Le champignon des Carpathes Page #4

when I go take a leak.

You didn't go out?

Are you suspecting me too?

Of course not!

Put out your cigarette. I already

told you not to smoke in bed.

Eric... what's wrong?

Nothing.

I can't sleep because of the storm.

Come to bed,

you'll catch a cold.

It reminds me

the bombardments in Brest.

When we were going down

to the cellar.

You can't figure how it was.

- I can a little.

I was 6.

I was alone.

Turn it off.

Turn it off!

It's for you.

What is it?

- A summoning from the cops.

- What are you gonna do?

- Go see them. What else could I do?

YOUR HUSBAND:

IS A MURDERER:

"I possibly got up around 5 a.m.

on the 14th of august

to answer the call of nature."

To the question "Why, during your

previous statement, didn't you speak

about a certain mushroom that

the victim willingly ingested

with a precise purpose?", answered:

"I didn't consider it useful

to reveal this detail.

Therefore, I thought to be under

the professional secrecy."

Is it correct?

Yes.

When it comes to murder, Dr...

Professional secrecy...

Whatever.

We're done.

You can sign.

I'm sorry to bother you with

all those questionings.

Professional necessity.

- It's all right, Judge.

Do you think you'll come to an end soon?

- You know as much as I do.

- Goodbye, Judge.

- Goodbye.

You're not planning a trip?

- What does it mean?

Nothing, Dr, but you don't only

have friends in this city.

- I don't understand.

- Malicious gossips, anonymous letters...

It's despicable, but I have

to reckon with it, against my wishes.

- You received anonymous letters?

- We always do in this type of case.

Everyone is suspect.

Don't take offence of it.

A woman is waiting with her little boy.

She didn't say her name

but I told her to...

- It's fine, thank you.

I came without an appointment,

if it's a problem...

It's all right, come in.

This way.

Mrs...?

- I better tell you now, I'm not the mother.

It's just because he's ill.

- What's wrong with him?

You know, I live in one of

the buildings behind the station.

- The parents' name?

- It's written "Mrs Vallin" on the door but

I never heard of a Mr Vallin.

You know what I mean?

If you have children,

you must take care of them.

She's never home.

But you can't say she's working.

Never home?

It's the same thing

almost every day.

A car come.

She put the TV on.

And the kid stays on his own.

So this morning, I hear the TV,

but louder than usually.

I'm a night-worker, you know.

So I dress up and come up.

That was too much.

I have rights too.

And what do I find?

The door open...

the mother gone, of course,

and the kid all alone.

You can't figure

how he was crying.

He was burning.

So I gave him an aspirin.

If you have children,

you don't let them all alone.

That's true, you can't do that.

Mum!

Good!

Pretty good!

You prefer like this?

It's not that bad.

Good work, guys!

What do you think, Anne?

Yeah, yeah...

You don't look good,

what's wrong?

Excuse-me, children,

I have a busy mind right now.

Let's get back to it.

- From the start.

- Of course.

You know,

newspapers are full of sh*t...

You don't know how much

this story bother him.

Sometimes, he totally flip out.

- What can you do about it?

He needs me.

Maybe more than I thought.

Come on,

he lost his baby teeth already!

Don't think about it.

- Why? Can't I drink?

- I didn't say anything.

You've seen all your patients?

- Yeah.

I don't know if you noticed it,

but there isn't a lot of people right now.

And you?

You're home early,

are you feeling sick?

I was done, that's all.

What kind of bullshit

they say in town?

- Read by yourself.

- No, I don't give a sh*t.

Up to you. As you can see,

there's nothing else but plain water, here.

What are you doing?

Get onboard.

- The night is falling.

- It's gonna be more romantic. Come on,

get onboard, I said!

They'll maybe arrest me.

What if I'm guilty?

- Why do you say that?

It's just a supposition.

That's my right, isn't it?

It's not funny.

Yet, I'm the last one

who saw her.

Who could came in

the workshop after me?

Any idea?

- I don't know...

The servant, the son...

Or the Holy Spirit!

Judge Forman isn't convince

like you I'm innocent.

It's normal.

He doesn't know you.

Because you know me?

You claim to know me!

You have no idea of what I can do.

You can't know it.

As a child, I wanted to kill my mother.

I never told you that.

You're afraid, isn't it?

- Eric!

Say it!

Say you're afraid of me!

What are you doing?

See how easy it is?

After, you feel free...

There's just the cops and the routine...

Get down, for Christ's sake!

Do you see there was someone

the other night?

So?

- He's sleeping in his room.

- Come with me.

Inspector! Come here!

Jesus, you shouldn't touch it!

With this rain, anyway...

Do you saw it already?

- No.

No! I told you I was

in the cellar fixing the boiler.

It's easy,

you just have to check.

You could had fix it

in the afternoon.

Of course.

You can always find the answer.

Why would I do that?

I've nothing against this doctor.

And let me tell you something.

If I had wanted to shoot him,

you have my word, I wouldn't had

miss him. Five in Indochina

in the paratroopers.

It's in my record, you can check.

I was a marksman.

You aged since then.

You lost your touch.

You're right, I'm short-sighted

and have shaky hands.

But there's something sure:

my door was open.

You told us that already.

Someone came

to get your gun.

You should be careful of thieves.

You know the job.

Since, 59,

I didn't even steal a pin.

I believe you for the pin

but not for the rest.

- What do you mean?

- From time to time,

you sold drawings signed

Linda Benson in Geneva.

You can't deny it.

We have proves.

I don't deny!

It was just some sketches

she gave me.

Gave?

You two really got along!

- I always told you so.

But you hide us something else.

Okay, I get the picture.

Yeah, I slept with her.

I f***ed her.

I shagged her all right with

my dirty ruffian's face!

You cops can't say the same.

And what does it prove anyway?

- You maybe were jealous.

- Jealous? Of whom?

Dr Calder.

- Hello, inspector.

- Hello, doctor.

You finished your statement?

- Yeah.

By the way...

Do you really think it's Kurt?

It's more than likely.

Everything is against him.

But it's hard to get a confession

with this kind of crook.

Yes, of course.

You can rest easy, tomorrow

everything will be back to normal.

Stop it, I said!

What's that?

Are you out of your mind?

What's with you?

Get off my back!

IMMINENT ARREST OF

LINDA BENSON'S MURDERER

A former paratrooper.

That's what come out of them.

I'm off.

Are you coming?

Come on.

Let's have a drink.

You didn't go to the hospital?

Betty.

What?

It's like with Betty.

I was 3 when my mother

bought it to me. She was pretty.

That was the kind of doll

they were making at the time.

Every kid had...

- Eric, slow down.

I couldn't take her outside.
