{upbeat music)

(mellow music)

- He better hurry up,

the case is due to start any minute now

That's him now I think.

Got him, yes, he's here.

Nicholas Cajou

- Why didn't you come forward before now?

- I was in hospital
monsieur, kidney trouble

- He only saw the photograph this moming

- Oh.

You are quite certain
that this is the woman

who visited your hotel?

- Oh yes, that's her

She came many times and
always with the same man

- Good teeth, tall, fair hair.

- Yes, if I saw him again, I'd know him

- What name did they give?

- He called her Pom Pom,

and she called him Pierro, Pierre

- We checked him on the
road scanner and nothing

- Didn't they sign your register?

- When it's only for an
hour in the afternoon?

But I don't want any trouble

- That's up to the judge

- Judge?

- I'm putting you up as a witness

in the trial of Gaston Meurant.

- Witness?

I don't want to be a witness,

and you can't make me, I know the law.

- Do you know the law about
keeping a disorderly house”?

Article nine, section four,
17th of February, 1947,

remember?

- I'm a sick man, I've
got ta get to the hospital

for me irrigation

- You won't die.

This woman's husband may

- Why, where does he come in”?

- He is Gaston Meurant.

He's standing trial this
morning for double murder,

but maybe your evidence could get him off.

All right, Lapointe, take him down.

Standby for calling the court

- Hows are we gonna sort this one out?

- Time, time

Six months to set up a case,

ten minutes before it starts

evidence that blows it to smithereens.

- I've gotten to be the
one to do the dynamiting

I've got to get an adjournment.

Oh, this is going to be a
field day for the press

Let me think.

Yeah.

- Cajou could be wrong or lying

- Well, I'd have to take a chance on him

It's Meurant's only hope

- Yes?

Good, he's on his way

They're waiting for you down in court.

- Right.

Come with me Lucas.

Meurant's wife is in the
public benches, second row

Now this is what I want you to do

- Chief Inspector Maigret

Chief Inspector Maigret.

(mellow music)

- Where is the witness?

This is intolerable, call him again

- [Court Worker] Chief Inspector Maigret?

{gavel banging)

- You are Jules Amedée Francois Maigret?

- [Maigret] I am.

- You are not a relative of
the accused or in his service?

- [Maigret] No

- Raise your right hand

Do you swear to speak the truth
and nothing but the truth?

- I do.

Monsieur Le President,

my most humble apologies for
keeping the court waiting

- It was you, Chief Inspector,

who directed the inquiry into the case,

which is now before us.

- It was, Mussier La President

- Tell the jury what you know

- On the 27th of September last year,

I was called to an apartment
on the second floor

of 27 B, room 91.

I was shown two bodies,

one, Leontine Faviers, age 67,

was the occupier of the apartment

The other Cecil Peren, a child of four

The woman had been stabbed,
she lay on the floor.

The child lay on the sofa,

her face buried in some cushions.

- Yes, the magistrate's report confirms

that the cause of the child's
death was suffocation

Continue.

- The caretaker in the apartments tell me

that Cecile was an orphan

who has been in the care of Madame Favier.

She said further, that Madame Favier

kept a large sum of
money in the apartment

- It's in a large urn, Chinese apparently,

filled with artificial flowers.

- [Duche] Monsieur La President”?

- Yes, Maitre Duche?

- If the caretaker knew
where the money was,

how could it be said to be hidden?

- It is a point Maitre Duche

- Of great significance to the
accused, Monsieur President.

I should like to know how
the caretaker discovered

that the money was kept in the urn

Alternatively, if it was common knowledge,

how many other people knew about it?

- You will have the opportunity

of questioning the caretaker later

- Yes.

- It was the caretaker who gave
the alarm the next morning

She used to look out for this child

when she left for school,

to give her a sweet, or
a cake, or something

When she missed her,

she went up to Madame Faviers apartment,

thinking the little girl might be ill.

Then she got there, the door was shut,

she could get no answer
so she called the police

who discovered the bodies.

- [Judge] You questioned
the other tenants?

- Yes, one of them Madam Loris

saw a man leaving the
building at approximately

5:30 in the afternoon of the 26th.

- Ah, yes, that was the day before

the bodies were discovered.

See, medical evidence
shows that the deaths

occurred between five
and 7:00 PM of that day

- Yes Advocate General, I have it here.

The witness described the man she saw.

- Yes, she said that he was
wearing a navy blue raincoat,

which struck her as new.

Also, she thought he had fair hair.

