Original subtitles

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we are at the entrance to the Casbah.

Please, step out kindly.

What means the word Casbah?

Casbah is an old Algerian word, and in English, it means 'the fortress'.

Follow me, please.

Go, go, go.

Now, during our visit to this place of fascination,

ladies and gentlemen,

we must stay together in one same group.

It would not be too wise to be left alone in the streets of the Casbah.

Let's go, please.

Today…

You can't do that.

If you want to take some pictures, you have to ask me,

I consider it and maybe I'll stop for this activity.

But you must be very careful, because some of the inhabitants

do not like to be photographed by the foreigners.

Come on, don't be afraid.

Do something, play, they have money.

Today in the Casbah is more than 50,000 people,

from every different nationality.

French, Arabs, Moorish, English.

Now, if you stay together…

Come, come, come closer to me.

I take you to the narrow streets,

to the winding and twisting alleys of the Casbah.

My friend, where can I find Inez's tobacco shop?

To the right-- What are you saying, my friend?

Inez's tobacco shop.

- Never heard of it. - Are you a guide?

Are you a tourist?

Ladies and gentlemen, please don't go alone!

Wait…

It's very dangerous here alone.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, here is a typical Moorish café.

In this café, they do not serve the liquor because it is written:

"One drink you're a lion, two drinks you're a monkey and after that,

"you're a pig."

Oh, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, in a Moorish café…

Hey, how about it?

What?

Where can I find Inez's tobacco shop?

Excuse me. What for?

I'm looking for Pepe le Moko.

Dear friend, so are half of the police of the world.

Follow me, ladies and gentlemen.

Now I'll show you very interesting things in the Casbah.

We fail to understand why you have not yet arrested this man.

We do not want excuses, we want Pepe le Moko.

If this task is too difficult, come back to Paris, Monsieur Louvain.

You can always direct traffic for us.

My head is on the chopping block. Paris expects action.

- Yes, Sir. - "Yes, Sir."

The next time you come in here, put on your jacket.

Who do you think you are, the janitor?

- No, Sir. - It's fantastic.

We must have more discipline.

That's why I was sent here, and that's what I intend to get.

Yes, Sir.

"Yes, Sir. No, Sir. Yes, Sir. No, Sir."

Since I came here three months ago,

there has been an outrageous increase in the number of crimes involving theft.

It's always been that way.

Money and jewels taken from rich tourists.

Over 100 complaints!

128 to be exact.

And where does it all go to, Inspector?

It all goes into the Casbah, every bit of it.

And who would you say was responsible?

Pepe le Moko.

The Casbah district is your assignment, Inspector.

That's correct, Sir, has been for many years.

Have you been there lately?

I just came from there.

Looking for someone?

No, I had lunch.

Lunch? With whom?

Pepe le Moko.

Oh.

How was it?

Oh, a little too spicy. I don't like that kind of food,

but Pepe likes it.

Tell me, Inspector, has it occured to you, since you're a policeman,

and Pepe le Moko is a notorious criminal,

that perhaps you might have arrested him?

It has never left my mind.

Fine, then we're making some progress.

Within another few months they should be having dinner together.

And why didn't you arrest him?

That's very simple. It's easy to arrest him,

but how do I get him out of the Casbah?

It's almost impossible.

Impossible, huh?

I'll have him out of there within the next 24 hours.

Oh, mind telling me how?

I have 1,100 policemen.

And he has 50,000 bodyguards.

Everybody in the Casbah is his friend.

Your call, Sir.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

- Bad, huh? - Yes.

Here's another one for your books, Slimane.

The American consul was preparing a banquet for tonight.

It had to be postponed.

All the silverware has been stolen.

Prepare for a raid.

I want two squads of picked men.

I think you're wasting your time.

I shall lead this personally. Well, what are you waiting for?

Yes, Sir.

You better come along too, Slimane.

- No, no. - Perhaps you may learn something.

No, thank you very much.

What do you mean, no, thank you very much?

Look, Monsieur Louvain, you are a big man.

You can afford to make mistakes, but I'm--

You are a little man who has made too many. You are suspended.

All right.

I just hope you are still here when I come back and not somewhere in Paris,

directing traffic.

Slimane.

How long did it take you to achieve your present rank of Inspector?

12 years.

What was your rank before that?

Sergeant.

Inspector, it's been a pleasure talking to you.

You may go now, Sergeant.

Send in Monsieur Moracy.

- Yes, commissioner. - Come in.

This is Carlo Fer--

This is Carlo Ferrand.

We brought him here from Paris to pay a visit to le Moko.

This is one friend of Pepe le Moko's he won't forget.

Is there anything else you want

that you haven't already taken?

What else do you offer?

For you, the door.

I'm looking for Pepe le Moko.

That's nice.

Who isn't?

I'm a good friend of his.

I just arrived from Paris.

You must have heard him speak of me.

My name is Carlo,

Carlo Ferrand.

If you're such a good friend of his, go and find him.

Look, we spent two years together at the Metropol in Paris.

I don't mean the hotel, I mean the jail.

All right.

Wait here.

Pepe, could you come inside for a minute. We're having a bit of problem.

Now will you marry me?

Stop it, Pepe.

What's your problem, Max?

