{eerie music)

(foreboding music)

(doorknob rattling)

- Whois it?

{door clicks)

- Lise?

- Yes?

- I want to ask you some questions.

No, Lise. I want to talk to you.

You remember when you were a little girl?

No, ne, no, no, no

Now, you remember when
you were a little girl

and lived in Versailles?

Headache” Do you get a lot of them”?

Lise, do you remember your mother at all?

(Lise whimpering)

It's all right, Lise

No, Lisa,

It's all right
{Lisa gasping)

Lise, it's all right I tell you!

Lise, it's all.
{Lise sobbing)

(dramatic foreboding music)

{match rasps)

{lilting accordion music)

{cheery accordion music)

{boys speaking French)

- Who did that?

Now watch the ball.

One, two, three.

- [Boys] Whoa

{ball slaps)

(ball splashes)

All right, catch

(ball tapping)
{footsteps scuffing)

{boys speaking French)

(cheerful accordion music)

- This is the special

- Ah.

- The real old Calvados.

(Maigret sighs)

- Mmm, yes

Oh, it was worth coming
to En Fleur just for that

- Are you sure you have
all the evidence you need”?

- Yes, enough to get him six years

I am indebted to you, Jaminet.

Very lucky that you were able to identify

this fellow so quickly

- Oh, we don't get so many summer visitors

that we can't remember their
faces the rest of the year

(Maigret chuckles)

Well, I must go

You'll be off back to Paris then?

- Oh yes, on the morning
train without fail.

- [Jaminet] Another case?

- No, my wife's birthday

{Jaminet laughing)

Au revoir, thanks again
for your cooperation

(phone whirs)

Hello, Mademoiselle

It's me again

Oh, what progress are we
making with my call to Paris?

- [Operator] I am afraid there's
a little delay, Monsieur

- Well could you use that charming voice

of yours to expedite

the matter?
{operator laughing)

- [Operator] Will you hold
on, Monsieur? (chuckling)

- All right, I'll hold on

{cheery accordion music)

{Lucas chattering)

- Au revoir.

- Monsieur! Monsieur!

- Madame, you wanted me?

- You're the detective,
aren't you, from Paris”

- One of them, ves.

- Ore is enough

I've been trying to catch
up with you this last hour

- If it's about the smuggling case,

we have all the evidence we need.

- I'm not talking about that swindler

Sit down.

- Uh-
{hand tapping)

- Sit down.

I can't keep looking up at you.

(Lucas chuckles)

And put this down

Caught two days ago, the pair of you.

(Lucas chuckles)

Now, I want you to do something

about the corpse in the judge's house

- The what?

- That's given you a shake

- Which judge?

- "Forlacroix," he calls himself

He's got a dead man there, upstairs

He's been dead since Monday night.

- How do you know?

- We've seen It.

- [Lucas] Who is, "We?"

- My husband and I.

Tuesday morning, Justin was up a ladder

pruning the apple tree.

He could see through the first
floor windows, quite plainly

And there was this body on the floor.

It's gone now, of course.

- Ah. (chuckling)

- From his bedroom, that is

He moved it.

We've been watching through binoculars

- Oh. Oh, bincculars. (chuckles)

What do you want me to do about it?

- Stop him. What else?

He's going to throw it in the river

tonight at 10 to 11

- What makes you think he'll do that?

- It's obvious.

The guayside is near his house

It'll be carried out to
sea and he'll be rid of it.

- Why at 10 to 117

- Because he has got to
wait for the high tide

- Yesterday, it was too early

It was still light

He couldn't do it then.

Tonight is just right.

That's why he's moved the
body downstairs, ready

(foreboding music)

- Tomorrow, without fail.

We're finished here.

- I was just thinking about Saturday night

and the tickets.

- Tickets?

- The theatre tickets.

Oh, you hadn't forgotten, had you?

- For, forgotten? No, no, no

Of course I hadn't forgotten

Look, you get the tickets
and I'l be there

Yes, definitely

Everything's all tied up here.

