In the home, in the car, at the beach,

wherever you go, you can always count on

long life batteries. Life is too short to

do without long life on cell everywhere.

Despite an all-out effort on the part of

the police department, Rene Guillou is

still at large. Nevertheless, as a result

of questioning Guillou's mistress, Jean

Dufour, Inspector Bourriere is convinced

that without money and probably without

the continued protection of the

underworld, he will not be able to leave

the Paris area. It would appear then that

Guillou's capture is to be expected

shortly, perhaps within 24 hours.

Lacaz, Darrell,

and Gomo.

you, he'll be okay with me.

of the department store. Now, at 12

noon, you set off a bomb you planted in

the department store basement. And you

set off another one in the post office

property. That's right. Old Mountain Rd.

in Villen. One of my clients was to send

his driver to collect me. 9 o'clock in

front of my office and drive me to an inn

that was for sale in the country. I knew

anything. The driver didn't know where

the place was, but only my client. So

when your driver pulled up, I got in the

car and I made a mistake, that's all. Do

you expect me to swallow that?Well, look

inside my billfold. You've got my papers

there and my billfold. My driver's

license, my identity card, my social

security. It's all there, the address of

my office. Look. LookAnd

not a police station. I mean on the

telephone. On the telephone.

Get me the police on the telephone. We

don't have a telephone. You have a

telephone. What do you call that?That is

not a telephone. What do you mean it's

not a phone?No, Mr. There's no public

telephone here. That telephone is

private, reserved for the use of the

personnel. Well, I have to use it

reserved or not. I don't care whose phone

it is. It's a question of life and death.

It's an emergency. Why did you say so in

the 1st place?You know what the number of

the nearest police station is?I don't

know the number. I know it in Versailles.

That's all. I'll take a look in the book.

Hello, Mother. Is that you,

Let me go! Let's go! A doctor! Make me

call the doctor! Someone's

got to call her a doctor! She needs a

doctor!

Ohh

You can forget about a doctor. ]

From now on, you're going to cool it.

Otherwise, your kid is next.

That'll give you something to think about

till his father gets here.

That's better. Now go make us somecoffee.

Go on.

Hello?Yeah, you want to speak to him?

Giorgio?Yeah, fine, you just call me. Now

we'll see you in an hour, hour and a half

from now.

Thank you.

I'll answer it, will you?

I insisted if if you return my wife and

my son I won't say anything now I'll call

every half hour and my wife will answer

me if she doesn't I'm calling the police

I'll repeat it you're going to come back

home in five minutes no it's out of the

question

I'm holding a gun to your wife's temple

I'll let her explain

he means it Claude he means

what he's got a gun at my head

right to my temple

they've already killed my mother Alan is

with another one upstairs

Nobody says Claude. Nobody says please.

You hear that?Do what you're told. If I

obey you, you'll kill all three of us.

I'll call you back in half an hour, and

if my wife answers me, I won't talk. But

if not, I'm going to the police.

You take care of her and I'll finish off

the bread. Don't be stupid. You

don't plan to stick around for the first,

do you?No. As long as we got his

family with us, he won't say a word.

Look up.

Don't make a move.

You haven't done your job yet. I said

we're staying. That means you too. Let

me have your gun.

well it was Guillou all right he was here

last night how many victims it was Dr.

Tye and his wife witnesses

we have been questioning the kitchen crew

when someone else came forward the

railroad station master in Verneille

the top item in the news is the

apparently senseless killing last night

at an elegant out-of-the-way country inn

for details we switch you to George La

Tour at the Auberge NemarlingA

cozy, rustic dining room with a

sophisticated clientele suddenly became a

bloody scene of violence last night,

adding bizarre twists to the Rene Guieu

affair. Police inspector Burieur released

a statement confirming the deaths of Dr.

and Mrs. Gerard Tai. Dr. Tai was the

world-famous Nobel Prize winner, noted

for his work in cancer research. The

owner and operator of the Auberge, Joseph

Giorgio, long suspected of underworld

involvement, has dropped out of sight.

However, one of the chef's assistants has

testified, according to Inspector Borier,

to the effect that Rene Guieu was indeed

among the guests of the Auberts for the

past few days.

