La mécanique de l'ombre (The Eavesdropper) Edited by VNCH Ngoc Truong

Good evening.

So.

The meeting is tomorrow afternoon. I need the papers tomorrow morning.

-Tomorrow morning? -Yes.

-Have Pelissier not said it? -No.

-But it will be fine. -Thanks. Have a good evening.

Hi, this is Etienne's voice mail. Leave a message. Thanks.

It is Duval. I know it's late, but call me back when you hear this.

Pernot want Fleuret documents tomorrow morning.

I can not find documents on all your bookings.

Ok? Call me. Thanks.

Hi, this is ...

You and I will have a talk tomorrow. This is not too smart.

Your Annex is a big mess. I can not work like this.

Two years later

I can not sleep.

I have a constant lump in the abdomen.

Like a fear that something must be done.

But nothing happens.

The doctor recommends me to exercise in order to get better.

But I think I will have to find a job.

A team point. I have isolated myself too much.

I need to challenge both body and mind like everyone else.

Here you go. You've earned it.

A year sober. Congratulations.

I have worked with different programs.

I am sure that I can adapt to the systems that your company uses.

Head of Department, Monsieur Thuillier, is 32 years.

Would you find it difficult to work under younger guy?

Not at all.

If you are selected in the first round, the next step is to meet him.

Before that we need references on all candidates.

Notes contact information on your previous work.

I tend not to maintain contact with people.

It is an essential part of the recruitment process.

-The Grugy. -Hi how are you?

-Well and you? -Fine thanks. What about Marion?

We have been separated. Are you with the reception?

No, I'm going to catch a plane.

-Are you still in your father's company? -Yes. I have expanded globally.

I invest in factories in Brazil.

What are you doing?

I worked for an insurance company. Right now I'm unemployed.

Fired? It was sad to hear.

Nobody will invest in France anymore.

Clarity thou? -Yes. It's fine.

Let's grab a drink one day. It could be cozy.

So.

-I must continue. See you later. -See you later.

Today, we welcome a new member welcome Sara.

Welcome, Sara.

So this is your first meeting.

You can sit and listen, but don't hold back if you want to speak up.

I'd rather just listen today. Thanks.

Give me the serenity to accept what I can not change.. .

-against to change what I can and insight to understand the difference.

Go and introduce yourself to her.

It is not required. Alice already talked with her.

I'd want her to have two contact persons, if she'd have problems.

It is time that you will share your experiences.

Albert asked me to talk to you.

You can catch me at this number. Every day, even late at night.

-Here. -Do you always, as Albert says?

Thanks. But ... I will not come again.

I do not think it's something for me. Team spirit, beans ...

-Are you all Christians? No, but we say the prayer every time.

It means something to all of us, Christian or not.

It makes us humble and helps us overcome our weaknesses.

I understand.

Hello?

Monsieur Duval? -Yeah.

Good evening. It is Monsieur Clément. I'm calling about a job.

-It is late. Am I disturbing you? -No. Where do you get my number?

Staffing agency gave me. Are you still job seekers?

-Yes. -Well.

We're looking for an immediate appointment. I'd like to see you.

-Okay. Which company do you work for? 'I'll explain.

Can you participate in a conversation in the morning?

Our office is located in Topazhuset at La Défense.

-Tomorrow Saturday? -Yes.

Unfortunately, I have very busy. At 11:30 am?

Okay. Kl. 11.30.

-What you said that your name was? -Clement.

Vi its i morgen, Mr. Duval.

Monsieur Duval? Please come with me.

Hello.

Their latest employment was with Verdon-Pernot. Is it correct?

And.

What they thought about Monsieur Duval? Did you have a good reputation?

-What do you mean? -What did your colleagues about you?

They regarded me probably not negligible as serious and punctual.

Why stopped you? -I had health problems.

-Is The fast now? -Yes.

Why have not worked since? If you prefer to live off contributions?

No, I simply could not find a job.

-Finanskrisen ... -And what about politics?

Face the left or right?

