18
00:02:37,208 --> 00:02:39,290
<i>Paul Kerjean.
Who's calling?</i>

19
00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:41,619
<i>My name is of no importance.</i>

20
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:12,865
Stay there.

21
00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:16,200
Stay there while we talk.

22
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:19,492
I'm too old to play Fantomas.

23
00:03:20,125 --> 00:03:22,287
Stop being smart, Kerjean.

24
00:03:22,458 --> 00:03:25,701
I have to be careful.
You'll understand when I explain.

25
00:03:26,042 --> 00:03:27,407
I'm listening.

26
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,575
What do you know
about Jacques Benoit-Lambert?

27
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:33,495
I thought you were giving me
information.

28
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:35,324
Don't annoy me, answer.

29
00:03:36,833 --> 00:03:37,823
Alright.

30
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:41,405
He's elegant, rich,
from a wealthy family,

31
00:03:41,792 --> 00:03:43,749
and a political superstar.

32
00:03:44,083 --> 00:03:46,996
Favourite sports: golf and swimming.

33
00:03:47,292 --> 00:03:48,282
Is that enough?

34
00:03:48,542 --> 00:03:53,161
If that's all you know, it's not much
and it's not quite true.

35
00:03:56,042 --> 00:03:57,203
What's not true?

36
00:03:57,625 --> 00:04:00,117
You said he was from a wealthy family
and rich.

37
00:04:00,458 --> 00:04:03,905
- His family's not wealthy?
- It is. But he's not rich.

38
00:04:04,208 --> 00:04:05,698
Not anymore.

39
00:04:05,958 --> 00:04:08,871
He needs 750 million
before the end of the year.

40
00:04:09,042 --> 00:04:10,532
He's a desperate man.

41
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:12,703
You mean he's ruined?

42
00:04:13,083 --> 00:04:17,748
I said he needed 750 million,
not that he hadn't found it.

43
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,786
How did he find so much money?

44
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,241
That will be the subject
of our second meeting.

45
00:04:25,625 --> 00:04:29,198
I haven't had so much fun
Since my 7th birthday party.

46
00:04:29,375 --> 00:04:32,493
Wait 5 minutes before leaving.
I don't want to be followed.

47
00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:35,204
If I see you following me,
it will be over.

48
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:38,582
Why are you giving me
this information?

49
00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:40,707
Because I adore you.

50
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:26,615
Ba yen,

51
00:05:27,167 --> 00:05:30,000
are we still on good terms
with the police?

52
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:34,115
We get along fine,
no more, no less.

53
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:36,078
Why? Are you in trouble?

54
00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:41,328
No, not at all. I want the name
and address of the owner of this car.

55
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,038
I'll do the necessary.
An accident?

56
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:52,493
No. A mysterious informer.

57
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,447
He arranged to meet in a parking lot
to make some revelations.

58
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,207
Revelations? About who?

59
00:06:00,417 --> 00:06:02,283
A big shot.

60
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:04,365
A real big shot.

61
00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:05,828
MR ELECTRONICS

62
00:06:09,250 --> 00:06:10,285
Jacques Benoit-Lambert?

63
00:06:11,292 --> 00:06:12,782
Yes, JBL himself.

64
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,958
He's unassailable.
On all levels.

65
00:06:16,208 --> 00:06:18,495
Your informer is crazy.

66
00:06:19,375 --> 00:06:20,865
That's very possible.

67
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:35,287
<i>Jacques Benoit-Lambert
France's Mr Electronics</i>

68
00:06:36,458 --> 00:06:39,041
<i>AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION
Economic recovery France Electronics</i>

69
00:06:50,792 --> 00:06:51,998
I'll call you back.

70
00:06:52,625 --> 00:06:55,242
Hello, my little Arléne.
How's your love life,

71
00:06:55,458 --> 00:06:57,574
your family, work, life in general?

72
00:06:58,083 --> 00:07:00,040
Sure you're alright, Paul?

73
00:07:00,542 --> 00:07:04,080
You're ingratitude personified.

74
00:07:04,333 --> 00:07:06,165
I just want to know how you are.

75
00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:09,530
Listen, kid,
lovers are a thing of the past,

76
00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:11,870
I've no family
and I'm sick of work!

77
00:07:12,875 --> 00:07:14,081
Do you know him?

78
00:07:15,042 --> 00:07:16,203
Yes. It's JBL.

79
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:20,914
Tell me about him.
Loves or lovers, of course.

80
00:07:21,792 --> 00:07:24,910
He's lived with the same woman
for 5 years. She's called...

81
00:07:25,083 --> 00:07:26,619
Laura Weber.

82
00:07:27,458 --> 00:07:29,745
No photos.
We've never caught them together.

83
00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:32,375
Apparently, she's in her thirties,

84
00:07:32,583 --> 00:07:36,076
beautiful, intelligent,
single, Classy.

85
00:07:37,042 --> 00:07:39,830
Makes a change from his drunken wife!

86
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:41,490
On the other hand,

87
00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:45,576
I've as many photos of her
as you want.

88
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:47,665
Officially, he's still married?

89
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:51,868
Yes, but they're separated.
She refuses to divorce him.

90
00:07:52,417 --> 00:07:55,205
At the last reception
at the US Embassy she got drunk.

91
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:59,744
He wanted her to leave,
She got angry, made a scandal...

92
00:08:00,750 --> 00:08:02,366
Just another incident.

93
00:08:02,542 --> 00:08:04,624
Ah! Distinguishing feature:

94
00:08:04,792 --> 00:08:07,955
a huge personal fortune.

95
00:08:08,667 --> 00:08:11,034
<i>It's the gentleman
you were expecting, madam.</i>

96
00:08:13,917 --> 00:08:15,624
Come in, sir.

97
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:20,163
- What's your name again?
- Paul Kerjean, madam.

98
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,582
Thank you for receiving me.

99
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:24,957
Sit there, so I can see you.

100
00:08:29,833 --> 00:08:31,119
No. There.

101
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:33,832
You're hidden behind the flowers.

102
00:08:42,542 --> 00:08:44,579
Have a drink.
Help yourself.

103
00:08:49,292 --> 00:08:51,158
You look charming, Mr Kerjean.

104
00:08:55,667 --> 00:08:57,999
It's very kind to come and see me.

105
00:09:00,458 --> 00:09:01,619
I'm so alone

106
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:04,369
in this big house.

107
00:09:06,792 --> 00:09:09,204
No one bothers about me.

108
00:09:12,417 --> 00:09:15,159
Having no one to talk to
is difficult, you know.

109
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:16,994
I understand, madam.

110
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,288
I imagine that you know
that my husband and I...

111
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:26,583
well, we've been separated
for a while.

112
00:09:27,375 --> 00:09:30,993
My husband and I have
been the subject of gossip recently.

113
00:09:31,417 --> 00:09:33,283
I'm aware of that, madam.

114
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:35,573
No, no...

115
00:09:37,042 --> 00:09:38,908
I prefer to serve myself.

116
00:09:39,083 --> 00:09:43,623
Believe me, gossip
isn't what interests my newspaper.

117
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,078
Yes, I know.

118
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:51,368
That's the reason
I agreed to meet you.

119
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:57,125
You're very charming, Mr Kerjean.

120
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,708
You must know
that my husband lives with a...

121
00:10:01,917 --> 00:10:02,952
a...

122
00:10:04,625 --> 00:10:05,615
Well...

123
00:10:06,208 --> 00:10:10,281
that sordid little adventure
has surely nothing to do with...

124
00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:11,619
what you wanted to discuss.

125
00:10:11,917 --> 00:10:13,578
Nothing at all, madam.

126
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:15,366
I'm writing about your husband,

127
00:10:15,542 --> 00:10:18,660
and I thought no one
could know him better than you.

128
00:10:19,292 --> 00:10:20,498
Isn't that true?

129
00:10:21,542 --> 00:10:22,657
It certainly is.

130
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:31,076
We married in October '41.

131
00:10:32,542 --> 00:10:33,873
During the war.

132
00:10:35,542 --> 00:10:38,409
He'd just finished his law studies.

133
00:10:40,042 --> 00:10:42,283
He joined the Free French Forces.

134
00:10:44,667 --> 00:10:47,329
I went to join him in London.

135
00:10:50,208 --> 00:10:51,414
But...

136
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,198
we saw little of each other
before the Liberation.

137
00:11:06,125 --> 00:11:07,115
And...

138
00:11:07,875 --> 00:11:09,286
After the war?

139
00:11:10,875 --> 00:11:11,865
Oh, yes.

140
00:11:12,125 --> 00:11:13,536
After the war.

141
00:11:15,583 --> 00:11:18,200
We went to live in the provinces,

142
00:11:18,417 --> 00:11:19,498
in Rouen.

143
00:11:21,208 --> 00:11:24,530
He had a law firm
that was very successful.

144
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,994
Then he stood
for the parliamentary elections.

145
00:11:31,542 --> 00:11:33,078
He was elected.

146
00:11:34,083 --> 00:11:36,040
It was the start of his success.

147
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:40,197
A total success thanks to
his exceptional intelligence,

148
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:43,538
uncontested skill and charm

149
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:45,824
and professional competency.

150
00:11:48,042 --> 00:11:51,831
Although apparently, recently,
he's had financial problems.

151
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:54,491
That's no doubt jealous gossip.

152
00:12:03,667 --> 00:12:07,490
Has he had
any financial problems recently?

153
00:12:09,208 --> 00:12:11,916
You should ask him that.

154
00:12:12,875 --> 00:12:15,742
I only know
that he reduced my allowance.

155
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:19,034
I have my own personal fortune,

156
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:21,332
but it's not for everyday expenses.

157
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:23,241
- Right?
- Of course.

158
00:12:25,208 --> 00:12:29,031
When you were together, did
your husband talk about his work?

159
00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:30,657
No.

160
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,073
No.

161
00:12:33,125 --> 00:12:34,991
He took no interest in me.

162
00:12:36,833 --> 00:12:39,996
He just showed me off
for photos.

163
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,992
For the elections, for example.

164
00:12:43,958 --> 00:12:48,657
Or when he needed to take a wife
to an official event.

165
00:12:49,083 --> 00:12:50,494
And...

166
00:12:51,042 --> 00:12:52,373
one day...

167
00:12:53,333 --> 00:12:54,949
one day, he...

168
00:12:56,292 --> 00:12:58,579
he left me alone forever.

169
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:05,452
And there were his mysterious trips

170
00:13:06,167 --> 00:13:08,454
to see mysterious men.

171
00:13:08,917 --> 00:13:11,079
What trips?
What men?

172
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:13,874
I don't know.

173
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:18,281
If I did, they wouldn't
be mysterious, would they?

174
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:22,117
Obviously, I didn't follow him.

175
00:13:22,875 --> 00:13:24,161
And these trips

176
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:27,572
and mysterious men
weren't called Miss Laura Weber?

177
00:13:28,542 --> 00:13:29,532
No.

178
00:13:33,083 --> 00:13:34,665
Not exclusively.

179
00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:37,537
How did you know?
You didn't follow your husband.

180
00:13:38,042 --> 00:13:42,912
Your questions are becoming
more and more personal.

181
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:45,996
- Madam...
- I didn't follow my husband!

182
00:13:46,167 --> 00:13:50,286
I didn't think for a moment that
a woman of your Class and standing

183
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:54,786
would sink so low as to follow
her husband at night.

184
00:13:55,667 --> 00:13:58,989
I thought, maybe a private detective?

185
00:13:59,833 --> 00:14:03,872
In such a terrible situation,
I would find that normal.

186
00:14:06,458 --> 00:14:08,165
- Really?
- Definitely.

187
00:14:14,208 --> 00:14:16,666
I shouldn't reveal
all my little secrets,

188
00:14:17,083 --> 00:14:19,541
but you're so nice,

189
00:14:19,708 --> 00:14:21,324
so understanding...

190
00:14:31,042 --> 00:14:33,283
I think it's time for you to leave.

191
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:36,953
Good evening, sir.

192
00:14:42,917 --> 00:14:47,081
Please excuse me
for not seeing you out.

193
00:14:55,583 --> 00:14:56,948
Forget everything I said.

194
00:14:59,292 --> 00:15:01,408
It was between you and me.

195
00:15:36,458 --> 00:15:38,165
<i>WALTER AGENCY
PRIVATE DETECTIVE</i>

196
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:46,164
Mr Walter, you were recommended
by Mrs Benoit-Lambert.

197
00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:50,076
If I understand rightly,
you followed her husband.

198
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:51,991
At night, in particular.

199
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:54,198
It's possible.

200
00:15:54,958 --> 00:15:56,949
She told me you took photographs.

201
00:15:57,917 --> 00:15:58,907
It's possible.

202
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:02,750
Can you tell me
when the photos were taken?

203
00:16:03,458 --> 00:16:05,620
I didn't say I took photos.

204
00:16:06,125 --> 00:16:07,866
I said it was possible.

205
00:16:08,375 --> 00:16:09,490
Of course.

206
00:16:10,458 --> 00:16:15,453
Someone else must have printed
your name on the back of the photos.

207
00:16:17,333 --> 00:16:20,200
Listen, what do you want exactly?

208
00:16:20,875 --> 00:16:21,956
To see the photos.

209
00:16:22,208 --> 00:16:23,664
I hope you're joking.

210
00:16:23,917 --> 00:16:27,410
Not at all. I know your fees.
I've prepared a cheque.

211
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:29,783
You've already been paid
for this.

212
00:17:05,292 --> 00:17:07,033
When were these photos taken?

213
00:17:07,375 --> 00:17:10,913
Over the last 2 months.

214
00:17:11,875 --> 00:17:15,664
I was in my car
and used a zoom.

215
00:17:16,042 --> 00:17:17,373
Not bad, are they?

216
00:17:22,417 --> 00:17:25,739
On these negatives,
JBL isn't with his mistress,

217
00:17:26,167 --> 00:17:28,704
but with strangers.
Who are these men?

218
00:17:28,917 --> 00:17:30,999
I've no idea.

219
00:17:31,792 --> 00:17:35,740
Mrs Benoit-Lambert
wanted evidence for her divorce.

220
00:17:36,583 --> 00:17:40,531
I wasn't interested in anything else,
so I didn't develop them.

221
00:17:41,083 --> 00:17:43,120
So why did you take these photos?

222
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:46,618
To prove to my client
that I was working.

223
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,035
Why?

224
00:17:48,208 --> 00:17:49,824
Do people wonder?

225
00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:52,081
Sometimes.

226
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:56,490
Right...

227
00:17:56,750 --> 00:18:00,368
I'd like to borrow these negatives
for 24 hours. I'll return them.

228
00:18:00,542 --> 00:18:01,623
Why?

229
00:18:01,792 --> 00:18:03,078
For my own album.

230
00:18:03,417 --> 00:18:05,158
That's not possible.

231
00:18:06,083 --> 00:18:10,247
I only give my photos
to the Clients who hired me.

232
00:18:10,667 --> 00:18:13,455
The photos belong in the file.

233
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:16,207
It's quite simple.
I'm your client.

234
00:18:16,375 --> 00:18:20,289
I hired you to follow
Mr Benoit-Lambert and to take photos.

235
00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:23,242
I'm delighted with your work.
I paid. I'll take my file.

236
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:25,124
That's perfect.

237
00:19:02,625 --> 00:19:05,242
<i>Your request:

238
00:19:15,708 --> 00:19:16,994
Hello, sir.

239
00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:20,075
That car is not for sale.

240
00:19:21,167 --> 00:19:24,330
Hello, madam.
Is Mr Bronsky here?

241
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:26,453
I am Mrs Bronsky.

Who are you?

243
00:19:29,417 --> 00:19:31,749
I'm Paul Kerjean.
I'm a reporter.

244
00:19:32,125 --> 00:19:33,991
I've come about an investigation.

245
00:19:34,792 --> 00:19:37,159
I'm sure you've got
the wrong address.

246
00:19:37,333 --> 00:19:40,780
I don't think so, madam.
I'd like to see Mr Bronsky.

247
00:19:41,333 --> 00:19:44,780
<i>Mrs Bronsky assured me that the car

248
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:48,201
<i>had not been used for several weeks.</i>

00:19:48,625 --> 00:19:49,865
<i>As for her husband,</i>

250
00:19:50,125 --> 00:19:53,789
<i>he lived in America.

Alright?

259
00:20:27,625 --> 00:20:28,786
I'm fine.

260
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:31,082
How's Bastien?

261
00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:33,370
He had a sore throat,
but he's fine.

262
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:34,911
You're having him on Saturday?

263
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:37,784
Listen... at the moment...

264
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,162
Can you keep him this weekend?

265
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:43,911
I'm working on a big case.

266
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,242
- A big scandal in View?
- Yes.

267
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:49,664
If all goes well.

268
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,286
If all goes well for who?

269
00:20:53,667 --> 00:20:55,999
You, your readers,

270
00:20:56,167 --> 00:20:57,783
the scandal?

271
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:02,747
Poor Jean, you spend your life
looking for a Dreyfus Affair.

272
00:21:03,208 --> 00:21:06,041
But not everyone
is as lucky as Zola.

273
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:11,201
Running after Dreyfus,
you encounter Mesrine.

274
00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:14,079
Héléne, don't start.

275
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:17,413
Our marriage failed,
let's make our divorce a success.

276
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,333
- Telephone for Mr Kerjean.
- Yes.

277
00:21:27,875 --> 00:21:28,865

<i>- Paul Kerjean?</i>

<i>I thought I'd explained the rules

280
00:21:34,083 --> 00:21:35,699
I've changed the rules.

