Gossip says Jacques the Notary had a soft spot for her 67 00:12:37.485 --> 00:12:40.166 But what could that have to do with anything? 68 00:12:40.383 --> 00:12:44.424 Manouche saw nothing: she was concentrating on making up a bill 69 00:12:46.906 --> 00:12:51.382 And here’s the second barman: Marcel from St Etienne, if memory serves 70 00:12:52.474 --> 00:12:57.787 A fierce man bursting in so distressed Marcel, he can’t possibly describe him 71 00:12:58.264 --> 00:13:02.899 He hid behind the bar, and only now he has ventured out 72 00:13:03.119 --> 00:13:05.747 He didn’t see a thing. Right, Marcel? 73 00:13:06.927 --> 00:13:08.647 Take your time 74 00:13:08.936 --> 00:13:11.536 It’s just as if you had been here 75 00:13:11.786 --> 00:13:15.906 Note the honesty and the amenability of the witness, gentlemen 76 00:13:17.713 --> 00:13:23.180 Here we have the commissionaire, an honorable man whose name escapes me 77 00:13:23.496 --> 00:13:27.828 He saw customers come in, but heard nothing because of the traffic 78 00:13:27.828 --> 00:13:30.884 Trains and the trucks are so noisy 79 00:13:31.292 --> 00:13:35.371 He saw customers come out, but of course, saw nothing unusual in that 80 00:13:35.371 --> 00:13:39.816 They told him a man had died and he’s still suffering from shock 81 00:13:39.816 --> 00:13:42.786 Are you able to speak yet? 82 00:13:42.995 --> 00:13:44.560 A real shock it was 83 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:48.409 I have no wish to torture you further.

We’ll know in a day or two 98 00:14:49.930 --> 00:14:55.910 Only the corpse is to go; the standard formula will cover the rest 99 00:14:55.632 --> 00:15:00.610 You may be wanted for questioning: don’t leave town without advising us 100 00:15:04.607 --> 00:15:06.183 He had family in Paris? 101 00:15:06.636 --> 00:15:10.655 No. Not as far as I’m aware.

Now Paul is taking things easy 293 00:43:19.602 --> 00:43:25.147 More or less easy, I’d say, because I know something you don’t know 294 00:43:26.499 --> 00:43:29.130 Three days after Jacques… 295 00:43:29.355 --> 00:43:34.820 …a couple of third-class punks, hardly rating even that high… 296 00:43:34.290 --> 00:43:39.184 …get taken for a ride at Ville d’Avray – you’ve seen the papers? 297 00:43:41.610 --> 00:43:44.870 I knew them… just as customers, I mean 298 00:43:44.927 --> 00:43:46.976 Still the same old Jo 299 00:43:47.314 --> 00:43:49.434 -What will you have, Inspector? -A cognac 300 00:43:49.888 --> 00:43:53.205 So this Tourneur and this Bartel used to come here, did they? 301 00:43:53.761 --> 00:43:58.483 Two cheap crooks, yet they get themselves killed like big shots 302 00:43:59.310 --> 00:44:03.742 You realize what a scene those two upstarts wormed themselves into? 303 00:44:07.226 --> 00:44:09.344 Unless someone fixed it 304 00:44:10.609 --> 00:44:15.462 There’s a house close to the spot where we found the car… 305 00:44:15.825 --> 00:44:18.389 …yet no one heard a thing 306 00:44:18.703 --> 00:44:22.813 They were shot in the car while it was still on the road 307 00:44:24.487 --> 00:44:29.949 I spent the night combing a pile of records. Guess what I found? 308 00:44:31.356 --> 00:44:36.368 The death of Francis the Gimp, fifteen years ago. A straight road, three shots 309 00:44:37.982 --> 00:44:43.300 But at the time everyone thought that Gu did it.

Our two punks were here, Probably heard about Manouche 315 00:45:04.150 --> 00:45:05.752 I hadn’t thought of that 316 00:45:05.963 --> 00:45:10.312 Never mind. I’m paid to think, and sometimes do it without thinking 317 00:45:10.700 --> 00:45:15.769 So our two punks learn that Manouche’s boyfriend is dead… 318 00:45:15.769 --> 00:45:19.807 …and decide a visit to the widow might bring easy pickings 319 00:45:19.807 --> 00:45:23.173 Off they go, and run straight into Gu 320 00:45:23.173 --> 00:45:27.525 We can fill in the details later.

