It'll be half an hour late. 20 00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:54,560 Well, let's begin with your name. 21 00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:56,960 Xavier Martin. 22 00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:58,340 Xavier Martin. 23 00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:00,600 I follow all your cases in the paper. 24 00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:02,180 Yes, sir. 25 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,160 I consider myself the uncrowned king of the model railway world. 26 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,600 I'm not mad. 27 00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:19,160 Why have you come to see me? I went to a doctor about it and he says I'm not 28 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,420 mad. You thought you might be? 29 00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:21,660 I wasn't sure. 30 00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:24,180 So I went to Dr. Steiner, the neurologist. 31 00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:29,740 Plus, don't fear, Rochereau. Plus, don't fear, Rochereau. 32 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,060 His examination lasts an hour. 33 00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:34,310 He says I'm perfectly normal. 34 00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:37,210 I don't know where to start. 35 00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:38,550 Your address? 36 00:03:38,850 --> 00:03:40,790 17, Avenue de Châtillon. 37 00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:41,989 Avenue de Châtillon. 38 00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:46,670 And I work at the Grand Magasin du Louvre, head salesman in the toy 39 00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:51,070 But my real work is with the electric trains. I don't know whether you saw our 40 00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:52,150 window display at Christmas. 41 00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:56,890 The Gare Saint -Lazare, complete in every detail. I think my wife wants to 42 00:03:56,890 --> 00:03:57,549 murder me. 43 00:03:57,550 --> 00:04:00,790 You'd be surprised at some of the people who buy electric trains. Your wife? 44 00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:04,580 I make no accusations, mind you. Simply that she wants to murder you? Yes. 45 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,020 I've been married 15 years, hardly ever a quarrel. 46 00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:10,540 Perfectly happy. 47 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:12,120 Except that she wants to murder you. 48 00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:13,340 Yes. Why? 49 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,940 Perhaps she's mad. I mean, I'm not. The doctor says so. 50 00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:18,980 One partner in every marriage doesn't have to be mad. Dr. 51 00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:22,340 Steiner says he'd like to see her too, but how can I ask Jenny to go to a 52 00:04:22,340 --> 00:04:24,500 neurologist? Her name is Jenny. No, Giselle. 53 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,820 Jenny's her sister. She lives with us. 54 00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:29,340 Did I say Jenny? I meant Giselle. 55 00:04:31,530 --> 00:04:34,730 I presume you have some basis for your suspicions. Oh, yes. 56 00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:39,030 Your analysts will tell you it is zinc phosphide. 57 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:40,970 Yours having told you that already? 58 00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:44,690 A friend at the store. He's an amateur chemist. He has quite a little 59 00:04:44,690 --> 00:04:46,710 at home, just as I have a railway layout. 60 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:48,790 That was how it happened, really. 61 00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:52,170 I knocked over a pot of glue, went to look for a rag. 62 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:55,550 Under all the other cleaning things, there was a jar full of this. 63 00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:58,550 Well, what else could she want it for? 64 00:04:59,310 --> 00:05:00,990 It's highly poisonous. I looked it up. 65 00:05:02,210 --> 00:05:03,210 What are its uses? 66 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:07,030 It has one or two industrial uses, and it was once used in minute doses as a 67 00:05:07,030 --> 00:05:09,170 medicine. There were 50 grams in that jar. 68 00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:12,030 Well, what could she possibly want it for? 69 00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:13,290 Have you asked her? 70 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:15,630 Well, no. I mean, what could I say? 71 00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:16,870 What could she say? 72 00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:20,790 But there's no real need to. For the last few months, I've been having pains. 73 00:05:21,310 --> 00:05:22,910 Here. Never before. 74 00:05:24,010 --> 00:05:27,490 The public prosecutor. 75 00:05:34,909 --> 00:05:35,909 One moment, monsieur. 76 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:38,190 It's my fault.

Shall I go after him? 87 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:09,940 No, no. 88 00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:14,000 No, if he doesn't want to talk to me, I don't want to talk to him. 89 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,820 Go and get a glass of beer. 90 00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:25,460 No, it's too cold. 91 00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:27,020 Grog? 92 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,999 Good idea. 93 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,560 Shall I send down for it?

