Villeherviers!

- Everthing okay? - Everthing okay.

Hello.

Villeherviers!

- Is that the Molette hotel over there? - Yes.

- Is it closed? - I don't think so.

- But it's Sunday, you know. - That's all right. I'll wait.

They'll be opening soon.

- Here, your return ticket. - Ah, thanks.

- There's a train to Alengon at noon, right? - 12:02.

- You like it? - Beautiful.

It's not reasonable.

Only men buy this kind of thing.

Jeanne will never guess a woman gave it to you.

I wasn't only thinking about her.

David?

He wanted that exact one. I don't know why he didn't buy it.

- He'll recognize it. - So what?

You can buy a rifle by yourself.

Yes, of course.

- What's the matter? - Oh, nothing.

David leaves you in peace, we know that.

- But don't forget, I can't take any risks. - Ah, Philippe...

My father-in-law would get rid of me straight away if he knew.

- You're still his grandchildren's father. - Do you believe that matters?

Kiss me.

I have to go now.

Are you going home straight away?

Not until tonight.

- And you? What did you tell Jeanne? - That I'll stay at the forest warden's place.

Don't do that, Francoise.

- It's not loaded. - I know, but you can't do that.

- You're already smoking? - The last one... or the first one.

- Who's coming along with you? - The usual group.

I'll ask the desk to send you breakfast.

- When are you leaving? - I'm not in a hurry.

In two or three hours.

Take it with you. It'll bring you good luck.

- See you next Tuesday? - Of course.

The taxi was called away on an emergency. It'll be back within 60 to 90 minutes.

I figured I could take the noon train.

There is another one at four. It will give you more time to visit.

If you decide to rent "La Guetiere", you will need a car.

It's very secluded, you know.

- Good morning, Mr. Mansart. - Good morning, Mrs. Molette.

- You can bring the breakfast to the room. - All right.

I'll come back tonight to pick up my things.

- Have a good day, Mr. Mansart. - Thanks.

The only people you will see at La Gueti�re are hunters.

And only during hunting season.

It used to be a windmill. You'll see it's been really well arranged.

- Please bring that up with the breakfast. - Right.

- Excuse me, you're going to La Gueti�re? - Yes.

It's on my way. I can give you a lift if you want.

That's a great idea. It'll get you there quicker.

Here's the key - don't forget to bring it back when you return.

I will tell the taxi to pick you up around 11 a.m.

That way you will catch your noon train.

- It doesn't bother you? - Philippe Mansart.

- Helen Wells. - Follow me.

- Bye. - Bye.

You want to buy La Guetiere?

Maybe I'll rent it for the weekends.

You must enjoy being alone.

The weather isn't very pleasant during this time of the year.

I don't mind that.

Are you moving up to this area?

I'm a teaching assistant at the Caen University.

- You know the area, then. - Not much.

I have friends in Alengon. Professor Juillet and his wife.

Ah, you're a friend of the Juillets! We might have already met.

I'm Auguste Marjorie's son-in-law.

Do you know the Marjorie stores?

- No. - You will.

My father-in-law is a senator. He calls the shots in this town.

Friends of mine. The Danvilles.

Idiots...

They're a bit crazy.

Don't worry, they're like kids.

- Let them pass. - It's not that easy.

Well, Mansart, you're chickening out?

- Idiot. - Slow down. Please.

Those bastards...

- The house is 100 meters from here. - Thanks again.

- See you soon, I hope! - Goodbye.

Hello.

- You could introduce us, Mansart. - Just a minute, mate.

Helen Wells. Paul Danville, Albert Danville.

These gentlemen are scrap metal merchants which explains their disregard...

... for their car's body - and those of their friends.

Take it easy, Mansart.

Well, goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Are you American?

No.

- British? - Yes.

Come join us. We're going pig hunting.

- Wild boars. - No, I don't think I'd like it.

Too bad.

Nice job. Congratulations.

Don't worry, we'll buy you a brand new one.

I'm counting on it.

Who's that? Where did you find her?

On the road.

And she fell into your bed, right?

Nice job, Albert! Congratulations!

Shit. That kind of girl gives me a hard-on. Even when I'm sober.

Sober... Sober or not, huh?

This shed is falling apart.

I won't spend a fortune for its maintenance.

- But that's where we store the machines. - Put them somewhere else.

- There's plenty of room. - Maybe.

I'll talk about it with your husband when we handle the farming accounts.

- Is the fence for the Longueville fields done? - Almost.

It's still missing about 50 meters. I went there yesterday.

You'd better take care of the traps, Maurois. There's never been so many.