I refuse to be a puppet

283
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:45,490
<i>Alright.</i>

284
00:21:46,458 --> 00:21:48,449
<i>I'll accept, this time.</i>

<i>Sit facing the bar,</i>

289
00:21:59,292 --> 00:22:02,080
<i>with your back against the seat.
Understand?</i>

290
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:14,538
Don't ever turn around
While we're talking.

291
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,166
Why did you want to meet?
Keep it short.

292
00:22:18,208 --> 00:22:20,449
I will. I've had enough
of this mystery,

293
00:22:20,625 --> 00:22:22,582
meetings at night
and hidden faces.

294
00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:26,698
I don't know why, but you want
my paper to bring down JBL.

295
00:22:26,875 --> 00:22:31,824
I won't publish an article Without
real proof of your accusations.

296
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,241
I want to know who you are,
who I'm working with

297
00:22:34,417 --> 00:22:36,158
and your sources.

298
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,866
If you won't accept, forget it.

299
00:22:39,208 --> 00:22:41,996
Kerjean, deep down,

300
00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:46,827
you know this is explosive
but don't know how to handle it.

301
00:22:47,292 --> 00:22:49,784
You're annoyed
because you're at a standstill.

302
00:22:49,958 --> 00:22:52,370
You can't handle this investigation.

303
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:55,458
Find someone else, then.
Goodbye!

304
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,453
Listen, Kerjean,

305
00:23:01,542 --> 00:23:03,203
two weeks ago,
I contacted you.

306
00:23:03,583 --> 00:23:06,996
What have you learned
about Benoit-Lambert?

307
00:23:07,833 --> 00:23:11,121
He's respectable and respected,
of unquestionable integrity,

308
00:23:11,292 --> 00:23:14,489
transparent bank accounts.
Love life... acceptable.

309
00:23:14,875 --> 00:23:17,333
That's his public side.

310
00:23:17,958 --> 00:23:19,915
I said he was
in dire straits financially.

311
00:23:20,083 --> 00:23:22,666
That he needed 750 million
and had found it.

312
00:23:23,583 --> 00:23:25,620
Have you heard of SCOVIM?

313
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:30,073
It's a real-estate company, headed
by Benoit-Lambert's son-in-law.

314
00:23:30,250 --> 00:23:31,411
What's the link?

315
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:36,618
SCOVIM built
two 15-storey office towers.

316
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:41,531
For 2 years, it's been impossible
to rent or sell the offices.

317
00:23:41,792 --> 00:23:44,124
The banks have Closed
the credit valves.

318
00:23:44,458 --> 00:23:47,120
They have to reimburse 750 million
at the end of the year,

319
00:23:47,292 --> 00:23:48,782
but they can't.

320
00:23:48,958 --> 00:23:51,370
They'll declare bankruptcy.
Suddenly.

321
00:23:51,667 --> 00:23:53,123
On the eve of bankruptcy,

322
00:23:53,292 --> 00:23:57,240
miraculous buyers will pay
1 billion, 750 million

323
00:23:57,417 --> 00:23:59,203
for the 2 buildings
that can't be sold,

324
00:23:59,375 --> 00:24:02,743
saving SCOVIM
and it'll make a nice profit as well.

325
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:04,240
And?

326
00:24:04,958 --> 00:24:06,915
Are you doing this on purpose?

327
00:24:08,917 --> 00:24:12,535
That proves that the CEO of SCOVIM
is remarkable

328
00:24:13,083 --> 00:24:15,666
and that Benoit-Lambert
has the right son-in-law.

329
00:24:15,833 --> 00:24:18,416
The CEO of SCOVIM
is not a remarkable man,

330
00:24:18,667 --> 00:24:21,830
he's a pretentious,
incapable little technocrat.

331
00:24:22,083 --> 00:24:26,998
So the buyers help out SCOVIM
and save it at the last minute.

332
00:24:27,167 --> 00:24:29,283
They don't give a damn
about SCOVIM.

333
00:24:29,792 --> 00:24:32,705
They're using SCOVIM
to get to Benoit-Lambert.

334
00:24:32,875 --> 00:24:36,163
In that hand,
there was 1 billion, 750 million.

335
00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:38,950
That is not a purchase,
it's a bribe.

336
00:24:39,208 --> 00:24:40,790
A bribe for what?

337
00:24:40,958 --> 00:24:42,915
I'm not the reporter.

338
00:24:43,083 --> 00:24:45,370
I've put you on the path,
now investigate.

339
00:24:45,542 --> 00:24:48,455
No one pays almost 2 billion
out of sheer kindness.

340
00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:55,458
Why not use legal means
to denounce this affair?

341
00:24:55,792 --> 00:24:57,578
For a very simple reason.

342
00:24:58,125 --> 00:25:00,036
Benoit-Lambert has powerful friends.

343
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:02,950
I don't want the affair
to be covered up.

344
00:25:05,583 --> 00:25:08,416
If necessary,
What is your direct number?

345
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:39,080
How long have you been working
on this, Kerjean?

346
00:25:41,167 --> 00:25:43,784
- 3 months.
- Why didn't you tell me?

347
00:25:46,875 --> 00:25:49,116
I wanted to present
something watertight,

348
00:25:49,292 --> 00:25:52,159
with proven facts, not accusations
based on gossip.

349
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:56,452
I don't like you investigating
an explosive case without my consent.

350
00:25:57,875 --> 00:26:01,539
It only became explosive
a few hours ago, Mr Hartmann.

351
00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:03,494
Before, I was at a dead end.

352
00:26:03,667 --> 00:26:04,998
What came up?

353
00:26:06,125 --> 00:26:09,789
I knew that a miraculous buyer
had paid 1 billion, 750 million

354
00:26:09,958 --> 00:26:12,450
to save SCOVIM from bankruptcy.

355
00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:15,617
And, indirectly,
Jacques Benoit-Lambert.

356
00:26:16,583 --> 00:26:17,914
This evening,

357
00:26:18,292 --> 00:26:20,954
I found out who was behind the buyer.

358
00:26:22,458 --> 00:26:25,120
The multinational G.T.I.

359
00:26:26,542 --> 00:26:30,911
And, of course, this revelation
came from a reliable source.

360
00:26:31,083 --> 00:26:34,326
I can't say my sources
are the best,

361
00:26:35,208 --> 00:26:37,495
but the information is indisputable.

362
00:26:39,417 --> 00:26:41,658
It all started
in the most ordinary way.

363
00:26:42,375 --> 00:26:46,289
Benoit-Lambert and his mistress
were followed by a private detective,

364
00:26:46,458 --> 00:26:48,449
hired by Mrs Benoit-Lambert.

365
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:51,040
Classic photos,

366
00:26:51,542 --> 00:26:53,249
the vengeance of a jealous wife,

367
00:26:53,417 --> 00:26:56,580
who wants the divorce case
to rule in her favour.

368
00:27:00,042 --> 00:27:03,034
But JBL goes out
without his mistress.

369
00:27:05,292 --> 00:27:07,374
To meet other people.

370
00:27:07,667 --> 00:27:09,453
This man, for example.

371
00:27:10,625 --> 00:27:14,539
To justify his salary, the detective
kept taking photos

372
00:27:15,083 --> 00:27:17,120
of no value for the divorce case.

373
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:20,413
I obtained the negatives
he hadn't developed.

374
00:27:20,667 --> 00:27:23,500
Our photo department
has just developed them.

375
00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:26,366
Do you know this man?

376
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:28,490
Yes.

377
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:32,744
3 months ago,

378
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:36,581
you sent me to Brussels
for the G.T.I. convention. Remember?

379
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:38,573
That's right.

380
00:27:38,917 --> 00:27:43,912
We even joked about what time
you were invited. It was 4 am.

381
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:45,365
That's right.

382
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:50,660
I arrived at the Hotel de la Cite
at 4 in the morning,

383
00:27:52,167 --> 00:27:54,124
and I was met by this man.

384
00:27:54,792 --> 00:27:57,329
Fred Gritt.
Delighted to welcome you, Mr Kerjean.

385
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:59,616
Thank you for accepting
our invitation.

386
00:27:59,792 --> 00:28:01,282
It's only normal.

387
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:08,414
Since I have been head
of public relations at G.T.I.,

388
00:28:08,792 --> 00:28:11,705
you're the only reporter invited
to our annual convention.

389
00:28:12,375 --> 00:28:15,493
I'm very flattered
by this exceptional invitation,

390
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:16,865
but...

391
00:28:18,292 --> 00:28:20,033
Why 4 am?

392
00:28:20,208 --> 00:28:22,666
It's only 9 pm for G.T.I.

393
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,241
Our president travels a lot.

394
00:28:25,417 --> 00:28:29,456
On Monday he was in Hong Kong,
Wednesday in Bombay,

395
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,786
Thursday afternoon, in Moscow,

396
00:28:32,292 --> 00:28:35,250
Friday, he headed a meeting
in New York, today, he's here.

397
00:28:35,667 --> 00:28:39,535
No human body can resist
so much jet lag all year long.

398
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:41,949
So the company decided to forego
local times

399
00:28:42,167 --> 00:28:44,784
and everything is based
on New York time.

400
00:28:44,958 --> 00:28:48,405
It is presently 9 pm in New York.

401
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:49,657
Really?

402
00:28:50,167 --> 00:28:53,910
When he arrives somewhere,
breakfast is eaten at suppertime

403
00:28:54,083 --> 00:28:57,246
and bedtime is at 3 pm.

404
00:28:57,417 --> 00:28:59,784
That's about right.
It's a question of habit.

405
00:28:59,958 --> 00:29:01,869
Our watches are set
to New York time.

406
00:29:02,042 --> 00:29:05,330
It's much easier when we have to call
our headquarters.

407
00:29:23,792 --> 00:29:25,908
The president will speak
in about 15 minutes'.

408
00:29:26,083 --> 00:29:27,539
It's always very brief.

409
00:29:27,708 --> 00:29:29,745
I will introduce you afterwards.

410
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:37,366
Vittorio Horta.

411
00:29:38,667 --> 00:29:41,034
Michel Saint-Claude, G.T.I. Europe.

412
00:29:43,708 --> 00:29:45,745
What are you drinking, Mr Kerjean?

413
00:29:47,417 --> 00:29:49,784
I'm torn between a large whiskey

414
00:29:49,958 --> 00:29:52,245
or hot white coffee
with a croissant.

415
00:29:54,458 --> 00:29:57,450
Here is the most important photo.

416
00:30:06,542 --> 00:30:07,748
JBL

417
00:30:08,208 --> 00:30:10,370
met - somewhere -

418
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,583
the president of G.T.I.

419
00:30:15,875 --> 00:30:19,243
A formidable brain
and a fearsome businessman.

420
00:30:19,458 --> 00:30:23,122
He managed to create patriotism
for his company.

421
00:30:24,625 --> 00:30:26,741
That evening, at the convention,

422
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:29,578
I heard his speech.

423
00:34:11,292 --> 00:34:14,000
His handshake was as cold as steel.

424
00:34:14,792 --> 00:34:17,284
But this handshake

425
00:34:18,625 --> 00:34:21,617
is worth 1 billion, 750 million.

426
00:34:22,333 --> 00:34:23,915
Everything came together,

427
00:34:24,250 --> 00:34:26,617
Jacques Benoit-Lambert
has family and financial ties

428
00:34:26,792 --> 00:34:30,080
With the company SCOVIM
which is in difficulty,

429
00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:34,244
but JBL is also the honest
and uncompromising president

430
00:34:34,417 --> 00:34:35,999
of French Electronics.

431
00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:40,448
Unfortunately, you cannot
receive almost 2 billion

432
00:34:41,208 --> 00:34:44,906
and remain uncompromising.

433
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:46,873
Of course.

434
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,583
You can't tell G.T.I.
you'd like their millions

435
00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:52,957
but ask them not to interfere
in your business.

436
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,913
It's a little convenient
to blame multinationals

437
00:34:56,083 --> 00:34:58,791
for all the economic problems
in the world.

438
00:34:59,708 --> 00:35:01,198
Why are you smiling?

439
00:35:02,917 --> 00:35:04,908
Because that night,
at the convention,

440
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,572
the president of G.T.I.
said exactly the same thing.

441
00:35:12,875 --> 00:35:14,240
So, Mr Kerjean,

442
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:18,789
is your paper one of those who think
that companies like G.T.I.

443
00:35:18,958 --> 00:35:21,666
are responsible
for Europe's misfortunes?

444
00:35:23,583 --> 00:35:25,699
That's what economists say.

445
00:35:25,875 --> 00:35:29,664
They write complicated books,
read only by other economists.

446
00:35:29,833 --> 00:35:31,369
That's as far as it goes.

447
00:35:32,417 --> 00:35:35,705
And you, Mr Kerjean,
do you read those books?

448
00:35:37,417 --> 00:35:39,033
I've read some of them.

449
00:35:39,542 --> 00:35:41,909
I didn't understand everything,
there are so many graphs,

450
00:35:42,083 --> 00:35:44,825
growth and investment Charts,

451
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,911
market penetration.

452
00:35:49,083 --> 00:35:53,907
I recall three or four figures
that fascinated me.

453
00:35:55,375 --> 00:35:59,073
Apparently, today, in the world,
excluding the socialist countries,

454
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:01,616
thirty companies,
including yours,

455
00:36:01,792 --> 00:36:05,831
total an annual turnover
of a thousand billion dollars.

456
00:36:06,792 --> 00:36:07,907
And?

457
00:36:10,542 --> 00:36:15,366
And such immense power
in the hands of so few

458
00:36:16,042 --> 00:36:17,498
is frightening.

459
00:36:18,208 --> 00:36:20,165
A thousand billion dollars.

460
00:36:20,458 --> 00:36:23,325
It's one and a half times the GDP
of France.

461
00:36:24,667 --> 00:36:27,500
A third of the wealth generated
annually in the USA.

462
00:36:28,042 --> 00:36:29,908
A thousand billion dollars is...

463
00:36:30,083 --> 00:36:32,871
10% of the wealth
generated annually in the world,

464
00:36:33,042 --> 00:36:34,328
for a club of 30 people.

465
00:36:34,875 --> 00:36:36,536
Why are you complaining?

466
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:39,458
90% remains for the others.

467
00:36:41,542 --> 00:36:46,161
Not really, because if we increase
the membership to 200 companies,

468
00:36:46,375 --> 00:36:48,867
you control 20%
of world production,

469
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:53,907
using only 0.5% of the population.

470
00:36:55,875 --> 00:36:57,616
Of course, you could retort

471
00:36:57,792 --> 00:37:00,409
that there remains 80%

472
00:37:00,583 --> 00:37:03,826
for the 4 billion people
in the rest of the world.

473
00:37:04,375 --> 00:37:06,286
In the world in which we live,

474
00:37:06,458 --> 00:37:09,371
you must grow or die.

475
00:37:09,542 --> 00:37:12,375
We've decided to grow.

476
00:37:12,542 --> 00:37:14,499
- Any objection?
- None.

477
00:37:14,750 --> 00:37:18,448
A small captain of industry,
who probably agreed, once said:

478
00:37:18,833 --> 00:37:20,995
"When a multinational
approaches your market,

479
00:37:21,167 --> 00:37:22,407
"you have 2 choices.

480
00:37:22,917 --> 00:37:25,830
"You sell out to them
or you close down."

481
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,617
He must have been depressed.

482
00:37:28,792 --> 00:37:29,873
It's current.

483
00:37:30,042 --> 00:37:31,658
Things will improve.

484
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:35,451
It worked out well for him.
He sold his company to G.T.I.

485
00:37:35,625 --> 00:37:37,707
He was a wise and smart man.

486
00:37:37,875 --> 00:37:40,617
He'll be able to holiday
all yearlong.

487
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:43,495
All his worries are ours now.

488
00:37:45,625 --> 00:37:48,538
Tell me, are you
slightly communist on the edges?

489
00:37:49,458 --> 00:37:52,450
If I was a communist,
it wouldn't be "on the edges".

490
00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:55,166
Would I be a reporter for La Tribune?

491
00:37:55,333 --> 00:37:57,074
True, but be careful what you say.

492
00:37:57,417 --> 00:38:01,035
Fred Gritt called me the next day,
to make sure your article

493
00:38:01,208 --> 00:38:04,576
would be less violent
than your words.

494
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:06,741
And it was, dear Ba yen.

495
00:38:06,917 --> 00:38:07,907
That's true.

496
00:38:08,208 --> 00:38:12,281
Despite a "diplomatic incident",

497
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:14,619
that was a close escape.

498
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:19,698
I think it was the G.T.I. Manager
for Belgium

499
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:22,165
who came to my table and said:

500
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:25,910
I think that this animosity
towards multinationals

501
00:38:26,083 --> 00:38:29,075
is because European public opinion,
especially in France,

502
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,742
is deeply rooted in nationalism.

503
00:38:32,083 --> 00:38:35,280
They are not ready to accept
the globalization of business,

504
00:38:35,458 --> 00:38:38,075
and they dislike foreign competition.

505
00:38:39,333 --> 00:38:41,040
Foreign competition

506
00:38:41,292 --> 00:38:42,999
is going to a country and saying:

507
00:38:43,167 --> 00:38:46,364
"Look, my product is better
and cheaper than yours."

508
00:38:46,542 --> 00:38:47,532
That's what we do.

509
00:38:47,708 --> 00:38:50,040
No, you implant yourselves
in the country,

510
00:38:50,208 --> 00:38:52,666
take over the company
with the same product

511
00:38:52,833 --> 00:38:54,574
and impose your own product.

