Original subtitles

Go away! Are you mad?

It's not Gurn that just died.

If his face didn't turn pale, it was because of the make-up.

Make-up used by actors.

Fant�mas escaped.

He put an innocent on the guillotine.

Yes, I'm positive.

Fant�mas is alive.

So, Jos�phine?

Always mated with Mr. Lupart?

It's a long story. And it's not like it will be ending soon.

Well, one never knows. If one day you get tired of him...

Did you have a good look at yourself?

If I quit Lupart, it will be to go with a respectable and fortunate man.

Respectability, mariage...

Exactly, family life.

Forget about it.

Come on!

Hey, a raid!

- What's happening to you, Lupart? - You're gonna get it.

Gentlemen,

thank you for escorting me here.

Let me buy you a drink.

Thank you but we're on duty.

Yeah!

So, fellows,

just as I'm walking the street, hands in the pockets,

I'm taken in a raid.

Gently, I turn around towards two cops on guard.

And I ask them to give me an escort. I told them I was afraid.

Hey you, give me pen and paper!

And the drinks are on me.

I'm standing treat!

I'm happy, I've found a needle in a heystack.

- How's that? - You're too curious.

You have a nice hand-writing, You're gonna use it.

Here. Right, like that.

Well, let's go: "Mister".

"Mister,

"you probably know I'm the lover of a man named Lupart."

Yeah...

"I don't hide it, I'm proud of it. So, Lupart,

"he's on a dirty trick."

- What's the matter with you? - Don't bother, write.

It's gonna bring you trouble. I don't understand.

I hope so.

It's real, that dirty trick?

It's none of your business, go on. "I know that

"Mr. Lupart

"will be tomorrow evening

"at 22 PM, at 2, Villa de la R�union

"to burglarize Dr. Chalek' safe.

"The safe is located on the first floor.

"In the right corner of the study.

"It could be only a robbery, but it looks like

"there will be more nastiness, involving a woman.

"A word to the wise, your respectful servant,

"Jos�phine Rameau."

Good. Wait... yeah.

Now, we're sending this to Mr. Juve,

Detective Inspector, Police Headquarters, Paris.

This Lupart, he almost killed an agent, last year, didn't he?

He's the author of a few armed burglaries.

You're precise like a police record.

Why giving so much credit

to a prostitute's denunciations?

Without prostitute's denunciations

police force wouldn't get results.

Night will fall in one hour, let's go.

The fish is ready to take bait.

We should have wait for him in the study.

Surely not.

If we got inside an empty house it would be considered house breaking.

While now, we're following a burglar.

What now?

He should be here.

He must be busy downstairs.

Where is Lupart?

Who is he? Dr. Chalek.

We should tell him who we are. He could be attacked at any time.

What's the matter, boss?

What do you mean?

You're back from Villa de la R�union, aren't you?

Where do you come from? From Headquarters?

No. 16th district's precinct.

How do you know we were at Villa de la R�union?

Seeing you here after that case.

What case? I don't know anything about it!

A while ago, the telephone rang.

A woman shouting: "Help me, I'm being murdered!" Then, nothing.

Communication broke down.

Did you investigate?

Yes, phone number is Mozart 49 31. Villa de la R�union, Dr. Chalek.

I dialed the number, nobody answered.

Murder, without a doubt!

We're just out of the villa but we saw nothing.

Inspector Henry, turn around and watch over the back door.

Yes?

Police.

Murderers have invaded your house, Doctor.

What?

I'm saying that murderers are hiding in your house.

An anonymous tip on the telephone.

You said "murderers"?

- Yes. - I'm living alone.

It's a flabbergasting story,

but me have to meticulously visit your villa.

Do as you wish.

Come in. I have nothing to hide.

Inspector.

Yes?

But...

Oh...

My god, that's horrible.

Thief is crime's motive.

But how this woman could have been killed?

It looks like she's been crushed.

They took everything. I'm ruined!

Calm down.

Do you understand how all of this happened?

What? I'm hard of hearing.

Do you understand how all of this happened?

No, Inspector, I don't.

Who is this woman?

I don't know. A friend, maybe a lover?

What?

I say "maybe a lover". Don't say no.

You're accusing me? On my word, you're crazy!

I've been robbed and I have never seen this woman before.

