Original subtitles

Lawrence, don't do that! Lawrence, I beg you!

See this?

Passports, money, and our trip ...

See this?

I'll give you another room.

Do you know who did this?

I know who did it. It was my wife.

Your wife?

But she doesn't know our address.

No, but we were still found.

My darling, you forgot to lock the door.

How do you know?

On returning, I found a letter. A letter?

What nerve! Yes.

She asked me to come and see her.

But seeing as I couldn't find my shirts ...

I took this instead.

You saw her? Yes.

And she shot at me.

I almost got killed by my wife.

If it had been me, she would be dead.

I had often wanted that.

- He killed her, I'm sure.

Lawrence has killed my daughter!

He's crazy, a scoundrel, completely amoral!

You need to stop him.

Calm down, madam Pleger.

But I tell you, he killed her!

Now the investigation is open. You make me ...

But everything is so clear to me.

For three weeks, he no longer lived here.

But last night he came. He wanted to retrieve his things.

Daniele saw that he was leaving, she wanted to hold him.

He saw his chance.

Not seeing or hearing anyone ...

He pulled it out and killed her ...

Look at the file.

I assure you it happened like that.

Obviously, it is possible.

Only your daughter's fingerprints were on the gun,

hand clutching her dress, the shot fired at point blank range.

Suicide? Have you considered suicide?

There is no evidence that Mr. Lenaud was there at the time of the shooting.

Daniele killed herself from despair over love?

I don't believe it.

May I use the phone?

Ah, Morelli.

So?

Commissioner, I have the results.

The fingerprints are those of the victim.

I know. But the others? Those of the husband.

Really?

Continue searching the room.

Hello, headquarters?

Connect me with Bertrand.

Still no news of her husband? You must find him.

Colin has gone to Gertrude Street Mazarine.

It's a restaurant.

At this hour, we have a chance.

Ms. Pleger, you told me about a hotel.

Hotel Venice 81, avenue du Maine, Room 8.

After, he will go to a hotel in Venice 81, avenue du Maine, Room 8.

- What does this mean?

She died?

Lawrence, what did you do?

But you're not crazy!

Don't start believing that crap!

This is making me crazy!

In any case, you cannot stay here.

What are you gonna do? Leave me alone!

Give me time to think.

Why didn't you tell me? You don't trust me?

You must go to the police.

He's already in enough trouble.

And if they come, you say we're out.

If I lie, they will evict me.

Anyway, you haven't fulfilled your agreement.

I'll give him 5 minutes, no more.

Forget it, you'll see. He will remain here as long as I want!

He can stay here, if he wants.

But it's the last time, understood?

Lawrence, you want a coffee? Yes, that would be good.

My love, I don't want them to catch you.

I will not let them!

This Lenaud Lawrence,

you and he were not close, right?

What kind of boy is he?

Cynical, insolent, cavalier ...

What did he do for a living? Whatever was expedient.

Did he have a profession?

Parasite.

You knew him only as a "parasite"?

Almost.

No, thank you. I do not smoke.

You can. The smoke does not bother me.

I knew him for about a year.

My daughter was still at boarding school. I was in my store.

I saw him.

He was with a German couple.

He served as their ... guide.

I don't know how he did it,

but they left with two tables,

a tureen of Sevres

and unmarketable chimney lining.

I was flabbergasted.

The two Germans were delighted.

You have chosen pretty things.

See you soon, I hope. Goodbye.

You are not with them? No.

What about my cut? Pardon?

My commission, if you prefer.

Your commission?

I'm not here for looks.

Although, you are very pretty.

You could offer me a pair of cufflinks.

They are not for sale. They are fake?

No, they are genuine. Two beautiful pieces!

But I only have the two.

I expect that money will do.

One, two, three, four, five ...

six, seven and eight.

Just enough to invite you to dinner.

But I don't dine with you. I bet you will.

As if on cue, the telephone:

Friends with whom I had dinner plans were to leave for London.

I was free.

After all, why not?

He wanted to go to Berkeley. I know too many people there.

Or are you usually there? It's not a place for you.

What do you know? If you insist.

It is a very small restaurant. But I definitely want to go.

You wait for me a moment? I'll get my hat.

If only I could have predicted. But what?

The prospect of spending an evening alone ...

And he amused me.

He had a way of screwing everything.

If I understand correctly, he had a certain charm.

- M. Guerbois, Madame ... I can be useful.

- I think it would be better not to disturb them.

I returned as soon as I could.

Mr. Guerbois? Yes.

I was going to ask you to go to the station.

Your retail ad. Have you seen it?

One of my assistants will ask you some questions.

What did you do that night?

I was with Ms. Pleger; we had soup at the Golden Coach,

table number 7.

We stayed until the end of the show.

That's a perfect alibi.

Talk to you later.

I beg you, don't say anything else.

I said what I thought.

The newspaper says you murdered her.

If I'm accused, why not Renee?

"Renee"! You said Renee?

What do you want me to say? Mom.

Renee? Renee!

In any case, I will speak the truth.

And if I lie?

For what reason? To make you dislike me.

"Unpleasant"? Why unsympathetic?

I am charming.

She also found me charming.

Even as I brought her customers.

And she agreed to dinner with me.

Thanks to me, she had a great sale.

She begged me to accept a commission.

But you know me.

