Hello?

Is anybody home?

Philippe Saint-Andre,
is he in?

Do you speak English?

Parlez anglais?

Quite the pepper gun
you got there, Madame.

Philippe...

Where is he?

Patrice: I would
consider that one

of Audrey's
warmer welcomes.

But she tells the truth,

I do not think Philippe
has ever married,

and frankly, I do not
know who would marry him.

Sam:
You haven't met Brigid.

Sadly,
I have met many Brigids.

She paid me
a lot of money

to make sure the kid
was handed over to her father.

She wasn't one to
part with money,

much less a lot of it.

So do you know where this
Philippe Saint-Andre is?

Who knows?
Philippe is a vagabond.

Sometimes he's here,
sometimes he's there.

So why the will
instructed you

to bring the girl
here is a mystery.

All I know is I was
sent a plane ticket,

first-class Pan Am to Istanbul,
to pick up the kid,

and two more tickets,
coach this time, to Marseilles.

And then so instructed,

you come all the way
to our little village,

just to knock on a door

and hand over the girl
to whoever answered.

I was told her father
would answer.

You did not wonder if the
child would even be welcome?

I was paid too much
to wonder.

This was strictly
a business matter

between you
and Miss O'Shaughnessy?

She didn't pick my name
out of a hat

if that's
what you're asking.

We knew each other.

I see.

When you say
"knew each other,"

you mean you knew
each other...well.

Well enough
so she trusted me.

You were lovers,
perhaps?

Oh, Jesus, you French.

-So yes?
-Briefly, didn't end well.

They never do.

Hearts break,
one moves on,

the other one becomes
lonely and bitter.

We didn't get that far.

-Why not?
-I put her in jail.

So, this
Brigid O'Shaughnessy,

she trusted you because
you put her in jail.

She trusted me because
I got her out of jail.

Got her out?

How?

I knew who to talk to.

A most useful skill.

And the reason you felt
so compelled to free her?

She was two years
into 20 when she got sick

and found out she was dying,
or so she thought.

Turned out
even her body could lie.

They paroled her and she
lived another four years

before she died
in that train derailment

outside Istanbul
a few months back.

Irony has always been
my favorite form of justice.

Not to mention
the time it saves you.

What was she doing,
may I ask, in Istanbul?

Antiquing.

After her release
from prison,

did you two pick up
were you left off?

It didn't last much
longer than the car ride

from the prison
to the motel.

Then she broke her parole
and lammed off to Europe.

You did not feel
as if no time had passed,

that despite all the
heartbreak and the bitterness,

you could still find
a small ember to reignite?

I have to say, Chief,

you've got a funny
kind of curiosity.

I am a police officer.

I am curious
about everything,

especially about men with guns
looking for trouble

or perhaps that bulge
in your coat

is a lollipop
for the little girl.

I'm looking for someone,
is all.

Then I have mistaken you

for the sort of man
who pays attention.

I couldn't tell you
what sort of man I am,

other than
I keep my promises,

particularly
when I'm paid to.

My advice...

take the child back
to the United States.

If Philippe Saint-Andre
is her father,

she's better off
an orphan.

All the same,
I need to find him.

And all the same,
I am suggesting, politely,

you look elsewhere.

Samuel Spade.

I don't suppose you know

I was always under

one just
threw them away.

Well, hello there!

Shall I take you and your
daughter back to the village?

She's not my daughter,
and it'd be great

if you could take us
anywhere but the village.

I understand.
Please!

Madame Huchet.

What?

Let's talk
in my office.

See this here?

You've got the early
stages of emphysema.

Meaning?

You have to quit smoking.

Forget what you read,

forget the TV commercials
with the sexy girls.

Cigarettes are bad
for you.

Am I dying?

No, but you're
killing yourself.

How much time
do I have?

Depends on you.

Stop now, you'll live
another 30 years.

Don't stop, you'll
live another 30 years,

but you'll be
in an oxygen tent.

Otherwise,
you're in great shape.

Emphysema.

Not pretty.

Mr. Spade?

How good to see you,
maestro.

As always,
do sit down.

Cigarette?

You don't mind
if I have one?

Not if you promise to blow
the smoke in my direction.

Your bells are a bit behind,
I have 10:24.

For over 300 years,

we sisters
climbed the tower

and rang
the bells by hand.

Then a salesman
arrives last month

and convinces me to have
our bells automated.

The mechanism
was installed last Friday.

Since then, the bells now
ring whenever they choose.

Maybe we're better off
not knowing exactly

how much time we've got.

Only if you aren't herding
children day until night.

How are the children?

Oh, thank the Lord,
very healthy and happy,

though, some prefer
their solitude.

There's plenty to be
said for solitude.

God loves her
and keeps her safe.

