- [Boy] I don't wanna go!

- [Canut] Get in there, will you?

- [Boy] Let me gol

- [Canut] I don't care-

- Hey Canut, what you got there?

- Look after him, will ya?

Signed for cabin boy and
that's what he's gonna be

It's only for a month,

you'll be back before you know it

- Yeah, we'll look after him Canut.

Hey, do you want a biscuit”?

Hell nah, now you can't run away, lad

You sit down there and I'll
help you to style your gear

- Hello.

- Mm-hmm.

- Captain aboard yet?

- Came on last night,

hasn't put his head out since

(horn blaring)
(engine chugging)

(upbeat orchestral music playing)

(waves crashing)

(knocking on door)

- [Captain] Who is it?

- Le Clinche.

(captain yells indistinctly)

Radio operator, we just
had a gale warming

- [Captain] Shove it
through the ventilator

- He won't see nothing that way,

he keeps the key in the hole.

{door knocking)
- [Captain] Who is it?

- Your carb, sir

- What are you waiting for?

- A gale warning, it's a force nine

- I don't want your advice
on how to run this ship

- Is that what you
doing, running this ship”?

{door bangs)

- What's the matter with him, is he ill?

- You'd like to wear what he's got.

{soft music)

(waves crashing)

(light upbeat music playing )

- Oh, isn't it nice here, Jules

It's so much better out of season.

We've practically got
the place to ourselves

But now aren't you glad we came here

- Mm-hmm.

- If I hadn't put my foot down

we'd be sweltering in Paris now.

It wasn't so difficult
to get away after all

- No.

- It's nonsense to pretend your can't

be spared for just a few days

{children laughing)

Oh, I could spend the
whole afternoon doing

absolutely nothing, oh, how lovely?

(signs)

What, now where you are going?

- [think I'l just take a
stroll around the Harbour.

- Can't you ever sit still?

It will take two days just to unwind

- Be back in an hour,
see you at the hotel

- Madame Maigret.

- Yes, how did you know?

- I recognised him from a photograph

I saw you at the hotel and I followed

- Is something wrong?

- I'm in terrible, terrible trouble.

- Oh, please sit down

- If you don't help me,

I don't know what I'm going to do.

{suspenseful music)

- Having trouble getting away”?

- Mm-hmm, she still thinks I'm down here

for a quiet weekend with the oysters.

(chuckles)

What is that smell?

- That is the Cap Fagnet

She's full of cod, something
went wrong with it

- Have you seen Inspector Girard”?

- No yet, only had time to tuck my bag

in at Rendez-Vous des Matelots.

That's what most of the
Fagnet's crew put up

- Mm- hmm, (indistinct)

See what you can pick
up with the rendezvous

- Right
- Meet me back at the hotel.

- What about Madame
when she sees me?

(sighs)

- No, you better disguise
yourself as an oyster

(laughing)

(light music)

Amor

- Jules

- Ah, it's good to see you again

12 years, 15 years isn't it?

- Oh, you haven't changed

I wouldn't have called in outside help

on a case like this, but

do sit down, won't you?

{door creaks)

I was a friend of the boy's father

and I wouldn't want it to seem that was-

- I gather this young friend of yours

is the chief suspect, huh?

- His name's Pierre Le Clinche.

- Mm-hmm.

- He shined on as a radio operator

on a fishing trawler the Cap Fagnet.

It's back in the Harbour now.

- Oh, I know, I smelled it.

- Well, the captain was
a man called Fallut.

Briefly, the vessel returned four days ago

after months fishing on the banks

Shortly after it docked the captain's body

was pulled out of the Harbour

- Drowned?

- Strangled, and then
thrown into the water.

- Mm-hmm, Pierre Le
Clinche should kill him?

- Well, first because some
sort of quarrel seems to have

flared up after they'd been at sea a week.

Secondly, Pierre was found hanging arcund

the quayside just before the murder.

Thirdly, his fingerprints have been found

in the captain's cabin.

- What's his explanation?

- What's the trouble, I was about to say

fourthly, because he's disappeared

{seagulls calling)
- Disappeared?

- His father was a fine man,

we went through the war together

but he was captured and he
died in a concentration camp

(signs)

- What sort of a boys' Pierre”?

- Steady, bit of a poet

but a good hardworking boy.

He's engaged to be married

- Her name?

- Marie Leonnec.

- Leonnec, hmm

A Breton named?

