- [Madame Wilton] My dear, my dear

- [Jerry] Tactful

- [Madame Wilten] Are you coming in?

Or need I ask?

- [Jerry] You needn't ask

Okay.

- I want to drop my wrap

You can come in for one drink.

No longer.

- I'm a slow drinker.

- No.

(Jerry hums)

Not tonight.

- No?

- No.

(Jerry sighs)

Wait!

Idiot, the curtains

You do like to take a risk, don't you?

- I take what I like.

- Darling, you're very naughty

-Am I?

- You know what will happen if.

- If what?

- If this got out

- Who the hell's to know?

- My maid, for ane.

- Pay her more

Oh.

Hello?

- [Fumel] Madame Maigret”?

- Yes, who is that?

- [Fumel] Fumel

(Fumel coughs)

- Inspector Fumel?

- My humble apologies, madame.

I'd like to speak to the Chief Inspector

- So would I.

He hasn't come back yet.

- Oh, again, my apologies,
madame, for disturbing you

- Oh, don't mention it.

What, half past five?

- Neurotic.

- Well, there is a pattern.

At least we're agreed on that.

Well, are we?

- I don't see it.

- Tell me what do you see?

- Well, you get one hold up all right,

two by the same gang

Then the boys catch on, they
carbon copy it, you get a wave

We've had it before.

- Not like this.

Not four attacks spread
out neatly in a row

Saint-Cloud in March, Rue
Cotte 10 days after that.

Rue Poissoniere 10 days later.

-12.

- And today La Rue Perrot.

- Yesterday.

- Rhythm, mode of
attack, choice of victim.

Always a single cashier.

Time of attack, same planning,
same thinking, pattern

- You've got pattern
on the brain, Maigret

- Well, it's all we've got to go on.

Oh yes, and a 50 franc note
from the Saint-Cloud raid

that might have been passed over a bar

by any one of three million Parisians

What a haul after five weeks' work.

Where's Lapointe?

Why didn't him come back with you?

- 1 left him in the Rue Mal-de-Lattre.

I'm not his keeper

- All right, don't get your feathers up

It's my head they're after.

The press and the boys upstairs

- Well, after 36 hours on
my feet, they can have mine

Feathers and all.

- Pattern.

{Lucas laughs)

- Pattern, I give in.

One hand behind the lot.

Whose?

Come on, take your choice

We've done this before, let's do it again

Marchien?

- He's passed it.

- Max Gavelon?

- Could be
- No, no, he's dead

- So you said

- So Interpol said.

- Interpol said”?

Well, why are we wasting time with him?

- What about Joseph Bellini?

He just done a 10 years
stretch in Saint-Martin-de-Re.

- Yes, and came out last December

Could be.

- If we could find him.

- Eckermann?
- No, he's in Mexico

At least that's the word.

- I'd like to know who passed the word.

- La Salle?

Dorme.

- Shall I send out for
some more coffee, patron?

- No. I think we'd all do
better to get some sleep

While we're still paid to sleep

- It's morning, another day

- Another holdup.

- Ah, Junior

Where'd you get lost?

I thought I'd have
another go at that barman

in the Cafe Mars.

The one who brought in
that stolen 50 franc note.

- Did he remember something?

- Yeah, he's pretty sure now

that he got it from an old
soldier who sells newspapers

- Why is he sure?

- Seems the old fellow
always cadges his drinks

This one he bought.

- With this 50 franc note?
- Yeah.

That sort of stuck in his mind.

- Some lead.

Well, better collect him though.

- There goes our sleep.

Did he have a name this old soldier?

- Nope

He's over 70 and smells.

- That should be quite simple

Come on, Torrance.

I'll do the same for you someday.

- Thanks a lot.

- It was just an idea

- No, no, you did really well, Lapointe

{telephone rings)

Maigret.

- [Fumel] Jules? (Fumel coughs)

- Who's that calling, Aristide Fumel?

Is that you?

(Fumel coughs)

- Excuse me.

Yes, it's Fumel

(Maigret laughs)

- I could tell by the cough

Hold on a minute.

All right, Lapointe, go get some sleep.

Who knows, you might have earned it.

What the devil do you want
at 5:30 in the morning?

