(giggling)

- Oh.

- Hey. look out

- Send the boy in, Josh

He should be in bed.

(chattering and laughing)

- I'm off now, Mama

- Don't be too late, Juliette

- Oh, don't worry

Bye, Papa

- Ah, Juli

Where you off to then?

- I've got a date.

- Ah (laughs).

- Here, Stefan, he's impossible

Why can't you come when I call you?

(soft suspenseful music)

{Juliette screaming)

- What was it?

- Somebody screamed

- Go and look.

- Yes, right.

(panting)

(dramatic music)

(match striking)

{upbeat accordion music)

{soft music)

- Check.

- Resign.

- Five o'clock, might as well knock off

There's nothing cooking here.

- Except me.

Lucas.

Quick, get a picture

- All right, boys, it's in there,

there's plenty to go round

- Lucas, who's your prisoner?

- The Crown Prince of Russia.

- You're taking it lightly

- You tell me.

(door closing)

- What's up?

- The uniform man.

- Alphonse from Montmartre.

- From Montmartre?

With an offering from Maigret?

Could be.

- The Montmartre killer. What did you get?

- A good shot of his arse.

- Five women murdered in
the road. It better be him

- So, you've got your madman, Sergeant

- Madman, what madman?

- Jack the Montmarte Ripper.

Come on, Torrance, who made the arrest?

- Now who says anyone's been arrested, eh?

- Oh, thanks for the coooperation

Time for late edition.

- Too late.

- He's gone to phone it in.

This place'll be buzzing in 10 minutes

We might run a special with this picture

- We'll wait.

- Oh, midnight

- LaPointe.

(reporters shouting questions)

- Beer and sandwiches. Looks
like an all-night session

- They've sweated long enough

So have we.

Here we go

- Come on, Maigret, what is it?

- Wait now, wait. Hold on, hold on.

- Nowy, you boys know
that I always give you

as much as I can as soon as I can.

{reporters laughing)

All I can tell you just now is that

there's a man in there, and
he's helping the police

- Is that all, Inspector?

- I'l give you a fuller
statement as soon as I can.

- Any chance in the next 20 minutes?

- Before the moming editions

- Can't promise anything

- Can we have his name?

- He may be innocent. You
wouldn't wanna see him lynched

- Does he come from Montmartre?

- We picked him up there

- Did Sergeant Lucas make the arrest?

- No one's been arrested.
He's helping the police

- [Reporter] Can we say
he's the Montmartre killer?

- (chuckles) You'll have
to use your discretion.

(door opening and closing)

- That's good enough for me

Half past 12

- I think we've done it.

- [Lucas] I wouldn't count on it

- Well, there's nothing
else I can count on.

- Nowy, I want inspectors
Cadinouche, Vierge

and LeMoine, and Madame Dauphoie here

at what time do the moming
editions come off the press?

- Four o'clock.

- Make it 4.15. Begin
telephoning now, Lucas

And they're not to come in police cars.

- [Lucas] Right.

- [Madame Dauphoie] The Montmarte Killer

- Question mark.

So that's what you've been up to?

- Then this means you've got the murderer

- If it means that to you, that's good

Now we can start.

Because tonight, we're gonna get him

The real killer.

- Then who's this in the photograph?

- A decoy to fool the press.

I'm trying to set a trap to catch him

And this is the bait so kindly provided

by our friends in the press

Now, the murders have all been
in this sector of Montmartre.

There's Rue Dravell, the Rue Savostique,

the Rue Lepic, and two alleyways here

lying to the northeast of Sacre Couer.

Now he's got away every time
because he knows every twist,

every alley, every wall
that can be climbed.

- [Cadinouche] So we know he lives

or has lived in Montmartre?

- [Vierge] That's all we
know, after five months

- [Maigret] I must bring
him out in the open

- With this?
- With that

- [Vierge] How do you
think this will work?

- Vanity.

I believe that we're
looking for a megalomaniac

Five women killed in five months.

