"You were right, Fritz." "The exploitation of generous ideas show no difficulties." "Really, it's the easiest way to have a well structured organization at our disposition." "The more simple and the less expensive." "Today, contracted killers are over expensive." "But idealists have a taste for martyrdom." "They die without complaining and ask for nothing." "Soon, thanks to the "Red Hand"" "we will rule the whole country!" "On your knees, companions." "Let's greet our masters." "Get up, sons of the "Red Hand" !" "Introduce the applicant." "You asked to join us?" "Do you really know the aim of the "Red Hand"?" "The aim of the "Red Hand"" "is triple." "Grandeur, fairness and new order for the Xampana." "What justifies the struggle without mercy we lead?" "The struggle without mercy led by the "Red Hand"" "is justified by the corruption, prevarication and immoratility ruling in Xampana." "What are the three weapons at the disposition of the "Red Hand" to lead its just struggle?" "The three weapons at the disposition of the "Red Hand" to lead its just struggle are blackmail, intimidation and assassination." "Do you swear that you will use these three weapons without hesitation?" "And that you'll obey blindly to the leaders of the "Red Hand"" "without asking any question?" "I swear." "Remove his blindfold." "Here is what happens to those who betray their oath!" "Never forget!" "The "Red Hand" is everywhere." "Charity!" "Charity!" "Here's for you my good fellow." "Maybe Mylord has some fire too?" "The guy on the bench..." "You sure?" "He comes here everyday for eight days." "Every afternoon." "What is he doing?" "He speaks to no one." "He just waits." "It's probably him." "Wanna taste?" "No thanks." "You're wrong." "It's a great Bordeaux vintage." "You never drank a better wine at your father's, Mr Jorgell." "I see you're the man we're waiting for." "And who are you?" "A simple cog in the organization." "Follow me." "Who are you taking me to?" "Marguerite Roy, queen of the bums." "The sole sovereign really elected thanks to universal suffrage." "Password?" "Twelve degree." "Her majesty awaits you." "Welcome to Paris, Mr Jorgell." "Who are you?" "The first secretary of her majesty." "Dr Cornelius wired us about you." "Her majesty have a lot of respect for him." "She will be very happy to help you." "Thank you, Hilda." "Come here, young boy, I like americans." "Sit down by my side." "And tell me how the Kramm brothers are doing, the dear scoundrels!" "They're doing fine, Mrs." "Cornelius never had a good health but Fritz, what a man!" "Take a loukoum." "Thanks." "We met in a Circus in Hamburg." "Cornelius was doing an hypnosis number." "We were young then..." "His fees allowed him to continue his studies." "A very deserving boy." "You don't like?" "I love them!" "Take the others." "They're rose flavored." "Thanks." "I heard you've made mistakes." "Whatever..." "I'll give you some fake papers but you'll have to work." "The Kramm brothers recognized me some talent." "Take it easy." "Everyone has his own specialty." "Tramps specialty is recuperation." "It suits you?" "Not really." "Thank you my little Apu, you can go." "Don't count on special privilege." "Everyone who enters the brotherhood must start at the bottom of the ladder." "Meaning?" "Digging in garbage dumps." "Why not if there's an opportunity for advancement." "Only by way of seniority." "Later you can pretend to dig garbage dumps in high-class neighboroods." "Very interesting." "At the end of your career, if you're well noted, you can pretend to beg on a church's place." "All this requires reflection." "You have no choice." "The Kramm brothers asked me to keep an eye on you." "How shall I begin?" "By getting your hands dirty!" "They call you Mylord because you're an englishman?" "Could be..." "How did you become a bum?" "By vocation." "You're kidding?" "Why?" "We have an healthy life." "Always in the open air." "Breathe a big one." "Don't you think it smells good?" "I see." "You want to stay incognito." "I became a tramp to be left alone." "So hear my advice..." "No question." "Hi." "You have something for me?" "Yes, two cans." "Alright." "Here." "That's all?" "Read the share prices." "You'll see that iron is very low." "Stop!" "Shit!" "You're going about it the wrong way!" "If you're smarter than me get behind the wheel and take my place." "Come on, push!" "I see you're very gifted behind the wheel." "I have a little talent." "Just when I'm looking for a good driver." "Sorry, I'm already under contract." "Just for one night." "See what I mean?" "I never refuse to work overtime." "It's the chance of a lifetime." "We must not screw." "It's still far?" "You'll see, a little desolated church." "There on your left." "You Pascual, you wait outside You're on the watch." "It's raining cats and dogs." "If you want your share you must get wet." "The treasure is inside the