00:00:21,167 --> 00:00:22,667
Hello, La Tribune.
6
00:00:22,958 --> 00:00:25,667
I'd like to speak
to Mr Paul Kerjean, please.
7
00:00:25,875 --> 00:00:27,042
Who's calling?
8
00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:28,875
It's personal.
9
00:00:29,042 --> 00:00:30,292
Hold the line.
10
00:00:32,167 --> 00:00:34,875
You are connected to La Tribune,

We have registered your call,
13
00:00:40,292 --> 00:00:42,708
please hold the line.
Thank you.

The person you have called is busy,
16
00:01:16,208 --> 00:01:17,833
please hold.
17
00:01:18,375 --> 00:01:19,667
Thank you.
18
00:01:58,917 --> 00:02:01,792
The person you have called is busy.
19
00:02:01,958 --> 00:02:06,583
Thank you for calling.
Please hold.
20
00:02:37,208 --> 00:02:39,292
Paul Kerjean.
Who's calling?
21
00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:41,625
My name is of no importance.
22
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:12,875
Stay there.
23
00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:16,208
Stay there while we talk.
24
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:19,500
I'm too old to play Fantomas.
25
00:03:20,125 --> 00:03:22,292
Stop being smart, Kerjean.
26
00:03:22,458 --> 00:03:25,708
I have to be careful.
You'll understand when I explain.
27
00:03:26,042 --> 00:03:27,417
I'm listening.
28
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,583
What do you know
about Jacques Be no it-Lambert?
29
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:33,500
I thought you were giving me
information.
30
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:35,333
Don't annoy me, answer.
31
00:03:36,833 --> 00:03:37,833
Alright.
32
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:41,417
He's elegant, rich,
from a wealthy family,
33
00:03:41,792 --> 00:03:43,750
and a political superstar.
34
00:03:44,083 --> 00:03:47,000
Favourite sports: golf and swimming.
35
00:03:47,292 --> 00:03:48,292
Is that enough?
36
00:03:48,542 --> 00:03:53,167
If that's all you know, it's not much
and it's not quite true.
37
00:03:56,042 --> 00:03:57,208
What's not true?
38
00:03:57,625 --> 00:04:00,125
You said he was from a wealthy family
and rich.
39
00:04:00,458 --> 00:04:03,917
- His family's not wealthy?
- It is. But he's not rich.
40
00:04:04,208 --> 00:04:05,708
Not anymore.
41
00:04:05,958 --> 00:04:08,875
He needs 750 million
before the end of the year.
42
00:04:09,042 --> 00:04:10,542
He's a desperate man.
43
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:12,708
You mean he's ruined?
44
00:04:13,083 --> 00:04:17,750
I said he needed 750 million,
not that he hadn't found it.
45
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,792
How did he find so much money?
46
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,250
That will be the subject
of our second meeting.
47
00:04:25,625 --> 00:04:29,208
I haven't had so much fun
since my 7th birthday party.
48
00:04:29,375 --> 00:04:32,500
Wait 5 minutes before leaving.
I don't want to be followed.
49
00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:35,208
If I see you following me,
it will be over.
50
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:38,583
Why are you giving me
this information?
51
00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:40,708
Because I adore you.
52
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:26,625
Ba yen,
53
00:05:27,167 --> 00:05:30,000
are we still on good terms
with the police?
54
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:34,125
We get along fine,
no more, no less.
55
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:36,083
Why? Are you in trouble?
56
00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:41,333
No, not at all. I want the name
and address of the owner of this car.
57
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,042
I'll do the necessary.
An accident?
58
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:52,500
No. A mysterious informer.
59
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,458
He arranged to meet in a parking lot
to make some revelations.
60
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,208
Revelations? About who?
61
00:06:00,417 --> 00:06:02,292
A big shot.
62
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:04,375
A real big shot.
63
00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:05,833
MR ELECTRONICS
64
00:06:09,250 --> 00:06:10,292
Jacques Be no it-Lambert?
65
00:06:11,292 --> 00:06:12,792
Yes, JBL himself.
66
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,958
He's unassailable.
On all levels.
67
00:06:16,208 --> 00:06:18,500
Your informer is crazy.
68
00:06:19,375 --> 00:06:20,875
That's very possible.
69
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:35,292
Jacques Be no it-Lambert
France's Mr Electronics
70
00:06:36,458 --> 00:06:39,042
AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION
Economic recovery France Electronics
71
00:06:50,792 --> 00:06:52,000
I'll call you back.
72
00:06:52,625 --> 00:06:55,250
Hello, my little Arlène.
How's your love life,
73
00:06:55,458 --> 00:06:57,583
your family, work, life in general?
74
00:06:58,083 --> 00:07:00,042
Sure you're alright, Paul?
75
00:07:00,542 --> 00:07:04,083
You're ingratitude personified.
76
00:07:04,333 --> 00:07:06,167
I just want to know how you are.
77
00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:09,542
Listen, kid,
lovers are a thing of the past,
78
00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:11,875
I've no family
and I'm sick of work!
79
00:07:12,875 --> 00:07:14,083
Do you know him?
80
00:07:15,042 --> 00:07:16,208
Yes. It's JBL.
81
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:20,917
Tell me about him.
Loves or lovers, of course.
82
00:07:21,792 --> 00:07:24,917
He's lived with the same woman
for 5 years. She's called...
83
00:07:25,083 --> 00:07:26,625
Laura Weber.
84
00:07:27,458 --> 00:07:29,750
No photos.
We've never caught them together.
85
00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:32,375
Apparently, she's in her thirties,
86
00:07:32,583 --> 00:07:36,083
beautiful, intelligent,
single, classy.
87
00:07:37,042 --> 00:07:39,833
Makes a change from his drunken wife!
88
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:41,500
On the other hand,
89
00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:45,583
I've as many photos of her
as you want.
90
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:47,667
Officially, he's still married?
91
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:51,875
Yes, but they're separated.
She refuses to divorce him.
92
00:07:52,417 --> 00:07:55,208
At the last reception
at the US Embassy she got drunk.
93
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:59,750
He wanted her to leave,
she got angry, made a scandal...
94
00:08:00,750 --> 00:08:02,375
Just another incident.
95
00:08:02,542 --> 00:08:04,625
Ah! Distinguishing feature:
96
00:08:04,792 --> 00:08:07,958
a huge personal fortune.
97
00:08:08,667 --> 00:08:11,042
It's the gentleman
you were expecting, madam.
98
00:08:13,917 --> 00:08:15,625
Come in, sir.
99
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:20,167
- What's your name again?
- Paul Kerjean, madam.
100
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,583
Thank you for receiving me.
101
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:24,958
Sit there, so I can see you.
102
00:08:29,833 --> 00:08:31,125
No. There.
103
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:33,833
You're hidden behind the flowers.
104
00:08:42,542 --> 00:08:44,583
Have a drink.
Help yourself.
105
00:08:49,292 --> 00:08:51,167
You look charming, Mr Kerjean.
106
00:08:55,667 --> 00:08:58,000
It's very kind to come and see me.
107
00:09:00,458 --> 00:09:01,625
I'm so alone
108
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:04,375
in this big house.
109
00:09:06,792 --> 00:09:09,208
No one bothers about me.
110
00:09:12,417 --> 00:09:15,167
Having no one to talk to
is difficult, you know.
111
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:17,000
I understand, madam.
112
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,292
I imagine that you know
that my husband and I...
113
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:26,583
well, we've been separated
for a while.
114
00:09:27,375 --> 00:09:31,000
My husband and I have
been the subject of gossip recently.
115
00:09:31,417 --> 00:09:33,292
I'm aware of that, madam.
116
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:35,583
No, no...
117
00:09:37,042 --> 00:09:38,917
I prefer to serve myself.
118
00:09:39,083 --> 00:09:43,625
Believe me, gossip
isn't what interests my newspaper.
119
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,083
Yes, I know.
120
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:51,375
That's the reason
I agreed to meet you.
121
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:57,125
You're very charming, Mr Kerjean.
122
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,708
You must know
that my husband lives with a...
123
00:10:01,917 --> 00:10:02,958
a...
124
00:10:04,625 --> 00:10:05,625
Well...
125
00:10:06,208 --> 00:10:10,292
that sordid little adventure
has surely nothing to do with...
126
00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:11,625
what you wanted to discuss.
127
00:10:11,917 --> 00:10:13,583
Nothing at all, madam.
128
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:15,375
I'm writing about your husband,
129
00:10:15,542 --> 00:10:18,667
and I thought no one
could know him better than you.
130
00:10:19,292 --> 00:10:20,500
Isn't that true?
131
00:10:21,542 --> 00:10:22,667
It certainly is.
132
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:31,083
We married in October '41.
133
00:10:32,542 --> 00:10:33,875
During the war.
134
00:10:35,542 --> 00:10:38,417
He'd just finished his law studies.
135
00:10:40,042 --> 00:10:42,292
He joined the Free French Forces.
136
00:10:44,667 --> 00:10:47,333
I went to join him in London.
137
00:10:50,208 --> 00:10:51,417
But...
138
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,208
we saw little of each other
before the Liberation.
139
00:11:06,125 --> 00:11:07,125
And...
140
00:11:07,875 --> 00:11:09,292
After the war?
141
00:11:10,875 --> 00:11:11,875
Oh, yes.
142
00:11:12,125 --> 00:11:13,542
After the war.
143
00:11:15,583 --> 00:11:18,208
We went to live in the provinces,
144
00:11:18,417 --> 00:11:19,500
in Rouen.
145
00:11:21,208 --> 00:11:24,542
He had a law firm
that was very successful.
146
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Then he stood
for the parliamentary elections.
147
00:11:31,542 --> 00:11:33,083
He was elected.
148
00:11:34,083 --> 00:11:36,042
It was the start of his success.
149
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:40,208
A total success thanks to
his exceptional intelligence,
150
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:43,542
uncontested skill and charm
151
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:45,833
and professional competency.
152
00:11:48,042 --> 00:11:51,833
Although apparently, recently,
he's had financial problems.
153
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:54,500
That's no doubt jealous gossip.
154
00:12:03,667 --> 00:12:07,500
Has he had
any financial problems recently?
155
00:12:09,208 --> 00:12:11,917
You should ask him that.
156
00:12:12,875 --> 00:12:15,750
I only know
that he reduced my allowance.
157
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:19,042
I have my own personal fortune,
158
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:21,333
but it's not for everyday expenses.
159
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:23,250
- Right?
- Of course.
160
00:12:25,208 --> 00:12:29,042
When you were together, did
your husband talk about his work?
161
00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:30,667
No.
162
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,083
No.
163
00:12:33,125 --> 00:12:35,000
He took no interest in me.
164
00:12:36,833 --> 00:12:40,000
He just showed me off
for photos.
165
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:43,000
For the elections, for example.
166
00:12:43,958 --> 00:12:48,667
Or when he needed to take a wife
to an official event.
167
00:12:49,083 --> 00:12:50,500
And...
168
00:12:51,042 --> 00:12:52,375
one day...
169
00:12:53,333 --> 00:12:54,958
one day, he...
170
00:12:56,292 --> 00:12:58,583
he left me alone forever.
171
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:05,458
And there were his mysterious trips
172
00:13:06,167 --> 00:13:08,458
to see mysterious men.
173
00:13:08,917 --> 00:13:11,083
What trips?
What men?
174
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:13,875
I don't know.
175
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:18,292
If I did, they wouldn't
be mysterious, would they?
176
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:22,125
Obviously, I didn't follow him.
177
00:13:22,875 --> 00:13:24,167
And these trips
178
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:27,583
and mysterious men
weren't called Miss Laura Weber?
179
00:13:28,542 --> 00:13:29,542
No.
180
00:13:33,083 --> 00:13:34,667
Not exclusively.
181
00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:37,542
How did you know?
You didn't follow your husband.
182
00:13:38,042 --> 00:13:42,917
Your questions are becoming
more and more personal.
183
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:46,000
- Madam...
- I didn't follow my husband!
184
00:13:46,167 --> 00:13:50,292
I didn't think for a moment that
a woman of your class and standing
185
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:54,792
would sink so low as to follow
her husband at night.
186
00:13:55,667 --> 00:13:59,000
I thought, maybe a private detective?
187
00:13:59,833 --> 00:14:03,875
In such a terrible situation,
I would find that normal.
188
00:14:06,458 --> 00:14:08,167
- Really?
- Definitely.
189
00:14:14,208 --> 00:14:16,667
I shouldn't reveal
all my little secrets,
190
00:14:17,083 --> 00:14:19,542
but you're so nice,
191
00:14:19,708 --> 00:14:21,333
so understanding...
192
00:14:31,042 --> 00:14:33,292
I think it's time for you to leave.
193
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:36,958
Good evening, sir.
194
00:14:42,917 --> 00:14:47,083
Please excuse me
for not seeing you out.
195
00:14:55,583 --> 00:14:56,958
Forget everything I said.
196
00:14:59,292 --> 00:15:01,417
It was between you and me.
197
00:15:36,458 --> 00:15:38,167
WALTER AGENCY
PRIVATE DETECTIVE
198
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:46,167
Mr Walter, you were recommended
by Mrs Be no it-Lambert.
199
00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:50,083
If I understand rightly,
you followed her husband.
200
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:52,000
At night, in particular.
201
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:54,208
It's possible.
202
00:15:54,958 --> 00:15:56,958
She told me you took photographs.
203
00:15:57,917 --> 00:15:58,917
It's possible.
204
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:02,750
Can you tell me
when the photos were taken?
205
00:16:03,458 --> 00:16:05,625
I didn't say I took photos.
206
00:16:06,125 --> 00:16:07,875
I said it was possible.
207
00:16:08,375 --> 00:16:09,500
Of course.
208
00:16:10,458 --> 00:16:15,458
Someone else must have printed
your name on the back of the photos.
209
00:16:17,333 --> 00:16:20,208
Listen, what do you want exactly?
210
00:16:20,875 --> 00:16:21,958
To see the photos.
211
00:16:22,208 --> 00:16:23,667
I hope you're joking.
212
00:16:23,917 --> 00:16:27,417
Not at all. I know your fees.
I've prepared a cheque.
213
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:29,792
You've already been paid
for this.
214
00:17:05,292 --> 00:17:07,042
When were these photos taken?
215
00:17:07,375 --> 00:17:10,917
Over the last 2 months.
216
00:17:11,875 --> 00:17:15,667
I was in my car
and used a zoom.
217
00:17:16,042 --> 00:17:17,375
Not bad, are they?
218
00:17:22,417 --> 00:17:25,750
On these negatives,
JBL isn't with his mistress,
219
00:17:26,167 --> 00:17:28,708
but with strangers.
Who are these men?
220
00:17:28,917 --> 00:17:31,000
I've no idea.
221
00:17:31,792 --> 00:17:35,750
Mrs Be no it-Lambert
wanted evidence for her divorce.
222
00:17:36,583 --> 00:17:40,542
I wasn't interested in anything else,
so I didn't develop them.
223
00:17:41,083 --> 00:17:43,125
So why did you take these photos?
224
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:46,625
To prove to my client
that I was working.
225
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,042
Why?
226
00:17:48,208 --> 00:17:49,833
Do people wonder?
227
00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:52,083
Sometimes.
228
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:56,500
Right...
229
00:17:56,750 --> 00:18:00,375
I'd like to borrow these negatives
for 24 hours. I'll return them.
230
00:18:00,542 --> 00:18:01,625
Why?
231
00:18:01,792 --> 00:18:03,083
For my own album.
232
00:18:03,417 --> 00:18:05,167
That's not possible.
233
00:18:06,083 --> 00:18:10,250
I only give my photos
to the clients who hired me.
234
00:18:10,667 --> 00:18:13,458
The photos belong in the file.
235
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:16,208
It's quite simple.
I'm your client.
236
00:18:16,375 --> 00:18:20,292
I hired you to follow
Mr Be no it-Lambert and to take photos.
237
00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:23,250
I'm delighted with your work.
I paid. I'll take my file.
238
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:25,125
That's perfect.
239
00:19:02,625 --> 00:19:05,250
Your request:
7702 NM 78 Sam BRONSKY
240
00:19:15,708 --> 00:19:17,000
Hello, sir.
241
00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:20,083
That car is not for sale.
242
00:19:21,167 --> 00:19:24,333
Hello, madam.
Is Mr Bronsky here?
243
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:26,458
I am Mrs Bronsky.
244
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:29,250
Who are you?
245
00:19:29,417 --> 00:19:31,750
I'm Paul Kerjean.
I'm a reporter.
246
00:19:32,125 --> 00:19:34,000
I've come about an investigation.
247
00:19:34,792 --> 00:19:37,167
I'm sure you've got
the wrong address.
248
00:19:37,333 --> 00:19:40,792
I don't think so, madam.
I'd like to see Mr Bronsky.
249
00:19:41,333 --> 00:19:44,792
Mrs Bronsky assured me that the car
outside her house
250
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:48,208
had not been used for several weeks.
251
00:19:48,625 --> 00:19:49,875
As for her husband,
252
00:19:50,125 --> 00:19:53,792
he lived in America.
They'd divorced several years ago.
253
00:19:54,833 --> 00:19:55,833
Eric!
254
00:20:00,833 --> 00:20:04,208
The only Mr Bronsky I can introduce.
255
00:20:04,375 --> 00:20:05,917
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
256
00:20:06,292 --> 00:20:08,292
I didn't believe a word she said.
257
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:12,792
But I left for the mysterious
Mr Bronsky
258
00:20:12,958 --> 00:20:16,167
the number of a restaurant
where he could contact me.
