All language subtitles for Maigret - Bruno Cremer - 17 - Maigret et la vente à la bougie1

39.5.

You were asleep, huh?

I'll be home tomorrow night
when the fever has subsided.

I'm not done with Fred either.

They are worst when they repent.

No, a broth. That's all.

Then I fell asleep.
The fever woke me up.

Of course. Nothing happens in such a hole, right?

Everyone is asleep.

I'll call you again tomorrow.

- Did I hear screaming?
- Down.

I just slept. I thought I was dreaming.

- Did you hear that?
- Wasn't that you, Fred?

Why should I scream?

What was that screaming?

- What are you doing here?
- I forgot my bag.

And Borchain?

Mr. Borchain?

- We should call the police.
- It is already there.

True?

Someone has come from outside.

Who said that?

Beautiful. Go back to your rooms
and try to sleep again.

I'm going to take care of the formalities.

Here.

I didn't sleep a wink.
Borchain has slept the deepest.

Give me some warm water
with a little rum.

But not as strong as yesterday.

The window is broken, but the shutters are intact.

Search among the things of the dead person.
Something must be missing.

The dog does not bark,
if someone comes in at night?

Of course it is,
unless it is known.

- He's been deaf for ten years.
- On one ear, but he smells everything.

I just don't have such a good nose
but I hear everything.

You are not asked.

ThÈrËse, where are my sandwiches?

If the bastard has come from outside,
he doesn't bark.

Even though there was a hunting mob inside.

Better pay Juliette.
You too Groult.

- Can we eat first?
- Yes.

- Dangerous dog, you know.
- He's known the doctor for ten years.

Poor Borchain died instantly.
I request a section.

- Shall I look at you right away?
- Just hold on.

Have the knife examined and come back
with prints, Claudel.

When it's out of the kitchen
everyone's print is on it.

That's why everyone stays.

Fred, your wife, ThÈrËse ...

old Nicolas, Groult, Canut ...

and Mr. Gentil.

Nobody goes out.

I'm at customs and on duty.
And I don't live here.

You come in the evening
and report in the morning.

Otherwise, these gentlemen will get you.
- We are on the outside.

- We're here for the house auction.
- It's being postponed.

- Until?
- I do not know.

Can I watch you right now?
I'm late.

Two men posts at the door
and no one is allowed out.

- It rains.
- Do they sometimes rust?

- Is there a volunteer?
- I am asthmatic.

That's annoying.

Doctor, isn't it that rainwater
is fine for the respiratory tract?

- Completely correct.
- Consider it a cure.

- Have you heard everything, Mrs. Juliette?
- Yes.

I'm ready, doctor.

- I have to stock up.
- Have it delivered today.

Borchain was the richest farmer
from the area.

To breathe.

He wanted to buy the whole village.
He dreamed of the house of Holy Water.

Holy water?

Mother Roussel was always in church.

Why do they all want that house?

Because of the treasure.

Which treasure?

The Americans would join her
have hidden a treasure ...

at the end of the war.
Now that she's dead, they prey on that.

- And does that treasure really exist?
- Well ...

She must have made it up for value
of her house.

- Who inherits?
- The state.

She has neither a child nor a crow.

- The money goes to the municipality.
- Then why did she do it?

She was out of her mind
and a bit quirky.

Good morning and evening
ten drops.

- And tomorrow you will get suppositories.
- Oh no.

- And ThÈrËse?
- She's a sweet, pretty girl.

- I listened to it once.
- What is her dream?

She wants to get out of here, but she has no money.
So she works for Fred.

- But Fred ...
- I know that one. I'm here for him.

- Did he do something stupid again?
- Not him.

Are Parisian friends.

- And his wife?
- Juliette?

Juliette has many
turned his head.

She fell for one of the American
people in hiding at Wijwatertje.

A colonel. But they are all together
walked on a mine.

She continued the family hotel and got married
Fred, who would break with the past.

But the American has never forgotten them.

Within.

- Can I talk to you for a second?
- See you later.

Take your temperature and call
if it is higher.

And try to stay in bed.

- Sit down.
- Borchain lost his wallet.

- Is that all?
- Yes.

He was full of money,
because he came to buy.

Why is everyone staying here?

Because they live too far away.
An auction does not wait.

They don't want to miss it.

- Because of the treasure.
- So you already know.

Inquire in the village
what they did yesterday ...

and who they saw. Pull up
all alibis from around midnight after.

- And the corpse?
- I'll keep that for a while.

Tell the guard no one
leaves the house without my permission.

Can I use Montmartre 2232?

Mrs. Maigret?

Everything is OK.
Yes, the doctor has been.

No, I don't smoke.

I don't even know where he is.

No, I'm not going out the door.
Nobody goes out.

