All language subtitles for 1963.Les femmes dabord (en)

Sir, your invitation, please?

I'm sorry, sir,
but this is a private party.

Good! I hate crowds.

I'm afraid Mr. Griffin
is only receiving his friends.

What a scatterbrain!

Good evening, Juliette.
Thank you for getting me an invite.

Do you know Wanda?

- Your new--
- Associate.

Wanda, allow me to introduce
Mr. Donati, our future partner.

Potential partner!

- Have you spoken to Griffin about me?
- Not yet. I just arrived.

It's very important.

I received a letter
from my firm this morning.

I need the contract
or I go back to New York.

Please excuse me for one moment.

I'll take care of it. Here he is.

May I speak with you, Juliette?

Oh, I'm sorry! Do you know where David is?

Mr. Griffin is over there.

Thank you!

No, David. I already told you.
Please don't push.

Juliette, please be reasonable!

You've read the contracts.

Merging with Donati
would triple our turnover.

This company is my husband's life's work.

- If he were alive--
- Enough of that!

He'd never sell to a foreign company.

Don't get upset, Juliette.
You hold a lot of shares.

I'll buy half of them from you
at a very high price.

You'll still own one quarter.

- And you the majority.
- Yes.

You know what I think.

- Are you refusing?
- Yes.

Juliette, up until now I've been

extremely patient with you.

Don't try me.

Goodbye, David.

Did you talk about me?

No, it wasn't the right time.

Having issues?

I don't know yet.

He's plotting something.

I never have been a business woman.

I can see that.

My husband dealt with everything.

But since the car accident
I have to do it all alone.

May I?

I used to be a fakir.

I see trouble ahead...

But you will prevail
with the help of a dark-haired man,

a qualified professional
with a slight accent.

- Is that so?
- Oh, yes!

- I don't believe in predictions.
- I do... in mine.

Trust me, Mr. Donati. Give it three days.
She'll change her mind.

Good evening, David.

Excuse me.

Were you invited, Geneviève?

You never invite me now, darling.

Do you want money?

Money isn't everything.

Then there's nothing left to say.

Well guess what? I still want to talk.

Geneviève, I'm not one for idle talk.

Duly noted.

Fine. I'll call tomorrow.

Goodbye, dear friend,
and thank you for coming.

To break into the French market,
Webster Electronic

is prepared to make big concessions.

- Yes, yes.
- And cheaper than the Japanese!

- My office, tomorrow at three o'clock.
- Thank you!

Hello?

Geneviève Lebrun speaking. Are you alone?

Yes, I'm alone.

I must see you. Immediately.

It's about David Griffin and your husband.

Come to my house,
57 avenue du château, Le Vésinet.

I'll be there in half an hour.

I was worried! I thought you'd left.

I'm going home.

Really?

Meetings with businessmen are always dull.

Let's go elsewhere.

No, I'm tired.

Take me to the taxi station.

I can easily take you home.
It's on my way.

Thank you for bringing me to Griffin.
You've done me a big favor.

Juliette!

We should try and get to know one another.

You're so very kind.

I'm tired, Bobby. I'm falling asleep.

I'll take care of you.
I'll sit by your bedside

and sing you a lullaby. Whatever you want!

Some other time.

- When? Tomorrow night?
- I'll call you.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Sweet dreams.

What's this, you nincompoop?

Can't you be more careful?

I think you'll find--

My fender is dented!
I want an accident report.

This is where it gets violent.

You tell him Gérard! Go on!

He's had one too many lemonades.

Oh! Gérard!

Did you sleep well?

Listen, Bobby.
There's someone I need to see.

Some men have all the luck.

A woman. Goodnight.

I'll take you.
No questions asked, I promise.

I'll wait here for you.

- If that's what you want.
- I'd love to.

To wait is to hope.

Please excuse the mess.

I was wondering just now where we've met?

At the office.
I was David Griffin's secretary.

I'm sorry for being pushy,

but I really had to see you
before leaving.

I'm leaving France.

I realized it was best for me

in every respect.

David Griffin murdered your husband.

Paul? Murdered? But why?

Your husband found out that

David's import-export business was
a cover up.

He's the biggest drug trafficker
in Europe.

Your husband was going to the police.
David intercepted the car.

And everyone thought it was an accident.

- Do you have any proof?
- I have all the proof!

Proof of the crime
and the drug trafficking.

But I need money. A lot of money.

Anything! But I don't have any on me.

