Have you been very wicked?

talking.

>> Oh, yes, father.

come in.

>> The minister's secretary, Mr. Moair,

>> if the director can spare me a moment of

his time. The bank robbery at Alvois.

>> Yes. The minister is very angry. Alwa is

in his constituency.

>> He's also a director of the bank.

>> The loss of people's money can mean the

loss of votes. A scandal of this kind is

extremely serious.

>> To my department, this is a robbery. Not

boats, not a scandal, just a robbery.

>> There have been so many robberies that

your department begins to look foolish,

Mr. May. The minister insists that you

find the culprit.

>> Well, I know the culprit. Have you

arrested him?

>> Not yet.

>> When? Perhaps never. I know that he did

it, but I don't know how he did it. How?

How? The building was broken into.

>> No, he was already there when they

closed the bank for the night. The safe

was forced. Not forced. Opened. This man

can open any safe in the world.

>> Yes. And drive away in a car and vanish

under the notice of your foolish police.

>> So foolish that they took the number of

the car.

>> Oh,

it belongs to your minister, Miss.

>> Well, it was stolen.

>> Yes. is from the house of members san of

your minister in his own constituency

too. It's a scandal, don't you agree?

>> What should I tell the minister?

>> What I told you?

>> And the thief?

>> I'm having a drink with him this

evening.

[music]

Good evening.

>> Ah, the peaceful. How are you? Won't you

join me?

>> Thank you. I have something.

>> When did you get back to Paris?

>> Have I been away?

>> Yes. Toa,

>> I must say. [music] I came back through

Awa.

>> Why?

>> It's a very interesting town. Should go

there sometime.

How did you get into that bank, Philip?

>> Every time a safe is open, do you think

I did it? Why?

>> You have a good alibi, Philip. Oh,

>> of course.

>> How many times have I arrested you?

>> Five, 10.

>> And still you go on.

>> You know that absand is a vicious drink.

It can blind you, but you still drink

it.

>> And I'm not blind. How many times have

you convicted me? Three.

>> Perhaps this will be the fourth. You

>> take me in this time, you'll make a fool

of yourself, my

>> Why?

>> At what time did the bank's alarm go?

>> You know the time.

>> Yes. 8:00. I know. Because I was in Awa.

>> Where?

>> In the cathedral with my old friend,

Father Pier.

>> Every time in Alibaba,

>> except three.

>> I advise you to accept this one.

>> I do.

>> On my word alone. Thank you.

>> Now I checked myself. I went down there

yesterday.

>> Meline, you're late.

>> Sit down. My friend is just going.

>> Thank you.

This is Mimobar. He's the chief of

police. Aren't you impressed?

>> Good evening.

>> Good evening.

>> The traffic here is terrible. My driver

was hopelessly tied up just across the

big bridge.

>> Your province.

>> The accent still gives me away. How

awful.

>> Accents take [music] longer to change

than two days.

You have a malware.

>> Am I? Do you know many people there?

>> A few by name. I know your name too,

Mam. Madlin Sank.

Shall we go together to please

headquarters Sanchez?

>> What for?

>> I'm making inquiries about a robbery at

a bank at Alwa. But a car that was

reported missing and found near the

railway is certain fingerprints on the

wheel.

Sir, Philippe cannot help me. He was in

church at the time.

I

>> do not think it will help you either,

Mam.

>> I think he'll let you go to prison.

>> I warned you, Meline. I'm no good to

people.

>> It's time for us to go.

>> You didn't touch me.

There's nothing you can do to me.

>> I can hold you for questioning. Let me

tell you some of the answers.

>> You know nothing about me.

You grew up in a small town which you

hated. Tried to make money out of the

millary business and failed.

>> Then you met the minister who led him to

believe you'll be very friendly indeed.

>> Stop it.

>> But the minister was old and fat. Then

you met the handsome stranger from

Paris. Told you all the things you

wanted to hear. All the compliments, all

the lies.

>> Stop it.

>> Now you've seen that your Phipe doesn't

care for you if he has to choose between

his own safety and yours. He loves me

no matter what you tell me.

>> He's a well-bed dog who's turned savage.

>> Don't cry, Moselle. I've seen too many

people cry. Tears don't move me anymore.