ThÈrËse.

It's 9 o'clock, hurry up a bit.

And don't make such a noise.

Juliette, leave her alone.
- I wish you would leave her alone too.

What do you mean?

I know what I'm saying.

I'm going to visit Maigret. Don't argue,
we have enough shit like this.

So, are we going to bribe the police?

Come in, Fred.

Don't take too much rum.
It doesn't make you fitter.

Wouldn't you prefer a little pineau?

That would be unwise.

- I'm not telling anyone you're a cop.
- Commissioner.

- Borchain has given me a trick.
- It's the worst for him.

I don't have an impeccable past.
It's like I'm falling back into it.

Money keeps pulling, poor Fred.

I have nothing more with the penis
since I've been with Juliette.

I want to believe you.
Then tell me about those Poles.

I'm not a snitch.

I do not participate in that.

Then let me sleep
and close the shutters.

It's Kieslowski with the gang
from Les Ternes.

And further?

No I would despise myself
if I continued.

Then tell something about Juliette.

- What do you want me to say?
- How you met her.

- I came here in '46, with the resistance.
- Fred, please.

- Just after, with the Americans.
- After the departure of the Americans.

You went into hiding because you were in the war
was a black merchant.

That is very exaggerated, Commissioner.
I made ends meet.

Juliette was mourning her colonel.
- He walked on a mine.

And you ran into Juliette?

That's how you can summarize it.
But it does the feelings short.

- I thought that was for me.
- Would you like to?

There is a glass in the toilet.

That colonel would
went to Florida.

With her.

She never went further
than La Rochelle.

Behind it you get the sea
and beyond Florida.

Shall I tell you something, Commissioner?

Juliette recalls
that American no longer.

- And the treasure?
- What treasure?

That of Holy Water.

That's all bullshit.

That crazy person was talking about a suitcase.
Nobody knows anything about it.

But everyone has doubts.

Weren't you attracted by the money?

I said I quit.

An alcoholic who has stopped drinking,
clogs the bottle.

A crook who no longer commits robbery,
hid his barker.

Happiness is nothing more than bad luck
that slumbers.

Get everyone together downstairs at noon.
We're having a reconstruction.

Does that make sense?

What do you think of the broken window
at Borchain?

Amateur work.

The window is broken from the inside.
Otherwise there would be debris by the window.

Amateurs.

I think so too, Fred.

Call all amateurs m / f
at noon.

At least I was here.

Over there. You sat alone opposite us.

No. I would be a customs officer
never turn my back.

You were completely fed up.

But I have a good memory.

I was sitting here and Groult to my left.

We sat across from you and stood there
all your empty bottles.

- And Borchain was sitting here, next to you.
- Calm. And it's our empty bottles.

The bottles were here.
You were completely drunk.

I said that. Those two were sitting across from me.
And Borchain sat at the end of the table.

Everyone just does everything they do
yesterday did. Nothing to worry about.

Everything?

Don't you have anything to do in your kitchen?

I'm sure I wasn't sitting here.

Oldies are never listened to.

And he?

- He sleeps.
- We're not bringing Borchain in, are we?

Were you playing cards?

- One franc per point.
- Two right?

- Who gave first?
- Canut.

Could be, yes.

I'm sure because he started with me.

- No, you give clockwise.
- Exactly. And how does your watch run?

Just like yours.

I was sitting here.

Give it, Canut.

- These cards weren't.
- Does not matter.

- I pass.
- Me too.

I take shovels.

And then I interrupted the game, didn't I?

I asked Fred ... Where is Fred?

Here I am.

Tell me, Fred. What did I ask you yesterday
during the first game?

How such an auction with candles went.

Explain it.

- Should I do it again?
- Do it again.

You take three household candles.

You light it. They burn at the same time.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer goes
bidding.

By the first candle to go out
the last bidder receives the lot.

And if I blow?

- That doesn't count.
- Even drafts count.

If you wait for all three candles
you have nothing.

How would you do it?

You light one candle in the morning
and offers ten minutes before it runs out.

Not at all.

- We'll see with the house. Who cares?
- You. We deal with this.

- You don't agree very much, do you?
- All those young people, empty-headed.

Is it one or two francs per point?

I do not care. But after this I stop.

Then I will lose this at the most.

- What did you say when you saw that?
- Nothing.

Are you sure?

Nicolas asked:How much is in it,
at least 300,000?

200,000

- And you asked if Borchain wanted to go high.
- Not high, far.

And Canut said sleep well with all that money
because it is not safe here.

I did not say that.

I now take 's by diamonds.

I pass.

Didn't tell anyone
how a candle auction really works?

Three candles become one by one
lit when the lot is discussed.

When the last one is running out,
there is a lot of bidding.

The flame is carefully monitored
and waited until the last to bid.