259
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:24,708
Hi!
260
00:20:25,208 --> 00:20:26,208
Alright?
261
00:20:27,625 --> 00:20:28,792
I'm fine.
262
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:31,083
How's Bastien?
263
00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:33,375
He had a sore throat,
but he's fine.
264
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:34,917
You're having him on Saturday?
265
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:37,792
Listen... at the moment...
266
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,167
Can you keep him this weekend?
267
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:43,917
I'm working on a big case.
268
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,250
- A big scandal in view?
- Yes.
269
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:49,667
If all goes well.
270
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,292
If all goes well for who?
271
00:20:53,667 --> 00:20:56,000
You, your readers,
272
00:20:56,167 --> 00:20:57,792
the scandal?
273
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:02,750
Poor Jean, you spend your life
looking for a Dreyfus Affair.
274
00:21:03,208 --> 00:21:06,042
But not everyone
is as lucky as Zola.
275
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:11,208
Running after Dreyfus,
you encounter Mesrine.
276
00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:14,083
Hélène, don't start.
277
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:17,417
Our marriage failed,
let's make our divorce a success.
278
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,333
- Telephone for Mr Kerjean.
- Yes.
279
00:21:27,875 --> 00:21:28,875
Hello?
280
00:21:29,083 --> 00:21:31,000
- Paul Kerjean?
- Yes.
281
00:21:31,458 --> 00:21:33,917
I thought I'd explained the rules
to you.
282
00:21:34,083 --> 00:21:35,708
I've changed the rules.
283
00:21:35,875 --> 00:21:39,042
I refuse to be a puppet
with you pulling the strings.
284
00:21:39,333 --> 00:21:42,875
We need to meet very soon
if you want me to keep playing.
285
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:45,500
Alright.
286
00:21:46,458 --> 00:21:48,458
I'll accept, this time.
287
00:21:48,667 --> 00:21:51,542
Be at Martin's
in half an hour.
288
00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:53,000
At Pavilion Royal.
289
00:21:54,542 --> 00:21:56,750
Listen and do what I say.
290
00:21:56,917 --> 00:21:59,125
Sit facing the bar,
291
00:21:59,292 --> 00:22:02,083
with your back against the seat.
Understand?
292
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:14,542
Don't ever turn around
while we're talking.
293
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,167
Why did you want to meet?
Keep it short.
294
00:22:18,208 --> 00:22:20,458
I will. I've had enough
of this mystery,
295
00:22:20,625 --> 00:22:22,583
meetings at night
and hidden faces.
296
00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:26,708
I don't know why, but you want
my paper to bring down JBL.
297
00:22:26,875 --> 00:22:31,833
I won't publish an article without
real proof of your accusations.
298
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,250
I want to know who you are,
who I'm working with
299
00:22:34,417 --> 00:22:36,167
and your sources.
300
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,875
If you won't accept, forget it.
301
00:22:39,208 --> 00:22:42,000
Kerjean, deep down,
302
00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:46,833
you know this is explosive
but don't know how to handle it.
303
00:22:47,292 --> 00:22:49,792
You're annoyed
because you're at a standstill.
304
00:22:49,958 --> 00:22:52,375
You can't handle this investigation.
305
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:55,458
Find someone else, then.
Goodbye!
306
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,458
Listen, Kerjean,
307
00:23:01,542 --> 00:23:03,208
two weeks ago,
I contacted you.
308
00:23:03,583 --> 00:23:07,000
What have you learned
about Be no it-Lambert?
309
00:23:07,833 --> 00:23:11,125
He's respectable and respected,
of unquestionable integrity,
310
00:23:11,292 --> 00:23:14,500
transparent bank accounts.
Love life... acceptable.
311
00:23:14,875 --> 00:23:17,333
That's his public side.
312
00:23:17,958 --> 00:23:19,917
I said he was
in dire straits financially.
313
00:23:20,083 --> 00:23:22,667
That he needed 750 million
and had found it.
314
00:23:23,583 --> 00:23:25,625
Have you heard of SCOVIM?
315
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:30,083
It's a real-estate company, headed
by Be no it-Lambert's son-in-law.
316
00:23:30,250 --> 00:23:31,417
What's the link?
317
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:36,625
SCOVIM built
two 15-storey office towers.
318
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:41,542
For 2 years, it's been impossible
to rent or sell the offices.
319
00:23:41,792 --> 00:23:44,125
The banks have closed
the credit valves.
320
00:23:44,458 --> 00:23:47,125
They have to reimburse 750 million
at the end of the year,
321
00:23:47,292 --> 00:23:48,792
but they can't.
322
00:23:48,958 --> 00:23:51,375
They'll declare bankruptcy.
Suddenly.
323
00:23:51,667 --> 00:23:53,125
On the eve of bankruptcy,
324
00:23:53,292 --> 00:23:57,250
miraculous buyers will pay
1 billion, 750 million
325
00:23:57,417 --> 00:23:59,208
for the 2 buildings
that can't be sold,
326
00:23:59,375 --> 00:24:02,750
saving SCOVIM
and it'll make a nice profit as well.
327
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:04,250
And?
328
00:24:04,958 --> 00:24:06,917
Are you doing this on purpose?
329
00:24:08,917 --> 00:24:12,542
That proves that the CEO of SCOVIM
is remarkable
330
00:24:13,083 --> 00:24:15,667
and that Be no it-Lambert
has the right son-in-law.
331
00:24:15,833 --> 00:24:18,417
The CEO of SCOVIM
is not a remarkable man,
332
00:24:18,667 --> 00:24:21,833
he's a pretentious,
incapable little technocrat.
333
00:24:22,083 --> 00:24:27,000
So the buyers help out SCOVIM
and save it at the last minute.
334
00:24:27,167 --> 00:24:29,292
They don't give a damn
about SCOVIM.
335
00:24:29,792 --> 00:24:32,708
They're using SCOVIM
to get to Be no it-Lambert.
336
00:24:32,875 --> 00:24:36,167
In that hand,
there was 1 billion, 750 million.
337
00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:38,958
That is not a purchase,
it's a bribe.
338
00:24:39,208 --> 00:24:40,792
A bribe for what?
339
00:24:40,958 --> 00:24:42,917
I'm not the reporter.
340
00:24:43,083 --> 00:24:45,375
I've put you on the path,
now investigate.
341
00:24:45,542 --> 00:24:48,458
No one pays almost 2 billion
out of sheer kindness.
342
00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:55,458
Why not use legal means
to denounce this affair?
343
00:24:55,792 --> 00:24:57,583
For a very simple reason.
344
00:24:58,125 --> 00:25:00,042
Be no it-Lambert has powerful friends.
345
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:02,958
I don't want the affair
to be covered up.
346
00:25:05,583 --> 00:25:08,417
If necessary,
what is your direct number?
347
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:39,083
How long have you been working
on this, Kerjean?
348
00:25:41,167 --> 00:25:43,792
- 3 months.
- Why didn't you tell me'?
349
00:25:46,875 --> 00:25:49,125
I wanted to present
something watertight,
350
00:25:49,292 --> 00:25:52,167
with proven facts, not accusations
based on gossip.
351
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:56,458
I don't like you investigating
an explosive case without my consent.
352
00:25:57,875 --> 00:26:01,542
It only became explosive
a few hours ago, Mr Hartmann.
353
00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:03,500
Before, I was at a dead end.
354
00:26:03,667 --> 00:26:05,000
What came up?
355
00:26:06,125 --> 00:26:09,792
I knew that a miraculous buyer
had paid 1 billion, 750 million
356
00:26:09,958 --> 00:26:12,458
to save SCOVIM from bankruptcy.
357
00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:15,625
And, indirectly,
Jacques Be no it-Lambert.
358
00:26:16,583 --> 00:26:17,917
This evening,
359
00:26:18,292 --> 00:26:20,958
I found out who was behind the buyer.
360
00:26:22,458 --> 00:26:25,125
The multinational G.T.l.
361
00:26:26,542 --> 00:26:30,917
And, of course, this revelation
came from a reliable source.
362
00:26:31,083 --> 00:26:34,333
I can't say my sources
are the best,
363
00:26:35,208 --> 00:26:37,500
but the information is indisputable.
364
00:26:39,417 --> 00:26:41,667
It all started
in the most ordinary way.
365
00:26:42,375 --> 00:26:46,292
Be no it-Lambert and his mistress
were followed by a private detective,
366
00:26:46,458 --> 00:26:48,458
hired by Mrs Be no it-Lambert.
367
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:51,042
Classic photos,
368
00:26:51,542 --> 00:26:53,250
the vengeance of a jealous wife,
369
00:26:53,417 --> 00:26:56,583
who wants the divorce case
to rule in her favour.
370
00:27:00,042 --> 00:27:03,042
But JBL goes out
without his mistress.
371
00:27:05,292 --> 00:27:07,375
To meet other people.
372
00:27:07,667 --> 00:27:09,458
This man, for example.
373
00:27:10,625 --> 00:27:14,542
To justify his salary, the detective
kept taking photos
374
00:27:15,083 --> 00:27:17,125
of no value for the divorce case.
375
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:20,417
I obtained the negatives
he hadn't developed.
376
00:27:20,667 --> 00:27:23,500
Our photo department
has just developed them.
377
00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:26,375
Do you know this man?
378
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:28,500
Yes.
379
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:32,750
3 months ago,
380
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:36,583
you sent me to Brussels
for the G.T.l. convention. Remember?
381
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:38,583
That's right.
382
00:27:38,917 --> 00:27:43,917
We even joked about what time
you were invited. It was 4 am.
383
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:45,375
That's right.
384
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:50,667
I arrived at the Hotel de la Cité
at 4 in the morning,
385
00:27:52,167 --> 00:27:54,125
and I was met by this man.
386
00:27:54,792 --> 00:27:57,333
Fred Gritt.
Delighted to welcome you, Mr Kerjean.
387
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:59,625
Thank you for accepting
our invitation.
388
00:27:59,792 --> 00:28:01,292
It's only normal.
389
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:08,417
Since I have been head
of public relations at G.T.l.,
390
00:28:08,792 --> 00:28:11,708
you're the only reporter invited
to our annual convention.
391
00:28:12,375 --> 00:28:15,500
I'm very flattered
by this exceptional invitation,
392
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:16,875
but...
393
00:28:18,292 --> 00:28:20,042
Why 4 am?
394
00:28:20,208 --> 00:28:22,667
It's only 9 pm for G.T.l.
395
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,250
Our president travels a lot.
396
00:28:25,417 --> 00:28:29,458
On Monday he was in Hong Kong,
Wednesday in Bombay,
397
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,792
Thursday afternoon, in Moscow,
398
00:28:32,292 --> 00:28:35,250
Friday, he headed a meeting
in New York, today, he's here.
399
00:28:35,667 --> 00:28:39,542
No human body can resist
so much jetlag all year long.
400
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:41,958
So the company decided to forego
local times
401
00:28:42,167 --> 00:28:44,792
and everything is based
on New York time.
402
00:28:44,958 --> 00:28:48,417
It is presently 9 pm in New York.
403
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:49,667
Really?
404
00:28:50,167 --> 00:28:53,917
When he arrives somewhere,
breakfast is eaten at suppertime
405
00:28:54,083 --> 00:28:57,250
and bedtime is at 3 pm.
406
00:28:57,417 --> 00:28:59,792
That's about right.
It's a question of habit.
407
00:28:59,958 --> 00:29:01,875
Our watches are set
to New York time.
408
00:29:02,042 --> 00:29:05,333
It's much easier when we have to call
our headquarters.
409
00:29:23,792 --> 00:29:25,917
The president will speak
in about 15 minutes'.
410
00:29:26,083 --> 00:29:27,542
It's always very brief.
411
00:29:27,708 --> 00:29:29,750
I will introduce you afterwards.
412
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:37,375
Vittorio Horta.
413
00:29:38,667 --> 00:29:41,042
Michel Saint-Claude, G.T.l. Europe.
414
00:29:43,708 --> 00:29:45,750
What are you drinking, Mr Kerjean?
415
00:29:47,417 --> 00:29:49,792
I'm torn between a large whisky
416
00:29:49,958 --> 00:29:52,250
or hot white coffee
with a croissant.
417
00:29:54,458 --> 00:29:57,458
Here is the most important photo.
418
00:30:06,542 --> 00:30:07,750
JBL
419
00:30:08,208 --> 00:30:10,375
met - somewhere -
420
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,583
the president of G.T.l.
421
00:30:15,875 --> 00:30:19,250
A formidable brain
and a fearsome businessman.
422
00:30:19,458 --> 00:30:23,125
He managed to create patriotism
for his company.
423
00:30:24,625 --> 00:30:26,750
That evening, at the convention,
424
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:29,583
I heard his speech.
425
00:34:11,292 --> 00:34:14,000
His handshake was as cold as steel.
426
00:34:14,792 --> 00:34:17,292
But this handshake
427
00:34:18,625 --> 00:34:21,625
is worth 1 billion, 750 million.
428
00:34:22,333 --> 00:34:23,917
Everything came together,
429
00:34:24,250 --> 00:34:26,625
Jacques Be no it-Lambert
has family and financial ties
430
00:34:26,792 --> 00:34:30,083
with the company SCOVIM
which is in difficulty,
431
00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:34,250
but JBL is also the honest
and uncompromising president
432
00:34:34,417 --> 00:34:36,000
of French Electronics.
433
00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:40,458
Unfortunately, you cannot
receive almost 2 billion
434
00:34:41,208 --> 00:34:44,917
and remain uncompromising.
435
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:46,875
Of course.
436
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,583
You can't tell G.T.l.
you'd like their millions
437
00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:52,958
but ask them not to interfere
in your business.
438
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,917
It's a little convenient
to blame multinationals
439
00:34:56,083 --> 00:34:58,792
for all the economic problems
in the world.
440
00:34:59,708 --> 00:35:01,208
Why are you smiling?
441
00:35:02,917 --> 00:35:04,917
Because that night,
at the convention,
442
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,583
the president of G.T.l.
said exactly the same thing.
443
00:35:12,875 --> 00:35:14,250
So, Mr Kerjean,
444
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:18,792
is your paper one of those who think
that companies like G.T.l.
445
00:35:18,958 --> 00:35:21,667
are responsible
for Europe's misfortunes?
446
00:35:23,583 --> 00:35:25,708
That's what economists say.
447
00:35:25,875 --> 00:35:29,667
They write complicated books,
read only by other economists.
448
00:35:29,833 --> 00:35:31,375
That's as far as it goes.
449
00:35:32,417 --> 00:35:35,708
And you, Mr Kerjean,
do you read those books?
450
00:35:37,417 --> 00:35:39,042
I've read some of them.
451
00:35:39,542 --> 00:35:41,917
I didn't understand everything,
there are so many graphs,
452
00:35:42,083 --> 00:35:44,833
growth and investment charts,
453
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,917
market penetration.
454
00:35:49,083 --> 00:35:53,917
I recall three or four figures
that fascinated me.
455
00:35:55,375 --> 00:35:59,083
Apparently, today, in the world,
excluding the socialist countries,
456
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:01,625
thirty companies,
including yours,
457
00:36:01,792 --> 00:36:05,833
total an annual turnover
of a thousand billion dollars.
458
00:36:06,792 --> 00:36:07,917
And?
459
00:36:10,542 --> 00:36:15,375
And such immense power
in the hands of so few
460
00:36:16,042 --> 00:36:17,500
is frightening.
461
00:36:18,208 --> 00:36:20,167
A thousand billion dollars.
462
00:36:20,458 --> 00:36:23,333
It's one and a half times the GDP
of France.
463
00:36:24,667 --> 00:36:27,500
A third of the wealth generated
annually in the USA.
464
00:36:28,042 --> 00:36:29,917
A thousand billion dollars is...
465
00:36:30,083 --> 00:36:32,875
10% of the wealth
generated annually in the world,
466
00:36:33,042 --> 00:36:34,333
for a club of 30 people.
467
00:36:34,875 --> 00:36:36,542
Why are you complaining?
468
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:39,458
90% remains for the others.
469
00:36:41,542 --> 00:36:46,167
Not really, because if we increase
the membership to 200 companies,
470
00:36:46,375 --> 00:36:48,875
you control 20%
of world production,
471
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:53,917
using only 0.5% of the population.
472
00:36:55,875 --> 00:36:57,625
Of course, you could retort
473
00:36:57,792 --> 00:37:00,417
that there remains 80%
474
00:37:00,583 --> 00:37:03,833
for the 4 billion people
in the rest of the world.
475
00:37:04,375 --> 00:37:06,292
In the world in which we live,
476
00:37:06,458 --> 00:37:09,375
you must grow or die.
477
00:37:09,542 --> 00:37:12,375
We've decided to grow.
478
00:37:12,542 --> 00:37:14,500
- Any objection?
- None.
479
00:37:14,750 --> 00:37:18,458
A small captain of industry,
who probably agreed, once said:
480
00:37:18,833 --> 00:37:21,000
"When a multinational
approaches your market,
481
00:37:21,167 --> 00:37:22,417
"you have 2 choices.
482
00:37:22,917 --> 00:37:25,833
"You sell out to them
or you close down."
483
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,625
He must have been depressed.
484
00:37:28,792 --> 00:37:29,875
It's current.
485
00:37:30,042 --> 00:37:31,667
Things will improve.
486
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:35,458
It worked out well for him.
He sold his company to G.T.l.
487
00:37:35,625 --> 00:37:37,708
He was a wise and smart man.
488
00:37:37,875 --> 00:37:40,625
He'll be able to holiday
all year long.
