I'm a journalist. 00:07:43:Not interested! 00:07:48:Wait! Not any journalist. 00:07:50:It's about Vidocq. 00:07:51:I'm his official biographer. 00:07:54:What's so funny? 00:07:55:He wrote his own memoirs. He didn't need any help. 00:07:58:If you write about Vidocq, I'm the first to know. 00:08:01:I'm Nimier, his partner. 00:08:03:You want trouble? 00:08:06:Let me go. I've something to show you. 00:08:09:Look at this. 00:08:11:Vidocq wrote to me. 00:08:14:I swear it's true. 00:08:16:He was going to read my book. 00:08:21:Look! 00:08:22:Didn't you hear? Vidocq's dead. 00:08:25:That's just it. 00:08:27:What do you mean? 00:09:22:What do you want? 00:09:23:To finish my book. 00:09:28:And find his killer. 00:09:31:Vidocq's killer... 00:09:33:Poor fool. 00:09:34:I've got to find him. 00:09:36:My book will avenge his death. 00:09:40:Get out, half wit. 00:09:42:Get out while you can! 00:09:44:Tell me what you know. 00:09:46:You were both on the case. 00:09:50:You're dropping it? 00:09:51:His killer's a dead man. 00:09:55:That's where I can help. 00:09:57:Tell me. It'll clarify it for you too. 00:10:03:When did it start? 00:10:08:A week ago. He was trailing two high rollers... 00:10:11:The Lightning Conspiracy 00:10:13:Belmont and Veraldi. 00:11:09:It was a hype. Two guys get bumped off by lightning and... 00:11:13:One man struck by lightning is an accident... 00:11:16:two men struck by lightning is a plot. 00:11:22:Especially when it's Belmont and Veraldi. 00:11:24:Who are they? 00:11:25:Belmont was an arms dealer. Veraldi was a chemist. 00:11:31:They could turn any substance into gunpowder. 00:11:34:So? 00:11:35:So... 00:11:38:It's a blow to our army. 00:11:41:This is no time for our army to be weakened, not now. 00:11:45:What are you afraid of? The Prussians? 00:11:48:They put you in power. 00:11:50:I'm afraid of the enemy within. 00:11:53:Charles X's reforms aren't very popular. 00:11:56:Not very. 00:11:57:Paris is crawling with traitors: 00:12:00:Orl�anists, Bonapartists, Republicans. 00:12:03:You can't trust anyone. 00:12:04:I'm not a politician. 00:12:15:My men are overworked. 00:12:18:That bolt of lightning was the last straw. You have to take the case. 00:12:26:You dismissed me 2 years ago, remember? 00:12:29:I'm sorry. I've too much work now. 00:12:33:Don't you understand? The monarchy's in danger! 00:12:36:They may strike again. 00:12:38:With the next storm! 00:12:42:Pay up and I'll consider it. 00:12:47:You have no scruples. 00:13:05:You're wasting your talent. 00:13:08:Who's to blame for that? 00:13:13:Remember, 00:13:15:you have until the next storm. 00:13:36:In Napoleon's time, we melted down church bells to make cannons. 00:13:40:We couldn't get enough of them. 00:13:42:So we set up foundries in churches, like this one. 00:13:47:It's a good spot. You're closer to God. 00:13:51:- Yes sir, but not for long. - Why? 00:13:53:That's just it. 00:13:55:Only Belmont knew the secret of fusion. 00:13:58:What do you think about his death? 00:14:01:It's strange how life can be ironic. 00:14:04:Belmont made his fortune with fire, and he died by fire! 00:14:08:He had all those bodyguards. 00:14:10:He was afraid of something. 00:14:12:True. 00:14:13:For some time, something had him scared. 00:14:17:Weren't his activities shady? 00:14:20:Belmont was as honest as they come. 00:14:26:He had some faults. 00:14:28:But we should drink to his health. 00:14:32:What faults? 00:14:33:I'll tell you. 00:14:35:Belmont... 00:14:37:had only one interest in life, 00:14:40:himself. 00:14:41:What do you mean? 00:14:43:He was like an artist, 00:14:45:working on his own self-portrait. 00:14:47:Was he married? 00:14:48:Yes... 00:14:50:to his own ego! 00:14:58:- What's going on? - Just routine. 00:15:01:Another lout catching fire. 00:15:03:We make gunpowder here. 00:15:06:Our clothes are full of it. 00:15:08:Hold on... When the lightning struck Belmont, 00:15:11:he went up like a torch. 