But this time they're wrong.
I do not work with one crowbar.
And I've always known immediately when you arrested me.

A young guy? Sometimes you have to look beyond your nose.
Inspector Maigret.
Lachaume, you say? I will not recorded.
I'll be right.
There is a man shot.
Destour, beautiful 't parket.

How many people live here? Lachaume senior and his wife.
They are very old.

Leonard and his son, Jean-Paul.
And Catherine.

His wife died of pleurisy.
Even when I could just fix 's death.
Catherine is the help.
When the death occurred? I do not dare to say that.
I treat angina, but this That's all.
Thank you, Doctor.
You will it so see.
- What? By family.
I'm going to look around downstairs.
Patron, come look at this.
Crazy, usually able to cry the family to the bed of the deceased.
Here nobody.
It's dead quiet.
Yes, oppressive.
I wanted to help, Catherine, interrogate.
But she worked here for 50 years and pretends to be the chatelaine itself.
Leonard was murdered by one burglar who ran away with wages.
That's it.
She's afraid she cocks her silverware.
- What's left of it.
You thinking what I'm thinking: Too good to be true.
Armand Lachaume, he? I was expecting you.
- I would not say that.
Tell me what you know.
- I do not know anything.
Who is in charge of the Biscuiterie Lachaume? My brother, Leonard, was succeeded father.
A family business in 1817 - two years after Waterloo.
What exactly do you do in the company? Warehousing and freight forwarding.
Then you still have some free time, huh? Your brother was a widower.
Did he have relationships? We have always lived here.
But outside this house he did have his privacy? What does that have to do with the break-in? Talking about the burglary.
Catherine said that the wages of the workers was stolen.
Is that right? Why did your brother the money in his room and was it not in the safe? He would not give the accountant.
Your brother got a gun shot in the chest.
And you heard nothing? How many people work in 's business? Twenty, but we have had 150 men.
Is there anyone you suspect? I do not know who.
You think the thief and murderer came from outside and that your brother was killed because he'm caught? We want to locate the murderer of my brother.
A burglar.
What do you know about that? Day, Moers.
Everything to your liking? - It's okay.
Not hot in the factory, right? Where's the dead? In z'n kamer.
Do you sometimes show a light? My lighter in the car.
Inspector Maigret.
Nice to meet you.
Agnelot, magistrate.
- And COMELIAU? That's sick.
I fall in.
- I hope it 's not serious.
How far are you? Do you have the weapon yet? Not yet.
Daar is 't, he? The ball continued stabbing.
Small caliber.
This takes a while.
I have all the time, Commissioner.
Would you touch anything? What time is the crime? - I do not know.
Surely you've heard all the witnesses? - Only the brother of the victim.
I just got here.
It was but one question.
I only know that a man with 'would be killed one burglar and that no one has heard anything.
Not much, yes.
Excuse me.
I would like to know more about your famous method.
I do not work according to one method and I know nothing.
Hey, look This indicates burglary.
What Do You Think? - Maybe.
Did you show a lighter or matches? - I do not smoke.
May I ask you a few questions? Ms.
Lachaume? Can I talk to you? On one quiet place.
If you come along.
Excuse us.
You go.
You still wanted to see me? - No.
That's what I thought.
What does a woman like you in this house? - Excuse me? Do not you sit down? I prefer to stand.
When you have your brother for the last time seen? Empathy? Last night.
At twelve.
What if I'm not indiscreet? - We met in the corridor.
He waited for you? - I do not know.
How was your relationship with your brother? - As in all families.
Intimate? - What do you mean? Commissioner.
Lovely embroidered sheets.
Which S Solange? As you come into the room of your husband, huh? - Yes.
My husband is quite sick.
So much so that you do lock the door? - I would not say.
Since when do you sleep separately? From the beginning.
I am shocked by your method.
Would you be my wife no longer bother? Solange, go to the salon.
You are mistaken.
The Commissioner does its work.
He asks questions and seeks the truth.
Would you like to have our lawyer there? Shall we call him? It is not the habit but if you 't wish I could say nothing against it.
Moers, come look at this.
Do you have something to pack this? - 'N Hold on.
Remember you more often such a thing in the room of Madam? Used by Mr.
Armand.
The heating did not do it.
He's got him fixed.
He has forgotten.
And now? What now? What are you going to do now? Nothing.
The ladder and speak the broken glass in front of him.
So the burglar entered.
The shards were destroyed on the wall.
Interesting to justice.
The burglar has one passageway.
everything is right.
Why easy as it can also be difficult? After you, Mr.
Judge.
If you can not drain out of a different tune, we go on strike.
What do you want from me? I do not make notes.
Ask 't to Mrs.
Solange.
- Do it yourself.
Inspector Maigret.
Marc Agnelot, magistrate.
- Justin Brême, bookkeeper.
You know for sure what happened tonight? I was there this morning at 9 am, as always.
I saw the police and I've heard that Leonard was murdered.
You already work with Lachaume? More than 30 years.
30 years you say? Then you have Léonard known as a child.
Strange.
Only you and Catherine are sorry about.
This company is my life.
The management trusts me completely.
Félix first, then Léonard.
Now he is dead, the other will not Do you mean that the other brother, Armand the company can not lead? I already know how it will end.
- How? Bankruptcy, closure, unemployment.
At my age, you will find no more work.
We can not even pay the heating technician.
So none of 's staff would like to break into the house? There's something I do not understand.
The case is already months in 't doldrums and the greenhouse is empty.
Who pays' t pay then? - That every time a miracle.
Miracles do not exist.
Why are you so interested in money? 'T Go to murder.
Without reason I do not find the killer.
They come back anyway as they napluizen books or through the bank.
Mrs.
Solange usually gets money from her account.
They gave over to her brother.
We are here.
Here's it.
What a luxury car.
- Does he have her? As far as I know.
They are boiled in that family.
I still proxy? - You do not need to defend.
When you're done browsing around It is waiting in the salon on the Commissioner.
No, but.
How is it with you, dear Arnaud? - Fine.
Mr Radel is a lawyer.
We studied together rights.
If you want Félix 't get stuffy, continue.
I'm here more as a friend than as a lawyer.
To avoid misunderstanding, I should point out that Armand is sickly.
The death of his brother has'm shocked.
He knows the police methods is not so and opposed perhaps to some questions.
I will therefore be present at your interrogation.
But I do not want the family is forced on the defensive by me.
Who would interrogate you? You, sir Radel.
I listen.
- How long have you been their lawyer? I can hide behind my confidentiality.
Yes, but you're too smart for that.
I repeat my question so.
- Two weeks.
That you consulted? Are you afraid of something, Ms.
Lachaume? Perhaps I may ask you something your lawyer? What were you doing on the night of the crime? Should I reply? - That I recommend.
As is talking about your private life.
I have dined in Paris.
Waar? - In Croft des Lilas.
Only? That's my thing.
What is your maiden name? - Zuber.