{bystanders murmur in surprise)

- She says possibly,

his hat was well pulled
down over his head.

- Well, that is so Monsieur

- Tell the court how you had occasion

to interview the accused, Gaston Meurant

- He came to see me on the following day

after reading about the
crimes in the newspapers

- [Judge] And what had he to say?

- He told me that he was
Madame Faviers nephew,

but that he hadn't seen her since January

And that, at the time of the murders

he was in his shop in Rue la Roguette

where he's a maker of picture frames

I asked him about the Chinese urn,

and he said he knew nothing about it.

- Well, what else did he say?

- He spoke of his brother, Alfred,

he used to visit his
aunt from time to time,

but he hadn't seen his
brother for two years.

- Ch yes, investigations were made,

it was found that Alfred Meurant,

the accused's brother,

had at the material
time been playing cards

with his friends at the Eucalyptus bar,

near the Porte Saint-Denis.

You visited the accused's shop

- 1 did.

And I spoke to his wife, Jeanette Meurant

She was unable to help me about

the movements of her husband,

because she had been out the cinema.

But, in other respects
she was more helpful?

- Yes, she sent me some clothes
hanging in a hall cupboard

Among them were two men's raincoats,

one of them forn, very dirty and old.

The other Navy blue and apparently unworn,

and stained with blood.

I took that avray for examination

- Ah, yes, the blood on the coat

proved to be of the same group
as that of Madame Faviers.

And on this, you arrested the accused

- Not at once, I pressed him
further about his aunt's money

He told me that he was very hard up,

the year before he
tried to set up his wife

in a small restaurant, but that failed

At the time of the crimes he was in debt

to the tune of 2000 francs.

- The debt was never paid,
Monsieur Le President

I should like to point out
the significance of this fact

- Yes, Maitre Duche,

it has not escaped our notice.

You will have the opportunity

of elaborating the point later

- Finally, he admitted visiting

his Aunt on the day of the murders,

with the intention of
asking her for the loan

{bystanders murmuring)

{gavel banging)

- Did he describe the circumstances?

- He did.

He said that on September the 26th

at sometime after five o'clock

he finished work and got ready to leave.

He put on his old raincoat, the forn one,

which he was wearing when
he left home that morning

- Ah, yes, this is confirmed
by the witness, Lonbrow,

who called to place an order

just as the accused was closing his shop

- That is so Monsieur Le President.

- Yes, his testimony will be heard later.

Continue.

- Well, the accused served Monsieur,

then according to his
story did not go home

but he took a Metro to the Rue Manuel.

He said he found the door
of the apartment ajar

and he went in, and saw his
aunt and the child dead.

- What are his actions
after this discovery?

- He closed the door and he went home,

he got dinner ready and
waited for his wife.

She came over from the
cinema about nine o'clock.

- Did he explain why he
failed to inform the police?

- He said he was afraid,

he thought he might be
accused in the crime.

And after that I submitted my report

to the examining magistrate
on October the 8th

And the accused was arrested the same day

- Yes, and that concluded
your investigations

- No, Monsieur, no

{bystanders murmuring)

- [Judge] Silence

The court will remain silent.

You continued your inquiries?

- Yes, Monsieur La President

- [Judge] At the instigation
of the magistrate?

- [Maigret] No, on my own initiative

- [Judge] Will you tell the court why”?

- Monsieur la President,

I am a subject to evidence being heard

that is not in the report

- That is a matter for my discretion

Your report to the magistrate states

that the evidence against the
accused seemed conclusive

Why then did you go on
with your inquiries?

- I don't really know why
Monsieur Le President

{bystanders chuckle)

I agree, the evidence did seem conclusive,

but there was something about this case

that filled me with some personal doubt

as to the guilt of the accused

- Perhaps you would care to be

a little more explicit Chief Inspector

- As Maitre Duche has already pointed out,

the caretaker also knew about that money.

- The caretaker is 71 and
afflicted with arthritis.

I really think we may eliminate
her as a possible criminal

(laughter)

It struck me also that two
other people may have known,

among them, the accused's brother, Alfred.

But Alfred Meurant had already

been eliminated by your own inquiry.

- He had an alibi,

but he also had a criminal
record for larceny

So had the two men who said

that he'd been playing cards with them

at the time of the murders.

- [Judge] You reexamined their evidence?

- I did Monsieur le President.

- [Judge] And found”?

- That they were all telling the truth

- In other words, the alibi stood first.

- Yes Monsieur le President.

