That's him.

The balaclavas.

Don't move!

Nothing will happen.

Enemy of the people!

Zurich - Business district

Saturday 26th September 12:51pm

Please accept out sincerest regrets
for the delay etc etc...

Alright George, down to business.

About Balestrat, any news?

I stopped at his hotel, it's all set.

Glad to hear it.

Cost of the operation:
6% of the value of the diamonds.

Is he satisfied?

You know him. He's like all Frenchmen.
He always seems to feel...

he has to have a political explanation
to justify putting money in Switzerland.

Well when you're finished with
him call me back here.

Thanks George. Good work.
See you Monday sir.

What about the investment trusts?

All the transfers have been made.

Good.
Phone calls?

Avident credit & loan, Alpine brokers...

and Mr Zimmer has called three times so far
he ended up by saying he'd come by to see you.

Zimmer you say?
That's right.

Was he here?
No.

We'll worry about that on Monday.

I wanted to thank you for those tickets.
I thought the play was wonderful.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Goodbye Ms Frost.

Bye Mr Grenier.

Have a good weekend.

Today's stock market quotations mean
another victory for the dollar.

Here's a special bulletin
concerning the killing in Zurich.

Shortly after 11.30 this morning

a tram was attacked by several masked
men who shot down one of the passengers
passengers
passengers.
36 The victim was a man named Mr Zimmer, director of a travel agency.

The victim was a man named Mr Zimmer, director of a travel agency

The assassination was claimed by a
partisan activist brigade called PAV.

This group also claimed the bomb
explosion in Zurich airport

3 weeks ago.

First reports indicate that Mr. Zimmer
was not linked to any political movement

and no threat had previously
been made on his life.

We will communicate further
bulletins as we received them.

Zurich - Central Post Office

Saturday 26th of September 2:32pm

Mr. Sebastien Grenier?

Yes, that's right.

What have you got there?

Alexander Dumas.
Hand delivered free of charge.

Aren't you going to open it?

No...

If I open it I can't send it back.
Just kile the Nobel Prize.

I'll change my clothes.
We have to leave early

Reports say the traffic is ghastly
in the middle of town
.

Really, what's causing that?

That business on the streetcar.

Someone was shot and killed this
morning by PAV brigade.

Did you hear about it?

No.
Twenty years later. Page 138

I see you like Verdi Mr Grenier?

We Swiss are quite talented when
it comes to Italian music along with...

English nurses, American cinema and
German Mercedes.

And old French literature.
Don't forget that.

Indeed.

I was afraid you would show up.
I should've known better.

I haven't introduced myself:

I'm Jean Paul Chance Federal councellor
to the ministry of Justice.

You often approach people and talk to
them like this in a public park?

No, unless I'm meeting someone.

Your meeting someone are you?

Proof is, you're here.

An exquisite setting isn't it?
Baroque I'd say, wouldn't you?

Baroque but noisy.

Quite right.

You familiar with a bakery
called Schlimers?

You can get a marvellous fresh
cucumber sandwich.

Sounds delightful.

But at the risk of being
thought prudish...

I'm not the type of man to follow strange
men, even from the ministry of Justice...

into a pastry shop.

I mean of course unless it's an
act of God.

I can think of 3 possibilities:

Hunger, plague...

and the secret service.

In your case I'd suggest the 3rd one.

Saturday 26th of September 5:05pm

Your reputation as a high ranking
financier is in perfect order.

From 1950 to 1962 you were

assistant director in a large
sugar industry

in the north of France.
After that in 1963, you ran

the loans department of a bank
on the river front.

Then in the spring of 1971,
for personal reasons...

divorce, if I'm not mistaken, you
decided to start a new life.

You opened in the middle of Zurich
a holding company.

Well that's the term your ministry of finanace
has dreamt up for it. Affiliates elsewhere.

So much for the facade,
which is unimpeachable .

Underneath it's not so pretty.

A French undercover agent in the office
of documentation and counter-espionage.

What we would call a spy.

Perhaps I'm boring you.
You seem very tired.

No no, I'm alright. Just had
a bad night.

Trouble sleeping?

You spent the last 8 years sleeping.
It's not enough for you?

I think I might have some more tea.

I'm referring to the long sleep

in which you were confined by your
superiors til today I think.

Really can't imagine why I say "think",
because I know...

actually I'm positive.

An honorable assosciate
in you service,

Mr Alfred Zimmer,

was just murdered in Zurich tramway

by a commando in the
Partisan Activist brigade.

This PAV brigade is in itself nothing.