489
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:43,500
All his worries are ours now.
490
00:37:45,625 --> 00:37:48,542
Tell me, are you
slightly communist on the edges?
491
00:37:49,458 --> 00:37:52,458
If I was a communist,
it wouldn't be "on the edges".
492
00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:55,167
Would I be a reporter for La Tribune?
493
00:37:55,333 --> 00:37:57,083
True, but be careful what you say.
494
00:37:57,417 --> 00:38:01,042
Fred Gritt called me the next day,
to make sure your article
495
00:38:01,208 --> 00:38:04,583
would be less violent
than your words.
496
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:06,750
And it was, dear Ba yen.
497
00:38:06,917 --> 00:38:07,917
That's true.
498
00:38:08,208 --> 00:38:12,292
Despite a "diplomatic incident",
499
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:14,625
that was a close escape.
500
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:19,708
I think it was the G.T.l. Manager
for Belgium
501
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:22,167
who came to my table and said:
502
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:25,917
I think that this animosity
towards multinationals
503
00:38:26,083 --> 00:38:29,083
is because European public opinion,
especially in France,
504
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,750
is deeply rooted in nationalism.
505
00:38:32,083 --> 00:38:35,292
They are not ready to accept
the globalization of business,
506
00:38:35,458 --> 00:38:38,083
and they dislike foreign competition.
507
00:38:39,333 --> 00:38:41,042
Foreign competition
508
00:38:41,292 --> 00:38:43,000
is going to a country and saying:
509
00:38:43,167 --> 00:38:46,375
"Look, my product is better
and cheaper than yours."
510
00:38:46,542 --> 00:38:47,542
That's what we do.
511
00:38:47,708 --> 00:38:50,042
No, you implant yourselves
in the country,
512
00:38:50,208 --> 00:38:52,667
take over the company
with the same product
513
00:38:52,833 --> 00:38:54,583
and impose your own product.
514
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:57,083
You don't expect those people
515
00:38:57,292 --> 00:38:59,125
to welcome you with open arms?
516
00:38:59,625 --> 00:39:01,292
You are quite right.
517
00:39:02,417 --> 00:39:07,417
They only do that when we free them
from the Nazis!
518
00:39:12,667 --> 00:39:15,875
That's what we call a cheap shot.
519
00:39:17,125 --> 00:39:18,917
Personally,
I never thought for a second
520
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:21,667
that you freed us
from military occupation
521
00:39:21,833 --> 00:39:24,125
to replace it by an economic regime.
522
00:39:29,542 --> 00:39:30,833
Gentlemen,
523
00:39:31,625 --> 00:39:33,667
I think Mr Kerjean would agree
524
00:39:33,833 --> 00:39:37,667
that we've just made
two very bad jokes.
525
00:39:38,375 --> 00:39:41,042
We promise that
it won't happen again.
526
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:49,708
That was when someone
put something in my pocket.
527
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,667
I never found out who.
528
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,833
Undoubtedly the only person
who liked me.
529
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:01,708
On a paper napkin,
530
00:40:03,333 --> 00:40:05,417
he'd written 3 figures.
531
00:40:05,583 --> 00:40:06,958
Mind-boggling.
532
00:40:07,417 --> 00:40:10,208
Three figures
concerning who or what?
533
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,083
In 1968, an annual turnover
of a thousand billion dollars
534
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:19,125
required the 6,000 major companies
in the world.
535
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:21,458
In 1978,
536
00:40:21,875 --> 00:40:23,625
only 50 made the same amount.
537
00:40:23,958 --> 00:40:25,542
Today, there are 30.
538
00:40:25,875 --> 00:40:27,958
Tomorrow, 5 maybe.
539
00:40:28,917 --> 00:40:30,250
And even...
540
00:40:30,917 --> 00:40:32,417
one alone.
541
00:40:35,750 --> 00:40:37,792
On what terms did you leave?
542
00:40:38,375 --> 00:40:42,958
We separated in a perfect
and mutual lack of understanding.
543
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:48,292
I'll never forget the last impression
I had of him.
544
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,292
I've met quite a few visionaries
in my life.
545
00:40:52,792 --> 00:40:55,083
Spiritual mystics,
546
00:40:55,250 --> 00:40:56,250
sects,
547
00:40:56,417 --> 00:40:57,958
revolutionaries,
548
00:40:58,375 --> 00:41:00,542
ideologists, terrorists,
549
00:41:01,542 --> 00:41:05,917
he is perhaps a mystic of profit.
550
00:41:07,083 --> 00:41:09,500
His eyes riveted on another planet,
551
00:41:10,875 --> 00:41:12,125
he raised his glass...
552
00:41:13,333 --> 00:41:14,833
To G.T.l.
553
00:41:16,083 --> 00:41:17,250
To you.
554
00:41:19,250 --> 00:41:20,500
As for me,
555
00:41:21,167 --> 00:41:25,000
in my will, I have asked for
two dates to be engraved on my tomb.
556
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:28,708
My dates of birth and death.
That's normal.
557
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:32,542
And in gold lettering,
558
00:41:34,042 --> 00:41:35,875
a single figure.
559
00:41:37,292 --> 00:41:41,167
The G.T.l. share price
the day of my death.
560
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:46,083
I want my successor to come
to my grave once a year,
561
00:41:46,833 --> 00:41:49,083
and I will still be there,
562
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:54,792
to check if they have made
the share price rise.
563
00:42:58,250 --> 00:42:59,833
SCANDAL AND BRIBES
564
00:43:07,458 --> 00:43:09,167
It's launched.
565
00:43:09,625 --> 00:43:11,667
Go home and take
the phone off the hook.
566
00:43:11,833 --> 00:43:15,667
You'll be plagued by radios,
Everyone will come calling.
567
00:43:15,833 --> 00:43:18,375
Certainly not.
I'm leaving for 2 or 3 days.
568
00:43:18,833 --> 00:43:21,250
Where can we contact you?
569
00:43:22,125 --> 00:43:24,625
At the old man's.
But only if it's urgent.
570
00:43:24,792 --> 00:43:27,458
- Back to your roots.
- That's right. See you.
571
00:43:27,625 --> 00:43:28,750
Goodbye.
572
00:44:19,208 --> 00:44:20,208
Paul!
573
00:44:20,375 --> 00:44:22,083
It's great to see you again.
574
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,125
- It's been at least...
- Even longer!
575
00:44:26,667 --> 00:44:28,875
- Isn't the old man here?
- He's in his office.
576
00:44:29,292 --> 00:44:30,792
- Hello, Michel.
- Hello.
577
00:44:31,083 --> 00:44:32,333
Alright, Denis?
578
00:44:32,875 --> 00:44:33,958
Charles-Henri.
579
00:44:34,125 --> 00:44:36,333
We expected you
on the 11 o'clock train.
580
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:39,292
My dear Sylvestre,
I came by aeroplane.
581
00:44:39,458 --> 00:44:40,792
An aeroplane.
582
00:44:44,042 --> 00:44:48,458
Young Paul, what are you doing
with your arms in the air?
583
00:44:48,667 --> 00:44:50,292
Imitating an aeroplane.
584
00:44:50,583 --> 00:44:54,375
He could have said he'd come
by plane. We'd have understood.
585
00:44:54,708 --> 00:44:57,625
He thinks we're idiots!
586
00:44:57,792 --> 00:44:59,667
He doesn't know yet.
Tell him, Sylvestre.
587
00:45:01,125 --> 00:45:02,292
Well...
588
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:05,458
Le Courrier de Vesons
will be distributed
589
00:45:05,625 --> 00:45:07,542
in Paris, Lyon, Marseille,
590
00:45:07,708 --> 00:45:10,208
Bordeaux, Toulouse.
Throughout the country.
591
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:11,917
My little Paul!
592
00:45:13,292 --> 00:45:15,375
I'll give Germaine a call.
593
00:45:16,125 --> 00:45:18,583
So, in all the kiosks in France,
594
00:45:18,750 --> 00:45:22,000
no one will ask for La Tribune,
Le Figaro or Le Mat in,
595
00:45:22,375 --> 00:45:26,333
they'll say:
"Le Courrier de Vesons, please."
596
00:45:26,542 --> 00:45:28,500
I've only two words for you:
597
00:45:28,667 --> 00:45:30,083
Well done!
598
00:45:37,875 --> 00:45:39,625
Hello. Germaine?
599
00:45:40,458 --> 00:45:42,333
Yes, he's just arrived.
600
00:45:43,208 --> 00:45:45,250
Have they delivered the turkey?
601
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,333
Just as well.
602
00:45:48,125 --> 00:45:50,625
Tell him my stomach...
603
00:45:50,792 --> 00:45:53,667
FREE SPEECH
Holidays for all
604
00:45:53,875 --> 00:45:57,792
...foie gras for the New Year,
fish on Fridays...
605
00:45:58,583 --> 00:46:02,000
The meaning of our folklore festivals
It rained but it was a success!!!
606
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:05,167
We came close to disaster.
607
00:46:05,458 --> 00:46:11,333
Don't add the mince until
the onions are golden brown.
608
00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:17,042
Spread half of it over the turkey,
and the rest...
609
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:18,792
Cheerio.
610
00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:24,000
Go and get cleaned up.
611
00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:26,667
Everyone at mine in an hour.
612
00:46:26,833 --> 00:46:29,583
You should come back more often,
Paul.
613
00:46:34,583 --> 00:46:36,792
Remember our argument?
614
00:46:37,375 --> 00:46:40,958
You wanted the headline:
Paul Kerjean: I'll say "Yes, mayor,
615
00:46:41,167 --> 00:46:44,208
"but only to get married."
616
00:46:44,875 --> 00:46:47,500
You already liked catchy headlines.
617
00:46:51,208 --> 00:46:53,042
How are you getting along?
618
00:46:53,583 --> 00:46:54,917
We're getting divorced.
619
00:46:56,208 --> 00:46:57,667
And Bastien?
620
00:46:59,042 --> 00:47:02,083
I have him every weekend
and for half the holidays.
621
00:47:06,458 --> 00:47:09,333
- I imagine there's no hope.
- No.
622
00:47:09,583 --> 00:47:11,042
I've tried everything.
623
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,292
Madam no longer wants to live
in Paul Kerjean's shadow.
624
00:47:16,458 --> 00:47:18,333
She wants to exist.
625
00:47:18,833 --> 00:47:21,292
When we go out,
the spotlight's on me.
626
00:47:22,542 --> 00:47:25,042
It's not my fault people
want to talk about my latest article
627
00:47:25,208 --> 00:47:27,708
or book.
I reply, that's all.
628
00:47:28,875 --> 00:47:33,708
And there's always a jerk
who comes and says something like:
629
00:47:35,167 --> 00:47:38,167
"I find you so intelligent, madam."
630
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:42,500
Just because she said: "Would you
be so kind as to pass the salt?"
631
00:47:44,042 --> 00:47:46,542
"You're beautiful, you know."
632
00:47:46,833 --> 00:47:49,750
The supreme word is unleashed.
633
00:47:50,917 --> 00:47:52,042
Words.
634
00:47:54,042 --> 00:47:55,500
Words.
That's what they want.
635
00:47:55,667 --> 00:47:58,500
The city makes you sick, Paul.
636
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:05,333
Come on.
637
00:48:18,625 --> 00:48:20,708
Well done for your article.
638
00:48:21,167 --> 00:48:24,292
Very good, Mr Guérande,
your article on business tax.
639
00:48:24,750 --> 00:48:27,125
And those bloody buildings
they want to put up?
640
00:48:27,333 --> 00:48:29,250
In the next edition.
641
00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:31,417
Thank you, Julien.
642
00:48:31,958 --> 00:48:36,958
Admit you thought "Well done
for your article" was for you.
643
00:48:37,958 --> 00:48:38,958
That's true.
644
00:48:39,125 --> 00:48:43,208
In Paris, you all think the world
revolves around you.
645
00:48:43,375 --> 00:48:47,708
Here, they don't give a damn
about your Parisian scandals.
646
00:48:48,292 --> 00:48:51,375
Maybe one day,
you'll receive a letter saying:
647
00:48:52,625 --> 00:48:54,208
"The old man's dead".
648
00:48:54,958 --> 00:48:57,917
Tell yourself that I'll have left
with the springtime,
649
00:48:58,083 --> 00:49:00,167
with a wealth of sights and sounds
650
00:49:00,667 --> 00:49:02,500
and a full stomach!
651
00:49:02,750 --> 00:49:05,208
I'll be buried here
with your family,
652
00:49:05,458 --> 00:49:07,208
and on my tomb they'll write:
653
00:49:07,417 --> 00:49:10,333
"Here lies an old happy jerk".
654
00:49:10,583 --> 00:49:14,125
I'll make sure they write:
"He talked of a faraway planet".
655
00:49:14,292 --> 00:49:17,750
Why? Talking about springtime
was ridiculous?
656
00:49:18,083 --> 00:49:20,583
My springtimes are very simple, Paul.
657
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:23,417
Springtime today is your visit
658
00:49:23,583 --> 00:49:27,500
and a stuffed turkey
just how I like it.
659
00:49:27,667 --> 00:49:29,208
It's waiting for us.
660
00:49:32,083 --> 00:49:33,250
Germaine!
661
00:49:45,833 --> 00:49:47,500
What time was the body found?
662
00:49:47,667 --> 00:49:51,000
A mariner found it this morning
at 6.15 am.
663
00:49:51,167 --> 00:49:53,625
There's no doubt, it's a suicide.
664
00:49:53,792 --> 00:49:56,042
Jacques Be no it-Lambert
shot himself.
665
00:49:56,875 --> 00:50:00,917
We found this next to him,
on the passenger seat.
666
00:50:21,958 --> 00:50:23,167
Mr Kerjean!
667
00:50:23,333 --> 00:50:26,042
Mr Ba yen's waiting
in Mr Hartmann's office.
668
00:50:38,042 --> 00:50:39,167
Come in.
669
00:50:43,333 --> 00:50:44,500
Sit down.
670
00:50:49,375 --> 00:50:51,958
This suicide
confirms your article, Kerjean.
671
00:50:52,667 --> 00:50:55,083
But I don't want us
to act triumphant.
672
00:50:55,833 --> 00:50:57,250
We're not responsible,
673
00:50:57,417 --> 00:51:00,292
but if we continue,
we'll annoy everyone.
674
00:51:01,042 --> 00:51:04,750
We can't persecute a man
when some blame his death on us.
675
00:51:04,917 --> 00:51:06,792
- That's not my opinion.
- Mine neither.
676
00:51:06,958 --> 00:51:07,958
But some think so.
677
00:51:08,292 --> 00:51:10,667
I think we should continue,
Mr Hartmann.
678
00:51:10,958 --> 00:51:13,708
We can't allow ourselves
to drop this
679
00:51:13,875 --> 00:51:17,000
as if we regret having lit
a firecracker that exploded.
680
00:51:17,167 --> 00:51:18,667
We must see it through.
681
00:51:19,125 --> 00:51:20,542
Some questions are unanswered.
682
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:22,292
Which questions?
683
00:51:23,625 --> 00:51:27,333
JBL couldn't sell off
France Electronics alone.
684
00:51:27,542 --> 00:51:30,792
We must find the others,
this could be far-reaching.
685
00:51:32,625 --> 00:51:35,542
The answer may be in these photos.
686
00:51:41,292 --> 00:51:43,542
Every other night,
this is where JBL went.
687
00:51:43,708 --> 00:51:45,625
16 rue Cisco.
688
00:51:46,333 --> 00:51:50,125
Walter, the private detective
hired by Mrs Be no it-Lambert,
689
00:51:50,417 --> 00:51:52,250
took these photos.
690
00:51:52,750 --> 00:51:55,667
They couldn't be used
for the divorce,
691
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:57,958
so he stopped taking photos.
692
00:51:58,125 --> 00:52:00,625
He was probably going to see
his mistress.
693
00:52:01,250 --> 00:52:03,875
No, sir, his mistress
doesn't live there.
694
00:52:05,875 --> 00:52:09,542
There's this one,
showing this man from behind.
695
00:52:09,708 --> 00:52:12,125
The only person
I haven't identified.
696
00:52:14,958 --> 00:52:19,958
Listen, Kerjean, we can't imagine
JBL using such means to survive.
697
00:52:20,458 --> 00:52:23,000
This man is dead,
the rest is up to the law
698
00:52:23,375 --> 00:52:24,792
and history.
699
00:52:25,708 --> 00:52:27,333
For me, this is over.
700
00:52:29,708 --> 00:52:30,875
Thank you.
701
00:52:57,875 --> 00:53:00,375
- I've come to see Mr Walter.
- Wait!
702
00:53:00,833 --> 00:53:02,250
Mr Walter is with someone.
703
00:53:09,125 --> 00:53:10,417
Mr Kerjean.
704
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:14,250
Do me the pleasure
of leaving immediately.
705
00:53:17,667 --> 00:53:19,792
I've nothing to say to you.
706
00:53:20,208 --> 00:53:23,542
I told you everything I knew
the last time we met.
707
00:53:23,708 --> 00:53:26,083
I've nothing to add.
708
00:53:28,958 --> 00:53:30,750
Please leave.
709
00:53:41,542 --> 00:53:44,000
Listen, Kerjean,
I don't have the time.
710
00:53:44,167 --> 00:53:49,167
I'm in a hurry. I have to leave
immediately for a case.
711
00:53:49,542 --> 00:53:51,833
You can understand that, can't you?
712
00:53:52,208 --> 00:53:53,708
Come on, be kind.
713
00:53:54,333 --> 00:53:56,750
- Leave.