Gu will love someone making trouble for Manouche 329 00:45:55.156 --> 00:45:58.150 I don’t give a damn what he thinks 330 00:45:58.421 --> 00:46:01.434 I’m not responsible for my customers 331 00:46:01.778 --> 00:46:07.244 Suppose he disagrees? He knows where you are, but you don’t know where he is 332 00:46:08.350 --> 00:46:09.811 Do you know? 333 00:46:10.557 --> 00:46:12.951 Not yet, but I will 334 00:46:14.689 --> 00:46:17.101 This Gu is crazy 335 00:46:20.450 --> 00:46:22.155 How’s your son doing at school? 336 00:46:22.953 --> 00:46:27.443 I’m sending him to England, then Germany, to help with his exams 337 00:46:27.713 --> 00:46:30.999 I hope you live to see him receive his diploma 338 00:46:30.999 --> 00:46:32.750 I’m not afraid 339 00:46:32.750 --> 00:46:36.340 That won’t make the danger go away. Think of your family 340 00:46:36.268 --> 00:46:40.860 I must talk to you again. I can’t think tonight 341 00:46:40.860 --> 00:46:43.403 You know where to find me. I’ll leave the back way 342 00:47:33.764 --> 00:47:34.871 It’s me 343 00:47:39.510 --> 00:47:40.537 I was fast asleep 344 00:47:45.967 --> 00:47:49.284 I’ll take these, or she’ll go crazy looking for them 345 00:47:52.939 --> 00:47:54.441 She’s leaving 346 00:47:54.973 --> 00:48:00.201 She says she can’t stand the rain in this country and that you need sun 347 00:48:01.147 --> 00:48:05.466 She’ll make sure she isn’t followed, then find you a hideout in Marseilles 348 00:48:07.670 --> 00:48:10.215 Her cousin Theo Cassini has a boat. You know him? 349 00:48:10.787 --> 00:48:12.384 Sort of 350 00:48:14.330 --> 00:48:17.895 He’ll tell you about papers, depending on where you’re going 351 00:48:18.897 --> 00:48:22.953 I’m broke, Alban. I can’t leave the country empty handed 352 00:48:23.649 --> 00:48:28.141 I know a place in Italy, but I need at least a small stake 353 00:48:29.126 --> 00:48:31.881 I have an account to settle, too 354 00:48:32.186 --> 00:48:34.571 I’d hate to leave Jo Ricci to grow old and fat 355 00:48:34.811 --> 00:48:37.470 Some things you can’t swallow 356 00:48:38.947 --> 00:48:43.924 I know you’d insist on helping, so maybe I’ll let it go 357 00:48:44.300 --> 00:48:46.320 I’ll just do the driving 358 00:48:51.426 --> 00:48:55.465 Here is Jo Ricci’s bar in Rue Washington, with a back entry through the yard 359 00:48:55.465 --> 00:48:59.197 This is where he lives, in the Place des Etats-Unis 360 00:49:00.124 --> 00:49:03.424 Have both telephones monitored… 361 00:49:03.643 --> 00:49:06.258 …his home and the bar 362 00:49:06.742 --> 00:49:11.260 I’ve got Jo nervous enough to make a move. He may be getting a call 363 00:49:11.260 --> 00:49:13.852 -What sort of call? An invitation to a funeral 364 00:49:14.252 --> 00:49:19.609 You won’t get advance notice. Don’t act until afterwards, and make it good 365 00:49:19.609 --> 00:49:22.324 You won’t have time before, anyway 366 00:49:23.566 --> 00:49:27.348 So, if I get you right, Chapter One: Jo breakfasts on hot lead 367 00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:31.628 Chapter Two: if we can’t act, we wait. Who appears in Chapter Three? 368 00:49:32.429 --> 00:49:33.818 Gu and Alban 369 00:49:33.818 --> 00:49:36.447 -Isn’t in the bag -No, it isn’t 370 00:49:36.447 --> 00:49:40.828 Alban can hit a crow’s foot at I forget how many paces 371 00:49:40.828 --> 00:49:43.972 He’s why Manouche stays healthy 372 00:49:44.336 --> 00:49:47.476 I told you about Gu the other night 373 00:49:47.476 --> 00:49:52.609 If they come, Jo won’t eat Christmas Turkey. Only those two can get to him 374 00:49:54.348 --> 00:49:58.990 So this is an order: if you don’t have a clear shot, do nothing 375 00:49:59.636 --> 00:50:05.269 It’s now or never. I doubt if Jo’s going to hang around for long 376 00:50:54.729 --> 00:50:59.711 Leterrier’s in position at the bar. Alban’s strolling along the street 377 00:50:59.973 --> 00:51:03.839 And Jo Ricci’s booked on the two o’clock flight to Corsica 378 00:51:06.998 --> 00:51:11.663 At Jo Ricci’s house I saw luggage being loaded into his Ford 379 