Original subtitles

No one is all good or all bad

It is all relative

Hurry up, you're late

Late again?

Subtitles by Harold BRAV

As you know, the dance can replace culture...

or even a good meal, why not?

It can replace conversation!

In that spirit...

and knowing the importance it can have...

You're late!

When you work with me you must never be late

In that spirit, and knowing the importance...

it can have forthe lives of two dancers...

in the first three minutes of contact...

I am going to teach you how they dance...

in the leading ballrooms of Europe

Play a slow fox trot with that thing there...

You're always late!

This slow dance is always the first one learned...

and is therefore the last one to be danced

You learn it because it permits you to choose...

after only three minutes...

the partner forthe rest of your life

So the technique is very, very easy

It permits you to listen to your partner's heart

It's very easy,

rhythmic and regular... in cadence

But a demonstration is better than an explanation

Sir, if you please...

My pal's there...

But I asked you, please

Your cigar's in the way, give it to your pal

Watch the arm...

A little tighter

The music a little louder, please!

Boys and girls together

Very good! That's how you do it...

My pal hasn't got a...

Dance with him, then... see if I care

Very good, dear... that's it

Tighter...!

Very good...

Not very good, but you'll learn

Very good... a little emotion in the face

This is a slow fox trot

Next week I will teach you the waltz

It will be unforgettable! It's magnificent...

You can imagine what the waltz is like...

Here, this'll have to do

Lots of luck, Jacques

Do I call?

Sure, call them

Is Jacques here?

Lots of luck

Tomorrow the white car has to go fasterthan usual

Usually it has to go faster than the cops!

Hispano-Suiza? King of cars... car of kings!

When I make it big, that's the carfor me

How fast can it go?

It depends on the weather...

and who's driving it!

That's for cigarettes...

That's forthe trip

And don't forget...

If you ever need Mr Lafont, Mr Lafont is always here

I'll remember... and "fasterthan the cops!"

Is your mechanic here?

More pictures?

Publicity foryou

All right then, but make it snappy!

Forthe Panhard the other day...

I talked to the ship company

Take that away

Wait...

They said that...

if you win the bout, they'll pay our way back

They'll pay our way back? You're sure?

Sounds good... you'd bettertouch wood!

You touch wood!

Where'll I find wood in a Hispano motor?

Got enough?

One more!

The last one...

Okay

Pretty good, huh?

Wait! The towel's in the way...

Marcel Cerdan, the winner in the third round

What's my name?

Jacques... what's your name?

What's your name?

What's his name?

For God's sake, what's your name?

How many fingers?

We've got to find a boat to take us back to France

That's my last fight in Casablanca!

Wait'll I get our share of the purse...

from those rug merchants

Rug merchants!

What if they screw us?

Maybe we can sue Marcel Cerdan...

for assault and battery, and collect damages

Ready for more bad news?

We've been fired

Prolonged absences

Nobody loves a loser

Mr Lafont still wants to work with us

Keep away from Lafont

He's rotten to the core

Rotten? Well, right now...

We saw this in Paris

Not in Arabic

You like it?

I don't dislike it

May I phone?

No drinks, no phone!

I said no!

I heard you!

I'm calling the police

Yes, the police

Commissioner Blanchot, please

Daddy? I made it... with honors!

Henceforth, you are one of the nation's elite

Going to college is easy, leaving it is what's hard!

Life is simple today... just avoid Jews and Communists

And niggers, queers, crooks, bums and masons...

Your brother and his little jokes

I'm not joking

Anyway, congratulations...

Wonderful! I'll be right there

Sorry...

The Odeon killer has been trapped on a rooftop

I was going to give you this later

I'm proud of you

I'm coming foryour gun, just hand it to me

And I promise I'll help you

Nobody move!

I should have taken him alive

He'd have been condemned anyway

And we're for capital punishment...

It's my fault, I must have scared him

I almost had him

Want a lift?

It ought to get you a promotion

I should hope so!

How many men at your caserne?

2,648... why?

If you're satisfied, spread the word

Everfall in love with a customer?

I love 100 guys because I don't love any

What if you fall in love with one?

Then I'll love him like 100 guys at once!

And I know what I'm talking about

Isn't Room 41 free yet? They sure take theirtime!

What's your rank?

Lieutenant

I should've charged you more

How about dinnertonight?

No, Lieutenant!

And tomorrow night?

It's still no, Lieutenant

A little extra...

Sorry, I never kiss

See you next week, beautiful

Sure, next week, Lieutenant

I've got it! We'll buy a taxi

I'll drive days, you drive nights

Why do I drive nights?