- Just 'IO minutes. 'IO little minutes.
714
00:53:56,917 --> 00:53:59,083
- I don't have time.
- Find it.
715
00:53:59,250 --> 00:54:01,042
Why? There's no reason.
716
00:54:01,250 --> 00:54:02,875
Yes, there is one.
717
00:54:03,375 --> 00:54:06,250
I'll write articles
about private detectives,
718
00:54:06,667 --> 00:54:08,625
the Walter Agency in particular.
719
00:54:08,958 --> 00:54:12,000
You won't have to worry
about your clients.
720
00:54:12,958 --> 00:54:16,333
You'll have a lot of spare time,
to meet them for example.
721
00:54:16,667 --> 00:54:17,917
But...
722
00:54:18,125 --> 00:54:19,250
you're threatening me.
723
00:54:19,583 --> 00:54:22,250
I'm not threatening you.
I'm giving you a choice.
724
00:54:24,250 --> 00:54:25,250
Alright.
725
00:54:28,417 --> 00:54:30,208
But only 'IO minutes!
726
00:54:32,208 --> 00:54:36,208
Who did Be no it-Lambert visit,
16 rue Cisco?
727
00:54:37,292 --> 00:54:38,292
Who?
728
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,708
I've no idea.
729
00:54:51,667 --> 00:54:53,083
Ground floor,
730
00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:55,583
a dental practice.
731
00:54:55,917 --> 00:54:56,917
First floor,
732
00:54:57,500 --> 00:54:59,792
a young couple with two children.
733
00:55:00,250 --> 00:55:01,958
They're always traveling.
734
00:55:02,125 --> 00:55:04,917
The husband teaches in the US
6 months a year.
735
00:55:05,125 --> 00:55:07,125
Mr and Mrs Chatillon.
736
00:55:07,333 --> 00:55:08,417
Second floor,
737
00:55:09,292 --> 00:55:10,875
insurance experts.
738
00:55:11,042 --> 00:55:12,042
Third floor,
739
00:55:12,375 --> 00:55:15,958
a retired couple,
Mr and Mrs Holstein.
740
00:55:16,458 --> 00:55:18,792
That's all I know.
Happy now?
741
00:55:20,958 --> 00:55:22,000
And this?
742
00:55:22,292 --> 00:55:25,167
That's Be no it-Lambert
and Laura Weber.
743
00:55:25,458 --> 00:55:28,292
Walter, don't act stupid.
This man here,
744
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:29,625
who is it?
745
00:55:30,583 --> 00:55:34,292
I have no idea.
I wasn't paid to follow him.
746
00:55:34,458 --> 00:55:37,583
My job concerned Be no it-Lambert
and Laura Weber. That's all.
747
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:40,000
For how long did you follow them?
748
00:55:41,125 --> 00:55:43,083
Almost until the last day.
749
00:55:43,250 --> 00:55:46,292
Why not until the end?
Were you taken off the case?
750
00:55:46,625 --> 00:55:47,458
No.
751
00:55:47,625 --> 00:55:50,208
So why weren't you there
until the end?
752
00:55:53,167 --> 00:55:54,667
I was.
753
00:55:58,292 --> 00:56:01,500
You were there...
when he killed himself?
754
00:56:01,833 --> 00:56:03,625
Do you want my hide, Kerjean?
755
00:56:03,833 --> 00:56:06,083
I'm trying to find out what happened.
756
00:56:06,792 --> 00:56:08,458
So,
757
00:56:09,042 --> 00:56:10,375
the last evening,
758
00:56:10,708 --> 00:56:14,375
you saw JBL get into his car
and you followed him.
759
00:56:14,625 --> 00:56:17,625
- No!
- That's what you just told me!
760
00:56:19,042 --> 00:56:21,500
No.
That's not what I said.
761
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,875
That night, Be no it-Lambert
left his home with two men.
762
00:56:28,667 --> 00:56:31,208
One got into the back seat
with him,
763
00:56:31,625 --> 00:56:33,833
the other sat at the wheel.
764
00:56:34,208 --> 00:56:36,125
As I was about to follow them,
765
00:56:36,708 --> 00:56:39,292
a van drove by, blocking my view.
766
00:56:39,917 --> 00:56:44,167
When the van had passed,
their car had disappeared.
767
00:56:45,250 --> 00:56:48,000
I'm warning you,
this isn't in my report.
768
00:56:48,167 --> 00:56:51,167
I said I was sick that night
and couldn't follow him.
769
00:56:51,333 --> 00:56:53,542
And that's what I'll say in court
770
00:56:53,792 --> 00:56:55,625
if the case gets that far.
771
00:56:57,083 --> 00:56:58,708
- On oath?
- On oath.
772
00:56:58,875 --> 00:57:00,875
I wasn't there.
I saw nothing.
773
00:57:01,542 --> 00:57:02,625
Who were the men?
774
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,125
I've no idea
and I don't want to know.
775
00:57:06,333 --> 00:57:07,875
What did they look like?
776
00:57:08,042 --> 00:57:09,417
Describe them to me.
777
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,125
Not tall, not small,
778
00:57:13,292 --> 00:57:15,000
not too fat, not too thin,
779
00:57:15,208 --> 00:57:17,208
they were wearing shoes,
trousers,
780
00:57:18,208 --> 00:57:20,167
and raincoats
because it was raining.
781
00:57:20,667 --> 00:57:21,875
Is that enough?
782
00:57:22,542 --> 00:57:25,458
- Did you see their faces?
- You want a photo?
783
00:57:25,958 --> 00:57:27,417
I didn't see anything.
784
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:30,958
I was parked at a distance,
it was nighttime.
785
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:35,875
And now, for the love of God,
leave, Kerjean.
786
00:57:37,042 --> 00:57:39,833
And to prove I won't hold this
against you,
787
00:57:40,708 --> 00:57:43,292
I'll give you some friendly advice,
788
00:57:43,625 --> 00:57:46,875
drop this affair,
forget Be no it-Lambert,
789
00:57:47,208 --> 00:57:49,708
go on holiday and leave this town.
790
00:57:55,208 --> 00:57:56,250
Very well.
791
00:57:58,208 --> 00:58:00,208
- That's all for now.
- For now,
792
00:58:00,417 --> 00:58:01,417
or later.
793
00:58:01,583 --> 00:58:03,417
Don't call me, don't come back,
794
00:58:03,583 --> 00:58:06,083
I won't see you, I won't be here.
795
00:58:25,125 --> 00:58:27,792
- So, Bastien, you alright?
- Yes.
796
00:58:27,958 --> 00:58:29,500
- Didn't Rémi come today?
- No.
797
00:58:58,292 --> 00:59:00,625
MARITIME MUSEUM
798
00:59:08,042 --> 00:59:10,958
This boat's lovely, Daddy.
What's it called?
799
00:59:11,292 --> 00:59:12,333
L'Océan.
800
00:59:13,042 --> 00:59:14,042
Come on.
801
00:59:23,292 --> 00:59:25,125
That's the Chebba.
802
00:59:25,542 --> 00:59:26,917
That's right.
803
00:59:27,083 --> 00:59:28,292
Wow!
804
00:59:42,250 --> 00:59:43,292
Bastien,
805
00:59:45,458 --> 00:59:47,292
go to the end of the gallery
806
00:59:47,792 --> 00:59:49,167
and come back the other way.
807
00:59:49,333 --> 00:59:52,375
- You're not coming?
- I'll meet you there.
808
00:59:58,042 --> 01:00:00,417
- Miss Laura Weber?
- Yes, sir.
809
01:00:01,250 --> 01:00:03,208
Thank you for agreeing to meet.
810
01:00:03,708 --> 01:00:05,583
I came because you said
you were a close friend
811
01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:07,333
of Jacques Be no it-Lambert.
812
01:00:07,708 --> 01:00:08,708
What is this about?
813
01:00:09,750 --> 01:00:12,417
I am not a friend
of Jacques Be no it-Lambert.
814
01:00:13,542 --> 01:00:15,708
I needed to speak with you.
815
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:17,750
Then who are you?
816
01:00:19,250 --> 01:00:20,792
My name is Paul Kerjean.
817
01:00:22,167 --> 01:00:24,458
Your brazenness
revolts me, Mr Kerjean.
818
01:00:25,167 --> 01:00:27,417
Haven't you done enough harm?
819
01:00:27,792 --> 01:00:30,042
What do you want?
To sully his private life?
820
01:00:30,250 --> 01:00:31,458
Go ahead.
821
01:00:32,875 --> 01:00:34,292
My name is Laura Weber.
822
01:00:35,167 --> 01:00:36,792
I loved him deeply.
823
01:00:38,750 --> 01:00:39,833
Miss!
824
01:00:42,250 --> 01:00:45,958
I understand your reaction.
It's not about his private life.
825
01:00:46,208 --> 01:00:49,375
Please give me a few minutes
and remain calm.
826
01:00:49,542 --> 01:00:50,833
Remain calm?
827
01:00:51,375 --> 01:00:54,458
You have no idea
how much I despise you, sir.
828
01:00:55,083 --> 01:00:56,333
You're a monster.
829
01:00:56,542 --> 01:01:00,000
Between a crossword and a cartoon,
you expose others' lives.
830
01:01:00,167 --> 01:01:03,292
You can't bear being less important
than those you write about.
831
01:01:03,542 --> 01:01:05,042
Daddy!
832
01:01:06,750 --> 01:01:08,167
Don't leave.
833
01:01:10,083 --> 01:01:11,875
Look, it's Napoleon's ship.
834
01:01:12,042 --> 01:01:13,083
Shut up!
835
01:01:13,250 --> 01:01:15,500
- You can't shout in museums.
- Why?
836
01:01:15,708 --> 01:01:17,833
Look and shut up.
837
01:01:26,958 --> 01:01:29,042
- I'm sorry.
- It's disgusting.
838
01:01:29,208 --> 01:01:31,792
You even came with a kid,
to soften me up.
839
01:01:32,292 --> 01:01:34,333
No one's trying to soften you up.
840
01:01:34,667 --> 01:01:38,500
You can be a reporter and a father
taking his son to the museum.
841
01:01:39,208 --> 01:01:41,458
As for the rest,
I just did my job.
842
01:01:42,542 --> 01:01:44,708
No, you were taking care
of your career.
843
01:01:44,875 --> 01:01:46,833
You don't have the guts to admit it.
844
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,292
You're not responsible
for what happened, right?
845
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:50,833
Miss Weber,
846
01:01:52,042 --> 01:01:55,167
it's possible that Jacques
Be no it-Lambert didn't kill himself.
847
01:02:01,333 --> 01:02:02,542
He was killed?
848
01:02:02,750 --> 01:02:04,250
It appears possible.
849
01:02:05,458 --> 01:02:06,917
What makes you say that?
850
01:02:07,208 --> 01:02:11,250
A number of troubling facts.
I can't talk about that for now.
851
01:02:11,958 --> 01:02:14,500
It may seem absurd,
but I need your help.
852
01:02:15,792 --> 01:02:19,667
If you think I'll help you to Write
another article, you're crazy.
853
01:02:20,250 --> 01:02:21,667
Calm down.
854
01:02:23,208 --> 01:02:24,625
There won't be an article.
855
01:02:26,625 --> 01:02:31,042
Or if there is one,
it will be to denounce his murderers.
856
01:02:35,292 --> 01:02:37,958
Anyway, I don't know
how I can help you.
857
01:02:38,792 --> 01:02:42,333
I need to know if he led you
to believe he was in danger.
858
01:02:44,042 --> 01:02:46,417
I talked about his death
that afternoon.
859
01:02:46,958 --> 01:02:49,417
He told me he'd decided
to fight back,
860
01:02:49,583 --> 01:02:52,042
that he'd bring to light a scandal
861
01:02:52,208 --> 01:02:54,167
that concerned a lot of people
862
01:02:55,125 --> 01:02:57,500
and I would be proud
of having trusted him.
863
01:02:57,667 --> 01:02:59,833
Was that the last time
you talked?
864
01:03:00,625 --> 01:03:01,625
No.
865
01:03:02,417 --> 01:03:04,542
He called me around 8:30 pm
866
01:03:05,917 --> 01:03:09,458
to say he was at his place
but that he would come to mine,
867
01:03:09,625 --> 01:03:12,167
to tell me what he intended to do.
868
01:03:13,583 --> 01:03:16,833
He said: "I'll be at yours in half
an hour." He was really happy.
869
01:03:18,167 --> 01:03:19,833
I waited for him.
870
01:03:20,333 --> 01:03:22,042
And who told you?
871
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:23,583
No one.
872
01:03:25,458 --> 01:03:28,917
It's terrible to hear on TV
that the man you love is dead,
873
01:03:30,167 --> 01:03:33,458
announced by someone
for whom it's just another event
874
01:03:33,958 --> 01:03:35,917
like the weather and the rest.
875
01:03:41,333 --> 01:03:42,833
There, Mr Kerjean.
876
01:03:43,417 --> 01:03:47,792
You can continue shooting arrows
without wondering where they land.
877
01:03:47,958 --> 01:03:49,792
If you remember anything else,
878
01:03:52,083 --> 01:03:53,583
could you call me?
879
01:03:55,833 --> 01:03:59,375
It's highly unlikely
that I'll call you, Mr Kerjean.
880
01:04:20,375 --> 01:04:21,375
Kerjean.
881
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:23,208
JBL is dead.
882
01:04:23,583 --> 01:04:25,042
May he rest in peace.
883
01:04:25,208 --> 01:04:27,667
Forget the affair.
Understand?
884
01:04:28,083 --> 01:04:29,792
Forget the affair.
885
01:04:33,333 --> 01:04:34,167
This is Ba yen.
886
01:04:34,333 --> 01:04:36,458
You haven't been in for 2 days.
What the hell?
887
01:04:36,625 --> 01:04:38,125
Hartmann's asking about you.
888
01:04:38,292 --> 01:04:40,500
And I wonder if you still work here.
889
01:04:40,667 --> 01:04:43,333
Your presence here
would reassure everybody,
890
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:46,500
and would prevent you being fired
for misconduct.
891
01:04:46,667 --> 01:04:47,667
Good evening.
892
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Paul, it's Hélène.
893
01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:56,083
I suppose you'll eat with Bastien.
894
01:04:56,917 --> 01:05:00,042
Please don't bring him back
before 10:30 pm.
895
01:05:00,625 --> 01:05:01,833
I'm going out.
896
01:05:09,042 --> 01:05:09,875
Bastien!
897
01:05:10,458 --> 01:05:13,458
It's party time.
We'll eat in a restaurant
898
01:05:13,625 --> 01:05:15,375
and then we'll watch a film.
899
01:05:24,958 --> 01:05:27,083
There. How about Bambi?
900
01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:30,083
- I've seen it twice.
- Alright.
901
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:35,500
A film with cowboys and fighting.
902
01:05:36,917 --> 01:05:37,792
Stop.
903
01:05:37,958 --> 01:05:39,083
Shane.
904
01:05:39,542 --> 01:05:40,958
The man from the lost valleys.
905
01:05:41,125 --> 01:05:44,167
- There's a little boy you'll like.
- Does it end well?
906
01:05:44,792 --> 01:05:46,333
It depends for who.
907
01:05:49,708 --> 01:05:53,542
When I grow up,
I want to be a doctor for children.
908
01:05:54,083 --> 01:05:56,208
Wait, it's called a...
909
01:05:58,125 --> 01:06:00,875
A podi... podiatrist.
910
01:06:01,750 --> 01:06:03,042
No, not a podiatrist,
911
01:06:03,208 --> 01:06:04,125
it's...
912
01:06:04,292 --> 01:06:05,375
- A paediatrician.
- That's it.
913
01:06:05,583 --> 01:06:07,958
Apparently, it's a very good job.
914
01:06:08,875 --> 01:06:10,792
Come on, let's go.
915
01:06:15,250 --> 01:06:17,958
Daddy, can I take
my bike to Mum's?
916
01:06:18,333 --> 01:06:19,750
Of course!
917
01:06:33,208 --> 01:06:35,000
Where's your restaurant?
918
01:06:35,208 --> 01:06:36,292
Daddy!
919
01:06:47,250 --> 01:06:48,833
OUT OF SERVICE
920
01:07:08,917 --> 01:07:10,583
Hello, the lift company?
921
01:07:10,750 --> 01:07:13,458
My address is
128 rue de la Convention.
922
01:07:14,042 --> 01:07:16,875
You sent your workers
for the lift maintenance.
923
01:07:17,042 --> 01:07:20,708
They left half an hour ago,
the ground-floor door is blocked
924
01:07:20,875 --> 01:07:23,500
and I've just heard a loud noise
in the shaft.
925
01:07:23,667 --> 01:07:25,208
Yes, number 128.
926
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:28,375
You didn't send anyone?
927
01:07:29,167 --> 01:07:30,625
Well, I'm not crazy.
928
01:08:00,583 --> 01:08:02,375
- You didn't get my message?
- I did.
929
01:08:03,167 --> 01:08:05,292
I thought we'd agreed,
once and for all...
930
01:08:05,500 --> 01:08:08,792
...our relations would only
concern Bastien. This does.
931
01:08:09,500 --> 01:08:11,917
Indirectly, but I'm here
for Bastien.
932
01:08:12,083 --> 01:08:13,833
What's wrong, darling?
933
01:08:16,583 --> 01:08:18,417
What happened, Bastien?
934
01:08:18,625 --> 01:08:20,958
I broke my bike, Mummy.
935
01:08:22,958 --> 01:08:24,042
It doesn't matter.
936
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Here.
937
01:08:27,333 --> 01:08:28,958
I've a gift for you.