Ah, so you have come home, Mr. Felong,

every day later and later. I promise

your mother to see you are well and

properly fed.

You come home tired like a sheep dog.

Wet to the skin. You eat at all hours.

>> What do I eat tonight? Booya.

>> Booya base. Every night you ask me that.

Once a month I get it.

>> Is tonight once a month?

>> I get tonight and I love it.

>> Ah, you love no one but work and making

work for others.

>> Till I retire, then I'll marry you. Then

you can cook what I like every day. Ah,

>> what do you want? How did you know where

I live?

>> I followed you. I have something to say

to you.

>> Yes, it's very provincial, isn't it?

Makes me feel at home and honest.

This is honest too. Here

>> No, I leave that at my office usually.

Mr. Philip Leiddok.

>> I'm not of the Leidda family.

>> You were.

>> I never argue about matters of fact.

>> A golden rule.

>> So shall I theorize.

You're a gentleman that you can't help.

You're a thief, but you can

a man from his upbringing and valid?

quite charming. When Miss

>> I came here to see you about Madmoisel

Sanas, but I've changed my mind.

>> Why?

>> I make it a rule never to talk when I've

been made angry.

>> Another golden rule.

>> For 3 years, I've been trying to send

you to prison, Mr. Philip.

>> I've been to prison

>> and we'll go again.

>> I think you like me and yet you hound me

as if you hated me.

>> You've rejected your place in the world

and I hate untidiness.

What do you intend to do about Mosques?

>> Open.

>> Good evening.

>> Ah, we are base. Only a Marcier can cook

it like that. Just the right amount of

several.

>> Msier is from Provos.

>> You think anyone from this ridiculous

city can understand food like that?

>> Wonderful.

The gentleman is dining here, Mr.

Shimobi.

>> I don't think you should leave just yet.

>> M sure has not been a guest before.

>> I have been a guest of your master in a

business sense, madame, but not here.

>> Ah, yes. The contact's been tampered

with.

You coming in or going out?

>> Neither. They just asked to see me.

>> And you were good enough to call.

>> And you?

>> Going out. You're Phipe, aren't you? You

did that bank job in Marseilles in 1909.

>> Did I?

>> Listen,

I'd like to do a job with you. Wouldn't

be like burglary at all.

>> You're a romantic. Don't bother me.

>> Romantic? What's that?

>> What is your name?

>> Louie. Jean Louie. Everybody knows me.

>> I don't yet.

With a man like this, Mark, you must

watch not only him, but yourself. Must

keep your temper as he does.

>> I always arrange to keep my temper.

>> I will test that arrangement now.

>> He's wait outside.

Sit down, Phillip.

>> We have an audience today.

>> My assistant, he's willing to profit by

my experience

>> Naturally,

>> there was a robbery at Vai last night.

>> Yeah.

>> Bearing all your trademarks.

>> Robbery is a profession, not a trade.

>> The same trademarks as a robbery at

Pontas, for which you convicted. As a

robbery at Paci,

>> of which I was acquitted. on a

technicality

as the robbery at Arwa

Sances is being held on a technicality.

>> Where were you last night, Philipe?

Well,

>> could I trouble either you or your

student for a cigarette?

>> Give me your alibi and I'll crack it.

>> For what hours?

>> Between midnight and 4:00 this morning.

>> You have the honor to be the head of our

very excellent police force.

>> Don't play the fool. and your police

force will furnish me with an alibi. I

was not within 100 miles of Versailles

last night. I was at Amian. Telephone

your police there and ask them now.

Please, a cigarette.

Give him one.

Give me a man.

Yes.

Yes, this is him.

>> Who?

Yes, Mr. Mubar at your service.

Quiet.

Just a moment, M. I have the particulars

here in my book. Yes. Yes, Mir.

paper.

>> I would like to speak to man alone.

I'm going to release you. Members,

>> you mean Philip has?

>> Nothing.

It's nothing is the right word. He's

made a fool of me again.

Another robbery, another alibi.

The papers writing about my holding

innocent people on suspicion.

I'm an ogre,

a Prussian.

I understand nothing.

The thoughts of men, games of little

children.

