LA FEMME INFIDELE Subtitled version

AmericasCardroom.com brings poker back Million Dollar Sunday Tournament every Sunday

How slim he used to be

That was just before we met

He isn't exactly fat, you know

No, but he's plump; he doesn't get enough exercise

I think he's lost a little weight recently

It doesn't show

That was when Michel was born

We picked you some flowers, grandma

- Have we been too long? - No, they're beautiful

- And who's this? - It's me

lt's late, my dears; I must run

- I'll see you home, mother - Just to my car

- I'll see you home, too - Now there's a gallant gentleman

I'll say good-bye here, if you don't mind

I told Helene you should take more exercise; you'll start bulging behind

Don't undermine my authority; I feel comfortable

A change in my way of life might upset the harmony. Should I take up fishing?

We can't all be racing drivers

Now look here, it's my great amusement

It's your one eccentricity

That's not true; I like Pernod and that's eccentric!

- Where are my glasses? - You left them in the lounge

They must be on the mantelpiece

I'm afraid I can't tell you. That's quite all right

Mother forgot her glasses

Do you love me?

Why do you ask that?

Do you love me?

Did I tell you about those paintings?

It's possible the guy may have obtained forged expert opinions

- Can I go and read in bed? - You can go to bed, anyhow

- No television tonight? - It's a pain in the neck

Divine discernment

- What are you reading? - The Origin of the Gods

- What's it like? - Not bad

You're not following your son's example

Allow me my vice

The worse it is, the better I like it

Your mother's a remarkable person

Remarkable, but she'll have an accident some day

No chance with her driving

Do you think she should enter a rally?

This interlude is terrific

What time are you leaving tomorrow?

Why?

l've some things to do; you could give me a lift

- About ten; later if you like - Ten will be fine

What are you doing tomorrow? Where is it you have to go?

I'm going to have a facial

- What's the matter? - You know that makes me laugh

Then I'm going to the hairdresser

After that I may treat myself to a movie

Is anything good on?

They'll know at Carita's

Shall we have lunch together?

I don't think I'll have time... I don't think I possibly can

Come to the office and I'll drive you home

- No, I'll just take the train - But I insist; I'll wait for you

We apologize for the temporary loss of picture

Don't you find it hot? I'd like to open the window

Aren't you asleep?

l was going to ask the same thing

- Shall I put on the light? - If you like

You're run down, like a battery

Poor darling, you're tired

A little; I think I'll be able to sleep now

You read, if you like

You can put out the light

Shall I drop you at the corner?

- See you at the office this evening? - Of course

You're smoking like a trooper today

How about a drink?

More mini than ever

We're thirsty, Brigitte; a beer for me... how about you?

Nice and cool

She'll be tumbling you before long

She has

More goodwill than any real talent

You know, most women think they attach importance to sex...

but they don't really give a damn

- What time is it? - Half past three

- I'll see to our parking discs - I'll do it; it'll clear my head

- It's almost frozen solid - lt's undrinkable like that

The icy beer of egoist calculation

So I said to him: "Go take a jump at yourself"

A telephone token, please

The telephone's downstairs

Carita? Could I speak to Madame Desvallees, please?

Madame Desvallees, please; it's her husband calling

| see; well, never mind, it's of no consequence

Have you any cigarettes?

Madame Desvallees is here

Am I too early? Haven't you finished?

Yes, I've finished

Would you like a drink? Whisky?

Two whiskies, please

Enticing!

Doesn't live up to the promise, Paul says

Where is Paul, by the way? Out hunting?

No, he's busy with a rather tiresome case

I called you at the hairdresser

- You did? Why? - To tell you I'd be finished early

- No one told me - You'd already left

Yes, I went to see Dr. Zhivago again

But you didn't like it

No, but I wanted to see it again; I liked it much better this time

For once you won't be wanting to tell me the story

From 1852 to 1860...

Napoleon 111 governed France like his uncle, Napoleon 1...

and maintained for the French people...

their right...

to universal suffrage

But before the elections...

he specified which candidate the electors should vote for

These candidates were almost always elected

One more revision, then to bed

- Can I look it over in bed? - No, or you'll read the Gods book

I won't, or I won't get the class prize

All right, go on, then

I'd like to take you out

What would you say to a night spot, the King Club or somewhere like that?

No, not tonight; tomorrow or the day after

We'll get a few friends together

Paul... Georges and his wife...

Frederic and Marianne

Frederic isn't living with Marianne any more

All right, Frederic without Marianne

What do you say?