- A client, then? - I'm not practicing in Paris.

That woman did not get inside your house

by way of the Holy Spirit.

Have a good look at her face.

It's been disfigured.

Unrecognizable.

That's what I figured.

His dirty deed done, the murderer burned her face with pitch.

To make it look unrecognizable.

But...

How and when could he commit murder?

We were here 30 mn ago. To open the safe alone,

it requires one hour's work.

It could be a setting.

Doctor, it's time to confess.

Confess what?

You've been lying to us for too long now.

How dare you protesting of your innocence?

Your defence does not hold.

Michel...

It's impossible that he didn't hear the noise.

Above all the screams of the victim.

We arrest him, don't we?

No.

Doctor?

Doctor!

In your opinion, how long since the time of death?

He says the truth, he heard nothing.

Well,

I would say two or three hours ago.

Doctor, you're staying here this morning.

Wait here till anthropometric department

take their pictures and carry the body away.

What I can't figure

is the phone call at the precinct.

There's two sides of the coin.

If the victim called up,

she could not die so early in the night.

Or it's somebody else. And then...

That phone call could not have been made by the murdered woman.

Her corpse was already cold.

Another person made the phone call.

Someone whose interest was to have the body discovered as quickly as possible.

He was disturbed when we came back.

He brought the corpse when we were absent.

He also brought a safe already forced,

and substituted it to the safe we saw first.

And the blood on the carpet?

He would have substituted it too.

He just had to kill the victim

on a carpet identical to the Doctor's carpet.

And Lupart, amongst these facts, what of him?

And why the setting?

Huh?

There are mysteries in this case worthy of Fant�mas.

Where is Jos�phine?

Where is Jos�phine? Where is Jos�phine!

I went to her home, she wasn't there.

Go to Lariboisi�re Hospital.

She came to have dinner yesterday evening, she waited for you.

Finally, she ate stewed beef with carrots.

Then she felt faint and she had to to be lied down.

Then, I called the Hospital.

You're poisoning

your customers?

Not at all, Mr. Lupart.

She was served prime meat.

Jos�phine has a fragile stomach, that's all.

She probably got a germ.

Pierrette went to see her, this morning. Tell him.

Well... Jos�phine is occupying bed number 24 in the main room,

and she's still very weak.

Doctors thought at first she was pregnant.

Like it wasn't, they decided to keep her...

three or four days. Hospial?

For an indigestion? I don't like the fuss she's making.

"La Capitale"! A mysterious crime

at Villa de la R�union!

- Here, young man. - Thanks.

- Give me a pen. - At once, Me. Lupart.

I'm going to write a letter, you'll carry it to Jos�phine.

As you wish, Mr. Lupart.

Here is Mr. Director.

Mr. Juve, you could have commissioned an assistant.

Everything concerning Lupart is of personal interest to me.

Then you shall know that yesterday evening

we've received, in Dr. Patel service, a patient, Jos�phine Rameau,

suffering from stomach upset following the ingestion

of bad food.

- Is that the Doctor's diagnostic?? - Exactly.

What's so suspicious about it?

The fact that the young woman received a letter, thirty minutes ago.

She read it. And suddenly, she had a cry of terror.

Nurses rushed to her bed,

she declared she had to leave the Hospital and get home at once.

I calmed her down, I told her it was imprudent to go now.

I somehow gained her faith,

and she entrusted me with the letter.

"Jos�phine, you're not more ill than I'm sick.

"So, either you come home at once

"either you'll get shot twice, tomorrow at 3.

"Or my name is not Lupart anymore.

"I hope the lesson will serve you well"

"Signed: Lupart."

She's convinced that he's going to kill her.

She decided to leave?

Surely not. I told her that nobody could enter here easily,

that I would give orders to watch over vistors,

and that I would protect her personaly. She stayed then?

She barely can stand on her feet. She tried to get up,

but she felt faint.

What is her lover reproaching her?

She gave indications on him to the police.

She must go to another Hospital.

No, I would lost my only chance of catching Lupart.

I'm going to visit Dr Patel service.

There is an interesting case.

You will all study it carefully.

Miller, diagnostic?

Mr, acknowledging the pain intenseness

and the urine colouring, it could only be stomach ulcer.

Moron.

Gentlemen,

this patient has, in favor of...

You, Doctor?

