SYMPHPNY FPR A MASSACRE

- Jacques, seen my husband? - Mr Valoti?

- He's with the musicians. - Thanks.

Maurice, can l take the car?

Yes. Are you going out?

Have you dined?

Here. Be careful. She seems a bit edgy lately.

- Shall l come back for you? - All right.

No more bets.

Over.

Card.

Card to the first.

- To the second. - Eight.

Eight to the bank. Three all round.

- Half. - All right.

- On two. - 15,000.

Place your bets.

Nine.

Hello, Georges.

Someone to see you, sir.

Half. Always half.

Christian...

My mind's made up.

About what?

l'm leaving Maurice.

l'll talk to him as soon as l can.

l'm sick of this life.

l made a mistake marrying him.

When will you talk to him?

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe later.

- l'd prefer later. - Why?

We have a deal on. Any trouble between us might scupper it.

l don't want that.

So be patient.

And wait until l get back.

Will you be in Brussels long?

A couple of days.

- Call me when you get back. - Promise.

Bye, darling.

Pnce the work's done, there'll be no better inn around Paris.

An inn...

Nothing but trouble.

Not at all. Some customers are a lot of fun.

As a customer, l had a laugh with innkeepers.

Come anytime.

As soon as you're bored, pack and come down.

You'll see me a lot then.

You're happy. You're flush.

You weigh more than any of us.

You're never flush, pal.

You start by setting a figure.

Then you exceed it.

So you set another and exceed that too.

And so on. Pne deal leads to another.

Come angling one day, old chap.

l've tried but l couldn't.

How can you live in the country?

You're still young.

Yes, l'm still young. And l was young in jail too.

When you grow up in a cell...

you like the open air.

l can imagine.

Don't you ever think of your years in clink?

Oh, yes.

But not in the same way.

- Evening. - Hello, Mr Paoli.

- Sir... - Hello, Cerruti.

- You know Moreau. - lt's been ages.

lrene, lock up and leave us.

Moreau's here because he'll do the trips between Paris and Marseille.

There won't be several trips. There'll only be one.

What do you mean?

A new development.

That's why l stopped in Paris and sent for you.

So explain.

The goods arrived in one shipment.

You must be nuts taking a risk like that.

That's my problem. l'm done. Now you step in.

Take it all in one go.

All of it?

Just a second.

l can't lug 50 kg of drugs around.

You never carry two bags?

Not full of dope.

lt's not dope or bags, it's the dough.

250 grand in one go!

There are five of you. You'll double your stake.

Yes, ok, but...

We'll talk to the others.

Your problem.

l don't want to meet them.

l want a reply by tomorrow evening. Remember,

you pay me in dollars and take the goods in three days.

And... what if we can't gather the full amount?

l'll go elsewhere. Take it or leave it.

lt means we have to pay the lot in one go.

We have to get 250 million together within 48 hours.

- That's all. - 50 million each.

Exactly. ln dollars, 100,000 each.

l like the idea.

lt's much better.

lt's no riskier, it's faster, and nothing changes financially.

Nothing?

lnstead of five instalments, it's just one.

- l don't mind. - l do.

You mean...

you can't follow?

What l mean is... l'm surprised.

48 hours to get 100,000 dollars!

lt's all or nothing?

Just raid your piggybank.

l'll raid mine and l'm in.

Remember,

deals like this are few and far between.

lt'd be a pity to miss out on it.

l don't see why you couldn't manage it.

We all make the same amount.

- l've had expenses. - Expenses?

Your nags!

- That's my business! - Enough.

l have to call Cerruti after this.

So l need your reply. Yes or no?

Stop that, will you?

l respect my commitments.

You'll have the money.

So we're all agreed.

Meet at my place, Thursday, with the dough. At 5 o'clock.

lmpossible.

l'll be in Brussels on business. But you'll have my share.

As you want.

Call me and drop off the package.

We're all set otherwise.

Moreau takes the dough to Marseille and brings back the bags.

Take Thursday's night train. l'll book your berth.

500,000 dollars... lsn't that a lot for one man?

lf someone wants to go instead, feel free.

We all trust you.

- lt's no fun, you know. - All right...

No airs and graces.

You heard Valoti? The gloomy old penguin.

l'll get the money just to annoy him.

Another beating?

250 million, ok, but it's quite a wad of dough.

Will it fit in my bag?

Easily.

Hey, it's brand-new.

You bet. l just bought it.

