How are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

You alright?

Hello big boss.

How are things on your hand?

As well as it can be.

You try your luck?

You came alone?

How are you? -I'm fine.

You play with me?

Arrival of KLM Fly 404

from Amsterdam.

But...

Someone's expecting you Sirs?

We have an appointment with Mr Grunstein.

We have an appointment with Mrs Grunstein.

Mr Vanhoof.

I'm pleased to meet you.

I'm Mr Grunstein's assistant.

Follow me please.

I'm very pleased to meet you Mr Vanhoof.

As much as me.

My assistant Hugo. -Pleased to meet you.

Sit down.

Please.

You take charge of an awesome deal Mr Vanhoof.

But Mr Riesbok spoke highly of you.

I'm very grateful myself to Mr Riesbok for giving me my first deal.

To resume and if I understand well...

it would be better for both of us to get along.

You...

because it's the first deal you make with me on behalf of Mr Riesbok.

And me...

to get on good terms with you.

I think the merchandise I brought you would be convincing enough to any client and don't need any seduction operation.

Well show me these wonders.

Please Hugo.

You're not...

Call your wife. Quick.

Sablons

28

32.

Yes my darling...

I think it would be in my interest if you did what these men ask.

I advise you solemnly

to give the alarm only when you you have collected your wife.

You kidnapped her?

Obey to these men my dear Pierre. -Yes Mrs.

These men are thugs and the life of my huband is at stake.

When I was a kid my mom drove me in the exact same car.

You hear me Pierre?

Yes Sir.

Shut up and go.

I was very pleased of this first meeting.

Sir, there's something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Do you have a smoke dear Sir?

This brand is ok?

It will do.

Thank you for the tip.

Let her run.

It's you who shot him?

Yes.

I had to.

All went well? -Righto. We have the case.

Show them the merchandise.

It's the number we planned?

Yes.

We meet in four days as agreed.

Until then keep quiet.

Especially after the screw-up you just made.

Good bye.

Laurent.

Shoot one tire.

Hey, Jeff...

And if I had something to say to Jeff

that's none of your business?

It's me deciding what's Laurent's business or is not.

Alright.

By the way...

I almost forgot to show you what I found.

And since we split six ways.

Thanks.

You figured well not to keep it.

Cerdan, Robinson...

Halimi.

Delana.

Cohen. Robert Cohen.

Look. Robinson. I have him twice.

Carpentier. Mister Carpentier.

I have all of them. -Enough, we know it by heart your autograph book.

Alright.

Still lots of great fighters walked in my gym.

One day, ten or twelve years ago

I see a small man walking in, the kind to fly through the street if you slap him.

15 kg with a weigh in each pocket. You see what I mean?

The small guy asks me -"Mr Lescure could you please train me?"

I look at him and I tell him. "Train you to do what small guy?

To knot your tie or to brush your shoes?" He answers "train me to fight Mr Lescure".

I look at him and I tell him. "Small guy...

you think I'm a child molester?

He looks at me and he says "don't bother Mr Lescure".

And three years later the small guy was the light-weight champion of France.

I told you before? -Two hundred times.

Really?

But go ahead. Tell us again.

It will help pass the time.

Time goes by real slow.

When you're waiting

time really drags.

Escpecially when you're waiting for a pal who's bringing a million bucks and who's never been late his whole life.

Is that right, Merkes?

Yes absolutely.

On the other hand waiting for a million bucks

is a new experience for me.

Me I noticed something about girls.

Let's suppose you're waiting for a girl.

Huhuh. With a bunch of flowers under a lamp post.

If you want.

Anyway, if you tell yourself she's not coming.

If you haven't got faith

she won't show up.

If you believe she will she will.

Did you ever notice that?

Hey! -Uh?

It's mental telepathy. -Not at all, where did you get that mental telepathy.

It's all a question of faith.

I suppose you could say a girl and a million bucks are two different things.

Hey, wanna go for a round?

No.

So I won by default.

That's right. You won by default.

You're afraid for your mug?

That's right. I'm afraid.

Is that interesting what you're reading?

No.

But you like to read, huh?

It depends of the day.

Today for example I like it.

Can you pull your own weight?

It's my hairs I will pull if it goes on any longer.

What goes on much longer?

Have you seen the time? -Why it's seven thirty.

And you think it's perfectly normal that it's seven thirty?

How could it be different? -What could be a bit different is that you be a little less stupid.

I'll bet you couldn't make it. -You really think that's all what counts in life, huh?