Now, in a few hours, he'll
read in his newspaper

that the brave, magnificent
murderer has been caught,

and he'll see this picture.

And his vanity won't stand it

- 80 he'll confess?

- No.

I think it far more like that he'll go

out again, with a knife.

- But surely--

- That is the risk I'm taking

I'm counting that he will go out tonight.

And that means that we all have a lot

to organise the next few hours

Now, Madame Dauphcie, you'll be in charge

of the women's section, and
yours will be the worst job

I want you to find me
at least 20 volunteers,

who will go out into the
streets here, at intervals

The dark streets, alone,
between 9:30 and midnight

- All the information
about times and names

of streets is there.

Now the women should wear
normal summer clothes

and they must all be experts in judo

- The dangers will be very great.

- I know. We'll do all
we can to reduce them.

- I'm sure you'll get your
volunteers, Chief Inspector

- Thank you, Madame. I'll be in touch

- Good morning, gentlemen.

- Good morning.
- Good morning

- Nowy, gentlemen, you've all seen the map

You'll each be responsible
for one sector of it.

I want to seal off the whole area.

This creature must be caught

- But Montmartre is not our district.

- Exactly, I wanted men whose faces

are unknown in Montmartre.

You're from the outer districts.

I want also four inspectors
from each of you

- That's going to leave me very short,

but you shall have them.

- Good.

Now they're to start
moving in this morning

They're to be tourists

With cameras, suitcases, a few with wives

Hotel rooms have been booked
in and around the area

and all windows face the street.

Now from dusk on, your men
are to be on the streets

or at the windows.

Everyone in their final positions by 8:30,

ready to move the moment
the killer strikes

- It seems a pretty desperate plan

- tis. And it's got to work.

- Full instructions are
here with detailed maps

of the sectors you're
each responsible for

Now contact'll be by radio
from the positions marked

- Operation Montmarte

- It's 10 to five now.

Start moving in your men in the morning,

and everyone in their final
positions at 8:30, right?

- Right
- Very good

- Now that's it. The
whole area's sealed off.

People dotted through it like flies

- Yeah, where's the ambulance?

- It's right there, Patron

- 9:10, half an hour to dark.

First girl leaves Place
Blanche Metro in 20 minutes.

- Right, the trap is set.

{soft mysterious music)

(vehicles passing)

- Abbesses, Coulaincourt,
Blanche, Saint Ristique

Three cars there, there and there.

Lamarck, two, there and there.

- Torrance, are you there?

(tapping on window)

- Yes, Patron

- Anything reported?

- Nothing at all, Patron
nothing at all from anyone

Coulaincourt?

Oh yes, LaPointe sent an officer down.

It's all right now.

- I'm in position now.

Keep in touch

- Right, Patron, and good luck

- Whew, sticky.

- Lucas?

Who's there?

Oh, Sergeant Lucas there?

- One moment, sir. Sergeant Lucas?

- Hello.

- Chief inspector.
- What'd you say”?

- Chief inspector

- Patron?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

We're all set.

Mm-hm.

It's just coming up to 9:30

The first girl should be
leaving Place Blanche Metro

(soft suspenseful music)

- Check with the patron

- What is it, LaPointe?

- Cochet wants to know if he should stop

anyone moving into the area

- I thought I made that clear.
No ene is to be stopped

{suspenseful music)

(saucer rattling)

- More.

- No, thanks, I'm full of it.

{suspenseful music)

(gun clicking)

11:30.

I wonder if this is going to work.

{cat meowing)

{suspenseful music)

- The fifth girl has just
been through the area

She's at the Pigalle Metro now

Blanche Chartier asking
if she should try again.

- Try again? What the
hell are they thinking of?

- 8h, sh, sh.

- No, she's done her job
Leave it to the others.

- Right, I'll tell her.