crypt." "Behind the altar." "It's Childeric's treasure." "A franc bishop." "His remains lie there with all his vestments." "The Gods seem angry." "Shut up!" "Don't bring bad luck!" "I don't like it!" "I'd rather go." "Come on, we're too close to turn back." "Go on." "But it's gold!" "Solid gold." "With inlaid diamond works." "Where?" "There." "You're right." "We're cursed!" "On your knees, infidels!" "Pray!" "Pray and beg God to forgive you! Don't do that!" "Come back!" "Help!" "Help!" "So long, Childeric." "You're nothing but dust." "Your treasure will help another man to become as rich as you." "I spent the night doing my calculations again, Andrée." "It is essential that I replace the electric resistance of my furnace." "I understand, father... but maybe you could change into second." "Yeah, you're right." "But understand me, Andrée..." "Lidium bisulphate only vitrifies at 7.000 degree." "Hang on to your right, father." "Stop in front of the church, please." "You don't come into town with me?" "You'll pick me up on your way back." "As you want." "Try to not forget me!" "Holy Catherine." "I come again to beg you to enlighten me." "A man asked to marry me." "He's good, intelligent and generous." "Reason pushes me to accept." "But when I ask my heart... it stays silent." "And I still ignore everything about love Holy Catherine!" "I didn't dare to talk about it to my confessor." "Oscar!" "Oscar!" "We have a wounded man with us!" "You picked this man on the road?" "Andrée found him in the church." "Why not taking him to the hospital?" "Because God entrusted us with him." "(Inaudible)" "(Inaudible)" "Don't get upset." "Where am I?" "At the de Maubreuil's castle." "In France?" "In Normandy." "What's your name?" "Andrée." "Now try to relax." "Your temperature finally got lower but... you've been rambling for hours." "What did I say while I was unconscious?" "But..." "But nothing." "Are you sure?" "You said things... senseless." "You spoke in english." "I didn't understand anything." "Here." "Drink this." "How do you feel?" "Much better since two minutes." "We never thought you would recover so fast." "It's because of the great care you dispensed to me." "It's mainly my daughter who took care of you." "I didn't know her this nurse vocation." "She's an extremely dedicated young woman." "I hope she will help you to get rid of your bad memories about France." "Why do you say that?" "It's certainly a hoodlum who attacked you in this church." "You think so?" "You remember nothing?" "No, I have some kind of amnesia." "Because of the concussion, no doubt." "This statue probably fell on me by accident." "Maybe..." "This area is built on chalk cliffs roughly ruined by the sea." "Landslides are frequent." "That's it!" "But it doesn't explain the vanishing of your wallet." "You had no money nor papers on you." "Evidently..." "I don't even know your name." "Dorgan." "Dorgan?" "Would you be related to this young physicist specialized in electric materials?" "Harry?" "Harry Dorgan." "He has just published a remarkable study in the Scientific Journal." "I'm his young brother, Joe." "I'm delighted to meet you." "You're also a man of science?" "Yes, I studied chemistry." "We're colleagues then, my dear Joe." "Really?" "What's bothering you, Cornelius?" "I just read the wire sent by Marguerite." "So?" "Baruch slipped out of her hands." "Yep." "He disappeared." "It doesn't matter." "I had great hopes in him, Fritz." "He belongs to the past now." "You know very well that Baruch is outdone around here." "Who knows, dear brother?" "Who knows?" "Here's my workshop." "Oscar calls it pompously my laboratory." "And Andrée usually calls it my shack." "Say... these stones are worth a fortune." "Yes." "Indeed I've succeeded in synthetizing most of the colored stones." "A work of almost no scientific interest." "My aim... is to succeed in synthetizing diamonds." "Which is scientifically much more challenging." "Have you any hope in succeeding?" "I think... that I'm almost near my goal." "This discovery will make you the richest man in the world." "On the contrary." "Beside I'm not interested by money." "I'm not sure to follow you on this subject, Mr de Maubreuil." "Look." "She's lovely." "It's my wife." "Andrée's mother." "A bitch, my dear Joe." "I was crazy in love with her." "I can imagine." "When you marry with a woman too lovely you must have time to keep an eye on her." "It's incompatible with science." "Of course." "My wife was extremely coquettish." "She quickly grew tired of the modest lifestyle imposed by my work." "She left you?" "For an ugly and mediocre man." "A rich man, my dear Joe!" "So rich he was able to buy her all the jewels she dreamed of." "It's a very sad story." "But it had the merit to show me the way of my duty." "How?" "This ruby, these emeralds, these diamonds..." "These dangerous crystals that make so many poor women go