{guns firing)

- He looks pretty bad

- Yeah.

- Anything moving up there?

- I can't see anything

We better try and get him in

Cover me, will you”?

- Mariani.

Mariani, get down here

Come on.

{guns firing)

(glass breaking)

(gun clicking)

{guns firing)

Mariani.

Call my headquarters.

Tell them I want tear gas

and enough men to cordon this area.

Go on, get moving

(phone ringing)

Tell whoever it is to get off the line

(phone ringing)

Useless.

How are you?

- It's him.

- What, who?

- [Mariani] Polish Paul.

He wants you

- Yes.

- I've got one round left.

Before I use it,

I want to tell you what I think of you

and your pigs of police.

You're nothing but filthy rotten swine,

and this is what you can do to yourselves

(gun firing)

- Careful, patron

- It's all right

It's all over.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

{matchstick lighting)

{soft music)

- Sergeant Mariani's here, patron

- Late as usual.

- You wanted to see him?

- Yes, indeed I did

Send him in.

No, bring him in and stay

- [Secretary] All right
Sergeant, this way

- Good morning, patron,

and a very nice one too, for November

- Sit.

I have here a confidential
report on you from 10th District

And the statement of a certain Madame Rose

on her arrest for keeping
a disorderly house

She said I thought I was going
to be left alone at last.

Question, why?

Statement, because I've
been paying 2,000 a month

to a Corsican toad called Mariani.

True?

- She'd say anything

- [Jules] You admit you know her, then?

- A greedy old hag.

- With too much sense to commit perjury.

- You know her, too, patron?

Perhaps you understand the situation

- Get out.

- [Mariani] Patron?

- Don't call me that.

You're suspended from
duty pending an inquiry

I don't want to see you again.

- I don't like your tone

- [Maigret] Get out of earshot, quick

- All right, Sergeant, this way.

{Maigret sighing)

{door chucking)

He could make trouble.

- Ah, couldn't make anything else

- He's got some relative who's a deputy

- I don't care if he's
the president's brother

We've got rid of him,

and we'll stay rid of him.

{saxophone music)

- Oh, Michel, shut the window

It's cold.

(window shutting)

- It's warm, for April

- I thought you were going out

- Yes.

- So late, must you?

- Yes, it's very urgent

Important business

- Well take your coat, it may rain

{Michel footsteps)

He should rest after meals.

- What does he do all day?

Moon about the house.

- I won't be late.

- All right, dear,

so long as you don't wake me

- Good night.

- Eva will be up, I'm sure

- It will take hours.

Au revoir.

(door shutting)

- Oh well, good night.

- Bed already”?

- Why not?

What's there to wait up for?

(door shutting)

- [Man On Phone] A cafe
off the Place D'ltalie.

Two Arabs carving each other up

- [Officer] We'll send a car

- Need any help from Central, Dambois?

Right.

Anyway, when she came back fram school

and we saw those great red
blotches all over the poor kid,

we thought it was scarlet fever.

Well, we sent for the doctor at once,

but by the time he arrived,
the rash had all gone

- What was it?

- Attempted suicide

Rue Blanche.

- Rue Blanche.

- Urticaria
(laughing)

That's all it was.

They give you frights, though

Do you want a sandwich, Uncle?

- No thank you, Daniel

What's the time?

-10:15.

- That call from London
should be through soon

- Big case?

- I suppose so

International swindler, calls
himself Commodore Bresson.

He's staying at the Creole.

Ah, but it's all reports
and telephone calls

I don't know.

No flesh and blood about it.

That's why I came down here to see you,

see some real police work

- Well it's a quiet night, I'm sorry

Sometimes those lights
are flashing on and off

like nightclub signs

- Here's one now.

Rue Coloncour by the look of it.

{Jules laughing)

That's old Lognen's district.

- Well done, Bridge

- Daniel.

- [Man On Phone]
Policeman, are you police?

- [Officer] Police here, yes

- [Man] Hell to the police,

the whole lot of them.

Are you listening?

Police, this is what you
can go and do to yourselves

(gun firing)

- False alarm.

- No, wait a minute

Was that a shot.

- Dunbar, did that
sound like a shot to you

or just a madman?

He says it sounded like both

They're on their way.

