Jean-Pierre hated cemeteries.

He hated the monuments
and marble.

He called them
"a waste of a good garden."

He always said
he wanted to be cremated

and sprinkled over Edgar's food.

Certainly be an improvement.

So...

This little boy.

Is he why Philippe
shot my husband?

I do not know.

But you brought the boy here?

I found him here.

And, yet, you did not tell me.

I told Jean-Pierre.

But after a day.

I didn't know what else to do.

You could have brought him
to me.

And what would you have done
with him?

I don't know. Maybe talked to
someone in your mosque.

- Which is what I did.
- And?

The imam came to look at him,

but he said
he was being watched,

and so could not do anything

until he spoke to his people
in Algeria.

So why didn't you wait?

- We were also being watched.
- By?

I don't know.

But there was always a man
outside.

So I went to Jean-Pierre
for help.

And why Jean-Pierre?

He once saved my life.

So you thought he could save
the boy's?

He said that he knew someone...

who was already looking for him.

To take him home?

That's what I thought
at the time, yes.

Meaning what, now you don't?

Philippe said something
to Jean-Pierre.

Something strange.

He said that...

"The debt was now paid."

Philippe got him
out of the war.

Okay. You can go home.

But remain there.

I'll come by later
to talk to your family.

- I am very sorry.
- Stop.

I can't hear that word "sorry"
right now.

You need to leave.

In fact,
all of you need to leave.

Let me sit here
and scream in peace.

My dearest Marguerite,

♪

Knock it off.

I'm already in a foul mood.
Let's not make it any worse.

Where's the guy who
belongs to the motorcycle?

What motorcycle?

That motorcycle,
and the guy who rode in here.

What guy?

You think
I'm fucking playing?

Another idiot with a gun.

Good morning, Henri.

How about you put
the shooter away

before you shoot someone
in the street behind me?

I'm sorry, Monsieur Spade,
I didn't know you were you.

You thought I was a robber
come to steal these old tires?

It's hard to see in the dark
with the helmet on.

Oh, Jesus.

I didn't think there could
be a worse liar than Teresa.

Get over here!

Someone took a shot
at Teresa and me,

the same someone who's
been following me

on a Norton Commander ever
since Philippe showed up.

- Listen--
- Don't embarrass yourself.

I knew that Anatole was
into something stupid

when I first came here
and saw the motorcycle.

There are many things you don't
know about me, Monsieur Spade.

Oh, yeah, you're
a real man of mystery.

So what, you're using
Teresa to get to Philippe?

I was trying to warn you off.

I know how much you care
about your tranquility.

Well, I care about Teresa.

You care so much about her
that you took a shot at her?

I didn't shoot at Teresa,
I shot through the window,

which I know
could be fixed.

We discussed it beforehand,
and we decided that--

Oh!

I'm talking to him
right now.

- And if you missed?
- I never miss.

Oh, you have that much
experience, do you?

I do.

Enough to kill
someone like Philippe?

My superiors
believe I do.

And we all know what good
judges of character they are.

However good a shot
you think you are,

you could have killed Teresa,
and trust me,

I don't think you could
have lived with that.

You don't know what
I can live with.

No, what I meant, Henri,

is that I would've
fucking killed you.

I'm not what you think I am,
Monsieur Spade.

You're exactly what
I think you are.

You're a sap who's been sucked
into Anatole's OAS bullshit.

I'm not OAS,
I'm Action Française.

Oh, Jesus, how many
fuckin' dogmatic maniacs

can you have
in one country?

Are we maniacs because we simply
dream of another France,

of the country we loved?

Versus what,
the one you wanna blow up?

Well, I can see that
the France in front of us

is nowhere near
the glorious France behind us.

And just how far back

are you and your fellow
romantics dreaming?

We are monarchist
and anti-Communist.

- Ugh.
- I love my country.

I would die for my country.

Do you have to do all of your
loving and dying in Bozouls?

Aren't there are plenty of your
fellow patriots in Argentina

that you can write
angry manifestos

and compare
kill lists with?

Leave me to enjoy my cognac
and foul cheese in peace?

