It's good,

He is in a hurry.

- What does he want from me? - I don't know.

What's your name ?

Boyarsky.

Ceslaw Jan Bojarski.

Let's say "Jan". Don't be mad at me.

- I don't work here, sir.

I hear you've got talent, Jan.

It's good.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Ah good ?

But do you know who I am?

Of course.

Everyone knows you, Mr. Scola.

- So you know I'm not talking about mechanics.

I also deal in fakes.

- I... - No need to lie.

Your boyfriend praised your qualities to me.

So, since I don't like competition,

You're going to work for me.

By the way, you're not Jewish, are you?

Ah! This boy has nothing but good qualities!

- Look at these visas, Mr. Taylorman.

You won't find anything better.

- With that, you're already in Switzerland. - Thank you.

- That makes 7,000 with visas.

- We said 5,000. - I had to review

My prices are rising.

That's all I have.

And that, that's worth something.

Playful piano

Door and jingle

Remarks in German

I don't understand German!

I learned Spanish.

Does "Volver a casa" ring a bell?

Non ?

I'll leave it to you.

She sighs.

Everything is fine ?

Come on, let's dance.

So, have you thought about it?

Are we getting married soon?

I'm not going to be free.

Playful piano

We will have 3 children.

Two boys and a girl who will look like you.

We'll also have a dog, for hunting.

Of course!

Melancholic music

Laughter

Crackling

Oh no!

It's what ?

A system I'm working on.

A coffee maker that turns itself on

at wake-up time.

Whistle

An invention of my own.

Tinkle

- It's 7pm, right? - Yes.

I still have a few adjustments to make.

How did you get there?

In France ?

- I was an officer during the war and...

I was taken prisoner.

I escaped from a camp in Hungary

And I came here.

You're pulling my leg.

No not at all.

She laughed.

He grunts.

And otherwise, apart from coffee makers,

What are you dreaming about, Mr. Bojarski?

Engine rumble

- With this marvel, no more stains.

The ink flows thanks to...

to a very thin ball

It rolls when you press the pen. It's revolutionary.

- You are familiar with the Barjon company,

M. Bojari?

We sell ink, not just pens.

The more the pens leak, the more ink we sell.

Why would I want a pen that doesn't leak?

- Because a disposable pen can be thrown away and replaced.

The schoolchildren change every month.

The stenographers, every week.

Imagine the benefits.

- Your drawings are interesting. - Thank you.

- But you're knocking on the wrong door.

I brought a prototype.

Try it.

Have you filed a patent?

I am in the process of doing so.

- That's not enough, in business law.

Do you think I'm a thief?

- Try it and I'll drag you into court.

And whom will the judge believe?

A Polish immigrant or a former resistance fighter?

- These photos are good, you shouldn't have given them away.

You couldn't stand them anymore.

Well, I'm sorry.

Dad!

Hey!

- Are you alright, my darling? - Yes.

- Where is Mom? - In the kitchen.

Shall we go see her?

Come on, stay there.

Make yourself comfortable.

- I'm warning you, tonight my mother is awful.

- Oh, really? - Hm.

"That's not like her, though." She laughs.

- Did your appointment go well?

Too bad for them.

I married an inventor, not a tie salesman.

Oh, yes!

It's pivoting!

Oh yes, indeed!

You can adjust the height,

thanks to this hydraulic column.

- Do you see the handle? - There?

Oh! That's a bit low.

- You can put it back together. The handle is here.

You adjust it as you see fit.

That's great.

Have you found a manufacturer who's interested?

Not yet, but I have contacts.

- Jan, I can find you a job in my company.

- Would you be interested in doing deliveries? - Dad, Jan is an engineer.

- Yes, but we won't always help you.

- France does not recognize his diploma.

- France welcomes you and we'll put you up.

You have plenty of apartments.

- That's still one less rent payment.

I can write you a check.

Don't worry. You're welcome.

Daddy, come give me a kiss!

I'm coming, my little one!

Melancholic music

- I love it when you pick my pockets.

- Soon, we will be more dependent on them.

I promise you.

I don't want you to worry.

I'm not worried.

- As I already told you, I was born in Gdansk.

My papers were lost during the war.

- So, you don't exist. - That's absurd.

You see that I exist.

There's nothing I can do about it.

And it's full of mistakes.

Learn to write French first.