I vote no. Politics does not interest me.

Will not affect the country's future? Are not you a patriot?

Jo. Of course I do. I have performed military service.

I need people who have a strong link to France.

I am head of a monitoring company for our national interests.

Our task is to supervise certain persons.

People in need of protection or pose a threat to the country.

Their job will be to transcribe wiretaps.

I have a visual memory, so I need everything written down.

The recordings must be transcribed entirety. Much detail as possible.

I need a thorough person who is quick to write.

I do not think I fit the job. Just look at my CV.

I have read it. Posting requires thoroughness and precision.

That is what I seek. Not just writing help.

I need someone with experience and good work ethic.

It is a comprehensive task.

The company places great demands on confidentiality.

We are too often frustrated by technology.

I do not trust the digital technique, which got data stream uncontrollable.

Therefore, I have always preferred paper and typewriter.

-Skrivemaskine is surely not a problem? -No.

The salary is 1,500 euros a week.

In return, I expect flawless work.

If they were to encounter a problem you can not solve on their own -

-Who are you asking so for help? -Pardon?

Should you make a difficult decision, whom would you ask for help?

I think I would make the decision on my own.

FRANCE IS BACK

Philippe Chalamont,-

-They believe that the Mauritian hostage situation lacks transparency.

Specific. I am not alone in thinking.

I am concerned for the families. I think of them.

The government's silence is unacceptable.

Every morning, when you meet, pull the curtains.

In the evening draws the them again. It is very important.

Working hours are from 9 to 18. This is inescapable.

They must therefore either be late or work overtime.

Never go out during the day. Not even for lunch.

Should you be early finished, you still wait until the 18 before yesterday.

It is strictly forbidden to smoke in the apartment.

Be extra discreet, when they come and go.

Make no noise, do not pay attention to yourself and do not open any.

All recordings are numbered. Include the number in the transcript.

Put them in the right order.

Write something wrong, you should shred the paper.

-Have cell phone ? -Now.

Take it to work. Leave it at home.

-Okay. -One last thing ...

Never talk to anyone about your work.

Everything you're doing to me is confidential and remain so.

If anyone asks, will they have to answer.

Do not make them suspicious or curious.

How should I respond?

Something like what the person expects that you make.

Be concise and ending calls.

It should prevent further conversation.

How do I contact you if a problem occurs?

It does not, if you follow the instructions.

Hello?

Hey, philomena. Hey, Madame.

Take Quentin to tennis 15.30 ...

-... and get him at. 17. Understood? Yes, Madame.

See you tonight, Philomena.

Slut.

Begin to eat without me.

-Are not you coming? -No. Editors meeting is at 17th

She has not done anything wrong. We've been through this.

We have had Chalamont on the cover three times. It is very well.

He does not love before rot on in the department.

He procures her a job.

We must find two solutions.

Our own and another more sinister solution.

Perhaps. I'll see you tomorrow.

Are they just moved in?

Funny that we've not encountered, even though living on the same floor.

I did not live here. I am here only temporarily.

Was that you I heard typing on the machine?

-Author? No, translator.

Hello?

You will need to call the police.

-I do not want to. -You must report it.

I do not even know his name.

-Have you been drinking much? -No...

No?

Slightly.

It always ends like this.

I drink a little ... and then end it like this.

I took him home. All was well.

We drank a little more. We laughed.

Then he put loud music on.

I asked him not to, but he kept on.

So escalated it.

I asked him to go. He refused and became angry. I'm with.

I threw a glass at him. He overturned the table.

-Thanks. That was nice of you. -I have to go to work.

-Are you okay? -You say nothing.

-What do you want me to say? -I thought you were scolding me.

No. I'm here if you need me. That's my role.

You get the speech two hours before the meeting. It's a scoop.

It is too close to the election. We need abstainers.

Yes, we have approved the document. Their tax experts ...

We spend time analyzing opinions in details.

to revive the campaign.

Three morning programs would have him, and I got him to choose yours.

There should be reported anything out of the budget this month.

