Many have asked me how I met Arsene Lupin, ..

.. Of which I have narrated many adventures. Here is the answer.

Maurice Leblanc.

At that time, I was a journalist ..

.. And I was in Brussels for a service.

I lived in a comfortable house out of reach.

I spent the evening with a very nice man ..

.. Met a few days before, Jean Daspry.

- Fantastic! I thought no longer exists! - What?

- Silence ... peace ... solitude! - It's not the Sahara Desert!

You can kill a man without discomfort.

Maybe you drank too much, Daspry!

I'm not a coward, but ....

- Do you want to scare me? - I? - Do not you see that dead tonight!

But washed down with champagne!

- Do you want to go? - No, thanks.

I've drunk too much, You told you!

- Goodnight. - Goodnight, Jean.

Hell, the valves are skipped!

From this moment do not make a gesture more ..

.. Or you're a dead man.

lnsomma, Mrs. Simonard, ..

.. You look like a murderess? - But with that gun ....

So, even according to you have not touched anything?

the night your fantasies have not taken even the dust!

And this card you left around you?

If you believe that time has to make the lonely ....

Good heavens!

The night of the seven of hearts.

By dint of observing facts ..

A reporter forgets .. which can also be its victim.

Is there anything that happened to me Tonight ... The smallest detail!

And with my signature!

Mr. Leblanc!

- There is a person. - Who is it?

I do not know, asked only to see you.

He would not say anything else, but insists!

This morning, the train, As they were leaving ..

.. I read your article. - My article ... - Congratulations!

- I am moved. - I had to take the train ..

.. And I've taken. - Oh. - To talk.

the facts narrated by you ..

.. They are all accurate?

- In every detail. - No inventions? - No!

Then, perhaps, there are different things that I can clarify.

- Next, do not ask for better! - No.

How would not it?

I know, by chance, an adventure ..

Similar to yours .. so disconcerting.

But before you speak I have to check certain details.

Check how?

- Staying in this room only. - Alone?

Maybe I'm wrong, ..

.. But to know for sure I stay here alone.

All right.

How long do you need?

Three minutes will suffice. If what I think is true, ..

Material you .. ultrasensaZionale for an article.

- Hello! - Hello, good morning.

As you can see, I take.

Your housekeeper I even sweeten the coffee:

Three lumps ..! - The're cute.

I shall give only two.

But, you say a little ', ..

.. You're an early bird! - After last night I assure you, ..

You have made me charged .. that he drank too much ..

.. But this morning is a rose! And you? Slept well?

Oh, nice article!

Formidable!

If one day write my memories, I would ask for help.

I did not write that stuff.

But how?

There's your sign!

It is a fake.

Well, you should not complain.

A masterpiece of fantasy!

The signature is false ..

.. But the facts are true.

Success tonight?

Tonight.

Kidding?!

It is not over ...

Before you came a man to talk article.

E. .. what you said?

For now, nothing.

It can no longer tell his secret.

I immediately call a doctor.

Lady Simonard! A doctor, quickly!

- Perhaps embolism. - Who was he? - He did not say the name.

Maybe it was him your night visitor ...

He had this side.

Again!

If it was him because he came back?

Least knew what he wanted!

I have a confession to make, ..

I never said .. Who lived here before you.

- Who? - I was often on the verge to tell you, but I did not.

He was a friend of mine: Louis Lacombe.

And disappeared.

Maybe it's dead.

- Louis Lacombe ... the aviator? - Yes

lnventore than one type of aircraft able to cross the Atlantic.

- I remember. The plane was called .... - The Seven of Hearts!

Yes, this is the authentic one, no doubt.

Good morning, Mr. Salvator. What are you doing?

I'm watching, doctor, and I admire!

- It is the pearl of my collection. - Yes, of course. It's a Raphael.

- Are you an expert? - No, just an amateur!

If I'm not mistaken, Lord Sheffield it has a good copy in London.

- You are well informed. - A private detective should be, ..

.. To avoid blunders police. - The Varin brothers?

I found one:

.. Etienne Varin. - Bravo. Just follow him ..

.. And will lead to another. - I'm afraid not. - But they are inseparable!

Unfortunately, doctor ..

.. Also inseparable sometimes separate.

Explain.

Etienne Varin ..