Mooing and bleating

Guys!

Lalanne?

So.

- Gastaud? - Yeah.

- Colson? - Yes.

- And Faivre. - There.

Et Bojarski.

Et Dog... Dow...

Dow is Dow.

Don't come back on Monday.

- We were hired for 2 weeks.

- I have French citizens who are given priority.

Damn, what are you talking about?

Do you think they carry meat better than we do?

- They make less of a fuss. - Never mind, Dow.

You don't put brains where there aren't any.

"Liberty, equality, fraternity."

I'm getting out of this shitty country.

Jan.

I didn't escape, I was pardoned.

And how are you doing?

Apparently, things aren't going well.

It's okay, I'm managing.

- You're a family man now, aren't you?

What do you want from me?

It's too green.

And I'm not even talking about print quality.

The colors bleed down the sides.

He's really ugly.

- You see that I need you. My guys are useless.

I need someone better.

I have never copied any tickets.

Everything has to start somewhere.

Rest assured, those are true.

- Cheers, Mr. Plastics Engineer.

- Consulting engineer. - It's the same thing.

You are my hero, Bojarski.

"Well, well, well" Ray Ventura

Hey! Hey! Hey! I feel airborne

But suddenly there's a knock at my door

And I recognize the voice that I like.

Well! Well! Well! Spring is back!

Hey guys.

Light and exciting music

Non,

The boss asked me to stay because we were running late.

- Hey! Cry of pain

Yes, I have to leave you here.

Kiss the flea.

- Do you know what we do with the scales?

Cry of pain

- Go on, kick him out.

- What are you doing ?

I admire your work.

Here, guys like you who struggle, it ends badly for them.

Light and exciting music

- 5 years in prison for forging documents,

30 for counterfeit bills.

Welcome to the big leagues.

Suzanne ?

How are you ?

I waited for you all night.

- The boss gave me the day off, he approved my prototypes.

I belong to both of you.

All by myself.

I dropped Aline off at my mother's.

SO...

The neighbors could see us.

But we have nothing to hide.

And?

What is this ?

- An advance payment for the patent of my pen.

Well, you see?

I knew that one day your talent would be recognized.

Look at.

I also have a surprise for you.

It's true ?

"Wayra" Here Sumac

- And here you go. - Thank you.

OK, let's load! Let's go!

Hurry up!

Be careful,

It's a delicate matter.

Don't move!

Stop moving

or I'll shoot!

Deep music

- In the car! Hurry!

Come on !

Don't move!

Let's leave from here! Come on!

Alright, let's get the hell out of here!

Come on, come on! Let's go!

He shouts.

Go! Woohoo!

Hello, Mr. Bojarski.

Hello Sir.

Dad!

Dad, you're squeezing me too tight! You're suffocating me.

Pardon.

- I've never seen one this good.

- That's the problem. Our agents struggle to distinguish between them.

They weren't tamper-proof?

- I will pass the information along.

To alert the Élysée Palace? No.

Let's first assess the production that is circulating.

- I will not risk the security of our tickets.

- I'm just asking you to trust me.

I will find the counterfeiters and arrest them, as always.

Relax, old man. You seem on edge.

- While he was in Washington for conferences,

Chief Commissioner Mattei has been recalled

to lead the investigation into the Rambouillet robbery,

which resulted in 5 deaths, including 2 police officers.

We were able to interview him about counterfeiting.

Commissioner!

Commissioner, a word about the robbery.

From the Bank of France van?

I can only tell you

that I will avenge the innocent victims.

- I will send the guilty parties to prison. - Thank you.

- France - England rugby union.

The French are outmaneuvering the British.

Field Marshal Montgomery...

Do you think that will be okay?

What are you going to do with my tickets?

If you are asked,

You say you don't know.

Oh, there are rules.

You can't just spend them like that.

Intriguing music

- You're right. Look elsewhere, I prefer it that way.

Work hard!

Is he here?

Commissioner.

A jeweler was paid by a customer

- with a wad of counterfeit bills. - And?

The tickets we're looking for.

Does your client have a name?

Don't move.

Rock 'n' roll music

Police, open up!

Get out of that vehicle! And the young man too!

- Yeah, I'm coming... Mermaid

Don't you want to talk to us, Serge?

The attack on the Bank of France van,

Does that ring a bell?

