[soft tense music]

[speaking foreign language]

She says you are past healing.

She can only offer relief.

[speaking foreign language]

[woman] She said you must go to Lalla Chafia.

She, perhaps, can heal you.

[speaking foreign language]

[woman] She said she is waiting for you.

Who's waiting?

Lalla Chafia.

The healing saint at the top of the hill.

[chambermaid] You must go there.

You climb the hill at midday

in the sun without stopping.

What is up there on the top of the hill?

[chambermaid] Lalla Chafia,

who's been dead for 150 years,

and can heal you from her tomb.

[woman grunts]

[speaking foreign language]

[chambermaid] She say that your main problem is time.

You want to reap before sowing,

and that is why you're sad,

and that you've always been a sad woman.

[speaking foreign language]

[woman] She say that when you want to live too fast,

you die too young.

How old will I be when I die?

When will it be?

Where it all began, or where it all ends?

[tense music]

[Valentin] Detective Inspector Clifton, CID.

What's the problem?

Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, sir,

but acting on information received,

we believe there'll be an armed robbery here

within the next two to three hours.

Now, what I should like you and your staff to do

is to do everything asked of you by the robbers,

allow them in, hand over the goods,

and allow them to walk away free.

We have the street completely covered.

When they come out in the street,

we will arrest them, and the job will be over.

But it's very important that you don't panic,

that you don't try and play the hero,

that you just play absolutely along,

act a little scared maybe.

Our command center is, uh, lead in the opposite

in that man's van.

Yes.

I shall be in the telephone booth.

Yes.

One of our best marksmen in the delivery van,

the two men there are one of ours.

And then the, uh,

ah, the dirty banquet driver there?

[Valentin] Yes, he's one of ours too, sir.

[man] Yes.

What about those two?

[Valentin] Uh, she's with us.

[man] Yes?

[Valentin] So we have it covered.

How many are they?

Just the one.

Just the one?

After all this, just for one?

He's eluded us for six years,

but we're not gonna let him get away again,

so we're not taking any chances.

Are you sure there's no risk?

Not if you do exactly what he asks.

-Okay. -Follow my instructions.

Alright. Where will you be?

I'll be across the road

-in the telephone kiosk. -Oh yes.

With one of our crack shots.

Yes, you said.

There's a photograph of him.

He's old.

He's old, but he's dangerous.

[car engine rumbles]

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon.

How may I help you?

Well I was wondering if you could help me

by filling up this bag full of the prettiest jewels

in your cupboards.

Go on.

Like this?

Yes, that'll do nicely.

You're not really nervous. Has this happened to you before?

No, no. Of course it hasn't, no.

No, I'm, no, I'm really very scared.

No you're not.

No, I am really. I'm-I'm terrified.

Well she's not.

Yes she is, yes she is.

You're very scared, Jenny.

Aren't you? You're scared?

Oh yes, sir.

Quite scared, most certainly.

Very scared.

This could go off, you know.

I've never been so scared in my entire life.

Let me see your hands.

You're not even shaking.

-Yes they are. -No they're not.

Well there, there they go, look.

Is that all the nicest ones?

Yes, absolutely.

All right, get in the corner.

Right, now, count very slowly up to 100.

[both] One, two, three, four--

No, no, no, no.

Slower. Slower than that.

-Start again. -One--

Sorry.

[all] One, two--

That's right.

Three.

Oh.

Four.

-I nearly forgot the bag. -[both] Five.

Six.

Six. Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Oh, that's lovely.

[both] Ten.

Oh, well, next time.

-Go on, keep going. -Eleven.

Eleven.

[both] Twelve.

Thirteen.

[all] Fourteen.

-[Jenny] Fifteen. -Fifteen, that's right. Loudly!

[both] Sixteen!

Seventeen.

[quietly] Eighteen.

Nineteen.

[chuckling] Twenty.

Twenty-one.

Twenty-two.

Twenty-three.

Twenty-four.

Twenty-five.

Twenty-six.

Twenty-seven.

[chuckles] Twenty-eight.

Twenty-nine.

[both] Thirty.

[motorbike engine rumbling]

Thirty-one.

Thirty-two.

Thirty-three.

Forty-nine.

Fifty.

Are you a policeman?

Are you a policeman?

[Jenny] Excuse me, are you a policeman?

-No, are you police? -[bangs on truck]

Police!

Are you a policeman?

You a police--you're not?

[Jenny] Excuse me, are you police, sir?

Police! Pol--

Where?

[Jenny] Have you tried the van over there?

What? Yes, I've tried the van!

[horn honks]

What's this?

[soft jazzy music]

* Where are you now *

* I'm in the hall *

* The Albert Hall *

* And where are you now *

* I'm in the hall *

* Carnegie Hall *

* I'm singing with a jazz quartet *

* I've got a solo in the second set *

* Yeah *

* Got the makeup good *

* My lipstick on *

* Listen to the crowd *

* Humming my song *

* What time is it now *

* In the Albert Hall *

* It's time for me to sing *

* To give it all *

* I'll call you back *

* After the curtain call *

* I can hear my intro *

* Bye-bye sister soul *

[audience cheering] [audience applauding]

* Tell me *

* How do you hide from the London rain *

* You mean the snow in New York *

* Doesn't drive you insane *

* So far from each other *

* Oh my, what a shame *

* When do we sing together again *

* When do we sing together again *

* We buy the same clothes *

* And we get the same guys *

* We live the same tales *

* And we tell the same lies *

* Is there a man in your life *

* Come on, give me a clue *

* Yeah, he plays with my heart *

* And the trumpet too *

* Don't take it back *

* Don't want to sound rude *

* But wouldn't it be funny *

* If we loved the same dude *

[audience cheering]

* You cheat like you play *

* You blow us away *

* We're sisters of song *

* The two of us free *

* As cozy as queens *

* Can bunk up these *

* You think you are fake *

* You may think that you're great *

* Make up your mind *

* We don't wanna fight *

* Pick one of us now *

* In black or white *

* It's so good to sing together again *

* It's so good to sing *

* Together again *

[air hissing]

[Françoise speaking French]

Could I help you?

[Françoise] Oh.

Yeah, with pleasure.

You know, I'm not very good with repairs.

That's bad luck.

This is where you buy your jewelry?

No, I only work here.

Oh.

I read in the paper that Bulgari was selling

the Czarina of Russia's necklace.

I was rather hoping to see it in the window.

You know that's a very rare necklace,

and um, so they keep it in the safe.

Uh-huh.

And they only take it out for very special customers.

Well, it means I won't get to see it, then, doesn't it?

[Françoise chuckles]

[man] Thank heavens for revolutions.

Otherwise, this might never have come upon the market.

[Valentin] And what is the price?

-$2 million. -[Valentin] Oh.

You know, it's a unique piece.

[Valentin] I understand.

May I try it on your assistant?

Sure.

-Françoise? -She's such a pretty girl.

Would you, my dear?

Oh yes.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Thank you so much.

One more revolution, and it cost double.

[both chuckling]

Sadly, the only jewel I can no longer afford is youth.

So I think I shall have to take them.

Very good.

And how do you wish to pay, Madame?

By bazooka.

By bazooka?

Bazooka?

MasterCard, is it?

Bazooka.

You see the van on the other side of the road

with the heart-shaped window?

In the back of that, there's a rocket launcher

aimed at your store.

If I don't exit your store in two minutes,

yourself, your store, and all your charming customers

will be blown sky-high.

Except, of course, for your little assistant,

who I find exquisite, and shall take as a hostage.

Why do you hesitate?

You have insurance.

[Bulgari jeweler speaks French]

And maybe you'll be so kind as to accompany me downstairs

so that we don't alarm the other customers.

Would you lead on, my dear?

Thank you so much.

I wonder if it'll rain later.

It's so much warmer here than in Monte Carlo.

I would suggest that you don't call the police

until your assistant is safely returned to you.

[in French] I didn't understand anything. What did she say?

[in French] She said it's much hotter here than Monte Carlo.

[in French] After, after, what did she say?

[in French] And she said, above all, to not call the police...

until I am returned.

[in English] No problem, no problem.

[soft tense music]

[muttering in French]

Oh, just look, isn't that beautiful?