Look, Pepe,

we have in our possession one of the finest sets of silver I've ever seen.

And this here gentleman is one of the biggest

purchasers of this kind of merchandise in the whole of Algiers.

Tell Mr. Moko your name.

- Oh-- - Ah, ah, ah. Tell him.

My name is Anton Duval.

I was mislead, brought here under false pretence.

Shut up.

We offered him the sole honor of purchasing these beautiful pieces

for a very modest sum, Pepe, and he refuses.

- I do, I refuse. - Shut up.

I won't touch the stuff.

- Sit down my friend, relax. - Sit down.

Now tell me.

Why don't you want to buy this merchandise from these gentlemen?

How can I? I myself sold it to the American Consulate.

You can sell it to someone else.

What kind of a business man are you?

- I'm an honest man. - Sure.

- And that's stolen goods. - Yeah, sure.

Here.

Take this money and let me go.

Now, my dear, Sir, can't you understand?

We are not here to rob you.

We're here to do business with you, fair and square.

Then you won't have any complaints to the law when you leave.

No complaints.

I won't breathe a word, I promise.

Please, let me go.

I have never committed a dishonest act in all my life.

- What'd you say your name was? - Duval.

- Duval. - Anton Duval.

You have a twin brother?

Why? No.

You know, Maurice, many years ago in Paris,

there was a man, a bad little man, looks just like him.

George the Fence they called him.

That's funny.

You know, people always say I look like someone else.

One day, he ran away.

Everybody was looking for him.

The police, his wife, even me.

You see, he owed me 8,000 francs for a necklace job.

All right.

Somebody is going to have to buy the silverware.

That's right.

I could always feel I was forced to do it.

Pardon me.

Thank you.

You know, it's remarkable,

you look just like him.

Only George was bald.

- Goodbye, George. - Goodbye, Pepe.

I'll send you the 8,000 francs.

Wait a minute, your hat. Here you go.

Nice, Pepe.

So long, Maurice.

Oh Max. Don't you want me to get my share?

- Bye, Pepe. - Goodbye, fellas, and don't retire.

Inez!

What's the matter? What are you laughing about?

Nothing, just a joke.

Come here.

Pepe, some clown just walked into my shop.

Who cares?

I don't like his looks.

Well, then, throw him out.

- Pepe, listen. - I'm listening.

- He said he was your friend. - He's a liar.

Who's a liar?

Carlo!

- Pepe, how are you? - How are you broken out?

The Metropol, the Metropol. Five years to go.

Bread and water! Bread and water! Making eyes at the warden's daughter.

This is Carlo, my friend from Paris. Why didn't you tell me he was here?

He didn't act like a friend.

They sure protect you around here, Pepe.

How about a little kiss for Carlo?

Oh, no, she's my girl.

Go on down to the shop and get out the best wine, we are gonna celebrate.

We'll have a party, for Paris, Carlo and you.

- All right, Pepe. - Go on.

Got a match?

- Congratulations. - Hm?

I hear you just made Sergeant.

Got a cigarette?

- Was it on account of me, Slimane? - No, no, no.

Don't let that worry you, Pepe.

I'll still be around, you know.

Good, I don't know what I'd do without you.

Why?

Of all the sights in the Casbah, Slimane,

- know what I like the best? - No.

That ugly face of yours.

I'm glad you like it, I don't.

It's the only bright spot in the Casbah.

If that's your only bright spot, Pepe, I'm afraid you're in trouble.

I am?

Yes, it means you're getting tired of the Casbah.

Like I leave?

Yes, I think you will.

And when that happens, Pepe...

Coffee.

Why should I leave?

Because it's a prison.

And it's not for five years, it's not for ten, it's for life.

It's an awfully long time, Pepe.

I have everything I want here. Hm?

- Everything? - Sure.

What else could I want?

I don't know. Change of scenery, maybe.

A little excitement, travel, you know.

A night in Monte Carlo or in Paris.

Freedom, maybe.

You look tired, Slimane, hm?

You need a long vacation.

A long rest.

Can't.

Got an idea, it's working in here, doesn't let me rest.

What is it?

You.

- Monsieur. - Slimane.

♪ Love, love, hooray for love

♪ Who was ever too blase for love

♪ Make this the night for love

♪ If we have to fight, let's fight for love

♪ Some sigh and cry for love

♪ Ah, but in Paree they die for love

♪ Some waste away for love

♪ Just the same - hooray for love!

Pepe, I have--

Cigarettes, please.

It's all right, Omar, you're among friends.

Who is he?

This is my friend Carlo from Paris. We used to work together.

He should be more discreet, shouting your name all over the place.

Now, it's all right that you're here, where nobody can touch you.

But I have to go in and get out of the Casbah every day.

I know you have to be careful, but not of Carlo.

Ah! I've got to stop it, I mean, it's--

Here's the money from the last haul.

I got rid of everything…

- You're quite a man, Omar. - …except this here.

The called idiot, he didn't want to take it.

He said it doesn't work. Well, it doesn't. If you want…

Throw it away.

Oh. Thank you. I'll throw it away, later.

So have a drink.

Oh, Pepe, I forgot to tell you.

- I have a party at Odette's. - So?

Four. Two men and two women.

