Why?
Madam... these letters spoke the truth.
Show me proof.
I only stayed in your father's employ...
...to try to put right, in so far as
my limited means would allow me to...
...the mistakes
I had been powerless to prevent.
Favraux's fortune,
like that of many others...
...has its origins...
...in the Panama scandal.
Your father was once a lowly bank clerk.
And...
...fate put him in possession...
...I would rather not tell you why...
...of some documents
that were very compromising...
...for certain high-ranking
politicians and financiers.
Thanks to these documents...
...he had no trouble
getting the necessary funds...
his first major business deals.
As early as 1882...
About time.
It will take three days.
Follow the doctor's instructions
to the letter...
...and do not leave him unguarded
for a moment.
My dear Jacqueline,
the gentleman is right.
Do not insist.
I have given it a lot of thought.
I am giving up my father's inheritance.
All I ask is that my daughter's share
be kept for her until she comes of age.
I am giving you a free hand.
Thank you.
My humble respects, madam.
But this is madness. Why?
Since the question of inheritance seems
to be of such great concern to you...
...it's only fair to give you the chance
to go back on your word.
Do as your feelings dictate.
In that case,
allow me to take back my freedom.
Sir's luggage has been loaded
onto the carriage outside.
Sir is free to leave
whenever he wishes to.
Thank you, Fernand. Goodbye.
Goodbye, sir.
Madam, I have come
to take my leave of you.
Goodbye, Vallires.
Thank you for everything.
Do not hesitate to call if you need me.
Thank you, Vallires.
You are my only friend.
I am going to feel very lonely.
Little Alice only left yesterday.
I am missing her already.
You mustn't worry.
Marie-Jeanne is a wonderful person.
And Loisy isn't that far away.
I know.
I suppose all mothers are like me.
Goodbye. Come and see me
from time to time. I'd like that.
I'll write to you to give you
my new address.
Goodbye, madam.
Well, well. The Favraux widow.
Please. That's not funny.
If you only knew how it felt to leave
the chteau with my wages in my bag...
...like a servant, when I was practically
the mistress of the house.
Don't be angry. I was only joking.
Do you think I want this?
He could at least have married you
and conked out afterwards.
Get your hands off me.
This is not a good time.
- Save yourself for tonight.
- What are we doing tonight?
- Going back to the chteau.
- What?
Listen, in his office are some documents
We've never seen a haul like it.
Have a look in there.
Hello! Hello!
Hello? Hello?
Speak normally or you'll regret it.
Jacqueline, help!
Help me, my dear!
Answer me, Jacqueline. Jacqueline!
Marie Verdier...
Get the chloroform!
Let's take her with us.
That will give us time to get her to talk.
My toolkit.
"I will rush to your aid.
Yours vigilantly, Judex"
That was Favraux's voice on the phone.
I'm sure of it.
It might've been a hoax.
What about the dogs?
And Judex's threatening
letters to Favraux?
Are they hoax es, too?
What if Favraux is still alive,
imprisoned by Judex?
Wouldn't it be worth trying to find him?
My marriage would suit you, too.
Think about it. If Favraux marries you,
assuming we can find him...
...when Jacqueline tells him
what you did to her last night...
She won't bother me for long.
Once I know
what's happened to her father...
It won't be long now.
What do you intend to do?
I need two strong men.
Go and warn Pierrot and Lon.
Tonight the four of us
will gather at Favraux's grave.
WHAT WAS ONCE:
FAVRAUX'S GRAVE...
Favraux!
BANKER FAVRAUX...
TO DEATH.
YOUR DAUGHTER'S ACTIONS
TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
JUDEX.
Where is he? I want to talk to him.
Later. You're still too weak.
You've had a near escape.
No thanks to him.
If you hadn't picked me up in time...
He might know
something about my son.
I was wondering that, too,
when I was pulling him out of the grave.
Just as I thought.
Favraux has vanished.
- First we must find Jacqueline.
- How will you do that?
She left her child
in the care of her nanny.
I'll get the address from the nanny.
Your turn.
Come in.
A telegram for you, Mrs. Aubry.
Thank you.
Mrs. Vivier.
My daughter has just had
a serious accident.
The nanny has sent me word.
I must go.
It might not be as serious as all that.
I'll look after the little one.
There she is.
She fell for the telegram.
Over to you now, Pierrot.
Have you got it?
Grab any papers
bearing Favraux's name...
...and any that talk
about banks or money.
We'll pick up the rest
on a trip to the country.
Got it. If I meet anyone,
I'll say I'm there for the plumbing.
A pigeon has just arrived.
Kerjean will take you to Loisy.
Check nothing has happened
to Marie-Jeanne Bontemps...
...who looks after a girl called Alice.
Get the other car ready for me.
I'm going to Paris.
Are you feeling unwell, madam?
Here, lean on me.
This woman doesn't look well at all,
Sister. Can I offer you my car?
Thank you, sir.
We'll take her to the clinic where I work.
Poor woman.
She doesn't look well.
- These townswomen aren't healthy.
- How true.
- She's not sinking.
- We should have put a stone in with her.
I want to see where she goes.
Ship ahoy!
There's someone in the water.
Mister! Mister!
There's someone in the water!
Quick, go and get help!
Let's hope she's dead, at least.
Follow them and verify it.
- Is she dead?
- No, she fainted.
Take her away to play.
This is not a sight for your eyes.
Telephone Marville
I'm on my way.
Get up.
Help, help, help!
It's the same woman.
- What's going on?
- This old banger!
- What's wrong with it?
- I don't know. It's broken down.
Have you seen an ambulance pass,
coming from Loisy?
No more than half an hour ago.
It went that way.
Thank you.
Keep an eye on the cars.
I'll take a look around.
Do you think there's anyone inside?
Look, it's deserted.
We'll be better off here than on the road.
Go and get the van
and come back for us.
All right, all right.
It's quite a walk, you know.
Stop!
Kill him. He saw me.
No!
My name is Pierre Kerjean.
That ring used to be mine. I gave it
to my wife the day of my arrest.
You are my father.
Traitor!
- I'm so glad you came.
- Rather late in the day.
Judex, this is my son.
I have forgiven him.
- Where are the others?
- The woman's in there.
Break down the door.
Two men drove you here.
They said they knew
of my devotion to your family.
You were delirious.
They left without further explanation.
The youngest of them