You know I'd love it

They shouldn't set it aflame

It's better with a milder alcohol...

that keeps its natural flavour

I'd forgotten he was a terrific cook

I've probably lost my touch

Anyway, the dinner was terrific

What a lovely idea this was

The hermit having a ball

It was Heléne's idea

It was yours

It was telepathy

I hope you enjoyed your dinner. Is everything all right?

- Come and dance - Thanks, I'm enjoying myself

You look like a prick

I can't say the same for you

- Have you seen Helene? - No, I've got my hands full already

Where were you? Did you get pins and needles?

No, | feel like dancing

Give me a few minutes; l'm exhausted

She's out of training; shame on you

Did you like Paul's bird?

Why don't you pour us a drink?

You've got a lovely tan

May I introduce Charles and Helene Desvallees?

You have no luck

She's a lush

Had fun?

You're a darling

- What are you doing there? - Waiting for you; I couldn't sleep

- What's all this nonsense? - I don't like you not being here

Silly boy; off to your room now

There's no school tomorrow. I don't like you not being there

So you said; now go to sleep

That's no way to behave for a boy who'll be ten next week, is it?

- Thank you - What for?

For the evening... for Michel

For everything

- Michel will hear us - No, he won't

Suppose he gets up again?

Get my wife at home, would you, Brigitte?

l was to collect something and I've forgotten what

Are you going to find that file or not?

Would you have a paper handkerchief?

I think I've caught a cold

| only got the maid; your wife went to Paris this afternoon

She'll probably get whatever it was

She didn't trust me

Could you send out for paper handkerchiefs?

l have some

Bignon? lt's Desvallees speaking

Can I see you very urgently?

When can I see you?

No, preferably not at the office; I'll explain why

Do you know the bar next door? I'll see you there in half an hour

You haven't been waiting long, have you?

I'm sorry about the paintings, but the experts' letters are genuine

I know; the paintings are forgeries, but the certificates are genuine

That wasn't why I sent for you

It's a personal matter

I want you...

to check on someone's movements

You know my wife?

I met her twice at your office

I want to know where she goes in Paris...

who she sees

So... do you understand?

Will you do it?

You don't approve of what I'm asking you to do, yet it's your job

l have doubts about her fidelity; I want you to check, that's all

I want to know the name of her lover; I want you to find out who he is

How long do you want me to maintain observation?

I don't know

Whatever... three, four days

Shall we meet again in four days? Where?

I don't know... here

Not here; I'll find somewhere more private and secluded. But...

Suppose I don't find out anything?

I want to hear the truth, Bignon

Don't be late tonight; there's a surprise

You had to wait for me this time

Did you find out?

Do you know a Monsieur Pegala?

He's the one?

Your wife visits him every two or three days, maybe three times a week

She stays about two hours; they never go out together

- What's he like? Have you seen him? - l have a photograph

What does he do?

He writes, but he has a private income

Where does he live?

Neuilly: 27 rue du Bois de Boulogne, the ground floor

I'm so sorry

What do I owe you?

Here are the accounts; it comes to five hundred francs in all

Shall I leave the photograph?

I don't expect... we'll ever meet again

Daddy's here!

You're early. I'll bring you a drink in the lounge

What's going on?

We've something to celebrate

- I'm going to drink champagne! - You are? In honour of what?

l was first in history, so I got the prize

Then you must have champagne

To your good health!

To your success, my boy!

To this memorable day!

Want some coconut cakes?

Can I look in your drawer?

Is this you in the photograph?

What photograph?

That's my son

You've a child?

l've two, a boy and a girl; surprised?

I don't know, I'd never thought about it

The boy is seven

And the girl is... she's five

Are you divorced?

Yes, we were married for five years; she was a real bitch

She has custody of the children?

Yes, it's best for them

- Do you see them often? - Yes, every month

Occasionally we have a week together

Are they fond of you?

Yes, I'm a good father. What a conversation this is

It's strange... I couldn't live without my son

So I should hope

Nor could my husband

So that's all right

- What time is it? - Five o'clock

I must go

Going now?

- When will I see you? - The day after tomorrow

- Why not tomorrow? - Because I can't

Shouldn't l ring for a taxi?

l'll walk to the rank

But it's raining

Here the impossible union of spheres of existence is activated

Here the past and future are conquered, and reconciled

I missed the seven o'clock train; no taxis, so I had to take a bus

I waited half an hour at the station

l'll pour myself a little drink

If you'd phoned the office I could have brought you back

Yes, I know, but I wasn't thinking

I'll make you a beard

Now a moustache

I'm off. Aren't you going to Paris today?

Not today; I'm staying with my little man

My friends are all coming. Will they bring me presents?