That's another one who can go home alive

Hello, Blanche

(soft suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

(screaming continues)

(engine roaring)

(whistle blowing)

- I'm all right

- She's there, Patron.
She'll be all right

(gun firing)

(siren blaring)

- You all right now?

Good.

Did you see him?

- Sit down.

- Thank you

- I'l get you a drink

- Water, please

- Only water after all that?

- I don't drink.

Thank you

If I could have a cigarette

- Yes.

Mm-hm.

(coughing)

- I don't smoke either.

- Torrance
- Patron?

- Call the lab right away

I want Dr. Gordot up here right away

(phone ringing)

- Hello, Maigret.

Yes, Lucas

Did you get him?

What?

He can't have got away

He must be still inside
the area somewhere.

Well no one's to leave his
post until he's caught

Yes, and you get up
here right away, Lucas

Right.

Damn, damn, damn

- I can't think how I let
him slip. I teach judo

I should have caught him.

- You did well.

Now, did you know that he was behind you?

- I heard. Something rattled

I heard steps. I turned

He had a knife.

- So he turned. You saw him?

- It was so quick, it was the knife I saw

I was catching him in the forearm hold and

then his hand slipped through mine.

- Was it a rough hand?

- No.

He had a ring. I felt it

- What kind of a ring?

One with a stone, or
a signet ring perhaps?

- No, I'd have felt a stone

Smooth.

- Like a wedding ring, hm?

Could be.

Well that's something

- Then I suppose I snatched at his coat

- Yes.

Yes, you got us a piece of
cloth as well as a button.

How long have you been
on the police force?

- Two years.

- Oh, did they teach you to
kiss young men under lampposts”?

I saw you.

- That was my fiance. I thought ...

I thought (cries).

- Now, there there there there

You thought it might
inspire the murderer, hm?

Well that was going too far.

Now, what colour was his hair?

- I couldn't see. It was too dark.

But I remember his eyes

They were bright.

- Mm-hm, was his hair short?

- My hand touched it

No.

No, it was long. It fell over his ears.

- So we know that he had long hair,

smooth hands, bright
eyes and a wedding ring

Hm, it's not much for a night's work.

Dr. Gordot? Here we are.

What do you think?

- It's a good class of button

We'll have to see the wholesalers.

I couldn't trace a button, not from here

You can tell the cloth by the feel

It's English worsted, imported.

- Will a tailor recognise it?

- Recognise it?

You see that blue strand of fine,

long stable marine
running through the grey?

- Yeah.

- That is as good as a fingerprint

- [Tailor] This is the cloth

- Yes, that's it

What sort of buttons did
you use on this cloth?

- Plain grey.

Except for a suit that we
made for a Monsieur Mongcin.

He insisted on grey flecked with blue

- Do you have Monsieur Moncin's address?

- Yes, Monsieur

- Yes?

You sure?

Are you watching the entrance”

Well leave the telephone
and get there now.

The name is Moncin, 228
Bishe Boulevard, St. Germain

Surround the block.

- Police cars?

- Yes, we're out in the open now

- Transport.

- No one to leave the building
No one to enter either.

- Hello, Transport, 228
Bishe Boulevard, St. Germain

- I'll telephone for a taxi.

(match striking)

{doorbell ringing)

- Excuse me, Madame

I'd like to talk to you and Mr. Moncin

- My husband is much too busy
to see anyone this morning

- I'm from the Criminal
Justice Department, Madame

Chief Inspector Maigret.

(door closing)

Are you going away?

- Yes, we have a train to catch

- Mm, holiday?

- No, business

- What is your husband's business?

- He's an architect.

- Mm-hm.

- Could I get my husband to telephone you?

- I'm sure you'll understand, Madame

I have to see him now.

(knocking on door)

- Marcel, it's the police

- Look, you can't come
into my room like this

Why did you let him? I'm not even dressed

I suppose you must be Maigret.

I know your face from the newspapers.

- Do you take an interest
in crime, Monsieur?

- No, he doesn't

It's much too sordid.

