After all, I'm just a man. 733 01:23:45,285 --> 01:23:49,221 She would undress at night, without drawing the curtain... 734 01:23:50,190 --> 01:23:53,682 And so I... used to watch her with that spyglass. 735 01:23:54,528 --> 01:23:56,325 I couldn't help myself... 736 01:23:56,830 --> 01:23:59,765 She'd wiggle and ride on the floor, half naked, and I... 737 01:24:00,233 --> 01:24:03,361 ...I thought I'd go mad, watching her move like that. 738 01:24:04,504 --> 01:24:09,203 But I just waited all day for that moment to come at night. 739 01:24:10,177 --> 01:24:11,804 And then, that night... 740 01:24:13,647 --> 01:24:16,115 I saw her put some money into a box. 741 01:24:18,986 --> 01:24:20,977 She seemed quite upset. 742 01:24:22,889 --> 01:24:27,417 It began to rain, and as I moved the spyglass, I saw a man. 743 01:24:30,497 --> 01:24:34,297 I couldn't see as well as before, but... 744 01:24:34,835 --> 01:24:39,101 It looked as if he pushed a cushion down over her face. 745 01:24:39,673 --> 01:24:42,665 By this time, the spyglass lens was covered up by raindrops, 746 01:24:43,210 --> 01:24:45,735 in fact the rain formed a curtain, 747 01:24:45,979 --> 01:24:49,142 so I just couldn't make anything out clearly. 748 01:24:49,383 --> 01:24:52,614 Some minutes later, that man got out of the house. 749 01:24:53,820 --> 01:24:56,186 He was carrying her body over his shoulder. 750 01:25:00,394 --> 01:25:04,490 I stood there, by the spyglass. I didn't know what to do. 751 01:25:06,299 --> 01:25:07,926 Sometime later I saw him come back, 752 01:25:08,135 --> 01:25:11,798 He searched around the house, as if looking for something. 753 01:25:19,679 --> 01:25:21,909 He went over to the cupboard and opened it... 754 01:25:23,817 --> 01:25:25,648 ...then he bent down and picked something up. 755 01:25:30,757 --> 01:25:33,055 It looked to me like a pair of boots. 756 01:25:33,860 --> 01:25:38,354 Women's shoes, anyway... Then he moved off suddenly. 757 01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,299 I tried to follow him with the spyglass, to see who he was. 758 01:25:47,441 --> 01:25:49,204 But I wasn't able to see, unfortunately. 759 01:25:51,812 --> 01:25:55,942 There were 5000 pounds in that open and empty house... 760 01:25:56,616 --> 01:26:01,280 I thought..."It's not like you're stealing it, really..." 761 01:26:01,788 --> 01:26:04,382 It would have been a huge temptation for anyone. 762 01:26:04,925 --> 01:26:09,225 I took the money meaning to give it back at the right time. 763 01:26:09,496 --> 01:26:12,590 All right, never mind...

It was too dark. 770 01:26:33,854 --> 01:26:35,321 Was it him, that night? 771 01:26:36,690 --> 01:26:39,158 Well, it could have been even him... 772 01:26:39,259 --> 01:26:41,750 Otherwise, how could he have known about the money? 773 01:26:42,095 --> 01:26:43,995 From the newspapers, for instance. 774 01:26:49,436 --> 01:26:51,666 - Thank you very much, Inspector. - A pleasure. 775 01:27:30,310 --> 01:27:35,304 All right, Smith...

I lured him into my clinic by offering 917 01:41:09,595 --> 01:41:13,156 to treat him for free, but I couldn't get anything out of him. 918 01:41:38,858 --> 01:41:41,656 I wrapped some slabs of ice around Nicole's body, 919 01:41:42,228 --> 01:41:46,392 and I threw her into the freezing sea to delay decomposition. 920 01:41:48,734 --> 01:41:51,703 Then I went back to the cottage to look for the diamonds, 921 01:41:52,338 --> 01:41:56,274 but I couldn't do anything, that damned Frenchman was there. 922 01:41:58,310 --> 01:42:01,404 He was looking at a pair of boots I had bought for Nicole. 923 01:42:01,747 --> 01:42:04,978 They were just like a pair I had bought for Vanessa. 924 01:42:05,518 --> 01:42:10,114 I fancied them... I liked my women to wear them. 925 01:42:11,357 --> 01:42:12,847 I didn't go back that night. 926 01:42:13,692 --> 01:42:17,423 I planned to return after Nicole's body had been found, 927 01:42:17,930 --> 01:42:21,422 and I had established an utterly foolproof alibi. 928 01:42:22,034 --> 01:42:24,127 But I hadn't taken into account my wife. 929 01:42:24,603 --> 01:42:28,061 First of all, she tried to buy off Nicole with 5000 pounds, 930 01:42:28,441 --> 01:42:31,842 then she tried to kill me and take over the situation. 931 01:42:32,211 --> 01:42:35,544 But she missed. And when she merely wounded me, 932 01:42:35,748 --> 01:42:37,773 she botched her plans, complicating matters, 933 01:42:37,917 --> 01:42:40,818 at the same time handing me an unexpected, iron-clad alibi. 934 01:42:40,953 --> 01:42:43,581 So you recognized your wife as the would be-murderer? 935 01:42:43,756 --> 01:42:46,782 Of course, from the boots... And although she didn't know 936 01:42:46,926 --> 01:42:49,360 I recognized her, I had to kill her, otherwise 937 01:42:49,495 --> 01:42:51,827 she would have blackmailed me for the rest of my life. 938 01:42:52,431 --> 01:42:55,423 Well... since they won't be of any further use to me, 939 01:42:55,568 --> 01:42:58,036 I might as well hand over to you the real jewels. 940 01:42:59,138 --> 01:43:02,107 - The realjewels? - My dear Inspector... 941 01:43:02,541 --> 01:43:06,341 Do you think I'd kill Nicole before I got hold of them? 942 01:43:06,745 --> 01:43:09,009 The diamonds you found are fake. 943 01:43:09,348 --> 01:43:12,408 I replaced the real ones some days after Nicole's death. 944 01:43:12,918 --> 01:43:14,977 So where's all the good stuff, then? 945 01:43:15,488 --> 01:43:19,254 Over there, in the fireplace.