For his efforts
and yours.

As always, we are very
grateful, Mr. Spade.

A long time ago,
someone said to me

that money and gratitude
don't always go hand in hand.

A cynical someone,
no doubt.

They were the only
"someones" I knew back then.

Speaking of the past,

her father is coming home
to Bazuel.

You don't say.

I assumed
that he was dead,

but the dead
don't write letters.

He has written several,

all confirmed
by his mother

to be in Philippe's
own hand.

You've spoken
with Madame Saint-Andre?

Audrey has become
very attentive

to her granddaughter.

Once a week,
she brings her clothing

she has sewn herself.

You didn't think this was
maybe something I should know?

I'm telling you now
so that you are aware

that he will be
here soon.

Audrey could have written
those letters herself.

To what purpose?

The girl's rich.

I assume
you mean spiritually.

This isn't exactly
the Hotel Georges V.

There's a trust fund
full of money

that can only be described
as ill-gotten.

Every dime goes to Teresa
when she turns 18,

which I'm sure
Philippe knew,

given his part in
separating said money

from its rightful owners.

Oh.

Philippe Saint-Andre
is a thief?

What a surprise.

He stole the money with
the help of Teresa's mother,

who apparently knew
Philippe well enough

to put the money in
Teresa's name and not his.

And you were involved
in this how, Mr. Spade?

Peripherally.

Philippe has always
denied paternity

and until evidently,
very recently,

his mother
has never acknowledged

her granddaughter's
existence.

But, now as Teresa
gets closer to 18,

he's writing letters and
she's knitting pullovers?

The war changed
a lot of people.

Very few for the better.

GrandmamanAudrey
is up to something.

I always hoped that,

with time,
Teresa would warm to you.

I sent her mother
to rot in prison

and her father
to die in Algeria.

It's gonna be
a long wait.

But she knows
that you care about her.

Keeping a promise isn't
the same thing as caring.

What I promised was
to bring the girl to Bazuel.

Yes, well,
as the good book says,

"He who promises
runs in debt."

Is that Old Testament
or New?

The Talmud.

Aren't we full
of our own surprises?

I do so enjoy our chats,
my dear Mr. Spade.

Gabrielle: How would
you like to earn a fee

on top of what you're
already being paid?

Sam:
Doing what exactly?

What you're going
to do anyway,

talk to
Philippe Saint-Andre.

Just talk to him?

He's blackmailing me.

Over what?
You kill your husband?

Okay.

My husband was a Nazi.

He was German?

Worse, he was French.

Jacques was
a collaborateur.

And Philippe is threatening
to tell the authorities?

Not only them,

the newspapers,
the international press.

Why would they care?

I'm sure
a lot of partisans

killed a lot of Nazi
collaborators back then.

And their children.

That was 10 years ago.

What's different now?

Algeria.

Stopping Hitler was
something we could all agree

was worth
whatever the cost.

There is, however,
far less accord

about our recent
conflict.

And it certainly
doesn't help

when both sides are locked
in some sick competition,

committing one atrocity
after another.

I grew up thinking

that when my family went
on vacation to Laurent,

we were going to
another part of France.

And what do you
feel about it now?

It only matters what
people think I feel.

Just like
it doesn't matter

that Jacques
had to be punished

for betraying
the town of his birth,

for aiding in the suffering
of his old friends,

just so he could
sleep in his own bed,

keep making his wine,

or drive his
burgundy-colored car.

But now, after this war,
if you're French,

the only thing
that matters

is that we punished
him ourselves.

We?
Does that mean Philippe

is blackmailing
more than just you?

This is about me.

I don't want the people
of Bazuel involved, please.

I won't allow
the people here

to live through such misery
all over again,

which is
what will happen

if Philippe carries
through on his threats.

They're not afraid
of jail.

They're afraid of being
remembered as war criminals,

especially
by their children.

I'd like to help you,

but if I'm to get
my current fee,

I gotta sort out
what to do with her.

Man of conscience.
I understand.

Man of many debts,
more like.

To be honest with you,

the sooner
I get her parked,

the sooner
I can move on.

I have a thought
on that,

which will take
a few days to work out.

Maybe I can pay you
to just think

about how I can deal
with this situation

without killing anyone.

Oh, there's plenty
of ways

of getting rid of a man
without killing him,

especially when
there's a war on.

Interesting.

Your local constable
made it pretty clear,

he wants me to pick
another place to be.

So stay with me.

In the carriage house.

♪

George: Hello.

My name's
George Fitzsimmons, sir.

What can I do for you,
Mr. Fitzsimmons?

Is Madame LaVarone home?

No, I'm afraid not.

Ah, any idea when
she might return?

When the sun goes cold.

I beg your pardon?

