Original subtitles

I can't find the keys. Let me try. Let me try.

There, now you've got it. Wrong key. That opens the strong box.

Oh, you can say that again.

Voila. Oh, such nimble fingers.

After you, my dear.

Jack, the safe.

What does it say? Nothing.

Next time, I'll make sure Christine is there.

Christine! They've ripped the whole place apart.

That guy's completely crazy.

Simon. Simon?

Simon Templer. He can help us. I'll call him right away.

According to BBC sources in Paris, close to the investigation, the interview with

George Lafosse is the first positive action taken by examining magistrate

Jean Grissonnet since Jacques and Christine Coutard were killed in their

apartment almost three weeks ago.

Mr. Lafosse is known to be involved in real estate.

Nice to see you.

That's it.

How are you going to set up a meeting with La Force?

I don't know.

Something will come up.

Something usually does.

Especially in Paris.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Simple. I'm just... No, no. Don't tell me.

Please. I'm a policeman, not your accomplice. I don't need to know.

Well, I mean, I prefer not to know.

I'm very sorry about your friends.

Thank you.

So am I.

Don't underestimate the fools.

I find people underestimate me.

What do I have to do, Judge?

No tricks.

If there's another time, I'll kill them all.

Chief Prosecutor, please.

Jean Brissonnet.

Hello, yes.

Yes.

It's George LaFosse.

No case.

He's here now.

We will have to drop the case. Any sufficient evidence, I'm afraid.

Do you mean you have nothing?

I'll have to start all over again.

No, he doesn't look very good, no.

Thank you.

I've seen that face before.

Find out who that guy is.

Okay, Max.

George.

Any problems?

None. Okay, get out of there. Don't hang around.

Boss, there's a big sapphire here.

Uh, leave it.

Uh, wait a minute.

How do you know it's a sapphire?

The Brissonet woman told me before I gagged her.

What kind of sapphire?

A sapphire.

Asteria, she said.

Asteria?

That sound right?

It's pretty big. Leave it.

No, no, to hell with it. Take it.

Ever see a sapphire hysteria, Jim?

No, not me.

What about you, Jules?

Never heard of it, boss.

It's a beautiful thing.

Oh my god!

Oh, Clementine! My poor little Clementine!

Who are you?

What do you want from me?

Where am I?

My hotel room.

Is La Force paying you?

No, not yet.

My name's Simon Templer.

Templer?

The Saint?

What did you do to me?

I'm sorry. I was a bit pushed for time.

What are you drinking?

Water. Do you want some?

Yes.

Why did you save him? I saved you.

LaFosse could have killed you.

It's not worth another death.

Why?

He...

He killed my father.

There was nothing left of him.

His office just exploded.

He was blown to pieces.

I'm sure it was LaFosse.

LaFosse had threatened him.

He wanted to buy my father's restaurant, but my father refused to sell.

Move back.

What did you do to her?

Did you do anything to her? No, Sarah Finn.

are you?

He's the saint.

The saint.

So what?

And who are you?

I'm Sabine.

Sabine Gauthier.

We are twins.

Really?

I never would have guessed.

What does he want, anyway?

He saved my life.

What are you doing here?

I was trying to find out what Lafosse was up to, not trying to get killed. I

would have got him if he hadn't shown up.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Carry on.

Just a little dangerous, that's all. I thought you said he saved your life.

Well, he did.

Make up your mind.

You're always so indecisive. I'm not indecisive.

Hello?

Oh, you're always criticizing me. It drives me mad.

Can you speak up? I'm not going to be hysterical.

That's better. The request has come through, as you predicted.

I've made a copy of the whole file and set it on.

Lafourche should have it by now.

Okay, bye.

Right.

How about a little walk?

LaFosse's real name is Max Barrett, born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.

His mother was French, so he came here.

He's wanted for extortion and suspected murder all over the United States.

There's never been enough proof.

He blows people up.

He killed two good friends of mine that way.

Do you know all about that? Why haven't they arrested him here?

