1:21:05
What are you doing here?
1:21:06
Take a look!
This is your wife's blotter.
1:21:11
I knew it. Laura is mad.
1:21:14
I caught her red-handed last night
but lacked the nerve to report it.
1:21:24
A very young wife,
a very old husband.
1:21:27
There's the tragedy.
1:21:29
In fact, it's all my fault.
I should never have married Laura.
1:21:34
When we were first married,
1:21:36
her youth rekindled me.
1:21:39
This last surge of passion consumed
what remained of my desire and love.
1:21:45
Then, little by little...
1:21:49
I became my wife's friend.
1:21:51
I wasn't enough for her.
1:21:53
But she'd had a virtuous upbringing,
so she stayed faithful to me.
1:21:58
Then you arrived.
1:22:00
She liked you.
1:22:02
To attract your attention,
she wrote the first letter.
1:22:06
As that had no effect,
it enraged her.
1:22:10
She attacked you for not giving in,
1:22:13
and Denise, who was your lover.
1:22:15
She compromised her sister,
who was watching her.
1:22:20
Her rage turned into frenzy,
1:22:23
her frenzy into madness.
1:22:28
And now, be so good as
to take this blotter to the police.
1:22:33
I don't have the strength.
1:22:35
Nor do l.
1:22:37
A trial wouldn't help.
She's sick. Care for her.
1:22:40
Is that you talking?
You, the man of principles?
1:22:43
I've learned a good deal
since this morning.
1:22:46
This kind of crisis has a purpose.
1:22:50
Like a convalescent after an illness,
you come out stronger, more aware.
1:22:54
It's horrible to admit,
but Evil is a necessity.
1:22:57
Look after Laura.
- It's too late!
