I raised the boy. 69 00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:50,640 If he's not hurting someone out of meanness, it's out of stupidity. 70 00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:57,560 Ah, there's your wife... with Borgo. 71 00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:59,560 We keep our distance. 72 00:12:06,650 --> 00:12:10,640 - Mr. Meier, I heard you were here. - Roberto was waiting outside the prison. 73 00:12:19,490 --> 00:12:23,640 Meier, I'd almost forgotten.

How's it going? 80 00:12:45,690 --> 00:12:48,520 I'm doing what I can. 81 00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:55,450 Better hurry. We go to court in just three months. 82 00:12:55,490 --> 00:13:00,520 If he pleads not guilty, he could end up with life, hard labour. 83 00:13:00,570 --> 00:13:05,560 In the eyes of the law, an admission is a sign of repentance. We get off with ten years. 84 00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:07,650 In the law's eyes you should admit to a crime you have committed? 85 00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:11,600 His police record is a mile long. That's what you'd call normal. 86 00:13:11,650 --> 00:13:15,440 His upbringing certainly wasn't normal. That's all evidence. 87 00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:21,640 Yes. A little humility in court would help. If he were repectful it would be impressive... 88 00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:25,600 ...A thief's son, deprived of education, etc. 89 00:13:25,650 --> 00:13:26,640 It's more than that. 90 00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:36,570 A community of thieves and prostitutes, whose kids were raised by a confidence man. That bastard. 91 00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:42,490 This is more than an old barnyard. Some weird things happened here. 92 00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:45,490 That's evidence. 93 00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:50,560 My old man died in prison. Theirs died shooting his way out of a bank. 94 00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:53,570 Some parents used to visit the place, now and then. 95 00:13:53,650 --> 00:13:58,530 Karl collected until they died. And then took what was left over. 96 00:13:58,530 --> 00:14:02,440 And we got whipped for an inheritance. 97 00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:05,650 Tell me... Do you really think the jurors will weep over that? 98 00:14:06,570 --> 00:14:08,530 Stop it Roberto, that doesn't help. 99 00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:12,680 When you've got the proof, that's all that's needed. They'll have to let him go. 100 00:14:15,690 --> 00:14:19,680 Say goodbye to your husband for me. 101 00:14:20,490 --> 00:14:22,610 - I'll do my best. - Go and see my brother tomorrow. 102 00:14:22,650 --> 00:14:24,690 - I was just there! - So what? 103 00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:28,480 Say no matter what it takes, you'll get him put of there. 104 00:14:32,650 --> 00:14:35,560 Last night they got rid of the girl I was counting on. 105 00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:40,450 You'll have to do a lot of lying to Xavier. Keep him calm. 106 00:14:40,490 --> 00:14:43,560 You want me to replace her? They wouldn't know me. 107 00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:47,600 - No, it's too risky. - You're warning me of risks? 108 00:14:48,490 --> 00:14:49,480 Oh yes. 109 00:14:53,530 --> 00:14:56,520 Did you come to take her from me? 110 00:14:56,570 --> 00:14:59,640 - I'm old enough to make my own decisions, now. - Goodbye. I'll be in touch. 111 00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:03,480 Listen... I want to say this in front of you, and him. He means a lot to me. 112 00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:07,480 When you and Xavier left, I had it rough. 113 00:15:07,530 --> 00:15:10,650 I took up with the worst kind. I even went to jail with them. 114 00:15:10,690 --> 00:15:15,640 And when I got out, I went with him. Because he was kind. The only one who was kind. 115 00:15:15,690 --> 00:15:19,650 For a woman it's important. 116 00:15:20,450 --> 00:15:24,440 The old pay for young flesh. You don't owe him a thing. 117 00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:31,650 'The Scoumoune', eh? 118 00:15:31,690 --> 00:15:36,450 Right... A bearer of bad luck, an outcast. A jinx. 119 00:15:36,490 --> 00:15:41,440 'Scoumoune' it's a sort of nickname we used in Italy. In the old days. 120 00:15:41,490 --> 00:15:45,480 And today? I doubt if he'll bear up under his bad luck. 121 00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:49,560 - One's nickname means nothing. - You're nicknamed 'The Dandy', aren't you?. 122 00:15:49,610 --> 00:15:54,560 - Fits you well. - We'll soon see how 'the Scoumoune' fits in. 123 00:15:54,610 --> 00:15:57,490 Not much longer to wait, either. 124 00:15:57,530 --> 00:16:01,490 Xavier knew more than he should. 125 00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:03,680 I won't make the same mistake with this one. 126 00:16:08,490 --> 00:16:11,690 He'll pack his bags... ...or he'll die. 127 00:16:14,690 --> 00:16:17,440 He'll die will he?