Because it was my idea

- How do we buy a cab? - Don't complicate things

Wait till the newsreel's over

Place de I'Opera in Paris,

the big star isn't Josephine Baker or Maurice Chevalier

It's the new car created by Mr Andr� Citro�n

Last year's revolutionary 1934 model caused a sensation

It is still the only car with rack-bar steering,

hydraulic brakes, torsion-bar suspension,

hydraulic shock absorbers, independent wheels,

overhead-valve engine and, of course...

the legendary "Traction avant," the road-holding front-wheel drive

- How much? - 20,150 francs

I mean the speed

80 MPH

Main characteristic?

Front-wheel drive, 2nd and 3rd gears synchronized

What's the matter with first?

Is that all?

This one won the first Paris-Moscow Rally...

as well as at Monthl�ry and Le Mans

Care to sit in it?

Comfortable, huh?

It's hard to beat

I'm not catching anything

Because of your hat

I'm not catching anything either

Because you talk too much

You're supposed to fish in silence

It's the new Citro�n!

The Traction like in the newsreels!

Like in the newsreels...

Look at how pretty it is!

See what I catch when I fish?

Is it indiscreet to ask how we pay for it?

How soon could I get delivery?

10-15 months, if you ordertoday

The price of success...

Could I try it, to make up my mind?

Absolutely! It's the best way...

Try it and you'll buy it!

Is that so?

Hey! You can't try it whitout me...

How can we drive cab in a stolen car?

You always miss the boat

Doesn't a buggy like this deserve a betterfate?

You just missed another boat

What's on your mind?

Naughty thoughts...

Care to explain?

Some jerk'll think them some day...

I might as well be the first

Hey, boys... soup's on!

No, we're going to break the car in

It's all ready!

We want to beat the rush hour

Let's eat...

Let's go!

I'm fed up!

Look, Miss France, shut up or walk home

You and your big talk make me sick, you hear?

Same question, same answer

Let me show you how the brakes work

Brakes, my ass!

You're kicking us out

Exactly! Goodbye...

You faggots!

Phony pimps!

Who you calling phony...?

You dirty Jew!

You bunch of damn dirty Jews!

Say, I'm not Jewish... are you?

Just a little bit

How did she know?

Want me to draw you a picture?

Now isn't this too much car for a taxi?

You're right

Watch how it holds the road

It won't leave the road, no matter what you do!

It's not 100% foolproof yet

No...

Look at us! Are you hurt?

In any other car, we'd have been dead

What a car!

Isn't it terrific?

Yes, it's terrific

Well then?

Did you kill the Odeon killer?

Yes, I'm the one who killed him

Was your picture in the papers?

Yes, my picture was in the papers...

I'm listening...

We'll trade you some information for some protection

Why do you need protection?

We're sort of what you might call peripatetic

You're what?

Streetwalkers...

Arlette and me...

Well... you tell him!

Tell me, Arlette

No... you tell him

You tell me

No, you'd better...

Go on, Arlette

Well, we were picnicking with these fellows and...

Look at the motor!

Take off your hat

Those two guys worry me

Listen, my Jewish schnozz would smell any trouble

Like it did with Marcel Cerdan?

Look at the motor!

You like that post office?

From the outside, yes

We'll soon know

Tails we don't...

heads we do

Heads!

Anyway, I'm so sure of this car...

Once they're inside, we get into our cars

No shooting, right?

They're not even loaded

You got all the money out?

Shit!

Let's go!

Would you mind?

Let's get out of here!

What'll I do?

Shovel coal and hang on tight!

YourJewish schnozz!

The rabbi snipped it by mistake!

You should talk! A great post office...

Cops posted all over it!

Anyway, this car is making hold-up history

Until we get Tractions, we're in trouble

Are you okay?

Okay, chief

Okay overthere?

Okay, chief!

So are we

Do you need a corkscrew?

Coming, chief

Where can we find the bitches who squealed?

At the dance hall where we picked them up

Make it Saturday night

A Suze, a Ricard, a Dubonnet, a Martini!

Thanks, no slow dances for me

No slow dances...

No slow dances

I saw a girl in back who likes them slow

Over in the corner...

Yes, a little brunette

You like slow dances? Not me...

We can try a waltz later, though...

Want to dance, Miss?

Thanks, no slow dances

Why not?

I don't like your mug

You heard the lady...

Boy, are you heavy!

You've put on weight

I'm starving!

Sure...

Here's your dough

One more?

Thanks, I earned it

True... Go out that way!

What's wrong with slow dances?

What happens afterward

How'd you get that scar?

That's what I'm talking about

Afox trot that turned into a war dance?

Very funny

It's not ugly, it's kind of... virile

You sure know how to compliment a girl

I probably stopped that guy from tattooing you

I haven't forgotten

We're dancing, aren't we?

Independent, aren't you?

I might depend on a man, never on a pimp

Do I look like a pimp?

In that suit, yes

I didn't make the suit

You're wearing it

Been dancing long?