It would appear that Dr. and Mrs. Tye

were the innocent victims of a gangland

settling of accounts, which in no way

concerned them. The gunfire that claimed

their lives seems to have been intended

for some unknown person. And that person

seems to have escaped his assailants. or

someone of his description was reported

by a railroad station master nearby

Verneuil to have been in the vicinity. No

further information has turned up as to

his real identity. However, that's where

the trail of the Guyot gang has led, to a

dead end. For all latest developments,

keep tuned to this station.

A car's pulled up in front. Who is it?A

neighbor who's come to get Alan. The

folks have a carpool to take them to

school. Well, go tell them whatever you

want, but make sure you get rid of them.

Daniel, Alan isn't feeling well, so he

can't come to school till Monday. Oh,

okay, goodbye.

What is it?Nothing. You look awfully

tired. Yes. Well, you see, I wasn't able

to shave you to get home last night.

There were no calls this morning. Yes,

sir. Mr. Felician telephoned. Sounded

rather sufficient. Oh, I know. Yes, Yes I

know it's nice. Would you get me some

cigarettes there?

Not those. I'm sick of that kind.

Anything else but those. What's wrong

with that kind?You've been smoking the

same ones for years. Yes. Well, what's

that got to do with it?I feel like

changing today. Now, will you go and get

some?Go get me a dozen

campanellas. Campanellas. Campanellas.

They're those little cigars. Cigars.

That's right. Run down and get me a

little pack of cigars. OK, but I'll

finish my letters first and go out after.

Don't argue with me. But you told me

yourself to make sure they'd be mailed by

noon. That's why I came back early, to

make sure of it. And argue. I said just

do what you're told. Go on.

Hello?Nick, are you all right?How's Alan?

Where is he?What have they

been doing?Has anything happened?

Where are you?At my office.

How do I know you haven't talked?

The lives of my wife and my son depend on

my silence.

True. But now what do you have in mind?

I'll still hold my

tongue. I'll call my wife every half hour

if you'll give you a word that you'll

free my wife and my son out to the

holdup. What makes you think

I'll keep my word?

The fact is, I have no choice.

It's a deal.

From now on, you'll play along with us.

Right, I'll play along, and what's more,

I must consider myself as one of your

accomplices. to tell you the truth I

haven't got much sympathy for the tanks

either you're welcome to bleed them white

if you like as for the police I agree

with you those bastards you know when I

was a student I... Shut up that's enough

you talk too much

perhaps I may at that

I'm just explaining well nobody wants you

to explain now pay attention I'll

repeat it just once more you keep your

trap shut and don't move from that office

you call back here once every half an hour

Act normally. Don't change a thing in

your routine. So if you play it cool, and

it goes as we planned, I'll return your

family to you this afternoon at two

o'clock. Understand?Yes, I've got that.

May I please speak with my wife?I

can't take it. I can't take any more it's

too much keep calm Nico

it's all going to work out don't worry

it'll all work out try to keep calm

dear it'll all be over in a matter of

hours don't worry about it until they'll

do what they say tell Alan that I'm

right here he can count on me

it's only a few hours that's all you must

be harmed Nico please I know how

strong you are you can get through it

I'll tryI've got to hang up,

all right?I'll be calling every half

hour. Remember, I love you, my dear.

Well, goodbye. Goodbye, Claude. Give

me a spell fault.

No! My God! No! Not

that! No! No Leave him alone!

You can't do that! No! No

Hello. Okay, we know where he is. I want

you to send Lacaze, Goman, and Ferrell to

53 Avenue Franklin Roosevelt.

It's called Intermobilia. He'll be there.

When it's over, call me back. We'll

finish here, and we'll join you.

Thank you, Genevieve. I'm going for a

shave. Shouldn't take longer than half an

hour. What?You made me go out for your

cigars, and you were gonna go out

yourself all along?well What do you think

I am, anyway?I'm sorry. I mean, I wasn't

aware I'd be going out then.

Forgive me, will you?

Good morning, gentlemen. Looking for

someone?Mr. Ballard, please. He's not in.