Because he's semi-respectable, and he's lined a lot of pockets.

What's the name of your father's restaurant?

Why?

He doesn't trust us. He needs to check on us. Isn't that right?

But the restaurant doesn't exist anymore.

You won't find it.

You both better stay out of the way for a few days.

He'll be looking for... you.

And I don't think he'd believe it if you told him it wasn't you who tried to kill

him this morning.

Here.

Take these.

I don't know whose is whose.

That's mine. That's mine.

Yours is the other one. Please, just take them and fight over them at your

place.

Don't go shooting anybody.

There are safer ways of getting Lafosse.

So, how are you going to get him?

The Blue Dulac.

With the Blue Dulac, I can put him away for life.

The Blue Dulac? What is it?

You're too young to remember, I suppose.

It's a priceless sapphire necklace.

I'm going to make LaFosse an offer he won't be able to refuse.

He's Piers Lamont.

English.

A jewel thief, Max.

George. The name is George.

Okay, sorry, George.

George.

George, I'll keep saying it.

George, I'll remember better that way, George.

Go on.

The guy at the precinct said that they'd never been able to pin anything on him.

Is he good, or are they just incompetent? They say he's the best.

Another girl?

Nothing yet.

I'm working on it, Max. Hey, George.

That guy wants something from me.

I'm Chloe LaFouse. How are you going to see my husband?

Piers Lamont.

Yes, I am.

Can I take your packages?

Oh, thank you.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Thank you so much. Nice to have met you.

See you again, I hope.

Mr. Lamont, I was expecting you.

You've met Colette?

Yes.

She's been shopping.

She enjoys that. I hope you're not planning to take anything away from me.

On the contrary.

I'd like to bring you something.

Well, sell you something.

The Blue Dulac.

Blue Dulac?

Blue Dulac necklace hasn't been seen or heard of for almost ten years.

It has been seen.

By who?

The man who stole it nine years ago.

Nobody knows who took it. I do.

And for five million dollars, I'll steal it back and give it to you.

Why would you do a thing like that?

For five million dollars.

Is that why you saved my life yesterday? Why else would I do a thing like that?

I mean getting involved, of course.

Five million dollars is a hell of a lot of money.

The Blue Dulac is a hell of a lot of sapphire.

Why me?

Because I've heard you have a weakness for sapphires.

I'm a thief. I need a buyer.

I prefer to find a buyer before I do the stealing. Any other questions?

Who's the girl?

You don't need to know that.

She tried to shoot me. She won't do it again.

Thanks a lot.

That's some assurance.

Good. Then we have a deal. Don't be so smart, Lamont.

Am I supposed to trust you?

No necklace, no money.

Okay.

It's a deal.

Don't mess with me.

I don't like it when people mess with me.

Ah, good.

You've got the picture of the blue Dulac.

What do you think of the blue? Difficult to tell. I think I've got it.

But someone should check it.

Check it? Yes, if you want it to look right.

I haven't even worked out how I'm going to take it. I think this is the one for

the collar.

Sabine?

Or Seraphine?

Guess. I just did, twice.

I give up.

Seraphine. Planning to kill somebody?

I find it relaxing.

I was going through some papers my father had.

I know you don't believe Lafosse killed him.

I do believe it. You need proof.

But there isn't any. There isn't any here or at home either.

Isn't this home?

There is a house in Bray.

We looked through everything after father died.

We couldn't find anything.

I have a job for you, Sabine.

What about me?

You should go to the house at Bray as soon as possible and stay there.

Leave Sabine with me.

I have an idea.

Hello.

Glad to see you.

Mr. Unwin wants a bouillabaisse.

What am I supposed to do?

We can't make a proper bouillabaisse up here.

We can't get the right fish.

And if it's not right, what's the point?

Doesn't he know that?

Of course he does.

He just likes what he likes, including pretty mates.

Henri knows all about your future boss's appetites.

I rely on him for information. Too true.

What worries me is whether he'll believe Sabine is your cousin. Why do you ask?