Do you know, my husband always says

that Bulgari is the most wonderful jeweler in Paris.

[chuckles nervously] Yes.

Always nags me to come here.

Thank you so much.

[in French] I love France.

[in French] Me too.

[soft jazzy music]

[engine revving]

* And now ladies and gentlemen *

* Let the show begin *

* If I tell you the way it was *

* Will you listen in *

* As the girl sang a tune through a smoky room *

* Pushing a broom *

[singing in French]

You have won the beautiful car parked behind yours.

The keys are underneath.

[speaking French]

[car phone ringing]

Hello?

[Valentin] Do you like it, my dear?

Who are you?

An English lady of a certain age

who didn't know how to thank you.

Where are you?

Well, if you'd like to see me again,

I'll be waiting where you [speaks French] .

[singing in French] [soft romantic music]

* You can see, I can breathe *

* Take it slow *

* Johnny Doe *

* You can see, I can breathe *

* Stop the show *

Hello!

[Françoise gasps]

[speaks in French]

You're crazy, huh?

[speaks in French]

[speaks French]

[Françoise] Yeah, I'm saying you're very good at surprises,

right?

Jesus!

You don't like it?

I don't know what you want.

[soft jazz music]

* And now ladies and gentlemen *

[sings in French]

So why are you selling her?

Maybe something a bit faster.

Oh.

And why would you buy a boat?

Competition?

I wanna beat your record.

Just joking.

[Thierry] And the loneliness? You can handle it?

[Valentin] I hear it's a cure for almost anything.

[Thierry] Yes.

[Thierry] Especially loneliness.

[Valentin] Hmm.

It's not the prettiest of boats, but you're quite safe with it.

It's just like women.

More beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are.

Hmm.

[Valentin] She may be beautiful, but she seems to have been

beaten about a bit.

She's a bit frayed at the edges.

[waves crashing] [wind rustling]

[Thierry] Who are you planning to race against?

[Valentin] Myself.

[Thierry] Go around the buoy at the bottom.

The foot of the cliff, see there?

Just there beside the jewelry store?

Sorry?

Can you repeat, please?

Just alongside the jewelry store there.

So, that's your best price, is it?

It's just what I need to finish my new boat.

Please repeat what you said just now.

What did I say just now, mon amour?

You spoke of a jeweler's by the buoy.

You don't remember?

You said there was a jeweler's by the buoy.

[speaking French]

Could you please tell us

why you keep driving on the roundabout?

Can I see the vehicle's documents, please?

[officer] Willy, the bag.

Would you be so kind as to blow into this, Mademoiselle ?

[soft orchestral music]

What's the orchestra?

What orchestra are you talking about?

What's happening?

What's happening, Mademoiselle ,

is that you've been going round the roundabout a few times.

And we feel we have the right to ask you some questions.

What's the time?

Nine o'clock, but my watch is fast.

Damn. I had to meet someone at eight o'clock.

[officer] Would you blow in the bag all the same, please?

Have you suffered from this before?

First time it's been mentioned.

[officer #2] It's negative.

Can I please go now?

[officer] Would you like us to accompany you somewhere?

No, I'm okay.

For how long did I go around?

[officer] Twenty times.

[officer #2] Yes, I'd say a good five minutes.

[singing in French]

[soft jazz music]

Five minutes round the roundabout at Invalides.

What were you doing near Invalides?

It seems I had a blackout there.

Could you repeat that?

I said it seems I had a blackout there.

If only at the same time I could have forgotten about you.

[waitress] Are you ready to order?

No, I'm not hungry, thanks.

[waitress speaks French]

Not sure.

Can't decide.

As always.

[waitress] Okay, I'll come back later.

Well, you can't make me wait anymore.

It's her or it's me.

The blonde or the black.

I can't imagine my choice is what you wanna hear.

So very predictable.

You're like all the others.

With you, I don't know whether you are nothing

or the whole world to me.

Jane.

When are you just gonna slow down a little bit, huh?

I have an evening with the man of my life, and...

I don't know him at all.

It's not the trumpet player you should be.

It's the pied piper.

Do you blame me?

You made me wait two months

while you choose between my best friend and me.

Yes, I blame you.

[speaks French]

And our life still fascinates you?

We ask too much of love.

My love.

[speaks French]

These last seven years, were you faithful?

[Valentin exhales]

To me?

Often.

[announcer] Bob, we know during training, he was not his usual

self. We know that he's got some family problems,

but this is not the moment to be thinking--

[child] Go, Dad!

-Go Dad, hit him! -Go, Daddy, go!

[announcer] With his, uh, wife, and kids.

[gasps] Go, Daddy!

Hit him, Dad! Hit him back!

[announcer] He's out of the fight!

[child #2] Give it some, Dad!

[announcer] Surely the ref will put a stop--

[commentator laughs]

Well, that's extraordinary!

It's a great way to go, eh?

Well thanks!

This morning on the boat,

I found him very handsome, the skipper.

I saw.

Thierry.

Yeah, he won, yeah!

It's crazy, you all looked crazy!

Heh, yeah.

Yeah, it'll be on again.

Okay.

I think it's all right with that English guy.

Yeah, he's happy with it all,

uh, yeah it'll be all right.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's happy enough, yeah.

* Again * [exciting jazz music]

Jane!

It's dumb that it ends up like this.

We made a great trio.

Problem in a trio, there's one too many.

I propose la vie en rose , he prefers la vie en noir .

[Jane] Sorry.

And now, what you gonna do?

[sings in French]

All his life, he dreamed of a boat like that.

[Thierry] So what's he been doing?

What's he done?

[Françoise] Well, all kinds of things.

[Françoise] I remember when you won the round the world race,

he told me "I'd love to buy a boat like that."

[Thierry] Has he had other boats before?

[Françoise] Um, this is his first racing boat,

but, uh, he always lived on boats, more or less.

[Thierry] You can see he's got the knack.

In a race, he'd not be last.

Your wife's never been jealous of boats?

[Thierry chuckles]

Uh, no. No, I'm the jealous one.

A round the world race is 100 days minimum,

and of course there are temptations.

Anyway, you tell me.

[Françoise] All these boats practicing around here,

do they go with you?

[Thierry] Some of them.

[Françoise] And when will he go?

[Thierry] When he feels ready.

You know, for a single-handed round the world,

how you feel is as important as the boat.

[Thierry] Why have you closed your eyes?

I'm trying to picture my life without him.

Ah.

[Françoise] I'm cold.

Ah.

[Thierry] I can feel it coming.

[Françoise] What?

[Thierry] Trouble.

I've done three round the worlds,

I thought I'd seen it all but, uh,

I wasn't in the right place.

You're not gonna go back to piano bars.

Well, it's quite comforting singing for people

who never listen to me.

It's the best waiting room.

But what exactly do you want?

I can't put up with any more lies.

Hmm.

Do you know what my last liar told me?

Lies are just...

dreams caught red-handed.

I wish I could get him out of my mind.

He pisses me off, dumb shit.

[bell rings]

May I help you, sir.

Yes, I wondered if I could speak to the manager.

Perhaps I can help you.

I'm the manager's son.

Are you? Nice to meet you.

Now I'm a personal friend of your father.

Would you tell him it's Detective Inspector Clifton

from the CID?

Of course, just one moment.

Excuse me, Jenny, could you tell father

that Detective Inspector Clifton from CID is here to see him?

Very impressive, your new store.

Oh, you like it?

Yes, you haven't actually visited this store?

Excuse me, can I just leave you with the catalog

-for two minutes? -[Valentin chattering]

A couple of years ago.

I'm interested, you've got the new security system?

[jeweler] Yes.

You noticed that.

Well, we've got these two cameras,

which, uh, sort of capture,

[people speaking indistinctly]

they're really for, uh,

so the customers are aware of the system.

Yeah.

But these, now are these--

[phone ringing] [people chatting]

Excuse me, sir.

The here's a Detective Inspector Clifton here

from CID asking to see you.

Take a look at camera one.

I think you'll recognize him.

Call the police.

Ah, here he is.

Good morning.

Do you remember me?

Yes, of course I remember you. How could I forget you?

You've done very well for yourself.