Take advantage of all your contacts.

Tell him to get his visa.

I go on with a partner. Otherwise it's too risky.

Monsieur Al-Shamikh, you will have to attend the hearing.

I would like to pay to the Treasury, but I pay a reasonable amount.

-What does it mean? -We need a capital increase.

As the party's treasurer for 10 years, he is not happy.

-All is well? -Yes. I waited for you.

-They certainly begun. Yes, but I would meet with you.

I just want to thank you.

-Take to the meeting. -Is it an order?

Remember: No smoking. Be more discreet

Be reasonable, monsieur Al-Shamikh.

They are under investigation. The Minister can not take you.

Arrange a meeting. I have something to tell him.

He knows the situation. What more is there to say?

I have information about the three French hostages in Mauritius.

What does this have to do with you?

I negotiated with the terrorists' representatives.

You arrived first nine months ago. The hostages are yet to be released.

Monsieur Labarthe, I'm an enterprising man.

I write everything down in my notebooks.

Much of it should be of great interest to your superiors.

In particular, during an election campaign.

Show me the notebooks. I come today.

It is not an option. I will speak to the minister.

Remember: No smoking. Be more discreet

One last reminder: No smoking

I do not understand what you mean, because I respect ...

... your instructions ...

Monsieur Al-Shamikh, I have contacted the State Department.

They were not involved in ransom negotiations.

I did not work for them.

Did they know what they hid from the media and the French people?

They were not in contact with the terrorists for more than nine months?

They did not appear?

Monsieur Labarthe, not all want the hostages released.

There are obstructionist forces ...

The Secretary of State will meet you. That's the best you can hope for.

My lawyer involved.

-I should examine whether it is in order. -Wait.

Hello? Hello?

My lawyer involved.

-I should examine whether it is in order. -Wait.

Hello? Hello?

Slut.

Free the hostages! We must not forget them.

-Gerfaut. -Duval.

So you are our new "type".

-Have you made coffee? -Yes.

-All good? Is typewriter ok? -Yes.

Clement asked, well if you were standing right or left?

Had you the answer that you were a Communist, had you not been here now.

I work as a volunteer at the hospital at night.

That way there is no risk that I do something stupid.

I work, sleep, go to meetings ... And I drink lemonade.

As I said, you need structure to stick to.

Do AA members go to a bar? Does it fit into the "structure"?

I have never been afraid to go to a bar. I drank alone at home.

Does one have to be alone in its "structure"?

We meet, but I know nothing about you. Not even know what you're doing.

It is uninteresting.

I can not make you.

There's nothing to figure out. I'm very uncomplicated.

I buy just any cigarettes.

-Sælger in cigarettes? -Yes.

-I've only ones here. -It's okay.

-I have not less. -I just exchanger.

Moftah Al-Shamikh and his wife found dead

The Lebanese businessman shot his wife ...

... and then himself. He was accused of tax evasion ...

-I have to go. -What happened?

Nothing. I'm sorry but I have to go.

I would like to talk to Clement, but he did not give me his number.

That's clear. He can not contact everyone working for him.

There is a hierarchy.

Would you tell him something, you go through your parent-me.

Will you give him this?

It need not be so formal. Tell me. I tell it on.

Will not you just give him the letter.

What's in there?

Out with it, my friend. Otherwise I open it.

My resignation.

Clement chooses employees with care.

He examines each one thoroughly.

He chose you because you are perfect for the job.

No. I want to quit.

-Why? -I quit. Simply.

-I do not explain to me. -Yes, you do.

It seems strange.

We are busy today.

I'll keep it and then we talk about it later. In leisure.

-When? -Soon. Tomorrow, if we have time.

But you and I have a problem.

The coffee you make every morning, tastes like piss.

Clément not allow smoking here.

Find number six for me. I want to hear it.

I will meet the minister at. 11.30. Something new?

The police have nothing. They left no trace.

Major Labarthe, what is the link between Al-Shamikh and hostages?

Who told him to block the negotiations?