512
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:57,082
You don't expect those people

513
00:38:57,292 --> 00:38:59,124
to welcome you with open arms?

514
00:38:59,625 --> 00:39:01,286
You are quite right.

515
00:39:02,417 --> 00:39:07,412
They only do that when we free them
from the Nazis!

516
00:39:12,667 --> 00:39:15,864
That's what we call a cheap shot.

517
00:39:17,125 --> 00:39:18,911
Personally,
I never thought for a second

518
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:21,666
that you freed us
from military occupation

519
00:39:21,833 --> 00:39:24,120
to replace it by an economic regime.

520
00:39:29,542 --> 00:39:30,828
Gentlemen,

521
00:39:31,625 --> 00:39:33,662
I think Mr Kerjean would agree

522
00:39:33,833 --> 00:39:37,656
that we've just made
two very bad jokes.

523
00:39:38,375 --> 00:39:41,037
We promise that
it won't happen again.

524
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:49,697
<i>That was when someone
put something in my pocket.</i>

525
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,661
<i>I never found out who.</i>

526
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,833
<i>Undoubtedly the only person
who liked me.</i>

527
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:01,706
<i>On a paper napkin,</i>

528
00:40:03,333 --> 00:40:05,415
he'd written 3 figures.

529
00:40:05,583 --> 00:40:06,948
Mind-boggling.

530
00:40:07,417 --> 00:40:10,205
Three figures
concerning who or what?

531
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,073
In 1968, an annual turnover
of a thousand billion dollars

532
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:19,118
required the 6,000 major companies
in the world.

533
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:21,457
In 1978,

534
00:40:21,875 --> 00:40:23,616
only 50 made the same amount.

535
00:40:23,958 --> 00:40:25,540
Today, there are 30.

536
00:40:25,875 --> 00:40:27,957
Tomorrow, 5 maybe.

537
00:40:28,917 --> 00:40:30,248
And even...

538
00:40:30,917 --> 00:40:32,407
one alone.

539
00:40:35,750 --> 00:40:37,787
On what terms did you leave?

540
00:40:38,375 --> 00:40:42,949
We separated in a perfect
and mutual lack of understanding.

541
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:48,285
I'll never forget the last impression
I had of him.

542
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,288
I've met quite a few visionaries
in my life.

543
00:40:52,792 --> 00:40:55,079
Spiritual mystics,

544
00:40:55,250 --> 00:40:56,240
sects,

545
00:40:56,417 --> 00:40:57,953
revolutionaries,

546
00:40:58,375 --> 00:41:00,537
ideologists, terrorists,

547
00:41:01,542 --> 00:41:05,911
he is perhaps a mystic of profit.

548
00:41:07,083 --> 00:41:09,495
His eyes riveted on another planet,

549
00:41:10,875 --> 00:41:12,115
he raised his glass...

550
00:41:13,333 --> 00:41:14,823
To G.T.I.

551
00:41:16,083 --> 00:41:17,244
To you.

552
00:41:19,250 --> 00:41:20,490
As for me,

553
00:41:21,167 --> 00:41:24,990
in my will, I have asked for
two dates to be engraved on my tomb.

554
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:28,701
My dates of birth and death.
That's normal.

555
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:32,539
And in gold lettering,

556
00:41:34,042 --> 00:41:35,874
a single figure.

557
00:41:37,292 --> 00:41:41,160
The G.T.I. share price
the day of my death.

558
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:46,080
I want my successor to come
to my grave once a year,

559
00:41:46,833 --> 00:41:49,074
and I will still be there,

560
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:54,782
to check if they have made
the share price rise.

561
00:42:58,250 --> 00:42:59,832
<i>SCANDAL AND BRIBES</i>

562
00:43:07,458 --> 00:43:09,165
It's launched.

563
00:43:09,625 --> 00:43:11,662
Go home and take
the phone off the hook.

564
00:43:11,833 --> 00:43:15,656
You'll be plagued by radios, TV...
Everyone will come calling.

565
00:43:15,833 --> 00:43:18,370
Certainly not.
I'm leaving for 2 or 3 days.

566
00:43:18,833 --> 00:43:21,245
Where can we contact you?

567
00:43:22,125 --> 00:43:24,617
At the old man's.
But only if it's urgent.

568
00:43:24,792 --> 00:43:27,454
- Back to your roots.
- That's right. See you.

569
00:43:27,625 --> 00:43:28,740
Goodbye.

570
00:44:19,208 --> 00:44:20,198
Paul!

571
00:44:20,375 --> 00:44:22,082
It's great to see you again.

572
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,118
- It's been at least...
- Even longer!

573
00:44:26,667 --> 00:44:28,874
- Isn't the old man here?
- He's in his office.

574
00:44:29,292 --> 00:44:30,782
- Hello, Michel.
- Hello.

575
00:44:31,083 --> 00:44:32,323
Alright, Denis?

576
00:44:32,875 --> 00:44:33,956
Charles-Henri.

577
00:44:34,125 --> 00:44:36,332
We expected you
on the 11 o'clock train.

578
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:39,288
My dear Sylvestre,
I came by aeroplane.

579
00:44:39,458 --> 00:44:40,789
An aeroplane.

580
00:44:44,042 --> 00:44:48,457
Young Paul, what are you doing
with your arms in the air?

581
00:44:48,667 --> 00:44:50,283
Imitating an aeroplane.

582
00:44:50,583 --> 00:44:54,372
He could have said he'd come
by plane. We'd have understood.

583
00:44:54,708 --> 00:44:57,621
He thinks we're idiots!

584
00:44:57,792 --> 00:44:59,658
He doesn't know yet.
Tell him, Sylvestre.

585
00:45:01,125 --> 00:45:02,286
Well...

586
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:05,458
 <i>Le Courrier de Vesons</i>
will be distributed

587
00:45:05,625 --> 00:45:07,536
in Paris, Lyon, Marseille,

588
00:45:07,708 --> 00:45:10,200
Bordeaux, Toulouse.
Throughout the country.

589
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:11,911
My little Paul!

590
00:45:13,292 --> 00:45:15,374
I'll give Germaine a call.

591
00:45:16,125 --> 00:45:18,583
So, in all the kiosks in France,

592
00:45:18,750 --> 00:45:21,993
no one will ask for  <i>La Tribune,
Le Figaro </i> or  <i>Le Matin,</i>

593
00:45:22,375 --> 00:45:26,323
they'll say:  <i>"Le Courrier de Vesons,</i> please."

594
00:45:26,542 --> 00:45:28,499
I've only two words for you:

595
00:45:28,667 --> 00:45:30,078
Well done!

596
00:45:37,875 --> 00:45:39,616
Hello. Germaine?

597
00:45:40,458 --> 00:45:42,324
Yes, he's just arrived.

598
00:45:43,208 --> 00:45:45,245
Have they delivered the turkey?

599
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,331
Just as well.

600
00:45:48,125 --> 00:45:50,617
Tell him my stomach...

601
00:45:50,792 --> 00:45:53,659
<i>FREE SPEECH
Holidays for all</i>

602
00:45:53,875 --> 00:45:57,789
...foie gras for the New Year,
fish on Fridays...

603
00:45:58,583 --> 00:46:01,996
<i>The meaning of our folklore festivals
it rained but it was a success!!!</i>

604
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:05,163
We came close to disaster.

605
00:46:05,458 --> 00:46:11,329
Don't add the mince until
the onions are golden brown.

606
00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:17,041
Spread half of it over the turkey,
and the rest...

607
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:18,786
Cheerio.

608
00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:23,991
Go and get cleaned up.

609
00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:26,662
Everyone at mine in an hour.

610
00:46:26,833 --> 00:46:29,575
You should come back more often,
Paul.

611
00:46:34,583 --> 00:46:36,790
Remember our argument?

612
00:46:37,375 --> 00:46:40,948
You wanted the headline:
Paul Kerjean: I'll say "Yes, mayor,

613
00:46:41,167 --> 00:46:44,205
"but only to get married."

614
00:46:44,875 --> 00:46:47,492
You already liked catchy headlines.

615
00:46:51,208 --> 00:46:53,040
How are you getting along?

616
00:46:53,583 --> 00:46:54,914
We're getting divorced.

617
00:46:56,208 --> 00:46:57,664
And Bastien?

618
00:46:59,042 --> 00:47:02,080
I have him every weekend
and for half the holidays.

619
00:47:06,458 --> 00:47:09,325
- I imagine there's no hope.
- No.

620
00:47:09,583 --> 00:47:11,039
I've tried everything.

621
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,288
Madam no longer wants to live
in Paul Kerjean's shadow.

622
00:47:16,458 --> 00:47:18,324
She wants to exist.

623
00:47:18,833 --> 00:47:21,291
When we go out,
the spotlight's on me.

624
00:47:22,542 --> 00:47:25,034
It's not my fault people
want to talk about my latest article

625
00:47:25,208 --> 00:47:27,700
or book.
I reply, that's all.

626
00:47:28,875 --> 00:47:33,699
And there's always a jerk
who comes and says something like:

627
00:47:35,167 --> 00:47:38,159
"I find you so intelligent, madam."

628
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:42,494
Just because she said: "Would you
be so kind as to pass the salt?"

629
00:47:44,042 --> 00:47:46,534
"You're beautiful, you know."

630
00:47:46,833 --> 00:47:49,746
The supreme word is unleashed.

631
00:47:50,917 --> 00:47:52,032
Words.

632
00:47:54,042 --> 00:47:55,498
Words.
That's what they want.

633
00:47:55,667 --> 00:47:58,500
The city makes you sick, Paul.

634
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:05,332
Come on.

635
00:48:18,625 --> 00:48:20,707
Well done for your article.

636
00:48:21,167 --> 00:48:24,285
Very good, Mr Guérande,
your article on business tax.

637
00:48:24,750 --> 00:48:27,117
And those bloody buildings
they want to put up?

638
00:48:27,333 --> 00:48:29,244
In the next edition.

639
00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:31,411
Thank you, Julien.

640
00:48:31,958 --> 00:48:36,953
Admit you thought "Well done
for your article" was for you.

641
00:48:37,958 --> 00:48:38,948
That's true.

642
00:48:39,125 --> 00:48:43,198
In Paris, you all think the world
revolves around you.

643
00:48:43,375 --> 00:48:47,699
Here, they don't give a damn
about your Parisian scandals.

644
00:48:48,292 --> 00:48:51,364
Maybe one day,
you'll receive a letter saying:

645
00:48:52,625 --> 00:48:54,207
"The old man's dead".

646
00:48:54,958 --> 00:48:57,916
Tell yourself that I'll have left
with the springtime,

647
00:48:58,083 --> 00:49:00,165
with a wealth of sights and sounds

648
00:49:00,667 --> 00:49:02,499
and a full stomach!

649
00:49:02,750 --> 00:49:05,208
I'll be buried here
with your family,

650
00:49:05,458 --> 00:49:07,199
and on my tomb they'll write:

651
00:49:07,417 --> 00:49:10,330
"Here lies an old happy jerk".

652
00:49:10,583 --> 00:49:14,121
I'll make sure they write:
"He talked of a faraway planet".

653
00:49:14,292 --> 00:49:17,739
Why? Talking about springtime
was ridiculous?

654
00:49:18,083 --> 00:49:20,575
My springtimes are very simple, Paul.

655
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:23,412
Springtime today is your visit

656
00:49:23,583 --> 00:49:27,497
and a stuffed turkey
just how I like it.

657
00:49:27,667 --> 00:49:29,203
It's waiting for us.

658
00:49:32,083 --> 00:49:33,244
Germaine!

659
00:49:45,833 --> 00:49:47,494
What time was the body found?

660
00:49:47,667 --> 00:49:50,989
A mariner found it this morning
at 6.15 am.

661
00:49:51,167 --> 00:49:53,625
There's no doubt, it's a suicide.

662
00:49:53,792 --> 00:49:56,033
Jacques Benoit-Lambert
shot himself.

663
00:49:56,875 --> 00:50:00,914
We found this next to him,
on the passenger seat.

664
00:50:21,958 --> 00:50:23,164
Mr Kerjean!

665
00:50:23,333 --> 00:50:26,041
Mr Ba yen's waiting
in Mr Hartmann's office.

666
00:50:38,042 --> 00:50:39,157
Come in.

667
00:50:43,333 --> 00:50:44,494
Sit down.

668
00:50:49,375 --> 00:50:51,958
This suicide
confirms your article, Kerjean.

669
00:50:52,667 --> 00:50:55,079
But I don't want us
to act triumphant.

670
00:50:55,833 --> 00:50:57,244
We're not responsible,

671
00:50:57,417 --> 00:51:00,284
but if we continue,
we'll annoy everyone.

672
00:51:01,042 --> 00:51:04,740
We can't persecute a man
when some blame his death on us.

673
00:51:04,917 --> 00:51:06,783
- That's not my opinion.
- Mine neither.

674
00:51:06,958 --> 00:51:07,948
But some think so.

675
00:51:08,292 --> 00:51:10,659
I think we should continue,
Mr Hartmann.

676
00:51:10,958 --> 00:51:13,700
We can't allow ourselves
to drop this

677
00:51:13,875 --> 00:51:16,993
as if we regret having lit
a firecracker that exploded.

678
00:51:17,167 --> 00:51:18,657
We must see it through.

679
00:51:19,125 --> 00:51:20,536
Some questions are unanswered.

680
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:22,286
Which questions?

681
00:51:23,625 --> 00:51:27,323
JBL couldn't sell off
France Electronics alone.

682
00:51:27,542 --> 00:51:30,785
We must find the others,
this could be far-reaching.

683
00:51:32,625 --> 00:51:35,538
The answer may be in these photos.

684
00:51:41,292 --> 00:51:43,533
Every other night,
this is where JBL went.

685
00:51:43,708 --> 00:51:45,619
16 rue Cisco.

686
00:51:46,333 --> 00:51:50,122
Walter, the private detective
hired by Mrs Benoit-Lambert,

687
00:51:50,417 --> 00:51:52,249
took these photos.

688
00:51:52,750 --> 00:51:55,663
They couldn't be used
for the divorce,

689
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:57,957
so he stopped taking photos.

690
00:51:58,125 --> 00:52:00,617
He was probably going to see
his mistress.

691
00:52:01,250 --> 00:52:03,867
No, sir, his mistress
doesn't live there.

692
00:52:05,875 --> 00:52:09,539
There's this one,
showing this man from behind.

693
00:52:09,708 --> 00:52:12,120
The only person
I haven't identified.

694
00:52:14,958 --> 00:52:19,953
Listen, Kerjean, we can't imagine
JBL using such means to survive.

695
00:52:20,458 --> 00:52:22,995
This man is dead,
the rest is up to the law

696
00:52:23,375 --> 00:52:24,786
and history.

697
00:52:25,708 --> 00:52:27,324
For me, this is over.

698
00:52:29,708 --> 00:52:30,869
Thank you.

699
00:52:57,875 --> 00:53:00,367
- I've come to see Mr Walter.
- Wait!

700
00:53:00,833 --> 00:53:02,244
Mr Walter is with someone.

701
00:53:09,125 --> 00:53:10,411
Mr Kerjean.

702
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:14,242
Do me the pleasure
of leaving immediately.

703
00:53:17,667 --> 00:53:19,783
I've nothing to say to you.

704
00:53:20,208 --> 00:53:23,530
I told you everything I knew
the last time we met.

705
00:53:23,708 --> 00:53:26,075
I've nothing to add.

706
00:53:28,958 --> 00:53:30,744
Please leave.

707
00:53:41,542 --> 00:53:44,000
Listen, Kerjean,
I don't have the time.

708
00:53:44,167 --> 00:53:49,162
I'm in a hurry. I have to leave
immediately for a case.

709
00:53:49,542 --> 00:53:51,829
You can understand that, can't you?

710
00:53:52,208 --> 00:53:53,698
Come on, be kind.

711
00:53:54,333 --> 00:53:56,745
- Leave.
- Just 10 minutes. 10 little minutes.

712
00:53:56,917 --> 00:53:59,079
- I don't have time.
- Find it.

713
00:53:59,250 --> 00:54:01,036
Why? There's no reason.

714
00:54:01,250 --> 00:54:02,866
Yes, there is one.

715
00:54:03,375 --> 00:54:06,242
I'll write articles
about private detectives,

716
00:54:06,667 --> 00:54:08,624
the Walter Agency in particular.

717
00:54:08,958 --> 00:54:11,996
You won't have to worry
about your clients.

718
00:54:12,958 --> 00:54:16,326
You'll have a lot of spare time,
to meet them for example.

719
00:54:16,667 --> 00:54:17,907
But...

720
00:54:18,125 --> 00:54:19,240
you're threatening me.

721
00:54:19,583 --> 00:54:22,245
I'm not threatening you.
I'm giving you a choice.

722
00:54:24,250 --> 00:54:25,240
Alright.

723
00:54:28,417 --> 00:54:30,203
But only 10 minutes!

724
00:54:32,208 --> 00:54:36,202
Who did Benoit-Lambert visit,
16 rue Cisco?

725
00:54:37,292 --> 00:54:38,282
Who?

726
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,706
I've no idea.

727
00:54:51,667 --> 00:54:53,078
Ground floor,

728
00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:55,574
a dental practice.

729
00:54:55,917 --> 00:54:56,907
First floor,

730
00:54:57,500 --> 00:54:59,787
a young couple with two children.

731
00:55:00,250 --> 00:55:01,957
They're always traveling.

732
00:55:02,125 --> 00:55:04,913
The husband teaches in the US
6 months a year.