They carry out orders. They're manipulated.
Question number one is manipulated by who?

That's undoubtedly what Mr Zimmer
had discovered.

For question number two:

Was he murdered before you met or after?

All of this is very probably...

very subtle.
Subtle but a bit obscure.

Well one things not obscure:

We opened that book you had before you.

You can always reach me at this number.

If you happen to get any information
about Mr Zimmer's death...

you will get in touch
with me won't you?

Otherwise my government, will act
on my instructions and...

you'll be accused of endangering national
security and improsoned for 10 years.

Which would be a shame...

I mean it. I've developed a very
freindly feeling towards you.

It's not mutual?

It is. I've got a very friendly feeling
too but to be a frank i'm sick of cucumbers.

Tages Anzeiger newspaper building

Saturday 26th of September 5:50pm

Collector of Alexander Dumas
would like original edition of

Joseph Balsamo - Urgently -
Is that it?

Yes. Will it appear
tomorrow morning?

Yes of course.

Because it is very important.

Your ad will be in the first edition

on the stands at 6am.

I don't think I'll be able
to go with you.

You know Horst & Irene will feel let
down now we can't play doubles.

Well I'm sorry but
I'm snowed under.

I have to finish all this by
tomorrow morning.

I'll try to join up later.
You can play a couple of games without me.

Yes I can do any number of things
without you Sebastien.

I can go to the movies, out to dinner,
even sleep wwithout you. But I...

like it better with you.

You should know that by now?

Are you still going to
the theatre with me?

Of course! What a question.

All right, see you later.

At least take time off
to go for a walk.

I will but this could take
all afternoon.

Mr Grenier, You put in an ad
regarding a rare edition of J. Balsamo?

We have a message from
an Alexander Dumas fan.

He'd like a meeting with
you right away.

So would I.

I'm late.

I hope I didn't make
you wait too long.

The trouble with our Hockey
is that it has no class...

The professionals from Canada are too
mercenary and those from

the East are hesitant.

Ever since the time the Czechoslovakian
team forgot to go home.

You're surprised to see me aren't you.

No more so than yesterday.

This time though it was
you who summoned me.

We're workign for the same boss.

And I'm on page 138.

Lover of Alexander Dumas
would like an original edition

of Joseph Balsamo...

That's the code for an
emergency meeting, right?

What's your problem?

Well for the moment it's you.

I say that's Zurich's gonna take this game
with no trouble. They outclass Bern...

You really wanna stay?

You aren't taking me to eat cucumbers?

How about a drink at my place?

You know even in the
most ambiguous situation

there's always an element of truth.

With my position with the
ministry of Justice in Bern.

You'd find that extremely
easy to verify.

You're right, it was.

You could never mistrust me half
as much as Paris mistrusts you.

Well you're reaction was quick
enough to reassure everyone.

The climate in Zurich is
quite mellowing.

you might have fallen into
a sort of apathy...

after 8 years.

Besides, your very success here in
Zurich works to your disadvantage.

In love as well as in business.

Sit down.

Would you mind if I
asked you a question?

Why haven't you got around
to marrying Ms Gretz?

Is that your business?

Yes.

Because we're alright as we are.

Perhaps also to avoid
this kind of question.

For what reason did you marry?
Why did you decide to marry a German?

Yes, we're very puritanical.

Forget all that. Paris wanted a security
check and you've mopre than passed it.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, a drop of Scotch if you don't mind.

What do you think of this
Partisan Activist Brigade?

Personally...

I must say this
Partisan Activist Brigade

is hardly representative of
our national genius.

Therefore we must ask if
a foreign power is at work.

The OAV brigade is manipulated
we know, but by whom.

It's because he was getting close to
the answer that Zimmer is now dead.

And it is becasue we had to replace
Zimmer that you were reactivated.

But why me?

You know that the university, even
in Zurich, is a breeding ground...

for left-wing agitation. The
worthy Ms Gretz teaches at

the university and lives with you.
You follow me?

No, not very well.

Would it bother you if I talked
about Ms Gretz's activities?

Whatever you want.

Before coming to Zurich to take up a
teaching post, literature and linguistics

Ms. Gretz taught at the
university in Munich.

I may be chauvanistic but
I'm hardly blind

I refuse to believe that anyone
leaves a place like Munich for Zurich.

Well you can get tired of a city.

And the city can get tired of you.

Ms Gretz ran with a group of youngsters
that were pretty much suicidal.

The whole Baadermeinhof gang mixed
up in the worst kind of mayhem.