00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:14.969 If we’re quick, we can catch him at the bar 380 00:51:16.605 --> 00:51:18.694 Drive past without stopping 381 00:51:19.140 --> 00:51:20.270 It’s a one-way 382 00:51:26.402 --> 00:51:29.320 Go round the Etoile and come back 383 00:51:42.950 --> 00:51:46.957 We’re at each end of the street. Get Leterrier out of there 384 00:52:01.991 --> 00:52:03.996 Alban checked the back entry 385 00:52:03.996 --> 00:52:06.309 With luck there won’t be crowds about 386 00:52:26.430 --> 00:52:27.405 We’re almost there 387 00:52:40.986 --> 00:52:42.615 I’m not going in 388 00:52:50.767 --> 00:52:52.222 Did you spot something? 389 00:52:54.349 --> 00:52:56.539 No, it didn’t feel right 390 00:53:47.868 --> 00:53:52.720 I think I’d better leave you here until Manouche sends word what to do 391 00:54:15.536 --> 00:54:18.979 My dear Alban… at a loose end? 392 00:54:19.517 --> 00:54:20.591 Out walking 393 00:54:20.795 --> 00:54:22.955 So am I. Shall we go this way? 394 00:54:24.894 --> 00:54:27.575 -How’s your charming employer? -She’s gone 395 00:54:28.996 --> 00:54:30.969 She’d had enough 396 00:54:31.580 --> 00:54:33.411 For how long a rest? 397 00:54:33.650 --> 00:54:36.290 Oh, she just went… you know how it is 398 00:54:36.290 --> 00:54:41.579 Everyone seems to be leaving. I know someone who’s flown off to Corsica 399 00:54:42.237 --> 00:54:44.270 Some have all the luck 400 00:54:44.543 --> 00:54:46.742 But you’re staying? 401 00:54:46.742 --> 00:54:49.458 I have to run the business for Manouche 402 00:54:51.970 --> 00:54:55.243 Not a word as the whereabouts of Gustave Minda 403 00:54:55.493 --> 00:54:57.794 He’s really covered his tracks 404 00:54:57.794 --> 00:55:01.956 Old boars are always the hardest to flush out 405 00:55:02.851 --> 00:55:06.451 And when you do, they always manage to kill two or three hounds 406 00:55:06.451 --> 00:55:09.707 I don’t enjoy hunting a man like that 407 00:55:09.707 --> 00:55:12.902 That’s understandable. I cross over here 408 00:55:13.117 --> 00:55:15.662 Watch how you go 409 00:55:16.916 --> 00:55:19.262 Long live the underworld! 410 00:55:24.272 --> 00:55:26.679 Tell the boys that’s it for today 411 00:56:10.470 --> 00:56:12.300 You’ve got to help me, Theo 412 00:56:12.393 --> 00:56:17.787 I need a furnished house locally. Price doesn’t matter, but no names 413 00:56:18.978 --> 00:56:22.949 An out-of-the-way place where I can hide someone 414 00:56:23.198 --> 00:56:24.988 Who’ll be needing the boat? 415 00:56:27.754 --> 00:56:30.285 It’s Gustave Minda 416 00:56:30.550 --> 00:56:32.240 I thought so 417 00:56:32.334 --> 00:56:33.522 Can you fix it? 418 00:56:33.522 --> 00:56:38.820 There’s my father’s old house. No one goes there in winter 419 00:56:38.426 --> 00:56:40.242 I’ll go and get it ready 420 00:56:41.710 --> 00:56:42.944 You’ll be saving his life 421 00:56:43.968 --> 00:56:45.594 What about the boat? 422 00:56:46.307 --> 00:56:50.452 It isn’t small fry. It won’t be easy, getting him through 423 00:56:50.908 --> 00:56:55.230 -I’ll try it. Does he have papers? -Not yet 424 00:56:55.258 --> 00:56:57.243 We’ll see to it 425 00:57:02.782 --> 00:57:07.241 What’s this she’s dreamed up? A crate marked “This side up” 426 00:57:07.570 --> 00:57:09.983 I might do the trip upside-down, like a fakir 427 00:57:10.909 --> 00:57:12.375 Cops are everywhere 428 00:57:12.612 --> 00:57:16.479 Naturally. What do you suppose it was like after I went over the wall? 429 00:57:22.640 --> 00:57:23.806 I live my own plan 430 00:57:24.144 --> 00:57:27.380 Try to work it out right 431 00:57:32.140 --> 00:57:33.351 I’m carrying 432 00:57:34.157 --> 00:57:37.635 This is different. I’ve never been parted from it 433 00:57:39.404 --> 00:57:41.343 My dear Alban… 434 01:00:14.650 --> 01:00:18.360 -Is your boat in good shape, Theo? -Still afloat, as you see 435 01:00:19.880 --> 01:00:22.416 It could be on its way to Sicily before very long 436 01:00:23.122 --> 01:00:26.249 I’m going to be on a big deal… or at least, maybe I am 437 01:00:26.523 --> 01:00:30.869 I’ve got an Italian trip on, the south, I think. Maybe we could combine them 438 01:00:31.290 --> 01:00:34.828 I’m not too keen. Which is the riskiest bit, leaving or arriving? 