Don't be so mercenary; the idea is for you to have fun

I hired a conjurer for 200 francs, if that's OK. They'll enjoy that

Hurry back this evening

Don't worry, I'm not a hawker, cadger or bailiff

Fine, but that doesn't tell me what you want

It's a rather difficult question

If I tell you who I am, you'll get the wrong idea

Tell me, anyway

l'm Heléne's husband

Don't get the wrong idea

Allow me a moment to be taken aback

A drink?

- Scotch or Bourbon? - Bourbon, for a change

Yes, it's a better morning drink

Now let me explain

I don't know if Heléne's told you, but we have a very free arrangement

We're very close, but we have an understanding

We don't encroach on each other's liberty. You follow me?

In other words, there is a complicity between us...

that you must surely understand

We tell each other everything; I just had to meet you

I'm delighted to hear it

Perhaps a little surprised, too

I didn't imagine you as a couple like that

I think it's marvellous, though... really I do

One always has... certain misgivings about sleeping with a married woman

One worries about unpleasant scenes

At least, I do

But you've set my mind at rest

Especially as you're a rather special case

Helene has a lot of adventures

I mean, she's no tart, but usually once or twice is enough for her

You're privileged

I haven't really known her long, just two or three weeks

How did you meet her?

Have you a light, please?

No thanks, I don't smoke, because...

I never smoke in the mornings, because...

It happened by chance, in a cinema

l was sitting next to her and sensed a sort of...

availability; I'm sure you know what I mean

The film was bad and we both grumbled about it together

Afterwards we consoled ourselves with a drink

The next day she came to my place; all very simple

How very amusing

That sort of thing happens every day

How's it going?

I mean, are you satisfied?

Yes, quite... no problems, anyway

Now I understand why

You haven't instilled in her an unequivocal sense of sin

That's true

She's a good kid

We've been married eleven years, you know; we have a son

So she told me

Another drink?

Yes, thanks

You're lucky...

to have such an understanding

I married a bitch

It was awful

I can imagine

You know what I like most about Heléne? Her gentleness

She doesn't look as though she would be...

but she's gentle and tender

It's very nice

You live outside Paris?

Yes, near Versailles

Isn't it a nuisance, coming in every day?

You get used to it

I'll tell you something you may not know

It's a nightmare for Helene... I assure you it is...

a girl like that living in the country

- She wanted to - Did she? She told me you did

Do you often talk about me?

Very little... the circumstances don't encourage it

I think you should move to Paris, anyway, or here

Neuilly is almost the country

How many rooms have you?

It's not very big; there's the living-room...

a small bedroom, a really fine bathroom

Then there's a kitchen, cupboards, closets

Like to see it?

Thank you; then I can imagine it better

A little perverse, aren't you?

No, merely entertained

This is the bedroom

It isn't exactly huge

Frankly, I find Helene very agreeable, but don't imagine...

I'm in love with her

I don't fall in love very easily

What are you looking at?

You recognize it?

Helene gave it to me

She said you'd forgotten its existence

Why did she give it to you?

I haven't the faintest idea

Probably because she wanted to. Why did you give it to her?

It was for our third anniversary; we were living in Paris then

Did you go to a lot of trouble?

She chose it herself

Come this way

I can't take any more

I'm sorry, I don't feel too good

What's wrong?

I feel dizzy

It's the whisky; perhaps you're not used to it

It will pass

Like an aspirin?

- You look awful - Yes, I know

Why did you slow down?

Let's simply exchange addresses

I saw you; you were going too fast

Go take a jump!

l'm fully insured; just give me your address

Not on your life; I got screwed last time

Look here, your boot's stuck

lt's buckled, that's all

I'm taking full details; I'm not going to be out of pocket, like last time

What a pity you didn't get here in time; they ate like ogres

I couldn't, and I got mixed up in a stupid accident

Really? You do look pale; would you like a drink?

I'll get myself a little whisky

Madame Thomas's son Antoine is Michel's best friend; he's adorable

Not always, and he doesn't work nearly as hard as your boy

Don't worry, it'll probably be a different story in a year or two

Is my husband still here?

What a pleasant surprise

It's at least a week since we met

- Can you take me home? - Of course, darling

Did you have a good day?

Yes, but a tiring one; I'm completely exhausted

We can leave; I've finished

You're late, daddy

I'll only be a minute; wait and I'll give you a lift

lt's onlyjust up the road

- No egg? - I'll just drink the tea, thanks

- How's the head? - Better

Not going into Paris, I suppose?

No, I'll stay here and take it easy

That'll do you no harm

Don't you want any toast?