She's never told you
about any of this?

Is that all?

All from Munich.

But since she moved to Zurich,

her contact with certain activists
kicked out of Germany or

the Middle East are
well known to everybody,

except apparently to you.

I suppose Paris ordered you
to give me this message?

No, I took the initiative.
It's strictly personal.

We like our agents to look
as pure as virgins.

I just wish their playmates
could be equally as immaculate!

I'm hoping you can take up this
little affair of Zimmer's...

Without ending like him.

Zimmer, you do know who he is?

Because up to now your cooperation has
hardly what i'd call enthusiastic.

It's true your not fully awake.
You've only opened one eye!

I'll tell you when to open the other.

To our mutual health!

And if I hadn't happened
to sound the alarm?

We would've known exactly
which side you were on...

University of Zurich

Monday 28th of September 10:45pm

Goodbye Dieter.

How are you?
I'm fine.

What a surprise!

A very nice surprise!

A meeting just finished and I thought
we could go out somewhere for a bite.

I'm in favour of that!

Our discussion group is
all fired up tonight.

Dieter was full of ideas. He was
in the stratosphere

Dieter?
He's a favourite of yours?

You're being silly!

I've been meaning to talk to
you about your discussion group.

You think maybe you could
suspend them for a while.

Because I have a vague idea
about what you discuss...

and what it might lead to and to be frank
with you I'm not so crazy about it.

Oh your not.
Is that why you came tonight?

I came to take you to dinner,
but also a bit for that.

Well it's just too bad...

you may not like our meetings but
I don't like yours any better.

What do you talk about sitting about
that long table in that fancy building?

Promotions, investments,
and money, always money!

We talk about money as well but we
talk about those who don't have money.

The old, the sick,
the unemployed.

You think terrorism is going
to generate job offers?

Who mentioned terrorism?

I know you hate me to bring this up
but at this very moment in Zurich

things are going on very similar
to when you were in Munich.

I don't say anyone's responsible but...

No, of course you don't.

When certain causes lead to the same effects
you begin to search for a relationship...

The relationship of cause to effect.
What books are you reading?

Come on Sebastien, save your highschool
philosophy for your clients.

Tuesday 29th of September 3:30pm

Did your lunch meeting go well?

Yes thanks, very well.

This number does not exist.

Please refer to the
list of subscribers.

Who were you looking for?
Everyone's gone home.

I left a folder in this
office yesterday.

I was sure I wouldn't need it.
It's always like that isn't it?

If you left anything lying around
it'd be put aside by the cleaners.

Mr. Chance gives you
a passkey doesn't he?

Who?

Mr Chance.
Isn't this his office?

It's anybody's who has the money.

These offices are for rent,

at a daily rate, sometimes by the hour.

You pay in advance.
So keeping track of names...

If we find your folder,
where do we send it?

To the lost and found!

Thanks.

They're lovely aren't they?

I must say your friend
has excellent taste.

They're kind of a wold dahlia.
Can you imagine that?

The latin name is...

Tregonias Plopesis.

All these years I've lived
without knowing that!

Two bouquets in one day!

Yours are nice too.
I appreciate it.

The name for them is daisies!

Finally, ten minutes more and i'd
have led Ms Gretz off to a restaurant.

I was to be here
at 8, wasn't I?

Well yes, off course.

Blessed be whatever delayed you as that way
Ms Gretz and I were able to have a little chat.

About what?

Well tell him your idea, about
sending out a petition.

It was just a hypothesis.
I wasn't serious.

Why do you say that?

Mr. Chance suggests all professors get
together and write a petition

banning all soldiers and
police from campuses.

Why limit it to professors?

Have all the radicals
sign it, students too?

Then if the police are still lacking
in names, this will overwhelm them.

I think I should apologise for
my husbands sense of logic!

What are you doing here?

You went to my place.

Yes, but you weren't there.

Your methods are probably very
original but they leave me cold.

So keep my wife out of this.
Anna has nothing to do with it.

Let's hope not?

Don't mind me, go on talking

why don't you have a drink
while I prepare a quick dinner.

You will stay for dinner, won't you?

Oh no I...

Of course he will, it'd be
a pleasure for us both!

Zurich - Central Train Station

Wednesday 30th of September 2:25pm

Pull over there on the right.

I didn't get your message until 10.
What's the matter? Something wrong?

There could be.

Where are you going?

No place. We're just riding.

Like the old days!

Chance, do you know that name?
Jean-Paul Chance.

Chance?

No. What's his line of work?