- So you came to a dead end

- Not quite.

There was still the other person,

the accused's wife Ginette Meurant.

- [Judge] Oh, and what
did you do about her?

- I gave her photographs to my detectives

and asked him to investigate her movements

prior to the crime.

- With what result?

- I learned that before
her husband was arrested

she'd been in the habit of
going to cinemas and dance hall

- [Judge] Without his knowledge?

- [Maigret] He knew about the cinemas,

but not about the dance hall.

(laughter)

(gavel banging)
- [Judge] silence

- [Court Worker] Silence in court

- It is no occasion for laughter,

if these interruptions occur again.

I shall clear the court.

Chief Inspector, please proceed

- This inquiry also
seemed to lead nowhere,

but at my request, the
police of the Saint-Denis district

continued to shows her
photograph in their area

as a matter of routine.

This morning an officer
visited a small hotel

run by one Nicholas Cajou

Been in hospital for treatment
since last September

They also showed him the
photograph of Madam Meurant

- With what result?

- He identified it as
that of a young woman

who had paid repeated visits to his hotels

throughout the previous summer.

- [Judge] Can you tell
us for what purpose?

- As for that Monsieur le
President, I have no information,

but the visits were always
made In the afternoon.

Two or three times a week,

and always in the company of a man.

{audience murmuring)

{gavel banging)

- [Judge] Silence in court

Monsieur.

- Don't be a fool.

- Monsieur le President,

this revelation is of
the utmost significance

I request an adjournment in the hearing

of Nicholas Cajou and
Ginette Meurant in evidence.

{gavel banging)

- The court will stand
adjourned for 30 minutes

- Chief Inspector Maigret,

you will confide with me in my room

(mellow music)

- Yes, that's her

(mellow music)

(knocking)

-Comein.

- Patren, Inspector Depail

- How are you?
- Nice to see you again

Sorry to drag you all the
way over from Saint-Denis

- [Depoil] It's all right.

- It's the Rue Manuel case.

- The Rue Manuel,

well that's the murder of
the old woman with the child.

- That's right.

- How's it going”?

- We'll know soon I think,

sit down.

I've got to thank you
for some very good work

in locating Cajou

- Cajou?

- Yes, the hotel keeper who
identified Ginette Meurant

here she is.

- Well, it's my Sergeant Caron,
you've gotta thank for that,

a good man for routine

- Well, after six months investigation

this is more than a
routine, this is devotion

The point is, he's opened up a
whole new angle on this case

She always went to that hotel with a man

- He did?
- [Maigret] yeah.

- Do we know him?

- All we know at the moment
is that he's a big fella,

handsome. fair, about 30

He had good teeth,

and he was called Pierre or Pierro.

And that's what I wanted to see you about,

I've gotta find him.

- Anything of the gallery?

- Nothing.

- This Cajou, reliable?

- Well, I think he's telling the truth,

he knows that we can close his hotel.

- Pierre.

Pierro.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Do you mind if I use your phone?

Now there was somebody,
give me police HQ Saint-Denis

There was somebody,

what the devil was his name?

Melai?

Melo?

Oh, Tuscany, Depoil.

Do you remember that inquiry
we had from Amien last year?

Yes, the breaking and entering job

So I know he had an
alibi, what was his name”?

Millard.

- What's his first name?

- I want you to find Millard,

get him to call me back
at once, all right?

- Millard, Pierre Millard

- [Maigret] Who is he”?

- A country boy who thought
that Paris was his oyster,

we couldn't lay a finger on him.

- That sounds like him.

Attractive to women?

- Oh, fully equipped, yes

Bernard dealt with
the Amien inquiry.

- Lapointe?

- And they should have
a photo on file on him

- Yeah.

Lapointe

Get me a police
headquarters Amien will you”

- Well, it's a long shot.

- It's our only shot.

(phone rings)

- Hello Maigret.

- Ginette Meurant is just
going into the witness box now

- Right, let me know what happens

And Lucas, watch Meurant's face

when his wife is giving evidence.

I think that poor devil
would prefer a guillotine

- Right, I'll keep an eye on him.

- We shall hear the evidence
from Nicholas Cajou

that you frequently visited his
hotel in company with a man

- It's ale.

- [Judge] There was no man,
or, you didn't go to the hotel?

- It's a lie, it's all lies

- Turning to the day of the
murders, September 26th,

do you recall what your
husband was wearing

when he left for work that moming?

Yes, his grey suit and his old raincoat

- [Judge] A forn raincoat?