She wanted to take me to Berkeley.

A fancy restaurant on Champs-Elysees.

Not really for me.

I suggested "Chez Paul,"

but we tried "In Gertrude."

She could find the place disgusting ... Not at all.

Ah! There you are, you little scoundrel.

Hi, Mom!

Gertrude, I present to you Mrs. .. Renee.

Madame Renee. Renee, sit down there.

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Well, at least there's a place to sit.

Pay no attention to her. She is my friend.

Thank you.

Fascinating. I feel like I'm dining with Michael.

Is that a compliment?

As a child, I loved Jules Verne.

Now I feel that it is you that I'll love.

Ah, what luck! I love being adored.

You look at the pictures? She is not evil, naked.

Are you kidding or what? No. Why?

It is mine. No! Really?

Yes, and I do not boast.

Well, well.

The slender forms perfectly blend.

The staining was slightly acid on the whole.

The artist invites you to a party of the flesh where nothing hurts.

You're proud. You signed it.

I always sign my editions.

Only painting amuses me. But we must choose.

I feel abstract, figurative or otherwise.

Basically, everything would look like hell.

It is cotton.

You talk seriously sometimes?

Yes, when I'm kidding.

Taste this. You've never had anything like it.

It's very good.

It's "very good"? It is perfect!

Gertrude, how much is on my bill?

18 meals, plus wine.

I exchanged my turnips for 50 meals.

I saved the best until the end:

the thigh up to the belly and navel

and left buttock. That's the best part.

She was delighted. Me, not as much.

You see, I'm honest. That evening, nothing.

She offered me a corner in her shop.

"We will do business together," she said.

I have left.

She was like a mermaid, gentle, pure.

But I had the impression she was out of her water.

She offered me a drink. And between us, I liked her.

In sum, you didn't dislike him.

No. But in a. ..

I'm sure Philip did.

Philip has good judgment.

Where were we? So, after this first contact?

I went several days without seeing him.

Naturally, he came back.

Yes. With new customers.

And yarn needle with all the bric-brac.

It was a good morning at my house.

It was fate.

I couldn't break away from him.

Now I had a volunteer partner!

He managed some incredible sales.

With a little persuasion!

But what about honesty ...

Consider an example.

We ... Finally, I had two mirrors.

One real and one fake.

Louis XV? Louis XV.

I'm an expert from San Antonio, Texas. Ah, so ...

Very nice. Very nice. Isn't it?

That one is fake. I need not tell you,

You, an expert from San Antonio.

Yes, I had noticed. It's obvious.

But Lawrence ... Isn't that wrong?

Madam believed them both to be genuine?

Here, the gilding is wonderful, and cannot be imitated.

That is obvious.

Besides, you can't find a mirror in this condition.

There 's a big difference.

900,000 francs. 2,000 dollars.

How? 2000 dollars of difference.

He has paid cash, and he left with the wrong mirror.

Cash brings a smile.

You are wonderful.

I would never dare.

I will find another mirror. There are so many experts in the world.

You know what you are? A genuine little bastard.

- Two days later, I told her to find another mirror.

Pure Louis XV de Gaulle. She was amazed.

She called me "false money."

It was easy, but nice.

And some of the time ...

Looking for something special?

Yes, perhaps. Ah, you are not sure?

Ah!

They are very beautiful. Yes, very beautiful.

Especially the right one.

What's the difference? The other is fake.

Ah!

That's funny. What?

You seem very young, for an antique dealer.

For 25 years, I've been in the profession.

My great-grandfather, Lisieux, was an antique dealer.

My father, Rue de Seine, and I began

when my family judged I was ready.

I was 18 years old. Hey!

I thought this store was owned by a woman.

Yes, my partner. A friend of my mother.

But she rarely comes in. You know, women ...

But you say this mirror is false?

Look, if you are a connoisseur.

Ah yes. It isn't even well-made.

The real one, how much is it? 900,000 francs.

That one is not worth discussing.

I won't give more than 10,000 francs.

And that would be a lot. Well, I win.

But it is a horror.

It will be fine in my house.

I cannot let you buy this thing.

So it should not be shown.

It is not worth discussing.

I pay, I win.

It is not for sale. I'll tell you why.

Because it is real ...

I had to prevent the Fine Arts.

That's why I told you wrong.

It pleased me very much, this false mirror, it's a shame.

That's because it was real.

The next day, I took Renee to a club.

We drank, we danced, we rubbed. Little kisses, nibbles.

There was no resistance on her part.

She was very cheerful, but jealous already.

If I watched a woman ...

With whom do you want to dance? With her or me?

He sometimes dragged me to a nightclub.

Me, I hate nightclubs.

He ... Him, he was in his element.

Mr. Commissioner. A second, madam.

I found this.

- Interesting.

Very interesting.

Go on, old chap. Continue.

And call the lab.

The sooner we know the result of the test, the better.

And then?

He took me to this nightclub.

He had a way of dancing ...

As if he owned me.

Jealous! Insensed.

Do you prefer to dance with him or me?

Will you make love with me?

You talk to me like that? Does that shock you?

Will you make love with me?

I beg you not to talk like that.

You don't stop my hands.

Oh, release me! Enough nonsense.

Come on, do not be silly. You forgot your mink.

And I promise that I'll speak in more polite terms.

