{soothing guitar music)

- Hey, this guy killed an old dame

for 50 Francs, all she had in the till.

Well I'd give 5000 for anybody

ta get rid of that old aunt of mine

- What aunt?

- Mamie Henderson, she
leaves out at Saint-Cloud.

- Gin and fizz, rye on the rocks.

- That's for my wife.

- Scotch.

- Cheers.

That's enough

- Cheers.

- Hey. what I'd do with my cigarettes”

Oh there.

(sighs)

"You're on for 50000."

- What's that dear?

- Oh, atip

- For a winner?

- Could be.

Leave the key and the
address in the mailbox.

(people chatter)

{sinister music)

{match strikes)

(traditional French music)

(clock strikes)

{body collapses)

{harrowing music)

- These are yours,
Heurtin, you don't deny it?

There's still a bloodstain.

These are the prints

Same as were found on the
floor of the dead woman's room.

Blood on your clothes, your fingerprints

on the bedroom, door handle, yes?

All right, you were seen near Saint-Cloud

at the Henderson's
house yesterday evening

Why did you go there?

- Nothing to say

- [Maigret] Do you admit to the crime”

- I didn't do it.

- [Maigret] Then, let's hear your defence

It's in your own interest,
if you're innocent

- Nothing, I can say nothing

- Very well, you will be charged

with the murder of Madame Henderson

and her companion, two lonely old women.

No jury's gonna to have mercy on you.

Do you know what's going to happen to you?

- Nothing to say

- Oh, take him to the judge

- Come on, this way.

- The photographs, patron and there's

a Monsieur Kirby to see you. °

- I see, Kirby”?

- The murdered woman's nephew

- Which?

- Madame Henderson?

- All right.

- Will you come this
way Mr. Kirby, please

- Thank you, Monsieur Maigret.

- Chair?

- Oh, no thanks.

I just came along to see
if there was any news

- [Maigret] Yes, we made an arrest

- Oh, quick work.

- Yes, he was a grocery
delivery man, name of Heurtin

- [Kirby] Did you find out why he did it?

- No, not yet, so theft
perhaps, but he's has no record

- Well, there's a first
time for everybody

- [Maigret] Was there anything else

you wanted to know, Monsieur?

- Well, just what happens next?

- [Maigret] A trial,
probably an execution

- Oh, I mean about the
house and the estate?

- You must see a lawyer, Monsieur

The laws of property only
concern me when they're broken

- Oh yes, of course,
thanks for the advice.

- Monsieur.

- Well I got a date,
thanks for, good seeing you

- Nice to be rich.

- How rich?

- $10 million he said.

Old Henderson left the
widow In trust for that one,

he was the poor relation,
there's a motive for you

- Where was he last night?

- Montparnasse, all night, we checked

- Hmm.

Oh, well.

He couldn't have been
in Saint-Cloud could he?

- Not hardly

Monsieur, le juge

- Well, he's not very bright your suspect

- Well according to doctors
he not mad either, Monsieur.

- They'll plead that at the trial

Meanwhile, I'm having him
sent to Fresnes prison

- Oh, I wonder-

- [Judge] What”

- I wonder if that's a good idea

- [Judge] Why?

- Well, if he's not mad,
I think he's innocent

- [Judge] With all that against him

- Well, there's no motive, na weapon

- [Judge] Probably in the river

- Well, there's no motive either,

no attempt to avoid
arrest, and lock at these

He couldn't have chosen an
easier pattem to identify

- [Lucas] You arrested him

- Well, I'm a policeman, you see

- [Lucas] What do you
suggest we should do”?

- Lethim go

- Let him go, Why?

- It's just a feeling

It's nothing that would stand up in court.

I just think he's the wrong
man for this sort of crime

- Well he's a very crude, simple sort

- Simple mission?

Have you seen the
photographs of the bodies

The one on the right there on
the floor, Madame Henderson

She was stabbed to death in her bed.

According to the
pathologists her body rolled

onto the floor 15 minutes later.

Now why should it do that?

Simple mission?

- All right, Maigret, what is it?

Well, if he didn't kill these two women,

somebcedy else did but I
think he knows who did it.

- And you suggest that
we should release him?

- Not release him, Monsieur.

Allow him to escape

{drunken singing in French)

{pot clangs)

- Get up

I said, get up!

You're being transferred to Fresnes

(vehicle hums)

{horn honks)

(engine stutters)

{horns honk)

- [Officer] You wait there

(light playful music)

- Excuse me, Monsieur,
the midday additions

- Well thank you.