00:15:14:Maybe his coat was covered in powder. 00:15:17:You're joking. 00:15:18:His coats were brushed clean 00:15:21:every night by the washerwomen. 00:15:23:They would never be so careless. 00:15:32:Better keep me on the list of suspects. 00:15:39:A canon exploded in my crotch at Austerlitz. 00:15:41:A minor technical flaw. 00:15:44:Thank you Mr. Belmont. 00:16:26:That wench isn't bad. 00:16:29:Get moving. Remember we only have until the next storm. 00:16:35:No time to lose. 00:16:37:Who cleans Mr. Belmont's frock coats? 00:16:39:That would be the little African, Gandin. 00:16:42:Where is he? 00:16:44:He'll be ironing now. Just holler... 00:16:48:Gandin! 00:17:13:Are you Gandin? 00:17:14:I didn't do anything, sir! 00:17:18:Yes or no? 00:17:20:Did you brush Belmont's coat? 00:17:22:I'm innocent, sir. 00:17:24:Yes or no? 00:17:26:I'm as good as gold. 00:17:28:Did you or did you not? 00:17:33:I'll iron your mug! 00:17:35:What are you doing? Let him go, damn it! 00:17:40:Sorry, the wine must've gone to my head. 00:17:45:Did you brush it? 00:17:46:- No. - Why? 00:17:47:- I was told not to. - By who? 00:17:50:Who? 00:17:52:- Let's hang him on the drying rack! - No! I got a letter. 00:17:55:You can read? 00:17:57:It said not to brush Belmont or Veraldi's clothes. 00:18:00:Who sent it? 00:18:01:I don't know. It had money... 00:18:03:- It's your fault they fried. - I didn't know. 00:18:06:- Fool. - No, I swear... 00:18:08:I had no choice. 00:18:10:Why was that? 00:18:11:The letter was like an order, 00:18:13:an order from the devil himself. 00:18:16:Nonsense. 00:18:17:No, I swear! 00:18:19:I think it was written in blood. 00:18:24:I believe it's possible to direct lightning at a target. 00:18:32:To attract lightning, all you need is a conductor. 00:18:35:And to direct it, 00:18:37:the conductor has to be mounted on a swivel. 00:18:40:There's one more thing, and this is paramount: 00:18:43:there must be a piece of metal on top of the target, 00:18:47:there. 00:18:50:Cover your eyes. 00:19:11:It looks easy. 00:19:12:The metal is the key. 00:19:15:The fire of the cosmos can pierce anything in a second, 00:19:19:but without flames. 00:19:22:A man struck by lightning 00:19:24:can't be burned. 00:19:28:He may even survive. It has happened. 00:19:34:Lightning was only the spark. 00:19:41:It reminds me of jail, when we tried to escape through the chimney. 00:19:45:- Forget that. - I wish I could. 00:19:50:What's on your mind? 00:19:52:They walked into a trap, 00:19:54:both primed to explode. 00:19:57:So? 00:19:58:So? If both our gentlemen were bombs, 00:20:01:there had to be fuses. 00:20:13:What was in the hat? 00:20:15:Well... 00:20:17:what was in there? 00:20:22:- A comb. - A what? 00:20:24:A gold comb. 00:20:25:A lady's comb. 00:20:27:- It drew the lightning. - Describe it. 00:20:30:It was Chinese. 00:20:34:- A devil with a monkey's head. - A devil? 00:20:38:What did you do then? 00:20:40:I didn't do anything. 00:20:42:Vidocq wanted me off the case. 00:20:44:- Why? - I don't know. 00:20:46:Maybe because of the iron. I was getting soft. 00:20:50:What did he do after that? 00:20:54:- Give me a lead. - If I'd stuck with him, 00:20:56:I could have stopped it. Damn it! 00:20:58:I should have... 00:21:05:I'll be back. 00:21:36:Nothing definite, sir. 00:21:38:They saw Vidocq last night. They don't know why he was here. 00:21:42:What about the pit... Why was he in this room? 00:21:45:No one knows. 00:21:50:Continue investigating. They're hiding something. 00:21:55:Who tipped off the press? 00:21:58:I'd like to know! 00:22:00:By God, how do you think this makes us look? 00:22:09:I still haven't seen the body. 00:22:12:The body? 00:22:14:Yes, Vidocq's body. 00:22:17:You think I've never seen a corpse before? 