I'll write you a credit note.

The proof is with a friend,
Marianne Lambert.

She lives in Lyon.

Tell her I sent you.

She'll give you a package

in exchange for ten million francs.
Here's her address.

You've known for a year
that David killed Paul.

Why didn't you say anything before?

I loved David. I was a coward.

Now he just wants rid of me.

Hello, police?

Juliette?

Are you okay?

I was hit by a man.

Chivalry's gone to the dogs!

Bobby!

No need to call a doctor.

They didn't waste any time.

Mind the lettuce! It's fragile.

What's going on here, officer?

Nothing. Move along, please.

Oh, right.

I said no trouble!

How could I know

Juliette Jordan would be there!

I did what I had to!

This smart guy wanted to frame Juliette

and called the police.

Geneviève had already talked.

How much does she know?

Right. You're going to take someone...

Le Gaucher. And bring me Juliette Jordan.

Don't come back without her.
And this time, Lupi, no funny business.

583, St-Romain.

I'd like to speak to
Marianne Lambert, please.

When is she due back?

This evening?

You don't know what time?

No, its personal.

Thank you.

More on the crime in Le Vésinet.

The police have checked the apartment

of victim Geneviève Lebrun

and found a woman's fingerprints.

They are currently examining address books

that were hidden
in the young woman's writing desk.

Ten minutes I've been here!

You have to be patient with the strikes.

What strikes?

The transport strikes!
Don't you listen to the radio?

Hey! hey! hey!

The cheek of it!

Okay, boss.

I assure you I won't let Griffin go until

he signs the purchasing order.

It's in the bag. Okay. Bye.

Now that's what I call keeping in shape!

Hello, you.

It's clearly working on the pectorals!

The rest is perfect.

One day I'll have to ask
you for private classes.

Okay.

But only if you get rid of that,
that, and all the rest.

Then what's the point of staying in shape?

May I have a drink?

Of course! But this is the only
fruit juice I have.

It's not ideal for your diet.

Never mind! It's the holidays.

Then let's make the most of it.

Take a seat.

This is a funny place you have.

I rented the place furnished
from a Swedish man.

You have some strange things here.

- I sell those. Cheers!
- Cheers!

- To your loves.
- Cheers.

This is for detecting uranium.

And this...

is for those who sleep in separate rooms.

What are you doing tomorrow evening?

Shall we have dinner?

You must know about a lot of things!

Many things and not just those
in the catalogue.

- Sounds like an interesting job.
- Fascinating!

- We work with satellites.
- Really?

And there are snack bars too.

So what about tomorrow?

Well...

- Who is it?
- Juliette.

Just a second.

I'm sorry, kid. I have an important visit.

The tax collector! See you later, okay?

Hello, Bobby.

Welcome to my humble bachelor pad.

Bobby.

Two of Griffin's men came to my house.
I had to escape.

If you have any trouble,

you know where to come. Here.

What's wrong?

Marianne Lambert isn't home.

She won't return until tonight.

You need to take me to St. Romain.
Immediately!

The police are looking for me.

If they arrest me,
Griffin will have time to hide the proof.

He'll go to any lengths.

To think I was hoping to work with him.

Bobby, you're the only one I can trust.

That's the first time a woman
has told me that.

I think I might like it.

In any case, you can count on me.

Let's get things straight,
Mr. Bobby Carraud.

I'm asking you to take me to St. Romain

and to keep me safe on the journey.
That's all.

I'll pay you, by the way.

In short, you're hiring me
to be your bodyguard.

All right. When do we leave?

Right now.

Right now?

All right.

I must be in St. Romain tonight.

Winter sports... Côte d'Azur... Cruise...

Always prepared!

Are you going to leave just like that?

Without a gun?

I have two. Semi-automatic.

That's them!

- Who is it?
- France Gas.

- Meter reading.
- Just a minute.

It can't be. They came yesterday.

Wait one second.

Come in!

If it's for me, I'll have medium rare.

You'll have to come back for the meter!

I'll only be a minute.

I'll give you 20 seconds to disappear.

Thanks for everything and my apologies.

Are you always like this with the tax man?

He wanted to give me a fine, ten percent!

Oh, Bobby...

It's all sorted.

My neighbor is an intellectual.

She understands. Let's not waste any time.

Are they downstairs?

We'll take the back exit. It's quicker.

I'm used to it now.

Follow the white Cadillac.
First street on the right.

They'll leave us alone now.

