Philippe!

Tell us about it.

In a minute.

Agnes? It's me.

Excuse me for being out of breath.

I've received a formal

position in the Law Society.

Law? What do you mean?

A total of only three people passed,

I got the highest single judgement.

Mama, he said that he was one of only three to

pass the examination for the Supreme Court.

Only three people? That's really great!

Well done, Philippe!

He has not done a good thing.

No.

Well, no one hears his plea.

No. His life is all bad.

In the resistance he killed many people.

After the war, he killed many people.

He continues to maintain silence.

What he has not said leads him

immediately to the guillotine.

The official trial is finished, judgements have

been made in the light, as far as possible.

It will do good to set an

example for those in the future.

Only in this way will

such incidents occur less.

That is my wish.

Is there anything you have

to say before the sentence?

A jacket.

A vest, a pair of pants.

A shirt.

A pair of shoes.

A pair of socks.

A belt.

- Got a ticket?

- Here.

Are you ready?

After this you can't

remove the handcuffs.

Well.

Go.

The prisoner is heading

for the corridors.

Hurry up and let him go.

Sentenced coming right now.

Clear the aisle.

Everybody leave the aisle.

Hurry up, go on.

Clear the aisle.

Everybody leave the aisle.

Clear the aisle.

Everybody leave the aisle.

There's a new one for

the death sentence.

They don't need to send so

many people to "the machine".

This scene has become a habit.

There's already two here,

there's not enough room.

It won't be crowded for long.

Being sentenced to death is very

common, there's killing everywhere.

It's not such a small place

here but perhaps for you it is.

Look alert. Sit down here.

Why did you do it?

Life here is so upsetting.

Isn't it, Gino?

This evening? Will it be this evening?

- I've already said I won't come here tonight.

- I only believe what the judge said.

I'm sympathetic to what you

say, but I can't do anything.

This isn't the case, Gino. It's only a

show, he can't give you more than that.

Worrying again? Don't

think about it so much.

"The machine" is in Toulouse.

Toulouse! Last time you

told me it was in Bordeaux.

Okay?

How long am I going to stay here?

You'll have plenty of time to

think about it, generally 600 days.

And we all have our own position.

For your own sake, you'd

better not look back.

Don't give us a bad impression.

Good night.

Not a bad impression.

What impression is there?

I simply don't need

to give any impression.

I, in particular, will be finished

before the rest of this period.

He's a good sort though.

Set your mind at ease.

It's day now.

But in the evening they

come from the other side.

Why are you worrying

this young man about it?

He'll come back again.

I don't want him to come back again.

You shouldn't mind.

Look past "it" and

this capital punishment.

I always wanted to protect my wife,

not poison her, that's not true.

Good evening.

Got anything to do?

- Nothing.

- But the gentleman sees the end of the day.

Five.

This will be sent out tomorrow

together with the others.

However, this package

doesn't have an address.

Here's the address.

Sante Prison? For an inmate?

But it's impossible for prisoners

on death row to receive parcels.

- Why?

- This is a provision of the prison.

They don't want to allow them there.

You can take it back,

I haven't marked it.

Then you just mail it to any person.

- It doesn't matter.

- To some unfortunate who needs it.

I'll just write an address, all right?

- I think he'll be waiting for this.

- I don't like to say.

But in any case I thank you.

Do you want to leave a name?

I think you should tell him what kind

of person I was to avoid this matter.

So I should say something to him?

Do you know how to do it?

I've talked to his mistress.

She was very agitated.

I don't have the right

to speak of the mistress.

Why, then, his wife left him.

It's not that his wife wants to become a mistress,

it's that he wants his wife to become a mistress.

But I do know that he was

not really keen on that kind.

How can I sleep?

You can't go to them and talk about it?

Obviously not.

Why did you move?

Do you think you it can

be put off another 10 days?

I ask you to help and tell

me that this is not really so.

I can't do anything. Good night.

Good night.

In this light, I never sleep.

I've got open space to walk.

How can you really sleep in this way?

Who would come?

Even if you say hello and have a word.

You're too quiet, so I'm disturbed.

If I could drink a glass of wine.

Why are you so tired of

the current situation?

He's often worried.

Can you understand this?

Not quite.

The town council, the political,

economic, cultural mess.

Everything's so peculiar.

What about you, also falling

into a trap like this?

You're here for murder too.

I don't think so, but

you're also a victim.

This is where you're wrong.

Don't give what he said a thought.

First of all, your family

thinks of you as such.

This week will begin some

movement and activity in the group.

Those are the rules.

I know nothing about these facts.

I'm going to sleep.

All right for you, I have

to wait until tomorrow comes.

Doctor!

You hear that?

No.

Hear it now?

Maybe not.

I heard footsteps in the corridor.

And also in my head.

Gino, look at the window.

A late night.

So begins a new day.

Now I can sleep.

This is the coach with the new inmates?

No, the guillotine.

I can hear a lot of

noise from the corridor.

It's putting psychological

pressure on you too.

I heard it from the left side of the

corridor. It's coming from the right.

It's just the guards walking.

Gino always has very good hearing.

He can hear voices coming from far away.

- It's very strange.

- He's always in a crazy state.

- A doctor couldn't explain this phenomenon.

- Will he come out?

Very serious?

For others, there is nothing.

He only caused trouble

for his wife and doctors.

The lawyer's come to ask

you for some information.

Hello, Le Guen.

Hello.

I hope you can establish a

file for each one of them.

These are supposed to have

government information.

Thanks.

- Did you come from the corridor?

- Yes.

Was there a coach?

- I wasn't paying attention.

- You should pay attention...

Enough Gino, go back to your place.

- Think.

- I didn't make out any coach.

Think about it well, was

it lined up, in a line?

I told you, no coach.

Yes, you certainly do not pay attention.

It is I who am too sensitive.

Excuse me.

Le Guen, first of all, I must ask

you to agree on this matter of murder.

It's no more than just

a joke, they always fuss.

Then I have to bring this

matter to a conclusion.

Just sign on the line!

Gino, you would like to

participate in a civic election?

This is a judicial procedure form.

I'll do as you say.

Sign here.

Make a cross here.

If you have been shot at, then an officer will