00:27:05:- Can we talk? - Not now. 00:27:07:I see... 00:27:09:Perhaps you have time to talk about Vidocq? 00:27:12:No time for Louis Belmont or Simon Veraldi? 00:27:16:No one else in Paris wears combs like this. I've checked. 00:27:20:I don't know what you mean. 00:27:23:You killed Belmont and Veraldi. I have proof. 00:27:26:You're the lightning murderer. 00:27:28:Fine, I'm a murderer. 00:27:30:And who are you? 00:27:32:I'm Etienne Boisset. I'm a journalist. 00:27:36:I'm investigating Vidocq's death. 00:27:56:You're not Asian. 00:27:57:What a sharp journalist. 00:27:59:You're quick. 00:28:03:- I want the combs. - What? 00:28:05:Give me the combs, I'll tell you what I know. Deal? 00:28:09:This is hard evidence of the murders. 00:28:14:Do I look like a monster to you? 00:28:20:I'm listening. 00:28:26:You know me, Fran�ois. 00:28:28:You can't suspect me... 00:28:31:You didn't plant the combs in their hats? 00:28:35:Pr�ah! 00:28:37:What did you get yourself involved in. 00:28:40:I can only cover up so much. 00:28:42:I'm keeping my partner out of this, but... 00:28:48:2 weeks ago, I got a letter with money. 00:28:51:I only had to slip the combs into Belmont and Veraldi's hats. 00:28:55:That was my part of the deal. 00:28:57:I never knew who paid me. 00:29:00:Did you wonder about it? 00:29:03:I thought someone wanted a scandal. 00:29:05:Why wouldn't I do it? They were just clients. 00:29:09:The letters weren't threatening? 00:29:12:Threatening? 00:29:14:Were they written in blood? 00:29:15:Of course not. 00:29:18:Actually, they were perfumed, 00:29:20:elegantly scripted... 00:29:21:I thought they were from a woman. 00:29:24:- Did you keep them? - What are you thinking? 00:29:27:Pr�ah... who's next on the list? 00:29:30:What makes you think there was a third comb? 00:29:34:The Heavens. 00:29:38:Who's next on the list? 00:29:41:Ernest Laffite, 00:29:43:the director of the Invalides. 00:29:47:Wait, I'm coming! 00:33:53:Hey you! 00:33:55:- What are you doing? - Get lost! 00:33:57:I'm with the police. 00:34:06:It's in order. 00:34:08:- What were you doing on the roof? - Nothing. 00:34:11:I saw a shadow. 00:34:13:I'll take her home. She's not well. 00:34:17:Here. 00:34:19:- Where are the others? - In my personal archives. 00:34:25:It's not a political plot. 00:34:28:Belmont and Veraldi might have been political, not Laffite. 00:34:32:It was a coincidence they worked in the arms trade. 00:34:35:They died for another reason. It was a revenge killing. 00:34:39:An old vendetta. 00:34:42:The method of using lightning... 00:34:44:as if it were some kind of divine retribution. 00:34:48:You saw the killer, didn't you? 00:34:51:You saw the pigeons, and the way he used his cape. 00:34:54:Just a magician's trick. 00:34:56:You must be joking. 00:34:58:And the mask? 00:34:59:That fits with a revenge killing too. 00:35:01:- I don't think so. - A mirror... 00:35:03:as if those men had to face themselves. 00:35:06:That's absurd. 00:35:07:I knew them well. They were a bit odd, 00:35:10:but harmless. 00:35:11:Odd? 00:35:12:What do you mean by odd? 00:36:14:Was that all you did? 00:36:16:They never touched me. 00:36:18:Do you mean they... 00:36:20:preferred love with men? 00:36:23:They loved their own bodies 00:36:25:and faces, they loved themselves. 00:36:28:Is that why they died? 00:36:30:I don't know. 00:36:32:Vidocq thought so. 00:36:33:They had other fetishes, and someone didn't approve. 00:36:38:Maybe. Eccentrics with make-up, a lightning killer, 00:36:42:a mirror mask, it's all bizarre. 00:36:44:Where did he go then? 00:36:46:Vidocq, I mean. 00:36:49:I don't know. 00:36:50:I'm sure of one thing: he died because of me. 00:36:53:No, it was the investigation. 00:36:57:He was working alone to protect me. That's why he died. 00:37:03:Did you know him long? 00:37:05:Well, Mr. Policeman... 