1:56:00
...from making the money to give to Lord X
to give to Irma to give to you.
1:56:04
That's the truth. If you tell that mishmash
to a jury, you're a cinch to get 15 years.
1:56:11
- Wha... what am I gonna do?
- Nothing. Just put yourself in my hands.
1:56:18
Gentlemen, my client admits his crime.
1:56:21
- He does?
- I do?
1:56:24
But let us consider the motive.
1:56:27
Why would a mac kill
his girl's best customer?
1:56:29
For 500 francs, when he can get
that twice a week every week?
1:56:32
It would be like killing the goose
that laid the golden egg.
1:56:36
Or because they were
running away together?
1:56:38
Because he was losing his meal ticket?
That's equally ridiculous.
1:56:42
He's the king around here. He could
have had any girl working for him.
1:56:47
That's right.
1:56:49
So we are left with only one
possible motive - jealousy.
1:56:54
He was so in love with Irma, he couldn't
bear to have any other man touch her.
1:56:59
Yes, Inspector, it's the old,
familiar pattern - crime of passion.
1:57:07
Nestor, is that true?
1:57:12
Yes.
1:57:13
You did it because you loved me?
1:57:15
Now you know.
1:57:19
And I'd kill any other man
who came near you.
1:57:22
Gets you right here, doesn't it?
1:57:25
Take him away!
1:57:27
Nestor, I love you, and I'll wait
for you, no matter how long it takes.
1:57:44
You won't have to wait very long.
This is France, a civilised country.
1:57:48
L'amour, toujours l'amour.
1:57:51
When the jury hears my summation -
1:57:53
two people in the gutter,
reaching for the stars -
1:57:56
they'll cry, they'll cheer...
1:57:58
...they'll carry him out of
the courtroom on their shoulders.