- Hello, Jacques. - Mr Jabeke.

- Coffee - Yes.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Paoli? lt's Christian.

Yes, l can come right now.

Yes, l'll leave from your place.

No.

See you shortly.

Come in.

- Am l disturbing you? - No.

Here's the package.

l feel lighter now.

Don't rush off before the formalities.

Something to drink?

Help yourself from the stock.

l admire your wariness.

- You never take a break? - No.

lt's not wariness, just an old principle.

You respect it if you want to live long.

lf l had to review the guys in my generation,

l wouldn't need to walk far.

All right, it's all here.

- When will you be back? - ln four or five days.

- No change concerning Moreau? - No.

The night train tomorrow, a day with Cerruti in Marseille,

then he travels back that evening.

Come and see.

Blackbird pate.

You're not tempted?

You can't buy this. lt's from my village.

l have to leave for Brussels.

lt's not far. Go tomorrow.

l drive at night. Less traffic.

All right.

Dump me and my pate. l'll eat it alone.

Then l'll settle down in front of the TV,

with one ear trained on your dollars.

Leave your number. l'll call you.

l usually stay at the Amigo, but you never know.

l'll call you as soon as l wake.

Drive safely then.

Watch out for trees.

You have my dough. You'll inherit 50 million.

Hundreds, pal. l'll leave it in the deal.

Don't get your hopes up. l'll drive at 25 mph, sounding my horn.

Good evening, sir.

- Fill her up. - Yes, sir.

- 42 francs. - Here you go.

Thank you, sir.

Goodbye. Drive safely.

Excuse me.

First class to Brussels.

- One-way? - No, return.

Change in Paris.

- l know. - 45 minutes to get the 7:29.

lt's tight.

- 108 francs. - Thank you.

Departures

- The Amigo. - Yes, sir.

- Hello, sir. - Pay the fare, please.

Yes, sir.

A room with a bath, please, on the courtyard.

88 for the gentleman.

- Here you are, sir. - Thank you.

Hello, l'd like the exchange, 27 42, please.

- Paris, yes. - Shall l run a bath, sir?

Person-to-person, Mr Paoli. Antoine Paoli.

ln the meantime, give me 173428.

Hello, Paris?

Are you Mr Paoli?

A call from Brussels. Please hold.

Yes? Thank you, mademoiselle.

Paoli, it's Christian.

Yes, very well.

l'm at the Amigo.

The number is 1 15910. lt's direct.

As planned, yes. Two or three days.

Goodbye then.

- This is the engraving relief? - Exactly.

lt's slightly thicker on the figure.

An American expert would be hard-pressed to find it.

Your 10,000 dollars.

And my 40,000 that are yours now.

Coming to the casino?

l'm not losing this to you.

Pity.

- Who was that? - Pur saviour.

You found someone to lend you 15 million?

Yes.

Georges, l don't like this deal. l hoped you wouldn't get the money.

Really, Madeleine...

lf l back out, l'm finished.

- Valoti would love that. - So?

lt'll happen one day.

So let it be with full pockets.

We just need to check each other's money.

l checked Jabeke's share in his presence,

but feel free.

- A mistake is always possible. - l'll check Clavet's.

You could lend a hand too!

Don't overdo it. l'll be carrying it all.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

The berth's in the name of Benazet.

- No sense in leaving a trail. - True.

l'll wait until the middle of the night to alert Cerruti.

That way, no one will know but us.

lt's safer travelling like Mr Average,

without an escort.

- Here you go, chief. - Thank you.

Coach 7, Mr Benazet.

First-class sleepers for Dijon,

Lyon, Avignon, Marseille.

Leaving at 10.:13 pm.

All aboard, please.

- Compartment number 4. - Right.

Thank the pals for me.

My future is assured. l could take it and run.

You wouldn't get far!

Call and l'll come to meet you.

The train is leaving. Close all doors.

Lyon-Perrache. A four-minute stop.

l leave again right away.

My replacement won't be here for a few more days.

Belgian customs.

We ask all drivers to prepare their identity papers

and their insurance green card.

Sir, the car's papers, please.

Do you have the green card?

lt's inside.

Thank you, sir.

Hello.

Room 88.

l'd like a full breakfast, with a lot of coffee.

Right away.

Please hold. l'll put you through.

A full breakfast for room 88.

Yes.

Come in.

Good morning, sir.

Did you sleep well, sir?

- How's the weather? - Dull.

- What time is it? - Almost 10 o'clock.

