No political songs. 259 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,764 Only licentious. 260 00:17:31,765 --> 00:17:34,527 Love songs.

But I have a lot of questions to ask you. 269 00:18:10,922 --> 00:18:12,641 I'm asking some myself too. 270 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,686 The janitor described Anthenor as a miser of the worst kind. 271 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,008 - It's odd, isn't it? - Why that? 272 00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:20,965 Because a miser doesn't buy sealed wine. 273 00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:22,170 So... 274 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,344 the bit of cork I've found in the apartment...-Comes from the outside. 275 00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:30,046 You see how simple is an investigation. So, you don't have a fiancée of course? 276 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,506 I know why you're saying this. Because you 277 00:18:34,507 --> 00:18:36,611 haven't seen a woman's portrait in this room. 278 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,131 No. I'm saying this because a woman in love would already have sent you a note. 279 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,964 They're always afraid of being forgotten. 280 00:18:42,965 --> 00:18:44,648 But don't worry, they grow out of it. 281 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,971 Then, to resume. At this hour Monistrol is in jail. 282 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,130 - He's waiting to be interrogated. - Why would he be waiting? 283 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,723 Because Judge Boisec is late, of course. After the reception at the Elysée 284 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,766 where he probably bragged all evening and drank too much Champagne. 285 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,407 - Very bad. - For his liver, assuredly. 286 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,482 I didn't think about his liver but about vanity and pride 287 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,925 The Champagne is misleading. It gives you the feeling of being higher. 288 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,490 Than time and men. The strongest, the brightest, it's you. 289 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,002 It's not so unpleasant in fact. It can 290 00:19:19,003 --> 00:19:21,164 even be helpful but in the case of Boisec 291 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,808 you can see the amount of damages. 292 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:31,290 - In the end, we both do the same job. - You sound the body, I sound the mind. 293 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,328 To make the foulness, the ugliness, the deceits, the anger getting out. 294 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,480 You're right. Except that 295 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,411 you have a lot of tools to cure your patients. 296 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,891 While I have only one to make the truth win. 297 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,321 - Only one? - Only one. 298 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,846 But what a tool, my nose! 299 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,850 Aren't you forgetting the brain, 300 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,807 They work together. They speak, they examinate, they argue on the case. 301 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,605 They have a rule, a motto. 302 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,123 All must coincide. Every piece must fall in the right place. 303 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,687 Or else, it's a wrong lead. 304 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,122 Your brain and your nose do a lot of talking. 305 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,403 Hence the importance of not catching a cold. 306 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,808 Let's go. 307 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,446 Where are we going, Mr Mechinet? 308 00:20:18,447 --> 00:20:20,031 To see the janitor of the old Anthenor. 309 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,801 You remember it's her who discovered him in his blood while coming to do chores. 310 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,766 If he was so miser he probably did the chores himself. 311 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,771 Good, Mr Godeuil. Very good. 312 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:33,442 Three burgesses, on St Eloi's day, went to diner at another goldsmith's... 313 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,566 But it's my wife's voice. 314 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,443 Oh, you're here! -What's that song? 315 00:20:51,444 --> 00:20:54,486 It's a little tune I hum from time to time. 316 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,605 I've heard the janitor singing it. 317 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,288 In fact the janitor heard me singing it here and there and... - Caroline. 318 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,722 Only doctors are allowed to sing that tune. 319 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,448 - It's understood? - I did something bad, then? 320 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,804 Very bad. Come on. Let's go now. 321 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,785 I got a good look at you yesterday when 322 00:21:19,786 --> 00:21:22,009 you were inspecting the victim's body and 323 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:25,569 I noticed something odd. It seems to make you glad. 324 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,581 Carry on. 325 00:21:27,582 --> 00:21:29,642 Well, since the old Pigorot has been cut-throated... 326 00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:33,241 - Which weapon? - A very sharpened knife or one of these 327 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,801 - Catalan dagger they sell in the south. - Carry on. - At first glance it seems 328 00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:40,570 Pigorot used his own blood to write his murderer's name. -And then? 329 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,208 Your special method of inspection got me puzzled. 330 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,642 When you took the watch out of the waistcoat pocket I 331 00:21:46,643 --> 00:21:48,724 thought it was to know the exact hour of the crime. 332 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,365 Then, I understood it was something else interesting you. 333 00:21:51,366 --> 00:21:53,449 What then? 334 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,542 I just followed your glance. You discovered 335 00:21:56,543 --> 00:21:59,283 that the waistcoat pocket was on the left. 336 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,491 Because Pigorot had asked for it to his tailor. 337 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,001 It was a waistcoat made for a left-handed person. But 338 00:22:04,002 --> 00:22:06,362 Pigorot wrote the murderer's name with his right hand. 339 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,281 Dear Mr Godeuil!