Wonderful, the new shop.

Like me, I've done well,

which is why I've come to settle up with you.

This is some kind of a joke?

[Valentin laughs]

Let me explain.

A while ago, I had an operation for a brain tumor.

I asked the doctor what were the chances.

He said one in 10 that you'll come through.

So I decided that if I did come through,

I'd pay back everybody who I borrowed from.

I should warn you, I've called the police.

You see, in those days, the banks wouldn't lend

to people like me.

They would only lend to the rich.

So, my only option was to borrow from people like you.

And today, I've come to pay you back.

Once a thief, always a thief.

In my bag, I have $1 million.

One million pounds in new bank notes.

[jeweler] I--

Roughly the equivalent, plus interest

of what I borrowed from you two years ago.

[knocking on door]

I gave up believing in Santa Claus...

a long while ago.

[knocking on door]

[soft music]

No, it's all right. We're just having a dream.

I'm just dreaming.

[Valentin] It's, you see,

no, listen, listen.

It's a dream.

I've had this problem with my head,

and one of the side effects is that I dream a great deal.

That's all I'm doing now.

There's no problem.

Just explain to them everything's all right.

-Policemen! Go away! -It's a dream.

Stop rapping the door, you'll break it.

It's a dream.

Read my lips.

It's a, a dream!

-[jeweler] Go away! -[Valentin] A dream.

[Valentin] Everything's fine.

[gulls calling]

[Françoise whistling]

A, B, C, D, E, F.

Thought of leaving doesn't stop you from sleeping.

[Valentin] I didn't sleep, I was dreaming.

I even dreamt of paying back everything I'd stolen.

How do you pay me back for all my love?

A hundred days to be free.

And all those nights.

But I've never wanted to be free.

When I met you in front of the jeweler's,

I thought I'd get 20 years or more.

You offered me the best jewels in the world.

[Françoise] But never wedding ring.

Who said never marry your mistress,

as marriage is the perfect murder of love.

Anything else for me?

A, B, C, D.

A, B, C, D.

For me as well.

But it won't stop you from going.

It's just once round the world.

To be on your own is very risky.

Especially if you're getting these blackouts and migraines.

Would you pour me a little glass of wine?

[soft casual music]

[singing in French]

* My breaking heart *

* And I agree *

* That you and I could never be *

* So if my best *

* My very best *

How the hell can I convince you that I'm not leaving you?

Bullshit.

You're leaving me so you can come back and love me better?

Well, see a better reason?

From now on, I'm gonna take an interest in women.

A-ha.

That'll give us something else in common.

* I wish you shelter *

* From the storm *

* Cause a fire to keep you warm *

* Most of all *

I hope you used your last night on land to the best.

[chuckles] Very much.

Uh, my bill, please, if it's ready.

You'll not be in a comfortable bed for 100 days at least.

[Valentin laughs]

* All kinds of love *

Don't worry.

I'll be there for your departure.

Mustn't hang about.

I'm off in four months.

[Valentin laughs]

-Right, see you in the harbor. -Okay.

I don't want to leave you like this.

Here.

You're gonna need some help from the gods.

Hermes is the god of thieves.

* I wish you blue birds *

* In the spring *

* To give your heart *

* A song to sing *

* And then a kiss *

* But more than this *

* I wish you well *

* And in July *

* A lemonade *

* To cool you in some leafy glade *

* I wish you health *

* And more than wealth *

* I wish you love *

* My breaking heart *

* And I agree *

* That you and I could never be *

* So with my best *

* My very best *

* I set you free *

[in French] The check, please?

You're not to worry about his health.

The sea cures it all.

[waiter] It was taken care of by Monsieur Valentin.

He knew damn well on the pier there is a restaurant.

Did he also foresee you'd be in need of a lifeguard?

Would that be you?

I'll make a sacrifice.

If something happens between us,

you know it will be nothing more than revenge.

[scoffs] I would never dare to think

that I could fancy you.

Never.

I'm going to Paris next week for my boat.

Would you like to meet?

Gives you time to think about it.

I've thought about it.

This kind of thing you do now or never.

I could well understand Valentin's a bit complicated

sort of chap, but, um,

I didn't straight away catch on

onto the club of similarly complicated fork around him.

And that excites you, or not?

Just the idea?

I love the complication.

Hadn't you noticed?

And, how old are you?

And you?

Just like poker.

I play the last card.

[both chuckling]

Is that correct?

So what's your name?

What's yours?

Valentin.

Oh, like Rodolfo Valentino?

Well, the name's like that, yes.

In French I think you would say, uh, Valentin.

-Valentin, yes. -Valentin.

-Valentin. -And you?

-Françoise. -Of course.

[Françoise] Why?

[Valentin] Well, every French girl's called Françoise.

[Françoise] How do you know?

[Valentin] Oh, I read French books.

They're either called Françoise,

or they're called Emmanuelle.

How do you say tire? In, in French?

[Françoise speaks French]

[Valentin] Go on.

[Françoise speaks French]

[waves crashing]

[Valentin speaks French]

No, look at my lips.

[Valentin speaks French]

[soft romantic music]

Try again.

[speaks French]

[speaks French]

[waves crashing]

* But now my love *

[thunder rumbling]

* Now that it's over *

* I feel the world *

* Closing in on me *

* Here come the stars *

* Trembling around me *

* There's the sky *

* Where the sea should be *

* What now, my love *

[thunder rumbling]

[feedback buzzes]

I walked out before the end of the song?

You walked out before the end of the song.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

[man] And then if you're interested,

I may have something for you in Morocco.

[soft tense music]

[waves crashing]

[man] Are you in Morocco for business

or pleasure?

[Jane] I have a contract for a month

to sing in Accor group hotels.

But of course, I hope to do a bit of tourism, as well.

[man] Do you have anything to declare?

No.

[man] Welcome to Morocco.

Merci .

Passport.

[birds chirping]

[soft tense music]

[man] Bonjour, Mademoiselle.

Can I help you?

I would like to check in my baggage for Fez.

But, you are already in Fez, Mademoiselle .

[baby crying] [soft jazz music]

[waves crashing] [boat creaking]

[man] Yes, little brother.

Send him here.

I'll look after him.

Everything all right?

Good.

Don't overdo the mint tea.

[man] Okay.

Speak to you later.

You know, memory is just like culture.

It's the thing that lasts when everything's forgotten.

And there are things we forget.

Oh, we forget a lot.

Fortunately.

It's as if we've got too much baggage.

We have to make some space.

Huh? We have to make room.

For how long have you had memory blackouts?

I became very aware of it about two months ago in Paris.

I went round a roundabout.

-Uh-huh. -Five minutes.

The worst is when I sing.

I keep forgetting the words.

Ah, you're a singer.

Well, if you call that singing.

Because I've got little jobs between piano bars and hotels.

Do you sing evenings?

Not only evenings.

Midday at the pool, and seven at the English bar.

All these dinner and dances.

Then you're singing around here?

At the Palais Jamai.

There for a month.

Nice hotel, the Palais Jamai.

You know, I think I'll come along

and listen to you sing one of these evenings.

Are you feeling a little bit better?

I'm sure I'll feel better with the results from the scanner.

There's no way to do it today?

Sorry, I've got one scanner for the whole region, so it's

already a miracle. It's because you're charming,

but I found you a gap tomorrow.

Late in the afternoon.

Don't you worry now.

I'm not.

You've never seen a consultant before today?

My father used to say the ills that come on their own

will go away on their own.

And just so that you won't be worried

before tomorrow afternoon,

I'll give you some of these pills.

They have the color of your eyes.

Thanks.

[soft music]

Take two every hour.

It'll be all right.

* If you go away *

* On this summer day *

* Then you might as well *

* Take the sun away *

* All the birds that flew *

* In the summer sky *

* When our love was new *

* And our hearts were high *

* When the day was young *

* And the night was long *

* And the moon stood still *

* For the night bird's song *

* If you go away *

* If you go away *

* If you go away *

* But if you stay *

* I'll make you a day *

* Like no day has been *

* Or will be again *

* We'll sell the song *

* We'll ride on the rain *

* We'll talk to the trees *

* We'll worship the wind *

* And if you go *

* I'll understand *

* Leave me just enough love *

* To hold in my hand *

* If you go away *

* If you go away *

[people chatting and laughing]

Excusez-moi, monsieur.