We'll leave it,

we're leaving in the morning

Nothing to stop me

- Patron? Allow me to
present Madame Didine Gulot

An expert on tides, crayfish, and murder

- Nothing, Jules? Jules”?

- Uh, no. No, nothing short of murder.

(foreboding music)

(water rippling)
(footsteps crunching)

- Inspector Maigret?

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm Justin Gulot.

That's the house.

Over there.

{ominous music)

Look. What time is it?

- Only quarter to

Hadn't you better go home?

- Any minute now. You'll see

(foreboding music)

Now.

- There's no light. I can't see anything

- The gates

- Hmm?

- The gates

{subdued suspenseful music)

- Who are you?

- Chief Inspector Maigret

{footsteps crunching)
(water rippling)

- The Inspector Maigret”?

- Monsieur.

{Judge inhales)

- Ah well.

Perhaps it's all for the best.

Would you care to come back to the house”?

Oh...

I suppose we better bring this back too

{hands patting)

- Lucas.

- Allow me, Judge.

- Oh, that's very kind of you

Oh, be careful of your coat

That sack's had coal in it.

Well, shall we go?

{subdued suspenseful music)

- [Lucas] We'll need to just lit him up.

All right

That's it.

{subdued suspenseful music)

- Whose body was it?

- I have no idea.

Oh, do take your coat off

I think we should be
more comfortable in here.

I should have thought you'd
be in Paris, Monsieur Maigret.

- Well I came down here yesterday.

- Oh, well I keep very
much to myself, you know

I don't always knows
everything that goes on

Now what will you drink? Brandy?

It's very lucky for me
running into you like that

Imagine the difficulty

I should have had trying to
explain myself to the locals

- You said that you don't know him, hmm?

- No, didn't know him from Adam

Now, I should like your
opinicn of this Armagnac

- Why did you kill him then?

- Kill him?

{chuckling) But I didn't kill him

Why should I kill him?

I never saw him before in my life.

Your good health, Inspector

- Where do you want it?

- Oh, not in here, please

This carpet shows every mark

- Tell Gulot I'll call him later.

- Right.

- Tell him not to talk.

- [Lucas] Good

- Are there any servants here?

- No, not living in

- Hmm.

{door clicks)

- Anything to identify him?

- Not yet.

Look at that.

- Made in Panama.

- That's gonna make it nice and simple

What was he,

what was he doing upstairs?

- Upstairs? Ch, I see you've
been talking to Didine Gulot

She seems to know

more than I do about what
goes on in this house

- Who lives here besides you?

- Oh, only my daughter.

Oh, Lise knows nothing about it

She never left her room.

- You mean last night, hmm?

- Well neither last night nor tonight

- How do you know?

You weren't here tonight

- Oh, well, uh, because, um,

well, I usually keep her
door locked at night

She's liable to wander about.

It was on Tuesday morming

I went upstairs, there he was

A perfect stranger with a fractured skull

- Where upstairs?

- Oh, inthe, uh, well, in the passage

- Why haven't you reported this?

- Oh, but you must see,

it would be disastrous
it I had to go to prison

- What's going on here?

- Who is this”?

- My son

- I thought you said no one
else lived in this house?

- He lives on the other side of the town.

- Perhaps you would be
good enough to explain

what's happened

- Who's this?

What is Gulot doing here”

Well who is this, anyway?

My God, Lise.

(footsteps thumping)

- Who is Lise?

- His sister.

- Oh.

{fist smashes)

- Come on.

{fist smashing)

- What is it, Albert?

- Are you all right, Lise?

- Yes.

- Lise!

- [Lise] ¥What are you looking for”?

- He's gone

- Who was it?

- I've got a pretty geod idea

- Good evening, Papa

- Good evening, my dear.

This'll want a new lock in the morning

- There was somebody here, wasn't there?

Who was it?

- Monsieur.

- Where do you think you're going?

- Fishing.

- What exactly is wrong with your sister?

- Nothing. There's nothing
wrong with anybody

Only him

- Why is her room kept locked”?

- You better ask him that.

