Maybe we can your husband is now in question.
There he just comes.

The girls need to ensure that drinking customers.
If they then go with them, go us anything.

It already does her no more.
It has sometimes happened, if you know so much.
In the kitchen.
It is always so.
You barely notice he's gone, and he's been.
Then a girl smooths her feathers.
Has she talked to you about a countess? A countess? Quite possible.
She looked like a girl of good family.
She had regular customers? It is a coming and going of tourists here.
And the young man who came here every night? He had a good reason for this, he was immediately in love with Lili.
A police inspector later.
His first name is Albert.
Are you sure? Can I make a call? - The phone hangs at the toilets.
What are we doing? Can I just open tonight? What did she say when you asked her to change her life? She laughed.
She called me her 'rookie'.
I said I was older than she.
Then she threw me, "It's all not aged.
I'm much older than you.
' She was very sad, I would say desperate.
I knew there were secrets in her life.
Did you sleep with her? Did you ask her for it? Has it ever proposed? - Never.
And did you find that strange? With me it was different.
How? - The other men She had to endure.
She hated them for what they did to her.
She was talking about a guy who she is not coming down.
And while she talked They clutching my hands.
That's why I say that she loved me.

A stationmaster saw the drummer from a train steps to 5:23 pm.

Men? - No, not to me.
We saw each other much.
She came home late and slept during the day.
Emile, a cognac with water.
A cognac with water.
From the house, Commissioner.
I know from the newspaper.
Unbelievable.
I asked her almost last seen.
- How was she? She looked very tired.
Here was an elderly man with back hair, one Oscar? So someone I have not seen.

I also have other young girls show come and chic ladies.
Where was that? Club Modern White Street.
How did she deal with it? - They knew all the tricks.
Did she also with the boss? - That's none of.
Was he mad at her? - Everybody loved her.
You too? - I've told you everything.
But if you want, I can do everything explained.
It's time, I'll go.
Are you going to Le Plaisir? Did you know that ukkie seen? Unbelievable.
They are all away from him.
There must be a reason.
Come and see, nightly entertainment.
Club Le Plaisir presents an original striptease show the boldest of Place Pigalle.
Let yourself be intoxicated by the thrill.
If you do your coat.
Rose.
Are your girls there? - They're getting ready.
There is no changing room.
They use our bedroom and toilets.
We are few people here.
I keep an eye on everything.
There they are.
Champagne? Rather a cognac with water.
- That gets you in a champagne glass.
Early in the evening we serve only champagne.
Do you understand it? I will sit with you, Commissioner? - Do you want to drink something? How old are you? - 28.
Married? Yes, I've been with a juggler.
He was awkward.
One evening he dropped me.
You are left last night with Lili.
As usual.
She pretended she was right.
As soon as I was gone, she went back to the cafe in the Rue Germain Pilon.
What do you know about her? I think she was tired.
Why she had chosen for the job? Choose your really there for? I have to leave.
You expect nothing special anyway, huh? What they expect is a look at my thighs.
Ladies and gentlemen, have a good evening.
May I recommend this bottle? That's a good one? - Perfect, uitstekend.
I do not leave minors more inside, inspector.
It can control you.
- Come on, baby.
Through this rotbeen I can not leave here.
Sometimes I wish he went off.
Do you know her or not? - Lili? She came after five o'clock in the morning with drunken guys who took them from Le Plaisir.
Or with that gnome, or the saxophone, or the boss himself.
How long she stayed with them? - No more than a few hours.
she allowed herself to pay? she allowed herself to pay? - By the staff and the boss.
But the others They did not decide their beautiful eyes.
As they prepare to take the girls to me in confidence.
Lili never said much.
They did not come from our environment.
Sometimes they called the convent where she had grown up.
Notre I do not know.
Marly-le-Roy.
She talked mostly about Eudice mother, the Mother Superior.
Just to make her angry she did the wrong path.
she never talked about her father? When you mentioned that word, she looked the other way.
She was a neat girl who rebelled.
Who 's worst.
Do you need to see the others.
If they come off, you feel that it's not real.
I have nothing to say.
What do you know about Lili? - We did not talk with each other.
We were not friends.
- Why not? I could not stand her mannerisms.
Did you fight? That disagree.