Ministry of Justice.

Very high level.

But underneath the facade,
the picture's a bit murky.

1st manifestation he was slipped
in by our Swiss counterparts

to watch over me.

Talks about throwing me in
prison if I don't play ball.

2nd time around he claims
he's from our parish

not only that, it seems
he's my superior.

No more no less.

What would you think of an old comic
who in 24hours puts on two faces?

Well I automatically begin
looking for a third one.

I'm sick of this mess, Henri.

The past 8 years taught me to have
relationships with ordinary people.

Top get phone calls other
than out of to public booths,

To read the mail without
having to decode it,

To leave the office in the morning
and go home to Anna at night.

I wanted to ask you about her.
How is she?

Fine.

Sometimes I think it would be nice
if we could meet someplace else

other than a railroad station
or a godforsaken park.

I once read somewhere that ours is
a noble trade. We live like rats.

Your right, except that real
rats don't bump each other off.

You mean Zimmer?

Somebody pointed the finger at him.

The PAV brigade might manage to rob
a bank or even plant TNT in an embassy,

but kill an old hand like Zimmer,

they're too dumb.

That was my first thought aswell.

Well who else?

You have someone in mind?

Kaufman, Meyer?

Me maybe?

No, anybody but you.

I hope all these years of inaction
haven't made you soft Sebastien.

At this moment, someone here,
or in Geneva or Munich or Paris,

is sitting on a detonator. He has to
be eliminated or he'll push the button.

You musn't exclude anyone from the
list. Everyone is suspected.

Even in Paris?

You may not know this but,

there have been a bunch of changes
in Paris in the last few years.

New faces int he corridors,
old faces have disappeared.

Could even be that we
have ceased to please.

For what reason?

Call it reasons of state.

Or the rats grappling
over the dirt!

What a business!

I suppose certain professions
must carry germs the way

certain foods cause cancer.

I'm so tempted to let everything go
to pot. If you only knew Henri!

I feel like that now and then.

Sometimes too soon, like you,

Sometimes too late, like Zimmer.

If Chance is from the home
office i'll soon know

even if I have to go high up. Even if
I have to run a couple of red lights.

My train's in 40 minutes but don't bother driving
me. I need to walk to sweep the dirt from my head.

As you wish.

Give Anna a kiss for me.

I can't even mention that I saw you.

So kiss her but don't tell her why.

See you again Henri.

Thursday 1st of October 8:35am

I've brought your tea Mr Grenier.

Thank you Ms. Frost.

Accident or suicide?
The mysterious death of Henri Marchand.

Hello.

You alright?

I was about to leave you a note
in case you got home late tonight.

What in the world is going on?
You aren't leaving me are you?

Don't be ridiculous, I've got to go to
Munich for a meeting with the president.

I'm sorry i've had a lot on my
mind. I guess I wasn't thinking.

I completely forgot to tell you.

I'm only going for one day.
I'll be back tomorrow night.

Well I'll drive you to the airport.

No, don't drive me. It's better if I
get a taxi. Why be stuck in traffic.

Come on...

If anyone from the office calls
me, you've no idea where I've gone?

Even if it's Ms Frost?

Even Ms Frost.

And don't tell Chance where I've gone,

in case he happens to call.

But why would he call?

Your right, why would he call.

And if I should need to
call you for something,

no reason, just to tell you goodnight,
what hotel are you staying in?

I don't know yet. But I'll
be in touch with you.

Where are you going?

Munich.

Grenier is just boarding
our plane to Munich.

Munich Internacional Airport

Thursday 1st of October 3:50pm

Do you wish to see Mr Meyer?

He must be rather busy and I hate to
disturb him but it's a very special request.

If I knew what you were looking
for I could try to find it.

"Chinese agrarian methods in the
early 12th Century" Karl E. B�hme.

Normally you could certainly
consult it here but

by strange coincidence it was
loaned last week to Mr. Bojarsky,

Curator of the Metropolitan Museum.

Mr. Meyer!

What is it Kirchen?

This gentleman would like to
see the treatis by Karl E. B�hme.

It's rare anyone asks for that work.

I explained to him that at the
moment it's on loan to Mr Bojarsky...

Bojarsky, all he cares about is getting himself
photographed reading the works of Bohme

Keen to have his profile in the New York.

That's every foolish immigrants dream!

But if your televisions broken and
you can't get to sleep any other way,

I think we have the entire
works of Bohme on microfilm.

Your extremely helpful.

I'm simply curious.

Anyone who can stomach B�hme is
either a madman or a genius.