Zuber, Leather and skins? - Yes, the daughter of Frédéric Zuberski.
My father died recently.
And you have inherited.
- I protest.
I know the cake factory is bankrupt.
That told the bookkeeper.
I do not know where you want to go.
- Me neither.
In the beginning you always touch in darkness.
How big is your power? - I protest.
Solange has the finances and the cake factory soup honors the legacy.
Do you have the night given for the crime of money your brother? So there was nothing to catch the burglar.
Why do you insist that the plant continues, ma'am? Where do you want to go? Why should I look for someone who breaks in a house where there is no money which show a heavy ladder meezeult and needlessly 's diamond strikes? And all to "shoot a man dead with one loud bang that no one hears while five adults and a child sleeping in the house.
Where's your cousin Jean-Paul anyway? That is not here.
- Where is he then? I took him to school.
He knows nothing.
Why is his room as neat as if he is on vacation? He's got a room on the second floor.
That was my brother quieter.
- Solange, shut up.
I make reservations on the right for the consequences of your tendentious questions.
I'm still waiting for 't time.
A question yet.
Who's that girl over there among all those family portraits? Véronique.
That was my oldest sister.
She's been dead for over 20 years.
I finished in the room of the dead.
Too many fingerprints.
I'm going through.
Very good, Moers.
Why did not you listen to me? Now you're dead.
Why, boy? Why? You never want to listen to your dear old min.
I had just died and not you.
Do not touch me.
Keep your dirty paws off me.
Do you think you still come back here? No, not currently.
Henceforth, I demand that 's hearing take place at' t parquet, in my office.
I will bring you to the precinct? - No, I'm here 's walk.
My people to take me home.
He continues to chase us? Not like research, huh? Find out which ships have berthed tonight.
I will.
Would you have a drink with me? What do you take? - 'N Dry white wine.
Two white wine.
The landlady was very generous with information.
She hates the Lachaumes.
You only have to press one button and tell them everything she knows.
In? A beautiful boy takes' t clean little sister out riding in his convertible.
Brand? - A red Triumph.
Wat is 't menu? - Cassoulet.
Seems what? Can we eat here? - Yes of course.
Irritating, that judge and lawyer with the cake bakers Lachaume.
I do not know how 't last.
Two cassoulets and red wine.
- Good, sir.
I will 's what? That woman is too good to waste away.
Poor Solange.
She comes home fixed not rd draw with such a dork.
When Armand was a little more guy, 'twas not come so far.
We laugh, but then face the street.
We can only hope that the dead rise up and they take over the case.
Make work from there.
- Now? Nee.
Eat only.
Sir? Mr.
Hirschfeld is there? - What do you want from him? Inspector Maigret.
- Due to the death of Lachaume.
I'm David Hirschfeld.
Have you known Mr.
Zuber? - Of which I have known? I've worked with him for ten years.
I was in charge.
It was my best man.
He has the business from the ground up.
Did you know his daughter, Solange? - Of course.
Since she is married to one Lachaume, they seldom.
She was her father's heiress? - I think so.
I bought 's business.
Zuber knew he was abandoned.
He had given to his daughter to avoid inheritance tax.
It was about 300 million.
300 million? A sizeable amount, huh? It's not a pleasant job, but it pays well.
I paid partly in cash and the rest in ten installments.
On behalf of Mrs Lachaume? - Exactly.
Mr Barbarin has managed the estate.
He is certain in 's phonebook.
Dank u, meneer Hirschfeld.
If I'm not there, then ask only for my son.
What can I pour? - A beer.
Do you have a phone book? - Yes.
Is the professional guide also good? - Fine.
Your cassoulet was delicious.
- I'm not for nothing from Toulouse.
Are not Inspector Maigret? My assistant said you saw Solange with a man in one red Triumph.
Is that right? Waiting 'r almost every night on the corner.
Last night, too? - Yes.
He was nervous because she was late.
There indeed happen all week strange things.
She went with her lover away and oaf of one Lachaume, who is now dead grabbed his Pontiac and drove the same direction.
You will find not that crazy? Would you recognize that lover? - I can 't draw.
But I can not draw.
Sometimes he took one pick themselves up if they did not show up.
What does he look like? - Very neat and well dressed.
And always short on cash.
You have quite understanding of cars.
Are you talking number of Triumph? Then you are wrong.
It is not my habit to spy on people.
Moment.
For you, Commissioner.
Hey.
Oh, it's you "t, Torrence.
What? Yes, cassoulet was delicious.
Janvier has feasted.
Is that all you have to tell me? Well, I come.
Any news, Commissioner? Is moving forward.
- You tell not me anyway, right? It's that boat.
It is not easy.
What now? I already told you everything.
- Would you 't tell me? Leave me alone.
I have a headache.
He heard gunshots.
Did you hear shots? - Yes.
Two.
But I was how do you say? Drunk.
I was dead drunk.
I had a party or on the boat with my friends.
I was pissing in the factory and heard: bang, bang.
Twice.
And after that? Then I drank more with my friends on board.
I thought it was a nightmare that woman, I heard screaming.
And then, bang, bang.
The train passed by.
It thundered in my head.
That light suddenly everywhere.
Did you hear that woman scream before it was shot and the light then went everywhere? How often should I repeat that? Thanks.
Very kind of you.
- You're welcome.
The light went on.
They were all awake.
He is not a useful witness.
- Which others do you? But he was drunk.
Two shots.
He saw double.
Then Moers had that second bullet be found.
Except when the crime was committed elsewhere.
I'll be right back.
You wish? - Mr Radel.
He receives only by appointment.
Inspector Maigret wants to talk to him.
I have very little time, Commissioner.
My dinner is waiting.
I will be brief.
A few questions but.
How Solange and Armand married? - On marriage conditions.
Is that all? Ms.
leave everything to her children.
If they are not there? - The surviving.
It is nevertheless an amount of about 300 million? Miss, there is some post to clean up.
That is a bit exaggerated, but just about 't makes sense.
300 million.
And further? That's all.
Thank you.
Another thing.
When Solange two weeks ago came to you was still on her divorce? I can not answer.
- I wanted to know.
What is it? - You scared me.
Why did you say: Unless the crime was committed somewhere else? You die not always in bed.
I have one visit nearby.
Wait here? Mr.
Barbarin? Inspector Maigret.
You must know it is not last night killed one of your clients.
I'm a half, two weeks and one day retire.
I know more of nowhere.
Who's dead? - The oldest of Lachaume.
Véronique? Nee.
Léonard.
A bullet through his chest.
I ask you not to violate 's professional but I want to know more about that family.
Family issues are never simple.
The Lachaumes have seen their way of life without 't understand.
You wonder how they were able to save the biscuit.
According to Armand's his sister's death.
That's not right, huh? Ja en nee.
Why? When she came of age and left the house deleted the old Félix her on the advice of his wife as heir.
Something else.
Have you arranged the marriage contract between Solange and Armand? The old Zuber was proud that his daughter married with one Lachaume but he was cautious.