Henri, I've met the whole of your family.

Not one of them looks anything like Sabine. There's nothing wrong with my

sex appeal.

Is there, Sabine?

Nothing at all. You see? No problem, cousin.

All right.

I'll come for the interview when a couple of days is arranged.

Fine.

You be careful, Sabine.

Oui, monsieur.

Your parents have passed away.

They are both dead, yes.

Quite. My mother died when I was very young. My father, nine months ago.

And this Mr.

Rampton? He's my godfather.

He's English.

When can you stop?

Right away.

Tomorrow morning, six o'clock in the kitchen.

Remember, we only speak English here. Mr. Unwin is very particular about

languages.

Apparently, he will.

Mrs. Douglas, I must have a new sous chef. This one does not understand food.

You know what I mean.

The sous chef is your business, chef, not mine. You know your budget.

Beyond that...

We hid you in here.

Remember? No.

Well, you were only three.

You mustn't even tell Sabine I'm here.

I won't. Promise?

I promise.

Maybe this isn't a very good idea. It's okay.

Seraphine!

Straight and tasteful Life is gleaming

When love's blooming And

then came this black day When you were astray

From my days, from my love, from my soul

And all is but gloom

Dreamless within I'm Hopeless, wrecked, fall

Like a blue baby

Life is a misunderstanding

Endless search of fear Why did

my belief Turn into a world

Not interested.

That's all I'm willing to pay for the place.

It's not a fair price.

I don't want to sell. I'm not here to negotiate, Mike. Don't call me Mike.

You listen to me.

I made you an offer.

If you don't accept it, I'm just going to take the place for nothing. Do you

understand that?

Wasn't your father's restaurant around here?

Right next door.

Dickens.

We have a whole set of Dickens at home.

I like jazz.

Do you? Do you?

You're never gonna get this place for me. See?

You said no, I take it.

I want that nightclub. I need that building. Who the hell does that guy

think he is?

What a night.

It's late.

I must get to bed.

Why don't you come out, Seraphine?

I happened to be at the Dickens tonight.

I thought you were going to go to Bray. I changed my mind.

So you thought you'd hang up your dress across the road from Lafosse, eh? Just

to be safe?

It's my father he killed.

He's killed dozens of people.

And if we're going to put him behind bars, and I assume that's what you're

after... What does that mean?

Sabine has already tried to shoot him. And in case you hadn't noticed, you look

a little like your sister.

Lefosse isn't very nice to people that try to kill him.

You're going to make a lot of money out of this deal.

It's not the money.

Swap clothes.

Swap clothes.

Open up in there. What is all this?

Pickle it around.

No, I can't see anything.

I can't see a thing.

What's going on?

What? Police, we have to search your room. There's nothing in here. No

walking away, lady.

Hey, you!

Stop them!

Take your own keys.

Thank you.

Be careful.

You too.

What were you doing in that nightclub?

Dickens.

LaFosse is trying to buy it.

The same way he tried to buy your father's restaurant.

I saw that last night.

Mike Dickens is either very foolish or very well protected.

Did you know my father's restaurant was right next door, in the next building?

Yes, I checked.

You going to be all right?

Yes.

I'd better be getting back now. Sure.

Be careful.

Please. Thank you.

What's the point of having a bed if you don't sleep in it?

I must have known you'd be keeping it warm for me. Where's the girl?

The girl? I'm sick of games, Lamont.

A couple of days ago, a girl tries to kill me. Now she just happens to be in a

room opposite where I live.

That is a coincidence, isn't it? Cut the bull!

I want to know where the girl is.

Well, since you're all standing, I think I'll sit down.

We were always that ugly.

Safe of you.

That's enough. That's enough!

No way to fuss.

I'm tired. I want the name of the girl.

But you want the balloon you lack more.

You may not always be so lucky.

Let's go, guys.

LaFosse, I've got your hat.

It's dangerous to want things too much.

You're the new girl aren't you? Yes, sir.