I promise. I will not keep after you.

You are a little thug.

Life is short.

Madam, I love you. Don't talk nonsense.

You are too young. Well, let's play.

Come on, come dance.

Renee, listen to me ... Oh no!

We won't talk anymore.

When I ride home,

if you just say come have a drink,

I understand.

If you say nothing, I understand too.

Then,

Farewell, Renee.

So let's go have a nightcap.

Say it.

It won't bind you. Say it.

Oh, you are too stupid!

Let's go have a nightcap.

Ah! You see how easy it is.

Yes. It's easy to say.

Wait here for a moment?

A token. Here you go.

Thank you.

No! Your hand!

It does not please you? I'm getting out.

Ah well, it's hot. I'm very thirsty.

It's alright, thank you.

Good. So ... Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Come have a drink.

- Here we are at home.

Good atmosphere, good mentality.

She was well aware of what I was doing.

I didn't have to make any gestures.

And then ... ring!

The telephone.

I knew it was screwed. I was furious.

She said: "Come quickly, I beg you."

"My friend is going to be here."

Who was that friend?

Probably a serious friend for an honest woman.

I waited out of curiosity.

Suddenly ...

My client, the man from the shop!

"You are very young, for an antique dealer."

And you, Toto

you're a pervert pretending to be naive!

Meanwhile, above, he's helping out Renee.

But I would demand an explanation. Put my foot down!

Renee!

Ah!

Hello. You made it back last night? Let's talk about it!

It took a half-hour to get a taxi!

I even met Your special friend.

The evening visitor.

He did not tell you anything?

Officer of the Legion of Honor! He's your age!

Louise, you want to finish some other furniture?

So, you mentioned a. ..

I asked the fire ... This is not true.

This is not true.

You make me spy? Me?

You do not know? What?

This individual came to the store the other day.

Under what pretext?

He looked around the store, casually:

"Very nice, this chair. Funny, this sofa."

He failed to take the real mirror for 10,000 francs.

He didn't tell you anything? Absolutely nothing.

Did you talk about me? Never.

You were afraid he'd be jealous?

No. Because you are not a topic of conversation.

Charming.

It's quite strange, this investigation.

It is even very offensive.

For whom?

Be serious.

Yesterday evening it was I who called Philip.

I phoned him from the club

without saying where I was and with whom.

Why?

Oh, you were being you, and I, was uncertain.

I knew I would say the little phrase.

So I called for help.

You are funny.

Would you make love with me for fun?

This is not a world event.

No need to make a big deal of it. We'll return by noon.

Before noon?

Will you?

Renee!

Renee!

Renee!

Do you have to make a call now?

It's a disease!

Hello, the Regional?

The 18 has Montfort l'Amaury, please.

That's funny.

I have not changed since I've known you.

Me, I think you are pretty good.

Put your head on my shoulder, that's all I ask.

I do not know if I will ever put my head on your shoulder,

but the idea is not so unpleasant.

The line is not free.

Hopefully it will be free before noon.

I envy the women with whom men can speak freely.

On this point, you are perfect. Perfect.

I always join the action on the floor.

I never talk this way.

I have friends who cannot go out

without being approached.

Or take the train without an early adventure.

And not you? Me, never.

And God knows I often took the train.

Men pass,

throw me a glance,

and then it stops there.

I'm cold as ice.

In the street, I was often followed, but always at a distance.

You must slow down. And always respectfully.

Oh, the cads!

I don't have an inferiority complex.

I know I'm pretty.

I don't have to be a Mona Lisa.

If I had followed you in the street, I would speak.

The 18 has Montfort l'Amaury, please.

What day is it? Friday.

Tomorrow is Saturday and after tomorrow, Sunday.

Yep!

Hello, the Renardiere? Don't stop.

Do you like Montfort l'Amaury?

So book a room for the weekend.

- We had to leave around 6 am

I packed new pajamas.

A client.

Yum-yum!

Are you Pleger?

No, miss. Can I take her place?

It will be difficult. She is in Paris?

Yes, miss. It will not be long.

Louise is up there?

Oh, but you know home!

No. She is out.

It does not matter. I'll wait here.

She sells this now? It's become a little flea market.

You are a friend?

Yes and no. A parent?

Something else.

Her niece? No.

Her cousin? No.

Her sister? Not that either.

Her mother then?

Close. I am her daughter.

No, no kidding? That surprises you?

Nothing surprises me about Ms. Pleger.

How old are you? 18.

"18 years"?

18 and 18 ... Ah yes, it can go.

What are you doing here exactly? Nothing yet. I'm helping your mamma.

Kiss me, my darling! Thank you. I don't want to.

You do not kiss your mom?

No, thank you. I embrace beautiful boys.

Oh well, I say so myself!

Where are you coming from, with your suitcase?

From a very boring place, and I'll never go back.

Ah! Lausanne. I was tired!

What were you doing at Lausanne?

Are you the police?

Daniele ...

Mom! What are you doing?

I'll explain. Have you been here a while?

Time to get acquainted.

You did not tell me you had a 12 year old daughter.

Very funny, this gentleman.

You did not telephone, by chance?

Because she could.

Yes. But you could not.

You went to the hairdresser. If you've been there,

you wouldn't be home yet.

You have to attend a grand gala tonight, from midnight to dawn.

The gala is always disappointing.