May I ask what for?It's personal. Well,

if you'd like to wait. He shouldn't be

gone long. No more than half an hour,

he's at the barber's. No thanks, we'll

come back. If you like, bye.

what's wrong with you I've gotta make a

call I've gotta make a call what happened

will you be quiet please keep quiet don't

say any word just be quiet but what's the

matter I have to make this call you here

I'll keep quiet just keep quiet

hello Nicole it's me

where are you your boys bungled it

right now I'm in a cafe don't worry

though nothing's changed I haven't read

the word oh I don't blame you for

it if I put myself in your place okay

cut out the horseshit it only means we're

exactly where we were you're still on the

run and I've still got your wife and kid

now let's hope for your say can for mine

that everything works out from now on

call me back in half an hour

Now, maybe you'll explain all this. Well,

who was it?

Benegyu.

Benegyu.

He killed your mother. He's going to kill

Nicole now, and that is he's been

threatening to kill them.

Did he really kill Mama?

But why?

Tell me why. The whole thing is

impossible to tell. It's impossible to

believe. Sheer lunacy.

Renegy, you took me for someone else.

That's what happened. He took me for a

certain Voracey,

Voracey, one of his men, I suppose.

Voracey's car was to pick him up when he

took me. I was supposed to meet a client

to sell a country yen, obviously. I don't

quite understand. That's what I said.

Makes no sense.

Renegy, you took me for foresee.

So I discovered he's planning to break

into a bank this afternoon at one

o'clock. He told me the whole plan in

detail as soon as he learned that I

wasn't the real foresee. He ordered me

killed. I was lucky enough to escape. He

had my papers, my address.

He went to the house and installed his

gang of murderers and took Nicole and

Allen for hostages. But my mother.

Why her?Why'd they have to kill her?I

don't know. I don't

know why. Nicole told me just now over

the phone.

What now?

What do you mean?You have a duty to do.

You have to go to the police. if I were

to report it then you'd be sure to kill

him if you don't report it he's going to

kill them anyhow like mother don't

forget Nicole's my sister it's my concern

as well as you what are you doing calling

the police no I certainly do have

the right you let them kill my mother

you'll wait till they murder the whole

family listen to me the man is dangerous

he is not someone you can fool withOur

only chance is to obey him. You can't

reason we're the lunatic. He's mad. Our

only chance is to go to the police. No,

no, I won't allow it. You want to kill

the girl. You want to kill Adam. You're

the one. You'll kill him. No. I object to

this. I strongly object to this

interference. The only one who is

concerned is me. After all,

it's my son. My wife and my

son. Their lives depend on my silence.

You'd never have known if my brother

hadn't acted out of turn. You would have

kept his word. Yes, he would.

He would have returned my wife and my

son. He would have returned them alive,

too. Ohh Just forget what my

brother-in-law said and let me handle

this affair alone. You have our sympathy,

Mr. Ballard. But you ask a good deal more

than I can. Just let me handle this

affair. That's all I ask of you,

inspector. Let me handle this

alone. It only concerns me. That's where

you're wrong, Mr. Ballard. All of us are

concerned. We are because Mr. Grimalda,

your wife's brother, came to us for help.

But more importantly, because Renegy, you

and his men are about to commit a holdup.

God knows how many people they'll kill if

we don't try to stop them stop them if

you interfere with them now the place is

going to be littered with corpses of

course that'd spoil your cops and robbers

wouldn't it that will do Mr. Ballard your

sarcasm is uncalled for the situation is

too dangerous surely you know that

have you forgotten about the gangsters

plan to set explosives off in one of the

largest department stores in town

that there are hundreds of people

shopping there at that hour what's more

you know nothing about you you he has no

intention of sparing your wife and childI

hate to be so brutal, but it's true. You

may as well admit it. Oh, even crooks

have some honor. They just tried to

murder you. Is that what you'd call honor?

There were no promises, though. It wasn't

the same thing at all. He never gave me

his word of honor that he wouldn't kill

me. My only concern was for my wife and

my son. It's our duty to protect them.

And yours is to give us your trust. Give

you my trust. You ask for a lot.

Whenever you're involved in one of these

cases, it always ends in catastrophe.

