(waves crashing)

{soft guitar music)

(bell tinkling)

- Well, Rose, it's been an exciting day

- And it's made a lot of washing up

But those little boys...

That Phillipe's a real villain

- Master Phillipe

- Master Phillipe

- Oh, it's never nice,

but tonight it's really nasty

Bitter.

- You mixed it.

- Then, I must've put in too many drops

I'm so tired, anyway.

I'm sure to sleep tonight

Just throw it out, Rose.

Good night

- Good night, madame.

(waves crashing)

(woman groaning loudly)

- Mother?

- It's Rose.

Run for the doctor.

(groaning)

("Maigret Theme")

- Really.

Yvette!

Mother!

Is there any coffee?!

I've had no breakfast.

Nothing.

It really is too bad.

{soft knocking)

Good morning

- Where is she?

Oh, yes you are, Madame Trochu

This must be-

- That is Henri, my son

- Yes, with the fishing fleet

My name is Besson, Charles Besson,

perhaps you've heard of me.

Your daughter, Rose, you've been told?

- The police came.

Where is she?

- Madame Besson, my mother,

my stepmother that is,

is feeling the shock

She was very-

- Where is Rose?

- Your daughter, madame,
I'm sorry, deeply sorry

I would like personally to
extend my deepest sympathy

- We've come to take her home.

- But she, unfortunately

In short, there has to be a postmortem.

- We come to take her away

- For the funeral.

- There will be a funeral, later.

- Then, we'll get to her things

- But Madame Besson-

- The police said we could

- [Charles] Her room's upstairs

First door on the right
at the top of the stairs

- Hers?

- Your daughter's life
was beyond reproach

If she took poison, it was by mistake

An innocent mistake.

- Henri.

- You must be as eager as
we are to prevent a scandal

Now, I have a certain amount
of authority in the ministry

I'll see that one of the top
men that sent up from Paris

Chief Inspector Maigret,
you've heard of him

What was that?

- Nothing.

- All right, take her away.

{grumbling)

She wasn't pretty even for a murderess.

Open the window open, Lucas

- Open?

- Let out the smell of smoke.

The smell of crime.

- Won't be as easy as that with this room.

Oh, there was a phone call for you

Some minor politician name
of Besson, Charles Besson

- Oh, what answer did he get?

- Wanted you te go to Normandy
to look into a suicide.

- Mm-hm.

- Soothing, charming,
diplomatic, I said no

- Mm-hm, good

- And this card was left for you

A lady wants to see you

An old lady

- I'm not seeing any
more old crones today

- I think this one might interest you

- Madame Ferdinand Besson, widow Etretat

Good boy

Another Besson from Normandy, too.

Popular suicide this

Ask Madame Besson to come in, please

What's her relationship
with this minor politician?

- He did mention his stepmother

- Mm, and they both get on to me,

but independently of each other

One of them thinks we're amateurs here.

(knocking)

Stay here, Lucas.

This might be interesting

Come in.

- [Lucas] Good morning.

- Good morning, inspector.

- Good morning, madame.

- How very nice you are to see me

I feel I know you, inspector

I've followed all your cases

I've quite a collection of newspaper

cuttings about you at home.

But there, I'm embarrassing you

- Oh, we're not so
easily embarrassed here

Sergeant Lucas

- Madame.

- Well, I mustn't waste your time

Two nights ago, a girl who
worked for me died in my house

She had taken arsenic.

- [Maigret] Suicide”

- No.

- [Maigret] Do you knows
who gave her the arsenic?

- Yes, I gave it to her

- Have you come to make a confession?

- Do I look like @ murderess™?

I assure you that I'm not.

- Why have you come?

Because I'm frightened

- [Maigret] Of being accused?

- No, not that.

But poor Rose, I saw her

It wasn't a nice way to die

So, I don't want anyone to say of me,

poor Valentine

- [Maigret] Hmm, why should
anyone want to kill you?