Al-Shamikh wrote everything he did, down in his notebooks.

He gave his lawyer the documents . Perhaps notebooks too.

-I'l research it. -Keep me inf ...

Give me the cassette.

I transfer it to Clement. See you.

And what about the board?

We must explain to them the situation ...

We grab a bite to eat. You would really talk to me. I give.

-Clement resent it. -Why?

He is careful. He will be able to trust people.

He becomes suspicious if you stop when you are just beginning.

Pardon.

Concentrate on the job. Do it well. Do as I say.

In a week I promise that I speak with Clement and take care of it all.

One more, please. Do you want a beer?

Nej. En cola, tak.

-Drikker not you? -No longer.

Bravo. Willpower. I have respect for.

-How many works of Clement? -Good question.

We know each other, but there are others that you will never meet.

Clément ... is smart. He divides us up into the hold.

We all have specific tasks. Nobody knows what the others are doing.

It is such that he is the first to know if the chain breaks.

I have known Clément forever.

But unlike him, I am an honorable man.

He would sell his own mother. He exploits people and throw them away -

-when there is no need for them anymore.

The question is not who is working for Clément -

-but who Clément works. It's a pyramid.

At each level is a guy who licks ass on the above.

We are his lackeys, but he is also someone's lackey.

Although he does as he is told.

He thinks he controls everything, but one day gets even he ass comedy.

It comes as a surprise.

Condemned. It's okay. I'm used to it.

What now? Give me the keys. I'm tired.

No. We need to get notebooks.

-There's Attorney's Office. -What?

I've thought it through. There are no cameras, only an alarm.

We go in, grab the books and slips again. It takes more than 10 minutes.

-I will not do it. -It is an order.

-You just have to keep vigilant. No, I do not know, I said.

You touch you.

You do exactly as I say.

You quit. I have understood. I have promised Clément to fix it.

But until then you have tasks to perform.

If you run away, we will find you. You know that.

Lawyers working late.

The door.

They have not beaten the alarm. Look there.

Let me know if you see lights or hear a sound.

Gerfaut?

Turn off the light. Duval, the light!

Hold the legs.

Vent.

Go to the door. I'll fix the safe.

Out of my car! Out!

We were cheated. Here is nothing.

Duval, go home to shower and throw your clothes out.

Meet at work as usual. Look at me! Listen!

Nothing has happened. Questioner Clément, you're home all night.

You say nothing. Understood?

Do as I say. Otherwise, you are badly off.

Hello?

-Hallo? -Where are they?

Home.

I regret the time, but I want to meet with you.

-Not? -Ja.

-Has something happened? -Not over the phone.

A car is waiting outside your residence. See you.

Come in.

Good evening.

Take a seat.

I am sorry to disturb you so late. It was necessary.

There's something I should have clarified.

Where is tape number six? -Pardon?

This morning the 15 cassettes. We got 14 return. Number six missing.

I gave it to Gerfaut. He would give you the right away.

-I gave him even the transcript. -Have you given him something?

-No. -Do they gave him other copies?

-Is it a problem? -Answer me.

He sat next to me. He read all the transcripts.

Do you remember the content of number six?

They are not in trouble. They can speak freely.

Why did Gerfaut that I should listen to it?

I do not know. The transcript runs on automatic pilot.

What it contained?

It was two men who spoke of an Exploration

-and to find some notebooks at a law firm.

-Gerfaut would let you know. -When did you last Gerfaut?

-Yesterday. -When?

He went at 18 o'clock.

-They did not see him then? -No.

-How was the former last night? -At home.

Come with me.

Come out here.

I know where you were last night. And Duval was with you.

No. I work alone. I do not need help.

Idiot. Do you think that you are wise enough to plan such an operation?

You can not even parry orders.

Did you not know that it could be a trap?

-It was not a trap. How can you be sure?

I have notebooks.

Everything went according to plan. Note books were in the safe.

And you can read and analyze the content?

You've always underestimated me.

Names, numbers and account numbers are easy to find.

Even an idiot like me. Particularly, when the names are well known.