733
00:55:05,125 --> 00:55:07,116
Mr and Mrs Chatillon.

734
00:55:07,333 --> 00:55:08,414
Second floor,

735
00:55:09,292 --> 00:55:10,874
insurance experts.

736
00:55:11,042 --> 00:55:12,032
Third floor,

737
00:55:12,375 --> 00:55:15,948
a retired couple,
Mr and Mrs Holstein.

738
00:55:16,458 --> 00:55:18,790
That's all I know.
Happy now?

739
00:55:20,958 --> 00:55:21,993
And this?

740
00:55:22,292 --> 00:55:25,159
That's Benoit-Lambert
and Laura Weber.

741
00:55:25,458 --> 00:55:28,291
Walter, don't act stupid.
This man here,

742
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:29,615
who is it?

743
00:55:30,583 --> 00:55:34,281
I have no idea.
I wasn't paid to follow him.

744
00:55:34,458 --> 00:55:37,576
My job concerned Benoit-Lambert
and Laura Weber. That's all.

745
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:39,991
For how long did you follow them?

746
00:55:41,125 --> 00:55:43,082
Almost until the last day.

747
00:55:43,250 --> 00:55:46,288
Why not until the end?
Were you taken off the case?

748
00:55:46,625 --> 00:55:47,456
No.

749
00:55:47,625 --> 00:55:50,208
So why weren't you there
until the end?

750
00:55:53,167 --> 00:55:54,657
I was.

751
00:55:58,292 --> 00:56:01,489
You were there...
when he killed himself?

752
00:56:01,833 --> 00:56:03,619
Do you want my hide, Kerjean?

753
00:56:03,833 --> 00:56:06,074
I'm trying to find out what happened.

754
00:56:06,792 --> 00:56:08,453
So,

755
00:56:09,042 --> 00:56:10,373
the last evening,

756
00:56:10,708 --> 00:56:14,372
you saw JBL get into his car
and you followed him.

757
00:56:14,625 --> 00:56:17,617
- No!
- That's what you just told me!

758
00:56:19,042 --> 00:56:21,500
No.
That's not what I said.

759
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,870
That night, Benoit-Lambert
left his home with two men.

760
00:56:28,667 --> 00:56:31,204
One got into the back seat
with him,

761
00:56:31,625 --> 00:56:33,832
the other sat at the wheel.

762
00:56:34,208 --> 00:56:36,119
As I was about to follow them,

763
00:56:36,708 --> 00:56:39,291
a van drove by, blocking my view.

764
00:56:39,917 --> 00:56:44,161
When the van had passed,
their car had disappeared.

765
00:56:45,250 --> 00:56:47,992
I'm warning you,
this isn't in my report.

766
00:56:48,167 --> 00:56:51,159
I said I was sick that night
and couldn't follow him.

767
00:56:51,333 --> 00:56:53,540
And that's what I'll say in court

768
00:56:53,792 --> 00:56:55,624
if the case gets that far.

769
00:56:57,083 --> 00:56:58,699
- On oath?
- On oath.

770
00:56:58,875 --> 00:57:00,866
I wasn't there.
I saw nothing.

771
00:57:01,542 --> 00:57:02,623
Who were the men?

772
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,118
I've no idea
and I don't want to know.

773
00:57:06,333 --> 00:57:07,869
What did they look like?

774
00:57:08,042 --> 00:57:09,407
Describe them to me.

775
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,116
Not tall, not small,

776
00:57:13,292 --> 00:57:14,999
not too fat, not too thin,

777
00:57:15,208 --> 00:57:17,199
they were wearing shoes,
trousers,

778
00:57:18,208 --> 00:57:20,165
and raincoats
because it was raining.

779
00:57:20,667 --> 00:57:21,873
Is that enough?

780
00:57:22,542 --> 00:57:25,455
- Did you see their faces?
- You want a photo?

781
00:57:25,958 --> 00:57:27,414
I didn't see anything.

782
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:30,951
I was parked at a distance,
it was nighttime.

783
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:35,868
And now, for the love of God,
leave, Kerjean.

784
00:57:37,042 --> 00:57:39,830
And to prove I won't hold this
against you,

785
00:57:40,708 --> 00:57:43,291
I'll give you some friendly advice,

786
00:57:43,625 --> 00:57:46,868
drop this affair,
forget Benoit-Lambert,

787
00:57:47,208 --> 00:57:49,700
go on holiday and leave this town.

788
00:57:55,208 --> 00:57:56,243
Very well.

789
00:57:58,208 --> 00:58:00,199
- That's all for now.
- For now,

790
00:58:00,417 --> 00:58:01,407
or later.

791
00:58:01,583 --> 00:58:03,415
Don't call me, don't come back,

792
00:58:03,583 --> 00:58:06,075
I won't see you, I won't be here.

793
00:58:25,125 --> 00:58:27,787
- So, Bastien, you alright?
- Yes.

794
00:58:27,958 --> 00:58:29,494
- Didn't Rémi come today?
- No.

795
00:58:58,292 --> 00:59:00,624
<i>MARITIME MUSEUM</i>

796
00:59:08,042 --> 00:59:10,955
This boat's lovely, Daddy.
What's it called?

797
00:59:11,292 --> 00:59:12,327
<i>L'Océan.</i>

798
00:59:13,042 --> 00:59:14,032
Come on.

799
00:59:23,292 --> 00:59:25,124
That's the <i>Chebba.</i>

800
00:59:25,542 --> 00:59:26,907
That's right.

801
00:59:27,083 --> 00:59:28,289
Wow!

802
00:59:42,250 --> 00:59:43,285
Bastien,

803
00:59:45,458 --> 00:59:47,290
go to the end of the gallery

804
00:59:47,792 --> 00:59:49,157
and come back the other way.

805
00:59:49,333 --> 00:59:52,371
- You're not coming?
- I'll meet you there.

806
00:59:58,042 --> 01:00:00,409
- Miss Laura Weber?
- Yes, sir.

807
01:00:01,250 --> 01:00:03,207
Thank you for agreeing to meet.

808
01:00:03,708 --> 01:00:05,574
I came because you said
you were a Close friend

809
01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:07,332
of Jacques Benoit—Lambert.

810
01:00:07,708 --> 01:00:08,698
What is this about?

811
01:00:09,750 --> 01:00:12,412
I am not a friend
of Jacques Benoit-Lambert.

812
01:00:13,542 --> 01:00:15,704
I needed to speak with you.

813
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:17,740
Then who are you?

814
01:00:19,250 --> 01:00:20,786
My name is Paul Kerjean.

815
01:00:22,167 --> 01:00:24,454
Your brazenness
revolts me, Mr Kerjean.

816
01:00:25,167 --> 01:00:27,408
Haven't you done enough harm?

817
01:00:27,792 --> 01:00:30,033
What do you want?
To sully his private life?

818
01:00:30,250 --> 01:00:31,456
Go ahead.

819
01:00:32,875 --> 01:00:34,286
My name is Laura Weber.

820
01:00:35,167 --> 01:00:36,783
I loved him deeply.

821
01:00:38,750 --> 01:00:39,831
Miss!

822
01:00:42,250 --> 01:00:45,948
I understand your reaction.
It's not about his private life.

823
01:00:46,208 --> 01:00:49,371
Please give me a few minutes
and remain calm.

824
01:00:49,542 --> 01:00:50,828
Remain calm?

825
01:00:51,375 --> 01:00:54,447
You have no idea
how much I despise you, sir.

826
01:00:55,083 --> 01:00:56,323
You're a monster.

827
01:00:56,542 --> 01:00:59,989
Between a crossword and a cartoon,
you expose others' lives.

828
01:01:00,167 --> 01:01:03,285
You can't bear being less important
than those you write about.

829
01:01:03,542 --> 01:01:05,032
Daddy!

830
01:01:06,750 --> 01:01:08,161
Don't leave.

831
01:01:10,083 --> 01:01:11,869
Look, it's Napoleon's ship.

832
01:01:12,042 --> 01:01:13,077
Shut up!

833
01:01:13,250 --> 01:01:15,491
- You can't shout in museums.
- Why?

834
01:01:15,708 --> 01:01:17,824
Look and shut up.

835
01:01:26,958 --> 01:01:29,040
- I'm sorry.
- It's disgusting.

836
01:01:29,208 --> 01:01:31,791
You even came with a kid,
to soften me up.

837
01:01:32,292 --> 01:01:34,329
No one's trying to soften you up.

838
01:01:34,667 --> 01:01:38,490
You can be a reporter and a father
taking his son to the museum.

839
01:01:39,208 --> 01:01:41,449
As for the rest,
I just did my job.

840
01:01:42,542 --> 01:01:44,704
No, you were taking care
of your career.

841
01:01:44,875 --> 01:01:46,832
You don't have the guts to admit it.

842
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,287
You're not responsible
for what happened, right?

843
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:50,831
Miss Weber,

844
01:01:52,042 --> 01:01:55,160
it's possible that Jacques
Benoit-Lambert didn't kill himself.

845
01:02:01,333 --> 01:02:02,539
He was killed?

846
01:02:02,750 --> 01:02:04,240
It appears possible.

847
01:02:05,458 --> 01:02:06,914
What makes you say that?

848
01:02:07,208 --> 01:02:11,247
A number of troubling facts.
I can't talk about that for now.

849
01:02:11,958 --> 01:02:14,495
It may seem absurd,
but I need your help.

850
01:02:15,792 --> 01:02:19,660
If you think I'll help you to write
another article, you're crazy.

851
01:02:20,250 --> 01:02:21,661
Calm down.

852
01:02:23,208 --> 01:02:24,619
There won't be an article.

853
01:02:26,625 --> 01:02:31,040
Or if there is one,
it will be to denounce his murderers.

854
01:02:35,292 --> 01:02:37,954
Anyway, I don't know
how I can help you.

855
01:02:38,792 --> 01:02:42,330
I need to know if he led you
to believe he was in danger.

856
01:02:44,042 --> 01:02:46,409
I talked about his death
that afternoon.

857
01:02:46,958 --> 01:02:49,416
He told me he'd decided
to fight back,

858
01:02:49,583 --> 01:02:52,041
that he'd bring to light a scandal

859
01:02:52,208 --> 01:02:54,165
that concerned a lot of people

860
01:02:55,125 --> 01:02:57,492
and I would be proud
of having trusted him.

861
01:02:57,667 --> 01:02:59,829
Was that the last time
you talked?

862
01:03:00,625 --> 01:03:01,615
No.

863
01:03:02,417 --> 01:03:04,533
He called me around 8:30 pm

864
01:03:05,917 --> 01:03:09,455
to say he was at his place
but that he would come to mine,

865
01:03:09,625 --> 01:03:12,162
to tell me what he intended to do.

866
01:03:13,583 --> 01:03:16,826
He said: "I'll be at yours in half
an hour." He was really happy.

867
01:03:18,167 --> 01:03:19,828
I waited for him.

868
01:03:20,333 --> 01:03:22,040
And who told you?

869
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:23,581
No one.

870
01:03:25,458 --> 01:03:28,905
It's terrible to hear on TV
that the man you love is dead,

871
01:03:30,167 --> 01:03:33,455
announced by someone
for whom it's just another event

872
01:03:33,958 --> 01:03:35,915
like the weather and the rest.

873
01:03:41,333 --> 01:03:42,823
There, Mr Kerjean.

874
01:03:43,417 --> 01:03:47,786
You can continue shooting arrows
Without wondering where they land.

875
01:03:47,958 --> 01:03:49,790
If you remember anything else,

876
01:03:52,083 --> 01:03:53,573
could you call me?

877
01:03:55,833 --> 01:03:59,371
It's highly unlikely
that I'll call you, Mr Kerjean.

878
01:04:20,375 --> 01:04:21,365
<i>Kerjean.</i>

879
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:23,206
<i>JBL is dead.</i>

880
01:04:23,583 --> 01:04:25,039
<i>May he rest in peace.</i>

881
01:04:25,208 --> 01:04:27,666
<i>Forget the affair.
Understand?</i>

882
01:04:28,083 --> 01:04:29,790
<i>Forget the affair.</i>

883
01:04:33,333 --> 01:04:34,164
<i>This is Ba yen.</i>

884
01:04:34,333 --> 01:04:36,449
<i>You haven't been in for 2 days.
What the hell?</i>

885
01:04:36,625 --> 01:04:38,115
<i>Hartmann's asking about you.</i>

886
01:04:38,292 --> 01:04:40,499
<i>And I wonder if you still work here.</i>

887
01:04:40,667 --> 01:04:43,329
<i>Your presence here
would reassure everybody,</i>

888
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:46,492
<i>and would prevent you being fired
for misconduct.</i>

889
01:04:46,667 --> 01:04:47,657
<i>Good evening.</i>

890
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,992
<i>Paul, it's Héléne.</i>

891
01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:56,082
<i>I suppose you'll eat with Bastien.</i>

892
01:04:56,917 --> 01:05:00,035
<i>Please don't bring him back
before 10:30 pm.</i>

893
01:05:00,625 --> 01:05:01,831
<i>I'm going out.</i>

894
01:05:09,042 --> 01:05:09,873
Bastien!

895
01:05:10,458 --> 01:05:13,450
It's party time.
We'll eat in a restaurant

896
01:05:13,625 --> 01:05:15,366
and then we'll watch a film.

897
01:05:24,958 --> 01:05:27,074
There. How about <i>Bambi?</i>

898
01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:30,082
- I've seen it twice.
- Alright.

899
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:35,492
A film with cowboys and fighting.

900
01:05:36,917 --> 01:05:37,782
Stop.

901
01:05:37,958 --> 01:05:39,073
<i>Shane.</i>

902
01:05:39,542 --> 01:05:40,953
The man from the lost valleys.

903
01:05:41,125 --> 01:05:44,163
- There's a little boy you'll like.
- Does it end well?

904
01:05:44,792 --> 01:05:46,328
It depends for who.

905
01:05:49,708 --> 01:05:53,531
When I grow up,
I want to be a doctor for children.

906
01:05:54,083 --> 01:05:56,199
Wait, it's called a...

907
01:05:58,125 --> 01:06:00,867
A podi... podiatrist.

908
01:06:01,750 --> 01:06:03,036
No, not a podiatrist,

909
01:06:03,208 --> 01:06:04,118
it's...

910
01:06:04,292 --> 01:06:05,373
- A pediatrician.
- That's it.

911
01:06:05,583 --> 01:06:07,950
Apparently, it's a very good job.

912
01:06:08,875 --> 01:06:10,786
Come on, let's go.

913
01:06:15,250 --> 01:06:17,958
Daddy, can I take
my bike to Mum's?

914
01:06:18,333 --> 01:06:19,744
Of course!

915
01:06:33,208 --> 01:06:34,994
Where's your restaurant?

916
01:06:35,208 --> 01:06:36,289
Daddy!

917
01:06:47,250 --> 01:06:48,832
<i>OUT OF SERVICE</i>

918
01:07:08,917 --> 01:07:10,578
Hello, the lift company?

919
01:07:10,750 --> 01:07:13,458
My address is
128 rue de la Convention.

920
01:07:14,042 --> 01:07:16,875
You sent your workers
for the lift maintenance.

921
01:07:17,042 --> 01:07:20,706
They left half an hour ago,
the ground-floor door is blocked

922
01:07:20,875 --> 01:07:23,492
and I've just heard a loud noise
in the shaft.

923
01:07:23,667 --> 01:07:25,203
Yes, number 128.

924
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:28,366
You didn't send anyone?

925
01:07:29,167 --> 01:07:30,623
Well, I'm not crazy.

926
01:08:00,583 --> 01:08:02,369
- You didn't get my message?
- I did.

927
01:08:03,167 --> 01:08:05,283
I thought we'd agreed,
once and for all...

928
01:08:05,500 --> 01:08:08,788
...our relations would only
concern Bastien. This does.

929
01:08:09,500 --> 01:08:11,912
Indirectly, but I'm here
for Bastien.

930
01:08:12,083 --> 01:08:13,824
What's wrong, darling?

931
01:08:16,583 --> 01:08:18,415
What happened, Bastien?

932
01:08:18,625 --> 01:08:20,957
I broke my bike, Mummy.

933
01:08:22,958 --> 01:08:24,039
It doesn't matter.

934
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:26,990
Here.

935
01:08:27,333 --> 01:08:28,949
I've a gift for you.

936
01:08:31,458 --> 01:08:34,450
You're crazy. You come over
because of a bike.

937
01:08:34,792 --> 01:08:36,624
I'll explain the situation

938
01:08:36,917 --> 01:08:38,453
when your doc has left.

939
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:44,957
Go and play in your room, sweetie.

940
01:08:49,750 --> 01:08:51,661
Can I know who told you?

941
01:08:52,208 --> 01:08:53,698
Kids of divorced parents
are always torn

942
01:08:53,875 --> 01:08:56,333
between their father's job
and their mother's lover's.

943
01:08:56,500 --> 01:09:00,323
I don't have the honor of being
at the faculty, so it was easy.

944
01:09:04,458 --> 01:09:05,698
Leave,Paul

945
01:09:06,583 --> 01:09:07,664
Héléne...

946
01:09:08,625 --> 01:09:10,866
I'm really sorry to be a spoilsport,

947
01:09:11,417 --> 01:09:14,614
but I think the party's over.
This is serious.

948
01:09:21,417 --> 01:09:23,749
Stop talking in riddles.

949
01:09:25,042 --> 01:09:27,784
Bastien and I were almost murdered.

950
01:09:32,750 --> 01:09:35,708
What's all this about murder.
Someone tried to kill you?