She'd be all right if she was
left to live a normal life,

but he can't leave anybody alone

He drove my mother mad till
she was forced to kill herself

to get away from him

- [Maigret] Just a moment

- Look, wouldn't it do later?

I can't afford to miss this tide.

I've got work to do

- All right.

Go and do it.

- Found lots of these in
odd corners of the bathroom.

{package rattles)
{particles pattering)

- Glass?

- Looks like it.

- Hmm.

{glass patters)

{water sploshing)

- [Albert] Marcell

{footsteps tapping)

I've just come from my father's house.

The police are there.

- What do they know?

- They knows you were
in her room last night

She told them.

- I'd better go to the police

- I wouldn't.

The less they know, the
better for everyone

I should clear out and keep them guessing.

- But if I clear out-

- You'd better be quick.

One of them followed me.

{water rippling)

(tense music)

(contemplative music)

- Is there anything else the
Chief Inspector will require?

- Oh, I shouldn't think so, thanks

(phone ringing)

- Hello? Yes, Monsieur

Uh, the Chief Inspector

- Ah, thank you

Patron?

(footsteps thudding)

- Anything come through on Marcel yet?

- Not yet.

The whole local force is looking for him

He probably headed straight
out across the estuary.

- [Maigret] Hmm, what's the other side”

- A place called Marans.

Pretty bleak. Marshes and small holdings.

I've alerted the police there

- All right, I'll see you in half an hour.

(phone clicks)

Did you, uh, finish up there?

- Yes, Monsieur

- [Judge] Is it all over?

- [Maigret] Yes.

- Go up to your room my dear.

Miss. Lise is going up
to her room, Estelle

- Yes, Monsieur

- How long has she been like this?

- Since she was 16.

That's why I left Versailles

- Your son suggested that-

- He's not my son

- Monsieur?

- His father could be any of a...

Oh, please forgive me

Do sit down.

His father could be any
of a dozen creatures,

dago from a dance band,

an American soldier,

a scruffy, so-called painter

At least, thank Ged, he's not mine

- And Lise?

- I don't know.

I feel very close to Lise,

but that proves nothing

- What medical advice
have you taken for her?

- My one dread is that
she'll pass on the faint

from mother to daughter,

daughter to

- You would not permit her to marry”?

- No, no, no

That, that's impossible

It's quite out of the question

- And the, uh, upstairs window?

- I suppose it is your duty to probe

You see, when she suffers,

I suffer.

I keep close watch on all who come here.

(chuckles) I suppose they
imagine me ignorant of it

So long as they're decent
and clean living, I

You see, there's so
much she can never have.

It's not humanly possible
to impose total denial

- I see.

- You also see why I concealed the body.

If I were arrested and
she were left alone,

it would be...

- You said, "It would be disastrous."

{dramatic classical piano music)

- Yes. I dislike the abuse of words.

What will you drink, Inspector?

She plays well, don't you think?

{dramatic classical piano music)

- Therese. Had any visitors lately?

- Cnly you and the other policeman

It's out of season.

- [Lucas] No one else at all?

- There was a man who came in on Monday

and said he'd be back to dinner.

But he never came.

That's him.

But why does he look like that?

- [Lucas] Because he's dead

Ah, Patron

The sole's good

- Then we'll have the sole.

- [Lucas] He we here last Monday

- I heard.

Therese, what have you heard

from Marcel?

- Marcel?

- Yeah, you know he's planning
to run away, don't you?

- Me?

- Oh yeah

A certain old lady tells me

that you know all about Marcel.

- (chuckling) That one

Her tongue'll fall out one day.

How should I know what Marcel is doing?

{Lucas laughing)

- I must say, Madame Gulot
has got ‘em all taped

Anything. uh, new on the postmortem?

- Well, deceased was well nourished

and was killed by a blow from the front

with a blunt instrument,

to wit, one jar of Joyeuse.

- Joyeuse?

- Hmm, bath salts

Beside the, um, glass splinters,

they found crystals of sodium phosphate

perfumed with jasmine

Bath salt.

- He was killed
{phone ringing)

in the girl's bathroom

- Hmm, anybody else recognise this?