You are not French.

You're just an American enjoying
the fruit of French sacrifice,

but without any
understanding of our history.

You make your
smart-ass comments

and tell your stupid jokes
about France and French people,

ignorant of all those who fought
and died for their country.

You don't fight for
anything but yourself.

You sound like a leaflet someone
dropped from an airplane.

I mean, you may
not have noticed,

but I do nothing but fight

for the people in this,
our place,

and all the people who
live around Le Truel,

including you two
ignorant dimwits.

And, yeah,
I have a swell life.

Or at least I did
until you all fucked it up.

I can't even go for a swim
in my pool anymore.

How terrible for you.

Yeah, it is
a fucking tragedy.

Does your grandmother know
about your new affiliation?

Didn't think so.

Are you going to
tell her?

You wanna break her heart,
that's on you.

Oh, and Henri,

for the love of God,
stop trying to protect us

before you
get us all killed.

- What have you got there?
- Firewood.

It was the dogwood I planted
a couple years ago,

to hide the neighbors.

What happened to it?

Lightning, looks like.

When did we have lightning?

I don't know, but something
split it down the middle.

What's wrong with you?

You've got that
tigress-at-the-gate look.

You have a visitor.

Who is he?

Mr. Kahn.

Mr. Kahn?

Monsieur Spade, I bring
greetings from a mutual friend,

Detective Dundee.

I heard Dundee was dead.

A rumor, one no doubt
started by Mrs. Dundee.

- You and he met in the war?
- What makes you say that?

Dundee fought
in North Africa.

I was 12
and living in Syria.

No, the detective and I met
on a different matter.

You want to sit down?

Lovely instrument.

My wife thought so.

I never had the ear.

I had the appreciation,
but not the talent.

Not for music, anyway.

For what, then?

Ah, finding things that
don't want to be found.

I don't read Arabic.

I'm a private investigator,

something else
we have in common.

Had.
Who's paying you?

I cannot divulge
the name of my employer,

but I can say that my specialty
is industrial sabotage.

Should I worry
about my grapes?

This work has brought me
into close contact

with some of the richest, most
powerful people in the world.

And let me guess, the rich
and the powerful want the kid.

I'm in Bozouls to find Zayd
and bring the boy to safety

while punishing those who have
taken him from his family.

Get in line.

A plan is,
as they say, afoot.

Do you understand?

I understand that
the child is valuable.

And dangerous.

A very sharp knife that only
those skilled in such things

will know how to use.

A knife will cut
for anybody.

All more reason that
no one person, country,

or organization
should have him.

But you just said you're
cuddling up to these people.

Quality of my bedfellows
is not relevant

if I retrieve the boy.

Happily, I'm ahead
of all of them.

I know where he is.

If I cared, I'd applaud.

Well, to tell the truth,
I knew where he was.

Do you know where the word
"sabotage" comes from?

The dictionary.

The word derives
from the French saboter,

meaning to bungle,
or botch, to wreck.

It originated when workers
would go on strike,

something of
a national pastime here.

They would use
a wooden shoe they wore,

called sabot,
to disrupt the machinery.

And this relates to me how?

You are, in this case,
the sabot.

And what machinery
am I disrupting?

The machinery that
will enable me

to bring Philippe
and his terrorist concubine

into custody,
yet keep the boy alive.

So far, the boy seems pretty
good at taking care of himself.

Yes, one could even say that
someone is watching over him.

Lady Luck.

Not much of a believer,
are you, Monsieur Spade?

A risk I'm willing to take.

Well, it was neither luck,
nor God,

nor even instinct that saved
your life the other night.

It was me.

Too bad you couldn't have
done the same for Jean-Pierre.

Sadly, he too
had wooden shoes.

I observed him entering the
same harki home as the imam.

If you think Jean-Pierre

is part of some
subversive conspiracy,

you owe your employers
a refund.

I think Sergeant Devereux
went up those stairs

to make amends.

I think he made them
on the way down.

I had hoped
Sergeant Devereux

would exercise
some restraint.