- [Fumel] I found a body.

- Congratulations.

Put it on ice and inform Judge Goudart

- It will interest you

- [Maigret] You're wrong

Frankly, I'm only interested in bed

- The body has no face.

- What?

- [Fumel] The face has been destroyed.

- I'l be along right away

Where are you now?

{soft music)

(Fumel coughs)

- Jules.

- Cough is bad Aristide

- Asthma, early morning.

An hour ago in the Bois de Boulogne

Two police cyclists found him.

- Hmm, is that what killed him?

- Another injury on the back of the head

- Blood an the ground?

- None.

- He wasn't killed in the Bois.

Tyre marks?
- Too many

His pockets were empty and
the maker's marks taken off.

- Oh, somebody didn't want him recognised

- A psychopath would you say?

- Possibly, but a psychopath
is also an amateur.

- Why?

- Well, he destroys the face,

but he forgets about fingerprints.

Good hands.

- That tattoo mark
- Sea horse.

I've seen that before somewhere.

- You know him?

- Let's try to think

Through cotton wool.

Maybe records will help you trace it

I'd help you myself Aristide,
but I can't release a man.

Not even myself because of these holdups

Ring me if you find anything.

- Where will you be?

- Frankly, in bed for the
next six hours, I hope

{soft music)

{soft music)

- Jules?

Jules?

You asked me to wake you

It's 12 o'clock.

- 12 o'clock?

Sea horse
- Hm?

- Sea horse.

I've got it.

Cuendet.

Honore Cuendet.

God, I've had him in my
office a dozen times.

- Who is he?

- Well, he's a man we
found dead in the Bois.

He's a thief.

Very clever one

Do you know he could go into a bedroom

and take a key from under
a sleeping man's pillow?

He never hurt anyone in his life.

Why should anyone want
to do this to Cuendet?

{telephone rings)

Oh, we're in business

Hello. Maigret.

- Patron?

Have a good sleep?

We got the paper seller.

- All right, get to work on him.

I'll be in.

- Oh no Jules, oh

- Why, why should anyone
want to do that Cuendet?

- Now listen, I want some sleep

and for the last half
hour you've be hedging

A 50 franc note brand new.

You must remember who gave it to you,

- I'am an honest man.

- That's right, that's why
you're going to tell us

- Was it any of these?

- Do I look at the faces?

I look at the money

- Nevermind, this is your big chance

Now come on, you're gonna look at this

Look, was it him?

Or him, or him?

- Could be.
- Which one, this?

- If you say

- Was it him?

- I look at the money.

I'am an honest man.

A soldier of France.
- Here we go again

I fought at Verdun
- Yes.

- I fought beside Petain

I've got scars, here
- Yes, so I

And here
- All right, it's enough

All right
- This.

- A boss bayonet did to me.

This at Grenay

- All right, all right.
- All right, all right

Ah Patron.

(Soldier speaks in foreign language)

- Soldier of France.

- Put back your shirt.

You been through these”?
- Yeah.

Inspector Fumel's in your office

- Ah good

All right, sit down

Now my good soldier of France

How often does a customer pay
you with a 50 franc note, huh?

You'd have to get change, huh.

That would take time.

So that you'd get a good look at him.

Take him through them again. and again

- I'am an honest man.

- And you have scars to prove it.

Yes.

- All right now, just take your time.

Do you want a cigarette”

- Sit down Aristide.

- I found the sea horse.

- That's him.

- Cuendet.

- That's him.

Well done, Aristide

- And here's the laboratory report

- Ah, good.

- There are splinters of
marble embedded in the scalp

- Marble?

Small ornament, marble statue perhaps.

- On the sleeves, blood,
grains of rice powder

and traces of lubricating oil.

- From the car, do you think?

- Yes.

On the trousers white hairs from a cat.

- Hmm, you know, I
remember this man's method.

Where he used to work.

It's vital that we find out
where he was last living

He had an old mother somewhere
in the Rue Moliere I think

She might be able to
help us. (door opening)

Ah, Judge Goudart.

- Hello, Maigret.

I hear you found the witness at last.

- Yes, a paper seller
- Where Is he?

Does he know anything?

- [ doubt it.