Grenier, what are you doing here?
Are you crazy!

Are you aware of what's
happening right now in Zurich?

The reason I came...

I'm not interested in your reason.
Whatever it is it's not to be trusted.

Any violation of the security
code is not to be trusted.

The code says we go through channels and
the channel for you and for me is Marchand.

Marchand is dead.

We'll end up in the same
boat if you don't help me.

"I believe one day I shall die

but I do not accept it's reality".

"Lucius Aurelian..."

Save your fancy quotations for the
faggots on that fancy square in Berlin!

Alexanderplatz,
so far away.

Do you rememeber Eric Walser?

Of course not. Who does anymore?

That paragon walked out on me for a
pudding-faced bitch with hairy nostrils!

Italian contessa.
Richer than the vatican!

What can I tell you.
You have all my sympathy.

Now listen to me Meyer.

Someone in our parish is trying
to blow up the church,

or else someone in a rival parish.

The famous mole is that it?.

Give it any name you like.

What we've got to do is identify him.

I may be completely off base,
and I hope I am

but I have someone in mind,
someone very high up.

Over you and me there was Zimmer.

Over Zimmer, Marchand.

And over Marchand...

Chance, you know that name?

Let me think...

Jean-Paul Chance,

He's in the Ministry of Justice in Bern.

That's him.

In that case, he's untouchable.

I'm not asking you to blow
him up in the street.

I simply want to know his pedigree.
He knows mine in full.

A young charmer I once knew,

now a bit battered, gives me
access to certain file cards.

I'm sure I can get what you want,
but I won't go further than that.

However, in my opinion, nothing you
are going to do is going to help much.

If Zimmer and Marchand have both
been liquidated that means...

that someone high up has decided on a purge

and nothing will stop it.

Not your citations,
your reputation for action,

nor my great talent for inertia.

Nothing.

We'll make a photocopy of all the material
and you can pick it up when it's ready.

Let's say first thing tomorrow,
will that suit you?

That's very kind Mr Meyer,
I can't thank you enough.

Don't mention it.
We always try to please.

Favour for favour.

That calculation Italian
contessa I told you about,

her name is Graziella de scabelli.

Somehow you can put the squeeze on her
for cheating on her income tax...

Have we got more important
problems right now?

Alright, I'll do my best.

Oh well actually
it was pretty boring...

No, no problems.

I'll be back tomorrow night as
promised. Any news at your end? No.

Oh yes, Chance called you.

Around 7. I said you'd just gone out
and I didn't know when you'd be back.

That's fine.

I've been missing you.
And I can't wait for you back.

I miss you too Anna.

Good night darling.

Sleep well. Goodbye.

Munich

Friday 2nd of October 9:15am

Zurich Airport

Friday 2nd of October 8:43pm

You had a good trip I trust?

Yes, it was fine.

I tries to call you last night. I had the
pleasure of speaking to you charming companion.

She told me "I don't know where he is,
I don't know when he's getting home."

She had it down pat.

She knew perfectly well
you were in Munich.

I was told about Meyer an hour ago.

You're not a healthy person to have
around. But you always come out of it.

You should give your
friends your secret recipe.

Henri Marchand was a friend of yours?

I never want to hear you pronounce
Henri Marchand's name again.

or Anna's either.

Do I make myself clear?

Can I drive you home?

Do not count me in to sign this paper.
This is literature!

Perhaps Vall�s is not towards literature?

Yes, but hers were good.
This is obscene.

Goos evening Mr Grenier.

I'm so glad your home Sebastien..

It's awful. Henri is dead.

I know.

So hard to believe.

You don't simply
fall out of a train.

He did. Forgive me Anna...

Meyer was killed this morning in
Munich. You know about it?

Yes.

There's a phone booth just
opposite your place.

Be there in 10 minutes.

I can't seem to sleep tonight so

I'm going out for some air.

Are you sure there's nothing
you want to tell me?

No, nothing.

Friday 2nd of October 11:17pm

I've been sent by Paris.

So?

Tomorrow morning, museum of
technology, 11 sharp.

When you took the plane to Munich,
did you already know about Marchand?

Yes.

But why couldn't you have
told me on the phone?

You mean you weren't alone.

Don't be so stupid Anna.

You know Henri is dead and
you don't say a word...

Then you refuse to let me
go to the airport...

Your just back again and you get a
phonecall and you go hurrying back outside.

I question you and you say
"Don't be so stupid Anna."

That's not much of an
explanation is it?

All I can say is...