Inspector. What are you doing here? You came to see me?

Not at all. I hardly knew you were practicing here.

I've been authorized to follow Pr Patel's courses.

I came to quench my curiosity. I'm fond of the wonders of medecine.

I want to say thank you for the other day.

The other Inspector thought me guilty, didn't he?

Do you have a lead?

No, none.

None.

Do you know who is the murdered woman?

At the moment, we're performing a post mortem examination on her.

Isn't there something in her clothes that could give you insight?

No, and the body has been crushed.

I have to go. Of course, I'm staying at your disposal.

Miss.

Miss Jos�phine Rameau, please.

Far end of the room, behind the screen.

By the way, do you know Dr. Chalek?

Yes, sure.

Upon what grounds is he here?

I don't know.

He's a foreign Doctor. He's Czech, I believe.

Thank you.

So, everybody is in place.

Two Inspectors on behalf of Jos�phine.

Don't kid ourselves: Lupart will be on time, I know him.

- My gown. - Yes, there it is.

Thank you, Mr. Director.

It's almost 3, visiting time is shortened up.

Families are being asked to leave the Hospital.

Lupart won't come.

He said 3 PM, there is 50 seconds left.

He wouldn't dare to take such a risk.

Are you kidding? He already dared so much more.

When the Saint-Ouen Express left the rails, he was onboard.

The Inspectors following him were found dead.

We couldn't prove he was guilty.

Nor the contrary.

Michel, the exits!

Of course, I didn't see him. Call the duty Doctor!

So, Doctor?

She only fainted.

Inspector, your report.

- We saw no-one. And you, Inspector? - Like you, I saw nothing.

Then...

If one unit in a single line the bullet impact

and continue the line,

one could find the position of the shooter.

Dr. Chalek?

Inspector, if one take account of your deduction,

the shot was fired from the door leading to the intern's closet.

And where were you?

In the operating theatre with Patel.

Come with me.

Why did you leave the operating theatre?

I got out to take a breath.

I don't know if you already see an amputation,

it's rather distressing.

The bullet was shot from here, if not it would have pierced the screen.

You see, I was right.

There are three bullets left.

Why your men did not found the murderer?

And over there, what is it?

Here, we have...

the laboratory.

Did you see someone? No.

Except Dr. Chalek.

You don't look like Lupart,

and then you were his first victim.

All this is incomprehensible.

And here, the operating theatre.

The door!

Doctor.

Is it really blood?

Undisputably.

I understand what happened.

The murderer hadn't enough time to get a sure shot.

To get a better target, he stretched his forefinger along the cannon.

As if he designated his victim.

Firing out of the gun, the bullet barked his finger.

If we find a person with a serious wound on his finger

- he could be the culprit. - Exactly.

And since the Hospital is locked up since 3, he couldn't escape.

Your hands, please.

Here's your pass. It can get you out of the Hospital.

You will show it at every demand.

Next!

How is it going?

We've seen exactly 207 people but no suspect in sight.

Good, carry on.

Do you think the murderer ingenuous enough to abide by the test?

No, but we sometimes have to proceed in the negative.

When we have ruled out the innocents,

we'll pass to the acting stage.

I will gather all my men,

and we'll comb the rooms,

the roofs, the attics.

To fasten up, I will form groups.

Inspector Juve!

It's the same rule of conduct as for a raid. Exactly.

Your pass.

But it's Dr Chalek.

Orders are strict. Everyone going out has to sign the registry.

Maurice, I don't have much time. Where can I get a pass?

They've been delivered during the afternoon, didn't they tell you?

Go ask for one to Mr. Juve himself.

Mr. Juve?

Mr. Juve, yes. I'm sorry, Doctor.

It's not your fault.

- Guard this door. - Yes, boss.

Ang�lique, please.

Put this in my office.

Mr, Pr Tardon is operating, entrance is prohibited.

I'm sorry.

Do I need to take out my bandage? I have my pass with me.

When I was young, I was an expert marksman!

I believe you on your word.

- What's behind this door? - You want to know about everything.

It was yesterday or past yesterday, I believe.

I'm like you, I like bow ties,

I bought the same but in blue.

Does the mortuary

have another access apart the one we used?

No, no other access.

Well, no need to catch a cold staying here then.

So?