This is what counts.

Life always has a catch to it.

And if that's all you've got in your head

you'll never be able to find it.

That fly in the ointment. You'll always be a light-weight.

You understand? A nobody.

You've got your talent yourself, huh?

I've got it here.

I'm thinking every minute. -Yeah and what do you think about?

What, the situation. -What situation?

Two and a half hours late.

That's a serious...

situation.

And if we weren't waiting for Jeff then it would be desperate.

But as we are waiting for Jeff

we're lucky.

Of course.

Jeff will be here.

Jeff will be here dead or alive. -Only you just said it was not normal.

Now wait.

I might have said it was not normal for Jeff to be one hour or two late but I never once said he wouldn't be here.

He even said dead or alive.

Did you ever hear about any corpse coming with a million?

You're too dumb, Pepin.

Dumb and skeptical.

You got all defaults Pepin.

What's your opinion Laurent?

I have no interest in Pepin's shortcomings.

What are you interested in?

At the moment nothing. I'm waiting.

Waiting for what?

For Jeff.

Same as everyone.

Not quite the same as everyone.

Lescure says two hours late is not normal.

Merkes thinks there might be a catch.

Pepin doesn't believe the dead come back.

So it's only you and me who are not nervous.

I have the time.

So am I.

So in a word you and I have all the time in the world.

That's right. You nailed it perfectly.

Tell me Laurent.

What are you gonna do with your share of the money?

And you Lescure?

Me?

I'll build a real modern gymnasium.

Sauna, kinesi therapist, massages, the works.

And rich society ladies will come to me to lose weight.

They will be my only clientele.

You're right. It's the way of the future.

To resume the more Jeff is late the more your ladies take weight.

And you make money by the second.

Oh come on stop looking like that Lescure. I'm joking.

I like that.

I say something's fishy.

I mean it. Something's not normal.

I'm sure something's fishy.

What's fishy?

It's only been four hours. -Four hours?

Four hours and twenty five minutes.

Come on now. You don't mean you suspect Jeff, do you?

No, I don't suspect anybody.

I thought you did.

You sure you don't suspect anything Merkes?

No, of course not but... -But what?

I thought you suspected something.

None of us would dare suspect Jeff.

Suspect him of what?

Well...

Say maybe having missed the bus or gone to the wrong adress.

Would you believe that? -No. You're the one who believes it.

Excuse me for having dare cast a suspicion on the almighty.

I mean...

I mean Jeff.

The almighty is a pain in your neck Diamant and it's not new.

Right now he's a pain in everyone's neck except you. Is that what you mean?

You think Jeff ran out with the money?

If he did he was quite right.

What do you mean?

That's what I would have done.

What kind of bastard are you?

I just try to imitate Jeff.

You really are rotten Diamant.

You're rotten to the core.

We all won the first match as a team.

Jeff won the second.

Is anyone with me for the play-off?

I am.

You're with me? -Yes.

Me too.

And you Lescure?

I guess yes.

You're all alone Laurent. You sure you don't want to change your mind?

Quite sure.

Then you're against us.

I'm not with you.

Too bad.

I've been thinking this over four hours and thirty-seven minutes.

And I decided maybe we are going to pay a visit to Eva.

If you touch Eva Jeff will never forgive you.

Now let's suppose as Merkes would say.

Suppose that Jeff's little girlfriend tell us that the almighty had an accident.

And that he's in a hospital. -We'll bring him a basket of oranges.

No harm in this, huh?

If you touch Eva you sign your death warrant Diamant.

If you don't play on our side you have to stay here.

Like a good boy.

Until we get back.

Pepin? -Yeah?

You're the baby-sitter.

Just by chance I brought my toy.

You're alright Jeff?

Sorry if I hurt you.

You're alright Jeff? Oh, you put on a little weight, huh?

My pen? Where's my pen? I lost my...

Here it is.

That's life Laurent, huh?

You lose your pen and then you find it again.

You heard what Diamant said. That you're a bastard.

I wouldn't have believed it. Never.

You should never have pulled that one on us Jeff.

Any idea what's happening to your girlfriend Jeff?

You can't imagine.

You want me to tell you? You don't want?

I will still tell you.

So no news from Jeff?

It's not normal.

It's not normal.

Higher and higher.

It's started.

Don't worry Eva. -I'm hurt.

Take it easy. -I'm hurt.

What's happening? Where's Jeff?

I don't know. -What?

He disappeared Eva. He's probably in danger.

What do you know Eva?