439 01:00:35.200 --> 01:00:38.237 Arriving, but mostly during the trip itself 440 01:00:38.503 --> 01:00:40.585 It’s something important? 441 01:00:42.884 --> 01:00:44.843 You’ll be able to retire soon 442 01:00:45.438 --> 01:00:48.333 -This one I’m only charging expenses -You’ve changed 443 01:00:48.803 --> 01:00:52.385 The thing is, he needs papers. You can tell… it’s Gu 444 01:00:55.827 --> 01:00:59.190 I’ll see to the papers. When does he want to leave? 445 01:00:59.448 --> 01:01:00.838 They’re waiting on me 446 01:01:01.732 --> 01:01:03.847 His woman’s going, too 447 01:01:05.610 --> 01:01:09.317 Tell him the papers will take a week, and he should grow a moustache 448 01:01:09.317 --> 01:01:12.902 Also I need to get two photographs, or a film I’ll develop 449 01:01:14.450 --> 01:01:15.785 Don’t mention my name 450 01:01:16.201 --> 01:01:16.942 Money? 451 01:01:17.186 --> 01:01:20.742 It’s strange, but I feel like making a donation, too 452 01:01:21.795 --> 01:01:26.626 One other thing: ask Gu if he wants to pick up two million before leaving 453 01:01:27.850 --> 01:01:29.302 Miami’s fine for millionaires 454 01:01:29.722 --> 01:01:31.960 Two million francs? 455 01:01:32.908 --> 01:01:36.672 It’s the job I mentioned. But I’ve got time, Gu hasn’t 456 01:01:39.850 --> 01:01:44.480 It comes off in three weeks from now. Tell Gu I need a quick decision 457 01:01:46.590 --> 01:01:49.939 Meanwhile, no matter what, I’ll see about those papers 458 01:02:44.272 --> 01:02:45.894 We have to wait, though 459 01:02:46.152 --> 01:02:50.534 Theo will see about the papers and tell us when he can take us 460 01:02:50.751 --> 01:02:53.350 I’m in no hurry to get to Italy broke 461 01:02:53.662 --> 01:02:55.532 We’re not broke 462 01:02:55.791 --> 01:02:57.317 Not us. Me 463 01:02:57.817 --> 01:02:59.671 I thought I was going along 464 01:02:59.671 --> 01:03:01.382 Exactly 465 01:03:04.461 --> 01:03:05.402 It’s Theo 466 01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:21.921 I’ve got news 467 01:03:23.112 --> 01:03:28.348 We need two photographs for papers. I have a camera. Also… 468 01:03:31.867 --> 01:03:34.280 What would you say to two million? 469 01:03:35.638 --> 01:03:40.304 Some guy needs a hand. Equal shares: two million francs each 470 01:03:41.537 --> 01:03:44.698 Two million and you’re not interested yourself? 471 01:03:45.274 --> 01:03:47.142 I’m too old to risk it 472 01:03:47.441 --> 01:03:51.500 You have some nerve! Don’t you think it’s risky for Gu, too? 473 01:03:51.548 --> 01:03:54.786 Ask him if that gold train job he did was easy 474 01:03:55.600 --> 01:03:56.342 It didn’t kill me 475 01:03:56.711 --> 01:03:58.745 What about your friend Roger? 476 01:03:58.954 --> 01:04:01.489 -No one made him take part -No one’s making you act stupid 477 01:04:01.740 --> 01:04:03.501 I have no choice 478 01:04:04.809 --> 01:04:06.570 I won’t let him do it 479 01:04:07.900 --> 01:04:11.560 -Can you name names? Paul… Paul Ricci 480 01:04:13.483 --> 01:04:14.932 Count me in, then 481 01:04:15.924 --> 01:04:19.316 If I’d known, I’d never have got in touch with you 482 01:04:20.728 --> 01:04:22.274 Listen, Manouche… 483 01:04:28.206 --> 01:04:33.760 I know you’re straight, and I like your care in choosing your team 484 01:04:34.750 --> 01:04:38.676 I didn’t refuse on the spot because it’s too big a deal 485 01:04:39.354 --> 01:04:41.276 But I’ve considered carefully 486 01:04:41.276 --> 01:04:45.156 If the hold-up is on the highway, I can only take a few seconds 487 01:04:45.156 --> 01:04:49.497 How can you deal with the motorcycle escort in so short a time? 488 01:04:49.849 --> 01:04:51.104 Kill them 489 01:04:54.376 --> 01:04:57.738 In that case, two million doesn’t seem enough to me 490 01:04:59.136 --> 01:05:04.331 Don’t worry, a hundred million wouldn’t be. I’m opting out 491 01:05:19.416 --> 01:05:24.126 Now, if I