5 dead, including 2 police officers.

Perrier...

You see? This is the weapon we found on you.

And a weapon.

It has a memory.

- I don't know what you're talking about. - A ballistic study

would tell us if the weapon was used in the robbery.

But if you have nothing to fear,

That's great for you.

Screw you.

- If you help us, we'll forget about this weapon.

But act smart and you'll end up on the chopping block.

It's up to you.

The cops arrive.

Take the merchandise. You burn the rest!

OK, patron.

Let's get out of here!

- Take your license plates and hardware with you.

We'll meet in my car.

Hurry up, quickly!

The crates!

Both cans!

Hurry up! Come on, move! (Snap)

The cops!

The guys are here!

Don't move!

Jan ?

- I have some big news to announce.

I'm going to work here, on my own.

When did you decide that?

Well, here.

Another guy got injured in the lab. We're working without protection.

I prefer to work for myself. If you agree, of course.

Hm.

Anyway, I trust you.

- Is that true? - Hm.

- However, we will have to be careful.

I'm going to work with plastic.

There will be high-temperature tanks.

Therefore, entry is prohibited here.

- Can we die? - Hm.

Will you be careful too?

Of course.

Are you coming?

Fingerprint analysis

It yielded nothing.

They do not belong to any known criminal.

Those are the printer's.

- Never imprisoned or taken into custody.

He is either cautious, or he is new.

Both cases amount to the same thing.

Nothing can help us.

So, are we closing the case?

Non. On attend.

A forger doesn't change professions.

He will return to service, and when he does,

We'll be there to corner him.

You will be proud to be called Bojarski.

Does he have a mistress?

- Oh no, Mom. Stop. - What?

- You never really know your husband. - I do.

- You don't know exactly what his job is.

He's an inventor!

What don't you understand about that?

- As you wish. Goodbye, my darling.

Bye.

- Mom! Mom! Pierre, he bumped himself!

- Where do I put him, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department?

Far from me.

I don't want him to know that I'm floundering.

So what's the point of these dinners, then?

Doorbell. Go open it.

Okay, I'll put it opposite Solange.

As long as ?

- My colleague from the press department at Chanel.

Make an effort, André.

M. Perrier.

- Sorry, I'll take it away for a minute.

Hurry up. You're not ready.

- Printed with the same plates as Scola.

- Are we absolutely sure about that? - Some.

But they make their own paper.

The Bank of France is stunned.

Yeah, it's about time.

Surveillance operations are being restarted.

Stationers, informants, printers, the whole lot of them.

- Aline, be careful! Pierre is crying.

Look at this!

You're never there when I need you.

- It's for you that I work all the time!

I wish you would work less

and that you take care of your children.

Let's start dating again!

It's not right to say that.

- Is it fair to leave me to do everything myself?

Here, take your son.

- Finish wiping! Pierre is crying.

I need to get some fresh air.

Where are you going?

To take my mind off things.

There's a knock.

Wait, don't open it!

Pierre groaned.

- There's a knock. - It's the police!

T'es con !

- I'd like you to meet Jackie, we're getting married!

Pleased to meet you!

"He saw me naked" Mistinguett

Remarks in Polish

Completely naked

- Without any cover-up or bra

I adore !

I blushed even during the vaccinations

He saw me naked

It's all in the hips!

- Ouch, ouch, ouch. Look at that hip sway.

Come on, Suzanne!

Show us what you can do.

- Oh, no! - Come on, Suzanne!

- Come on! - Come on.

... thoughtless

I neglected to veil

a few little frills

He saw me naked

- That's fine, sweetie, I'll hire you!

I need to ask

I'd like to know what my husband thinks about it.

- Not him. He was educated by the Jesuits.

You might be surprised, Dow.

- How's work going? - It's going well.

I set up my transport company in Montreuil.

It works pretty well.

The women laugh.

I hired ex-convicts to drive the trucks.

Convicts?

Isn't that a problem?

- No. They have a second chance.

You yourself have become a model citizen.

Exact.

I got my papers.

I even have my craftsman's card.

- You didn't wait for her to earn a living.

Did you mistake me for a Pole?

Distant barking

- There you go. - Thank you.

Here.

- Until this morning, I wasn't taking those anymore.

- Oh really, why? - Too many fakes in circulation.

- What has changed since this morning?

