Three years ago I ran a hospital unit
in Paris as a brain surgeon.

1:00:07
- Brain surgeon?
- You're Germain Monatte?

1:00:09
Yes.
1:00:11
Half my name was real.
So I'm only half guilty.

1:00:14
Dr. Germain Monatte
had a wife, gentlemen.

1:00:17
Not a shrew like yours, Delorme,
1:00:20
nor a righteous biddy like Mrs. Maquet,
1:00:23
but a woman.
1:00:25
A real woman.
1:00:27
She was expecting.
1:00:29
I entrusted her to a famous surgeon.
The most famous.

1:00:33
It didn't look good,
1:00:35
but the idiot made it
a point of honor to give me a son.

1:00:39
A man of duty!
1:00:41
He killed both mother and child.
1:00:45
He killed Dr. Monatte in the bargain.
1:00:50
Dr. Germain withdrew to the provinces
1:00:52
to provide his services to mothers.
1:00:55
With a clear conscience
he acts on difficult cases!

1:00:59
That changes everything.
1:01:00
Quite!
1:01:02
You suspected Dr. Germain
1:01:04
but Dr. Monatte
accuses you of stupidity!

1:01:06
And incompetence!
1:01:23
So, you've won, you little fool!
1:01:26
If you were my kid,
I'd give you a good spanking.

1:01:29
Let me die. I want to die!
1:01:32
- What is it?
- A child nearly drowned.

1:01:35
- Accident?
- I'm afraid not.

1:01:38
This is unthinkable.
We must do something.

1:01:41
Is that you, Annette?
1:01:43
- Let me die!
- Why should you die?

1:01:46
- Because Daddy isn't my daddy.
- Who said so?

1:01:49
Daddy got a letter and Mommy left.
1:01:52
Go home like a good little girl.
1:01:54
It's not true.
1:01:56
Tomorrow I'll explain it all
to your Daddy.

1:01:59
The letter writer will be punished.