938
01:08:31,458 --> 01:08:34,458
You're crazy. You come over
because of a bike.
939
01:08:34,792 --> 01:08:36,625
I'll explain the situation
940
01:08:36,917 --> 01:08:38,458
when your doc has left.
941
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:44,958
Go and play in your room, sweetie.
942
01:08:49,750 --> 01:08:51,667
Can I know who told you?
943
01:08:52,208 --> 01:08:53,708
Kids of divorced parents
are always torn
944
01:08:53,875 --> 01:08:56,333
between their father's job
and their mother's lover's.
945
01:08:56,500 --> 01:09:00,333
I don't have the honor of being
at the faculty, so it was easy.
946
01:09:04,458 --> 01:09:05,708
Leave, Paul.
947
01:09:06,583 --> 01:09:07,667
Hélène...
948
01:09:08,625 --> 01:09:10,875
I'm really sorry to be a spoilsport,
949
01:09:11,417 --> 01:09:14,625
but I think the party's over.
This is serious.
950
01:09:21,417 --> 01:09:23,750
Stop talking in riddles.
951
01:09:25,042 --> 01:09:27,792
Bastien and I were almost murdered.
952
01:09:32,750 --> 01:09:35,708
What's all this about murder.
Someone tried to kill you?
953
01:09:35,875 --> 01:09:36,875
Yes.
954
01:09:37,333 --> 01:09:38,542
But Why?
955
01:09:38,708 --> 01:09:40,000
What's it to do with Bastien?
956
01:09:40,333 --> 01:09:42,000
Nothing.
957
01:09:42,167 --> 01:09:43,958
They're using Bastien
to get at me.
958
01:09:44,333 --> 01:09:45,375
Who's "they"?
959
01:09:46,750 --> 01:09:49,792
I don't know. My research
isn't to the liking of everyone.
960
01:09:50,292 --> 01:09:51,708
The Be no it-Lambert affair?
961
01:09:52,417 --> 01:09:53,250
Yes.
962
01:09:53,958 --> 01:09:56,000
I don't understand.
He killed himself.
963
01:09:56,167 --> 01:09:57,833
That proves it was true.
964
01:09:58,125 --> 01:10:00,375
I don't think he committed suicide.
965
01:10:02,250 --> 01:10:05,250
They used my article to disguise
a killing as suicide.
966
01:10:05,708 --> 01:10:06,583
Why?
967
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,917
So that he couldn't talk.
968
01:10:09,583 --> 01:10:10,750
He was about to.
969
01:10:11,125 --> 01:10:13,125
Do you know
what he was going to say?
970
01:10:13,333 --> 01:10:14,500
Not at all.
971
01:10:16,292 --> 01:10:17,292
But...
972
01:10:18,208 --> 01:10:19,833
they don't know that.
973
01:10:22,750 --> 01:10:23,625
Hélène,
974
01:10:25,125 --> 01:10:28,000
you have to take Bastien away,
for a while.
975
01:10:37,292 --> 01:10:42,083
I suppose there's no point
in asking you to stop investigating.
976
01:10:45,167 --> 01:10:46,458
No, none at all.
977
01:10:50,917 --> 01:10:52,042
Alright.
978
01:10:52,958 --> 01:10:54,417
Tell me where to go.
979
01:10:57,042 --> 01:10:58,333
Thank you.
980
01:11:06,875 --> 01:11:09,542
I knew I was right to marry you.
981
01:11:17,292 --> 01:11:19,708
Hello. Mr Guérande?
It's Paul Kerjean.
982
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,542
No, not great,
but I'll explain later.
983
01:11:23,833 --> 01:11:26,583
Mr Guérande, I need a favour.
984
01:11:26,750 --> 01:11:29,708
Can Hélène and Bastien
stay at yours for a while?
985
01:11:30,917 --> 01:11:31,917
Yes.
986
01:11:33,292 --> 01:11:36,000
No.
Let's call it an enforced holiday.
987
01:11:37,542 --> 01:11:39,792
Can you pick them up
from the station?
988
01:11:40,542 --> 01:11:42,417
The evening train. Yes.
989
01:11:44,208 --> 01:11:46,708
Mr Guérande... Thank you.
990
01:11:47,583 --> 01:11:50,000
And give Germaine a big hug from me.
991
01:12:11,500 --> 01:12:14,833
Please forgive me, Pierre.
I'll call you later.
992
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:22,208
Hélène, you're sure
there's nothing I can do?
993
01:12:22,458 --> 01:12:25,125
No, nothing.
Don't worry.
994
01:12:25,542 --> 01:12:27,125
Thank you again.
995
01:12:40,333 --> 01:12:41,833
I'm sorry.
996
01:12:44,833 --> 01:12:48,917
I hope your guest didn't think
my arrival was due to jealousy.
997
01:12:52,958 --> 01:12:54,583
Was it...
998
01:12:56,250 --> 01:12:58,292
very important for you?
999
01:13:01,083 --> 01:13:03,458
Nothing is more important
than Bastien.
1000
01:13:17,542 --> 01:13:18,583
Mr Kerjean.
1001
01:13:20,917 --> 01:13:23,125
We don't see you very often.
1002
01:13:23,708 --> 01:13:26,125
- What about your mail?
- In a nutshell.
1003
01:13:27,292 --> 01:13:29,333
This is the "insults" pile.
1004
01:13:29,625 --> 01:13:33,208
To summarize: "Mr Kerjean,
you chew people's lives up,
1005
01:13:33,375 --> 01:13:35,000
"you talk about others,
1006
01:13:35,167 --> 01:13:38,292
"coldly, without emotion,
hiding behind your profession...
1007
01:13:38,875 --> 01:13:41,583
"You stir up shit," etc, etc.
1008
01:13:42,167 --> 01:13:43,667
And what is this?
1009
01:13:44,583 --> 01:13:47,125
That's from a gentleman
in the country,
1010
01:13:47,333 --> 01:13:50,083
where toilet paper is quite rare,
1011
01:13:50,292 --> 01:13:52,708
and this is how your article
will end up.
1012
01:13:53,042 --> 01:13:55,333
He added the famous words
of Henri Jean son:
1013
01:13:55,667 --> 01:13:59,958
"I read you this morning,
from behind."
1014
01:14:02,667 --> 01:14:05,625
This is the "I loved your article"
pile,
1015
01:14:05,792 --> 01:14:08,458
"I greatly enjoyed it. Well done
for being so brave.
1016
01:14:08,625 --> 01:14:11,375
"It was extremely interesting,"
etc, etc.
1017
01:14:11,542 --> 01:14:12,833
Nothing else?
1018
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,333
A young lady came to see you.
Three times.
1019
01:14:15,500 --> 01:14:17,542
She didn't want to give her name.
1020
01:14:18,458 --> 01:14:20,667
- Is Ba yen in his office?
- Oh, yes.
1021
01:14:20,833 --> 01:14:23,250
He's always in his office.
1022
01:14:40,375 --> 01:14:44,000
Let's forget the niceties:
"You're back, we don't see you often,
1023
01:14:44,167 --> 01:14:46,833
"if you still work for us,
let me know, etc."
1024
01:14:47,417 --> 01:14:49,292
I'll get straight to the point.
1025
01:14:49,833 --> 01:14:50,833
One:
1026
01:14:52,250 --> 01:14:53,833
I was almost killed.
1027
01:14:55,333 --> 01:14:57,375
They wanted to kill my son and me.
1028
01:14:58,667 --> 01:14:59,667
Two:
1029
01:15:00,042 --> 01:15:03,167
I'm now certain that Be no it-Lambert
didn't kill himself,
1030
01:15:03,333 --> 01:15:04,875
he was killed.
1031
01:15:05,833 --> 01:15:06,917
Three:
1032
01:15:07,125 --> 01:15:09,292
anyone looking into this
is in danger.
1033
01:15:09,458 --> 01:15:11,167
Four: I'm looking into it.
1034
01:15:11,583 --> 01:15:12,958
Five: you'll cover me.
1035
01:15:13,125 --> 01:15:14,625
Or I'll resign.
1036
01:15:14,833 --> 01:15:16,417
"Cover you"?
1037
01:15:16,917 --> 01:15:18,458
Not a word to Hartmann.
1038
01:15:19,333 --> 01:15:22,125
Officially,
you give me a story such as
1039
01:15:22,708 --> 01:15:25,125
"The Cinema Crisis in France".
I have something on that.
1040
01:15:25,458 --> 01:15:26,917
We published that last year.
1041
01:15:27,667 --> 01:15:30,750
It's still pertinent.
Just change a few commas.
1042
01:15:31,458 --> 01:15:33,583
I'll continue investigating,
off the record.
1043
01:15:33,792 --> 01:15:36,500
If there's a problem,
you know nothing.
1044
01:15:36,667 --> 01:15:37,917
Agreed?
1045
01:15:38,792 --> 01:15:39,792
Come in.
1046
01:15:40,333 --> 01:15:42,250
Mr Kerjean, she's here.
1047
01:15:42,958 --> 01:15:44,417
Who?
1048
01:15:46,167 --> 01:15:48,292
The woman who came three times.
1049
01:16:12,958 --> 01:16:16,458
This may be my most stupid act,
trusting someone like you...
1050
01:16:16,625 --> 01:16:20,375
Miss Weber,
only you can decide on that.
1051
01:16:20,792 --> 01:16:24,083
I've no time to convince you
I'm not who you think,
1052
01:16:24,542 --> 01:16:26,875
that you can confide in me, etc.
1053
01:16:27,167 --> 01:16:29,583
Either you talk to me or you leave.
1054
01:16:37,625 --> 01:16:39,500
I've just been burgled.
1055
01:16:40,083 --> 01:16:41,917
My apartment was searched
from top to bottom,
1056
01:16:42,125 --> 01:16:43,167
the carpets ripped up.
1057
01:16:43,708 --> 01:16:45,625
- What did they steal?
- Nothing.
1058
01:16:45,792 --> 01:16:47,167
Nothing at all.
1059
01:16:47,792 --> 01:16:49,500
It's not a burglary, then.
1060
01:16:49,875 --> 01:16:51,625
They didn't find what
they were looking for.
1061
01:16:52,750 --> 01:16:53,833
Of course.
1062
01:16:55,125 --> 01:16:56,375
But...
1063
01:16:57,417 --> 01:16:59,542
do you think
I should inform the police?
1064
01:17:00,458 --> 01:17:02,208
What will you tell them?
1065
01:17:02,417 --> 01:17:04,542
"I was burgled,
nothing was stolen"?
1066
01:17:06,375 --> 01:17:08,042
Now, tell me honestly,
1067
01:17:08,792 --> 01:17:11,833
do you have any idea
what they were looking for?
1068
01:17:12,375 --> 01:17:14,500
None at all.
Honestly.
1069
01:17:17,292 --> 01:17:19,000
A piece of advice,
1070
01:17:19,625 --> 01:17:22,958
you're not at risk,
but leave Paris for a while.
1071
01:17:23,583 --> 01:17:26,042
I'm going to my sister's
in the country tomorrow.
1072
01:17:26,792 --> 01:17:28,458
That's the best thing to do.
1073
01:17:28,792 --> 01:17:29,958
Right.
1074
01:17:30,958 --> 01:17:33,083
Thank you for trusting me.
1075
01:17:35,458 --> 01:17:36,542
Miss Weber,
1076
01:17:36,708 --> 01:17:38,208
one last question.
1077
01:17:40,458 --> 01:17:44,083
Do you remember this man?
You dined with him one night.
1078
01:17:44,667 --> 01:17:46,125
Yes, of course.
1079
01:17:46,417 --> 01:17:48,917
It's Michel Saint-Claude,
Jacques' friend.
1080
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:51,125
What does he do?
1081
01:17:51,542 --> 01:17:54,917
He's President of a big company
in Europe, I think.
1082
01:17:58,917 --> 01:18:03,375
Mr Kerjean, I see you're still
interested in the G.T.l. empire.
1083
01:18:03,750 --> 01:18:05,292
Don't you remember?
1084
01:18:05,458 --> 01:18:07,750
We met 2 months ago
at the Brussels convention.
1085
01:18:08,583 --> 01:18:11,417
It was 4 am and we were pretending
it was 9 pm.
1086
01:18:12,167 --> 01:18:14,042
What are you drinking, Mr Kerjean?
1087
01:18:16,708 --> 01:18:19,625
I'm torn between
a large whisky or hot white coffee
1088
01:18:19,833 --> 01:18:21,083
with a croissant.
1089
01:18:21,458 --> 01:18:23,292
I was charmed by you.
1090
01:18:23,667 --> 01:18:26,500
Your arguments were naive,
but full of good sense.
1091
01:18:27,208 --> 01:18:29,042
You dared to stand up
to the president.
1092
01:18:29,208 --> 01:18:31,333
It was something to be seen.
1093
01:18:33,958 --> 01:18:35,917
The napkin in my pocket,
1094
01:18:37,375 --> 01:18:38,583
that was you.
1095
01:18:38,792 --> 01:18:39,792
It was me.
1096
01:18:40,167 --> 01:18:41,375
I took a risk.
1097
01:18:41,833 --> 01:18:43,958
Have a seat.
A whisky?
1098
01:18:46,125 --> 01:18:47,458
Mr Saint-Claude,
1099
01:18:48,458 --> 01:18:51,625
were you close to Be no it-Lambert?
Were you friends?
1100
01:18:52,292 --> 01:18:53,625
We became friends.
1101
01:18:53,958 --> 01:18:55,167
Gradually.
1102
01:18:55,625 --> 01:18:57,250
I liked Jacques a lot.
1103
01:18:57,750 --> 01:18:59,750
And I think he felt the same.
1104
01:19:00,417 --> 01:19:02,583
Did you slip him notes too?
1105
01:19:02,750 --> 01:19:03,875
Something like that.
1106
01:19:04,333 --> 01:19:07,125
But it cost me my job.
1107
01:19:07,792 --> 01:19:09,167
What happened?
1108
01:19:11,125 --> 01:19:12,500
You know...
1109
01:19:14,083 --> 01:19:17,583
to understand the workings
of a multinational like G.T.l.,
1110
01:19:18,333 --> 01:19:22,000
you must attend one
of their marathon conferences
1111
01:19:22,167 --> 01:19:24,667
that start at 'IO am
and finish at midnight.
1112
01:19:26,458 --> 01:19:30,167
Once a month, the president
leaves New York in his Boeing
1113
01:19:30,333 --> 01:19:32,625
with 40 of his closest employees.
1114
01:19:33,667 --> 01:19:35,167
They fly to Brussels.
1115
01:19:36,125 --> 01:19:39,083
There, on the 18th floor
of the G.T.l. building,
1116
01:19:39,917 --> 01:19:42,458
the branch mangers
are put in the hot seat.
1117
01:19:43,667 --> 01:19:45,500
It's a terrifying experience.
1118
01:19:46,083 --> 01:19:48,667
A supernatural event.
1119
01:20:27,417 --> 01:20:31,625
That morning, we were looking
at the results of a branch, Texlico.
1120
01:20:33,042 --> 01:20:34,917
The results were disappointing.
1121
01:20:35,167 --> 01:20:37,625
The figures in the "real" column,
1122
01:20:37,792 --> 01:20:40,917
the real annual figures,
1123
01:20:41,458 --> 01:20:45,792
compared to the "forecast" column,
the budget,
1124
01:20:46,167 --> 01:20:49,125
clearly showed that the goals
were not achieved.
1125
01:20:50,292 --> 01:20:55,042
The accusing arrow showed that sales
had dropped by 2.6%,
1126
01:20:55,292 --> 01:20:58,417
despite almost 74 million dollars
1127
01:20:58,583 --> 01:21:01,458
invested in research
and development.
1128
01:21:04,083 --> 01:21:06,750
Overheads had increased by 8.6%.
1129
01:21:09,917 --> 01:21:12,667
Profits had dropped
by 36 million dollars,
1130
01:21:12,833 --> 01:21:16,542
29.41% less than the objective.
1131
01:24:38,625 --> 01:24:41,792
In such meetings, the monarch
reigning over the company
1132
01:24:41,958 --> 01:24:45,375
checks if his employees
walk the line.
1133
01:24:45,667 --> 01:24:48,167
He wants to see their faces
when they present their accounts.
1134
01:24:48,333 --> 01:24:51,042
Some managers
were on the brink of fainting,
1135
01:24:51,292 --> 01:24:53,375
others drank for 24 hours.
1136
01:24:53,708 --> 01:24:55,917
I was a manager hardened by the years
1137
01:24:56,083 --> 01:24:58,667
and I waited calmly
for him to attack.
1138
01:25:50,083 --> 01:25:52,250
We are only American
with Americans.
1139
01:25:53,250 --> 01:25:55,625
We've always known how to be European
with the Europeans
1140
01:25:55,792 --> 01:25:58,667
and French, of course,
with the French.
1141
01:25:59,292 --> 01:26:00,792
We are here to coordinate
1142
01:26:00,958 --> 01:26:04,917
and make our subsidiaries profit
from our international structure.
1143
01:26:05,542 --> 01:26:07,333
Don't tire yourself out, Neil.
1144
01:26:07,708 --> 01:26:10,542
The newspapers explain that well
to the French.
1145
01:26:11,292 --> 01:26:14,583
To them, we are a foreign company
wanting to set up in France,
1146
01:26:14,792 --> 01:26:17,833
to avoid the tax borders
of the Common Market
1147
01:26:18,292 --> 01:26:22,000
and to profit from the advantages
reserved for French companies.
1148
01:26:23,833 --> 01:26:27,708
What's a press campaign?