Would you be so kind as to put this
in the glove box? It'll ruin my pockets.

St. Romain is not far from Vienne,
on the Isère River.

Yes, but if we take route seven
it'll be faster.

TRANSPORT: TOTAL GRIDLOCK

It's outrageous! I have to get to Valence!

What are we going to do?

There's nothing I can do about it!

Calm down!

We'll take care of you.

- Where are you going, sir?
- Lyon.

Do you have any room?

- Yes!
- Thank you, sir!

Three spots to Lyon up for grabs!

Hurry!

No! We don't want a waif in the car!

Let's take someone, Bobby.

If David's men see we're not alone,

they won't dare.

Wait a minute, ma'am! Just a second!

I can't fix everything. Off you go!

Calm down, ma'am.

Excuse me, sir. Where are you going?

Vienne.

Would you mind taking a few?

Yes, but only three.

Thank you.

Three spaces for Vienne!

What do you want me to do?

There's no way we're taking anyone.

Why does he get to go?

He's going to Vienne, sir.

Thank you, sir.

I love animals but
there's no space in the front.

Easy does it!

Excuse me, sir?
Do you think if you squeeze up

you might have room for this gentleman?

Thank you, sir.

Careful of the dog!

We're going to Vienne, sir.

So am I!

So is he.

What about your luggage?

I sent it on the train yesterday.

Sir, ma'am...

Please accept my apologies.
If it weren't for the strike,

we would never impose like this.

One moment.

Do you have any space?

Do you mind? We didn't say yes.

Now you do speak French! Two more spaces!

Hurry!

Off you go! And next time,
you should try and help

your fellow compatriots.

He's going to kill us, Lionel!

Tell him to slow down!

I won't start my holiday in the ER!

Don't worry ma'am. I'm fully covered.

I love speed!
It gives me goosebumps all over.

And with an old banger like this
you're asking to have an accident.

I'm Lulu.

I'm Jeanine. We're in telecommunications.

Hold the line, miss. Hold the line.

But where are you going?

I'm going fishing for stone bass
in La Roche-de-Glun.

Have you heard of it?
You have to fish at night with a bell.

You wait for the fish
to ask you for the line.

- Do you have a cigarette?
- No.

No.

Oh well.

Talk about stingy.

He bet his yacht in a game of dice.

I won, of course.

But a 150-ton yacht is
expensive to maintain,

especially with a crew of eight.

Slow down, like he has.

Say, we were going too fast before.

Now we're going at snail's pace.
What's going on?

I need to stop for gas.

One would usually check before leaving!

You remind me of my governess.

To tell you the truth,
we left in a bit of a hurry.

Can I use a telephone?

- There's a cabin inside, sir.
- Thank you.

A full tank, and check the water,
oil and tires.

Let's introduce ourselves!

I'm the Baron of Balconi
and this is the Baroness.

A pleasure. Bobby Carraud.

And my wife, Juliette.

Miss Jujube from the Crazy Horse Club.

An equestrian?

It's a prestigious club of sorts.

We're finishing our holidays.

in Aix-en-Provence. Do you know it?

Your wife is charming. Newlyweds?

Yes, on honeymoon.

I always fish with live bait.

One day I was fishing for gudgeon.

The bob went down.

A 20-pound pike!

This one's driving me up the wall.

Fishermen never get bored.

Wherever there's water I'm happy!

- Have fun fishing then.
- Thanks!

You're getting out here.

I thought as much.

Those who don't like fish
don't like people.

It's quite wretched of you.

I really do have it tough sometimes.

Your tires, sir.

What's wrong? These are nice tires.

They're worn down.

You could get in a scrape.

You'd better change them.

No, I'm in a hurry.

But someone's missing.

I'll go and look for him.

I'll stay in touch.

No, they don't suspect a thing.

Yes.

Are you making a record in here or what?

One second, I'm coming.

I'll call you as soon as possible.

Tomorrow night is my debut

at the strip club in Courchevel.

I hope the stage is well heated.

What a catastrophe!
We've forgotten your dogs!

But we don't have any dogs.

My favorite animal is a buck.

Don't worry. Those dogs
will easily find a taxi.

Would you mind getting some
cigarettes? Chesterfield.

Okay, I'll get myself a packet too.

TOBACCO BAR

Oh my! Why, thank you.

My pleasure.

Lionel, get a grip!

Looks like he just did, ma'am.

Now the two dimwits are gone

let's deal with the two cuties.