- Then what use is he to you”

- Well, monsieur, if the
gang have started to unload

that Saint-Cloud money, this
is the way it would turn up

In bars and the streets.

- Well, I'd better see him

(door slamming)

- Monsieur, with your permission,

I don't want him to feel that
we're all that interested.

If he is part of the gang

I think we might do better to let him go

- The first suggestion
of a lead of any sort

that you've managed to find in five weeks

and you want to let him go

- With a tail on him, of course

It might lead somewhere. (Judge sighs)

At the moment we're just
floundering in the dark

- I don't know Maigret

- No wait.

- All right, I'll leave that to you

- Thank you, mensieur

Have you seen this?

- What is it?

- It's the report on the man
we found dead in the Bois.

He'd been identified, a
known thief, Honore Cuendet

- Ch yes, this is Fumel's case

I've had a copy.

One thug obliterating another

We should be very grateful

- This man was no thug, monsieur

- It seems a routine underworld killing

- I don't agree

For one thing, Cuendet
always worked alone

And for another thing, no
professional would kill this way

Something very odd about this case

I'd like to follow it up

- Not on any account, Maigret.

How long have you been with
the police service, inspector?

- 40 years, monsieur.

- Then I would imagine he's quite capable

of dealing with the case on his own

- I'l go and see the mother

- Monsieur, what chance
as he got single-handed”?

We've taken all his men.

- Be reasonable, Maigret

A dead thug”?

Have you read the press on these holdups”?

They're already saying
the police can do nothing

to protect public money

Two million stolen in five weeks.

Armed men roaming the streets

No, you cannot be released from
your present investigation

Leave it to Fumel.

- One thug obliterating another.

- I agree, Cuendet was no thug

- Never lie about his work.

About being a thief.

In his own way he was
honest, proud of his skill

Look at this.

Hmm
- Hmm.

- Good face.

With different luck he
could have been something

- Very good face

- Yes, like his mother's.

A real peasant

Justine, they call her.

She must be old by now

I hate to think of Fumel
having to tell her

- Inspector Maigret would like to know

where your son was living.

Did he ever write to you?

- I can't read.

- Did he ever send you anything”?

Money, presents?

- Yesterday, he sent me flowers.

It was my birthday

- Who brought them?

Madame, the man who
killed your son was cruel

We must find him and
punish him with your help

Where was your son living?

- A bay came from a hotel

Hotel Saint Pierre.

- Thank you, Justine

{soft music)

{soft music)

(knocks)

One pin, one chocolate wrapping

There was chocolate in the stomach.

- Yeah, his supper

He never ate a big meal
before going on a job

- But what job”

- Before every job, Cuendet
would take a room somewhere

with a view, and then he'd watch

for weeks if necessary,
sometimes for months,

till he was ready and he'd go in

Always bedrooms

That's where the jewels are

Made no difference to him

if there was someone asleep in the bed.

He trod like a-

Fumel, what was that in
the lab report about a cat?

- White cat hairs on the trousers.

Cats.

They bring on my asthma

- Be brave Aristide.

You have asthma, I have Judge Goudart

I'll be in my office.

- Jerry, for God's sake hurry up.

Do you know what time it is?

You'll miss the train.

- [Jerry] You're a blasted lot of help

Get rid of this damn cat
before I ring its neck

{horn honks)

- That'll be Serge with the car

Yes?

- Madame Wilton?
- Yes.

- Inspector Fumel, 14th district

- What is it, the car?

I told my chauffeur not to park it

- Not your car, madame

- You'd better come in, inspector

- Thank you, madame

An unfortunate occurrence.

We're investigating a death

A man in the hotel opposite

It appears his room is opposite
the window of your bedroom

- Yes.

- We believe his assailant
visited him last night

It's possible you may have seen something

- How should I know what
goes on in that place?

- No, no, of course

If I could have a look from your window

- I told you I saw nothing

- What's up?

- This is Mr. Gerald Wilton.

- Your husband?

- My stepson, Jerry

We're being visited by the police.

It seems that a man was killed
in that squalid little hotel

across the street last night.

And the inspector thinks that
I might've witnessed the deed

from my bedroom window

I told him [ saw nothing

- Perhaps the servant?