Restraint was never
Jean-Pierre's brand of gin,

nor mine.

I'm assuming that's why we're
having this conversation.

As I have just said, I'm part
of coordinated effort to,

in the very near future, bring
all of this to a quick end.

I'm not your problem.

I'm not worried about you.

Chief Michaud has been somewhat
reluctant to cooperate.

He's only reluctant
when people lie to him.

The church feeding him a story
that they're looking into it,

a suit from army intelligence
posing as a cop from Paris,

that kind of thing.

- And the girl.
- What about her?

She tells the truth?

Not on purpose.

Might she be
a possible sabot?

More like
a fly in the ointment.

Are you sure?
Because until this boy is found

and safely returned,
we are on the edge of an abyss,

one far more precarious
than the truth.

I have a parachute.

And I see, a wise crack
for every occasion.

I will then handle
this on my own.

I will, likewise,
see myself out.

Everything. The chair,

It's a beautiful house.

Sometimes you sit
outside on the patio,

but you never wander.

Why would I
wander down here

I want you to know
the whole place.

Not just the house,
but the land.

The only way down here is past
the cellars in the vineyard.

You're bound to meet Basem,

who you have not yet
bothered to know.

I don't need

They can teach you

Why do I need to know

Although I'm told the la vin
claret is pretty good.

Wine,

Making you happy is mine.

And you've done
your job well.

These have been the happiest
four years of my life.

I hope you will stay.

I hadn't planned
on going anywhere.

You're the one leaving.

I told you once
that if we married,

I would not be
much of a wife.

Well, you lied.

I think
we're at the end.

Like hell we are.

Could be six months,
could be three,

but Pouchol says
there's nothing to be done.

Pouchol is

I don't want

No, I've been reading about some
new treatments we can try.

No, I've tried them,

and I don't want this

This is about me, just me.

What, so the whole "in sickness

Yeah, that's just one of

Oh, that's adorable.

Why not just go?

Good.

Sorry I'm late, everybody.

But getting to this town's
a pain in the ass.

- More pain to come, Father.
- Great.

- Have a seat.
- I'm good.

Okay.

My name is Virginia Dell,

and I am a retired
lieutenant colonel

in the Canadian Special
Operations Forces Command

and current
under secretary general

of the United Nations Counsel

on Peacetime
Conflict Resolution.

- Excuse me, what?
- Exactly.

While none of you know who I am,

I am relatively confident
you know perfectly well

why you are all sitting here.

What do we do with this child?

We?

If I may, why the nob
should we tell you anything?

We were off to such
a promising start.

MI6 has clear
authority here.

What is so clear about it?

We've been following
the boy for over two years.

Your Ladyship, you ply
a trade that operates

on a veritable potpourri
of doctrines, tenets, codes,

chief among them
being finders keepers.

The fact of the matter is
no one in this room

has a legitimate claim
on the boy.

So tell me why I should
leave him with you.

Or you, or you, or...

Make your case why I
shouldn't send this child

back to the land of his birth.

He's a British citizen,
and he has a British passport.

I have one of those, too.

French and German as well.

I even have one
for San Marino.

Ah, yes, but you
weren't born in Leeds.

Neither was he.

He spent two months there
with his family

when he was already
three years old.

He was born in Algeria.

And you, sir, are?

Laurent Sou'che,
French Army Intelligence.

The child
was born in Algeria,

which makes him
a French citizen.

Or an Algerian, depending
on your point of view.

He was technically
born in France.

One would have to
practically break one's spine

to get into that
particular position.

You have my respect, sir.

At the request of his family,
we saved the child

from the Algerian
traffickers who held him.

I think, Monsieur Sou'che,

that your English is not
quite what you think it is,

and by "save,"
you mean "steal."

The OAS stole him
from his parents.

Oh, about the boy's parents,
where are they?

His father is in jail.

- You care to elaborate?
- For treason.

Oof!
The queen mother of no-nos.

I should like to have
a chat with that man

before you put him down.

I'm afraid that
is now impossible.

"Now" as in he's
already been executed?

Or "now" meaning you no longer
have him in your custody?