It's instinctive

Like it?

Never had one that sang before

Can't you sing?

Come on, sing

You're betterthan I am!

That's too high for me

That's reverse

Now what are the gears?

Well, I guess you start in first...

then shift into 2nd, and so on...

When you're in 3rd, what then?

There are no more

But I want to go faster

If you're in 3rd, what do you do?

You mean to go faster?

You said you shift from first to 2nd to 3rd

What then?

I stay in 3rd!

That's an idea

Do you know what that is?

The windshield... and the wipers work there

We don't just work summers, you know

That's the ignition... I showed you how it works

Try to start the motor

Start the car... You're in neutral

I shift into first?

You said to start in first

Afteryou start the car

All right, but you can see I'm not...

You're doing it on purpose

No I'm not

ljust can't get it

Turn on the ignition... Now the starter

Like that? Is it on?

Yeah... now the starter

See? Nothing happens

I pull it but nothing happens

Use the accelerator

You have to work at it

It's smoking!

Pretty, isn't it? See what you've done?

I pushed and pulled like you said and it's smoking!

What we're going to do...

is practice at home, at a table, with a drawing!

As you were, and I'll show you

Swing your arm... Now where's your gun?

Aren't there ladies' guns?

When you're ready for one... Now step back

Keep your distance... Swing your arm

Now what does he look like?

Ajerk!

Okay, start again

Hands up... Go ahead...

What did I tell you?

What?

To keep your distance, damn it!

Again

That's better! It isn't loaded, is it?

You said no

I should have loaded it

Easy does it.

Bitch!

The bitch is that the bottle's still there

Don't turn your head when you shoot

We'll go closer but you've got to relax

I am relaxed!

You're a bundle of nerves

Raise your arm

Bitch! What a blast!

It didn't blast the bottle

If you don't hit it from here, we're through

No dead weight on this team

Shit! Well, you show me how

Not from this close

Watch out! If you miss, we're through!

Well, goodbye! No hard feelings...

Yeah, well... let's go

I did it!

Stop bragging... the noise did it!

I tell you the noise did it

It was probably cracked

Now there is a man!

Did you see that?

Am I in the way?

Who's coming tonight?

What matters is that the Rothschilds be there

Turn off the motor

I'm sorry, that's all I can do foryou

lt'll do fine

Have a nice day

Follow them

Difficult, sir, it's a Traction

What is that?

Mr Citro�n's new car that wins all the races

To Citro�n, then

A one-year wait, sir

To Andr� Citro�n's, then

He's dead, sir

To our insurers, then

Very well, Madame

Not too scared, my dear?

No! It was quite entertaining

Only the big stuff, no rings... Get to the car!

You get going, too

They got here?

They got here

About time

You said it!

Who tipped them off?

I did

I wanted to test the new buggy

You're crazy!

Consider this modest Medal of Merit...

as a small token of our esteem

The Prefect of Police and I

thank you foryou crime-fighting exploits

History teaches those who would learn from it

Today's social unrest, inflation and unemployment...

warn the Police of tomorrow's crime wave

That is why I thank you forthis medal

It will re-inforce my enthusiasm...

for a job I chose and that I love

Please help yourselves from the buffet

You've met my family?

Let me introduce you

My wife

My sincere congratulations

My wife's brother

My daughter

And my son

You speak as well as Dad does

True! He's told us a great deal about you

He sings your praises daily

And I feel I know all of you

We were surely fated to meet

It's a little boring, isn't it?

Fortunately, you're here

What time must you be home?

No special time... Dad trusts you

He doesn't know me very well

It won't be too late if we leave now

Oh, yes... if you want to

How can you say I look like Anabella?

I'm no movie star!

If any cops saw me now!

What would they say?

That I was in love

How could they tell?

I'm acting like a kid!

Speak louder! I can't hearyou

Hello! Can you hear me now?

That's better... Where are you?

In New York

What are you doing in New York?

I'll be here for 2 or 3 years

That's terrible!

I won't see you for 2 or 3 years

Yes... it's awful

What's New York like?

New York is terrific

It's immense

Some buildings are taller than the Eiffel Tower

I'm on the 100th floor

It's fantastic... Why not come over?

I'd love to be on a tall building with you

Come on! I'm waiting

We must have been cut off, I can't hearyou at all

Is it an old family custom...

to sit so far apart?

My mother calls it "intimate dining"

It's different... not bad at all

But it might be even better like this

That's shocking!

What if my mother came in now?

Do I scare you?

Have you ever seen two people...

dining so close to each other?

I've never seen them sitting so far apart!

You're a very sexy boxer

Where do I put these?

We don't have any vases

Well?

Wait

Keep it in the family

- How much? - Small potatoes

It was a small bank

Want to change the oil in the car later?

I changed it yesterday

Why didn't you say so?