Who feels it best,
is going to iron it.

And as always the one goes
with the most money making off with it.

As always.

Not tonight, huh. There are police.
Later, when everything is arranged.

Hold on.
I have a hand full of trump cards.

Trump, Trump, and more Trump.

Here with the poet. You are bankrupt.

Then I got up and asked
ThÈrËse at the bar for a grog.

Yes, you said, I have a fever, I'm going to bed.

I said I can feel the fever rising
I am going to bed.

I took a grog
and went upstairs.

What happened after that?

Come on, pretend I'm not there.

We blew out the candles
and have continued. Should I give?

You left one candle on and said
that the jar was out when it went out.

I remember
like yesterday.

- It was yesterday.
- And further?

We played on.

- How many laps?
- About ten.

- Borchain fit in and went to bed.
- Then take it away.

- Then do that.
- Why me?

Because you are asked.
He really doesn't call out anymore.

- The three of you went on?
- Yes, it was still early.

- What time?
- Just 11 o'clock.

We asked Gentil fourth.

Go ahead.

I said:But I don't play for money.

Then you don't really play.

I had to give immediately.

And we played on.

- I was the fourth man.
- How many rounds until the candle went out?

- Three first.
- I thought four.

- Three. Gentil left, he was tired.
- And without money there is no play.

- What time?
- A quarter past eleven, not later.

Juliette and I went to our room
gone when Gentil left.

Then do that.

- You said something to ThÈrËse.
- Yes:ThÈrËse, tidy up later and close.

Call her when you're done.

You weren't there anymore.

Did you continue playing with three men?

- How many laps?
- Five or six. Nicolas won.

And how. I spanked you.

He took a piss and said:
I'll finish you even further.

And how.

Run, Nicolas.

Now I have no urge, but yesterday ...

- He stayed away for at least ten minutes.
- Makes sense after all that booze.

- And when you came back?
- Then the candle went out.

- Just as he sat down.
- And then we went to bed, huh?

- We called ThÈrËse and went upstairs.
- What time?

Around midnight.

- We didn't wake you up, did we?
- No, I was not sleeping.

Well, go ahead.

ThÈrËse, we're going upstairs.

And, ThérËse,
what did you do yesterday?

And after that?

What rain, huh.

- Yesterday or today?
- Both.

And?

Don't tell Fred
then I will be fired.

I said I forgot my bag.

Did you go over there right away?

Then do that.

Don't be embarrassed.

- We have a search warrant.
- Whose?

- Maigret.
- I'm going to see him.

He said that already.

I have nothing to hide.

What are you looking for? If I had killed it
I wouldn't hide anything in my room.

If you knew how many fools
killers can lash out.

Sit down.

Because I am suspected?

Can I have your identity card?

You will get it back later.

Tell us why you are interested
are in that house.

It's not about that house, though
for the land bordering my pasture.

I live 20 km away. Then the cattle can go there
stay in the stable and graze. I save time.

And time is money.
- Indeed.

- How many cattle do you have?
- It's for ten beasts.

Isn't that a bit expensive
for ten beasts?

Depends.
I hadn't gone that far.

How far?

80,000, no further.

Did you get along with Borchain?

Fine. Well, our families
haven't spoken to each other for years.

He wanted to buy up everything, but hey ...

He also had land that bordered
at the yard of Wijwatertje.

If he bought, I would have my land
to sell to him.

Who would have wanted to kill him?

I do not know.

Not me, anyway.

Canut?

Neither canut. He's family.

He's had a little dispute with him.

Borchain had bought two boats. He
was some kind of competitor. But to ...

- Do you have that 80,000 francs in your pocket?
- Yes. At an auction you pay in cash.

- How much did Borchain have?
- I do not know. Lake.

- Two, three hundred thousand.
- So you would lose?

You never know that with him.

He could suddenly be stingy and the candle
can go out at the right time.

Oh yes, that's true.

The candle.

Can I go?

Come in, customs officer.

Can I have your identity card?

Tell 's about ThÈrËse.

ThÈrËse is everything to me.

I love her.
I think it's real love.

I'll wait until the evening to get her up
Search. Don't tell Fred, he's ...

- Very jealous?
- He's looking after her like it's his daughter.

When I say I want her as a woman
he'll do anything to get me out.

A customs officer does not earn well.

Only by a miracle can I succeed
to get ThÈrËse out of here.

Borchain was there, right?

Borchain had never given me anything.
We hardly spoke to each other.

We almost caught him for it
illegal fertilizer import from the Netherlands.

Then you are not going to ask him for money.

I was not talking about 'questions'.

- Do you think I could have done such a thing?
- I don't think anything.

The house interests
van Wijwatertje not you?

Absolutely not. I have a duty residence
and I have no money.