He's worked his way 126 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,240 from nothing to the position he holds today. He really is an acknowledged 127 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,360 on electric trains. 128 00:07:57,620 --> 00:07:59,460 I hope you didn't laugh when he told you that. 129 00:08:00,790 --> 00:08:04,390 After all, nobody makes fun of people who design corsets and bras, yes. 130 00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:05,910 Do you have something to do with that? 131 00:08:06,130 --> 00:08:07,550 Well, what woman hasn't? 132 00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:09,510 As a matter of fact, I seldom. 133 00:08:10,450 --> 00:08:13,850 But the Bud Xavier, he really does work terribly hard, and over Christmas his 134 00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:16,530 job seems to get on top of him. He feels inadequate. 135 00:08:17,410 --> 00:08:20,510 Lately he's begun to worry about some of his assistants being after his 136 00:08:20,510 --> 00:08:25,190 position. Are they? No, of course not. I told him he was becoming neurotic, but 137 00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:28,110 I didn't realise how bad he was until he started suspecting me. 138 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,980 Did he tell you of his suspicions? As good as. He looked at me the other day 139 00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:36,720 said, you'd make a beautiful widow, wouldn't you? Well, he keeps harping on 140 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,880 about the wonderful career I'd have without him. 141 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280 He changes his cup for mine. 142 00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:44,420 Makes me eat the first mouthful of food. 143 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,580 Keeps hunting round the kitchen. 144 00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:48,800 And he says, the doctor says he isn't mad. 145 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,300 Dr. Steiner? Yes, he went to see him a few days ago. Came back looking very 146 00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:53,199 pleased with himself. 147 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,860 Oh, and he said, whatever you do... 148 00:08:56,609 --> 00:08:58,630 Someone will know all about it. 149 00:08:59,490 --> 00:09:00,490 That's you. 150 00:09:01,210 --> 00:09:03,850 Well, why have you come to see me?

I don't... 192 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000 anything anymore. 193 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,840 I came here to ask for help and all you do is ask me questions as though I were 194 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,659 a suspect. 195 00:10:58,660 --> 00:11:00,480 If you were a suspect, you wouldn't be going now. 196 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:02,380 Good morning, madame. 197 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:14,940 You've gone up once. 198 00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:19,940 Find me... 199 00:11:20,939 --> 00:11:22,840 Dr. Steiner, place d 'affaires au cheval. 200 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,440 Call him, put the call through to me. 201 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,160 I can't. 202 00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:28,220 Who smells of rum? 203 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,180 Me, Bertrand. You said I could. Oh, yes. 204 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,720 Well, we have a crime to solve. 205 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,240 I can't tell you much about it because, in fact, there is no crime. 206 00:11:38,780 --> 00:11:42,020 No crime, no motive, no criminal, no victim. 207 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,280 A murder case? 208 00:11:44,460 --> 00:11:45,460 Poisoning. 209 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,400 Have that analysed. If it turns out to be bicarbonate... 210 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,320 We look even sillier than I feel. 211 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,800 Now, La Pointe. 212 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480 I want you to go down to Maison Harris in the Rue Saint -Honoré. 213 00:11:56,380 --> 00:11:59,120 Watch Madame at work. She didn't see you here, did she? No. Good. 214 00:11:59,780 --> 00:12:03,080 Now, when you get there, try not to look like a policeman. Ask to see something. 215 00:12:03,540 --> 00:12:07,160 It's a woman's shop. I mean, underwear, that kind of thing. Well, pretend you're 216 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,640 buying a nightdress for your fiancée or something. 217 00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:12,260 I don't think one would. I mean, it's a little personal, isn't it? 218 00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:14,720 Well, be yourself, then, I don't know. 219 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,420 Anyway, don't look like a policeman. Keep your mind on your work. 220 00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:23,520 Luca, you can take that grin off your face and go down to the 17 Avenue de 221 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,520 Châtillon. 222 00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:28,120 Try and sell some life insurance to Madame Jenny or something or other. 223 00:12:29,020 --> 00:12:30,260 Find out her name, I don't know about it. 224 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,600 Why insurance, Petro? 225 00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:34,220 Because I want to know if they have any already. 226 00:12:59,470 --> 00:13:03,610 I want a night...