What's your name?

Sabine, sir.

Bonjour, Monsieur. I'm Martin Simple.

The new sous-chef.

Simon.

Sabine.

That's a beautiful pendant.

It was my mother's.

A sapphire. Very beautiful.

It was given to my great-grandmother by one of her lovers.

She was a courtesan.

There is a mark on the back.

Really? Would you like to have a look?

Oh, very interesting.

It's the only thing of value I ever owned.

I love it. I love precious stones.

It's my weakness.

I could never sell this.

Would you?

I have a collection of precious gems.

Would you like to see it?

Oh, yes, I would very much.

Blue Dulac was brought back from St. Petersburg in 1789.

It was lost for many years and surfaced again in 1815.

Dulac was guillotined.

So who knows what happened to it? Some wise revolutionary, perhaps.

Oh, I would love to see it on a statue. It's beautiful.

Hop in.

We'll give you a ride home.

We live in the same street.

Across from each other.

She's just someone renting a room upstairs.

She's not your friend?

A friend? No.

You might want to get to be friends, right?

No, why?

She's a beautiful girl.

Or do you prefer boys? Hell no.

I like girls.

You just don't like this girl.

I didn't say that. I just don't know her.

What's her name?

Her name?

Uh, Mary.

Yes, Mary Curry.

What are you studying?

Science?

Yes.

Keep in touch

Don't

worry about me he doesn't know us I Think you should stay out of things Just

do nothing

call the hotel leave a message for simon ask for piers la monte

antoine i must stop don't worry about me

i'll be all right

Hello? Mr. Lamont, please.

Incredible.

Integrated circuits.

This is the age of the chip, Jim.

Look, there's a number that Antoine just called.

And the second one, that's easy, I know that one, he called Lamont.

That first number, that's area code 23.

That's outside Paris.

Find out where that is.

Must be just north.

Solis is 23.

Find out exactly where.

It pays to have money.

Is it almost ready?

Are you ready?

Cognac. You must put some cognac. You'll spoil the taste. Overpower the shallots.

Simon.

Simple.

It enhances it. On the contrary.

The new girl.

Yes, sir?

What's her name?

Sabine, sir.

Sabine. Yes, that's right.

Is she living?

Yes, sir.

Who is it?

It's me.

Oh, Simon.

This one.

You're sure?

It's very close.

Like, uh, cornflower blue.

Cornflower blue?

Like your eyes?

My eyes aren't cornflower blue.

They could be.

They are not.

They're still beautiful.

Yes.

This is the blue.

What is it?

Have you talked to Seraphine lately?

I've seen Seraphine.

You're sure she went into the house?

I told you, I saw her go in.

She's pretty tricky, you know. Really?

I'd forgotten about Antoine.

He's always adored Seraphine.

I'm sure it wasn't you.

He could always tell us apart.

I think I'm getting pretty good at that, too.

I think I prefer you clean-shaven.

Then you've a lot to look forward to.

Hello? Mr. Lamont, please.

Well, I must leave a message then.

Antoine?

I'm cold.

See.

All right.

All right, Antoine.

I'll be in touch.

Such beauty.

I hadn't realized before.

Why were you trying to kill me?

What's your name?

Your boyfriend said it was Curie. He's not my boyfriend.

What's your name?

Gautier.

Seraphine Gautier.

Victor Gautier's daughter.

Is that right?

I didn't know you had such a beautiful daughter.

Such a beautiful daughter.

So, which one of you geniuses figured out where she was?

I did.

With the help of modern technology.

He's clean, boss.

Thanks.

You can go.

He's not going to bother me.

Nice view.

Where is she?

Seraphine Gautier.

What a beautiful name.

I need her.

Oh, come on. Come on.

You don't need her.

You want her. Who wouldn't?

I need her for the job.

I don't believe you. I'm telling you.

Well, then you can get somebody else.

You can have her back when I get the necklace.

And from what I've seen of her, and I've only just begun to look,

she should be worth at least five million bucks.