Marcel is an artist.

- What did you wish to see me about?

- [Maigret] Last night, I crime
was committed in Montmartre.

We're questioning a lot of people.

- If you're looking for
witnesses, you can count me out

I wasn't there.

I was not in Montmartre last night.

- He was here, working

- I was here, working

It was on the plans for a country house

I'll show you, if you like.

You see?

- Did you have to work late
into the night on that?

- [Marcel] I started just after dinner

and then into the small hours, yes

- He went to bed about one o'clock.

I heard him from my room.

- In any case, I wasn'tin
Montmartre. I never go there

At least that isn't exactly true.

I do go there sometimes,

but that is just to visit my mother.

- Could I have her address?

- Yes, certainly.

It's the corner of the
Rue Maistre on the 27th.

- But you haven't been there
for weeks, have you, Marcel?

And that is all the
inspector wanted to know

Now if you'll excuse us, we
do have a train to catch.

You really must get ready, Marcel?

- I'd be only too pleased
to help, Inspector

but you see, don't you”?

- Monsieur Moncin?
- Mm-hm.

- Do you have an English worsted suit,

grey, flecked with blue”

- No, no, I have never had such a--

- Marcel, you can't have forgotten

- Oh, you mean that suit. Yes, of course.

Yes. but I don't have it now

- But you were wearing it onl--

- Not since last Monday

Oh, didn't I tell you?

No, I was on a bus and
someone with a cigarette

burnt a hole in it, in the lapel.

So I gave it away.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I really must get ready

- Couldn't you have got your
suit mended, Monsieur Moncin?

- I am extremely particular
about my clothes

I can't bear to wear anything
that has been mended.

- When did you give it away”?

- It was Monday about lunchtime

To a ragged old man. Excuse me, please

- Where did you find him?

- Really, why do you want to know?

It was somewhere on the Left Bank.

I don't keep a diary about
these things, you know.

- That's a pity, Monsieur Moncin,

because I want to know about that suit.

So if you come to my
office, we could discuss it

- I agree to come

- Marcel, you are not to allow this.

He has no right.

All you've done is to
throw away a ruined suit

- I'm going with him

But [ am going because I choose to go

- All right then. We'll
take the afternoon train.

- Very well, as you wish

I'm ready.

- Inspector Maigret?

- Yes.

- Could I have a word with you alone?

- Yes, Madame.

LaPointe?

Wait outside with him.

- Yes, Patron

{door opening)

(door closing)

- Thank you, no

- It's about that girl who was attacked

last night, isn't it”

But Marcel wouldn't do anything like that.

He's too gentle

- He's not accused so far
of doing anything at all

- He's delicate, and easily upset

You won't be brutal with him, will you?

I couldn't bear that.

- Questions will be asked, Madame.

That's all he will have to bear.

Good morning, Madame

(door closing)

{soft music)

(light music)

(chuckling)

- Oh, it's a shame, isn't it there?

(whistling)

(whistling)

- My God, what's?

- Good news, you can live
for 72 hours without sleep

Come on, we've got work to do

- Work? What work now?

- We're gonna see every
down and out in Paris,

and find out which one, if any, is wearing

an expensive English worsted suit,

a present from a charitable
murder, with one button missing

- Oh, is that all?

Where's the patron?

- With his mother, the murderer's

- Well did your son come to
visit you last night, Madame”

- No, he never comes. Practically never

- Quarrelled?

- I've never quarrelled
with my son. It's his wife

But I'm not going into details

- You don't get on with
your daughter-in-law, hm?

- I have nothing further
to say on that subject

I arranged that marriage,
and a lot of thanks I've had.

Not that I care.

- Had he known her long
before he married her?

- They went to school together,
just around the corner

- So he'd know this part
of Montmartre pretty well?

- That's not a crime.

And if you're here to
suggest that he's a crim--

- How often does he
come to see you, Madame?

- I've told you.

- I can't believe that he's given up

seeing his mother altogether

How often? Once a month?