Died this morning .. at 9:45, a blood clot ..

.. Home of Maurice Leblanc journalist.

So the report says police officers.

This Leblanc lives in the house already occupied by Louis Lacombe ..

.. Up to two months ago, before his death.

Louis Lacombe ...

For my wife and me, Lacombe was a close friend ..

He was a boy full of life and charm ..

.. But a first-class engineer.

My financial group had given him the means ..

To complete his project .. the Seven of Hearts.

Varin was the his closest collaborators ..

.. And trust them blindly.

On the eve of his death I announced the end of the work ..

.. Bursting with joy!

ln this occasion, gave me an essential document.

Then he disappeared ..

And disappeared with him .. plans of the aircraft.

Even Varin they became unavailable.

I knew then that they had offered those plans to a foreign company.

International agreements not exclude the competition ..

.. Or supplies from friendly people, ..

.. But those plans are worthless without the document that I have.

Why have not you called the police ..

.. If you are convinced Varin of responsibility?

Do not I have done to come overseas for the pleasure of your company.

- Do not pay for asking questions, but to act. - Well.

I want the plans of the Seven of Hearts, ..

.. Come back when have found Arthur Varin.

Yes, of course. I will bring Arthur Varin dead or alive, Doctor!

Make sure he's alive.

- I did not know you knew Andermatt. - You do not need to know the people ..

.. To get invited! - Pardon.

I was told Madame Andermatt ..

.. Was one of the most beautiful women Brussels.

Curiosity is a reason more than valid.

Pardon!

- Please! - Sorry.

Let?

Thank you.

Mr ...?

Jean Daspry, ..

.. Last-minute invitee.

From my husband?

No.

From you, Madame.

That beautiful ladies ... Who is it?

A friend of Paula, I guess.

I do not understand.

It was an old friend.

Common?

Yes, I think.

It is here too?

No, it's gone.

Two months ago.

You have to be right, is certainly a friend of Paula.

No thanks.

Now, for revenge, took it away.

- Are you angry? - And why?

I put between you like a cat jealous!

When the cat is so cute ....

- Do not know them, but you smile all! - It happens to bad people, ..

.. Some 'rogue, a bit' Big of Spain. - Is not an explanation!

Yes, it is indeed!

- Think about Lupin. - Arsene Lupin?!

All the seamstresses of France It's in their hearts ..

.. And in the heart of all women hides a seamstress.

I do not think I ever saw.

He is a friend of Lacombe.

I have not yet submitted! Mr. Maurice Leblanc, journalist.

- Miss ...? - Monica! - Monica. - Belmont.

Hello.

- Your crown, Miss. - Thanks.

- I told you to win! - I'm doing it, boss!

- And the result? - Two slaps, to begin with. - Bravo, good start.

It is the personal maid Andermatt Mrs. ..

I have to convince that are important too.

But I have found you well on ...

- What does it say? - Suit for now!

When I ask the lady, Dead silence!

- Very eloquent! - Find?

When the easement is silent, much to say.

I like it, girl!

A maid discreet worthwhile to follow it, ..

There is the case .. to discover a secret.

- Hello! - Good morning.

Can I help you?

Maybe ...

What would you like?

One thing.

What kind?

Of your kind.

The man has good taste.

- How much? - 800 francs.

It is expensive.

Sorry, I had the impression The price does not count for you.

Not for this I want to be robbed.

This is not even a third!

I do not you dare!

- Please, there's the door! - Close it, I hate the currents.

Who are you?

If I tell you, I do not believe it.

- This is private! - It is the cave of Ali Baba, ..

.. But if one says''Sesame''.... - Do not move! - Ah!

Bravo!

Do not be an idiot, man!

Next sitting. There!

Sit up!

Give me the jewels brought by the girl.

- What girl? I do not understand! - Liar!

I could ask you the key, but they become your accomplice.

How gliel'hai paid?

Whatever.

And you sell it?

And this is a Breguet-Renault 300 hp ..

The joy of flight, the vertigo ...

On this coffin wheel, Lacombe has made ..

.. Hundreds of combat missions, ..

.. With his eternal smile schoolgirl.

A brave, Indeed, a daredevil:

Had already had twenty years .. 13 citations and the Legion of Honor.

There was dear?

How can we not love him?