She's no longer
with us.

Oh.

I see.

I'm not selling.

Good,
and I'm not buying.

I could never afford
such a lovely property.

That makes two of us.

What did you want
with my wife?

Wife?

Oh, dear.

I am an idiot.

My condolences.

I'm -- I'm --
I'm so sorry.

I had no idea
she'd remarried.

Did you know her?

Yes, quite a while ago.

A young boy right
after the World War.

See, my father was
a landscape painter.

Syngin Fitzsimmons.

Well, Madame LaVarone allowed
him to paint on the estate.

The -- the ravine.

The vineyard and cows.

Oh, yeah. There's a painting
hanging in the library.

Yes, it's a gift of
gratitude from my father.

See, we lived in the carriage
house for three months.

Still remember
the day we departed.

I was desolate, sobbing.

I loved being here.

Well, to tell you
the truth,

I did have a bit of a heart
flutter for the madame.

Understandable.

I'm wondering Mr...

Spade.

Gabrielle Spade.
Think of that.

You were wondering what,
Mr. Fitzsimmons?

It's...

Well, I am now
an artist as well.

And you want
to paint here.

If my clumping around won't
be too much of a disturbance?

Not at all.

Come clump
whenever you want.

As long as you're quiet
and I never see you.

Good, consider me just
another cow in the pasture.

We sold the cows

right after the carriage
house burned to the ground.

Morning.

Oh, Helena...

How do, Mr. Spade?

George.

What's the matter,
Jean-Pierre?

You got lost
in the dark last night?

Maybe you forgot you were
gonna stay off my property.

Your property.
Oh, Jesus.

Have you been sitting
there since last night?

What are you talking about?
I wasn't here last night.

Then who was?

How would I know?
I wasn't here.

Philippe Saint-Andre.

Did you lend him
your bike?

Sometimes
he just takes it.

He's an old friend
after all.

Oh. With friends like that,
who needs friends?

Jean-Pierre.

There's some things you just
don't ever want to do.

We have all heard
the stories.

What a tough guy
you once were.

There's no such thing.

I wonder.

Are they true stories,

or just things you tell
a woman, like my wife?

Hey, wait,

I have a business proposition
for you, Spade.

Do not laugh at me.

Then don't be ridiculous.

I'm very serious.
Buy my half of the health club.

You mean
Marguerite's half?

You talk to her
about this?

She never has to know.

Funny thing about drunks,
they think they make sense.

You buy me out,
I disappear.

You get the whole club and my
wife completely to yourself.

What makes you think
that I want Marguerite,

or she wants me?

Think about it.

You tell your old
friend Philippe,

he wants to talk to me,

he can come and harangue me
to my face

like everyone else.

Hello, Mr. Spade.

Mrs. Devereux.

Drink?

It's a little early,
don't you think?

Or a little late, depending
on one's point of view.

Last night I thought
I could hear the party

all the way
up at my place.
Did you now?

But maybe that was just
you and Jean-Pierre

throwing bottles
at each other.

Did he hit you?

Maybe I hit him first.

I can take care
of myself.

He came by this morning
on his motorcycle.

For once, let's not
talk about Jean-Pierre.

You should have
come in last night.

Full house,
standing ovations.

You sure
this is right?

Like I said,
we had a full house.

Your husband already thinks
I stole the joint.

Jean-Pierre thinks you
stole more than the club.

If he only knew.

But the club is not his.
The club is mine.

Ours.

Is this what
set him off?

Jean-Pierre
doesn't need much.

You feeling all right?

I'm fine.
Never better.

The other night,
I'm walking by the cemetery

and I see you inside.

Evening's a nice time
to do that.

Must be, as you are
there every night.

Oh, you go by the
cemetery that often?

I'm shopping for a plot.

Two years
have passed, Sam.

I stopped looking at
calendars and mirrors

a long time ago.

Patrice.

I'm watching my weight.

Watching it do what?

You might want to put
a pin on Mr. Jean-Pierre

and Madame
Marguerite Devereux.

They had another
battle royal last night.

I know, I talked to her.

Sometimes I wish
they'd just kill each other

and give the rest of us
some peace.

Jean-Pierre hasn't been right
since he was discharged.

The war has come home.

Sooner or later,
they always do.

This one, this Algerian
fiasco, is different.

But Jean-Pierre is a model
citizen compared to others.

I don't suppose
you've heard the good news.

We're getting
a bowling alley?

Philippe Saint-Andre has
apparently returned home.

Do I have to worry
about you and Philippe?

If you don't watch out,
Patrice,

you're gonna burn in hell.

I'm a goalist.

So to many,
I'm already there.

Answer my question.What's to worry about?

We've discussed two different
men who want you dead,

and my breakfast
hasn't yet arrived.

