 00:29:57,461 --> 00:30:00,021 H�l�ne, you're the first to see a miracle. 321 00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:17,638 - Remember this? - Oh, of course. 322 00:30:17,857 --> 00:30:20,849 Our wedding present from my devoted and very rich Aunt Bess. 323 00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:23,060 Mm-hm.

What happens? 339 00:32:54,434 --> 00:32:59,189 A stream of electrons - sound and picture impulses - are transmitted through the air. 340 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,471 The TV camera is the disintegrator. 341 00:33:01,649 --> 00:33:06,040 Your set unscrambles or integrates the electrons back into pictures and sound. 342 00:33:06,321 --> 00:33:08,789 Yes, but... this is different. 343 00:33:08,990 --> 00:33:13,188 - Why? - Well... because it's impossible. 344 00:33:13,912 --> 00:33:17,348 Fifty years ago, if my father were told he could sit in Montreal... 345 00:33:17,582 --> 00:33:21,939 ...and watch a World Series in New York as it happened, he'd say it was impossible. 346 00:33:22,212 --> 00:33:26,410 - This is the same principle exactly. - But it's not the same. 347 00:33:26,675 --> 00:33:31,271 - This is solid. - Oh, no, it's not. To your touch maybe it is. 348 00:33:31,555 --> 00:33:33,910 But in reality it's billions of atoms... 349 00:33:34,099 --> 00:33:38,615 ...which we believe are only a series of electrical impulses. 350 00:33:38,896 --> 00:33:41,933 You actually did this?

I'll help you. No one will see you, I promise. 548 00:57:41,242 --> 00:57:45,440 Philippe caught a fly this morning. He said its head was white. 549 00:57:45,705 --> 00:57:48,173 I didn't see it. 550 00:57:48,375 --> 00:57:50,525 I made him let it go. 551 00:58:37,008 --> 00:58:39,920 "Come back in morning.

No. 656 01:22:01,190 --> 01:22:04,262 It wasn't Andr�. I couldn't have hurt Andr�. 657 01:22:05,862 --> 01:22:09,252 But I'm glad. I'm glad the thing is dead. 658 01:22:10,867 --> 01:22:12,983 I'll see you out, Inspector. 659 01:22:24,047 --> 01:22:26,800 - Inspector... - I'll be with you in a moment. 660 01:22:44,401 --> 01:22:47,199 - Inspector. - Do you believe the story? 661 01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:51,044 Well, it explains all the facts. 662 01:22:51,241 --> 01:22:53,914 The reason for the press, the fly, everything. 663 01:22:54,119 --> 01:22:56,553 True. But I asked you if you believed it. 664 01:22:57,540 --> 01:23:00,896 Oh, I'm only a policeman, I'm not a science fiction enthusiast. 665 01:23:01,127 --> 01:23:04,199 But I do not believe what she said. It... it can't happen. 666 01:23:04,422 --> 01:23:08,097 But you don't... Well, I mean, you didn't know Andr�. 667 01:23:08,342 --> 01:23:10,333 He was a genius in some ways. 668 01:23:10,511 --> 01:23:15,141 Possibly. But matter cannot be transmitted. Oh, the story is impossible! 669 01:23:20,480 --> 01:23:24,393 I'll be back at ten with a warrant for her arrest on the charge of murder. 670 01:23:24,651 --> 01:23:28,280 The nurse is under strict instructions not to leave her for any reason. 671 01:23:28,530 --> 01:23:31,522 But, Inspector, it might be the truth. 672 01:23:31,991 --> 01:23:34,380 It is the truth... to her. 673 01:23:34,577 --> 01:23:37,774 I'm satisfied now she's insane.

Did it look any different? - Not to me it didn't. 687 01:24:44,565 --> 01:24:48,797 She and Philippe were saying its head was white. But it was just a fly. 688 01:24:49,821 --> 01:24:52,130 - Thank you. - May I fix you breakfast, sir? 689 01:24:52,323 --> 01:24:55,599 - A nice cup of tea? Some coffee? - No...

He almost found a great truth. 787 01:32:57,485 --> 01:33:01,683 - But for one instant he was careless. - That's what killed him? 788 01:33:01,948 --> 01:33:05,657 Search for the truth is the most important work in the whole world. 789 01:33:05,910 --> 01:33:08,663 - And the most dangerous. - I'd like that. 790 01:33:08,872 --> 01:33:12,751 I'd like to be an explorer like him.