[music] I'm thinking aloud and detaining

you because you're free. [music]

Don't look for him. Hide from him. He'll

destroy you.

>> I love him.

>> Yes, perhaps. Does he love you? Can you

answer that with your head?

>> Who are you to talk about love? You have

no feelings. You're just a filing

cabinet, a pair of handcuffs, and you

are jealous of anyone who is not.

>> Yes, perhaps.

>> Once more, don't look for him. They're a

brave girl.

I think you can have almost anything you

want from the world. But if you choose

him,

he'll destroy you.

[bell]

>> Papers are still being rude to you.

>> Yes.

Well, you'll have to release this woman.

>> I've just done sir,

>> but not because of this.

>> You're going to try to pick up another

lead on the Alwir case, then?

>> No, I should retain my hold on the

present one.

>> So long as the rent is paid, the place

will be clean, and no one will care what

you do so long as you're quiet about it.

Thank you, Mary. I shan want you

anymore.

>> Of course. Good day, Madmoiselle. Miss

you.

I have been waiting here for you all day

by myself.

All the time I was in prison, I've

thought of this meeting with you.

>> I came when I could. Did you read this?

>> Yes, I had plenty of time to

>> Did Mo mention it?

>> Is that all you have to ask?

>> Did you tell him anything?

No. No. Phillip, please. Can't you see?

>> Nothing at all. You're quite sure?

>> I told him I was in love with you.

I am in love with you. Do you think I

could go through with all this if I

weren't? All the time I have been

frightened. I didn't know what they

would do to me. What do you Oh, Phillip,

please.

>> You've been very brave. Now you must be

sensible.

>> What do you mean? We did this job

together. We made a success of it.

You've got what you wanted. You've got

some money in the bank and you're in

Paris. It's quite safe. I never robbed

my own bank.

>> And And you and me,

>> if we stayed together, we'd become bored

with one another. Gradually,

pretending at first that we weren't, and

then not being able to pretend anymore.

Now, I admire you and you say you love

me. That's the best time to part.

Why don't you go then? You've learned

what you came here for.

I told him nothing. You're quite safe.

So, you can go.

One thing I've never thought was that

you cared nothing about me.

I must be as vain as you are.

He said that he would destroy me,

but I could more easily destroy you.

>> Of course. Good luck, Mel.

I stop here on my way to work.

One day she pays attention when I

whistle to her. The next day she turns

her back and sings for someone else.

>> So you get jealous?

>> I wonder what would happen if I took it

away one day and asked her to sing for

me.

>> You enjoyed your evening at the Mel?

>> Still spying on me?

>> I saw you. I was with Philip Moselle.

Are you staying in Paris?

>> Mhm.

>> To work? I have a little money, a few

friends.

>> I live here now.

>> Goodbye.

>> You took my advice about Philipe.

>> Did I?

>> I talked to him the other night about

you.

>> Look, would be nothing interesting in

such a conversation.

>> Oh, but there was. We took a revenge on

him with many women. His pride was badly

hurt. Aren't you afraid he might

retaliate?

>> I'm not afraid of any man in the world,

Mr. Mo.

>> Not even of me.

>> Not even of you.

>> Goodbye.

>> Yes.

>> No, we are busy all day today.

I would be glad and Chief Inspector LL

would be glad if you would look at these

today. Mr. Moar,

>> there's a beautiful view from this

window. See how the river sparkles.

>> Please, Mr. Moar,

>> you never noticed it, but sure. I'm here

only to work.

>> Then you will make only a very dull and

ordinary policeman.

>> I'm going out, Mark.

>> Out? For the good of my health. It's

Saturday. Had enough of work?

[music]

I think if you hadn't said yes, I'd have

changed my mind.

This is the first solid I've had for 3

years on the river like this.

>> It was the most fearsome invitation. You

almost threatened me.

>> I thought you said you were never

afraid.

>> I was afraid of you

because

you were part of a machine.

You were as imperson on the door would

shut me in.

>> But now you're only a man.

>> Another man.

>> Another man.

>> Sometimes I wish I was only that.

>> We'll do this again.

>> You mean may we do this again?

>> I'm sorry. May we do this again?

>> We may.

>> [music]

>> I've [music] never been here at N

before.