You know what?

I know a place where no one ever goes.

Please let me get out!

But we're not in Valence yet.

Please, I think I might be sick.

Me too, I get terrible car sickness.

There you are.

Are you sure you don't want to?

Just a little walk in the forest?

Are you afraid of the wolf?

Off we go.

I'll tell you one thing.
We're certainly not in Valence.

Let's stop here.
We won't be able to miss them.

They'll have to drive past us.

No way, are you crazy?

Burn it.

Yes? Come in.

Sato. Get ready to leave any second.

Where on earth are they?

- Don't worry. I have spare tires.
- Great.

Happy to see me?

Let's go for a little walk.

- We're going to take a little tour.
- Great.

I need a bit of exercise!

You don't go anywhere alone, huh?

I understand. What with all these
greaser types in the street.

We'll deal with you first.

Then we want a word with your girl.

SLAUGHTER STREET

Now promise you'll stop fighting!
Naughty boys.

I'll take you out!

Such pretty words from such a foul mouth.

See you soon.

Honestly,

what with all this tire business

we're losing precious time.

We'll have lunch on the go.

We're in no rush, darling.

"Lift up my skirt and you'll see Sens."

What would they hope to find in Sens?

I have new tires. Now we can get going.

Get any bargains?

I thought it would be quicker
to eat on the go.

Even if we take a nap
they have no chance of catching up.

We're still waiting on Mr. Viau.

It's starting to become a habit.

One moment.

There!

There we go!

I got a little souvenir for my mother.

- Your mother?
- Are you surprised?

Poor woman!

We need to find a spot to have lunch.

A picnic.

Oh, what a wonderful idea! It's been years

since I ate lunch on the grass.

You can have ten minutes, ma'am.

Quarter of an hour maximum!

We'll have a proper dinner later.

They're beautiful!

Magnificent things.

Beautiful. They'll catch some beauties.

Bastards!

To think I could be fishing already!

Rotten swine! I'm starving here!

Oh boy...

Selfish, the lot of you!

I'm not waving at you, you fools!

Are you coming or what?

Gentlemen, if you knew...

If you knew... Thank you!

They threw me out like an old rug!

They were in a Chevrolet. Sea green.

Yes, and the drivers were two gangsters.

Do you think you could identify them?

Could I?

With their ugly mugs?
Oh, yes. They were a bit like you!

Follow me.

What a beautiful spot!
Reminds me of when I was a scout.

So calm! What a charming spot.

It's chilly but this will warm us up.

When the weather's like this
I get goosebumps all over.

Here he is!

You're always late!

We're always waiting for you.

I was looking for flowers
for the ladies, but sadly...

Mr. Viau likes to keep us waiting.

Go ahead. We'll be back in a moment.

Let me get the cutlery.

The news is on in five minutes.

I feel uneasy.

How do you imagine
they would find us here?

I wish we were there now.

If you want we can leave right away.

That's right.

Start the car and keep your hands
on the wheel.

Don't try anything.
Le Gaucher has a grudge.

He wants to take you out.

Come on! Get moving.

Stay in second. We're not in a rush.

And watch out for bumps.
I have a sensitive trigger.

Everyone out.

Open up. Open!

Time for beddy-byes!

So you can fight a woman.

I'll give you a demonstration.

This is the part where you say goodbye.
But if you don't mind I--

- You all right?
- I have a hard head.

Come on, let's hurry.

- Faster.
- But...

Inspector Viau.

What a surprise.

Criminal squad.
The girl is part of a gang.

- If we get her, we can get to the boss.
- Oh?

A man named Griffin.

I don't know him.

You drive. I'm bleeding!

Hold tight. She spooks easy!

You won't make it! Are you crazy?

I took my driving test in an army tank.

Good God!

Bastards! Damned Parisians again!

You okay, Lupi?

We need to call the boss.

That's all we need.

This is at full throttle.

I can see that.

Now, Lionel. Don't say you think
all is well. I'm very worried.

Darling, please let us eat in peace!

We'll worry later.

Hello? Hello, boss?

The girl's in the car.

Good!

Yes?

Lupi? Yes.

Where exactly are you?
Hold on, one second.

The highway...

Yes, I see.

- Clémenti?
- Yes.

Okay, listen.
Here's what you're going to do.

Go back the way you came. Ten kilometers.

Then take the road for La Chapelle.

When you get there, go to the manor

and you ask for Mr. Clémenti.
Yes. He's a friend. Yes.