You knew the wife of Léonard Lachaume? I have also drawn up their marriage contract.
They were almost the same.
She must show a decent dowry.
You can say that both brothers have taken one good party.
Yes, as they call it in some families.
Is there anything, patron? Véronique Lachaume, which 20 years ago was buried by her family lives.
Make sure you find her.
Thus, Canon, for a walk? Nice though.
I'd rather be fishing.
- I'd like to believe that.
And I've never been, where they say.
I'm always unlucky.
On my fortieth I got the mumps.
Do you still have any cigarettes? Preferably heavy.
Commissioner, Solange's gone.
They left at 7 am 30 with a suitcase.
At the Porte d'lvry we could not keep the American from her.
I have all stations and airports warned.
She can not get far.
I've been looking all night.
I would have expected from me.
You must keep me informed.
How far are you? Hello Yes.
True? Wait for me.
I'm coming.
May I know - Solange is justified.
She was gone? - Destour, come.
One out of the rut.
Stop right here.
Trains and airplanes can departure.
Ms had to go to the bakery.
If you take the train or take a plane, you take the subway or a cab.
Not your car.
Whether you've decided to go by car.
In that case Even if you're young, so you can still think.
Get out.
I thought you ran away? - Why? Have you considered this? Two weeks ago, though.
- When you were at Mr.
Radel? Has your lover you got this far you want a divorce? I think I can decide.
What is your lover? I can not tell you.
That's your nephew, huh? I see Jean-Paul almost as a son.
He is rather confused by the death of his father.
I help him.
Are you paying 't? - Yes.
I hope you're not planning Why should I hear that guy? He has also heard nothing.
I have to go home.
Ha, commissioner I thought you'd never come back.
I work, Mr.
Judge.
Any news? Solange did her nephew at boarding school.
Interesting.
If you want him answer? - Who? That boy.
Maybe he heard 't shot.
That's not news.
- Maybe he saw the intruder.
He sleeps on the second floor between his grandparents and Catherine.
In? Would the burglar him have been stopped after he had killed his father? I want absolutely that you will answer it.
In that case, do not count on me.
This makes no sense.
I think there has been broken because there is no evidence that I was wrong.
You'll find that I'll not go? - I'm not.
But again, you have to tell me everything you know.
It's a low-to-the-ground crime in one neat family who is almost bankrupt where wealthy spouse's full of hope come in, and in a coffin out.
I do not understand that.
Solange still alive? Day, Moers.
What's your news? The dead, the wrench Last used.
And he did not like burgundy.
He has a lot of broken bottles.
Can not you be more specific? The key are the same as shards on the wall.
No prints on the window or on the ladder.
Have you just found a bullet Leonards room? Just one.
Up close shot with one 6.
35.
Dank je, Moers.
I'm sorry, I see no evidence here that there has not been interrupted.
Like a thief about 'climbs one wall with broken glass he who does not smash.
He takes one folded in four burlap bag.
Thereby avoiding that he has opened.
And the gun - I just wanted to say The weapon's an automatic 6:35 One small caliber for people who are afraid of burglars.
No professional would use such a thing.
And I'm talking about criminals, not burglars.
They are not armed.
Never.
They know that the punishment will be doubled if they are caught.
Those are the basics of 't box.
True? Is not she leave? - A sleepyhead.
She has the whole day had the curtains closed.
She opened them just an hour.
She went on 'down the window and felt with her hand how it back outside.
Have you seen the caretaker? - Yes.
Her husband was at the police.
He knows you very well.
Have you asked about the sister Lachaume? I wish 't just pass.
The dead leads' s regular life.
She works at night.
She is unmarried.
Furthermore, I have nothing.
She is.
I will go to her soon? - I will go.
Just like in the good old days.
We're closed.
Can I speak Véronique Lachaume? - Lachaume? She has just gone inside.
Vero.
Véronique Lachaume? Strongly something bad happened, they look 's black sheep.
Nobody knows me under that name.
- Killed your brother Leonard.
Too bad for the company.
It could have been better the other.
You seem to be not very upside from there.
Listen gentlemen, sir - Maigret.
Inspector Maigret.
I have seen enough misery.
And Lachaumes are not worthy.
They lead a bourgeois existence.
Everything revolves around their family tree.
Without 't realize they wither away slowly.
If you are so unfortunate to want to live then you are not of this world.
What do you want to drink? - Same as you.
What are we celebrating? Are not you here's been, Commissioner? It is as if I have seen before.
- That's what I thought when I saw you.
Who killed my brother? - Do you know? I see my brothers yet.
I scolded my mother filled and slammed the door behind me skin.
Those two poor boys were burdened with that woman.
Ze terroriseerde ze.
Their lives must have been a nightmare.
Kent u Solange Lachaume? - Solange? That was one childhood friend of mine.
She joined me at school.
She was one pathetic girl.
She came at me at home for my solemn communion, and then And then? I could not invite her.
- Why not? Because they stunk.
In guts and cow dung.
That was not true.
But everyone had fun and said 't following: You stink.
You wash your in pig blood, just like your father.
Kids are tough.
Your parents were not kids anymore.
Nee, 't waren Lachaumes.
Practicing Catholics.
And she a Zuberski, one Jewish.
Therefore, they stunk, Commissioner.
I understood much later.
Your parents have her later still accepted as a daughter.
Money does not stink.
Furthermore, you need to ask me anything.
I was not marriage.
Also not to Léonard and at the baptism of my nephew.
Alles goed, Vero? Here I will not meet my prince charming.
Do not say you do not have relations.
Relationships is one thing.
But true love I now have one handsome guy.
He can divine dance the tango.
But whether 't the man of my life Hard to find the right man.
Dancing, Commissioner? When I was twenty.
Getting old is no fun, huh? I'll pick 'n backlog.
That's better than nothing.
Op 't live, Commissioner.
Are you going already? - Sorry.
Then you are missing my suitor.
That is so.
Until next time.
- Yes.
Who knows.
Hallo, January? Yes, I know, it's late.
Well, listen.
Pik Torrence and make the cook of the cassoulet on.
Tell him it's to help us.
And let 'r hurry.
Take her to the Amazon.
Ja, in Rue Chabanais.
There is one red Triumph doorstep.
Do you offer me something to drink to? - Please.
Give her something to drink.
Good to have you back.
Tonight 's cozy.
This is Jacques Sainval, my friend.
Inspector Maigret.
The world is a comedy to those who think and "a tragedy for those who know.
On us.
Can I talk to you? How long have you known Solange Lachaume already? - Who did you say? I do not know Solange.
Will you never on the Quai de la Gare in the house of Lachaume? No.
I do not know.
I do not understand.
Where were you the night before last? - The day before yesterday? I do not know that anymore.
At home, I guess.
They have seen very often, you Solange Lachaume awaited.
Is this a joke? - I laugh sometimes? Nonsense.
I know that woman.
- Sure you know her.
I forgot.