Who had it on Borchain
could have targeted?

I do not know.

Must be someone from the outside.

The reconstruction showed that each
of us would have been seen by the others.

That's true.

How long have you waited in the rain
on the sign of ThÈrËse?

An hour.

Were you wet?

I've been hiding.

Has anyone seen you
or have you seen someone?

With that weather?

Don't forget to drop by here
before and after work.

I am not a murderer.

Landru said that too.

I have a passion for old stones ...

but I wanted the house
as a pilot for my boats.

At 20 km from the sea, that seems ideal.

I could paint my boats there.

There is nothing left for sale on the coast.

- And you don't find treasure everywhere.
That's bullshit.

- I do not know.
- I'm telling you that.

Holy water was crazy.

How far had you gone for that shed?

Up to 80,000, that's all.
I'm on high burdens and fishing is ...

Kind of hit and miss.

Yes, exactly, uncertain.

Who did not like Borchain, do you think?

Everybody.

Even Nicolas was in debt to him.

- For how much?
- 20,000.

Everyone got money from him
but he drinks ...

and never remembers anything.

I can even give you the dates of birth of all
residents of Pont du Grau tell.

Never mind.

Why don't you have an identity card?

I don't know where I lost it anymore
hit. But I'm 75 now ...

and can assure you that it is really me.

38.5.

My grandmother said:
Below 39 is not a fever, but an increase.

Can you see that it still works upstairs?

Who would you suspect?

That is none of my business.

I do remember ...

that the Groults, the Canuts,
and the Borchains in 1933 already ...

at the first communion of the children
of Borchain came to blows.

They were like the Montague families
and Copu ...

- Capulet.
- I wanted to say that.

Do you know why? About a piece of land
by the river that is sometimes under water.

You can't do anything with it. I can take you there
with my eyes closed.

Never mind.

- And what about that?
- Nothing.

I just want to say
that they are not friends.

- I have no memory? Stop.
- Did you owe Borchain money?

Not a single cent.
I pay for everything I drink immediately.

What is it that draws you into that house?

I was a notary for 50 years.

I have a nose for good things.

In our profession you are never quite
retired.

When I buy, I sell again.
I live on that.

With us it is often already on the fifteenth
end of the month.

- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

Do you think it's Groult?

It's Fred. He used to be a villain
and has plucked Juliette for seven years.

- He wanted to run off with the girl.
- And?

To run off with ThÈrËse,
do you need money.

And Borchain had money.

He had that here.

I said:Don't keep that much money in your pocket.
That is careless.

Wise advice.

Is it true that you were in love?
on an American?

Who told you that?

He wanted to take me to Florida.

And then there was that mine.
They all died.

I've never really forgotten it.

And then came Fred.

Fred went into hiding here.

It was like a skinny skittish cat.

Always on the alert.

But I started to feel something for him.

Thanks to him I could forget.

- Did you tell him about the treasure?
- There has never been a treasure.

- Did you tell him that?
- Of course.

Holy water made that up.
She was nuts.

I'm not so sure about that.

- How do you get to that?
- That's a feeling.

- She told me the place.
- True?

In the basement, next to a well
which resembles a holy water conch.

Two stones are missing in the wall.
It's a niche.

- Did you go there?
- No.

He does not exist.
She was crazy.

And ThÈrËse?

- What do you mean?
- Fred doesn't see anything in her?

Not really.

The poor child does not have a cent.

Should she make Fred's head crazy?
He is always after money.

Yes that is true.

The poor kid.

- Can I have a look?
- Go ahead.

- Where is he?
- We are Borchains' daughters.

Would you like to see your father? Are you coming.

- No.
- She's very emotional.

- We loved him very much, so ...
- Then what do you want?

- Get his stuff.
- About the memories.

- What's he wearing?
- His pajamas. He was sleeping.

- Did he bring his black jacket too?
- With all those bags?

- Right, yes.
- And he had a suitcase with him.

- And his watch and the silver pocket knife?
- And the crystal bottle?

I understand you are sad
and I sympathize with you.

Fred, get Borchain's stuff
and bring them here.

I'm not going to search in his pajamas.

That is not necessary.

ThÈrËse, can I have coffee? Not that strong.

- Go ahead.
- No you.

- Strange that that happened here, huh?
- What does she mean?

She means that her father
dealt with villains.

Here are his belongings.

- Here's the pocket knife.
- The watch.

It stands still.

- And the crystal bottle?
- Where's the wallet?

- Away.
- What do you mean?

Maybe that's why he was killed.
- Probably not. For 300,000 francs?

- Then you hit him on the head.
- I'll tell the killer.

- There has been stolen.
- We file a report.

- It's our money.
- There were pictures in it.

- From us when we were little.
- You must have been very cute.