Okay, got it.

When we get to Clémenti we'll stay put.
We'll wait.

Get me the National Police.

Gaspard III calling du Guesclin.

Du Guesclin receiving Gaspard III.

Chief Inspector Viau speaking.

I need you to put me in contact
with car C12. It's urgent.

Du Guesclin calling C12.

I repeat Du Guesclin calling C12.

C12 receiving Du Guesclin.

I repeat, C12 receiving Du Guesclin.

Slow down, the line's crackling.

It's probably just my stomach rumbling.

Are you still following the Chevrolet?

They managed to shake us off
but now we're back on their tail.

They're on route 24
heading for La Chapelle.

Don't let them get away!

I have to say I'm impressed.

Routine job.

We've been tracking the Chevrolet's
by radio car since it left Paris.

What a luxury.

Nice timing, guys.

My daughter's wedding day!

And thanks, Griffin!

"Here's two guys. Hide them," he says!

Listen Mr. Clémenti,

he can't go on. Look at him!

He's on his last legs.

Okay, but I'm warning you.

I don't want any funny business!

You're not running from the cops?

- You have my word.
- Okay.

Because I'm a changed man.
Pure as the driven snow.

He's a very nice boy.
Works in clothing. Huge fortune.

Only the best for my daughter!

Isn't she beautiful, my baby?

It's a beautiful dress!

Yes, it's a Bérnardi.

- Gentlemen, enjoying the spread?
- Not really, Betty.

We'd make a fortune selling that.

The jewelry alone must
cost half a million.

As we're guests, we'll behave!

I should hope so!

Don't look at me.
I've caught the officer's eye.

No, thank you.

Please excuse me.

Ma'am, your buffet is excellent.

You're very kind.

Lieutenant, please allow me to introduce
Miss de Saint Omer,

an artist.

Well?

They're in there, Clémenti's house.
It's his daughter's wedding.

- And Griffin?
- I haven't seen him.

And the young lady?

- No sign of her.
- Yes, one moment.

Can I call Paris?

Go ahead.

Who's this guy?

A witness. He can identify them.

I'm going fishing.

Right. Thank you for your help, sir,

but I'll have to ask you
to leave for a moment.

Oh, okay.

Hello? C12 calling Du Guesclin.

Receiving.

It's Viau. Get me the boss, it's urgent.

One moment.

Chief? Inspector Viau is on the line.

I've found the Chevrolet.

We've tracked down the minions
but not Griffin.

Good.

Griffin left Paris 90 minutes ago

in a black Daimler,
registration 7045 AT 75.

They'll be heading to La Chapelle.

He'll be there in two hours.

Good, I'll arrest him.

Not so fast. Stay on the line.

Well?

Ask them about the Cadillac.

- Viau?
-Yes boss?

How did you get there?

I'm still in the Cadillac
with the driver, Bobby Carraud.

Excellent.

Our special agent,
Bobby Carraud is still on track.

Let your boys know.

Boss? What should I do?

Listen, Viau.

This case is now in the hands
of the FBI Narcotics Squad.

Stay in contact with your boys and wait.

That's it.

But boss?

Over and out.

Boss?

- So? Shall we go?
- No.

No. I've decided to wait for Griffin.

He'll turn up.

Okay, I'll go without you.

Hang on, Carraud.
Are you telling me how to do my job?

I wouldn't dream of it.

Where are you going?

To the wedding!

What a dimwit!

I hope Griffin won't be long.

This isn't a hospital you know.

Please, have a heart!

Park your car with the others.
If you leave it out back

- it looks suspicious
- Okay.

- Then I can grab a drink.
- I guess that'll be on me.

- Ciao.
- Ciao.

Cheers, Clémenti.

Your party is a great success.

The orchestra is great
and the whiskey is sublime.

Well it is my daughter's wedding,
after all.

A day to celebrate!

Canapé, sir?

Thank you very much.
I didn't have time for lunch.

These are chicken and these are caviar.

Not everyone likes chicken.

Whereas caviar, it's beautiful.
It glitters in the sun.

Like precious gems!

You must be a poet.

No, I just like caviar.

So are you a friend of my son-in-law?

- No, we haven't met yet, sadly.
- A friend of my daughter then?

No...

I don't know everyone!

We'll get to know each other.

Oh?

I'm in business with David Griffin.

He sent me to look for his friends.
Where are they?

- You worried me for a second there.
- Why?