>> I used to come here often years ago when

I first came to Paris. Alone, of course.

>> Of course.

>> I should have thought.

>> It's beautiful.

>> What would you have thought, Fa? that

other men might have brought you here.

>> Yes,

one would have thought so,

but they haven't.

>> It mustn't get cold out here.

>> Tell me,

can you remember when you first came

here, I mean to Paris?

Did you feel afraid or glad or homesick?

All three. I worked hard, made myself

the best of them.

I so lonely I thought my heart would

break.

>> Philip once told me he had no heart.

>> He should know. He had his kind of

pulled family piece by piece.

>> I must go now.

Please.

Good night, Mr. Mother.

Chief here.

>> Yes. Please send for him.

>> Yes. Me and him.

>> You miss.

about Phipe, the bank thief.

it's true.

There'll be a reward, won't they?

>> Good evening, Mure. We want to search

the premises.

Who is it?

>> Quickly, I will speak to you.

I'm in trouble, Meline. So, I came to

you.

>> Yes.

>> You must help me.

>> If I can, Philip.

>> You can if you will.

>> I thought I would never see you again.

>> Why did you think of me tonight?

>> It's in your hands to show whether my

life is of any value to you.

>> You think it is?

>> That's a chance tape.

Tonight I was with a man who killed a

policeman. It was an accident. The man

was killed, too.

They'll try and bring me in for it. I

must have an alibi. Madlin,

>> what do you want me to do?

>> Save my life.

This is murder. Whether it was by my

hand or not, I'll try to tie it onto me.

If they come here,

>> If they do,

it'll be for my life.

Wait.

I want you

>> Where have you been?

>> And if I do not choose to tell you,

>> And if I still do not choose to tell

you,

>> I said murder. Phillip, the murder of a

policeman. You know what that means?

There's another bank. Phipe, another

tall, dark man got away. Paris is full

of tall, dark men.

>> Watch your alibi this time.

A cab could take us back to where I've

come from.

Get in then.

Wait,

>> We have a charge against you, Louisa,

which we can press or not press. You

help me, I'll let you go.

>> I don't inform.

>> Then you'll get the maximum.

I don't inform my teddler.

>> You had a brother, Jeang,

who died a few weeks ago. He killed one

of my men, Louie.

>> He's dead himself

>> because his partner left him in the

lurch. Your brother was a brave fool.

Fought another man's battle and died.

>> Was never an informer. Neither am I.

He'd be alive today if this man hadn't

talked him into a dangerous job and run

out on him.

>> Man gave my mother money. We have

nothing against him.

>> How much money? 50,000 Franks.

They stole 100,000.

Your brother's sh was a half.

>> He gave us 5,000.

>> Yes.

Robbing the dead. Louie,

you help me. I'll help you.

>> Let him go.

>> Why did you learn that about the money?

He only got 5,000 out of that robbery.

>> I must have made a mistake.

Happy birthday.

Paris in the streets waiting for the

>> Police?

>> Yes. There's a glass in watchman's box

in the lobby. Please make around in 10

minutes. They're looking to see if the

But yeah, I'm going away for the first

Well, Larash, what is it?

lobe, contacted Belma, and crossed the

frontier. There's no difficulty there,

nor was there a bon at first.

>> It's trickier than we thought. Winston,

>> don't interrupt.

>> The list you want is in the German

legation. That's certain. I put pressure

on the coding club we used before, but

nothing came of it. You mean the

wretched fellow let us down?

>> Yes, he blew his brains out.

>> Pity,

[snorts]

Major Mo,

I'm going to tell you why I want that

file so badly.

>> That would be wise, Minister.

>> Thank you.

We're launching an offensive, as you

know. That file in Bon contains a list

of enemy agents in France. When those

people talk, a lot of men die.

We shall have to break into the

litigation just like that.

There's one man I've known in all my

career as a policeman who could do it

for you. Speaks German. He's well born

without fear and with no moral scooples

whatever.

>> You mean to say there's a fellow like

that in the war industry?

>> No, in prison. He's serving a 5year

sentence for robbing a bank.

>> But are you suggesting we employ a

common burglar?

>> Why not? We wish to commit a burglary.