Well?

- Lucas is following him, Monsieur

- All papers are counting it.

- The escape story.

- The one we leaked in advance.

They'll want my head for
this if anything goes wrong

- Not yours, Monsieur, mine

- In any case, I'd have to pull

him in again in time for the trial

- Or the murderer.

{door knocks)

Come in, ah, Lapointe, any thing you got

- Ne, patron, there's a
message from the Sifflet

- Oh, that rag

- The editors received an
anonymous note about the escape

- [Judge] What's it say?

- It may interest your esteemed readers

ta know that Joseph Heurtin
did not escape unaided

but that it was the police
officials themselves

in concert with the judicial authorities

who presided over the pseudo
comedy, and so on his own

Thank you, Lapointe, call Forensic,

ask Monsieur Grevet to have a look at it.

- Yes, let's put the
cat among the pigeons

- What mess Monsieur, there's only person

who could have know that
we let Heurtin escape

- Someone who saw?

- No.

- I see.

You know Maigret, if I didn't trust you-

- You wouldn't let me do it.

- Mr. Grevet's here, patron

- Good, hows long have you
been on the force, Lapointe”?

- Three and a half years, patron

- Yeah, I've been in it 20 years

- It's a very interesting
character, the man who wrote this

He's used his left hand
to conceal his handwriting

but one can tell something,
highly intelligent

but emotionally unbalanced,
mind you, that's only a theory

- Can you tell when it was written?

- A few hours ago, early this moming

- And where?

- In a cafe he's torn the
letterhead off, you see

I should think by folding
it over and using something

like the handle of a
spoon as a paper knife

- Yeah.

- Can't tell the name of the cafe can you?

- Possibly possibly, yes,
he's left a tiny bit

(phone rings)

- Lucas.

- Patron, we've had a long walk

I'm on the South Bank,
near the Pont National,

a bistro of dock workers, holy ghosts,

no, no live ones, they've
been unloading cement

He's upstairs having a sleep

I could hear him snoring outside the door.

Me, well I stayed on the
floor and had some breakfast.

- Don't let him see
you and don't lose him,

otherwise you'll be subscribing
to a marble clock for me

- Le Copain. Montpamasse

- Montparnasse, that's a long way

from the Pont National.

{man coughs)

- You all right

{boat horn whistles)

- [Lucas] Excuse me

- Hey. look out

{bottle smashes)

Hey stop. stop youl

At this time in the moming

{engaging guitar music)

- What are you going to da?

- Nothing.

- Oh.

- It doesn't make any difference

- Helga, darling, come
and keep me company

Where have you been old day you bad man?

- My tailors, my credit's very good now

Oh, look who's here.

Honey, this is Inspector Maigret.

My wife and and Helga
Reithberg, friend of ours

What are you drinking, Scotch, of course.

Bob, scotch for the inspector

Hey, is it this true this guy's escaped?

- Does he worry you?

- Oh, not me, no, I don't worry much.

I'd say it was your problem

- [Bob] Mr. Kirby, telephone

- Oh, thanks Bob, I'll take it in the box

Good seeing you

- Lucas

- Ah, patron

You heard?

- Yeah.

- Sorry about that, it
all happened so quickly

- Oh, nevermind Lucas,
we'll find find him again

- I'd give a lot to have
that 30 seconds over again

- Why, do you like being
knocked on the head?

- Yeah.

Where do we go from here?

- I don't know.

I think Dan Heurtin was framed.

- But he didn't talk, surely

- Not If the other person
put the fear of God into him.

Hold there, do you know the Kirby's well

- Pretty well.

- Did either of them write a letter

from here earlier this morning”?

- No, not this moming

- Thank you

- Brink up, Carl's expecting
us back at the flat for the-

- Oh, well you better get a taxi then

- Okay

{tense dramatic music)

- You guard the back way

- Aren't you gonna-

- No, I'm going watch his reactions

- Fine.

- Come on, let's go

- Bye, Bob.

- See you, Pat.

- Bye, Inspector

Come on, come on

{conversing in French)

{tense dramatic music)

- Sorry, Mac

- Pardon, Monsieur?

- I'm sorry, yes, leave
that here, I'll have it

(mysterious music)

- Got a moment?

- Sure.

- Do you know the customers here?

- They're regulars.

- Her?

- Oh shes' hell, a croissant
and a glass of milk

and uses the places as library

- Him?

- The same, two cafe cremes,
he sits here all day

We always get them.

There's one of them out there now.