951
01:09:35,875 --> 01:09:36,865
Yes.

952
01:09:37,333 --> 01:09:38,539
But why?

953
01:09:38,708 --> 01:09:39,994
What's it to do with Bastien?

954
01:09:40,333 --> 01:09:41,994
Nothing.

955
01:09:42,167 --> 01:09:43,953
They're using Bastien
to get at me.

956
01:09:44,333 --> 01:09:45,368
Who's "they"?

957
01:09:46,750 --> 01:09:49,788
I don't know. My research
isn't to the liking of everyone.

958
01:09:50,292 --> 01:09:51,703
The Benoit-Lambert affair?

959
01:09:52,417 --> 01:09:53,248
Yes.

960
01:09:53,958 --> 01:09:55,995
I don't understand.
He killed himself.

961
01:09:56,167 --> 01:09:57,828
That proves it was true.

962
01:09:58,125 --> 01:10:00,366
I don't think he committed suicide.

963
01:10:02,250 --> 01:10:05,242
They used my article to disguise
a killing as suicide.

964
01:10:05,708 --> 01:10:06,573
Why?

965
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,911
So that he couldn't talk.

966
01:10:09,583 --> 01:10:10,744
He was about to.

967
01:10:11,125 --> 01:10:13,116
Do you know
What he was going to say?

968
01:10:13,333 --> 01:10:14,494
Not at all.

969
01:10:16,292 --> 01:10:17,282
But...

970
01:10:18,208 --> 01:10:19,824
they don't know that.

971
01:10:22,750 --> 01:10:23,615
Héléne,

972
01:10:25,125 --> 01:10:27,992
you have to take Bastien away,
for a while.

973
01:10:37,292 --> 01:10:42,082
I suppose there's no point
in asking you to stop investigating.

974
01:10:45,167 --> 01:10:46,453
No, none at all.

975
01:10:50,917 --> 01:10:52,032
Alright.

976
01:10:52,958 --> 01:10:54,414
Tell me where to go.

977
01:10:57,042 --> 01:10:58,328
Thank you.

978
01:11:06,875 --> 01:11:09,537
I knew I was right to marry you.

979
01:11:17,292 --> 01:11:19,704
Hello. Mr Guérande?
It's Paul Kerjean.

980
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,537
No, not great,
but I'll explain later.

981
01:11:23,833 --> 01:11:26,575
Mr Guérande, I need a favour.

982
01:11:26,750 --> 01:11:29,708
Can Héléne and Bastien
stay at yours for a while?

983
01:11:30,917 --> 01:11:31,907
Yes.

984
01:11:33,292 --> 01:11:36,000
No.
Let's call it an enforced holiday.

985
01:11:37,542 --> 01:11:39,783
Can you pick them up
from the station?

986
01:11:40,542 --> 01:11:42,408
The evening train. Yes.

987
01:11:44,208 --> 01:11:46,700
Mr Guérande... Thank you.

988
01:11:47,583 --> 01:11:49,995
And give Germaine a big hug from me.

989
01:12:11,500 --> 01:12:14,822
Please forgive me, Pierre.
I'll call you later.

990
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:22,208
Héléne, you're sure
there's nothing I can do?

991
01:12:22,458 --> 01:12:25,120
No, nothing.
Don't worry.

992
01:12:25,542 --> 01:12:27,124
Thank you again.

993
01:12:40,333 --> 01:12:41,823
I'm sorry.

994
01:12:44,833 --> 01:12:48,906
I hope your guest didn't think
my arrival was due to jealousy.

995
01:12:52,958 --> 01:12:54,574
Was it...

996
01:12:56,250 --> 01:12:58,287
very important for you?

997
01:13:01,083 --> 01:13:03,450
Nothing is more important
than Bastien.

998
01:13:17,542 --> 01:13:18,577
Mr Kerjean.

999
01:13:20,917 --> 01:13:23,124
We don't see you very often.

1000
01:13:23,708 --> 01:13:26,120
- What about your mail?
- In a nutshell.

1001
01:13:27,292 --> 01:13:29,329
This is the "insults" pile.

1002
01:13:29,625 --> 01:13:33,198
To summarize: "Mr Kerjean,
you chew people's lives up,

1003
01:13:33,375 --> 01:13:34,991
"you talk about others,

1004
01:13:35,167 --> 01:13:38,285
"coldly, without emotion,
hiding behind your profession...

1005
01:13:38,875 --> 01:13:41,583
"You stir up shit," etc, etc.

1006
01:13:42,167 --> 01:13:43,657
And what is this?

1007
01:13:44,583 --> 01:13:47,120
That's from a gentleman
in the country,

1008
01:13:47,333 --> 01:13:50,075
where toilet paper is quite rare,

1009
01:13:50,292 --> 01:13:52,704
and this is how your article
will end up.

1010
01:13:53,042 --> 01:13:55,329
He added the famous words
of Henri Jeanson:

1011
01:13:55,667 --> 01:13:59,956
"I read you this morning,
from behind."

1012
01:14:02,667 --> 01:14:05,625
This is the "I loved your article"
pile,

1013
01:14:05,792 --> 01:14:08,454
"I greatly enjoyed it. Well done
for being so brave.

1014
01:14:08,625 --> 01:14:11,367
"It was extremely interesting,"
etc, etc.

1015
01:14:11,542 --> 01:14:12,828
Nothing else?

1016
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,332
A young lady came to see you.
Three times.

1017
01:14:15,500 --> 01:14:17,537
She didn't want to give her name.

1018
01:14:18,458 --> 01:14:20,665
- Is Bayen in his office?
- Oh, yes.

1019
01:14:20,833 --> 01:14:23,245
He's always in his office.

1020
01:14:40,375 --> 01:14:43,993
Let's forget the niceties:
"You're back, we don't see you often,

1021
01:14:44,167 --> 01:14:46,829
"if you still work for us,
let me know, etc."

1022
01:14:47,417 --> 01:14:49,283
I'll get straight to the point.

1023
01:14:49,833 --> 01:14:50,823
One:

1024
01:14:52,250 --> 01:14:53,832
I was almost killed.

1025
01:14:55,333 --> 01:14:57,370
They wanted to kill my son and me.

1026
01:14:58,667 --> 01:14:59,657
Two:

1027
01:15:00,042 --> 01:15:03,160
I'm now certain that Benoit—Lambert
didn't kill himself,

1028
01:15:03,333 --> 01:15:04,869
he was killed.

1029
01:15:05,833 --> 01:15:06,914
Three:

1030
01:15:07,125 --> 01:15:09,287
anyone looking into this
is in danger.

1031
01:15:09,458 --> 01:15:11,165
Four: I'm looking into it.

1032
01:15:11,583 --> 01:15:12,948
Five: you'll cover me.

1033
01:15:13,125 --> 01:15:14,615
Or I'll resign.

1034
01:15:14,833 --> 01:15:16,415
"Cover you"?

1035
01:15:16,917 --> 01:15:18,453
Not a word to Hartmann.

1036
01:15:19,333 --> 01:15:22,121
Officially,
you give me a story such as

1037
01:15:22,708 --> 01:15:25,120
"The Cinema Crisis in France".
I have something on that.

1038
01:15:25,458 --> 01:15:26,914
We published that last year.

1039
01:15:27,667 --> 01:15:30,739
It's still pertinent.
Just change a few commas.

1040
01:15:31,458 --> 01:15:33,574
I'll continue investigating,
off the record.

1041
01:15:33,792 --> 01:15:36,500
If there's a problem,
you know nothing.

1042
01:15:36,667 --> 01:15:37,907
Agreed?

1043
01:15:38,792 --> 01:15:39,782
Come in.

1044
01:15:40,333 --> 01:15:42,244
Mr Kerjean, she's here.

1045
01:15:42,958 --> 01:15:44,414
Who?

1046
01:15:46,167 --> 01:15:48,283
The woman who came three times.

1047
01:16:12,958 --> 01:16:16,451
This may be my most stupid act,
trusting someone like you...

1048
01:16:16,625 --> 01:16:20,368
Miss Weber,
only you can decide on that.

1049
01:16:20,792 --> 01:16:24,080
I've no time to convince you
I'm not who you think,

1050
01:16:24,542 --> 01:16:26,874
that you can confide in me, etc.

1051
01:16:27,167 --> 01:16:29,579
Either you talk to me or you leave.

1052
01:16:37,625 --> 01:16:39,491
I've just been burgled.

1053
01:16:40,083 --> 01:16:41,915
My apartment was searched
from top to bottom,

1054
01:16:42,125 --> 01:16:43,160
the carpets ripped up.

1055
01:16:43,708 --> 01:16:45,619
- What did they steal?
- Nothing.

1056
01:16:45,792 --> 01:16:47,157
Nothing at all.

1057
01:16:47,792 --> 01:16:49,499
It's not a burglary, then.

1058
01:16:49,875 --> 01:16:51,616
They didn't find What
they were looking for.

1059
01:16:52,750 --> 01:16:53,831
Of course.

1060
01:16:55,125 --> 01:16:56,365
But...

1061
01:16:57,417 --> 01:16:59,533
do you think
I should inform the police?

1062
01:17:00,458 --> 01:17:02,199
What will you tell them?

1063
01:17:02,417 --> 01:17:04,533
"I was burgled,
nothing was stolen"?

1064
01:17:06,375 --> 01:17:08,036
Now, tell me honestly,

1065
01:17:08,792 --> 01:17:11,830
do you have any idea
What they were looking for?

1066
01:17:12,375 --> 01:17:14,491
None at all.
Honestly.

1067
01:17:17,292 --> 01:17:18,999
A piece of advice,

1068
01:17:19,625 --> 01:17:22,947
you're not at risk,
but leave Paris for a while.

1069
01:17:23,583 --> 01:17:26,041
I'm going to my sister's
in the country tomorrow.

1070
01:17:26,792 --> 01:17:28,453
That's the best thing to do.

1071
01:17:28,792 --> 01:17:29,953
Right.

1072
01:17:30,958 --> 01:17:33,074
Thank you for trusting me.

1073
01:17:35,458 --> 01:17:36,539
Miss Weber,

1074
01:17:36,708 --> 01:17:38,198
one last question.

1075
01:17:40,458 --> 01:17:44,076
Do you remember this man?
You dined with him one night.

1076
01:17:44,667 --> 01:17:46,123
Yes, of course.

1077
01:17:46,417 --> 01:17:48,909
It's Michel Saint-Claude,
Jacques' friend.

1078
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:51,116
What does he do?

1079
01:17:51,542 --> 01:17:54,910
He's President of a big company
in Europe, I think.

1080
01:17:58,917 --> 01:18:03,366
Mr Kerjean, I see you're still
interested in the G.T.I. empire.

1081
01:18:03,750 --> 01:18:05,286
Don't you remember?

1082
01:18:05,458 --> 01:18:07,745
We met 2 months ago
at the Brussels convention.

1083
01:18:08,583 --> 01:18:11,416
It was 4 am and we were pretending
it was 9 pm.

1084
01:18:12,167 --> 01:18:14,033
What are you drinking, Mr Kerjean?

1085
01:18:16,708 --> 01:18:19,621
I'm torn between
a large whiskey or hot White coffee

1086
01:18:19,833 --> 01:18:21,073
<i>with a croissant.</i>

1087
01:18:21,458 --> 01:18:23,290
I was charmed by you.

1088
01:18:23,667 --> 01:18:26,500
Your arguments were naive,
but full of good sense.

1089
01:18:27,208 --> 01:18:29,040
You dared to stand up
to the president.

1090
01:18:29,208 --> 01:18:31,324
It was something to be seen.

1091
01:18:33,958 --> 01:18:35,915
<i>The napkin in my pocket,</i>

1092
01:18:37,375 --> 01:18:38,581
<i>that was you.</i>

1093
01:18:38,792 --> 01:18:39,782
It was me.

1094
01:18:40,167 --> 01:18:41,373
I took a risk.

1095
01:18:41,833 --> 01:18:43,949
Have a seat.
A whiskey?

1096
01:18:46,125 --> 01:18:47,456
Mr Saint-Claude,

1097
01:18:48,458 --> 01:18:51,621
were you close to Benoit-Lambert?
Were you friends?

1098
01:18:52,292 --> 01:18:53,623
We became friends.

1099
01:18:53,958 --> 01:18:55,164
Gradually.

1100
01:18:55,625 --> 01:18:57,241
I liked Jacques a lot.

1101
01:18:57,750 --> 01:18:59,741
And I think he felt the same.

1102
01:19:00,417 --> 01:19:02,579
Did you slip him notes too?

1103
01:19:02,750 --> 01:19:03,865
Something like that.

1104
01:19:04,333 --> 01:19:07,121
But it cost me my job.

1105
01:19:07,792 --> 01:19:09,157
What happened?

1106
01:19:11,125 --> 01:19:12,490
You know...

1107
01:19:14,083 --> 01:19:17,576
to understand the workings
of a multinational like G.T.I.,

1108
01:19:18,333 --> 01:19:21,997
you must attend one
of their marathon conferences

1109
01:19:22,167 --> 01:19:24,659
that start at 10 am
and finish at midnight.

1110
01:19:26,458 --> 01:19:30,156
Once a month, the president
leaves New York in his Boeing

1111
01:19:30,333 --> 01:19:32,620
with 40 of his closest employees.

1112
01:19:33,667 --> 01:19:35,157
They fly to Brussels.

1113
01:19:36,125 --> 01:19:39,083
There, on the 18th floor
of the G.T.I. building,

1114
01:19:39,917 --> 01:19:42,454
the branch mangers
are put in the hot seat.

1115
01:19:43,667 --> 01:19:45,499
It's a terrifying experience.

1116
01:19:46,083 --> 01:19:48,666
<i>A supernatural event.</i>

1117
01:20:27,417 --> 01:20:31,615
<i>That morning, we were looking
at the results of a branch, Texlico.</i>

1118
01:20:33,042 --> 01:20:34,908
<i>The results were disappointing.</i>

1119
01:20:35,167 --> 01:20:37,625
<i>The figures in the "real" column,</i>

1120
01:20:37,792 --> 01:20:40,910
<i>the real annual figures,</i>

1121
01:20:41,458 --> 01:20:45,782
<i>compared to the "forecast" column,
the budget,</i>

1122
01:20:46,167 --> 01:20:49,125
<i>clearly showed that the goals
were not achieved.</i>

1123
01:20:50,292 --> 01:20:55,037
<i>The accusing arrow showed that sales
had dropped by 2.6%,</i>

1124
01:20:55,292 --> 01:20:58,410
<i>despite almost 74 million dollars</i>

1125
01:20:58,583 --> 01:21:01,450
<i>invested in research
and development.</i>

1126
01:21:04,083 --> 01:21:06,745
<i>Overheads had increased by 8.6%.</i>

1127
01:21:09,917 --> 01:21:12,659
<i>Profits had dropped
by 36 million dollars,</i>

1128
01:21:12,833 --> 01:21:16,531
<i>29.41% less than the objective.</i>

1129
01:24:38,625 --> 01:24:41,788
<i>In such meetings, the monarch
reigning over the company</i>

1130
01:24:41,958 --> 01:24:45,371
<i>checks if his employees
walk the line.</i>

1131
01:24:45,667 --> 01:24:48,159
<i>He wants to see their faces
when they present their accounts.</i>

1132
01:24:48,333 --> 01:24:51,041
<i>Some managers
were on the brink of fainting,</i>

1133
01:24:51,292 --> 01:24:53,374
<i>others drank for 24 hours.</i>

1134
01:24:53,708 --> 01:24:55,915
<i>I was a manager hardened by the years</i>

1135
01:24:56,083 --> 01:24:58,666
<i>and I waited calmly
for him to attack.</i>

1136
01:25:50,083 --> 01:25:52,245
We are only American
with Americans.

1137
01:25:53,250 --> 01:25:55,617
We've always known how to be European
with the Europeans

1138
01:25:55,792 --> 01:25:58,659
and French, of course,
with the French.

1139
01:25:59,292 --> 01:26:00,782
We are here to coordinate

1140
01:26:00,958 --> 01:26:04,906
and make our subsidiaries profit
from our international structure.

1141
01:26:05,542 --> 01:26:07,328
Don't tire yourself out, Neil.

1142
01:26:07,708 --> 01:26:10,541
The newspapers explain that well
to the French.

1143
01:26:11,292 --> 01:26:14,580
To them, we are a foreign company
wanting to set up in France,

1144
01:26:14,792 --> 01:26:17,830
to avoid the tax borders
of the Common Market

1145
01:26:18,292 --> 01:26:21,990
and to profit from the advantages
reserved for French companies.

1146
01:26:23,833 --> 01:26:27,701
What's a press campaign?
Two days, one week.

1147
01:26:28,542 --> 01:26:31,705
An event in Africa
or the Middle East,

1148
01:26:32,167 --> 01:26:34,704
an election in view and it's over.

1149
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:39,041
I talked about
two main reasons earlier.

1150
01:26:40,083 --> 01:26:43,997
The second is the president
of French Electronics.

1151
01:26:45,208 --> 01:26:48,405
Benoit-Lambert is stubborn.
He won't capitulate.

1152
01:26:48,833 --> 01:26:50,699
We have bought Benoit-Lambert.

1153
01:26:51,042 --> 01:26:52,032
No.

1154
01:26:52,792 --> 01:26:54,703
For now, you have only bought
his son-in-law.

1155
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,289
We've bought a lousy company
called SCOVIM,

1156
01:26:59,542 --> 01:27:03,160
represented by the son-in-law
and Benoit-Lambert.