>> Can you guarantee the man?

>> Yes.

>> You think he'd undertake the assignment

under supervision?

>> You might be persuaded to by myself.

>> You're serious, Mobile. I'm not a

frivolous man, Minister.

>> That I know.

>> We'll try it.

>> Go and see him. Tell him as good as you

can. But hurry.

I've never heard anything so completely

fantastic. A crook working for

intelligence.

>> Better name than a fool.

>> I'll call you when I want you.

Good afternoon. Believe

man. Fables have left on 10.

>> What fable have you come here to tell?

>> It's bad in here.

You're here for how long?

>> Another three years, aren't you?

>> Have you come here to amuse yourself?

What do you want, Mo?

>> To talk.

Before you're a thief, you're a

Frenchman, I suppose.

At this moment, France is in need of

your rather special talent.

I am working in the counter espionage

service on a job that I can't finish

alone. You can't

>> entails breaking into a German ligation

in Switzerland

and stealing a certain paper out of a

safe.

>> A robber policeman Blackleg Labor.

>> I suggested your name to my department

so I could guarantee you as a man. I was

a Frenchman. You understand?

>> I'm flattered.

>> You can leave this place and do

something for us instead of against us.

>> We can offer you your freedom, Felipe.

On our terms.

>> And I'll accept on my terms.

Years.

>> What are they?

>> The pardon. My police record torn up.

50,000 Franks. Oh, and a decoration.

I've always wanted a decoration. My

sainted father had one. What was it,

too?

>> The Republic doesn't decorate its

criminals.

>> I want my answer.

>> They won't bargain. They say, "Let him

stay there and rot."

>> For another 3 years, and then I come out

alive. If I guard with you, I might die.

I like being alive.

>> Even here.

>> Even here.

>> Now tell them what you said.

>> Well, and another thing, have you ever

thought what it might be like to see

Maline Sanchez

without having to wait another 3 years?

Philip,

>> have you seen her?

>> Once, twice,

saw her last month driving a car alone.

She has a new flare. How did you look

with me?

>> Well,

harder, more distant.

>> She's distant, right?

>> Well, that's up to you.

>> You give me your word that I would see

her before we went away?

>> Yes.

>> Then, yes.

Answer the doors in it.

>> A gentleman was there.

>> Was you more bare?

>> Fair.

>> It's a long time. Madlin.

This is different.

It's different from the other place.

>> More grown up.

>> You are more grown up, too.

>> Why am I so different?

>> I came to find out. I left myself 2

minutes.

>> I smoke one, too.

Why did you come here suddenly

after all this time?

>> Oh, I was talking to you yesterday,

remembering words,

places,

feelings,

>> good feelings.

>> Some good, some bad.

>> No other reason.

You're frightened of something, aren't

you?

>> My job.

>> Being killed?

>> Perhaps of being killed?

Mostly a failure?

>> I'm sentimental because I'm going away

and I'm alone.

>> Are you alone?

I wanted to see you and I hoped you'll

see me again when I come back.

>> You must have hated me for a long time.

>> I did.

Not now.

Then it's not goodbye.

You'll see me again.

>> Of course.

Say it then.

>> I'll see you again.

>> I'm superstitious.

I know now. I'll come back.

Moar is here. Minister. He has this

fellow with him. I don't think this is a

very wise idea. Now you know when to

start.

>> Colonel Daros,

I am not the least interested in your

opinions.

>> You give too freely of your advice,

which may I say is almost invariably

unsound.

>> Yes, Minister.

>> In fact, I'm becoming increasingly

irritated by it.

>> I am very sorry to hear that.

>> Now, you'll be kind enough to show in

Major Moar and this fellow and then show

yourself out.

>> Yes, Minister. Thank you, M.

Thank you, sir.

Professional solder.

>> Mir Phipe,

I see that you were once an anarchist in

Marseilles.

>> I didn't think that was officially

known. to this department. Everything is

known about everybody.

>> Even that you yourself were once an

anarchist was you 45 years ago in Mar.

>> Major Moare has informed you of the

nature of this undertaking.

>> Yes, and I have informed him on what

terms I will attempt to carry it out.

This is no occasion for jokes, Mr.

