One can 285 00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:40,840 tell a fellow connoisseur. 286 00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:46,180 Now, where were we? 287 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,120 You were going to tell me why Mr. Galley came to visit you. 288 00:15:49,580 --> 00:15:51,900 Yes, yes, indeed, yes. 289 00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:56,920 Well, you see, the Chantilly are one of the old families of France. 290 00:15:57,140 --> 00:15:59,760 It means nothing, but there it is. One can't escape one's destiny. 291 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,240 As a matter of fact, I'm the last of the line. 292 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,740 Perhaps it's just as well... 293 00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:08,390 After all these things, there's no place for them in the modern world. You were 294 00:16:08,390 --> 00:16:12,190 going to tell me why Mr. Galley came to visit you. Ah, yes. He came for a 295 00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:14,870 subscription, a little offering, as he called it. 296 00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:18,990 You see, my father was well known as a royalist. Mind you, that's 40 years ago 297 00:16:18,990 --> 00:16:20,730 or more. I've no time for such rubbish. 298 00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:24,790 But Galley had got hold of my name for some list or other and tried to touch me 299 00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:26,690 for a few thousand francs for propaganda. 300 00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:31,430 I wouldn't play, of course, so he lowered his sights and asked for a 301 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:33,050 some destitute old family. 302 00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:35,700 In the end, I gave him 50 to get rid of him. 303 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,280 Why did he come and visit you on Saturday? 304 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,140 You have had your ear to the ground, I can see that. 305 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,740 Yes, he had the nerve to try... Oh, yes. 306 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,200 At least, I suppose so. I sent him packing. 307 00:16:52,460 --> 00:16:53,860 I didn't even let him in the house. 308 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,240 I know, thank you. I'm surprised you didn't mention this before. 309 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,540 Oh, well, you know how it is. A name like mine, one wants to keep out of the 310 00:17:03,540 --> 00:17:06,720 papers.

More profitable, 365 00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:52,700 too. Oh, La Pointe rank. 366 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:55,140 Gallet's life was insured for 100 ,000 francs. 367 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:56,429 By himself? 368 00:19:56,430 --> 00:19:57,430 Ten years ago. 369 00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:59,950 Premiums must have been enormous. 370 00:20:00,270 --> 00:20:02,250 Especially if he wasn't fit.

From a relative in Indochina, wasn't it? 859 00:44:29,140 --> 00:44:31,340 Yes. A cousin.

He was a sick man. 866 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,040 He was being blackmailed and he came down here to die. 867 00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:54,600 He asked for a room overlooking the well. 868 00:44:55,260 --> 00:44:58,960 You see what he could do? He'd lower this stone down the well, turn the other 869 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,640 end of the gun. He fires a shot. 870 00:45:00,860 --> 00:45:02,080 His hand unclenches. 871 00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:07,540 Down goes the stone and the gun, never to be recovered. 872 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,800 So suicide looks like murder, and the insurance company pay up. 873 00:45:12,180 --> 00:45:13,240 Clever. Very clever. 874 00:45:14,380 --> 00:45:17,400 But he couldn't get the room he wanted, so he had to think of something else. 875 00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:19,740 Now, go and get me his revolver. 876 00:45:35,690 --> 00:45:36,690 Let me see it. 877 00:45:36,910 --> 00:45:39,530 Wedge between the stones under the creeper.

You wind it up, and it gives you time to step around 881 00:45:52,670 --> 00:45:57,350 in front of it before the spring works the shutter, or in this case, the 882 00:45:57,350 --> 00:45:58,350 trigger. 883 00:45:58,670 --> 00:46:01,630 5 ,000.