Does someone want to kill you?

- It seems so ridiculous,

but the grave that they're digging today

is really the wrong grave

The arsenic that killed
Rose was intended for me.

I know what you're thinking, inspector

That I'm just a silly, neurotic old woman

- No, tell me how Rose died

- [Valentine] I'm a bad sleeper.

For years and years now,

I've had a sleeping draught every evening

Everybody knows about it

- Everyone”?

- [Valentine] All my family

I have two stepsons and
a daughter of my own

- Do they live with you?

- Oh, that would be much too exhausting.

But they were all there on Saturday

It was my birthday

That evening, the sleeping
draught tasted so bitter

I wouldn't have it.

I told Rose to throw it out,

but the poor silly girl drank it and died

- Did someone want to kill Rose?

- [Valentine] Kill Rose”

No. never

She was just a simple peasant girl

- Mm-hm, and you, madame, why should

anyone want to kill you?

Have you money”?

- Not now.

When I married my second husband,

we were rich for years and years.

I loved it.

Then suddenly, just like the petals

of a beautiful overground rose,

the butler, and the
yacht, and the bank notes

fluttered away.

I have nothing now but a tiny
house and a tiny annuity

- And some jewellery

- Oh, cultured pearls,
and the very best paste

(laughs)

- Well, if I can have
the names of your family”

- My daughter, Yvette, is married

Yvette Sudre.

She was the only one who stayed the night

My stepson, Charles, is very pompous

He's in politics.

If he committed murder,
he'd lose his seat.

And Theo is a social snob.

If he killed his stepmother,

he'd never be asked to
the right houses again

(laughs)

But that's impossible, one of my family

trying to kill me

If only you could see them.

{upbeat music)

(tapping)

- Has the train from Paris arrived yet?

- No, sir.

- Fine, that's something anyway.

Good morning, Madame Sudre

- Good morning, inspector.

- Are you meeting someone from Paris?

- No.

Paris, single

(train whistle blows)

- Is this it?

- Yes, sir

- Thank you

- He's expecting a big shot from Paris

I can read the signs.

You say single

Your mother's a very brave woman

We all thought-

- Thank you

- Madame, 9:20's not running

- Why not?

- Not on a Tuesday

It's a new timetable.

- Thank you

- The next will be...

It's a slow train.

- That's Monsieur Theo.

- Monsieur?

- Monsieur Thee Besson, you know

- Thanks.

If Inspector Castaing telephones,
remember I'm out of here.

(tapping)

- The usual, sir?

- So, you're Inspector Maigret from Paris

Well, I hope you're comfortable, sir

If it's sunshine you want, sir,

you've come to the right place.

But if you want murder

You're in luck.

That's Monsieur Theo Besson,

one of the old lady's stepsons.

- Is he staying here?

- Been here for two weeks.

Funny, he's more of a Deauville type

- His stepmother lives here though

- Yes, that's why he usually keeps away

(laughs)

- There's a famous detective
from Paris over there.

- [Maigret] Good morning, Castaing

- Ah, good morning.

I've got all the documents here.

- Good, let's lock at them out of here

- Out here, inspector?

- I like the smell of the sea.

- Very well,

Well, let's take the old
lady first, shall we?

Here we are.

Aged 60 years, born in
(mumbling) to her parents,

married a postman, had a daughter Yvette

The postman died. TB.

She went to work in a shop,

met old Besson, who was
already worth several millions

He had two sons, Monsieur
Theo and Monsieur Charles.

Why we're in luck, that's Monsieur Theo

- Really?

- He doesn't want to knows us though

He's in society

Exclusive, you understand

He goes to dinner with duchesses.

- And birthday parties
with his stepmother.

- Well, not as a general rule

There was a certain coolness.

I have all the details as...

Monsieur Charles, Monsieur Theo.

- Well, suppose we just
have a short summary, hmm?