I can go in your place.

It prohibits those under 18. More reason.

No. I'll stay with you tonight.

Take your suitcase.

Goodbye, have fun.

Settle in, I'm coming.

My little girl ... I have not seen her grow.

She pushes away from me.

She came a few days a year to Paris.

Always different, changing ...

Someone different

that needed me I know.

I wasn't there for her.

I was a stranger to her.

I divorced when she was three.

Her father moved to the United States.

I tried to compensate ...

for it by making a daughter cultivated,

educated,

respecting her freedom.

I let her take her vacations away from me.

It suited me.

- The arrival of Daniele did not sit well with me.

Our weekend at Montfort l'Amaury would not occur.

And soon it was 7:00.

Finding someone with a bed that Saturday night ...

I didn't know.

It may be better. I would have turned into a joke.

Not at all!

I had already written to Guerbois. It can still be used.

But Renee, after what you told me ...

We'll talk seriously on Monday. Go!

It's just fine, right?

No hard feelings?

I'm hurt. I had amazing pajamas.

Guerbois that telephoned, the girl who landed ...

We had to end it.

And at home, I kept thinking of breaking up ...

Renee ...

No, that's no good.

My dear Renee,

I've been thinking a lot.

Your life is set, mine is ahead of me,

and it's in our best interest to leave it.

It is wiser.

We were a bit crazy.

Your daughter ...

Your role as a mother ...

No. We have no right to spoil such a beautiful thing.

I remain your friend. It is not without regret that ...

Here is your warm shirt. Right from the board.

Renee, we must separate. I'm not Renee.

Farewell, Renee! Farewell!

Good morning, Renee.

Hello, Lawrence.

Renee, I really think ...

We have done wrong.

Your daughter, your role as a mother ...

We are beasts! What do we do?

We'll start with not seeing one another and then eventually forget.

That was your intention, wasn't it?

No ... Finally, on reflection ...

Don't think. Go, go!

You are a beautiful thing. And you, a funny youngster.

I always miss the great opportunities.

Don't be bitter. I'm not the woman for you.

What you need, is like Pepe.

She runs through the streets.

I won't ever take her to Montfort l'Amaury!

Maybe! No, it's too expensive.

I'm helping you save.

Farewell, Lawrence. Don't regret anything.

I regret

what might have happened.

You'd be on my couch. Me without pajamas.

You, modest with shy charm

the bright eyes, breast ...

Oh no!

No, no, no. Why,"no, no, no"?

I do not like the idea of a sign with a naked woman.

Offer me something else!

Lawrence wants us to get a new sign for the shop.

Oh, it's a good idea! Isn't it?

Especially since the store needs a little sprucing up.

If your mother agrees, I will try to find something else.

Good. Tomorrow, bring your equipment.

You can set up in the back.

I didn't know how to get rid of him.

A question. Your daughter ...

Do you know if your daughter had a diary?

A journal? Yes.

It was not at all in her character.

Ah!

- Everything went very well

When I told Mom that I left the college

and that it was no longer part of my philosophy.

She took it well.

I'll go to the Ecole du Louvre.

At the Ecole du Louvre, there must be interesting boys.

Boys like Lawrence.

I like to watch him work.

He knows everything.

Lots of fun and nothing fascinates him.

If I were his wife, I'd be somebody.

His way of looking at me ...

If you take me for an impetuous girl

out of her league,

you're wrong.

What kind of music do you like?

Everything. And you? I love Bach.

Who? Bach.

When do you hear Bach?

You cannot be serious?

Bach, Sacred Bacchante, get out of here!

You talk like that to women? "Women"?

Is that what you are? Daniele, you want to come?

What are you waiting for?

She can wait. I'm free, right?

Oh yeah?

You should not take me for a fool.

I always do what pleases me. Ah!

How charming.

Well! Is that how?

Maybe in Switzerland.

I'll show you. Relax.

Bring yourself a little closer.

Pure, light. You see, light.

Don't waste your morning.

Your mom is waiting for you.

Hey!

We'll have dinner together tonight. Tonight I ...

Sort this out now!

Hey!

You know it? What is it?

It's Bach, silly! Bach, Bach!

Taste this. You never drank anything like it.

Not bad. Not "bad"? It's perfect!

Good evening, Lawrence. Hello!

Want me to take that? Have a seat.

How are you?

I start tomorrow evening at the Dove with your song.

That wasn't difficult.

You write songs?

Yes. Words and music.

What do you do, in life?

Stuff, bits of scenery, copies of paintings ...

Useless things, not a profession.

Well, I have no profession.

I present myself, Ermanno Casanova. I'm going to make a film.

I have a role for you.

I do not know you. I'm his manager.

Hello, everyone! Hello, you!

Hello. How are you?

Oh! Why didn't you come yesterday evening, quitter?

Why didn't you come? It was a great bash.

Is that your sister? She's not bad, eh.

Hello, hello.

Goodbye.

You come here often? Every night.

How do you find the steak? Not too good.

But the place is fun, right? Not at all.

The women here are very friendly.

They are not difficult.

But they're charming women.

It can be a chapter for your journal.

I do not want it in my journal. Ah well, generally the virgins ...

Lawrence, don't you see you're better than that?

Better than all these rats?

How do you like that picture?

- It is yours?

Who told you?

