lnstead of being himself,
he adopted attitudes.

1:34:04
He played the role as dictated
by his education and his milieu.

1:34:11
Excuse me, professor.
l didn't know you were still here.

1:34:15
l just need a few more minutes.
Good night.

1:34:28
A highly developed sense of duty...
1:34:32
self-discipline
practised since childhood...

1:34:35
and considerable social success
prevented the patient...

1:34:40
from giving his feelings free rein.
1:34:44
He was obviously very attached
to his wife who, like his mother...

1:34:49
is a possessive
and strong-willed person.

1:34:56
The inexplicable fear
and the fear of this fear...

1:35:00
were practised in a closed
social ritualistic pattern...

1:35:05
in which the consumption
of drugs and alcohol...

1:35:09
is an acceptable, yes,
even recommended outlet.

1:35:14
Maybe nothing would have happened
if he'd stayed in his milieu.

1:35:18
The catastrophe occurs the moment
he has contact with the prostitute.

1:35:24
All becomes possible.
1:35:26
Anything could have triggered it.
A word, a gesture, a tone of voice.

1:35:33
He had an emotional blackout,
during which he killed the girl.

1:35:41
And in a presumably
ecstatic moment...

1:35:44
Egermann consummates
the sexual act with the dead girl.

1:35:51
The emotional avalanche
has now been set free.

1:35:56
You only possess or have control
over the person you have killed.