- Ready, ladies?
- Yes, here, but you will hear from us.

Go dry your tears at home.

No, everything has to stay here.

You are not done with us yet.

- You shall hear from us.
- Poor Dad.

I will keep you informed of the investigation.
I'm not going out.

A customer at the pump.

Half full, as usual, René?

Shall I put it in the kitchen?

Is it true what they say?
Borchain was murdered?

His daughters are rich now.
They can finally get married.

What do you mean?

- There are rumors.
- Tell.

They would order the murder
have given.

The killer liked the wallet
keep as payment.

And what is the motive?

The inheritance.

Are you upset?

- That's a serious accusation.
- Especially in the presence of the Commissioner.

I'm sorry, chief.
I couldn't have known that.

I'm going.

Juliette, pay him.
Save four francs for the gasoline.

Paris for you. Shall I put it upstairs?

- Is he really a commissioner?
- As real as it gets.

No, it's good that you called.

38.2. It is already getting less.

No, a minor complication with Fred.

It's nothing, village feuds.

Janvier called?

I'll call him back.

Call off the Pardons,
that seems better.

No, tomorrow night at the latest.

Quiet, it is the redemption.

- I'm not sorry.
- It just won't go away.

No sensible person leaves the house.

Four marc, Fred. They are soaked.

- It's like you're here in the tropics.
- Without the sun.

If you say so.

- Is there any blanquette?
- It's gone.

- I have one serving left.
- From who?

- I do not need.
- What do you eat then?

- Let her. She wants to lose weight.
- I'll bring your plate.

Fine. ThÈrËse understands her profession.

Any news?

Yes. The seals of the house
that is being auctioned are broken.

Just before the crime
the notary had checked them.

- Is something missing?
- As far as known, not yet.

Don't forget the basement.
Do you suspect someone?

Everybody. Nobody lets go of anything in this hole
only gossip.

- And Borchain's daughters?
- They have each other as an alibi.

They played tarok.

Did you notice that half the village map,
if someone is murdered?

That's true. Strange.

- What do they say?
- I do not know.

Question the three sisters separately.

And look further in the house of Wijwatertje.
You never know.

- Are you thinking about that treasure?
- Do you believe in it?

No more than in the beast of Gèvaudan.
It provides food for conversation, nothing more.

Come on, I'm going.

Till tomorrow morning.

We go.

I hope it is not too hot
for sir.

Do you think I can leave like this?
I am on duty.

There is no room left, is there?
Everything is full.

- Maybe you can arrange something?
- Nothing is arranged here.

Now that everyone is going to bed
I feel the temperature rise.

Stop.

- Someone was there.
- Juliette?

- No, the commissioner.
- Damn. Has he seen us?

- Or he has to sleepwalk.
- You go first and go to sleep.

Goodnight.

Couldn't you get to sleep, Fred?

It's not what you think.

- What am I thinking?
- Get her.

- Otherwise it has been played very well.
- I'm not being vulgar.

You're right.

In the wine cellar, against a barrel,
and the pants down. Class.

- Can I get you something?
Same as you, without milk.

A rum.

I love Juliette,
but our life is unimaginative.

Do not complain.
You have a good hiding place ...

and a sensible woman,
that lets your past rest.

- The past is over.
- Nice flower to have sex with.

- I respect her.
- That is the least.

- Let it stay with us.
- You can talk about that.

I'm here for information.

Hell yes.

I'm not doing anything wrong here.
Nothing ever happens in this hole.

Do you know what that means to me
for someone like me?

- What now?
- Is it for me or for you?

- For you. I am retired.
- The Pole is not retired otherwise.

Would you be in such an extreme situation
don't talk to me?

Then we forget ThÈrËse immediately.
Tell me about the Les Ternes gang.

You got Stan,
his brother, Riboti, the lawyer ...

and Jacquet, the robber.

I forgot the others.

Shut up.

What is happening?

Away with that,
those shots come from outside.

What are you still standing here?
Go after that killer.

Yes right?

Hey Fred, I'm giving the orders here.

Excuse me, chief.

- What are you doing?
- We've been shot.

- They're shooting us.
- That was hail.

The killer takes it off
and we are locked up.

Which is crazy. You can't get at such a distance.

- At what distance?
- Just, with a gun.

- What did I say again?
- Too much or too little.

- I don't know more than you. I slept.
- Then why are you talking about distance?

I know the bang of hail
and the police are at the door.

Then you have to shoot from far.
Am I clear?

Very clear.

That's from Borchains' room.

We all go down.

- Nobody in sight.
- Why nobody?

- Except Borchain, of course.
- What about that scream?

- Where's Nicolas?
- In his room, I think.

He always hears everything.

- And?
- Fred, call the doctor.