Yeah, but only one of
those men is a sociopath.

One is enough.

I told you back then

that your solution
was no solution.

Yeah, but you weren't
paying me.

Gabrielle was.

I know what you mean.

You were in the army,
Mr. Spade?

No, I was
a conscientious objector.

You don't believe in
killing your fellow man?

Oh, I think there's plenty
of men worth killing,

as well as plenty of wars
worth fighting.

I'd just
rather choose myself.

Like the bad penny
he is,

Philippe Saint-Andre
has snuck back into town.

How can I help?

You still spending time

with that little
redheaded number?

Uh...
which would that be?

Redheads are all
I spend my time with.

I'm talking about the
redhead you brought to dinner,

the one who works
as the General's secretary.

I need you to eyeball
Philippe's service file,

his activities in Algeria
and everything since.

I don't want you
or the redhead

to get in to any trouble
over this.

Your grandmother
would kill me.

Well, she always said that
Saint-Andre was a bully,

that he likes
to hurt people.

His special gift.

And that he was
blackmailing your wife

before she was
your wife.

Gabrielle had some difficulties
with Philippe, yes.

So you sent him away?

Well, I convinced him
he might live longer

by going off to war.

I'll see
what I can find.

Philippe: Stay away
from Teresa.

Well, if it isn't
father of the year.

I mean
what I say, Spade.

She doesn't want you
going near her.

I hear your mother's
taken up knitting.

If only you knew half as much
as you thought.

I'd invite you over here
for a drink to explain it all,

but I'm guessing you're up
to your neck in shit.

Mind your
own fucking business.

Philippe?

Patrice:
I told you yesterday

that Philippe
had returned.

I asked you
if I had to worry.

And now
I'm telling you, yes.

No, you are telling me

that you received a phone call
from Philippe Saint-Andre,

which is I admit,
concerning,

but not overly so.

And then you say
that during this call,

you heard a gunshot,
fired by whom?

Fired at him?

I am saying that
Philippe was in a room

where a gun was fired,

either by him or at him.

And I would assume
that you,

legendary bloodhound
that you are,

would've already
leapt out of your chair

and be sniffing the
countryside in search of him.

Your cheap canine
comparison aside,

I do consider myself
expert on all things

Philippe Saint-Andre.

And I am telling you that
the man will not be found

unless he wants
to be found.

So what you're an expert at
is waiting.

Oh, so now you insult
my professionalism?

Maybe just your courage.

My courage has
never been in doubt.

I've got the wounds
to prove that.

Unlike some of us.

And now you insult
my war record?

One has to have
first fought in a war

to have a war record.

I thought we promised to
only have this conversation

when we're drunk.

I'm hungover.

Does that count?

Tell me, Patrice,

how would you feel if
Philippe hurt someone?

Depends on the someone.

Okay, I will put my
best man on the search.

Your best man? Does that mean
your idiot brother?

Is nothing good enough?

Maurice is
an excellent detective.

Maurice couldn't find water
if he fell out of a boat.

Don't make me say it.

What? That we've been through

That you owe me.

You got that backwards,
haven't you?

You live here

actually happened.

The people who shot him,

Maybe the monk.

He came right after
Papa left.

He started banging on

He wanted to see

This monk,

Ugly face with a --
with a raspy voice.

Big nose, brown eyes?
One of those floppy hoods?

-You know him?
-I've seen him.

What did he want

I don't know.

He barged in and he

She told him to get out,

name in vain and then,

and then he hit her.

I don't know.

Everything was
so confused after that.

Everyone hid.
Not everyone.

You came here, why?

'Cause I'm the oldest
and the fastest.

Yeah, but why come here
and not the Gendarmerie?

He frightens me.

You stay here.
Don't move.

Sorry to wake you.

There's a problem.

Helena will be here
in a minute.

I'm gonna go check
things out.

If trouble comes,
read the book.

-Terribly sad.

Man: do you still
possess a working pistol?

♪

Spade: Anyone who wants
to shoot me

will have to bring
their own gun.

Get down!

Could Jean-Pierre
have done this?

Philippe could have
taken the shot.

Man: You have many enemies.

I'd like you
to meet my mother.

You either saw something
you shouldn't have seen,

or you know something
you shouldn't know.

Philippe shows up
with a kid.

The boy is the hub
of a many-spoked wheel.

That sounds like something
you read in a fortune cookie.

We all pretend,
Mr. Spade.

If I want you dead,
I just have to wait.

Mr. Spade, do you have any
specific information

you want to share?Spade: They want the boy.

Everyone from the Vatican
to French intelligence

to the CIA
is after this kid.

Woman: Mr. Spade,
you want to be left alone.

And yet, sadly,
our pasts are portable.