He offered his friendship life as it is offered.

His friendship ...

- Not offered it to you? (My husband admired her, ..)

(.. Were inseparable, ..)

(Arrived at our house .. at any time of day.)

He knew everything: comedy of success, chic bars, ..

Chaplin's last film .., ..

Launched the songs .. by Josephine Baker ...

He loved you.

I told him?

No.

He was very discreet ..

.. And I have seen little in recent years ..

.. But it's easy to guess.

- And you? (I thought I love him, ..)

(.. I was wrong.)

That's all over, nothing remains.

Yes ..

Do not judge me wrong.

lndossavate This necklace the other night ..

I was sorry to find it .. in a junk shop.

It's mine and I do what I want!

Your husband gave you the because vendeste.

You had sent letters Lacombe, right?

(So ??I thought I love him.)

I did not think would fall in the hands of others.

You know who?

They ask me for money and I follow the instructions.

But do not suspect anyone?

- Everybody! - Sure, but someone in particular?

Louis had two closest collaborators:

.. Varin brothers. - Ah ...

So the necklace was for ....

Do I have the money tonight ..

I do not know .. then I'll do.

Can I sell this will be another delay.

Your husband knows about the existence of these letters?

I'm afraid so, ..

A few weeks .. we live as strangers.

So ..

.. You have nothing to lose, because accepting the blackmail?

(Llludendomi in love with Louis, ..)

(.. I found out I love my husband.)

Yes, maybe it's ridiculous.

- I did not say that. - Yes, ..

Infatuation later .. they always are.

Your husband will forgive you a moment of bewilderment, ..

.. If he loves you.

Once demolished his favorite horse ..

.. Because he had refused an obstacle to a horse show.

It is one that gives all of himself and demands the same, ..

.. I have very long to figure it out ..

.. And to become a woman you can still love.

- Without those letters ... - I would give all because they do not ever read!

Where the money should be taken?

The green paradise Your innocent love ..

.. Is now farther away dell'lndia and the East.

- What did you say, master? - No, an old poem. - Ah ...

Look there!

Follow him, ..

I do not think .. has left the address!

- Who is boss? - Arthur Varin.

I found Arthur Varin, doctor ..

.. Alive and well. - Better for you ..

.. I was going to tell you to raise your heels! - I will very soon, doctor ..

.. With pleasure, but not before he had found the plans!

I would like to share your optimism.

Share at least my hope!

You are full of enthusiasm, this morning!

This is the prediction of success, doctor!

If you find the hiding of plans ....

I will succeed, I am sure!

It may be that you are well ..

.. Something that interests me.

You have done very well to tell me. What is it, doctor?

This is ..

.. Of certain letters falls into the wrong hands.

Ah ... and what kind of letters?

Of letters, this will suffice.

All right, recover them as well.

We really like that picture.

Huh? Oh yes, very much!

Sheffield Lord has given me lucky for him, ..

.. But the money ....

A dead cat on the eaves? I did not say anything!

In order not to disturb you, Ms. door!

You have so many things to do, you can not see everything!

I repeat, tenants we were told ..

.. And a cat is going to die right on the gutter!

I go there often, with my legs ...

And you have your legs, huh?

You may also lend Josephine Baker, ..

.. No one would see the difference! - It's crazy!

- Fool me? I speak the truth! - Well, hurry up!

With this cart before we do not look good!

Do not be upset, hurry up!

- The 70 double-hake. - What?

- Use the key number 70! - Ah!

Hurry!

There are!

Many thanks.

Ah, Varin is a brother!

A treatise on the locks!

It serves no purpose, Grognard.

The locks are such as Braille:

.. You just learn with your fingers.

- Nothing! - Yes, anything!

Well, if the letters are not here, is a sign that they are elsewhere.

So this cat?

But what's the matter?

That's it, we celebrate the return the prodigal son with champagne.

Thanks!

- At your work, Maurice Leblanc! - To your success, Daspry, ..

.. That there is certainly not! When a friend ignores you, ..

.. There is always a middle!

Yes, I have overlooked, but I'm redoing!

There's no doubt!

I have not seen for days and now do not let it turn over the house!

Impeller rooms, in the cellar, the barn ...

Knock on the walls, rummage through the tubes, ..