Listen Mr. Ballard perhaps we're being

far too considerate of you you withheld

knowledge of a criminal act that was in

the making by law you should have

reported that crime your failure to

report it has implicated you now if you

like you can help prevent the crime from

happening you've only to cooperate with

us however we have a duty to do with or

without your help I say no matter whose

life you're endangering

I am still responsible for all decisions

which concern my family you'll not like

to intrudeYou also have a responsibility

to obey the laws of this society. We're

responsible for their being obeyed in

spite of your intransigence. You're

trying to tell me what to do. A man is

free to do as he wishes. I have a right

to decide this alone. Yes.

This decision only concerns my family. It

concerns the lives of my wife and my son.

All I have in the world. This

is still a free country. The newspapers

will be interested in this. I have

contacts too, in business, in politics,

and in your department, come to think of

it. Right. City officials, I may even

have you fired. I may even sue you for

this. Why not?I've got sufficient

grounds. I will sue you. I will have you

charged with murder. By your negligence,

you would murder a woman and child. Do

you think you've got a license to kill?

We'll see about that. We'll see about

your justice. Justice. Let go

of me. Let go of me. Let me go.

Get the doctor. Let me go.

That ought to quiet him down. But don't

let him get excited. You'll let me know

when you're through. Thank you, doctor.

He ought to phone them now. If not,

they'll wonder. Mr. Ballard.

Now, Mr. Ballard, hadn't you better phone

your wife?

If they don't hear from you right away,

they may get nervous. If you know what I

mean.

Hello. It's me, Nika.

What's happening now?For the

moment, things are calm. They're waiting.

It's going to be over soon, dear. Let me

talk to him.

Where are

you?In the cafe. Why didn't you call

sooner?It was impossible. There was a

woman on the phone. I had to wait till

she was through. Well, pretty soon

we'll be clearing out. It's too

dangerous. you'll squeal on us if we wait

too long we'll take the boy and your wife

along you'll give me your number from now

on let me do the phoning that

wasn't our agreement and besides I've got

to know where my wife and my son are

otherwise how can I be sure

well then during the whole time we're at

the bank you can have your wife on the

line now what's the phone

number but I've nowhere to

receive a call apart from my office where

can I go I go back to your office

No, no, I'm not going to do that. Once

was enough. Well, work something out

then. Think of a solution. Call me back

in half an hour. A half hour, but no

longer.

You know what'll happen. Once they've

left there, we've lost them. But rest

assured, we won't make a move without

taking the greatest precautions.

Our first thought is for their safety.

Now will you cooperate?

They'll leave the house soon. Set up a

tracking system immediately throughout

the area. We've little more than half an

hour at best. I'm afraid it's

impossible to arrange this thing in half

an hour, Sir. You'd want 100 vehicles of

all kinds for such an operation. And in

half an hour you couldn't mount anything

that would work. All we can do now is

stall for time. There, you see, I

knew that you wouldn't be capable. One

minute you say to keep calm and the next

you give orders that even one of your

subordinates calls calamity. Mr. Ballard.

There is nothing else you can say.

I have no confidence in you, and I never

did have confidence in you.

I'm sorry, but you can't count on me from

now on. I'm finished.

If something goes wrong, I'll hold you

responsible. Mr. Ballard, what

you need now is some rest. You're at the

breaking point. Chabot take charge of it

go down to constables room

Boria set up that tracking system

immediately we can never set up anything

even remotely affected in such a short

time and without half trying he'd slip

away that would leave us back in square

one no my advice is to impose a

delay by means of diversion in the

meantime explain yourselfWe have a

maintenance truck from the electric

company. It's equipped with a crew in

uniform. Surveillance unit, you mean?Yes.

A team of five. A half hour is enough

time to prepare and to get out to the

house. The truck's been equipped with

radio, so we'll know what goes on. And

stall GU as well. There's only one

trouble, Boria. GU is hardly likely to

be taken in by that. The electric

company. Something an amateur would

suspect. There's not much choice.

It's physically impossible to work out

more in the time we have. yet I know of

no other way to gain time without his

knowing it what about the woman and child

this whole thing is for them if you

should manage to escape there's no other

way of saving them also we might make an

effort to warn Mrs. Ballard so she's

prepared for us in what way if her

brother and officer Kruger dressed as

electric company repairmen appeared at

the door of her home to inform Mrs.