- The light's still going

- They've left the phone hanging

(phone ringing)

- Maigret.

Mm-hm.

Oh London, good, put them on the line

Yeah?

Maigret.

Oh, I see

I see, well, thank you
very much for your help.

Good night

London say that Amsterdam have
the information I'm after.

They're gonna send it on to me

I don't suppose I'll
hear anything tonight

- Good night then

- Bye-bye, Daniel

That light's still on

I think I'l just go and take a look

down at the Rue Coloncour.

Ask them not to move the
body till I arrive, hm?

If there is one.

- Dambois, the patron's on his way.

He's interested. I suppose

Look, could you get a
message to Inspector Lognon

and say that if there is a body,

it's not to be moved?

That's your problem.

- Have you finished?

- Yes, sir

Oh, here he is

(engine roaring)

(door shutting)

- Well, Lognon, everything all right?

- Yes, of course

- Mind if I have a look?

- Certainly, do

- Have you got photographs™

- [Lognon] Yes

- [Maigret] Did anybody
see or hear what happened?

- No.

Place is deserted at this time of night

No one here when we arrived,

except him.

- Let's try that bar over there

- Shut down at 10, same as I usually do

There's no nightlife this
end of the Boulevard.

(door shutting)

{chair thuds)

I was in bed when I heard you arrive,

- Did you hear the shot?

- Maybe

- You must know.

- Well the hill starts here.

All the time, there's cars backfiring

(mimics).

I don't notice them anymore

Something to drink?

- Calvados, Lognon®

- Coffee.

- I'm sorry, machine's cold

I'll warm you up some in the kitchen

Something while you wsait?

- Lemonade, with a straw

- Fizzy”?

- [Lognon] If you like, I don't mind.

A most distinguished suicide

- Do you know him?

- I mean, if headquarters are interested

- No. they're not, only me

You know, it's a curious thing to do.

To ring up the police and insult them

before you shoot yourself

- I'm sure your psychiatrists
will explain it

Somebody else did exactly the same thing

six months ago, Polish Paul

- That case received
considerable publicity.

- Not the telephone call

We didn't tell that to the press

- Shall we take off, Inspector?

- If the chief inspector has
no further need of the body

- No.

- Shall I take the gun and
the contents of the pockets?

- I think we should examine them.

- Oh, just as you wish
Just leave them there.

- We ought to fingerprint it first.

- Da you expect anybody
else's prints on it?

- Well, not really, but all the same.

- Well it's as you wish,
as you wish, as you wish

- [Maigret] Have we his name?

- Yes.

Michel Goldfinger, age 38, diamond broker,

66 Rue LaMarque,

that's just across the road

- Did you say Goldfinger?

- You knew him?

- Well he came in here to
buy stamps and cigarettes

Has he shot himself?

- So it seems.

{clicks tongue)

Nice little man like that.

He was in here only yesterday

- [Lognon] But not this evening?

- 1 didn't see him.

I can ask my wife

- [Lognon] Yes, do at once.

- Please.

May 1?

- [Lognon] Yes, of course.

- Diamond broker, hm?

(door closing)

(diamond falling)

He'd have been worth robbing

- [Legnen] But he wasn't robbed

Appears to have shot himself.

- [Proprietor] She says
he hasn't been in today

- Is he married?

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Well I only knew his
wife by sight, you know

- Hm.

What sort of man was he?

- Well, very quiet, very polite

Just bought what he wanted and went.

- Shall I go and inform his widow?

- We'll both go

- It's not worth your trouble, surely

- I don't know, Lognon,

I've got a feeling about this case.

- [Lognon] If there is a case

- Recently fired

- [Lognon] So I imagined

- All the same, I'll send
it down to ballistics

and have it compared with
the bullet that killed him.

You can't be too careful, you know.

- Yes, I quite agree

And you're in a position to tell

the ballistic department so

We juniors are so often
accused of wasting their time

- [Maigret] Oh you're hardly
a junior, my dear fellow

- I know I'm at the peak of my career,

but headquarters department

so often regards us as mere provincials

- Shall we go”?

- Yes.

- Coffee?

- No no no, no time

- Ch yes, drink it.

- You know I have to work on my reports

before I get home

- Would you like me to go
along and see the widow?