Where's notebooks? -I know you.

I know what's going to happen. You know me ... I say nothing.

I expressed myself not clear enough? They should only take orders from me.

Gerfaut not work for me. He has manipulated you.

He has done it before, but I excluded him.

Those who do not know their limitations always creates problems.

It's not going to happen again.

And you, Duval? They know well your limitations?

Getting back to work as usual in two days.

They're probably shocked. But keep it to yourself.

Do not whimper in front of your alcoholic friends.

-Who do you work for? -I am unemployed.

-Where were you last night? -At home.

Why was your car parked outside Lombards office last night?

I do not show you the video.

It was not me who killed him. I should not have been there.

Good day, Monsieur Duval. Major Labarthe.

They have no choice but to tell us everything you know.

We already know who the other person is.

Men From Mr. Duval is an office admin.

How did you there? Who do you work for?

Response.

He called Clément. I do not know him.

-He pays me to transcribe. -For first or last name?

-I do not know. Is he a Frenchman?

Was he the one who recruited you?

He said he was the head of a monitoring company.

Tried not you find out more?

-I needed the job. -Now is the accomplice to murder.

-It was not me. Where's Gerfaut?

I at there.

They will have to cooperate and give me candid information.

We have visited Topazhuset. On the floor of the former.

The office is empty.

It belonged Aldoran, who sold it to an investment fund.

The var ingen Clément.

-If phone was tapped? -Their.

-Seen how long? -Two to three weeks.

-Other secret service? -Not to my knowledge.

Give me the names of anyone else who was tapped.

-Journalister, businessmen ... -I want names.

-I do not know. I'm not listening. -But they transcribe the.

What it is not. It runs on automatic pilot.

Did they help to assassinate Moftah Al-Shamikh?

No.

-Dem for which you work, murdered him? -Yes.

-They will surely like notebooks? -Dem which I did not last night?

We have already been on the Lombards office.

There is only one who can prevent the sentenced to 20 years in prison-me.

As chief executive, I can secret stamp their file and identity.

But I need useful information.

Otherwise transferred to the prosecution and a prison sentence.

In a very long time.

Hello?

Is it certain that they are not listening?

They may be quiet, Monsieur Duval, this is a secure line.

Would you talk to me?

I do not know more than you. I do not understand how I can help.

I'll find Clément. I want to know who he works for.

Return to your work, but from now on you work for me.

-How? Give me copies of the tapes every day.

It is impossible. It's too risky.

They discover, if I do something different. They monitor me.

Be discreet. Do as usual. So it should work.

-How long should I do it? -For a couple of days. One or two weeks.

Until we have identified Clément.

-And if problems arise? -I'm always available.

But it'll be all right. My men will protect you.

How are you?

-What are you doing here? -Ingenting, I was just worried.

You went so suddenly the other night and you do not take the phone ...

-How do you know where I live? -Why?

-Reply! Where did you get my address from? -I would not have come.

-How do you have my address from? -You are crazy. Albert gave it to me.

-Let go of me. -Pardon. Pardon!

So.

What will you do when it is finished? Frame it in?

No.

I usually smoke a cigarette while I look at the picture.

So suites I pieces away and buy a new one.

I have to go.

Stay a little longer.

If I ask where you have it off, I get no answer, right?

I'm in trouble.

Hello?

A moment.

Hello.

Is it certain that they are not listening?

They may be quiet, Monsieur Duval, this is a secure line.

Yes, hello? -I need to talk to Labarthe.

They hear from us.

It does not. Find him. There are problems.

I'm asking you about.

-Hallo? -I have to get me. They know it all.

-How? -The wiretapped conversation yesterday.

-impossible. -I just heard it!

Calm. It is only you who have heard the recording.

-And? -Continue as if nothing happened.

-Continue, as agreed. -Maybe intercept us now!

Nothing happens today. They do not hear the tapes before you.

Return to work.

Monsieur Duval. -Nej.

-I do not go there again. -Forget not our agreement.