- Yes, her father has that big money

order business in Campea

- This quarrel at sea,

what did the crew say about that?

- Did you ever try to get sailors to talk?

We've taken some statements

from those that were sober enough

They hang together like a secret society,

like the mafia.

(overlapping crowd chatter)

- [Louis] Yeah, well
I've got this glass see?

I've got this glass and I'll bite it out.

Yeah, I'll bite it all out you know

Yeah, I'll bit it out

Well, you wanna bet I can't do it?

You wanna bet, well you get me a glass,

I'll get a glass

Hey mate, you got a glass”

Hey, well get a shot glass, will you?

We are not gonna do it without a glass.

What's the matter with you”

Here we go,

all right here watch out

{crowd jeering)

- No, stop it, no stop it

Now watch, everybody watch
all right, here we go

(munching)

{crowd cheering and clapping)

{speaking indistinctly)

- Give me a beer.

- Yeah.

You like the room monsieur, plenty of air?

- Too much, I get debris
straight from the Cap Fagnet

What went wrong with the cargo”

- No idea.

- Hey, Louis?

- Yeah?

- What made the cod go rotten?

- What?

- Were you on the last voyage?

- [Louis] Why

- Wondering hows you stood the stink

(man speaking foreign language)

{Louis speaking in foreign language)

(Maigret chuckles)

- All speak Breton, eh?

- Yes, sir

All good Bretons here

{crowd laughing)

- So you were on it?

- What's you asking me for?

You think am drunk?

I could drink this place dry,

and I still wouldn't say anything

I didn't wanna say, see

But I will tell you one thing.

- Hey, Louis

- Don't you touch me,

there's lucky ships and
there's an unlucky ships, see

And that one had a curse on it,

do you understand, a curse!

- Hey, Louis

- Oh, leave me alone, will ya?

- Don't you worry about Pierre

Pierre is all right.

As for the old man, see.

- Captain, what was wrong with him?

- He went off is rocker that soul,

locked himself up in his cabin

made as sure well nobody's
seen Canut in 50 years

- Hey, Louis, Louis,

they won't believe you can do it

show them, Louis, go on show them.

{Louis laughing)

- Hey, hey

Did you ever see anybody

bite through a five blank piece?

- No.

- Well you are going to now, man.

Come on, get a pact on it.

(men clamauring)

{bright soft music)

- What's this about a curse?

- Oh, they had a run of bad luck

in the last trip, that's all

Even before they got underway,

a deck-hand found a winch cable

and got his legs sawed off,

Six days out, they ran
into a bit of a gale

and lost the cabin boy.

- Quite rough

- That's his father there, Old Canut

Coming back in, around the boats

now the cod's gone off.

They're selling the
whole catch for manure.

- Did you know Pierre Le
Clinche, the radio operator?

- Yeah, he used to sit
at that table there.

Writing his poetry, and great long lefters

to his girl back in Campea

He is well educated, this Pierre

Nice clean living boy to lock at.

- Are you no different”?

- I've read some of his poetry,

make your hair stand on end, and...

Here is something the police missed

when they searched his room.

It was under the tablecloth.

You ask me, that's never a picture

of a girl you're supposed to be mad at

{suspenseful music)

{seagulls calling)

- Poor Marie.

- What do your parents say?
Thank you

- Oh, they want me to stay at home.

Keep out of all the scandal

- But they like Pierre”?

- Well, they like him, but, well, I mean,

they'd prefer it if he were
a shopkeeper or something

- So long as he's steady.

- Oh, hes, he sends
money home to his mother

every trip and he doesn't
smoke or anything,

but well Papa's the mayor back home

It's only a small town you see”

So there's bound to be a lot of talk.

So that's why he's offered me my freedom

to spare me all that

I think it's wonderful of him.

- Here is my husband

- You got back then?

- Yes, eventually

- And made a fiend?

- Mademoiselle Marie Léonnec.

She's come to ask a favour of you

I said to her I'm sure you
would help if you could.

- Well, I hope you explained
that we are on holiday

- Yes I know but if you
could just listen to Marie

She is terribly worried, it's her fiance

He's in trouble with the police

- Oh, Oh well, if you think that I should.

- I knew you would

- Thank you, Monsieur.

- Ah, Mademoiselle you are
worried about Pierre, hmm?

- Howr did you know his name?

- Huh, oh well I heard
some talk in the town.