- A bus conductor remembers

he got off here but can't,
for the life of him,

remember where he got on

He only had three passengers.

Remembers the other two perfectly,

but this one?
- Therese, it's for you

- Hello? Yes.

Oh, it's you

Yes, he's, he's here now

Uh, uh, I don't know

Well nobody said anything about it

I can't.

I've gotta go.

(phone clicks)

{phone dial whirs)

- Mademoiselle? It's me again.

Can you tell me where that call came from

that you just put through here?

- [Operator] Oh, the Cafe
Arthur in Marans, Monsieur

- Thank you very much

(phone clicks)

Lucas, Marcel has just phoned

from the Cafe Arthur in Marans.

If you (indistinct)
quick, you'll catch him

- Right.

{Maigret coughs)

- Ah.

- Marcel, what have you done to him?

- This isn't what I ordered.

- What have you done to him?

- Nothing yet.

- You think you're very clever, don't you?

He was going to marry me

He was.

I knew she'd only get him
into trouble. (crying)

- What did he ask you
on the phone just now?

- He said, "Find out if there was a paper

in the dead man's pocket."

- [Maigret] I see.

- Was there?

He's innocent.

He's got nothing to do with that lot

- He was after Lise.

- You don't suppose he'd
have married her, do you?

- Why not?

- Because I wouldn't have let him.

I told him that last Monday
at the judge's house

"You just try it," I told him

"I'l turn up in church

and I'll kick up such a stink
you'll never live it down."

- At the judge's house last Monday

- Yes! I said...

Not in the house.

Outside. Outside in the street.

- Hmm, I heard.

(foreboding music)

(Madame Maigret tuts)

- Oh. Oh, Jules

But what am I supposed to do
about the theatre tickets?

- Listen, if we can clear
this up by tomorrow

I can still make it.

What are the chances of
winding up here in 24 hours?

- With the corpse still not identified

and the chief suspect missing,

100 to 1 against

- (sighs) Oh, about 50, 50

Yeah, well I'll do my best, huh?

Bye-bye

{Lucas chuckling)

- Funny, it says here,

"The deceased had eaten a full scale meal

of fish in the course of the evening."

Now he didn't come back
to the hotel to eat,

so who fed him?

(phone ringing)

- Maigret. (inhales)

Who? Nantes?

Oh ves, put 'em through

Yes, Monsieur

Yeah. I see.

Good, good

Yes. Right

Thank you very much

Nantes' police recognised the photograph

- Oh, who was he?

- A Dr. Mandel, bachelor

He's about 50.

Special interest in psychiatry

- Why did he buy his clothes in Panama?

- He used to be a ship's doctor

- [Lucas] Ah

- Hello, Mademoiselle. Maigret

Yes, I want Nantes again

The, the police sta, what?

- [Operator] I'm sorry, Monsieur

It may take a little time.

This is a very small exchange,

you know
- Yes, I,

yes, yes, yes.

I know it's only a small exchange.

- [Operator] Yes, but what
you can't know, Monsieur,

is that I run it single-handed

- Single handed? Oh. (tutting)

Do you know, you have
have been so efficient

that I would never have guessed it.

(operator laughing)

No if you can keep it
up for another 24 hours,

I'm going to buy you a box of chocolates.

{operator chuckling)

- [Operator] We're not allowed to accept

presents from subscribers.

And in any case,

I'm not very fond of chocolates

- Oh, well, uh, marrons glaces, hmm?

- [Operator] Very kind,
Monsieur. (laughing)

- Not at all, not at all

Now, since you're there,

could you get me the police at Nantes?

- [Operator] Oh, I'll really try

hard for you, Monsieur.
- Thank you, Mademoiselle

Did you get Marcel?

- He'd left the cafe by
the time they got there

- Oh.
- There's no sign

of him since.

- [Lucas] Well, what now”?

- Well, you might try his mother.

She might know where he is

- Do you think she'd tell me?

- Oh, scare it out of her, Lucas

Ah, well she's probably frightened
out of her wits already,

poor old soul.

- Hmm.
- All right,

I'll hold on.