She was jealous of me.
She could not have it that I was better than them.
She could not dance again.
She showed everything, but beyond its number suggested nothing.
Are you a dancer? I started on my twelfth with classical ballet.
Do you know if there was someone in her life? Certainly.
And she was not justly proud.
I can only say that it was an old guy.
Why do you say that? - We got dressed together.
She tried to hide her bruises.
I've got my eyes in my pocket.
Once she was supposedly fell down the stairs.
But the place of the bruising I understood.
They are always old guys who have such disorders.
You still need me? I must, I have to play the piano.
Why did she run away? - We have her put out.
Was she disobeyed? - Worse.
When she was 16, it went all wrong.
In the evening she climbed over the wall to meet married men.
How did her father? - He died when she was eight.
He died in a train accident.
Where can I find her mother? - She emigrated from shame.
There is still a paternal aunt.
She is now in the church.
A pious woman.
I knew this would happen.
Strange is not it.
If you lead such a life, accidents happen.
Have you heard from her mother, your sister? When my brother lived, we accepted it because of him.
Later, the people knew again that she was of low birth.
And she did not hear at home.
It was a relief when she went out of the country.
Do you know this area? - I'm just drove through it.
There is the statue of General Trochain, my great-grandfather.
And near here is the castle that belonged to our family.
It is sold after the First World War to new realms.
A marriage beneath your position naturally leads to discord.
Can you give me the address of her mother? No one knows her.
And they do not say anything.
Even when she sees the corpse, she swears it's not her daughter.
What her the tie omdeed was what people thought.
When the girl was 16, she was already gone.
That story I know.
I must take you to the coroner to identify your cousin.
Do you want that? That's my duty.
Why is she shaved? - That we did not.
Shameful.
I had recognized her without the birthmark.
Would you like to wait? I still have to ask you doctor.
Discovered new? - Yes.
She had a child.
Then I had not mistaken.
Sometimes you remember anything willy-nilly.
The rumor circulated which my cousin was out of the country because she was pregnant.
You must know who is the presumed father.
There were several names, there was plenty of choice.
My sister had taken her time to cures in La Bourboule because of her tonsils.
There, they lock someone has met her pregnant.
Then she ran away and went to him.
What filth.
Mr.
Commissioner, phone for you.
There was found a murdered woman, a countess.
With a gun? - No, strangled.
Another.
What time was that? This afternoon at half past five I had to go upstairs.
I noticed her door was open.
I thought that was crazy.
When I went down, the door was still open.
I called, but no one responded.
I do not know why, but I had a bad feeling.
I reluctantly went inside, with my nose to the smell.
And when I saw her.
Her eyes were rolled back.
If you come in here easily unseen? Through the service stairs you come past me.
Are you always? - Only if I do the shopping.
As caretaker you have to eat? Got them frequently visit? Then it was not been so dirty here.
She had no maid? - That was crazy, just like her.
Was she really countess? - Apparently so.
Did she have money? - She did not die of hunger.
You last night or this morning to see someone go up? That young man did not come.
- What man? A neat young man with round glasses.
He often came to visit her.
He called her "godmother".
They got even more visitors? - Dr.
Bloch.
Who called them when they were dead drunk.
Lapointe Call Dr.
Bloch.
Ask if he comes immediately.
Say that the Countess is dead, and I want to see him.
Say not think that she was murdered.
Do you know Mr.
Oscar? - Which Oscar? Which Oscar whatsoever.
- No I do not know him.
Daar is a doctor Bloch.
He obviously does not pull in trouble.
Morphine.
How long have you treated her? - I treated her.
I just came in emergencies.
If she was depressed or panic, she called me.
She was afraid of death.
- An addict and alcoholic.
Not bad, huh? - That happens.
Have you ever helped her from there? It was hopeless.
That did not succeed.
You gave her drugs when she was not? An addict can not simply at one point without drugs.
I met her twice-blowing to.
Then I had to inject her.
took them into confidence? - That's sometimes occurred.
Which falls under my professional secrecy.
Good evening, Commissioner.
Why did you say that you only went into the kitchen with Lili? You have surveyed the room rental.
I had to say because of my wife.
Commissioner, I offer you a cognac to.
From my private stock.
That had hurt her unnecessarily.