- Well, he didn't do it Monsieur Maigret,

you've gat to believe me

Pierre couldn't kill anybody

- Where is he?

- I don't know, I haven't seen him.

- But he can't be far away because

she's had a letter from him.

- Yes, It just came this moming

- Mm-hmm.

{speaking in foreign language)

That black smudge, was it there

when you first got it?

- Yes.

- Tar hmm, tar or crescent paint.

- Mm-hmm

- Does that suggest something to you?

- Only that one day before he sailed

we got caught in the rain

We climbed into an old
warehouse to shelter.

- Mm-hmm.

- There was some tar on
a packing case there

It got on my dress.

- Take me to the place,
will you Mademoiselle?

- What will you do if you find him?

- Talk to him.

- You do believe he's innocent, don't you?

- No.

- But, of course he's innocent Jules,

Marie has her truce
already and everything

It's all hand embroidered
of course he didn't do it

- Just show me the place my love

Now remember this is your idea not mine

- Yes, of course

- Eh, look who's here

(chuckling)

Lucas, of all people

- Sergeant Lucas

- Madame, fancy meeting you here

(Lucas chuckles)

Nothing like the call
of the sea, is there?

I mean the, the, these ozone,

oysters, they goes-

- All the days

(light music)

(knocking on door)

- Pierre are you there?

- Marie?

- Pierre, open the door.
- How did you find me?

- Please let me in.

{door creaks)

Oh, Pierre.

- You shouldn't have come here.

- 1 had to.

- Why couldn't you keep out of it

I warned you that, who's that”?

- Pierre I, I brought someone to help you

Well, don't you see if
you keep running av/ay

they'll think you did it.

Pierre, this is inspector Maigret.

All you've got to do
is tell him the truth.

- The night Captain Fallut was attacked,

you were there, yes?

You were seen hiding behind a truck

not 50 metres away.

- Pierre

- Yes, I was there

- What did you see?

- Two men fighting, one
of them fell in the water.

- And the other?

- It was dark and then I started to run.

- Is that all?

- I heard someone else
running, I saw a man

- Who?

- I don't know.

- A sailor?

- No, he, he was wearing town
clothing and white shoes

- White shoes?

- Or yellow

- Or yellow?

Why didn't you go to help the captain?

He was dead.

- Oh.

- He must have been.

- Why were you watching behind a truck”

Is it true that you quarrelled
with captain Fallut?

- No.

- They said you never spoke ta each other

after the first week?

- Yes.

- And you still maintain
that you hadn't quarrelled?

After the murder,

why didn't you go back to
your room at the rendezvous”?

- I wanted to think.

- Have you anything else to tell me?

- Are you taking me to the police station?

- No, you are going there by yourself

- Pierre-
- That's the only way

He's got to make his own statement

- Will, will they keep him there?

- Probably

- But you said you, you
said if he hadn't done it...

He's not well, he doesn't
know what he's saying

Pierre, I was trying to help.

- Doesn't matter.

- You've got to believe me

{suspenseful music)

- This was the captain's room

- Mm-hmm.

- Eight and a half years he launched here.

{door slams)

Ever since my husband passed away

nothing has been touched,
everything in its place

That's how it's always been kept.

- Hmm, only red ink.

- Yes, he always wrote
everything in red ink

- You must've got to know him really well?

- Well?

We were going to be married

- Mm-hmm.

- Nothing was actually said

but we both knew how it would end up.

I was to supply the house and furniture.

And then in three years
he'd have his pension

We've been very comfortable.

At least that's how it
was going to be until-

- He changed towards you?

- Well, you can't live
with a man and not tell.

Last winter he started
to buy thinner underwear,

silk socks he bought and
shaving at six in the evening

instead of when he got up.

- Another woman, hmm?

- It's none of my business if he wanted

to make a fool of himself.

- Did you see her, do
you knows who she was?

- No, but one day I found a
blonde hair on his jacket

I wouldn't demean myself to ask

but she couldn't have been much class.

Then why should he make
such a mystery of it?

He must have been ashamed of her.

(scoffs)

I know the type.
(loud knacking)

Oh, excuse me.

It's a letter, to me from the captain.

Somebody pushed it through and ran away

It is handwritten and red ink.

Oh please, you read it

I can't bear.

It's as though he's
coming back from the dead

- No one is to be blamed for my death

Do not seek to understand my action

- But what does he mean?

He never did it himself.

- Not unless he found a
way to strangle himself

and then throw his own
corpse into the harbour

- What else does he say?