- There, sir. - Thank you.

The Paris newspapers!

The Paris newspapers!

- This morning's? - Yes, just arrived, sir. Thank you.

The Paris newspapers.

- Sir, a call from Paris for you. - Thank you.

Yes, speaking.

What?

ls it bad?

Come back immediately.

Try to be at Paoli's by 9 pm.

Yes, it's about that.

All l can say is it didn't go well.

lt didn't go at all in fact.

All right. See you later.

You're the first.

What's going on?

Here.

Read it. ''Crime, accident or suicide?''

''A man's mangled body was found at dawn,

dressed in pyjamas, on the railway embankment.''

- Moreau? - Pf course.

''Did the man pick the wrong door?

On the Paris-Ventimiglia train, the police are reduced to conjecture.''

And the money?

Vanished. No one mentions it.

Explain.

Having heard nothing, l called Cerruti.

He knew nothing either.

So he went along to the station.

- And? - One hour later, l knew.

We've been had, dammit!

What do Valoti and Clavet think?

You'll soon know. They'll be here any minute.

They think one of us was imprudent.

lnvoluntarily, of course.

ldle chitchat.

Personally, l'm aware of what l say.

Me too, of course.

That's why...

l picture another solution.

- Which one? - A sixth man.

An accomplice, if you prefer.

- Whose accomplice? - Moreau's.

Moreau's.

He tried to hoodwink us.

But, at the last minute,

he bumped Moreau off to keep the whole haul.

So we're all suspects. Any one of us could have killed Moreau.

My thoughts exactly.

We all have alibis.

Clavet, Valoti and l didn't leave Paris.

You were in Brussels.

But any one of us could have sent a henchman to do the job.

lf we stick to that, l see no solution.

What do we do?

Look daggers at each other until we die?

A mistake...

is soon made.

l don't believe in mistakes.

Let's say it really was one of us.

Moreau, for instance.

l don't see what mistake he could make now.

A dead man often says more than we think.

Even if the bastard spends every last centime,

l'll kill him slowly. That'll comfort me.

Let him die in bed after l get my money back.

No way is he dying in his bed! lt's a matter of honour.

Thieves take trains...

We thought of that.

lt doesn't make sense.

lt doesn't make sense. For me,

Moreau opened the door to a guy he knew

who killed him in the compartment and threw him out

to pull the wool over our eyes.

lf he did that, he paid a high price.

You said it...

When you gave him the money, was everything normal?

Like on the finest day.

He was even making plans.

You noticed nothing on the way to the station?

No nervousness on boarding the train?

No...

lf we find the money, we'll learn our lesson.

Hold on...

You just asked if l noticed anything unusual about Moreau

before he left.

Yes?

A hint of nervousness before boarding his compartment.

ls that right?

Yes.

Yes, you remember something?

Yes, Christian, my boy.

l remember something.

The thing is, you were in Brussels.

How could you know l took him to the station?

- You just said so. - No, you did.

- l didn't make it up! - No one could make that up.

Clavet or Valoti could have gone.

Moreau could have gone alone.

How did you know?

Give it a rest! You said so at the meeting!

No, l decided at the last minute.

l had nothing better to do.

The others had already left.

l decided at the last minute!

No one could know that.

So l guessed. Or you're senile.

No! You saw him.

Odd, it's not bolted.

He's usually obsessed by that.

Let's wait outside. He'll be here soon.

Here's Christian.

l came as soon as l could. What's wrong?

lt's Moreau...

What has he done?

He missed a step.

Read this.

''Crime, accident or suicide?''

What is all this?

You know as much as we do.

The dough?

No sign of it. lt's vanished.

- A tough blow. - You said it.

Paoli's not here. What's he up to?

- He's not here? - No.

His light's on though.

You're right. That's odd.

You're out of practice.

My God!

lf l understand right,

that's two now.

You think it's linked to Moreau's death?

Of course.

No time to talk. He has to vanish.

How?

We'll take him out in the middle of the night.

l know a spot in a private property.

There must be a good layer of mud down there.

We have to call Marseille to alert Cerruti.

lf he'd known which train Moreau was on, he'd be the main suspect.

Cerruti has had better opportunities than this.

He makes more by preserving his clients' trust.

Paoli's murder looks like an argument that went wrong.

l don't get it.

Before you arrived,

we decided one of us sent an accomplice to kill Moreau.

Get it?

Paoli sent him?

Aren't you overdoing it a bit?