.. Inspected the floors, look at the ceiling ...

There remains the garden!

How do you say? The garden?

But yes, of course. Now is my only refuge!

Daspry!

Look, Daspry, ..

Demolished the house as well .. stone by stone, ..

.. But at least tell me What do you hope to find!

- I bet you have not looked tiles! - One by one.

And the balconies?

Help me instead to ask many questions!

I do not think either.

I swear I'll make you fill all these holes!

Save your breath, Leblanc, we are not done.

lnsomma, tell me what you seek!

- This! - The seven of hearts! - Yes

Louis Lacombe ...

- We feel the police immediately! - It will not resurrect it.

As soon as I learned of his death I thought of a murder ..

.. I do not know why.

And I swore to avenge him.

Mr. Varin!

- Yes, what is? - Here, I try to be nice ..

.. And you always turned over like a dog! Bear, ..

.. Have brought for you!

Like a dog ... feel it!

Tomorrow night at 21: 00 rue Balzac with the letters.

You will in return the document.

So do not go out tonight?

No.

- Sorry if you do not accompany. - Did not I even ask, ..

.. Where I'd rather be alone.

- Other nights like tonight ... - Do not over now ..

.. The other day we went work together.

lnsieme ..

.. But like strangers!

- As two who have not nothing more to say. - Michel!

Yes?

Why?

As if you did not know!

I love you, Michel.

Two months ago those who were saying these words?

And to those who wrote them?

- Annie! - Yes, ma'am?

- Had you seen this telegram? - Yes, ma'am. - Soon, I quit.

What is the address?

Good evening, Leblanc!

As you enter you in a shop, you have the mania of the doors open!

Tonight is not a fad, but a necessity.

- Really? - Arrive on time.

- Have you eaten? - Yes, two partridges.

- Champagne? - Gladly. You do not need anyone?

- No. - Mrs. Simonard? - I got a ticket ..

.. I do not know for which movie. - Very well!

- After this sad dinner we're going to the movies. - No!

Do not even know I want to offer you.

Greta Garbo divine!

Well ... Divine wait!

You see, tonight ..

.. I got a mysterious message.

Ha, ha ...

Yes, a strange phone call ..

.. Just when I had lost hope to learn more.

Those who spoke to me the other end of the line ..

Had an accent .. very pronounced, ..

.. I can not explain.

It went like this:

- Hello? - Mr. Leblanc? - Yes, I speak with who?

I am the person who came to see you on the night of June 22, ..

.. You remember? You hear me? - Yes, perfectly! - Well, ..

.. Abusai also your signature, please excuse me.

We have made good use the article was excellent.

I never forgave otherwise. You are so kind ..

.. I ask you another favor. - If I can .... - Yes, yes.

I would be grateful to lend your home for tonight.

- I know what's the point? - We are at the end of the play, ..

.. I want the final confrontation happen to you.

Please complete discretion about it. Goodbye.

Behold, now I know as I do.

Ma.

.. You think it will? - I hope so!

Do not dry up that there is too?

Your contact asked hath discretion ..

.. Not alone. Ah!

They want to finish it quickly, huh? They come in, well in advance.

Paula!

Big shock, huh? You did not expect to see you here.

Daspry, you do?

The I run, you hide.

Paula!

- Paula! - Is going to be my husband ..

.. The need to deliver the letters. - Go away! - You had to save me!

Please, go on, Paula!

- It will be the end for you! - So much the better. - Hide!

Mrs. hoped to make his surprise appearance.

So was you contact me!

So was your husband!

You had to tell me the ticket, that was also your wife ..

.. I put on her best dress! - What ticket?

I'm here because I have written you!

What are you doing, Varin?

If I have called you, I go, ..

.. There's something behind that I do not like. - Good evening. - Wait!

We have many things to say.

About the letters of the lady?

- You wrote in Lacombe, Paula? - You know very well.

- How much you want, Varin? - The auction will put ...

- Make the first offer you! - I have no money.

- Then I will discuss with her husband. - How much?

Congratulations, lady, your husband loves you.

You do not want'll manage it!

- The letters! - No!

- I want them. - And maybe along with the plans.

- Good evening! - No!

Do not move!

You're in luck, friend, in a cheeky way:

I aimed the hand .. and got the gun.