Quai de la Gare, zei u? The day before yesterday? No, that's impossible.
Night before last we were together, and I Véronique.
Tell him to now, Vero.
- What? That you lie? That you always lie? You know what you do? - And you? Your booty women.
We rushed.
Here I had not expected.
Shame.
I place before the whole of Paris? Do you recognize this man? - Yes.
That's the guy from the red Triumph.
But now I want to go back right away.
Right away.
You're not gonna play no silly things? Again.
I already told you everything.
- I want it yet 's hearing.
What's your name? - Jacques Sainval.
How often? - Your real name.
Jacques Cuvelard.
- Ordinary.
Torrence is sometimes beautiful? - Keep your comments for you.
What do you do for a living? - Where do you want to go? I'm in the movie.
- You play comedy.
You're a gigolo.
- That 's crime? Not even a foul.
How long have you Solanges lover? Approximately one half.
'N Flirty heart does not count.
What would they think of him? - Ask 't herself.
This trial is a result of a crime.
Not doing so tough, so.
Again, I have nothing to do with it.
At six o'clock you went out with her food.
True? In the Closerie des Lilas.
- Good food? What did you do then? - Then we went to her room.
She wanted to talk further.
I have already said that she was scared.
What was she afraid of? Knew that she wanted to divorce her family.
How long they thought it? About a week.
I do not know anymore.
She had lost it to someone.
A week.
What has happened then? A letter of hers lawyer was looking for.
- From Radel? I had advised her.
- Did you know him? He has me at out 'saved one tricky situation.
Schuldbekentenissen be the opgeëist.
Betting Your 't with races, with poker? Everyone has his flaws.
- Yes.
But you gros adorns it.
It's getting late.
What we do with that dancer? Fresh air.
Throw him out.
You really let me go again? To keep one stallion, you have oats in the house.
Can we go to sleep now? I'm waiting for you.
Sorry.
I had to answer him.
I got him released.
I had no incriminating facts.
You not.
Do not worry.
I'll be fine there.
It's often turned out badly.
This was still not interesting.
The unrequited love of a woman is reading cook.
I do not care.
You give something you feel price.
You put you to stay alive, to keep dreaming.
The future looks not everyone.
That's a shame.
Do you have children, Commissioner? That's the only one where I actually am sorry.
If my father me on my eighteenth had married the man who loved me, I would have been better off.
I would not have all those years hunted chimeras.
luck.
Maybe another time, in another life.
I'm glad I met you.
Do not talk about me with the family.
They have one dead enough.
Canon is not there? Are you rested? - Yes fine.
Yes, I'll tell him.
Are you going to eat lunch? On which number? Balzac-1940.
Yes, I 'il pass.
Yes, agreed, Mr.
Judge.
This is the umpteenth time the right call.
What am I going to'm saying? He wants to release report.
- Then he has to do.
Any news, Torrence? I went to the Closerie des Lilas.
She comes every evening.
Always smartly dressed, and dr Casanova.
She pays the bills unseen.
Last night she waited for him on.
Rightly.
And the night of the crime? - She was indeed in the other.
They have not told 'wanted to shoot a guy of 40 under their pigeons.
He asked the bar to Mrs.
Lachaume.
Suddenly there was a fight.
It was quite hard to.
Does anyone have him recognized? The doorman's a connoisseur and saw him in action one black Pontiac.
So Leonardo Lachaume.
The swan song of Leonard before him to killing.
Have you slept well? January.
Kom mee.
Help me with little problem on sheets.
What do I say to the judge if he calls? - Put him greetings.
But, sir - It's only one appointment.
Commissioner - I just want to know one thing.
A detail of embroidery.
About embroidery? Would you come to the Lachaumes? - I have to do.
They pay you anyway for your help.
They trust you.
What are you doing here? Do you understand now never anything? Go away.
Come on, come here.
Not? - Ja, no.
Wait for me.
Others also 'n S embroidered on the sheets? Sainval is only one snack for you? Have you never loved him? So you did not want to divorce him? Of course not.
Armand knew that divorce because he have a letter from your lawyer intercepted? And.
How did he react? He did not respond.
And the family? - Nothing.
Not a word.
When you were scared, huh? Why are you married to Armand Lachaume? As a man, he's not so appealing.
You can not understand, Commissioner.
I spent my whole childhood between dead animals.
Open intestines and feces.
That smell It was as if my whole body smelled it.
My clothes, my hair.
The smell of corpses.
As I slept, I smelled in there.
I beheld the living creatures hanging by their feet with belly cut open and 't warm blood dripping out.
Winter smoking gutters and summer stench.
Can you understand that? Once I arrived somewhere, I dared not move anymore for fear that somebody else that would smelling odor.
I did not move, and lived in fear.
Guys I escaped.
I think they were anyway.
The first time a man kissed me, I ran away.
Every time I heard those words, which were one obsession: You stink.
You stink.
By marrying Armand Lachaume I fled the corpses of my youth.
If I had known On the first night of our marriage he was one epileptic seizure.
I have not seen this morning.
Here.
- Thanks.
I have to thank you.
You were right.
I had to look beyond my nose.
Destour, bel Agnelot.
The judge? - Yes.
Let he come directly to the house of Lachaume.
Commissioner, your method is outrageous.
You'll hear from my client.
Do not bother.
Let the commissioner.
The truth must 's hearing.
I will now proceed to show a small reconstruction.
This room is not suitable for it.
So if you want to come? My parents? - Yes.
Crime comes Solange evening at 12 pm with her lover away.
Léonard awaits her.
He chased her to the Closerie des Lilas and threatened her For Solange go wild.
She took a lawyer, which is mainly occupied with divorces.
So it's right? It's finished.
Solange does not reverse its decision.
Leonard knows.
As he was in the evening crossed the corridor he wants to know if his sister go to sleep.
At home everyone has been waiting for a week at the time.
Everyone is complicit.
Apart from Jean-Paul, who now sleeps upstairs in all innocence.
Léonard is probably the one who has broken the glass shards on the outside and it squared by the salon on the "let s look burglary.
Middle of the night Léonard crosses the corridor on separating him from the room of his sister.
You hear cracking the floor.
Maybe passing at that moment a train which 'drowns t sound.
But Solange does not sleep.
She is afraid.
She even owns one auto 6:35 undoubtedly provided by Jacques Sainval.
I'm wrong, Ms.
Lachaume? Leonard cautiously opens the door.
The room was pitch dark.
He continues.
Come, stay there not stand in the hallway.
Solange lying in bed.
She feels the breath of the man in her neck.
He picks up the wrench, wants to beat.
She focuses and shoots twice.
The first bullet mist.
The second affects Léonard middle of the chest.
Shut up.
You make us broken.
Let me go.
Lachaume's a name.
You can not understand.
That Jewess wanted to make with his money away.
It wanted to avoid anyone.
I wish 't refurbishing, when Leonard was dead.
When Armand had not stopped me, I have not done.
Je stinkt.
Laat me.
You got one outright confession.
