Maigret

Hey, kid, wouldn't be listening to us, would you? This gang could be connected

to Mattia's killing.

He recorded them planning a job. He could identify them. You're acting like

they're doing is a waste of time.

I could be wrong. I've been wrong before.

Are you insane?

Branku and Miller are known criminals. You're talking to them. That does not

give you license to go poking your nose into my family's affairs.

Testing. All the rain through Beaumarchais.

Water, please.

We close in ten minutes.

We're going to try again, aren't we, maybe?

We are. You should.

I mean, children are, they're a blessing.

They're a nightmare. Aren't we?

The anxiety, the expense.

You love your children.

I'm going to sleep.

Oh, please behave.

We're not walking home in that. Better order a cab.

Oh, they'll be booked up.

It's only a few yards to the metro.

Don't have to leave quite yet.

And do finish the tart, Maybray.

If you insist.

And when you're done with that, let's leave these lovely ladies and finish our

game.

Hey, kid.

You wouldn't be listening to us, would you?

No, I'm just having a drink.

Not anymore.

Get out.

Get out.

Sorry about that.

Good night.

You ever get to smoke that?

It was my father's.

I have you, my friend, like a rat in a trap.

Can I get you this one?

Checkmate.

Hello? Doctor, pardon me, it's Gino.

Somebody has been stabbed. We've got to come down.

I'm coming.

Can someone call an ambulance?

There's been a stabbing outside.

Lucas, Magritte.

Stabbing on the route garage.

Local crime scene is stationed as soon as possible.

He's still breathing.

Stay with me now. So I can stay calm and under the control of her.

Maybe. Maybe.

There. Keep it for sure.

That one's here too.

Hold on.

I'll end the doctor. You'll be okay.

Tell Henri not to wait up.

The crepe seller Gino, who's given a description of the attacker, was sending

wide. You've got an idea on the victim?

Antoine Bertie, a student of the Sorbonne. Bertie.

The Bertie family only see on perfumes, so the press will be all over this.

Great.

Get Jambier to take Gino's statement.

Gallop 1 to full CCTV, doorbell cameras, the usual.

Send Taurus to the hospital.

That doorway.

Fingerprints, footprints, everything.

There was someone standing there.

I'm going to take my wife home. Call me if you have anyone.

Everyone knows Lucien Perfumes.

I don't. But you don't read gossip magazines.

Is there gossip?

Madame Petit died about three years ago.

Skiing accident in Val d 'Isere, very tragic.

Dad locked himself away. The daughter, Manu, started acting out, drug,

crashing cars.

What about the son, Antoine?

Hadn't even heard from him till tonight.

Torrance.

Kid didn't make it, boss.

He had some kind of recording device on him, like a tape recorder.

Stay there.

See you soon.

Going to tell the father?

Love you.

Hate your job.

Let's hear about these at the concert.

Call in the morning.

I'll wait.

Monsieur Batty?

Yes?

I'm Chief Inspector Magritte, police judiciaire.

Oh, dear.

Is it men who'll get her?

Thank you, Maria.

Please.

So, not me new.

It's Antoine.

I'm afraid he's dead.

How? He was stabbed.

He was taken to Le Magdalene, but they couldn't save him.

I'm sorry.

Who stabbed him?

We have a description.

We're looking.

What can I see, my son?

Will you come with me?

This is Mr. Betty.

He's in there, sir.

Your recorder?

Have you listened to it?

The genius couldn't get it to work, so he called me.

Didn't make a lot of sense.

Traffic, random conversations.

I'd like to go home.

I need to call my daughter.

Of course.

Jeremy will drive you.

Monsieur Betty, we found this recorder on your son.

Yes, it was...

For a project he was doing at the thought box. He said he wanted to record

sounds of a city where he lived.

I'd like to talk to you tomorrow morning, if that's okay.

Thank you.

Take it to Merce.

Now? Yes.

Merce doesn't sleep.

I need to know what's on it.

Okay,

why are we listening to this?

Because of what he recorded next.

Sounds

like

some kind of burglary.

Sorry about that.

That was 30 minutes before he was stabbed.

Like they knew he'd overheard them and decided he was a liability.

Chief Inspector.

Torrance, Janvier, Bar -Lorraine. Get descriptions of the three men.

Carver and Lafoyance.

Follow up with the locals on CCTV.

Both Batty and the three guys from the bar.

Jean -Pierre had a description of the killer from Gino, the crap seller. It's

his statement.

Well, if Jean -Pierre got a description, why can't Jean -Pierre do the CCTV?

We will talk to the father.

Good morning, Chief Inspector.

Good morning, Jesus.

We heard that the T got caught in a drug turf war. Is that what you heard?

Do

you

have any news?

I'm afraid not.

We'd like to talk to you about your son, sir.

What sort of man he was.

His friendships, relationships, interests.

But also, if you know of anyone who would want to hurt him.

Or you.

We're closed.

We just got in here last night.

Not that I recall.

Can I use your facilities?

Women and their tiny bladders. Still, they rule the world.

I like your hair.

Was he in here last night?

With anyone, did he, uh...

Talked to anyone?

A guy talked to him. He seemed kind of pissed off.

Can you describe this guy?

About my height, black baseball cap, khaki raincoat, scary eyes.

Wow, you should be a cop.

Could I be your partner?

Seen scary eyes in here before.

What about the guys he was with?

How do you know he was with anyone?

Magic. Magic.

OK. One of the guys he was with does come in here. He owns a famous shop two

streets over.

His name is Bronco.

Two minutes after your guy left, they all left.

If you think of anything else... Wait.

Pour something.

Can I buy you a drink?

Sorry, I'm already taken.

Who by?

A married middle -aged white guy.

Well, since my wife died, he's been the perfect son.

He left a bad behaviour to his sister.

But as for enemies, I... They're a bunch of vultures.

You should throw them out, all of them.

You know, this is Chief Inspector Maygrave.

Sergeant Lucas, police judiciaire.

I'm so sorry you'd have to be here.

It's all right.

We'll talk when they've gone.

That's me now.

Go away.

This is your brother's room.

Great, a genius.

Where were you last night?

You're questioning me?