Nothing, we scrupulously searched every floor.

I'm going to Headquarters. Keep up with our plan of action.

He probably slipped out of our hands.

Gentlemen, keep on your work.

Good evening, Maurice.

Doctor!

You're leaving late, tonight.

I had to help at the emergency ward.

Good night.

Did you obtain your pass, then?

I couldn't find the time to run after Inspector Juve.

Then, you have to sign the registry.

Yes, I was given strict orders.

A pass or a signature.

The registry?

Sign, if you please.

I'm in a great hurry. While I sign,

could you go and get me a cab, please?

At your service, Doctor.

Your taxi is there, Doctor.

Mr, are you free to go?

Yes, Madam.

My Lupart...

- Follow that car! - Where are we going?

And don't get us noticed!

Weren't you afraid in your little bed?

I know you're a first class marksman.

I made it look like I fainted.

And if it wasn't me shooting at you?

I would have been scared to death!

Inspector Juve must be completely out of his mind.

We got him completely mystified.

What does it mean, "mystified"?

It means to have his fun at the expense of them suckers.

High class people talk like that.

Say you, by any chance...

You wouldn't cheat on me with a lady?

What are you making up your mind at?

Yeah...

Are we near that hideout of yours?

Four days at the Hospital, I need some...

Huh?

- Are you free? - I already have a client in charge.

I'll discharge him for you!

And where am I going now?

You didn't know where to go at first. Let's go to heaven!

Blood on the registry, it's a confession.

With this, you can botch up a sensational article for tomorrow.

Let's sum up.

Jos�phine is Lupart's lover.

Lupart know Chalek by sight.

And the murder took place at Chalek's home.

Lupart and Chalek are accomplices.

And... if Lupart and Chalek were the same man?

And if that man was Fant�mas?

You're seeing Fant�mas everywhere.

When you see one, you see the other.

But they disappeared both of them.

Mr the examining magistrate,

we have two characters in front of us.

Dr Chalek, man of the world, a cultured person,

who shot at Jos�phine.

On the other side,

Lupart, who have been in the news more than once.

Do they know each other?

Mr. Professor.

What did you learn while examining the corpse?

I was astonished to find all blood vessels exploded.

Heart, nerves, arteries.

Even alveoli of the lungs.

How is it possible?

There's more: even bones are broken.

Fragmented.

It's unbelievable.

It looks like someone

put the body through the mill.

I don't understand how the murderer proceeded.

Did you have a look to the clothes?

No, I'm a forensic pathologist, not a rag-and-bone man.

These clothes, can we take a look at them?

I brought them too.

No name tab.

No tradesmen indicia.

What are you looking for exactly?

"I've been Gurn's lover.

"If you found out this letter, it means that Fant�mas has killed me.

"I am Lady Beltham.

"I know Fant�mas ghastly secret,

"I've been his submitted

and enamoured lover. One day, I'm sure,

"he will get rid of me.

"That's why I wrote this confession.

"Lupart and Dr Chalek, and lots of other names,

"they're the same man.

"The same man that killed my husband, Lord Beltham.

"But can we call 'man'

"the incarnate evil that constitutes Fant�mas?

"Now, and my conscience will be at ease when it is written:

"Gurn is Fant�mas."

"Signed: Lady Beltham."

Fant�mas!

You see that he's real! Even Lady Beltham was positive about it.

How na�ve!

She's like you.

She believed the prince of darkness was by her side.

And what does it mean, Fant�mas? A family name, a first name?

Boss, I'm happy to find you here.

We've received this letter at the Headquarters.

Urgent message from Fandor.

"Followed Jos�phine as agreed.

"She rejoined Lupart. Cannot give details.

"Rendez-vous at Bercy warehouse,

"in front of Zemer's. Come alone. Best wishes, Fandor."

Business doesn't let you breath one minute, Inspector!

Not everyone can have it safe in his office all his life.

Rhum.

You found something? I got your message.

- Which message? - This one, it's yours, no?

I've received the same, s�gned by you.

- Did you recognize him? - Dr Chalek.

Him and Lupart are one.

Chalek is not alone. Fant�mas is in front of us.

What?

Come over there!

Let's get inside.

Fandor, I forgot: the murdered woman was Lady Beltham.

If I won my last boxing match in New-York,

it's because of you.