- Of course, if you want to supersede me,

you have only to say so

- No no, no no, we'll both go along now

(door closing)

{doorbell ringing)

- [Mathilde] Who is that?

- Perhaps Michel forget his key

- Is it Michel?

- [Eva] No, two gentlemen,
they want to see you

- Oh, send them away,

I can't see anyone.

- Come in please, gentlemen.

{man coughing)

I am Mr. Goldfinger's sister-in-law

This way.

I was cutting out a dress

Sit down, won't you please?

- Thank you

- Has Monsieur Goldfinger been out long?

- No, not long, since about 10 o'clock

He had an appointment at some cafe

- Do you know which?

- No. It was about business.

- Diamonds.

- Yes, are you in the trade”?

- [Maigret] Ch no, no,
vre're police officers

- He always helps the police when he can.

- How is his health?

- His health, not too bad.

He isn't strong, of
course, he has an ulcer,

but it's getting better

- What's happened to him?

- I'm sorry to disturb
you at this time of night

- What's happened to my husband?

- I'm afraid I have bad news for you

He's dead.

(shrieking)

- How?

- Had he any reason for killing himself?

- I don't know.

- No, he'd never have done
such a thing, not Michel

How can you let them suggest such a thing?

- Let's be sensible.

What happened?

- He was found shot half an
hour ago in the Rue Coloncour

- Where is he now?

- He's been taken away

I'm afraid we shall have to ask you

to come down and identify him tomorrow

- l can't believe it.

I can't believe it, Mathilde, can you?

- I just don't understand

- We can't be certain
vet that it was suicide

- Virtually certain.

- What else could it be?

- Any enemies?

- None.

- No reason for killing himself either?

- I don't know.

- Mathilde!

- Well his health wasn't good

He was worried about it.

He was on a very strict diet

And he's had some
business troubles lately

There's been a slump in diamonds

- He was carrying some on him

- Yes, he often did

- Were they his?

- No, I don't expect so

He very rarely bought on his own.

He sold on commission.

- Did you know much about his affairs”?

- Everything.

- He owe any money?

- Yes, there was a bill falling
due tomorrow, for 3,000

-3,0007

And had he got it?

- He hoped to get it,

that's why he went out.

- I see.

Supposing he failed?

- Well then he'd be out of business.

In the diamond trade
everything's done on trust

Once you lose your name, you're finished

- And up to now he'd survived?

- Yes.

He was good at finding
money at the last minute

- One last question

Had he got a gun?

- Yes, but he'd never carried it

It should be in that drawer.

Eva, would you?

- No.

It's gone (sobs).

- When did you see it last?

- I saw it the day before yesterday.

I was dusting the room

Eva was out at work all day

and she's a shorthand typist

- Make and calibre of the gun?

- Browning, 635

- 635, yes,

- Inspector Lognon is
in charge of this case

Will you be accompanying Madame down

to the morgue in the morning?

- I shall make it my business to do so

- In that case, I think
we should leave them now.

- Whatever you say.

- My sympathy, ladies.

- And mine, ma'am.

You may expect me at nine
o'clock in the morning

(door closing)

{soft sobbing)

- Mathilde!

(lock clicking)

{sombre music)

- It's the second fight in two hours

down your way, Clement.

You want the police?

- Hello, Daniel

- Hello, Uncle Jule

- There was a body there

- Your call from Amsterdam
came through, here

- Oh, and I was out, huh?

- Well, Lapointe took it in your office

- Mm-hm.

- He brought the information down here

because I told him you might be back.

- Yes.

Anjou 37-17

Hello, Lapointe”

Maigret.

We can pick up Bresson anytime we like

Yes, where is he now?

Oh, I see

Oh well, we better leave
him alone till the moming

Go in with a coffee and
then bring him along here

Discreetly, though, no
handcuffs in the hotel.

All right

All we have to do now is get him to talk

- Along job

- Yeah, a job.

- Who was the man who shot himself?

- He's a little diamond broker.

Very quiet, well behaved,
never been in any trouble

- Yet the last thing he does on Earth

is ring up the police and curse them

- Yeah.

And, his wife is a liar,

and his sister-in-law weeps for him.

- That's natural.

- No, not when the wife doesn't weep

Still, it's Lognon's case

It's really no business of mine

All the same.

- [Lognon] Thank you

- Sugar?