crazy!" "I swore to myself that I would make them harmless." "But how?" "Everyday acceptance." "Soon... these stones will be produced in quantities so vast... that they won't have any more value... than the rocks on the roads." "It's fantastic!" "Thus I will insure universal family stability." "It's my only goal." "None is more commendable." "Besides science must serve morality." "I believe so." "Listen." "If you think I can be helpful in any way in your work... it would be a true honor for me to be your assistant." "I accept wholeheartedly." "I must say..." "I didn't dare to ask you." "Bondonnat is still at it." "He makes such a racket with his experiments." "Who is Bondonnat?" "He's my neighbour." "A remarkable man, a thinker." "What's his discipline?" "Agronomy." "Come and I will show you Bondonnat's gardens." "His work is very far from yours." "It's not science which brought us together." "It's love." "Love?" "Paganot, Bondonnat's nephew." "So?" "He's Andrée's futur husband." "Since the dawn of times men have tried to tame the plant world as an operating colony." "Me, on the contrary, I try to have a dialogue with plants." "What is your purpose?" "A common purpose." "Me, Bondonnat, I give to my plants what is best for their growth." "In exchange they provide me with a guaranteed harvest." "Listening to you we have the feeling they do it only to please you." "No." "They do it simply to fill their part of the bargain." "As partners of good faith we have laid the groundwork of a fruitful collaboration." "You're too modest, Bondonnat." "Your personal contribution is the real engine of this collaboration." "Without your science plants would be useless." "Technicity is one thing but what counts is the spirit behind my work." "Anyway you must imagine that the soil of this garden covers a network of electrical resistances going through every root." "What for?" "To keep the ground at the same temperature all year long." "Plants are like us." "They're sometimes frisky." "A little comfort ... makes them feel good." "A second network... made of copper tubes this time provides them at fixed hour with the mineral salts they need." "A good health is always maintained by a regular and balanced diet." "Every Doctor will tell you the same." "But you won't be able to fix every mistake of nature." "Hail, drought, storm..." "Of course he will." "That's what he's doing right now." "Well, I must say that my work... is still experimental." "But it's very promising." "I'm certain that in a very short time you will rule the roost." "Cosine 33." "Correction 7B." "Yes." "Amplitude 89." "Strenght 25F." "Yes." "25F?" "25F." "Yes." "Cocine 34." "Correction 8B." "Corrected." "In fact, my weather canon is an extrapolation of the medieval anti-hail bombarda." "Meaning stirring up the atmospheric layers to modify the weather." "In this case, what's new about your invention?" "The powder envelopes have been replaced by electron charges." "Firepower is completely flexible and we can focus the effect on a specific point." "Bondonnat's assistants are pyrotechnicians in a way." "Roger Ravenel, a brilliant mathematician, my futur son-in-law." "Sir." "And my nephew." "Jacques Paganot." "Pleased to meet you." "Andrée's fiancé." "My cousin Paganot finds you very distant since a few days." "He told you so?" "No." "He's too proud to complain." "You know him." "So?" "He seems more worried than usual." "I think he even grew a few white hairs." "Of course, he's no more a young man." "You knew that before you promised to marry him." "I confirm." "And now... you still have the same feelings?" "Answer me frankly." "I gave him my word, Fréderique, and I'm bound by my oath." "Don't be silly, you don't love him!" "He is more worthy of love than many others." "He's frank and honest." "At war he behaved as a hero." "And it gives him the right to wear three medals on his buttonhole." "Don't mock him, Fréderique." "It's a right that he paid rather dearly." "Very dearly." "He will always embrace you with one arm." "Miss Fréderique!" "Miss Fréderique, it's me." "Hello, father Yvon." "Mr Bondonnat asked me to come at three o' clock." "My father is already in his garden." "We're going there ourselves." "But first you should put this casket in a cool place." "Father Yvon, it's very kind of you." "I know that Mr Bondonnat is a gourmet." "Go on, I will catch you on the way." "Father Yvon's lands are on this side of the cliff." "Code 101." "But the field is too tiny." "Sure, it's not the American Westside here." "Our target is a square of twenty something trees with pastures around that can't be harmed by a storm." "But what is your project exactly?" "We want to create a hole amongst the clouds, Mr Dorgan." "And if our calculations are not wrong rain will fall on the grass but not on the oat." "You give yourself a lot of trouble for little things." "The harvest to save is