Well, perhaps she's a bit narrow, really. The 232 00:13:19,210 --> 00:13:22,230 shoulders hardly matter, Monsieur. This is the model we designed for Princess 233 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:23,230 Ellen of Greece. 234 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,070 Um, it looks a little short. 235 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:28,710 Mademoiselle is hardly likely to be wearing shoes with it. 236 00:13:29,070 --> 00:13:30,070 No, I suppose not. 237 00:13:30,370 --> 00:13:32,770 How much? Four hundred and fifty francs. 238 00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:35,690 Four hundred and... Oh. 239 00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:41,210 You haven't anything a little less exotic, have you, in nylon? No nylon 240 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:43,330 monsieur, only pure silk and batiste. 241 00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:49,150 This is the least expensive thing we have in the shop, monsieur. 242 00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:50,790 One hundred and eighty francs. 243 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:53,490 Oh. Well, 244 00:13:54,270 --> 00:13:56,730 I think perhaps not a night dress, after all. Something else. 245 00:13:57,490 --> 00:13:58,490 What, monsieur? 246 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:02,800 One of those. 247 00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:09,920 50 francs. 248 00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:20,400 Which is Monsieur 249 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,660 Martin's house, can you tell me? 250 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,460 Over there, Monsieur.

Do you know him? 252 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,800 Well, we've done some business together. 253 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,960 More than I have. He never comes in here. 254 00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:31,260 Doesn't drink. 255 00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:32,700 Right, thank you. 256 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,380 Madame Martin? 257 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,840 That's my sister, she's out. 258 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,480 My apologies, madame. She and her husband both work. I look after the 259 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,259 I help you? 260 00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:56,460 Well, a colleague of Monsieur Martin suggested he might be interested in some 261 00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:59,300 insurance. Well, come in. It's cold out. Thank you. 262 00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:01,910 Ah, snow underway. 263 00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:06,870 You're from an insurance company? Yes. 264 00:15:07,090 --> 00:15:08,130 I don't suppose I can interest you? 265 00:15:08,330 --> 00:15:10,550 Oh, no, thank you. I have a pension from my husband's firm. 266 00:15:10,890 --> 00:15:12,650 He was killed in an accident. Oh, I'm sorry. 267 00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:17,749 Forgive me working. 268 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:18,750 I have to get lunch. 269 00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:19,850 Do they come back for lunch? 270 00:15:20,070 --> 00:15:21,270 Zannie does, not Giselle. 271 00:15:21,770 --> 00:15:23,230 She prefers the Grand Boulevard. 272 00:15:23,710 --> 00:15:25,190 If you like to wait, you'll be here soon. 273 00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:28,200 Yes, well, I don't think I'll wait now, but I would like to interest him in our 274 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,200 new road accident policy. 275 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,800 You see, if he comes home for lunch every day, he runs an extra 24 % risk of 276 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,400 death or mutilation by road accident. 277 00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:36,840 However, I'll come back this evening. Why shouldn't you? You have to make a 278 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,220 special journey. I happen to know they're both insured already. 279 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,700 Ah, well, sometimes that little extra cover makes all the difference between 280 00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:45,600 anxiety and contentment. There are policies for quite a lot. 281 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,320 Ten thousand each. Ten thousand. Against accident? 282 00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:49,479 And death. 283 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,340 I see. Well, in that case, madame, thank you for your patience. 284 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,460 You might try the flats next door. I might indeed. 285 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,000 It seems a pity to come all this way for nothing on a cold day like this. Yes, 286 00:15:58,020 --> 00:15:59,020 it does. 287 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,640 Well, thank you, madame. 288 00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:01,579 Not at all. 289 00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:02,580 Goodbye. 290 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,740 It's just as cold in here. 291 00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:07,100 Snow coming. 292 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Well, it's the time of year for it. 293 00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:11,820 As long as it doesn't stop the Rheims -Dijon match. 294 00:16:12,140 --> 00:16:12,879 Capadoc, please. 295 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,880 Yes, sir. Who'll win? 296 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160 Rheims. And there'll be Lyon. Are you going to it? 297 00:16:17,820 --> 00:16:19,060 Going on a supporter's bus. 298 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,040 50 francs? 299 00:16:34,140 --> 00:16:35,680 The cashier won't stand for that. 300 00:16:39,420 --> 00:16:40,420 McGee? 301 00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,020 Oh, yes, thank you. 302 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,520 The analysts say it is zinc phosphate. 303 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,760 Well, 304 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,980 after that, I left the shop rather quickly. As a matter of fact, I left my 305 00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:53,340 there. You just wanted an excuse to go back. 306 00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:55,400 Oh, well, we may have to. 307 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000 What did you think of them? 308 00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:00,280 Well, I wouldn't swear to anything, but they make a good pair. 309 00:17:01,230 --> 00:17:03,150 They don't have to speak to understand each other. 