That story of burglary with murder ended in nothing.
It's all made up by the batty old man.
Come, we will post them for the short time they have left to live Continue but leave it alone? Now I am free.
You is not long in the cell.
You'll find it 's good lawyer who can speak freely because of severe weather.
What are you doing here? If they had asked my opinion Put that down.
Where did he go? Do you have one cigarette for me? No, I 'm sorry.
You got fire? I had three gold lighters.
But when searching, you understand We have him all to address.
- I've seen it.
Is there's a problem? - No.
Everything is going well, Commissioner.
Does anyone have some fire? Has announced the Canon? It's a tough one.
- Does he have not known? No not yet.
Ga 'm halen.
Sit down.
We've known each other one all the time, huh? More than 30 years.
For 30 years you go in the same way to work.
You see one empty apartment.
And you pull in to the refrigerator is empty and drink.
I need some, Commissioner.
But this time they're wrong.
I do not work with one crowbar.
And I've always known immediately when you arrested me.
Is not it? A young guy has firmly done too well.
A young guy? Sometimes you have to look beyond your nose.
Inspector Maigret.
Lachaume, you say? I will not recorded.
I'll be right.
There is a man shot.
Destour, beautiful 't parket.
January Torrence, kom mee.
And I, Commissioner? What should I? You go to the house of detention.
Then you have shelter and food.
Remember what I told you.
Oh yes, of that nose.
- Exactly.
Leerlooierij Zuber.
Wat 'n stank, he? Tanneries not smell like roses.
You can 't window close? This way, Commissioner.
Here 's Commissioner.
Sir? - Doctor Bertin, the GP.
Unfortunately, I arrived too late.
Poor Mr.
Léonard.
I hope you have touched nothing.
I only set the death.
Where is the family? - Everyone in his room.
They have seen or heard anything.
- Who did you call? Armand Lachaume, the youngest brother.
How many people live here? Lachaume senior and his wife.
They are very old.
Armand and his wife, Solange.
Leonard and his son, Jean-Paul.
And Catherine.
- The wife of Léonard? No, he was a widower.
His wife died of pleurisy.
Even when I could just fix 's death.
Catherine is the help.
When the death occurred? I do not dare to say that.
I treat angina, but this That's all.
Thank you, Doctor.
You will it so see.
- What? By family.
I'm going to look around downstairs.
Patron, come look at this.
Crazy, usually able to cry the family to the bed of the deceased.
Here nobody.
It's dead quiet.
Yes, oppressive.
I wanted to help, Catherine, interrogate.
But she worked here for 50 years and pretends to be the chatelaine itself.
Leonard was murdered by one burglar who ran away with wages.
That's it.
She's afraid she cocks her silverware.
- What's left of it.
You thinking what I'm thinking: Too good to be true.
Armand Lachaume, he? I was expecting you.
- I would not say that.
Tell me what you know.
- I do not know anything.
Who is in charge of the Biscuiterie Lachaume? My brother, Leonard, was succeeded father.
A family business in 1817 - two years after Waterloo.
What exactly do you do in the company? Warehousing and freight forwarding.
Then you still have some free time, huh? Your brother was a widower.
Did he have relationships? We have always lived here.
But outside this house he did have his privacy? What does that have to do with the break-in? Talking about the burglary.
Catherine said that the wages of the workers was stolen.
Is that right? Why did your brother the money in his room and was it not in the safe? He would not give the accountant.
Your brother got a gun shot in the chest.
And you heard nothing? How many people work in 's business? Twenty, but we have had 150 men.
Is there anyone you suspect? I do not know who.
You think the thief and murderer came from outside and that your brother was killed because he'm caught? We want to locate the murderer of my brother.
A burglar.
What do you know about that? Day, Moers.
Everything to your liking? - It's okay.
Not hot in the factory, right? Where's the dead? In z'n kamer.
Do you sometimes show a light? My lighter in the car.
Inspector Maigret.
Nice to meet you.
Agnelot, magistrate.
- And COMELIAU? That's sick.
I fall in.
- I hope it 's not serious.
How far are you? Do you have the weapon yet? Not yet.
Daar is 't, he? The ball continued stabbing.
Small caliber.
This takes a while.
I have all the time, Commissioner.
Would you touch anything? What time is the crime? - I do not know.
Surely you've heard all the witnesses? - Only the brother of the victim.
I just got here.
It was but one question.
I only know that a man with 'would be killed one burglar and that no one has heard anything.
Not much, yes.
Excuse me.
I would like to know more about your famous method.
I do not work according to one method and I know nothing.
Hey, look This indicates burglary.
What Do You Think? - Maybe.
Did you show a lighter or matches? - I do not smoke.
May I ask you a few questions? Ms.
Lachaume? Can I talk to you? On one quiet place.
If you come along.
Excuse us.
You go.
You still wanted to see me? - No.
That's what I thought.
What does a woman like you in this house? - Excuse me? Do not you sit down? I prefer to stand.
When you have your brother for the last time seen? Empathy? Last night.
At twelve.
What if I'm not indiscreet? - We met in the corridor.
He waited for you? - I do not know.
How was your relationship with your brother? - As in all families.
Intimate? - What do you mean? Commissioner.
Lovely embroidered sheets.
Which S Solange? As you come into the room of your husband, huh? - Yes.
My husband is quite sick.
So much so that you do lock the door? - I would not say.
Since when do you sleep separately? From the beginning.
I am shocked by your method.
Would you be my wife no longer bother? Solange, go to the salon.
You are mistaken.
The Commissioner does its work.
He asks questions and seeks the truth.
Would you like to have our lawyer there? Shall we call him? It is not the habit but if you 't wish I could say nothing against it.
Moers, come look at this.
Do you have something to pack this? - 'N Hold on.
Remember you more often such a thing in the room of Madam? Used by Mr.
Armand.
The heating did not do it.
He's got him fixed.
He has forgotten.
And now? What now? What are you going to do now? Nothing.
The ladder and speak the broken glass in front of him.
So the burglar entered.
The shards were destroyed on the wall.
Interesting to justice.
The burglar has one passageway.
everything is right.
Why easy as it can also be difficult? After you, Mr.
Judge.
If you can not drain out of a different tune, we go on strike.
What do you want from me? I do not make notes.
Ask 't to Mrs.
Solange.
- Do it yourself.
Inspector Maigret.
Marc Agnelot, magistrate.
- Justin Brême, bookkeeper.
You know for sure what happened tonight? I was there this morning at 9 am, as always.
I saw the police and I've heard that Leonard was murdered.
You already work with Lachaume? More than 30 years.
30 years you say? Then you have Léonard known as a child.
Strange.
Only you and Catherine are sorry about.
This company is my life.
The management trusts me completely.
Félix first, then Léonard.
Now he is dead, the other will not Do you mean that the other brother, Armand the company can not lead? I already know how it will end.
- How? Bankruptcy, closure, unemployment.
At my age, you will find no more work.
We can not even pay the heating technician.