It's not true, Mr. Sutter. I swear I keep an eye on this poacher.

There are no traps on your hunting ground.

- I wouldn't bet my life on it. - All right, all right.

- Hello, everybody. - Hello, Mr. Rollin.

- Hello, my friend. - Mrs. Leuillot. My dear David.

- It's chilly this morning. - Yes.

- How are you, Maurois? - Hello, Mr. Rollin.

- It was freezing cold at church. - What an idea...

- To be a good Christian? - Do you want some soup?

No, I'll have some ham.

Tell me, Rollin...

- The Pichons are clients of yours? - Yes, always have been.

What are they planning to do with their grounds in Saint-Jean-le-Blanc?

Are you interested?

Yes, if they're not too greedy.

- You must have some influence over them. - A notary doesn't have much influence.

You think you can obtain the building permit?

After the departmental council elections, yes.

Mansart?

It would be better if the Pichons were unaware of it.

- Yes, but they are almost friends, so... - All the more reason.

I'm going to try to arrange that for you.

You know I never forget those who have done me a favor.

Here are the Danvilles and Mr. Mansart.

It bothers me that you always invite the Danvilles.

- I must admit I find them amusing. - I don't.

- So, how are you, you crooks? - We're feeling great, David.

- Paul and I are taking all the bets. - Yes, Sir!

- Well, we'll see. - Take care of the dogs, Maurois.

Come in and have something to eat.

- Hello

- How are you, Rollin? - Fine, thanks.

- Is that ham any good? - Yes.

- What did you cook for us, Fernande? - Please, gentlemen, behave yourselves.

Let them be, Mr. Sutter. Barking dogs don't bite.

Not like the other one.

- You shouldn't allow her that, Mr. Sutter. - Go fetch the wine, Maurois, will you?

Bring us some wine, Maurois, for God's sake!

Maurois, we're thirsty.

The priest didn't give you enough host to eat, notary?

- Please don't blaspheme, Danville. - You got a hard butt.

Very funny.

Have a little drink. Here, Mr. Albert.

- Why so sulky, Maurois? - I'm not sulky, Mr. Danville.

When I think of Fernande...

I expected to see you here.

I called at your home last night...

... and Jeanne told me you were spending the night at Maurois'.

Yes, that was my plan, but I changed my mind.

Along the way?

- Rollin! - Do you want some soup, Mr. Mansart?

- Yes, with a lot of cabbage, Mrs. Leuillot. - Too much cabbage and you'll pee yourself.

If I had a chick like the one we saw him with...

- ... it isn't cabbage that I would eat. - What's this chick story?

- What chick? - Gentlemen, I ask for your discretion.

- What was her name? - Wasn't she from England?

Who laughs when she gets rammed!

What?

- Philippe, do I know her? - I don't think so.

- A friend of Juillets. - The shrink?

She must be a nut if she knows Juillet.

- And how is she in bed? - Nuts, of course.

- Hello, gentlemen. - You had a good trip?

We almost crashed.

In the middle of a bend, Chamond wanted me to avoid a rabbit...

... the road is wet, the car drifted, we almost ended up in the ditch.

Mrs. Leuillot, please serve these gentlemen.

- Would you like cooked ham or cured ham? - Some cured ham. Hello, Mrs. Leulliot.

- Hey, here comes your sausage. - That's right.

Luckily, he managed to straighten the car or we would have ended in the ditch.

- You must have been scared stiff, Chamond. - Chamond can't get stiff.

Let them talk, Chamond.

- Of course, I let them talk. - No, thanks, Mrs. Leuillot.

Anyway, everybody knows they are idiots.

- I spared a terrine for you. - Thanks, Maurois, how are you?

So, what's the plan, David?

Maurois spotted two places. A lone boar in the woods...

... and a herd of two or three animals in Maltourn�.

- How's your husband, Fernande? - Very well, thanks.

- Not too much work at the farm? - No shortage of work here.

Some guy came to hunt here last year.

He's got a big garage on the road to Alengon.

Tell me, Claude, I heard you lost your niece.

- Yes, last week. - My God.

He's going to close his business. He's broke, there's no more work.

- You should meet him. - What about Marie-Danielle?

He's not asking you to lend him money, but maybe you...

I wouldn't lend him some money, my clients will.

After all, it's a creditworthy and healthy business.

She had been sick for six months.

What are you going to do with the inheritance?

Nothing works these days. You know it as good as me.

How's your business? Oh, it's always good for notaries.

You knew her well?

Well, it's Rosy who hooked me up with her.

Another day laborer would be fine.