1157
01:27:04,167 --> 01:27:06,329
The son-in-law is worthless,

1158
01:27:07,250 --> 01:27:12,040
so it's clear to everyone
that if we paid 1.75 billion,

1159
01:27:12,292 --> 01:27:13,453
it was for Benoit-Lambert.

1160
01:27:13,792 --> 01:27:17,114
He's condemned
to a certain reciprocity

1161
01:27:17,292 --> 01:27:19,203
in the affair that interests us.

1162
01:27:20,042 --> 01:27:21,328
If he makes a move...

1163
01:27:23,917 --> 01:27:25,373
it'll be a scandal.

1164
01:27:26,375 --> 01:27:27,706
He'll make a move.

1165
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,368
Mr Saint-Claude,
to buy a man with power,

1166
01:27:47,125 --> 01:27:48,957
three conditions are required.

1167
01:27:50,125 --> 01:27:53,197
One: make sure he can be bought
and pay the price.

1168
01:27:54,750 --> 01:27:59,950
Two: guarantee absolute
and total discretion.

1169
01:28:01,625 --> 01:28:04,743
Three: eliminate any remorse

1170
01:28:05,625 --> 01:28:07,832
by cunningly suggesting

1171
01:28:08,667 --> 01:28:10,203
he is acting
in his country's interest.

1172
01:28:10,458 --> 01:28:13,951
They're usually very receptive
to that kind of suggestion.

1173
01:28:15,250 --> 01:28:18,117
We have respected
the first two conditions.

1174
01:28:19,500 --> 01:28:21,958
You've failed on the third.

1175
01:28:23,500 --> 01:28:27,789
The people we buy know they're
not acting in national interest.

1176
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:30,207
They pretend to believe it.

1177
01:28:31,792 --> 01:28:33,749
Benoit-Lambert refuses to Cheat.

1178
01:28:35,417 --> 01:28:38,409
There is a fourth condition
that escaped you, sir.

1179
01:28:38,667 --> 01:28:41,204
The meeting began
with "My dear Michel",

1180
01:28:42,042 --> 01:28:44,283
and ended with "Mr Saint-Claude".

1181
01:28:45,792 --> 01:28:49,285
In G.T.I. language,
that meant I was fired.

1182
01:28:53,167 --> 01:28:54,874
How do you explain
Benoit-Lambert's behaviour?

1183
01:28:55,042 --> 01:28:57,750
He was given an enormous bribe
by your company

1184
01:28:58,167 --> 01:29:00,033
for a service he refused to render.

1185
01:29:00,250 --> 01:29:04,039
I think he let us pay so that
he could prove the scandal.

1186
01:29:10,792 --> 01:29:12,658
I think your company outran him.

1187
01:29:13,292 --> 01:29:16,330
They used me to destroy
Benoit-Lambert's reputation

1188
01:29:18,417 --> 01:29:22,115
and they got rid of him
to prevent him from talking.

1189
01:29:22,292 --> 01:29:24,283
You're getting ahead of yourself.

1190
01:29:24,792 --> 01:29:28,706
The company was one step ahead
of Benoit-Lambert for the scandal.

1191
01:29:28,875 --> 01:29:30,832
But not to the point of killing.

1192
01:29:31,250 --> 01:29:32,240
No.

1193
01:29:32,667 --> 01:29:34,704
G.T.I. isn't the Mafia!

1194
01:29:38,750 --> 01:29:41,412
Do you know this building?

1195
01:29:42,750 --> 01:29:44,491
16 rue Cisco.

1196
01:29:45,542 --> 01:29:47,374
There's a dental practice
on the ground floor.

1197
01:29:47,875 --> 01:29:49,240
Doctor Riéra.

1198
01:29:50,042 --> 01:29:51,498
On the first floor, the Chatillons.

1199
01:29:54,042 --> 01:29:56,955
Second floor, an insurance expert,
Robert Duroc.

1200
01:29:57,958 --> 01:30:00,245
Third floor, Mr and Mrs Holstein.

1201
01:30:02,125 --> 01:30:04,241
No, nothing rings a bell.

1202
01:30:05,250 --> 01:30:06,240
Never mind.

1203
01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:07,786
Thank you.

1204
01:30:13,333 --> 01:30:14,323
Wait!

1205
01:30:20,167 --> 01:30:22,704
I think there was a Holstein
at G.T.I.

1206
01:30:24,042 --> 01:30:25,999
He was manager of Austria.

1207
01:30:26,708 --> 01:30:28,870
Around 1935.

1208
01:30:29,708 --> 01:30:31,870
But there's probably no connection.

1209
01:30:32,250 --> 01:30:33,331
Thank you.

1210
01:30:34,750 --> 01:30:39,290
I'm Joachim Holstein.
I was G.T.I.'s manager for Austria

1211
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:42,037
from 1930 to 1938.

1212
01:30:43,125 --> 01:30:45,992
I don't see how I can help you.

1213
01:30:46,333 --> 01:30:48,449
You knew Jacques Benoit-Lambert?

1214
01:30:50,250 --> 01:30:54,574
I've read about him in the press,
but I didn't know him personally.

1215
01:30:55,750 --> 01:30:56,956
Mr Holstein,

1216
01:30:58,250 --> 01:30:59,957
the man you claim not to know

1217
01:31:00,125 --> 01:31:04,039
was photographed a dozen times
entering this building.

1218
01:31:05,500 --> 01:31:09,824
There's a dental practice
and an insurance expert here,

1219
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,365
people come and go.

1220
01:31:11,542 --> 01:31:14,375
The Chatillons
have been away for 5 months,

1221
01:31:14,833 --> 01:31:18,906
the dental practice closes at 7pm,
the insurance company at 6pm.

1222
01:31:19,083 --> 01:31:22,280
Each time, Mr Benoit-Lambert
was photographed

1223
01:31:22,458 --> 01:31:25,291
entering the building at 9 pm
and leaving at midnight.

1224
01:31:25,833 --> 01:31:30,282
Mr Kerjean, no doubt you've a
good reason for solving this mystery,

1225
01:31:30,833 --> 01:31:34,781
but I repeat that your problem
has nothing to do with us.

1226
01:31:34,958 --> 01:31:38,451
No one visits us but our son
and daughter-in-law.

1227
01:31:39,375 --> 01:31:40,365
Very well.

1228
01:31:42,875 --> 01:31:46,448
In that case,
I apologise for bothering you.

1229
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:57,244
Mr Holstein,

1230
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:02,368
I'm convinced you know something,
but don't want to tell me.

1231
01:32:04,458 --> 01:32:07,450
I've no way of proving
my good faith,

1232
01:32:08,750 --> 01:32:10,787
and you've no reason to believe me,

1233
01:32:11,375 --> 01:32:12,536
but, you see,

1234
01:32:13,750 --> 01:32:17,448
great things have often occurred
because two men,

1235
01:32:17,625 --> 01:32:19,912
face to face,
looked at one another

1236
01:32:21,167 --> 01:32:24,489
and seized that indefinable moment

1237
01:32:24,708 --> 01:32:25,948
that is trust.

1238
01:32:26,958 --> 01:32:29,199
Without reason, without logic.

1239
01:32:31,208 --> 01:32:33,245
I think we missed that moment,
Mr Holstein.

1240
01:32:33,875 --> 01:32:36,537
That was a lovely speech, Mr Kerjean.

1241
01:32:36,875 --> 01:32:38,582
But it concerns great men.

1242
01:32:38,917 --> 01:32:42,990
I'm just a little man
who will die soon.

1243
01:32:46,500 --> 01:32:47,740
Mr Kerjean.

1244
01:32:48,542 --> 01:32:51,330
Please come up,
I'd like to tell you something.

1245
01:32:59,042 --> 01:33:01,124
- My wife.
- Hello, sir.

1246
01:33:03,500 --> 01:33:06,868
Should I conclude that
my indefinable moment was delayed?

1247
01:33:07,042 --> 01:33:11,331
No. My eyesight is not good enough
to spot a fleeting moment.

1248
01:33:12,042 --> 01:33:16,741
I just suppose that if you were
one of those who killed Jacques,

1249
01:33:17,333 --> 01:33:21,372
you would not have left
Without acting violently.

1250
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,708
I see that your brain is still alert.

1251
01:33:24,875 --> 01:33:27,162
Nothing wrong there, thank you.

1252
01:33:38,458 --> 01:33:39,914
Right, then.

1253
01:33:41,250 --> 01:33:43,412
They killed him an hour too early.

1254
01:33:44,125 --> 01:33:47,243
Jacques Benoit-Lambert came
to collect an important file,

1255
01:33:47,417 --> 01:33:49,328
they thought he already had it.

1256
01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:51,912
- Who is "they"?
- I've no idea.

1257
01:33:52,083 --> 01:33:54,950
It's obviously those
concerned by the file.

1258
01:33:55,250 --> 01:33:57,582
I don't think so.
Not directly.

1259
01:33:57,750 --> 01:33:58,831
Have a seat.

1260
01:34:21,750 --> 01:34:23,536
This file, Mr Kerjean,

1261
01:34:24,625 --> 01:34:26,912
is the history, during Word War II,

1262
01:34:27,083 --> 01:34:30,496
of a giant economic empire
called G.T.I.

1263
01:34:31,792 --> 01:34:35,365
I think this fragment of the past
will explain the present.

1264
01:34:36,167 --> 01:34:37,532
Sit next to me.

1265
01:34:47,125 --> 01:34:49,787
 <i>New York Times,</i>
August 41933.

1266
01:34:50,167 --> 01:34:52,158
<i>For the first time,
Adolf Hitler received</i>

1267
01:34:52,333 --> 01:34:55,530
<i>a delegation of American
businessmen at Berchtesgaden.</i>

1268
01:34:56,958 --> 01:35:02,203
Hitler received the president
of G.T.I.,

1269
01:35:02,458 --> 01:35:04,574
Arnold C. Adams.

1270
01:35:09,500 --> 01:35:10,535
Look.

1271
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:16,333
When questioned by the press
after this meeting,

1272
01:35:16,500 --> 01:35:18,411
Adams simply replied:

1273
01:35:19,083 --> 01:35:23,748
"Gentlemen, all I can say is that
Mr Adolf Hitler is impeccably dressed

1274
01:35:23,917 --> 01:35:26,284
"and he is a true gentleman."

1275
01:35:28,167 --> 01:35:31,205
The real reason for Adams
meeting with the Nazis

1276
01:35:31,458 --> 01:35:34,450
was discovered after the war,
in 1946,

1277
01:35:35,167 --> 01:35:38,910
during the interrogation
of general 88 Kurt von Schroeder,

1278
01:35:39,167 --> 01:35:41,078
who provided funding for the Gestapo.

1279
01:36:05,708 --> 01:36:07,494
Kurt von Schroeder,

1280
01:36:07,667 --> 01:36:11,331
from 1933 until war was declared,

1281
01:36:11,500 --> 01:36:17,200
you presided the board
of the American company G.T.I.

1282
01:36:17,625 --> 01:36:19,616
Who appointed you?

1283
01:36:22,875 --> 01:36:26,322
The president of G.T.I.,
Mr Arnold Adams.

1284
01:36:35,125 --> 01:36:38,197
Developing G.T.I.'s business
in Germany.

1285
01:36:38,708 --> 01:36:40,415
Reorganizing the subsidiaries

1286
01:36:41,500 --> 01:36:43,992
and signing new arms contracts.

1287
01:36:47,500 --> 01:36:51,073
From 1933 to 1939, thanks to you,

1288
01:36:51,458 --> 01:36:54,496
G.T.I. was given preferential
treatment by the Nazis,

1289
01:36:55,208 --> 01:36:59,702
as opposed to all other foreign
companies who were expropriated.

1290
01:36:59,875 --> 01:37:03,994
Why was the American company G.T.I.
not nationalized?

1291
01:37:06,875 --> 01:37:10,743
By nationalizing G.T.I.,
we would only gain a few factories.

1292
01:37:11,417 --> 01:37:15,741
But by keeping these factories
as German subsidiaries of G.T.I.,

1293
01:37:16,292 --> 01:37:20,581
we received all the American and
international high-technology patents

1294
01:37:21,250 --> 01:37:23,036
of which we were in great need.

1295
01:37:27,417 --> 01:37:29,829
Rapidly,
the balance sheets of G.T.I. Germany

1296
01:37:30,333 --> 01:37:32,449
showed immense profits.

1297
01:37:32,792 --> 01:37:34,954
How were these profits used?

1298
01:37:41,333 --> 01:37:42,698
In 1934,

1299
01:37:43,875 --> 01:37:49,041
I suggested to Mr Adams
to transfer the profits to America.

1300
01:37:50,542 --> 01:37:55,491
He said that he preferred to invest
in other German arms companies.

1301
01:37:56,833 --> 01:37:57,948
That's What I did.

1302
01:38:02,958 --> 01:38:04,790
We built new factories

1303
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:06,991
with some of the profits,

1304
01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:12,498
and invested the rest in 32%
of the shares of Focke-Wulf.

1305
01:38:14,917 --> 01:38:17,033
It should be pointed out
that Focke-Wulf

1306
01:38:17,458 --> 01:38:20,621
was the company that manufactured
the German bombers.

1307
01:38:24,750 --> 01:38:26,411
In your opinion, Mr Schroeder,

1308
01:38:27,083 --> 01:38:30,872
Why did G.T.I. invest its profits
in the Nazi war machine?

1309
01:38:36,583 --> 01:38:39,655
It was obvious that G.T.I.
and its president Adams

1310
01:38:40,125 --> 01:38:42,036
believed in a German victory.

1311
01:38:49,375 --> 01:38:54,120
Dr Gerhardt Kramer, you were
the director of the G.T.I. factories

1312
01:38:54,292 --> 01:38:56,624
in Germany
and the occupied countries

1313
01:38:56,792 --> 01:38:59,124
from 1933 until the end of the war.

1314
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:00,581
Yes.

1315
01:39:01,083 --> 01:39:04,951
In 1938, after the Anschluss,
Germany invaded Austria.

1316
01:39:05,708 --> 01:39:07,574
G.T.I.'s factories were subject

1317
01:39:07,750 --> 01:39:09,787
to the expropriation
of foreign companies

1318
01:39:09,958 --> 01:39:11,915
and the confiscation
of their property.

1319
01:39:16,917 --> 01:39:19,955
G.T.I.'s factories were spared
once again. Why?

1320
01:39:21,875 --> 01:39:25,118
Yes, I suggested
that G.T.I.'s factories benefit

1321
01:39:25,292 --> 01:39:26,999
from German nationality.

1322
01:39:29,167 --> 01:39:31,158
In total agreement
with President Adams?

1323
01:39:32,292 --> 01:39:33,407
Yes, of course.

1324
01:39:35,208 --> 01:39:37,370
G.T.I. became a German factory,

1325
01:39:37,875 --> 01:39:40,708
and you fired the director,
Joachim Holstein,

1326
01:39:41,250 --> 01:39:42,536
because he was a Jew.

1327
01:39:44,417 --> 01:39:47,705
I did not fire Joachim Holstein.

1328
01:39:52,833 --> 01:39:54,699
We will hear his testimony.

1329
01:39:59,042 --> 01:40:00,953
<i>I was fired in 2 minutes.</i>

1330
01:40:02,125 --> 01:40:05,538
Arnold Adams came into my office.
I looked him in the face.

1331
01:40:05,708 --> 01:40:08,541
For the first time,
he avoided eye contact.

1332
01:40:09,042 --> 01:40:13,411
He said: "Dear Joachim, I'm so sorry
about What's happening to you."

1333
01:40:14,125 --> 01:40:15,331
What's to be done?

1334
01:40:15,500 --> 01:40:20,165
It's not G.T.I.'s fault
if the world is divided into two.

1335
01:40:20,625 --> 01:40:23,617
By dealing with Hitler, I protect
our shareholders' interests

1336
01:40:23,792 --> 01:40:27,035
and prevent our subsidiaries
from being nationalized.

1337
01:40:27,208 --> 01:40:30,280
I'm sure we will meet again
very soon.

1338
01:40:31,125 --> 01:40:32,661
<i>I never saw him again.</i>

1339
01:40:38,375 --> 01:40:42,369
Doctor Kramer,
after the Americans entered WWII,

1340
01:40:43,292 --> 01:40:45,078
in Germany,
you continued to receive

1341
01:40:45,250 --> 01:40:48,493
military equipment
and raw materials from G.T.I.?

1342
01:41:00,875 --> 01:41:02,582
Excuse me, was that a question?

1343
01:41:07,333 --> 01:41:08,698
The answer is yes.

1344
01:41:15,750 --> 01:41:19,994
This equipment was manufactured
in the G.T.I. factory in Spain.

1345
01:41:20,167 --> 01:41:21,578
They shipped it to us.

1346
01:41:28,833 --> 01:41:32,952
What do you think
of G.T.I.'s behaviour during the war?

1347
01:41:36,625 --> 01:41:40,448
I think Mr Kurt von Schroeder
can answer that better than me.

1348
01:41:44,458 --> 01:41:49,578
May I remind you, sir,
that we are not American, but German.

1349
01:41:50,667 --> 01:41:54,615
Your question insinuates that G.T.I.
betrayed its country.

1350
01:41:56,250 --> 01:41:59,618
It served ours,
and that was enough for us.