They think I ever let her down for a younger woman.
Would you have left her in the lurch for Lili? If they had asked me that Yes.
Did you love her? - You call it what you will.
I can express my feelings bad.
I have known many women these men would excite and played with fire, but never with such an urge.
Did you know that she was leaving with you? - I told her.
She refused? If she had not refused, she would still be alive.
In any case, someone had her in its grip.
What is not easy to figure out.
Oscar went to her stand by that history with Albert? Why did she not name Oscars? Maybe they wanted to give him the chance to save themselves out.
I will confide something.
Rose never let me down.
We are so used to each other.
I can not live without her.
And even if I had ran away with Lili I had returned.
Day, Mr.
Commissioner.
I have not finished yet.
It is not easy to unravel everything.
And I must always control everything.
I listen.
- Madeleine Lalande born in Roche-sur-Yon.
Mom was operator.
Father unknown.
She maid in Paris.
Soon she is maintained by lovers.
She was very beautiful.
They then took all drugs? - It does not look like.
She often went to the casino.
There she met Count von Farnheim.
Austrian nobility.
I have his letters.
- Have you read them? He was crazy about her.
I wish I could write that.
"My girl, I beg you, do not leave me.
Furthermore, life without you is unimaginable.
' He begs her to marry him.
"Dear Madeleine, I'm old.
Soon, you are free again, still beautiful and, if you do find good, rich.
" How is he deceased? His body lay at the bottom of a cliff on their estate.
An accident.
Dizziness, according to his doctor.
Pull all the staff after that was employed when he died.
I've known him for ages, Commissioner Philippe Mortemar.
His father teaches at the University of Nancy.
I arrest him now for the 8th time.
On the street he is known as Lola.
What is it? - Eventually my poems.
my debris blown my senses intoxicated elliptical whirlwind capital letters, uppercase Oh, tears paralyze me Leave us.
You do not need me anymore? - No thanks.
Well done.
Please fix it? - Maybe.
I did not do anything.
Why? The Countess You went to bed with her.
She loved my poems.
She was my godmother and patron.
She gave money.
They supported me because they believed in me.
your hair already knew? - A month or five or six.
Tell me about the count.
I do not know anything.
Was it murder? - An accident.
Everyone was after her inheritance, gigolos, gamblers, friends.
She had a lot of money? She sold jewelry constantly.
- Did you see it? Who gave you money to disappear? - A friend.
Doctor Bloch? I called her that night, "If I get arrested, you get problems.
' You blackmailed her so.
- I wanted to leave.
Oscar Does that name mean anything? You are lying.
Was she afraid of someone? Only afraid of death.
Come on, run him off.
- I've told you everything I know.
Take care of him in the meantime.
- Come on, cousin.
Greetings Inspector Simon.
I have the list of the staff.
Antoinette MEJAT, chambermaid.
Lucie Moncoeur, cook.
Maria Pinaco, hulp.
Angelino Luppin, butler.
And the house servant and driver, Oscar BONVOISIN.
Finally.
What has become of the others? - I made inquiries.
It is only known that the cook is now working in Montmorency.
Should I go there? No, I'm going to get some fresh air.
Recherche.
Lucie Moncoeur? - In the kitchen.
I walk with you.
Your former employer, Countess von Farnheim, was murdered.
What a joke.
Enough.
Take the eggs out of the refrigerator and separate the yolks.
Kent u Oscar Bonvoisin nog? Did you hear the question? - I'm not deaf.
What kind of man was it? - A huge kapsoneslijer.
And an egoist and an asshole.
Excuse me, Commissioner.
No, it is not.
Proceed.
What was the type? - I do not like gossip.
But a drunk driver is a drunk driver.
He made overtures? He looked every waitress if he could devour her.
There are more who think they are irresistible.
Why are you asking all this? Have you seen him? - I was just thinking.
Three months ago I went to my brother in Paris.
I saw someone on the street who seemed familiar to me.
He looked at me, and then he suddenly turned away his head.
Did you think it was Oscar? - Not immediately.
I had not seen him for twenty years.
I thought he was back to La Bourboule.
La Bourboule? - Ja, in Auvergne.
He had a house.
To tease him I treated him like a minkukel.
He had insoles in his shoes.
What he had then the throttle in.