- Yes, thank you.

- [Madame Maigret] I don't
expect he'll be long now

After he's been out all night,
he nearly always come back

to shave and have breakfast.

You probably do the same thing

- Well, I'try to if [ can

I usually manage to get back
sometime in the morning

You see, my wife finds
the stairs difficult.

And I usually do a certain
amount of the shopping

- How is Madame Lognon™?

- Oh, as well as can be expected

(door closing)

- Is that you?

- Good morning.
- Good morning

- Helle, Lognen

No no, don't get up

- [Lognon] My pardon for this intrusion.

- No intrusion, my dear
fellow, delighted to see you

- I was so certain he was you
that I very nearly embraced

Inspector Lognon when I
opened the front door to him

(both laughing)

Here, put these on

Will you be going to bed?

- No no, just a wash and a shave

I slept on the camp bed
in the small office.

- [Madame Maigret] Not
long enough, I'm sure

- Well I keep asking all the
crooks to work days only,

but they take no notice.

- [Madame Maigret] Here's your coffee

- Well, Lognon, what's been happening”?

- Nothing.

- Sure, in that case
it was very nice of you

to drop in and see us

- Well, before I took Madame
Goldfinger to the morgue

to identify her husband,

I thought I'd find out

whether you wanted a copy
of my report on the case

- Ch yes, if you've got a spare one

- Oh, I could easily type you another.

- No no, no need to do that.

Can't I just glance over it now?

- Well you see, I have
to have three copies,

one for my own superior, one for myself

and of course, one for the file

Some early morning shopping.

We're very short of
secretaries at the moment,

so I have to do my own typing.

But I can only manage to do
three copies at the same time

But I'd willingly do you another

- Oh no no no, I would want
to waste your valuable time

- The collecting and
compiling of official records

can hardly be regarded as a waste of time.

- Depends whose time it is

They perform the postmortem?

- Yes, Page Three, Paragraph Seven.

635 bullet, as expected

- You sent it along to
ballistics with the gun?

- Of course, as you instructed

But of course, nothing
has come through vet

- No.

Did they find out what he had to eat?

- The contents of the stomach, oh I,

I beg your pardon, is
listed in Appendix One

I gather you put a special call through

and asked for that information.

- Yes, ves I did

Thought it might be interested

It is interesting, too.

- He seems to have consumed a normal meal.

- He had nothing to drink

- Oh he had an ulcer.

- Well he said he was going
to a cafe to meet someone

If he'd gone there, he'd
had to have something,

even if it was only mineral water

- He might only have said
he was going to a cafe

- Perhaps.

- He's hardly like to phone up his wife

and say he was going out to shoot himself.

- Quite.

So you conclude that it was suicide, huh?

- From a careful consideration
of all the aspects,

that seems to me the only answer.

(phone ringing)

- Maigret.

Ah, morning, Lucas.

Have they picked up Bresson yet?

- He's still asleep

At least there'll be no call for coffee.

I said to let him lie.

Probably some time before he
sees another comfortable bed.

Yeah.

What about his companion?

Shall we pull her in too?

Just thought she'd be
company for him, that's all

(chuckling)

Quite a lot.

They picked up that Italian
safebreaker in Toulouse.

You're in court at 10:15,
the Vacilla blackmail case.

And there's a report here
from ballistics about some gun

you sent them last night.

There's also a transcript--

The gun report?

Right, I'll read it.

- Yeah.

Oh, I see

All right, thank you, Lucas.

I'm coming over now.

- Do you have time for a bath?

- Yeah.

- I'l run it now.

- I'l have to go

- No, wait, Lognon

Ballistics have come through
vith their report on the gun

- That's remarkably prompt

- Yes, it alters things a little

- Do you mean?

Do you mean it didn't fire
the shot that killed him?

- It did that, all right,

but when it was fired,
it had a silencer fitted.

They found scratch marks on the barrel,

they're pretty certain.

- But the man on duty heard the shot.

- Ah, a shot.

There might have been
two, one with a silencer.

- Oh.

Murder.

- After all, a dead man
can't unscrew a silencer.

- Thank you, I was just
considering that point

There'll be a number of questions to ask.

- I'm afraid I haven't time to ask them.

- Do you want me to
continue with the case?