It looks like you. Ah!

It could be much better. So you say!

You didn't say that when I kissed you.

I will answer you when I have something to compare.

Was that your first kiss? No, but in Switzerland, you know ...

Do you mind if I try again?

Whenever I speak the name of Lawrence

Mom's face gets serious.

I wish I could confide in her, but I don't feel close to her.

Lawrence is an oddity with her.

One would think she would like him.

Ladies I wish you good morning.

We take advantage of this beautiful day?

Did you sleep well? Not too tired?

I look tired? Oh, the picture of serenity!

And how is that dear Mr. Guerbois?

Very well, and thank you.

And how is the store sign? It doesn't look too bad.

He has nothing to show us.

Your curiosity flatters me,

but my taste for perfection forces me to take my time.

- This famous sign, he never finished it,

and for good reason.

I felt it better to say nothing,

I didn't know how Daniele would react.

That evening, I made a decision.

I thought about your education last night.

It's crazy for you to drop out.

Why education, not life?

Your own complexes. Did you get your education?

No, I'm not a very good example for you.

I thought we were in agreement.

I agreed to your coming here, but I gave in too quickly.

I called several colleges, but there were no openings.

You leave for Geneva tomorrow. You will finish your studies in Grisons.

You just couldn't wait. You could've told me, right?

I love you too much to argue with you.

You think I enjoy seeing you go?

Besides, you'll be back soon, you know.

You might be right. I am sure, darling.

What time does the plane leave? At noon.

Farewell, virgin!

What.

Aren't you glad?

I thought you were up there. You're not a passenger?

I never intended to leave.

Even when you said goodbye? Yes.

You could have told me. I didn't have enough confidence in you.

I'm happy, happy!

You didn't go to the airport?

I had to. Mom accompanied me.

Since they don't remove the stairs immediately,

I came back down.

And here I am. And your luggage?

It's en route to Geneva.

So I'm staying with you?

Ah, of course, This is not Versailles.

But in bed, whether here or at the Ritz,

it's the same thing.

And yet, I'd rather be here with you

Hell with the Ritz.

Let's see how you care for a woman.

Don't say I don't love you.

Love me, love me ...

Maybe tomorrow morning you will love me no more.

I may know everything then.

Lawrence, I want to make love.

I'm sure.

You think I'm a little crazy

but as you're not very well balanced ...

And then, shit!

In bed, she was not bad.

No experience, but giving.

We stayed three days ...

What am I saying? 4 days without going out.

I didn't want to see friends.

Moreover, I was a very nice boyfriend.

We laughed like crazy.

That's how I understand philosophy. If Sartre saw us now!

- Daniele promised to write after she arrived.

After four days I had not received ...

-From Orly?

Why don't you know?

Yes, of course, you couldn't guess.

Thank you very much.

Daniele did not leave Paris.

She went down five minutes before takeoff

and we did not watch.

And Lawrence has still not reappeared.

The situation is extremely clear, right?

- Enter.

Madam, I have the honor and joy

to request your daughter's hand.

- I felt all the grotesqueness of this situation.

A sordid farce.

I watched Daniele and it was I who was ashamed.

- That's it, it was marriage. And all this by challenge.

And if I liked Daniele?

- I was happy,

but I wanted Mom to be also.

Did you agree? No, I refused.

Ah!

I waited eight days.

They seemed determined to live together ...

Hello? Ah, you, Fleming! Finally!

So the test?

But of course it's to be released. It's elementary.

No. I'll return immediately.

I am called to the station, if you want to accompany me.

I will not keep you long. One moment.

Louise?

- Finally I'm alone with him in the snow.

We spent the day laughing. We made silly puns.

If I had paid attention, there was no money coming in.

- Prisoner of the mountains.

I need so much freedom.

The poor little girl did not measure up.

Living with a woman 24 hours a day, it was beyond my strength.

Like two doves in love.

One of them was bored at home. You look happy.

You smile. Yes, at a passing English woman.

Finally one day, out of money, we telegraphed her mother.

Renee didn't want to know.

She said "Go quickly. I have a surprise foryou."

Daniele thought she had an apartment.

But she had a better idea.

You can live here.

- And you, Mom?

Me, I'll stay in the back room.

This is a secretary I found on sale.

The bed comes from the hotel Lambert. Chopin slept on it.

Say, he did not laugh often.

Tell me at least that you like it. I went to a lot of trouble.

- I looked at the room. I should be happy.

Yet something depressed me.

I watched mom.

Come on.

And here are your ties.

Oh, but these are nice!

You like them?

I put the catch for your electric shaver.

And here is the razor.

I want Daniele to have a clean shaven husband.

Show me your face. Decidedly, in the mountains

you succeeded.

- I began to understand. But drew back this idea.

I didn't even want to have this thought.

It was silly. I pretended to be happy.

But it's really too nice, Mom.

But yes. You overwhelm me with gifts.

- They were thrilled.

I wanted to avoid any worries.

But we will not stay long.

We will have an apartment ... Sure.

For now, this is the best solution.

Lawrence will have no excuse for being late.

Why "late"? Well, to work, of course!

What will you live on?

You didn't think about that?

I tidied up the reserve. You can paint.

And there is the store.

Me, I want to interest you in profits,

but you must help me a bit.

- She was caged.

But for how long?

Goodbye.

