1
00:02:14,306 --> 00:02:17,557
Towards the end of the century,
in August, in Paris...

2
00:02:18,185 --> 00:02:19,764
The city
is almost deserted

3
00:02:19,979 --> 00:02:21,474
at this time of year...

4
00:02:21,982 --> 00:02:23,358
Specially on Sundays...

5
00:02:24,486 --> 00:02:27,986
André Parisi woke up
with difficulty...

6
00:02:28,908 --> 00:02:33,618
In the kitchen, familiar sounds
of breakfast being made...

7
00:02:35,082 --> 00:02:35,996
His daughter is crying...

8
00:02:58,527 --> 00:03:01,945
<i>Moments later,
he is ready to go out.</i>

9
00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:04,361
<i>He says to his wife, Maria...</i>

10
00:03:04,578 --> 00:03:06,654
I'm going to the drugstore.

11
00:03:07,081 --> 00:03:08,741
Will you be home for lunch?

12
00:03:08,957 --> 00:03:11,711
Of course.
Do you want me to get anything?

13
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,711
Tomatoes and bread.

14
00:03:14,297 --> 00:03:15,496
I'll be right back.

15
00:03:17,553 --> 00:03:18,715
Is anything wrong?

16
00:03:19,305 --> 00:03:20,384
I don't know...

17
00:03:21,306 --> 00:03:24,012
I've got a headache...
I slept badly.

18
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:30,801
Excuse me.

19
00:04:31,812 --> 00:04:34,979
I can usually control
my hilarity.

20
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:39,064
I am a serious person usually.

21
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,488
It takes a really good joke.

22
00:04:42,993 --> 00:04:47,822
Lord! I'm well past laughing
this much, I've no right.

23
00:04:48,208 --> 00:04:49,667
Unfortunately,

24
00:04:49,877 --> 00:04:52,878
there's something really funny,

25
00:04:53,089 --> 00:04:54,999
really, really funny.

26
00:04:56,552 --> 00:04:57,880
6 packets of 'Picaduros'...

27
00:05:00,557 --> 00:05:02,515
Funny, I spoke in Spanish.

28
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:12,194
Of course, you'll have a drink?

29
00:05:12,405 --> 00:05:13,568
No thanks.

30
00:05:13,783 --> 00:05:16,654
I must get to the shops,
and then home.

31
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,496
I'm late as it is.

32
00:05:18,705 --> 00:05:20,329
So am I.

33
00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:24,335
I must find a drugstore,

34
00:05:25,005 --> 00:05:27,544
I've got a headache,
I slept badly.

35
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,300
I have been sleeping badly.

36
00:05:29,511 --> 00:05:30,506
Really!

37
00:05:31,304 --> 00:05:32,715
I don't why I'm telling you.

38
00:05:33,139 --> 00:05:36,094
Quite.
Listen... get your cigarettes.

39
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:38,103
You can tell me in a minute.

40
00:05:38,314 --> 00:05:39,309
No thanks.

41
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:41,019
Two packets of...

42
00:05:41,859 --> 00:05:44,896
Lucky Strike Lights please.

43
00:05:45,615 --> 00:05:46,479
I'd like...

44
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,117
Champagne. A bottle.
Thank you.

45
00:05:52,915 --> 00:05:53,995
Go ahead.

46
00:05:56,919 --> 00:05:58,296
I'll show you...

47
00:06:00,174 --> 00:06:02,583
Isn't that funny?

48
00:06:03,553 --> 00:06:05,428
The horses... twice in a row.

49
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:08,676
I think it's funny anyway.
It's worth a drink.

50
00:06:10,228 --> 00:06:11,723
I shouldn't, really.

51
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:16,859
Last night, I had a drink...
I've got a hangover.

52
00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:18,315
All the more reason.

53
00:06:18,947 --> 00:06:20,028
Cheers!

54
00:06:21,033 --> 00:06:23,026
Here's to you.

55
00:06:24,496 --> 00:06:27,284
It's time I introduced myself.

56
00:06:27,835 --> 00:06:30,622
My name's Mateo Strano,
from Catania.

57
00:06:31,004 --> 00:06:34,504
I travel a great deal...
after a fashion.

58
00:06:35,469 --> 00:06:36,584
Tell me...

59
00:06:37,055 --> 00:06:38,004
And you?

60
00:06:39,057 --> 00:06:40,849
I live there.

61
00:06:41,059 --> 00:06:42,850
Ah yes, I know.

62
00:06:45,105 --> 00:06:46,434
Do you know who I am?

63
00:06:46,692 --> 00:06:50,525
Not really, but I'd like to.

64
00:06:51,072 --> 00:06:53,480
I am ready to pay
for the privilege.

65
00:06:54,201 --> 00:06:55,400
What's that meant
to mean?

66
00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:57,577
Don't take offence.

67
00:06:57,788 --> 00:07:02,203
I need to talk sometimes
and that costs money.

68
00:07:02,419 --> 00:07:05,207
Nothing costs more
than people's time...

69
00:07:05,423 --> 00:07:06,419
So I pay:

70
00:07:07,383 --> 00:07:09,793
A thousand francs per hour.

71
00:07:14,018 --> 00:07:15,133
What for?

72
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:17,096
Almost nothing...

73
00:07:17,522 --> 00:07:21,603
I told you, I'm very Ionely.

74
00:07:23,028 --> 00:07:24,487
- Well...
- Ine hour.

75
00:07:25,991 --> 00:07:28,400
What am I saying?
Fifty minutes.

76
00:07:29,329 --> 00:07:32,948
We've already had ten minutes.
Time flies!

77
00:07:34,126 --> 00:07:35,953
All right then...

78
00:07:36,171 --> 00:07:40,300
but I must be home in an hour.
I am expected.

79
00:07:40,509 --> 00:07:42,254
I'm sure you are.

80
00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:43,668
I hope so at least...

81
00:07:44,515 --> 00:07:46,092
Now why did I say that?

82
00:07:47,601 --> 00:07:49,642
So you live across the road?

83
00:07:50,980 --> 00:07:53,021
38A.

84
00:07:55,236 --> 00:07:56,944
How do you know that?

85
00:07:58,449 --> 00:08:01,783
I don't know. Years ago...

86
00:08:04,832 --> 00:08:09,163
I used to live at 38A too.

87
00:08:09,922 --> 00:08:12,758
Staircase B, 2nd floor.

88
00:08:14,636 --> 00:08:19,346
But I've lived there for
four years... since I was married.

89
00:08:19,558 --> 00:08:20,673
I know.

90
00:08:24,065 --> 00:08:27,066
You know all about me.

91
00:08:27,277 --> 00:08:30,113
Not at all... no.

92
00:08:30,781 --> 00:08:34,732
I enjoy watching people,
it's in my nature.

93
00:08:35,996 --> 00:08:38,702
My mind's not as good as it was,

94
00:08:38,916 --> 00:08:42,202
I forget things, I get migraine...

95
00:08:43,463 --> 00:08:47,214
It's age.
Twenty years is a long time.

96
00:08:48,596 --> 00:08:49,545
Twenty years?

97
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,510
Since I lived at 38A.

98
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,145
Staircase B, 2nd floor?

99
00:08:58,148 --> 00:08:59,098
I don't believe you.

100
00:08:59,901 --> 00:09:00,814
I know.

101
00:09:01,528 --> 00:09:02,904
Because, 20 years ago

102
00:09:03,239 --> 00:09:04,864
my wife was already there.

103
00:09:05,075 --> 00:09:06,534
I know.

104
00:09:13,459 --> 00:09:15,583
I'm beginning to understand.

105
00:09:16,338 --> 00:09:16,954
We have

106
00:09:17,172 --> 00:09:19,747
another 40 minutes.
Let's sit down.

107
00:09:19,968 --> 00:09:21,462
Another bottle please.

108
00:09:32,525 --> 00:09:35,313
And... how is she?

109
00:09:36,197 --> 00:09:37,609
Your wife I mean.

110
00:09:38,658 --> 00:09:41,825
Fine.
She works in a hospital.

111
00:09:44,416 --> 00:09:46,208
But you know that.

112
00:09:49,171 --> 00:09:52,089
Her first husband left her
20 years ago.

113
00:09:55,889 --> 00:09:57,681
He died.

114
00:09:59,476 --> 00:10:01,268
Her daughter left home,

115
00:10:02,229 --> 00:10:04,057
she found herself alone.

116
00:10:04,858 --> 00:10:06,566
Then I turned up.

117
00:10:08,446 --> 00:10:11,696
We've adopted a little girl...

118
00:10:12,368 --> 00:10:13,862
What's she like?

119
00:10:14,830 --> 00:10:17,321
All babies are the same.

120
00:10:20,878 --> 00:10:22,670
Let me ask you something.

121
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:27,166
I know something about you.

122
00:10:27,386 --> 00:10:28,466
I expect so.

123
00:10:29,431 --> 00:10:33,559
When you left Maria,
you travelled a great deal?

124
00:10:34,104 --> 00:10:35,848
You could say that.

125
00:10:36,272 --> 00:10:38,146
And now you're back.

126
00:10:38,859 --> 00:10:40,734
You could say that.

127
00:10:43,908 --> 00:10:44,986
Cheers!

128
00:10:46,369 --> 00:10:49,489
<i>I can see the apartment
as it was 20 years ago...</i>

129
00:10:50,124 --> 00:10:52,081
<i>The odd thing is,</i>

130
00:10:52,292 --> 00:10:55,331
<i>I could describe the decor...</i>

131
00:10:56,132 --> 00:10:59,632
<i>but I've completely forgotten
the furniture,</i>

132
00:10:59,844 --> 00:11:01,124
<i>completely.</i>

133
00:11:02,807 --> 00:11:05,476
<i>I can see the living-room wall,</i>

134
00:11:05,685 --> 00:11:08,935
<i>that August morning...</i>

135
00:11:09,648 --> 00:11:11,890
<i>Maria was at the shops.</i>

136
00:11:12,485 --> 00:11:16,271
<i>I was staring at the photos,
nearly a hundred of them,</i>

137
00:11:17,784 --> 00:11:21,320
<i>all of them just her and me.</i>

138
00:11:22,457 --> 00:11:24,699
<i>Can you imagine</i>

139
00:11:24,917 --> 00:11:28,702
<i>what hell it is,
just loving and being loved?</i>

140
00:11:29,507 --> 00:11:32,509
<i>There was no hint of hatred
between us.</i>

141
00:11:32,719 --> 00:11:34,379
<i>And do you know why?</i>

142
00:11:34,597 --> 00:11:38,299
<i>Because every time a cloud
appeared on the horizon,</i>

143
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:42,731
<i>we'd have a photo taken.
Instantly, happiness would return.</i>

144
00:11:43,524 --> 00:11:46,442
<i>But you should never
overdo things:</i>

145
00:11:46,653 --> 00:11:51,150
<i>The more photos I took,
the less I recognized myself...</i>

146
00:11:52,368 --> 00:11:57,328
<i>till one day I looked in the mirror
and saw a stranger...</i>

147
00:11:57,543 --> 00:11:58,917
<i>a complete stranger.</i>

148
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,670
So...

149
00:12:03,967 --> 00:12:05,794
You fell out of love?

150
00:12:06,012 --> 00:12:09,547
No, I never stopped
loving her.

151
00:12:10,434 --> 00:12:11,844
Right now,

152
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:14,101
I love her more than ever.

153
00:12:15,606 --> 00:12:17,065
Why tell me?

154
00:12:19,361 --> 00:12:21,899
I thought Sicilians were jealous.

155
00:12:22,741 --> 00:12:26,360
That's how it all began.

156
00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:27,903
I was jealous...

157
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:31,203
Jealous of myself.

158
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:36,754
I thought, the man my wife loves
cannot be me.

159
00:12:39,888 --> 00:12:41,430
I'm only joking.

160
00:12:43,641 --> 00:12:45,053
I know.

161
00:12:49,191 --> 00:12:51,517
<i>The neighbourhood's changed...</i>

162
00:12:51,735 --> 00:12:54,487
<i>20 years ago a tale like mine
was conceivable...</i>

163
00:12:54,697 --> 00:12:57,236
<i>Today it would be unthinkable.</i>

164
00:12:57,451 --> 00:12:59,907
<i>Imagine someone... like me...</i>

165
00:13:00,122 --> 00:13:02,827
<i>walking out
to get some cigarettes...</i>

166
00:13:03,041 --> 00:13:04,952
<i>pausing in front of a building.</i>

167
00:13:05,169 --> 00:13:09,084
<i>There is a sign in a window
that says FOR RENT.</i>

168
00:13:09,299 --> 00:13:12,884
<i>There is a face behind the sign.</i>

169
00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:14,170
<i>I go up...</i>

170
00:13:14,681 --> 00:13:17,351
<i>open the door... enter...</i>

171
00:13:28,490 --> 00:13:30,282
It's too big.

172
00:13:30,493 --> 00:13:32,202
We could take one floor.

173
00:13:32,411 --> 00:13:35,828
Certainly not.
It's ground floor and first floor.

174
00:13:36,041 --> 00:13:39,079
- That's absurd, it's too big.
- I'm sorry.

175
00:13:39,295 --> 00:13:42,915
You want to rent both apartments
together? Right now?

176
00:13:43,134 --> 00:13:45,174
Yes. Both.
You interested?

177
00:13:45,387 --> 00:13:46,631
<i>The deal was struck.</i>

178
00:13:47,306 --> 00:13:50,557
<i>They left me not knowing
what to do with myself.</i>

179
00:13:50,768 --> 00:13:52,808
<i>I wanted to run to Maria</i>

180
00:13:53,021 --> 00:13:57,483
<i>to tell her I'd found a new
apartment for next to nothing...</i>

181
00:13:57,861 --> 00:14:01,029
<i>a real bargain... a miracle.</i>

182
00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:03,782
<i>But I knew what she'd say.</i>

183
00:14:04,286 --> 00:14:07,952
<i>She hated me deciding anything
without her.</i>

184
00:14:08,166 --> 00:14:10,622
<i>It had all happened so fast.</i>

185
00:14:11,295 --> 00:14:14,914
<i>I explored the apartment:
It was barely furnished,</i>

186
00:14:15,132 --> 00:14:18,752
<i>a bit dark.
It was nothing special.</i>

187
00:14:18,971 --> 00:14:21,261
<i>Except that...
I can't explain it:</i>

188
00:14:21,932 --> 00:14:26,098
<i>The proportions were deceptive.</i>

189
00:14:27,147 --> 00:14:30,316
<i>I kept walking round the rooms.</i>

190
00:14:30,902 --> 00:14:33,109
<i>The space
was meant to be 1000sq ft</i>

191
00:14:34,616 --> 00:14:37,155
<i>but it felt like a lot more.</i>

192
00:14:37,869 --> 00:14:40,408
<i>In fact, I had a feeling</i>

193
00:14:40,624 --> 00:14:45,619
<i>the apartment was growing...</i>

194
00:14:46,547 --> 00:14:48,504
<i>The walls were moving apart...</i>

195
00:14:49,842 --> 00:14:52,549
<i>Night fell without my noticing.</i>

196
00:14:52,889 --> 00:14:54,087
<i>I felt hungry.</i>

197
00:14:54,515 --> 00:14:56,425
<i>I went out.</i>

198
00:14:58,854 --> 00:15:00,847
<i>I found a bar.</i>

199
00:15:01,691 --> 00:15:05,559
<i>I got something to eat
and heard two men talking...</i>

200
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:08,901
I haven't set foot here
for 15 years.

201
00:15:09,534 --> 00:15:11,159
The place has changed.

202
00:15:11,495 --> 00:15:12,824
It's full of foreigners.

203
00:15:13,330 --> 00:15:15,869
Like me for instance.

204
00:15:17,253 --> 00:15:21,667
I must have met 15 people today,
none of them recognized me.

205
00:15:21,883 --> 00:15:25,004
They're only pretending.

206
00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:27,009
You're right.

207
00:15:27,850 --> 00:15:29,225
Look who's here.

208
00:15:29,435 --> 00:15:32,603
We went to school together.

209
00:15:36,109 --> 00:15:37,688
That's friendship for you!

210
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:39,944
Hi, Marc.
How are you?

211
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:42,198
Are you off somewhere?

212
00:15:42,410 --> 00:15:46,740
I've been abroad for 15 years,
I've just got back.

213
00:15:47,291 --> 00:15:48,454
You're kidding!

214
00:15:48,917 --> 00:15:50,460
See what I mean?

215
00:15:52,964 --> 00:15:55,586
<i>As a child, in Catania...</i>

216
00:15:56,678 --> 00:15:58,919
<i>I used to dream
about faraway places,</i>

217
00:15:59,139 --> 00:16:02,840
<i>faraway places like Paris...</i>

218
00:16:03,186 --> 00:16:07,481
<i>where people pretend
not to know each other.</i>

219
00:16:08,276 --> 00:16:10,683
<i>I realized that travel</i>

220
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:14,320
<i>didn't mean going away.</i>

221
00:16:14,534 --> 00:16:16,775
<i>A few yards would suffice.</i>

222
00:16:17,663 --> 00:16:19,822
<i>So I moved into my new home.</i>

223
00:16:21,584 --> 00:16:23,459
<i>I returned and fell asleep.</i>

224
00:16:25,004 --> 00:16:28,043
<i>It must have been 4 am
when I woke up.</i>

225
00:16:28,258 --> 00:16:31,593
<i>I realized I was not alone.</i>

226
00:16:32,014 --> 00:16:35,430
<i>I heard voices in the apartment.
I saw them...</i>

227
00:16:35,644 --> 00:16:38,978
<i>They were there,
dressed like Parisians...</i>

228
00:16:39,524 --> 00:16:42,229
<i>Tiny replica Parisians.</i>

229
00:16:42,444 --> 00:16:44,436
<i>I recognized this street.</i>

230
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:48,356
<i>I saw myself go out
for a packet of cigarettes.</i>

231
00:16:49,453 --> 00:16:50,283
You know...