All I can say is you
can't be more wrong.

Well then, explain yourself.

You probably won't accept this
but the less you know

the better it is.

For who?

For both of us.

Both of us?

A storm is gathering around me.

Friends are dying,
strangers appearing.

There's someone putting my head
in a noose. But who?

I know I've gotta wake up and
do something, but what?.

But about Henri I know.

It was no accident.
Henri was killed.

Zurich funicular railway

Saturday 3rd of October 9:35am

Chance will kill you.

Paris wouldn't mind the idea
of losing so much but,

what's really annoying is the
way it's accumulating.

Zimmer, Marchand, Meyer.

Security boys are starting to
get a little nervous.

It has to be brought to a halt.

And you could hardly blame them.

I'm just here on a visit to
bandage a few wounds

stop the internal bleeding.

If it doesn't stop you know what'll happen next.

One morning the Swiss police will
liquidate the PAV brigade

That'll be a nice mess.

And who'll wind up smack
in the middle?

Not only Anna Gretz,
but you.

Sebastien Grenier, French secret agent

armed with one of our pistols
and a pocket full of leaflets

Out and out collusion between
Paris and the brigade.

Oh really.

And for those slow on the uptake,

You can bet Mr. Chance won't
fail to pound the message home.

The dossier he'll put together
is bound to be a classic.

Apologetic, the least bit
Francophile, but damning.

He's a curious man, this
Jean-Paul Chance.

I wouldn't know but...

rumour has it that you and
he are great pals.

I hope we're talking
about the same person.

Jean Paul Chance

born in Geneva in 1931 of a
Swiss father and a French mother.

honours student at the
school of administration,

doctorate from Harvard.

Golden boy of the Bundesrat
darling of the Intelligentsia.

In short, the elite
core of the K.G.B.

Slick, amusing, incorruptible,

and absolutley deadly.

And this one Ramos Bavilla,
you know him?

Is he as interesting as Chance.

Neither slick not amusing,
but someone to worry about.

Do you mind if I ask you
an indiscreet question?

Exactly who are you?

Just call me Richard or captain
or page 138.

It's not important.

If your so absolutlety certain that the
minister of Justice is a mole then...

why didn't Paris pass
the file onto Bern?

We've got troubles enough.
Let's not make it worse.

But since you ask it's because
Chance is not making use of you...

and we still consider you
our winning ace.

If that were the case I wouldn't be
here to clarify your part in all this

but to put an end to it.

Tell me something,

was it merely to tell me this
that you had me awakened?

But it wasn't us that
had you awakened.

See you soon Grenier.

University of Zurich

Saturday 3rd of October 11:50am

The government chauffeur Mr Alfred
Gantz was killed instantly.

Andrei Kieffer of the federal council
died on his way to the hospital.

The body of the terrorist shot down
by the police has now been identified

as Ludwig Schaer, teaching assistant
of political sciences in the university.

The entire teaching staff is
in uproar after the explosion

since two professors, a man and
a woman were seriously injured.

They haven't been identified but yet
but they are both critical.

Other members of the faculty,
suspected of being in sympathy

with the terrorist movement are
now being interrogated by the police.
648 Later today the council will call an emergency session to debate...

Will you let me by...

I want to find out if anything happened
to Professor Gretz. She's my wife.

The police are jumpy.
They have reason to be.

I'm very sorry about your wife.

Don't worry she's not hurt but
she was arrested with three others.

What is Anna accused of doing?

So maybe she signed some asinine
petition which in fact was...

No it has nothing to do with that.
This time they killed someone.

That's stupid. Anna wouldn't
be a party to murder.

Now that I know her I
feel that's true.

Climb in the car, we'll go see
if there's something we can do.

I'm a little bit embarrased gentlemen.

If a federal councillor will give us
a personal guarantee for Prof. Gretz...

in that case so be it.

However, the fact remains...

The fact remains, I agree.

But the content of the petitions
is nothing more than opinion.

No one has yet found any indication,

of violence or murder in
any of the texts.

Nothing that's true...

nothing at all.

Well if the inspector agrees
with that interpretation,

maybe Ms Gretz could be set
free pretty soon?

Yes, I'm sure we can
arrange something.

You realise that won't be the same
for those three colleagues or hers,

that's why I think we'll have to
hold onto Prof Gretz for the moment...

for... how shall I put it...

For the sake of appearances.

Quite.

I'm fairly confident she'll
be free by 6 O'clock.

Do you beleive in coincidences?

Not any more.

Good because this wasn't one.