- These are my last wishes,

I leave all I possess
to the widower Bernard,

who has always been good to me

And I charge her to see that I'm

buried in the cemetery at Fecamp.

Signed Octave Fallut.

- Me, to me?

After all I've said about him.

Oh, he saw through that
woman before the end.

Oh, Monsieur, he was a
good man the captain

(crying)
Oh good, a good man

- There you are and if it's cold

you've only got yourself to blame-

- You are uncanny then

What type of sort of work am
I getting after being stuck

on that apprenticeship
programme for over a month

- If this is how you are going to carry on

I don't know why you
bothered to come back?

You could have stayed on-
(door banging)

- [Child] Mamal
- Don't say that, a child

- [Child] Mama, mama, mama, mama

mama, mama

- {chatter drowned by child scream)

- Jealousy, that's all it is

When it's all in her own dirty mind

{spank resounding)
(child crying)

And now she is taking it out on the kid

Now what do you want?

You can't pin anything on me, you know

I was in the rendezvous
with the rest of the crew

when Fallut was killed, ask any of them.

- Aren't you gonna ask me to sit down?

(chuckles)

Hospitality in the north, eh?

You are the engineer and
they can't find you, right?

- Five years I've been stuck
in that stinking fish barrel

- So you got to know Fallut pretty well

Did he act strangely on this voyage?

- Strangely?

- I'm told he took on all
his meals in his cabin

- Yeah.

- Right from the very first day?

- That's right.

He started getting a bit short tempered,

acting a bit strange.

Wouldn't talk to anybody much

- Do you know why?

- How should I?

- Nothing to do with Pierre Le
Clinche, the radio operator?

- Why pick on him?

Look, the skipper was
killed on land, wasn't he?

Why pick on anybody in the boat?

- You tell me, I'm open to suggestion

- Don't want to talk about it.

- Nowy tell this boy Fallut
hadn't an enemy in the world,

he was a decent man
that's what everyone says

So come off it.

- Nowy, why don't you go away?

(chuckles)

- All right, all right

Who is your wife jealous of?

- What the hell is that
got to do with you?

Who did that to it?

- You know her, then?

- Well, what if I do?

It won't make me unique

You've got a lot to learn, chump

- Who is she?

- I've no idea.

Clear out, will you?

And if you want some
advice drop the whole thing

there's a bet you couldn't
do it for everybody

(laughs)

- Madame.

- They've got the police here now-

- What's it got to do with you!

(light music)

- I'l go below deck,
take a look in the cabin.

- Right.

{suspenseful music)

(metal tapping)

- Where's the rest of you?

- Gone home.

- Them that's got homes

- Are in the rendezvous.

- Them that's got money

(chuckling)

- Did the captain talk to any
of you during this voyage?

- Us?

- No, we never saw him

- He took everything inte his cabin,

maps, compass, there a lot

- And he locked the door.

Look like he was sleepwalking
or something crazy

- Howr do you know if you never saw him?

- Well, somebody had fo take
his meals up, didn't they?

Especially after Jean- Marie with

- You were saying, Jean Marie?

- Yeah, it was that-

- That was the cabin boy, poor kid.

(light music)

(papers rustling)

- Ah,

- Have you been in Pierre's cabin yet?

- Yes, there's nothing there,

I just started here

- My only guess is at the moment

that our gallant captain was smuggling.

- What, with two years
to go to his pension?

He'd have to be a lunatic, won't he?

The strong sort of scent, smuggling scent?

- Mm. to France?

Blonde, Fallut's blonde, huh?

- Peroxide blonde, it's
brown at the roots

- Mm-hmm.

{door squeaks)

Lucas!

- [Lucas] Ahl

- Look at this.

- AN was here.

- Is that the blonde”?

- Could be.

- Well, he had the whole voyage

- Must have been that wasn't
carved In five minutes.

- That explains a lot.

- Yes, but it doesn't explain

why Captain Fallut became
to hate her so much.

- Unless she double crossed him.

- Who with?

- I don't know, Pierre?

- Hmm, could be

- Yes, they could have had a fight

but all he'll admit to
was he was on the quay

He could've made up all that
stuff about the yellow shoes

- I don't-

- Hmm?

- Get him.

{light bright music)

(man grunting)

- Let me go, let me go

Why you pushing-

- Why are you pushing, Lucas?

- No idea, but he was carrying this

- Hey, that's my property I want it back.