- Naturally

- Well, then I shall start
among the diamond merchants

- What about the wife
and the sister-in-law?

- Oh, I questioned the concierge

Neither of them went out last night

- You're watching the apartment?

- I have a man on duty

- Perhaps if you question
the other residents.

- As you wish.

So long as I'm not accused
of wasting my time

- No no, you won't be

- Report to you?

- In a friendly way

- Friendly, friendly

Oh ves, I see

Good day, my respects to Madame.

(sighing)

- I can see the flaw
even without the glass.

Tell him I don't want it.

Yes?

- [Legnon] Monsieur Yan Huizinga

- Oh don't bother with the introductions.

Please sit down.

Do you buy or sell?

- Police.

- Oh?

A card?

No flaw.

But we have to be careful.

There have been some false policemen,

and you look so like a
typical broker that I wonder

Everyone I know, I trust.

Everyone else, I mistrust.

- You're not surprised to
be visited by the police?

- Not a bit.

When you deal in these,
you deal in police matters

- Are you acquainted with
a Monsieur Goldfinger?

- Oh, I know everybody.

Why, is he in trouble?

- Yes.

What sort of a man is he?

- Oh, between you and me, a fool.

I'm not surprised

Sooner or later, I knew
there'd be trouble.

- Is he the kind of man
that you would trust?

- Trust?

He's in business, I have to trust him,

but he's soft.

Yes?

I said 10,000, didn't I?

There you are

You see how it is.

No receipt, no formality.

The money passes, the stone passes

He doesn't even count the notes, why?

He knows me, I knows him

If I don't, there's trouble.

Take Goldfinger.

I heard that he was swindled
once by a jeweller in Rouen

Ran away with the girl and never paid up

His fault,

he should have known his man.

There's no excuse for
not knowing your men

- Do you think he had any enemies?

- Enemies, Goldfinger?

How should a man like that have enemies?

A shadow, a nothing, a go-between.

A typical broker.

- {chuckles) Thank you.

Did this typical broker by any chance,

owe you money?

- 3.000, I don't worry about it

- Do you hope to get it?

- Hope, it's a certainty

In this business,

if a man owes money and fails to pay,

it's the end, he's finished

He might as well be dead

{glass thuds)

And now, tell me,

what's happened to him?

(dramatic music)

{saxophone music)

- [Lucas] He's due in at any moment.

Hold on.

Oh, patron, Vienna on the line.

- Vienna?

- They wanna know about Bresson

We just picked him up at the Creole

Lapointe is bringing him over.

- Oh, all right

Hello, Maigret.

(indistinct)

Yes, we have him at last

Yes, if you have charges you
want to prefer against him,

we'll send him over to you

Oh, in a few years' time

Auf wiedersehen.

- I didn't know you spoke German

- Huh?

Oh, it's all I know, except for one word

I couldn't use to the
head of the Vienna police

- The press is clamouring
for news about Bresson.

- Why, what's all the fuss?

- [Lucas] He's a big fish

- Not much different from
any other businessman

as far as I can see.

Except that he does things
in a different order.

- Shall I tell them that?

- No, for heaven sake, no

Listening desk, please.

Say I'll issue a statement
as soon as he talks.

Where's Janvier?

- On his way to Toulouse.

- Hello, listening desk, Maigret

I want a report on all calls

to and from the apartment
of Madame Goldfinger

Yeah, 66B Rue LaMarque.

Yeah, will you give me
a transcription, please?

Thank you

Oh, hello, are you there?

And one for Inspector Lognon

{drops phone)

- Sad Freddy's back in the game again

- Hm?

- [Lucas] Left his fingerprints all over

a job at Cheranton

- Who did?

- [Lucas] Sad Freddy

- Oh.

- Commodore Bresson, patron

- Inspector, I want an explanation

- You shall have one.

Lucas?

Oh, Lapointe, explain to
the commodore, will you?

- Really, this is unheard of.

- Just a formality, Commodore

Take a seat please

Very well,

Now, your full name please

- You know my name.

Bresson, Claude Xavier Bresson.

Commodore.

- Claude Xavier Bresson, Commodore

What navy would that be?

(footsteps)

{suitcase slamming)

- Where shall I find you?

- I don't know.

I don't care.