What's that?

- By hand, from Judge Forlacroix

- Hmm.

- What?

- Do you know where Marcel
did his military service?

- In the navy, most likely

- Do you think you could
find out what ship”?

- Yes, I'll do that.

- Good.

{door clicks)

What's it say?

- The Judge wants you
to go round and see him

He wants to confess to the murder.

{suspenseful music)

(tense music)

- I was not quite sure what
the procedure would be,

but I have settled all my affairs.

I should be quite ready to
leave whenever you require

But I would be grateful
if you would let me stay

until after Lise has gone.

She'll be leaving within half an hour

- [Maigret] Lise is going?

- Ah, yes, I've arranged for
her to go into a nursing home

That is, until I can come
back and look after her again

It's a very good nursing home.

- Still don't know who the man was.

- No, I'm sorry

I've told you all I know.

I heard Lise scream.

I found him in her room,

and when I asked him to leave, he refused

- Oh, you spoke to him then?

- Uh, yes, well just for a few moments

He was most insolent.

(chuckles) I'm afraid I lost my temper.

- I didn't know you spoke German

- Ch, well, just a little

I manage to make myself under...

That was a trap, wasn't it?

Was he German?

- We don't know, Monsieur

But you see, neither do you

What makes you think Lise did it?

- Lise?

- Come, come, Monsieur.

He was a much younger man than you,

stronger and heavier

You could never have killed him,

certainly not from the front

The truth of the matter is that you

would rather see Lise in a hospital

than facing a murder trial.

Isn't that it?

What you are doing now

could take you to the guillotine

There's no one else that you'd lay down

your life for, is there?

{door clicks)

- I'm ready, Papa

- Lise, did you ever

see this man?

- Yes, he came to my room

- Who brought him?

- Nobody

- What did he say to you?

- He had a watch.

He was looking at his watch

- As if he was in a hurry?

- No, (chuckling) like, like this

- I see.

Did you hit him?

- Hit him?

{door clicks)

- The gentlemen are here, Monsieur

- We're going now, Lise.

- Yes, Papa. I'll get my bag

- You should have done this years ago

- I was warned she'd get worse.

Tried not to believe it.

Just wanted to keep her
near me as long as I could

- Without treatment.

- They can't treat it

I know.

That was her mother too you see

It's called dementia praecox

There are many forms.

- That was 30 years ago

It's called something else now,

And is sometimes curable.

- Not when it's gone as far as-

- Murder?

(cork pops)

Here, Lise never killed

anyone in her life.

- Ah, so he served in the
good ship Moineau too

All right, thank you, Jaminet.

Did you find Marcel's mother?

- I did. A right, "Poor old soul," eh?

- Oh, what is she like then?

{Lucas chuckling)

- Hard as nails. Plans every move

Sent for a lawyer at the drop of a hat.

- Did she?

- Indeed she does.

I found this in one of Marcel's jackets

A hotel bill.

- Mm-hmm. He spent a night at Nantes, hmm?

10 days ago

- And Mandel came from Nantes.

What's the connection?

- Plenty, see he served

on the good ship Moineau too

Mandel was the ship's doctor

Why should Marcel want to see him now”?

Medical checkup?

- What, for himself?

How about a check on Lise,

to see if it was safe to marry her?

- Hmm, I take this woman
to be my wedded wife,

subject to a satisfactory medical report

Doesn't sound like a man in love.

- No, but it sounds like Marcel's mother.

- I've got to get back to my rabbits.

- Huh? Oh, Didine

Good, I am sorry

You. uh, you, wanted to see me,

didn't you?
- I've got something

to show you

It concerns Albert.

I was collecting
- Didine, I'm-

dandelions for-

- Very, very busy just now

Lucas-
- Ah, when have I

ever wasted your time?
- Doctor Mandel,

he would have had a maid
or a receptionist, eh?

Try and get her own here, hmm?

No matter how late,

as long as I don't miss

that train.
- Well, have I?

- You're a fat lot of use, you are

- Come on, Didine

We gotta get back to your rabbits

(Lucas laughing)
(playful accordion music)

{footsteps crunching)

(birds cawing)

Albert and Marcel.