232
00:16:51,872 --> 00:16:53,663
I am enjoying this story.

233
00:16:55,043 --> 00:16:59,671
When I was small,
no one told me stories.

234
00:17:01,008 --> 00:17:04,544
I've never seen anything strange...

235
00:17:04,763 --> 00:17:06,174
anything at all.

236
00:17:09,185 --> 00:17:13,517
Except maybe, once,
a hallucination,

237
00:17:14,317 --> 00:17:17,651
a greenish cheerleader

238
00:17:17,864 --> 00:17:20,023
climbing up a wall.

239
00:17:21,368 --> 00:17:22,068
That's all.

240
00:17:24,539 --> 00:17:25,202
Cheers!

241
00:17:30,129 --> 00:17:32,751
They're tiny but mean,

242
00:17:32,966 --> 00:17:34,425
mean as hell.

243
00:17:35,052 --> 00:17:37,924
All they think about
is food, food, food...

244
00:17:39,141 --> 00:17:39,887
Who?

245
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:41,673
The fairies.

246
00:17:42,477 --> 00:17:46,523
I hate those fairies,
I loathe them.

247
00:17:47,234 --> 00:17:48,266
Do you know?

248
00:17:48,486 --> 00:17:51,937
They devoured 20 years of my life!

249
00:17:52,490 --> 00:17:53,866
That's quite something.

250
00:17:55,118 --> 00:17:57,444
<i>When I woke up the next day,</i>

251
00:17:57,789 --> 00:17:59,948
<i>I saw 20 years had gone by.</i>

252
00:18:10,180 --> 00:18:12,636
Morning, Mr Mateo!

253
00:18:12,849 --> 00:18:14,047
How are you?

254
00:18:14,435 --> 00:18:16,345
Fine, thanks.

255
00:18:27,702 --> 00:18:30,193
Excuse me but... who are you?

256
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,833
You've forgotten again!

257
00:18:35,419 --> 00:18:36,997
Does it happen often?

258
00:18:38,298 --> 00:18:40,125
You should see a doctor.

259
00:18:40,342 --> 00:18:41,886
I should.

260
00:18:42,219 --> 00:18:44,378
But haven't I seen one already?

261
00:18:44,597 --> 00:18:48,382
That's it... you never want to go.

262
00:18:55,821 --> 00:18:57,944
Have you been working here long?

263
00:18:58,156 --> 00:18:59,354
Eight years.

264
00:19:08,836 --> 00:19:10,794
Lh, I know...

265
00:19:11,339 --> 00:19:14,876
You've been up all night
watching the girls...

266
00:19:15,094 --> 00:19:16,755
That's what's done it.

267
00:19:18,558 --> 00:19:20,765
Here girls! Here girls!

268
00:19:22,562 --> 00:19:24,223
Eight years you say?

269
00:19:24,439 --> 00:19:25,982
Almost.

270
00:19:28,570 --> 00:19:30,397
<i>20 years flashing by</i>

271
00:19:30,615 --> 00:19:32,073
<i>is hard to stomach.</i>

272
00:19:32,533 --> 00:19:36,401
<i>It takes quite some training
to read such images</i>

273
00:19:36,622 --> 00:19:38,165
<i>but I succeeded.</i>

274
00:19:38,625 --> 00:19:42,374
<i>I saw 20 years
of life in the neighbourhood go by.</i>

275
00:19:43,213 --> 00:19:45,337
I have to say that
when time flies...

276
00:19:45,549 --> 00:19:48,717
past your very eyes,
every day is the same,

277
00:19:49,096 --> 00:19:50,840
like in a nursery rhyme.

278
00:19:51,391 --> 00:19:55,175
Things start whizzing by so fast

279
00:19:55,396 --> 00:19:59,608
that the pictures seem
to freeze still.

280
00:20:00,236 --> 00:20:03,736
Busy, but immobile... Look!

281
00:20:09,414 --> 00:20:10,327
But...

282
00:20:10,539 --> 00:20:11,951
Look carefully...

283
00:20:15,253 --> 00:20:16,997
I see nothing special.

284
00:20:17,215 --> 00:20:20,751
There are fairies there...
flat fairies.

285
00:20:21,261 --> 00:20:24,713
Flat and starving...
they need feeding.

286
00:20:24,932 --> 00:20:27,602
They don't eat just anything!

287
00:20:28,396 --> 00:20:31,102
What do they eat?

288
00:20:31,525 --> 00:20:34,610
Rose petals... if they can.

289
00:20:35,112 --> 00:20:38,363
Usually, they have to make do
with newsprint.

290
00:20:40,327 --> 00:20:41,786
It's getting late...

291
00:20:45,710 --> 00:20:48,117
You're very kind...
but I must refuse.

292
00:20:48,337 --> 00:20:50,045
You can't refuse.

293
00:20:50,883 --> 00:20:54,419
Another bottle!
And a ham sandwich!

294
00:20:54,929 --> 00:20:55,675
No thanks, no.

295
00:20:55,889 --> 00:20:57,087
You have to eat.

296
00:20:57,307 --> 00:20:58,220
I know.

297
00:20:58,434 --> 00:20:59,216
By the way,

298
00:20:59,769 --> 00:21:01,927
they love Parma ham.

299
00:21:02,606 --> 00:21:04,480
I believe you.

300
00:21:05,693 --> 00:21:07,104
I have to go.

301
00:21:07,903 --> 00:21:09,362
Then go.

302
00:21:24,801 --> 00:21:26,175
I'm listening.

303
00:21:27,429 --> 00:21:28,424
The truth is,

304
00:21:29,013 --> 00:21:32,965
the only thing they really
wanted to eat was my time...

305
00:21:34,646 --> 00:21:36,723
Damn those time-eating harpies!

306
00:21:42,031 --> 00:21:43,312
Tell me again...

307
00:21:45,076 --> 00:21:47,319
You say you spent 20 years
in a fairy house?

308
00:21:47,955 --> 00:21:48,737
Just one night.

309
00:21:49,414 --> 00:21:50,364
That's all.

310
00:21:50,916 --> 00:21:54,368
<i>That night I decided
to avoid the kitchen.</i>

311
00:21:55,214 --> 00:21:56,625
<i>It made no difference.</i>

312
00:21:57,257 --> 00:22:00,093
<i>They came to me...</i>

313
00:22:00,303 --> 00:22:03,259
<i>I was surrounded
by these creatures...</i>

314
00:22:03,473 --> 00:22:05,882
<i>by an indefatigable workforce.</i>

315
00:22:06,102 --> 00:22:07,347
<i>They were starving.</i>

316
00:22:07,772 --> 00:22:08,935
<i>Within a few seconds,</i>

317
00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,769
<i>they'd eaten
a communist newspaper...</i>

318
00:22:11,985 --> 00:22:15,437
<i>and 'Le Monde Diplomatique'.</i>

319
00:22:16,908 --> 00:22:19,945
<i>They started drinking...
they finished...</i>

320
00:22:20,161 --> 00:22:21,870
<i>a bottle of Pernod,
some Armagnac...</i>

321
00:22:22,081 --> 00:22:24,538
<i>cherry brandy...</i>

322
00:22:25,461 --> 00:22:27,537
<i>And when that was done,</i>

323
00:22:27,754 --> 00:22:31,005
<i>they started weaving
a kind of mirage...</i>

324
00:22:33,888 --> 00:22:37,008
<i>This time,
they'd thought of another joke.</i>

325
00:22:40,479 --> 00:22:43,480
<i>Instead of devouring
my days and years,</i>

326
00:22:44,192 --> 00:22:49,187
<i>now they trapped me in a single
instant, for more than two months.</i>

327
00:22:51,035 --> 00:22:54,701
<i>I was able to examine every single
aspect of that instant...</i>

328
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,362
<i>It's harder</i>

329
00:22:56,583 --> 00:22:57,911
<i>than you might think.</i>

330
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:01,960
<i>Every component event
moved back and forth...</i>

331
00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:06,302
<i>and within each event,
other events</i>

332
00:23:06,512 --> 00:23:08,636
<i>moved back and forth...</i>

333
00:23:10,142 --> 00:23:12,930
<i>My instant came to an end
3 days ago.</i>

334
00:23:14,438 --> 00:23:15,849
Another bottle!

335
00:23:16,692 --> 00:23:18,235
I must be going.

336
00:23:21,281 --> 00:23:23,607
Don't you like my story?

337
00:23:23,825 --> 00:23:24,775
No.

338
00:23:24,994 --> 00:23:26,157
I see.

339
00:23:26,370 --> 00:23:27,699
I'm sure you do.

340
00:23:28,415 --> 00:23:30,040
So you're going...

341
00:23:30,251 --> 00:23:31,163
Yes.

342
00:23:33,088 --> 00:23:36,042
Won't you see the fairy house?

343
00:23:36,257 --> 00:23:38,832
What? Now?
It's nearly midnight.

344
00:23:39,054 --> 00:23:40,881
It won't take a moment.

345
00:23:41,098 --> 00:23:42,890
You're not to be trusted.

346
00:23:43,226 --> 00:23:44,684
Think it over.

347
00:23:52,945 --> 00:23:55,733
I'm not sure what to say.

348
00:23:56,074 --> 00:23:59,492
You've earned 12,000 francs already,

349
00:23:59,705 --> 00:24:01,828
that's quite a day's work.

350
00:24:03,251 --> 00:24:04,366
Let's go.

351
00:24:05,337 --> 00:24:07,875
I could go and fetch her,
Maria I mean.

352
00:24:08,089 --> 00:24:09,465
She's too faraway.

353
00:24:09,675 --> 00:24:11,253
No further than your place.

354
00:24:11,595 --> 00:24:12,875
Much further.

355
00:24:14,306 --> 00:24:15,420
Let's go.

356
00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:38,375
So that part is true...

357
00:24:38,586 --> 00:24:39,667
What?

358
00:24:40,798 --> 00:24:42,542
The apartment exists.

359
00:24:42,758 --> 00:24:44,170
Looks like it!

360
00:24:54,773 --> 00:24:58,606
How long did you say
you'd been here?

361
00:24:58,821 --> 00:25:02,571
20 years, 3 months, 2 weeks,

362
00:25:02,784 --> 00:25:05,821
4 days, 3 hours, 27 minutes.

363
00:25:21,057 --> 00:25:22,884
And the fairies are to blame?

364
00:25:23,102 --> 00:25:24,097
Exactly.

365
00:25:40,456 --> 00:25:43,707
- Can I see them?
- Surely. Come here... come.

366
00:25:44,836 --> 00:25:48,171
There. Under the table.

367
00:25:58,437 --> 00:25:59,600
I see.

368
00:26:00,315 --> 00:26:03,103
I see, yes.

369
00:26:16,668 --> 00:26:19,338
Nice place this.

370
00:26:19,547 --> 00:26:22,169
I knew you'd love it.

371
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:25,587
Not bad,

372
00:26:26,473 --> 00:26:27,505
not bad at all.

373
00:26:28,183 --> 00:26:30,971
So it's a deal.

374
00:26:31,605 --> 00:26:32,352
What deal?

375
00:26:32,563 --> 00:26:36,230
You stay here,
so I can go home.

376
00:26:52,881 --> 00:26:54,625
That would be difficult.

377
00:27:00,724 --> 00:27:01,755
Goodbye.

378
00:27:02,810 --> 00:27:03,973
You're not convinced?

379
00:27:05,689 --> 00:27:06,769
Not at all.

380
00:27:11,614 --> 00:27:13,772
Here.
This money's yours.

381
00:27:15,034 --> 00:27:16,030
That isn't necessary.

382
00:27:16,245 --> 00:27:17,407
Please.

383
00:27:17,996 --> 00:27:20,832
If you insist. Leave it there.

384
00:27:21,041 --> 00:27:24,162
The fairies love 500 franc bills.

385
00:27:24,380 --> 00:27:26,040
I bet.

386
00:27:27,341 --> 00:27:30,212
Sorry but may I insist?

387
00:27:30,428 --> 00:27:31,673
It's no use.

388
00:27:31,889 --> 00:27:33,764
I don't see why you're refusing

389
00:27:33,975 --> 00:27:36,549
such a very good deal.

390
00:27:37,812 --> 00:27:40,055
- You're not like most people.
- Who?

391
00:27:40,525 --> 00:27:41,605
Ither people.

392
00:27:42,111 --> 00:27:44,601
I probably am.

393
00:27:46,156 --> 00:27:47,485
What a shame.

394
00:27:48,242 --> 00:27:51,529
Be reasonable.
Put yourself in my shoes.

395
00:27:51,748 --> 00:27:55,034
I go out, go to a café,

396
00:27:55,836 --> 00:27:58,838
a man says
he's my wife's first husband,

397
00:27:59,049 --> 00:28:03,130
he explains he left her 20 years ago
and now he lives nearby.

398
00:28:03,763 --> 00:28:05,672
He says the fairies are to blame!

399
00:28:05,890 --> 00:28:08,133
He talks about other people.

400
00:28:08,352 --> 00:28:09,098
What other people?

401
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:11,434
It's all too much.

402
00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:14,899
Anything is too much.

403
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:18,570
Do you really want to know?

404
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,399
Your stories don't interest me.

405
00:28:21,618 --> 00:28:24,489
There. You're just like the others.

406
00:28:25,247 --> 00:28:26,197
Goodbye.

407
00:28:26,959 --> 00:28:29,201
So we'll never meet again?

408
00:28:30,547 --> 00:28:31,626
Not at all.

409
00:28:35,553 --> 00:28:37,546
How do I get out?

410
00:28:39,391 --> 00:28:41,598
Is this door locked or what?

411
00:28:42,562 --> 00:28:43,677
Shit!

412
00:28:56,371 --> 00:28:59,326
If that's how you want it!

413
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,332
You've got everything you need.
Antonia will explain.

414
00:29:34,376 --> 00:29:37,580
What am I supposed to tell people?

415
00:29:37,798 --> 00:29:40,337
No one will ask.

416
00:29:40,551 --> 00:29:41,880
Not even Maria?

417
00:29:42,094 --> 00:29:43,589
Her least of all.

418
00:29:44,764 --> 00:29:47,600
Your maid is right.

419
00:29:47,811 --> 00:29:49,934
You need medical help.

420
00:29:51,523 --> 00:29:53,018
I'm afraid I do.

421
00:29:55,236 --> 00:29:57,609
I expect we won't meet again.

422
00:29:58,908 --> 00:30:00,652
Of course we will.

423
00:30:01,744 --> 00:30:03,821
And sooner than you think.

424
00:30:05,709 --> 00:30:10,122
I need to check something

425
00:30:11,089 --> 00:30:12,465
with Maria.

426
00:30:14,719 --> 00:30:18,089
Do you realize
how badly you've treated

427
00:30:18,475 --> 00:30:20,432
your family?

428
00:30:21,019 --> 00:30:22,680
That's certainly true.

429
00:30:24,023 --> 00:30:27,143
I'll see you tomorrow.

430
00:30:28,154 --> 00:30:29,434
With my lawyer.

431
00:30:30,113 --> 00:30:31,572
I don't think so.

432
00:30:31,867 --> 00:30:33,241
Believe me.

433
00:30:33,451 --> 00:30:35,908
I really don't think so.

434
00:32:16,748 --> 00:32:18,207
Can I come in?

435
00:32:19,585 --> 00:32:21,293
- Of course.
- Thank you.

436
00:32:54,546 --> 00:32:56,753
Do you want a drink?

437
00:32:56,965 --> 00:32:58,128
Champagne.

438
00:32:58,426 --> 00:33:00,253
I have some white wine.

439
00:33:00,471 --> 00:33:02,297
All right, yes.

440
00:33:04,851 --> 00:33:07,603
Hasn't everything changed here?

441
00:33:10,358 --> 00:33:13,146
You must be afraid
I'll ask questions.

442
00:33:13,570 --> 00:33:15,610
I wouldn't know what to reply.

443
00:33:17,868 --> 00:33:19,065
Don't say anything.

444
00:33:45,986 --> 00:33:46,851
Maria...

445
00:33:47,529 --> 00:33:49,072
Do you love me?

446
00:33:49,282 --> 00:33:50,444
I don't know.

447
00:33:50,658 --> 00:33:52,865
- What about you?
- I don't know.

448
00:33:53,913 --> 00:33:54,659
Cheers!

449
00:33:55,581 --> 00:33:56,577
Your health!

450
00:33:57,417 --> 00:33:58,746
You got married?

451
00:34:00,254 --> 00:34:02,378
I was, yes.
But he left yesterday.

452
00:34:03,174 --> 00:34:04,503
He'll be back.

453
00:34:05,303 --> 00:34:06,928
I don't think so.

454
00:34:07,138 --> 00:34:08,597
He's not like you.

455
00:34:09,558 --> 00:34:10,174
Your health!

456
00:34:10,601 --> 00:34:11,764
And yours!

457
00:34:13,562 --> 00:34:16,350
I've adopted a little girl.

458
00:34:16,567 --> 00:34:17,943
I hope that's IK?

459
00:34:18,152 --> 00:34:20,310
Of course.
Can I see her?

460
00:34:20,989 --> 00:34:22,104
Of course.

461
00:34:23,034 --> 00:34:24,030
Come here.

462
00:34:33,963 --> 00:34:35,956
She's put on weight.

463
00:34:37,050 --> 00:34:38,509
How do you know?

464
00:34:38,762 --> 00:34:40,339
Inly joking.

465
00:34:43,809 --> 00:34:45,766
<i>After 20 years'absence</i>

466
00:34:46,228 --> 00:34:50,642
Mateo Strano returned home
as if nothing had happened

467
00:34:51,486 --> 00:34:54,357
and lived there quietly
till the day he died.

468
00:34:54,572 --> 00:34:57,907
Even stranger
is Professor Vickers' tale.

469
00:34:58,411 --> 00:35:01,911
Georges Vickers is 69
and still a bachelor.