I thought you were a pi--

- A what?
- A cop!

Honestly.

So are those guys here?

There.

In my bedroom. I'll take you.

No, stay with your guests. I'll find it.

First floor at the end of the corridor.

Go gently, okay?

Gentle is what I do best.

Well, look who it is!

You won't get away with this!

My horoscope says otherwise.

Come on.

Untie her!

Rock music!

Rock on!

Now what, smart guy?

For your collection.

Party's picking up!

Yes, yes it is.

- Getting in the swing.
- Yes!

These two are beginning
to get on my nerves.

And all the best.

Wait here for me.

All right, you win.

Would you like to dance, miss?

Bobby, we'll never get out of this.

Do you live with your parents?

I love the tango, don't you?

Dancing the tango is like riding a bike.
You never forget!

My dear friend, my wife is simply
dying to meet you.

I love this region, it's charming.

Oh yes, it's calm.

Nothing ever happens here!

Really, nothing?

There's never been a crime.

Not even a minor burglary.

There are some petty thefts
to get your teeth into,

the odd speeding ticket

the occasional drunken scuffle.
But not every year, mind you.

It's hard for a man like me.

Oh, you poor thing.

You want to be useful
but you get stuck in a rut.

To catch a bunch of gangsters!

We might just be able to arrange that.

Oh no.

- Yes!
- No.

I've accepted my fate.

In such a quiet place,
I'll never be promoted.

Would you like to become captain one day?

- Oh, mister...
- I know the minister.

Call me Bobby!
Goodbye Captain and thank you!

Thank you?

We meet again.

I thought you were waiting for Griffin?

That's what my men are there for.
How did it go?

Exceedingly pleasant.

But I think they might be back.

Not just yet.

I made myself useful.

- Hello, C12 calling.
- Du Guesclin receiving.

Inspector Viau and the others
have just left.

We'll make ourselves scarce
and wait for orders.

Over and out.

Inspector, you've kept me
here for two hours.

Maybe I could go now?

Out of the question.
You're the main witness.

No! I didn't see anything!

I'm not a witness. I didn't see a thing.

Go and arrest your gangsters and be done
with it! I've got things to do.

Boy oh boy, if I had known,
I'd have carried on walking!

By now your friends must think
you've abandoned them.

They'd be wrong.
That's not how we do things.

The devils! There's a group of them. Go!

Hey!

Ten kilometers!
We've been walking for an hour!

It's hopeless.

It's you bringing the bad luck, Adélaïde!

Oh please, Lionel!

I never did trust that Bobby Carraud.

He left with all our luggage.

And all my stage outfits!

I wonder what he'll do with them.

Hey!

Two hours we've been looking for you!

Come on, get in!

- Ladies first!
- I'm sorry my friend...

After you, Baron!

I warned those clowns!

And now look, they've trashed the place!

David, given our long-standing friendship,

let me just say...
it's not very courteous of you.

Nice work!

You let him take you out, you fools.

- The guy is dynamite!
- And you two are wet blankets!

If we only knew where they're going.

The girl was carrying this.

That might be useful.

"Marianne Lambert."

Of course! Let's go.

Thank you.

Seeing as you're only
taking us as far as Vienne,

let's spend the night in a nice hotel.

What do you think, miss?

Oh yes. A hotel
or anywhere for that matter!

I know a very expensive inn
not far from Vienne.

Romantic atmosphere.

Sounds perfect! What's the name?

L’auberge d'Authouillet.

I know it very well!

Very well.

Welcome! There are plenty of vacancies.

- Hello, sir. How are you?
- Hello.

- Hello!
- Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

I stayed here once in '37.

Of course, I remember!
I would have been 11.

How many rooms?

Four.

Adjoining rooms!

Of course! With a view
of the swimming pool.

Please, come in!

We'll catch you up.
We have a few things to do.

Don't worry. We'll see you at dinner.

I didn't need you, you know.

"One often needs one
smaller than oneself."

Yes, speaking of which,

was it you who emptied my revolver?

You could have hurt yourself.

How kind of you to care.

So what's your game plan?

Why didn't you arrest those crooks?

I'm not interested in the minions.

I've been trying to catch Griffin
for almost a year.

For murdering your husband.

Without proof, I've never succeeded.

I thought we had him back there.

But unfortunately I interfered.

You could have helped us.

I would have, if I thought
you were in real danger.

Who do you take me for?

- One question.
- Yes?

Were you ever suspicious of me?