>> I quite appreciate that. My liberty is

no joke, nor is 50,000 Franks. And a

decoration is extremely serious.

>> I see that you're no respector of

persons, Miss Anarchist.

>> No. I think there are successful men,

but no great men. But I respect success,

Mur. And I appreciate its rewards.

>> Yes or no? Are you willing to undertake

this task?

>> On my own terms, yes. With the added

condition that Major Moare comes with me

under my orders. set a high price on

your services.

>> A soldier's life may be demanded

unconditionally, but I am not a soldier.

Mister, I am a civilian volunteer.

>> You are a thief. Can a department that

makes thieves out of respectable

policemen object to that?

>> Mo return this man to his cell.

All right, we agree.

Mia, this task is part of a military

plan. If you succeed, well enough. If

you fail, you'll receive no help from

anybody. You'll get detailed

instructions later on. You'll leave

Paris at 11:00.

>> Both of us?

>> Well, of course, both of you. He's under

orders, isn't he?

>> Hank,

we're leaving here at 10:00. I'll give

you a papers and passport at the

frontier.

>> What are we supposed to be?

>> Electrical engineers. You're the

technician and the businessman.

>> Is there any time limit?

>> Got 3 days in band to complete the job.

72 hours. You had any food?

>> Yes.

Well, when do I see Meline?

>> I think that would be unwise.

>> Have they corrupted you at last? Fern do

lie now to get your own way like the

rest of us. You were in love with her

once.

>> Yes.

>> I ended it for you the night you wanted

me for murder.

>> That's passed now. Forget it.

>> She's the only one I've ever thought

about. Of the dozens of women I've lied

to, who've lied to me. You said once

she's got under your skin, remember?

>> I found her in a small town only 3 years

ago

>> and lost her.

>> I still would like to say goodbye to

her. If you won't do it for me, for

melodrama's sake, let me see her.

>> Remember on your word of honor.

>> My word of honor. Yes.

>> 5 minutes then.

>> Thank you.

Madmoiselle.

a party this year.

me. There's so little time. For 3 years,

I've had you in my mind, and I borrowed

5 minutes to see you. I had to see you

in touch.

>> Very, please.

Please don't go.

>> I'll come back. Whatever happens, I'll

come back in a few days. They're giving

me parole.

>> You're the only one. The only one, I

tell you.

I'll wait for you here.

I'm the one who is no good for people

now.

I made myself hard

because of you.

I was in love with you

Good luck, my bear.

orders to do something important for the

first time in your life. And you can't

run.

>> I don't want to. I left something

behind. Something I want.

>> Something you lost.

>> I don't think so.

>> Miss Wait, you've dropped your book.

>> How nice of you. Thank you for calling

me. This is my first visit to Bon. Do

you live here, Madammoiselle?

>> Yes, all my life.

stranger.

And she's very friendly.

>> I've been looking around the place.

There are some very interesting old

buildings here. This is a very pretty

little church, this one.

And this is the German legation.

>> What's your plan?

>> The girl lives here. She's going to let

me into the house. Now, this is her

room. Do we know where the safe is?

There the Bman Leipig 1914 model.

>> You know it all, don't you?

>> I don't waste my time talking to people

who can't help us.

Can you get at it from the outside?

>> If you'll do as I tell you.

>> Well, what do I do?

>> Get drunk. Act drunk. Start it at

Shroud's Cafe and get a taxi back to

legation on the way.

>> What time?

>> 1:30 a.m. I'll wait on the roof until I

hear you wreck the cab.

>> Do I live?

>> Did you walk from the frontier?

report that these men are back.

them to get them clean again. If you

both of you.

>> He did. It was you, Mr. Anarchist. with

Major Moare's assistance.

>> This is what I wanted, more than I dared

hope for. Captain Lamage, have this

decoded. Major Moare, act on it at once.

>> That's it.

>> I think we still have some unfinished

business, Minister.

>> Oh, yes. The matter of your award. My

secrets have dealt with that. You'll

find that your police dosier has already

been destroyed. And therefore, M, if

you'll excuse me, I I have a war on my

hands.

My dear mercenary,

I confer upon you a very special

decoration. Many Frenchmen wear it with

Theirs is on a string. Your name and