I'd rather sleep on the streets

than spend another night
under the same roof as you

- There's nothing to
keep you now, is there?

- You wouldn't even go to see him

He was alone there.

Now you can't even bury him properly

- He's dead.

He wouldn't appreciate it

{patrons chattering)

- Only one of them?

- Gaston followed the sister-in-law.

She's just gone off with her bags

- So Madame's all alone, eh?

We know she hasn't made any phone calls

(door slamming)

We'll just see if her phone's working

{patrons chattering)

{phone dialling)

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing)

You're sure that she
hasn't left the building?

- Certain.

- Okay, so I think I'll pay her a call.

{patrons chattering)

{doorbell ringing)

{doorbell ringing)

- Oh, Inspector, please come in

I'm sorry if I've kept you waiting

I was asleep

I took something to make
myself sleep, and I

must have heard the bell in my dreams

- [Maigret] Which bell?

- Doorbell, I suppose

Please, sit down

Have you any news?

- [Maigret] You didn't come down to

identify the body yesterday.

- No, I couldn't. I wasn't well.

- Where do you keep your powder?

- Powder?

- Face powder and lipstick

- In there.

Oh, I put too much on

I put some on quickly
before I came to the door.

- Having woken up from a deep sleep?

- [Mathilde] Habit, you know

- You even put the lid back on, hm?

- [Mathilde] I usually do.

- Hm.

Tell me, did your husband
carry any life insurance?

- Yes, there are two policies

They're there beside you, funnily enough

One he took out when we
were married for 30,000.

And then later he took one out for 70,000

- Mm.

100,000 in all, huh?

- [Mathilde] Uh-huh

- Suicide.

Ah.

Well I see that they
cover death by suicide

provided it occurs more than a year

from the date of taking out the policy.

- Do they”?

- [Maigret] You didn't know that?

- I'm not sure about the legal terms.

- Well this one was taken
out eight years ago

So it's valid.

This one, the larger one,

was taken out 13 months ago

So that's valid too, by one month

You are fortunate.

- How can you say that?

- [Maigret] Was your husband
doing well 13 months ago”?

- No, not very

- [Maigret] And yet he
tripled his insurance cover

- I told him it was too
much, but he wouldn't listen

He was worried about his ulcer

and what would happen to me if he died

- Well now he has died,

so I wonder what does happen to you.

- You talk as if his
death meant nothing to me

- No, Madame, I talk as though his death

meant a great deal of money to you.

{doorbell ringing)

I wonder who that can be.

- No, I'l just let

Oh, Lognon

- Oh.

- Inspector, I ask you
as a man of sensibility,

I'm being horribly treated.

My feelings as a widow are being mocked

- Would you mind going to your bedroom

for a moment, Madame?

- It'll be a pleasure.

(door closing)

- I did not of course
expect to find you here

- Oh ng, no, I had a few moments to spare,

thought I might be able to help you

- That's very good of you

I've compiled a report on the interviews

with the various diamond merchants

who were acquainted with the deceased

- What did they think of him?

- Very little, he's a
poor sort of creature

in a small way of business.

- Poor little fellow, what had
he done to deserve a bullet?

- Aline of inquiry suggested
itself to me on my way here.

- Oh?

- I propose to ask Madame if
he carried a life insurance

- Oh, well, yes he did.

- You've already asked her

- Well then ask her again.
Ask her lots of questions

She doesn't like it.

- Can you suggest any
particular line of inquiry”?

- Oh, I don't know, ask her anything

Ask her about her hair.

- Her hair?
- Yes.

- How she manages to keep it so neat

when she's in such a deep sleep

that she doesn't hear
the telephone ringing

Our wives would like to know.

Why leave this here?

- She's probably cleaning the room

- She wasn't, she wasn't sleeping either.

See if you can find
out what she was doing

I have to go into court now,

but I'll be in my office later.

- Do you want me to make a report”?

- Oh, I'd be interested
to hear any developments

- I'l make a report

- If you have a list
of the other occupants

of the block, that might be interesting

- I'l append it to my report

- You haven't spoken to them yet?

- But what do you want me to do first?

I'm entirely at your disposal.

- I'l leave it to your
excellent discretion.

She can stew for a while.
It might be a good idea

- As you wish.

{doorbell ringing)

- Monsieur Correlli?