Of you? I can tell just by looking at you!

You're not in on it.

Please excuse us.
We have a private matter to attend to.

- I'll tell Ma'am you're here.
- Thank you.

Bobby, what if this woman refuses
to give me the package?

I'll sort it.

A little rich woman in the countryside...

She can't defend herself.

You called for me?

- Are you Marianne Lambert?
- Yes.

If that's all right with you.

Better known in the theater world
as Marianne Andersen.

Before I got married.

And this is?

Bobby Carraud.

And what will Bobby Carraud
have to drink? Scotch?

If there is any.

What do you think we are, savages?

- Ma'am--
- Call me Marianne.

- Seltzer?
- No, thank you.

We came from Par--

What's new in Paris? What's in?

We didn't come here
to exchange local gossip.

Geneviève sent us.

Geneviève! How is she?

Well...

She's dead.

That's odd.
She wrote to me three days ago.

Murdered. Last night...

with a revolver.

You're asking if I have an alibi?

I came to collect the package she sent.

What package?

- Don't lie!
- Please leave!

Let me explain the situation.

I believe you know Mr. Griffin?

I know of him.

He's a criminal.
Geneviève knew too much so he killed her.

He tried to kill me too.

Now, if you don't give me the package,

I'm afraid you might be next.

How reassuring.

How do I know
you're not Griffin's accomplices?

Look.

FBI.

That's right.

Narcotics Squad.

You're disappointed.

Surprised, rather.

That's a little secret between us.
The package please.

One moment.

Here.

Poor Geneviève.
We used to go dancing together.

What I'd give to turn back time.

You should never regret anything.
It's bad for your health.

Come with us to the Auberge d'Authouillet.

You'll be safe there.

I've given you the documents.

What could happen to me?

Besides, I'm not alone.

My husband is due home.

Thank you.

Tell me. What will happen to Griffin?

Seeing as he's American
and he has a good lawyer...

The electric chair.

You took your time.

Friends always end up
talking about old times.

Are you making fun of me?

I wouldn't dare,

Chief Inspector.

Is this the house
of Mrs. Marianne Lambert?

Tell her David Griffin is here, please.

My name is Bobby Carraud.

What's my room number?

Fourteen, Mr. Carraud, first floor.

You've given me room 26.

Oh! Sorry.

I'll be there in five minutes.
I just have to make a call.

Room 14, first floor.

Thank you.

Make sure you get the whole gang.

All right. Goodbye!

Now there's a smart move.

I would have given it to you
if you asked nicely.

You think you can do anything
in the police.

Slight change of plan:

See off Juliette, get the papers.

We know where they are.
It'll take an hour.

The border isn't far
if we take the mountain road.

I've been waiting a year for this.

You can tell Mrs. Jordan

that Griffin has nothing on her now.

One phone call to Paris

and the whole gang
will be locked up in an hour.

What an enormous relief.

I need a strong man.

I'm the strongest here.
How can I help you?

Follow me.

My zipper is stuck.

- Let's take a look.
- Here.

Surely you're quite used
to doing that yourself?

How can I thank you?

I'm sure we can find a way.

You smell wonderful.

It's a fragrance called "Hold Me Tight."

"Hold Me Tight."

Those parfumiers...

They come up with all sorts.

Luckily, I'm a serious man.

Of course I stumble upon
the only serious man out there.

We've won, Juliette.

It was a close call
but we're out of the woods now.

Don't you think I've earned

a little reward?

Well, I'll go and wash my hands.

Off you go.
In the meantime I'll get dressed.

Is there any need?

For dinner it's absolutely necessary!

We could have sandwiches brought up.

For a light supper,

just us two.

I'd rather join them.

But nothing's stopping you
having dinner here alone.

Come on, Juliette! Smile!

- It's all over.
- I don't want to.

I sense you're upset with me.

Everything you've done...
I thought you were doing it for me.

But you were doing it
for the Narcotics Squad.

It must have been fun to put on a show.

You and Viau must have had a real laugh.

Firstly, Viau doesn't know who I am.

Secondly, I might be a federal agent

but I'm also a man.

Perhaps I was protecting you

because...

I care about you.

I'll never be able to believe you now.

Enough empty words.

You're right, enough words.

Starting now, I'm on leave.

What would you say to a trip?

Haven't we travelled enough?

Just the two of us.

Italy is wonderful this time of year.

Could we have some music, miss?

Of course, sir.