00:37:08:let's see how clever you are. 00:37:10:See if you can slip this off me. 00:37:17:It's a secret of Siam. 00:37:19:It was fitted to my body. 00:37:21:No buttons, no seams. 00:37:46:What kind of... 00:37:48:What was your relationship? 00:37:51:Professional... 00:37:57:Purely professional. 00:38:09:Here you go. 00:38:11:Is this a joke? 00:38:14:Tomorrow, same time. 00:38:19:What planet are you from? 00:38:21:- Santer. - I don't know it. 00:38:23:It's a village in Provence. 00:38:28:Did you ever meet Vidocq? 00:38:30:No, I only wrote to him. 00:38:32:He had agreed 00:38:33:to help me with his biography. 00:38:35:- A biography? - Much more. 00:38:37:A real book. 00:38:39:A serious book. 00:38:40:If I name his killer in the last chapter, 00:38:43:I'll avenge his death. 00:38:45:You admired him. 00:38:47:I know all about him: 00:38:49:about his jailbreak, how he joined the police, 00:38:51:how he locked up all those criminals. 00:38:53:He wasn't a saint. 00:38:56:Don't drag him down. 00:39:00:He betrayed his friends to join the police. 00:39:03:Everyone knows that. It's in my book. 00:39:05:He wanted to fight crime. He'd stop at nothing. 00:39:08:That's not what he thought. 00:39:10:He felt guilty. It was his strength, 00:39:12:and his inspiration. 00:39:14:What do you mean? 00:39:15:He felt everyone had a dark side. That's why the three men died. 00:39:20:You're hiding something! You know where he went? 00:39:23:You can't handle it. 00:39:25:Tell me what you know! 00:39:27:He thought they were perverse. He was trailing them. 00:39:31:How? 00:39:32:He was going to visit the most notorious house of shame. 00:39:36:Where? 00:39:37:The Temple District, Boulevard du Crime. 00:39:43:Thank you, Pr�ah. 00:40:36:How is our investigation? 00:40:38:A suspect's missing. 00:40:39:What do you mean? 00:40:40:The head glass-blower. He hasn't been to work. 00:40:43:He's hiding. The others are protecting him. 00:40:46:I knew it. 00:40:48:The craftsman saw something. He's hiding. 00:40:52:He's scared to death. 00:40:59:What is it? 00:41:00:Nothing. 00:41:03:Find him by tomorrow. 00:41:04:- Don't worry, sir. - Don't worry! By God! 00:41:07:They got Belmont, Veraldi, Laffite. Vidocq burned. Our best agent. 00:41:11:Yes, the best. You know as well as I do! 00:41:14:That's enough! 00:41:16:Paris is on the verge of revolt. 00:41:18:The Belmont foundries are idle. No one's making arms. It's a plot. 00:41:22:Excuse me, sir, if the murders are political, 00:41:25:why kill Ernest Laffite? 00:41:27:Why a doctor? 00:41:28:It must be part of the plan, 00:41:30:their diabolical plan. 00:41:33:Surround the Temple District. Round up anyone suspicious. 00:41:38:Go back to the glassworks. 00:41:40:Interrogate the workers again. 00:41:43:I'm sure we'll find something there. 00:41:46:Go on. I'll join you later. 00:41:51:Minister Polignac's here. I must stay till closing. 00:41:56:Go! 00:43:33:Interested in mechanics? 00:43:35:I'm Sylvia, the manager. 00:43:39:What have we got for this handsome young man? 00:43:42:The fire of Zanzibar. 00:43:47:The salt mines of Gu�rande. 00:43:52:The desert wind. 00:43:57:I'm sorry, I'm not looking for a girl. 00:43:59:I'm investigating Vidocq's death. 00:44:01:Santa Maria. 00:44:03:Vidocq... May his soul rest in peace. 00:44:06:You knew him? 00:44:07:He was a customer and a friend. 00:44:09:I want to know who killed him. 00:44:10:Who doesn't? 00:44:12:I want to see this through. 00:44:14:You'll have to go to hell and back. 00:44:16:Hell? 00:44:18:He was trailing 3 men. 00:44:20:Belmont, Laffite and Veraldi. Were they clients? 00:44:22:No, this establishment didn't stock the items they were after. 00:44:28:Very rare items. 00:44:30:Items? What items? 00:44:32:Virgins, virginal girls. 00:44:36:Pure souls, they called them. 00:44:39:What did they want them for? 00:44:41:What do you think? 00:44:44:It can't be. 00:44:45:The bastards bought them from poor families. 