Albert's going and I think I know where.

Keep an eye on Marcel

I'll send a man to relieve
you as soon as I can

On guard, Didine

On guard

(tense accordion music)

{footsteps crunching)

- I'll wait.

- Well, I don't know when he'll be back.

Oh, here he is

{door clicks)

- Albert. You looking for me?

- Yes, I, uh, I wanted
to have a word with you

- Oh, right. Come in here

I shan't, uh, if you'l
give me a few moments.

Superintendent?

- Monsieur.

(tense music)

{fingers tapping)

Sorry you had to wait

- I wanted to, uh, talk
to you about Marcel

- Ah, I thought you might.

Sit down.

{Maigret coughing)

Cigarette”

He's been a very good
friend to you, hasn't he?

- Oh, the best.

- You're worried, naturally

- Well, I, I wish he
hadn't run off like that.

It looks bad.
- Right

That was a mistake.

Well I suppose you know he's
planning to marry your sister?

- Oh, yes. I knew that.

It's all right with me

- [Maigret] Mm-hmm. How about your father?

- Oh, he's insanely possessive about Lise

He's even tried to spread the idea

she's not right in her head

But he'd have had to let
her marry in the end

- [Maigret] And, uh, Marcel's mother?

- Got him like that.

But she was coming round, or so I heard

- She wanted reassuring I suppose

after all these stories she's
been hearing about Lise?

- Lise's all right

She just needs to lead a normal life

Look, she's as sane as you or me

- [Maigret] Hmm

- What's all this leading to anyway?

- Well, to Marcel I'm afraid

You see, we found out that the dead man

is a psychiatrist.

And that Marcel paid him a visit in Nantes

10 days ago

We also know that Marcel was seen outside

the judge's house on
the night of the murder

- You mean Marcel took this
doctor fellow to see Lise?

- Hmm, to get her a clean
bill of health, I suppose

But suppose the doctor refused”?

What would Marcel do then, hmm?

- He could have lost his temper.

He was always quick to fly into a rage

I shouldn't be surprised
if that's how it happened

- You see, the trouble is,

we're stuck until we can find Marcel

and get him to talk

I suppose you wouldn't have
any idea where he might be

{Albert chuckling)

- No, uh

- Come in, Jaminet.

- You!

I'll tell you what you'll
get out of that one, nothing!

Not a blind word.

Not if you grill him
from now until next week,

not a blind word.

- Take him outside.

Sit down, Marcel

{phone dial whirring)

Hello, Mademoiselle, the Hotel du Pont

You had any food?

(Maigret sighs)

Du Pont? Lucas.

Uh-huh, there's this girl,

a receptionist from Dr. Mandel,

has she come yet?

Oh, well, when she does, bring her.

Oh, yes. We'll all be here.

All night, by the look of it

Uh, wait, wait.

Something I want you to do for me

I want you to get me a
kilo box of marrons glaces

Yeah, yeah. Where?

I don't know. Anywhere,

Steal 'em.

(phone clicks)

Now, Marcel

- This way, Mademoiselle

Doctor Mandel's receptionist

- Ah, all the way from Nantes.

How nice of you to come

Now we won't keep you long

I just wanted you to see
if you could identify

a young man who might have paid a visit

to the doctor one day last week

- Oh yes, Monsieur, I
recognised him at once

- But you can only see-
- Huh?

- The back of his head.

- Well I mean the one
out there on the bench.

- Not this one?

- Oh, him too. They came together

- I see. Thanks.

- Is that all, Monsieur?

All this-
- Huh?

- Was just for that?

- Yes, yes.

See the Superintendent

Sit him outside with Albert.

I'm tired of the silent service.

- All right, come on.

Come on, come on. Make
yourself at home outside

We haven't got all day.

There's a boy.

So Albert went with him to Nantes.

That was very friendly of him

- Hmm, oh yes.

Albert's been a great friend tc Marcel

There's nothing he won't do for him

Fixes him up with his own sister,

promises him that he'll inherit the house

and all the money.