They came on a yacht.

Pepe! Such a yacht.

Well?

Don't you understand?

One of the men has nothing but money.

And one of the women is covered with diamonds.

Such diamonds!

I'll be right back.

Pepe.

My fingers are itching for work.

Stay here, this is your party.

If you don't mind, I'd like to go.

I do mind.

He's going to Odette's.

May I have a light, please?

Certainly.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

- Drink, Pepe? - Thanks.

You know, some day you're going to give my place a bad name, Pepe.

At Odette's.

Come here.

What's the matter, Pepe?

I thought you went to your party.

- I got bored. - Oh?

See you later, Slimane.

I hope you're not leaving.

I beg your pardon?

It can be dangerous to walk through the Casbah this late

wearing all those diamonds.

Are there thieves in the casbah?

Yes.

Big thieves.

What would you suggest?

I suggest you be careful.

Well, things are beginning to pick up around here.

Won't you sit down and tell us more?

May I?

Why not? I didn't invite you.

Thanks.

My husband, Pierre Leclerc.

Monsieur Durand, Mademoiselle Trénaud.

Mademoiselle?

Mademoiselle. Monsieur Durand is my fiancée.

Would you fiancée mind if I asked you to dance?

Yes, who are you?

Just part of the local color.

Let's not be impolite, Claude.

I'd like very much to dance with this… gentleman.

Is he always so possessive?

- Who? - Your boyfriend.

You just annoy him.

And you?

Anything for a little amusement.

This Claude, he's got lots of money, huh?

Yes, but don't get any bright ideas.

Why not?

You wouldn't get very far.

You did all right, didn't you?

Do you live here in the Casbah?

Yeah.

Do people like each other in the Casbah?

Very much.

Sometimes they even get married?

Yeah, big weddings.

Good. I'm going to marry Monsieur Durand.

See how simple it is?

I understand, it's love.

Just a case of pure love.

You understand things so well.

We are both after the same thing.

I'll bet my methods are a little different than yours.

I don't have as much to work with as you do.

You are no longer amusing.

This isn't a circus, Mademoiselle. I'm not here to amuse you.

Shall we go back to the table now?

Keep playing.

Does everyone here take orders from you?

Let's say they just like to cooperate.

Let's say they do.

But I don't.

Don't be foolish, Mademoiselle.

You're a long way from home.

Stay where you are.

Nobody move.

Say, what is this?

It's a raid.

Ah, le Moko.

Here, put them on.

Wait for me, I'll be be right back.

All right, take him.

Come on, quickly.

Let's go.

Madame, aren't you going to wait?

I beg your pardon?

He'll be right back, didn't he say so?

But the police have arrested him.

That doesn't mean very much.

They'll never get him out of the Casbah.

See, for years he has been getting away from the police.

They can't be be that stupid.

But they are, Sir, they are very stupid.

I know. I'm one of them.

Permit me. Inspector Slimane.

How do you do.

Shall we go, Gaby?

Why don't we stay, Claude?

- It's exciting, I like it. - But I thought--

- Have you seen the gambling room? - The gambling room?

Oh, it's beautiful, just like Monte Carlo.

Let's try it, Claude.

All right.

- I feel lucky. - That's the time to try it, Sir.

We're gonna stay and gamble.

Madame, if you are to see the finish of the dance,

- I'll be very happy to be with you. - Yes.

You go ahead, Claude, I'll be right alone.

She'll be perfectly safe with me, don't you think so, Sir?

All right, I'll put a bet down for you.

Good luck, Monsieur.

I have a wonderful system.

Should we have a drink in the meantime?

Come. Hurry.

Quick.

Damn it!

[French]

This is only your first, that's already my--

Slimane, got a match?

You see, it didn't take him very long.

Give these back to your boss, hm?

You mind if I keep them?

What for?

For you.

Shall we finish our dance?

What did he say?

He likes you.

What else?

Nothing. Just who you are.

- Did he tell you what I do? - No.

But he told me why you couldn't leave the Casbah.

Where are your friends?

The gambling room.

Don't you gamble?

Only if I win.

There is a terrace where we really can see the Casbah.

I don't think my my friends would understand.

What if they don't?

They're waiting for me.

Let me go.

They don't count here.

Please.

Please.

Here, take this.

It's very expensive, really it is.

What's it worth?

Oh, I don't know. 50,000 francs?

50,000 francs? That's a lot of money.

All for love.

Pure, pure love.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning.

What do you want?

I? Nothing.

What happened?

Why didn't you tell me we'd be met with goats and garbage?

Garbage? That's new. I never heard of that before.

I'll get Pepe le Moko out of there.

- You will? - Yes, if it's the last thing I do.

It may be.

- Your medicine, Sir. - No, no, no.

You still think I ought to leave the job to you?

You intend to deliver le Moko, eh?

When, Sergeant?

Inspector.

When, Inspector?

Soon.

How soon?

Oh, in a few days.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Going for a swim? It's warm.

Good morning. Sleep well?

Yes, thank you.

Did you find your vanity case?

No, Claude. I guess I did leave it in that place last night.

I'm sorry.

Solid gold with four diamonds…

If Pierre had given me anything like that

we never would have gotten married.

Why do you say that?