- The Bank of France announced that it would reimburse the counterfeit items.

Do you know how much money this is going to cost them?

It seems like you're having fun.

Intriguing music

There is an error.

There are some missing.

- What is this nonsense?

Be more specific.

The end of Minerva and Hercules.

- We could no longer allow all these fakes to proliferate.

We detected more than 200 in one month.

Not to mention the ones we missed.

It costs us a fortune.

Between us, the Richelieu is nothing.

The real innovation...

Here it is.

Look at this beauty.

Land and Sea.

Infalsifiable.

- Is this supposed to cheer me up?

How do I stop my counterfeiters?

The public interest takes precedence.

- Does it excite you to wage war on me?

Does that make you feel important?

- You are not the center of the world.

You don't like it

This is for your beautiful eyes and this...

I'm paying for the table.

There are people who are sleeping.

Is everything alright? Is the evening going well?

Come on, gentlemen!

Hands on the wall, we hurry.

and you present your papers.

- Where are they? - In your pocket?

- What did they do? - His name?

- Bojarski. That's not from our region.

Foreigners with French women, I find that suspicious.

- What's suspicious?

Let go.

- Listen to your husband, madam.

- Whose money is this? - It's my money.

I'm giving you back the wallet.

- Don't lose your papers. - Thank you.

Ladies, good evening.

You're kidding, Dow.

Tomorrow, I will file a complaint.

No, no.

You're not going to do anything.

Are you afraid of the police now?

- You wouldn't understand. - Since when?

Listen, Suzanne!

It took me 10 years to get my papers!

I don't want any problems!

Tension music

- Bojarski, do you work for the police?

Are you involved in arms trafficking?

- I do what pays. Try it.

- Do you know how much it will cost you if the cops catch you?

Stop acting so high and mighty.

You haven't always been completely innocent.

- For us, there is only one thing to do,

We need to go unnoticed.

- And be exploited to the bone?

Is this what life is all about? Stop looking at me like that!

I owe you nothing!

- You owe me nothing and I owe you nothing.

I don't want to see you anymore.

There's nothing to understand.

You're putting my family in danger, so get out of my life!

It's clear ?

Mr. Minister.

Social music

- I'll be back. - Are you sure?

Mr. Minister.

Commissioner.

I'll leave you now.

- The general spoke to me about you, and not in complimentary terms.

I need more resources.

- You already have 12 officers. Do you know how much that costs us?

- Not as much as changing currency.

The specialists from the Criminal Investigation Department think

that the counterfeits come from a gang of experts.

Can I be honest?

We don't care about the gang.

It's the engraver who counts.

If I catch him, I'll put an end to the trafficking.

- If all it takes is to corner him, what are you waiting for?

A word of advice, Mattei.

Spend less time on social events and more time behind your desk.

Intriguing music

- Where do we put this one?

It looks like an apple.

Yeah, a frozen apple.

No, a bitten apple.

Shall we put him in, Santa Claus?

Intriguing music

- Up there? There will already be a sphere.

Can I help you?

I wanted to know.

What ?

You know this shed.

No. You're hiding something from me.

- Did you have to come here in the middle of the night?

- Come. I'll show you around tomorrow. - No.

This evening.

What are you playing, Suzanne?

I want to know who I live with.

That's a roll-on deodorant.

It's like the pen, but bigger.

- I'm going to patent it. - Stop.

Tell me what you're really doing here.

After you.

Did you steal them?

- No, not at all. They belong to me.

You wanted to know what I was doing here.

Now you know.

I sell them off ticket by ticket.

Day after day.

Each time in a different location in Paris.

Are your patents just for show?

- Nobody cares about the inventions of a Pole.

How long have you been playing this?

I'm not playing.

I was fed up with being treated like I was worthless.

I couldn't take it anymore, I was so ashamed.

And what about when you're rotting in prison?

- That won't happen. - Oh, really?

- Why? - I'm taking precautions.

Are you smarter than everyone else?

Yes.

No, but can you hear yourself?

Who do you think you are?

Look at.

Mine will be even more beautiful than the original.

Are you going to continue?

- If I work my hardest,

In a year, I will have produced hundreds of them.

And what about us?

But what?

Did you prefer it when we lived off your parents?

Or was I just stuck in a series of crappy odd jobs?

I never thought you were pathetic.

Suzanne.