(dramatic music)

{soft music)

{door opening)

- [Lucas] This way, Commodore.

- [Maigret] Ah, Commodecre Bresson

I hope you're being well looked after

- Looked after?

It's outrageous.

Your people are mad

They da nothing but ask me my name,

first one and then the other.

When I've fold them my name.

I've told them my father's name.

I've told them my mother's name

I've told them where I was born.

And then somebody else comes
in and starts all over again

- Well, we have to pass the time somehow.

- [Bresson] I want a lawyer.

- Are you ready to talk?

- About what, for example?

- About your name, for example?

- There's a report from ltaly about those

stolen cars, patron

- Stolen cars”?

I thought we'd shelved
that case weeks ago

Italy, huh”

Italy

Commander Bresson, do you know Italy?

- [Bresson] No, I do not

- Lapointe, take the
Commodore into the next room

and ask him about Italy

- Certainly, patron.

This way, Commodore.

- But first his name.

- [Bresson] I want to see my lawyer.

- I give him half an hour

- Italy, Italy, Italian name

- Patron?

- When was it?

The day Polish Paul died,
now, who was with us?

- Ah, some uniform there
from the Ninth Sector

and that useless sergeant with some

sort of influence behind him.

- That's it, now what was his name?

- He was thrown out soon
after that for taking bribes

- I know, I know.

What was his name?

- Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue

Hold on, that was about
six months ago, wasn't it?

- Six months, is it as long as that?

- It should still be up here somewhere.

I don't know wha looks after
these darn files these days

Here we are.

Mariani.

- Mariani, I knew it was Italian

- It's Corsican, actually

- Oh, have we got an address for him?

- 16 Rue Canaval, Fourth Floor

- I wonder if he's still there.

Get on to the bureau at Langemans

- Bureau de Langemans.

- Mariani, yeah

He was the only other person
who knew that Polish Paul

rang me up ta insult me
before he shot himself.

(knocking on door)

Come in.

- Hello, have you got an
address for a Carlo Mariani?

Ex-sergeant from the Ninth
Sector was thrown out

some time ago for taking bribes

- Are you busy?

- Hm. Oh, Lognon, just
the man I wanted to see.

What did you get?

- I furnished myself with all the names

of the people living in the apartments.

And I questioned them as to their

whereabouts of the previous night.

- Yeah?

- Well, I obtained no
information of any significance,

but of course as following
your expression instruction,

I made what reports I could

They would have been here
sooner naturally, but--

- But you had to type them yourself, yes?

Now, who was there?

- Pifa, concierge
Alouette, seed salesman,

Correlli, what does he do?

- Lives on the third floor
above the Goldfinger apartment

- Does he?

- Fairly difficult to
obtain his occupation

because he was so uncooperative

- What sort of man was he?

- Oh, arrogant.

Struck me as having a
temper like his compatriots

- Italian, was he?

- No no, no no. Corsican

- [Maigret] So you put
him in his place, eh?

- No, I merely questioned him

as to his knowledge of Madame Goldfinger.

- And what did he say?

- Denied he'd ever met her.

- Is that the man?

- You--

- Fine detective work, Lognon, bravo

Right, excellent.

Now we better be careful
this time he's been warned.

He's done one Polish Paul.

He may try to do another

- Bresson is ready to talk

- Good, start taking his statement,

I won't be long

- I don't understand.

- He wants a smoke.

- What”? Yes, he can have a cigarette

And give him a cognac
too, if he wants one

Anything. so long as he talks

Ready, Lognen?

This is gonna be your triumph

{Lognon mumbling)

(throat clearing)

- Would you come in here please?

- I thought Inspector Maigret
would take my statement

- Oh, he's had to go out
on an important case

Take a seat, please.

You may smoke if you wish

Now.

- Where would you like me to start?

- First of all, your name.

- Emil Duvall.

- She's still there.

- At her flat or his?

- There's a light on in both

- Nowy, what do you want to do?

- Whatever you say, this is your case

It's your arrest, Sir Lognon

- Hardly

- Ch yes, all the work on this
case has been done by you

All the deductions have been done by you,

it's your right

- I'm obliged

- Shall I tell the van
to stand by, patron?

- Inspector Lognon will ask
for a van If he wants cne.