00:44:48:There are plenty around here. 00:44:50:I don't believe you. 00:44:52:You're tiring me. 00:44:53:Go to the paper, "The Furet". 00:44:56:Ask for Froissard. He knows the whole story. 00:45:00:"The Furet", Froissard, the journalist. 00:45:06:Thank you. 00:45:19:Citizens of Paris assert their indignation! 00:45:23:We are in the majority! 00:45:27:News has come from all towns within forty miles of Paris! 00:45:32:Everywhere, patriots are gaining ground. 00:45:37:Paris' population 00:45:39:is prepared to sacrifice everything to save the charter. 00:45:44:The charter! 00:46:09:"April 15, 1830.

I'll soon know the name of the ringleader, 00:48:48:the man who manipulated the three perverts. 00:48:51:You didn't expect that. 00:48:53:If it weren't for Vidocq's death, it would be settled. 00:48:56:We were following the same lead. 00:48:59:- What lead? - The glassworks. 00:49:01:The glassworks? 00:49:02:What's the link with the lightning, the murders, the virgins? 00:49:06:I don't reveal sources. 00:49:09:I was going there when he died. 00:49:11:That's how I got the story before anyone else. 00:49:15:Froissard, the fastest pen in Paris. 00:49:17:You're mad. It's not a race, it's murder. 00:49:21:Is everything all right? 00:49:23:Fine. I'm giving the kid some pointers. 00:49:27:Not now, Froissard. 00:49:29:Things are heating up. We need you. 00:49:31:Alright, I'm coming. 00:49:34:You can't go to the police 00:49:36:because you've no real proof. 00:49:38:I have facts. 00:49:39:It's hearsay. 00:49:41:- I have witnesses. - Drunks and alcoholics. 00:49:43:I have a top-notch witness. 00:49:45:Who? 00:49:47:Me! 00:50:34:You can be sure there was going to be an orgy. 00:50:38:I don't believe you. 00:50:40:If you don't, ask Marine Laffite. 00:50:42:Marine Laffite? 00:50:43:The doctor's wife. 00:50:46:Where is she? 00:50:48:Don't bother. She's in no shape to talk. 00:50:51:- Is she dead? - Nearly. 00:50:53:Opium. 00:50:55:Opium, my friend. 00:50:57:Doped to the eyeballs. 00:50:59:Since her husband's death, she hasn't left her opium den. 00:51:04:Drop it. You can't handle it! 00:51:07:You're all in it together. 00:52:12:- Well? - Nothing. 00:52:15:- You didn't find the glass-blower? - They knew nothing. 00:52:17:Or else they were scared. 00:52:22:I spoke with Polignac. Charles X is issuing 4 decrees: 00:52:26:restraining the press, dissolving the chamber. 00:52:29:Good lord. 00:52:31:Exactly. 00:52:32:What will come of this? 00:52:34:Insurrection. 00:52:37:The citizens will revolt. 00:52:38:With the weapons we have, 00:52:40:we should lock ourselves up 00:52:42:while we wait for reinforcements. 00:52:45:Let them go. 00:52:47:Too bad for the witness. We won't learn more here. 00:52:51:Any news on the Temple revolt? And the surveillance operation? 00:52:55:We're abandoning it. 00:52:57:Tomorrow, we've more important things to do. 00:53:01:- Just one more thing. - What? 00:53:04:Child workers at the glassworks said something odd. 00:53:08:A detail that keeps coming up... 00:53:12:What is it? 00:53:15:They talk of some monster that wanders the glassworks, a ghost... 00:53:20:a creature that has a mirror where his face should be... 00:53:25:Sound familiar? 00:53:26:Vaguely. It's a neighborhood legend. A ghost, or something like that. 00:53:32:When there's a crime, they blame the fiend. 00:53:36:Pure superstition. 00:53:41:Is that all? 00:53:42:I thought... 00:53:45:perhaps we've been on the wrong trail. 00:53:48:Maybe this creature is linked to the murders... 00:53:51:to Vidocq's murder. 00:53:54:You've lost your mind. 00:53:58:You believe in ghosts? 00:54:01:Go get some rest, Mr. Tauzet. 00:54:06:Should I look into it further? 00:54:09:Get some rest! 00:54:11:In a few hours, it won't just be ghosts haunting you. 00:55:12:Marine Laffite? 00:55:16:Are you Marine Laffite? 