- My maid is away

She left this moming to visit
her mother in the country

- Oh, that's unfortunate

And the address of your maid?

- I don't know it.

If you'll excuse me, inspector.

We have a train to catch.

We're going to my country house

- Oh, and where is that?

- [Madame Wilton] Saint Germain

- Oh, you'll take the cat?

- Abdul goes everywhere with me.

- Forgive me, I can't resist

He travels well in the basket?

- Yes.

Careful he'll cover you with his hairs

- Oh yes

- It's a confounded nuisance.

- Do you know, if you want to know

what went on across that
room opposite inspector,

you should ask Abdul.

My window is his favourite place

- Oh, it won't be necessary

- Oh, would you like to brush your coat?

- No. no, what are a few hairs?

My apologies madame for troubling you

- [Jerry] Monsieur.

- You fool.

He could have seen into the room.

- He didn't, don't panic

It's all cleaned up anyway.

- I feel sick.

I feel sick.

The car, what have you done with the car?

-lgotridofit

It's all right

- hope itis

Oh Ged, I hope it is

- Inspect Fumel, your heroism is rewarded

- The same cat?

- The same cat.

- You ignored my request, Maigret.

- No, monsieur.

I left it to Fumel.

He's found you a murderer

- Fumel's found me a few cat hairs.

On the strength of which
you're asking for a warrant

to search Madame Wilton's apartment.

- If I am right, monsieur,

we shall find bloodstains in her bedroom,

on the floor and in the
car, in Wilton's car

where I think the body was carried.

- You know, of course, who his father is?

- Yes, monsieur

Wilton the English industrialist
ships, newspapers, oil

Three wives, all divorced

And I'm pretty certain that his third wife

and his son killed Cuendet.

- The motive being?

- Cuendet specialises in bedroom theft

He may have seen something going on

- A woman of 50 and her own stepson?

- Quite.

Think what Papa would have said

If I am right, monsieur,

the son could not afford

to let Cuendet live with that secret.

He couldn't even chance
the body being recognised

so he smashed in his face.

- You realise that even if you are right

Wilton could never be convicted.

He plead self-defense, panic
- I know.

- And if you're wrong, the
Wiltons will crucify you

- I'l risk that.

- All for a dead thief.

- He was a man and he was murdered.

- I cannot give you a warrant

on the evidence you've supplied.

- It leaves us the car.

Be in some breakers yard by now

We'll have to work quickly.

We shall need more men, monsieur.

- No, not ancther man

Not even yourself

- I'll find the car.

- Well it is your case.
- What chance has he got

single-handed man?

- The Cuendet affair is
secondary at the moment

- You mean what's a dead
thief to two million francs

- Patron.
- I won't-

- Another holdup.

- Another, where?

- Rue La Fayette

- Did they get away?

- Yes, but this time they left
a clue, one of the gang shot

- Dead?

- Not yet, but we'd better hurry

- Nows perhaps you're convinced Maigret

- Pardon, monsieur

- I'm sorry Fumel,

but you can see for yourself
what the situation is.

- Thank you, nurse.

{door opens)

- How bad is he?

- Bullets in the base of the spine

- [Maigret] Can I talk to him?

- Makes no difference.

- Can you hear me?

Look at me.

Listen, you were one of the
men in the holdup today

There were four men.

You were one of them.

Who were the others?

Who is your leader”?

What's your name?

You're badly hurt

We must tell your wife.

- [Doctor] He's too far gone

- Have you got a wife and children?

They'll be worried about you

Your wife will want to
see you, to help you

{man sighing)

- Jean. (man sighing)

- Well, there goes our clue.

- Jean he said.

(dramatic music)

- Fragments of copper wire,

bits of plastic insulation four colours,

traces of solder on the shoes.

- Traces of solder, what would he be?

- Radio mechanic.
- Or an electrician?

- Must be.

He'd be handicapped for fine work

- Why?

- Cataract operation on his left eye

- Ah, does it say when?

- Oh, two years ago

- That might help

- Central information?

Eye hospitals.

I bet you they'll be able to find it.

Hello Jacques? Yes, Lucas

Fine, how are you?

Listen, we're trying to
trace a radio mechanic

or an electrician who
had a cataract operation

on his left eye about two years ago

Oh, we don't know his name

His wife's name was Jean.

