I've got it back. 763 00:43:45,987 --> 00:43:48,455 She's a freelance apartment-broker. 764 00:43:48,627 --> 00:43:51,187 Very interesting 765 00:43:51,347 --> 00:43:52,905 How're you going? 766 00:43:53,067 --> 00:43:54,056 You know each other? 767 00:43:54,227 --> 00:43:55,899 Sorry I took you for Monsieur Vergne. 768 00:43:56,067 --> 00:44:00,345 From the research section. No harm done. 769 00:44:00,547 --> 00:44:03,141 On the contrary. Thanks Lucas. What for Chief? 770 00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:06,617 You've given me an idea. What idea? 771 00:44:06,787 --> 00:44:09,255 The clairvoyant has been murdered twice. 772 00:44:09,547 --> 00:44:11,936 The clairvoyant has been murdered twice. 773 00:44:12,227 --> 00:44:14,138 The murderer made a mistake. 774 00:44:14,307 --> 00:44:16,582 So the unfortunate apartment-broker 775 00:44:16,747 --> 00:44:20,501 gets off the metro at the Lamarck station. 776 00:44:20,667 --> 00:44:22,783 In the elevator her bag is snatched. 777 00:44:22,947 --> 00:44:25,017 She was probably going to report it at the police station, 778 00:44:25,187 --> 00:44:28,304 when in front of Rue Durantin 779 00:44:28,467 --> 00:44:30,185 she saw a removal van. 780 00:44:30,347 --> 00:44:32,303 Could be a business opportunity... The concierge isn't there 781 00:44:32,467 --> 00:44:35,698 She goes upstairs, passing Arnaud de B�darieu. 782 00:44:35,867 --> 00:44:40,258 She asks him the time. 783 00:44:40,427 --> 00:44:41,746 Her watch was in her bag. That's very important. 784 00:44:41,907 --> 00:44:44,296 The apartment door is half-open...like this. 785 00:44:44,467 --> 00:44:47,698 The killer is there... he doesn't know her. 786 00:44:48,627 --> 00:44:51,505 He assumes she is madame Dumont. He kills her. 787 00:44:51,667 --> 00:44:54,625 Suddenly he notices across the way that the blindman is looking at him. 788 00:44:58,547 --> 00:45:02,017 He panics...he shoots. 789 00:45:02,187 --> 00:45:03,779 But he doesn't want the body found right away. 790 00:45:05,907 --> 00:45:09,502 He drags it... 791 00:45:09,667 --> 00:45:10,861 ...stuffs it into the wardrobe... 792 00:45:12,507 --> 00:45:13,986 ...shuts the door... and pockets the key. 793 00:45:15,067 --> 00:45:18,059 Next day, from reading the papers, 794 00:45:18,707 --> 00:45:20,538 he sees he's made a mistake. He starts again. 795 00:45:20,707 --> 00:45:23,585 And this time he succeeds. Yes, that's an ingenious theory 796 00:45:23,787 --> 00:45:28,099 But why the fanfare to warn the press... 797 00:45:29,987 --> 00:45:34,299 "Today, Friday at 6pm I'Il kill the clairvoyant." 798 00:45:34,467 --> 00:45:38,221 "Signed: Picpus" I confess that's got me. 799 00:45:38,427 --> 00:45:41,544 It seems to indicate there's something very odd about the killer. 800 00:45:41,707 --> 00:45:45,461 A nutter? Le Cloaguen? 801 00:45:45,627 --> 00:45:47,902 You should arrest him. No! 802 00:45:48,067 --> 00:45:49,785 You don't do anything but play mind games. 803 00:45:49,947 --> 00:45:52,905 What did she mean by: "He confessed" 804 00:45:53,067 --> 00:45:55,376 I was going to ask you that. Who confessed? 805 00:45:55,547 --> 00:45:58,061 And what did they confess? I'm not a clairvoyant. 806 00:45:58,227 --> 00:46:00,616 Do you have to pace up and down like that... it gets on my nerves! 807 00:46:00,787 --> 00:46:03,221 No way of questioning her? She's in a coma. 808 00:46:03,387 --> 00:46:06,424 At Picpus hospital? Picpus. I've had enough of that name. 809 00:46:06,627 --> 00:46:10,984 It haunts me.

Same reasoning. 819 00:46:33,067 --> 00:46:35,706 He knew the clairvoyant? Good...he's confessed. 820 00:46:35,867 --> 00:46:38,665 That airy-fairy scribbler didn't have it in him. 821 00:46:38,827 --> 00:46:41,057 She told him her customers troubles 822 00:46:41,227 --> 00:46:44,060 and it gave him material for his novels. 823 00:46:44,227 --> 00:46:46,058 That doesn't give us a guilty party. 824 00:46:46,227 --> 00:46:48,866 No, boss, that's even going to give us another murder. 825 00:46:49,307 --> 00:46:51,946 What?

No? 830 00:47:11,267 --> 00:47:13,417 That's very impressive. What should I do? 831 00:47:14,187 --> 00:47:17,224 Come back. 832 00:47:17,427 --> 00:47:18,496 Well? I was listening...

He told me of a murder which subsequently happened. 835 00:47:27,187 --> 00:47:31,339 Mascouvin looked like a man who was afraid. 836 00:47:31,507 --> 00:47:34,146 He should have come back here this evening. He's not at home. He won't come back. 837 00:47:34,307 --> 00:47:38,778 You were set up. 838 00:47:40,347 --> 00:47:42,019 Me?

So...? 843 00:47:55,787 --> 00:47:58,381 He got you into the caf� to point you to Rue Durantin, 844 00:47:58,547 --> 00:48:02,699 and during that time he's killed the clairvoyant. 845 00:48:02,867 --> 00:48:05,745 And now he's vanished.