may, I’ll tell you about someone who wants to opt in 492 01:05:24.126 --> 01:05:26.450 No one asked you to do that 493 01:05:26.968 --> 01:05:28.315 It’s a risky job 494 01:05:28.315 --> 01:05:30.778 -Some foreigner? -No 495 01:05:31.700 --> 01:05:34.639 It’s someone you know well. His name is Gustave Minda 496 01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:39.190 Gu? The cops are after him; I thought he was far away by now 497 01:05:40.462 --> 01:05:42.149 Gu here? In this hole? 498 01:05:42.149 --> 01:05:47.775 A last fling before leaving France. He doesn’t know who’s in on it, though 499 01:05:48.101 --> 01:05:52.910 Tell him about me, that he’s in, and if he wants anything, just to ask 500 01:05:52.461 --> 01:05:53.665 He won’t 501 01:05:54.100 --> 01:05:56.578 The years inside must have aged him 502 01:05:58.235 --> 01:06:01.380 I’ve met some of his cell mates 503 01:06:01.741 --> 01:06:04.629 He’s finished. He might crack at any time 504 01:06:05.470 --> 01:06:06.937 Yet he escaped 505 01:06:06.937 --> 01:06:11.728 They got him out. That guy who escaped with him, Bernard… 506 01:06:12.225 --> 01:06:14.957 …he jumped off a cliff when caught 507 01:06:14.957 --> 01:06:19.141 The moral is don’t get caught. Three of them escaped 508 01:06:19.141 --> 01:06:23.450 Gu’s fine, the other two are dead. I’ll answer for him 509 01:06:25.273 --> 01:06:27.545 You don’t have to work with him 510 01:06:27.545 --> 01:06:32.721 Gu will be in the car with Pascal and me. He’ll do fine, better than Jeannot 511 01:06:33.860 --> 01:06:34.855 I’m sure of that 512 01:06:35.162 --> 01:06:37.468 What about afterwards? 513 01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:42.704 During and after. But so what? I’ll do my job and take my cut 514 01:06:42.704 --> 01:06:46.167 If things go wrong in the car, you’ll have to do his job 515 01:06:46.492 --> 01:06:47.893 Afterwards, you said? 516 01:06:47.893 --> 01:06:50.814 Yes. Gu hasn’t moved with the times 517 01:06:50.814 --> 01:06:53.929 His ideas could lead to problems 518 01:06:54.720 --> 01:06:56.850 I’ll answer for afterwards, too 519 01:06:57.188 --> 01:06:59.762 In that case, I agree 520 01:06:59.762 --> 01:07:04.220 -Can we talk details with Gu? -If you meet me here two hours before hand 521 01:07:04.315 --> 01:07:09.199 -How soon will we know when? -We’ll know the time the day before 522 01:07:09.576 --> 01:07:12.610 Let me know; Gu will be there 523 01:07:12.877 --> 01:07:17.210 By the way, don’t mention my name. Gu doesn’t know I’m involved 524 01:07:17.508 --> 01:07:21.967 He’d want to see me, and I’d rather not know where he’s hiding out 525 01:07:22.266 --> 01:07:25.377 Some you trust, some you don’t 526 01:07:32.562 --> 01:07:35.458 Gentlemen, you know you have my good wishes 527 01:07:39.388 --> 01:07:42.970 He’s beginning to get up my nose 528 01:07:42.298 --> 01:07:44.980 I wouldn’t let it show 529 01:07:44.980 --> 01:07:46.476 What could he do, for all his airs? 530 01:07:46.476 --> 01:07:50.416 If you want to grow old to enjoy your cut, forget Orloff 531 01:07:58.430 --> 01:08:02.531 Tell Alban to stop worrying. My luck’s come back 532 01:08:04.472 --> 01:08:08.270 Suppose things go wrong, what could I do? 533 01:08:09.353 --> 01:08:12.935 When you get back, everything will be fine 534 01:08:14.740 --> 01:08:15.569 Here’s Theo 535 01:08:51.633 --> 01:08:54.512 The same night, 23.58 536 01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:03.214 The van and two motorcycles escorts leave Toulon tomorrow at two p.m. 537 01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:07.581 They’ll head for Cap d’Agde along secondary roads 538 01:09:07.581 --> 01:09:11.407 There’ll be a man sitting beside the driver… 539 01:09:12.557 --> 01:09:15.201 …and another with the crates in the back 540 01:11:05.381 --> 01:11:06.883 I’m glad you’re here, Gu 541 01:11:22.200 --> 01:11:23.300 Gypsy? 542 01:11:23.973 --> 01:11:25.915 Come and sit down 543 01:11:26.384 --> 01:11:29.199 Get him a drink, Antoine 544 01:11:31.890 --> 01:11:35.206 -How do you feel?