00:55:19:What do you want? 00:55:20:No time for small talk. 00:55:22:I'm looking for Vidocq's killer. 00:55:25:Vidocq was murdered? 00:55:30:Why are you laughing? 00:55:32:Because it's my fault. 00:55:34:Why? 00:55:36:Don't you see, I pushed him into the monster's clutches! 00:55:42:What monster? Tell me... 00:55:43:- When did you see Vidocq? - 2 days ago. 00:55:48:In my boudoir. 00:55:49:Go on. 00:55:51:Want to die too? 00:55:53:What happened to him? 00:55:57:My fix first. 00:55:59:Who's in charge here? 00:56:03:They'll come. 00:56:05:Tell me. 00:56:10:It all began with Ernest, with his obsession. 00:56:13:He was narcissistic, he didn't want to get old. 00:56:18:That's one way of looking at it. 00:56:20:Your husband was an eccentric, 00:56:22:but also a pervert. He was selling virgins. 00:56:24:Shut up, you know nothing! 00:56:26:Ernest cultivated his image like a work of art. 00:56:30:He thought he was a work of art. 00:56:34:His age was defeating him. 00:56:36:He was obsessed. 00:56:38:He never touched me anymore. 00:56:41:He fixated on his skin, wrinkles... 00:56:43:it was literally eating him up. 00:56:47:Every night, he'd meet the others. 00:56:49:Belmont and Veraldi? 00:56:51:One night I followed him. 00:57:01:This will restore our skin to its youthful lustre. 00:57:04:Stop. You said that last time. 00:57:10:What good will that do you? 00:57:13:A little time in this world? 00:57:16:A touch of magic powder, 00:57:19:and your youth will be restored? 00:57:26:I've got a deal for you. 00:57:30:What are you selling? 00:57:32:What you're looking for... 00:57:34:Eternal youth. 00:57:36:What? 00:57:39:A potion of eternal youth. 00:57:42:Nonsense. No one has that power. 00:57:45:No one, but me! 00:57:48:What do you want... 00:57:50:in exchange? 00:57:52:I need an item. 00:57:54:If you provide it, 00:57:55:you'll get the potion of eternal youth. 00:57:58:What item? 00:58:00:Virgins. 00:58:02:Young virginal girls. 00:58:05:Pure souls. 00:58:08:That's why he bought them? 00:58:09:Why else? 00:58:12:It wasn't sexual? 00:58:14:Sexual? 00:58:17:These men were beyond sex. I would know. 00:58:22:They were into beauty, elegance. A timeless work of art. 00:58:27:The man in the mask, who is he? 00:58:29:The Alchemist. 00:58:30:Who? 00:58:32:The Alchemist. 00:58:34:They say he prowls the Temple District. 00:58:36:He assumes his victims' image in his mirror. 00:58:42:Don't laugh. 00:58:43:He has the potion of youth... It's certain. 00:58:46:He needed the virgins to make the potion. 00:58:51:The drugs have poisoned your mind. 00:58:54:Why am I listening to you? 00:58:56:You're terrified... like me, like Ernest, like all of us. 00:59:00:You're delirious. 00:59:01:Beware of the mask! 00:59:03:If your reflection penetrates, 00:59:05:your soul is lost. 00:59:07:You're crazy. 00:59:09:Weeks went by. 00:59:11:Ernest and the others continued delivering virgins. 00:59:14:They drugged them. 00:59:18:I wanted to stop it all. 00:59:21:I really did. 00:59:25:The opium was too strong... it was everything. 00:59:29:Ernest was eaten up with remorse. 00:59:31:One night, he decided he'd had enough. 01:00:11:8 deliveries and still no potion. 01:00:15:You lied. 01:00:17:You have nothing. No secrets, no potions, nothing. 01:00:21:You're simply... 01:00:23:evil. 01:00:25:I need more! 01:00:28:That's it. I'm finished. 01:00:30:I need more. 01:00:32:He told me everything. 01:00:34:He stopped the deliveries. 01:00:36:So he was killed? 01:00:38:After Belmont and Veraldi, he got the lightning. 01:00:45:- Did you tell Vidocq? - Yes. 01:00:47:What did he do? 01:00:49:Where's that Indian? 01:00:50:What did Vidocq do? 01:00:52:What did he do? 01:00:53:- He took our carriage. - What for? 01:00:56:He thought the horses would lead him to the lab. 01:01:00:What do you mean? 01:01:02:Answer me. 01:01:03:Answer me! 01:01:05:The 8 convoys of girls. 