Where can I find a doctor?

-What? -A doctor.

No, no. You go straight down to the town,

second right, there's a pharmacy,

and the pharmacist is also a doctor.

Good.

- Merci, mademoiselle. -You're welcome.

[Soleil] What about the lobsters?

[gulls calling]

[voices echoing]

Oh no, no sir.

It's the same, straight on, but that way.

[gulls calling]

I'm going past the pharmacy.

You can come with me, if you want.

This your first time here in Essaouira?

You speak English?

Is it your first time here in Essaouira?

You're lucky today, it's not windy.

If it blows, forget it.

We have a nice little restaurant by the port,

it's called Chez Sam.

My husband's a boxer.

He's a world champion.

Ah.

Good morning, sir.

[soft tense music]

Bonjour ?

Hello?

Yoo-hoo?

Who are you?

I am Dr. Lamy.

I'm the pharmacist as well.

I prescribe, I sell.

I do both.

-Where am I? -You are in Essaouira.

Essaouira, in Morocco.

Morocco.

In Morocco?

-Yeah. -What's happened?

Uh, we'd hoped you might be able to tell us.

What is it?

What have you come to do in Morocco?

But I, I don't want to come to Morocco.

Well, that's a shame,

since you're already here,

right in the middle of it.

I'm going round the world in my boat.

I see.

-Uh... -Oh yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I hit a fishing trawler.

Okay.

And he towed me back in here.

Ah.

Yeah.

It's starting to come back.

I'll tell you what.

I'll send you over to the hospital in Fez for a proper

-check up. -Fez?

By why Fez?

Well because, here, there's no scanner,

for the head, you know.

The scanner.

We need a scanner?

Oh sure.

Sure.

And in Fez, the manager of the hospital is my brother.

We're twins.

And him with heads, he's a cinq étoiles .

Five stars. [chuckles]

-But what have I got? -Uh, that I don't know.

With the head, it's all or nothing.

It may be just a bit of fatigue, huh?

But it's best to make sure.

Yes, of course.

Well, with the head, you never know.

-Uh-huh. -Oh.

Mademoiselle , excuse me.

And thank you for, uh,

-for-for, uh- -[Soleil] Oh, not at all.

It all.

-[Soleil] What's your name? -Valentin.

[Soleil] No, your first name.

No, it's Valentin. Valentin Valentin.

[Soleil] Oh. [laughing]

I was born the same day as St. Valentine.

Well, if you want, we can help you out a bit.

I can keep an eye on your boat with my husband.

Oh yes, please. Uh, it's called Ladies and Gentlemen.

-It's black and white. -[Soleil] Okay.

Oh, uh, pardon me. Not black. Blue and white.

Oh, okay.

We'll keep an eye on it.

[Valentin] But I'll be back to look after it, I mean--

Okay, it's all right.

-[Valentin] Thank you. -[Dr. Lamy chuckles]

-I have to go. -Okay, see you, Madame .

Sam's waiting for me.

-Bye-bye. -See you!

Ladies and Gentlemen?

Yeah, well.

[Dr. Lamy] Nice name for a boat.

Oh, it's not bad.

You know, everyone dreams of going round the world like that.

Especially on your own.

Are you sailing on your own?

-Yeah. -Ah.

But why on your own?

Oh, it's always been my life's dream.

Ah.

And your wife agreed to all this?

She-she let you go?

Well that.

My wife was the cause of my world tour.

Ah, ah, now I understand.

Well, but I've got a wife as well.

And at times, I'd love to go around the world.

Yeah.

How much time you need to go around the world?

Depends.

About four months.

-Four months? -Yeah.

Now that, that would, four, four or five months,

that-that would be good.

Yeah.

Uh.

So.

Oh, we'll give you a little examination, perhaps.

-Yeah. -Okay?

And then after, we'll telephone my brother,

and you can tell him all about it.

Right.

And then we can go and grab a drink.

-How's that? -Oh yeah.

- Merci . -Spur us on a bit.

[both chuckle]

[singing in foreign language] [all clapping]

[speaks French]

Madame ?

May I speak?

[Jane] Yes.

If you wish later,

when you finish singing,

I'll take you down to the town.

I know someone that's better than a doctor.

You're very kind.

I prefer to wait to get the results.

You're mistaken.

When my men are ill, she looks after them.

Your men?

How many you got?

Four.

Three little, one big.

Your husband handsome?

Well, he's my man.

[singing in French]

[soft jazz piano music]

[woman singing along in French]

[man] Monsieur, monsieur!

You forgot your bag!

You get out here, you'll be forgetting your bag.

You have bought a ticket for Fez, and this is Douar.

If you want to go to Fez, it's that way, 200 kilometers.

This stop is Douar.

And you, you go to Fez.

It's that way.

Excuse me, monsieur . I made a big mistake.

-Excuse me. -Yes.

Pardon me, I'm a stupid Englishman.

Okay, yeah.

Hey! Bring one down!

One down!

[goat bleats]

Excuse me.

I have a meeting with Dr. Lamy for a scan here.

-Huh? -Dr. Lamy!

Ah, I am Dr. Lamy.

Ah.

Indeed.

Uh, my pleasure. I'm Mr. Valentin.

Valentin, yes. My-my brother spoke about you.

-Ah. -Come this way.

It's at the end of the corridor.

-Ah, good. -Have you been having these

blackouts for some time?

Two, three months.

But this is the first time it was so bad.

Oh, now tell me, is it sometimes you just forget,

or black holes?

Do you have the impression that sometimes you speak

in the light of day, and that the person in front of you

is in the black of night?

Uh, it's a bit like that.

But from time to time, I see jewelry stores.

-Jewelry stores? -Yes.

That's strange.

No, I said strange 'cause just this morning

I saw a French girl who sings at the Hotel Jamai,

and she has the same symptoms as you.

No.

Yes, except she sees orchestras everywhere.

That's funny.

Yes, but not really.

You see, I could, uh, kill somebody,

and not remember.

Yes.

But for how long have you been having your blackouts?

Do you have any idea?

I can't really tell you. I can't, I can't remember them.

Ah yes, I see.

Memory is just like, like culture.

It's the thing that lasts when everything's forgotten.

[chuckling] There are things we forget,

and fortunately, fortunately.

In your opinion, is it bad?

If it's bad, only the scanner can tell us.

But I'm really overloaded here.

I can perhaps find you a little gap tomorrow,

late in the afternoon.

Will that do?

Okay.

And I can prescribe you some little pills

to tie you over, okay?

[soft piano music playing] [people chatting]

[Jane singing in French]

-May I take your baggage, sir? -Thanks.

[singing in French]

Give me the same that I had last night.

Sure, right away.

I adore your lovely music.

[Jane singing in French]

Is your husband gone now?

No. [speaks Italian]

It's about time.

Good evening, sir. What can I offer you?

Glass of water and a red wine, please.

Bonsoir .

[singing in French]

[wine being poured]

* Piano bar *

* Piano bar *

* Piano bar *

[people chatting] [dishes clinking]

[Valentin clapping]

I've never done this in my life.

Medicine?

It's good for all the illnesses that cure themselves.

How I love this place.

The most beautiful in the world.

But it's not safe alone at night.

It can't be worse than waiting for that scanner.

Madame, these things never happen

as you would like to imagine, never.

Either it's a little bit better. This way.

Or a little bit worse.

But it never happens like you imagine.

[people shouting] [maracas shaking]

[woman shrieking]

[woman sings in foreign language]

[all singing in foreign language]

[woman sings in foreign language]

[all singing in foreign language]

[woman grunting]

[speaking foreign language]

[woman grunts]

[speaking foreign language]

[chambermaid] She says you are past healing.

She can only offer relief.

She said you must go to Lalla Chafia.

She perhaps can heal you.

[woman shouts in foreign language]

What do you think he's got?

Alzheimer's, or a, a large tumor on the brain.

Oh, damn.

You'd never see it.

Or nothing.

As I said before, in the head, it's all or nothing.

Or both. Maybe he's got both.