- That was the summary

- In your own words,

- Very well then

All the people who might
want to kill the old lady

were [in her house that day

Monsieur Theo, Monsieur Charles,
and Mademoiselle Yvette

24 words, I believe

-25.

And Rose?

- Oh, the poison wasn't intended for Rose

- No, but she was the one who died

- Very well then

Here is Rose.

Here are her fingerprints,

and this we found in the
sitting room, initial L

- Mm-hm.

- Monsieur Theo Besson,
I've been looking for you

So, you don't want to talk to me.

The name is Trochu.

You heard it?

- Yes.

- You didn't come to Rose's funeral.

- Oh, you're the brother.

My dear fellow, I'm terribly sorry

Why don't you have a drink with me”

But not here, let's go
somevvhere where we can talk.

- [Inspector Castaing] Monsieur Besson

- Are you coming or do you want

me to set in on you now?!

(dramatic music)

- Is that the same glass that-

- No.

- It looked exactly like it

It made me feel-

- I'm being very careful. Charles

I know you can't afford to
have me poisoned as well

Not in your position

- I don't see it as a joke

I mean, I'm a deputy.

Rose's death in this house has cost me

hundreds, thousands of votes.

Especially. amongst those damn fishermen

- I'm so sorry, Charles,
you've been so good

- Thank you

- But I mustn't be selfish.

Your own family needs you, foo

Your mother-in-law is ill, isn't she?

- Gravely ill

- She's a rich woman.

- It's a very upsetting time for us all.

- Oh, Charles, would you carry
that bed upstairs for me?

- Carry the bed?

- Yes, it's Rose's

I dragged all the furniture out

into the sun to take
away the smell of death

- But I'm not allowed
to carry heavy weights

- Marie will help you

You'll help, Monsieur
Besson, won't you, Marie?

- [Charles] Just a moment now

Take easy there

It's terribly heavy.

I don't knows why I
should have to always

- The stairs are very short!

- Be careful there, Marie.

Mind that doorway.

Oh dear.

Like a tonne of lead.

I'm not sorry to see that settled.

Oh dear.

- Oh Charles, could we turn it round?

- This is where it was before.

- I want the whole room changed

- Oh dear, really

- There.

- Yes, there.

- Poor Charles, you deserve a drink

- Oh, yes, please

- If only I wasn't expecting a visitor.

- Oh dear.

(chair slams)

It just occurred to me.

Silly idea, really

Well, goodbye.

(waves crashing)

(knocking)

- Oh, how nice

- [Maigret] Good afternoon

- Now, a chair for you size

Do you think this looks manly?

Do smoke your pipe

Or do you want to begin
detecting right away”?

- Well, I've just climbed
up a very long hill

- Then, why not have a
glass of my calvados?

It's very old.

It expects to be drunk with ceremony

- Merci.

Sante, madame.

I've seen one of your stepsons, Theo

- Poor Thea, he works so hard at keeping

in with the right people when
he hasn't the right money,

or any money at all, poor boy

- [Maigret] Your husband left him nothing?

- My husband's will was exquisitely fair

Everything was to be divided
equally between the four of us

Unfortunately, there
was nothing to divide

Theo always blamed me for
spending his father's money

- Was that true?

- Of course, it was true

I loved beautiful things.

- Tell me, madame,

how do you mix your sleeping draught?

- Would you like me to show you?

- Yes, please

And on the night that Rose
died, what did you do then?

- Then, I put the glass back

And until Rose brought it to me,

I didn't touch it again.

- Neither did anyone else

There were no fingerprints

on the glass besides yours and Rose's?

- Are you trying to say
something very unpleasant”?

- No, any of the others
could have worn gloves

- Please, inspector, don't try
to turn me against my family

Oh, I wish someone else had
been in the house that evening

- Someone else was.

He left this.

And some footprints in the garden

He left in the dark in a hurry.

- A stranger came here to murder me?

- We don't know.