Don't let me go.

How much time do you have left?

What would you say if I said something to you?

You would gain a few months.

In exchange for what?

- What can you tell me about that?

- It's a fine piece of work. - But what else?

Slight laugh. What?

Do you see this petal?

I know.

This is one of the engraver's rare mistakes.

The real Terre et Mer has a withered petal.

- It's not a mistake, it's a signature.

Do you have a stem?

- Why would he sign his own tickets?

To distinguish the real ones from the fake ones.

At the risk of drawing attention to oneself?

Exactly.

He wants his talent to be recognized.

The copyist wants to do better than the original.

It's not to impress the shopkeepers.

- That's to say ?

- You don't know him, but he knows you.

He wants to touch you. To move you.

Your client is not a criminal.

So what is it, then?

- An artist who earns more from his tickets

that you, by investigating

on him.

His accomplices let him do it?

- Who says he has any? - No, impossible.

That's the job of at least 6 people.

It's loyal to something. It has convictions.

To achieve this result, they mixed

50-50, at a rate of 10 rolling papers per ticket.

You will then go and question the tobacconists in question.

- So, why did you choose to copy the Land and Sea?

rather than the Richelieu?

It's more profitable.

More difficult, too.

- I'm glad you noticed.

On this one, the watermarks are more complex.

The front and back faces must be superimposed.

And then there's intaglio printing,

with this slightly embossed print.

- And the faces of those two women, too.

Their gaze is less direct than that of the Richelieu.

They don't stare at anyone.

- Can I ask you a question? - Go ahead.

- Who are you doing all this for?

For whom else but you?

I am not your only audience.

What do your accomplices think?

You work alone, don't you?

All that traveling must be exhausting.

I'm going to have to leave you now.

I'm warning you.

I will arrest you in due course.

- I will stop on my own.

Non.

You'll never stop...

Because you're not doing this for the money, are you?

Sorry, sir. We're closing.

Yes, I'll go right away.

Train squeak

- Identity check. Please take out your papers.

Ladies and gentlemen, take out your papers!

- Come on, move forward. - Your papers, please.

- Identity check! - Your papers.

- Go for it.

- Please, your papers. Thank you.

GOOD.

Your papers, please.

Get your papers out!

Open your suitcase.

Train squeak

Ladies and gentlemen, take out your papers!

- You! Whistle blows

Stop him!

Move along.

Train squeak

Board.

Hm ?

- Can Sophie come and sleep over on Saturday?

Sophie who?

- Sophie, my best friend since primary school!

I've told you about her 100 times!

- I don't want you to invite people over to the house.

- I'm doing well at school. Why are you punishing me?

Lower your voice, please.

- Nobody comes and you're never there!

- I'm working so that you can have a better life than I did at your age.

And what kind of life did you have?

What did your parents do?

There's nothing to know!

- It's like your job! What's the latest thing?

- What did you invent? - The latest thing

allowed me to buy you this television!

- I don't care! I want to see

Real people!

Melancholic music

You've already lost your friends.

Do you want to lose your children too?

Why are you still doing this?

- For the past two months, he has been sourcing his supplies exclusively from the south of France.

It started in Nice, then Cannes, Toulon, Marseille.

Then he went back up

all the way to Lyon.

- He's methodical. - Too much so.

Look, after Lyon,

He turned off towards Grenoble.

- Thanks to the railway network. - He is less cautious.

If he continues like this,

He will soon be at...

Dark music

He will come.

He called the boss yesterday to check his stock.

- And if he goes to another tobacconist? - Impossible.

He is methodical.

How are you, Legal?

- No. Can you replace me, please?

- I'd like that. - Thank you.

Intriguing music

She is now on the rope.

while in last position, there is Nimble Boy.

OK, that's a good start!

- Go! - Go!

Gérard, a Bastos, please.

Television commentary

A Bastos...

- That makes 10. - Gérard,

Are you going to do that again?

- With pleasure. - That's kind of you, thank you.

Brouhaha

Ominous music

- That's good! That's good! - Yes!

Go, run! Run!

Come on !

Brouhaha

Come on !

Come on, my pretty!

Go, run!

- What's he doing?

Marshal?

Vomiting

Oh, oh !

- Don't worry! - Sorry, I'm sick.

Sir ?

- I called to order some OCB paper.