Oh, too bad. He has nice boat.

You seen his boat?

No.

I spent all afternoon looking at it.

It's a pure marvel.

You see that boat in a race, it's just--

[imitates air whooshing]

[imitates air whooshing]

What?

-What? -[laughing] What?

And world champion, strips around the globe.

Don't tell me it didn't set your mind going, huh?

Uh?

And it doesn't set your mind going?

No. And thanks to this, no blackout.

[singing in French] [soft jazz music]

Doctor, to what do we owe the pleasure?

Oh, I've just come for a quick drink.

Come through, I think I'll join you.

I'll see you for dinner.

It's been such a long time

since we danced like this together.

It's very sweet that you remember.

Do you really have to go back tonight?

Listen, the quicker I go, the quicker I get back.

Since you got that airplane, I never see you.

I'm sorry, I promise that after next week,

I'll not leave your side for a second.

[people chatting and laughing]

[soft tense music]

Mademoiselle , have you seen the singer?

She just went out to there.

But she's not finished singing.

Did she say where she was going?

She had her microphone in her hand, but--

What is it with that singer?

[tense foreboding music]

[both speak French]

[lively street music playing]

[speaking French]

[Valentin] The mademoiselle is with me.

[people whooping and shouting]

I don't know you.

It seems that we, we have the same, um,

uh, amne-amnesia.

Amnesia.

Yes, hmm, that's it.

Amnesia.

Thanks all the same for the applause just now.

Oh. For someone who has no memory, that's not bad.

You should feel lucky.

Having no memory makes everything new.

Hmm.

I see you've already thought this one through.

All the same, I'd like you to leave me alone.

Sure you're okay? Out here?

I'm okay.

Are you certain?

I'm sure.

Because you have the microphone still in your hand.

[soft music]

Would you please leave me alone?

It's very dangerous here.

Would you please?

Bonsoir .

[soft emotional music]

[blade clinks] [woman gasps]

[buttons beeping]

And then he said, "To show that I am a gentleman,

"can I offer you a glass of Bordeaux,

and instead of dying with a cutthroat, you die asleep."

That's why I couldn't raise the alarm last night.

And I was bound and gagged,

and without this kind lady

who came to make my room,

you see, I would not know.

Mademoiselle , whatever you do,

don't put the sheets in the laundry.

Would you be able to describe him to me?

As I told you,

he was covered all over.

Tall, thin.

And a look in his eyes that I'll remember for all my days.

And what language did he speak in?

In Italian.

In an accent certainly not from home.

And, uh, your husband was not with you?

My husband and I are touring Morocco.

And from time to time, he gets called back

to Rome for business.

So it can happen that I am alone for a day,

or two at most.

Normally, in this type of a hotel,

you feel quite secure, don't you?

And who in this hotel knew

that you would be alone last night?

Nobody. Even I didn't know about it.

My husband left at the last minute,

took his jet, and went back.

[Inspector] Shit.

Only a mountaineer could climb a thing like that.

Or a sailor, who was used to climbing a mast.

Why a sailor?

Last night, I saw a certain yachtsman drinking

down in the bar.

We can look at it one of two ways.

Either he climbed from below, or he dropped from up there.

Excuse me, sir.

The engineer doing the air conditioning

found something on the roof.

And you found that where?

There, some five minutes ago.

I was working on tuning the ventilation.

It was on the access cover.

That door over there, that leads where?

It's the elevator machine shaft.

[Inspector] And who is this Madame Falconetti?

[man] Married the third richest man in Italy,

bored to death.

The despair of the jet set is beyond belief.

Just wait here.

Good morning, sir.

My name is Farid Massaword.

I'm a Moroccan police officer.

Enchanté .

[Valentin speaks French]

Oh, you speak French?

Good.

Do you speak Italian, too?

Yeah, sometimes.

There we are.

One of the clients had a break-in last night in hotel.

I would like to pose you a stupid question.

Whereabouts were you last night

between three and four in the morning?

Probably in my bedroom.

Why probably?

With the blackouts and my memory at the moment,

I even forget my name.

You shouldn't worry, Inspector.

This man spent the night with me.

You're not gonna tell me you can't remember that.

Oh, could I possibly forget?

You could have told me straight away.

But monsieur, I'm somewhat discrete.

You'll find amnesia has an elegance of its own.

All right.

As you two spent the night together,

excuse me my bothering.

So if we two spent the night together,

perhaps we could be seen at breakfast together?

Merci for the alibi.

I've always preferred robbers to cops.

Especially when they're in a bad way.

But who said I'm in a bad way?

[Valentin] Anyway.

About those jewels, sorry but it's not me.

You can tell that to the cops, not me.

Really, it's not me.

[Valentin] Really.

Lie for one more second, and I leave this table.

All right, maybe it's me.

Maybe. Shh.

[birds chirping]

Did you really climb up that wall

with your bare hands?

Oh, it's not hard.

Maybe, but I want the details.

All right then.

If we really spent the night together,

you-you have to tell me what happened.

You really amnesiac, or just being gallant?

Help me to remember this unforgettable night.

First you started by following me into the town.

[Jane] The old town.

When two men came up to me, remember that ?

[man speaks French]

[Valentin] Yes, I remember that.

[Jane] You bravely stood up for me.

Then they pulled out enormous daggers.

-[Valentin] Daggers? -[Jane] Mm-hmm.

[kick lands] [dramatic music]

[blows landing]

[Jane] You were like a whirling dervish.

I've only seen that in cinema.

-I did that? -Mm-hmm.

-Come on. -Really.

Like in the cinema,

you kissed me like no one's ever kissed me before.

[Valentin] No, I did?

And, um, what then?

Just like in 1001 Nights , we made love

-until the early hours. -No.

Nice film, huh?

Yes, it's a nice film.

If it's showing tonight, I'd like to see it again.

It's not fair to play with my memory, you know?

But you could also be playing with my memory.

-Oh? -When?

Perhaps you will.

[watch beeping]

Oh, damn.

It's time for our pills.

You're not going to join me?

-No. -But why not?

Because.

Are you still going this evening

to have your scan done?

I don't think I will.

Why not?

Last night I met a weird woman who told me weird things.

Since then, I'm feeling better.

That doctor had no right to tell you about me.

Seriously.

This last night.

Were you teasing me?

Perhaps.

Oh no, no, no, no.

Tell me the truth, come on.

I hope it was you who stole those jewels.

Why?

Because I hate people that are normal.

You like playing games?

-A little? -Mm-hmm.

Yeah, a little.

When I want.

What are you doing in life

when you're not playing?

Thievery.

[Madame Falconetti speaking Italian]

[both speaking Italian]

Very fortunate it's not you.

Very fortunate.

It might be good if we left together.

Follow me to the lobby.

Shall we go?

Oh, you see that one who's going out?

-That one? -Yes.

I saw him at the bar yesterday evening.

He kept looking at me, and he was always smiling.

Do you know him?

Yes, the yachtsman.

Came in yesterday.

Have you questioned him?

Oh no, he's got a solid alibi.

He spent the whole night with that singer.

Thinking about this, I've come up with something.

There's my barman.

I'm sure it's not him, but he's from the Alps.

Used to do a lot of climbing.

[speaks Italian]

Go on, Greg.

Tell him what you just told me.

When the gentleman arrived at the bar last night,

I saw him eyeing up the beautiful Italian,

above all her jewels.

That's what jewels are for, to be admired.

You also speak Italian?

[speaks Italian]

The manager told me you were from the Alps.

You do a lot of climbing over in the Alps?

If I was that good at climbing,

I wouldn't be a barman.

And of course last night between three and four

in the morning, you gonna tell me you,

you were in your room?

Not exactly, no.

Where were you?

In bed with a pretty woman.

Hmm.

Who was that?

Hmm, the receptionist.

Well.

And we can check it?

You can check it.

Yes, in any case.

I'll not check any more alibis.

Only the innocent have no alibi.

You know what you're going to see is only a legend?

Lalla Chafia is no more existent than Santa Claus.

There are some, to improve their chances

when they get there, they walk from Fez

to Moulay Yacoub barefoot,

they're covered in blood.

How much further have we got to go?

How many kilometers?