ridiculous." "Not for father Yvon, Mr Dorgan." "Oh, I see!" "You are some philanthropists!" "Not really." "The operation is not completely without interest for us." "It will allow us to test the preciseness of our canon." "Now that's a language I prefer." "It sounds more serious." "Come on, it's time to start." "Are you ready, gentlemen?" "Ravenel, are you ready?" "I'm ready, professor." "Beware!" "5,4,3,2,1..." "Fire!" "Bravo!" "Hurrah!" "We did it!" "I wanted to take you here." "Why?" "Because I like this place." "Me too." "I was certain you'd like it." "So you know my tastes?" "They can't be much different from mine." "How can you be so sure?" "I wondered about the circumstance of our meeting." "And so?" "At any point they're extraordinary." "Indeed." "It took the combination of many accidents." "Accidents like that don't exist, Joe." "I suspect something completely different." "The will of fate." "Really?" "I'm a very lonely man." "I do not willingly talk about me." "Me too." "I've always been used to stay silent." "By taste?" "By force of circumstances." "I was very young... when my mother left home." "Your father seems to love you very much." "I did not have that luck." "You know, my father... has always been lost in his own dreams." "Did he ever think about listening to me?" "I understand you." "Me, I've hated my childhood." "As soon as I was old enough to wear long trousers..." "I swore to take my revenge on life." "You come often in this island?" "It's my secret garden." "You're the first person..." "I let in." "No, Joe." "I can't." "Why?" "I'm already engaged." "Leave me alone." "Fate bound us together." "From now on... nothing can separate us." "Somebody home?" "Come on." "Not so loud!" "You will wake up our people." "I need some help to unload." "The crates are too heavy." "Mr de Maubreuil!" "What's this racket?" "Your resistances are here." "At last!" "I waited for them more than six months." "I had to make them built specially for me in England." "To what temperature will you push the furnace?" "We must reach to 7.000 degree." "Synthetization of diamond can be verified only at this warmth level." "Do you think the insulation of the furnace will hold?" "We won't catch a cold, that's for sure." "We can even end up dying by suffocation." "It won't stop me from trying the experiment." "Come on, Mr de Maubreuil, you have waited six months, you can wait a few more hours." "Why?" "Because... if we circle the furnace with bags full of gravel we will significantly reduce the room temperature." "Excellent idea!" "Oscar will do it for us." "Oscar!" "Oscar!" "Watch your manners Pistolet!" "If you keep on like this you'll end up herding cows." "I don't know what bugs him." "He only barks at you." "He probably don't like the perfume of my toilet water." "You know... he's only a country dog." "He doesn't know the good manners of city people." "Does he bark after Paganot?" "Never." "But it's different with Mr Paganot." "Why?" "This dog is smarter than he looks." "He has understood that he will become his mistress's husband." "And you, Oscar, what do you think of him?" "He's not a bad egg." "So, when are they marrying?" "If Mr Paganot had his say it would have already been done since a while." "So, it's Miss de Maubreuil balking?" "I didn't say that." "You didn't say the opposite neither." "Mr Paganot must leave soon to settle in Paris." "It's not a good reason." "Miss Andrée says that she doesn't feel like abandoning her father." "Of course." "I already filled half of the dump truck." "Is that enough?" "No, we need the other half." "I have other chores to do." "I must see father Yvon to get some fish for dinner." "Dig up." "I'll take care myself of the dinner." "Cigarette, father Yvon?" "I would rather have a chew." "Sorry." "Thanks all the same." "I'll smoke it after dinner." "Is this the boat you use to fish?" "Yep." "It's a bit light when there's bad weather." "Not at all." "It holds the sea as well as a big boat." "Even if I hoist all the sail." "Could you cross the channel with that?" "Of course." "I did it more than once." "There, in England, lace is twice cheaper than here." "You see what I mean?" "And the customs officers?" "After all these years I know the hours of their rounds by heart." "I see that you're a smart guy, father Yvon." "If you want to make a gift to Miss de Maubreuil... think about me." "See you very soon father Yvon." "So?" "It's him?" "There's no doubt." "It's the american." "Mylord!" "What are you doing here?" "I'm on duty." "What do you want with me you two?" "We've been asked to give you this convocation." "Is this a joke?" "Her majesty's services don't authorize any joke." "You must be present in front of the tramps court tomorrow at midnight." "What am I accused of?" "Illegal absence." "No one is allowed to leave the brotherhood without authorization." "What could happen?" "At best an