- Your name?

- Why should I tell you that”?

I don't even know what this is all about.

- Name.

- Buziers, Gaston Buziers

- Gaston, sit down.

Where do you live?

- Yport.

- Yport, what do you do?

- I sell villas.

- How many convictions?

- I don't have to answer
questions like that

I'm not under arrest.

- Two.

- What were you doing snooping
about on the Cap Fagnet?

- Oh, lock, I just went
aboard to have a look around.

There's no rule against-

(orchestral upbeat music)

Oh no, it wasn't my fault-

- Well, well, well look who's here.

What he's been up to now?

- What have you been up to?

- Minding my own business
not poking around

where I don't belong look, I warned you

- Who is this woman?

- Listen, honey, if you wanna find out

something, ask me right”?

And don't refer to me as this woman

because I don't like it.

Give me a beer.

- Well, who is she?

- Adorn Warrow.

-AN

- I will ask you, address?

- Same as his.

- His wife?

- Wife, of that?

(laughs)

- Hmm, what's your occupation?

- I'm in the entertainment business.

- Ooh, were you singing to
the crew of the Cap Fagnet

- You told them that-

- I did not.

- Well, what if I was in the blasted boat?

It's not a crime, is it?
- So what were you doing?

- Not catching fish I can tell you

I was a guest of the captain.

He was crazy about me you know

Rented this cute little
flat for me over Yport

He wanted to marry me, didn't he?

- Well, what about him?

- Him, he was supposed te be my brother

- Oh, you both lived
on the captain's money”?

- I did not, I was working

- Why could a match

And why did Captain Fallut
take you on the tour?

- Oh, I did it as a luck

He said, come on the ship like
a cruise so I went, cruise

(chuckles) I didn't know
I was going to be locked

in that stinking cabin for over a month

You know I had to climb into a cupboard

every time someone knocked at the door

A few days of that, I can tell you

I was ready to shout for help

Yeah well, then he turned a bit funny

and I got scared.

- When was this?

- Oh, about six days out.

There was a storm.

(chuckles)

There was I rattling about that cabin

like a peanut and sick.

Yeah, it was then he turned really nasty

Wouldn't speak for days.

Then he come at me like
a bull and jealous

- Of Pierre?

- Well, who else?

- And how did Pierre find
out that you were there?

- Oh, they all knew
something was going on

Pierre used to come and
talk to me through the door

He's a very sweet boy.

(scoffs)

- Did you give Pierre this?

- Yes, I shoved it under the door to him

- What for?

- Oh to show him what that
crazy captain was like

Yes, he did this in one
of his charming moments

when he was hating my guts.

(laughing)

I bet he wished it was
me not just a picture

Oh, fancy Pierre keeping this.

He was really gummy, you know

Used to write me poems and all that

- So he knew you before
we went on the boat?

- Are you kidding, they all knew me.

I was barmaid at the rendezvous.

Pierre came home with me twice

if that's what you want to know.

- What happened after the ship docked?

- Well, I don't know, I was still locked

in that lousy cabin till Laberge came out

later and got me out

- Laberge?

- That's the engineer

- Anyone see you get up?

- No, there was a lot of fuss about

boats and divers and things. it was easy

- But you waited for her on the quay

When the ship came in, what did you see”

- Crew coming off and then the captain.

I enly went a few steps
and somebody jumped up

- Pierre?

- Oh, it was only a glimpse

I should stay and watch, I ran.

- In those shoes”?

- Yeah, why?

- Pierre says that the
murderer wore yellow shoes

- He said that?

He's trying, there's your
sweet little Pierre for you

He's trying to put the
whole thing on to me

- Did you kill Captain Fallut?

- Why the hell should I
do anything like that?

- Jealousy.

- Are you joking?

- No, you don't have to say it like that

- Just let me get a few words without

that little rat that's all,

just to be here to say it to my face

- It can be arranged

{solemn music)

(lock clicking)

- But you can't treat me like this

I'm not under arrest, I'm here because,

because I demanded to come here.

- I know why you're here, Mr. Buziers.

Ah, Le Clinche

Give him a chair.

You recognise this man”

- What?

- This man, de you recognise him?

(Buziers laughing)

- There you are then.

- You asserted in your statement

that you saw a man with
vellow shoes attack Fallut?

- Did 1?
- Are you taking it back?