The K.G.B. arrives and a
diplomat is blown up.

And two and two makes four.

Is that right?

Let me explain

Late last night Colonel Lermontov
passed the border into Switzerland

under the name of Alain Richard.

Calculators, telex,
office computers...

then several hours later, just
by accident the PAV blasts

a diplomat car,
outside the university.

Enigmatic character, this Alain Richard.

Personally it annoys me but
people here in Zurich

treat the man with the utmost respect.

His appearances are rather pleasant.

One could say your appearances
are rather pleasant too.

I'm just joking.

You won't catch him joking.

I don't think he'll try to
approach you but it could happen!

In case the improbable comes to
pass I'm sure I can count on you.

I would like to thank you for your
help, I mean on behalf of Anna.

Forget it, it was the least I could do.

Saturday 3rd of October 1:42pm

Just a minute.

I must've locked it without
knowing what I was doing.

I've prepared the cheques you wanted
me to make out for Mr.Patticker

Yes but I haven't the time no Ms Frost.
We'll see to it tomorrow.

You've two tickets for me for
Amsterdam. I reserved by telelphone.

What's the name sir?

Mr & Mrs Baron.

Just a second.

Two ticktes, that'll be
640 francs please.

There you are. Thank you.

Just walked out.
Two tickets for Amsterdam.

Alias Mr & Mrs Baron.

Zurich police headquarters

Saturday 3rd of October 5:54pm

I started to think they'd keep
me in there forever...

then they fell all over themselves
to be friendly. "Ms Gretz this
Gretz this,

your friend in the ministry of Justice that..."

Where are you taking me?

We're getting out Anna.

What? What's going on?

Listen to me Anna,

you'd better do just as I
say beginning this minute,

without asking any questions.

Sit down.

Why do you need my picture?
What is this?

The past 8 years you've been
living with someone who

wasn't what you thought.

I have an office with a fancy brass
plate, a telephone. It's all a mask.

And under that mask a poor pitiful
clown, me, Sebastien Grenier.

Over and above me there's an immense
Medusa, silent and menacing, grotesque.

Known as the French Secret service.
Now you know.

But what are you saying?
It sounds absurd.

You couldn't be more right.

You recall the day that
book was delivered?

Well that's when all this
madness started.

Since then everywhere I go
I leave death behind me.

Because of me Henri was murdered.

And those who killed him
will kill us.

Because once they start something, nothing
stops them. That's the way they do things.

But what does it have to do with you?

I'm just like they are Anna.

All that they learnt, I learnt.
Their values were my values.

And I may as well let you know the
worst of it because I learnt that too.

No matter where they go, no matter
how far, they'll find us.

It may be too late even now
but we have to try.

Why didn't you ever tell
me all of this?

How could you keep on lying to
me for years and years?

You'll see. It gets to be a habit.

Because now you're going
to have to lie.

Your name is Miss Janine
Baron, secretary.

You're married to a certain
Martin Baron.

In other words me.

If you want to stay, there's still
time. I'll understand.

You'll understand what?
You've never understood anything.

Do you think I'd have been more
interested in politics in the

third world if you'd been
more interested in me?

Sebastien, you don't just pick up and
leave like that, just walk out of home...

Yes you do.

Well of course I'm coming with you
Sebastien but first I've got to...

I have a family Sebastien,
my mother, my brother.

I can't just disappear this
way with no warning.

Give me time to go call
them at least.

Our reports mention he was frequently
with Anna Gretz in Munich.

You very sure you've never
seen him before?

Never.

Mr. Grenier, you're quite free
to go home now.

It might do you a lot of good
if you rest up a little.

I often find that when you are overtired
our memories play stupid little tricks.

I'll go with Mr Grenier.
I'll be right back.

No point in fooling ourselves.
The service is on the spot.

After all the arrests this morning there
was sure to be some reaction form the PAV.

What could they have possibly forseen
that Ms Gretz would be the scapegoat.

And what do you forsee from now on?

We've gotta be patient.

Patient?

It is a very irregular case to
be settled by irregular means.

A word that's taboo
around the police.

The terrain is much more familiar
to me than to Insp. Lohmann.

Given other circumstances he's
really very efficient, but here...

You know the routine. His
informers will nose around,

shake down the usual hideouts, lure out
of their hovels a few aging Trotskyites...

You know how far that'll get us.

Believe me, if they ask me to free
a few left-wingers for your wife

I'd open the cage,
and let them all out.

Free whoever you want, Chance
butmake it fast.

As soon as I know anything
you'll hear from me.