"Article 213

"The spouses assure the moral...

"and material welfare of the family

"They provide an education forthe children...

"and prepare theirfuture"

Kids get born without Article 213, right?

"Article 215

"The spouses pledge mutual fidelity"

Article 215 is life imprisonment

One prisoner, one jailer... and vice-versa

We cross it off, right?

A big "X" and a little kiss

That's enough!

Little kisses are short

Do you, Bruno Deschamp, take foryour lawful wife...

Dominique Blanchot here present?

I do

Do you, Dominique Blanchot, take foryour lawful husband...

Bruno Deschamps here present?

I do

In the name of the law...

I declare you united in wedlock

Since the Civil Code makes no sense...

neither does marriage, right?

So by the powers I've given myself, I declare you...

united by the bonds of free love...

for better orfor worse

Why did they choose Vichy?

Why did you choose me?

That seems obvious!

Thirsty? Want something to drink?

If you could find a beer!

Hold my place

A little kiss

This hotel and this town are sinister

You'll have to get used to it

Because, my love, France is now Vichy

Beautiful France...

In Vichy, yellow with fear... not jaundice!

What is a Frenchman today?

What is a Frenchman?

Afree man or one who's occupied

What do I become in all this?

You?

Afirst lady of Vichy, hence of France

Ah, yes... again France!

But what has France become?

Germany's whore!

Where'd that idea come from?

From looking around me

Germany's whore, I tell you!

And so she is parked in Vichy hotels

There are no hangers

The bed's hard

lt'll all work out

What about you?

What'll you be doing here?

I'm to participate in the...

organizing of Vichy's new police force

There are no crooks in Vichy

No, but money's coming

Where money goes, crooks follow

Come here and stop griping

How I feel depends a lot on you

Is that so?

Why don't we just see what that bed's like?

Let's try it out...

Yes, I'd like a nap

I'm very sleepy

Marshal... we are here!

How dare you!

The exodus continues...

in cars, on bicycles, on foot...

fleeing German-held parts of France...

taken with little resistance

The German advance is amazing

By June 20th, German troops cover half of France...

with salients in all directions

Marshal P�tain decides to halt the combat...

that had never really begun

Vichy, the spa with enough hotels to provide needed space...

is chosen as France's new capital

On June 22nd, the armistice is signed

The French Army is disarmed and demobilized

France is divided into two zones...

an occupied zone and a free zone

The dividing line is Geneva-Chalons-Moulins-Tours

In small villages on the line of demarcation...

daily dramas occur

In orderto go to work...

papers must be shown

But it could be worse

These are the fortunes of war

And conquered France may yet benefit...

from Germany's reportedly interesting proposals

Talk about damn fools!

It's to stop kids coming out of the park

That's what I mean

Talk about damn fools... that beats all!

Your papers

Coming back tonight?

It's where we live

Biggest damn fools I ever saw

Still want to go to Vichy?

Money goes where money's hiding...

and right now, that's Vichy

Got an idea for crossing?

I got

Marcel Cerdan was his idea, too

Some of his ideas aren't so bad

Some of them are even good

They just cost a lot

Give me some money

What's he up to?

Look at the river!

Give me a real kiss

Give me a real kiss!

Got a bathing suit with you?

What did he say?

Something about bathing suits

The French!

The fasteryou go, the fasteryou dry

Step on it!

No brakes!

Brakes? I said to go faster!

You're the champ, okay?

I can't hearyou, speed up!

I've got no brakes!

Don't brake... accelerate!

Hurry up, you guys! Only 30 miles to go

France pays Germany 400 million francs a day

How do they get it there?

Switzerland, I tell you!

And that's where we should go

Let's get to Vichy first

Switzerland is it!

If Switzerland is so great...

why are all the crooks in Paris?

They're working for Lafont

Why aren't we working for him?

Forget about him!

Some day you'll be glad to remember him

Pierre Loutrel... very good

Gentlemen

"Dry-mouth"...

vicious but effective

Hi, Jo!

Jo the Corsican

Gentlemen

"The Mammoth"

How many is that?

About fifteen

Let me talk to them

What's up?

I'll explain

Are we in for it?

What're you doing here?

Just a second

Hi, Pierrot

As crazy as ever?

Riding the gravy train now?

You can ride it, too

The deal I'm offering you...

is what the Germans offered me

First... liberty

Second... money

Money and liberty...

two things the Resistance can't offeryou

Athird benefit I hope you'll appreciate

Starting now, if you accept...

you're clean

No more record

Total impunity

One last thing

I'm your boss

And my boss is the Gestapo Chief

The Germans have the power

Absolute power!

The more effective you are...

the more you will be free, rich...

and unpunished

That's all

It sounds good but how does it work?