Did Rose have a lover?

- Rose?

Never, she was just a simple peasant girl,

and her room was next to mine.

- Where did Yvette
sleep on Saturday night?

- In a little bedroom downstairs.

- I see.

Are you alone in the house at night”?

- Yes, but I'm not afraid

I have the most famous detective in France

to look after to me.

- Which of my cases have you followed?

- Shall I show you my newspaper cuttings?

- Yes.

- Nowy, where could Rose have put them?

Oh, she's such a muddler, but

Oh dear, she's dead

- Yes, poor Rose is dead

Well, don't bother about the cuttings

- Inspector?

Is it safe for me to
take my sleeping draught

again this evening?

- No.

- Theo.

- Oh, Yvette, I thought you'd left

- I have to talk to you

- Not here.

- Where?

- The casino bar.

Half an hour.

- The late Ferdinand Besson.

He died from natural causes.

He ever overexpanded

- He died penniless?

- Well, what these
people called penniless

I've never seen any of them starve.

- At the casino bar in half an hour.

There's a lot of family feeling there.

(laughs)

- Do you know the barman
of the casinec bar?

- Yes, his name's Antoine

- Well get on to him

He's to pick up what he can

May I have a seat”?

Chief Inspector Maigret.

- Please sit.

- Madame?

- Anise.

- And a calvados.

I've been to see your mother

- I'm sure she created
a favourable impression

- Why are you sure?

- Everybody likes her.

- Did Rose like her?

- I know nothing about Rose

- You know she's dead.

- I'm more sorry than I
can say that Rose is dead

- Was Rose happy with your mother?

- Sometimes she sang,
sometimes she sulked.

- Did she have a lover?

- Rose?

No, I think not.

- That'll be all.

If she did have a lover,

would she have brought him
to your mother's house?

- No.

- And yet, this was found

If it isn't Rose's, is it yours?

- Do you mean is it my husband's”?

- The initial is L.

Your husband's name is Julian.

How did you come from
Paris on Saturday morning?

- By train

- You bought a return ticket?

- Naturally

- Inspector Castaing saw you
at the station here yesterday

You were buying another ticket

I forgot.

I bought only a single ticket from Paris

- It'll be easy to find out, you know

if you came by train on Saturday.

- Possibly.

- I showed this
handkerchief to your mother

- And what did she say?

- Nothing.

- That was unlike her.

- Are you in the habit of taking lovers?

- Yes.

- Tell me about this one.

- He drove me from Paris.

- Mm-hm.

- He didn't come to the house

until both Rose and my
mother had gone to bed

When he heard Rose scream, he left

- Mm-hm, his name?

- Leon Peyrot

- His address?

- Is it necessarily to see him?

- Yes.

- And my husband, you'll have to tell him?

- No.

- I love him.

You don't understand about loving

two people at the same time

- Is Leon Peyrot the only person?

- Him, no

I believe in sexual freedom.

It's what I practise, anyway

I've managed to keep it from my husband

You despise me, don't you?

- No.

- My husband admires me

That's strange, isn't it?

- And if your mother felt
it her duty te tell him,

what would you do”?

- I should prevent it

Don't be taken in by her.

She cares for no one but herself.

{jazzy music)

- Assume this to be a
scotch again, Antoine

- There was a message from your brother

He'll meet you here

- Ring him up and tell
him I've left, will you?

- He's on his way.

- I can only give you a few minutes

I shall be leaving soon

- It's a long time since we
spoke to one another alone

- Yes, and now we've
nothing to speak about

- Oh, yes we have,

We have Rose.

Can you swear she died by accident?

- I swear what's it got to do with me?

- I was here a fortnight ago

I saw you and you didn't see me

- Yes, what were you doing here,

having another night
off from your marriage?

- Antoine!

- [Yvette] You're like a rat
trying to nibble the bait

and leave the poison

- [Theo] You keep quiet about my affairs,

and I may keep quiet about yours.