It's her we're after.

You think they should have it?

Right, I'l wait.

Records should have it, he says

She's not gonna be difficult to find

- My children, my baby.

What'll happen

Oh my Ged. (Jean weeps)

- Madame Raison, your
husband was one of the men

in the holdup today.

The policeman shot him while
he was attacking the cashier

- Joseph couldn't have done that

If you knew him, he was good

- You knew nothing about this?

- Nothing, nothing

- What time did he leave
the shop this morning?

- At 10, it must have been 10

He told me he had to see a customer.

- He often do this?

- No, not often, but now and then

He told me they were special repair jobs

He never told me where he was going

Then he'd leave me in charge of the shop

- Did you make a good living?

- Sometimes we didn't
even have enough to eat

You see it started when he
had trouble with his eyes

and he couldn't do the fine
work and we began to owe money

and the wholesalers wanted
to make us bankrupt

But then suddenly

- [Maigret] Business
started to get better, en”?

How long ago was this?

- Well, it was about a month ago

Yes, March.

It was my birthday

He bought me this

he told me he found some good customers

and that things were going to
be different for all of us.

Different. (Jean weeps)

- March, Saint-Cloud raid

- Brenat and Company

If he paid for it with 100 franc notes

they might have a record of them

- Yeah.

Did your husband have any special visitors

just before this time?

Did any customers come into
the shop to talk to him?

Perhaps, just after the shop had closed?

Do you have any special friends?

- He's only got one friend

Rene, Rene Lussac

- Where does he live?

- 17 Rue Belmont.

- What does he do?

- He makes violins.

Made one for Joseph

Joseph was very fond of music.

(Jean weeps)

- Madame, did Lussac
ever visit your house?

- Yes.

But lately they used to go out to a cafe

to play a billiards

- What was the name of the cafe?

- I don't know.

- Shall I pick him up”?

- No, no, he might have
nothing to do with it

Follow him, find out about this cafe.

- It could be where the gang meet

- Yeah, don't take any chances

All right

We'll take you back to your children now

- He was good

What he did, it was for us

(lively music)

- Is that right”?

- Give or take a minute.

(engine roars)

- Hey, you've got someone
to play with you now

- Give us a drink, Rene

What's the matter?

Don't you know your own name”?

- Okay

Where's your friend tonight?

He'd have to be dead to miss his game.

(lively music)

- They've got on to Jean

- She doesn't know anything.

{Lucas whistling)

- Cognac.
- Cognac, monsieur.

- Silly without the sun, eh?

- Qui, monsieur, yes

- I'm getting out.

- Don't get your nappy wet

- Quiet tonight

- Usual.

- Oh come on, give us a drink.

- Ah, shut up

- No, ng, no, give the lady a drink

Here, give me another one.

I'll buy you a drink, auntie

- (woman chuckles) Auntie yourself.

You're a gent.

- And you're a lady

- You can't run out now.

Copper's got your share.

- I'm getting my share tonight

- You'll be lucky

- It's eight o'clock,
he should be there now.

- Look you fool

- Where's the phone?

- Over there, monsieur.

{man speaks in foreign language)

Uh-huh, I asked first.

Right, thanks.

(Lucas whistles)

- Come on, play

- Hello, Mimi.

Yes. yes, if's me

I, I can't be long ‘cause there's someone

waiting to use the phone

No, no, I just thought
I'd call to tell you,

I gotta see a couple of clients

Well, I'm at Porte de Versailles

in a cafe called, hold on

What's the name of this place?

- Cafe Des Amis
- Thanks.

Cafe Des Amis.

- Torrance, in here quick.
- Yes, patron

- Hold on a minute.

It's Lucas, he's found something

One exchange to monitor all calls

in the Cafe Des Amis, Porte De Versailles

- Right
- How many are there?

- How many drinks?

Well, I've had a couple

No. no, no, no, no more than a couple

- You know who this man is?
- No.

- I can't be long ‘cause

to use the phone, sweetheart,

but well, if you're sure
you knows howe to get here,

I'll wait for you, sweetheart

- Message received, sweetheart

You stay there

Do nothing

We'll monitor all calls your end

{Lucas laughs)

- You're some girl, that's sure

All right, little one,

I'll wait, but don't be long

I'm looking forward to seeing you

Goodbye

Oh, women, eh?