470
00:35:02,124 --> 00:35:04,033
<i>He lives with his mother.</i>

471
00:35:06,338 --> 00:35:07,453
Good morning, Mother.

472
00:35:07,673 --> 00:35:09,168
<i>It is nine o'clock.</i>

473
00:35:09,801 --> 00:35:14,511
<i>As usual, Professor Vickers
wishes his invalid mother goodbye.</i>

474
00:35:14,724 --> 00:35:19,220
It's a lovely day, Mother.
You look well.

475
00:35:19,730 --> 00:35:22,268
What's wrong?
It's lovely out...

476
00:35:22,484 --> 00:35:26,185
I'll be home early today.

477
00:35:26,405 --> 00:35:30,784
I've only two lectures.
I should be home at, yes, around 3.

478
00:35:31,912 --> 00:35:33,323
- Hello, Arlette.
- Morning, Professor.

479
00:35:33,539 --> 00:35:34,950
- All set?
- Yes sir.

480
00:35:35,165 --> 00:35:39,959
Would you please remind me
what's for lunch?

481
00:35:40,506 --> 00:35:42,464
Salmon,
omelette without egg-yolks,

482
00:35:42,676 --> 00:35:45,713
cucumber, toast without butter,
champagne...

483
00:35:45,929 --> 00:35:47,803
Is that it?

484
00:35:48,642 --> 00:35:50,800
Cottage cheese, herb tea.

485
00:35:51,270 --> 00:35:54,721
As a special treat, you can add

486
00:35:54,941 --> 00:35:56,685
a glass of brandy.

487
00:35:57,652 --> 00:35:58,732
Two.

488
00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:02,530
Just for today.
Goodbye Mother.

489
00:36:05,329 --> 00:36:06,361
Georges!

490
00:36:11,211 --> 00:36:12,409
Yes, Mother?

491
00:36:16,885 --> 00:36:19,045
Don't leave me like this.

492
00:36:19,723 --> 00:36:21,632
I'm sorry, Mother.

493
00:36:27,481 --> 00:36:30,353
I'll call you from the faculty.

494
00:36:30,569 --> 00:36:32,111
I won't answer.

495
00:36:32,322 --> 00:36:33,603
Why not?

496
00:36:34,615 --> 00:36:35,814
I'll take the phone
off the hook.

497
00:36:36,535 --> 00:36:39,821
Why are you sulking?
What's the problem?

498
00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:41,783
Did you have a bad night?

499
00:36:42,041 --> 00:36:42,991
Stay here.

500
00:36:43,336 --> 00:36:45,412
Don't give this lecture.

501
00:36:45,629 --> 00:36:48,584
I have to, Mother.
You know that.

502
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,209
They don't even pay you properly.

503
00:36:51,596 --> 00:36:53,839
I don't do it for the money.

504
00:36:54,057 --> 00:36:56,097
I'll never understand you.

505
00:36:56,310 --> 00:36:58,802
You don't have to work.

506
00:37:02,275 --> 00:37:04,233
I'll try and get home early.

507
00:37:04,945 --> 00:37:06,938
See you later.

508
00:37:07,156 --> 00:37:10,028
<i>It is 10.45.
Professor Vickers</i>

509
00:37:10,244 --> 00:37:12,783
<i>ascends the main Sorbonne stairs</i>

510
00:37:12,998 --> 00:37:16,414
<i>ten minutes before giving
the opening lecture</i>

511
00:37:16,628 --> 00:37:20,045
<i>at a major conference
on negative anthropology.</i>

512
00:37:20,758 --> 00:37:22,550
<i>Suddenly, he pauses.</i>

513
00:37:23,761 --> 00:37:27,546
<i>Something strange is happening.
He has never felt like this before.</i>

514
00:37:28,267 --> 00:37:30,474
<i>He looks around in astonishment</i>

515
00:37:30,687 --> 00:37:32,727
<i>as if for the first time.</i>

516
00:37:33,565 --> 00:37:37,101
<i>Then turns round
and goes back down.</i>

517
00:37:42,744 --> 00:37:44,784
<i>A strange force drives him</i>

518
00:37:44,996 --> 00:37:46,574
<i>across the river Seine.</i>

519
00:37:49,586 --> 00:37:51,663
<i>He comes to the City Hall</i>

520
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,215
<i>and crosses over
into the Rue des Archives.</i>

521
00:38:02,268 --> 00:38:06,812
<i>Professor Vickers is experiencing
a feeling of great relief.</i>

522
00:38:08,567 --> 00:38:11,653
<i>He wanders round
the Père Lachaise cemetery.</i>

523
00:38:18,289 --> 00:38:21,574
<i>Night finds him sitting on a tomb.</i>

524
00:38:22,084 --> 00:38:24,410
<i>There is a full moon.
It is warm.</i>

525
00:38:25,839 --> 00:38:29,920
<i>He decides to spend the night
in the graveyard.</i>

526
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,687
<i>A storm breaks before dawn.</i>

527
00:38:40,441 --> 00:38:42,648
<i>He does not look for shelter.</i>

528
00:38:43,195 --> 00:38:45,105
<i>He looks around.</i>

529
00:38:46,073 --> 00:38:47,271
<i>He is happy,</i>

530
00:38:48,077 --> 00:38:49,867
<i>profoundly happy.</i>

531
00:38:53,709 --> 00:38:56,461
<i>Two weeks later,
he is in Montmartre,</i>

532
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:59,244
<i>begging.
He is happier than ever.</i>

533
00:38:59,466 --> 00:39:02,717
<i>For the first time in his life,
he is a success.</i>

534
00:39:02,928 --> 00:39:05,300
<i>An irresistible force
drives people</i>

535
00:39:05,514 --> 00:39:07,389
<i>to give him money.</i>

536
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,976
<i>At this time of year,</i>

537
00:39:09,186 --> 00:39:11,060
<i>Montmartre is packed.</i>

538
00:39:12,273 --> 00:39:15,607
<i>His success makes
other beggars envious.</i>

539
00:39:15,987 --> 00:39:19,487
Look at that!
Call that a tramp?

540
00:39:20,617 --> 00:39:22,361
As far as I'm concerned,

541
00:39:23,245 --> 00:39:26,330
he's a CIA agent.

542
00:39:26,542 --> 00:39:28,000
What are you?

543
00:39:28,418 --> 00:39:31,373
- I'm finding myself.
- Here?

544
00:39:32,383 --> 00:39:34,292
I need the pocket money.

545
00:39:35,177 --> 00:39:37,217
You're not a proper tramp.

546
00:39:37,973 --> 00:39:41,177
I'm showing solidarity.

547
00:39:41,393 --> 00:39:42,259
You said it.

548
00:39:42,478 --> 00:39:43,676
- Not him.
- I hate him.

549
00:39:45,565 --> 00:39:47,309
Not Italian lire, no.

550
00:39:47,527 --> 00:39:48,309
Sorry.

551
00:39:48,862 --> 00:39:50,356
You do take dollars though.

552
00:39:52,616 --> 00:39:54,775
Why don't you show them
your bell?

553
00:39:54,993 --> 00:39:55,908
Again!

554
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,205
- I have no memory.
- What do you think?

555
00:40:00,167 --> 00:40:01,542
It's not that big, is it?

556
00:40:04,797 --> 00:40:06,922
I prefer mine.

557
00:40:08,178 --> 00:40:10,848
It's not up to us to
divide... deride... decide.

558
00:40:11,974 --> 00:40:13,765
<i>Despite his new condition,</i>

559
00:40:13,977 --> 00:40:17,643
<i>Professor Vickers remains
a meticulous man.</i>

560
00:40:17,856 --> 00:40:19,434
<i>He requests charity</i>

561
00:40:19,651 --> 00:40:21,560
<i>between 9am and 6pm
precisely.</i>

562
00:40:21,778 --> 00:40:26,572
<i>Every night he walks precisely
the same route from Montmartre</i>

563
00:40:26,784 --> 00:40:30,997
<i>to the abandoned courtyard
where he has chosen to live.</i>

564
00:40:31,957 --> 00:40:35,623
<i>This routine is bound
to favour an ambush.</i>

565
00:40:58,699 --> 00:41:01,617
<i>This banal incident
proves life-changing.</i>

566
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:04,497
<i>A young woman intervenes.</i>

567
00:41:12,509 --> 00:41:16,637
<i>Her clothes indicate the nature
of her activities.</i>

568
00:41:16,847 --> 00:41:19,303
<i>Tania is a prostitute.</i>

569
00:41:19,517 --> 00:41:21,177
<i>But as we shall see,</i>

570
00:41:21,395 --> 00:41:25,228
<i>a prostitute with a difference.</i>

571
00:41:25,775 --> 00:41:27,317
There's a cab here.

572
00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:34,111
IK!

573
00:41:37,623 --> 00:41:38,952
Nothing broken.

574
00:41:39,167 --> 00:41:40,579
That's something.

575
00:41:41,129 --> 00:41:43,620
Don't move... I'll get you
some painkillers.

576
00:41:56,314 --> 00:41:57,689
<i>Who are you?</i>

577
00:41:57,900 --> 00:41:59,774
- Me?
- Don't!

578
00:42:03,073 --> 00:42:05,990
<i>- Yes, she's here.
- Can I speak to her?</i>

579
00:42:06,744 --> 00:42:08,239
Who shall I say?

580
00:42:08,454 --> 00:42:11,456
<i>Who are you?
I know your voice.</i>

581
00:42:11,666 --> 00:42:12,781
Me too.

582
00:42:13,002 --> 00:42:14,793
<i>I want Tania, please.</i>

583
00:42:15,005 --> 00:42:16,167
She's busy.

584
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:18,089
<i>- With you?
- She's caring for me.</i>

585
00:42:18,299 --> 00:42:19,877
<i>That's new.</i>

586
00:42:21,011 --> 00:42:23,218
<i>- What do you want?
- To see you.</i>

587
00:42:23,432 --> 00:42:24,594
I'm with someone.

588
00:42:24,809 --> 00:42:25,473
<i>Who?</i>

589
00:42:25,684 --> 00:42:27,262
You'll never guess.

590
00:42:27,479 --> 00:42:28,641
<i>I need you Tania.</i>

591
00:42:28,854 --> 00:42:30,729
I won't open.

592
00:43:18,250 --> 00:43:21,502
My husband.
Not that it's any of your business.

593
00:43:21,756 --> 00:43:25,171
I'm sorry, but this book is awful.

594
00:43:25,385 --> 00:43:25,965
What?

595
00:43:26,594 --> 00:43:29,762
This is awful stuff.
This guy's a fraud.

596
00:43:31,518 --> 00:43:32,763
Are you interested?

597
00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:34,551
I should say so.

598
00:43:35,189 --> 00:43:37,763
<i>The Professor spent
the rest of that night</i>

599
00:43:37,984 --> 00:43:41,436
<i>explaining
negative anthropology</i>

600
00:43:41,656 --> 00:43:43,482
<i>to Maria Garbi-Colosso,</i>

601
00:43:43,700 --> 00:43:47,365
<i>better known as "Tania la Corse".</i>

602
00:43:49,122 --> 00:43:50,582
<i>Tania and the tramp</i>

603
00:43:50,791 --> 00:43:53,365
<i>became firm friends,</i>

604
00:43:53,587 --> 00:43:56,340
<i>despite their social differences.</i>

605
00:43:56,841 --> 00:43:59,594
If you see a guy in white shoes

606
00:43:59,804 --> 00:44:02,426
wearing a blue ring, let me know.

607
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,470
Yes Miss.

608
00:44:03,683 --> 00:44:05,474
You'll know right away.

609
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:08,136
He's got a nasty stammer.

610
00:44:08,355 --> 00:44:10,645
He lengthens his vowels.

611
00:44:10,900 --> 00:44:13,060
What if he doesn't say anything?

612
00:44:13,279 --> 00:44:14,738
Stupid question.

613
00:44:14,948 --> 00:44:16,193
Excuse me Miss.

614
00:44:19,161 --> 00:44:22,365
<i>A few days later,
our tramp moves home.</i>

615
00:44:22,581 --> 00:44:25,287
<i>Now he lives on a bench
in the Place Blanche</i>

616
00:44:26,169 --> 00:44:29,206
<i>so as to be nearer his new friend.</i>

617
00:44:29,424 --> 00:44:31,797
Take Pitt Rivers...

618
00:44:32,844 --> 00:44:37,556
his language is twice, no ten times
more complicated than ours.

619
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,100
That's his problem

620
00:44:41,313 --> 00:44:44,897
in evolutionary terms,

621
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,114
according to Mr Angulo anyway

622
00:44:48,323 --> 00:44:50,151
and he knew his stuff.

623
00:44:50,368 --> 00:44:54,663
How can language be
an obstacle to culture?

624
00:44:54,998 --> 00:44:56,458
It can, Tania.

625
00:45:00,923 --> 00:45:02,297
You haven't seen
the stammerer?

626
00:45:02,508 --> 00:45:04,501
No, no stammer,

627
00:45:04,718 --> 00:45:07,211
no white shoes, no blue ring.

628
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:08,379
Please,

629
00:45:08,848 --> 00:45:11,970
don't forget to let me know,
he's crazy.

630
00:45:12,187 --> 00:45:13,598
He's not the only one.

631
00:45:13,814 --> 00:45:15,605
He really is crazy.

632
00:45:16,359 --> 00:45:18,399
What am I?

633
00:45:19,862 --> 00:45:22,402
Believe me, you're not crazy.

634
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:24,570
Can I kiss you?

635
00:45:25,871 --> 00:45:27,615
I'd prefer not.

636
00:45:29,708 --> 00:45:31,167
I have to go. I'll pay.

637
00:45:31,377 --> 00:45:33,537
No, no, it's my turn.

638
00:45:34,590 --> 00:45:36,133
I insist.

639
00:45:36,342 --> 00:45:37,256
Thank you.

640
00:45:44,894 --> 00:45:48,346
<i>Two weeks without
notable incident go by.</i>

641
00:45:58,078 --> 00:45:59,822
Do you think...

642
00:46:00,038 --> 00:46:02,790
it'll rain?

643
00:46:30,284 --> 00:46:31,565
You let me down.

644
00:46:32,538 --> 00:46:33,867
This is the last time.

645
00:46:35,125 --> 00:46:39,206
<i>The next day, our tramp
moves home again.</i>

646
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:43,170
I need your help, Arlette.
Is he there?

647
00:46:43,384 --> 00:46:44,464
Yes, Madam.

648
00:46:52,939 --> 00:46:55,016
He's there.

649
00:46:55,442 --> 00:46:57,269
<i>Every night before bed,</i>

650
00:46:57,861 --> 00:47:01,860
<i>Mrs Vickers watches the tramp
for half-an-hour.</i>

651
00:47:03,076 --> 00:47:07,240
<i>And every morning, first thing,
she goes to the window...</i>

652
00:47:08,249 --> 00:47:11,750
<i>and watches the tramp
for another half-hour.</i>

653
00:47:17,678 --> 00:47:18,876
Did he say anything?

654
00:47:19,847 --> 00:47:21,128
No, Madam.

655
00:47:22,434 --> 00:47:23,596
Not even thank you?

656
00:47:24,312 --> 00:47:25,687
He doesn't, Madam.

657
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,647
I want you to do me a favour,
Arlette, I need some binoculars.

658
00:47:33,741 --> 00:47:34,985
Today.

659
00:47:35,201 --> 00:47:36,446
Of course, Madam.

660
00:47:38,246 --> 00:47:40,453
<i>Mrs Vickers knows
her son is nearby.</i>

661
00:47:42,376 --> 00:47:45,996
<i>She could call him
but something holds her back.</i>

662
00:47:46,632 --> 00:47:47,961
<i>For two months,</i>

663
00:47:48,175 --> 00:47:51,461
<i>she watches his every move.</i>

664
00:47:52,431 --> 00:47:53,889
<i>In this way, she discovers</i>

665
00:47:54,099 --> 00:47:56,425
<i>that he earns as much as a tramp</i>

666
00:47:56,644 --> 00:48:00,938
<i>as he did at the Sorbonne,
a discovery which reassures her.</i>

667
00:48:02,193 --> 00:48:05,480
<i>Then one day
she decides to write to him.</i>

668
00:48:06,574 --> 00:48:10,488
"My dear child,
I know you are home.

669
00:48:10,746 --> 00:48:11,777
"You cannot imagine

670
00:48:11,996 --> 00:48:14,452
"how much this pleases me.

671
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,124
"I wish you were with me,

672
00:48:17,546 --> 00:48:20,831
"not perhaps every day
but from time to time,

673
00:48:21,050 --> 00:48:23,174
"or just once before I die.

674
00:48:23,804 --> 00:48:26,130
"You can live as you choose,

675
00:48:26,349 --> 00:48:30,512
"I know you are content,
you are prosperous,

676
00:48:31,229 --> 00:48:32,427
"but, please,

677
00:48:32,648 --> 00:48:35,056
"come back, just once,

678
00:48:35,526 --> 00:48:36,855
"love..."