Thinking out loud.

Paoli was always a regular guy.

But he's dead now.

All the same, he has to live.

What?

lt's obvious.

lf you get mail for him at the club,

bills, tax returns, you'll have to cough up

so no one suspects.

l'll do the same thing.

l'll pay his apartment and garage rent.

The Brussels Amigo?

l'd like to speak to Mr Jabeke, please.

Mr Christian Jabeke.

He's left?

ln a hurry? Forgive me, l can't seem to reach him.

How long did he stay?

Two days?

Thank you. Goodbye.

Maurice.

Paris-Le Bourget Airport.

Passengers for Rome are requested to proceed

to passport control. Gate number 15.

How long have you known Paoli?

Personally, ten years.

Jabeke and Clavet a little less. Why?

l've worked with him 20 years. That's enough to know a man.

ln all that time, he never betrayed his partners' trust.

But he could easily have done it a hundred times.

He always toed the line.

250 million is worth a sidestep.

For a youngster ready to risk his hide.

Not for a rich man about to retire.

Cerruti is right.

Paoli was cold-headed and rational.

He'd never have got involved in such a mess.

Maybe he thought he could steal the bag without killing Moreau.

l won't try to persuade you. lt wasn't my dough.

But l have capital tied up.

What have you decided?

We carry on.

So you still want in?

How else can we make up our losses?

- The trouble is... - You can't afford it now.

That's about it.

We can't take it all at once.

Not even half.

So what do you suggest?

- That you give us credit. - Credit?

On a deal like this?

You're joking, right?

Here's what l suggest. l deliver small amounts.

Will that do?

That way, yes.

With the first profits,

we'll see if we can take more after, agreed?

Agreed.

lt's under your responsibility.

- l only know Valoti. - All right.

Excuse me, l have to fly to Hamburg.

- Back when? - ln three days.

- l'll call you next week. - All right.

- We might find our dollars by then. - Maybe.

Time defeats everything.

l caught Maurice laughing alone.

Are things better now?

Why? Was something wrong?

He came back at dawn, exhausted, looking like death.

lt happens.

- l'm not exaggerating. - l believe you.

Did you talk to him?

No. l felt it was still too soon.

But l was glad to know you really went to Brussels.

You didn't believe me?

A woman believes everything and nothing.

The thing about you is you don't know how to lie.

l don't know how to lie?

- That surprises you? - No, it amuses me.

lt amuses you?

- When can l see you? - Tomorrow, my place.

- Are we losing a lot? - 300,000.

- 30 million old francs. - Bravo.

We can't help it.

- How many more rounds? - Two.

No more bets.

- Card. - Card to the first.

Not the second.

Five for the bank.

Seven for the first and second. Get ready.

Well played.

We could have matched one and beaten the other.

He couldn't know. He had no other solution.

Place your bets.

No more bets.

Card for first. Card for second.

Three for the bank, seven for the first, six for the second.

Get ready.

Confirm the exact loss.

Gambling continues at the chemin de fer table.

Are we losing a lot?

Around 60.

The banker's adding it up.

What will you do? There's only 50 million in the safe.

l still have Jabeke and Valoti.

- Well? - Well what?

We lost 67 million, that's all.

We can't win every time. lt never happened before.

We should consider ourselves lucky?

We have been until now.

Why didn't you halt it?

Baccarat is a serious game. Do we stop when we win?

- l'm talking about losses. - And me, wins.

- What wins? - lt's not his fault luck changes.

The club will make up its losses in no time.

l hope so.

No one hopes so more than me.

How do you plan to pay?

l sent for you to discuss that.

- You have 50 million in reserve? - Yes.

So we're 18 short.

We need 10 to start tomorrow.

We can't open on an empty till.

Yes. ln short, we need to find 28 million.

Call it 30, a round figure. By tonight.

l organized a 24-hour breather.

The Yanks who won will cash their chips tomorrow.

But as they're flying out, they want cash.

Madeleine, please fetch them.

We reassure them so they won't blab to other clients.

All right.

Gentlemen...

Mr Jabeke. Mr Valoti.

lt's ok, they speak French.

Wonderful.

We're delighted, but tomorrow's Sunday and the banks are closed.

Your chips are your guarantee.

Listen.

We don't question the club's reputation.

But we told you we fly out tomorrow evening.

l know about that.

lf you come to this address tomorrow at 4 pm, you'll get your cash.

lt's a jazz club, very easy to find.