Alban never left Paris 641 01:35:02.294 --> 01:35:06.801 So Gu was in on it with other associates.

He’ll pull in a few suspicious characters 649 01:35:36.996 --> 01:35:41.596 The guys who did the job are something else. After all, they knew Gu 650 01:35:43.536 --> 01:35:46.663 Policemen aren’t magicians, you know 651 01:35:46.663 --> 01:35:52.502 If we don’t get a break, Gu will be off and that’ll be it 652 01:35:52.907 --> 01:35:55.690 We can lay our hands on the others 653 01:35:55.753 --> 01:35:59.479 But someone in hiding is easier to find 654 01:35:59.773 --> 01:36:01.682 He’s behaving abnormally 655 01:36:01.998 --> 01:36:04.151 We could run pictures in the papers 656 01:36:04.436 --> 01:36:08.564 No pictures. Gu wouldn’t venture out, and we want him to do that 657 01:36:09.748 --> 01:36:12.696 So have to trust to luck.

You used to keep your mouth shut 745 01:47:38.864 --> 01:47:43.350 Time was when anyone hobnobbing with regional police would be cut dead… 746 01:47:43.291 --> 01:47:45.883 …and police didn’t fraternize with crooks 747 01:47:47.700 --> 01:47:50.349 Now you’re all pals together and pass each other tips 748 01:47:51.205 --> 01:47:55.240 It makes the job easy, but it makes me want to be sick 749 01:47:55.480 --> 01:47:59.655 Try not to be sick here. Fardiano’s no nurse 750 01:47:59.967 --> 01:48:04.300 I’m going back to Paris. Any messages for Manouche and Alban? 751 01:48:06.463 --> 01:48:07.575 Friends of yours? 752 01:48:07.575 --> 01:48:11.223 No, yours.

Or else Paul’s gone mad 769 01:49:29.448 --> 01:49:34.660 Nevada turned the job over for a 50% cut: day, time, everything 770 01:49:34.903 --> 01:49:39.988 Instead, Paul kept the lot, and you’re splitting it four ways 771 01:49:40.459 --> 01:49:42.808 Four ways? No, five 772 01:49:44.452 --> 01:49:47.157 Our informant had to be cut in 773 01:49:48.600 --> 01:49:51.195 That’s the best joke yet! 774 01:49:51.541 --> 01:49:54.260 Our informant was Nevada 775 01:49:55.350 --> 01:49:58.830 So Paul grabbed himself a double share… 776 01:50:00.225 --> 01:50:02.265 Well, was I bluffing? 777 01:50:02.546 --> 01:50:04.872 It’s not true! 778 01:50:05.685 --> 01:50:08.560 Remorse is to be expected 779 01:50:08.560 --> 01:50:10.360 Is this a madhouse? 780 01:50:10.360 --> 01:50:13.750 That depends on who we get here 781 01:50:13.368 --> 01:50:17.235 I’m innocent.