- Yes.

- And when he went off
that night to see his Aunt,

what was he wearing?

- What he always wore,

his grey suit and his old
raincoat, his new raincoat.

- [Judge] Dark blue coat?

- [Ginette] Yes, dark blue

- [Judge] He must've come home to change?

- [Ginette] I suppose so, I wasn't there.

- Then how do you know what he wore”

- He always wore the same-

- I'l ask you again, what
was your husband vsearing

when he went to see his Aunt?

- I don't know, I was at the pictures

- Thank you

{bystanders murmuring)

- You've got me all confused,

when you said that about-

- You may stand down

Call Nicholas Cajou

- [Court Usher] Nicholas Cajou

(mellow music)

- All right Bernard, now give
me the completest detail,

everything you can remember.

- Amien are you still there”?

Of course I'm still here.

How long does it take you to find a file?

- What was that road, bridge to the nose,

ves I've got that

Any marks?
- Lapointe?

Where do they keep their
files, under the bed?

- All right, now how was he dressed?

- Pour us another Cognac

- Nevermind, just a general impression

- I expect they're looking at a loft now

A photegraph, that's all I want.

- Bowtie, yes.

- Yes, you've got it?

Good, now what I want you
to do with the photos

What?

What do you mean no photo”?

Oh God, I give up

All papers passed to Lyon January 1961.

- Yes, I'm sorry

- Well, it's a good description.

It's very good

Well, we ought to be able to
get pretty near it with this,

Lapointe, come see what
you can make of this

- [Lapointe] Yes sir.

- Right, now.

Here we go again

Hello?

I want the police headquarters Lyon.

And on each of these
occasions he was with a woman

you have pointed out to us in the court”?

- [Cajou] Yes

- [Maigret] How many times?

- All together each week.

- [Maigret] What do you mean?

- Well, it was over several months.

- [Maigret] And several times each week?

- Yes.

- [Maigret] How many?

- About three or four times.

- [Maigret] Let me repeat that,

you let a room in your hotel

three or four times a
week in the afternoon,

to a man you only knowy
as Pierre, or, Pierro

And on each of these occasions

he was with the same
woman, Ginette Meurant®?

- Yes.

- [Maigret] Thank you, you may stand down

- Advocate General, I don't
know hows long you require-

- I do not propose to be
lengthy Monsieur La President

If I address the court now

you may find it convenient
to sum up this afternoon

- I am very much obliged

We may expect to reach a verdict

without running into a second day.

- We have heard that this bar,

the evidence of some unexpected witnesses.

But members of the jury,

the charges which weigh
against the accused

are still the same.

And the question is which?

(phone rings)

- Well, what do you think about that?

- Not bad.

Not bad at all.
- Lyon, good

Long time to get through to you.

Well, have you got the file?

It's been passed on?

In heaven's name, what
is it about this file?

What?

You think it's been passed on?

Well, would you be so kind
as to check up please?

Yes, as soon as possible

Not at all, I'l be very
much obliged to you

Thank you very much

Lyon may have lost the Millard file now

I don't know, how are you getting on?

What's this?

- It's from Millard's
description, all my own work

- Attractive to women, that's
enough to frighten the horses

No. until we get a photograph on Millard

we're chasing shadows

(huffs) It's an absolute fass

that I can't get ahold of this file.

Apart from Cajou we've got nothing

that says this man Pierro exists

Let's have another look at this thing.

- Well, it's worth a try

- All right, Lapointe,
have it photocopied,

show it to everyone who might've

seen Pierre Millard,
or Ginette's fancy man

If they're the same person

Millard, Cajou, Madam
Loris, the caretaker,

even the children who
play about in the court

- Photographic department please

- I think I'l show it to
Gaston's brother, Alfred, myself.

(phone rings)

Hello Maigret

Lucas?

Right, coming over.

The jury is out, want to take a bet”?

- After Cajou's evidence,

it was the only way it could go

- Yeah, how did he take it?

Here she is.

(chattering)

- Gaston isn't it wonderful?

Gaston?

Gaston?

- 1 don't like that situation much.

- Gaston, wait for me

I'll get a taxi and take you home.

Taxi?

Taxi?

- Lucas.

Keep an eye on them for a bit.

(tense music)

(whistle)

(mellow music)

(mellow music)

(phone ringing)

- Hello, Maigret.

- Good morning

- [Maigret] Lucas, good morning

- Gaston left the house about six o'clock.

- Six, what time is it now?