- You see he doesn't even dare repeat it

- I saw a man with yellow shoes,

I didn't say it was the murderer

I only heard the splash

- You however, claim that you
saw the man who killed Fallut?

- Only a glimpse, that's all I said

- Was it Le Clinche?

- I'm going to say it was
somebody shorter not so skinny

- Apparently your offering
to clear one another.

- Either there was a third person

or else they are accomplices

- Oh, thanks very much

Me get mixed up with a little
rat like that, thank you

- All right.

- Le Clinche?

- 1 don't even know who he is.

- No?

(sighs)

He is the lover of Adele Noirhomme.

(Pierre sobs)

- That's all for the moment.

Now I'll have my property back

- That stay there until the
investigation is complete

- Why I'll protest about this

You will see my lawyers,

You're gonna hear mere about this

{door slams)

- Come in, please

- Pierre.

- [Girard] Please sit down, mademoiselle

{door slams)

This is the woman who was
concealed in Fallut's cabin

She stated that you were in love with her,

is that true?

- Go on, tell them what
are you ashamed of?

Of course, it's true

- [Girard] Did the captain know?

- I don't know.

- Oh, you bet he did, what do you think?

- Is that why you quarrelled

with the captain, Pierre?

Was there some other reason?

- No, yes, he was jealous.

What else could it have been?

- You tell me.

- I said he was jealous

- Now don't let them scare you Pierre

- [Girard] Please be quiet.

- Well, why make it an issuer of it.

Why deny it, they were
both crazy about me

That doesn't mean he killed him.

- Is it true, Pierre,
do you love this woman”

- No.

- Well, you could have
fooled me, I'd say that

- I don't think we need detain
mademeiselle any longer.

- I go when I'm ready

If there's one thing that burns me up

is someone who comes crawling
and sniffling round you

Then when they're with their posh friends

they treat you like dirt.

- That's enough.

- I've finished.

Send him back to that Leonnec bitch,

she's welcome to him.

- Come on, Adele

- Compared to him even poor
old Fallut had something

To think he had to die by you,

(Pierre yelling)
- You sniffling little-

(Adele screaming)

{Gunshot blares)
{Pierre moaning)

- It's just his leg I think

- Oh, why did you stop me?

Don't you see I'm guilty

I'm guilty as hell

{suspenseful music)

(bright music)

- How old is Pierre, Jules?

- Mm-hmm, 19

- Ah, he'll get over it then.

A nice girl will steady
him up, you'll see

- Hmm, he is doomed

- What's that supposed to mean?

- He's the type who goes,
he gets by on dreams

And somehow to people like Pierre,

they never come true

- Nonsense, my money's on Marie

She's a good cheerful, sensible girl.

Just what he needs.

It will work out all right
on the end, you'll see

- Are you Maigret”?

- Yes, why?

- Good, my name's Zlenic
you may have heard of me

And I've travelled all night to get here

So I'll come straight to the point.

Is Le Clinche innocent
or did he kill that man?

(signs)

- Well, he's not being held.

- Oh, that's no answer.

Anyway, he's in hospital
so he can't run off again

Now, it's my duty to find out exactly

what type of young man

my daughter's got herself mixed up with

- Papa, please.

- Leave this to me.

- Well, is the boy innocent or guilty?

- Of course he's innocent.

And you should be ashamed of yourself

for thinking anything else

After all Marie's done for him.

(orchestral upbeat music)
What he wants now is help

instead of suspicion

You want to stand by your daughter?

You ought to go to the hospital

and say to Pierre that you believe in him,

that you'll stand by him whatever happens

- Guilty he said, guilty.

But not of killing Fallut
not by his own hands

He didn't mean that.

So what did he mean?

- If I spoke with Adele. I could tell you

- The crew will know, all right

- But if one of them did it, why wait

until the captain is ashore to kill him?

It's easy enough to stage
an accident onboard.

- On the other hand, it
could have been something

aboard that caused the murder ashore.

Something that happened on that voyage

that made Fallut wanna commit suicide.

How do we find that out?

- Suppose he kept a diary

- But he kept a log, a ship's log

(machine whirring)

- It would be here, I suspect.

(signs)

Now, when did the ship put to sea?

- 16th, what are you looking for?

- Anything, anything that

upset the routine

What about this, last saw in June when

hoisting gear collapsed, put ashore

- Nowy, that was just before she sailed

- 17th, when she came

18th 1300 hours sighted North

fall and light, wind force to

19th, sailing progress.