I would have dropped dead.

I've heard people don't lose things by accident.

What are you driving at, Claude?

You're a smart girl, Gaby.

Oh.

The handsome thief forces his attentions on me

whereupon I fall in love with him

and forget my gold vanity case to show that I don't want to leave.

Is that it?

You're way ahead of me, Gaby.

If you don't trust me to handle such matters, please say so.

Don't try to be subtle. It doesn't become you.

Of course I trust you, Gaby.

I'd be a fool no to, wouldn't I?

When do we sail out of here?

Any time you say.

Tomorrow then?

Will that make you feel sure of me?

Seems to me you're the one that's not sure.

Oh, the Inspector.

Hello. I'm sorry to intrude.

Good morning. Oh, this is beautiful.

- Mesdames. - What are you doing here, Inspector?

Oh, you remember this?

- I'm sure you missed it. - Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Wasn't it nice of him to bring this?

Where did you find it?

I didn't find it, a friend of mine did.

Pepe le Moko.

- Would you like a drink? - Yes, please.

He would have liked to bring it himself,

but unfortunately he finds himself unable to leave the Casbah.

Petty criminal with romantic notions.

- He's not a petty criminal. - Well, a thief then.

Yes, but not petty. He's a… He's a very remarkable thief.

You see, Inspector, Monsieur Durand is a scrupulously honest man.

He didn't make all his money on the black market.

Just most of it.

Thank you, Gaby.

In my opinion, any man that steals for a living is a fool.

That's right.

You once stole something, darling, remember?

Oh?

A boy's prank.

Police caught you the next day.

You couldn't elude a blind bat.

I don't know what is so remarkable about Pepe, but…

Yes, he's a thief. He…

He's charming, he's romantic, but…

there's more to it than that.

Well, that's enough for me.

See, if Pepe wants something, he…

He's willing to risk much more than anybody else I know.

Oh, really?

For a few diamonds, he lost his freedom, and…

for love, I think he'd give up his life.

Then how is it that he's still alive, Inspector?

That I don't know.

Maybe he's never met the right woman.

I'll see you all tonight at the festival.

Festival?

No, we're sailing tomorrow early.

Oh, no, please. You can't miss that.

It's only once a year.

The most wonderful dancers and musicians will perform for you.

It's our last night here, Claude.

I don't see any harm in going, do you?

- Oh, please, you sure-- - Please, Claude.

All right.

If the Inspector will guide us, so we don't lose anymore vanity cases.

It'll be a great pleasure, Sir, and I assure you, you won't regret it.

Madame.

See you tonight at the Place de l'Algiers.

- Madame. - Bye.

Look, I told you I have none--

Hello, Pepe.

Say, you know something?

This isn't very far.

A few more steps and you'd be outside.

You don't want me to get me that easy, do you, Slimane?

Why not?

When do you want me to leave, today?

No, tomorrow will be fine.

- I'm disappointed in you. - Why?

You give up so easy.

Yes.

Got a cigarette, Pepe?

- You know, about last night-- - What about last night?

About that raid. I want to apologize.

Well, what can you expect from the police?

If that's the best they can do, I'd be better off living outside.

- Downtown at the hotel. - Sure.

You're absolutely right, except you don't want to live outside.

You've got everything you want right here.

That's what you said.

- Good morning. - Everything.

Relax, Slimane, it was just a thought.

Early morning head ache, you know.

I know what that is.

Still, about last night…

You know, it was very exciting, especially that…

That lady, what's her name, Mademoiselle… Trénaud.

Mademoiselle who?

You know, the one whose bracelet you refused to take.

I admit she is beautiful.

Beautiful woman.

Beautiful bracelet.

Bra-- Oh, pardon me, I forgot.

Attractive women. It's nothing new to you.

There's something new in every woman.

Aren't you interested?

I'd risk a little trouble for her.

I know you would.

But not enough to make you happy.

Oh, Pepe.

But you have to admit she has something unusual.

She's got a yearning for adventure, for excitement.

Who hasn't?

Yes, it's a shame, that silly man.

He'll make her very unhappy.

He's a playboy.

He's too tired to appreciate her.

She's got everything she wants.

How would she know?

I tell you she's never been in love. Never.

- Slimane, I can't believe it. - What?

You playing Cupid.

Oh, you would make a nice couple.

What'd you tell her about me?

What could I tell her?

She shocked of my past?

No.

She was a little appalled at your future, but…

'Don't worry, I fixed it', I told her.

Good lawyer, you'll get off with 20 years.

Do you think I'd leave the Casbah for any woman?

No.

Not for any woman.

A drink, Madame?

A dance, Madame?

May I slap your face, Madame?

Very funny!

How'd the police know I was at Odette's last night?

Well?

Not me, Pepe.

I was drunk.

Too drunk to move. You know that.

- Max! - Me, a Judas?

I was at the party--

Pepe I'm so happy to s--

To see you.

That raid, I couldn't sleep all night.

My heart is still pounding.

What are you nervous about?

I don't talk to you.

You knew Pepe was going to Odette's before anybody else did.

What is he--

All I know is that the raid came the same night he showed up.

Say the word, Pepe, I'll cut his throat.

Pepe, you know for you I risk my life.