No money, is that what you're saying?

You got it right the first time, Lamont.

Not much of a deal.

Well, you don't have to take her back.

I'll keep her.

My wife won't mind.

In fact, she might like it.

I want to see her.

Sure.

Jules?

What is it, boss?

Take him to see the girl.

What was it you said to me about wanting something too much?

You

all

right? What are you doing here?

You heard the bell?

That was me coming in.

You sure you're all right?

Yes. Are they going to let me go? Not until I bring them the Dulac.

You've seen her?

She's in one piece. We can go back now.

Hold it.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm going to kiss her.

Kiss me?

Kiss her.

I'll enjoy that.

Eat this note when you've read it.

Don't worry, it's on rice paper.

Sabine?

How old are you? Twenty-six.

Twenty-six.

I can't remember when I was twenty-six.

It's a long time ago, you know. Not that long. Long enough.

You always wear that.

The pendant?

Yes.

It seems the safest thing to do.

It's so worrying, really.

It's so valuable.

What if it should get stolen?

You could put it in a safe deposit box.

Ever since you showed me your gem room, I've thought of nothing else.

You could put it in the gem room.

My pendant!

It would be safe there.

I would treasure it as if it were mine.

I would never have suggested it.

Let's go and look.

We'll put it here, facing the Dulac.

It looks beautiful.

More beautiful than before.

Jewels like to be together.

They're gregarious.

Would you mind keeping it here?

I'd feel more comfortable.

No, of course not, Sabine.

I'd love it.

Get down the force is always looking out of the window That could be four minutes

and sit up behind the wheel understand

What the hell is that?

Who the hell is that?

It's me.

Thought I'd let you know I was here.

Oh, you're a regular joker, aren't you? What do you want?

What do I want?

I don't want anything.

I've got everything I need. I'm a happy man.

You're very irritating, you know that?

So sorry.

Two things.

First, the necklace. Should have it in a few days, so please have the money

ready. The money?

What about the girl? Ah.

Well, that's the second thing. The girl, as you put it.

Don't worry about her.

She's downstairs in my car.

You like looking out of windows.

Take a look.

Jim, Jules, check the girl.

Life is an illusion, kids.

We can't go on meeting like this.

Mr. LaFosse?

What are you doing here?

Well, I was told to bring this up to Mr.

LaFosse's apartment.

You want it? No.

Yes, you want it.

It's incredible.

It's perfect. Thank you.

I must admit to that. We should do this more often, any time.

I'll be more late. No worry.

Will it fool Anwen?

Hello, Mr. Henry. Oh, Mr. Simple.

Fine.

For you, Mr. Henry.

Merci.

Hello, Henry.

Simon.

I'm sick.

Very sick.

You sound utterly bleeped. You must make breakfast.

I'd love to make breakfast.

I was just cracking some eggs.

It's not just eggs.

Xavier will give you the menu.

Call me if you have a problem.

All right. Don't worry about a thing.

Look after yourself.

Xavier, the menu.

We have nothing to fear, Xavier, but fear itself.

Did Henri cook this?

No, sir. Monsieur Henri called in sick this morning. The underchef cooked

breakfast this morning, sir.

It's quite good.

It's quite good.

Like other things, it's all in the mind.

And, of course, the fingers.

He liked it.

Xavier, come with me.

I need your help.

Sabine, we'd better do it tonight.

Tonight? I don't know how long long he will be sick.

I may not pass the test this evening.

You'll have to get the vault open.

Yeah, who is this?

Antoine. Yeah, where the hell are you, kid?

I'm... I'm in Paris.

Yeah, where?

You don't need to know that.

I want to know it. Where the hell are you? I'm calling for Mr. Lamont to tell

you to have the money ready by 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.

You got the Duloc?

Sure.

Tomorrow morning.

Are you there?

Okay.

But we won't meet here.

I've got a place a hundred miles north.

No, it's too far. Do you know who you're talking to? You're beginning to get me

annoyed. Absolutely, Monsieur Lafosse.