- [Lucas] It's after eight

- You've been there all that time”?

I'm sorry Lucas, I've been here last night

waiting for that call from
Lyon about the Millard file

I must've dozed off,

I should've sent someone to relieve you

Well, how's Gaston being going on,

what's he been doing?

- He's training for the marathon I think

He's walked for miles,

he's been to two workmen bistros,

cafe Cognac, cafe Cognac

Then he went to a pawn shop,

now he's in third Bistro cognac

- What did he want in the pawn shop?

- 1 didn't have time to find out,

I didn't wanna lose him.

- Where are you now?

- (indistinct) on the left
bank near the Pont Neuf.

- [Maigret] What about the wife”?

- Well, as far as I
know still at the house.

- I see, all right,

I'll send someone to keep watch.

Lucas you go home, you go home to bed

- Bed, good

What about Gaston?

- I have a pretty good
idea where he's heading

- [Torrance] Patron?

- Who's that, Torrance?

- [Torrance] Yes Patron

- Come in here, will you?

- [Torrance] All right.

Good morning Patron

- Good morning Torrance

Now we just need to go
to Rue Charone, right away

Did you know Ginette Meurant™?

- Yes, I have seen her

- Well, I don't think that she'll move,

but if she does keep on her tail,

let me know what happens.

- Right.

- Oh, wait a minute.

On your way out leave
a message at the gate,

I'm expecting a visit from Gaston Meurant

I'm not sure when but I'm sure he'll come,

when he does I want him
shown right up here

- Yes Patron.

(mellow music)

- What, passed to Bordeaux?

What for?

This blasted Millard file is
absolutely driving me mad

Get onto Bordeaux before
they send it to Madagascar

- Monsieur Meurant to see you sir

- You wanted to see me monsieur Meurant?

Do sit down.

Take your coat off.

There's a chair over there.

- I suppose you think I've
come to say thank you?

- You must be very tired Mr Meurant

- What you did yesterday in court,

I've come to say I'd
rather been in prison

What you've done is wicked

Cajou, people like that,

you can make them say what you like

- You did kill your Aunt and the child?

- You know I didn't.

- I don't know anything,

I don't think you did

Because there are a lot of
children there, aren't there?

On the stairs, in the courtyard,

some of them toddlers
like poor little Cecile

- Well?

- Isn't that sir?
- Well?

- I need you to take your coat off

- No thank you

- You used to talk to
the kids, didn't you?

The caretaker said you did

- Sometimes.

- They come out of school at four,

up to that time your Aunt would be alone.

You wanted money,

even if you had to kill
your Aunt to get it

- 1 did not kill her.

- Let me finish.

If you had planned to kill your Aunt,

you would've gone round before four,

to be sure of finding her alone

Because you love children

You couldn't kill one.

Cigarette”

- Thank you

- Either the murderer
didn't know about the child,

or, he had some special reason

for committing the crime at
that time in the afternoon.

- What are you getting at?

- If he knew about the money in the urn,

he probably knew about the child

All the same, the child was committed

some time after five o'clock,

because he knew that was the time

you used fo visit your Aunt

And that's exactly what you did, isn't it?

- I found. .

- I know what you found

- Meurant, that coat of yours.

The blue raincoat,

was it hanging in your hall cupboard

when you left home that morning?

- Yes.

- If you didn't wear
it to visit your Aunt,

somebody must've come to your
apartment and taken it away

And come back later to return it,

this time stained with blood.

But your wife was out

- Yes.

- Then how did this someone get in?

There was no sign of forced entry,

he must've used a key.

How many keys are there to your apartment”?

- Two.

- One for you, one for your wife,

- I don't know what you mean

My wife...

- Was going about with
a man called Pierre.

- That's just a lie that pimp Cajou

- She could've met him
in your brother's bar,

the Eucalyptus

- She never went there after...

- [Maigret] After what?

- After I quarrelled with Alfred

- Why did you quarrel?

Because he was showing too
much interest in her as well?

Gaston, you know the truth about her

Why don't you face it?

- She's good

She told me she loved me,

she's waiting for me.

- She loved you and she's waiting for you”

Yesterday she tried to
send you to the guillotine

- No.

(knocking)

- Yes?

- All right.

She skipped Patron.

-Goon.

- Before I got there

The caretaker said she left about seven,

with a suitcase.

- Thank you Torrance.

Not waiting it seems.

Where's she gone Gaston?

To see Pierre?

Gaston.

- It's all right, I'm not gonna kill her.

- [Maigret] I know.