[driver] Not many.

Twenty, 26.

Twenty, 26.

Can you count?

[Valentin] Monsieur .

Monsieur , excuse me.

Could you stop, uh, as soon as you can?

We'll do the rest on foot.

What? You are serious?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Who can resist a legend?

[Valentin chuckles]

[driver] Don't forget the legend says to follow the track,

the route Lalla Chafia took every day of her life.

Merci, monsieur.

[driver] You're welcome.

Well, we go that way, then.

[driver] Hey, sir!

-Sir! -Yeah?

Are you sure?

-Yeah. -You won't regret it?

Nope.

Okay, so 10 kilometers along, there's a village.

Don't forget to drink, huh?

-Thank you. -You'll be very hot!

Okay.

Hey, kids!

Hello, princess.

How are the two of you? Hello, Roger.

-You all right, Soleil? -Hi, Boubou.

Do you know if you're eating here tonight?

No, I've got to go back to Fez.

-Tomorrow. -All right.

[Soleil] Hey, where's the champion?

[Soleil] Oh, he's over there in a bad mood. You can't miss him.

Oh, shit!

What?

What's the matter with you?

They pushed the championship fight in Las Vegas

back three weeks!

-No kidding? -Yeah!

Oh shit.

-It's a war on nerves, Boubou. -Yeah, right.

I went and booked some seats and all.

What would you have to do for the handyman job?

Well, anything.

Things my husband doesn't want to do.

There a lot to do?

A lot, otherwise, we'd already have one.

Boubou, can I give you a crate for Fez?

So how come you landed in Morocco?

I wanted to forget things.

Strange for an amnesiac, no?

[wind rustling]

In fact, the receptionist in the hotel was quite certain.

They had a taxi from Moulay Yacoub to go up to the tomb

of Lalla Chafia.

Ah yes.

[man] Ever been up there, Inspector?

Yeah.

About three years ago when my wife was quite ill.

Did it work?

It seems so.

What do you have to do?

[Inspector] In the morning, you have to go to the bus

to be purified, wash yourself,

then in the midday sun, when it is very, very hot

you go up to the tomb of Lalla Chafia.

Once up there, make a wish, and come down.

[man] So for now sir,

still nothing proves it was the yachtsman.

[Inspector] I'd say given the hit list

we just got from London, you'd need an act of God

for it to be someone else.

Did you see what he pulled off in '98 in London?

[man] 1,700,000.

One million eight.

At one million nine, now.

1,900,000 pounds.

At one million nine.

Two million pounds.

At two million pounds. 2,200,000.

At two million two.

At two million two, two million four.

Two million six.

At 2,600,000.

At 2,600,000 pounds.

Anymore?

At 2,600,000 pounds.

Your bid, sir, selling for 2,600,000.

Any of us on 2,600,000 pounds?

-[man] Any of us? -Three.

[man] Three million pounds.

I have three million pounds, on my right.

Three million pounds.

Against you sir, at three million pounds,

I'm selling for three million pounds, then.

Any more?

[bangs hammer]

Sold.

[all applauding]

[bidder] Three million pounds for the La Diere?

Are you mad, or what?

I don't think you could ever pay too much for the young boy.

So you have to pay for it.

How sad.

And what if I'd gone up to four?

I still would've kicked your ass.

So, you like him that much, huh?

Or do you just hate me?

Give me a month to think about that.

Maybe I'll be back in touch, hmm?

Why a month?

In a month I'll know whether he bores me.

And you'll know whether you're still interested.

And how much will he cost in a month time?

No more than I paid today.

So, there's a little chance we have a meeting in a month, then?

Au revoir , Mr. Hitchcock.

[bell tolling]

So what is this supposed to mean?

Well, uh, I've had a couple of deals

that have gone belly up, and I,

I need the ready cash.

And what is your price?

Your last bid.

2.6.

Two million.

Oh ye, ye.

You take advantage of my predicament.

In that case, we'll make it 1,800,000.

[bidder snickering]

What can I do?

Money talks.

In one month from prince to pauper.

[Valentin] One month.

Just time enough to make a copy.

A very, very nice copy.

[Jane] I don't see what you're getting at.

[Valentin] Well a month, that's exactly the time I needed

to make, to make a copy, which I sold him.

And I kept the original myself.

[Jane] You're a terrible man.

You're a real crook.

[Valentin] Well look, it's not my fault

that we live in a, in a world where there are

more speculators than connoisseurs.

[Jane] I'm not surprised that you get headaches.

[Valentin chuckles]

[Valentin] What about you then?

Where do your headaches come from?

[Jane] Looking back on my love life.

There are also more speculators than connoisseurs.

And if the miracle only works for one of us?

Whatever happens, I still think that

that all that happens in life is to test us for our own good.

Even having such headaches?

Well without them, we wouldn't have met.

And do you think that's good for us?

[all singing in foreign language]

If anyone comes in by the name of Valentin Valentin

or Jane Lester, you're to call the police in Fez.

Okay, thank you.

And if as the legend has it,

to go up to Lalla Chafia, they came from Fez

to Moulay Yacoub on foot?

They'd still be on the track.

[Inspector] Well then, we go back down the track.

Come on.

Anyone about?

Hello, hello?

Are they open?

You know.

If we'd gone to have our scans,

we'd already know the news.

If someone gave you a little envelope

containing the date of your death,

would you open it?

Is that why you decided to go and visit

this Lalla Chafia?

And what made you decide to come along?

[cell phone beeping]

[Valentin] Hello?

[Françoise] Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

You didn't fix your radio yet.

Uh, how could I?

I'm in a 60-foot sea surrounded by icebergs.

Have you made it to Antarctica?

No, no, no.

I'm joking.

Um, I'm off the coast of Guinea.

Dead calm, no wind. I'm stuck here, really.

The icebergs are floating in my scotch.

How is your memory?

Oh, fine.

Flat. Nothing.

Empty, like, uh,

I have nothing, no problem with that.

[donkey screeching]

What was that?

A whale.

They sound just like donkeys, don't they?

You're not alone, then?

Sorry? You're breaking up.

Let-let me call you back

[phone beeps]

[dogs barking]

I was beginning to think you were someone special,

but you're just someone.

I'm just incapable.

[phone clatters]

So what do you have against your wife?

One of these days, what I'd like to have against you.

And why is that?

I don't know.

Just the fault of passing time.

There's no other solution.

To separate.

In time, or maybe die in time.

[sings in French]

[speaks in French]

[Jane singing in French]

[soft piano music]

[kids shouting]

[tense music]

I brought you a tea.

[Valentin] Jane, are you all right?

What do donkeys do to see in the dark?

It's an odd question.

Do you remember me, Jane?

[soft tense music]

[Jane] I don't like it when it gets dark.

Me neither.

Have a drink.

[tea splashes]

Don't worry.

Have half each.

Merci .

To Lalla Chafia.

[donkeys screeching]

I think they want us to go.

[engine rumbling]

Feeling any better?

How long did that last?

Oh, two, three minutes.

As long as it took to get from over there to here.

Do you want me to call the taxi?

No, I just want to drink a drop of water,

and off we go.

[tires screech]

Bonjour, monsieur! Bonjour.

This morning I learnt a lot of things about you.

In my place, what would you do?

Oh, um.

How many times must I tell you

that this man spent the whole night with me?

But Madame , a fantasy has never been an alibi.

Please, Inspector. Just leave her out of this.

She's very tired.

I'll come with you.

Are you arresting him?

No, I'm not arresting him.

I shall ask him a few questions.

If you could come tomorrow to the commissar

to sign your statement.

Thank you, Madame .

Let's go.

Ask Lalla Chafia who's the real culprit.

Would you mind, monsieur ?

Don't waste time.

Go on to Lalla Chafia.

Valentin!

[Jane] Wait!

You forgot this!

What? What is this?

The girl at Suz gave it to me.

That's it, come on.

[engine starts] [doors shut]

[sirens wailing]

It happened so fast.

It's difficult to be very precise,

and it was dark.

Don't worry.

We've got nothing to lose now.

Take off your hood, please.

Thank you.

Ever seen this man before?

Yes.

In the bar last night, I think, yes.

I think I saw him there.