- Ask your boss. - Well... you know him.

Mrs. Leulliot, I'll have some more wine, please.

- I'll touch the subject with him today. - That's nice, Mr. Nimier.

You're never too shy to touch something.

I would've been stunned if you hadn't said anything.

- It's a nice piece of land. - Around 17 acres.

- Some more? - Well, sure.

- You're forgetting about me lately. - I'll never forget about you, Mr. Albert.

She was in pain for the last three weeks. It's been very hard.

- Leave her alone. - I'm only giving her a kiss.

One of these days, you'll get in trouble for telling things about me like you did earlier.

Poor Maurois. Isn't it true you'd rather have fun with little girls?

I did nothing wrong, you hear? Nothing.

I don't know why the little girl got scared. She screamed, that's all.

Poor kid. Seeing you with crazy eyes, Maurois, I can understand why she screamed.

Don't say that. I didn't do anything.

Maybe, but without Mr. Sutter, the police would have taken you in...

- ... and you'd be rotting in prison. - Maurois?

Bitch.

All right, I'm taking bets today.

- Really? - What's your first bet?

- T'll bet... - I don't know...

- 1,000 francs on my brother. - Okay. As usual.

- What about you, David? - 2,000 on Nimier.

Who put sugar in there?

2,000 on Nimier? He's the favorite.

He doesn't take any risk, does he?

- What about you, Mansart? - 500 on Chamond.

- Well, aren't you lucky. -I am.

- What about you? - The Captain, 2,000.

- Alright, the Captain. And you, brother? - Give me the dough.

Hey, the notary IS running away...

I hate this stupid tradition...

... but I'll do like everyone else: 2,000 on Nimier.

You're scared of losing your bread?

My "bread" was earned hard and clean, that's why I don't want to lose it.

In the scrap metal business, money doesn't stink more than anywhere else.

- I never said that. - What about you, Nimier?

- Nobody put a bet on you, so I will. - My brother put a bet on me!

With the amount of alcohol you had today, I doubt you'll hit anything.

- What's that? - No, don't touch it!

Come on, gentlemen, let's hurry please.

- Put the window up. - Let's not waste time, please.

Chamond, wait, I've got the trunk keys.

- Come on, Chamond! - Just a minute.

Well, a new rifle?

May I?

Oh, my, it's stunning. Must have cost a little fortune, huh?

Indeed. Excuse me.

- Would've been easier with a machine gun... - Oh, shut up, Nimier, you do it with a rifle!

- You shouldn't, Mr. Paul. - Oh, shut up, Maurois.

- Come on. Go fetch, Rex. - Here, dog.

They hunt as bad as they drink.

My eyesight is not so good today. I almost missed it.

At least four pounds. Catch, Paul.

Four pounds? There, Chamond.

- No! Shit! You're disgusting! - Cut the crap.

- There, Maurois. - It didn't bite you, did it?

Come on, dogs, come on, Rex. Come on, dogs. Come on.

- I got a visit from Mangin. - I know. I sent him.

Yes, I know. Thank you, by the way.

You're welcome. I sold him the new Ford...

... and he needed good insurance, so I told him to go to you.

- Take good care of him, he's loaded. - Oh, well...

- I think I got him a pretty nice contract. - Nice for you, right?

So, you're running for it? It's settled?

Yes, my father-in-law approved of it.

He'll have at least one department councilor on his side.

I've decided to support your campaign, too.

There will be no shortage of money.

The others will support you too. I think it's in their best interest.

Not yours?

- Well then, good luck, gentlemen. - Yeah. Sure.

He'll bring us bad luck.

Captain, Chamond, you go that way.

Mr. Paul, Mr. Albert...

- A bit more on the left, Mr. Paul. - Listen, Maurois...

100 francs for you if the pig comes through that gap.

When you track it down, the pig can come out anywhere, Mr. Danville.

- It wouldn't be fair for me to accept. - Two-faced bastard.

- It's chilly, isn't it? - It's a bit damp.

The wind will turn in an hour.

Don't you worry, we'll have it tracked down before then.

Say, Captain, I'll bet that you've walked past the right path.

This one, right over there.

Well, T'll go then.

Maurois.

I don't like to be favored. Okay?

Okay, Captain.

'Delagrange', special vintage. Want some?

No, thank you.

You should, it's excellent. Rollin, what about you?

No, thank you. You know that I don't drink.

- Do you want to warm up your hands? - Thanks.

- You're well prepared. - Sure, I'm an organized man.

Nothing is left to chance with me.

Here comes Maurois.

Mr. Sutter could cover the left side.