- Tomorrow at 4 pm. - Exactly.

Payment should be made here. Why your place?

Madeleine dear, to pick a place and time,

you don't call others to the rescue.

l'll expect you at the club at 2 with your share.

ln other words 10 units each.

Where will l get it?

You don't have it?

Please, don't act so surprised.

You're not flying out. l'll pay you back.

You'll scrounge off me?

l'll refund you in a few days from the takings here.

lf you take as much as tonight,

we'll have to wait a while.

Help yourself!

Madeleine, are you mad?

They're mine.

No, sorry, they'd only be surplus to Helene's.

You bastard!

Get the hell out.

Remember, you need to bring me 10 million tomorrow.

He'll pay for this, l swear!

How much cash can you scrape together?

Four million.

Which leaves six.

Ok, l'll make up the shortfall.

Thanks, Christian.

l haven't seen Clavet.

- You won't see him. - l knew it.

l've brought his share and mine.

He found it then.

He dug into the club's reserve?

No, l helped him out.

- You're sentimental. - l suppose so.

lt's mixed up with dollars.

He had dollars?

They're mine. Better for Americans.

Yes, you're right.

l admit l was a bit short with Clavet yesterday.

Sorry, l can't stand the fellow.

Know what, Maurice?

We should shut down the club and get some air, all three of us.

Maybe. We'll see. Come in!

- Your visitors are here, sir. - Show them up.

l'll be going.

- ln a rush? - No, l have 10 minutes.

Could you drop me in Montmartre?

You've sold your car?

No, not yet.

Helene's in the country with it.

- l'll wait downstairs. - Ok.

ls it all there? You even have a few dollars.

- The current rate is 490, l think. - Precisely.

Sir, a joke like this could cost you a lot.

What joke?

Yes, it's a fake.

- A fake? - See for yourself.

The thickness of the figure and lack of relief next to it.

Believe me, l had no idea.

lt's from a partner who doesn't play such games.

- So who does? - No idea. Some moneychanger.

Think of the scale of our dealings and the place we occupy.

- 2,000 exactly. - l prefer that.

Just think. Pne tiny million out of the 30 we're paying.

l'm afraid l'm out of cash but l can give you a cheque.

For the whole sum, if you want.

No, thank you.

We leave tonight. We'll sort it out with a cheque.

Shall we go?

l'm starting to think you wanted to get rid of me

by having me leave escorted by two cops.

What?

For forgery.

- l don't understand. - You don't?

They're counterfeit.

You're joking.

For now, you owe me a million. We'll joke afterwards.

They were bankers. They spotted them right away.

Are you coming?

Dammit...

l admit l braked sharply, but you were a bit close.

l was surprised.

l've never had an accident before.

Your car isn't scratched, but mine is damaged.

- Your insurer will be delighted to pay. - Why mine?

Because you must be...

My card and my insurer's name. Michel Armet, with Lloyd's.

- lt's my first accident. - Goodbye, madam.

- A real pain in the neck. - Yes.

On second thoughts, l'll leave you. l'll walk from here.

- Thanks for the ride. - You're welcome.

Goodbye.

Hello. The French Railways' information service, please.

Thank you.

French Railways?

ls there a train that leaves Lyon for Paris at around 2 am?

Yes.

Ok. When does it arrive in Paris?

6:45 am.

Do l then have a connection for Brussels?

Yes, l realize l'll need to change stations.

At 7...

7:29 am.

So that gives me 45 minutes to change stations?

When do l get to Brussels?

10:30 am.

10:30. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

ls that you, Christian? Am l disturbing you?

Right.

This evening, l have to go and see a lady friend.

No, l'll just spend the night and be back tomorrow at noon.

No, she more or less lives in ltaly.

She turns up out of the blue.

You said it. And she's no real burden.

But l'd like you to stand in for me.

Someone might turn up asking for Paoli or Moreau.

l can't ask Clavet.

Yes, you can count on me.

Yes, around 7 o'clock.

See you later.

Your husband.

- My husband? - Yes.

He's off to Geneva, so he asked me to fill in at the club.

Geneva?

Jacques, see to things with Mr Jabeke.

Do your best. See you tomorrow.

Goodbye, sir.

Lock up and keep the keys. l have doubles.

- Thanks again. - You're welcome.

- Good night. - Bye.

Three to the first. Four to the second.

Seven to the bank. Even all.

- How does it look? - Not too bad.

Regular gains.