310 00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:06,290 They had lunch together in a restaurant on the Boulevard des Capucines. 311 00:17:06,550 --> 00:17:07,990 Just as her sister said she would. 312 00:17:08,210 --> 00:17:11,589 What was her sister's name, by the way? Jenny Sorel, according to the barber at 313 00:17:11,589 --> 00:17:12,429 the bistro. 314 00:17:12,430 --> 00:17:16,510 And you say that she opened the door to Xavier and he kissed her. Oh, there was 315 00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:18,290 nothing to it, just as a man might kiss his sister. 316 00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:19,510 Yes, she is. 317 00:17:19,609 --> 00:17:21,109 Oh, no, his wife's sister. 318 00:17:21,390 --> 00:17:24,470 Yes, well, I mean... We're all going to say it's the same thing, and he's not. 319 00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:29,450 Well, see, they spend all day doing nothing and getting nowhere. 320 00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:31,770 Let's all go have a drink and go home. 321 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:35,050 And you have to say those words. 322 00:17:37,810 --> 00:17:38,810 Mickery? 323 00:17:39,770 --> 00:17:40,770 Hmm? 324 00:17:41,330 --> 00:17:42,330 Oh, he is? 325 00:17:43,570 --> 00:17:44,389 All right. 326 00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:45,390 Bring him in. 327 00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:47,550 My friend is back again. 328 00:17:47,870 --> 00:17:51,170 Is he up here? Yes, to see me. Now, La Pointe, I want you in there with the 329 00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:53,630 ajar. I want this interview taken down. Right, Mr. Hunt. 330 00:17:54,490 --> 00:17:56,850 There's someone downstairs, ready to follow him when he leaves. 331 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,680 Come in. 332 00:18:09,180 --> 00:18:10,840 Do forgive me for coming so late. 333 00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:12,360 I couldn't get away earlier. 334 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Will you take your coat off? 335 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Oh, yes. 336 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,620 Thank you. Yes, perhaps I will. 337 00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:24,640 I'm a bit hot. I've been running. 338 00:18:29,740 --> 00:18:34,180 Sorry about this morning. They're strict at the shop. I was afraid I might be 339 00:18:34,180 --> 00:18:37,390 late. I'd have rung you up, only we're not allowed to make private calls. 340 00:18:37,710 --> 00:18:40,030 I think I'm getting a cold. 341 00:18:41,010 --> 00:18:42,710 My wife's been to see you, hasn't she? 342 00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:46,390 Yes. What did she say? 343 00:18:46,990 --> 00:18:49,150 Here, Monsieur Martin, we ask the questions. 344 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:50,929 I'm sorry. 345 00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:54,050 Are you lodging a complaint against your wife? No, what good would that do? 346 00:18:54,190 --> 00:18:55,190 Where's my proof? 347 00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:59,310 You don't believe a word I say, do you? I wish you'd stop asking questions. 348 00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:02,330 Well, it's no use my answering them if you're not going to believe me. 349 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,340 I don't suppose you've even analysed their powder. 350 00:19:05,860 --> 00:19:06,739 No, yes, we have. 351 00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:08,160 Zinc phosphide. Rat poison. 352 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,180 Which she brought home from the shop because I complained about rats. 353 00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:13,000 true. But that doesn't make any difference. 354 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,980 Why didn't she tell me she'd brought it back? 355 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,099 Perhaps she forgot. 356 00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,440 Oh, she's there and never forgets anything. 357 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,240 No, mind you, I can see it's awkward for you. I might be lying. She might be 358 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,020 lying. We both might be lying. We all might, indeed. 359 00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:29,040 This business of my going to a neurologist of my own accord is hardly 360 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,240 an entirely sane man. 361 00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:35,210 Am I just trying to create an impression of neurosis? It's so hard for you to 362 00:19:35,210 --> 00:19:36,210 know. 363 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:38,490 Well, make it easier. 364 00:19:38,830 --> 00:19:41,610 And she must have told you all about how neurotic I am. 365 00:19:42,050 --> 00:19:45,310 How I suspect the assistance at the store and all that sort of thing. Do 366 00:19:45,390 --> 00:19:46,490 Yes, and rightly so. 367 00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:50,330 Oh, and I do more than that. When I can't find something at home, I stamp my 368 00:19:50,330 --> 00:19:51,510 feet and burst into tears. 369 00:19:51,730 --> 00:19:54,890 Often. Did you tell Dr. Steiner that? Of course, I told him everything. 370 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,440 He asked me questions you'd never dream of. Well? 371 00:19:57,660 --> 00:19:59,180 And I'm still not mad. 372 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,700 But still convinced that your wife wants to murder you? 373 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,980 Utterly. And you don't want an inquiry? 374 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,720 Useless. Nor protection. 375 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,360 How would you do that? 376 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,960 Hide in the teapot. 377 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,140 Hide in the... Do you drink tea? 378 00:20:15,820 --> 00:20:20,480 No. So why should I hide in the teapot? You couldn't. But why a teapot? Because 379 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,940 we drink a tea garden at night. 380 00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:26,450 An infusion of Chinese anise. You make it in a teapot. 381 00:20:26,850 --> 00:20:28,810 I think that's where the poison will be. 382 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:33,150 Well, if you don't want us to do anything about it, would you mind 383 00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:36,090 why you came here in the first place? So that you'll know. 384 00:20:36,430 --> 00:20:40,310 So that if anything happens to me, you won't think that it was an accident or 385 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:41,310 natural causes. 386 00:20:41,670 --> 00:20:42,830 Very obliging, Monsieur. 387 00:20:43,030 --> 00:20:45,970 I shall be more obliging than that.