What is it?

- Nicolas is dead.
- Is he dead?

- How did that happen?
- Ask him.

Not from a gunshot.
Only the window is broken by the hail.

May I Dr. Breton,
it is very urgent.

Two dead in two nights. Superstitious?

- You scare me.
- I'm leaving.

- None of that.
- Then we're going to die.

- Perhaps.
- But it comes from outside.

She is right.
Wouldn't you look outside?

I can't go outside. I have the flu.

Doctor Breton? With Fred.

More calamity.

Old Nicolas.
No, not with a knife, with a gun.

You will hear the whole story.

The doctor will be here in half an hour.

Why did everyone run
to Borchain's room?

- That's where that scream came from.
- Miss, it was Nicolas.

- You would swear ...
- You should never swear.

Fred, go to Nicolas' room,
close the door and shout.

I have never done that
with a dead one.

Once must be the first time.

Sometimes life is tough.

Unbelieveable.

- Do you get it?
- Nicolas is out of the pipe. And further?

Strange acoustics here in the house, isn't it?

What do you mean?

I could barely see it
but it does something to you.

Borchain's scream
yesterday evening...

maybe came from above,
from Nicolas's room.

What do you want to say with that?

That your alibis no longer represent anything.

Borchain can get that scream
have been dead.

That is not possible.

That is possible.
We start all over again.

I do not get it anymore.

Doesn't matter, I get it.

One thing bothers me.

I'm curious,
but that is a professional deformation.

Three men played when Gentil left.

That is allowed, right?

I don't see anything noted of that game.

- That is normal.
- How so?

Gentil was not about money.
Then we paid per game.

- And the point broke off at Nicolas.
- Nobody got up?

Sit down.

- Nobody?
- Wait.

Borchain had to go to the toilet.
Nicolas.

- Nicolas went to piss.
- He said that.

- We thought it took a long time, didn't we?
- Yes.

He had a lot.

- He was gone five minutes.
- Ten minutes.

Could you see the toilet door?

We have not been paying attention.

- Did he act normal when he got back?
- Maybe he was a little quieter.

- Was he shaking?
- No. He wanted to go to bed.

- He wasn't quite the same.
- No.

And the candle went out.

That might suit him.

Heart attack. He's cramped.
He was terrified.

- Because of those shots.
- But he has no gunshot wounds.

We ask for a section.
To see if he has taken anything.

- And?
- Nothing.

Death certificate, section,
the whole rata plan.

- What did he die of?
- Out of fear. Almost a perfect crime.

- And how are you?
- Not bad. I just got over 38.

- We haven't seen anything.
- Eyes open, huh?

Both. Well, see you tomorrow.

Just go to bed.
Nobody has anything to do here anymore.

A kind of psychosis develops.

Can you give me a precise description
of psychosis?

I am going upstairs.

I'm going to bed as well.

You can go to sleep, ThÈrËse.

What is it?

- I have to tell you something.
- I'm listening.

I actually have to show you something.

Who is sure about Borchain?

Empty.

Not good for you.

I got it in the basement by accident
found it.

What did she find in the basement?

I have something to say to you too.

A glass of rum for the memory
freshen up?

Gladly.

I've broken the Seals.

Is that all?

- I went to get the suitcase.
- Which suitcase?

The treasure.

- And did you find it?
- Of course.

Who told you?

Holy water. She considered me
as her daughter.

She said to me:When I'm gone
is the treasure for you.

Why not be him sooner
go pick up?

Because he was safer there than here.

There are a few people here that I meet
would not entrust my wallet.

- Do you want to know what that treasure consists of?
- Gladly.

It will be a disappointment to those
who kill each other in front of that house.

From plates.

Plates?

Jazz.

- Graine Miller.
- Glenn Miller.

Also fine. And there are more.

With such trumpets.

- Borchain died in vain.
- Why do you say that?

Because he had the most money.

He had gotten the house,
the treasure and the plates.

But who wanted to kill him?

I do not know.

She maybe.

- I just hid the wallet.
- What were you doing in the basement?

- To clean.
- Clean Fred for sure. With that.

Even if you let your pants down
he's not taking you to America.

- He's just nice to me.
- Not your customs officer?

Are you stupid or are you a slut?

Don't get into each other's hair.

Ladies, what are those manners?

There are two deaths here.

- I do not want to see you anymore.
- Fred is the boss.

Quiet.

We're so good
with the three of us?

She is crazy.

Calm down. Go to your room, it's over.

They're a little tense, Chief.
It will be the thunderstorm.

That music should be very sweet
votes, right?

That is the question. I am going to bed,
the climate is wearing me down.

We also. Come on, dear,
we're going back to bed.

No time for old chimeras.

- I don't want to see that bitch here anymore.
- Don't swear immediately.

