- Evening, Monsieur François.
- François, mon ami. Is it true?
:09:05
- Yes.
- Mais c'est impossible.
:09:07
- Did Hélène...?
- Listen, I can't believe it.
:09:09
Inspector, this is our family physician,
Dr Ejoute. Inspector Charas.
:09:13
Your man called me.
Hélène told him, so I came.
:09:15
- How is she?
- Quite calm now.
:09:18
Almost in a state of euphoria, of relief,
as though she's happy about it.
:09:23
- Is she insane, Doctor?
- Hélène could never have killed her husband.
:09:27
It's impossible, unless she is or was insane.
:09:31
- Did she tell you anything?
- Nothing, except she killed him and how.
:09:37
No, nothing in her could make her do that.
Nothing.
:09:40
Why, Inspector, I've known her all her life.
:09:43
I even delivered her.
:09:46
- She and André were devoted to each other.
- Where is Madame Delambre?
:09:50
In the living room.
:09:59
François, I'm sorry I called you. As you see,
I could have called the police myself.
:10:04
- I'm all right now.
- Hélène, if there's anything I can do...
:10:08
You are the police?
:10:11
Inspector Charas, madame.
:10:13
Hélène, what's going on?
:10:16
- Why do you say you killed André? Why?
- It's all right, François.
:10:19
- Everything's all right now.
- Madame, would you tell us what happened?
:10:24
Of course, monsieur.
:10:27
I killed my husband André Delambre about
half an hour ago in the hydraulic press shed.
:10:32
You understand the gravity of the crime.
You say you killed him. That means
:10:36
you murdered him.
:10:39
I killed André, yes.
:10:42
- Why?
- I cannot answer that question.
:10:45
- How did you kill him?
- With the hydraulic press.
:10:49
How do you operate it?
:10:51
First you put on the main switch, then you
set the stroke to whatever tonnage you want.
:10:56
You set the stroke to maximum,
that is level with the table, or zero.