There's a limit to the time in 886 00:46:08,310 --> 00:46:10,530 which you can bring a charge. I looked it up. 887 00:46:11,150 --> 00:46:13,310 There are various charges which might be brought. 888 00:46:13,530 --> 00:46:14,530 Yes, but not murder. 889 00:46:14,990 --> 00:46:16,590 You know that I didn't kill him. 890 00:46:17,250 --> 00:46:18,850 Sit down, Monsieur Galley. 891 00:46:19,150 --> 00:46:20,270 Tell me what you did do. 892 00:46:21,590 --> 00:46:23,110 I have no need to say anything. 893 00:46:23,830 --> 00:46:26,550 No, but you can come with me and meet Monsieur Louis Potter. 894 00:46:26,950 --> 00:46:30,950 And perhaps look at some photos of your old football team in which you, Emile 895 00:46:30,950 --> 00:46:33,210 Galley, played outside left. 896 00:46:35,569 --> 00:46:37,350 Poet Ahmed, said Default. 897 00:46:39,150 --> 00:46:40,790 All right, where shall I start? 898 00:46:41,030 --> 00:46:42,029 In Indochina. 899 00:46:42,030 --> 00:46:45,010 When a man came into your solicitor's office in Hanoi to make a will. 900 00:46:45,850 --> 00:46:48,630 Yes, he looked like an old trap. He'd been living in the jungle and the fever 901 00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:49,509 was on him. 902 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:52,750 He said he hadn't got long to live, that he wanted to leave all his money to his 903 00:46:52,750 --> 00:46:56,350 cousin, Tiburce, who was the only other person bearing the name of Saint 904 00:46:56,350 --> 00:46:57,350 -Hierre. 905 00:46:57,610 --> 00:46:58,610 How much? 906 00:46:59,470 --> 00:47:02,050 Twelve hundred thousand francs. 907 00:47:02,490 --> 00:47:03,790 So you saw the opportunity. 908 00:47:04,590 --> 00:47:05,590 I'll make a fortune. 909 00:47:05,710 --> 00:47:08,690 Well, as a matter of fact, I was coming back to France anyway. Things had got a 910 00:47:08,690 --> 00:47:10,190 bit too hot out there for me. 911 00:47:10,750 --> 00:47:12,770 But I had an awful job to find Tiburce. 912 00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:16,550 In the end, I ran him to Earth and Le Havre. He was down to his last few 913 00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:17,550 centimes. 914 00:47:18,250 --> 00:47:19,310 Which made it easy for you. 915 00:47:20,010 --> 00:47:24,190 Yes. I told him that I was going to the States, that I wanted an impressive name 916 00:47:24,190 --> 00:47:25,190 to bluff them with. 917 00:47:25,490 --> 00:47:28,190 I said he knew his from someone at Bourges. 918 00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:29,630 That's where he went to school. 919 00:47:29,850 --> 00:47:30,808 I know. 920 00:47:30,810 --> 00:47:33,570 And how much did you offer him for the name Tiburce de Saint -Eliere? 921 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,400 10 ,000. 922 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,520 About 2 ,500 new francs.

