4. Judge Rousseau's Determination: Judge Rousseau, driven by ambition and seeking to gain recognition for his work, becomes fixated on capturing Bouvier and putting an end to his reign of terror. Rousseau sees an opportunity to make a name for himself by avoiding a simple insanity plea for Bouvier and proving that he is responsible for his actions.

7. The Captured Criminal: Despite Bouvier's efforts to evade capture, Rousseau finally apprehends him, allowing the legal proceedings to commence.
