8 Women Page #4

By coincidence.|And I was happily surprised.

Between the pages,|I found someone belonging to you.

Give it back then.

What did you find in that book?|-A letter to my brother, a draft.

To Marcel?

But you saw him every day!

This woman is making things up!

Unfortunately,|I save everything.

An old habit.

"Dear Marcel,

Don't hold anything against me...

for shouting at my mother about|the shares in your presence.

I had to claim my share,|so she wouldn't suspect anything...

about my feelings for you.

I'd love for you to have them.

I would do anything|to get you out of trouble,

but don't mock me again|together with Gaby.

I'll put this under your door.|Love, Augustine."

Lies! I despised Marcel.|He was a womaniser.

I mean, he had women everywhere!

He would have given my shares|to his mistresses.

She has the same kind of arrogant smile.|I'll get you for this!

Is that a threat?

A motive for murder and a threat|is too much for a single person.

I couldn't have killed him,|I was in my room all the time!

You went to the bathroom 5 times,|so you had 5 possible occasions.

The bathroom? Which bathroom?

Calm down, Augustine...

Don't touch me!

Bravo, aunt Pierrette, focussing|all attention on Augustine.

Well done. But I have to|ask you a few questions.

I'm listening.

You said you've never been here?|-yes.

You're lying and I can prove it.

I swear I haven't told them anything,|Pierrette.

What's this?|-Yes, mama.

They know each other and keep|in touch regularly.

They both like to play cards.|-Play cards?

What's this about, Chanel?

I might as well tell you.

Sometimes Pierrette comes to my|room and stays the night.

My God!

I admit. I came to talk to |my brother once.

Couldn't Chanel pass a |message?

I bet she came for money.|-I've never asked for money.

He spend it on himself then?|-He knew I was having difficulties.

He helped me a few times.|-I can't believe this!

Mommy, daddy could do as he please.|So what.

I can react can't I.

It was my money!|It belonged to me.

Your greed will kill you sooner or later.

Do hear that?|How dare she...

This woman is terrible.

To be perfectly clear|we must know exactly...

what everyone has been doing tonight.

Mother, where were you?|-I already told you: in my room.

Did you leave it?|-No. Well yes... once.

To see how Catherine was.|I thought I heard her door.

She was reading.|So I went back to bed.

Catherine, did you get up?|-I went to the bathroom.

That's what mommy heard. I didn't see anything.|-Didn't you hear anything?

I was too absorbed in my book.|I didn't pay any attention.

Aunt asked me if I wanted to turn the lights off.|-You called me all sorts of names.

Stupid kid!|-I'll get you.

Suzon, I forgot something.

I heard a strange sound.

I looked through Augustine's keyhole,|and I saw her...

standing in front of the mirror|holding something shiny.

I didn't think about it at first,|but now I'm sure...

she was sharpening a knife!

You nutcase!|That was my comb.

I was cleaning it.|-At 3 am.

Combs never sleep!|I can go get it.

No, Augustine. We believe you.

And you went to the bathroom 5 times?|Did you see anyone?

No one.|-You said you heard mother get out of bed.

That's right.

Mamy, seeing as you can|walk again:

Did you get up?|-No.

Wait, yes...|Around 1 am,

I went to the living room|to get my knitting.

I thought I heard a scream|in Marcel's room.

I didn't recognize the voice,|but I didn't worry myself.

I thought it was you, Gaby.

You hear someone scream and you|automatically think it's me. Thanks.

Louise, do you know anything about this?

No. When I took his tea,|he was all alone.

Did you see anyone?

Yes. Miss Augustine.

I thought you said you didn't see anyone?

I forgot. I went to get a drink.|-But you were sneaking around Marcel's room.

What happened?

You could have known if|you slept together.

Being judged by my |own children!

That's why I never had any.

A man never asked you,|say it like it is.

Chanel, when did you leave?

Around midnight.

Before or after the tea?|-Shortly after.

How shortly?|-I don't know.

Five minutes later.|I did some cleaning up.

Louise wanted to bring the tea herself.

Why did you wanted to that yourself?

Monsieur asked me.|That's why.

It's all becoming clear now, young lady.

I'd rather be accused of sin|than of murder.

Those two go hand in hand.|But I don't have to tell you that.

What are you insinuating?

And where were you tonight, Pierrette?

I was doing a personal visit|that is none of your business...

and that has nothing to do|with this murder.

Are you sure you didn't|see Marcel?

Yes, I'm sure.

So you are the last one that |saw my husband alive, Louise.

Is that serious?

I can be accused of murder?|-No doubt!

Than I rather tell.|Sorry, miss Pierrette.

I could have known.

When I brought him his tea,|his sister was there.

So, Pierrette. You've been lying.|Why were you with my husband.

I came to talk to my brother.|I was sad.

Why did you talk so loud?|You had a fight?

No. We even laughed.|-And mother thought it was me.

Excellent witness!

So you were following our conversation?

No, I left immediately,|and I took the serving tray.

Pierrette, what did you do after that?

We talked some more,|then I left.

I can confirm that. I saw her|through the kitchen window.

Did she say anything else?

I'll tell you if you'll|leave me alone.

She asked me to keep quiet|and she gave me 10.000 francs.

Which I regret, little bimbo.|-What?

You sleep with everyone don't you.|-You don't? Even with the same ones.

And why did you give me the money?|I heard her telling Monsieur:

Give me the money or I'll kill you.

No, I said:
|I'll kill myself.

No, I'll kill you.|-My poor Louise!

You have nothing to say.|You are merely a maid.

And you do? You are just a hooker.|-But I like it!

Stop it. You look like mad.

I've had enough of this!|I'm going to stop a car.

There is no longer any doubt.|The murderer is one of us.

It's one of the seven of you.

Hey, inspector Suzon,|you forgot to question someone.

We?|-Yourself.

Myself?|-Yes.

You now know what we've been|doing tonight,

but you didn't tell us|what you've been doing.

Nonsense.|She arrived this morning.

No she didn't, dear mother.|I saw Suzon here last night.

When?|-Around 4 am.

I opened my door and|I saw you entering our father's bedroom.

I didn't kill my father.|I swear.

Well try to explain anyway!|This is shocking news.

I took the train a day earlier.

Tonight I sneaked into the house.

I went up to daddy.|I had important news I only...

wanted him to know.

Without his approval,|I would have never returned.

He was great.

Poor daddy...

He would help me, and told me to go back|to the station to arrive according to plan.

I obeyed. That's all.

What was so important?

Tell me, dear!

I'm having a baby.

Madam! Madam!

What now? Weren't you going for help?

The gate is locked. We can't |get out. We're stuck here!

I shouldn't have told|you were already here.