679
00:48:49,628 --> 00:48:52,665
<i>Four days later,
Mrs Vickers dies.</i>

680
00:49:18,121 --> 00:49:20,957
<i>Seeing her coffin,
Vickers experiences</i>

681
00:49:21,168 --> 00:49:23,660
<i>a curious sense of nostalgia,</i>

682
00:49:24,631 --> 00:49:26,707
<i>as if he now understood</i>

683
00:49:26,924 --> 00:49:31,138
<i>that his carefree days were over.</i>

684
00:49:41,902 --> 00:49:43,730
<i>Now he will be prey</i>

685
00:49:43,947 --> 00:49:47,613
<i>to overwhelming responsibilities.</i>

686
00:49:48,910 --> 00:49:51,947
<i>The next day,
he resumed teaching</i>

687
00:49:52,164 --> 00:49:54,917
<i>negative anthropology
at the Sorbonne.</i>

688
00:49:56,670 --> 00:50:00,122
<i>Then one day,
the past caught up with him.</i>

689
00:50:00,341 --> 00:50:03,628
<i>In a tabloid,
he read all about Tania,</i>

690
00:50:03,847 --> 00:50:07,891
<i>currently in jail for attempting
to murder her husband.</i>

691
00:50:08,102 --> 00:50:11,720
<i>He also discovered that
the kind-hearted prostitute</i>

692
00:50:11,939 --> 00:50:15,985
<i>was in fact President
of a huge electrical corporation,</i>

693
00:50:16,947 --> 00:50:20,861
<i>driven to prostitution
by a perverted husband.</i>

694
00:50:21,868 --> 00:50:24,870
<i>The Professor used his influence.</i>

695
00:50:25,082 --> 00:50:30,078
<i>Within a few weeks
he had Tania out on bail.</i>

696
00:50:30,297 --> 00:50:33,548
<i>She was the only woman
with whom he had ever...</i>

697
00:50:33,758 --> 00:50:37,294
<i>come to share
a mutual trust and respect.</i>

698
00:50:38,598 --> 00:50:43,142
<i>They met in their old haunt.</i>

699
00:50:46,733 --> 00:50:47,813
So you recognized me.

700
00:50:48,028 --> 00:50:48,941
Immediately.

701
00:50:49,154 --> 00:50:50,649
I'm sure you're disappointed

702
00:50:50,864 --> 00:50:52,821
that I'm not the inspired tramp

703
00:50:53,033 --> 00:50:53,733
you helped.

704
00:50:53,952 --> 00:50:56,953
A little.
Aren't you shocked to find out

705
00:50:57,163 --> 00:50:58,706
I'm only a businesswoman?

706
00:50:58,915 --> 00:50:59,615
A bit.

707
00:51:00,168 --> 00:51:03,372
Can I ask... your husband?

708
00:51:04,047 --> 00:51:05,791
I divorced him long ago.

709
00:51:06,008 --> 00:51:08,963
He won't accept it.
Perhaps now.

710
00:51:09,345 --> 00:51:11,671
So there's no reason not to...

711
00:51:12,183 --> 00:51:14,010
Marry me? None.

712
00:51:14,853 --> 00:51:16,514
Maybe my age?

713
00:51:16,939 --> 00:51:18,053
Maybe.

714
00:51:18,607 --> 00:51:22,441
But there are
more important things in life.

715
00:51:22,655 --> 00:51:26,070
A man who's dropped out
and sunk so low

716
00:51:26,284 --> 00:51:28,740
is no nobody.
That's what I like in you,

717
00:51:28,953 --> 00:51:31,362
that you sink so low.

718
00:51:31,582 --> 00:51:34,369
We've that in common.
Like Don Juan said,

719
00:51:34,586 --> 00:51:38,039
there's nothing like
two worlds touching.

720
00:51:38,258 --> 00:51:40,547
- Who?
- Don Juan.

721
00:51:40,761 --> 00:51:43,548
You know, Castaneda's
Mexican wizard...

722
00:51:43,764 --> 00:51:46,469
Please! Don't let

723
00:51:46,684 --> 00:51:49,437
Carlos Castaneda
come between us.

724
00:51:50,564 --> 00:51:51,595
When shall we get married?

725
00:51:52,150 --> 00:51:53,396
As soon as possible.

726
00:51:53,609 --> 00:51:56,528
I want to start yet
another new life.

727
00:51:56,738 --> 00:51:57,734
Waiter!

728
00:52:03,331 --> 00:52:06,367
<i>So they spent
six passionate months together.</i>

729
00:52:08,504 --> 00:52:11,755
...and at Pont-à-Mousson,
to compensate for

730
00:52:11,967 --> 00:52:14,126
losses in that sector.

731
00:52:14,344 --> 00:52:15,459
<i>But, as you'd expect</i>

732
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,507
<i>two such backgrounds</i>

733
00:52:17,724 --> 00:52:20,511
<i>had trouble co-existing.</i>

734
00:52:23,148 --> 00:52:24,096
<i>Now it is 10.45.</i>

735
00:52:25,399 --> 00:52:27,891
<i>It is the first Friday in the month.
Professor Vickers</i>

736
00:52:28,111 --> 00:52:31,148
<i>ascends the main staircase
at the Sorbonne.</i>

737
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,157
<i>He pauses on the stairs,</i>

738
00:52:34,828 --> 00:52:36,786
<i>not knowing why.</i>

739
00:52:37,915 --> 00:52:41,119
<i>Then he turns round
and goes back down.</i>

740
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:46,415
I love you, Carlos.

741
00:52:47,971 --> 00:52:49,763
Remember, darling.

742
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,353
You've forgotten something,
darling.

743
00:53:05,701 --> 00:53:07,659
<i>Leaving the building,
he hears a bell.</i>

744
00:53:08,621 --> 00:53:12,287
<i>This bell reminds him
of something.</i>

745
00:53:13,460 --> 00:53:14,492
<i>But what?</i>

746
00:53:15,672 --> 00:53:18,839
<i>Then he sees a man
selling chestnuts.</i>

747
00:53:19,469 --> 00:53:23,763
<i>These two images
profoundly disturb him.</i>

748
00:53:23,975 --> 00:53:27,141
<i>He knows he must now
leave and fast.</i>

749
00:53:31,608 --> 00:53:33,815
<i>Here he is
in the Père Lachaise cemetery.</i>

750
00:53:34,029 --> 00:53:37,363
<i>He wanders around ceaselessly,
all night,</i>

751
00:53:37,575 --> 00:53:39,817
<i>pacing around his mother's tomb.</i>

752
00:53:40,912 --> 00:53:43,665
<i>Meanwhile, Tania waits.</i>

753
00:53:57,266 --> 00:54:00,932
I've brought you some goldfish.

754
00:54:04,441 --> 00:54:07,396
Can I come in?

755
00:54:07,612 --> 00:54:11,029
You've got a nerve, I must say.

756
00:54:11,618 --> 00:54:12,993
Thank you.

757
00:54:18,668 --> 00:54:20,411
How elegant...

758
00:54:20,628 --> 00:54:23,334
how distinguished.

759
00:54:23,591 --> 00:54:24,966
Do you think so?

760
00:54:25,217 --> 00:54:28,884
Georges has good taste.
He is very refined.

761
00:54:29,097 --> 00:54:31,767
Refined and perverted.

762
00:54:31,977 --> 00:54:34,516
You're refined

763
00:54:35,647 --> 00:54:36,846
and perverted too.

764
00:54:37,609 --> 00:54:39,020
If you say so.

765
00:54:41,155 --> 00:54:44,490
Right. You must know
who sent me.

766
00:54:46,703 --> 00:54:50,322
- Go on.
- There's something you might like.

767
00:54:51,251 --> 00:54:52,449
Look.

768
00:55:15,157 --> 00:55:17,066
So they did it!

769
00:55:17,284 --> 00:55:19,857
I knew you'd be interested.

770
00:55:22,748 --> 00:55:24,789
I don't know what to say.

771
00:55:25,002 --> 00:55:27,459
Just say yes.

772
00:55:34,263 --> 00:55:35,806
When is it?

773
00:55:36,016 --> 00:55:40,929
Tonight. There's another session
in 3 days, but not as good.

774
00:55:41,148 --> 00:55:44,896
I couldn't possibly.
Georges will be back any minute.

775
00:55:45,110 --> 00:55:46,770
Perhaps he'll like it?

776
00:55:46,988 --> 00:55:48,696
It's not his thing.

777
00:55:49,116 --> 00:55:51,689
If he finds out who I am,
he'll die.

778
00:55:54,038 --> 00:55:56,826
That's not the point.

779
00:55:57,042 --> 00:56:01,835
The point is you are what you are.

780
00:56:02,049 --> 00:56:03,294
Look.

781
00:56:10,351 --> 00:56:13,721
I think this is
as far as you can go.

782
00:56:13,939 --> 00:56:15,897
But this is incredible!

783
00:56:16,109 --> 00:56:19,313
These people are crazy...
totally crazy.

784
00:56:19,987 --> 00:56:24,033
So what do you make of it?

785
00:56:25,037 --> 00:56:26,317
How much is it?

786
00:56:26,538 --> 00:56:28,947
In this business, the cost is...

787
00:56:29,167 --> 00:56:32,501
the only thing that's sensible.

788
00:56:43,351 --> 00:56:44,383
Is it you?

789
00:56:45,312 --> 00:56:46,511
Thank you Miss.

790
00:56:46,730 --> 00:56:47,844
Thank you!

791
00:56:48,066 --> 00:56:51,481
Thank you. Sleep well.
Nice dreams.

792
00:56:52,112 --> 00:56:53,690
You've never said thank you.

793
00:56:53,905 --> 00:56:56,029
I don't beg for myself.

794
00:56:56,243 --> 00:56:58,568
I beg for others.

795
00:56:58,871 --> 00:57:00,282
Do you still love me?

796
00:57:00,498 --> 00:57:01,909
Very much.

797
00:57:02,542 --> 00:57:07,965
I love all human kind. Specially
the dispossessed, the homeless.

798
00:57:08,842 --> 00:57:12,426
I've given everything away.
No, don't worry.

799
00:57:12,637 --> 00:57:14,631
You can keep the house...

800
00:57:15,391 --> 00:57:19,686
and I've left you an income
in case, you know, things...

801
00:57:20,063 --> 00:57:21,012
go wrong.

802
00:57:23,318 --> 00:57:26,771
I can manage on my own.
I wanted you for

803
00:57:27,115 --> 00:57:29,654
your culture,
your sweetness.

804
00:57:29,867 --> 00:57:31,243
Thank you Miss.

805
00:57:31,620 --> 00:57:34,242
Please, Georges,
don't thank me.

806
00:57:34,665 --> 00:57:38,331
It's not me,
I'm thanking you on behalf...

807
00:57:38,712 --> 00:57:40,420
of all the poor people.

808
00:57:40,632 --> 00:57:42,008
Can we go have a drink?

809
00:57:42,383 --> 00:57:44,543
I can't. There's...

810
00:57:44,762 --> 00:57:47,764
a Mass for the homeless,
I can't miss it.

811
00:57:49,476 --> 00:57:51,055
Farewell Georges.

812
00:57:52,855 --> 00:57:55,311
Farewell and thank you.

813
00:58:02,283 --> 00:58:03,694
Do you love me?

814
00:58:04,453 --> 00:58:05,568
Of course.

815
00:58:05,789 --> 00:58:09,489
Promise to stop reading
Carlos Castaneda.

816
00:58:09,710 --> 00:58:12,665
But I like Carlos Castaneda.

817
00:58:25,063 --> 00:58:27,899
The foundations of the story

818
00:58:28,109 --> 00:58:30,481
we are about to tell
are as follows.

819
00:58:30,695 --> 00:58:34,397
Extreme happiness
is a form of misery,

820
00:58:34,616 --> 00:58:36,443
extreme generosity

821
00:58:36,660 --> 00:58:39,615
is a form of tyranny.

822
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:44,122
As before, this is a true story,

823
00:58:44,337 --> 00:58:48,419
so true it has taken place not once,
but several times,

824
00:58:48,633 --> 00:58:51,469
always in Paris,
almost always in summer,

825
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,349
and often some place near you.

826
00:58:54,767 --> 00:58:57,057
Let us suspend disbelief...

827
00:58:57,270 --> 00:59:01,898
and call on ever insufficient
supplies of scepticism

828
00:59:02,110 --> 00:59:03,521
for stories like these

829
00:59:04,237 --> 00:59:05,862
<i>are contagious.</i>

830
00:59:07,532 --> 00:59:09,775
<i>The scene is a suburb
near Paris.</i>

831
00:59:09,994 --> 00:59:11,786
<i>It is 5am.</i>

832
00:59:12,163 --> 00:59:15,200
<i>A young couple
is fleeing a château.</i>

833
00:59:15,418 --> 00:59:16,996
<i>They are not thieves.</i>

834
00:59:17,212 --> 00:59:20,214
<i>They are the legal owners
of the château.</i>

835
00:59:20,842 --> 00:59:25,136
<i>What has driven them
to this decision?</i>

836
00:59:25,514 --> 00:59:29,643
<i>In order to find out, we must
turn the clock back six months.</i>

837
00:59:29,852 --> 00:59:33,020
According to my late client's
arrangements,

838
00:59:33,817 --> 00:59:36,734
and his identity
must remain a secret,

839
00:59:37,237 --> 00:59:40,404
you inherit a house in the suburbs.

840
00:59:41,076 --> 00:59:44,694
It is comfortable,
most comfortable.

841
00:59:45,331 --> 00:59:48,996
You will also have money
for the rest of your lives,

842
00:59:49,669 --> 00:59:51,959
which I trust will be many years.

843
00:59:55,761 --> 00:59:57,172
Here are the keys.

844
00:59:57,429 --> 00:59:59,221
You may move in as of now.

845
00:59:59,432 --> 01:00:01,591
<i>But let us begin
at the beginning.</i>

846
01:00:01,809 --> 01:00:03,767
<i>Our tale starts
three months earlier.</i>

847
01:00:04,938 --> 01:00:07,097
<i>Like all stories, it slips into...</i>

848
01:00:07,316 --> 01:00:10,652
<i>the lives of its characters
gradually</i>

849
01:00:10,863 --> 01:00:13,699
<i>like certain incurable diseases.</i>

850
01:00:14,034 --> 01:00:16,870
<i>Cecile and Martin are, of course,
in love.</i>

851
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,405
<i>Their love is all-consuming.</i>

852
01:00:19,791 --> 01:00:23,207
<i>But now a cloud has cast a shadow
over their lives.</i>

853
01:00:23,421 --> 01:00:25,165
<i>They feel watched,</i>

854
01:00:25,924 --> 01:00:27,419
<i>they feel followed.</i>

855
01:00:27,635 --> 01:00:29,009
Look who's there.

856
01:00:29,928 --> 01:00:31,720
He's been following us.

857
01:00:35,770 --> 01:00:37,514
<i>Some days later,</i>

858
01:00:37,771 --> 01:00:40,559
<i>they receive
a mysterious envelope.</i>

859
01:00:40,859 --> 01:00:43,184
<i>In it, they find 2000 francs</i>

860
01:00:43,403 --> 01:00:45,610
<i>and a message which is meant</i>

861
01:00:45,824 --> 01:00:48,232
<i>to be reassuring but isn't.</i>

862
01:00:49,077 --> 01:00:50,786
<i>"Till Monday...</i>

863
01:00:51,540 --> 01:00:53,034
<i>"God-willing."</i>

864
01:00:54,085 --> 01:00:57,121
<i>2000 francs per week
is more than they need</i>

865
01:00:57,339 --> 01:00:58,750
<i>to be happy.</i>

866
01:00:58,965 --> 01:00:59,914
Really that many?

867
01:01:00,133 --> 01:01:01,960
Inly joking, love.

868
01:01:02,177 --> 01:01:03,553
You're a meany.

869
01:01:07,851 --> 01:01:08,930
I've overdone it.

870
01:01:09,145 --> 01:01:10,640
You couldn't.

871
01:01:20,033 --> 01:01:23,617
<i>It's been 3 weeks.
Every Monday an envelope comes.</i>

872
01:01:23,831 --> 01:01:25,372
<i>They always find</i>

873
01:01:25,582 --> 01:01:28,038
<i>2000 francs,
with the same words...</i>

874
01:01:28,293 --> 01:01:31,212
<i>"Till Monday, God-willing."</i>

875
01:01:32,841 --> 01:01:37,588
<i>They spend most of their time now
saying nice things to one another...</i>

876
01:01:37,807 --> 01:01:40,049
<i>which bothers the neighbours.</i>

877
01:01:40,267 --> 01:01:42,889
<i>Particularly one,
a student of thermodynamics.</i>

878
01:01:43,105 --> 01:01:46,641
<i>Like all thermodynamics students,
Piotr is a sex maniac.</i>

879
01:01:46,860 --> 01:01:51,274
<i>To make the most of this,
he works for a sexy message service.</i>

880
01:01:51,490 --> 01:01:54,243
<i>He has to deal
with exciting questions,</i>

881
01:01:54,452 --> 01:01:57,026
<i>sometimes up to three at a time,</i>

882
01:01:57,248 --> 01:02:00,748
<i>so his neighbours'games
are bound to put him off.</i>

883
01:02:03,047 --> 01:02:05,003
Stop it,
Gaspard doesn't like it.

884
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,675
And the meat'll be cold.

885
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:19,721
Stop it! Stop it!

886
01:02:21,654 --> 01:02:23,694
Here! Here!

887
01:02:38,842 --> 01:02:40,420
What time will you be home?

888
01:02:40,635 --> 01:02:42,711
I won't be more than two hours.

889
01:02:43,181 --> 01:02:45,754
I have to do it,
it's for both of us.

890
01:02:48,645 --> 01:02:51,018
Can't I come too?

891
01:02:51,732 --> 01:02:53,772
You won't notice me.

892
01:02:54,487 --> 01:02:56,480
It wouldn't look right.

893
01:02:56,698 --> 01:02:58,489
Do you like leaving me here?

894
01:02:58,700 --> 01:03:00,694
No, I swear.

895
01:03:00,911 --> 01:03:02,572
Give me a kiss then.

896
01:03:02,831 --> 01:03:04,242
Ine last kiss.

897
01:03:07,878 --> 01:03:09,076
Now I must go.

898
01:03:09,297 --> 01:03:11,539
You always have time for others.

899
01:03:11,759 --> 01:03:14,381
That's unfair.

900
01:03:19,934 --> 01:03:22,177
Stop it, someone will see.

901
01:03:23,022 --> 01:03:24,267
Right. I'm going.

902
01:03:31,116 --> 01:03:32,611
What is it?

903
01:03:35,831 --> 01:03:38,997
I'm sorry
I'm so hard to live with.

904
01:03:39,209 --> 01:03:41,499
You're not. You're easy.

905
01:03:43,590 --> 01:03:44,586
Goodbye.