Mr Bonny will explain

Denounce 100 Jews and you get...

to pull a hold-up with our protection

100 Communists... same thing

Go to it! The 100 Years War is over

And the Germans can't lose this one

Cures, baths and Marshal P�tain... I'm fed up!

Want to see a Jean Gabin movie?

Screw Gabin! What I want is...

to pull a big job

I tell you the big jobs...

are in Paris with Bonny and Lafont

Lay off me about Lafont!

Finding a way to sneak Jews into the Free Zone...

would pay off big

These days, just forget the word "Jew"

Don't you think so?

Those women really can't play!

It isn't possible to be that bad!

What do you know about music?

When I was so big, my mother had me learning piano

I've never seen you play

I'm too modest

If you could play, we'd know it

Want to play the piano?

Go ask the lady

I made a vow not to play till the war's over

That day, I'll play the Marseillaise

Are you getting drunk on Vichy water?

They're awful! Are they doing it on purpose?

With most of France on ration tickets today...

you sit here and sulk

I'm unhappy and your answer is ration tickets

Ration tickets for happiness?

It's hard to be a cop any time, but now in Vichy...!

Then be a Gaullist in London!

They can't help France!

"Good guys" who can't do any good!

History is happening elsewhere and without you

Within 90 days we won't be in Vichy

We'll be in Vittel?

I got my transferto Paris

And you didn't tell me!

I've contacted Pierre Bonny

Who's he?

Aformer police inspector...

now head of the French Gestapo

I thought you said it was some gangster

That's right

His name's Lafont, he and Bonny work together

Now can we change the subject?

You hearthose sour notes?

If you've lived in Paris it's hard to die in Vichy

You're right

We've got to find a way out of here

I got

I got

"Gabriel Fermier?"

Betterthan Simon Choulel?

I'm Jacques Fermier?

You stick together like brothers

How about you?

Our sister?

His wife

How'd you get these?

Some slow dances with one of Premier Laval's collaborator's

The check, please

Charge it to Room 240

Laval's room

Nothing happened!

Saved by the "belle!"

You do good work

Doesn't she?

I think she deserves a little kiss

Done! Another one?

Another one!

The line of demarcation

Passes and baggage will be inspected

Your papers, please

The same family

In that case...

I must ask you to leave the compartment a moment

A routine check

Not you, Father

Excuse me, Father...

but so many Jews dress as priests now

Please lift your cassock

Lift your cassock!

Faster, please

You won't see anything...

because when I was little...

I did peepee sideways so they operated

I know

Since 1939, many Jews do peepee sideways

Mr Fermier, I suppose you also do peepee sideways

We don't know what you're getting at...

but we do know Mr Lafont

Mr Henri Lafont of the Rue Lauriston, Paris

Who is this Lafont?

He's the...

the new director of the French Gestapo

I tried to tell you

He's a friend of my husband's...

and of his brother

The gentlemen are to think they seduced you

So no one ask for money!

No one... not even the guys

Mr Lafont will pay the bill

Wait here, I'll be right back

Mr Lafont, want to see the girls?

With pleasure

All right girls, line up

We'll take it up later

Bonny, come see the girls

Not very sexy

Don't worry, wait till tonight

- They need more... - They will have!

- They aren't shy? - Just the opposite

The gentlemen are very shy

Don't worry

Ladies, I'm counting on you

I'd rather not see you than see you like that

You... out of the question!

Jacques is here

Just in time

Can you do anything about those uniforms?

The King of the Tractions!

The King of the black market!

No one knows how to fake papers any more?

I guess not... Thanks for springing us

Nothing at all

That outfit... not bad!

Betterthan a cassock... right, Simon?

Let me introduce you to my wife... Lola

Good taste... Delighted!

Thanks for helping us

A pleasure

I'm giving a little party tonight

I'd like you to join us, if you can

Sure... right, Lola?

Is it formal?

Don't even know your sizes!

How about this war?

I don't know what to make of it

Are you kidding?

No, it's true

War is a time of peace for crooks!

Here... phony Havana but real Belgian

If you're interested, we can do business

Very good business

But first you have to know...

what they want from us

What do they want?

Simple! First, turn all soldiers into civilians

Second, turn all civilians into collaborators

Third, turn all collabos into Nazis

Simple... but you'd better explain

Mr Lafont... want to hearthe music?

I'll think it over... I'm not used to selling Jews

I've never done it

We're pulling a job tomorrow, come and see

You don't mind arresting Frenchmen?

In peacetime, Frenchmen arrest us

We have to be going

Thanks again for what you did for us

See you tomorrow

Till tomorrow perhaps?