Mr. Mansart, the center with me, and Mr. Rollin, the other side.

Okay then, let's go.

Nervous?

I don't like having loaded guns behind my back.

Keep your line, Mr Sutter. It can turn back.

Don't worry, Maurois, my rifle's loaded.

Come on, dogs. Come on!

It's here.

Come on, dogs! Come on, come on!

Ah, damn it.

Careful it doesn't turn back!

- They'll get it, Mr. Mansart! - Well done, Maurois!

Chamond, quick!

Shit! Shit, shit, shit!

- What the hell is with you? - Okay, I know...

I can't believe it. Why don't you change your glasses?

- Ah, that's smart. - Did it run off between your legs?

- What's going on? - Chamond is completely blind.

It's not my fault, guys.

Shut up. He missed a boar at two meters...

The Captain came across a Fellagha there in the woods.

Come on, take it.

- Come on, Chamond, come on. - Stop it!

Goddammit!

Say, Maurois, I almost got my feet trapped in this.

Fucking poacher.

I swear, if I catch him, I'll give him a hard time.

Why does it bother you, David? A few little traps?

- You don't hunt rabbits. - Property is property.

Whether it's a rabbit or something else.

We could head towards Maltourn�, Mr. Sutter.

- Some apple, Philippe? - Trackers on one side, shooters on the other.

It would save us some time. The Captain can join us later.

Especially since it's a long way. Okay, let's go, gentlemen.

- We'll meet in Maltourn�. - Okay, alright, let's go. Come on.

- Some coffee, Albert? - Leave me alone with your coffee.

- What's wrong with you? - Next time you miss a pig...

- ... Paul and I will cut your balls off. - Hell, yeah!

- Chamond's balls for a pig! - You're drunk, the both of you!

Oh, don't make that face.

- Stop it! - It's scratchy, huh?

Go, go, dog.

What's with Rex, Paul?

- This idiot thought you were... - Can't you hold him?

Rex, shut up.

Well, there... What are you doing here?

- I was looking at the statuette. - Do you want it?

It's fine right where it is.

- What's going on? - No, don't shoot, Chamond!

No, it's Rex who's got the wrong animal.

You don't like dogs. That's something they can feel.

I am sorry.

- You're leaving? - Yes.

Chamond, won't you offer the lady a coffee?

- Would you like some? - Yes, I would.

- Did you like La Gueti�ere? - Very much.

It's nice, isn't it?

- Are you planning on moving there? - I don't know yet. Maybe.

Be careful, it's very hot.

Thank you.

It's good.

- It warms you up, huh? - Yes, it's hot.

Anyway, if you come live in the area, it'll be a pleasant company, won't it, Paul?

We won't complain, for sure.

Don't count too much on me for your amusements.

Oh, we have other ones, you know.

If you live at La Gueti�re, Mr. Mansart will be happy about it.

You don't like dogs, but you have nothing against men?

Thanks for the coffee.

Paul, I don't understand... Why did you say that?

The lady is going to think you're jealous of Mansart.

He meant that he wishes he could be as lucky as him.

Don't listen, Miss, these two must always joke around.

- I have to go. - Are you angry?

If you leave us like this, we'll think that we're bothering you.

Yes, that's right. Now, you're bothering me.

Let me go.

- Don't you think you're going too far? - Shut up.

Rex!

- Come on, stop being stupid now. - Call him back.

- Come on, Rex. - Stay out of this, Chamond.

What's on your mind, Paul?

But what are you doing? No, you are...!

Come on, stop!

Stop it! Stop, you idiots!

- I'm warning you, I'm not part of this! - Shut up, Chamond.

You are two filthy bastards!

- Hear that? - It came from La Gueti�re.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go, for God's sake, Chamond.

What's Nimier doing?

That's a good question...

Maurois, show Mr. Danville and Chamond where to stay.

- We're waiting for your signal. - All right, Mr. Sutter.

What's with you?

- Nothing, we messed up. - Nah... Don't worry.

- Doesn't she know Mansart? - Listen, she's not going to tell him.

- The honking has stopped. Is it gone? - Come on, come on.

Shit, my rifle...

- I can't believe it. Go get it. - Leave it be.

I'll go.

Hey, come help me! It weighs at least 80 kilos!

Oh, well done.

You're still here?

I came back for...

Well played.

You wouldn't know how to use it. Give it to me.

Paul!

- My little Paul, what is it? - Don't touch me.

Oh, my God.

I thought she...

- I didn't see it coming, you know. - I told you it would go wrong.

Don't move. We're going to take care of you, and then...