- Ah, it's you? I'll go get your order.

Ominous music. Uproar.

Tense music, hubbub

No, Roc Épine!

Oh !

- Perrier, let's go.

Tension music

Police !

In the toilet.

Tension music

That's not true!

Have your fingerprints taken.

And call the guy from the composite sketches.

- He won't be here until tomorrow.

- So what? Do you have a better suggestion?

- Excuse me, the 10:12 PM train to Paris,

Is it on this platform?

- No, it's cancelled. Tomorrow at 7:15 am.

THANKS.

- Hello. - With the DIY fair,

We are usually fully booked.

Thank you, sir.

- Ah. Mr. Mattei. Your taxi is booked for tomorrow.

THANKS.

- Give us 10 minutes. We'll take care of your luggage.

Could you let me know when room 23 is ready?

Soft jazz music

- Good evening. A vodka. - Yes, sir.

Good day sir.

Do you have a light?

Is that you we see on the news?

The counterfeit money commissioner?

- It's been a long time since anyone recognized me.

My glory days are behind me.

In the glory days, then.

Soft jazz music

- What do you do for a living, sir...

Brabin. Maurice Brabin.

I am a DIY tool sales representative.

I'm here for the show tomorrow.

- I'm incapable of hammering a nail.

Are you a handyman?

A little bit.

- And how does one become a tool sales representative?

- My dream was to become an engineer.

I would be today, if I had stayed in Poland.

More "Brabin"...

Brabinsky.

I had to Frenchify my name to find a job.

Please.

Yes, sir.

Soft jazz music

- Are you in Vichy for work or for a spa treatment?

Do I look like I'm on a detox?

So, work, then.

Are you on the trail of a counterfeiter?

Excuse me. I love true crime stories.

I subscribe to Detective magazine.

You have to pass the time while on tour.

I had a lead, yes.

And ?

I was this close to stopping him.

Soft jazz music

I've been tracking the same guy for 8 years.

I've been floundering and ruining my career for 8 years.

Even my wife can't stand me anymore.

- Do you talk about your work with your wife?

Not you?

- For me, drills and screwdrivers don't interest many people.

While you...

I am not an example.

Two divorces...

three weddings...

Until your next arrest.

- I'm not the one who deserves the most pity.

Oh yes ?

Can you imagine?

To create masterpieces without being able to tell anyone about them.

It's like being a ghostwriter for a Goncourt Prize winner.

In his place, it would eat me up inside.

- Maybe not him.

Oh, you are.

- How do you know?

I'm starting to get a sense of the guy.

Clicking of a lighter

Good...

I've bothered you enough.

It's for me.

Are you sure?

Soft jazz music

That bothers me.

You're going to offend me.

Thank you for the conversation.

I was in a chatty mood tonight.

One second.

Suzanne laughed.

Door slams

- Get out of here!

Stop!

- I don't want to see you anymore! Do you hear me?

- Never again! - Stop!

Barking

- Here's the Dauphine. It was to celebrate your driving licence.

It's been a long time ?

Do you love him/her?

Answer me.

- Do you love him? - Let go of me.

It's been two years since you promised me you'd stop.

Two years have passed and nothing has changed.

I can't stand the fear of the police showing up anymore.

I'm almost there, Suzanne.

Give me some time.

Stop treating me like an idiot!

You'll keep going, so leave me alone!

Stop! Stop!

Stop that.

Stop. Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop!

Not moving away

- The fingerprints match those found 10 years ago

at the Traction gang's place.

What do we do? Do we broadcast it?

- To take the risk of it disappearing?

No. We'll keep that to ourselves.

In a few months,

we will make a gradual transition

towards the new franc.

Our experts have created a new generation

of banknotes that are completely unforgeable.

Okay. Thank you. Jacques, I'll let you speak.

Thank you, Mr. Director.

Our engineers have redesigned paper

by integrating new frameworks

and original filigree patterns.

This new banknote printed using intaglio printing

is lower than the Richelieu. The Bank of France...

Sir. Sir!

I beg your pardon.

Melancholic music

"Forgive" Vanessa Contenay-Quinones

Don't worry. It's over.

The pain comes and goes.

I'm used to it.

- Yeah. And how long has she been gone?

My pain?

No, Suzanne.

Almost a year.

And you think she'll come back?

If it's any consolation,

I've lost everything.