Take no risks.

lf our luck changes, halt the games. We can't afford to lose.

Place your bets.

No more bets.

- Good evening. - Happy to see us?

Very happy. Shouldn't you be over the Atlantic?

Too much fog. We leave tomorrow.

A scotch.

Are you in shape to play?

Clients who win are good publicity.

You do a great job.

- No counterfeit dollars tonight. - No.

l kept a little souvenir.

Quite a find.

- What is this? - lt's nothing.

Your friend, Valoti, refunded us. lt wasn't much.

- He's an honest guy... - May l?

l've got him now.

- l've got him! - Who?

- The bastard slipped up. - Who?

Valoti. lt's Valoti.

Valoti?

He paid the Yanks with the fake bills.

l can't explain, but this proves it was him.

Christian and l can catch him off-guard.

You can't!

- Hello, Mr Clavet. - Hello, Jacques.

ls the boss in?

- No, Mr Jabeke's replacing him. - Thank you.

Christian.

You're here?

- l know who did it. - What?

The clown who stole the bag.

- Believe it or not, it was Valoti. - Are you crazy?

Listen.

At first, l put counterfeit dollars in the deal.

- What? - l was broke. l had no choice.

lt made no difference to you.

The Americans were paid with some of my fake bills.

But they noticed.

Valoti refunded them without telling us. Get it?

The bastard!

He'll spit it out. Then l'll settle his score.

l'd have done it by now.

He's in Geneva.

- He's back tomorrow. - That's eyewash.

- lt's good you're here. - Let's stay calm.

- We can't talk here. - Let's go outside.

Give me a second.

You understand?

We must be cautious.

Cautious? You're nuts.

Let me speak.

Valoti is smart, very smart. He's proved that before.

He could say he got the dollars from a moneychanger.

lt'll be hard to show us the same ones with the exact same flaws.

We'll ask to see his moneychanger.

l want to see him in the flesh.

He could pay someone to act the part.

He won't have time to.

l won't let him out of my sight.

Not for a minute, you hear.

Until he tells the truth.

After that...

Moreau, Paoli...

Never any pity.

lt's his turn now.

Pn the bank of the Seine,

a couple in a parked car saw the murder.

They were too far away to identify the killer.

Thanks to them, the river police recovered your husband's body.

The killer threw him from the bridge before fleeing.

l understand your grief, but be brave.

l need you to come with me.

Go with you?

Yes, to identify your husband's body.

Take your time. l'll be downstairs.

Valoti.

Valoti.

- l'll drive you home, ma'am. - No, thank you, inspector.

- l'd rather go back alone. - As you want.

But try to rest.

The Crime Squad will question you tomorrow.

Try to help us find the culprit.

You can count on me.

l heard a noise. You were due back tomorrow.

Sorry, l changed my mind.

You're leaving again?

l have some business to settle.

- Who with? - You'll soon know. Go back to bed.

Maurice!

Where are you going?

Maurice!

- Goodbye, Mr Jabeke. - Goodbye.

Good night, Mr Jabeke.

- You'll lock up? - Yes.

See you tomorrow.

Already back?

Yes, she was being a pest. So l cut things short.

lt happens.

Mission accomplished. Nothing to report.

You know...

You know, l think you fool a lot of people.

- Really? - Yes. l'm notjoking.

You're more organized than people think.

l thought about your idea of closing down to get some air.

lt makes sense.

We could all enjoy what we've put by.

- A new life. - You know, it was just an idea.

Let's consider it over a drink.

You're still the boss. Pour me one.

lt's empty.

The money's safe in my garage.

Here's how you slipped up.

Time defeats everything.

Maurice.

Maurice.

lt's horrible!

He was too crazy to stop.

- He spoke to you? - Barely, but l could tell he knew.

Everything?

He must have had us followed. You understand?

l wanted to talk to him. Remember?

We waited too long. What'll we do now?

Don't worry. l'll take all responsibility.

- You'll turn yourself in? - No.

No one heard.

- ls his car still outside? - Yes.

- What will you do? - Take him away.

- Then what? - Wait a while,

then tell the police your husband has vanished.

That's the best way.

You think of everything.

Not always, unfortunately.

Stay here until l come back for you.

No, please. l can't stay here alone.

Come on... Be brave.

lt'll soon be over and forgotten, you'll see.

Here.

My key. Wait at my place.

Don't worry. l'll be there soon.

l've killed Maurice Valoti.

47, Avenue Mortier.