- ... I swear I'm gonna take care of her. - No, it's her...

We've got to catch her, otherwise she's gonna talk now.

She's got no other choice now. To defend herself.

She shot me, you understand?

We can't leave you like this.

Listen, I'm telling you, it's not that bad.

Run after her...

Offer her a deal.

- We'll keep our mouth shut... - And she keeps her mouth shut, right?

Right, give and take.

- You can tell the others it was an accident. - Yes.

- It's going to come out eventually. - If she agrees, no one will know.

It's between her and us.

Don't be stupid, Chamond, you're in this with us.

- I didn't do anything. - You were there, weren't you?

It's all your fault she got Paul with your rifle!

- Hurry up, or we're screwed. - Listen, you go get the others.

Tell them it's an accident and that you're going to get the ambulance and the police.

- The police? - That's what they must believe.

Then, you'll go hide in the Legrand quarry and don't you move...

... until I tell you that it's okay with the girl.

- And Paul? - Come on, go. Come on. Hurry.

Don't mess up, Chamond. I don't want to go to jail.

You're sure you'll be okay?

Don't worry. It hurts, but it's not serious.

Here. Press that on it.

Okay, don't you worry about a thing, big guy.

What happened to you, Mr. Paul?

Something stupid.

Give me some water.

Put down that phone and listen to me! We can sort this out!

It doesn't work!

And that's good because you were going to do something stupid, huh?

Come on, open the door, darling! We'll have a quiet talk.

David!

What's going on?

David!

David!

Listen to me, damn it! What's up with you? Where are you going?

Come on...

I'm telling you, we just want to work it out.

Come on, come back.

Why do you run off like this? To go get the police?

What are you gonna tell them? That you shot my brother?

You can't prove anything.

So it's best to reach an agreement, for you and for us.

Don't run away, for God's sake! Damn!

You were right, Mansart, she really is crazy.

It's okay, Paul, Chamond told us everything.

- He went to get the ambulance. - She didn't do it on purpose.

And why did she have a rifle?

It's Chamond... To show her.

- Loaded, on top of that. How unsafe. - Don't make him talk.

- It's gonna be fine. - We'll save some time if we go get a car.

You're not gonna drag me down the road. I'm telling you, it can wait.

What do you think, Nimier?

It's always impressive in the stomach, it bleeds like hell.

- Show me. - I'd rather not.

We know how you treated your Fellaghas.

As you want.

Come on, Miss, stop!

Dammit, she's nuts!

Why is Albert not coming back with this woman?

And why did she run away?

She got scared.

Albert and Chamond were taking care of me. They didn't see her go.

One of us should go and see what Albert is doing.

Yeah, no need for us all to stay here. I'll go.

- Don't leave me. - Of course not.

Go on, you guys, I'll stay with him.

Let Albert take care of it. He'll come back with her.

Probably. But in the meantime, stay still.

Take this, Rollin, and give it to him if he's cold.

Don't worry, Paul, the ambulance will be here soon.

Go have a look at La Gueti�ere and meet me up there.

I don't like this, you know?

It's only an accident, sure, but God knows what these stupid reporters...

... are going to write about it.

- Don't you think it could be a problem for you? - Yes, but not more than for anyone else.

Well, you're the one who spent the night with this woman.

Of course it has nothing to do with what happened but she could talk...

... and mentioning a future department councilor could be good for her.

She won't.

Do you know her that well?

Of course, you could say that she's lying.

People will believe you, of course.

Listen. If it can help you...

... I'm prepared to say that you were not with her last night.

That won't be necessary.

Well then, good for everyone.

So?

The back door's open and there's a broken pane.

Really?

Look.

- Is that her? - Who else could it be?

David!

Albert and the girl are running over there!

What the hell are you doing here? Couldn't you stay with Paul?

Rollin is with him! Chamond left to get the ambulance!

But what's going on with that woman?

Don't you see? She's trying to get away!

I can see her on the other side! She's trying to run away!

It's your turn, guys! I'm done!

She must be in there.

- There's something wrong, Captain. - What's wrong, Maurois?

What the hell are you doing? She's getting way ahead!

- So, are you going or what? - Yeah, we're coming.

What the Danvilles and Mr. Chamond say...

You know something?

I wouldn't like to make a fuss or to get in trouble.

- Where did you find this? - At the chapel.

Maybe it isn't hers and doesn't prove anything.

Bastards...

- Oh, I must have sprained my ankle. - Hey!

- Take the others with you! - Albert, what the hell is going on?

That girl's crazy! Don't let her get away!

You go after her! I can't anymore, I'm exhausted.