906
01:03:52,852 --> 01:03:56,602
Can I come to the stairs?
Inly to the stairs, I promise.

907
01:03:56,814 --> 01:03:58,190
Of course you can.

908
01:03:58,567 --> 01:04:00,109
I'd love it.

909
01:04:15,672 --> 01:04:16,703
Hello.

910
01:04:18,884 --> 01:04:21,292
Excuse me, I'd like a word.

911
01:04:21,512 --> 01:04:23,470
- What?
- It's nothing.

912
01:04:23,683 --> 01:04:26,388
Just a technical problem.
Come in.

913
01:04:26,685 --> 01:04:27,551
Me?

914
01:04:28,981 --> 01:04:31,223
I'm sorry about the mess.

915
01:04:31,442 --> 01:04:35,441
- All these books...
- I'm writing a thesis you see.

916
01:04:35,656 --> 01:04:37,317
That must be a lot of work.

917
01:04:37,532 --> 01:04:39,276
It is. Sit down.

918
01:04:39,494 --> 01:04:41,487
I think I'd better get home.

919
01:04:41,704 --> 01:04:45,121
It won't take a minute.
It's just technical.

920
01:04:47,420 --> 01:04:48,915
Don't move.

921
01:04:55,931 --> 01:04:57,390
Can you hear me?

922
01:04:57,684 --> 01:04:59,179
I hear you.

923
01:04:59,393 --> 01:05:01,470
When I say, "I love you",

924
01:05:01,689 --> 01:05:03,397
can you hear me?

925
01:05:04,818 --> 01:05:06,610
When I say...

926
01:05:07,862 --> 01:05:09,487
"I want you,

927
01:05:10,241 --> 01:05:13,159
I want you now, I love you",

928
01:05:13,704 --> 01:05:15,532
can you still hear me?

929
01:05:20,754 --> 01:05:23,377
I'm so sorry, I understand now.

930
01:05:32,435 --> 01:05:34,594
Miss? Can you hear me?

931
01:05:34,980 --> 01:05:37,520
I'm sorry, I'm a bit abrupt.

932
01:05:38,610 --> 01:05:41,944
No, it's me, we must have
disrupted your work.

933
01:05:42,156 --> 01:05:45,408
You did. But you can easily
make up for it.

934
01:05:45,620 --> 01:05:48,076
Allow me to visit you.

935
01:05:48,707 --> 01:05:51,329
You must come.
Martin will be so pleased.

936
01:05:51,543 --> 01:05:53,204
Why not now?

937
01:05:54,547 --> 01:05:56,671
I don't know what to say.

938
01:06:16,784 --> 01:06:19,571
I've brought sweets.
Like in the song.

939
01:06:19,787 --> 01:06:21,910
- Which song?
- Never mind.

940
01:06:22,124 --> 01:06:25,659
And chocolate cookies.
I hope you like chocolate.

941
01:06:25,879 --> 01:06:28,833
I don't usually,
but if you'd like me to...

942
01:06:29,215 --> 01:06:31,921
That's right, what I like
is what counts.

943
01:06:32,554 --> 01:06:33,965
Of course.

944
01:06:34,681 --> 01:06:35,630
Are you Russian?

945
01:06:35,849 --> 01:06:37,224
Argentinean.

946
01:06:43,901 --> 01:06:45,729
<i>Martin is looking for work.</i>

947
01:06:46,196 --> 01:06:48,022
<i>He's got a lead.</i>

948
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,862
<i>Instead of the usual,
Monday's letter</i>

949
01:06:51,076 --> 01:06:53,949
<i>contained an odd message:</i>

950
01:06:54,163 --> 01:06:57,865
<i>"Try Rue de Maastricht".</i>

951
01:06:58,836 --> 01:07:02,122
<i>Without thinking,
as a matter of course,</i>

952
01:07:02,341 --> 01:07:05,627
<i>Martin decided to put
his leaflets out round there.</i>

953
01:07:05,846 --> 01:07:09,132
<i>It was as if
he was obeying orders.</i>

954
01:07:30,043 --> 01:07:31,703
Hi there! It's me!

955
01:07:51,444 --> 01:07:53,236
You look lovely...

956
01:07:53,448 --> 01:07:55,155
even lovelier.

957
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,656
I have to tell you something.

958
01:07:58,949 --> 01:08:00,325
You don't love me?

959
01:08:02,453 --> 01:08:06,202
Of course I do.
More than ever.

960
01:08:07,460 --> 01:08:08,657
Well then?

961
01:08:09,379 --> 01:08:11,207
I've done something awful.

962
01:08:11,423 --> 01:08:13,796
It can't be that bad.

963
01:08:14,761 --> 01:08:17,882
I slept with Piotr,
the man next door.

964
01:08:18,391 --> 01:08:20,598
The thermodynamics student?

965
01:08:24,314 --> 01:08:26,390
He gave me sweets
and chocolates...

966
01:08:26,609 --> 01:08:28,437
It was so nice.

967
01:08:29,697 --> 01:08:31,357
I'm sure.

968
01:08:31,949 --> 01:08:34,108
So when he said let's make love,

969
01:08:34,327 --> 01:08:37,199
I wanted to be nice.

970
01:08:37,414 --> 01:08:39,288
Just to be nice.

971
01:08:39,542 --> 01:08:41,500
Of course I understand.

972
01:08:42,462 --> 01:08:44,004
Can you forgive me?

973
01:08:46,927 --> 01:08:48,421
Of course.

974
01:08:49,096 --> 01:08:50,887
You've done nothing wrong.

975
01:08:51,140 --> 01:08:52,801
Nor has he.

976
01:08:53,517 --> 01:08:55,677
It's very understandable.

977
01:08:56,480 --> 01:08:59,647
We'll ask him to breakfast.

978
01:09:00,527 --> 01:09:02,935
We'll be best friends.

979
01:09:20,593 --> 01:09:21,673
Do you mind my watching?

980
01:09:23,221 --> 01:09:25,345
I love seeing people work.

981
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,973
How long is it
since you redecorated?

982
01:09:28,353 --> 01:09:29,729
Lh... years.

983
01:09:30,022 --> 01:09:31,516
Since my husband died.

984
01:09:32,108 --> 01:09:34,647
I mean, since I heard he'd died.

985
01:09:35,695 --> 01:09:37,772
It's a long story.

986
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:39,700
You've been very unlucky.

987
01:09:40,244 --> 01:09:42,118
That's life.

988
01:09:42,330 --> 01:09:43,574
No it isn't.

989
01:09:43,790 --> 01:09:48,370
Life is full of surprises
and pleasures, it's beautiful.

990
01:09:49,338 --> 01:09:50,749
I enjoy life.

991
01:09:52,300 --> 01:09:54,127
We have no choice anyway.

992
01:09:57,139 --> 01:09:58,171
Sorry. I'm being dull.

993
01:09:58,392 --> 01:10:01,477
- Not at all.
- You like seeing people work...

994
01:10:02,147 --> 01:10:03,558
and here I am doing nothing.

995
01:10:04,899 --> 01:10:06,940
Do you want a drink?

996
01:10:07,236 --> 01:10:08,482
I shouldn't.

997
01:10:09,448 --> 01:10:12,899
I used to drink...
but now I've stopped.

998
01:10:13,119 --> 01:10:15,195
Cecile didn't like it.

999
01:10:15,412 --> 01:10:16,823
She won't let you drink?

1000
01:10:17,039 --> 01:10:17,988
No, it's not that.

1001
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,993
I've some cold champagne.

1002
01:10:21,587 --> 01:10:23,498
Not real champagne but...

1003
01:10:23,714 --> 01:10:25,921
Just a drop then.

1004
01:10:34,354 --> 01:10:35,385
Shall I open it?

1005
01:10:35,604 --> 01:10:36,933
Please.

1006
01:10:57,716 --> 01:10:58,795
Who was that?

1007
01:10:59,010 --> 01:11:01,253
Someone who got the wrong floor.

1008
01:11:01,888 --> 01:11:03,051
Cheers!

1009
01:11:09,815 --> 01:11:13,268
I haven't had a drink with a man
in years.

1010
01:11:13,528 --> 01:11:15,438
Not a young man.

1011
01:11:16,198 --> 01:11:18,524
Young and charming, like you.

1012
01:11:29,215 --> 01:11:32,549
<i>It's past midnight
by the time Martin gets home.</i>

1013
01:11:35,515 --> 01:11:38,184
<i>Cecile has been waiting
all afternoon.</i>

1014
01:11:43,316 --> 01:11:45,938
<i>She has had a call
from a stranger</i>

1015
01:11:46,152 --> 01:11:49,855
<i>advising her to contact
an import-export company</i>

1016
01:11:50,074 --> 01:11:54,322
<i>which has offered her
a steady, well-paid job.</i>

1017
01:11:54,622 --> 01:11:57,077
<i>Martin's news, however,</i>

1018
01:11:57,291 --> 01:11:59,865
<i>is much less good.</i>

1019
01:12:25,828 --> 01:12:28,534
I have to tell you something.

1020
01:12:30,250 --> 01:12:31,827
You don't love me?

1021
01:12:32,044 --> 01:12:33,787
Of course I do.

1022
01:12:34,713 --> 01:12:37,169
I love you more than ever.

1023
01:12:39,094 --> 01:12:41,253
You slept with someone.

1024
01:12:42,766 --> 01:12:44,593
How did you guess?

1025
01:12:45,770 --> 01:12:47,313
I don't know.

1026
01:12:48,105 --> 01:12:49,516
A hunch.

1027
01:12:49,733 --> 01:12:52,984
She's very Ionely, very kind.

1028
01:12:53,445 --> 01:12:56,317
I couldn't turn her down
when she asked.

1029
01:12:57,701 --> 01:12:59,610
You did well my love.

1030
01:12:59,870 --> 01:13:01,530
Can you forgive me?

1031
01:13:01,789 --> 01:13:04,281
I'm sure she's a fine person.

1032
01:13:04,711 --> 01:13:08,079
You've done nothing wrong.
Nor has she.

1033
01:13:18,393 --> 01:13:20,766
Sir, after consulting

1034
01:13:20,981 --> 01:13:25,690
our partners in Luxembourg,
and considering our recent profits,

1035
01:13:26,405 --> 01:13:31,447
we can consider expanding
our plant to service

1036
01:13:31,661 --> 01:13:34,996
the East European market:

1037
01:13:35,206 --> 01:13:39,586
The Czech Republic, Poland,
Hungary, Romania,

1038
01:13:40,588 --> 01:13:43,044
as demand is progressing

1039
01:13:43,259 --> 01:13:46,628
with respect to
mechanical vegetable processors.

1040
01:13:47,181 --> 01:13:50,681
You obviously lack experience.

1041
01:13:51,060 --> 01:13:52,340
I'll learn, Madam.

1042
01:13:52,563 --> 01:13:53,808
I'm sure you will.

1043
01:13:54,022 --> 01:13:57,890
You've been recommended
by someone I'm very fond of.

1044
01:13:58,110 --> 01:13:59,226
Really?

1045
01:13:59,864 --> 01:14:01,940
May I ask whom, Madam?

1046
01:14:02,157 --> 01:14:04,281
He'd rather remain anonymous.

1047
01:14:05,578 --> 01:14:06,658
I understand.

1048
01:14:08,082 --> 01:14:09,791
I love it.

1049
01:14:11,003 --> 01:14:13,292
Such sweet clumsiness.

1050
01:14:13,672 --> 01:14:15,831
What do you think, darling?

1051
01:14:16,884 --> 01:14:20,053
You always find
just the right words.

1052
01:14:21,766 --> 01:14:24,636
Sweet and clumsy.

1053
01:14:25,395 --> 01:14:27,471
Mechanical vegetable processors,

1054
01:14:27,690 --> 01:14:32,318
electrical citrus squeezers,
ginger-graters, on condition...

1055
01:14:33,239 --> 01:14:36,276
Tell me,
lovely and fresh as you are,

1056
01:14:36,493 --> 01:14:38,486
you must have a boyfriend?

1057
01:14:38,828 --> 01:14:42,032
I'm engaged, Madam.
We'll be married in the fall.

1058
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,460
Wonderful.

1059
01:14:46,171 --> 01:14:48,627
Just what we need.

1060
01:14:49,383 --> 01:14:52,634
And your boyfriend, is he...

1061
01:14:53,056 --> 01:14:55,214
as sweet and clumsy as you are?

1062
01:14:55,516 --> 01:14:58,886
I don't know, Madam.
He's very nice.

1063
01:15:01,691 --> 01:15:03,731
We'd love to meet him.

1064
01:15:09,993 --> 01:15:10,989
You're late.

1065
01:15:11,203 --> 01:15:12,697
I've brought you some flowers.

1066
01:15:13,122 --> 01:15:16,658
My favourite... how sweet.

1067
01:15:17,169 --> 01:15:19,661
They're from my girlfriend.

1068
01:15:20,715 --> 01:15:21,995
Your girlfriend?

1069
01:15:23,219 --> 01:15:24,678
Of course.

1070
01:15:27,307 --> 01:15:28,850
We have the same taste.

1071
01:15:32,062 --> 01:15:33,309
You love her?

1072
01:15:33,523 --> 01:15:36,810
Very much.
We'll be married in the fall.

1073
01:15:39,196 --> 01:15:42,947
She knows about us.
She thinks you're very brave.

1074
01:15:43,535 --> 01:15:45,575
I hope you'll make friends.

1075
01:15:46,957 --> 01:15:48,535
I've brought her photo.

1076
01:15:56,594 --> 01:15:58,836
What am I supposed to do with it?

1077
01:16:01,391 --> 01:16:04,096
I thought you'd like it.

1078
01:16:04,938 --> 01:16:06,018
Really?

1079
01:16:07,233 --> 01:16:08,692
Was I wrong?

1080
01:16:09,068 --> 01:16:09,768
Yes.

1081
01:16:10,904 --> 01:16:11,900
Very wrong?

1082
01:16:12,990 --> 01:16:13,820
Yes.

1083
01:16:14,242 --> 01:16:15,404
Why?

1084
01:16:16,328 --> 01:16:17,526
You can't be that stupid!

1085
01:16:18,830 --> 01:16:20,538
I am, I'm very stupid.

1086
01:16:21,334 --> 01:16:23,374
Glad to hear you say so.

1087
01:16:23,754 --> 01:16:24,619
I've offended you?

1088
01:16:25,421 --> 01:16:26,620
What do you think?

1089
01:16:30,469 --> 01:16:34,090
Cecile's right. I'm so stupid
I mess everything up.

1090
01:16:34,309 --> 01:16:35,470
She's always right.

1091
01:16:35,684 --> 01:16:37,228
Have you encountered her?

1092
01:16:38,563 --> 01:16:40,474
Why are you so formal?

1093
01:16:40,774 --> 01:16:42,482
Cecile prefers it that way.

1094
01:16:43,654 --> 01:16:45,065
Have you told her about me?

1095
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,946
Naturally. At first she almost
thought it was fun.

1096
01:16:49,201 --> 01:16:51,194
Then she changed her mind.

1097
01:16:52,497 --> 01:16:53,826
Are you surprised?

1098
01:16:54,458 --> 01:16:58,042
Usually she's very tolerant.

1099
01:16:59,090 --> 01:17:00,120
Really?

1100
01:17:02,094 --> 01:17:03,921
Do you know each other?

1101
01:17:05,013 --> 01:17:06,294
I won't say.

1102
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:13,221
Can I do something,
to apologize I mean?

1103
01:17:15,027 --> 01:17:16,402
Make love to me.

1104
01:17:17,697 --> 01:17:20,152
Certainly.
But it's the last time.

1105
01:17:23,037 --> 01:17:24,200
Thanks. I know.

1106
01:17:24,414 --> 01:17:27,534
We'll still be friends.

1107
01:17:29,753 --> 01:17:31,129
I doubt it.

1108
01:17:32,005 --> 01:17:33,999
And the jobs you promised me?

1109
01:17:34,217 --> 01:17:35,711
I don't think so.

1110
01:17:38,765 --> 01:17:40,424
Shall we make love anyway?

1111
01:17:41,060 --> 01:17:42,138
Yes.

1112
01:17:42,937 --> 01:17:45,938
And thank you for the flowers.
They are lovely.

1113
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,784
We're offering you an opportunity.

1114
01:17:56,995 --> 01:18:01,161
It will be very useful
in your future life.

1115
01:18:01,877 --> 01:18:03,751
Your life as a young couple.

1116
01:18:03,963 --> 01:18:06,750
We love young couples.

1117
01:18:06,967 --> 01:18:08,592
Do you know many?

1118
01:18:08,803 --> 01:18:11,425
We used to.

1119
01:18:12,975 --> 01:18:16,060
It's nice to see older people
who like youth.

1120
01:18:16,271 --> 01:18:17,184
As you say...

1121
01:18:17,397 --> 01:18:19,769
We only see people our own age.

1122
01:18:19,983 --> 01:18:23,151
And do you have adventures?

1123
01:18:23,363 --> 01:18:25,522
Adventures, not really.

1124
01:18:26,241 --> 01:18:28,912
We used to party in the catacombs.

1125
01:18:29,119 --> 01:18:30,115
I love it!

1126
01:18:30,914 --> 01:18:33,453
Forgive the indiscretion...

1127
01:18:33,667 --> 01:18:36,953
Do you have affairs...

1128
01:18:37,172 --> 01:18:41,252
with other couples?

1129
01:18:44,096 --> 01:18:45,259
Very occasionally.

1130
01:18:45,474 --> 01:18:46,885
We're very careful.

1131
01:18:48,268 --> 01:18:50,227
You're scared of the erotic?

1132
01:18:51,189 --> 01:18:56,267
No, eroticism is essential
to the harmony of our partnership.

1133
01:18:56,696 --> 01:18:58,024
What do you think Martin?

1134
01:18:58,240 --> 01:18:59,735
I agree, Cecile.

1135
01:19:00,617 --> 01:19:04,071
I'm starting to find them
irritating.