Sit down, please - Why? 350 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,685 Why? The money, of course.

Unless... 389 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,561 Now that you ask me. In the left hand. 390 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,491 All the same, the police force is extremely lucky to have you on his side. 391 00:24:51,540 --> 00:24:53,183 It's true that I'm the one who discovered 392 00:24:53,184 --> 00:24:54,525 that the nephew was the murderer. 393 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,247 By the way, the nephew, Mr Monistrol, 394 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,321 have you seen him going up to his uncle's on tuesday? 395 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,728 I bet. I've seen him for sure. 396 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,130 Did you see him coming back? It was night time then. 397 00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:09,368 Since I tell you I've seen him.

You've seen his face? 399 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:15,762 No. But since his dog was following him 400 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:18,805 I've immediately recognized him. 401 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Can I ask you another question, dear Lady? 402 00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:24,766 Please do. 403 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,267 Did Mr Pigorot had a cellar? 404 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,491 At first, when he came here, he owned one. 405 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,411 Do you know what the old stingy did then? He sold it. 406 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,560 He didn't drink wine anyway. What's the use of keeping it then? 407 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,841 I'm counting on you for keeping your repertory away from Mrs Mechinet's ears. 408 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,842 Tell me, Mr Mechinet. Since Pigorot was left-handed it's not him writing 409 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,385 the murderer's name. And Minestrol is 410 00:26:04,386 --> 00:26:06,569 certainly not idiot enough to design himself. 411 00:26:06,820 --> 00:26:09,507 Talking about idiocy you have seen nothing yet. On this subject... 412 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,101 Tell me.

Is that the reason? 433 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,500 You killed him because he refused to give you money. 434 00:27:23,501 --> 00:27:25,639 I already told you. 435 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:31,726 I couldn't make it.

But a hit is not enough to cause such a wound. 447 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,242 The poker would have had to enter in the throat. 448 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,967 Wouldn't you rather have pierced through his throat? 449 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,484 Yes, I've pierced him. 450 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,081 And after that? 451 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,889 He collapsed.

You keep your head down too long. 506 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,131 - It's the staircase, I'm sure. - Staircase? -When I'm cleaning them. 507 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,131 Nobody in Paris cleans a staircase better than me. 508 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,883 That's another case. Don't you have the impression that since you're born 509 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,130 you're scrubing things? That's it. Exactly. 510 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,323 Be careful, it could go up to your brain. 511 00:32:47,324 --> 00:32:49,166 What should I do, Doctor? 512 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,763 - Eat cabbage. That's the only remedy. - Cabbage? 513 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,886 For the neck's muscles cabbage is the only solution. 514 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,406 And you must pass your fingers on your neck like this with the head up. 515 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,730 You see, like this? 516 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,321 Upwards. 517 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,971 It looks like the tenants love their pets in this building. 518 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,609 Don't tell me. It's Pluton, Mr Monistrol's pet. 519 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,601 The first floor's tenant. The poor man was taken to jail yesterday. 520 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,927 Is that so? 521 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,647 Imagine that he killed his uncle. 522 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,731 And the poor Mrs Monistrol is up there alone since then. 523 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,970 She's a very kind woman. 524 00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:37,066 And she wears violet all the time. She smells like a bunch of flowers. 525 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,725 Maybe it's the reason of her headaches. 526 00:33:38,726 --> 00:33:40,329 Maybe. 527 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,490 We could look in your book, Dr. Maybe her illness is inside? 528 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,049 There's nothing about flowers in my book. I'm sorry. 529 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,041 You were saying about Mrs Monistrol? 530 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,724 When she has a headache I bring her my onion soup. 531 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,687 I could put cabbage in my soup! It could do a lot of good to my neck! 532 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,964 Good idea. 533 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,166 So you brought her some soup... 534 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,948 Exactly on the evening of the crime. If I could have guessed. 535 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,481 So, you have seen Pluton this evening? 536 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,729 No. He was with his master, Pluton. 537 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,721 And since Mr Monistrol was busy then killing his uncle... 538 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,950 Of course, Pluton is following only his master. 539 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,129 It depends. But it has to be a person he knows. 540 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,244 If I call him, for example, he comes to me. 541 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,331 It's a good dog. 542 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,364 Come on. It's finished. 543 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,685 - It's 11 am, Mr Godeuil. - But Mr, I... 544 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,691 It's you. 545 00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,764 Back to work, Mr Godeuil.