So none of 's staff would like to break into the house? There's something I do not understand.
The case is already months in 't doldrums and the greenhouse is empty.
Who pays' t pay then? - That every time a miracle.
Miracles do not exist.
Why are you so interested in money? 'T Go to murder.
Without reason I do not find the killer.
They come back anyway as they napluizen books or through the bank.
Mrs.
Solange usually gets money from her account.
They gave over to her brother.
We are here.
Here's it.
What a luxury car.
- Does he have her? As far as I know.
They are boiled in that family.
I still proxy? - You do not need to defend.
When you're done browsing around It is waiting in the salon on the Commissioner.
No, but.
How is it with you, dear Arnaud? - Fine.
Mr Radel is a lawyer.
We studied together rights.
If you want Félix 't get stuffy, continue.
I'm here more as a friend than as a lawyer.
To avoid misunderstanding, I should point out that Armand is sickly.
The death of his brother has'm shocked.
He knows the police methods is not so and opposed perhaps to some questions.
I will therefore be present at your interrogation.
But I do not want the family is forced on the defensive by me.
Who would interrogate you? You, sir Radel.
I listen.
- How long have you been their lawyer? I can hide behind my confidentiality.
Yes, but you're too smart for that.
I repeat my question so.
- Two weeks.
That you consulted? Are you afraid of something, Ms.
Lachaume? Perhaps I may ask you something your lawyer? What were you doing on the night of the crime? Should I reply? - That I recommend.
As is talking about your private life.
I have dined in Paris.
Waar? - In Croft des Lilas.
Only? That's my thing.
What is your maiden name? - Zuber.
Zuber, Leather and skins? - Yes, the daughter of Frédéric Zuberski.
My father died recently.
And you have inherited.
- I protest.
I know the cake factory is bankrupt.
That told the bookkeeper.
I do not know where you want to go.
- Me neither.
In the beginning you always touch in darkness.
How big is your power? - I protest.
Solange has the finances and the cake factory soup honors the legacy.
Do you have the night given for the crime of money your brother? So there was nothing to catch the burglar.
Why do you insist that the plant continues, ma'am? Where do you want to go? Why should I look for someone who breaks in a house where there is no money which show a heavy ladder meezeult and needlessly 's diamond strikes? And all to "shoot a man dead with one loud bang that no one hears while five adults and a child sleeping in the house.
Where's your cousin Jean-Paul anyway? That is not here.
- Where is he then? I took him to school.
He knows nothing.
Why is his room as neat as if he is on vacation? He's got a room on the second floor.
That was my brother quieter.
- Solange, shut up.
I make reservations on the right for the consequences of your tendentious questions.
I'm still waiting for 't time.
A question yet.
Who's that girl over there among all those family portraits? Véronique.
That was my oldest sister.
She's been dead for over 20 years.
I finished in the room of the dead.
Too many fingerprints.
I'm going through.
Very good, Moers.
Why did not you listen to me? Now you're dead.
Why, boy? Why? You never want to listen to your dear old min.
I had just died and not you.
Do not touch me.
Keep your dirty paws off me.
Do you think you still come back here? No, not currently.
Henceforth, I demand that 's hearing take place at' t parquet, in my office.
I will bring you to the precinct? - No, I'm here 's walk.
My people to take me home.
He continues to chase us? Not like research, huh? Find out which ships have berthed tonight.
I will.
Would you have a drink with me? What do you take? - 'N Dry white wine.
Two white wine.
The landlady was very generous with information.
She hates the Lachaumes.
You only have to press one button and tell them everything she knows.
In? A beautiful boy takes' t clean little sister out riding in his convertible.
Brand? - A red Triumph.
Wat is 't menu? - Cassoulet.
Seems what? Can we eat here? - Yes of course.
Irritating, that judge and lawyer with the cake bakers Lachaume.
I do not know how 't last.
Two cassoulets and red wine.
- Good, sir.
I will 's what? That woman is too good to waste away.
Poor Solange.
She comes home fixed not rd draw with such a dork.
When Armand was a little more guy, 'twas not come so far.
We laugh, but then face the street.
We can only hope that the dead rise up and they take over the case.
Make work from there.
- Now? Nee.
Eat only.
Sir? Mr.
Hirschfeld is there? - What do you want from him? Inspector Maigret.
- Due to the death of Lachaume.
I'm David Hirschfeld.
Have you known Mr.
Zuber? - Of which I have known? I've worked with him for ten years.
I was in charge.
It was my best man.
He has the business from the ground up.
Did you know his daughter, Solange? - Of course.
Since she is married to one Lachaume, they seldom.
She was her father's heiress? - I think so.
I bought 's business.
Zuber knew he was abandoned.
He had given to his daughter to avoid inheritance tax.
It was about 300 million.
300 million? A sizeable amount, huh? It's not a pleasant job, but it pays well.
I paid partly in cash and the rest in ten installments.
On behalf of Mrs Lachaume? - Exactly.
Mr Barbarin has managed the estate.
He is certain in 's phonebook.
Dank u, meneer Hirschfeld.
If I'm not there, then ask only for my son.
What can I pour? - A beer.
Do you have a phone book? - Yes.
Is the professional guide also good? - Fine.
Your cassoulet was delicious.
- I'm not for nothing from Toulouse.
Are not Inspector Maigret? My assistant said you saw Solange with a man in one red Triumph.
Is that right? Waiting 'r almost every night on the corner.
Last night, too? - Yes.
He was nervous because she was late.
There indeed happen all week strange things.
She went with her lover away and oaf of one Lachaume, who is now dead grabbed his Pontiac and drove the same direction.
You will find not that crazy? Would you recognize that lover? - I can 't draw.
But I can not draw.
Sometimes he took one pick themselves up if they did not show up.
What does he look like? - Very neat and well dressed.
And always short on cash.
You have quite understanding of cars.
Are you talking number of Triumph? Then you are wrong.
It is not my habit to spy on people.
Moment.
For you, Commissioner.
Hey.
Oh, it's you "t, Torrence.
What? Yes, cassoulet was delicious.
Janvier has feasted.
Is that all you have to tell me? Well, I come.
Any news, Commissioner? Is moving forward.
- You tell not me anyway, right? It's that boat.
It is not easy.
What now? I already told you everything.
- Would you 't tell me? Leave me alone.
I have a headache.
He heard gunshots.
Did you hear shots? - Yes.
Two.
But I was how do you say? Drunk.
I was dead drunk.
I had a party or on the boat with my friends.
I was pissing in the factory and heard: bang, bang.
Twice.
And after that? Then I drank more with my friends on board.
I thought it was a nightmare that woman, I heard screaming.
And then, bang, bang.
The train passed by.
It thundered in my head.
That light suddenly everywhere.
Did you hear that woman scream before it was shot and the light then went everywhere? How often should I repeat that? Thanks.
Very kind of you.
- You're welcome.
The light went on.
They were all awake.
He is not a useful witness.