- I consider that Mariani
vill either resist

or attempt to escape

The latter plan seems the more likely

If he believes that the house
is covered in the front,

the only way he can get
out is through the roof.

I, therefore, shall
station myself on the roof

If he's not with Madame
Goldfinger at the moment,

he'll be in his own flat.

Now, listen, I suggest that
when I go onto the roof,

you two go and visit Madame Goldfinger

and inform her that we suspect him

When you leave her, she'll go straight up

to Mariani and warn him.

He will attempt escape,

and then I shall have him.

- But, Inspector, he may
not go onto the roof.

He may shoot his way out--

- Oh, of course, if the chief inspector

has an alternative plan, I'm
quite willing to adopt it

- No no, Lognon, we'll do it your way

You see, she may take some time

before she decides to go up and warn him.

- I'm accustomed to waiting

- Well, in that case, if
you're ready, we'll start

- I'm ready

- Shall I come with you, Inspector?

- No no, no ne, I don't want anybody

You will station yourself
opposite the house

so that they can see you.

- We'll go up to her in a few minutes.

- [Lognon] Thank you

- Good luck.

- Luck, it's a matter of planning

- Two Calvados.

(liquid pouring)

- Is it a good plan?

- It's Lognon's plan

He wishes to make the arrest,

I wish him fo.

It's Lognon's case,

I'm merely an interloper

- Hope he doesn't get himself shot

- I hope he doesn't get me shot

{train metal cluttering)

{doorbell ringing)

- Again, haven't I
answered enough questions?

- Take a look around, Lucas

Are you alone?

- Yes.

- The sister's gone, has she?

- To hotel.

- Why?

- She wanted it that way.

- Did you quarrel?

- I suppose you've been
questioning the concierge

Yes, we had a disagreement

- What about”?

- About the funeral.

I consider a first-class interment

unnecessary and ostentatious.

A second-class one would be perfectly

adequate for, well, for us.

- For a man like your husband, eh?

- Of course, you know
Eva was in love with him.

- Are you in love with Mariani?

- Who?

- You've been seen together

- No one here.

- Don't you have to have a warrant

in order to search
other people's property?

- Yes.

Of course, you could send for the police.

You need a plasterer too.

Someone's been knocking
your ceiling about

{broom banging)

(banging on floor upstairs)

Don't move.

Don't make a sound.

Has he got a key?

Lucas, cover the door.

You can't help him, but
you can help yourself.

{doorknob jiggling)

(gun firing)

(groaning)

Good work, Lucas

A clever man would have
thrown that into the river.

Or were you afraid to go out,

knowing the building was being watched?

- Nothing to say

- Never mind.

You'll tell us everything we want to know

- Not a word, don't say anything

- Do you really think

that a woman who can make 100,000 francs

out of her husband's death,

and then give him a second-class funeral,

is gonna risk the guillotine
to save her lover?

Take him down.

- All right, come on.

Come on, come on

{soft music)

{soft music)

(match striking)

- Fancy falling in the river
at five o'clock in the morning

- [Maigret] Moming, Daniel

- Merning, Uncle

Sergeant.

- Hi.

- [Maigret] Any coffee going?

- I've just put it on

- [Maigret] Fine, we'll wait.

Well, he talked

- Oh yeah, who was that,
your international crook?

- No, not him.

Well, he talked too, to Lapointe

No, the other one

One that rang us up and made rude remarks

- Mariani, sergeant, used tc be here

- What was he up to”?

- Well, he was the lover
of this little man's wife.

Decided it's time to get rid of him,

cash in on the insurance.

So, well of course, the motive
for murder was too obvious.

So he decided to arrange a suicide.

So he stole Goldfinger's gun,

put a silencer on it, and shot him

Then he took the silencer off,

dropped the gun on the ground by the body.

Took out his own gun,
went into a telephone box,

called us up and made a few rude remarks.

Fired a shot into the air, and went.

- [Lucas] He'd have got away with it

if you hadn't remember Polish Paul.

- No no, no no

Sooner or later, Lognon would have ...

Lognon, where is Lognon?

- He was to have made the arrest.

- Well we took him straight down

- [Lucas] I'm very much afraid, patron,

that he's still waiting.

- Oh.

(shoring)

{soft music)