- Do you know him?

Well, but he's the type that
has fits on the terrace.

I'll chase him off.

- No, leave him

- As you wish, Monsieur.

- Robert.

- One cafe creme.

- No, some caviar sandwiches.

- And vodka?

- Of course, and some American cigarettes,

That's a pretty sandwich

It'll be three francs 50, Monsieur

- What?

- For the cigarettes, you pay separately

- I haven't gotten any money

- What did you say, Monsieur

- Not a sou.

- Wait a moment.

Mr. George.

- I understand, Monsieur, that you

haven't enough money to pay your bill.

- I have no money

- Then perhaps you wouldn't
mind if one of our staff

would come and hit you at your home

- There's none there.

When I say no money, I
mean no money at all

- Fetch the police.

- Monsieur.

- There's one outside.

- Hey, police.

- And the sandwich.

- [Bistro Owner] Yes,

- It could do the little
more chopped onion

- He's had caviar, vodka and cigarettes

- And the cafe creme, 15
francs, service not included

- And no money.

- All right come on

- With pleasure.

(vehicles hum)

- [Officer] Your name?

- Emil Radek.

- You are charged with fraud

- Good.

- Continue.

- Show me your papers

- Austrian citizen, Czech by birth

- Medical student.

- That's what it says

- I thought you were police
when I first saw you.

- All right, all right, you
too much to say for yourself

- I have nothing to say

You did all this on purpose, didn't you

Why didn't you want to meet Heurtin?

- Is he senior to you

- [Officer] Answer the question.

- Why didn't I?

Because I haven't the
faintest idea who Heurtin is.

- Lethim go

- Thank you

- Give the kid his fare home.

- Lapointe

(vehicles hum)

{Lucas whistling)

- All right, all right, Lucas

Get him into the prison hospital

That's the end of that trail.

- So they got him out, eh?

- Yes, more dead than alive

Well, I'll just have to
think of something else now

Anything on Radek”

- Yes, he was a medical student

He is a Czech.

Age, 25, born in Bordeaux, father unknown

He mother was a domestic
servant died about a year ago

I've been on to his professor-

- Go on, what does he say about him?

- Well, the lonely gentleman
seems to think very highly

of him, unusual intelligence,
acute perception,

and the sort of thing, it's all old stuff

The professor hasn't
seen him for over a yeah

- Why?

- [Torrance] He hasn't been studying.

- Since his mother died?

- Yeah, she used to pay his fees on

and send him the money to live on

She died of cancer.

The professor thinks the boy has it too.

- I suppose no one saw
him near Saint-Cloud.

- No, no, nope

- Yes, I'm willing to swear
that Kirby doesn't know him.

(phone rings)

- Yes, right, Lapointe

- What?

- Patron, about Radek,
he made a phone call

a quarter of an hour ago

No, I don't know who to?

- Well, where is he?

Where are you now?

- Heading back toward Montparnasse

- What's Kirby's hotel?

- The Georges Cing.

- Get it for me, will you

- Get me the Georges Cing will you.

(phone rings)

- Reception, Inspector who?

Oh, Monsieur Maigret, good afternoon

It's Delaroux here.

Yeah, it's been a long time

No, Monsieur Kirby went
out five minutes ago

Yes, he had a phone call just before

No inspector, I don't know where he went,

to celebrate perhaps, he cashed
a check for 60,000 francs

- [Guest] My key please

- Did he what?

No, he didn't look as though he was going

to celebrate, rather
the contrary, Monsieur.

(engaging dramatic music)

- Ladies go to the races
this afternoon, Monsieur?

- No, I don't think so

- I thought you were going”?

- Yeah, I changed my mind

Got a call to make.

- Oh no, you can't come In here

- I'm in, you gonna throw me out”

- I shan't serve you

- That's all right, I just
want to use the telephone

- You can't, there's
somebody in there already

- There isn't now is there?

- Well thanks you drink it

- [Bob] Thank you, Monsieur

- Taxi!

- Come in, come in, don't be shy

Hey, now, wait a minute

Keep the change

What would you like to drink?

Scotch, vodka, champagne?

Yes, let's split a bottle of champagne

- No thank you

Oh, come on champagne quick

It's all right, I'm in
a paying mood today

So you're taking it in your heads

to follow me around have you?

Well that's all right, only instead

of marching foolishly,
one behind the other

taking cover in doorways and all that,

why don't we be together
and have a good time

- I only have to know where you are

- Oh, that won't do

You can't trust me out of
your sight for a second

I'm sure your inspector would
be furious if you lost me

I'm rather offended he
doesn't stay with me himself

Ah, here we are

Let's have a goed time

Let's make a night of it, shall we?