- Which others do you? But he was drunk.
Two shots.
He saw double.
Then Moers had that second bullet be found.
Except when the crime was committed elsewhere.
I'll be right back.
You wish? - Mr Radel.
He receives only by appointment.
Inspector Maigret wants to talk to him.
I have very little time, Commissioner.
My dinner is waiting.
I will be brief.
A few questions but.
How Solange and Armand married? - On marriage conditions.
Is that all? Ms.
leave everything to her children.
If they are not there? - The surviving.
It is nevertheless an amount of about 300 million? Miss, there is some post to clean up.
That is a bit exaggerated, but just about 't makes sense.
300 million.
And further? That's all.
Thank you.
Another thing.
When Solange two weeks ago came to you was still on her divorce? I can not answer.
- I wanted to know.
What is it? - You scared me.
Why did you say: Unless the crime was committed somewhere else? You die not always in bed.
I have one visit nearby.
Wait here? Mr.
Barbarin? Inspector Maigret.
You must know it is not last night killed one of your clients.
I'm a half, two weeks and one day retire.
I know more of nowhere.
Who's dead? - The oldest of Lachaume.
Véronique? Nee.
Léonard.
A bullet through his chest.
I ask you not to violate 's professional but I want to know more about that family.
Family issues are never simple.
The Lachaumes have seen their way of life without 't understand.
You wonder how they were able to save the biscuit.
According to Armand's his sister's death.
That's not right, huh? Ja en nee.
Why? When she came of age and left the house deleted the old Félix her on the advice of his wife as heir.
Something else.
Have you arranged the marriage contract between Solange and Armand? The old Zuber was proud that his daughter married with one Lachaume but he was cautious.
You knew the wife of Léonard Lachaume? I have also drawn up their marriage contract.
They were almost the same.
She must show a decent dowry.
You can say that both brothers have taken one good party.
Yes, as they call it in some families.
Is there anything, patron? Véronique Lachaume, which 20 years ago was buried by her family lives.
Make sure you find her.
Thus, Canon, for a walk? Nice though.
I'd rather be fishing.
- I'd like to believe that.
And I've never been, where they say.
I'm always unlucky.
On my fortieth I got the mumps.
Do you still have any cigarettes? Preferably heavy.
Commissioner, Solange's gone.
They left at 7 am 30 with a suitcase.
At the Porte d'lvry we could not keep the American from her.
I have all stations and airports warned.
She can not get far.
I've been looking all night.
I would have expected from me.
You must keep me informed.
How far are you? Hello Yes.
True? Wait for me.
I'm coming.
May I know - Solange is justified.
She was gone? - Destour, come.
One out of the rut.
Stop right here.
Trains and airplanes can departure.
Ms had to go to the bakery.
If you take the train or take a plane, you take the subway or a cab.
Not your car.
Whether you've decided to go by car.
In that case Even if you're young, so you can still think.
Get out.
I thought you ran away? - Why? Have you considered this? Two weeks ago, though.
- When you were at Mr.
Radel? Has your lover you got this far you want a divorce? I think I can decide.
What is your lover? I can not tell you.
That's your nephew, huh? I see Jean-Paul almost as a son.
He is rather confused by the death of his father.
I help him.
Are you paying 't? - Yes.
I hope you're not planning Why should I hear that guy? He has also heard nothing.
I have to go home.
Ha, commissioner I thought you'd never come back.
I work, Mr.
Judge.
Any news? Solange did her nephew at boarding school.
Interesting.
If you want him answer? - Who? That boy.
Maybe he heard 't shot.
That's not news.
- Maybe he saw the intruder.
He sleeps on the second floor between his grandparents and Catherine.
In? Would the burglar him have been stopped after he had killed his father? I want absolutely that you will answer it.
In that case, do not count on me.
This makes no sense.
I think there has been broken because there is no evidence that I was wrong.
You'll find that I'll not go? - I'm not.
But again, you have to tell me everything you know.
It's a low-to-the-ground crime in one neat family who is almost bankrupt where wealthy spouse's full of hope come in, and in a coffin out.
I do not understand that.
Solange still alive? Day, Moers.
What's your news? The dead, the wrench Last used.
And he did not like burgundy.
He has a lot of broken bottles.
Can not you be more specific? The key are the same as shards on the wall.
No prints on the window or on the ladder.
Have you just found a bullet Leonards room? Just one.
Up close shot with one 6.
35.
Dank je, Moers.
I'm sorry, I see no evidence here that there has not been interrupted.
Like a thief about 'climbs one wall with broken glass he who does not smash.
He takes one folded in four burlap bag.
Thereby avoiding that he has opened.
And the gun - I just wanted to say The weapon's an automatic 6:35 One small caliber for people who are afraid of burglars.
No professional would use such a thing.
And I'm talking about criminals, not burglars.
They are not armed.
Never.
They know that the punishment will be doubled if they are caught.
Those are the basics of 't box.
True? Is not she leave? - A sleepyhead.
She has the whole day had the curtains closed.
She opened them just an hour.
She went on 'down the window and felt with her hand how it back outside.
Have you seen the caretaker? - Yes.
Her husband was at the police.
He knows you very well.
Have you asked about the sister Lachaume? I wish 't just pass.
The dead leads' s regular life.
She works at night.
She is unmarried.
Furthermore, I have nothing.
She is.
I will go to her soon? - I will go.
Just like in the good old days.
We're closed.
Can I speak Véronique Lachaume? - Lachaume? She has just gone inside.
Vero.
Véronique Lachaume? Strongly something bad happened, they look 's black sheep.
Nobody knows me under that name.
- Killed your brother Leonard.
Too bad for the company.
It could have been better the other.
You seem to be not very upside from there.
Listen gentlemen, sir - Maigret.
Inspector Maigret.
I have seen enough misery.
And Lachaumes are not worthy.
They lead a bourgeois existence.
Everything revolves around their family tree.
Without 't realize they wither away slowly.
If you are so unfortunate to want to live then you are not of this world.
What do you want to drink? - Same as you.
What are we celebrating? Are not you here's been, Commissioner? It is as if I have seen before.
- That's what I thought when I saw you.
Who killed my brother? - Do you know? I see my brothers yet.
I scolded my mother filled and slammed the door behind me skin.
Those two poor boys were burdened with that woman.
Ze terroriseerde ze.
Their lives must have been a nightmare.
Kent u Solange Lachaume? - Solange? That was one childhood friend of mine.
She joined me at school.
She was one pathetic girl.
She came at me at home for my solemn communion, and then And then? I could not invite her.
- Why not? Because they stunk.
In guts and cow dung.
That was not true.
But everyone had fun and said 't following: You stink.
You wash your in pig blood, just like your father.
Kids are tough.
Your parents were not kids anymore.
Nee, 't waren Lachaumes.
Practicing Catholics.
And she a Zuberski, one Jewish.
Therefore, they stunk, Commissioner.
I understood much later.
Your parents have her later still accepted as a daughter.
Money does not stink.