1351
01:42:00,250 --> 01:42:01,081
<i>Thus,</i>

1352
01:42:01,458 --> 01:42:04,621
<i>German bombers manufactured
in Focke-Wulf's factories</i>

1353
01:42:04,792 --> 01:42:06,749
<i>with G. T. I. 's investments</i>

1354
01:42:06,958 --> 01:42:09,120
<i>bombed the Allies' ships.</i>

1355
01:42:09,417 --> 01:42:11,078
<i>G. T. I. also supplied the Allies</i>

1356
01:42:11,250 --> 01:42:13,537
<i>with Huff-Duff
radio direction finders</i>

1357
01:42:13,750 --> 01:42:16,742
<i>to protect them
from German submarines.</i>

1358
01:42:16,917 --> 01:42:19,079
<i>But the position of the Allies' ships</i>

1359
01:42:19,292 --> 01:42:21,659
<i>was relayed to the German submarines
by cables</i>

1360
01:42:21,875 --> 01:42:23,582
<i>installed by G. T. I.</i>

1361
01:42:26,750 --> 01:42:30,323
At that level, it's not business,
it's surrealism.

1362
01:42:31,375 --> 01:42:36,040
You can call President Adams
What you like, but he was no poet.

1363
01:42:36,875 --> 01:42:40,914
When he saw that Allied victory
was inevitable, he changed sides.

1364
01:42:41,417 --> 01:42:45,240
He put G.T.I. to work
for the Allies alone.

1365
01:42:45,667 --> 01:42:47,283
And in a colonel's uniform,

1366
01:42:47,625 --> 01:42:51,789
he accompanied the victorious army
through Western Europe to Germany,

1367
01:42:52,042 --> 01:42:55,330
and oversaw in person
the reopening of his factories.

1368
01:42:55,792 --> 01:42:56,623
But...

1369
01:42:57,583 --> 01:43:00,621
it's unbelievable. After the war,
no one spoke out to...

1370
01:43:00,792 --> 01:43:03,250
There were several.

1371
01:43:03,583 --> 01:43:07,952
The Justice Department issued
an indictment

1372
01:43:08,125 --> 01:43:10,492
of heavy charges.

1373
01:43:11,583 --> 01:43:14,826
The indictment is dated
March 10, 1947.

1374
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,322
It was never signed
and there was no trial.

1375
01:43:19,292 --> 01:43:21,784
This is when it is no longer surreal,

1376
01:43:22,250 --> 01:43:23,991
but Kafkaesque.

1377
01:43:24,792 --> 01:43:27,454
In 1967, the American government

1378
01:43:27,625 --> 01:43:29,957
paid 27 million dollars

1379
01:43:30,167 --> 01:43:34,456
in compensation for war damages
to G.T.I.'s factories in Germany,

1380
01:43:36,250 --> 01:43:37,866
and 5 million dollars

1381
01:43:38,208 --> 01:43:40,540
for Focke—Wulf's bomber factories,

1382
01:43:41,042 --> 01:43:43,784
on the pretext that it was
American property

1383
01:43:43,958 --> 01:43:46,199
destroyed by Allied bombings.

1384
01:43:46,667 --> 01:43:49,250
And President Adams
was never indicted?

1385
01:43:49,917 --> 01:43:53,080
Arnold Adams died in 1963.

1386
01:43:53,708 --> 01:43:54,914
In his bed.

1387
01:43:55,333 --> 01:43:58,246
He was awarded the highest
American distinction,

1388
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,742
France made him
Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour

1389
01:44:02,500 --> 01:44:05,947
and Belgium made him
Commander of the Order of Leopold.

1390
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,115
There.

1391
01:44:09,292 --> 01:44:11,784
It took me 40 years
to compile this dossier.

1392
01:44:13,167 --> 01:44:16,000
There are all the patent numbers,

1393
01:44:16,167 --> 01:44:19,865
and the plans supplied to both
the Germans and the Allies.

1394
01:44:20,542 --> 01:44:22,328
750 testimonies.

1395
01:44:22,500 --> 01:44:24,207
The minutes of every trial,

1396
01:44:24,375 --> 01:44:26,912
G.T.I.'s accounts during the war,

1397
01:44:27,083 --> 01:44:29,575
every bribe uncovered.

1398
01:44:30,917 --> 01:44:33,124
Does anyone know you have this file?

1399
01:44:34,917 --> 01:44:37,329
No one, because Benoit-Lambert
is dead.

1400
01:44:39,792 --> 01:44:41,203
It's for you.

1401
01:44:43,208 --> 01:44:46,997
Read it carefully and you will find
the key to the mystery.

1402
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:50,538
But beware
of making hasty conclusions.

1403
01:44:52,542 --> 01:44:54,328
Thank you for your trust.

1404
01:44:54,792 --> 01:44:56,874
It's a poisoned chalice, you know.

1405
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:00,788
Before you take it,
you must be aware

1406
01:45:01,167 --> 01:45:03,875
that until this is made public,

1407
01:45:04,125 --> 01:45:08,119
until it's published,
you'll either be in danger...

1408
01:45:09,208 --> 01:45:10,323
or a billionaire.

1409
01:45:14,292 --> 01:45:16,203
Reasonably and logically,

1410
01:45:16,375 --> 01:45:18,833
What do you think I'll do,
Mr Holstein?

1411
01:45:23,125 --> 01:45:24,536
You're hesitating?

1412
01:45:24,958 --> 01:45:25,948
No.

1413
01:45:26,125 --> 01:45:27,490
I'm looking.

1414
01:45:28,417 --> 01:45:29,907
How did you put it?

1415
01:45:30,792 --> 01:45:34,080
That indefinable moment
that is trust,

1416
01:45:34,750 --> 01:45:36,206
without reason,

1417
01:45:36,958 --> 01:45:38,494
and logic.

1418
01:46:07,083 --> 01:46:09,950
I guess I should put
my hands in the air.

1419
01:46:10,250 --> 01:46:12,116
Isn't that what you do
in such situations?

1420
01:46:12,292 --> 01:46:13,498
That's right.

1421
01:46:34,167 --> 01:46:35,783
Go and sit over there.

1422
01:47:09,750 --> 01:47:11,081
How shameful.

1423
01:47:12,333 --> 01:47:15,075
For months, an organization
of professionals

1424
01:47:15,250 --> 01:47:18,868
has been trying to discover
What Benoit-Lambert was up to.

1425
01:47:19,625 --> 01:47:22,242
What bomb he wanted to explode.

1426
01:47:23,167 --> 01:47:26,614
And it's an amateur,
a little reporter,

1427
01:47:27,042 --> 01:47:28,999
who discovers the truth.

1428
01:47:29,333 --> 01:47:31,950
You can always say
you discovered it, because...

1429
01:47:32,292 --> 01:47:33,498
I imagine you'll get rid of me.

1430
01:47:34,292 --> 01:47:35,282
Of course.

1431
01:47:36,333 --> 01:47:38,074
Tell me your name.
You owe me that.

1432
01:47:39,042 --> 01:47:41,875
My name is Hankins.
Stan Hankins.

1433
01:47:42,250 --> 01:47:45,322
Whatever.
A stupid question.

1434
01:47:45,667 --> 01:47:47,874
Like your behaviour in this affair.

1435
01:47:48,125 --> 01:47:49,240
Yes, I know.

1436
01:47:50,250 --> 01:47:53,288
First, you used me
to destroy JBL morally

1437
01:47:53,458 --> 01:47:56,826
and make him suicidal.

1438
01:47:57,083 --> 01:47:58,323
That was where my role ended.

1439
01:47:58,708 --> 01:47:59,948
Exact.

1440
01:48:00,875 --> 01:48:04,698
You wanted your role to continue,
and you're not up to it.

1441
01:48:05,417 --> 01:48:07,749
You'll disappear,
having understood nothing.

1442
01:48:08,125 --> 01:48:09,286
You're wrong.

1443
01:48:10,708 --> 01:48:14,201
A few minutes ago,
I put the pieces together.

1444
01:48:15,458 --> 01:48:16,448
One:

1445
01:48:17,458 --> 01:48:19,870
Why an economic empire
like G.T.I. is hell-bent on acquiring

1446
01:48:20,042 --> 01:48:21,749
the little French Electronics,

1447
01:48:21,917 --> 01:48:24,329
when they have the same factories
but better.

1448
01:48:25,583 --> 01:48:27,415
Because the laws of its country

1449
01:48:27,792 --> 01:48:30,204
prevent it from obtaining
the huge market

1450
01:48:30,792 --> 01:48:32,157
of a state,

1451
01:48:32,833 --> 01:48:34,574
that I will call X.

1452
01:48:35,125 --> 01:48:38,698
They look for a country who has
no problem with the state X

1453
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:40,661
from where he could supply his client

1454
01:48:41,208 --> 01:48:43,870
Without being bothered.
The country is France,

1455
01:48:44,500 --> 01:48:46,582
the factory already exists.

1456
01:48:46,750 --> 01:48:49,082
French Electronics will be a cover.

1457
01:48:51,083 --> 01:48:51,914
Two:

1458
01:48:52,708 --> 01:48:55,291
the usual procedure of bribes
is not enough,

1459
01:48:56,667 --> 01:48:58,783
so G.T.I. tells its client X:

1460
01:48:59,083 --> 01:49:00,494
"I can supply you,

1461
01:49:01,167 --> 01:49:03,750
"but there is an obstacle
I can't overcome."

1462
01:49:05,292 --> 01:49:06,373
Three:

1463
01:49:07,125 --> 01:49:08,615
the state X in question

1464
01:49:09,167 --> 01:49:12,239
orders its secret services
or a similar organization

1465
01:49:13,042 --> 01:49:14,749
to remove the obstacle.

1466
01:49:16,208 --> 01:49:17,198
And...

1467
01:49:18,458 --> 01:49:19,539
a man,

1468
01:49:20,125 --> 01:49:22,867
called Hankins for this mission,

1469
01:49:23,500 --> 01:49:24,990
comes to France.

1470
01:49:28,625 --> 01:49:29,786
And state X

1471
01:49:30,458 --> 01:49:31,289
is...

1472
01:49:32,708 --> 01:49:34,949
Second stupid question.

1473
01:49:35,333 --> 01:49:36,494
What a shame.

1474
01:49:37,458 --> 01:49:39,620
A piece is missing from my puzzle.

1475
01:49:41,583 --> 01:49:46,202
We lost your trace 2 days ago,
due to a technical error.

1476
01:49:46,375 --> 01:49:48,537
No, I lost the men following me.

1477
01:49:48,750 --> 01:49:51,742
Tell them that the building
I entered

1478
01:49:51,917 --> 01:49:53,874
had 2 exits.
- Whatever.

1479
01:49:55,208 --> 01:49:58,621
During those 2 days,
you got your hands on this file.

1480
01:50:00,625 --> 01:50:02,207
Who gave it to you?

1481
01:50:04,500 --> 01:50:06,207
Ah, right.

1482
01:50:06,917 --> 01:50:11,366
Now I understand why you weren't
"expeditious" from the start.

1483
01:50:11,542 --> 01:50:12,907
Stay where you are!

1484
01:50:18,458 --> 01:50:20,324
Who gave you this file?

1485
01:50:23,417 --> 01:50:25,829
May I ask you

1486
01:50:26,167 --> 01:50:28,204
how your little sister is?

1487
01:50:30,875 --> 01:50:33,116
That means
you don't want to answer.

1488
01:50:33,458 --> 01:50:34,619
There you go.

1489
01:50:34,833 --> 01:50:37,040
I no longer have the monopoly
of stupid questions.

1490
01:50:37,417 --> 01:50:39,203
You're wrong, Mr Kerjean.

1491
01:50:39,458 --> 01:50:41,040
We can negotiate.

1492
01:50:41,667 --> 01:50:42,907
Negotiate what?

1493
01:50:43,583 --> 01:50:44,789
Your life.

1494
01:50:45,375 --> 01:50:47,992
In exchange for a name
and an address.

1495
01:50:49,208 --> 01:50:52,621
And the only guarantee
you'll give me is your word.

1496
01:50:53,625 --> 01:50:56,287
You're in no position
to make demands.

1497
01:50:56,750 --> 01:50:58,991
Having said that,
think for a moment.

1498
01:50:59,917 --> 01:51:02,409
You know that the man you name

1499
01:51:02,917 --> 01:51:06,581
will be subject to some, let's say,
unpleasant moments.

1500
01:51:07,208 --> 01:51:10,781
You'll no longer represent
a danger for us.

1501
01:51:11,083 --> 01:51:14,155
You won't boast about
exchanging your life for his.

1502
01:51:14,708 --> 01:51:17,040
You know that if I disappear,
I'm not alone.

1503
01:51:17,750 --> 01:51:20,617
The newspaper and my team
know about my investigation.

1504
01:51:20,875 --> 01:51:22,240
They'll want to know
what happened.

1505
01:51:22,667 --> 01:51:25,125
We've thought about all that,
Mr Kerjean.

1506
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,411
There's a little letter

1507
01:51:27,625 --> 01:51:28,990
that explains everything.

1508
01:51:29,167 --> 01:51:31,534
You're down,
suffering from depression.

1509
01:51:31,750 --> 01:51:34,993
You invented information,
falsified documents.

1510
01:51:35,333 --> 01:51:37,574
You never got over
the part you played

1511
01:51:37,750 --> 01:51:39,366
for Benoit-Lambert's death.

1512
01:51:39,542 --> 01:51:42,580
You typed this on your own typewriter

1513
01:51:42,792 --> 01:51:44,499
before killing yourself.

1514
01:51:45,875 --> 01:51:46,956
That's right.

1515
01:51:52,750 --> 01:51:53,911
Well?

1516
01:51:57,917 --> 01:51:59,453
I won't be able to write it...

1517
01:52:02,208 --> 01:52:03,494
I accept

1518
01:52:04,583 --> 01:52:06,620
Give me some paper.
I'll write it.

1519
01:53:33,417 --> 01:53:34,407
Hello?

1520
01:53:34,833 --> 01:53:37,200
<i>Hello, Bayen, it's Paul Kerjean.</i>

1521
01:53:37,375 --> 01:53:40,447
The one time I go to bed early!
Really!

1522
01:53:40,833 --> 01:53:43,325
I tried to contact you all week.
Where were you?

1523
01:53:43,625 --> 01:53:46,663
Listen, it's urgent
and I haven't got long,

1524
01:53:47,167 --> 01:53:49,454
I have to leave Paris for a while.

1525
01:53:50,042 --> 01:53:50,907
What's wrong?

1526
01:53:51,292 --> 01:53:52,157
I've just killed a man.

1527
01:53:52,375 --> 01:53:54,787
What! Who? Where?

1528
01:53:54,958 --> 01:53:56,869
<i>I haven't got time to explain.</i>

1529
01:53:57,208 --> 01:53:58,289
Tonight,

1530
01:53:58,458 --> 01:54:01,655
I just want you to know
I have an explosive dossier

1531
01:54:02,083 --> 01:54:04,495
and the whole truth about
the Benoit-Lambert affair.

1532
01:54:04,667 --> 01:54:07,659
I need at least six pages
in Monday's edition.

1533
01:54:07,833 --> 01:54:09,073
Sort that out with Hartmann.

1534
01:54:09,292 --> 01:54:10,657
When will your article be ready?

1535
01:54:10,875 --> 01:54:13,492
If I can stay awake,
I'll write it tonight.

1536
01:54:13,667 --> 01:54:15,783
Then I'll accept everything.
The police,

1537
01:54:15,958 --> 01:54:18,825
a trial, judges,
but first, the article.

1538
01:54:19,042 --> 01:54:21,579
Where are you?
Where can I call you?

1539
01:54:21,792 --> 01:54:24,534
I'll call you.
Good evening.

1540
01:54:33,458 --> 01:54:34,493
Hello.

1541
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:36,786
<i>Mr Guérande, it's Paul.</i>

1542
01:54:37,667 --> 01:54:38,657
Paul!

1543
01:54:39,458 --> 01:54:41,415
We haven't heard from you...

1544
01:54:41,958 --> 01:54:44,165
<i>I couldn't call
Without putting you at risk.</i>

1545
01:54:44,958 --> 01:54:48,030
- How is Bastien?
- Fine. He's already in bed.

1546
01:54:48,542 --> 01:54:51,079
Tell Helene I'm grateful
for her patience

1547
01:54:51,500 --> 01:54:54,037
and that she can return
to Paris soon.

1548
01:54:54,583 --> 01:54:55,698
How are you, Paul?

1549
01:54:55,917 --> 01:54:57,703
Fine. I'm alright.

1550
01:54:58,958 --> 01:55:00,995
Mr Guérande,
I need one last favour.

1551
01:55:01,208 --> 01:55:05,031
I'll be at the Sirene Hotel
in Saint-Paul-le-Village at 2 am.

1552
01:55:05,417 --> 01:55:07,499
It's about 30 kilometers
from Vesons.

1553
01:55:07,708 --> 01:55:09,790
-  Exactly 35.
 <i> - That's right.</i>

1554
01:55:10,542 --> 01:55:13,580
I need a typewriter,
a lot of paper...

1555
01:55:15,250 --> 01:55:16,240
Oh, no!

1556
01:55:16,750 --> 01:55:18,957
I won't have the strength to type.
Have you got a recorder?

1557
01:55:19,167 --> 01:55:22,080
The little one you gave me last year.

1558
01:55:22,500 --> 01:55:25,663
I'm ashamed, Paul,
I've never used it.

1559
01:55:26,042 --> 01:55:28,909
Perfect. Ask Sylvestre
or someone from the paper

1560
01:55:29,083 --> 01:55:32,576
to bring me that
and 10 cassettes to the Siréne Hotel.

1561
01:55:32,792 --> 01:55:33,998
Of course.

1562
01:55:34,792 --> 01:55:36,248
Paul, what's going on?