Ballard that they'd come to lay a new

cable as planned and would like to begin

their work in the yard she would

certainly know what we're up toIt's

too risky. You're playing with fire. When

you have to deal with dynamite, it can't

be avoided. And we have to move fast,

more than ever. I'm convinced we've got

to go all the way, sir. Right now.

Would you be willing, Mr. Grimaldi?

I'll go along with the inspector. It

doesn't appeal to me. But as you put it,

we haven't much choice. Let's get on with

it. Come with me, Mr. Gribaldi. As soon

as the men are in place, I want direct

radio contact with them. I want the

entire operation under my personal

direction.

Get dressed, kids.

I said get dressed.

Hurry up now.

I want to speak to the commissioner what

I want to see him now

It's Officer Pretur, sir. Mr. Ballard

wants to see you. All right.

All right, bring him here. Right away,

Commissioner.

Follow me.

how are you feeling now Mr. Ballard were

you able to get some rest

you're up to something aren't you you

needn't worry it'll be all right you'll

pardon me sir but I think it'll be

necessary for him to know the truth we've

sent a special operations team to your

home your brother-in-law's with them

but you gave me your word you even

promised to take every precautionWe only

hope that we'll still be able to save

your wife and son. It's possible, as long

as we hurry. I know, I knowWhat

interests you is arresting Renegue. That

or shooting him down. The rest of it

doesn't mean a thing, the lives of my

wife and my son. Not a thing. I'm in your

way, too. I'm no use to you. But you've

got injections. Shut up, though. That

will do, Ballad. We have the most

delicate of maneuvers to do. If you

refuse to cooperate with us, you'll be

placed in protective custody. Now, will

you be reasonable?

Granny, a truck pulled up.

There's two guys coming.

Go answer the door now. Think of an

excuse, but get rid of them. We'll be

with your kid upstairs.

morning ma'am it's the new lines in your

neighborhood we're going to start

installing them since we'll be working

around your yard for a couple of hours we

thought we'd warn you is that okay

with you it's impossible I won't be home

all day we don't mind we can still work

I told you it is impossibleYou'll have to

come back. Just a minute, ma'am. What am

I gonna do with my men?Sorry, but there's

nothing I can do. It's one thing that my

husband has forbidden. We don't allow

strangers on the place in our absence.

Okay. We can always work the road

then. Bye, ma'am.

You call me a son of a bitch but I'm an

angel compared to your husband. He

blabbed on us. In our world, you pay a

price if you go back on your word.

You don't know him at all. He never would

talk. I'd just forgotten about those

workers. What's more?Your

world isn't my world. We don't live by

the same laws, nor the same convictions,

nor the same morality. If my husband's

gone to the police, and I can't believe

he did, I swear he'd have been right.

Shut your mouth! He'd have been right.

'Cause now I'm persuaded, no matter how

things turn out, you're murderous. For no

reason. Not a fan of it. Your honor,

I always deal straight. Hey, Renee,

now what do we do?We've beer or we've had

it. What are you sweating for, you

goddamn coward?

Headquarters, I'll go here. We just had a

talk with her. She's close to breaking

down. She wasn't about to let anyone

inside her place though, so we didn't see

much. we're gonna work below on the road

as planned if anyone shows we'll let

you know we'll await further instructions

from Commissioner Fernet open out

this is Captain Savage of the security

brigade we've completed our stakeout

of the village the immediate area is

under complete control we're awaiting

your orders to move thank

you captain

Now it's time for you to phone home, Mr.

Ballard.

Mr. Ballard, I warn you. You have to

stick to what we said. No matter

what.

Hello.

Let me talk to my wife. You son of a bitch

You screwed up. Just what do you mean?

I got pigs disguised as workmen all over

the yard. And you're pretending you don't

was today?They show up whenever they want

to. You know that. Cut out the bullshit

You too.

If you don't believe it, you can find

out. Have one of your own men go out in

the open in Choice's face. You know for

sure.

As long as the lives of my wife and my

son depend on the outcome of it, you've

nothing to risk in trying what I propose

to you.

We'll see. Wait a minute.

Go out to the car and drive it up to the

house. If you make it back, we're

clearing out of here. Are you

crazy?I already told you I don't like

cowards. You want me to get killed?

Sin Otto! Somebody else might be ready!

walked out.

uneasy.