Two days, one week.
1149
01:26:28,542 --> 01:26:31,708
An event in Africa
or the Middle East,
1150
01:26:32,167 --> 01:26:34,708
an election in view and it's over.
1151
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:39,042
I talked about
two main reasons earlier.
1152
01:26:40,083 --> 01:26:44,000
The second is the president
of French Electronics.
1153
01:26:45,208 --> 01:26:48,417
Be no it-Lambert is stubborn.
He won't capitulate.
1154
01:26:48,833 --> 01:26:50,708
We have bought Be no it-Lambert.
1155
01:26:51,042 --> 01:26:52,042
No.
1156
01:26:52,792 --> 01:26:54,708
For now, you have only bought
his son-in-law.
1157
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,292
We've bought a lousy company
called SCOVIM,
1158
01:26:59,542 --> 01:27:03,167
represented by the son-in-law
and Be no it-Lambert.
1159
01:27:04,167 --> 01:27:06,333
The son-in-law is worthless,
1160
01:27:07,250 --> 01:27:12,042
so it's clear to everyone
that if we paid 1.75 billion,
1161
01:27:12,292 --> 01:27:13,458
it was for Be no it-Lambert.
1162
01:27:13,792 --> 01:27:17,125
He's condemned
to a certain reciprocity
1163
01:27:17,292 --> 01:27:19,208
in the affair that interests us.
1164
01:27:20,042 --> 01:27:21,333
If he makes a move...
1165
01:27:23,917 --> 01:27:25,375
it'll be a scandal.
1166
01:27:26,375 --> 01:27:27,708
He'll make a move.
1167
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,375
Mr Saint-Claude,
to buy a man with power,
1168
01:27:47,125 --> 01:27:48,958
three conditions are required.
1169
01:27:50,125 --> 01:27:53,208
One: make sure he can be bought
and pay the price.
1170
01:27:54,750 --> 01:27:59,958
Two: guarantee absolute
and total discretion.
1171
01:28:01,625 --> 01:28:04,750
Three: eliminate any remorse
1172
01:28:05,625 --> 01:28:07,833
by cunningly suggesting
1173
01:28:08,667 --> 01:28:10,208
he is acting
in his country's interest.
1174
01:28:10,458 --> 01:28:13,958
They're usually very receptive
to that kind of suggestion.
1175
01:28:15,250 --> 01:28:18,125
We have respected
the first two conditions.
1176
01:28:19,500 --> 01:28:21,958
You've failed on the third.
1177
01:28:23,500 --> 01:28:27,792
The people we buy know they're
not acting in national interest.
1178
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:30,208
They pretend to believe it.
1179
01:28:31,792 --> 01:28:33,750
Be no it-Lambert refuses to cheat.
1180
01:28:35,417 --> 01:28:38,417
There is a fourth condition
that escaped you, sir.
1181
01:28:38,667 --> 01:28:41,208
The meeting began
with "My dear Michel",
1182
01:28:42,042 --> 01:28:44,292
and ended with "Mr Saint-Claude".
1183
01:28:45,792 --> 01:28:49,292
In G.T.l. language,
that meant I was fired.
1184
01:28:53,167 --> 01:28:54,875
How do you explain
Be no it-Lambert's behaviour?
1185
01:28:55,042 --> 01:28:57,750
He was given an enormous bribe
by your company
1186
01:28:58,167 --> 01:29:00,042
for a service he refused to render.
1187
01:29:00,250 --> 01:29:04,042
I think he let us pay so that
he could prove the scandal.
1188
01:29:10,792 --> 01:29:12,667
I think your company outran him.
1189
01:29:13,292 --> 01:29:16,333
They used me to destroy
Be no it-Lambert's reputation
1190
01:29:18,417 --> 01:29:22,125
and they got rid of him
to prevent him from talking.
1191
01:29:22,292 --> 01:29:24,292
You're getting ahead of yourself.
1192
01:29:24,792 --> 01:29:28,708
The company was one step ahead
of Be no it-Lambert for the scandal.
1193
01:29:28,875 --> 01:29:30,833
But not to the point of killing.
1194
01:29:31,250 --> 01:29:32,250
No.
1195
01:29:32,667 --> 01:29:34,708
G.T.l. isn't the Mafia!
1196
01:29:38,750 --> 01:29:41,417
Do you know this building?
1197
01:29:42,750 --> 01:29:44,500
16 rue Cisco.
1198
01:29:45,542 --> 01:29:47,375
There's a dental practice
on the ground floor.
1199
01:29:47,875 --> 01:29:49,250
Doctor Riéra.
1200
01:29:50,042 --> 01:29:51,500
On the first floor, the Chatillons.
1201
01:29:54,042 --> 01:29:56,958
Second floor, an insurance expert,
Robert Duroc.
1202
01:29:57,958 --> 01:30:00,250
Third floor, Mr and Mrs Holstein.
1203
01:30:02,125 --> 01:30:04,250
No, nothing rings a bell.
1204
01:30:05,250 --> 01:30:06,250
Never mind.
1205
01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:07,792
Thank you.
1206
01:30:13,333 --> 01:30:14,333
Wait!
1207
01:30:20,167 --> 01:30:22,708
I think there was a Holstein
at G.T.l.
1208
01:30:24,042 --> 01:30:26,000
He was manager of Austria.
1209
01:30:26,708 --> 01:30:28,875
Around 1935.
1210
01:30:29,708 --> 01:30:31,875
But there's probably no connection.
1211
01:30:32,250 --> 01:30:33,333
Thank you.
1212
01:30:34,750 --> 01:30:39,292
I'm Joachim Holstein.
I was G.T.l.'s manager for Austria
1213
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:42,042
from 1930 to 1938.
1214
01:30:43,125 --> 01:30:46,000
I don't see how I can help you.
1215
01:30:46,333 --> 01:30:48,458
You knew Jacques Be no it-Lambert?
1216
01:30:50,250 --> 01:30:54,583
I've read about him in the press,
but I didn't know him personally.
1217
01:30:55,750 --> 01:30:56,958
Mr Holstein,
1218
01:30:58,250 --> 01:30:59,958
the man you claim not to know
1219
01:31:00,125 --> 01:31:04,042
was photographed a dozen times
entering this building.
1220
01:31:05,500 --> 01:31:09,833
There's a dental practice
and an insurance expert here,
1221
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,375
people come and go.
1222
01:31:11,542 --> 01:31:14,375
The Chatillons
have been away for 5 months,
1223
01:31:14,833 --> 01:31:18,917
the dental practice closes at 7pm,
the insurance company at 6pm.
1224
01:31:19,083 --> 01:31:22,292
Each time, Mr Be no it-Lambert
was photographed
1225
01:31:22,458 --> 01:31:25,292
entering the building at 9 pm
and leaving at midnight.
1226
01:31:25,833 --> 01:31:30,292
Mr Kerjean, no doubt you've a
good reason for solving this mystery,
1227
01:31:30,833 --> 01:31:34,792
but I repeat that your problem
has nothing to do with us.
1228
01:31:34,958 --> 01:31:38,458
No one visits us but our son
and daughter-in-law.
1229
01:31:39,375 --> 01:31:40,375
Very well.
1230
01:31:42,875 --> 01:31:46,458
In that case,
I apologise for bothering you.
1231
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:57,250
Mr Holstein,
1232
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:02,375
I'm convinced you know something,
but don't want to tell me.
1233
01:32:04,458 --> 01:32:07,458
I've no way of proving
my good faith,
1234
01:32:08,750 --> 01:32:10,792
and you've no reason to believe me,
1235
01:32:11,375 --> 01:32:12,542
but, you see,
1236
01:32:13,750 --> 01:32:17,458
great things have often occurred
because two men,
1237
01:32:17,625 --> 01:32:19,917
face to face,
looked at one another
1238
01:32:21,167 --> 01:32:24,500
and seized that indefinable moment
1239
01:32:24,708 --> 01:32:25,958
that is trust.
1240
01:32:26,958 --> 01:32:29,208
Without reason, without logic.
1241
01:32:31,208 --> 01:32:33,250
I think we missed that moment,
Mr Holstein.
1242
01:32:33,875 --> 01:32:36,542
That was a lovely speech, Mr Kerjean.
1243
01:32:36,875 --> 01:32:38,583
But it concerns great men.
1244
01:32:38,917 --> 01:32:43,000
I'm just a little man
who will die soon.
1245
01:32:46,500 --> 01:32:47,750
Mr Kerjean.
1246
01:32:48,542 --> 01:32:51,333
Please come up,
I'd like to tell you something.
1247
01:32:59,042 --> 01:33:01,125
- My wife.
- Hello, sir.
1248
01:33:03,500 --> 01:33:06,875
Should I conclude that
my indefinable moment was delayed?
1249
01:33:07,042 --> 01:33:11,333
No. My eyesight is not good enough
to spot a fleeting moment.
1250
01:33:12,042 --> 01:33:16,750
I just suppose that if you were
one of those who killed Jacques,
1251
01:33:17,333 --> 01:33:21,375
you would not have left
without acting violently.
1252
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,708
I see that your brain is still alert.
1253
01:33:24,875 --> 01:33:27,167
Nothing wrong there, thank you.
1254
01:33:38,458 --> 01:33:39,917
Right, then.
1255
01:33:41,250 --> 01:33:43,417
They killed him an hour too early.
1256
01:33:44,125 --> 01:33:47,250
Jacques Be no it-Lambert came
to collect an important file,
1257
01:33:47,417 --> 01:33:49,333
they thought he already had it.
1258
01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:51,917
- Who is "they"?
- I've no idea.
1259
01:33:52,083 --> 01:33:54,958
It's obviously those
concerned by the file.
1260
01:33:55,250 --> 01:33:57,583
I don't think so.
Not directly.
1261
01:33:57,750 --> 01:33:58,833
Have a seat.
1262
01:34:21,750 --> 01:34:23,542
This file, Mr Kerjean,
1263
01:34:24,625 --> 01:34:26,917
is the history, during Word War ll,
1264
01:34:27,083 --> 01:34:30,500
of a giant economic empire
called G.T.l.
1265
01:34:31,792 --> 01:34:35,375
I think this fragment of the past
will explain the present.
1266
01:34:36,167 --> 01:34:37,542
Sit next to me.
1267
01:34:47,125 --> 01:34:49,792
New York Times,
August 41933.
1268
01:34:50,167 --> 01:34:52,167
For the first time,
Adolf Hitler received
1269
01:34:52,333 --> 01:34:55,542
a delegation of American
businessmen at Berchtesgaden.
1270
01:34:56,958 --> 01:35:02,208
Hitler received the president
of G.T.l.,
1271
01:35:02,458 --> 01:35:04,583
Arnold C. Adams.
1272
01:35:09,500 --> 01:35:10,542
Look.
1273
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:16,333
When questioned by the press
after this meeting,
1274
01:35:16,500 --> 01:35:18,417
Adams simply replied:
1275
01:35:19,083 --> 01:35:23,750
"Gentlemen, all I can say is that
Mr Adolf Hitler is impeccably dressed
1276
01:35:23,917 --> 01:35:26,292
"and he is a true gentleman."
1277
01:35:28,167 --> 01:35:31,208
The real reason for Adams
meeting with the Nazis
1278
01:35:31,458 --> 01:35:34,458
was discovered after the war,
in 1946,
1279
01:35:35,167 --> 01:35:38,917
during the interrogation
of general SS Kurt von Schroeder,
1280
01:35:39,167 --> 01:35:41,083
who provided funding for the Gestapo.
1281
01:36:05,708 --> 01:36:07,500
Kurt von Schroeder,
1282
01:36:07,667 --> 01:36:11,333
from 1933 until war was declared,
1283
01:36:11,500 --> 01:36:17,208
you presided the board
of the American company G.T.l.
1284
01:36:17,625 --> 01:36:19,625
Who appointed you?
1285
01:36:22,875 --> 01:36:26,333
The president of G.T.l.,
Mr Arnold Adams.
1286
01:36:35,125 --> 01:36:38,208
Developing G.T.l.'s business
in Germany.
1287
01:36:38,708 --> 01:36:40,417
Reorganising the subsidiaries
1288
01:36:41,500 --> 01:36:44,000
and signing new arms contracts.
1289
01:36:47,500 --> 01:36:51,083
From 1933 to 1939, thanks to you,
1290
01:36:51,458 --> 01:36:54,500
G.T.l. was given preferential
treatment by the Nazis,
1291
01:36:55,208 --> 01:36:59,708
as opposed to all other foreign
companies who were expropriated.
1292
01:36:59,875 --> 01:37:04,000
Why was the American company G.T.l.
not nationalized?
1293
01:37:06,875 --> 01:37:10,750
By nationalizing G.T.l.,
we would only gain a few factories.
1294
01:37:11,417 --> 01:37:15,750
But by keeping these factories
as German subsidiaries of G.T.l.,
1295
01:37:16,292 --> 01:37:20,583
we received all the American and
international high-technology patents
1296
01:37:21,250 --> 01:37:23,042
of which we were in great need.
1297
01:37:27,417 --> 01:37:29,833
Rapidly,
the balance sheets of G.T.l. Germany
1298
01:37:30,333 --> 01:37:32,458
showed immense profits.
1299
01:37:32,792 --> 01:37:34,958
How were these profits used?
1300
01:37:41,333 --> 01:37:42,708
In 1934,
1301
01:37:43,875 --> 01:37:49,042
I suggested to Mr Adams
to transfer the profits to America.
1302
01:37:50,542 --> 01:37:55,500
He said that he preferred to invest
in other German arms companies.
1303
01:37:56,833 --> 01:37:57,958
That's what I did.
1304
01:38:02,958 --> 01:38:04,792
We built new factories
1305
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,000
with some of the profits,
1306
01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:12,500
and invested the rest in 32%
of the shares of Focke-Wulf.
1307
01:38:14,917 --> 01:38:17,042
It should be pointed out
that Focke-Wulf
1308
01:38:17,458 --> 01:38:20,625
was the company that manufactured
the German bombers.
1309
01:38:24,750 --> 01:38:26,417
In your opinion, Mr Schroeder,
1310
01:38:27,083 --> 01:38:30,875
why did G.T.l. invest its profits
in the Nazi war machine?
1311
01:38:36,583 --> 01:38:39,667
It was obvious that G.T.l.
and its president Adams
1312
01:38:40,125 --> 01:38:42,042
believed in a German victory.
1313
01:38:49,375 --> 01:38:54,125
Dr Gerhardt Kramer, you were
the director of the G.T.l. factories
1314
01:38:54,292 --> 01:38:56,625
in Germany
and the occupied countries
1315
01:38:56,792 --> 01:38:59,125
from 1933 until the end of the war.
1316
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:00,583
Yes.
1317
01:39:01,083 --> 01:39:04,958
In 1938, after the Anschluss,
Germany invaded Austria.
1318
01:39:05,708 --> 01:39:07,583
G.T.l.'s factories were subject
1319
01:39:07,750 --> 01:39:09,792
to the expropriation
of foreign companies
1320
01:39:09,958 --> 01:39:11,917
and the confiscation
of their property.
1321
01:39:16,917 --> 01:39:19,958
G.T.l.'s factories were spared
once again. Why?
1322
01:39:21,875 --> 01:39:25,125
Yes, I suggested
that G.T.l.'s factories benefit
1323
01:39:25,292 --> 01:39:27,000
from German nationality.
1324
01:39:29,167 --> 01:39:31,167
In total agreement
with President Adams?
1325
01:39:32,292 --> 01:39:33,417
Yes, of course.
1326
01:39:35,208 --> 01:39:37,375
G.T.l. became a German factory,
1327
01:39:37,875 --> 01:39:40,708
and you fired the director,
Joachim Holstein,
1328
01:39:41,250 --> 01:39:42,542
because he was a Jew.
1329
01:39:44,417 --> 01:39:47,708
I did not fire Joachim Holstein.
1330
01:39:52,833 --> 01:39:54,708
We will hear his testimony.
1331
01:39:59,042 --> 01:40:00,958
I was fired in 2 minutes.
1332
01:40:02,125 --> 01:40:05,542
Arnold Adams came into my office.
I looked him in the face.
1333
01:40:05,708 --> 01:40:08,542
For the first time,
he avoided eye contact.
1334
01:40:09,042 --> 01:40:13,417
He said: "Dear Joachim, I'm so sorry
about what's happening to you."
1335
01:40:14,125 --> 01:40:15,333
What's to be done?
1336
01:40:15,500 --> 01:40:20,167
It's not G.T.l.'s fault
if the world is divided into two.
1337
01:40:20,625 --> 01:40:23,625
By dealing with Hitler, I protect
our shareholders' interests
1338
01:40:23,792 --> 01:40:27,042
and prevent our subsidiaries
from being nationalized.
1339
01:40:27,208 --> 01:40:30,292
I'm sure we will meet again
very soon.
1340
01:40:31,125 --> 01:40:32,667
I never saw him again.
1341
01:40:38,375 --> 01:40:42,375
Doctor Kramer,
after the Americans entered WWII,
1342
01:40:43,292 --> 01:40:45,083
in Germany,
you continued to receive
1343
01:40:45,250 --> 01:40:48,500
military equipment
and raw materials from G.T.l.?
1344
01:41:00,875 --> 01:41:02,583
Excuse me, was that a question?
1345
01:41:07,333 --> 01:41:08,708
The answer is yes.
1346
01:41:15,750 --> 01:41:20,000
This equipment was manufactured
in the G.T.l. factory in Spain.
1347
01:41:20,167 --> 01:41:21,583
They shipped it to us.