1136
01:19:06,792 --> 01:19:08,915
But you're young and free!

1137
01:19:09,546 --> 01:19:11,338
We're together.
Right, Martin?

1138
01:19:11,923 --> 01:19:14,249
Sometimes that bothers people.

1139
01:19:14,469 --> 01:19:17,839
People are silly,
but I don't hate them for it.

1140
01:19:18,057 --> 01:19:21,308
I can't take this.

1141
01:19:22,687 --> 01:19:24,312
Have we said something wrong?

1142
01:19:24,522 --> 01:19:25,899
Not at all.

1143
01:19:26,109 --> 01:19:28,481
We wanted you to stay over.

1144
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:29,896
I see.

1145
01:19:31,324 --> 01:19:32,354
We made a mistake.

1146
01:19:32,575 --> 01:19:34,733
Why? Staying over sounds fun.

1147
01:19:34,952 --> 01:19:36,827
Anyway it's late.
The subway's shut.

1148
01:19:37,749 --> 01:19:41,698
Ince we slept with four friends.
We all slept brilliantly.

1149
01:19:42,211 --> 01:19:44,704
Did it give you a kick?

1150
01:19:46,259 --> 01:19:49,012
- Did it, Martin?
- I'd had too much to drink.

1151
01:19:49,679 --> 01:19:51,009
Now I don't drink.

1152
01:19:51,224 --> 01:19:54,011
He was different when he drank.

1153
01:19:54,811 --> 01:19:58,097
I used to get mean.
Now I don't drink.

1154
01:20:00,985 --> 01:20:03,857
We're wasting our time.

1155
01:20:04,072 --> 01:20:07,526
We can stay if you like.
We'd love to, really.

1156
01:20:07,745 --> 01:20:09,572
What do you think, Martin?

1157
01:20:10,497 --> 01:20:11,874
I agree.

1158
01:20:13,710 --> 01:20:14,909
Did I say the wrong thing?

1159
01:20:16,005 --> 01:20:17,168
You're a darling.

1160
01:20:18,175 --> 01:20:21,627
You're both charming.
But you're not sexy.

1161
01:20:21,845 --> 01:20:22,509
Really?

1162
01:20:23,847 --> 01:20:26,601
We've been told that before,
remember?

1163
01:20:27,854 --> 01:20:32,102
Excuse me. I've got to think
of something for my husband.

1164
01:20:32,316 --> 01:20:33,728
Please feel at home.

1165
01:20:38,908 --> 01:20:40,818
<i>The next day is a Monday.</i>

1166
01:20:41,037 --> 01:20:43,326
<i>A bad surprise is in store.</i>

1167
01:20:45,875 --> 01:20:48,663
- You sure there was nothing?
- Yes.

1168
01:20:48,962 --> 01:20:51,716
But today is a normal Monday.

1169
01:20:52,551 --> 01:20:54,509
Maybe someone took it?

1170
01:20:54,721 --> 01:20:58,636
No one does that here, do they?

1171
01:21:00,019 --> 01:21:03,223
I wish I hadn't said it.

1172
01:21:04,275 --> 01:21:06,351
- Can you forgive me?
- Of course I can.

1173
01:21:08,696 --> 01:21:09,775
Let's eat.

1174
01:21:10,574 --> 01:21:11,903
<i>Winter is on the way.</i>

1175
01:21:12,410 --> 01:21:14,617
<i>But they somehow know</i>

1176
01:21:14,830 --> 01:21:17,321
<i>someone will come to the rescue.</i>

1177
01:21:17,541 --> 01:21:20,460
<i>And once again,
fate proves them right.</i>

1178
01:21:20,879 --> 01:21:23,715
<i>One Monday, the envelope returns.</i>

1179
01:21:24,466 --> 01:21:28,381
<i>They open it and discover
their protector has died</i>

1180
01:21:28,596 --> 01:21:32,180
<i>remembering them in his will.</i>

1181
01:21:33,143 --> 01:21:34,638
There is one condition,

1182
01:21:36,440 --> 01:21:37,603
only one...

1183
01:21:39,653 --> 01:21:42,358
The house
comes with an old butler.

1184
01:21:44,157 --> 01:21:46,613
You are not to expel him.

1185
01:21:49,039 --> 01:21:51,246
<i>The next day,
they move into the château.</i>

1186
01:21:59,594 --> 01:22:02,347
<i>They fit easily
into their new role,</i>

1187
01:22:02,556 --> 01:22:07,184
<i>accepting it as naturally as
a storm or a warm day in winter,</i>

1188
01:22:07,395 --> 01:22:11,476
<i>with good cheer
and a hovering anxiety.</i>

1189
01:22:26,127 --> 01:22:27,504
Is that him?

1190
01:22:27,713 --> 01:22:28,828
Looks like it.

1191
01:22:29,089 --> 01:22:31,248
I've seen him before somewhere.

1192
01:22:31,467 --> 01:22:33,460
He sure looks familiar.

1193
01:22:34,138 --> 01:22:35,681
He seems nice.

1194
01:23:18,276 --> 01:23:20,316
<i>Soon, they discover
that their guide's</i>

1195
01:23:20,529 --> 01:23:23,733
<i>sombre expression only brightens</i>

1196
01:23:23,951 --> 01:23:28,164
<i>at the sound of a bell,
and not just any bell.</i>

1197
01:23:29,082 --> 01:23:30,625
<i>His bell.</i>

1198
01:23:38,218 --> 01:23:39,878
Why the bell?

1199
01:23:41,180 --> 01:23:42,510
To summon you perhaps?

1200
01:23:57,577 --> 01:23:59,368
I love yelling!

1201
01:23:59,621 --> 01:24:01,531
Down with modernity!

1202
01:24:23,066 --> 01:24:25,474
This time I'm certain.

1203
01:24:27,906 --> 01:24:29,069
Brilliant!

1204
01:24:30,367 --> 01:24:31,648
Let's celebrate.

1205
01:24:42,841 --> 01:24:47,754
We want two Brandy Alexanders.
We've got something to celebrate.

1206
01:24:47,973 --> 01:24:49,384
We're going to have a baby!

1207
01:24:58,070 --> 01:25:00,358
<i>One night,
they retire exhausted.</i>

1208
01:25:01,281 --> 01:25:02,776
<i>They wake up...</i>

1209
01:25:03,409 --> 01:25:05,450
<i>three days later.</i>

1210
01:25:05,996 --> 01:25:08,868
Call the Bellman:
I've got a headache.

1211
01:25:09,084 --> 01:25:10,364
Me too...

1212
01:25:13,839 --> 01:25:15,583
It can't be a hangover...

1213
01:25:19,220 --> 01:25:20,964
Maybe it's the coffee...

1214
01:25:23,434 --> 01:25:25,178
I need an aspirin.

1215
01:25:34,616 --> 01:25:36,109
Where's the bell?

1216
01:25:36,410 --> 01:25:39,032
No need. He's right here.

1217
01:25:40,330 --> 01:25:41,576
What? No bell?

1218
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:44,377
Try anyway.

1219
01:25:44,587 --> 01:25:45,702
You're crazy.

1220
01:25:47,464 --> 01:25:48,664
Hey Bell!

1221
01:25:50,427 --> 01:25:53,465
<i>Our newly-weds soon realize
that the butler...</i>

1222
01:25:53,681 --> 01:25:55,888
<i>only obeys the sound of the bell.</i>

1223
01:25:56,101 --> 01:25:59,269
<i>But increasingly,
he plays hide-and-seek.</i>

1224
01:25:59,522 --> 01:26:02,938
<i>Soon, this starts to irritate them.</i>

1225
01:26:04,027 --> 01:26:05,107
Bell!

1226
01:26:08,576 --> 01:26:10,818
<i>The butler's game is indeed odd.</i>

1227
01:26:12,163 --> 01:26:14,369
<i>He vanishes for weeks on end,</i>

1228
01:26:14,792 --> 01:26:18,078
<i>he is more and more taciturn.</i>

1229
01:26:19,464 --> 01:26:22,381
<i>A new sensation...</i>

1230
01:26:22,593 --> 01:26:24,586
<i>pervades their daily lives,</i>

1231
01:26:25,639 --> 01:26:27,880
<i>a feeling they can't name.</i>

1232
01:26:28,809 --> 01:26:33,188
<i>But we know what it is.
They are afraid.</i>

1233
01:26:33,397 --> 01:26:35,106
I've got headache again.

1234
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,359
- I haven't.
- Lucky you!

1235
01:26:37,737 --> 01:26:41,273
Clever me. I didn't touch the milk.
It's the milk.

1236
01:26:41,700 --> 01:26:43,111
Drugged?

1237
01:26:43,786 --> 01:26:44,985
I think so.

1238
01:26:45,455 --> 01:26:46,119
Why?

1239
01:26:47,832 --> 01:26:49,909
The nights are busy here.

1240
01:26:50,961 --> 01:26:53,632
I don't like it when you get mean.

1241
01:27:03,103 --> 01:27:05,179
<i>One week later, it happens again.</i>

1242
01:27:05,396 --> 01:27:08,518
<i>Cecile sleeps two whole days.
Martin doesn't.</i>

1243
01:27:10,237 --> 01:27:12,396
We'll get those Russkies!

1244
01:27:14,032 --> 01:27:16,191
We'll get those Russkies!

1245
01:27:23,670 --> 01:27:25,129
Cecile? Hear that?

1246
01:27:26,007 --> 01:27:29,007
What?
Do you want to make love?

1247
01:27:29,219 --> 01:27:31,889
No. Listen.

1248
01:27:33,974 --> 01:27:36,892
If you won't make love,
let me sleep.

1249
01:27:45,489 --> 01:27:46,769
Listen.

1250
01:27:56,211 --> 01:27:57,540
Where are you going?

1251
01:28:02,469 --> 01:28:04,961
I told you they were clever.

1252
01:28:05,180 --> 01:28:07,932
That's life!
Life is just amazing!

1253
01:28:08,392 --> 01:28:11,015
Life never ceases to amaze.

1254
01:28:11,229 --> 01:28:13,139
Doesn't it never cease?

1255
01:28:13,649 --> 01:28:14,894
Tone it down.

1256
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:18,445
He's making me dizzy.
I can't get a word in.

1257
01:28:19,324 --> 01:28:20,238
Who is he?

1258
01:28:20,450 --> 01:28:22,859
An old friend.

1259
01:28:24,330 --> 01:28:24,994
Listen, Luc...

1260
01:28:26,291 --> 01:28:28,913
Don't call me that!
Luc does not exist.

1261
01:28:31,506 --> 01:28:32,536
I am sorry.

1262
01:28:32,924 --> 01:28:35,131
- Now, get some sleep.
- Sleep?

1263
01:28:35,343 --> 01:28:37,669
Sleep? Here?
Lut of the question!

1264
01:28:37,889 --> 01:28:41,674
This place stinks of death.
I don't like these youngsters.

1265
01:28:42,853 --> 01:28:44,431
They're modern!

1266
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:55,825
What's wrong with that?

1267
01:28:56,036 --> 01:28:57,447
They stink of shit!

1268
01:28:57,664 --> 01:29:00,119
And what do you stink of?

1269
01:29:00,333 --> 01:29:01,115
Me?

1270
01:29:01,753 --> 01:29:04,790
I stand for life, that's all.

1271
01:29:05,007 --> 01:29:06,632
Life and nothing but.

1272
01:29:07,467 --> 01:29:12,629
I've never been a success.
You're always a success! Always!

1273
01:29:12,849 --> 01:29:14,593
- Shut up!
- IK.

1274
01:29:15,060 --> 01:29:16,685
You've got till tomorrow.

1275
01:29:17,229 --> 01:29:20,599
Could this...
I mean, could this just...

1276
01:29:20,984 --> 01:29:23,655
end in disaster?

1277
01:29:23,864 --> 01:29:24,729
Yes.

1278
01:29:25,783 --> 01:29:28,072
Good God!
What are you doing?

1279
01:29:28,870 --> 01:29:33,414
As I was saying, this could all end
very very badly.

1280
01:29:34,543 --> 01:29:35,539
Right.

1281
01:29:36,213 --> 01:29:38,253
If you want to play dead...

1282
01:29:38,466 --> 01:29:41,040
and play with tramps,
that's your problem.

1283
01:29:41,260 --> 01:29:44,215
I've had enough.
You've got till tomorrow.

1284
01:29:46,433 --> 01:29:47,464
See?

1285
01:29:48,061 --> 01:29:49,685
What do you think?

1286
01:29:50,313 --> 01:29:53,065
How is this story
supposed to end?

1287
01:29:53,484 --> 01:29:55,358
- Badly.
- Why?

1288
01:29:56,029 --> 01:29:59,114
For a change.
Stories always end happily.

1289
01:29:59,325 --> 01:30:00,524
That isn't true!

1290
01:30:01,661 --> 01:30:02,657
Yes it is.

1291
01:30:04,122 --> 01:30:05,914
Take the modern ones.

1292
01:30:06,543 --> 01:30:08,536
We could massacre them,

1293
01:30:09,170 --> 01:30:11,080
bury them in the woods,

1294
01:30:12,215 --> 01:30:16,963
and celebrate. End of story.
Happy end and all.

1295
01:30:17,181 --> 01:30:18,972
When do we finish him off?

1296
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:46,632
<i>Now it is done.</i>

1297
01:30:46,926 --> 01:30:48,836
<i>They leave without regret...</i>

1298
01:30:49,721 --> 01:30:53,341
<i>returning to a life
of ordinary money problems</i>

1299
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,895
<i>and moments
of excessive happiness.</i>

1300
01:31:04,908 --> 01:31:08,159
<i>But sooner or later,
they know,</i>

1301
01:31:08,495 --> 01:31:12,280
<i>the butler will track them down
to recover his debt.</i>

1302
01:31:14,753 --> 01:31:15,999
<i>But what debt?</i>

1303
01:31:25,308 --> 01:31:27,136
I was the proprietor,

1304
01:31:28,062 --> 01:31:30,471
master as well as servant.

1305
01:31:32,484 --> 01:31:34,773
You failed to recognize me.

1306
01:31:35,488 --> 01:31:37,316
I shall be merciful.

1307
01:31:38,032 --> 01:31:42,660
I shall grant you a monthly stipend
to cover basic needs...

1308
01:31:44,916 --> 01:31:47,753
But I want something in exchange.

1309
01:31:48,087 --> 01:31:49,286
Whatever you say.

1310
01:31:50,925 --> 01:31:52,716
- Your child.
- Lur child!

1311
01:31:52,969 --> 01:31:54,167
My daughter!

1312
01:31:54,386 --> 01:31:55,502
Don't worry.

1313
01:31:56,223 --> 01:31:58,014
She'll be well cared for.

1314
01:31:58,767 --> 01:32:00,143
I shall raise her myself.

1315
01:32:00,853 --> 01:32:02,395
You're very kind.

1316
01:32:03,690 --> 01:32:04,889
Most kind of you.

1317
01:32:35,898 --> 01:32:39,019
<i>That night, the butler left
the newborn child...</i>

1318
01:32:39,235 --> 01:32:42,189
<i>outside Maria's door,</i>

1319
01:32:42,405 --> 01:32:45,740
<i>at 38A, rue de Maastricht.</i>

1320
01:32:50,791 --> 01:32:52,867
Luc Allamand is 70.

1321
01:32:53,462 --> 01:32:55,954
He has just married his sixth wife.

1322
01:32:56,173 --> 01:32:57,916
She is 38 years his junior.

1323
01:33:06,979 --> 01:33:09,684
Just a moment.

1324
01:33:10,316 --> 01:33:11,562
It's for you.

1325
01:33:19,453 --> 01:33:22,621
<i>There's a letter for you.
I've opened it.</i>

1326
01:33:22,832 --> 01:33:27,411
<i>Your ex-wife, your daughter and
your sister are arriving Tuesday.</i>

1327
01:33:27,630 --> 01:33:29,338
<i>Alitalia, 1.30.</i>

1328
01:33:30,091 --> 01:33:31,170
What?

1329
01:33:33,095 --> 01:33:34,341
<i>Do you mind?</i>

1330
01:33:37,100 --> 01:33:38,263
No, no...

1331
01:33:39,936 --> 01:33:41,728
Tuesday, you said?

1332
01:33:42,232 --> 01:33:43,263
<i>Yes. Tomorrow.</i>

1333
01:33:43,525 --> 01:33:46,894
<i>Luc Allamand,
genius businessman,</i>

1334
01:33:47,112 --> 01:33:50,980
<i>has just received the most
surprising news in his life.</i>

1335
01:33:51,786 --> 01:33:53,328
Are you pleased?

1336
01:33:55,165 --> 01:33:56,113
No.

1337
01:33:56,707 --> 01:33:58,950
Do you want me to book 3 rooms?

1338
01:33:59,795 --> 01:34:01,753
Maybe they've booked already?

1339
01:34:03,258 --> 01:34:04,373
Maybe.

1340
01:34:04,759 --> 01:34:06,718
Have you spoken to them?

1341
01:34:06,929 --> 01:34:08,340
Shall we call?

1342
01:34:08,557 --> 01:34:09,587
I don't know.

1343
01:34:10,434 --> 01:34:11,715
You don't know?

1344
01:34:13,395 --> 01:34:15,056
Are you IK?

1345
01:34:15,565 --> 01:34:17,771
No. Not really.

1346
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,190
I don't feel well.

1347
01:34:22,699 --> 01:34:25,404
I can go to the airport
if you like.

1348
01:34:25,619 --> 01:34:28,372
You cannot.
They won't come.

1349
01:34:28,582 --> 01:34:29,447
Really?

1350
01:34:30,917 --> 01:34:34,002
They won't come
because they don't exist.

1351
01:34:34,715 --> 01:34:37,585
I invented them.
It was easier.

1352
01:34:38,011 --> 01:34:40,299
- None of them?
- None.

1353
01:34:44,060 --> 01:34:45,471
Well now they exist.