Better turn off the music.

Commissioner, I have to tell you something.

On the night the crime became
committed, I blown out the candle.

They didn't wait for him to go out
before going to bed.

- The auction has been postponed until tomorrow.
- That's right, I asked.

- Coffee, a sandwich?
- Coffee.

- Can you make up the bill?
- You're my guest.

That is not possible.

That would be bribery.

- Are you leaving?
- My train leaves at 1:15 PM.

What about that crime?

Oh, noon is everything
known for a long time.

It's raining again.
What a shitty weather.

What are we doing with Borchain and Nicolas?
Everyone will know soon.

I will never lose those two rooms.

It's a lost season.

Especially for them.

- Nicolas has family?
- Nobody.

Only then did he grow old, he said.

That is completely true.

Because once he's in company
is located ...

- Did you sleep well, gentlemen?
- Like a rose.

I thought about poor Nicolas.

Quiet.

Just put it there.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Sit down, Claudel.

- ThÈrËse, coffee for the inspector.
- With milk.

Do you have everything?

- We just didn't search the hotel.
- Go ahead. You will not find weapons.

- Right, Maigret?
- Knives, though.

I need the sausage sometimes
cut with a ladle?

What a weather. I'm soaking wet.

ThÈrËse, coffee, please.

- Nicolas is dead.
- He's had a heart attack.

Poor guy.

I liked that Nicolas.

- And Maigret is feeling better?
- Excellent, in fact.

He has almost no raise.

- What are all those weapons doing here?
- They are all from Pont du Grau.

I'm looking for the weapon with which
shot at the hotel.

- And did you find it?
- Yes.

- That weapon that's separate?
- Yes.

Of course you know who owns it?

It says customs on the label.

I was beside myself.
I did it for love.

I didn't realize that for a while.

I wanted to protect ThÈrËse
and avoid being suspected.

From what?

- From theft.
- Or murder.

She's a nice girl. Integrity and faithfulness.

- You can see that immediately.
- She deserves a better life.

Why did you shoot at the window
from the first floor?

That was accidental.

- Nicolas did die from it.
- no?

Indirect, yes.

I wanted to scare you
run off with ThÈrËse.

Money is needed for that.
And you don't.

Did you know that ThÈrËse's wallet
of Borchain?

She has a lot to do and she's got it
found when she was busy.

Busy, that's a good phrase.

- Do what we planned to do.
- Okay.

Take them with you.

Is Gentil your real name?

Marcel, don't you shut up
from the stupid?

How so?

You know that your dear ThÈrËse
and her dear boss mess around together?

Did you shoot him?

Not really. I just wanted to scare him.
I wish they would stop.

You scared me
and it got Nicolas's death.

Go have breakfast.

We'll arrange that later.

What do we do now?

I want warm milk.

We fixed a detail:
the death of Nicolas.

Now solve the rest.
We have until noon.

I can no longer have my wife alone
do the work on the farm.

- I'm going, Chief.
- No way.

How long will that joke last?
I have my job.

If I don't sell fish
I have nothing to eat.

There is a lot of competition.

When I'm not in the market
they go to another.

- When is there a market?
- Now.

Bad luck. Unforeseen circumstances.

I don't fall for that. Sometimes we have to
wait until you have no more flu?

I don't have the flu anymore.
I just have some elevation.

And the auction?
Procrastination attracts the curious.

Others may come up
who are richer than us.

- Borchains?
- Don't talk about the dead.

Sit down.

The house will interest you less now.

- How so?
- Because of the treasure, of course.

- What about that treasure?
- It no longer exists.

- What do you know about that?
- He was found.

Juliette, let them hear about the treasure.

What have you done?
You're not listening to me, are you?

If she cheated on me, I'll kill her.

Musically, Canut?
Is this worth 80,000 francs?

- This is a joke?
- A good one. From an American colonel.

In the trunk this hole was full of,
there were 50 such plates.

- Did you know?
- No.

You don't lie to honorable ones
people? Not to me, huh?

I never believed in that gold treasure.

I want the house around the land and the barns.

If the price drops because of that music, fine.

And dear nephew wants those boats
lost in his garden?

I didn't want to offer too much
and did not believe in that treasure.

- Where was that suitcase hidden?
- In the basement, under the coals.

Then there is more. I don't care.
I never believed in it.

What do we do now?

A game of cards.

- Fred, the cards.
- Again?

- At 8 in the morning?
- You know the law.

Questioning, reconstructing, repeating.

Endless interrogation and reconstruction.

A new element and you start
from the beginning.

I take Nicolas's place.

Who cares?

I give.

Nicolas gave anyway
after Borchain left?

A traitor!

How many times has been given
before Nicolas went to the toilet?