Jeff warned me...

if something goes wrong you must call Laurent

Only Laurent.

And then?

Go see Zucci

then

Degroot in Anvers.

You talked to them Eva?

You repeated this to Diamant, didn't you?

I couldn't stand it anymore.

They hurted me. I was so afraid.

I should have...

I'm sure Jeff will understand.

Come on Eva. We must leave fast.

You must take some clothes.

Good workers, good girls!

Zucci's bees are good workers! And great queens.

And what's more sweet and sugared than Jesus blood?

Zucci's honey.

Nice home for my queens, huh? You will taste Zucci's honey, will you?

Oh, she escaped!

And they're never sick.

Energy, vigor and youth... and hop hop, optimism!

Tell me Zucci.

Did Jeff look quiet to you? -Perfectly, perfectly!

Energy, strenght and youth... and hop hop, optimism!

He didn't say anything? -Not a word, not a word.

He left as soon as you finished the work? -What?

Yeah, immediately. Handiwork.

Zucci did a beautiful handiwork.

Just to not lose the hand.

He did some fix-up. -Jeff was alone?

Of course, of course.

And why this and why that and why Jeff and where Jeff is?

Everybody's curious, isn't it?

Who is everybody?

You think you're the first one asking questions to Zucci this morning?

Who asked you first?

No-one, no-one.

It's nothing.

Jeff has come...

5 days ago.

"Zucci" he said,

"you know how to fix things, look at this..."

And he showed me.

Oh la la!

Oh la la!

Beautiful, Jeff!

Zucci doesn't read newspapers. He knows nothing.

He fix things. And then this morning

he sees three angry men coming to him.

Where is Jeff? Where is Jeff?

And now you ask the same. I understand everything.

You played together and Jeff...

Fortunately Zucci doesn't know anything.

He has no ears.

He just fix things.

Don't you agree my beauties?

These three men, they left as they came?

Of course, of course.

Come on, I have coffee and honey ready.

Eva!

Laurent.

The bees.

Shoot at the bees.

Go!

Go my daughters!

It's horrible!

You think they're already in Belgium?

Maybe. But they're only two now.

Papers please.

You can go.

A coffee and a grog please.

You don't want to sit down?

You hurt really bad?

It's just fever I think.

I'll be fine.

Thanks.

Three?

Yes.

A good grog and three pills.

It's an order.

I obey then.

I'm sorry Laurent.

What for?

I'm sorry...

to be here.

To be tired...

and a bit sick.

You're not mad at me

for clinging to you?

No.

I will tell Jeff that you protected me.

That we were the only ones, you and I,

to keep faith in him.

He likes you very much.

He never told you?

No...

but I know he does.

I'll tell him when we find him.

"Laurent behaved well, Jeff".

I know that he won't answer.

Why?

Because it won't be a surprise to him.

Me, I will tell him...

"Eva was very brave Jeff."

It's normal for me. I don't deserve any congratulations.

I'm his wife.

It's not always a good reason.

You know what I was doing before I met Jeff?

No.

And it's not my business.

I was nineteen and I was a prostitute.

I was a whore.

Shut up Eva. -No.

Why?

Go on then.

Jeff proved me that I was not a whore.

That I had never been a whore.

He told me "whatever your opinion it's not a matter to discuss".

I believed him.

I see.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Funny couple, huh?

You think so?

If we spend the night here I promise to be cured tomorrow without taking aspirin.

Maybe we'll leave immediately after we meet your friend Degroot.

In that case I will buy you some aspirin.

You know the Degroot's since a long time?

Three years.

Jeff is an old friend of Peter and Madeleine and I became friends too.

Mrs Degroot?

Yes. She's french.

It's four o'clock.

The gallery must be opened.

But..it's Eva?

Of course it's Eva!

I'm very pleased to see you. You too?

Of course.

I introduce you Laurent Valois. Madeleine.

Well, follow me. I suppose you didn't came to have paintings restored.

I'm sorry Madeleine. Is Peter here?

No. It's him you want to see?

It's not your friend Madeleine?

I need to see him as soon as possible.

I'm sorry but could Mr Valois and I

go directly to your home?

It's serious?

Yes.

Well, Peter is Brussels and I don't know how to reach him.

But he will not be long now.

In any case as soon as he returns and if you're still in Anvers...

Yes, I'm at the Nautilus Hotel. It's important.

Can you say to Peter that I count on him?.

But you can also count on me Eva.

Thank you Madeleine.

Diamant!

Yes?

You want a drink Eva? Some alcohol?

