His mother has been warned.
She is here and wants to see you.
You know each other.

Ever seen.
True? - In the cafe.
And you, have you ever met this man? Maybe.
You may have him ever seen in the Calas cafe? And somewhere else? Antoine, you've never met Mr.
Pape outside the cafe? Never.
Not even on a station? No.
I hate stations.
You both love Mrs Calas, huh? How was it in its work? you did it turn? - What you say is disgusting.
Calas and cut into pieces, is not that disgusting? That has nothing to do with it.
- So you say.
What should I do? Nobody says anything.
You do not know each other.
I have three suspects for the murder of Calas.
Who did it? How? Who of the three? All three together? And why? I would like to know.
You both love Aline Calas.
I'm convinced.
You show her a disservice.
That you do not realize.
She is most at risk.
What is it? - I'm thirsty.
You have water.
That is not what I mean.
Wine? I would rather have something stronger.
- We have not here.
I want to pay for it.
That's not allowed.
I'm not feeling well.
I will send the sister to you.
Which gives you something.
I think your lungs are not his best shape.
Never considered to stop? Good.
What about Dieudonné Pape? He remains silent and we have no evidence against him.
He is the lover of Mrs.
Calas, right? And even more, I believe.
But why would her husband now have only cut into pieces? For money.
Maybe Calas had some savings.
Dieudonné deserves very well.
He has a home.
And he's as honest as gold.
And the cafe? Perhaps he no longer wanted to work for others and he wanted to take the place of Calas? And Antoine? - The other two have'm using.
Meanwhile, they are all here and we get nowhere.
With the evidence we have, they get the death penalty.
Not mine.
You must Antoine's mother to "allow m.
Perhaps tomorrow.
I'll see about that.
My son may have done the impossible.
He hangs the hunk out but it is still a child.
She'm tempted.
He works hard and is very popular.
You only have one child? - Yes.
His father died in '40 to.
Would I'm quite able to talk to you? - Tomorrow.
Really? The magistrate's okay.
Still nothing to tell, Mr.
Pape? Had Calas geld? He could get by the bar, I suppose.
Would you like to have a bar? I'm too shy.
You will be transferred to the remand prison.
I am officially accused? - Not yet.
The prison? Bastien? I send clients to you.
Pope Dieudonné.
So he called.
Should you laugh? Petit Beurre is not everything.
Give him no cell next Aline Calas.
They may not speak to each other.
Call Boissancourt, the birthplace of Aline Calas.
Add to the doctor, the mayor, the notary inquiring about 't couple Calas.
I'm going to the cafe.
You can call me there.
Whether Lapointe helps.
It will not be easy.
- Do your best.
Nothing special? Do you have the key? Go eat a sandwich and then come back.
Are you here again? Are you hungry? What are you doing here? - And you? This is my house.
- Not really, I understand.
Why this late visit? I read in the newspaper that my mother was arrested.
Is that true? It is partly true.
She is in custody.
Have they killed him? I do not know yet.
What they can get for punishment? Death penalty.
I did not realize Maybe you do not love her.
Excuse me.
It's probably for me.
Yes, I am in charge of this case.
My assistant has called you.
When? Are you sure? This is essential for the investigation.
Is it a large amount? Thank you.
I'll call you back tomorrow.
You knew your grandfather? He was a farmer.
My mother never told anything about him.
Not a farmer, but landowner: Honoré de Boissancourt.
My grandfather? He's a month ago deceased.
Your mother inherits his entire fortune and the ground.
They want nothing.
She denied everything.
Did not you know? Have a seat.
Bastien put themselves with coffee.
Why did you refuse the legacy? The notary of your father phoned me.
What does that matter? I would like to understand.
Why? That's part of my profession.
Bastien has been working for twenty years here.
He has seen many criminals and as many innocents.
He can not so much, but he does what he can.
This he can not do.
The fact that my father is dead, I am nothing.
I have done everything possible to get out of there.
Calas helped me by making me pregnant.
He was a brute, but anything was better than my miserly father.
And your mother? That is deceased at my birth.
You must not have had an easy childhood.
What should I do with that money? Start a new life.
Met Calas? With another.
There it is all too late.
And your daughter? - She does not need it.
She has just saved.
Without us.
Without me.
Calas has spoken notary and was furious because you had refused the inheritance.
He came back and threatened you.
As of Dieudonné Antoine, of beiden have killed him.
- They did not kill him.
Then you do it.
Thanks for the coffee.
Those states with the legacy that is the motive.
They have killed him for the money.
- She refused the inheritance.
That's what she told you today.
One morning? We know it is still not what happened.
No one has known.
Hearing them pass one of them.
I'm going to release Dieudonné Pape.
- I forbid you.
The lab has not found anything.
No blood on his clothes, no evidence in his home or in the pub.
You do not release one of the main suspects.
I am squarely against.
I have three arrest warrants.
Their lawyers get difficult.
The worst lawyer gets him free within three days.
They will laugh at you.
I want him to release.
I will hold him personally monitored.
Op m'n erewoord.
What are you planning? I do not know.
Can see the mother of Antoine him? - I rule later.
Not now.
I have nothing new to report.
Come along.
You have five minutes left.
The identification service has found nothing in your home.
I have no reason to hold you longer.
Put him off the handcuffs.
Would you please sign your statement? Please.
Here.
Thank you.
Marboeuf go with you to pick up your stuff.
You are free.
Aline? We were able to establish that she is guilty.
We found an important clue.
Her arrest warrant has already been signed.
I remain provisionally on the desk.
If you have information for me, please reach me here.
The prison? I may Bastien here? Bastien.
Pape Dieudonné put themselves immediately to you.
He is free.
The magistrate has approved.
Make sure he Aline Calas this time it looks.
They can talk to each other.
Not too long.
Do not ask why.
Just do it.
What is going on? They have released me.
That's nice.
- I do not want you Shut up.
Why? Shut up, please.
Go home.
I can not prevent you sit here.
Everything will be fine.
They have no evidence against me.
Not everyone thinks that way.
I have spoken to a lawyer.
He is going to apply for my release.
I fear it is not so simple.
- Do not worry.
Tonight you were so close.
It is stupid.
I felt like I was watching over you.
You've often watched over me.
Bad.
I have been a coward.
When it with you but will be fine.
If all this is over, we go.
Ended.
I need to speak to Inspector Maigret.
I listen.
I arrived at night.
The light was out in the cafe.
I heard Calas shouting very loudly.
And I heard bangs.
Aline screamed.
It was horrible.
And he went on.
He talked an inheritance and money that belonged to him.
He kept hitting.
Aline screamed even louder.
Then I grabbed a hammer.
Do it for.
I ran there.
I entered the room.
She was lying on the ground Calas and hit as hard as he could.
I got him back beaten on his head.
He collapsed.
I lifted Aline.
I laid her on the bed.
She was unconscious.
When I went back to Calas.
I'm dragged to the kitchen.
When I have a glass of water and taken a sleeping pill for her.
She had regained consciousness.
I said Calas him was going well and that she had nothing to fear.
I gave her something to drink.
I sat down beside her.
She was exhausted and quickly fell asleep.
I have watched her.
At least an hour.
She slept peacefully with her head towards me.
I went back to the kitchen.
I had to rid myself of the corpse.
I sawed it into pieces and the pieces thrown into the water.
The head I burned the factory in an oven.
And the suitcase? I'm bringing let Antoine.
But he is innocent.
Like them.
When you told her the truth? On Sunday.
I could not report me.
Do you like her so much? Are you coming, sir? - No.
I take a taxi.