Are you still intending to make the same offer

you made to me this morning?

Yes I am.

This kind couple have the generosity to say

that if you return the jewels,

no charges will be pressed against you,

and the Moroccan police will forget you ever existed.

I shall go even farther.

I offer officially $100,000 for whoever

gets back the jewels.

[Inspector] There you go.

Same deal for you, too.

Right.

This lady and gentleman will stay in Fez a few days

to wait inquiries.

I hope that your memory will come back real quick.

I really hope so.

No.

No, I'm sure it's not him.

No, it's not him.

Thank you, Madame.

Oh, I knew it couldn't be him.

Two years he's been with us.

Nothing but compliments.

Well, if it's not him, it's simple.

It's the other one.

[Inspector] For sure.

[tense music]

Turn off the telephone.

I'm in interrogation.

One hour, got it?

If I don't see a doctor pretty soon,

my head's going to explode.

Huh.

If you tell me where the jewels are,

I'll take you straight to the hospital.

Hurry up, open the door.

But with the memory lapses I'm having at the moment,

even if I was the culprit,

I probably wouldn't even remember.

Yeah.

Oh yeah, right.

[chuckles] Nevertheless.

Whenever I arrest someone, he's innocent.

Amnesiac.

An orphan.

Right.

Shut the door, will you?

Please, just call Dr. Lamy in the hospital in Fez.

He'll confirm it all, too.

If you remember going to see a doctor,

I would say your memory's going to come back to you.

I've got lots of time.

We've got lots of time.

[sings in French] [soft music]

[Valentin] Do you mind if I sit down?

[Inspector] With pleasure.

Once I know where the jewels are.

[Reporter] More than $2 million in jewels.

That seems to be the sum of the astronomical theft

that has been committed in the Hotel Sofitel Jamai in Fez,

from Contesse Falconetti,

wife of the couturier of the same name.

This necklace.

You don't like it?

Yes.

[Reporter continuing] Before threatening her,

and escaping with $2 million in jewels.

Is your climbing that good?

Would you like it to be me?

All the suspects that were questioned

have been released except a certain Valentin Valentin,

a yachtsman with a strange amnesia,

and a suspect track record,

a lounge lizard by reputation who was by chance

in the Hotel Jamai in Fez

at the time of the robbery,

and I said lizard, as only a spider or a lizard

would be able to climb such a high wall to gain access.

[TV continues] There's still more than $5 million...

What's this all about?

I spoke to him a while ago on the boat.

So his world tour was an alibi?

He's good.

I can see how you were seduced.

I knew I was being taken for a ride,

but not that far.

Donkeys that sound like whales,

mobile phones that don't work.

I should have seen it.

Do you still love him?

What?

You still love him?

Yes, I think so.

Yes.

He's very good, then.

Yeah, operator.

I'd like to be put in contact with, um,

with the Embassy for Morocco.

Yes, the Moroccan Embassy, please.

If you want to hire a plane, and off we go.

Damn, it was cut off.

[exhales]

[Inspector] Tell me where jewels are,

and you can sit down.

The chair is waiting for you.

No, the Embassy for Morocco in Morocco.

No, not the Embassy for Morocco

-in Paris-- -There's no--

Wait, wait, wait. Shh, wait.

Yes, the Moroccan one in Morocco.

I'm sorry to bother you,

but there's no embassy for Morocco in Morocco.

Embassies are abroad.

[both laughing]

This pleases no one to do this!

You don't feel like talking to me?

He does it often, yes.

What do you mean, he does it often?

What's next?

Yes no, I know, yeah.

Yes, yes he does it quite often.

It's-it's been a career.

What does he do often?

Who's that?

There's nobody. I'm joking.

Very funny, huh.

It's just that I'm not sure that he needs you

there right now this second, so there.

How long were you two together for?

Well, we're still together.

Good.

That's good.

We're all together, then.

If you want, yes.

We're all together.

As well as that, in a while, we're going to eat.

We're going to sleep.

Yes, we're going to sleep in front of you.

Yes.

It's never the right time, but, um,

but, uh,

I'm really in love with you, so.

[Thierry] So I'm telling you now.

Hmm?

You're not going to laugh, hmm?

[Thierry] Well, a little, huh?

[chuckles]

Seriously, what should I do about Valentin?

[soft jazz music]

[Inspector sighs]

It feels good to lie down.

[Inspector] You see, the worst,

it's around four, five in the morning.

Then the day starts, and there's not many

can put up with that.

Don't you like it?

Yes, yes.

Did he really buy it, the barman in the hotel?

Well yes, of course.

Thanks!

No, it's lovely.

I'll keep it. Thanks!

[people chanting in French]

[door creaks]

[lock turning]

[Inspector] Sixteen hours standing up.

It's a record.

[Inspector] You do realize that

if you had told me where the jewels are,

you would be now climbing the mountain with your girlfriend

to Lalla Chafia.

[Inspector] You wouldn't like to put yourself in our position.

Now listen.

It is really like an act of God

that the jewels and a man like you met.

You were made for each other. [echoing]

Good. Are you listening?

For the last time, tell me where the jewels are...

and...

[insects buzzing]

[drumming music]

[all chanting]

[soft jazz music]

[Jane singing in French]

[tense music]

* You can see *

* I can breathe *

* Take it slow *

[tense foreboding music]

* Johnny Doe *

* You can see *

* I can breathe *

* Stop the show *

[people whispering]

[Valentin] Do you remember me?

So how was Lalla Chafia?

It was unbelievable.

Another dream I would love to be sharing with you.

[birds chirping]

[muffled music plays in distance]

How's Jane?

[Inspector scoffs]

If you tell me where the jewels are,

we can go and see her together.

Have you been in touch with Dr. Lamy?

Yeah.

He'll be here in five minutes.

[Sam] This one's not normal.

First up, last to bed.

Friendly with everyone.

[sighs] If we can't trust the good ones,

what do we do?

At least this one works.

[Sam] He works as if he's already the boss.

Perhaps he loves the region.

Hmm.

Well, what if you're the region?

[Soleil] You know the whole region's in love with me.

The next two or three days,

if he doesn't screw up, he's out.

Never happy, huh?

One wrong step, buddy, and you're out.

[all singing in French]

[clapping rhythmically]

We know you did not spend the night together.

The porter at the hotel saw you come back from town

at five in the morning on your own.

And if it was me who did the job?

While you are waiting, here's a bit of his past.

For me, his future is more interesting.

Would you like to hear his statement?

Here.

To the question did you spend the night of the 12th-13th

with Miss Jane Lester in her room at the Hotel Jambai?

The answer is no.

That proves that he's a gentleman.

Can I see him?

When we've got the jewels back.

Is he in pain?

You've known each other for some time?

Two days.

You like Morocco?

If you let me see him, yes.

[Inspector laughs]

I'd like to know your real reason for staying here.

Well I think I'm about to rob you.

There's nothing to take.

Yes there is.

You.

At first I thought I'd hang out here for some time, then...

then you.

[girl] Mommy, hello.

Oh, how's it going, princess?

-You okay? -Hi, Mommy. All right?

[Soleil] How's school?

-[girl] Mommy- -[Soleil] Okay, good. All right.

Yeah, we'll see that later. Yeah.

[girl] What have you been doing?

I went shopping with David.

-[girl] Let's go. -Let's go, okay.

So, um.

[Soleil] So, so how was school?

[man] So how is my handyman doing?

[Sam exhales]

[Sam] He's doing all too well.

The other day, when he went shopping with Soleil,

I had a look in his things.

You looked in his things?

What did you find?

Yeah, passports and credit cards and jewels.

Oh, damn.

That's why I'd like you to be there

tomorrow at training.

Yeah, that's not a problem.

What, uh, what do you want me to do?

The last three days, whenever I'm training,

Soleil's not about.

Where's Soleil?

Wait a sec, you're a bit, a bit paranoid.

Perhaps you're getting...uh, because, listen,

me, if I'm a man like him, right?

I turn up here, and I see you're a boxer,

so I'm not going to screw up, by, by trying

to pull the man's wife.

[man] Anyway, I say all that because it seems to me

a bit unlikely.

Perhaps he's just a nice guy, huh?