For you!

What happened to you?

I found an apartment at Rue Mazarine.

Not a penny of expense.

This is not true.

April Fool.

I wanted to know what you really thought.

What do you mean?

You have arranged it so that we are living together!

But, Madam, I'm married. Little fool, go.

It has nothing to do with us.

Who do you think you are?

You neglected to understand.

If you believed I'm playing around on your marriage to Daniele

you're wrong.

I want her to be happy with you, and she will be.

For a few weeks he kept quiet.

But it did not last.

My presence was exasperating.

He benefited at the first opportunity.

A dummy, very pretty.

A Swede.

Oh la la la la! What's the matter?

All these women I will not know.

Extraordinary, this piece of Ionesco.

Yes, great. You saw?

With Philip. There are wonderful scenes.

Like the scene about the old syllogisms.

How did it go? All cats are mortal;

Socrates is mortal ...

Therefore Socrates is a cat. And the tirade of the last act.

Which piece of Ionesco?

The Rhinoceros.

That means something to you?

You did not see it.

I read it.

You don't want me to talk.

It's not of interest to you.

Why are you laughing?

It's nothing. An idea.

- It is imperative we leave this house.

A maid's room, anything

but we must be alone.

What, are you playing?

Nothing, nothing. I'm improvising.

- What are you thinking?

Where were we?

You said he didn't like being around you.

Yes. And one day, friends,

his friends came to the store.

Ten, five, six girls.

Ah yes, I see.

What are you doing? How are you ...

I know that song.

Yes.

He got carried away and it continued.

Daniele was in a state!

Me, I tried to get her mind off him.

Thus I took her to the Swiss Village shopping.

By the time we left, what do I see?

The Swede with Lawrence.

Go ahead, Mom. Go on!

Follow ... I wanted to let them go by,

but Daniele had seen them.

It was unleashed.

Faster, I tell you! But I can not.

You're doing it on purpose! Daniele, calm down.

This manhunt is ridiculous. A bit of dignity.

I do not care for your advice. Catch him.

He had spotted us in his rearview mirror.

He chuckled.

This ordeal flattered his self-esteem.

And how did it end? With a ticket?

- I pretended not to see them.

But Mom had seen them.

He cares about us! It's me that he's looking at.

And not me?

It was not about me.

That meant it was between him and her?

What are you waiting for?

- The next day, at night, a frightful din.

- Open up?

Are you going to open up? It's me, don't worry!

- He is in a state! I will see him.

I beg you, do not meddle.

- I will break down the door.

The return of the warrior! I returned from the Crusades!

You Turks hello!

You here?

Not yet gone to bed, at your age?

Will you be silent? To bed, to bed!

Without me and deprived of dessert!

And if you are not wise I'll give you a spanking.

It will be funny, right? You are despicable!

They find me charming.

The Swedish find me charming.

Let us, Mom. Yes, let us.

Good night! Good night.

Lawrence!

Leave me alone!

Name, surname: Lawrence Lenaud!

Lawrence Lenaud, unknown to the battalion!

I answer for him, colonel.

But let me!

Chopin!

Come to bed, Lawrence!

But leave me alone! I do not want to go to bed.

I cheat on my wife enough like that.

No!

I do not want to sleep!

I know you're my wife.

That's why I do not sleep with you.

I have to forget you.

When I would have forgotten, then maybe ...

Lawrence! Maybe ...

Lawrence! Yes.

Sit down.

Yes. Lawrence, sit down.

Ah, you, you take away my shoes

to prevent me from leaving!

Thief! Renee!

Help, Renee!

Naughty!

Naughty.

You are calm? Yes.

Lawrence ...

Come to bed. Come to bed.

No!

When I sleep with you,

I feel it's an obligation.

But ... Pain in the ass, daughter of the plague!

I was trapped.

I could not live between these two women.

I had to get out.

What are you doing? I was waiting ...

Feeling better?

You do not ... Did you not sleep?

What happened? Don't you remember?

It's for the better, Lawrence. Good for both of us.

Daniele ...

But you're shaking. You know, it's a little cold.

It's because of me? Yes.

I was very scared, you know. You made me very afraid.

I do not know what I told you, but it was not true.

I wasn't thinking. You believe me? Yes.

Right now, you're sincere. But I am always sincere.

Wash your face. It will refresh your memory.

Are you OK?

I am disgusting. But no!

Yes I am!

I am disgusting.

You understand ...

Above all, I don't want you to be punished.

I can't stand it. It's more than I can take.

When I deceive you ... Let us not mince words.

I resent it when you spoil my fun.

Then I pity you, and I love you more than before.

Don't do that. It annoys me.

I will think of the Swede no more.

Only now, because I'm talking ...

I decided not to see her again.

She went back to her country. I accompanied her to the station.

Her name was Greta.

You know yesterday when you were in the car with her ...

It was not me that wanted to follow you.

Can I ask you a question? About the Swede?

I don't care,

about the Swede!

So, can I?

Well, go on.

What happened between mother and you?

What? You're crazy, right?

But this is not a criticism.

It's nothing. I swear.

Now, there is you. I don't even think about.

But, you knew her before me.

Do not insist, I'll get angry.

If I loved your mother,

I would not deceive you. But I ...

You are different. You're my wife.

Don't you realize? My wife! My wife!