I can't eat when you're unwell

I need some money

Come up and I'll give you some

- I'll do calves' liver for lunch -As you like; I'm not hungry

Calves' liver is good for the health and it's filling, too

All right, calves' liver

Two gentlemen are here to see you

To see me? What do they want?

They're from the police

From the police? But why?

I don't know

I told them I'd tell you

Say I'll be down

Forgive us for disturbing you; we're police officers Duval and Gobet

I'm sorry to receive you like this, but I'm unwell, I wasn't going out

I'm all the sorrier to disturb you, but we'll be as brief as possible

Not to beat about the bush: do you know someone called Victor Pegala?

Well, I know him slightly. Why do you ask?

- Do you know where he is? - No, I don't

At home, I suppose

You know his address?

It's in Neuilly, isn't it?

We found your name, address and telephone number, among others...

in Monsieur Pegala's address book

lt's routine; we're asking everyone whose name is in the book...

if they know where Monsieur Pegala is

I don't understand; has he done something wrong?

He arranged to meet his ex-wife the day before yesterday to pay alimony...

and discuss the children's holidays; he didn't turn up

Worried, the former Madame Pegala went to his house; nobody was there

She then tried to call him several times...

that evening and night; no reply

Do you know her?

Not at all

She seems a sensible lady; yesterday morning she came to see us

Anyway, I just want to ask you one or two questions

When did you last see Monsieur Pegala?

I couldn't tell you that

Yes, I understand

I'm sorry to have troubled you...

especially as you're unwell

Still, we are making progress, slowly

Anyhow, I won't keep you

If you hear anything - I don't suppose you will, but one never knows...

I'd appreciate a call; just ask for officer Duval...

or Gobet

Do you think something's happened to him?

This is a routine enquiry, but it could be there's a murder involved

But I'm told I always look on the black side of things

Sorry again to have troubled you

- Is it coming on? - I can't find that piece

How are you?

Better now; would you like a drink?

I had a curious visit this afternoon: the police

Nothing important, but...

- What was it about? - A vague acquaintance has vanished

No one you know; Victor Pegala

He's a writer; I can't even remember where I met him

Do you want a drink?

Why did they come to question you?

Because my name was in his address book

How compromising

I'll see about dinner

Will you help me?

Why can't we find that piece?

I don't know

I've tried them all; maybe it's missing

That's enough; all you can talk about is that puzzle

We must talk about something

I don't know if we can keep Brigitte

Since the business with Paul, she's become impossible

He's a perfect nuisance that way, can't restrain himself

Well, he has plenty of other good points

Why should somebody suddenly disappear?

That man who disappeared... it's weird

I've no idea; I suppose these things happen

- Someone's disappeared? - Yes, the piece from your puzzle

But it's impossible! It isn't anywhere!

You hid it! I know you hid it, you bastard!

Watch your language, or I'll teach you a lesson!

Go to bed at once!

l'm fed up with this puzzle!

You're crazy! I hate you both!

- Who's that? - I don't know

It's the two gentlemen from this afternoon

Show them in

We're sorry to disturb you again and at such an hour

I don't know what to say. This is my husband

My son, who was going to bed

I found myself obliged to return because of certain obscurities...

which perhaps your husband may be able to shed light on

Do you know Monsieur Pegala?

My wife told me about your visit. No, I don't know him

I must ask you to try to remember, Madame...

where you met Monsieur Pegala

I've already told you... I don't remember

Try to think

I don't know

A publisher's reception

Which one?

I don't know... Julliard

I don't really know; how do you expect me to remember?

I realize it must be very difficult

Were you at this reception, sir?

I think so, yes

So perhaps you met Monsieur Pegala

- The name means nothing to me - Perhaps the face?

l have a photograph

I don't recognize the face

But this is the man you know?

And you never visited him?

| only knew him slightly; I can't think why he noted my address

Perhaps you were his type

Perhaps

I don't want to seem impatient, Inspector...

but you will understand that, however justified...

this sort of interrogation is unpleasant

I don't mean to be obstructive, but it's nearly ten

You are quite right to remind me

Disappearances like this are always troublesome

So I try digging for clues rather at random

You never went to Neuilly, did you?

- How do you mean, Neuilly? - To Monsieur Pegala's place

I don't know him or where he lives; I know nothing

Yes, I know you know nothing

It doesn't make things any easier for me

I'm sorry, but what do you expect me to do about it?

Well, I won't trouble you any longer

I know you're only doing your job

And this sort of affair is the worst part of the job, believe me

I hope I won't have to trouble you again, but I'm afraid I can't promise

Come, l've repaired the damage

Forgive me?

Victor Pegala, 27 rue de Bois de Boulogne

It's those two men again

I'll see what they want

I love you

I'm crazy about you