1354
01:34:45,686 --> 01:34:50,564
So it seems.
But who could have known?

1355
01:34:51,110 --> 01:34:52,273
Everyone...

1356
01:34:52,612 --> 01:34:55,185
knows about
your ex-wife and sister.

1357
01:34:56,325 --> 01:34:57,488
Half-sister.

1358
01:34:57,702 --> 01:34:58,282
Sorry, yes.

1359
01:34:58,703 --> 01:35:02,038
What's strange
about people knowing?

1360
01:35:05,211 --> 01:35:06,373
Now I see.

1361
01:35:07,255 --> 01:35:08,418
Do you?

1362
01:35:12,387 --> 01:35:13,882
I think so.

1363
01:35:14,390 --> 01:35:15,552
I don't.

1364
01:35:16,850 --> 01:35:18,843
None of them exists?

1365
01:35:19,061 --> 01:35:20,342
No. None.

1366
01:35:20,897 --> 01:35:23,270
And you had to invent them?

1367
01:35:23,777 --> 01:35:25,485
My life is complicated.

1368
01:35:27,489 --> 01:35:30,574
Who could have wanted them
to exist?

1369
01:35:30,786 --> 01:35:34,831
A few hundred people...
our enemies.

1370
01:35:36,084 --> 01:35:37,080
I don't see why.

1371
01:35:37,419 --> 01:35:38,996
Till a few weeks ago,

1372
01:35:39,213 --> 01:35:42,214
this family was just an alibi,

1373
01:35:42,425 --> 01:35:44,418
an excuse to get away.

1374
01:35:45,429 --> 01:35:48,347
Now it's trickier.
I've made payments...

1375
01:35:48,558 --> 01:35:50,516
transfers and...

1376
01:35:50,727 --> 01:35:51,308
Large ones?

1377
01:35:52,062 --> 01:35:53,141
Very.

1378
01:35:53,856 --> 01:35:57,107
If these ladies don't exist,
they can't show up.

1379
01:35:57,652 --> 01:36:00,025
I'm not so sure.

1380
01:36:00,906 --> 01:36:02,698
What will you do?

1381
01:36:03,576 --> 01:36:05,617
At this point,

1382
01:36:06,414 --> 01:36:10,625
the function of these three women
is quite specific.

1383
01:36:11,587 --> 01:36:14,708
Their non-existence is essential

1384
01:36:14,925 --> 01:36:17,595
to the existence of much else.

1385
01:36:18,054 --> 01:36:19,761
How can this be?

1386
01:36:19,973 --> 01:36:22,890
I'd need at least half-an-hour
to explain

1387
01:36:23,102 --> 01:36:26,353
and sadly I don't have it.
So goodbye.

1388
01:36:26,563 --> 01:36:27,643
No. Wait.

1389
01:36:28,191 --> 01:36:30,861
Tell me the worst.
Not A1 war?

1390
01:36:31,069 --> 01:36:32,861
A1, A2, A3... maybe 4.

1391
01:36:33,072 --> 01:36:34,401
The Malay takeover?

1392
01:36:34,616 --> 01:36:36,408
And Singapore and New Zealand.

1393
01:36:36,619 --> 01:36:38,907
Not the strong franc policy?

1394
01:36:39,121 --> 01:36:41,410
Of course. It follows.

1395
01:36:42,542 --> 01:36:44,250
They must disappear.

1396
01:36:45,379 --> 01:36:49,164
Think of a more elegant solution,
would you?

1397
01:36:52,138 --> 01:36:53,419
<i>Luc Allamand goes home.</i>

1398
01:36:54,475 --> 01:36:56,930
<i>He has a migraine and feels sick.</i>

1399
01:36:57,811 --> 01:37:00,137
<i>Oddly, he cannot hear his wife</i>

1400
01:37:00,356 --> 01:37:03,192
<i>rehearsing next week's
benefit concert</i>

1401
01:37:03,401 --> 01:37:05,727
<i>for African war victims.</i>

1402
01:37:07,323 --> 01:37:09,363
<i>In the living-room, he finds</i>

1403
01:37:09,576 --> 01:37:12,862
<i>his wife,
a 32 year-old star singer</i>

1404
01:37:13,081 --> 01:37:15,158
<i>of Hugo Wolf's lieder</i>

1405
01:37:15,376 --> 01:37:18,710
<i>in the arms of her accompanist.</i>

1406
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:21,920
Excuse me.

1407
01:37:28,768 --> 01:37:32,897
I thought you were rehearsing.

1408
01:37:33,731 --> 01:37:34,763
No, Luc,

1409
01:37:35,985 --> 01:37:39,236
I should be the one to apologize.

1410
01:37:39,448 --> 01:37:41,275
My behaviour is unforgivable.

1411
01:37:42,243 --> 01:37:43,406
I see.

1412
01:37:48,083 --> 01:37:51,453
<i>Like a sleepwalker,
Luc goes to the bedroom.</i>

1413
01:37:51,672 --> 01:37:55,006
<i>He finds a dish
of candied chestnuts</i>

1414
01:37:55,217 --> 01:37:58,088
<i>and takes it without thinking.</i>

1415
01:37:58,931 --> 01:38:00,758
<i>He searches for a note...</i>

1416
01:38:01,809 --> 01:38:03,268
<i>and sees the words:</i>

1417
01:38:03,728 --> 01:38:05,804
<i>Carlos Castaneda.</i>

1418
01:38:07,065 --> 01:38:09,557
<i>A child whispers in his ear:</i>

1419
01:38:10,571 --> 01:38:14,070
<i>"Cast", distribution, "casta"...</i>

1420
01:38:14,534 --> 01:38:16,611
<i>chaste, "castaña"...</i>

1421
01:38:17,705 --> 01:38:20,113
<i>chestnut, "tañer"...</i>

1422
01:38:20,624 --> 01:38:21,870
<i>bells ring.</i>

1423
01:38:22,085 --> 01:38:23,995
<i>"Edad", age...</i>

1424
01:38:24,462 --> 01:38:26,421
<i>"Dar", give.</i>

1425
01:38:27,467 --> 01:38:30,040
<i>These multilingual puns</i>

1426
01:38:30,262 --> 01:38:32,836
<i>conceal a tragic mystery.</i>

1427
01:38:33,974 --> 01:38:35,006
You called, sir?

1428
01:38:35,226 --> 01:38:37,682
No. I mean, yes.

1429
01:38:38,731 --> 01:38:40,973
Tell madame I've gone out...

1430
01:38:41,192 --> 01:38:43,648
I may not be back for dinner.

1431
01:38:46,448 --> 01:38:49,154
<i>It is 11.07.</i>

1432
01:38:49,619 --> 01:38:54,116
<i>Luc Allamand, banker, arms-trader,
appears in the street.</i>

1433
01:38:54,625 --> 01:38:58,042
<i>He wanders aimlessly,
or at least thinks he does.</i>

1434
01:38:58,381 --> 01:39:01,383
<i>In fact he is heading straight for</i>

1435
01:39:01,593 --> 01:39:05,842
<i>38A Rue de Maastricht
in the 11th arrondissement.</i>

1436
01:39:06,140 --> 01:39:08,099
- It's you?
- Here I am.

1437
01:39:09,729 --> 01:39:11,104
How was the trip?

1438
01:39:11,313 --> 01:39:12,309
So-so.

1439
01:39:15,361 --> 01:39:16,986
Sell anything?

1440
01:39:17,196 --> 01:39:18,359
Perhaps.

1441
01:39:18,573 --> 01:39:23,152
Not much.
It wasn't bad though.

1442
01:39:23,454 --> 01:39:26,990
You can pay then.
I've had the apartment redone.

1443
01:39:27,208 --> 01:39:29,000
That's a surprise.

1444
01:39:29,419 --> 01:39:31,378
This is an obsession.

1445
01:39:32,049 --> 01:39:35,417
How many times
have you had it redone?

1446
01:39:37,097 --> 01:39:39,468
Every time you leave.

1447
01:39:39,975 --> 01:39:43,677
I'm staying here now,
for a long while anyway.

1448
01:39:44,314 --> 01:39:48,016
I'm going to find
a steady job nearby.

1449
01:39:48,235 --> 01:39:49,979
I'm not asking why.

1450
01:39:51,364 --> 01:39:54,235
I miss you, Maria.

1451
01:39:56,705 --> 01:39:59,160
I miss you too.
Do you want champagne?

1452
01:39:59,374 --> 01:40:00,370
Yes, Crémant.

1453
01:40:09,804 --> 01:40:11,347
We have to talk.

1454
01:40:11,599 --> 01:40:12,844
Sounds serious.

1455
01:40:13,058 --> 01:40:16,309
I've had letters...
anonymous letters.

1456
01:40:16,521 --> 01:40:19,143
Really? What do they say?

1457
01:40:19,357 --> 01:40:21,730
- Do you want to see?
- No. Why?

1458
01:40:22,154 --> 01:40:23,731
You've got another wife.

1459
01:40:23,947 --> 01:40:24,944
Me?

1460
01:40:25,157 --> 01:40:26,652
According to the letters.

1461
01:40:27,618 --> 01:40:29,161
Anonymous letters...

1462
01:40:30,747 --> 01:40:32,207
Do you have anyone else?

1463
01:40:32,416 --> 01:40:35,417
Me! Why do you ask?

1464
01:40:35,629 --> 01:40:38,465
Well I'm often away...
you're alone...

1465
01:40:38,674 --> 01:40:41,712
Ine day, I'll do it.

1466
01:41:01,285 --> 01:41:02,531
I really miss you.

1467
01:41:03,288 --> 01:41:04,367
Very much?

1468
01:41:05,542 --> 01:41:07,167
Do you like the walls?

1469
01:41:07,586 --> 01:41:08,749
I don't know.

1470
01:41:09,295 --> 01:41:10,707
I guess so.

1471
01:41:56,064 --> 01:41:57,891
Are you asleep?

1472
01:42:00,694 --> 01:42:04,229
Don't pretend.
I know you're awake.

1473
01:42:04,824 --> 01:42:06,864
Let me sleep, Mother.

1474
01:42:07,577 --> 01:42:11,790
I'm teaching tomorrow.
Please leave me.

1475
01:42:12,041 --> 01:42:14,533
Teaching? Teaching what?

1476
01:42:16,380 --> 01:42:18,669
Negative anthropology.

1477
01:42:25,100 --> 01:42:28,802
Let's clear this up
once and for all.

1478
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,022
Are you crazy or what?

1479
01:42:43,122 --> 01:42:44,582
Do you know her?

1480
01:42:44,792 --> 01:42:45,955
No. Who is it?

1481
01:42:46,335 --> 01:42:47,414
Your mistress.

1482
01:42:47,628 --> 01:42:48,826
She looks good.

1483
01:42:49,047 --> 01:42:50,790
Tell me the truth.

1484
01:42:53,635 --> 01:42:55,794
- Give me a coin.
- What?

1485
01:42:56,013 --> 01:42:57,556
For the love of God...

1486
01:42:58,434 --> 01:42:59,051
What?

1487
01:42:59,269 --> 01:43:01,724
A coin for a hungry man.

1488
01:43:01,938 --> 01:43:03,101
What?

1489
01:43:03,314 --> 01:43:08,024
Any coin will do, a coin...

1490
01:43:10,198 --> 01:43:13,782
A coin, before I kill you, bitch.

1491
01:43:15,788 --> 01:43:19,205
A coin, a coin...

1492
01:43:19,668 --> 01:43:21,543
I want a coin.

1493
01:43:23,799 --> 01:43:28,759
Give me a coin or else...
Give me a coin.

1494
01:43:29,306 --> 01:43:30,302
Here.

1495
01:43:33,561 --> 01:43:35,221
What are you doing?

1496
01:43:36,023 --> 01:43:38,941
You wanted a coin.
You demanded it.

1497
01:43:42,572 --> 01:43:45,824
- I'm sleepwalking again.
- You gave me a scare.

1498
01:43:46,035 --> 01:43:47,743
That must be it.

1499
01:43:48,205 --> 01:43:50,662
I used to sleepwalk...

1500
01:43:50,874 --> 01:43:53,996
I could roam all night.

1501
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:56,875
You really scared me.

1502
01:43:57,299 --> 01:44:00,420
Poor love, poor love.

1503
01:44:00,972 --> 01:44:02,431
No, no...

1504
01:44:03,308 --> 01:44:04,506
I'm such a silly.

1505
01:44:05,727 --> 01:44:09,892
<i>The next day, Mateo Strano
rises in excellent spirits.</i>

1506
01:44:10,192 --> 01:44:11,651
I had a good sleep.

1507
01:44:12,277 --> 01:44:15,694
It's so nice not having
any obligations.

1508
01:44:17,784 --> 01:44:21,320
Mateo, come here.

1509
01:44:23,792 --> 01:44:24,539
He's there.

1510
01:44:24,752 --> 01:44:25,701
Who?

1511
01:44:26,670 --> 01:44:28,330
He's following me.

1512
01:44:29,299 --> 01:44:30,247
He looks nice.

1513
01:44:31,176 --> 01:44:32,588
This is serious!

1514
01:44:34,054 --> 01:44:36,296
He's the one behind those letters.

1515
01:44:36,766 --> 01:44:38,142
Are you sure?

1516
01:44:39,102 --> 01:44:40,597
Of course not.

1517
01:44:43,190 --> 01:44:44,270
See you later.

1518
01:44:44,985 --> 01:44:46,562
Are you frightened?

1519
01:44:46,905 --> 01:44:48,613
A bit.

1520
01:45:00,921 --> 01:45:03,839
<i>Professor Vickers
examines his surroundings.</i>

1521
01:45:04,050 --> 01:45:09,046
<i>He does not know where he is, nor
why he is in this strange apartment.</i>

1522
01:45:09,265 --> 01:45:11,804
<i>He hurries home.</i>

1523
01:45:14,605 --> 01:45:18,142
<i>It is 24 hours
since Luc Allamand left home.</i>

1524
01:45:18,694 --> 01:45:22,064
<i>Mateo Strano has just left
on another trip...</i>

1525
01:45:22,283 --> 01:45:25,902
<i>As Professor Vickers
enters his former residence,</i>

1526
01:45:26,371 --> 01:45:28,863
<i>now occupied by Tania,
his mistress.</i>

1527
01:45:47,689 --> 01:45:49,314
Have you given up begging?

1528
01:45:50,318 --> 01:45:51,694
Yes.

1529
01:45:51,944 --> 01:45:53,143
What do you want?

1530
01:45:53,697 --> 01:45:55,026
To come home.

1531
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:01,623
I don't know what to say.

1532
01:46:01,833 --> 01:46:03,161
Say yes.

1533
01:46:03,375 --> 01:46:07,160
Don't worry.
I want nothing else.

1534
01:46:07,672 --> 01:46:10,128
I've thought about you
a great deal.

1535
01:46:10,343 --> 01:46:11,505
Me too.

1536
01:46:12,762 --> 01:46:14,969
I'd forgotten all about you...

1537
01:46:16,518 --> 01:46:19,306
then I started getting letters.

1538
01:46:19,522 --> 01:46:21,811
- Really?
- Vague threats...

1539
01:46:22,025 --> 01:46:25,858
then not so vague.
I think I know who is behind them.

1540
01:46:26,071 --> 01:46:27,270
Who?

1541
01:46:27,489 --> 01:46:30,444
Guess. My ex-husband.

1542
01:46:30,660 --> 01:46:34,160
We're through, you know.
It's over now.

1543
01:46:34,374 --> 01:46:36,201
I didn't know that.

1544
01:46:37,669 --> 01:46:40,242
I'm delighted you're back.

1545
01:46:42,049 --> 01:46:43,877
Tell me you're pleased.

1546
01:46:44,093 --> 01:46:45,089
Very very pleased.

1547
01:46:47,514 --> 01:46:50,765
Lots of things
have changed here.

1548
01:46:50,978 --> 01:46:54,477
I have a maid now.
I've settled down.

1549
01:46:55,483 --> 01:46:56,729
I'll call her.

1550
01:47:01,283 --> 01:47:04,154
Her name is Assunta.

1551
01:47:04,537 --> 01:47:05,948
It's a pleasure, Sir.

1552
01:47:06,831 --> 01:47:10,082
This is Professor Vickers,
I told you about him.

1553
01:47:10,293 --> 01:47:13,211
Madam talks about you a lot.

1554
01:47:13,673 --> 01:47:17,753
What's going on, Georges?

1555
01:47:19,429 --> 01:47:21,424
Sir is careful with his words.

1556
01:47:21,641 --> 01:47:22,840
Not always.

1557
01:47:40,207 --> 01:47:42,414
Madam, here...

1558
01:47:50,428 --> 01:47:51,377
Georges!

1559
01:47:52,054 --> 01:47:56,303
Assunta will do that later.

1560
01:47:59,522 --> 01:48:01,681
Did I say something wrong?

1561
01:48:08,658 --> 01:48:12,075
What's going on? Georges!

1562
01:48:13,706 --> 01:48:16,875
<i>It is 12.20 at Professor Vickers',</i>

1563
01:48:17,086 --> 01:48:19,245
<i>when the silent butler leaves</i>

1564
01:48:19,465 --> 01:48:23,084
<i>for his proteges'apartment.</i>

1565
01:48:29,185 --> 01:48:31,474
Look who's here!

1566
01:48:32,438 --> 01:48:34,230
Well hello...

1567
01:48:39,490 --> 01:48:42,989
We were worried about you,
things have been strange.

1568
01:48:49,251 --> 01:48:51,541
<i>The butler made lunch.</i>

1569
01:48:52,048 --> 01:48:56,296
<i>Later, he cleaned the apartment.</i>

1570
01:48:56,510 --> 01:48:57,211
Don't!

1571
01:48:59,556 --> 01:49:01,264
He's so sweet.

1572
01:49:02,602 --> 01:49:04,679
I won't be back till 8.