- Forget it, Theo

Would you care to see me back to my hotel?

- 1 do not want to get mixed up in you

or your sordid amours.

- But you weren't too
proud to have an affair

with @ common little
peasant girl, like Rose

- It seems to be a scotch again, Antoine

- Calvados, please

Monsieur Theo Besson?

- Oh, you must be Maigret

- Sit down, please

- I've already said all I have to say

to the local police

- I think it'd better if you sit down

When did you last see Rose Trochu?

- Last Thursday or Friday, I believe.

- Mm-hm, how often did you take her out?

- Well, it's rather
difficult to say precisely,

but several times.

- You met her at your stepmother's house?

- Oh, no, no, no, she missed her bus

and I offered her a lift in my car.

She was only a very simple
peasant girl, you know,

who read too much.

She used to ask the most
ridiculous questions

about power and pride and good and evil

- Did you ever make love to her?

- Good gracious no

She used to hold my hand now and then.

- Did you ever make her drunk”

- No, but she got very easily
excited after a few drinks

I was making a little character
study of her, you see

- [Maigret] When did you fir-

- Ah, so you two have met.

Let's all have a drink on it, eh?

(snaps)

- I was about to ask you when

did you first meet her brother Henri?

- Only today.

He wanted to make a scene,

but I managed to calm him down.

- I have a theory about Rose.

Now, she was just a simple peasant girl

- I've heard that before.

- But supposing she'd stolen something?

Peasants are always hiding things

in their mattresses.

- Idiot!

- But she hadn't.

- I propose to go now,

if you have no objection?

- No, for the moment

- Nowy, inspector, what I meant was

- Garcon!

Follow Theo.

Don't lose sight of him

If he goes off in his car,

you follow him in yours

- But he'll see me.

- I don't give a damn if he sees you

Now, Monsieur Charles,
about this idea of yours,

Rose hiding things in her mattress

- Well, inspector, it's
only a theory, really.

- She sent a wreath.

I'll see that milady
doesn't get away with this!

A wreath.

(spits)

And they put all our flowers to shame

- Monsieur.

Chief Inspector Maigret,
can I have a word with you?

- Why do you come bothering us?

The other lads aren't
to be disturbed, oh nol

Whose daughter was Rose anyway”?

Mine!

- Just because we are poor,

and other people make themselves

out to be better than they are

- When I'm on a case,

rich or poor, it makes no difference

I must say your supper smells very good

- What do you want”?

- Well, how you've taken
all her things away

- We have the right!

- Quiet, Henri!

You see, monsieur, her things have already

been shared out among
the rest of the family.

- It's not the clothes I want.

Just the bits and pieces

Good?

Brew it yourself?

Mm-hm.

- A present.

- Who from?

- How should we know?

After she went to work for them,

she didn't have much to do with us.

- He swore that he never gave her-

- Oh, quiet Henril

- Who swore?

- Monsieur.

- One of the Besson family

- Theo?

- What if it was?

I can deal with him.

I don't need any help from the police!

- Get on with your work!

- He'd never hurt her.

That's what he said.

- Oh, you're easily taken

- That's what he thinks!

But he's as keen as anybody to find

out who killed Rose.

Keener than the police

who haven't done much up to now.

- If you won't even help me
over Rose's little present,

what can I do?

- The police said just covering up.

That's what Theo Besson says

{Madame Trochu bangs her cup)

- I'm tired of your precious Theo Besson!

- You're not going to show-

- Have I got to ask your permission”

Here, give it to him

Give it to him!

- Where did you find this”

In her mattress”?

- No, monsieur, she had
it hidden in her hat.

Henri, give the inspector some cider.

- I took it to the jewellers

An emerald he said it was.

Worth as much as a fishing boat.

A fishing boat!

- Fishing boat, eh?

- Now then, doctor

- Well, Rose Trochu was my patient

for approximately 18 months

- Was she a melancholy type?