01:01:06:The horses knew the way. 01:01:08:Where's the laboratory? 01:01:10:Answer me! 01:01:12:- Get out! - Where is it? 01:01:13:Answer me! 01:01:15:If I knew, 01:01:16:I'd be dead already. 01:02:15:I won't be long. 01:02:44:Popular beliefs, Rumors, Superstitions. 01:03:05:"A legend. 01:03:08:"One of the oldest legends of the Temple District. 01:03:12:"The Alchemist is a killer and a scientist. 01:03:16:"The residents believe all the unsolved murders are his doing. 01:03:20:"Some say he has no face, others say he has many. 01:03:25:"Still others say 01:03:26:"whoever looks into his mask, loses their soul." 01:03:31:"Whoever looks into his mask, loses their soul." 01:03:40:Whoever looks into his mask, 01:03:43:loses their soul. 01:04:33:Open it. 01:04:35:Open up. 01:04:41:I need to talk to you. 01:05:40:What are you doing here? 01:05:42:Etienne Boisset, I'm investigating Vidocq's death. 01:05:46:That's a good one. 01:05:48:Arrest this scoundrel. 01:05:53:Tell us what you're doing. 01:05:55:My men said a guy that looked like you 01:05:57:was seen on the Boulevard du Crime. 01:06:00:Sir, look! 01:06:05:I told you, Vidocq was investigating the Alchemist. 01:06:08:Good God, the man exists! 01:06:10:It's not a legend. 01:06:11:Let me explain! 01:06:13:It's clear, it's very clear: 01:06:15:Vidocq followed him to the glassworks and... 01:06:18:the Alchemist pushed him into the pit. 01:06:22:Perhaps, yes. 01:06:23:What else? 01:06:27:Let's review our theory thus far... 01:06:31:Suppose the Alchemist was behind the lightning, 01:06:35:and Vidocq was behind him. 01:06:37:I don't get it. 01:06:40:The lightning, the murders, the mask... 01:06:43:It doesn't add up to the supposed criminal. 01:06:46:That would explain these gadgets and... 01:06:50:the mask. 01:06:52:Did Vidocq fall into the pit by accident? 01:06:55:Listen to me. 01:06:58:He orchestrated his own death. 01:07:02:We only found 01:07:03:a pile of ashes, right? 01:07:06:What a great exit for a crooked manipulator. 01:07:10:If I may be so bold, all this seems a bit 01:07:14:complicated. 01:07:15:Listen to me! 01:07:16:Listen to me! 01:07:18:Vidocq and the Alchemist are two people. I've proof. 01:07:22:Our investigator seems to know his subject. 01:07:25:What proof? 01:07:26:Let me go! 01:07:30:They fought at the Invalides when Laffite died. 01:07:33:I have a witness. 01:07:36:What about the gadgets? 01:07:38:Vidocq was a chemist, experimenting with paper. 01:07:41:Is this just decoration? 01:07:48:Who says 01:07:49:there's only one man behind the Alchemist? 01:07:52:You're crazy. 01:07:54:Two rogues could be behind the mask. 01:07:57:Vidocq and 01:08:00:another monster... 01:08:02:Nimier, for example. 01:08:06:You're crazy. 01:08:22:I'm fine, really. 01:08:45:- Are you taking... - The evidence. 01:10:38:Calm down! 01:10:40:Settle down! 01:10:53:What's this? 01:10:59:Where are you from? 01:11:05:He wears a mirror... is that it? 01:11:08:A mirror where his face should be. 01:11:16:How did you escape? 01:11:23:What did he do to you? 01:11:25:What does he do to girls? 01:11:27:What does he do? 01:11:35:Where's his laboratory? 01:11:38:Where is it? 01:14:29:Son of a bitch! 01:16:49:Bastard! 01:16:55:Now I know the monster's secret. 01:16:57:His mirror is alive. 01:16:59:The mask is merely 01:17:01:an energy magnet. 01:17:02:It draws in energy. 01:17:04:The Alchemist robs his victims'souls when he kills them. 01:17:10:He imprisons them with his mask. 01:17:13:He lives off them in order to stay young. 01:17:17:The Alchemist 01:17:18:uses virgins' blood to make the mirror for his mask. 01:17:23:It's the purity of the blood 01:17:25:that gives him life. 01:17:27:If I'm right, I know where to find him now. 01:17:30:The killer doesn't make his mask, he gathers the materials. 01:17:34:The Alchemist has an accomplice, a glass-maker. 01:17:37:I know where to find the man. 01:17:39:The Arsenal glassworks. 