Been playing badly the game, Doctor.

Did you think you win without me?

Allow me to continue?

To us, big man! It is' watch out: the trump is hearts!

And now, I play the seven!

Who are you?

- A curious, a passer-by! - He has letters in his pocket.

Only those?

Come on, man! You have a treasure far greater!

Have you seen?

You live in a hovel ..

.. And you have plans for a plane that are worth a fortune.

Too bad that they have brought with them!

- Of course, when a feel safe .... - And the letters?

It's true! Sorry, Mr. Andermatt I had forgotten.

- Answer, Varin! - I do not know!

Well, not refuse to a colleague to refresh your memory.

Allow me, madam?

Perhaps there is hidden a safe, huh?

Which is the key!

Bravo, Mr. Salvator!

E. .. voila!

Empty!

Yeah, so it seems ...

You do not have those letters. Mr. Andermatt, not here.

Instead there are.

- Where is the new hiding place? - There is no mica! - There!

You want the money, eh? How much?

- 20,000. - Mm! To live without thought.

Mr. Andermatt those letters for you ..

.. Worth 20,000 francs?

They are worth.

And now, guadagnateli, Varin!

Do not rush, Mr. Andermatt!

Have you paid Varin, you have to pay me too!

No, I do not do it with banks. I do not want money!

So what do you want?

I already have plans, ..

.. Now I need a document that you have.

- For those who are working, you? - For me only ..

.. And are a main so hard to please!

- I do not have that document with me. - I know, because I have it.

I knew you would not have brought ..

.. I took the liberty I take it to save time.

Was enough a visit to your home.

- A steal! - No, the taking!

Now the plans or give you back ..

.. Or I give you the letters.

The choice is yours!

Michel!

Jean Daspry always keeps his word.

Here are your letters.

But the others?

Each entry can imitate ..

.. And yours is so simple!

As for content, ..

.. You can not blame a woman that he refused to others.

- And my presence here? - You say you've made me come, ..

Your husband .. will be happy to believe it!

We do not always kill the horses.

If you see Mr. Daspry, thank him heartily.

It will be very happy.

It's about time! Where is my money?

What is it, Varin?

- Dare to protest? What chutzpah! - I want to be paid!

What should I pay you? Plans stolen?

I keep them for me! I need it!

- Come on! - What else do you want from me?

Want to know what I want?

The iron plate was there ..

Where you and your brother .. you have buried with a corpse!

Scoundrels!

- Wait! - Get up! - Wait ...

- One more word, I want to know .... - What?

- In room safe large There was a cassette. - Certainly.

- Were you here the night of June 22? - Sure.

Have you got the tape!

Gosh! Put yourself in my place ...

It contained everything that Varin had accumulated:

.. Pearls, diamonds ... Stuff that never loses value!

This is why my brother died?

Probably! Emotion fade to see your booty!

Why did you leave the letters?

Why is unaware of its existence, at that time.

Only later I found the second cache.

Louis Lacombe had a friend ..

.. To which he had sent a playing card.

- The name of this friend? - Ha, ha, ha! Ask me ..

.. Like I want revenge! - Often the luck turns, ..

.. You never know. Who is this friend?

Arsene Lupin.

- Arsene Lupin? - You find yourself?

Do you think Mr. Dupont that any ..

Could .. untangle this?

And now that you know everything ..

.. Is' to prepare your revenge.

Arsene Lupin is waiting for you!

Did you let him go?

Why not?

The road belongs to everyone!

Daspry!

No, Ars�ne Lupin!

That's it I met Arsene Lupin, ..

.. So I found out under the guise of Jean Daspry, ..

A gentleman .. bright and a little 'distracted.

ln the middle of the square leaves that, eh?

And unruly to the point ..

.. Of never being able to bind with the police in Brussels.

Here! lmparer� a good time!

Now you know how I became a friend this man's incomparable ..

.. And how, thanks to the trust of which he wanted to honor me, ..

Became his .. humble and grateful biographer.

Arsene Lupin gives a plane to France.

Today we have redone the defeat of Waterloo, ..

.. Worth at least � 20,000!

- MH! - Yes, yes! Lord Sheffield will happy to give us her notes ..

.. In exchange for this little thing! - Poor Mr. Andermatt!

Next, Grognard, we go to London!