So bad it's not like he killed the Countess.
Let the yolks thicken and do not eavesdrop.
He had an affair with the Countess? After the death of the earl they arrived morning her room.
That's one of the reasons why I left.
If the staff at the dive bosses in bed then it is no end.
And now If you do not mind, I would like you ophoepelt.
They go so at the table and I still have to do everything.
Where can I call? In the small room, immediately to the left as you go into the hall.
If you pick it up, I do not want to testify.
Since the bosses do not like, and lawyers put your look.
That's already happened to me once and that does not happen to me again.
Do not count on me.
There is not much about Oscar.
After the death of the earl He stays a while with the countess.
He sells drugs in brothels in Marseille.
And during the war he disappeared.
- No, but.
Him too.
What if we spread the rumor Philippe at the Countess at the time of the murder.
We will send Philippe forward and ensure that Oscar just do not kill him.
That is a risk.
Did you like this, fagot? I'll hit you like to look at your mouth.
You do not have to shout.
- Stuff pack and go.
Can I really leave? - Get out, dirty paw.
Calm down, I'm going.
Come on, come on.
Will you see the new girl? Come inside.
My wife is on her just instructing.
Slower.
Slower.
Even slower.
- Sit down, there is room enough.
Take your time.
Not immediately show everything.
Do not pull on your head.
Your arms up and your head under your dress, is clumsy.
I did not know that.
- Now it is.
Should my petticoat also like? - Everything.
And now you show your boobs.
Do not worry, they see nothing else.
I do at times the light.
Then you pack your things and go quickly to the toilets.
What a stiff troela.
I have to prepare the food.
Eat you bring a snack with us? - I do not say no to.
Boring is not it, is not it here? - I was just thinking about you.
In the good sense, I hope.
- Who knows.
That depends on you.
You obviously know all the transvestites away.
This is Lola, a pathetic.
And you keep your apparently sometimes doing drugs.
Do as I say, I'll be lenient.
What do you expect from me? You spread a rumor.
Philippe at the Countess was when she was killed everything seen and brags about in the neighborhood.
Cinch.
Unplug the buoys but firmly out.
But if the person about whom I have heard, you have to be careful.
He does not just take.
Is there a message for me? I do not, I'm not a mailbox.
Delicious eaten, thank you.
- Thank you Fred but.
He goes shopping every day.
Strange that the killer is coming to see Lili's striptease.
Would he have been jealous? - That you have to ask Fred.
He also had loose women.
He knows such feelings though.
I have to go change clothes.
But you do not leave, you're here at home.
Come on, I want to talk about your number.
Oscar can also hurt me? - If you know anything, you run no risk.
Doctor, met Lola.
I'm going to die here in the street, I'm dying.
I have just the power to inform the police about you.
Doctor.
Doctor.
Lili was really so special? - I do not know.
I was too late to see her dance.
What's your name? - Dolly.
Yeah, but I mean your real name.
- Louise.
"Neck und Beinbruch.
"That's what they wish for success.
Oh, yeah? Thank you, Commissioner.
- You should never thank.
Otherwise it does not work.
Go to the bar to receive the guests.
You must dress not do so early.
That's a shame.
Yes, here he comes.
It's for you.
I'm coming.
Are you going? I have a surprise in store in the hazing of Dolly.
You know I'm talking not like surprises.
What are we doing? - If you have nothing to him.
Dr Bloch helps us.
He has no choice, he has to cooperate.
Oscar should respect me for Philippe.
Then we catch him in the act.
It's too dangerous for you.
Boss, I do it in memory of Lili.
Beware, boss.
I shot him.
Shot, boss.
Right in his heart.
It is the first time.
That leaves you unmoved.
Oscar was too sketchy to me.
And I do not believe in ghosts.
This had to be a neighborhood-related case.
Everything took place here.
I loved her.
It's terrible.
It is over.
For you though.
And that's a good thing.
I was expecting you already.
On that particular night Lili came back to say to Fred she left and that she had reported him to the police.
When I asked why, she laughed.
I could not stand.
I hit her.
We fought.
I wanted to strangle her.
She fell to the ground.
She came hard with her head on the scoop up.
Can I get my jacket, Commissioner? Le Plaisir is plenty of party, ladies and gentlemen.