Yes. I let you choose.

Yes.

Ok.

Degroot is waiting for you at the bar.

Alright.

Yes Eva.

I saw Jeff.

And everything went as agreed.

It went alright?

Of course Sir. It went alright.

Jeff has disappeared, Peter.

Do you think he came back in France? -I didn't ask him anything.

He didn't tell you anything?

You know it's not in his temperament to answer to questions no-one asked him.

Two men, Diamant and Merkes, try to find him.

Maybe to kill him.

Madeleine told me that they passed at the workshop. -If they tried to meet you?

I will tell them exactly what I told you.

I beg you Peter. If you know something else...

tell me.

You know Jeff, don't you Eva?

And you know me.

Yes.

So...

Why Peter didn't wish to speak?

I don't know Eva.

Relax now.

Why Laurent?

Your hands are burning.

Lie down.

Do not think about anything.

And you?

You don't think about anything neither?

No.

Laurent?

Yes.

Jeff didn't betray.

He didn't leave with the money.

I'm certain he felt in a trap.

We must both have faith in him. Please.

Don't move.

Because if you believe that he left

then I will be alone.

No you won't be alone.

I hope so.

I hope so because I won't be able to stand it, you know.

Yes.

And if he did to me what the others believe he did to them?

If he also lied to me?

If he left me on my own?

I would be crazy then.

And you Laurent, what's your opinion?

Shut up.

Yes.

Maybe Jeff has a reason.

His reason.

Even if we don't find him...

Even if I don't understand...

I will still admire him.

You won't help me talking like that.

You will help me if you go on with me.

I will go on Eva.

With you.

Could you please stop playing with your glasses?

Why?

You're nervous? -No.

I just try to think.

So you saw Jeff...

you took the merchandise and you had him paid, right?

That's exactly what I said earlier.

By whom?

Sorry?

By whom did you had him paid?

Karl Ziegler.

You know him?

No but...

I understand that Jeff had an absolute confidence in this man.

Is that so?

So I put the agreed amount into this man's hands.

He immediately called Jeff here

to reassure him about my punctuality.

As soon as he received this insurance Jeff left from here.

I never saw him since then.

Why Jeff didn't collect the money from you?

If you want more details you should talk to Mr Karl Ziegler.

If Jeff left with your money it's not my business.

I paid.

The rest does not interest me.

Of course.

A glass of alcohol, Sirs?

If you please.

It's not normal.

There's a catch. -You sure?

Eva. I'll see you around tuesday. Havanha Blaukenberg. I'll have news. Come.

Madeleine.. -Don't touch me!

Tell her.

I'm sure your story will interest her.

Go on.

Peter is dead.

He killed him.

But he's only a beast.

It's Laurent, it's Jeff, it's you who killed him!

He's dead by your fault!

Come on, keep going.

You didn't understand, huh?

Jeff and Laurent were accomplices.

The money was given to Laurent by Peter, you stupid fool.

In Paris.

You've been used, they used you.

You were the proof that Laurent was innocent since you were both looking for him. You understand now?

In the same time

the were erasing the rest of the team.

They threw a trap at them.

Then they asked Peter

to send the survivors to Ziegler to be killed.

But Ziegler never existed.

And Peter also obeyed to Jeff.

He's dead because of this.

Dead because Jeff and Laurent are scums!

You know where Laurent is now? He went to rejoin Jeff.

They're going away with the money without you!

Without you because you're no use to them now!

My Peter died because of this money, this madness,

because of these scums!

Because of you!

I don't understand.

Madeleine.

It is very clear yet. Come on now.

Go around.

You got the money?

Here.

Very well.

So everything is in order?

Yes.

Well...

you will tell me later.

Take a coffee.

I'm changing clothes and we leave immediately.

No, Jeff.

We don't leave.

I came to kill you.

Jeff!

I was glad when he came by.

If he wanted the money

he already had it.

He didn't need to kill me.

Wait.

Unless...

That's it.

I'm dying because Laurent fell in love with you.

It's as dumb as this.

And it's the only thing I did not plan.

No, it's not true.

It didn't happen this way.

And you love him too.

Go find him.

I didn't plan that.

Jeff, you have no right.

You can imagine that if he had no remorse killing me...

it means he's tough enough to go till the end.

You didn't plan that...

That you will never find him again. -No.

You have no right.

I don't want you to hurt yourself.

You hurt me Eva...

You hurt me real bad...

I swear that you will never find him again.

Never.

Never.

Laurent.