What do you mean by "get away"? Where could she go?

We can let the police handle it! Oh, I've had enough of this story.

She's in the tunnel.

What is she trying to do? It's dangerous in the tunnel.

Nimier thinks she's in the tunnel!

No, I'm telling you, she's on the other side!

Albert, I don't know what you're up to...

... but Maurois and I are sure that she's hidden in there.

- Okay then, T'll go. - No!

Stay right where you are! You're only scaring this woman away!

Go on, Philippe. She knows you, at least.

- She doesn't know what she's doing. - Talk some sense into her! It's enough!

Did you hurt your ankle?

Philippe.

Philippe. Let me go in there, Philippe.

- What do you want from this woman, Albert? - Didn't you see what she did to Paul?

I did and I'd like to understand.

Miss Wells?

What did you mean by "What is Albert up to"?

Maurois found this in the chapel.

Miss Wells?

Miss Wells?

That's all I know, Mr. Sutter. I only picked this up.

What does that mean?

It means that they must have fucked her, and obviously she didn't want to.

That explains why Paul has his guts out.

Are you crazy?

I'm not. The Danvilles are.

And they know they're in trouble. And so are we.

Miss Wells?

It's me, Mansart.

Can you hear me?

Don't be afraid. Show yourself,

Come. You have nothing to fear.

Who's with you?

Friends.

Danville too?

Why?

What happened?

Come, let's not stay here.

Come.

Walk behind me.

- Danville, I need to talk to you. - Leave me the hell alone.

It's not the right time.

She's coming.

Come.

Don't be scared. Trust me.

I don't want to talk to anyone.

Take me to the police.

Come back!

What the hell? Have you gone insane, or what?

- Don't let her get away! - Stop him, Nimier!

What's gotten into you?

If she talks, we're all screwed!

Tell me... Why would we all be screwed?

Because these bastards raped her.

Chamond had forgotten his rifle, Paul wanted to get it and she shot him.

Do you realize, Danville, what situation you have put us in?

That's why we must catch her and make a deal with her.

- After shooting her? - She mustn't go to the cops!

What kind of a deal?

She shuts up, we shut up.

But what do we have to do with this?

- We haven't done anything. - We won't be your accomplices.

- What you've done is awful. - If she gets away...

... there will be no deal, she'll talk.

And we'll all be in trouble. Whether you want it or not.

Are we together in this, David?

Albert? Chamond didn't go to the police or to get an ambulance?

No, he's hiding. He won't move until I tell him to.

If it drags on, your brother could die.

No, I know Paul. He'll be okay.

We shouldn't leave him alone. He's going to do more harm.

- Wait for me, I'm coming! - Maurois, go with the Captain.

- But... - Do as I say!

I don't see why...

Remember what you did and how I got you out of it.

- It's not true what they said, Mr. Sutter! - Go or you're fired!

You should go too, Philippe.

They can all go to hell.

You're not in the best position in this affair.

I'm talking about last night. You were with her.

No.

You fool.

Come on, hurry up!

We must cover all this up at any cost.

How?

By talking some sense into this woman. After all she shot Paul...

... and isn't innocent either. She must understand that.

- What if she doesn't? - Money convinces everybody.

You're disgusting, David.

I have decided to settle this case for everybody's sake...

... including yours, and I'll leave you no choice.

- How? - You know very well.

I'll bring you down in front of Jeanne and your father-in-law...

... and without the Marjories' fortune, you're nothing.

- You'd run the risk of being ridiculous? - Oh, not more than you.

And don't count on Francoise to get you out of this.

I got her used to a luxurious life, and you can't match with that.

- Do you have a light? - Of course.

Let's go.

Rollin!

- Rollin! - I'm here.

- Oh, I thought... - Of course not.

I'm just wondering what they're doing.

Why aren't Chamond and the police already here?

And on top of it... I'm cold.

You're not planning on drinking in your condition?

No, it's for you.

I don't drink anymore. You know that very well.

I know, but it'll warm you up.

It's not an ordinary day. That much is true.

It's strong.

I had forgotten.

Go on, some more.

It warms me up, it's true. But it's not too good for reflexes.

The game is over.

My reflexes will have come back by next Sunday.

It's funny.

What?

I didn't know you could laugh.

How do you feel?

A bit gross.

That's nothing.

Thank you. Thank you for staying with me, Rollin.

It's only natural.

No, it can't be, she couldn't get away.

If I was her, I'd try to get out of the woods.

- I'll send Rex after her! - No, Mr. Danville!

You're Cr az \4

Let me go. Look! She's getting the hell away!