1348
01:41:28,833 --> 01:41:32,958
What do you think
of G.T.l.'s behaviour during the war?
1349
01:41:36,625 --> 01:41:40,458
I think Mr Kurt von Schroeder
can answer that better than me.
1350
01:41:44,458 --> 01:41:49,583
May I remind you, sir,
that we are not American, but German.
1351
01:41:50,667 --> 01:41:54,625
Your question insinuates that G.T.l.
betrayed its country.
1352
01:41:56,250 --> 01:41:59,625
It served ours,
and that was enough for us.
1353
01:42:00,250 --> 01:42:01,083
Thus,
1354
01:42:01,458 --> 01:42:04,625
German bombers manufactured
in Focke-Wulf's factories
1355
01:42:04,792 --> 01:42:06,750
with G.T.l.'s investments
1356
01:42:06,958 --> 01:42:09,125
bombed the Allies' ships.
1357
01:42:09,417 --> 01:42:11,083
G.T.l. also supplied the Allies
1358
01:42:11,250 --> 01:42:13,542
with Huff-Duff
radio direction finders
1359
01:42:13,750 --> 01:42:16,750
to protect them
from German submarines.
1360
01:42:16,917 --> 01:42:19,083
But the position of the Allies' ships
1361
01:42:19,292 --> 01:42:21,667
was relayed to the German submarines
by cables
1362
01:42:21,875 --> 01:42:23,583
installed by G.T.l.
1363
01:42:26,750 --> 01:42:30,333
At that level, it's not business,
it's surrealism.
1364
01:42:31,375 --> 01:42:36,042
You can call President Adams
what you like, but he was no poet.
1365
01:42:36,875 --> 01:42:40,917
When he saw that Allied victory
was inevitable, he changed sides.
1366
01:42:41,417 --> 01:42:45,250
He put G.T.l. to work
for the Allies alone.
1367
01:42:45,667 --> 01:42:47,292
And in a colonel's uniform,
1368
01:42:47,625 --> 01:42:51,792
he accompanied the victorious army
through Western Europe to Germany,
1369
01:42:52,042 --> 01:42:55,333
and oversaw in person
the reopening of his factories.
1370
01:42:55,792 --> 01:42:56,625
But...
1371
01:42:57,583 --> 01:43:00,625
it's unbelievable. After the war,
no one spoke out to...
1372
01:43:00,792 --> 01:43:03,250
There were several.
1373
01:43:03,583 --> 01:43:07,958
The Justice Department issued
an indictment
1374
01:43:08,125 --> 01:43:10,500
of heavy charges.
1375
01:43:11,583 --> 01:43:14,833
The indictment is dated
March 'IO, 1947.
1376
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,333
It was never signed
and there was no trial.
1377
01:43:19,292 --> 01:43:21,792
This is when it is no longer surreal,
1378
01:43:22,250 --> 01:43:24,000
but Kafkaesque.
1379
01:43:24,792 --> 01:43:27,458
In 1967, the American government
1380
01:43:27,625 --> 01:43:29,958
paid 27 million dollars
1381
01:43:30,167 --> 01:43:34,458
in compensation for war damages
to G.T.l.'s factories in Germany,
1382
01:43:36,250 --> 01:43:37,875
and 5 million dollars
1383
01:43:38,208 --> 01:43:40,542
for Focke-Wulf's bomber factories,
1384
01:43:41,042 --> 01:43:43,792
on the pretext that it was
American property
1385
01:43:43,958 --> 01:43:46,208
destroyed by Allied bombings.
1386
01:43:46,667 --> 01:43:49,250
And President Adams
was never indicted?
1387
01:43:49,917 --> 01:43:53,083
Arnold Adams died in 1963.
1388
01:43:53,708 --> 01:43:54,917
In his bed.
1389
01:43:55,333 --> 01:43:58,250
He was awarded the highest
American distinction,
1390
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,750
France made him
Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour
1391
01:44:02,500 --> 01:44:05,958
and Belgium made him
Commander of the Order of Leopold.
1392
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,125
There.
1393
01:44:09,292 --> 01:44:11,792
It took me 40 years
to compile this dossier.
1394
01:44:13,167 --> 01:44:16,000
There are all the patent numbers,
1395
01:44:16,167 --> 01:44:19,875
and the plans supplied to both
the Germans and the Allies.
1396
01:44:20,542 --> 01:44:22,333
750 testimonies.
1397
01:44:22,500 --> 01:44:24,208
The minutes of every trial,
1398
01:44:24,375 --> 01:44:26,917
G.T.l.'s accounts during the war,
1399
01:44:27,083 --> 01:44:29,583
every bribe uncovered.
1400
01:44:30,917 --> 01:44:33,125
Does anyone know you have this file?
1401
01:44:34,917 --> 01:44:37,333
No one, because Be no it-Lambert
is dead.
1402
01:44:39,792 --> 01:44:41,208
It's for you.
1403
01:44:43,208 --> 01:44:47,000
Read it carefully and you will find
the key to the mystery.
1404
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:50,542
But beware
of making hasty conclusions.
1405
01:44:52,542 --> 01:44:54,333
Thank you for your trust.
1406
01:44:54,792 --> 01:44:56,875
It's a poisoned chalice, you know.
1407
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:00,792
Before you take it,
you must be aware
1408
01:45:01,167 --> 01:45:03,875
that until this is made public,
1409
01:45:04,125 --> 01:45:08,125
until it's published,
you'll either be in danger...
1410
01:45:09,208 --> 01:45:10,333
or a billionaire.
1411
01:45:14,292 --> 01:45:16,208
Reasonably and logically,
1412
01:45:16,375 --> 01:45:18,833
what do you think I'll do,
Mr Holstein?
1413
01:45:23,125 --> 01:45:24,542
You're hesitating?
1414
01:45:24,958 --> 01:45:25,958
No.
1415
01:45:26,125 --> 01:45:27,500
I'm looking.
1416
01:45:28,417 --> 01:45:29,917
How did you put it?
1417
01:45:30,792 --> 01:45:34,083
That indefinable moment
that is trust,
1418
01:45:34,750 --> 01:45:36,208
without reason,
1419
01:45:36,958 --> 01:45:38,500
and logic.
1420
01:46:07,083 --> 01:46:09,958
I guess I should put
my hands in the air.
1421
01:46:10,250 --> 01:46:12,125
Isn't that what you do
in such situations?
1422
01:46:12,292 --> 01:46:13,500
That's right.
1423
01:46:34,167 --> 01:46:35,792
Go and sit over there.
1424
01:47:09,750 --> 01:47:11,083
How shameful.
1425
01:47:12,333 --> 01:47:15,083
For months, an organization
of professionals
1426
01:47:15,250 --> 01:47:18,875
has been trying to discover
what Be no it-Lambert was up to.
1427
01:47:19,625 --> 01:47:22,250
What bomb he wanted to explode.
1428
01:47:23,167 --> 01:47:26,625
And it's an amateur,
a little reporter,
1429
01:47:27,042 --> 01:47:29,000
who discovers the truth.
1430
01:47:29,333 --> 01:47:31,958
You can always say
you discovered it, because...
1431
01:47:32,292 --> 01:47:33,500
I imagine you'll get rid of me.
1432
01:47:34,292 --> 01:47:35,292
Of course.
1433
01:47:36,333 --> 01:47:38,083
Tell me your name.
You owe me that.
1434
01:47:39,042 --> 01:47:41,875
My name is Hankins.
Stan Hankins.
1435
01:47:42,250 --> 01:47:45,333
Whatever.
A stupid question.
1436
01:47:45,667 --> 01:47:47,875
Like your behaviour in this affair.
1437
01:47:48,125 --> 01:47:49,250
Yes, I know.
1438
01:47:50,250 --> 01:47:53,292
First, you used me
to destroy JBL morally
1439
01:47:53,458 --> 01:47:56,833
and make him suicidal.
1440
01:47:57,083 --> 01:47:58,333
That was where my role ended.
1441
01:47:58,708 --> 01:47:59,958
Exact.
1442
01:48:00,875 --> 01:48:04,708
You wanted your role to continue,
and you're not up to it.
1443
01:48:05,417 --> 01:48:07,750
You'll disappear,
having understood nothing.
1444
01:48:08,125 --> 01:48:09,292
You're wrong.
1445
01:48:10,708 --> 01:48:14,208
A few minutes ago,
I put the pieces together.
1446
01:48:15,458 --> 01:48:16,458
One:
1447
01:48:17,458 --> 01:48:19,875
why an economic empire
like G.T.l. is hell-bent on acquiring
1448
01:48:20,042 --> 01:48:21,750
the little French Electronics,
1449
01:48:21,917 --> 01:48:24,333
when they have the same factories
but better.
1450
01:48:25,583 --> 01:48:27,417
Because the laws of its country
1451
01:48:27,792 --> 01:48:30,208
prevent it from obtaining
the huge market
1452
01:48:30,792 --> 01:48:32,167
of a state,
1453
01:48:32,833 --> 01:48:34,583
that I Will call X.
1454
01:48:35,125 --> 01:48:38,708
They look for a country who has
no problem with the state X
1455
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:40,667
from where he could supply his client
1456
01:48:41,208 --> 01:48:43,875
without being bothered.
The country is France,
1457
01:48:44,500 --> 01:48:46,583
the factory already exists.
1458
01:48:46,750 --> 01:48:49,083
French Electronics will be a cover.
1459
01:48:51,083 --> 01:48:51,917
Two:
1460
01:48:52,708 --> 01:48:55,292
the usual procedure of bribes
is not enough,
1461
01:48:56,667 --> 01:48:58,792
so G.T.l. tells its client X:
1462
01:48:59,083 --> 01:49:00,500
"I can supply You,
1463
01:49:01,167 --> 01:49:03,750
"but there is an obstacle
I can't overcome."
1464
01:49:05,292 --> 01:49:06,375
Three:
1465
01:49:07,125 --> 01:49:08,625
the state X in question
1466
01:49:09,167 --> 01:49:12,250
orders its secret services
or a similar organization
1467
01:49:13,042 --> 01:49:14,750
to remove the obstacle.
1468
01:49:16,208 --> 01:49:17,208
And...
1469
01:49:18,458 --> 01:49:19,542
a man,
1470
01:49:20,125 --> 01:49:22,875
called Hankins for this mission,
1471
01:49:23,500 --> 01:49:25,000
comes to France.
1472
01:49:28,625 --> 01:49:29,792
And state X
1473
01:49:30,458 --> 01:49:31,292
is...
1474
01:49:32,708 --> 01:49:34,958
Second stupid question.
1475
01:49:35,333 --> 01:49:36,500
What a shame.
1476
01:49:37,458 --> 01:49:39,625
A piece is missing from my puzzle.
1477
01:49:41,583 --> 01:49:46,208
We lost your trace 2 days ago,
due to a technical error.
1478
01:49:46,375 --> 01:49:48,542
No, I lost the men following me.
1479
01:49:48,750 --> 01:49:51,750
Tell them that the building
I entered
1480
01:49:51,917 --> 01:49:53,875
had 2 exits.
- Whatever.
1481
01:49:55,208 --> 01:49:58,625
During those 2 days,
you got your hands on this file.
1482
01:50:00,625 --> 01:50:02,208
Who gave it to you?
1483
01:50:04,500 --> 01:50:06,208
Ah, right.
1484
01:50:06,917 --> 01:50:11,375
Now I understand why you weren't
"expeditious" from the start.
1485
01:50:11,542 --> 01:50:12,917
Stay where you are!
1486
01:50:18,458 --> 01:50:20,333
Who gave you this file?
1487
01:50:23,417 --> 01:50:25,833
May I ask you
1488
01:50:26,167 --> 01:50:28,208
how your little sister is?
1489
01:50:30,875 --> 01:50:33,125
That means
you don't want to answer.
1490
01:50:33,458 --> 01:50:34,625
There you go.
1491
01:50:34,833 --> 01:50:37,042
I no longer have the monopoly
of stupid questions.
1492
01:50:37,417 --> 01:50:39,208
You're wrong, Mr Kerjean.
1493
01:50:39,458 --> 01:50:41,042
We can negotiate.
1494
01:50:41,667 --> 01:50:42,917
Negotiate what?
1495
01:50:43,583 --> 01:50:44,792
Your life.
1496
01:50:45,375 --> 01:50:48,000
In exchange for a name
and an address.
1497
01:50:49,208 --> 01:50:52,625
And the only guarantee
you'll give me is your word.
1498
01:50:53,625 --> 01:50:56,292
You're in no position
to make demands.
1499
01:50:56,750 --> 01:50:59,000
Having said that,
think for a moment.
1500
01:50:59,917 --> 01:51:02,417
You know that the man you name
1501
01:51:02,917 --> 01:51:06,583
will be subject to some, let's say,
unpleasant moments.
1502
01:51:07,208 --> 01:51:10,792
You'll no longer represent
a danger for us.
1503
01:51:11,083 --> 01:51:14,167
You won't boast about
exchanging your life for his.
1504
01:51:14,708 --> 01:51:17,042
You know that if I disappear,
I'm not alone.
1505
01:51:17,750 --> 01:51:20,625
The newspaper and my team
know about my investigation.
1506
01:51:20,875 --> 01:51:22,250
They'll want to know
what happened.
1507
01:51:22,667 --> 01:51:25,125
We've thought about all that,
Mr Kerjean.
1508
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,417
There's a little letter
1509
01:51:27,625 --> 01:51:29,000
that explains everything.
1510
01:51:29,167 --> 01:51:31,542
You're down,
suffering from depression.
1511
01:51:31,750 --> 01:51:35,000
You invented information,
falsified documents.
1512
01:51:35,333 --> 01:51:37,583
You never got over
the part you played
1513
01:51:37,750 --> 01:51:39,375
for Be no it-Lambert's death.
1514
01:51:39,542 --> 01:51:42,583
You typed this on your own typewriter
1515
01:51:42,792 --> 01:51:44,500
before killing yourself.
1516
01:51:45,875 --> 01:51:46,958
That's right.
1517
01:51:52,750 --> 01:51:53,917
Well?
1518
01:51:57,917 --> 01:51:59,458
I won't be able to write it...
1519
01:52:02,208 --> 01:52:03,500
I accept.
1520
01:52:04,583 --> 01:52:06,625
Give me some paper.
I'll write it.
1521
01:53:33,417 --> 01:53:34,417
Hello?
1522
01:53:34,833 --> 01:53:37,208
Hello, Ba yen, it's Paul Kerjean.
1523
01:53:37,375 --> 01:53:40,458
The one time I go to bed early!
Really!
1524
01:53:40,833 --> 01:53:43,333
I tried to contact you all week.
Where were you?
1525
01:53:43,625 --> 01:53:46,667
Listen, it's urgent
and I haven't got long,
1526
01:53:47,167 --> 01:53:49,458
I have to leave Paris for a while.
1527
01:53:50,042 --> 01:53:50,917
What's wrong?
1528
01:53:51,292 --> 01:53:52,167
I've just killed a man.
1529
01:53:52,375 --> 01:53:54,792
What! Who? Where?
1530
01:53:54,958 --> 01:53:56,875
I haven't got time to explain.
1531
01:53:57,208 --> 01:53:58,292
Tonight,
1532
01:53:58,458 --> 01:54:01,667
I just want you to know
I have an explosive dossier
1533
01:54:02,083 --> 01:54:04,500
and the whole truth about
the Be no it-Lambert affair.
1534
01:54:04,667 --> 01:54:07,667
I need at least six pages
in Monday's edition.
1535
01:54:07,833 --> 01:54:09,083
Sort that out with Hartmann.
1536
01:54:09,292 --> 01:54:10,667
When will your article be ready?
1537
01:54:10,875 --> 01:54:13,500
If I can stay awake,
I'll write it tonight.
1538
01:54:13,667 --> 01:54:15,792
Then I'll accept everything.
The police,
1539
01:54:15,958 --> 01:54:18,833
a trial, judges,
but first, the article.
1540
01:54:19,042 --> 01:54:21,583
Where are you?
Where can I call you?
1541
01:54:21,792 --> 01:54:24,542
I'll call you.
Good evening.
1542
01:54:33,458 --> 01:54:34,500
Hello.
1543
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:36,792
Mr Guérande, it's Paul.
1544
01:54:37,667 --> 01:54:38,667
Paul!
1545
01:54:39,458 --> 01:54:41,417
We haven't heard from you...
1546
01:54:41,958 --> 01:54:44,167
I couldn't call
without putting you at risk.
1547
01:54:44,958 --> 01:54:48,042
- How is Bastien?
- Fine. He's already in bed.
1548
01:54:48,542 --> 01:54:51,083
Tell Helene I'm grateful
for her patience
1549
01:54:51,500 --> 01:54:54,042
and that she can return
to Paris soon.
1550
01:54:54,583 --> 01:54:55,708
How are you, Paul?
1551
01:54:55,917 --> 01:54:57,708
Fine. I'm alright.
1552
01:54:58,958 --> 01:55:01,000
Mr Guérande,
I need one last favour.
1553
01:55:01,208 --> 01:55:05,042
I'll be at the Sirène Hotel
in Saint-Paul-le-Village at 2 am.
1554
01:55:05,417 --> 01:55:07,500
It's about 30 kilometers
from Vesons.
1555
01:55:07,708 --> 01:55:09,792
- Exactly 35.
- That's right.
1556
01:55:10,542 --> 01:55:13,583
I need a typewriter,
a lot of paper...
1557
01:55:15,250 --> 01:55:16,250
Oh, no!
1558
01:55:16,750 --> 01:55:18,958
I won't have the strength to type.