- He hasn't been here for
months, and if you want to knows

any more, you've got to ask his wife

She's in charge

- I see.

Has your son ever had any
serious illness, Madame?

- No.

Nothing.

Oh no, he, he was always perfect

- And what was his father?

- He was a butcher. You saw
the shop as you came in

- Did he ever think of putting
his son into the business?

- No, he tried. I soon put
a stop to that (laughs)

I don't wish to discuss my husband

Look, as a little boy,

does he look as if he
could ever be a butcher?

He can't even stand the sight of red meat

And look, here he is at 12

- Looks very delicate.

- Oh, he was an artist,
from the beginning

He made this when he was
only seven. Only seven

- Yes.

- He was always different.

- Yes, I see

- And he always looked so
neat, in his little suits

She would be running around with her

hair up and hanging off

- And then when day he
grew up and left you

- He never left me. It was her.

When her father died
he was only a chemist,

she got some money and then,

then she took Marcel away

- Young married people usually
like to be away on their own

- He doesn't.

He doesn't even want to
be married, not to her

Listen, when she lived here in my house,

my kitchen was always full of smoke

Cigarettes, burning saucepans

He had to eat the results of it.

- So it was because
she was a bad cook, hm?

- It was because of ...

Because of everything

Just look what she's done to him.

- He must be very difficult to look after

- Oh, what do you knows about it?

- Not very much so far,

but he's waiting for me now in my office.

- I won't let you keep him. I won't

He shall have every penny I possess

He'll have all my money

I shall get him the very
best solicitor in Paris.

I'll get him out of your hands

- Yes, get him a solicitor.

- Oh, but he won't need one

He's a clever boy, Marcel

Much too clever for you

(traffic passing in distance)

- Look. I have been here for hours

And nobody's even spoken to me

What do you think you're doing”

- I'm waiting

- Waiting?

What for?

- The rest of the evidence.

I suppose I'm not even
allowed to eat or drink

- But of course, what would you like?

Some kind of wine, beer, cognac, hm?

- Lemon squash

- Send up some lemon squash,
will you, in a hurry?

It's on its way

(phone ringing)

Hello, Lucas

She is?

No no, tell her to wait just a moment

No no, no, tell her to wait.

{phone hanging up)

- Which one?

My wife?

My mother?

- Neither.

- So you're going to start now?

I can't stand violence.

- There isn't going to be any violence

Have you had anything to eat or drink?

- There's some lemon squash on its way up

- I never touch alcohol.

- Cigarette”

- I don't smoke, either

In fact, the smell of that pipe of yours

is extremely distasteful to me

- Take him down now, Lucas

- All right, come on.

Come on, move

{phone dialling)

{speaking foreign language)

- Good, let's have you in a straight line

All right, you can stand where you like.

Come on, come on

(traffic passing in distance)

(whistling)

(traffic passing in distance)

- Come on, it's all right

- Show your hands, cut in front

- Look at them all carefully

Don't hurry

- Could the man at the end
turn his head to the right?

- On the end, will you turn
your head to the right?

- That's him.

- [Maigret] Are you sure?

- Yes, it's his eyes.

I saw them.

- All right, come on.

All right, gentlemen, thank you

- All right, sit down.

(door closing)

- Well, now that we've got so far,

why don't you tell us the truth?

- The girl was lying.

- I'm quite sure she wasn't

- She passed me the first
time. She wasn't sure

You admit that?

- Patron, I've got something
for you. You want it now?

- What?

Oh ves, yes

- Come on, come on in this way

Come on.

{tramp moaning)

- Torrance.

What's the old man's story?

- Well he says he thinks
his name is Armond.

And at about three o'clock this morning,

or it might have been
four, he was sleeping

by one of the bridges over the Seine

He can't remember which one.

Anyway, he woke up in time
to see a bundle being thrown

off the bridge, some of
it landed on the bank

and the other half,
that'd be the trousers,

dropped in the water.