eye enucleation." "At worst amputation of a foot." "And if I am not present in front of the court?" "All the tramps and bums in France will be launched at your heels." "With the order to stalk you and to execute the sentence pronounced against you." "In these cases the sentence is terrible!" "Now, you're warned." "So long, american." "The experiment I'll try tonight with Joe may be very noisy." "So it would be better if no one sleeps in the castle this night." "Is this the true reason, father?" "Are you sure there is no danger with your experiment?" "Except of course to set fire to the castle!" "I already prepared buckets of water, sir." "With your permission I could serve you as a fire watch." "Just leave us alone, Oscar." "I don't want to be distracted when I work." "You will go with Andrée." "You will sleep at Bondonnat's." "We'd better go there right now." "I think these gentlemen are in a hurry to get to work." "You have the habit of getting up late." "I don't know if I'll see you again." "What?" "You're leaving?" "Yes." "I promised your father I would assist him with his experiment... but when it's finished I have nothing more to do here." "But, father!" "I have no right to be selfish." "I can't hold Joe here any longer." "Besides there are many other things to see in Europe." "Don't you agree, Paganot?" "It's certainly a wise decision." "I will never forget how warmly you greeted me in your home." "Believe me, Andrée, I will never forget." "The best goodbyes are those which are not pronounced." "To work, Joe." "You're very pale, Andrée." "You must not worry about your father." "He knows what he's doing." "Come on, let's go." "6.000 degree!" "Block the window or fresh air will cool the furnace!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "Block the window!" "It's not hot enough!" "What's wrong with you?" "What's the temperature?" "6.300 degrees." "It's time to give full power!" "6.700 degrees!" "I don't know if I will have the strenght to go to the end." "You must Mr de Maubreuil, you must!" "I love you." "I beg you not to leave." "What are you doing up at this hour?" "Don't worry." "Just tell me where Oscar is sleeping." "In the glass house." "Why?" "6.900 degrees!" "7.000 degrees!" "We did it!" "Come back!" "(Inaudible)" "The diamonds!" "The diamonds!" "It's their end!" "Oscar, it's me." "Come on, wake up!" "Something bad happened?" "Not yet but I'm worried." "Take this message discretly to Mr Dorgan at the laboratory." "You will tell me how my father takes the news." "You will soon have the answer." "At last... we're going to have the answer!" "Be my guest." "I won't have the strenght to break the crucibles." "What a wonder!" "I never saw diamonds so pure!" "Finally it's the end of the reign of this junk!" "The blue diamond." "One of the most beautiful." "From now on we can use them to pave the streets." "Children will use them to shoot marbles." "Each of them is worth a fortune!" "Industrial manufacturing will reduce their value to one percent per ton." "The diamond mythology is over!" "Stop that!" "Did you become suddenly crazy?" "Don't you get it, Joe?" "They're worthless now!" "Come back to your senses, de Maubreuil!" "Money is everything!" "To be rich you will just have to limit the production for a time." "Never!" "Tomorrow I'll send the results of my discovery to all newspapers." "But nobody will believe you!" "I wrote in this notebook all the steps of the manufacturing process." "Give me this notebook!" "It's useless." "You will read everything tomorrow in the papers." "It's stupid!" "Give me this notebook!" "What will you do with it?" "I will benefit the science." "How?" "Give me a good reason." "A single good reason and my invention is yours." "Do you know Cornélius Kramm?" "He's a biologist, I think." "A great scientist!" "With these stones I will back up his researchs." "What's the purpose of his researchs?" "Reaching the harmonious balance of the species." "A selective redefinition of humanity." "We'll put order back on Earth by correcting God's mistakes!" "But it's... it's horrible!" "Give me this notebook!" "Never!" "What is it?" "It's me, Oscar, Mr Dorgan." "A moment." "Father Yvon!" "Father Yvon!" "A tragedy happened at the manor!" "Mr de Maubreuil?" "His daughter Andrée!" "We can save her with a medicine only sold in England." "It's high tide and we have the wind with us." "We'll be there before noon." "Quick!" "Come on, Andrée, what's wrong with you?" "I don't know." "I have a premonition." "Oscar didn't come back." "Your father probably needs him." "No." "I'm sure something terrible happened." "I gave a sedative to Miss de Maubreuil to get her to sleep." "Her despair was a sore sight." "Thank you Doctor." "As for you, my boy..." "You have received a nasty blow on the head." "I'm going to put you some arnica tincture." "Later Doctor." "First you have to save my dog." "Hey, my