For a while Lawrence kept quiet.

But his good behavior did not last.

He was like a caged bear.

I wanted to have a serious conversation with him.

It was not possible.

And one day, I had to go to a sale.

Lawrence leaps into my car and wants to accompany me.

Daniele insisted I take him.

She knew that I was a good influence on him.

And this idea to take me to the sale!

Daniele was furious. I managed to calm her.

We had to make a round trip. Go over in the morning, return in the evening.

I passed on the sale. I had no interest.

That evening, we ate before leaving.

Are you already celebrating?

To travel 300 km for a candlestick, nobody would believe us.

God knows ...

Yet it is both,

your hand,

you don't remove it,

and my intentions are as pure as yours.

What are you thinking? The same things as you.

Some thoughts without ulterior motives.

I'm proud of us.

It took time for us to get here.

Yes, though it's not Montfort l'Amaury.

We did well, right?

It has increased our awareness.

We may be movin on.

We have no regrets. It was a narrow escape.

You would not have lasted more than 15 days.

Oh no. And today, I hate you.

And you are not giving me back my hand.

Yes, my hand. Ah yes, your hand.

I surrender. You're not missing a finger.

Count. If, if, if. No. I trust you.

And why? Because I know you better

than you know yourself.

And I have to be known? But yes.

Guerbois spoke to me the other day. Guerbois?

He showed two of your paintings at Berthier.

You know, the gallery of La Boetie. He thought they were very good.

But he wouldn't like them for an exhibition.

Not at all. He wants them.

For 15 days May 20 to June 5

It's a joke? No.

If you have talent, they will sell.

But then, you love me. I didn't say that.

No, no, look at me. You love me.

That's crazy! You are crazy!

Look me in the face and tell me you don't love me.

I don't love you.

Yet.

I don't love you. Stronger.

But I don't love you. Better than that.

I don't love you I don't love you ...

Stop! Liar. Oh!

Aren't you ashamed to lie at your age?

If your daughter was watching us. Oh!

You know what I want ... Pay the bill.

Miss!

- And 20 minutes later we stopped on the road.

Ran out of gas.

The car will not start.

During this time, nothing special happened?

Nothing.

We were 3 hours late getting home.

I understand why you called Renee.

Don't tell me there was nothing. Nothing.

You want a little slap? Nothing, I swear. Nothing.

What about Daniele? "Daniele"?

When you returned?

She slept.

No. No, she wasn't asleep.

- They said they would return around midnight.

I was determined not to fall asleep.

Finally, at 3 AM ...

You're not in bed?

I was wondering where you were.

But I see that all went well.

We ran out of gas. Apart from that ...

Ran out of gas? Yes, at night.

If you had returned earlier ...

You may not have been in a hurry to return.

It isn't always what we want.

The wrong road ...

Because motorists ...

It was useless to follow the signs. The road ...

Spare me your story about the road.

My darling, you are in a bad mood tonight!

Not tonight, this morning.

But you may as well have not returned.

She is angry and disappointed because we have not had an accident.

What a mentality!

We are safe. Excuse us!

Here, look at this. It's beautiful, right?

600 km to bring back this horror?

600 km, it's almost a honeymoon.

What are you doing Daniele? Are you crazy?

Lawrence, tell her

what you decided.

I set out in two months to Berthier.

In two months, I'll be somebody.

And all this for you, because of you, dummy!

Think about it, sugar.

If I work, it's not because I love to work.

Should I love that?

Look at your girl. This is what she gives when she is happy.

Go, keep your tears, idiot. We don't know what will happen.

- It's wonderful, life. He went to work,

and painted me.

Just us.

I'm happy. Finally!

I never will!

There's too many painters before me. It prevents me from seeing.

Hey, do not move.

One should never go to museums.

And believe it is the first.

I have found it. You look like something.

I do not know yet what, but you'll like it.

And the big day arrives.

The force behind the exhibition was Guerbois.

It had cost him more than 1 million.

He had managed to bring the TV people and lots of familiar faces.

Do you realize? Relationships, money ...

You know Dr. Pleger? Good evening.

I'm sorry I was late.

It is very nice, my darling. Your husband is a very handsome man.

- Daniele was thrilled.

All my paintings reflecting her image.

Darling, this is the happiest day of my life.

She did not say so. And yet, one day in ten minutes.

I had never seen all my paintings hanging together.

Smoking cigarettes.

With nowhere to go.

Each canvas was a bit of pastiche.

Here, the arabesque of Matisse.

There, the spirit of Leonor Fini.

Here, the influence of the Impressionists.

There, the reminiscences of cubism.

Picasso is happening here,

and Buffet, there.

Personally, I find it quite tonal. And you?

I am here because I'm with a girl.

I'm killing time.

Chopped onion, parsley,

you cook it 3 hours.

The mince, veal or pork? Pork!

And who are you with tonight?

I'm with Guy. Lucky.

- I love this picture. The way he treats her eyes.

We can see he loves his wife.

It's full of love.

That's my painting? Oh, they are nice.

A minute more, and I'll become like them.

Oh no, I'd rather die!

And it gets pushed by the TV reporters.

It is a success, eh? You have some very good articles.

I'll introduce you to Bricard. He's very influential.

He has the ear of Fine Arts.

The eye of Ca.i.n, Cleopatra's nose ...