After I'm poisoned, but before I die. You see, there are very few poisons 391 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,200 that cause instant death. Certainly not zinc phosphide. Oh, I don't suppose 392 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,200 she'll use that now. 393 00:21:06,980 --> 00:21:09,180 I have a loaded revolver at home. 394 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,060 Licensed? Yes.

Patron, she's out here waiting for him. Who, the one? No, Jenny, the other 401 00:21:42,460 --> 00:21:43,379 one. 402 00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:47,800 Don't talk so loud. You're making the speaker vibrate. 403 00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,040 She didn't come with him. She must have followed him when he left the shop. 404 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,480 Shall I tell them when he comes out? Yes, do that. 405 00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:57,669 My wife? 406 00:21:57,670 --> 00:22:00,830 No. I wonder if that's the truth.

He's very good. 413 00:22:12,830 --> 00:22:14,270 When, now? No, it's too late now. 414 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:17,170 Tomorrow morning? If I have time to tell them at the store. 415 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:20,610 We'd ask for your signature to a paper stating that it's of your own free will. 416 00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:21,850 If you want me to. 417 00:22:22,460 --> 00:22:25,660 Yes, why not? After all, you came here of your own free will. You don't even 418 00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:27,500 have to answer my questions, will you? 419 00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:29,140 Will you believe the answers? 420 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:30,700 I'll try. 421 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,480 Do you love your wife? 422 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,240 No. 423 00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:37,380 Did you ever love her? 424 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,820 I thought I did. 425 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:43,360 Do you mind explaining just what you mean by that? No, not at all. 426 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,100 You see, there was very little time for company when I was a young man. 427 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,080 There was so much reading to be done if I was to better myself. 428 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,869 So that... 429 00:22:51,870 --> 00:22:54,790 You really had nothing to do with women until you met your wife. 430 00:22:55,210 --> 00:22:59,110 Only what you can imagine, more disgust than pleasure. 431 00:22:59,710 --> 00:23:04,450 Well, when I met Giselle, I saw her as the ideal woman, and that was what I 432 00:23:04,450 --> 00:23:08,690 loved. The word couple had a marvellous, marvellous feeling for me in those 433 00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:11,790 days, to be one of the halves of a couple. It was what I dreamed of. 434 00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:13,130 Did she love you? 435 00:23:14,010 --> 00:23:16,010 I thought she did, for a time. 436 00:23:16,750 --> 00:23:19,290 When did you finally decide that you'd made a mistake? 437 00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:21,380 About two years ago. 438 00:23:22,340 --> 00:23:25,340 Just about the time that your sister -in -law came to visit you. That's so. 439 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,060 Why should her arrival change your mind? Well, until she came, I had no 440 00:23:29,060 --> 00:23:30,060 standards of comparison. 441 00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:32,519 Go on. 442 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,980 Well, I wasn't always happy at home, but I told myself I was as happy as anyone 443 00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:40,600 else.

There he was, lying on the floor, 769 00:45:01,820 --> 00:45:06,420 trying to reach the pistol. I think he meant to come and shoot me, but the 770 00:45:06,420 --> 00:45:09,020 poison overcame him. And what did you do? 771 00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:13,400 Nothing.