- Are you okay, Maurois? - Yeah, I'm fine.

- I've seen worse in Indochina. - Come on.

This is like a battue.

If she's in there, we must make her get out of it.

And then?

Wait!

Sir, wait!

Wait!

Sir, wait!

Wait!

Don't try to escape anymore, Miss.

It's no use, believe me.

- I promise we won't do you any harm. - Albert, give me your rifle.

You'll get nowhere with it.

Okay. You don't say anything about what happened to you...

- ... and we... - Don't come any closer!

And we don't say a word about my brother. We'll say it was an accident.

- You won't get involved. - Somebody could come on this road, Captain...

She knows it. She is stalling for time.

Come on, say yes, and everything will be sorted out.

I don't believe you.

You see?

- No way, Albert. - Go, Philippe.

- Albert, let Mansart go! - What difference will it make?

Let him, I'm telling you!

Let's not stay on this road.

They won't come.

What are you saying, Paul?

The police and the ambulance, they won't come.

Nobody went to get them.

What are you talking about? Of course they did.

Something must have delayed them. I don't know what.

And it's Sunday.

But the others... With that woman...

I'm surprised that they're still not here.

They're after her because she ran away.

Don't talk. You're tiring yourself out.

She wouldn't listen to Albert or the others. I know it.

No one will come.

No one will come.

No one.

Not until they've caught the girl.

Aren't you feeling well?

It's okay.

I'm fine, I'm just a bit cold.

I'm going to give you the pocket heater.

- Wait for me! - We can't! We'll lost sight of them!

We must warn Rollin. He must be wondering what's going on.

And Chamond? Chamond too must be panicking!

Especially him.

- It seems you've forgotten about your brother. - Shut up, will you?

- Wait for me. - Hurry up, David.

Listen, Maurois is going. You're going to tell Rollin the truth.

We have to, or the man won't understand.

He mustn't do a thing. He must wait for us.

I'll explain everything to him. Go now.

Give me Rex. And hurry.

Don't look at me that way. You have nothing to fear from me.

What about the others?

Wait for me, for God's sake. I'm having trouble walking.

Hurry up. If Mansart hasn't caught her, she must be far already.

- She might be at the police station. - That's not funny.

It would be even less funny if Mansart was playing another game with the girl.

- He knows her, right? - He knows his own interest even better.

At the tunnel, no one knew what had happened.

Danville didn't want to kill you. Just to scare you, at the most.

He'll shoot again if he finds me.

- They're here? - No, it's Chamond.

What are you going to do?

- Wait for him to go away. - And then?

- What the hell are you doing here? - I've been looking for you everywhere!

- I didn't know what to do. - You didn't call for anyone, did you?

- Don't worry, they know. - No, no one.

So, what's going on? Where's the girl?

- You didn't see her? - Well, no.

That's impossible. They must be hiding somewhere.

But...

There was no smoke earlier.

Over there.

I'm in the same mess as the others.

- There is nothing I can do. - Except try to silence me, right?

Are they here?

Let me go.

They'll catch you.

You will go out when I tell you to.

She's here, isn't she?

- Didn't you hear me? - Yes, I did.

So, is she in there?

She is here, yes.

Is it fixed?

Answer, Philippe! Did she agree?

No.

- Stay there, Albert. - Are you going crazy, Philippe?

Maybe.

Come on now, you can get out!

You're such a bastard, Mansart.

Do you realize what's going on? You're on the road to ruin!

She's ruined us all a while ago.

Nimier!

You're not going to shoot me, are you? Or any one of us?

It's not easy to shoot your friends, you know.

It's touching to see you play the hero, but you'll regret it.

- Chamond. - No.

We'd better try to stop her on the path to the ponds.

- Is it my rabbit that you want, Maurois? - Don't be a smartass.

I got busted again by my boss because of your traps.

- You do your job well, though. - Are you making fun of me?

You want to know something?

- Bosses are all bastards. - Leave me the hell alone.

What is it with you today? You seem weird.

Weird, me? Why would I be weird?

- What do you mean? - I don't know...

You're not yelling at me, you're not sticking your rifle on my stomach...

- Why did you leave the hunt? - What hunt?

The one of your boss and his friends.

- What did you see? - Nothing, they're hunting, that's all.

A boar.

A big one.

They've been after it since this morning. That's what you wanted to know?

Oh, I don't give a damn, I don't like pigs.

Well, we're lucky you're not also interested in pigs.

- So, do you want my rabbit? - Stick it up your ass.

- She's been there. - Come on, doggy!

You know, Nimier, I don't always understand you.

That doesn't matter.