Perhaps

No more cassocks, Simon

The difference between Hitler and his predecessors...

was his organization of gangsters throughout Europe...

more like a Mafia boss...

than a Head of State respecting certain rules

This Jewish family is arrested...

its property confiscated...

demonstrating how theft, robbery and...

the extermination of 6 million innocent creditors...

enabled Hitler, unaided, to finance...

the most costly war in history

Berlin

Rue Lauriston

Gestapo... they like marble

You mentioned some paintings?

Afteryou, please

You're seeing a very big haul

Understand how it works?

Servants and concierges have grudges to settle

Very pretty!

Who got us this job?

Corsican Jo and Mammoth

They're going to make a fortune

How does it open?

As a boxer, you'd have been disqualified

I think I'd have been World Champ

50% foryour gang on jobs you bring us

And 50% for me and my... associates

All concierges do it for ration tickets?

Not just concierges, these days

Don't just stick to concierges

Want something to eat?

I have two badly wounded men in my ambulance!

Help me get them on the Paris train

Don't you have any help?

You know how it is these days

What's this?

The Resistance!

Call those two clowns out there

The other one!

You get back to the truck!

But I won't see anything!

I never get to see anything

First, the ignition

Just keep going... Pour it on!

Only 30 minutes till the next train!

Smells good

The truck!

Looks like war

Since '39...

How about lending a hand?

What a haul!

Last night, resistants attacked a train in the North

This is the 753rd violation of the 1940 armistice

Approximately 30 terrorists...

savagely killed 5 German soldiers

They stole a boxcar containing war damages...

owed to Germany by France

English terrorists were involved

The stationmaster recognized British materiel

Occupation authorities have again warned Vichy

In reprisal, 50 hostages...

will be taken at random in nearby Laon

The hostages will be shot in 4 days...

if the resistants...

don't return the stolen property

I'm no resistant... I deserted in '39!

Are you a resistant?

Are you?

No, we're not resistants

You told the stationmaster...

The blabbermouth!

And there were five of us, not thirty

Five! They really are liars

Do I look like a resistant?

I'm a small-time crook, a gangster...

with no ideals, nothing

A small-time crook with no ideals...

but with 50 guys on your conscience

The stuff goes back!

Out of the question!

Screw their war! I want no part of it

It's got nothing to do with me

It's out of the question

Ladies and gentlemen

A regrettable incident obliges us to take certain precautions

I must ask the men in this church to follow us...

for a routine check

I ask you to facilitate my task

Follow me, please

It's not Romans or Lativol�

It's not the Appolinaire group

It's not the Sixth Destroyer group, either

Then gangsters did it

They're worse than the Gestapo!

In war or peace, private speculators screw everything up!

And the Resistance gets the blame

Maybe it's Bonny and Lafont

They're with the Gestapo, why should they risk it?

Locate the hostages... maybe we can help

Anything new?

Not one tip, not one lead

Isn't there one gangster among us...

who can tip us off?

Crooks are either with the Gestapo or with us

Afterthe war, I'll get those bastards!

The truck is there, now to see what's in it

Where is he?

Upstairs

Are they all here?

I hope so

Can we free the hostages?

Yes

Announce that I am offering a very large reward...

for information about these resistants

500 thousand?

A million

And let Mr Lafont know that has happened

He'd begun to suspect it was one of theirs

Fran�oise...

The hostages are to be released immediately

And have Lafont call me at Gestapo Headquarters

Yes, it's all settled

Two million

Two million...

Another bottle of your rot-gut wine

Not suffering too much from the restrictions?

Look, good samaritan... what about us?

What does that mean?

We didn't know about returning the stuff

Right

You'll get your share afterthe war

Screw that...

Screw you... Go to work for Lafont

Come on...

Take it easy, I'll play you a record

I bought it on the black market for 10 pounds of butter

It's worth it, you'll see

Does your 1900 model work?

Know why the Americans will win the war?

You don't know?

Because the krauts will never have music like that!

Listen...

Great, isn't it?

Care to dance, sir?

No slow dances for me

Can you imagine Hitler's Gang...

making music like that?

How'd it go?

Very well

Been enjoying yourselves while I risk my life?

What's wrong with you?

He'll explain...

What's with them?

I'll explain...

German Military Police! Open up...

Lola, the record! We're in the shit...

It is forbidden to listen to Radio London

It's just a record

Listening to American records is also forbidden

I'm sorry

Your establishment will be closed

It's already been closed

The bum does all right! He really can play...

You did the right thing, returning the paintings

Come to the Kommandaturtonight to get your record

Get married because you're pregnant! Are you nuts?

Haven't you heard? There's a price on my head!

And you want to post the banns!

Out in the country, in secret

What's the point?

Stop that... Why are you painting your stems?

Buy me some stockings

You've got real problems! Stockings... Mr Mayor...

You should have found yourself a bank clerk!

Bastard! Want to know something, little man?

You're scared because I'm going to have a kid!

Dumb broad!

Gigolo!