But by the honour of my family

I wouldn't take anything from this two-faced swindle.

Look at his shirt.

Striped silk!

That's enough, Omar.

That's enough.

Let him alone.

And get out. Go on.

Get out. All of you. Go on.

You, too.

I wouldn't trust any of them, Pepe.

Especially Omar.

Sit down.

Pepe…

Get me a drink.

- Pepe, I didn't mean to-- - I said get me a drink.

Got to get out of here.

You don't know what you're saying, Pepe.

The dirt and the noise.

Day in, day out. I'm getting fed up.

Sure, I know.

You're not going anywhere.

I thought you were my friend.

I am!

I'd do anything for you, Pepe, you know that.

Got to leave.

Be sensible.

You said you'd do anything for me.

You can't leave.

You know what would happen to you if you did.

You get to Paris by plane in six hours.

You're crazy!

Are you with me?

You'll never make it.

Are you with me?

Anything you say, Pepe.

Pepe?

The festival starts tonight.

Hundreds of people will be going in and out of the Casbah.

The police will be kept busy.

We'll leave then.

- Pepe? - See you later.

Pepe?

You're all dressed up.

You like it?

Yeah, very much.

You know, Inez, I…

You're still angry with me.

No, no.

You know, I was jealous of that woman.

Yes, I know.

That silly woman with all the diamonds.

I suppose she thought you were really interested in her.

Forget it.

Pepe?

Sometimes, when you get angry with me,

well, it's all right, I understand.

You're a fine girl, Inez.

Remember last year at the festival, how we sang and danced?

Let's do it again tonight.

I won't be here.

- Where are you going? - I'm leaving.

You're leaving the Casbah?

- Yes. - Why?

It's that woman!

Before she came you never talked like that.

Stop it, Inez!

Don't you understand? Don't you see, Pepe?

She came here to look at the zoo, at the monkey in the cage.

She had nothing to do with it.

There is no outside for you.

Just me and the Casbah.

You'll never get out, they'll get you.

So they'll get me.

- Take me with you. - It's too dangerous.

I don't care. Take me with you.

You think you can just get up and go?

Well, I tell you, when you go and they'll carry you out, that's when.

Go on, run to your woman. See how far you get.

I'll never forget you, Inez.

Pepe, I love you.

Yes?

Yes.

He's leaving, eh?

Don't worry. We'll be there.

Come on, let's go.

Pepe.

Pepe, don't go.

Inez, come on.

How do you know it isn't a trap?

Pepe, you don't have to go.

She's back.

Where?

At the Place de l'Algiers, with Slimane.

Why don't you give up?

No woman can hold Pepe.

Maybe not.

You are not the first one that's tried it.

I'll tell you this:

I'll be the last.

It is a little crowded around here.

Hungry, Abdullah?

You see, all during the festival they are not allowed

to eat, drink, smoke, or enjoy the company of the other sex.

That's in daytime.

That's very interesting.

We are going this way.

Claude, look what's going over here.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Invalids, children and travellers,

they don't have to observe the fast.

Muhammed must have been in favor of the tourist trade.

Yes, we all are.

Oh, we go this way, Sir.

We came back for the festival.

Just for the festival?

We are sailing in the morning and we didn't want to miss it.

High up you can see everything.

But how will I find my way back?

Let me worry about that.

But you won't.

You are beginning to understand me.

It's a beautiful song.

It means it was written in the stars.

The fires are small from up here.

What was written in the stars shall be.

Those men in white robes…

♪ It was written in the stars

♪ What was written in the stars shall be

♪ It was written in the skies

♪ That the heart and not the eyes shall see

♪ And so whether it bring joy

♪ Whether it bring woe

♪ It shall be done

♪ Now suddenly I know

♪ You are the one

♪ Here as in a daydream

♪ By my side you stand

♪ Here with my tomorrows

♪ In your hands

♪ It was written high above

♪ That I have to have your love

♪ Or I'll never be free

♪ And cloudy though the day be

♪ Crazy though I may be

♪ What the stars foretold shall be

♪ And so

♪ Shall it be

Oh, Monsieur, Monsieur, Monsieur, Monsieur.

It's about time. Well, where is she?

Please, you are looking at a very unhappy man.

She's gone.

- What do you mean, gone? - Gone. She's disappeared.

If anything happened to her, I'll hold you responsible.

He'll hold you responsible.

That's your privilege, but please don't get excited.

- Just give me a few minutes. - A few minutes? You've had an hour.

So a few more minutes won't hurt.

I have to find her. I don't know where she is.

Could be anywhere, could be with Pepe le Moko.

- That's a lie! - I don't believe that, Inspector.

- I didn't say she was. - Yeah, that's right.

She's probably back at the yacht, waiting for us. Come on, Claude.

That's possible. If you permit me, my man is going to take you down.

- We'll manage. - We'll manage.

Please. What if something happens to you?

Never mind.

- Inspector, I think you are cute. - Huh?

It's getting light now.

You'd ordered everybody around.

Order to stay dark for me.

You can have it dark or light.

Anything you want.

Suppose I want rainbows?

You can have rainbows.

Suppose I want them every day.

Uh-uh.

Only on Sundays.

What were you like as… as a little boy?

I was skinny.

You were very clever.