Why are you with me on this, for example?

- With you? - Yeah, in this affair if you prefer.

I've got enough on the others to pressure them if they mess with me.

But you have nothing to worry about.

You don't want to answer?

- You wouldn't understand. - Try me.

It's something I learned in the army. Cling together, swing together.

- A group is a group. - I don't get it.

Cause you're a dick, Danville. Come on, get it, get it.

It wasn't me, I swear. I didn't tell anyone.

I hope it wasn't Rollin.

No, they're going towards Fonvi�re. It's not for us.

If they don't catch her in the woods, she should get out by the ponds.

Go on, I'll catch up.

- What are you trying to do, David? - Can't you see that I'm in pain?

You wouldn't mind letting us go on our own.

I don't understand.

- Come on. - What are you doing?

I am making you go all the way.

What are you doing, Paul? You're crazy!

I'm thirsty.

You mustn't drink.

- Especially not this. - You're hurting me.

You shouldn't have moved.

Stay still now.

I think I'm dying, Rollin.

You've lost a lot of blood, you're weakened.

Listen, Paul, I really have to go and see what's going on.

Don't leave me.

- You can't stay like this any longer. - Not now.

All right, then,

I'll stay.

I'll stay.

Don't fall asleep, Paul.

You'll catch a cold.

In 1943...

I was in the maquis and one day, we got asked to arrest...

.a woman who had told on our friends to the militia.

Three of us went...

... and when she saw us coming...

... she ran off.

She wasn't that young but still...

... she made us run all day long. We couldn't get hold of her.

Finally, in the evening...

... we managed to surround her on a little path.

She was there, totally exhausted.

Weary, with no strength left.

She had done what she thought she had to do.

When she spoke, it was to ask us to finish her off.

And then...

... the three of us shot her.

One bullet each, together.

Together. It was important.

Because that's...

... the hardest part.

Wake up, Paul. Paul!

Don't sleep.

Because of the cold...

I followed them because they made me do it.

I didn't want to.

Why don't we go tell the police now?

Both of us. We'd get away with it.

So you think we can get away with it, as you say?

I don't.

Forget it, Maurois.

Yes, Mr. Rollin.

- I didn't mean it... - Let's try to find them, and quick.

They found her.

You don't seem to be happy about it.

Isn't that what you wanted?

Chamond, behind you!

- What the hell did you do? - I didn't want to, I swear.

Chamond, are you completely mad or what?

I didn't kill her!

It can't be! Not mel

We mustn't let her escape! I shot her now!

Who shot?

Answer, for God's sake!

David!

- David! David, come quick! - What's going on?

What is it, Rollin?

Paul is dead.

How could you let something like this happen?

It's insane.

And you, Philippe?

- Where is she now? - She ran off to the ponds.

She's wounded. I shot her, but I didn't mean to.

Now it's too late.

Don't let me down now. She mustn't run away.

- Otherwise I'm done. I can't... - Okay, shut up, Chamond.

Come, Albert.

Come.

God help them find her.

Maurois, we're going to the other bank.

I can't walk anymore, Philippe. It hurts too much.

I'll carry you if I have to, David.

Rollin is accepting this situation quite easily.

He didn't have a choice. The Danvilles did him a favor once.

Yes, an accident, in the mist.

There was a cyclist on the side of the road, and we didn't see him.

Wait a minute.

You drove off?

That cyclist... you killed him, didn't you?

Rollin was driving. He was drunk.

Help me get out of here.

And the Danvilles?

There were traces on the car. They made them disappear.

I'd like to see you die here, David.

Wait.

Wait!

Albert! It's her purse!

I'll make her come out!

I would never have thought a chick could do this.

That's horrible. Not like that.

- Are you mad? - Leave me alone, Albert.

You want to die too? Is that what you want?

Finish her off, then.

You would like that, right?

We're killing her, all of us.

Don't forget we must all say the same thing.

Paul was alone.

He went after a wounded animal.

We don't know how it happened but we can imagine.

He must have slipped, he fell, it's a common accident.

As it often happens.

We looked for him for hours, and when we found him...

... around four o'clock...

... four o'clock...

... he was dead. Right.

Philippe, you know what you have to say.

You dropped this woman off at La Gueti�re...

... when you came back here this morning, you didn't see her again...

... and didn't tell us about her.

None of us saw this woman today.

We don't even know she exists.

What if they find her body?

I won't allow anyone to empty the ponds or to scrub them for years.

Maurois will make sure to lock the gates.

And remember, everything we say...

... is highly believable.

We're not the kind of people who can be easily suspected.