01:17:41:Hey, wise guy. Up to no good? 01:17:43:Where did you get that? Still making trouble? 01:17:47:At least I'm doing something. 01:17:49:You think I'm doing nothing? 01:17:51:I've started from scratch by questioning the Chink! 01:17:55:I'm the one who started from scratch. 01:17:57:What's the difference? 01:17:59:You know more than me? 01:18:00:I know who Vidocq was looking for at the glassworks, 01:18:03:and why his suspect was there. 01:18:06:You mean the Alchemist? 01:18:08:You're a bit slow. 01:18:09:You should be after his accomplice. 01:18:13:You mean the glass-blower? 01:18:16:Yes. 01:18:17:The guy saw everything. He saw Vidocq get killed. 01:18:20:What? 01:18:21:Last night I furtively spoke to the glass-blowers when the police left. 01:18:25:I knew they were hiding a guy. 01:18:27:They knew they had to hand him over if they wanted my protection. 01:18:33:- Will he talk? - He's no choice. 01:18:35:It's me or the Alchemist. 01:18:37:- Are you going? - You're quick. 01:18:39:- Take me. - Sure? 01:18:41:It's my investigation. I want to catch him. 01:18:44:I want to avenge Vidocq. 01:18:46:Let's go. 01:18:47:- Where? - Where no one would dare look. 01:18:49:The glassworks. 01:18:59:With Froissard, that makes two. 01:19:03:Every time that fool pays someone a visit, 01:19:08:the Alchemist follows and eliminates the witnesses. 01:19:13:It'll be his turn soon. 01:19:15:And we lost him. 01:19:16:No, sir. I know where he went. 01:19:23:He's with Nimier. 01:19:25:They found the glass-blower. 01:19:29:Well then, 01:19:31:it's the moment of truth. 01:19:37:You'll need this for the gas. Today we're burning toxic materials. 01:20:40:Go on, tell them what you saw. 01:20:43:Relax, they're here to protect you. 01:20:50:He said he was after the devil. 01:20:53:But he was the devil. 01:20:57:He needs a new mask. 01:20:59:He gave me the stuff. 01:21:00:When's he coming back? 01:21:02:When? 01:21:06:He's here now. 01:21:07:What? 01:21:08:In the cooling room. 01:21:11:He should be there. 01:21:13:I can't go when he's... 01:21:21:Wait! 01:21:22:If I must die, 01:21:23:I want to know... 01:21:25:I want to see your face! 01:21:33:Vidocq let himself be killed? Impossible. 01:21:35:I swear I saw it. 01:21:37:When Vidocq saw the monster's face, 01:21:40:he jumped into the pit. 01:21:45:Did you see his face? 01:21:47:No. His back was to me. 01:21:50:All this for nothing. 01:21:52:It was my last hope. 01:22:01:Inspector, 01:22:03:you didn't miss a thing. 01:22:05:Nobody saw anything. 01:22:07:Nobody will know who the Alchemist is. 01:22:11:Really? 01:22:36:Let me see your face. 01:22:50:It wasn't what I saw behind the mask that made me let go, 01:22:53:it was what I saw in the mask! 01:23:04:I told the workers I had to be dead. 01:23:07:Dead in theory. 01:23:09:They hid me. 01:23:11:Took care of me. 01:23:12:At night Nimier came to see me. 01:23:15:I knew you tried to clean up the trail of evidence. 01:23:19:What better cover up than Etienne, the idiot. 01:23:33:God damn mask. 01:23:44:Nimier! 01:23:48:He's mine. He's trapped. 01:25:32:Bastard! 01:28:14:Let me see the body! 01:28:36:I wanted to see you. 01:28:40:I wanted to be sure it wasn't a bad dream. 01:28:45:I could've done without this. 01:28:52:What's happening? 01:28:55:It's over. The people have the Louvre, 01:28:58:Charles X has fled. 01:29:00:Will that change anything? 01:29:03:For them, I don't know. For me, it's finished. 01:29:06:- What do you mean? - At best prison. 01:29:09:At worst, the guillotine. 01:29:11:Or vice versa. 01:29:15:Will you leave France? 01:29:18:No, I'll face the music. 01:29:20:After what we've been through... 01:29:31:By God, how could this have happened? 01:29:57:To our friend Jean-Fran�ois Mallet 01:30:02:Support us and become VIP member |to remove all ads from OpenSubtitles.org 33109