1563
01:55:36,583 --> 01:55:38,165
I'll tell you everything,
Mr Guérande.

1564
01:55:38,333 --> 01:55:42,031
Don't forget, the Siréne Hotel
in Saint-Paul-le-Village.

1565
01:55:42,667 --> 01:55:45,500
<i>And a “We of coffee.
Lots of coffee...</i>

1566
01:55:45,667 --> 01:55:46,748
Thank you.

1567
01:56:23,042 --> 01:56:24,328
I'd like a room.

1568
01:56:25,167 --> 01:56:26,498
How many nights?

1569
01:56:27,958 --> 01:56:29,164
Three or four nights.

1570
01:56:30,792 --> 01:56:32,658
Room 26, second floor.

1571
01:56:44,500 --> 01:56:46,958
Room 17 wouldn't happen to be free?

1572
01:56:47,125 --> 01:56:49,583
Yes, but it's a double.
Do you mind?

1573
01:56:50,250 --> 01:56:51,411
That's fine.

1574
01:56:54,750 --> 01:56:58,163
Someone will bring me
a parcel. Please tell...

1575
01:56:58,333 --> 01:57:00,370
Someone's waiting for you.

1576
01:57:12,958 --> 01:57:14,198
My poor Héléne,

1577
01:57:15,083 --> 01:57:17,370
I've been a pain
from start to finish.

1578
01:57:17,708 --> 01:57:19,119
Paul, please!

1579
01:57:20,125 --> 01:57:22,082
Why did you choose this hotel?

1580
01:57:23,958 --> 01:57:26,575
I needed a godforsaken place
far from Paris

1581
01:57:28,083 --> 01:57:31,906
and not too close to you,
to avoid trouble.

1582
01:57:37,292 --> 01:57:39,033
What's going on, Paul?

1583
01:57:39,917 --> 01:57:42,909
I'm going to spend the night
on an article. A very long one.

1584
01:57:43,083 --> 01:57:45,825
You can read all about it on Monday.

1585
01:57:49,750 --> 01:57:51,491
Is that all you can tell me?

1586
01:57:51,875 --> 01:57:54,537
Yes, because it's complicated

1587
01:57:56,125 --> 01:57:57,866
and a very long story.

1588
01:58:09,208 --> 01:58:11,700
- Are you expecting someone?
- I hope not.

1589
01:58:14,667 --> 01:58:19,082
- Room 17 is just a coincidence?
- That's right.

1590
01:58:25,500 --> 01:58:27,207
I'm staying with you tonight.

1591
01:58:27,958 --> 01:58:30,950
- Listen, Héléne...
- I'll keep out of your way.

1592
01:58:31,458 --> 01:58:33,165
You won't even know I'm here.

1593
01:58:33,333 --> 01:58:36,246
I'm not going to learn the news
from the paper.

1594
01:58:42,333 --> 01:58:44,074
Title in bold characters:

1595
01:58:44,375 --> 01:58:46,958
A thousand billion dollars.

1596
01:58:48,458 --> 01:58:50,119
My name is Paul Kerjean.

1597
01:58:50,500 --> 01:58:52,741
I'm a special correspondent.

1598
01:58:53,625 --> 01:58:57,949
It's a grand title because we go
where the events take place,

1599
01:58:58,125 --> 01:58:59,991
where men are fighting

1600
01:59:00,167 --> 01:59:01,498
and die.

1601
01:59:03,042 --> 01:59:04,032
Tonight,

1602
01:59:05,042 --> 01:59:07,784
I survived the most pitiless war,

1603
01:59:08,375 --> 01:59:10,036
the economic war,

1604
01:59:10,375 --> 01:59:12,787
Where generals wear
expensive striped suits

1605
01:59:12,958 --> 01:59:14,699
and their weapon

1606
01:59:14,875 --> 01:59:17,367
is a classy briefcase.

1607
01:59:19,333 --> 01:59:21,324
Behind three discreet initials,

1608
01:59:21,792 --> 01:59:25,035
a letter, dot, a letter, dot,
a letter, dot,

1609
01:59:25,708 --> 01:59:29,622
hides the biggest machine
to crush borders,

1610
01:59:29,792 --> 01:59:32,500
states, collective interests,

1611
01:59:33,167 --> 01:59:35,124
with the simple goal
of producing more,

1612
01:59:35,500 --> 01:59:37,332
forever creating new markets

1613
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,286
and to sell!

1614
01:59:40,292 --> 01:59:41,782
I was confronted

1615
01:59:42,917 --> 01:59:46,285
with this challenge to the world.

1616
01:59:47,542 --> 01:59:50,079
<i>If the dynamics
and globalization of business</i>

1617
01:59:50,250 --> 01:59:51,911
<i>is in the nature of things,</i>

1618
01:59:52,583 --> 01:59:55,166
<i>it is barely tolerable
that it profits</i>

1619
01:59:55,333 --> 01:59:57,745
<i>thirty companies in the world.</i>

1620
01:59:58,208 --> 02:00:00,575
<i>States and their governments</i>

1621
02:00:01,250 --> 02:00:03,833
<i>should control them,
anticipate them,</i>

1622
02:00:04,292 --> 02:00:06,829
<i>define them and dominate them...</i>

1623
02:00:07,500 --> 02:00:10,618
<i>Given the absence of this policy
or a lack of desire,</i>

1624
02:00:11,167 --> 02:00:13,454
<i>these economic empires
look down upon us,</i>

1625
02:00:13,625 --> 02:00:16,617
<i>in all legality, from their summits.</i>

1626
02:00:17,083 --> 02:00:19,450
<i>They look at us
with our little flags,</i>

1627
02:00:19,917 --> 02:00:22,158
<i>our borders, our big bombs,</i>

1628
02:00:22,500 --> 02:00:25,367
<i>our patriotism, our ideologies,</i>

1629
02:00:25,750 --> 02:00:27,866
<i>our quarrels and our folklore,</i>

1630
02:00:28,250 --> 02:00:31,117
<i>while at the bottom
of their annual balance sheets</i>

1631
02:00:31,333 --> 02:00:34,246
<i>is written
a thousand billion dollars.</i>

1632
02:01:37,958 --> 02:01:39,073
You know,

1633
02:01:40,917 --> 02:01:44,160
room 17 wasn't a coincidence.

1634
02:01:46,875 --> 02:01:48,115
Do you remember?

1635
02:01:49,792 --> 02:01:50,827
Everything.

1636
02:01:51,833 --> 02:01:54,040
Leaving after the ceremony,

1637
02:01:54,958 --> 02:01:57,120
your delight in discovering Venice,

1638
02:01:57,792 --> 02:02:00,989
the car breaking down
35 kilometers from Vesons,

1639
02:02:01,625 --> 02:02:04,458
walking 3 kilometers to Saint-Paul,

1640
02:02:05,625 --> 02:02:07,332
the Siréne Hotel,

1641
02:02:08,417 --> 02:02:10,283
room 17,

1642
02:02:13,250 --> 02:02:15,491
the blown lightbulb, unpacking,

1643
02:02:15,667 --> 02:02:19,661
you laughing hysterically
when I searched for you in the dark!

1644
02:02:22,875 --> 02:02:24,491
You've finished typing it?

1645
02:02:31,875 --> 02:02:35,573
Paul, what happened to us?

1646
02:02:37,667 --> 02:02:39,374
One day, Mr Guérande told me

1647
02:02:41,125 --> 02:02:43,492
that the city made us sick.

1648
02:02:51,625 --> 02:02:53,115
<i>- La Tribune?
- I'm listening.</i>

1649
02:02:53,292 --> 02:02:55,499
Pierre Ba yen for Paul Kerjean.

1650
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,741
 <i> - This is Bayen.</i>
- Bayen...

1651
02:03:01,583 --> 02:03:03,165
my article's finished.

1652
02:03:03,833 --> 02:03:04,948
<i>Where are you?</i>

1653
02:03:05,958 --> 02:03:08,120
It doesn't matter.
You'll get it this morning.

1654
02:03:08,292 --> 02:03:11,330
<i>Tell me Where you are.
Don't you trust me?</i>

1655
02:03:11,500 --> 02:03:13,332
I don't trust telephones.

1656
02:03:14,542 --> 02:03:17,125
Did you talk to Hartmann?
He'll publish it on Monday?

1657
02:03:17,583 --> 02:03:18,869
Listen, Kerjean,

1658
02:03:19,417 --> 02:03:21,408
I'm with Mr Hartmann.

1659
02:03:21,917 --> 02:03:23,749
You're causing him problems.

1660
02:03:23,917 --> 02:03:25,578
You must come and see him.

1661
02:03:25,833 --> 02:03:29,576
<i>I won't come back
until my article's published.</i>

1662
02:03:29,750 --> 02:03:33,072
<i>If Hartmann wants to speak to me,
put him on the phone.</i>

1663
02:03:37,208 --> 02:03:39,415
Why do you refuse to come, Paul?

1664
02:03:40,042 --> 02:03:41,624
<i>As a precaution.</i>

1665
02:03:41,792 --> 02:03:46,832
Listen, you're tired, overworked,
this investigation has exhausted you,

1666
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,537
you see danger everywhere,
killers on your heels,

1667
02:03:49,708 --> 02:03:52,325
murders.
Believe me, you've nothing to fear.

1668
02:03:52,500 --> 02:03:54,207
Come and see me.
We'll talk calmly,

1669
02:03:54,375 --> 02:03:56,491
and you'll see you've nothing
to worry about.

1670
02:03:56,833 --> 02:03:59,074
It's not true!
You're treating me like a fool.

1671
02:03:59,375 --> 02:04:02,663
I didn't talk about madness,
but about working too hard.

1672
02:04:02,833 --> 02:04:06,326
You explain that very well
in the letter we found at yours

1673
02:04:06,625 --> 02:04:07,615
on the typewriter.

1674
02:04:08,083 --> 02:04:10,996
If you found that letter,

1675
02:04:11,833 --> 02:04:14,165
you found the body of the man
who came to kill me.

1676
02:04:15,875 --> 02:04:16,956
<i>Hello...</i>

1677
02:04:17,708 --> 02:04:19,574
Paul, we contacted the police,

1678
02:04:19,750 --> 02:04:21,707
and they went to yours
this morning.

1679
02:04:22,042 --> 02:04:23,248
You see!

1680
02:04:23,417 --> 02:04:26,159
<i>There was no body
in your living</i> room,

1681
02:04:26,583 --> 02:04:29,166
<i>no blood, no mess.</i>

1682
02:04:30,333 --> 02:04:31,744
But they found your letter.

1683
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:33,786
His accomplices cleaned up!

1684
02:04:34,125 --> 02:04:36,082
Yes, of course...

1685
02:04:36,792 --> 02:04:37,873
<i>Mr Hartmann,</i>

1686
02:04:38,583 --> 02:04:39,573
<i>listen to me.</i>

1687
02:04:41,042 --> 02:04:43,830
I nearly died investigating,

1688
02:04:45,208 --> 02:04:49,031
and until my article is published,
I'm still in danger.

1689
02:04:49,667 --> 02:04:52,705
I don't have time to explain,
but I'm asking you to trust me.

1690
02:04:52,875 --> 02:04:57,449
I have an explosive 700—page dossier
that proves everything in my article.

1691
02:04:57,917 --> 02:04:59,954
Bring me the dossier
and your article.

1692
02:05:00,125 --> 02:05:02,366
I will ask a calmer colleague

1693
02:05:02,875 --> 02:05:05,367
to Check it out
and I'll see what I can do.

1694
02:05:05,542 --> 02:05:07,874
I won't publish
your article on Monday.

1695
02:05:08,125 --> 02:05:10,412
Alright.
I'll give it to someone else.

1696
02:05:10,792 --> 02:05:13,580
In your shoes,
I wouldn't do that, Paul.

1697
02:05:14,042 --> 02:05:17,239
Everyone will wonder
Why we didn't publish it.

1698
02:05:17,417 --> 02:05:22,867
They'll ask us, check your dossier
and the result will be the same.

1699
02:05:23,042 --> 02:05:27,115
Listen, bring us everything
and go and rest,

1700
02:05:27,583 --> 02:05:29,415
that's what you need.

1701
02:05:29,750 --> 02:05:31,366
Tell me, Mr Hartmann,

1702
02:05:32,125 --> 02:05:35,038
are you sure that <i> LaTribune</i>
doesn't belong to G.T.I.?

1703
02:05:35,250 --> 02:05:37,412
Your question is stupid
and insulting!

1704
02:05:45,250 --> 02:05:46,365
There you go.

1705
02:05:52,542 --> 02:05:53,748
Héléne...

1706
02:05:55,417 --> 02:05:57,033
I'm done for.

1707
02:05:57,417 --> 02:05:59,454
They'll publish your article.

1708
02:05:59,625 --> 02:06:01,491
Stop it, it's useless.

1709
02:06:02,250 --> 02:06:05,538
You know them. They don't want
to stick their necks out.

1710
02:06:05,708 --> 02:06:08,951
Promise not to leave this room
until I call you.

1711
02:06:09,333 --> 02:06:10,789
That's all I ask.

1712
02:06:11,875 --> 02:06:12,865
Héléne!

1713
02:06:15,125 --> 02:06:17,583
Helene, you're going
into the eye of the storm.

1714
02:06:17,750 --> 02:06:20,117
Let me try, Paul,
What's the risk?

1715
02:06:20,750 --> 02:06:23,162
Don't move from here, I'll call you.

1716
02:06:52,750 --> 02:06:53,740
Hello?

1717
02:06:54,208 --> 02:06:55,539
<i>Paul, it's Héléne.</i>

1718
02:06:55,708 --> 02:06:56,994
Are you crazy?

1719
02:06:57,167 --> 02:06:59,875
You left at 9am, it's midnight.
What happened?

1720
02:07:00,792 --> 02:07:04,706
<i>Your article will be in every kiosk
in France on Monday.</i>

1721
02:07:04,875 --> 02:07:06,707
<i>400,000 copies.</i>

1722
02:07:07,708 --> 02:07:10,871
Don't tell me the name of the paper.

1723
02:07:11,333 --> 02:07:12,619
Let me guess.

1724
02:07:13,208 --> 02:07:14,869
400,000 copies is...

1725
02:07:15,542 --> 02:07:17,249
No, not at all.

1726
02:07:18,500 --> 02:07:19,490
No.

1727
02:07:20,542 --> 02:07:22,909
You're not even close.

1728
02:07:24,125 --> 02:07:28,449
No. Don't wear yourself out,
you'll never guess.

1729
02:07:29,792 --> 02:07:32,989
Listen to something
that will give you a clue...

1730
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:44,365
<i>Le Courrier de Vesons.</i>

1731
02:07:45,833 --> 02:07:48,040
But you said 400,000 copies.

1732
02:07:48,458 --> 02:07:51,576
Guérande used 14 months' worth
of paper for one edition.

1733
02:07:51,750 --> 02:07:53,991
For just your article,
on 6 pages.

1734
02:07:54,458 --> 02:07:55,289
Happy?

1735
02:07:55,667 --> 02:07:56,998
Héléne, you're...

1736
02:07:58,458 --> 02:07:59,869
You're wonderful!

1737
02:08:00,083 --> 02:08:01,323
Poor Mr Guérande,

1738
02:08:01,667 --> 02:08:03,829
he wanted to differ
from the Parisian press.

1739
02:08:04,208 --> 02:08:05,949
Germaine, you're in the way...

1740
02:08:06,125 --> 02:08:07,240
Just listen to him!

1741
02:08:07,417 --> 02:08:11,081
- Faster, Sylvestre, faster.
- I can't go any faster.

1742
02:08:11,250 --> 02:08:13,537
He's having a great time.
Want to talk to him?

1743
02:08:14,042 --> 02:08:17,285
No. I wouldn't really know
what to say to him.

1744
02:08:17,458 --> 02:08:19,040
He's got me out of a real mess.

1745
02:08:19,250 --> 02:08:20,536
See you later, Paul.

1746
02:08:21,667 --> 02:08:23,157
Hello...
Don't hang up.

1747
02:08:25,458 --> 02:08:26,948
Are you with someone?

1748
02:08:27,250 --> 02:08:29,457
Who would I be with in this room?

1749
02:08:29,792 --> 02:08:30,953
No, I mean...

1750
02:08:32,208 --> 02:08:33,664
Is there anyone in your life?

1751
02:08:34,125 --> 02:08:35,115
No.

1752
02:08:36,625 --> 02:08:38,912
And with what's happened,
if there was,

1753
02:08:39,083 --> 02:08:41,700
they'd have given me the boot
a long time ago.

1754
02:08:42,500 --> 02:08:44,992
Perhaps you could stay with us
for a while.

1755
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,786
<i>Bastien would be so happy.</i>

1756
02:08:47,958 --> 02:08:50,290
Well, if it would
make Bastien happy...

1757
02:08:51,125 --> 02:08:52,160
I agree.

1758
02:08:52,542 --> 02:08:56,206
What do you want to do afterwards?

1759
02:09:07,792 --> 02:09:09,248
<i>Paul, are you still there?</i>

1760
02:09:09,542 --> 02:09:11,283
Yes, I'm still here.

1761
02:09:12,542 --> 02:09:14,954
I was thinking about
What you asked me.

1762
02:09:16,792 --> 02:09:17,827
Afterwards...

1763
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:21,741
well, afterwards,

1764
02:09:21,917 --> 02:09:24,955
I think I'll try to join
the human race.

1765
02:09:27,042 --> 02:09:28,453
Come quickly!

1766
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:02,991