- Melancholy, gay, cunning,
simple, secret, open,

warm, resentful

Nice child.

- When did she first come to?

- Well, yes, she came to my surgery

on December 4th, January 11th,

March 1st and the 8th, April 13th,

June 10th, August 3rd

- Oh, Dr. Jolly, Chief Inspector Maigret.

- Delighted

- The pleasure is mine

What was wrong with this girl?

- Visit one, anaemia.

Visit two, a rare disease of the blood

Three, she was allergic to milk

Four and five, glandular troubles.

Six, a malignant tumour

Seven, diabetes

Eight, a hormone deficiency

In short, she was extremely healthy

- Was she suicidal?

- No, she'd had very little
education, poor child

She was trying to learn
everything too fast

She used to talk to me about Freud.

Freud.

And sex.

- Sex?

- Yes, oh, she'd no use for sex

No, she was a virgin, a talkative virgin

I used to listen to her

and give her a bottle
of coloured medicine.

That always seem to cure her

until she read the next medical book.

- Excuse me, one moment, doctor

What about Theo?

- Oh, he's gone to the casino bar

He's settled in there.

- Imagine he left.

He's gotta be watched all the time.

- Yes, but I had to see the doctor

- We have to see that there
isn't another death tonight

Go and find him.

- Dr. Jolly, now, you know
Madame Besson pretty well

- Yes, I've attended her for years

- What newspapers does she read?

- Funny you should ask that

Do you know, she never
reads any newspapers at all

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

Who?

Yes, just a minute.

Phone call for you, sir

- Hello.

I see.

Right. Good

Goodbye

- That'll be 500 francs.

- Tomorrow, tomorrow, Antoine.

We shall all be rich tomorrow.

- It's getting on for temorrow now, sir

- Ah, but I've got to
think this out, you see

- Young Trochu was
locking for you earlier

- Trochu?

Now let him look.

- Sorry, we're closed

- Has Monsieur Theo Besson been in?

- Yeah, he certainly has

He had a phone call and then he left.

- Where did he go”

- Back to his hotel, I expect

That is a refuge from one's creditors

- Thanks.

{door slams)

- Where's my friend?

I've been looking for him everywhere

- Well, you needn't look here

We're closed.

- Are you trying to chuck me out?

- Not me, I've got varicose veins

- Where's Monsieur Theo Besson?

- He just went

- Which way?

- First left, second right,
cross the road, left again

He wouldn't want you to know,

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Who?

Oh, Monsieur Theo Besson

Yeah, he is

You want to speak to him?

You, Monsieur Besson for you

- Yeah?

Why, what's the point of that?

Rose told me a few things, too

Now, get that into your head

Maybe I will, maybe I won't,

- [Antoine] Oh, cut it short.

- Howr do I know if I can trust you?

(thumping)

Well, I'll ring your neck-

One of you is going to pay, I tell you

Stop that noise, will you?!

When?

All right

Who said he didn't want to see me?

I've got him just like that

- His light's still on

Maybe he's reading in bed

- Five years, since the old man died.

Why have the Besson family waited so long

before they began to murder,

and what did Theo want from Rose?

- Sex?

- Not always was sex

Rose had one thing that
Theo could never have.

A chance to watch the
old lady day and night.

Is this the only exit from this hotel?

- We have one to the garage

- Cet there, see If his car's gone

What time does Monsieur Theo Besson

usually go to bed

- About now.

He has his sedatives.

They're always scotch.

(laughs)

- Call his room. see if he's still there

Movel

- His car is gone!

- Gone?!

Get your car, Castaing

(dramatic music)

{clock bell chiming)

{car drives up)

- Who's there?

Who?

{gun fires)

(dramatic music)

Oh.

- The bullet would have to
go and penetrate the aorta

- The poor boy.

What have I done?!

- You've killed him.

- I was so afraid.