- And that would please mother

- Oh yeah

Even persuades the doctor
to come and examine

Lise in secret.

- Now that's the one
point that doesn't fix

in this picture
- What's that?

- Well, I mean Mandel was getting on

I can't imagine him
shinnying up a drainpipe

- You wouldn't have to if Albert

was there already to meet him,

show him the way

- Albert.

- Albert, safe because he knows

that his friend, Marcel,

would be roasted alive

before he gave away the girl he loved.

- Of course. He ran away
to cover up for her

- Yeah.

- He must've known it'd be
like signing a confession?

(Maigret chuckles)

- Confessions, we're
cluttered up with them.

The judge's confession

{Maigret coughs)

I'wonder, uh

- Hmm?

{Lucas chuckling)

- You're back in there.

You were right, Albert

He's too tough for me.

- Why are you keeping me here?

- Bring him in

- [Marcel] You listen to me

You, you, you, can't keep-
- All right, you too

- Me here under these,

these false pretences, that's what it is.

He told me that...

You said that Lise did it.

- You see, Albert, he can talk

- [Marcel] It was your
father. Look, look at that.

Your father.

- What are you talking about?

- He knew. He knew all the time.

- [Maigret] Hows?

- Well he must have done, he was there

He went in with the doctor.

He, he used his own key

And they left me waiting in the street

and he came out.

He said Mandel was dead.

He said, "Lise had got
violent and killed him."

But you knew it was your father

Why did you lie?

- I didn't. It was true.

- [Maigret] So Lise killed him?

{Albert chuckling)

- Yes. I was trying to protect her

The fact is, I'll admit it to you,

the honest truth is she's out of her mind.

She wasn't responsible

- You teld me, you, you swore that you

- So Lise did it.

- Yes, that's right

- And, uh, cleaned up
the mess afterwards, hmm®~

And pulled the body out onto the landing.

- They're very cunning, you know

- Yeah, and frightened, Albert

That's why you killed Dr. Mandel

He confirmed what you'd always
feared about your sister

that she had inherited your
mother's mental sickness.

And if it were true about her,

then what about you,
Albert, what about you, hmm?

You were frightened, Albert, weren't you”?

You hit him with the first
thing that came to hand

Albert gruntin
gd gd
(fists thudding)

{both grunting)
(fist cracking)

- Hey!
{Albert grunting)

{Lucas smashing)

(fists thudding)
{both groaning)

{both gasping)

(Marcel screaming)

(all grunting)

{Albert grunting)
(foot smashes)

{Albert groaning)
(fists smashing)

{Albert groaning)

(all gasping)

(Maigret sighs)

- You all right?

- I'm getting too old
for these boy's games

- Can I go now?

- Yes, go away

Go a long way away.

- Oy, take it easy there

A tooth there hurts.

- You're all right.

- Yeah, I'm only gonna die

- Well you'll have to die in Paris.

Come on, we've got a train to catch

(bright accordion music)

{melancholy music)

(Madame Maigret sighs)

{phone dial whirs)
(door clicks)

- Well, you certainly took your time

- [Maigret] It's all right,
we can still make it.

Happy Birthday

Got a taxi waiting downstairs

- YWhen you went away,

vou said it was just a routine job

- Ah, well that.

Cleared that up in a couple of hours.

But then somebody had
to go and find a corpse

(sighs) I'll just change my tie, eh?

- Well, I'l find it for you

I put your blue silk one in.

I thought you were never coming

Here it is
- You know,

it's a funny thing.

I've still got a strange feeling

that there's something
down there that I forgot

I can't think what it is.

- Oh, Jules, you shouldn't have

- [Maigret] Hmm?

- Marrons glaces.

- Ah, that was it.

- That was what?

- Uh, that was what I
thought you would like

- Ah.

(both chuckling)

{lips smacking)

Ah, now come on (indistinct),

we have no time for that.

The curtain's going up in a minute

- [Madame Maigret] Wait a minute.

- Come on, come on

- Oh. (blows raspberry)

{Maigret chuckling)
