Hello, Colonel.
:22:06
Hello, Mr. Mayor.
:22:17
- Not playing?
- These gentlemen are talking.
:22:21
- Fayolles got a letter.
- What's worse, so did I.
:22:24
Why worse?
:22:25
Because I'm a public figure!
:22:28
He doesn't even respect public office.
:22:31
Sinister character!
:22:32
Listen to this!
:22:36
"Old shirker"...
:22:37
I refuted that hogwash
during my election campaign.
:22:41
"You administer a city
:22:43
polluted by Germain the angel-maker.
:22:46
Here's my indictment in three points:
:22:48
Point 1 : Germain sowed
his wild oats with -"
:22:53
Here he names
a lady of honorable standing.
:22:57
It's unnecessary to lend it
any importance.
:23:00
"Point 2:
Germain is trafficking morphine
:23:03
and framing an innocent victim,
Marie Corbin,
:23:06
to whom I respectfully bow."
:23:08
What do you say?
- And Point 3?
:23:10
Of no importance.
:23:12
- Point 3: You're a cuckold.
- How would you know?
:23:15
I got an anonymous letter, too.
:23:17
All lies, but how unpleasant!
:23:19
- I don't agree.
- You find them pleasant?
:23:21
I meant the lies.
There's some truth to them.
:23:25
So I sell adulterated drugs!
:23:27
I meant the accused person
whose name appears in each letter.
:23:31
I wouldn't dare speak ill
of a colleague,
:23:34
but this morning we had a talk
which left me feeling uneasy.
:23:40
In my three years as deputy prosecutor,
this is my first real opportunity.
:23:44
You can't just arrest Germain.
:23:46
I mean investigating the hospital.
:23:49
Not on your life! I won't allow it!
Enough already!
:23:52
A physician can't fight
the public prosecutor.
:23:55
But your father can box your ears
if you get on his nerves!
:23:59
- If that's the case -
- Indeed, it is!