A slow dance.
It's giving me goosebumps all over!

What a great atmosphere. Bravo!

It's my round.

How's business?

Not bad.

Do you work in the restaurant industry?

My work involves more bars.

Please excuse me, the kitchen is calling.

Hold it!

Bland.

Pepper,

Worcestershire sauce,

curry,

salt.

Off you go! This'll be a meal to remember.

Do you know what I realized?

- No.
- We have connecting rooms.

So?

So if you're scared of the dark,
you just have to unlock the door.

I'll have to think about that,

my dear Baron.

Hold it!

How many times? It's not spicy enough!

Pepper,

Worcestershire sauce!

curry...

There! Now you're starting to get it.

Here's the vice squad!

I suggest you give me that envelope back.

What envelope?

Don't play the good little soldier, Carraud.

I'll have you locked up in a flash
for obstructing a case.

I have some advice for you too.

- Go on.
- Don't mess with me.

Otherwise I'll do you for
serious stupidity.

You'll pay for that.

- Really?
- Yes.

FBI.

- Heard of them?
- Yes.

If it weren't for you,
my investigation would be over by now.

Please accept my apologies.

Call me Bobby and pour yourself another.

Goodbye promotion.

You'll get it.

Where are your boys from the 403?

On their way.

Du Guesclin calling C12!

- Hello, C12 receiving Du Guesclin.
-Hello.

It's the carburetor.
We have a while to wait yet.

Never mind. We'll make sure Inspector Viau

is covered. Have fun! Over and out.

Over and out.

That'll teach me to hitch a ride
with the cops!

Baron, for your hors-d’oeuvres,

I have a little Chablis

- premier cru.
- Chablis is fine.

For the starter, a Pouiliy-Fuissé?

- My dear Baron!
- God save me.

There's only one wine for the occasion,

and it's a good one:
Chassagne-Montrachet 1953.

You look wonderful.

Love never changes.

Dear friends, our feast awaits!

This is my treat.
Lucullus dines with Lucullus.

Baron, I must warn you
I eat very little in the evening.

Why not treat yourself?

A table for six? Follow me.

Madam.

Madam.

This whole trip has been
very pleasant indeed!

With the exception of our picnic.

Speaking of which,
where did you three get to?

A quarrel between newlyweds?

It's delicious, what is it?

The chef's specialty.

- Bobby.
- I've seen them.

I hope your team won't be long.

Hey! No whispering.
Why don't you let us all in on the secret?

Well...

Our friend just told a story
that isn't for young ladies' ears.

Oh, I love a risqué story!

Why don't you tell us?

What's the difference between
a squirrel and an iron?

No ideas?

If you put a squirrel and an iron

at the foot of a tree,
the one that runs up it

is the squirrel!

Anyway.

I have to make a call.

- Everything okay?
- So far, so good!

Long may it last...

Now for the partridge.

It wasn't easy to catch!

It's not plugged in!

- It is.
- It's not!

You're right, it's been cut off!

Hello?

The telephone wasn't working.

Excuse me.

I'd prefer something grilled.

Grilled?

This is not a snack bar, sir!

It's a gastronomic hotel!

I thought you liked partridge?

Oh! I love hunting.

The smell of gun powder,
the sound of the shots, don't you?

Oh, yes.

It gives her goosebumps all over.

Mr. Bobby Carraud?

That's me.

My honorable master requests
the honor of speaking with you.

Tell your honorable master
I am very honored.

Actually,

I'll tell him myself.

Take a seat.

Delighted to see you again, Mr. Carraud.

There was no need to come here.
I would have come to you.

Jokes aside,

you are in possession of some documents
I'm willing to buy from you...

at a very high price.

What a shame. I have nothing
to sell at the moment.

Give me the papers and I'll disappear.

And if I don't?

If you don't,
my men are waiting for a signal.

You're cornered.

It's all a bluff, Griffin.

Sorry?

I said it's all a bluff.

What's your answer, Mr. Garraud?

Well...

Here.

Bobby Carraud, FBI agent.

I'm arresting you. Follow me.

I'm not armed. You wouldn't shoot
an unarmed man.

No. But

nothing's stopping me from hitting one.

Do something, Lionel!

Stop!

Go on! Yes!

Let me have a go.

Shit!

Can we not eat in peace?

If this goes on I won't be back.

Stop! What's going on?

Hey! Stop!

Stop! Do not do that !

My dessert!

One left.

Ladies first.

THE END