I was very angry.

Why?

Suppose I wanted all the things I couldn't have.

I wanted things too.

But in my time they had a strange notion.

They insisted that you go to work.

I had a job once.

- No. - Yeah, selling wine.

Nobody liked the wine except me.

So I drank up all the samples.

What did you do after that?

Well, after that I was very unhappy.

Then one morning I woke up with a great idea.

'Pepe,' I said to myself…

'Pepe,' you said to yourself, 'why be so unhappy?'

'If you want things so badly, take them.'

How did you know?

I had the same idea.

But I wanted to be respectable.

So now you've got everything you want.

Mm-hm.

You know what I'd give to live outside the Casbah the way you do?

Lots of people live outside,

on yachts, in mansions,

only they don't call it the Casbah.

I must go now.

Why?

- They'll sail without me. - What if they do?

You don't really want me to stay. You don't have to pretend.

I'm not pretending.

Please.

Don't make it difficult for me.

Gaby. Gaby, wait. Don't go.

It won't be long, I'll get out.

- But you can't. - I can!

We'll go to a little town outside of Paris.

No one will know me there.

Yes, I can just see you in a small town.

Why not? Do you think I like this life so much I can't give it up?

I've had enough of it, Gaby.

Gaby, we can live like everybody else.

You'd be bored. You'd want to go to Paris.

We'll go to Paris. We'll see all the places I used to know.

The cafés and the shops…

Do you know the little square on top of Montmartre?

Yeah, I used to eat there all the time.

We could go to the Latin Quarter.

I must go now.

- Pepe-- - Down those steps.

Well, what are you waiting for?

You didn't understand.

I came for a little adventure.

It's light now, fun's all over.

And I have to go back.

Nobody's keeping you.

When we danced, you said we were after the same things.

But my methods were different than yours.

It's true.

All right, it's true. Go on.

I'll tell Claude I was lost.

He'll be sorry.

He'll buy me another bracelet and that's what I want.

Of course.

That's what you want.

Anyone could see that.

I didn't think I'd ever feel this way.

You can go, Gaby.

It won't make any difference. I'll follow you.

You wouldn't do that.

It'd be foolish, the police would get you.

I'll take that chance.

When you think it over, you'll change your mind. I know you will.

It's no use, Gaby.

You might as well stay.

I'll come back.

When?

Tonight.

Promise?

Yes.

Yes, I promise.

Tonight, Odette's.

Eight o'clock.

Eight o'clock.

Pepe…

♪ What's good about goodbye?

♪ What's fair about farewell?

♪ You know a broken heart

♪ Can come from such a broken spell

♪ Your love could bring eternal spring

♪ Your kiss could be a magic thing

♪ Your smile could be a shining light

♪ Burning from day to day

♪ More lovely from night to night

♪ But if you should go away

♪ Our dream would go astray

♪ Our song would be a sigh

♪ Say you're mine forever

♪ Say you're mine but never

♪ Say goodbye

Waiting for someone, Inez?

Leave me alone.

I won't.

You look like you might get into trouble.

You… You brought her in here and I know why.

I know how you feel.

We both want Pepe more than anything on earth.

I won't lose him, Slimane.

Oh, but you will very soon. Very soon.

Oh, here you are, Madame, here you are. I am so happy.

Oh, Inspector.

Oh, just think! He would have held me responsible.

All your friends, they are so worried.

Worried?

They needn't worry anymore.

Does that mean that you… that you'll sail with them?

Yes, right away.

Oh, that's good, that's good.

Now, if you excuse me, Madame, I have a cab waiting for you.

- Thank you. - Right outside the gate.

Madame.

I suppose it hurts, huh?

Stay out of it.

Where were you, Gaby?

Paris,

Montmartre, and Montparnasse.

All over.

It's seven o'clock.

Is it really?

Where were you?

- Let's say I was lost. - You expect me to believe that?

Believe anything you like.

We're gonna settle this right now.

All right, let's settle it.

I think I've been pretty decent to you, Gaby.

I took you out of that cheap little dress shop,

put clothes on your back, furs, jewels and then…

I'm deeply grateful, Claude.

- Gaby. - Yes, Claude.

We're gonna sail out of here in about 10 minutes.

If you like the idea of the Casbah better than

the prospect of a future with me,

why don't you go back there?

There's still time.

What happened?

Nothing.

Come on, it couldn't be that serious.

Leave me alone, Madeline.

Come on, Gaby, tell me.

I told you, nothing happened.

I saw him again.

He wanted me to stay, and I told him I'd come back.

Are you crazy?

Well, he threatened to follow me and…

I had to say something.

Oh, you lied to him.

Yes.

He won't follow me, not with the police waiting for him.

No, of course not.

No man would do that, would he?

Gaby, you are not in love with him?

That's one luxuryy you can't afford.

- I know. You always said that. - Yes, and I am right.

I know.

Stop thinking about it. You'll forget him.

Go up on deck and be nice to Claude.

You'll get over it in a little while.

He'll forgive you and everybody will be happy.

Gaby, you can have everything you ever wanted.

Thank you, Madeline.

Gaby, I--

I'm not sailing, Claude.

You're not?

I'm going to accept your offer.

What offer?

To go back.