I don't expect you get much
fun in the ordinary way

Here's to the force.

(vehicle hums)

(mysterious music)

{horn honks)

{suspenseful music)

- Kirby.

{door bangs)

Open up, Kirby, open up

{gun shot fires)

{gun shot fires)

{tense dramatic music)

- I don't believe you

- I'm afraid it's true, Madame

- It's not possible, Helga.

- I've seen him myself

- I don't understand.

- You knows no reason why your
husband should commit suicide?

- No.

- Do you know why he went to
Saint-Cloud this afternoon?

- Mademoiselle, do you know of any reason”

- Now how would 1?

- You're a close friend of Madame Kirby's

- One doesn't tell one's
friends everything

- Not in your situation, you were

a closer friend to Monsieur Kirby.

- That's not your business.

- His mistress, I understand

- That's the bourgeois word for it, yes

And the Madame's best friend.

- Yes, If it's anything to do with you

- Mademoiselle, I
sincerely hope it won't be

(glitzy jazz plays)

- You must try to understand me, Lapointe

- Understand you, yeah

- A clever man, a really clever man

can do exactly as he wants

- Oh exactly

- Will you get me a little drink, dear?

- Buy your own

{girls scream)

- Ah, ah, you again, huh?

I know what you're gonna
do with that money

- Yeah?

- You going to find out
if that note was stolen

by Kirby this afternoon, much
better to buy a drink with it

- When did you last visit

the Henderson's house at Saint-Cloud?

- Me go there, Inspector,
no I wouldn't go there

That place has got a very bad name

- It's got a worse one now

Mr. Kirby shot himself
there this afternoon.

(Radek laughs)

- Well, he'll never marry
little Helga now, will he?

Do you know he was planning
to divorce his wife

and marry her, they needed money,

but of course you didn't know
did you, nor did Madame Kirby

You are a model-man,
Inspector, aren't you

Another drink all around.

Forget all about it, have
a girl here, have this one

Allright, I'l keep her
for myself, won't I love

What are you going to do, Maigret?

You shouldn't have taken on
this case in the first place

You'll never understand it, never

Oh, I know what you're thinking,

but it doesn't matter
to me what you think.

I have nothing to do
with Kirby, with Heurtin,

or with Madame Henderson or her maid.

I know nething, or
perhaps, I knows everything

Don't want to ask me any questions?

- No.

- You know, I feel very sorry for you

A man of your age to get
an 1D idea in your head,

stake your reputation
on it, your livelihood

your little comforts, you
would have been far better

to have let Heurtin to his fate.

You might even have been promoted

That would have been nice, wouldn't it?

What is the pay of an inspector,

about half what Kirby used
to spend on entertaining

Now Kirby's dead, what
are you going to do, man

- I'm going to have a drink

- What's that?

- I can't understand half
of what you're saying

You're gabbling, what, what girls,

oh Julien, you didn't
accept, but Radek what?

My son, that's the
oldest trick in the game

What are you saying?

All right, you better come in, quick

- Good morning, patron.

- sit?

- Had Lapointe on the phone

Seems he had a rough night.

- He's not the only one

I managed to pull out early, coffee.

- He says he's lost Radek

- [Maigret] Lost him?

- Torrance, stern coffee quickly

- Radek got on the metro on Raspail,

jumped up on the train
before the door shut,

leaving Julienne te be carrying
on to Denfert-Rochereau.

- What about Heurtin?

- Touch and go

Do you want a general call out for Radek.

- No, I want to think

- Lucas, have you have been
down a dive called Le Treque”?

- [Lucas] In Montmarte”

- Yeah, don't go there, bad cognac

- Good morning patron
one, strong black coffee

coming up, it's a lovely moming

- That's better, thank you Charles

Two old women, none of them
very rich, both brutally killed

Young Kirby who stood to gain most,

but he went and shot himself.

- Why?

- Nevermind, Lucas, facts

- But why in that house?

- Because he'd been sent there

on a wild-goose chase or a frame-up,

or possibly just some grim practical joke

- The facts, patron

- All right.

- No but I mean why shoot
himself in that same house?

- Because when he found
me there he realised

he was in a spot and he couldn't face it.

He couldn't fact anything, that young man.

