:19:04
In spite of what the doctors think,
I believe Mrs Delambre's mind is quite clear.
:19:10
- Even when catching flies.
- How can you say that?
:19:12
She must be mad. What about Philippe?
:19:15
She acts as if the boy were mine and not hers.
:19:18
She may be trying to protect him.
:19:20
Perhaps she fears him, or even hates him.
:19:23
That's impossible.
:19:26
Hélène couldn't hate anyone.
You must be out of your mind.
:19:34
You're in love with her, aren't you?
:19:38
Yes.
:19:39
- Why didn't you marry her?
- Because she loved my brother.
:19:42
I don't think she ever noticed me.
:19:44
I'm glad you're being honest with me.
You see, at first I suspected you.
:19:49
Me? Why should I do such a thing?
:19:52
Motive one, for his wife. Motive two,
to control Delambre Electronics.
:19:56
What do I care about motives? Hélène is
in trouble and André's dead. It's a nightmare.
:20:02
I know now you had nothing to do with it,
but I had to check, for her sake.
:20:06
I'm sorry, Inspector. I'm a fool.
You've been so patient. Forgive me. It's just...
:20:10
I understand, monsieur.
Perhaps it's I who should apologise.
:20:14
I have to pry into all sorts of personal things.
It's... Well, it's necessary, unfortunately.
:20:19
Thank you for coming.
If there's anything I can do to help, I will.
:20:23
Did you discover
what André was working on?
:20:25
No. The air ministry scientists
have been through all his papers.
:20:29
They didn't mean a thing to them.
:20:31
We couldn't decipher the ashes.
Nothing there either.
:20:34
Well, I've delayed all I can.
We've been quite patient with the lady.
:20:38
I'm afraid I shall have to ask for
a warrant tomorrow. The courts can decide.
:20:43
Tomorrow?
:20:45
The charge can only be murder.
:20:48
I'm sorry for you and the boy.
:20:50
But I cannot conceive of any verdict
except guilty, or guilty but insane.