1573
01:49:04,896 --> 01:49:07,898
You can have the afternoon off.

1574
01:49:19,916 --> 01:49:22,586
Now he's gone, we have to talk.

1575
01:49:24,088 --> 01:49:28,502
I've been getting strange letters.
Threats.

1576
01:49:29,969 --> 01:49:32,212
At first I thought it was you.

1577
01:49:32,766 --> 01:49:35,970
Now I know it isn't. Is it?

1578
01:49:37,647 --> 01:49:39,106
Tell me it isn't.

1579
01:49:40,608 --> 01:49:42,482
Tell me you are not Carlos.

1580
01:49:42,903 --> 01:49:44,066
Carlos?

1581
01:49:45,407 --> 01:49:46,818
What time is it?

1582
01:49:48,243 --> 01:49:49,406
6 o'clock.

1583
01:49:50,246 --> 01:49:52,239
<i>Luc Allamand
heads for his office.</i>

1584
01:49:52,457 --> 01:49:53,120
Wait.

1585
01:49:53,333 --> 01:49:55,741
<i>He knows there's no time to lose.</i>

1586
01:50:14,943 --> 01:50:16,142
Where were you?

1587
01:50:19,907 --> 01:50:21,284
I don't know.

1588
01:50:22,285 --> 01:50:24,907
I'm not well.

1589
01:50:25,164 --> 01:50:28,286
Your wife's looking for you.
She's desperate.

1590
01:50:28,962 --> 01:50:29,911
I'm sorry.

1591
01:50:32,382 --> 01:50:35,169
I've got someone waiting for you.

1592
01:50:35,677 --> 01:50:37,221
He's a real genius.

1593
01:50:37,722 --> 01:50:40,890
I know you hate psychoanalysis.

1594
01:50:41,227 --> 01:50:42,686
He knows that too.

1595
01:50:43,020 --> 01:50:45,772
He just wants to talk to you

1596
01:50:45,982 --> 01:50:47,228
as a friend.

1597
01:50:48,695 --> 01:50:51,103
Is that necessary?

1598
01:50:51,322 --> 01:50:52,522
I think so.

1599
01:50:55,703 --> 01:50:56,949
Well then...

1600
01:51:00,959 --> 01:51:02,454
<i>For the first time ever,</i>

1601
01:51:02,670 --> 01:51:06,455
<i>Luc Allamand agrees
to see a psychologist.</i>

1602
01:51:06,676 --> 01:51:08,419
<i>And not just anybody...</i>

1603
01:51:08,637 --> 01:51:11,211
<i>Luca Augusta is famous.</i>

1604
01:51:11,431 --> 01:51:14,883
<i>He organizes seminars,
conducts symphonies,</i>

1605
01:51:15,103 --> 01:51:17,809
<i>sits in the European Parliament.</i>

1606
01:51:19,067 --> 01:51:22,519
Don't say anything.
I'll talk this time.

1607
01:51:30,121 --> 01:51:31,746
I expect you're surprised.

1608
01:51:32,584 --> 01:51:33,663
Don't say anything.

1609
01:51:34,001 --> 01:51:38,167
I know shrinks usually listen.

1610
01:51:38,382 --> 01:51:41,668
They ask questions and take notes.

1611
01:51:42,512 --> 01:51:44,137
I don't. I use case-files.

1612
01:51:44,723 --> 01:51:46,217
I interpret case-files.

1613
01:51:46,433 --> 01:51:48,058
Show me your file,

1614
01:51:48,770 --> 01:51:50,348
I'll tell you who you are.

1615
01:51:50,981 --> 01:51:53,652
Case-files don't work for everybody.
For you...

1616
01:51:55,194 --> 01:51:56,144
yes.

1617
01:51:56,405 --> 01:51:59,324
But, first, congratulations.

1618
01:52:00,994 --> 01:52:05,657
I spent yesterday and part of
last night studying your technique.

1619
01:52:07,376 --> 01:52:09,037
Your work...

1620
01:52:09,255 --> 01:52:11,877
is as detailed as any I've seen.

1621
01:52:12,092 --> 01:52:13,255
Imagine!

1622
01:52:13,926 --> 01:52:18,424
You've invented three women,
and these women now exist.

1623
01:52:18,642 --> 01:52:22,426
You've managed to bring them
to life. Well done.

1624
01:52:22,647 --> 01:52:24,935
Every detail is believable.

1625
01:52:25,149 --> 01:52:28,686
We even got them
from the airport this morning.

1626
01:52:28,905 --> 01:52:29,935
Why?

1627
01:52:30,156 --> 01:52:31,567
To meet them.

1628
01:52:32,658 --> 01:52:35,862
And wait for it...
They were there!

1629
01:52:36,914 --> 01:52:38,539
That can't be so.

1630
01:52:39,084 --> 01:52:42,454
Your description
fitted 3 passengers exactly.

1631
01:52:42,672 --> 01:52:44,830
Of course,
they didn't know each other.

1632
01:52:45,551 --> 01:52:46,333
But bravo!

1633
01:52:47,302 --> 01:52:48,381
Thank you.

1634
01:52:48,888 --> 01:52:50,134
I mean it.

1635
01:52:51,850 --> 01:52:56,015
Excuse me...
This is all too much for me.

1636
01:52:57,024 --> 01:52:57,937
I understand.

1637
01:52:59,859 --> 01:53:03,360
I'll carry on studying your file.
But remember...

1638
01:53:03,573 --> 01:53:06,574
you're not sick. In the contrary.

1639
01:53:06,785 --> 01:53:08,696
You're in excellent shape.

1640
01:53:08,913 --> 01:53:09,944
Look...

1641
01:53:13,544 --> 01:53:18,042
All the personalities
in this newspaper

1642
01:53:18,425 --> 01:53:19,968
have the same affliction.

1643
01:53:21,888 --> 01:53:24,558
Ministers, pianists, boxers...

1644
01:53:25,351 --> 01:53:26,846
You call it an illness...

1645
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:28,938
I'd say it was...

1646
01:53:29,648 --> 01:53:33,562
the price of success,
a sign that you belong to an elite.

1647
01:53:36,824 --> 01:53:39,065
Ince again, congratulations.

1648
01:53:47,254 --> 01:53:50,873
Why did I lie?
I didn't have to.

1649
01:53:51,092 --> 01:53:53,002
Why? Lh why?

1650
01:53:53,595 --> 01:53:55,138
What's wrong?

1651
01:53:55,639 --> 01:53:59,138
It's nothing, my love...
Just a dream.

1652
01:53:59,603 --> 01:54:00,682
The same dream?

1653
01:54:00,896 --> 01:54:02,854
Worse.

1654
01:54:05,735 --> 01:54:09,865
At first it was just
another nightmare.

1655
01:54:10,407 --> 01:54:15,200
You were giving a concert, singing
something you knew very well...

1656
01:54:15,414 --> 01:54:19,330
then you had a blank.

1657
01:54:20,127 --> 01:54:23,213
You saw me in the audience

1658
01:54:24,174 --> 01:54:25,170
and you said

1659
01:54:25,384 --> 01:54:30,462
Luc, would you come up and sing
instead of me?

1660
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:36,348
I was terrified...
I didn't know the music.

1661
01:54:37,650 --> 01:54:42,194
Suddenly, I felt compelled
to sing a lullaby

1662
01:54:42,407 --> 01:54:46,073
that my mother
used to hum for me.

1663
01:54:46,579 --> 01:54:51,040
In the dream, I had to alter
the words of this lullaby.

1664
01:54:51,794 --> 01:54:54,998
So I altered them and sang

1665
01:54:55,213 --> 01:54:58,750
something like
"The whore got buggered".

1666
01:54:59,427 --> 01:55:04,423
For a while, I kept on singing
obscenities of the sort.

1667
01:55:05,018 --> 01:55:08,850
But I knew that
every one of these obscenities

1668
01:55:09,064 --> 01:55:12,399
was going to cost me.

1669
01:55:12,611 --> 01:55:15,364
Soon, I saw
what the price would be.

1670
01:55:15,574 --> 01:55:18,943
I was going to lose the ability
to speak French.

1671
01:55:19,369 --> 01:55:20,615
So I thought

1672
01:55:20,830 --> 01:55:25,659
that's it, old man, that's it...
I won't be able to speak French.

1673
01:55:26,462 --> 01:55:31,670
So I went on singing obscenities
in Italian, thinking to please

1674
01:55:31,885 --> 01:55:35,931
but you kept smiling and saying

1675
01:55:36,140 --> 01:55:39,011
liar... liar...

1676
01:55:39,646 --> 01:55:41,853
you're nothing but a liar.

1677
01:55:44,609 --> 01:55:45,890
Where are you?

1678
01:55:47,197 --> 01:55:48,656
What's your name?

1679
01:55:50,909 --> 01:55:51,988
"Casta"...

1680
01:55:53,121 --> 01:55:54,151
chaste.

1681
01:55:55,374 --> 01:55:56,537
Chestnut.

1682
01:56:04,176 --> 01:56:07,344
<i>Luc Allamand
goes down to the river Seine</i>

1683
01:56:07,555 --> 01:56:11,340
<i>haunted by conflicting feelings.</i>

1684
01:56:12,394 --> 01:56:14,519
<i>The puns go round his head.</i>

1685
01:56:19,904 --> 01:56:23,819
<i>Suddenly, a child
from another time appears.</i>

1686
01:56:24,034 --> 01:56:26,157
<i>Luc tries to ignore him.</i>

1687
01:56:26,538 --> 01:56:31,082
<i>But why worry?
No one else can see him.</i>

1688
01:56:31,293 --> 01:56:33,999
We haven't seen
each other for ages.

1689
01:56:34,256 --> 01:56:36,166
What are you doing here?

1690
01:56:36,383 --> 01:56:39,136
I saw you, I followed you.

1691
01:56:39,388 --> 01:56:40,669
Are you alone?

1692
01:56:41,223 --> 01:56:43,181
I'm always alone.

1693
01:56:46,104 --> 01:56:50,767
Be a good boy and go home to bed,
I need to think.

1694
01:56:50,985 --> 01:56:54,770
As you want, darling.
It's your loss anyway.

1695
01:56:54,991 --> 01:56:55,987
What is?

1696
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:57,943
What you asked for.

1697
01:56:58,203 --> 01:56:59,946
Did I ask for anything?

1698
01:57:00,164 --> 01:57:02,737
Yes, darling. I've got it.
Here.

1699
01:57:08,424 --> 01:57:11,211
I don't know how to thank you.

1700
01:57:11,844 --> 01:57:13,305
Say you love me.

1701
01:57:13,514 --> 01:57:15,554
Of course I do, Carlitos.

1702
01:57:15,934 --> 01:57:16,882
I love you.

1703
01:57:17,101 --> 01:57:20,638
Not Carlitos, Carlos.
I'm grown up now.

1704
01:57:21,482 --> 01:57:23,142
Thanks, Carlos.

1705
01:57:23,986 --> 01:57:25,231
Bye darling.

1706
01:57:29,742 --> 01:57:32,316
<i>Meanwhile,
Cecile goes to a café</i>

1707
01:57:32,538 --> 01:57:36,157
<i>where she is to meet
a stranger.</i>

1708
01:57:43,761 --> 01:57:44,959
It's you.

1709
01:57:50,769 --> 01:57:51,599
We could

1710
01:57:51,811 --> 01:57:53,888
talk occasionally.

1711
01:57:54,566 --> 01:57:57,021
I suppose so.

1712
01:57:58,362 --> 01:58:02,147
What will you have?
I'm waiting for someone who's late.

1713
01:58:03,159 --> 01:58:04,903
I'm meeting someone too but...

1714
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:06,401
He's late?

1715
01:58:06,748 --> 01:58:07,495
I don't know.

1716
01:58:07,708 --> 01:58:09,333
I've never met him.

1717
01:58:09,919 --> 01:58:11,330
Is it about a job?

1718
01:58:11,796 --> 01:58:12,876
I'm not sure.

1719
01:58:15,259 --> 01:58:17,050
I have no idea.

1720
01:58:18,887 --> 01:58:21,130
Let's see if I've understood...

1721
01:58:21,350 --> 01:58:23,675
You've got a date with a stranger?

1722
01:58:23,894 --> 01:58:25,093
Yes.

1723
01:58:25,689 --> 01:58:27,183
What's he like?

1724
01:58:27,733 --> 01:58:29,974
I don't know. He knows me.

1725
01:58:30,737 --> 01:58:33,941
I see. He's written you.

1726
01:58:35,201 --> 01:58:36,778
Almost every day.

1727
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:40,240
Threats, promises...

1728
01:58:41,417 --> 01:58:42,746
So you know him!

1729
01:58:43,669 --> 01:58:45,543
I get it... It was you.

1730
01:58:45,755 --> 01:58:47,166
Of course not.

1731
01:58:47,924 --> 01:58:50,546
But we're waiting
for the same person.

1732
01:58:50,762 --> 01:58:51,877
I'm sorry...

1733
01:58:52,096 --> 01:58:54,884
I don't usually eavesdrop.

1734
01:58:55,100 --> 01:58:59,099
But I think we're waiting for
the same person.

1735
01:59:00,983 --> 01:59:02,775
Maybe all four of us are.

1736
01:59:05,655 --> 01:59:06,604
Look.

1737
01:59:08,825 --> 01:59:10,320
His last letter.

1738
01:59:14,291 --> 01:59:16,580
"If you want to know
about your husband,

1739
01:59:16,795 --> 01:59:20,046
"come to the café
at the place de la Nation at 8.

1740
01:59:20,257 --> 01:59:22,582
"Alone." Signed Carlos.

1741
01:59:24,137 --> 01:59:27,222
Strange.
The writing is different.

1742
01:59:28,309 --> 01:59:31,892
Look at mine.
The writing is childish.

1743
01:59:33,524 --> 01:59:36,692
As I thought.
She's in the same position.

1744
01:59:36,903 --> 01:59:37,899
Hello.

1745
01:59:47,499 --> 01:59:48,699
Evening.

1746
01:59:49,377 --> 01:59:51,666
I didn't know you'd met.

1747
01:59:52,006 --> 01:59:53,204
Thanks to you.

1748
01:59:53,424 --> 01:59:57,091
What do you mean?

1749
01:59:57,304 --> 01:59:59,594
It's nothing to do with me.

1750
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:03,139
I've got a date.

1751
02:00:04,939 --> 02:00:06,897
<i>Hans Srüger, suspect no. 1</i>

1752
02:00:07,107 --> 02:00:10,644
<i>has been summoned
to the café too.</i>

1753
02:00:10,947 --> 02:00:12,192
<i>And he is not the only one.</i>

1754
02:00:13,574 --> 02:00:16,445
Scotch please, on the rocks.

1755
02:00:18,039 --> 02:00:19,320
Mineral water.

1756
02:00:21,543 --> 02:00:23,038
A beer please.

1757
02:00:39,942 --> 02:00:40,972
Mateo!

1758
02:00:41,318 --> 02:00:42,433
- Georges!
- Luc!

1759
02:00:42,861 --> 02:00:44,142
It's Bell!

1760
02:00:44,364 --> 02:00:45,562
Please Cecile!

1761
02:00:46,032 --> 02:00:46,778
He's your father.

1762
02:00:46,991 --> 02:00:48,534
- My father!
- Yes.

1763
02:01:00,466 --> 02:01:04,762
Dad! I don't know what to say.
I ought to apologize.

1764
02:01:10,355 --> 02:01:12,182
A coin,
for the love of God...

1765
02:01:13,233 --> 02:01:14,811
You're not well Dad.

1766
02:01:15,026 --> 02:01:16,521
We'll look after you.

1767
02:01:16,738 --> 02:01:18,945
Give me a penny...

1768
02:01:19,867 --> 02:01:21,492
Dad, it's my fault.

1769
02:01:27,626 --> 02:01:29,500
Why do you call me Dad?

1770
02:01:30,255 --> 02:01:33,459
Are you my daughter?
I'd be surprised.

1771
02:01:34,009 --> 02:01:36,761
I tell people I've got a daughter

1772
02:01:36,971 --> 02:01:38,715
but there is no such person.

1773
02:01:40,685 --> 02:01:42,096
What's wrong Dad?

1774
02:02:09,805 --> 02:02:13,009
Come sweeties...
come my tiny ones...

1775
02:02:13,226 --> 02:02:15,266
time to eat...

1776
02:02:16,688 --> 02:02:20,224
A penny, for the love of God...

1777
02:02:20,734 --> 02:02:22,775
Don't move!

1778
02:02:24,114 --> 02:02:26,785
It was bound to happen.
I'm prepared.

1779
02:02:26,992 --> 02:02:28,369
- Me too.
- Not me.

1780
02:02:28,579 --> 02:02:29,694
I've got two.

1781
02:02:30,581 --> 02:02:32,241
- Thanks.
- The bastard!

1782
02:02:39,675 --> 02:02:40,956
<i>The deed is done.</i>

1783
02:02:43,513 --> 02:02:47,429
<i>Four murderers converge
on their chosen place.</i>

1784
02:02:47,644 --> 02:02:51,939
<i>A fifth awaits.
He is the boss. He decides.</i>

1785
02:02:52,149 --> 02:02:54,937
<i>The decision they must take</i>

1786
02:02:55,153 --> 02:02:58,191
<i>is the most serious
the group has ever faced.</i>

1787
02:02:58,617 --> 02:02:59,945
How was it?

1788
02:03:00,160 --> 02:03:01,619
Not bad.

1789
02:03:02,914 --> 02:03:04,195
I'm glad.

1790
02:03:05,416 --> 02:03:07,658
What are you doing here?

1791
02:03:07,877 --> 02:03:09,586
Darling, you're forgetting...

1792
02:03:09,796 --> 02:03:11,873
I want my toy back.

1793
02:03:12,091 --> 02:03:13,372
Sorry.

1794
02:03:15,971 --> 02:03:18,545
I hope you're taking me
for a walk.

1795
02:03:18,767 --> 02:03:20,807