(mumbling)

22nd, four, six gale warning
received 1900 hours.

23rd, wind gale force nine, severe storm

Jean-Marie Canut cabin boy lost overboard

{suspenseful music)

23rd, six days out just
before the quarrel started

and the captain went
crazy, according to Adele

- Cabin boy, he'd have brought up

the skippers meals, wouldn't he?

- Hmm, she'd have been knocking

on that door three or four times a day

Captain would have to open it

he'd have to take the tray in
- Would there be enough on it,

or he'd have to ask for more?

- Ahl
{footsteps tapping)

{door creaks)

- Ah, Laberge

- You found it then?

All of it too late, I was
gonna chuck it in the Arbour

- Was it you who found the suicide note

and made sure that I saw it.

You pushed it through the letterbox

when I was talking to widow, why?

- Well, I thought I'd
finish the whole thing

Poor old Fallut, he should never have got

mixed up with Adele, not at his age

Played Mariel with him

- Where's Canut now?

- Usual place, he won't run

{solemn music)

(men clamauring)

{men banging on the counter)

- [Men] We want drinks!

We want drinks!

We want drinks!

- Swine, scum!

Sailors, they call themselves

Freaks out of a circus.

They couldn't even save one boy-

- Listen no, no, do not go there man

You better go home, man.

- Come on, you've had enough.
{men clamouring)

Here, come on sit down
I'l get you a drink

- See Canut, Joe Marie Canut,

the cabin boy lost overboard
from the Cap Fagnet

He was your son?

- He never wanted to go

He begged me not to send him

he was always afraid of the sea.

What else can I do?

Six kids, all younger than him.

I can't go to sea anymore.

It's my lungs.

- When you first heard the news

that night on the quay

and you saw the captain
coming down the gangplank,

how much had you had to drink?

- Only that one boy we ever had

If I could have worked, it
would've been different.

My dockers are working now

and I've got five or six months to go

Talking about them odds

Do you think it makes any odds to me?

No.

{solemn music)

- Told you what happened

What more do you want to know?

Your version Pierre, of
how a cabin boy died

- First day, he was just whining

and sniffling all the time.

Then he started to get cheeky

Nice but a skirt, he said to me

I tell you what she could do with,

that kind of talk.

Vicious, dirty minded kid he was

On the night of the
23rd, there was a storm

I had to go up on deck
with a message for Fallut

when I overheard the boy taunting him,

threatening to tell about something

Of course it was about Adele

only I didn't know that then.

Fallut then swiped him,
missed and hit a stair

That made him furious.

He hit out again and sent the boy flying

Kid's head struck the rail.

Didn't seem a very hard blow

Only his head was bashed in

- What did he captain do then?

- He made the sign of the cross

on the boy's forehead with his thumb

and threw him into the sea.

Then he looked up and saw me

He promised to give himself up

as soon as the ship got back to port

He had to give us
authority, he said because

no one else could sail the ship.

So I said, I'd keep quiet

Then he told me about Adele.

- I see.

- He didn't know I knew her.

- How long had you known him?

- Not long, oh, I wasn't fooling myself.

I knew what she was but all
the women I'd ever known

my father died you see, I
was brought up by women

They treat you like a
child, make plans for you

I went to sea to get away from them.

She wasn't like that.

- Hmm, I can imagine

- Once I knew she was there
I got to hate him so much

I couldn't even speak to him.

I felt I could have killed him.

It would have been better if I had.

- Instead of telling Canut
what happened to his son

and letting him do it?

- Guiltier than he is
‘cause I knew what he'd do.

I knews he'd kill the old man.

He was wild with misery about his son

It wasn't his fault, I made him do it.

I'm the real murderer.
- [Jules] Right

{sobbing)

- What will they do to him?

- Nothing now

I got this from Inspector Girard

just before I came in.

- Octave Fallut died of drowned.

An accident?

You believe that?

- No, but it's not a bad
way to close the case

{solemn music)

{light bright music)

- My husband tells me you write poetry

- Oh, it was very well but not for a

man with responsibilities,
there's no money in it

- Pierre is going to take
a course in accountancy

- Yes, he is joining the business

And then no more of this sailing nonsense

If you keep your nose to the grindstone

you should do as well as any

- You might even be mayor

- Oh Pierre, just like Papa,

wouldn't that be wonderful?

- Yes, better get measured
for my chains tomorrow

(ship bellowing)

- Pierre?