I have to talk to you.

It'll only take a second.

My car.

Well, are you going to
negotiate Grenier?

That's what's on your mind right?

You realise for us
this is unacceptable.

The most disheartening thing is,
you'll betray us for nothing.

You will never see Anna Gretz again.

She'll come out of this safe
and sound but you...

you'll be dead.

Because she's in on the
deal and you're not.

How do you face yourself
in the morning Richard?

When I'm looking in the mirror I simply think
of Chance and I find myself quite loveable.

Cross Anna Gretz off your list Grenier.

Because if you don't, Paris is
gonna cross you off.

That's all?

That's all.

Keep in mind that, if something
should happen to Anna,

alot of people are going to
get crossed off with her.

Come on. Get out of here!

You'll regret this Grenier.

Meeting to protest police repression

Ah hello inspector, come in.

I'm sorry to bother you...

inspector Lohmann would like you
to see him at the university.

Right away?

Yes, right away.

Is there something new?

I haven't been told.

I'll be right back.

I know how you feel Mr Grenier.

You have all my sympathy believe me.

"Here is how we deal with traitors,
and those in league with the police".

Those guys are really shabby.

I'm taking charge of this
case personally Mr Grenier.

I'll do everything in my power,
I assure you.

Right now we'll continue to interrigate
the radicals we arrested from the campus.

Unfortunately, as far as they're concerned, I
don't think we're gonna come up with anything.

You see, we haven't got very
much to work with.

Inspector Lohmann!

The car they used was stolen,
naturally...

sometime last night,
in the centre of town.

Oh it's you Mr. Grenier.

Call me the second you've
got anything.

Well, any news with Grenier?

He seems to have totally disappeared.

He hasn't been seen anywhere.

We're watching all the
usual places of course.

The airport, the rail stations,
the highways...

we're searching all the hotels.

There's more than 70, simply in town.

And several hundred streets! In
his place I'd stay in the street.

Simply because there's several hundred.

The suburbs of Zurich

Sumday 4th of October 4:15pm

Where's Grenier?

Have you seen Grenier?

Last night, he came very late.

He stayed ten minutes
then left again.

Sebastien Grenier's home

Sunday 4th of October 9:47pm

You're waiting for me?
Yes, I want to talk to you.

Why didn't you go in?

Normally you go in, you have a
beer, you make with a lot of talk.

Miserable bastard!
Was it you who killed Anna?

You're off your mind.
Anna was my friend.

Then who did?

Quick, Dieter,
quick, I'm in a hurry.

We were simply supposed to kidnap her. We'd set
her free in exchange for our comrades in jail.

But then he took her away.

Who took her away?

Ramos. Bastard.

A month ago he infiltrated our group.
And he was the one who killed Anna.

You know where this Ramos is?

No, but I bet I know where
his boyfriend is.

Rudy, he always hansg out at
the Kon-Tiki club.

Describe this Rudy.

Tall, blond..

He wears a big diamond in
his right ear.

You know, about Anna...

I didn't have anything to do
with it, believe me.

I believe you Dieter,
you wouldn't have the guts.

Can I help you?
What'll you have?

A gin and tonic.

There you are. Thanks.

Were you calling Ramos?

Well you needn't bother, we're
going there. Let's go.

Can we get out the back exit?
Come on.

Now where?

Open it!

Rudy...

Is that you?

Answer him.

Get out the car.
They just called me.

I've gotta go up there.

He said he's going out,
up there he said.

Where is up there?

The funicular.

What happens at the funicular?

That's where they get together.

That's where who gets together?

Rudy, I've got two bullets.

And I want to know.
Chance or Richard?

Sunday 4th of October 11:54pm

Paris - Palais del Elysee

Monday 5th of October 11:17pm

The death of Jean-Paul Chance has
greatly saddened the Soviet authorities.

Ourselves aswell, naturally.

Our ambassador sent a wreath to the
funeral, a very fine wreath.

You were quite right, after his wife's
death Grenier's mind became unhinged.

This being said, you could imagine the
consequences in Zurich, Moscow and...

even here in Paris if it was known that
it was actually you who had Anna Gretz.

We therefore think it indispensible...

and to close the file immediately
and permanently.

Immediately and permanently.

I'll see to that sir
tomorrow morning.

Zurich - The Catholic Cemetery

Tuesday 6th od October 9:22am

2 years later, hunters walking
through this clearing

near the Catholic Centre in Zurich,

discovered the remains of a body.
It was never identified.

No one will see Sebastien
Grenier again.