Where were you on the afternoon of the 28th? 785 01:50:40.143 --> 01:50:45.360 At home. I went down with flu on Christmas Eve 786 01:50:45.655 --> 01:50:48.456 -We’ll check that. Anyone see you? -My wife 787 01:50:48.456 --> 01:50:50.756 -Anyone else? -Isn’t she enough? 788 01:50:51.121 --> 01:50:55.578 Sure. Naturally no one else saw you because you were out killing policemen 789 01:50:56.200 --> 01:50:58.850 If you have the flu, people don’t pay social calls 790 01:50:59.500 --> 01:51:01.102 You? At home with your wife? 791 01:51:01.102 --> 01:51:03.892 We love each other. Is that against the law? 792 01:51:05.668 --> 01:51:08.172 He must be thirsty. Give him a drink 793 01:51:09.440 --> 01:51:13.450 I don’t think it was you who shot the two motorcyclists 794 01:51:13.672 --> 01:51:16.218 You were driving, weren’t you? 795 01:51:16.481 --> 01:51:20.881 You won’t be able to claim we roughed you up: no bruises 796 01:51:21.707 --> 01:51:25.430 Be reasonable. You’ll make us get cross 797 01:51:25.430 --> 01:51:29.891 Wouldn’t it be more sensible to talk, especially if you were driving? 798 01:51:30.178 --> 01:51:33.991 I know nothing about a car, and I haven’t done anything 799 01:51:34.934 --> 01:51:36.652 I want to see my lawyer 800 01:51:37.827 --> 01:51:39.814 Here we go again 801 01:51:43.851 --> 01:51:45.668 Do you know him? 802 01:51:46.577 --> 01:51:49.345 No, I’ve never seen him before 803 01:51:49.612 --> 01:51:52.174 But there are limits! He is a human being 804 01:51:52.174 --> 01:51:55.829 Weren’t the two motorcyclists? Didn’t they have families? 805 01:51:55.829 --> 01:51:59.908 Did you give them a chance? No, you condemned them without a hearing 806 01:52:00.782 --> 01:52:02.944 I’m sure you’ll adopt their kids 807 01:52:03.873 --> 01:52:05.478 Confess, that’s all I ask 808 01:52:08.954 --> 01:52:11.740 Out already! “The bloody hold-up affair” 809 01:52:12.190 --> 01:52:15.272 “To save his life, Gu Minda talked” 810 01:52:15.272 --> 01:52:21.410 “One of his associates, Paul Ricci, is in custody. Other arrests imminent” 811 01:52:29.369 --> 01:52:29.921 Ambulance! 812 01:52:31.735 --> 01:52:37.763 He hates being thought a squealer. Make sure the word gets around 813 01:52:43.280 --> 01:52:45.929 He didn’t talk, I know that 814 01:52:46.658 --> 01:52:49.665 It’s a lie, to make people desert him 815 01:52:49.870 --> 01:52:52.992 No one will believe that, Gu was arrested first 816 01:52:53.261 --> 01:52:54.372 Do you? 817 01:52:54.605 --> 01:52:58.454 I don’t give a damn. For me, Gu is Gu 818 01:53:00.393 --> 01:53:01.963 Mine alone 819 01:53:02.334 --> 01:53:05.920 He won’t want to live with people believing that 820 01:53:06.124 --> 01:53:07.341 So we help? 821 01:53:08.219 --> 01:53:12.573 We’ll wait a few days. It’s no use with the cops on the alert 822 01:53:16.406 --> 01:53:19.111 I warned him, but your brother swore by Gu 823 01:53:19.111 --> 01:53:23.441 It’s no surprise. Even in prison, Gu didn’t toe the line 824 01:53:24.220 --> 01:53:28.876 It’s a pity Paul didn’t check with me. It’s obvious Gu squealed 825 01:53:29.519 --> 01:53:34.290 Let’s wait till Paul’s hearing. There’s only Gu’s word against him 826 01:53:34.817 --> 01:53:37.231 Let’s hope that’s all Gu says 827 01:53:37.231 --> 01:53:39.480 He and Orloff are two of a kind 828 01:53:41.340 --> 01:53:45.574 Yes, Paul bawled me out because I didn’t care for Orloff’s airs 829 01:53:46.192 --> 01:53:48.413 Orloff was in on this? 830 01:53:48.756 --> 01:53:52.835 We went to see him because he put Gu in touch with Paul 831 01:53:53.116 --> 01:53:54.673 He’s still in Marseilles 832 01:53:55.590 --> 01:53:58.187 Let’s ask what he thinks about Gu 833 01:53:58.187 --> 01:53:59.939 We should do just that 834 01:54:04.490 --> 01:54:06.356 Tell him I’m waiting 835 01:54:06.572 --> 01:54:08.610 He won’t be overjoyed 836 01:54:10.470 --> 01:54:13.331 A friend… Gu’s woman 837 01:54:13.542 --> 01:54:16.924 Orloff, a friend of Gu’s. I’ve been in touch 838 01:54:17.247 --> 01:54:19.389 -You’ve seen him? -No, I haven’t seen him 839 01:54:19.717 --> 01:54:23.400 Could you find a way for me to