"Point 2:
Germain is trafficking morphine

:23:03
and framing an innocent victim,
Marie Corbin,

:23:06
to whom I respectfully bow."
:23:08
What do you say?
- And Point 3?

:23:10
Of no importance.
:23:12
- Point 3: You're a cuckold.
- How would you know?

:23:15
I got an anonymous letter, too.
:23:17
All lies, but how unpleasant!
:23:19
- I don't agree.
- You find them pleasant?

:23:21
I meant the lies.
There's some truth to them.

:23:25
So I sell adulterated drugs!
:23:27
I meant the accused person
whose name appears in each letter.

:23:31
I wouldn't dare speak ill
of a colleague,

:23:34
but this morning we had a talk
which left me feeling uneasy.

:23:40
In my three years as deputy prosecutor,
this is my first real opportunity.

:23:44
You can't just arrest Germain.
:23:46
I mean investigating the hospital.
:23:49
Not on your life! I won't allow it!
Enough already!

:23:52
A physician can't fight
the public prosecutor.

:23:55
But your father can box your ears
if you get on his nerves!

:23:59
- If that's the case -
- Indeed, it is!

:24:01
All right, Papa.
But I know where my duty lies.

:24:04
You have only one duty, young man:
discretion.

:24:08
Our city has a fever.
:24:10
Take a look. I had some fun
plotting its temperature curve.

:24:14
Amusing, isn't it?
:24:16
In two days we've reached 101 '
:24:19
and still rising.
:24:20
You don't operate
until a patient's fever subsides.

:24:31
- What are you doing here?
- I was waiting for you.

:24:34
We can't talk at the hospital
due to the rumors.

:24:37
I wanted to apologize.
- Apologize?

:24:39
I was hard on you the other day.
:24:42
I thought you'd been reckless.
Now I know you're the victim.

:24:47
Can you forgive me?
:24:48
- Don't be silly.
- Someone might see us.

:24:52
What's the harm?
:24:54
There is none,
but we have to be careful.

:24:57
I was thinking, since we can
no longer meet in public,
