- [Speaker 1] We are afraid. Two brutal murders in two days. They sent us the famous Chief Inspector Maigret. What has he achieved? Nothing. Resoundingly nothing.
- My job isn't what it was. Or, I know what I was.
- [Louise] I will not let you use me to get at one of my patients.
- I wouldn't dream of it.
- [Speaker 2] I think he needs to be taken down a peg. What do you think?
- I don't think anything. He works for you, not me.
- Yes, that's right.
- He trusted his usual wild intuitions, and this time, finally, his luck ran out.
- How can you be so cruel? Okay. Take it easy. I used to know that if I went out on a limb on a case, there wouldn't be someone behind me swatting at a branch. If I can't make a difference, then what's the point?
- [Speaker 2] You just always have to side with the underdog, don't you, Maigret? That's your nature.
- I try to understand people. That's my nature.
- He will do what he believes is right, whatever the cost.