He claimed his 931 00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:08,440 inheritance. Went down on his knees for it, but he wouldn't go to law. 932 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,940 In the end, I gave him a few francs and he went away. 933 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:13,560 But he came back? 934 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,440 Oh, yes, every few months. 935 00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:19,500 Generally, I used to give him the few odd notes in my pocket and he'd go away 936 00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:21,240 quite happy, but on Saturday it was different. 937 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,000 Saturday he wanted 5 ,000 or nothing. Well, of course it was nothing. 938 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,820 He made a bit of a row, but I was firm and eventually he went away. 939 00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:31,720 Yeah. 940 00:48:33,629 --> 00:48:40,290 And then... Later that evening, I was 941 00:48:40,290 --> 00:48:44,950 strolling along the other side of that wall, and I saw him sitting on top of 942 00:48:45,710 --> 00:48:48,250 I didn't say anything, I just waited under the tree. I thought he was coming 943 00:48:48,250 --> 00:48:49,670 over, but he climbed back this side. 944 00:48:50,450 --> 00:48:52,930 When he was out of the way, I climbed over the wall to have a look. 945 00:48:53,610 --> 00:48:55,290 And there he was, standing here. 946 00:48:56,310 --> 00:48:59,430 And as I looked, there was a shot from the wall, and the side of his face went 947 00:48:59,430 --> 00:49:01,230 red. But he just stood here without moving. 948 00:49:01,470 --> 00:49:02,490 He seemed to be waiting. 949 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,660 He was waiting for the other two bullets. 950 00:49:05,260 --> 00:49:07,240 Explosion of the first one jammed the mechanism. 951 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,160 Waiting for his own death. 952 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,760 And when he didn't come, what did he do? 953 00:49:12,580 --> 00:49:13,680 He took out his knife. 954 00:49:15,780 --> 00:49:20,600 He didn't seem to dare at first. And then he made up his mind and plunged it 955 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:21,600 into his heart. 956 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:23,698 And you? 957 00:49:23,700 --> 00:49:24,700 What did you do? 958 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,860 I? Oh, well, I did what I thought best. I mean, after all, he was dead. Nobody 959 00:49:29,860 --> 00:49:30,860 could help him. 960 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,740 I had a look at the gun. I didn't like to touch it. I came in here to see if 961 00:49:33,740 --> 00:49:34,740 he'd left any papers. 962 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,160 But he'd burnt everything. 963 00:49:36,660 --> 00:49:38,480 After which you said no more and went home. 964 00:49:39,060 --> 00:49:41,240 Well, I couldn't without giving the whole story away. 965 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,920 So you left the weapon in place, still loaded and ready to fire. 966 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,160 Yes, but how could he? The spring was jammed, you said so yourself. When the 967 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,960 rain cooled it down, the spring contracted and it fired again, twice. 968 00:49:53,380 --> 00:49:54,760 How was I to know that would happen? 969 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:56,760 You knew there was a risk. 970 00:49:57,180 --> 00:50:00,440 And you knew which way the gun pointed. Did you by any chance hope that I would 971 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,440 be next? 972 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,560 I know. I never thought of that. No. 973 00:50:05,220 --> 00:50:07,480 Nor of anything else but the Bourse de Saint -Hilaire. 974 00:50:08,500 --> 00:50:11,340 There's nothing you can do. It's over 20 years since I've had the money. The 975 00:50:11,340 --> 00:50:12,840 active limitation is quite definite. 976 00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:14,100 Quite. 977 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,620 I'm sorry to be so long, Inspector. 978 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:18,880 I've chewed the wine. 979 00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:23,900 Never mind, Monsieur Tartiveau. My friend Emile here will drink it. 980 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,500 Goodbye, Mr. Galley. 981 00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:31,420 Nothing to stop you captaining the football team, no? 982 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:33,480 Galley, Galley. 983 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,940 Oh, yes, you must ask him about it. He used to play outside left. 984 00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:39,500 Goodbye. 985 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:41,240 What does he mean? 986 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,700 Have a drink, Galley. Is your name Galley? 987 00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:45,779 Is it really? 988 00:50:45,780 --> 00:50:47,640 He called you that? What does he mean? 989 00:51:02,890 --> 00:51:04,590 I can't wait to tell the family. 990 00:51:05,210 --> 00:51:07,330 Surely all the evidence points to suicide. 991 00:51:07,730 --> 00:51:11,590 Who would choose such a bizarre method of committing suicide without an 992 00:51:11,590 --> 00:51:13,550 overwhelming motive? The insurance company. 993 00:51:13,770 --> 00:51:18,530 Their capital is 95 million. Your father had been paying very heavy premiums for 994 00:51:18,530 --> 00:51:19,530 ten years. 995 00:51:19,630 --> 00:51:22,470 And they'd have had to pay out soon anyway. No, I think they'll fool him 996 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:24,790 the theory that he was conducting a very rash experiment. 997 00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:29,630 Unless, of course, they learn that his son was blackmailing him. 998 00:51:30,450 --> 00:51:33,800 If you think that... Why don't you make your accusation openly? 999 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,500 Because legally I can take no action against you. 1000 00:51:37,060 --> 00:51:40,060 And also because I think your poor father had enough disappointments in his 1001 00:51:40,060 --> 00:51:42,060 life. I'd like to spare him one more. 1002 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,800 He stood and waited for death in that manner so that we should think it was 1003 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,860 murder and your mother should get the insurance. 1004 00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:51,200 I suppose he loved her. 1005 00:51:52,380 --> 00:51:53,660 Perhaps he even loved you. 1006 00:51:53,940 --> 00:51:56,540 That is surely a family matter which need not concern you. 1007 00:51:56,860 --> 00:51:57,900 Not in the slightest. 1008 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,120 I suppose you'll be marrying Madame Boursin soon. 1009 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:06,400 Probably. 1010 00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:09,100 You get very well suited to each other. 1011 00:52:09,460 --> 00:52:10,760 I wish you joy.