We take the old scoring.
It remained after the crime.

How many times?

- Twice, three times.
- That's ten, twelve minutes, so?

At most.

Didn't you see anyone passing by?

Someone who goes to the room
from Borchain?

Fred? His room is opposite.

That also applies to Juliette, by the way.

And ThÈrËse? She's as light as a feather
you don't hear them.

Have you not passed ThÈrËse
see come?

And Mr. Gentil?

Gentil wasn't far away, was it?

- Didn't you see anyone passing by?
- I didn't notice anything.

- And you?
- I can't tell you.

When I card, I never look up.

Fine. We go on.

I am Nicolas.

All of a sudden I need to.

Are you not taking?

- Closed.
- That's right, the key is hanging on the nail.

Next to the power line.

No key.

Who was here after the murder?

Juliette and I have our own toilet.
That is our only luxury.

I'm going to the place.

We go in the hallway, on the first,
next to our room.

Like me.

I'm not taking. I pass.

I pass.

Me too.

- But Nicolas went to the bathroom there?
- Absolutely.

- Did he accidentally have the key in his pocket?
- Probably.

- He acts strange sometimes.
- Can't you hold it against him. He's old.

Who will charge him anything, except Gentil?

Only you cannot go to the toilet downstairs.

That is not much of a problem.
Just take the key out of his pocket.

Right.

Not me. I've already called.

Not you, nobody.

That is the key.

Incident closed.

Do you know where I get that key
have found?

In Borchain's pocket.

- The pocket of his pajama jacket.
- From Borchain?

- What does that mean?
- That Borchain was scattered.

He put the key in his pocket.

And Nicolas?

Nicolas. That is the problem.

There are three possibilities:Whether he took it
the key from Borchain's pocket ...

and then put it back in.

- Or?
- Or he crawled under the door.

What exactly did you see?

- Do you remember?
- We haven't seen everything.

But did Nicolas go to the toilet?

Didn't you see Borchain go?

- Yes that's right.
- Maybe.

Before or after Nicolas? Think carefully.

- Before.
- Sure?

Very sure.

As for Nicolas,
there is a group hallucination.

Or there is a third possibility:

He just went upstairs to the bathroom
and then go to sleep.

And then there is no question
of group hallucination ...

but of lying in a family context.

Everything is in place for the crime.

Borchain is finally sleeping.

The candle in the middle of the table is about to go out.

It is very quiet in the hotel.

ThÈrËse is waiting for a sign to the light
and shut the door.

The dog is fast asleep.

And as his boss says:
He doesn't bark when he knows someone.

At that moment the Montagues rise.

Together.

One tiptoes a knife
from the kitchen.

You can enter Borchain through the door
hear snoring.

Borchain is on his back.
Both cousins walk to the bed.

One holds the victim,
the other puts the knife in his chest.

Once, very powerful.
On behalf of the family.

The money is distributed on behalf of the family,
the window is smashed ...

and life must give way ...

for lust, envy and jealousy
to be able to indulge.

The dead remains behind.

And everyone goes to bed in silence.

After ThÈrËse has been warned,
as agreed.

One is satisfied because the house is not
is sold to a Borchain.

Juliette is going to collect the treasure, where
Borchain died that night before.

The irony is ...

when they return home the candle
that everyone had forgotten.

Now only convince Nicolas
that everyone went to sleep at the same time.

Nicolas who is half drunk
and was half a child.

God rest his soul.

I miss one answer
to all my questions:

Who has Borchain an hour later
let that scream?

Groult?

Or Canut?

I didn't scream.

Hold him tight.

The handcuffs, quickly.

He did it.

- I broke the window.
- You stabbed him to death.

Claudel, record their statement.

Bad luck, Canut had good cards.

Tell me, Commissioner:

Who are the Montagues?

A family with problems.

- Romeo and Juliet, does that mean nothing to you?
- Yes. Who is that Romeo?

Never mind, Fred.

You will be using your gun
must defend.

- Throw it on crime passionnel.
- How so?

I'm going to do upstairs the rooms.

And all the shit around a house,
Commissioner.

Better poor and happy,
then rich and in the cemetery.

I'd rather be rich and happy.

I don't know if that goes together
dear Fred.

Think about your childhood.

As for your career ...

you need me in the process
against the Les Ternes gang.

It would suit me if you
finds out that I don't belong.

Wouldn't you like me
give a few more names?

- You're not going to blackmail me, are you?
- Who says that?

Okay, I'll just make a call.

We have a chat and I go to the station.

Put on some music,
that stimulates the memory.

Good dog.

Mrs. Maigret? Everything is OK.

Yes, they have here
an excellent doctor.

I'll take the 1:15 train
to Nantes.

No, I'm not in a nightclub.
Not at 9 in the morning.
