Let's start all over.

You come in when you hear:

"Here she comes".

Help me move the door.

I've got to leave town.

Can you manage the agency?

Make up your mind:

you fire me and now I'm promoted.

I'm in trouble.

I can't force you to help me.

What do you want me to do?

I'll explain.

"Heavens,

I'm terribly impatient.

"But I hear her footsteps.

Here she comes."

"Two bells chime."

"Heavens,

I'm terribly impatient.

"But I hear her footsteps.

Here she comes."

Put the lights out.

What's wrong?

The police let you go.

Only because they had to.

I must go to Nice...

to find out what

my wife was doing there.

To find out...

whom she was meeting,

everything.

If there was someone

besides Massoulier.

I must tell you something:

Massoulier was my wife's lover!

I know it,

but it's none of my business.

Where's the gun that was here?

In my pocket.

Oh, no!

It's crazy for you to run away,

but if it's to kill your wife,

I won't let you.

I'm not going to kill her...

she's already dead!

What?

She was killed

in our house this evening...

but I didn't do it.

Do you believe me?

It's hard to believe...

She came home at 7 p.m.

We had a big fight.

Then, this fool,

Santelli's assistant,

took me back to the police station.

I was very upset

but they allowed my lawyer

to come over.

He drove me home.

When he asked when my wife

was coming back, I lied...

and said she'd be back in 2 days.

Because of that stupid lie,

I couldn't ask him to help me.

My daughter's feverish.

I want to make sure she's okay.

Don't worry.

Calm down and get some sleep.

Do you believe me now?

- Would the cops believe me?

- No.

I have no choice.

I must dig

into Marie-Christine's past.

I must investigate in Nice

where she ran a beauty salon.

I've got to run.

No, you can't drive

in your condition.

I'll make you some coffee

or you'll fall asleep.

I'm much too keyed up

to fall asleep at the wheel.

Let me give you my opinion.

I think you should turn yourself in

as a temporary prisoner.

"A temporary prisoner!"

And I'll go to Nice

to investigate for you.

I know Nice very well.

I went to business school there.

It was the best school

for the Prevost-Delaunay system.

It was on Plaza Albert Ist.

I guess that's not very exciting.

Here's the coffee.

Damn it!

POLICE STATION:

Is "rue des Entrepreneurs"

on the way?

To the Garibaldi? It's not far.

Then, let's go:

It's a nightclub!

It wasn't a beauty salon?

It's been

the "Red Angel" for years.

If I were you,

I wouldn't set foot in there.

What do you mean?

You may not believe me,

but if you come in,

I won't wait for you.

It's Louison's joint.

- Who is she?

- I don't know...