papers are not in order so make it snappy before the customs fall on us." "Nobody must know that I'm in England." "Father..." "I accuse myself... as the sole responsible of your death." "It's in my affection that the Lord has punished me." "Today... this american horrifies me." "But I recovered." "My heart will experience no more failures." "Father..." "I swear I will do everything to avenge you." "May God help me to keep my promise." "Amen." "A little coin for the love of God." "A little coin to eat some bread." "Here's for you, my dear friend." "Thanks." "A service deserves another." "With my congratulations, sir." "653a 00:44:42,397 -- 00:44:47,886 Murder in Normandy." "Baruch Jorgell, the murderer son of a billionaire." "You asked to see me, Mr Jorgell." "Sit down." "It's a french newspaper." "I received it in the mail this morning." "Not content enough to have dishonored my name he also tries to sully yours... by impersonating your brother Joe." "It is a sham that he could not hide for long." "Joe is finally back from Texas after a two years absence." "Did he find oil?" "Enough to start his own company." "The two sons of my old opponent have brilliantly succeeded... when mine made a name for himself in the crime business." "Mr Jorgell, as long as Baruch has not been tried in court he must be considered innocent." "I don't need the lawyers'opinion to condemn him." "He's an evil beast." "He must be killed without mercy." "Baruch is sick, father." "He is irresponsible." "Nonsense." "You can't hide the truth, father." "Mental illness must be cured, not condemned." "Another little wonder we'll have to let go." "You found a buyer?" "Yes, a rich banker in Rio." "I'll have to leave for a few days." "Before you leave verify if the necessary has been done for Baruch." "I told you I will." "I'm worried about him." "He's a boy without experience." "If he tries to sell these diamonds in London... he will be caught." "Would it worry you that much?" "If it's due to your negligence, Fritz," "I will never forgive you." "You have not settled your bill yet, Mr Smith." "You owe me a month's rent now." "I will find a way, Mrs Simpson." "Do you have mail for me?" "Yes." "I would be very sad to have to call up on the police." "I see you have received good news." "Excellent news, Miss Simpson." "I'll be able to pay my bill soon." "Good." "The police investigation is staling." "As for the many amateur sleuths who offered to help us I'm afraid they're just a bunch of crankies." "It doesn't matter." "We must try everything to find a lead to the murderer." "This horrible case undermines you, Andrée." "Try to forget it a little." "How can I?" "Try to think about something else." "To find a new purpose." "For instance..." "Why waiting any longer to get married?" "Stop it, Jacques." "I will marry you only when my fater's murderer has been caught." "Damn!" "You ruined my recording with your prattle!" "What kind of experiment is this?" "Mr Bondonnat wants us to decipher the language of plants." "They speak?" "To tell the truth... very, very faintly." "Even so, we have recorded the nuptial song of jasmine, the complaint of a laurel whose bough had been broken inadvertently and the prayer of a peach-tree begging to be picked." "You're serious?" "Absolutely." "My father had the same device." "Really?" "I never saw it in your home." "It was in his laboratory." "The furnace was set-up with an insulated microphone." "What for?" "When tetanizing... the materials made creaks that informed my father about the progress of his work." "But then... this microphone has also recorded the conversations." "Probably." "Mr de Maubreuil had insulated the recorder to shelter it from vibrations." "But this box was probably not thick enough to protect it from the heat." "Yep." "The cylinder is badly damaged." "I think it's useless to listen to it." "Let's try, Jacques." "What's the point?" "It could only be painful for you." "It doesn't matter." "I want to hear my father's voice for the last time." "It's useless to continue." "It's inaudible." "Listen!" "Give me a good reason and my invention is yours." "Do you know Cornélius..." "What does he say then?" "We'll never know." "The last grooves have melted." "Who is this Cornélius?" "Go figure!" "It's just a first name." "There're probably a few thousands Cornelius." "But it's the beginning of a lead!" "The only one we have." "Negro-African origin." "Sexe male." "Around 25 years old." "Duration of the operation :" "six hours and thirty minutes." "Of course, it's only a display item." "It's ridiculous!" "What benefit can we gain from him?" "Simple stylistic exercise." "I had fun doing it..." "Well, it's time to get serious." "But I already told you my plan." "Yes." "I can't do anything before Baruch Jorgell comes back." "Let's get patient then." "Crossing the Atlantic takes time." "We're going to reach land very soon."