While boxing, I thought:

"Come on, hit! Hit for her!"

Oh, Dixon. I missed you so much.

You're the woman I need.

You're so graceful, so parisienne.

I've already won a lot of money.

I will win a lot more for my next fight in Rome.

At last, I've talked to my parents.

They agree to our marriage.

- I didn't say yes yet. - Don't say no.

I've rented a big apartment at 15ter, Barbet-de-Jouy St.

For you.

I'm leaving tonight to Rome.

Do you like children, Dixon?

Yes! And we will have a dozen!

Well, Dixon, your turn.

But... "good luck", huh?

It was going well, but it won't last.

I swear, I did not sleep with him.

Maybe, but it won't last.

I can see other men, can't I? He wants to marry me, him.

Respectability rushed to your head.

No-one leaves Lupart, it's him leaving the others.

Who's talking about leaving? I'm still your woman.

Yeah, we'll see. Let it go, for now.

Listen to me. You're going to obey without a word.

All you wish. I will do all you wish.

Thanks, Charles.

I'm going, Mr.

- Mr. Inspector is here? - What's the purpose of your visit?

How dare you, Miss!

Mr. Juve. I'm sorry to disturb you at home.

I can give you the means of arresting Lupart.

Is that so?

- Mr... - No, Charles, leave us alone.

I think you already met.

Good evening, Mr. Fandor.

Sit down.

So?

You must swear you won't repeat what I'm going to tell.

Because at the Hospital, Lupart was in the know.

It wasn't me, I give you my word.

I never snitch on my informers.

Without them, police would be useless Then?

He will be tomorrow afternoon in Nogent.

In Nogent?

- What business does he have there? - He's up to no good.

But I can't get more precise.

You will find him at 7, Impasse des Charmilles, at 2 PM.

Someone pulled your leg, Jos�phine.

Fandor, could you imagine Lupart on a bad

trick in the middle of the afternoon?

No. And first, which trick?

I think it may be a robbery.

They will be a small group in front of a small hotel

where the owners will be absent. Some of them will give the change

if there's a problem, the others will empy the house.

When "working",

Lupart always wears a black mask.

It would be a way for you to recognize him.

Good, well then...

Maybe if we have nothing better to do tomorrow

we'll have a walk in Nogent.

I hope it's not another of Lupard's jokes.

In this case, the joke would be on me.

You know, the other day, about the cab, I was really sorry for you.

But what could I do?

I'm not angry at you, it's not your fault.

Lupart doesn't seem to appreciate you at all.

It looks like he really hates you.

Be careful, tomorrow.

Well, I'm gone.

Jos�phine.

Yes, Mr. Inspector?

Jos�phine, I...

No, nothing.

Good bye.

You're a king.

A king?

Punctuality is a king's privilege.

You came without your men?

Yes, too much paper work.

Stop, Fant�mas!

It's a disaster!

I's an abomination!

You are nobodies, You stink!

You stink! French actors...

are the worst in the world!

Bravo, you're a wonderful and promising actor, but you carreer won't last long."

Pardon me, Mrs, Mr. Roblin?

The Cavalry officer? 4th to the right.

Thank you, Mrs.

- Mr. Fandor? - Himself.

Come in, young man. And close the door.

Come in, idiot, don't be shy!

Juve!

It's incredible, you're unrecognizable.

- You slept there? - Admit that I'm good at disguise.

It's even a little bit disturbing. You're like Fant�mas.

Always someone else, never yourself.

- You'd like to be more like him. - No, I hate him.

I don't think you have so much esteem for yourself neither.

Are you serious or what?

I'm kidding. But why putting on an act like this?

I've followed Jos�phine.

And I've learned that an american boxer had fell in love with her.

To the point that, hear this, she left Lupart.

Ouch, there will be blood.

She came to live with him. Come have a look there.

You see.

Now,

she lives in front of us.

In one of those apartments.

- You mean, she's at home, now? - Yes, and...

she's wearing a lovely n�glig�.

Admit she striked you in the eye, that little Jos�phine.

I must say she's one of those rare women...

It's Inspector Michel.

So, Michel, what's new?

Hey, hello, Fandor, you're here?

- I'm going down, you come? - Good bye, Mr. Roblin.

Beware of your rheumatism.

Jos�phine!