Be serious.

Mr. Bricard, Lawrence Lenaud here.

Nice to meet you. Television.

I am very favorably impressed.

You do all portraits.

Look at this one. It's a piece of shit.

But, Madam ... You didn't record that did you?

No. It has no sound.

Oh, come! For radio.

Three, two, one, zero. We are in the gallery Berthier

at the grand opening for a young painter, Lawrence Lenaud,

who will speak about his exhibition.

How did you get into this vocation?

What vocation, madam? Painting.

What painting? You don't paint?

These 20 paintings. 20 worth nothing.

The modesty of Mr. Lenaud is equaled only by his courage.

I'm a bad painter.

But you sign ...

It has no value.

It is a painting con, nothing but a con!

And this is the evening that I came to your house.

If I was your wife, you'd already be dead.

Don't make a scene.

It is because of this that I, I have this thing to wear!

A stripper. That's all you can say?

What do you want me to say? I regret this scandal?

I regret leaving Daniele? I regret being with you?

I could not foresee all this.

Moreover, What is happening?

What is the evidence that Renee did not kill her?

She did not try to escape from the police.

That's true.

What can I do?

Listen, I do not know if you killed her or not,

but your place ...

No, no ... If it goes wrong ...

It's better that you decide yourself.

You're old enough, right?

Good.

Tails, I go. Heads I stay. Flip it!

- Where is Lawrence? Eight days without news.

He has not reappeared in his usual pubs.

I looked, searched everywhere.

No address, not a clue.

What does she think?

She believed everything was fixed,

made reasonable.

Exposure, an opening to success.

If she would have listened.

I wanted a mom to help me, too.

Thank God she didn't take him. He's a failure.

What makes you laugh?

- I wanted to answer her:

"Oh, nothing. We're just like two widows."

If only I knew where he was.

Oh, he's gone for good.

He is gone forever. But no, it's not possible!

No, he will return. Or do you want him to go?

Like before?

When he was a runaway for a day or two,

I said nothing. I considered him irrelevant.

His passing fancies, whims. All men are like that.

But this time he'll pay.

You see, I do not want you to be unhappy.

If I am unhappy you can console me.

To sum it up.

He was gone without leaving an address.

Yes, but we ended up ... Enter.

Mr. Commissioner.

You bring him to me when I call you.

Your shooter

is in the house.

Finally!

He was at the hotel in Venice? Yes.

Naturally. Philip had found the address.

She was stronger than me. I went to the hotel in Venice.

I hate to find myself face to face with him.

First Floor, Room 8.

Philip was right.

Yes?

Ah, Fleming. can we speak?

Excuse me.

Date of birth? May 19, 1935.

I have the test results. Ah finally!

Positive. No kidding?

Particles are embedded in the skin of the victim,

powder, chemical materials.

Very accurate.

It seems to be a suicide.

No bruising, So no fight.

And the left hand of Daniele Lenaud Setting aside her robe.

The classic gesture. A newbie would conclude suicide.

The trouble is that we are not beginners. Thank you.

He has confessed?

You left off at Room 8.

Enter.

His portfolio.

And in the portfolio ...

So they were going to Lebanon.

And when I returned home,

I found Daniele murdered.

Mr. Lenaud.

So to get you, I must send an embassy?

You're presumed guilty

since you do not proclaim to be innocent.

I would have come. You were too busy.

Excuse us.

Besides, my opinion is formed. It's a textbook case.

Just like the book.

You do not ... I don't think I'll listen.

Sit down.

The night of the death of your wife,

I know your schedule.

At what time? I'll help you.

You live at the hotel Venice with a stripper?

Yes. A good girl to whom I'm not accountable.

Between 8 PM and midnight where were you?

First, I dined with Rossana, to 10 PM

I returned quietly to the hotel.

Daniele had left a note.

She got my address.

She would probably have an explanation for me.

Come see me tonight.

You'll probably tell me something. Daniele.

Oh, it was not news.

Especially since I had nothing to say.

Rossana had forgotten to lock the door.

I open, I go and ...

You have no idea the spectacle that awaited me.

The end of the world.

Daniele did not care about me. It was the bouquet!

There it is, her letter. I still have it.

Was it your wife who ransacked your room?

Who do you think it was?

However, if it was not her ... Who?

Yes.

But this is not possible.

To do that with such violence,

with so much hate

It's a proof of love, right?

I liked her, Daniele.

We could have become friends. But at the time,

I was crazy, I would have done anything.

It seems I have something to say.

This is what I have to say.

Where are my shirts?

First repayment. And it's not over!

No! Do not do that!

I beg you!

It was then she got shot.

It was there that a shot.

If you are not a coward,

you would know that this is not what happened.

She committed suicide.

Yes, ma'am.

You are sure?

Those are the findings of the assessment.

"Suicide"?

And you arrest me?

You are not guilty, but you are responsible.

So, eh ...

You are not a wonderful husband.

Her suicide began the day she met you.

I was nice, that day.

And other days?

She's no longer here to regret the life that you made.

A life not very pleasant.

You cannot understand.

You may go.

My assistant will record your deposition.

Forgive me, Renee.

The one thing that comforts me.

Is that it's not my place to close the case.

Here, you can take it.

It's not too late

to know your daughter.

This is her diary.

It's missing the last chapter.