Do you realize what you're doing?

Yes, I'm giving up the prospect of a future with you.

You won't leave, Gaby.

Because if you do, you won't be taking anything with you.

You go back just the way you came.

And you won't do that, Gaby.

You are too fond of those pretty little things I bought you, aren't you?

- Gaby, how will you live? - I'll manage.

- Where will you go? - Don't worry, to a hotel.

I'll always remember you, Claude,

for your great generosity.

She's been much too noble, don't you think so, Claude.

Thank you.

I'll see that she gets this.

You seem very happy this morning.

Why not? Do you mind?

No, no, no, please. I like to see you that way.

Be happy as long as possible.

Sit down, Slimane.

You know I almost left the Casbah yesterday.

Oh.

Where did you intend to go?

Paris.

What stopped you, Pepe?

You.

You fixed it and Paris came to me.

She did, eh?

Oh, she's beautiful.

You want to see her again?

I'm going to, tonight.

It's all arranged.

I know it's all arranged.

I know it, though it's very amusing.

Say, Slimane.

How are you getting along with the Commissioner?

Fine, fine. Don't worry about that, Pepe.

We… We made a little deal.

I promised to bring you in and he promised to leave me alone.

Should I be careful?

Oh, it won't help you.

You are going to walk right into the trap and with your eyes wide open.

That's what's so funny.

It would be very funny, wouldn't it?

I suppose you've even set the time?

I've set the hour.

- Why don't you give up, Slimane? - I can't.

You'd never had a chance before and you don't have a chance now.

But I can't, Pepe. I'm not the Commissioner Louvain.

He can make a mistake, he's a big man.

But I'm little man.

One mistake and…

Too bad, Pepe.

Don't feel so sad.

You haven't caught me yet.

That's right.

I'll save my tears for tonight.

Monsieur.

You know…

It'll be lonely without you.

Carlo.

Find Omar and bring him these.

Tell him I want the cash.

Right, Pepe.

I want it tonight at Odette's, at eight o'clock.

I wouldn't trust Omar, Pepe.

Today, I trust everybody.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, in this narrow streets,

are to be found the outcasts of the world.

Why do they come here? They come here…

to avoid the law.

But don't be afraid, ladies and gentlemen,

as long as I am with you, I…

It's a very nice suit.

Pepe says to get cash.

I understand…

that some of the ladies are interested to see a typical Moorish café.

Bring it to Odette's at eight o'clock.

I will do this. I'll show you a typical Moorish café.

You'd better be right, Slimane.

How could I be wrong?

The yacht has sailed.

The girl is on board. Pepe is waiting.

How long can a man like Pepe wait?

Not very long, Sir.

I checked the yacht, it sailed.

You see?

But the girl didn't sail with it, she went to Hotel Oasis.

Went to the Hotel Oasis?

Well, Slimane, so he'll just come walking out, eh?

This doesn't look so good, does it?

No, it doesn't.

Not at the moment.

Come on.

Good evening, Mademoiselle Trénaud…

Oh, hello, Inspector.

Would you call a taxi, please.

- Are you in a hurry? - Yes, I have an appointment--

- I'd like to talk to you, Mademoiselle. - But I am very late--

Please, it won't take long and don't consider me tactless,

but don't go back to the Casbah.

Please, don't ask any questions.

Just return to Paris. I...

I can get your reservation first thing in the morning, all right?

Is that what you came to see me about?

Inspector, please! I know what I'm doing.

All I'm trying to do to save you some grief and…

Don't worry, Inspector. I promise to be very happy.

All right, what if he isn't there?

You expect me to believe that?

Why should I lie to you?

I don't know.

Look…

Pepe…

He met with a very bad accident.

What happened?

Tell me, please!

I'll guess you'll learn it anyway.

He was stabbed.

Some girl, Inez.

I suppose its jealousy won.

In any case, he's dead.

- The Taxi is waiting. - Never mind. Cancel it.

I'm sorry.

Don't forget, your plane leaves at six in the morning.

You wanted to see me, Pepe?

Yeah, sit down.

What's up?

I can't understand why she isn't here yet.

Don't worry, Pepe. She will show up.

And why is Slimane so sure of himself?

What'd you say?

Nothing.

You're new around her, Carlo.

They don't know you yet.

I want you to go outside and find out what you can.

She'll be here in a minute, Pepe.

What's the matter? You're afraid?

Me afraid?

Sure, I'll go.

Go on.

I never saw you so upset about a woman before.

I don't get it.

Go on, Carlo. You're wasting time.

Leave it to me.

Is everything all right, Pepe?

Does a woman always have to be an hour late?

Takes time to be beautiful.

Yes, I guess so.

Omar.

Omar!

Where is Omar?

What do you need him for?

Supposed to bring me something at eight o'clock.

He can't come, Pepe.

He was arrested.

- Omar? - Yes, Pepe.

This afternoon, in front of the Hotel Oasis.

Monsieur Le Prefect, I don't understand it.

I simply don't under--

Excuse me, I can't talk when you're holding me.

I simply don't understand it.

The whole town is teeming with thieves,

cutthroats, murderers, all kind of subjects.

And who do the police pick up from all the people?

Omar.

Omar the guide, respectable man with a family.