The nurse sister gave him first aid.

The bullet has been extracted from his shoulder.

But the clavicle is broken and has to be plastered.

An ambulance will carry him to the Hospital.

And for the mother superior, my sister?

I will ask and see if she can receive you.

Here he is.

Thank you for your watchfulness.

How do you feel?

It's not often that I get a part.

I'm really unlucky.

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

As soon as my article is written you will be famous.

Effectively.

Inspector Juve is sorry.

He shows his deepest regrets. There was a mistake.

I know, I've been informed.

Juve couldn't come in person.

Chief of Police is stark raving mad.

He wants to put him in jail for assault and battery.

It would be too unjust.

You know, he's not in the papers of the Chief Commissioner.

He has the reputation of an odd man with crazy ideas.

What can I do for you?

Would it be possible, a little snapshot on "La Capitale" 's front page?

It's already done!

Thanks a lot.

Mother Superior is too busy to receive you.

I...

This money is a small gift

for the aid you gave to our wounded man.

Pray St C�me, patron saint for Doctors.

It was him guiding our sister nurse's hand.

And the murderer, what have you done with him?

The murderer?

He's more a victim than a murderer.

Then, I will pray St Yves, patron saint for lawyers.

What patron saint should I pray, for hunting villains?

You could try St Georges.

Patron saint for warriors.

I'm sorry. It's vespers time.

Lady Beltham...

Hum.

I'm sorry, my sister. Could I make a phone call?

Of course, Mr.

Give me Nogent's precinct, thank you.

Could you leave me alone for a moment?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr.

I would like to talk to Inspector Juve.

Hello, Juve? It's me.

Lady Beltham is not dead.

I've seen her just now.

I'm staying at the Sainte-Clotilde convent,

she's the mother superior.

The gentlemen would like to visit?

I am Mr. Ambiel, he's my nephew.

- You've received my message? - I was waiting for you, follow me.

The gentlemen will be indulgent regarding the state of the house.

The house has been deserted for a very long while.

Whom exactly does it belong to?

To Lady Beltham, Mr. Get up, we'll begin on 3rd floor.

She does not live here?

She hasn't lived here for two years.

In actual fact, since the death of her husband.

I don't know if you remember,

it made the news for a long time, then.

- Lord Beltham has been murdered. - Oh yes, I vaguely remember.

I think it was Inspector Juve who got the murderer arrested.

He even came here, one evening.

I know him well, I was just at his side.

I like this house very much.

Yes, but it would need a good deal of repair work.

Here's Lady Beltham's room.

And... furniture is sold with the house?

Madam sells the whole.

Ah yes...

One can see it was the last room where one lived.

What gives you that impression?

There's seldom dust in here.

Look at this small secretaire. There's a trace here.

The blotting pad has been dispaced.

Someone wrote here not long ago.

What's with you?

Well, gentlemen, I would prefer that we leave at once.

This house...

is haunted.

Really!

Have you seen ghosts?

There's nothing funny about it. Instead of buying this hotel...

You're not very good at serving your lady boss interests.

It's more like... Spirits are visiting the house.

Spirits? Did you see them?

For nothing in the world I would!

When they come, I close myself in my pavilion.

How do you know

they're visiting, then? Ghosts don't exist.

At first, I thought they were burglars.

But the following day, I didn't notice any missing item.

And then... there were bread crumbles on the floor.

Bread crumbles?

Your spirits come here to have dinner?

What do you make of that, my nephew?

Probably a pet carrying his food. A rat.

No, I have proofs.

Last tuesday, I've drawn a chalk circle around this chair's feet.

And when I came back wednesday

the chair had been moved.

Why spirits would do such a thing?

I've heard chain noises.

My uncle, do you intend to buy this house?

Yes, and since it's haunted it will be less expensive.

The gentleman is very brave.

I'm more worried with those infiltrations than by your spirits.

There's no more electricity in the cellar.

All get ruined. There's no maintenance...

By the way, I have yet to see the meter.

Lady Beltham made it installed in the woodshed, there.

Before that, it was in a closet in the lobby.

One night, there was a short-fuse, and a fire start.

Lady Beltham has been so afraid that she made it displaced outside.

Now, it is cut off.

This heat device is completely busted off..

Does it work?

Yes.

It must be said that last year we had a flood.