Whether it's Jackie, my job, my company...

I owe money to all of Paris.

I don't even know who to turn to.

Intriguing music

Bojarski, what have you done?

Is that why Suzanne left?

- Suzanne couldn't take this double life anymore.

- And you, did you put up with this double life?

- How much will it take for you to get your head above water?

Oh... around...

10 000.

Hold.

- No need to reimburse me. - I can't take it like that.

- I didn't say "without compensation". - Yes.

- I need you. Do you understand what I'm doing here?

Well, France didn't want us.

So you went after his money.

Rule No. 1:

no more than one ticket per shop.

One shop, one ticket, one street.

Rule No. 2: nothing ostentatious.

Forget about cars and clothes.

Rule No. 3: Discretion.

Don't change your habits.

- That's perfect, I don't have any habits.

Doorbell

Hi, Dad.

You could kiss me.

I'm late.

Ah, Jan.

She's the spitting image of her mother at her age.

I wish you courage.

- What are you talking about now?

I'll leave you now.

- Pierre, get ready, your father is here.

It's good !

How are you doing ?

My mother is going to drive me crazy.

But I'm visiting an apartment tomorrow.

Have you seen the doctor?

He talks about stress and overwork.

I wanted to tell you...

I'm going to stop.

I had to start from scratch with the Bonaparte.

But in a year, it's over.

I promise you.

- I dreamt that you were being arrested.

I was almost relieved.

And you, behind bars, were proud.

I'll never go to prison.

Even if the police find me,

No engraver from the Bank of France can equal me.

- Pierre, hurry up!

- Well, what happened to you?

- A big kid called me a Pole at school.

Will you bring it back to me tonight?

Yes yes.

- You're going to tell me. - Hm.

Jan.

I'm still waiting for you to sign the divorce papers.

- It's my math homework, I can't do it.

- I wasn't that bad at math at your age.

- I don't understand fractions at all.

- Yes, but it also depends on how it's explained to you.

That's Mr. Zulawski.

When he speaks, it sounds like Latin.

Ah, the Poles...

Good...

SO...

Can you read the title to me?

"A gardener plants geraniums"

"around the circular perimeter..."

Melancholic music

Horn

So, shall we move?

Melancholic music

Melancholic music

Distant, cheerful music

You pay everything back in 3 days!

- Did you understand? - Yes, that's good!

Remarks in Polish

Fucking hell.

- What happened to you? - This? It's a jealous husband.

I did a good job.

With a fake Bonaparte in the trifecta, I got three real ones.

Not bad, huh?

Oh yes ?

You have 5 tickets to sell per day, you earn 25 francs per ticket.

Do you know many jobs that pay as well?

Non.

- Isn't that enough for you? - Yes. Is there a problem?

- You owed me 8,000 new francs.

- There are 7,500 in small denominations

and 300 with the Bonapartes. That makes 8,000.

There are 300 missing. Come on.

- Read the ticket numbers. - No.

Lis !

39320 V60... yeah.

Read the numbers.

39320 V60... they're the same.

- Obviously, since I'm the one who made them!

No, it's the tobacconist...

That's enough now!

Stop taking me for a fool!

You think I don't recognize my fakes?

- Wait, please. I messed up, I won't do it again.

I need this money. Phone

- We're going to take a break. I'll call you back.

Yes, hello? Yes, that's him.

I was expecting your call.

Quite.

Understood. Thank you.

Intriguing music

Next!

I would like...

I would like 10 Treasury bonds.

Of course.

- Hello, miss. I'm being rude.

Intriguing music

Is there a problem?

I've had enough.

Wait a minute.

Tension music

I'm coming.

- Is it good? - It's good.

I have four. The director confirmed this to me.

I'll have more tomorrow morning.

I'll come back.

Tension music

There you go, thank you...

- Wait, sir, your money. - Oh, shit...

So.

- Thank you. - Goodbye, sir.

Tension music

- Is that how the counterfeiter passes off his banknotes?

- Possible. - That would be clever.

Imprudent, above all. And new.

If he had done that from the beginning,

We would have locked it away a long time ago.

Do you know what that means, Perrier?

He shouldn't be working alone anymore.

He hired someone

And this person is not respecting the rules.

We've been waiting 15 years for this misstep.

Alright, have a good day.

Ominous music

- What are you doing?

