:24:07
François, I didn't hear you.
:24:11
- You look tired.
- It's just the office. You know.
:24:14
- You shouldn't work so hard.
- How are you?
:24:17
I'm fine. I feel all right.
:24:20
I'm glad you came.
I wanted to ask you something.
:24:24
Of course, Hélène. Anything at all.
:24:35
How long do flies live?
:24:38
I don't know. I think a month, two months.
:24:43
The fly you were looking for was in my study.
Today.
:24:49
Did you kill it?
:24:52
- No.
- Well, you have it with you.
:24:54
- Give it to me. Please, give it to me!
- Hélène, I haven't got it here.
:25:01
You know now.
:25:03
What is this all about?
:25:06
- You haven't got it or you wouldn't ask.
- Yes, I have it.
:25:09
It's locked in my desk.
Now tell me what happened.
:25:12
- No, never. André wouldn't want me to.
- I know you're not mad. I want the truth.
:25:19
Either you tell me
or I'm going to give it to Charas.
:25:23
You swear you have it?
:25:27
Yes.
:25:28
If I tell you, will you promise to destroy it?
:25:31
- I can't do that until I know.
- Then I can't tell you anything.
:25:35
For your own sake you've got to tell me.
:25:37
You're all right or you can be all right,
perhaps.
:25:41
As soon as they examine it, they'll know.
:25:44
- And they'll know that you're not insane.
- No!
:25:48
For Philippe's sake, François, I beg you.
:25:52
Don't you see? I was pretending to be mad,
for Philippe's sake.
:25:58
Better I should be declared insane than he
be the son of a woman hanged for murder.