The second one.

Barring some type of

daring Count of Monte Cristo
escape,

am I to assume that
an exchange of some sort

led to this man's freedom?

He alerted us to the boy's
exact location in Algeria.

We sent a man. He confirmed that
the boy was in imminent danger.

So we gave the order
to extract him.

To reunite him
with his parents.

Because he can
break codes.

To keep him safe
from harm.

And what better way to
keep a small child safe

than with an Army sniper?

Oh, we didn't send
Sergeant Saint-Andre

to Algeria
to look after the boy.

We sent him to Algeria
to assassinate

a high-ranking
FLN operative.

But he became distracted.

I assume you are referring
to the FLN operative

who earlier made that
magnificent leap off the bridge

and is currently
somewhere at large

in the French countryside.

Well done.

Sorry.

I was just thinking
about something funny

that I saw one time,
during the war.

Funny, like what,
Sergeant?

Someone getting hit
in the face with a shovel?

Oh.
nothing that funny.

I have to say, I never would
have taken you for a naif.

Your Mr. Kahn
was a cover.

Lousy pun of a name,
if you ask me.

Cover for who?

Well, seeing that Mr. Sou'che
was hiding in the backseat,

I would guess that your
soon-to-be ex-superiors at SDECE

are part of the bargain.

- And the other part?
- Those facts are still murky.

But I wonder,

how did the good father get
here on such short notice?

Is there an airfield nearby
that I somehow missed?

That's quite
the imagination you have.

In our line of work,
imagination and experience

are one in the same,
wouldn't you say?

I'm not in your line of work,
so I couldn't say.

Yes, you could.

No, I have no idea what
you're trying to allude to.

- My mistake.

Tell me, Father,

maybe you can shed some light
on exactly what Rome was doing

with Gaylord Rabideaux,
one-time monk,

full-time mental patient.

The Church bears
no responsibility

for anything that's
happened here.

Oh, you must
have that tattooed

to the inside
of your eyelids.

I don't have to
listen to this.

No, you don't. You can read
the details later in Le Monde,

"Church Kills Nuns"--
it's a headline

that'll translate across
a multitude of tongues.

You put that maniac
cueball on the street,

and as far as
the U.N., Interpol,

and a few other honest Injuns
are concerned,

whatever happens after that,
you own it.

And which one are you, huh?
What, are you Interpol?

U.S. Army intel?

You can go now,
Section Chief.

I mean Father.

I'll bet the latter.

Yeah, hats off
to the director at CIA

for getting a man
inside the Vatican.

You're a bitch.

You're free to go, too.

I was always free to go.

But not to return.

Go spy on some other
quaint little village.

It's not that quaint.

Could I have a word,
Lieutenant?

Maybe even more than one.

A pleasure.

Where do you think
you're going?

I'm leaving with them.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Philippe Saint-Andre,

I am arresting you for the
murder of Jean-Pierre Devereaux.

I have no idea what you mean.

Then I will be more clear:
I have a witness

who saw you
murder Jean-Pierre.

- Gazala? Where is she?
- Not Gazala...

You should have
died over there.

They probably would have
buried you a hero.

And what's that worth?

You've made a mess of everything
since you were a kid.

Let's go.

Lady Cynthia, off you go.

I assure you, this matter
is very far from over.

The queen has my number.

Madame, would the two of you
give us some privacy?

And finally, Mr. Spade.

You have
an interesting accent.

What part of Canada
are you from exactly?

The South.

I'm guessing somewhere
below Niagara Falls.

I would think a man
of your experience

would not have gotten within
100 miles of such a rat fuck.

Not to mention, turning the
whole affair into such a mess.

Philippe made the mess.
I just tried to clean it up.

You pick up vomit
with a teaspoon,

you make a bigger mess.

What a swell metaphor.

I read a lot of
E.E. Cummings.

A small constabulary on
the ass end of a giant hole

is no match for
the big guns elsewhere.

One phone call
to anyone heavier

would have ended the whole
thing before it got this far.

A call to who, you?