see him? 840 01:54:23.400 --> 01:54:27.564 I’ll try. I’ll come back tomorrow around three, to let you know 841 01:54:35.914 --> 01:54:38.340 How will this turn out for Gu? 842 01:54:38.561 --> 01:54:43.161 With a woman like that on his side, his troubles will fade away 843 01:54:43.527 --> 01:54:46.385 Meanwhile, I have to see Jo Ricci 844 01:54:46.385 --> 01:54:50.140 I’ve set up a meeting in a place I own 845 01:54:50.140 --> 01:54:53.115 Watch yourself. Jo Ricci has a lousy reputation 846 01:54:53.915 --> 01:54:57.398 I’m more worried about that kid Antoine 847 01:59:12.839 --> 01:59:14.880 This is serious about Paul 848 01:59:16.168 --> 01:59:17.572 He’s always used good men 849 01:59:17.853 --> 01:59:18.658 Them, too 850 01:59:18.908 --> 01:59:21.173 Paul’s inside, not them 851 01:59:21.893 --> 01:59:25.671 You wished that louse on Paul, who was sorry for him 852 01:59:25.963 --> 01:59:27.525 You’ve been fed lies 853 01:59:28.280 --> 01:59:30.770 Let’s stick to you and Gu 854 01:59:30.655 --> 01:59:34.300 Alright. If Gu denounced Paul, why not you two as well? 855 01:59:36.163 --> 01:59:37.937 Seeing Paul, maybe 856 01:59:38.231 --> 01:59:40.693 He’ll shop us if he gets scared again 857 01:59:41.300 --> 01:59:44.802 I think a trap was laid for him. Inspector Blot has been around 858 01:59:45.397 --> 01:59:49.747 Traps don’t work if you keep your mouth shut and mind your airs 859 01:59:52.320 --> 01:59:54.379 You got Paul into this 860 01:59:54.617 --> 01:59:56.262 I’m ready to help 861 01:59:56.467 --> 01:59:59.286 Paul has a brother and friends 862 01:59:59.951 --> 02:00:02.380 You take care of Gu 863 02:00:02.444 --> 02:00:03.868 I see 864 02:00:05.335 --> 02:00:10.520 Gu had help all around since his escape, and it’ll probably continue 865 02:00:11.929 --> 02:00:16.420 If he escapes again, kill him and we’ll say no more 866 02:00:16.353 --> 02:00:17.638 It’s only right 867 02:00:18.720 --> 02:00:19.641 And we’ll all rest easy 868 02:00:19.848 --> 02:00:21.832 You have it all worked out 869 02:00:22.971 --> 02:00:25.210 I like to know where I stand 870 02:00:28.744 --> 02:00:34.360 If it can be proved that Gu squealed, he dies 871 02:00:34.349 --> 02:00:36.980 Haven’t you read the papers? 872 02:00:36.980 --> 02:00:42.768 They don’t mention Blot. Only Gu, Blot and Fardiano know the truth 873 02:00:42.768 --> 02:00:47.932 My brother has talked to his lawyer. Gu shopped him all right 874 02:00:47.932 --> 02:00:53.154 Your brother trusted Gu completely. He was all for it when I suggested him 875 02:00:53.154 --> 02:00:57.444 That’s no reason. I have all the proof I need 876 02:00:58.198 --> 02:01:00.515 Gu has got to die 877 02:01:01.753 --> 02:01:05.332 Listen, Fardiano isn’t particulary bright 878 02:01:05.568 --> 02:01:11.330 I can make enquiries. If they confirm what you say, I’ll kill Gu 879 02:01:11.998 --> 02:01:13.171 If not? 880 02:01:13.474 --> 02:01:15.474 It’s not my concern 881 02:01:15.833 --> 02:01:18.103 We needn’t follow suit 882 02:01:19.440 --> 02:01:21.611 You can do as you like 883 02:01:22.235 --> 02:01:25.990 And if we can’t get to Gu, we can always settle with you 884 02:01:30.456 --> 02:01:31.958 When? 885 02:01:32.865 --> 02:01:34.164 Whenever you like 886 02:02:00.833 --> 02:02:04.515 People get worked up in situations like this. You talk too much 887 02:02:07.796 --> 02:02:11.994 You’re looking out for Paul, and that’s fine. But I’m not on your payroll 888 02:02:13.680 --> 02:02:16.343 A brother is a brother; I quite understand 889 02:02:16.703 --> 02:02:20.534 But keep your friend under control. I won’t say that again. 890 02:02:21.134 --> 02:02:25.399 If Gu squealed, he dies. That’s all I have to say 891 02:05:09.589 --> 02:05:13.704 I know you’ve done nothing to blame yourself for 892 02:05:14.814 --> 02:05:18.951 I came out with his name. Me, Gu Minda!

It isn’t possible 898 02:05:43.904 --> 02:05:48.126 No… you deserved better than this 899 02:05:48.641 --> 02:05:51.520 I should have never come back 900 02:05:52.429 --> 02:05:55.423 Yes, you should 901 02:06:27.864 --> 02:06:32.294 Drive on till I tell you to stop.