- Take the jacket off him

- Come on, over here

- It's burned, just as I said

Torrance, call the lab right way

Tell Dr. Gordot I have to
know when that spot was burnt

- Right, Patron.

- Pockets, cigarettes in pocket

- All right, old man, all right

Here, go and buy yourself some food

Now, take your rubbish out.

LaPointe, fix him up with an old jacket.

- I want to see my wife. And my mother

- Your wife, and your mother?

- Uh-huh.

- I suppose they've made you very unhappy

between them, haven't they?

Perhaps it wasn't your fault

I suppose you were afraid of your father

with his big butcher's knives.

So you let your mother turn you into a

Well, your father was a
man. He worked for a living

What work have you ever done”

- 1am an architect?

- [Maigret] Qualified?

- All right, maybe I
didn't pass the exams

Call me a failure, if you like

- Failure?

You're a pet

A little pet dog, kept clean and neat

and pretty by these two women.

Allowed to play at architecture

because it doesn't make a mess.

But it's difficult for a
pet to have two owners

They fight aver you

They fight over your food, everything.

- won't listen. I want to go

- 50 you began to nurse a
dream of hitting back at women

Any women

A man with a knife, a hero

But if I slapped your face,
you'd burst into tears

- You're perfectly right, you know

I'd never commit murder.

I am far too much of a coward.

- Perhaps you never meant to kill anyone

Perhaps you only dreamt about it

Hm? Carried the knife about as a game

- I don't admit to anything.

- And then one night, in a dark street,

the opportunity came

Isn't that how it happened?

- Nothing happened

- Your mind snapped shut

- My mind happens to
be particularly clear

I don't knows exactly how
I'm going to make you

understand this, but I am an artist.

I can organise rhythms, shapes

- And actions?

- lam bit of man at action at times, yes.

Oh, but not in the way that you think

You are not dealing with a
smash-and-grab man, you know

- No, I realise you're different

- I am so different that I have decided

not to go on with this conversation

You can't make me talk.

- Sit down!

Did you use your mother as an
excuse to visit Montmartre?

- I want to see my mother

I want to tell her that I'm innocent.

- Tell her what you like, but you're going

to be charged with murder

(crying)

It'll be much easier for
you, if you confess now

(crying)

Your trial, for instance,
would be shorter,

less distressing for you

I don't even believe
they'll send you to prison

You'll be regarded as a psychiatric case,

something unique.

They'll put you in books

Experts will come and visit you

- I know what you're trying to do

You think I'm mad, don't you?

Well allow me to tell
you that my mind happens

to be somewhat better than normal,

and I admit to nothing!

(knocking on door)

-Comein.

- Dr. Gordot says there's
no doubt about it.

That burn isn't more than 20 hours old.

- You can have him, Torrance

- What are you going to do to me?

- Keep you locked up

- But you can't do that.
I'm innocent, I tell you

- Take him away
- I'm innocent.

- I want to telephone
my wife, and my mother

- He can do that.

- Ah, what a case

Think he'll ever confess?

- No.

- What now?

- Well, I better catch up on sleep, Lucas

I missed two nights.

- Two?

Not bad in five months.

I'm glad it's over. Good night, Patron

- Good night, Lucas

{footsteps running)

(Janine groaning)

(soft saxophone music)

- Tonight, you say?

In the Rue Durantin?

- Yes, your district again

- If this is some sort
of a trick, Inspector,

I really don't quite see the point.

- The point is Janine Laurent is 18

She came from Saint-Valery-en-Caux
six weeks ago

On her way home from her
first dance in Paris,

she's stabbed in the back seven times.

(laughing)

- You really can't blame
me for this one as well,

can you, Inspector?

- Oh, take him out of my sight.

- What are you going to do with me?