I don't know who you are
or who you work for,

and we both know
you're about as Canadian

as sweet potato pie.

And you're not here
saving this kid

out of a sudden
spasm of altruism.

No one wants
another war, Spade.

In Algeria
or anywhere else.

Oh, so you're just snatching him
in the name of world peace.

If that helps you,
but then,

I can't imagine that a man
of your particular origins

is all that upset
about body count.

I suppose I've just
never understood

that whole thing about
diplomacy at the end of a rifle.

You're really gonna
sit there and tell me

that you have never
had to be your worst

in order to do your best?

I make decisions,
and I live by them,

for better or for worse.

One doesn't
go to bed one person

and wake up another
just because one says so.

You mean people are
simpler than they think?

I had no idea.

I mean people know
what they want.

The rest is justification.

Take you, for example--
you wanna be left alone.

You live
in a quiet little village

where the locals know
just enough about you

to leave you be.

You've read my mail.

And yet, sadly,
our pasts are portable.

And you find yourself
continually drawn in

to the lonely, the troubled,
and the confused.

Otherwise known as
the entire human race.

But I'm not drawn
to anybody.

I'm just dubious
about everybody.

Common ground, at last.

- Henri Thibaut.
- What about him?

He's OAS and he killed
a fellow French soldier.

Note the body
in your pool.

Henri might have shot him,

but it was the Brit
that killed him,

wherever the hell he is.

And you deduced this how?

From the 303 slug that went
through the soldier's head

and into my dogwood.

My condolences
on your tree.

I'm sending the bill
to MI6.

Still, I would have turned
him in to the French Army,

but that Sou'che was
such a pompous prick.

- Will I regret that?
- Leave Henri alone.

If he is at all
abetting those people

and taking another
shot at De Gaulle--

He's just
going through a phase.

A phase?
Like acne?

He's a passionate kid that
watched the fight come home.

He's just on the make
for a sense of purpose.

Well, get him a dog
or get him laid,

so he can find a new one.

- I have a long flight back.
- Back to where?

You might be
interested to know,

your old office in San Francisco
has a new occupant.

You checked out
my old office.

Boy, you Canadians
are thorough.

It's a talent agent
named Eddie Solomon.

His clientele are all
female impersonators.

What happened to
the ventriloquist?

Hung himself.

Anyway, word has it

Eddie's doing
rather well for himself.

He's leased
the entire floor.

The Hunter-Dulin Building

was never that expensive
to begin with.

I'm just saying...

It's not our world anymore,
Mister Spade.

Which is why I am here.

- Geez.
- What?

That's the worst fuckin' French
I ever heard.

Come along, Zayd.

♪

How's George?

Retired.

Oh, and his name's
not George.

- No?
- No, his name's Reggie.

- What's yours?
- Felicity.

Joy.

Elizabeth.

Calpurnia.
Take your pick.

Well, now that
that's all done and dusted,

how about we go back to
our place for a little drink?

How about you
go fuck yourself

in the crumpet
with a cricket bat?

Suit yourself, but you don't
know what you're missing.

Toodle-oo, Mr. Spade.

Will they cut off
his head?

More likely they'll
lock him up in a cell,

out of sight
for a thousand years.

Nobody wants to be
reminded of their mistakes.

Hey.

You decided what you're
gonna do with the club?

I haven't thought
past tonight

and what I am going to sing.

What have you decided?

I thought I would do a set
of my favorite sad songs,

see how many customers
I can make cry.

No better way
to peddle booze

than to a bar full
of sad souls.

You know, I might stop by
and have a little cry

right along with them.

Should I hold my breath?

How would you sing?

I need to protect
my investment.

I'll wait,
but not long.

She's very pretty.

You know, Mr. Spade,
I'll be okay,

if you don't
want me around.

Do me a favor.

Call me Sam.

♪

Where are you off to?

To play dominoes.

You mean to get drunk with all
the other biddies of Bozouls?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Do any of you even know
how to play dominoes?

Maybe you'll learn
to speak French one day.

We'll be able
to have a real conversation.

What would we talk about?

Your countless flaws!

I think my French
is very good.