What does it mean for you? What is the meaning of it all?

They are under our protection.

Where's notebooks?

Now?

He gave me an order.

Either come up with notebooks or with you.

I do not have notebooks. He knows. I have told

You look like a clerk. But you are an accomplished liar.

So you do not cameras? Well done.

You do know what it means when you do not have cap?

Are you okay?

We take care of him.

Are you okay? They are not too badly mauled?

Clement var i bilen?

-Gav the images to the media? -Yes.

-By the where they would lead you to? -No.

-Getting. A doctor must look at you. -No.

I can not let you go.

-They need me. -No.

They think that they have notebooks.

They come back.

Stay home. They took her to get hold of you. They make contact.

They will have to be patient.

Monsieur De Grugy is not here. Will you leave a message?

No, I need to talk to him. It is urgent.

We were to meet, but I can not get hold of him over the phone.

Business Association For Growth

FRANCE IS BACK

What are you doing here?

I would thank you.

-It fits poorly. I'm busy. Why did you give him my name?

I could see that you were in trouble.

I know that you are skilled, so I gave him your name.

I just wanted to help. But perhaps I should not have done.

-works for him? -No.

I know him peripherally. We encounter at meetings and while traveling.

Does he work for Chalamont?

-ring for him. -Pardon?

You heard me well. Tell Clément, you'll meet him now.

No. There will be 350 guests in a minute, so please go.

-ring for him. -I'm busy.

Go home and take a glass. It calmed the nerves.

Call him.

Call yourself to him.

Do you have notebooks?

-Have the localized Clément? -Yes.

We have not found notebooks. Al-Shamikh lied to us.

Monsieur Duval, they will not survive without our help.

Hello?

It is Duval. I have notebooks. Let her go.

We will call you with instructions.

I want two snipers with good visibility from above.

I need radio contact. I meet them alone.

I say "come" if you are to arrest them.

If it goes wrong, I say "attack" for activating the shooters.

Parkeringsniveau-1

-What did you do to her? -We are not barbarians.

She just spent the day in the trunk.

I do not have notebooks, but I'll lead you to them.

Remains to be seen.

-Men kan jeg stole på Dem? -Philippe Chalamont.

You would not want the hostages were released before the election.

I want to know who has notebooks.

I want information. Who will I meet?

-Sikkerhedstjenesten. -Who?

-Labarthe. -Lets go.

Traitors are utterly weak. I assumed you were more consistent.

More stable. Smaller hole.

-Godaften, Major Labarthe. -Good evening.

-Do not you give me the notebooks? -No.

I want that you come with me. I have men placed everywhere.

Do not you have something more constructive to offer? What I'm accused of?

The assassination of Al-Shamikh and his wife. Illegal wiretaps, among others.

-Getting. - "Illegal"?

Do you believe that the intelligence service can be intercepted from the outside?

Turn off the microphone. Let us speak together.

Pull you back.

Ask your men withdraw.

-What are you talking about? -Your future.

At the intelligence service promoted is not always based on merit.

It is promoted by building a portfolio.

When you have information, and those are the many -

-is it is best to keep them for themselves.

It is pointless to switch off the top at each change of government.

One's career should not depend on the election results.

How could evade negotiations with the terrorists?

We would not prevent the release. We just wanted to delay it.

Regardless of what information you give your minister -

-so the gap in the polls too large to be closed.

Chalamont winner.

And what happens after the election?

So I contact you to discuss your role in the organization.

We will certainly consider an appropriate position.

Their knowledge is invaluable. They're going to take advantage of this.

Duval stay with me. As far as I know, he's still working for me.

Attack!

-What happened? -They would have killed us.

We had no choice. Before him away.

Include his statement in my report.

We are in the airport where the hostages' relatives ...

The plane with the three engineers should land at. 11.

The end of a long wait ...

President Chalamont will offer our country men welcome ...

This is the president's first victory just two weeks after the election ...

Let me express our joy and importance of this for France.

I would pay tribute to the families -

-there has so admirably done all this through ...