We're almost done.

- Shall we give you a demonstration? - Yes, of course.

What are you working on?

- Dad's new invention. - It's yours.

A single-dose coffee machine.

In a package, we put

- a dose of ground coffee... - We slide it into the machine,

The water is heating up...

- It passes through the packaging which acts as a filter.

And then we throw it away.

One dose, one coffee.

Have you gone back to your inventions?

Tension music

Horns

Good fences make good neighbors.

Phone

- Hello? - They've spotted me! Move!

Don't move!

Who are you on the phone with?

Don't hang up!

Who was it?

Person.

An error.

On continue ?

- If you want us to take you to the hospital,

Tell us who you work for.

I work alone.

- A genius like you? I'd be surprised.

I don't care if you believe me...

He screams. Fuck!

If you speak,

You fall under Article 138 of the Penal Code.

It says that whoever denounces a counterfeiter

can obtain an absolute excuse.

Does that ring a bell?

- No. - To be clear, if you speak,

You avoid forced labor and prison.

SO...

Is that true?

- I don't carry the Penal Code around with me.

You'll have to take my word for it.

- So, untie me and then... we'll talk.

Melancholic music

Okay, Pierre. Shall we go?

Oh no, Mom. Five more minutes.

Ominous music

It works, we did it!

We succeeded.

Melancholic music

Boiling water

There's a knock.

Door

Jan Ceslaw Bojarski ?

Yes.

You are under arrest.

- What makes me think it's true?

The clinking of handcuffs

Melancholic music

- Where are you going? - I'm going home.

How long have you been married?

It's been 20 years.

But we haven't lived together for a year.

- You claim that in 20 years minus 1 year,

You've never seen anything?

Who are you to know what you should have seen?

Noise from the search

SO ?

- Nothing for now. - Go back upstairs, search everywhere.

Strip the house bare if necessary.

Yes, boss.

- Detach it.

I'll find it.

You know I'll find it!

No, I don't know anything at all.

This is probably yet another one of your false leads.

What is this?

- A state-of-the-art coffee machine.

Would you like to try it?

I didn't dare ask you.

One dose, one coffee.

The perfect dosage.

- You already have the advertising slogan.

I am an inventor.

That doesn't seem very economical to me.

- Maybe, but it's practical and very good.

Here.

I'm bringing in a jackhammer.

Or do we settle this like civilized people?

Soft, melancholic music

- Who helped you put all this together?

Person.

My wife has nothing to do with it.

Swear to me that she won't have anything and I'll tell you everything.

Melancholic music

- Commissioner, please! - Please, for Paris Match!

Commissioner!

Madam, please!

Please step back.

- Back up, back up! - One more.

No, not the family.

Melancholic music

Door and engine rumble

It's there.

Come on.

Door crackling

Distant, jumbled thoughts

I have bad news.

- The Bank of France refused to hire me?

- The USA and the USSR wanted your services,

But the general vetoed it.

- He didn't like that a Pole did better than his Frenchmen.

If someone had told me that one day de Gaulle would know me...

I had a really hard time with that one.

I found his gaze lifeless.

- On yours, it has more shine, that's true.

- I tried to improve the original a little.

Page 10, they're talking about you.

Door and lock slamming

Melancholic music

- The court and the jury decide by an absolute majority

de condamner Bojarski Jan Ceslaw

sentenced to 20 years in criminal prison

and order the confiscation and destruction

of all the tickets he counterfeited.

Mixed comments from journalists Melancholic music

How are you feeling?

Bah...

I'm practically a celebrity here.

Outside too, you know?

The neighbors never recovered.

"Neither does your mother, I imagine." She laughed.

You were right.

I should have stopped sooner.

Hold.

I signed them.

I apologize for taking so long.

Tu vois, Bojarski...

I would prefer those to be fake.

- I'm going to stay here for a very long time.

Listen.

Go out onto the terrace...

He continues to whisper.

Mysterious music

And now,

the highlight of the sale...

a genuine counterfeit banknote, a Bojarski.

nicknamed "the Cézanne of counterfeit money".

For this Bojarski from the Bonaparte period,

considered his masterpiece, 1,000 euros.

I'll take the 1,000 euros. 1,100...

1 200, 1 300, 1 400, 1 500...

2 000, 2 100, 2 200, 2 300...