Oh, Commissioner, such a family.

Where did you get these jewels?

You should see my son Ali! A little boy, three years old.

He knows all the tricks in the world. You give him--

- What jewels? - These jewels right here.

Such jewels!

I've never seen them in my life.

They were found in your pocket.

Beautiful! That must cost a fortune.

This stone… I don't know if you underst--

Whose pocket?

You were carrying them for Pepe le Moko.

You know how it is. I'm riding in overcrowded street cars,

I hang my coat in restaurants, somebody dropped--

Pepe le Moko?

That thief, that scoundrel?

Oh, Commissioner, you are hurting me.

You are offending me. I'm a respectable man.

I'm honest man…

…with a family, yes.

- How did you know? - We know.

I'm tired of the lies, Omar.

Send him in.

I have a little surprise for you.

We are not as stupid as you think.

I didn't think you were stupid.

We don't pick up people without good reason.

I'm very happy to hear that.

Excuse me. My wife is waiting for me.

Come in, Carlo.

Sit down.

You recognize this man?

On my word of honor,

Commissioner, I've never seen him before in my life.

His face is completely unfamiliar to me.

Take your time. Take a good look.

No, I'm sorry to disappoint you,

but I mean I don't know who he is.

Excuse me.

- Swine! - Stop it! Stop it, do you hear?

Are you crazy?

Wait, I'll pay you back, you…

You snake, you informant!

I'm sorry for the spit I spent on you.

Wait, leave me alone. I'll kill that guy in there!

Slimane, this is Carlo Ferrand. He just came from Odette's.

How do you do?

It seems le Moko is getting desperate.

Yes, Pepe sent me out to look for the girl.

Oh?

Oh, you didn't know about Carlo?

How do you do.

What's the matter with you?

With me? Nothing.

Pepe.

What's the matter?

Why is it so quiet?

- Where is everybody? - It's very late, Pepe.

Who said it's late?

Let's have some music.

Julio, play something.

What is this? A funeral?

Let's have some noise.

That's what I came here for.

Where are the girls, Odette?

All right, Pepe.

What are you doing here?

Can't you see? I'm laughing.

It's very funny.

Get out.

I was down at the harbor this morning.

What for?

I like the sea air.

They say it makes you beautiful.

I saw a big white yacht today.

I saw it sail away.

I told you to get out, didn't I?

Everyone down at the harbor can tell you.

The stevedores, the sailors, they all know.

It sailed away, Pepe, she's gone.

She is out there on the wide open sea,

with her sweetheart,

and I hope they'll both be very happy.

I found her, Pepe.

Had to look all over for her but I found her.

- Where? - Hotel Oasis. Room 104.

Why didn't she come up here?

I don't know.

She was crying so much, tears running down her cheeks.

You know how a woman is when she cries.

Don't listen to him, Pepe, it's a trick to catch you.

He's lying. Can't you see? He's lying.

Let's go, Carlo.

- How did you know she was there? - That was easy.

- Who told you? - Omar.

He takes parties from the hotel up the Casbah. He saw her there.

When did you meet Omar?

About an hour ago.

I ran into him on the way down.

It's in the Rue Kléber, near the gate.

Sit down, Carlo.

Don't you think we ought to go, Pepe?

Sit down.

You are a true friend, Carlo.

A man's very lucky to have a friend like you.

Have something to eat, drink.

No thanks, Pepe.

It's fine wine, have some?

I got a headache.

It's just what you need for your headache.

Here.

Go on.

Try it.

Feel better, huh?

Sure.

Some caviar.

Shame to waste it.

I'm not hungry, Pepe.

Eat.

Eat!

Eat!

Omar was arrested.

This afternoon.

You did it, Carlo.

The truth! I'm waiting.

The truth, Carlo, or I'll kill you.

Sli…

- Slimane planned it. - Go on.

The hotel is surrounded, they're waiting for you.

- She didn't leave on the yacht? - No.

Where is she?

I told you. She's at the hotel.

You're lying!

I'm not, she's at the hotel.

Why didn't she come up here?

Slimane told her you were killed.

He made up the whole story.

That's how he got her not to come up here.

She's leaving for Paris by plane,

six o'clock.

I didn't want to, Pepe.

They made me.

They promised me my freedom.

You know what is to be cooped up.

They would have killed me.

We were brought up together.

Don't kill me.

I... remember those times at Mother Fouchard's, Pepe.

Ah, they said I could go home.

I-- we were brought up in the same town--

Everything here is yours.

Thank you, Pepe.

I don't want it.

Well, let someone else have it.

All right.

Well, I...

I guess there is nothing left to say.

Nothing?

Come on, Inez. You know why I'm leaving.

Yes, I know.

Why don't you do something.

Say something.

At least cry.

I never cry.

Goodbye, Inez.

When? Where? Come on.

Your name, please.

Trénaud.

Your name, please.

André Boulet.

Right.

Thank you, Sir.

You won't need this.

All right. Let's go, Pepe.

I said, let's go.

Pepe, I--

I didn't want to.

Let me watch the take-off.

Sure, all right.

Hey, Pepe, don't do it.

Pepe!

Gaby!

See, Pepe?

You win, Slimane.

You knew I would.

Yeah.