The gigolo says you're a pain in the ass!

Little jerk!

What are you knocking for? Come in...

Come in!

Where's your guy?

I haven't got a guy

You wearties now?

I give one to each customer

You give them suits, too?

You give them these, too?

I don't know anybody

You know how we make people talk?

I know

You're coming with us

Can I take my purse?

Come and see... quick!

What's up?

I don't know

Forget it! You'll be more useful here...

That's it...

Bye-bye 2 pals

Tell me where your guy is and we'll stop

My guy means more than my life

Where this elevator stops is really hell

You know you speak perfect French?

If you won't tell me, I'll have to send you to Lafont

He's still mad about the train

When your head is under water...

if you're ready to talk, just open your hands

Mr Deschamp, a telephone call foryou

Bring her up, stop everything

You took my wife, I've kidnapped yours

If you give mine back, I'll give yours back

If you mess up mine, I'll mess up yours

And if you kill my wife, I'll kill yours

I'll call tonight with the details

How is she?

Bad

She's in bad shape

Get her up to my office... quick!

Hurry! There's trouble...

I'm not sure... My wife may be a hostage

I'm sure it's a bluff... hurry!

Call my home and see if she's there

If she's not, call her parents

How is she?

Not good... pulse is weak

You've gotto fix her up

I don't love my husband any more

That's not a sin

For me it is

Why don't you love him any more?

I hate him

He disgusts me

He arrests Communists, Jews, resistants...

We'd better discuss this with...

your usual confessor, who's sick today

He'd be delighted if you'd say hello

He's sick...

Tuberculosis

He was fine last week

Tuberculosis works very, very fast...

Know how we found out you confessed regularly?

Your concierge

It cost us 101bs of butter and 2 quarts of oil

I apologize

It's all right

ljust talked to your husband on the phone

Don't worry, he's fine

Stop that, you're bothering the lady

It doesn't bother me at all

Oh? All right, go on...

Well it bothers me, so stop!

lt'll end badly

What time is it?

4 o'clock

Fix her up by tonight!

Not much chance

Mr Deschamp, your wife's parents...

They're downstairs

Have them come up

Send them up

Still as stand-offish?

I tried to break the ice a while ago...

I didn't do too well

If they rape my wife...

we'll both rape you

Don't you want to eat?

Go on...

There's plenty

Is it good?

But...

if they kill my wife...

I'll have to kill you

Some more wine?

Not mad, are you?

Of course not! We're all French...

You're not mad?

A little kiss...

Are you mad?

We both failed

Is it good?

A little kiss

He's crazy!

How about me?

A little kiss

You know...

I don't think he could kill your wife

Who?

My husband

Who does he work with?

He doesn't work alone

Could you kill me?

He could

Sure

Even if she dies, we use herforthe exchange

Make them believe she's alive, no matter what

A cop whose wife is kidnapped!

Some othertime!

Why not talk to Lafont? He has the power...

Lafont only looks out for his own interests

Your daughter's return runs counterto them

I don't agree with you

Lafont always adored Dominique

He courted her long enough

You tell me that now

Is she still alive?

Here's what we'll do

She's alive!

If she's dead, I won't hesitate

Is she alive?

Is she alive?

Is she alive or not?

She's alive... she's breathing

Don't move till we go

It's all right now

We'll see you at home

Yes... at home

They didn't torture you?

They were perfect gentlemen

What do you mean by that?

I mean they didn't return me in a coma

What's he look like?

He's short...

and bald

What's his name?

He changes name and address daily

Still want to marry a gigolo?

Ever see a gigolo marry an invalid?

You're going to see it

You know...

I think I lost the baby

I'll get every one of those bastards!

Hitler's Gang is going to hearfrom me

What's he look like?

An average Frenchman

Hi... How'd you find me?

You should have blindfolded me

Now what?

I want to cheat on my husband

You want to...? You middle-class dames!

Is this to get revenge on your husband...

or because you like me?

I don't know yet

When do we start?

Tonight, if you're free

Your husband lets you out at night?

He's trapping a Resistance leader, it'll take all night

What's this big shot look like?

Interested?

The train's packed, he'll be hard to spot...

Stay awake!

For all passengers arriving from Lyons...

there will be a check of ID cards...

passes and Ausweis...

by German police at the exit

Have your papers ready, please

Get on

Hide in a toilet

Tight squeeze

Toilets usually are

Either he was tipped off, or we missed him

Let's go...

Where we going?

The switching yard

A pal's waiting for us

To switch what?

Nothing

Whose pal... yours, or mine?

A pal

We go overthe wall when the train passes

Who are you?

I've got a score to settle with Hitler's Gang

I'm looking for partners

Watch out!

Tarzan!

What can you contribute?

Enthusiasm and first-hand information

Who says I'm in the Resistance?