I turned off the lights

I called to him.

He didn't answer.

- You thought he was a burglar.

- No, I thought it was the
murderer coming to kill me

He came right into the room

- Now, don't blame yourself.

You acted with great courage.

Now, I'm going to give
you a little sedative

- No.

- Won't you persuade her?

The aorta, pity

- How could I have done it?

- You did it with a gun

But why?!

- He was breaking inte the house

I was alone.

Surely, I had a right ta shoot him

- You had a legal right to shoot him

- We met in the garden.

- I heard a shot.

- Telephone the hotel.

The daughter's to come here right away.

In her bare feet if necessary

And the brother, too

Post your men outside this window.

- Glass of my

A glass of my calvados
might settle our nerves

- Did you know she had a gun?

- I don't remember if she had.

- Two people are killed

and you don't remember!

- I knew she'd kept my father's gun

- Did you bring Henri Trochu here tonight?

Did you?!

- Yes.

- Why did you bring him?

Why?!

- Inspector, is that legal?

Later Monsieur Besson.

Show me Rose's bedroom again.

- One would think that
I committed a crime.

You'd have scotch in any civilised house

What are you looking at me like that for?

You trying to read my thoughts?

- I was just wondering if
the drink was poisoned

- That's my room, inspector.

- Has anything been changed in here?

- Yes, everything.

Everything's been made
fresh and clean again

- Has the furniture been moved?

So, that's why the furniture was moved

- A rough little window,

but Rose is able to
watch you day and night

Go to your own room, please

Gol

Stop there!

Now, one pace back!

Turn around and face the dressing table!

Open the top drawer!

Open it

Take out your jewel case.

Show me what Rose saw.

Cultured pearls?

Paste?

A secret fortune that you
played with in secret,

and when Rose found out...

- Well, are you satisfied now?

- I suppose you think I killed her.

- No, you get other
people to take the risks,

so that you can get your
sordid little inheritance.

Get back among your
wrinkled, old duchesses.

What are you doing?

- Just thinking on paper

- Hows did you know that
she'd kept the real jewels?

Answer me or I'll take you where

you can lean how to answer!

- My father spent a fortune on her

My fortune

She said the jewels had been
sold to pay off the debts

The diamonds never came
off into the market

- And you got to work on that girl

Taught her to spy

Taught her to steal

- No, she took the emerald
herself to show me.

When I saw it, I knew
what she said was true.

I was going to a lawyer.

- But Rose died too soon.

This old miser here killed her.

- 1?

- Yes, a miser can't
afford to share her secret.

- If I'd killed her, would
I have brought you here”?

- You knevr your precious
Charles would send for me

$0 you came in on the act
with a newspaper cuttings

you'd never read

A very bad mistake

She ask you to come here tonight”

Why were you frightened to come?

- After Rose, anything
might have happened?

- Yes, so you brought Henri

You sent him in first!

- A simple precaution I had made-

- Get down before I knock you down!

- I shot a burglar

What else?

I didn't pour arsenic down Rose's throat

- Inspector.

- My poor child, what will you do

when your husband learns that
even here you had a lover?

- I've seen her have a row with Rose

for getting at the medicine

She knew Rose would finish
any sleeping draught she left

Rose always did

You put the arsenic in
your own sleeping draught

- Madame Besson, I have to charge you

with the murder of Rose Trochu.

- I got your message

I'm late, I'm sorry

A terrible thing has happened

My mother-in-law has died.

- What are you worried about,

she owned half of Dieppe, didn't she?

- But that's just it, now I'm responsible

It really is too much

What's been going on here”

- Rose's brother has been killed.

Oh, don't worry, I will
pay for the funeral

- We'll go this way, madame

- Charles. dear, would
you bring me my cape?

It's a little chilly don't
you think for an old lady

{soft guitar music)

(waves crashing)

- Poor Rose.

It's too easy to poison a girl

who has a taste for
other people's medicine