Furthermore, you need to ask me anything.
I was not marriage.
Also not to Léonard and at the baptism of my nephew.
Alles goed, Vero? Here I will not meet my prince charming.
Do not say you do not have relations.
Relationships is one thing.
But true love I now have one handsome guy.
He can divine dance the tango.

There is one red Triumph doorstep.
Do you offer me something to drink to? - Please.
Give her something to drink.
Good to have you back.
Tonight 's cozy.
This is Jacques Sainval, my friend.
Inspector Maigret.
The world is a comedy to those who think and "a tragedy for those who know.
On us.
Can I talk to you? How long have you known Solange Lachaume already? - Who did you say? I do not know Solange.
Will you never on the Quai de la Gare in the house of Lachaume? No.
I do not know.
I do not understand.
Where were you the night before last? - The day before yesterday? I do not know that anymore.
At home, I guess.
They have seen very often, you Solange Lachaume awaited.
Is this a joke? - I laugh sometimes? Nonsense.
I know that woman.
- Sure you know her.

You're a gigolo.
- That 's crime? Not even a foul.
How long have you Solanges lover? Approximately one half.
'N Flirty heart does not count.
What would they think of him? - Ask 't herself.
This trial is a result of a crime.
Not doing so tough, so.
Again, I have nothing to do with it.
At six o'clock you went out with her food.
True? In the Closerie des Lilas.

She wanted to talk further.
I have already said that she was scared.
What was she afraid of? Knew that she wanted to divorce her family.
How long they thought it? About a week.

A week.
What has happened then? A letter of hers lawyer was looking for.

I had to answer him.
I got him released.
I had no incriminating facts.
You not.
Do not worry.
I'll be fine there.
It's often turned out badly.
This was still not interesting.
The unrequited love of a woman is reading cook.
I do not care.
You give something you feel price.
You put you to stay alive, to keep dreaming.
The future looks not everyone.
That's a shame.
Do you have children, Commissioner? That's the only one where I actually am sorry.
If my father me on my eighteenth had married the man who loved me, I would have been better off.
I would not have all those years hunted chimeras.
luck.
Maybe another time, in another life.
I'm glad I met you.
Do not talk about me with the family.
They have one dead enough.
Canon is not there? Are you rested? - Yes fine.
Yes, I'll tell him.
Are you going to eat lunch? On which number? Balzac-1940.
Yes, I 'il pass.
Yes, agreed, Mr.
Judge.
This is the umpteenth time the right call.
What am I going to'm saying? He wants to release report.
- Then he has to do.
Any news, Torrence? I went to the Closerie des Lilas.
She comes every evening.
Always smartly dressed, and dr Casanova.
She pays the bills unseen.
Last night she waited for him on.
Rightly.
And the night of the crime? - She was indeed in the other.
They have not told 'wanted to shoot a guy of 40 under their pigeons.
He asked the bar to Mrs.
Lachaume.
Suddenly there was a fight.
It was quite hard to.
Does anyone have him recognized? The doorman's a connoisseur and saw him in action one black Pontiac.
So Leonardo Lachaume.
The swan song of Leonard before him to killing.
Have you slept well? January.
Kom mee.
Help me with little problem on sheets.
What do I say to the judge if he calls? - Put him greetings.
But, sir - It's only one appointment.
Commissioner - I just want to know one thing.
A detail of embroidery.
About embroidery? Would you come to the Lachaumes? - I have to do.
They pay you anyway for your help.
They trust you.
What are you doing here? Do you understand now never anything? Go away.
Come on, come here.
Not? - Ja, no.
Wait for me.
Others also 'n S embroidered on the sheets? Sainval is only one snack for you? Have you never loved him? So you did not want to divorce him? Of course not.
Armand knew that divorce because he have a letter from your lawyer intercepted? And.
How did he react? He did not respond.
And the family? - Nothing.
Not a word.
When you were scared, huh? Why are you married to Armand Lachaume? As a man, he's not so appealing.
You can not understand, Commissioner.
I spent my whole childhood between dead animals.
Open intestines and feces.
That smell It was as if my whole body smelled it.
My clothes, my hair.
The smell of corpses.
As I slept, I smelled in there.
I beheld the living creatures hanging by their feet with belly cut open and 't warm blood dripping out.
Winter smoking gutters and summer stench.
Can you understand that? Once I arrived somewhere, I dared not move anymore for fear that somebody else that would smelling odor.
I did not move, and lived in fear.
Guys I escaped.
I think they were anyway.
The first time a man kissed me, I ran away.
Every time I heard those words, which were one obsession: You stink.
You stink.
By marrying Armand Lachaume I fled the corpses of my youth.
If I had known On the first night of our marriage he was one epileptic seizure.
I have not seen this morning.
Here.
- Thanks.
I have to thank you.
You were right.
I had to look beyond my nose.
Destour, bel Agnelot.
The judge? - Yes.
Let he come directly to the house of Lachaume.
Commissioner, your method is outrageous.
You'll hear from my client.
Do not bother.
Let the commissioner.
The truth must 's hearing.
I will now proceed to show a small reconstruction.
This room is not suitable for it.
So if you want to come? My parents? - Yes.
Crime comes Solange evening at 12 pm with her lover away.
Léonard awaits her.
He chased her to the Closerie des Lilas and threatened her For Solange go wild.
She took a lawyer, which is mainly occupied with divorces.
So it's right? It's finished.
Solange does not reverse its decision.
Leonard knows.
As he was in the evening crossed the corridor he wants to know if his sister go to sleep.
At home everyone has been waiting for a week at the time.
Everyone is complicit.
Apart from Jean-Paul, who now sleeps upstairs in all innocence.
Léonard is probably the one who has broken the glass shards on the outside and it squared by the salon on the "let s look burglary.
Middle of the night Léonard crosses the corridor on separating him from the room of his sister.
You hear cracking the floor.
Maybe passing at that moment a train which 'drowns t sound.
But Solange does not sleep.
She is afraid.
She even owns one auto 6:35 undoubtedly provided by Jacques Sainval.
I'm wrong, Ms.
Lachaume? Leonard cautiously opens the door.
The room was pitch dark.
He continues.
Come, stay there not stand in the hallway.
Solange lying in bed.
She feels the breath of the man in her neck.
He picks up the wrench, wants to beat.
She focuses and shoots twice.
The first bullet mist.
The second affects Léonard middle of the chest.
Shut up.
You make us broken.
Let me go.
Lachaume's a name.
You can not understand.
That Jewess wanted to make with his money away.
It wanted to avoid anyone.
I wish 't refurbishing, when Leonard was dead.
When Armand had not stopped me, I have not done.
Je stinkt.
Laat me.
You got one outright confession.
That story of burglary with murder ended in nothing.
It's all made up by the batty old man.
Come, we will post them for the short time they have left to live Continue but leave it alone? Now I am free.
You is not long in the cell.
You'll find it 's good lawyer who can speak freely because of severe weather.