- I wouldn't shoot myself

- No, not you, not you Lucas, but Kirby,

he saw his whole little
golden world crashing down-

- Or if he'd actually done it

- He couldn't have done
it, he wasn't there

and I still think that
Heurtin didn't do it

So where does that get us?

- Well, Heurtin went looking

for someone when we let him go

- Yeah, and when he could get at him

when he found him he jumped in the river

- No, it's speculation,
it's all speculation,

and Radek is speculation run riot.

He probably sent that note

to the Sifflet and now he has money

- Left for him in a telephone booth

an Le Copain by Kirby

- Perhaps, perhaps.

Lucas, take this over to George V.

See if the number tallies

with the 60,000 they
cashed for Kirby yesterday

- Right.

- And anything else you can find on him.

- [Lucas] Good

{Maigret groans)

- Good morning, Inspector

- What the?

- You were wise to go
home at three o'clock,

poor Lapointe didn't look
at all well this morning

- Who let you in here?

- Nobody, I just walked in.

You can go anywhere in this place

as long as you've got a pair of these.

Perhaps you'd return
them for me to Lapointe

- What do you want”?

- Nothing special

I just thought I'd like
to see where your work

Besides, it's nice to talk
to a man of intelligence

One often get the chance

I see you've been making lists.

That won't help.

You will never get to the
bottom of this ane, Maigret.

- Have you come here to give information?

- I could give you a hint, but
it wouldn't be of any good

- Where did you first meet Heurtin?

- In the papers, the
same as everyone else

You'll have to think of some

better questions than that, Maigret.

What will happen to him?

- He'll be tried, probably executed

If he recovers.

He tried te drown himself yesterday

- The sign of a guilty man.

- Or a man who doesn't
know which way to turn

- But he didn't succeed did he?

And if he does die, his
death will be on your hands

You'll just have to accept the
obvious solution in the end.

Poor Heurtin, I know, why not arrest me?

Now there's an idea, why not?

I haven't long to live
anyways, I'm sure you know

I'm sure you've checked
up on my medical history

The trouble is what
would you arrest me for?

Still, you are having me
followed by a policeman

Oh, by the way, I hope it's
always that nice young one,

charming fellow, no head for
drinks, but terribly nice

(phone rings)

- Maigret, yes Lucas, I see.

No, check the other manifest

It seems that the 100 franc note

that I took from you yesterday was

in the possession of
Kirby yesterday afternoon

- [Radek] Fancy.

- How did you come by?

Get out of that chairl

- I suppose his money circulated

It must be people all over Paris

with his notes in their pockets

Shall I tell you something”?

There could be another murder.

If you're not interested,
I shouldn't tell you

You won't anything at all

-Comein.

- Ah, Lapointe-

- You-

My dear fellow let's go and have

a drink and l'll tell you
how te become an inspector.

- Lapointe, come here

You can go

- I was going without permission

Le Treque, yes?

- I'm sorry

- You have a lot te learn my boy

Here, well if he tries to steal them off

you again, put them on him.

- Yes, patron.

- Two letters slipped in a hotel box

The writing is the same
as the note to the Sifflet.

- Good, one Kirby, Helga Reithsberg.

See what's in in them.

- Very interesting, it's a key

- Hmm.

It's the key, Lucas

- Have a liqueur, Lapointe

- No.

- Well have something

- No.

- [Radek] A cognac for Monsieur

and some more champagne for me.

(dizzying music)

{dramatic music plays in background)

- Come on.

- There's the man with the whip

Run to him and he whistles,
another champagne

- How is he?

- He's throwing his money
around and desperate

I was wondering if perhaps somebody

paid him to be a decoy?

- What?

- I mean everyone.

- They'll stop staring
if he goes on like this

So will you

- I haven't touched a drop this morning.

- [Maigret] All right, you can go now

- What, back to the office?

- [Maigret] No, home and
to bed, best place for you

- Thank you, patron

- Sleep well, Monsieur.

- Some champagne, Maigret,
I stood one up for you

- Be happy

- This place is rather
dull in the daytime.

Still it has an atmosphere,
don't you think?

I do hope that you can claim your

taxes on expenses, can you?

If you want to be wherever I am

we can always share on I would pay

That would be an amusing
situation wouldn't it?

- Fill it up.

- Yes, Monsieur

- Do you want some?

- Me?

- Champagne, yes

Or, what'd you like one of these?

You can have it if you eam it

What'll you do, sing?

Ah, song first and if you
dance, you can have another one

- No, no, Monsieur she's too old

- Nobody's too old for money

Now what'll you sing, huh?

Come on let's hear it, let's hear it.