Have you talked to the police about it?

A little bit, yeah.

[dramatic music]

No.

It's not him.

It's not him? Perhaps, perhaps.

But it is him.

Can I present our specialist, the big handyman?

To Ouarzazate.

Marrakech, Rabat.

Two weeks here, three months there.

He finds a job, he works all day and night,

a trick to get their confidence.

And when he's got the keys,

they're cleaned out.

Without a doubt, the most similar is the Englishman.

[Dr. Lamy] With a tumor like that, it's a miracle he still

remembers his own name.

He could have committed the theft

without remembering it.

What do you recommend?

An operation.

Immediately. We haven't got much more time.

After the operation, he'll be able to remember anything?

[Inspector] What use will all those jewels be to you

if I don't let you go and have the operation?

At the moment, they may at least serve

as some insurance.

After the operation,

I shall tell you where to find the jewels.

So it was you?

Sorry, it was me.

I'm very sorry.

The singer, she, she has the same thing?

She preferred to go and see Lalla Chafia,

and I agree with her.

Hmm.

And what are the odds for me?

There's one chance.

One in 10.

[Valentin exhales]

[casual music]

[Jane speaking French]

* The falling leaves *

* Drift by the window *

* The autumn leaves *

* Of red and gold *

* I see your lips *

* The summer kisses *

[cell phone ringing]

[whispering in Italian]

* I used to hold *

* Since you went away *

* The days grow long *

This wind is crazy this evening.

* And soon I hear *

* Old winter songs *

Haven't you seen that man somewhere before?

Which one?

That one sat at the back on his own.

At the end.

No, he doesn't seem at all familiar.

Well, I think he should be.

I recall now, he was with us in Mogador.

And Rabat.

And Marrakech, also.

[Jane] Hello, Inspector.

It's Jane.

I have some information that may be of interest to you.

[Inspector] Probably not as much as that

that I have to give to you.

Valentin has just confessed.

And they'll operate tomorrow.

Didn't it go well?

Uh, no, it's someone else.

Oh.

But the two of them aren't so far apart.

And, uh, can I see him?

Uh, you can watch him sleep,

but he'll be in a coma for several days.

Is there a chance he'll come through?

Well, uh, if he's on good terms with you know who.

[Inspector exhales]

It was the police.

It was Valentin who took the jewels.

He confessed.

The bad news is he can't remember where they are.

He's having an operation.

Nine out of 10 that he'll never wake up.

Are you sure that the insurance will bend your ear?

For the umpteenth time, I told you to put

those bloody jewels in the safe box at the hotel.

There, we'll be insured.

[scoffs]

I'm sorry.

But at least I had the sense to come down.

[Monsieur Falconetti] And the bottle of Bordeaux.

That gave you good sense, no doubt.

In what state were you in that evening?

You really piss me off.

Where are you going?

[Monsieur Falconetti] To get the plane ready.

There is no reason to stay here.

I'll get in your way.

[shouts in Italian]

[door shuts]

[cellphone beeping] [casual jazz music]

Hello?

[Jane singing in French]

[water splashes]

She's there.

He's here.

Look.

Let's see.

[chambermaid] I'm sure it's him.

Why do you say that?

I do that apartment every morning.

There is more than one person there.

And I smelled the sheets.

I could recognize perfume from Madame Falconetti.

[Jane singing in French]

And a taxi as well, please.

Thanks.

Could you have my baggage brought down?

Of course.

Thank you very much.

Most kind, sir.

Mouna?

He's on his way.

Try to slow the deal best you can.

I'll get moving.

I'm sorry, sir.

But our computer has just broken down.

And the porter, he's broken down too?

[receptionist] It's time for the call to prayer,

even for our porters.

If I miss that plane, I promise you--

[Inspector] Then you can take the next one.

What?

You can take the next one in five or six years time.

What's this all about?

This chambermaid has just found the jewels.

In your baggage.

No, but it was Madame Falconetti who gave me them.

Threatened with a knife?

No, she's my mistress.

I think she's allowed to give me a present.

Do you want me to remind you

of the number of mistresses you had

in these last 20 years?

In all that time, you never gave me a $2 million present.

[Inspector] Madame ?

Monsieur !

I think it would be better if you delayed your trip, please.

[Inspector] Madame Falconetti.

For the umpteenth time.

You cannot leave this country until you have admitted

that it was you who organized the theft of the jewels

to profit your lover, who could then pay his debts,

his numerous debts!

* Like I feel today *

* If I'm feeling tomorrow *

* Whoo, like I feel today *

Merci , monsieur.

I like it, very nice.

* I'm gonna pack my bags *

If you wouldn't mind moving a bit.

It would help me out.

Would you mind?

If I have to move down, you'll regret it a lot.

Why is that?

Because I have some jewels for you.

Okay, you're very kind.

But we have all we need right here, very kind.

But no, I'm sure you-- [coin clinks]

Merci , monsieur.

Can you move down please? You're very kind.

Would you mind?

You're making this very difficult for me.

What do you mean, exactly?

What I'm telling you, sir,

is I've always had everything go right my way in life.

Several weeks ago, a doc said to me,

unless I operate on your head, you're gonna die.

-So I said to the Lord-- -I'm sorry--

I said Lord, if you let me through this,

then I shall pay back every man

from whom I've ever stolen in my life.

Here I am, sir.

I'm alive.

Okay, uh.

Go call the police.

* I said I hate to see *

* That evening sun go down *

But the, what is this?

Candid Camera?

[laughing] No.

Oh. [phone ringing]

Please keep?

I'm sorry.

Hello?

No, I can't talk now.

Something's happened.

No, no.

Go away.

Sir!

You forgot your statues!

I don't want the statues.

But--

I had lots of statues about 40 years ago

when I was a little boy.

I used to steal them from you,

and then I'd take them across the bridge

and sell them for half-price.

That was how I started.

So now I paid you back,

plus a little bit of interest.

And you don't want the statues?

What would I do with statues?

-Good luck. -Oh!

[woman sobbing]

Oh.

[exciting fanfare music] [fireworks exploding]

[crowd cheering] [horn blaring]

[all cheering and clapping]

[horn blaring]

[all cheering] [horns blaring]

[all clapping and cheering]

[horns blaring]

[bright inspiring music]

Hello?

[Jane] Bonjour .

Oh, Jane.

Where are you?

[Jane] In Paris.

I see.

Well, how's it going?

[Jane] Like I've had a miracle.

Ah.

[Jane] And you?

Like I'd had an operation.

Where are you right now?

I-I'm at the start of the round the world yacht race.

I came here to see my friend Thierry leave.

He's got a new boat.

His boat's just leaving at the very moment.

Can you hear the screams of the crowd?

[Jane] I hear them.

I can see, I mean, I could see them.

[Valentin] What are you doing in Paris?

[Jane] I sing every night in a jazz club,

and tonight I'm gonna sing about you.

[soft jazz music]

[fireworks exploding]

[Jane singing in French]

* Johnny Doe *

* You can see *

* I can breathe *

* Take it slow *

* Johnny Doe *

* You can see *

* I can breathe *

* Stop the show *

[Jane singing in French]

* You can see *

* I can breathe *

* Take it slow *

* Johnny Doe *

* You can see *

* I can breathe *

* Stop the show *

* And now ladies and gentlemen *

[singing in French]

* Is he more than a gentleman *

[sings in French]

* Valentin just out for fun *

[sings in French]

* She believes that a heaven's a name *

* In a neon light every night *

* And she dreams of the pleasure of fame *

* And another chance to survive *

[singing in French]

* In the black of the city night *

[sings in French]

* Where she'd be so sophisticated, so love *

* It was all that she had to wear *

* Is it someone who really cares *

* Or an empty black chair *

[soft tense music]

[birds chirping]

Life is just sleep.

And love is just a dream.

[Jane] Do you remember me?

If all goes to plan, in three weeks, a month,

you can go back to sea.

[Jane singing in French]

[both laughing]

You like the sea, do you?

[Jane] I hope so.

Where are we off to, captain?

[Valentin] Well, if I'm going to pay back

all my ill-gotten gains,

then I'm afraid we're gonna have to make a trip

right round the world.

You okay with that?