You got back on the train

True

Who told you what I looked like and when I was due?

It's a bedtime story... I'll tell you in the car

I've got something foryou, Mr Berger

I'll take it right now

THE CONCIERGE IS UPSTAIRS

Don't take too many risks

The latest!

Better and better

He isn't too tired?

He may not last 15 rounds... she's got a punch!

THE CONCIERGE IS DOWNSTAIRS

Aren't you evertired?

There are the 50 planes...

Messerschmidts, I don't know

The fuel storage tanks are there

Anyway, so she says

I can't draw worth a damn, but...

Afterthe war, you'll get a medal

They can shove it...

Then why do this?

I told you: I've got a score to settle

Want a drink?

A short beer, yeah

There's only water

We'll have a drink afterthe war

What were you before?

Grease-monkey

Married?

What were you... a cop?

For4 weeks, all secrets passed on to you...

have turned into sabotage

Awkward coincidence

Know what Lafont said to me?

Watch out forthis Bruno...

If the tide turns, he'll defend France

I've always defended France...

and I've never betrayed you

You must admit that, these days...

it's difficult to reconcile the two

Very difficult

I'll order an investigation in my section

And I'll conduct one outside your section

This is the right place

I don't think I need to introduce you

Madame, there are two solutions

Either I phone your husband...

or else...

Who was the information for?

You won't tell me?

In 3 minutes, that man will be dead...

unless you tell me who he works for

It's my husband

Your husband... what?

My husband was informing the Resistance

He's been working forthem since 1942

You sent for me?

Sit down

I have something important to say

I'm listening

Bruno, this isn't easy for me to say...

The last ones!

Feeling better?

Well?

Well... I don't know

He's not at any of the usual places

It's the Resistance... we never see him

Because of you, he wants to rub out Hitler's Gang

Sure, blame it on Hitler's Gang

The good old days...

He's cheating on me

I know he's cheating on me!

What are you talking about?

Lately, his shirts smell funny

Mine, too! It's the lousy laundry soaps...

No... smell!

I don't smell anything

Wait! There...

Do you smell it?

I don't smell anything

You don't...?

Tell me...

What do you want me to tell you?

Everything

But I don't know anything

Yes you do!

Tell me everything

All right, listen...

To begin with...

rememberthat everything he's done...

is for France

What?

Yes

I never betrayed... I never was a resistant

Since 1942, according to your wife

But you know me

Very well! For 2 years I've seen you be...

a patriot and a collaborator,

so why not a double agent?

She's protecting her lover by accusing me

That's what I must find out

This will help us save time...

I'll bring your wife in... if she's the traitor, kill her

Don't traitors deserve to die?

Afterward we'll say it was a murder of passion

On the other hand, if you are the traitor...

I trust you will be elegant enough to commit suicide

Afterward we'll say it was a suicide of passion

Please repeat, before your husband, what you told me

My husband has been in the Resistance since 1942

He's been passing information since then

Dominique, it's not true!

It is true

I'll go crazy

Now I know

Only a resistant could make such a sacrifice!

Who were you passing the information to?

I'm not in the Resistance

Well?

Hello

Well?

Everything's okay

It's not true, I saw yourface outside

My face is thirsty, that's what you saw

You swear it?

I swear it... everything's okay

On my head?

On your head

Anyway, Jews don't swear...

Yes they do! More than anybody...

Look at what I brought you

An American record from London parachuted just for Lola

You swear everything's okay?

I re-swear it

No... the other hand

I swearthat everything's okay and that he's okay

Who's the record by?

I don't know, but it's American

America must be a great place...

The Americans have landed...

in Normandy!

Yours is betterthan mine

My compliments, sir...

I congratulate you, Madame

Very simply, in the name of the Provisional Government...

the National Resistance Council...

and the Parisian Liberation Committee...

you are appointed second deputy to the Prefect of Police of Paris

This appointment gives me great pleasure

I will use it to fight the usual post-war danger...

an increase in gangsterism

A Suze, a Ricard, a Dubonnet, a Martini...

Still love me as much as ever?

Did you love her?

A little...

Just a little

And what became of him?

She said he was a dirty collabo, others say no

And her?

I heard she was deported

I know, yours is betterthan mine...

You didn't say what became of him

I don't know! He's been chasing me for 10 years...

but I don't know what he looks like

I do! I'd recognize him...

even at a masked ball!

Now that you've got a real medal...

how about finding a real job?

I've been trying, you know

Medals don't impress anyone very much

Little kiss?

Another?

Oh, yes! Gladly...

Can I try it out?

Watch out... "If you try it, you'll buy it!"

Is that so?

A hold-up at Cartier's?

The Traction Gang?

I'm on my way...

The story of the Traction Gang...

really begins here

Maybe some day we'll tell it