But I was told not to agree to anything too far out of Paris.

Five million dollars, Antoine. The blue Dulac, Monsieur Lafosse.

I don't like you, kid.

Bet you have a suggestion.

Well, I do, actually.

In Neuilly.

That's Paris.

You messing with me?

No, no.

How about in Meaux?

In front of the cathedral.

Too many people, no.

Not a guided tour.

Too many people, right.

Right.

There is a good place.

Charifert.

By the canal.

The lock there on the bridge.

There would be no one there.

I'll find it.

Make it...

8 o'clock tomorrow morning. 8 o'clock.

Right.

I'm gonna kill Lamont.

And I'm gonna kill the girl.

And I'm gonna...

Entrez.

Mr. Simple, Monsieur Henry is still ill. He can't make it for lunch.

I was afraid of that.

I'll be right down.

What is for lunch?

Here's the menu.

Never again.

Hi. Hi.

Did you ring Lafosse?

It worked like a charm. Just like Simon said.

He turned down the first suggestion and took the second.

I'm going to take up poker.

It was all here.

Hidden under a mountain of books.

What is it?

My father was threatened by Lafosse.

He started a record of Lafosse's real estate. All his holdings.

There. There.

There. Lafosse owns every one of those places.

One, two, sometimes three buildings next to each other.

There have been explosions at each of them over the last year.

Are you sure? It's right here.

In my father's notes.

There's a billion francs worth of real estate here.

Explosions? Right.

What am I supposed to do?

This is...

Inedible.

Oh, you didn't cook this?

No, sir. I'm afraid not.

The under-chef made lunch today.

Henri... Fire him!

Monsieur Henri, sir? No, you blundering idiot!

What's his name, a sous-chef?

Martin Simple, sir. I don't care what his name is!

Fire him!

And get Henri back here.

Even dying, he'll cook better than this.

I hate you.

Please. Not here.

Not now.

Where? When?

He said that it's inedible.

He's right.

It is inedible.

Quite disgusting.

I shall leave in the morning.

Or should I go tonight?

Tomorrow's fine. Who cares anyway? Just don't cook anything.

and he won't know the difference.

This should come out soon.

Sabine.

Tonight, my dear, you shall wear the blue Dulac.

No, it's beautiful on you.

Oh, Simi.

Oh, Simi. I mean... I want you.

I mean...

Oh!

Sir? Are you alright?

Are you alright, sir?

I don't understand.

Blue Dulac.

I see you didn't come alone.

Nor did you.

Okay.

Where's the necklace?

The money first.

No, no, no, no.

That's not the way it works. Not even at Checkpoint Charlie.

No money, no necklace.

Reckless? It's coming down.

You stop!

Jim, get that five million back for me.

I've just reported a nine-year-old theft to the police.

The Blue Dulac has just been found.

Let us drink to our success.

You were magnificent in every way.

Antoine, you are an electronics wizard.

Let's also drink to our friend Guy Perrin. Not only a master craftsman and

an artist, he works fast.

He also gave birth to twins.

This is the real Doolam.

People have been stealing this for 200 years.

Put those things away!

No need for that.

Go see what is.

Mr. George LaFosse, you are under arrest for the theft of the blue Dulac

necklace.

Madam, the necklace please.

The famous Blue Dulac necklace was last heard of nearly ten years ago when it

was stolen from the house belonging to the original French owner, Monsieur

Honoré Dulac.

Simon, what do you think?

It looks beautiful.

It suits both of you. Both of us?

What do you mean?

It'd look good on Sabine, too.

Sabine hasn't worn it.

You gave it to me last night.

And quite a lot more, too.

Sabine?

Where were you last night?

With Antoine.

Oh, no.

This will do it, Serafine.

I promise.

Thank you very much.

The police.

Hello, Martin.

Jean, it's all right, dear. The police have just taken the man. Oh, fine. Fine,

very well.

Thank him for me.

The police have just apprehended four gangsters. They were breaking into my