- And I'm not gonna
throw myself in a river

- I know that too, you came here

just to find out about
Pierre Millard, didn't you?

To make sure.

A man who could strangle a child,

he'd kill you without thinking.

We both want him Gaston,

but leave him to us.

- Yes, we both want him,

but not for the same crime.

{door slams)

Lapointe, Gaston Meurant
just left my office,

follow him, don't let
him out of your sight

(phone ringing)

Maigret.

Bordeaux, right, at last.

Well, have you got the file?

You have?

And the photo?

Good.

No, there's no time for that,

this is what I want you to do

{upbeat music)

- [Cajou] It's him

- You're quite certain”

- Yes, that's him, that's the man

Pierre, Pierro.

- Right.

- If they won't give me their names,

what can I do?

Look, Inspector, you
won't report me, will you?

I'm a sick man and I've
got to make a living

- All right.

- Thank you Inspector, thank you.

- Any more blanks in your
books and we close you down,

that's a promise

- All right, I'll see
they put their names down,

I don't want anymore of
this kind of trouble.

- Hey

- Maigret.

I'm just across the road
from the Eucalyptus bar

Gaston's in there.

- He is?

Right, if he comes out, follow him.

Report when you can, but
don't lose sight of him

Torrance?

- [Torrance] Patron?

- Call Lucas at his home,

I want him to meet me
at the Eucalyptus bar

Gaston's in there, I wanna know why

- What does he want?

You didn't tell him I was here?

- What do you take me for?

He just wanted some money

(tense music)

(tense music)

- It's alright for you to talk,

you didn't have to go through
what [ did last night

- Calm down, come on, have a drink

- He's looking for me,

he'll kill me, I know he will.

- Which one, Pierre or Gaston?

- Oh, you're very funny

You don't know what he's like.

All last night he never closed his eyes,

he never spoke to me and then
this morning he just went out

Well, I wasn't gonna wait.

- Come over.

- I haven't done anything to him

- Oh, not much

You didn't tell Pierre about the money,

you didn't give him the key
and tell him how to get the-

- Oh, shut up

You can talk to me like
that after what you've done

What the hell am I gonna do?

He won't let it rest,

- He won't.

- How do you know?

- Nevermind.

- What have you done?

- Wake up baby, why should
you care what happens?

- You've put him onto Pierre

Just like old times, eh baby?

Leave me alone.

If they find you lie away,

you don't know where Gaston is or Pierre

(knocking)

- [Maigret] Open up

- Why are you closed?

- Can't a man have a little shut eye”

What can I get you Inspector?

- What did your brother want?

Nice of you to pass on the message,

Of course I knew we would be,

embarrass a lady Inspector

- Well...

- My sister in law

- Let's have a family
conference, shall we?

What a pity Gaston isn't here.

Does he know you're here?

No, I'll bet he doesn't

All I want from you, one little thing,

I wanna know where he is.

Anyone seem him?

Nobody knows?

- Pierro, so that's who you meant?

- Yes, that's who I meant, where is he?

- I wouldn't know.

- What have you got to say”?

- She wouldn't know, she's never-

- Shut up!

I'm beginning to get tired of you Alfred.

All right, I'l put it another way,

has either of you told
Gaston where Pierre is?

No. you wouldn't

But you.

- Is Gaston here?

- No, he's gone.

Lapointe's on his tail

- I checked with the pawn shop,

he swapped his watch for a gun.

A heavy Belgian
automatic, only two shells

- Lapointe's sticking his
neck out, he's unarmed

- Pierre.

Gaston will kill him, just kill him

- Shut up.

- He did it.

- He did it, he arranged
it all with Pierre

and he told Gaston where Pierre is.

What sort of a game do you
think we're playing”?

- Listen you

I don't give a damn for your hide,

one of officers is in danger for his life.

Now, for the last time,

and this is the last time,

where's Pierre Millard?

- He's at (mumbles),

the old house between
the river and the canal.

{upbeat music)

(mellow music)

{upbeat music)

- They're here, that's Lapointe's car.

- Yeah, that'll be the house

Excuse me Madam.

They're both here

Pierre's out fishing,

Gaston left for the
river a few minutes ago

(tense music)

- Gaston!

Gaston!

- That's Lapointe, come on

- Don't be a fool, give me that gun

No Gaston!

(gunshot)

Come on now Gaston.

Give me the gun.

- All right now Gaston, drop it.

(gunshot)

{loud splash)

(mellow music)

Poor devil.