You can't keep me here,
you know? I'm innocent

And this proves it

Your murderer is still at large

This is his way of telling you

Surely you must see that

I'm innocent, I tell you

- Take him away
- Innocent

- Well, what now? Do we
start all over again”

- No, we go on from where we were

- You still think Moncin
is the Montmartre killer?

- Yes.

- Uh-huh, so whoever
killed that girl tonight

was trying to establish his innocence.

- Yes.

Love, and hate

Which is the stronger, Lucas?

That's a burning question

LaPointe?

- [LaPointe] Patron?

- Madame Maoncin. the mother,
she can visit her son tonight

- [LaPointe] Tonight, Patron

- Yes, bring her now.

Lucas, get the wife over here.

- If you just wait in here please, Madame

- Well where is my son? Where is he?

- I'll see if Inspector
Maigret will see you yet”?

Please sit down.

- Hold on, we may need him, all right?

If you wouldn't mind
waiting in here, Madame

- I thought I was to see my husband

- But of course. If you
will just wait, please

(soft suspenseful music)

- Well, it's half an hour.

They haven't torn each
other to pieces yet

- They haven't even spoken yet.

(soft suspenseful music)

- There's na other possible explanation

One of those two women
must have killed that girl

But which is the stronger?

Their love for Marcel or
their hatred for each other?

(soft suspenseful music)

- Here you are, Patron, first edition

I pulled them off the press myself

- Sixth Montmartre killing.

Right, take them in, Torrance.

One copy each

- [Torrance] I brought you the papers.

(papers rustling)

(Mother laughing)

- LaPointe?
- Patron?

- Bring him in now
- Yes, Patron

- Torrance?
- Yes, Patron?

- Bring in the two women

This is it.

- And if it doesn't work?

- Then we've lost all along the line

We'll never convict him
after last night's murder

- [Lucas] LaPointe.

- Oh, Mongin.

I've got a surprise for you.

- Oh.

- Why have I been kept waiting?

- Dear boy, oh, how ill you look

- I can't stand this any longer. I can't!

- Not a word, Marcel

- Still taking orders from the women,

what's happened to the murdering hero?

- You can't talk to him
like that. He's innocent.

- Innocent? That's a big word here.

If he'd confessed yesterday,

a girl called Janine Laurent
would be alive this morning,

lying warm in a bed, but she's not

- Well that proves he's innocent.

You can't keep him here.
You've got the wrong man

- Wrong man? He killed five women.

Because for years he wanted to murder you

The mother who wouldn't
let him grovr up into a man

And you, the wife,

the second owner of this little slave.

You two women have fought like wolves,

and now, one of you has murdered
to protect your property.

- Murder is your subject. It is not mine

- It is a subject which
appeals and fascinates

the civilised races.

How far did the fascination carry you?

- It wouldn't carry her very far

She wouldn't kill for you, my son.

She wouldn't do anything for you

Say that you love me, Marcel.
I don't care who's listening

Just say that you love me

- I am listening, and I
know a lie when I hear one.

- Marcel, you love me, your mother

Say it, Marcel. Say it, say it.

- Yes, Mother

I love you.

- I love you.

Much more than she could ever understand.

Now then, that's what you
wanted to hear, wasn't it?

I killed that girl last night

Well, now you can take me away.

- When did you kill her?

- I can't come down from
my rooms, I'll be seen

I come down through the butcher shop

- What did you do with the knife?

- I cleaned it and put it back.

- What did you think of
when you saw that girl?

- I thought of Marcel.

- Did you notice what
dress she was wearing?

- It was a cheap, shiny dress,

and she was just coming home from a dance

- What colour was it?

- I didn't see.

- It was a blue dress.

I'm right.

Do you understand, Marcel?

- Yes.

- I'm not insane.

- Only in your own way

- Kiss me, Marcel

{soft romantic music)

- Come on now, let us get through

{reporters murmuring)

- Please.

(shutter snapping)

- At last for some sleep (yawns).

24 hours of it.

- Sleep.

- Well, you got two murderers

- And one girl killed who
should be alive this morning