{singing in French)

- [Radek] Dance, dance

{singing in French)

- No good, out of tune,
now what I thought

You see I'm learning the value of money.

- But I sang, you said if I sang-

- Throw her out!

- [Barmaid] Go now, Lisette.

- [Lisette] But I don't sing well-

- [Barmaid] I know dear, no trouble here.

- What will you do, Maigret if
you have to leave the force?

Perhaps then you'll understand

if you have to sit with no money at all

and watch people who have too much

Not that money of course
is as important as power

That's why you like your job isn't it?

Isn't it?

- [Barmaid] Another beer, Monsieur

- No thanks.

- You're leaving me?

- Unless you care to come

- Where are you going?

- Madame Henderson's house.

We could share a taxi.

- Are you allowed to tamper with the mail?

- These letters were not in the mail.

- Oh, who were they from?

- They were written in the left hand

- May I have mine, please?

- I can tell you what was in them

Madame Kirby was to inform that
you were husband's mistress

and he was an accessory
to his aunt's murder

and that this be known she would

not receive the inheritance.

- Have you told her

- She was advised to move vital evidence,

the knife that was the murder weapon,

which she'd find in a cupboard

in the murdered woman's bedroom.

Now it must've been put
there after we had searched

by somecne who had access to the house

- I take it this is a fairy
story, it sounds like one

- She was even sent a key, the same key

- Have you seen it before?

- I don't imagine so

- Your letter merely said
that Madame Kirby would create

which you could prevent by
finding the knife first,

it named a time, the same time was

that suggested to Madame Kirby.

Now that meant that
the two of you would be

in an empty house, one of
you would have a knife

{suspenseful music)

- Aren't you going to follow her?

- No, I'd rather go into the house

- [Radek] The door's locked

- I'l try this one

What's a matter Radek?

Do you really think there
has been another murder?

{suspenseful music)

Close the door, will ya?

{door closes)

- Thanks, come on up

You're not squeamish are you?

How easy it was for the
murderer, two lonely old women

All you had to do was just tiptoe

along the corridor to the
room at the end like this.

It's all right there's nothing
in there, nothing at all

Madame Henderson was stabbed just here.

Just where I'm sitting and her companion

was stabbed there, just where you are

There was blood everywhere

Kirby was shot himself over there

It's rather dull in
the daytime this place,

but it has a certain
atmosphere don't you think?

What's a matter, can you hear something?

Did you know that Madame Henderson's body

rolled off the bed onto
the floor just here

as though someone,
Huertin had blundered in

and disturbed it before rushing out again,

and to think that the murderer might still

have been in here all the time.

I wonder where he could
have hidden himself

in that cupboard perhaps have a lock in

Will you see if i's big enough?

Go on, you're younger than I am.

You did very well, mademoiselle
and so did Madame Kirby

You expected one of them
to be dead, didn't you?

- [Helga] Nol

(gun clicks)

- We borrowed this last night

You're not the only pickpocket

- What are you going to da?

- Take you in

- On what charge?

- Sit down, mademoiselle

You too.

You sent Kirby one of your
anonymous notes, didn't you?

Then. you got the key from him

Then, you'll talked Heurtin
into burgling this place

and you got here first and
you stabbed the old woman,

and he was stabbed her companion,

and you left them here for him to find.

He didn't stand a chance with you, did he

When you phoned the Kirby for the money

you told him to come here
too and when he shot himself

that was a bonus for you wasn't it?

His money and his life, so you thought

you'd mix the poison a bit more

and involve his wife
and Madame Reithsberg

- But why?

- Can't you guess?

- You teld me, when you have to sit

with no money at all and watch
people who have too much

Isn't that it?

You thought you could play with everybody

my son, didn't you, even me

Why the devil didn't you speak up

- Afterwards when I saw
him he said if I talked

to you it couldn't harm him,

but I'd go to the guillotine anyway.

He said, he said, if I kept
quiet he could get me out of it

- We got you out of it.

Your charge has been reduced
to one of illegal entry

- Anything to say”?

- No.

- I should hope not

Take him away.

- This way.

- Why didn't you keep quiet?

You had to show off to
someone you didn't you,

s0 you chose me isn't
that, it was a gamble

You knew I had to die soon
anyway so you didn't care

- No, I wish to be executed

Arrange it for me, Inspector

- [Maigret] Why?

- I once witnessed an execution,

a man who was steady as a rock

The last moment he broke down
and started whining "Mother."

I want to know if I'm
going to do the same