Sorry, all yours

Mind if I take a cue?

- All right, help yourself.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yeah, Cassis

- Cassis and a cognac.

- [Bartender] Cognac and Cassis

- Mamma, did you get my postcard?

- Who is that?
- Rene.

- What do you want”?

- [Lussac] What about the chocolate?

The kids are asking.

- Where's the call to?

- It's somewhere outside Paris.

They're tracing it now

- Chocolate?

- I don't know, I'll ask Papa

It's Lussac.

He's heard one of the kids is sick.

He's keeping the chocolate for later.

He's keeping it in a safe place

- [Lussac] I must have my share tonight.

- You'll get your share later.

- They've cut.

Did you get the number?

- Cull de Brave three, two, nine, one.

I'l find out where that is.

Get me the call exchange quickly

(Lucas whistles)

- Your shot.

- Here.

- Oh thanks.

- Cassis.

- Right.

- Chante.

Our best cognac, monsieur

- Nevermind about him.

We are making news ourselves

- Corbeil?

Corbeil?

Maigret, Inspector Maurice

Yes, I want all your men for a raid.

Yes, all your men.

{soft music)

{soft music)

- All right, Rosalie, calm down

Come on, quickly here

- Take your hands off.

Stinking cops.

Got my man for life

Stinking, murdering cops

You won't get me

Take your hands off

You can't hold me.

I'll get the lot of you

You stinking, rotten cops

You jolly speaking my name.

When my man get out, he'll
get the stinking lot of you

- Well?

Put on the raincoat, Bellini.

Well?

- Perhaps it wasn't a light raincoat

- Thank you, mensieur

- It was all so quick.
- All right, I know.

- This way, please, monsieur.

- Bring Monsieur Blanchard, the cashier.

- That makes two witnesses
who haven't seen me

- Take it off again

- What is the charge, chief?

You cannot keep me here without a charge

Not after 24 hours.

You make the law not me.

- Get up before I boot you up

- Oh, so sorry.

- Monsieur.

- Now, Monsieur Blanchard.

Was this one of the men who
attacked and robbed you?

Put on the glasses, Bellini

- It should really be a parade

You're taking a chance

It won't stick.

- Now?

- I think, it might be

- Well, is he or isn't he?

- Perhaps without the glasses.

- Oh certainly

- Sorry, monsieur.

- All right, thank you, monsieur.

Will you wait outside?

- That makes three witnesses

who haven't seen me Chief Inspector.

Can I go now?

- Okay, Richard, bring him in.

- 20 hours to go

Well, well, well, what have
you got here, Inspector?

- What did you get besides a thick ear?

- Nothing from them.

Something on record on Stieb

We just found out

he was in Saint-Martin-de-Re
for armed robbery

Works as a garage mechanic
in Porte de Versailles.

Same place Lussac bought his moped

- [Maigret] Anything on Lussac?

- No nothing.
- What's he doing”?

- Musical instruments.

Makes and repairs them.

- Stieb here recruited
you when you fell behind

with the payments on your moped, right?

And then you pulled in
your friend, Raison,

because he was as hard up as you were,

Yes?

You're a fool, Lussac

You were an honest man.

So was Raison, but now he's dead.

Yeah, you were the two amateurs

These men dragged you in, huh?

- I don't know about Raison.

I have an alibi.

- His wife.

- She'll tell you.

I was in the shop all day
in the back room working

- What is the charge, anyway

- Shut your mouth.

Bellini, Stieb,

Lussac, and Raison

Your witnesses said there were four men.

But you're not the whole gang, are you?

There's a fifth man.

The one who sat in the car.

One who hides the money for
you till the heat's off

- What money?

- Yeah, what money?

- we'll find it.

We've got time

All the time in the world.

- Correction.

You have just under 20 hours

{soft music)

- I really don't know

Maybe, maybe if he's wearing a hat

- All right.

What about that?

- Get your head up

Come on, get your head up

- I was trying to held a bag you see

and one of them hit me.

It was all so quick.

- Money, money, money

I don't know about any money.