We've liquidated tougher customers than your pal. 698 01:34:49,370 --> 01:34:52,520 - Aren't you a little worried about where he is? - We don't worry easily. 699 01:34:53,330 --> 01:34:56,490 - You don't suppose we'd tell you where he is, do you? - Course not, pops. 700 01:34:56,490 --> 01:35:01,410 When you have a chance, tell him to send the deed to Roche, notere in Saint- Étienne. 701 01:35:01,450 --> 01:35:05,440 - I'll deliver the message. Is that all? - No, the lady comes with us. 702 01:35:05,490 --> 01:35:10,360 - We'll return her when we get the papers. - Out of the question. 703 01:35:10,450 --> 01:35:13,330 She's not involved in this. She stays where she is. 704 01:35:13,530 --> 01:35:15,360 Fire, kid. 705 01:35:18,490 --> 01:35:20,320 You'll be doing me a favour. 706 01:35:28,490 --> 01:35:29,530 Step aside. 707 01:35:36,490 --> 01:35:39,370 At least let her take her coat. 708 01:35:39,450 --> 01:35:40,440 Frisk it. 709 01:35:45,330 --> 01:35:50,280 Nevermind. Roberto will straighten it out. 710 01:35:50,330 --> 01:35:51,450 Georgia, the window! 711 01:36:02,290 --> 01:36:03,330 Come on, hurry. 712 01:36:47,410 --> 01:36:54,410 This one you know. It's Saratov. You want to see him? 713 01:37:24,330 --> 01:37:29,280 Well, that's that. What do you think of it? 714 01:37:29,330 --> 01:37:34,320 For a man with only one arm he can be proud of himself. 715 01:37:38,450 --> 01:37:43,320 Don't go too far. They'll want you for questioning. 716 01:37:43,370 --> 01:37:48,360 At least ten people saw him 100km from Paris when it happened. They won't ask too many questions. 717 01:37:48,410 --> 01:37:50,530 - And the broad? - What do you expect? 718 01:37:51,330 --> 01:37:54,320 She's in a state of shock, amnesia, the whole business. 719 01:38:03,370 --> 01:38:06,410 There are two of them left, one of them wounded. I've got to find them before Georgia gets out. 720 01:38:06,450 --> 01:38:10,440 Where will you find them? They're new guys. They come from nowhere. Nobody knows who they are. 721 01:38:10,490 --> 01:38:15,360 - Everybody casts a shadow. - Not these guys. You'd be smarter to forget them. 722 01:38:15,410 --> 01:38:18,320 Besides, you're sick of this business, remember. 723 01:38:18,370 --> 01:38:22,410 Too late for me to do anything else. Remember to visit Georgia every day in the hospital, will you? 724 01:38:22,450 --> 01:38:27,400 Will you listen to me? Times have changed, without Xavier and Migli there's no-one to cover your back. 725 01:38:27,490 --> 01:38:33,360 Don't you worry, I'll keep my back to the wall. 726 01:38:33,450 --> 01:38:34,520 Xavier? 727 01:38:37,490 --> 01:38:39,320 I'll take care of it. 728 01:39:07,410 --> 01:39:10,370 Shit. A prince.