Have you got a recorder?
1559
01:55:19,167 --> 01:55:22,083
The little one you gave me last year.
1560
01:55:22,500 --> 01:55:25,667
I'm ashamed, Paul,
I've never used it.
1561
01:55:26,042 --> 01:55:28,917
Perfect. Ask Sylvestre
or someone from the paper
1562
01:55:29,083 --> 01:55:32,583
to bring me that
and 'IO cassettes to the Sirène Hotel.
1563
01:55:32,792 --> 01:55:34,000
Of course.
1564
01:55:34,792 --> 01:55:36,250
Paul, what's going on?
1565
01:55:36,583 --> 01:55:38,167
I'll tell you everything,
Mr Guérande.
1566
01:55:38,333 --> 01:55:42,042
Don't forget, the Sirène Hotel
in Saint-Paul-le-Village.
1567
01:55:42,667 --> 01:55:45,500
And a litre of coffee.
Lots of coffee...
1568
01:55:45,667 --> 01:55:46,750
Thank you.
1569
01:56:23,042 --> 01:56:24,333
I'd like a room.
1570
01:56:25,167 --> 01:56:26,500
How many nights?
1571
01:56:27,958 --> 01:56:29,167
Three or four nights.
1572
01:56:30,792 --> 01:56:32,667
Room 26, second floor.
1573
01:56:44,500 --> 01:56:46,958
Room 17 wouldn't happen to be free?
1574
01:56:47,125 --> 01:56:49,583
Yes, but it's a double.
Do you mind?
1575
01:56:50,250 --> 01:56:51,417
That's fine.
1576
01:56:54,750 --> 01:56:58,167
Someone will bring me
a parcel. Please tell...
1577
01:56:58,333 --> 01:57:00,375
Someone's waiting for you.
1578
01:57:12,958 --> 01:57:14,208
My poor Hélène,
1579
01:57:15,083 --> 01:57:17,375
I've been a pain
from start to finish.
1580
01:57:17,708 --> 01:57:19,125
Paul, please!
1581
01:57:20,125 --> 01:57:22,083
Why did you choose this hotel?
1582
01:57:23,958 --> 01:57:26,583
I needed a godforsaken place
far from Paris
1583
01:57:28,083 --> 01:57:31,917
and not too close to you,
to avoid trouble.
1584
01:57:37,292 --> 01:57:39,042
What's going on, Paul?
1585
01:57:39,917 --> 01:57:42,917
I'm going to spend the night
on an article. A very long one.
1586
01:57:43,083 --> 01:57:45,833
You can read all about it on Monday.
1587
01:57:49,750 --> 01:57:51,500
Is that all you can tell me?
1588
01:57:51,875 --> 01:57:54,542
Yes, because it's complicated
1589
01:57:56,125 --> 01:57:57,875
and a very long story.
1590
01:58:09,208 --> 01:58:11,708
- Are you expecting someone?
- I hope not.
1591
01:58:14,667 --> 01:58:19,083
- Room 17 is just a coincidence?
- That's right.
1592
01:58:25,500 --> 01:58:27,208
I'm staying with you tonight.
1593
01:58:27,958 --> 01:58:30,958
- Listen, Hélène...
- I'll keep out of your way.
1594
01:58:31,458 --> 01:58:33,167
You won't even know I'm here.
1595
01:58:33,333 --> 01:58:36,250
I'm not going to learn the news
from the paper.
1596
01:58:42,333 --> 01:58:44,083
Title in bold characters:
1597
01:58:44,375 --> 01:58:46,958
A thousand billion dollars.
1598
01:58:48,458 --> 01:58:50,125
My name is Paul Kerjean.
1599
01:58:50,500 --> 01:58:52,750
I'm a special correspondent.
1600
01:58:53,625 --> 01:58:57,958
It's a grand title because we go
where the events take place,
1601
01:58:58,125 --> 01:59:00,000
where men are fighting
1602
01:59:00,167 --> 01:59:01,500
and die.
1603
01:59:03,042 --> 01:59:04,042
Tonight,
1604
01:59:05,042 --> 01:59:07,792
I survived the most pitiless war,
1605
01:59:08,375 --> 01:59:10,042
the economic war,
1606
01:59:10,375 --> 01:59:12,792
where generals wear
expensive striped suits
1607
01:59:12,958 --> 01:59:14,708
and their weapon
1608
01:59:14,875 --> 01:59:17,375
is a classy briefcase.
1609
01:59:19,333 --> 01:59:21,333
Behind three discreet initials,
1610
01:59:21,792 --> 01:59:25,042
a letter, dot, a letter, dot,
a letter, dot,
1611
01:59:25,708 --> 01:59:29,625
hides the biggest machine
to crush borders,
1612
01:59:29,792 --> 01:59:32,500
states, collective interests,
1613
01:59:33,167 --> 01:59:35,125
with the simple goal
of producing more,
1614
01:59:35,500 --> 01:59:37,333
forever creating new markets
1615
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,292
and to sell!
1616
01:59:40,292 --> 01:59:41,792
I was confronted
1617
01:59:42,917 --> 01:59:46,292
with this challenge to the world.
1618
01:59:47,542 --> 01:59:50,083
If the dynamics
and globalization of business
1619
01:59:50,250 --> 01:59:51,917
is in the nature of things,
1620
01:59:52,583 --> 01:59:55,167
it is barely tolerable
that it profits
1621
01:59:55,333 --> 01:59:57,750
thirty companies in the world.
1622
01:59:58,208 --> 02:00:00,583
States and their governments
1623
02:00:01,250 --> 02:00:03,833
should control them,
anticipate them,
1624
02:00:04,292 --> 02:00:06,833
define them and dominate them...
1625
02:00:07,500 --> 02:00:10,625
Given the absence of this policy
or a lack of desire,
1626
02:00:11,167 --> 02:00:13,458
these economic empires
look down upon us,
1627
02:00:13,625 --> 02:00:16,625
in all legality, from their summits.
1628
02:00:17,083 --> 02:00:19,458
They look at us
with our little flags,
1629
02:00:19,917 --> 02:00:22,167
our borders, our big bombs,
1630
02:00:22,500 --> 02:00:25,375
our patriotism, our ideologies,
1631
02:00:25,750 --> 02:00:27,875
our quarrels and our folklore,
1632
02:00:28,250 --> 02:00:31,125
while at the bottom
of their annual balance sheets
1633
02:00:31,333 --> 02:00:34,250
is written
a thousand billion dollars.
1634
02:01:37,958 --> 02:01:39,083
You know,
1635
02:01:40,917 --> 02:01:44,167
room 17 wasn't a coincidence.
1636
02:01:46,875 --> 02:01:48,125
Do you remember?
1637
02:01:49,792 --> 02:01:50,833
Everything.
1638
02:01:51,833 --> 02:01:54,042
Leaving after the ceremony,
1639
02:01:54,958 --> 02:01:57,125
your delight in discovering Venice,
1640
02:01:57,792 --> 02:02:01,000
the car breaking down
35 kilometers from Vesons,
1641
02:02:01,625 --> 02:02:04,458
walking 3 kilometers to Saint-Paul,
1642
02:02:05,625 --> 02:02:07,333
the Sirène Hotel,
1643
02:02:08,417 --> 02:02:10,292
room 17,
1644
02:02:13,250 --> 02:02:15,500
the blown lightbulb, unpacking,
1645
02:02:15,667 --> 02:02:19,667
you laughing hysterically
when I searched for you in the dark!
1646
02:02:22,875 --> 02:02:24,500
You've finished typing it?
1647
02:02:31,875 --> 02:02:35,583
Paul, what happened to us?
1648
02:02:37,667 --> 02:02:39,375
One day, Mr Guérande told me
1649
02:02:41,125 --> 02:02:43,500
that the city made us sick.
1650
02:02:51,625 --> 02:02:53,125
- La Tribune?
- I'm listening.
1651
02:02:53,292 --> 02:02:55,500
Pierre Ba yen for Paul Kerjean.
1652
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,750
- This is Ba yen.
- Ba yen...
1653
02:03:01,583 --> 02:03:03,167
my article's finished.
1654
02:03:03,833 --> 02:03:04,958
Where are you?
1655
02:03:05,958 --> 02:03:08,125
It doesn't matter.
You'll get it this morning.
1656
02:03:08,292 --> 02:03:11,333
Tell me where you are.
Don't you trust me?
1657
02:03:11,500 --> 02:03:13,333
I don't trust telephones.
1658
02:03:14,542 --> 02:03:17,125
Did you talk to Hartmann?
He'll publish it on Monday?
1659
02:03:17,583 --> 02:03:18,875
Listen, Kerjean,
1660
02:03:19,417 --> 02:03:21,417
I'm with Mr Hartmann.
1661
02:03:21,917 --> 02:03:23,750
You're causing him problems.
1662
02:03:23,917 --> 02:03:25,583
You must come and see him.
1663
02:03:25,833 --> 02:03:29,583
I won't come back
until my article's published.
1664
02:03:29,750 --> 02:03:33,083
If Hartmann wants to speak to me,
put him on the phone.
1665
02:03:37,208 --> 02:03:39,417
Why do you refuse to come, Paul?
1666
02:03:40,042 --> 02:03:41,625
As a precaution.
1667
02:03:41,792 --> 02:03:46,833
Listen, you're tired, overworked,
this investigation has exhausted you,
1668
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,542
you see danger everywhere,
killers on your heels,
1669
02:03:49,708 --> 02:03:52,333
murders.
Believe me, you've nothing to fear.
1670
02:03:52,500 --> 02:03:54,208
Come and see me.
We'll talk calmly,
1671
02:03:54,375 --> 02:03:56,500
and you'll see you've nothing
to worry about.
1672
02:03:56,833 --> 02:03:59,083
It's not true!
You're treating me like a fool.
1673
02:03:59,375 --> 02:04:02,667
I didn't talk about madness,
but about working too hard.
1674
02:04:02,833 --> 02:04:06,333
You explain that very well
in the letter we found at yours
1675
02:04:06,625 --> 02:04:07,625
on the typewriter.
1676
02:04:08,083 --> 02:04:11,000
If you found that letter,
1677
02:04:11,833 --> 02:04:14,167
you found the body of the man
who came to kill me.
1678
02:04:15,875 --> 02:04:16,958
Hello...
1679
02:04:17,708 --> 02:04:19,583
Paul, we contacted the police,
1680
02:04:19,750 --> 02:04:21,708
and they went to yours
this morning.
1681
02:04:22,042 --> 02:04:23,250
You see!
1682
02:04:23,417 --> 02:04:26,167
There was no body
in your living room,
1683
02:04:26,583 --> 02:04:29,167
no blood, no mess.
1684
02:04:30,333 --> 02:04:31,750
But they found your letter.
1685
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:33,792
His accomplices cleaned up!
1686
02:04:34,125 --> 02:04:36,083
Yes, of course...
1687
02:04:36,792 --> 02:04:37,875
Mr Hartmann,
1688
02:04:38,583 --> 02:04:39,583
listen to me.
1689
02:04:41,042 --> 02:04:43,833
I nearly died investigating,
1690
02:04:45,208 --> 02:04:49,042
and until my article is published,
I'm still in danger.
1691
02:04:49,667 --> 02:04:52,708
I don't have time to explain,
but I'm asking you to trust me.
1692
02:04:52,875 --> 02:04:57,458
I have an explosive 700-page dossier
that proves everything in my article.
1693
02:04:57,917 --> 02:04:59,958
Bring me the dossier
and your article.
1694
02:05:00,125 --> 02:05:02,375
I will ask a calmer colleague
1695
02:05:02,875 --> 02:05:05,375
to check it out
and I'll see what I can do.
1696
02:05:05,542 --> 02:05:07,875
I won't publish
your article on Monday.
1697
02:05:08,125 --> 02:05:10,417
Alright.
I'll give it to someone else.
1698
02:05:10,792 --> 02:05:13,583
In your shoes,
I wouldn't do that, Paul.
1699
02:05:14,042 --> 02:05:17,250
Everyone will wonder
why we didn't publish it.
1700
02:05:17,417 --> 02:05:22,875
They'll ask us, check your dossier
and the result will be the same.
1701
02:05:23,042 --> 02:05:27,125
Listen, bring us everything
and go and rest,
1702
02:05:27,583 --> 02:05:29,417
that's what you need.
1703
02:05:29,750 --> 02:05:31,375
Tell me, Mr Hartmann,
1704
02:05:32,125 --> 02:05:35,042
are you sure that La Tribune
doesn't belong to G.T.l.?
1705
02:05:35,250 --> 02:05:37,417
Your question is stupid
and insulting!
1706
02:05:45,250 --> 02:05:46,375
There you go.
1707
02:05:52,542 --> 02:05:53,750
Hélène...
1708
02:05:55,417 --> 02:05:57,042
I'm done for.
1709
02:05:57,417 --> 02:05:59,458
They'll publish your article.
1710
02:05:59,625 --> 02:06:01,500
Stop it, it's useless.
1711
02:06:02,250 --> 02:06:05,542
You know them. They don't want
to stick their necks out.
1712
02:06:05,708 --> 02:06:08,958
Promise not to leave this room
until I call you.
1713
02:06:09,333 --> 02:06:10,792
That's all I ask.
1714
02:06:11,875 --> 02:06:12,875
Hélène!
1715
02:06:15,125 --> 02:06:17,583
Hélène, you're going
into the eye of the storm.
1716
02:06:17,750 --> 02:06:20,125
Let me try, Paul,
what's the risk?
1717
02:06:20,750 --> 02:06:23,167
Don't move from here, I'll call you.
1718
02:06:52,750 --> 02:06:53,750
Hello?
1719
02:06:54,208 --> 02:06:55,542
Paul, it's Hélène.
1720
02:06:55,708 --> 02:06:57,000
Are you crazy?
1721
02:06:57,167 --> 02:06:59,875
You left at 9am, it's midnight.
What happened?
1722
02:07:00,792 --> 02:07:04,708
Your article will be in every kiosk
in France on Monday.
1723
02:07:04,875 --> 02:07:06,708
400,000 copies.
1724
02:07:07,708 --> 02:07:10,875
Don't tell me the name of the paper.
1725
02:07:11,333 --> 02:07:12,625
Let me guess.
1726
02:07:13,208 --> 02:07:14,875
400,000 copies is...
1727
02:07:15,542 --> 02:07:17,250
No, not at all.
1728
02:07:18,500 --> 02:07:19,500
No.
1729
02:07:20,542 --> 02:07:22,917
You're not even close.
1730
02:07:24,125 --> 02:07:28,458
No. Don't wear yourself out,
you'll never guess.
1731
02:07:29,792 --> 02:07:33,000
Listen to something
that will give you a clue...
1732
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:44,375
Le Courrier de Vesons.
1733
02:07:45,833 --> 02:07:48,042
But you said 400,000 copies.
1734
02:07:48,458 --> 02:07:51,583
Guérande used 14 months' worth
of paper for one edition.
1735
02:07:51,750 --> 02:07:54,000
For just your article,
on 6 pages.
1736
02:07:54,458 --> 02:07:55,292
Happy?
1737
02:07:55,667 --> 02:07:57,000
Hélène, you're...
1738
02:07:58,458 --> 02:07:59,875
You're wonderful!
1739
02:08:00,083 --> 02:08:01,333
Poor Mr Guérande,
1740
02:08:01,667 --> 02:08:03,833
he wanted to differ
from the Parisian press.
1741
02:08:04,208 --> 02:08:05,958
Germaine, you're in the way...
1742
02:08:06,125 --> 02:08:07,250
Just listen to him!
1743
02:08:07,417 --> 02:08:11,083
- Faster, Sylvestre, faster.
- I can't go any faster.
1744
02:08:11,250 --> 02:08:13,542
He's having a great time.
Want to talk to him?
1745
02:08:14,042 --> 02:08:17,292
No. I wouldn't really know
what to say to him.
1746
02:08:17,458 --> 02:08:19,042
He's got me out of a real mess.
1747
02:08:19,250 --> 02:08:20,542
See you later, Paul.
1748
02:08:21,667 --> 02:08:23,167
Hello...
Don't hang up.
1749
02:08:25,458 --> 02:08:26,958
Are you with someone?
1750
02:08:27,250 --> 02:08:29,458
Who would I be with in this room?
1751
02:08:29,792 --> 02:08:30,958
No, I mean...
1752
02:08:32,208 --> 02:08:33,667
ls there anyone in your life?
1753
02:08:34,125 --> 02:08:35,125
No.
1754
02:08:36,625 --> 02:08:38,917
And with what's happened,
if there was,
1755
02:08:39,083 --> 02:08:41,708
they'd have given me the boot
a long time ago.
1756
02:08:42,500 --> 02:08:45,000
Perhaps you could stay with us
for a while.
1757
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,792
Bastien would be so happy.
1758
02:08:47,958 --> 02:08:50,292
Well, if it would
make Bastien happy...
1759
02:08:51,125 --> 02:08:52,167
I agree.
1760
02:08:52,542 --> 02:08:56,208
What do you want to do afterwards?
1761
02:09:07,792 --> 02:09:09,250
Paul, are you still there?
1762
02:09:09,542 --> 02:09:11,292
Yes, I'm still here.
1763
02:09:12,542 --> 02:09:14,958
I was thinking about
what you asked me.
1764
02:09:16,792 --> 02:09:17,833
Afterwards...
1765
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:21,750
well, afterwards,
1766
02:09:21,917 --> 02:09:24,958
I think I'll try to join
the human race.
1767
02:09:27,042 --> 02:09:28,458
Come quickly!
1768
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,000
