1:01:00
Quite!
1:01:02
You suspected Dr. Germain
1:01:04
but Dr. Monatte
accuses you of stupidity!

1:01:06
And incompetence!
1:01:23
So, you've won, you little fool!
1:01:26
If you were my kid,
I'd give you a good spanking.

1:01:29
Let me die. I want to die!
1:01:32
- What is it?
- A child nearly drowned.

1:01:35
- Accident?
- I'm afraid not.

1:01:38
This is unthinkable.
We must do something.

1:01:41
Is that you, Annette?
1:01:43
- Let me die!
- Why should you die?

1:01:46
- Because Daddy isn't my daddy.
- Who said so?

1:01:49
Daddy got a letter and Mommy left.
1:01:52
Go home like a good little girl.
1:01:54
It's not true.
1:01:56
Tomorrow I'll explain it all
to your Daddy.

1:01:59
The letter writer will be punished.
1:02:01
Take her home.
1:02:05
So, Germain, going on the warpath?
1:02:09
I'm sickened.
1:02:11
If I had a chance,
I wouldn't hesitate.

1:02:13
But if the police failed...
- They couldn't succeed.

1:02:17
They're looking for someone
with logical motives.

1:02:20
That's stupid!
1:02:22
A poison pen acts
on much more mysterious motives

1:02:27
that are incomprehensible
to the average man,

1:02:30
and even more so
to the average policeman.

1:02:35
In all the cases I've studied,
1:02:38
the culprits suffered
from the same complex:

1:02:41
All were more or less sexual perverts.
1:02:45
- Old maids.
- Yes, people like my sister-in-law.

1:02:49
Or widows, impotent men,
1:02:51
ugly old men, cripples.
1:02:55
A disability, even when hidden,
1:02:58
often leaves a secret wound
that can fester.