The Seine river overflowed.

And the tank at the same time.

At last, rust ate it all.

Say, the pipes are in poor condition.

It's not very expensive to fix.

If you want to take a look inside.

The pipes that rise to the floors are in perfect condition.

This one is huge.

It goes in the room of Madame, which was very chilly.

This pipe has an unusual diameter.

A man could get through.

- Tired? - No, less than ever.

We have them.

- Fant�mas and Lady Beltham? - Her, him or both of them.

You see,

I picked up from Lady Beltham's secretaire

this half sheet I have torn.

So, if a hand recently relied on it,

it should be possible to see prints.

You'll see.

This proves that Lady Beltham is still coming in her hotel.

Lady Beltham, Lady Beltham...

Someone's coming, we don't know who.

It's a man's hand.

Fant�mas' hand? We will be there for the next rendez-vous.

I want to leave.

I've waited for you, last tuesday.

I was there.

But I did not want to come into the house.

How did you find me?

Nothing is impossible for Fant�mas.

Why did you disappear?

Remorse to have been your accomplice

in the murder of my husband.

Nuns offered me protection,

I gratefully accepted.

You wrote this overhelming confession for me.

You were afraid that I kill you?

Yes, after all, I knew too much.

You forget the love I have for you, Lady Beltham.

The love I have for you, my darling.

It was you who killed the woman found

- in Dr Chalek's Villa? - No.

Who then?

An executioner.

A thing that lives, that obeys me,

but does not think.

To put my confession

on the corpse of that poor woman,

it was like denouncing yourself.

It is a luxury I offered myself.

Sometimes I have to give an advantage to this poor Juve.

To fill his disability.

I love you.

Let's leave this country.

Let's forget Fant�mas.

I'll let you know soon.

Time to plan our trip. See you very soon, my love.

Shoot him when when he is on the level.

No. A police officer must submit the culprits to justice. Not kill them.

I have not enough men, he would escape me.

In few days, he will rejoin Lady Beltham at the convent.

- And that day... - You leave him an encumbrance?

Did you hear him? How vain he is...

Who does he think he is?

Fant�mas.

But what's going on?

It came from the chapel.

It's another revolution! I've already seen this!

Silence! Calm down!

Mother!

Mother, mother!

Silence.

I've seen the devil, he's in the chapel.

This is terrible, he's huge!

And black all over... We must prevent the priest!

Calm down. Come on, sisters.

Be strong. God won't let you down.

- Don't go in there, Mother! - I'm coming with you.

I'm going alone.

Accompanied by God.

Let nobody enter in the chapel.

Whatever happens.

You're going to leave the convent immediately.

A car is waiting for you.

The driver will lead you to a seaport

where you will take a ship bound for Australia.

Once in Australia, you'll wait for my arrival.

I do not want to leave the convent.

You were ready to follow me.

You had to take me immediately.

I had time to think.

I never want to leave.

You'll leave!

And never forget:

You've taken a vow of obedience to me at first.

Ha, too late!

Gather your men!

Michel?

I was waiting.

What?

A racing car? Sixty horses?

Do nothing, I'm coming. Notify Fandor.

- Everything is in place? - Yes.

Give the signal.

Go, go, quick!

Inspector Raymond!

Take the other side.

It's clear!

Juve! Juve! He's here!

He didn't get out?

No, I could not have missed him.

Good, carry on.

There is no secret issues?

He could not have vanished.

What?

I heard someone breathing.

He's in there.

Fire off your gun.

No, I'd rather have him alive.

Police Chief would say that I've killed another innocent.

You understand?

Let's pick him up in Lady Beltham's room.

I hear him.

- Am I going? - Yes, be careful.

What? What's going on?

Take this.

Thanks.

You allright?

I did not think Fantomas would adopt this unusual form.

I understand who crushed the body and forced Jos�phine to jump.

I saw Fantomas leave a suitcase at her home.

- A trained snake? - Yes.

He crushed to death the people designated by Fant�mas,

and then came back like a dog.

Normally, it's the snakes who hypnotize.

Good.

Quick, hammers, picks!

Knock it, he is probably in there.

Quick! There he is!

Beware!

Quick, go on!

For god's sake! Don't let him run!

Block the exits!

Don't let him run! Go on.

Quick!

Juve!

Juve!