Ask Rosalie, she has money

- Stinking cops.

{soft music)

- Bringing you back.

You might be a criminal yourself

the way they treat you

I've got a husband to look after

I've got a house fo
clean and meals to cook.

- Madame Lupine, this way please

- This is the last time too.

(shaver buzzes)

- You're in luck.

It's your turn with Rosalie.

- We're gonna have to
let them go in four hours

if they don't break, and they won't.

- We can hold Stieb.

- What for?

- He tried to tear my
ear off, I resent it.

- Our witnesses are no good

They might as well have been in Australia

Until we find the fifth man and the money,

we've got no case

- The money might be in Marseilles by now

- Bellini wouldn't chance that.

It would be somewhere near.

Somewhere in Paris.

Lussac is our only hope

He's the amateur.

If anyone's gonna break, it'll be him.

Bring him in again

Let's have another talk at him.

- Right.

And why don't you try
and grab a bit of sleep

I can talk to Lussac.

- All right, ring me.

- will.

It's only a couple of hours

{telephone rings)

Hello, Chief Inspector Maigret's office

Inspector Fumel”?

No, hold on.

- What is it, Fumel?

I think I found the Wilton car.

(engine hums)

Jules.

- Ah, Fumel

Is this Wilton's car?

-Yes, I'msureitis

A man came yesterday morning and sold it.

The engine number's being ground off.

The chassis number too.

- Ne number plate

- No, not one in front either

Take a look at the front
seat by the driver

- That's blood all right.

- [Fumel] Yeah, and hairs.

- White cat.

Not much, but it's enough to
put Wilton where we want him

- Well done, Aristide.

- Macagne, Georges Macagne

That was his name.

- What's yours?

- Loubieres.

- You own this place?

- Yes I do.

And I run an honest business.

If a man comes that wants rid of a car.

- A new car?

Where's the registration book?

- He said he'd send it.

- What did he look like?

- Like, oh, I don't know

Just sort of ordinary looking

- That's a great help

Where are the number plates”

- Gone for scrap.

I'm breaking it up for spares

- A new car?

Pity, we shall need those number
plates for identification

Do you know the number?

- One three five four JS75.

- Uh-huh.

I expect he's chucked them
in that heap down there

- You can't do that.

- Do what?

- Search my place, it's illegal

Look, that's my car.

Look, you can't touch
anything without a warrant.

Look, I paid for it, I've got a receipt.

Well, you can't do anything
without a court order.

- All right, all right

If you want it that way,
I'll get a court order

Where's the phone?

- In the office.

- Macagne, you said the name was?

- I'l ask you again
what did he look like?

Hello, Palais Justice?

Judge Goudart's office.

- What are you doing?

Get out.

Get out, you imbecile

- You called the police

- Wait here.

Look, now get out

Come back in an hour with that intact.

Go on, get out.

- Well, find him, it's urgent.

- I want my money
- Get out!

- Well, if it isn't the
brave soldier of France?

The hero of Verdun.

- He's just an old mad man

He does odd jobs

- Yeah, I bet he does

So you thought it was safe

to come back here for your chocolate, eh?

- I am a soldier of France.

- I told you he's mad.

He does odd jobs

- Like lock out man for Bellini, huh?

I expect he gets paid

in beautiful 50 franc bars of chocolate.

I wouldn't be surprised
if you were the candy man

The missing number five,

- What are you talking about?

You're mad.

- Fumel, forget about the number plates,

I think this is where we
shall find the chocolate.

Come on, where is it, eh?

Where do you hide it?

The money from the Rue Cotte raid.

Huh?

The Rue Poissoniere, the Rue La Fayette.

- Find it.

- All right, we will.

Now, Aristide, where would
be a good place to look?

Somewhere that you might
look at 100 times a day

and pass it over.

- Jules.

- Such as an old tool bag

Phew, chocolate

(dramatic music)

{soft music)

- I still don't see why
Fumel should get credit

for both cases.

- Oh, I don't know

I've got what I wanted

The man who killed Cuendet.

- Still.

- Well, Fumel's retiring in a year.

This will mean promotion
and a better pension

After 40 years, he deserves it.

Remember my love, we'll
all be old some day
