"The prison scenes in the following film are pure fiction, so they should not be considered representative of scenes that may have happened in a penitentiary establishment." "EVERYBODY WANTS TO KILL ME" "...weather-resistant, the delicate design makes it the finest tie made." "...but wait, I came today to give you all a gift!" "For 1000 francs, a paltry 1000 franc note, you can have the panoply of the elegant man." "The regatta of fine menswear reversible bow-tie for garden parties and evening wear" "You'll have to excuse me, a rival representative approaches," "However, this is just an 'au revoir' my brothers..." "You promised not to come here Tony." "You know my boss doesn't like personal visits." " What is it Isabelle?" " You see?" "Nothing sir, nothing." "What a jerk..." "Tell me miss, how much are these?" "The long ones?" " These others are too open." " 120 francs each." "But these at 80 should hold up nicely..." "Are you crazy?" "Well then, give me half a dozen long ones." "I came to warn you, we're dining with Cyril tonight." "Since I speak of him, it's time that you met." " Of course." " We'll go to Snack in Place Fortia." "Dress nice, I want you to make a good impression." "You're ashamed of me?" " Could you put them in a plexiglass box?" "You have those?" " Certainly sir." "6 roses at 120, 720 plus a carnation, 60 francs." "720 for the roses and 60 for the carnation." "Here's 800." "Keep the change." "I'll be at the Snack at quarter to 8, don't be late." " Miss." " Sir." " Am I late?" " No, no." "Cyril isn't here yet." "Cyril is like a brother, and if I do well in life it'll be because of him." " Did your boss complain?" " You got me in trouble again." "Oh Isabelle, am I your fiancé or a stranger?" " I like it here." " And the food is very good." "Three place settings, we're waiting for a friend." "What does your friend Cyril do?" "Cyril?" "He's, uh, a tourist guide." "What's that?" "He guides visitors, offers advice and information." "He's like a travel agency, a business start-up, if you prefer." "Good evening." "Cyril my friend, Isabelle my fiancée." " Going O.K.?" " I'm doing fine." "Your fiancée has a lovely name." "Isabelle." "Sounds like "belle Isa"." "In my country, "Isa" is a good omen." "It brings good luck." "Isabelle, a voice in the night that rejects all darkness" "A little proverb." "You'll become Isa The Rich, you're already Isa The Beautiful." "Seems I'm many things, but as for the fortune..." "Oh, it could happen at any time!" "What do you think, Tony?" " Question of luck." " Yeah." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "We often joke about fortune, about luck." "To encourage it to visit." " I need to make a phone call." " To whom?" "Home." "To tell them I won't be there for supper." "Tell your mother I'll see her as soon as I'm established." "That could be a while!" "You never know." "Go on and tell your mother." " Are you having dessert?" " A fruit." "An orange!" "I swear she's not like the others Cyril, and I know what I'm talking about here." "But she tells me to wait, ...so I wait." "Pretty as she is, that must be tough." " And our trip might be a few months..." " 10, 12, 15..." "Coffee." " Two coffees." " And an orange for the lady." "So odds are she might not be there when I return?" "Women need your presence, or else some compelling memory." "When the man is not around, she forgets quickly." "Is our thing happening soon?" "Tonight, maybe." "So go home, I need to be able to contact you." " Are you afraid?" " No." "It's not that." "I wanted to tell you..." "Could you lend me some money?" "If nothing happens tonight, tomorrow's Sunday, I'd like to take Isabelle to the countryside." "Already broke?" "I lent you 50,000 less than a week ago." "Well sorry, but thinking about our score, I got a bit out of hand." "I wanted to taste good things, beforehand." "With me the good things, it's afterwards I'll enjoy them." " This girl?" "Is your heart set?" " Very much so." "Then you know what you need to do." "Make sure it's before my phone call." "I told her I'd be home after the movie." "The 3 of us could go." " I don't know if Cyril..." " No, unfortunately not tonight." "Isabelle, I've known Tony even longer than you have." "He's a very nice boy who loves you very deeply." "You must never cause him sadness." "Me?" "Hurt Tony?" "We can cause sadness without realizing it." "If a boy loves a girl, and a girl loves the boy... anything can be asked, and nothing can be refused." "Nothing." " Do I make you sad?" " Yes." " Why?" " Come." " No, no, Tony." " But just to listen to a record." "Not this late at night." "See?" "You started again." "Don't you trust me?" "Sure I trust you, just not this late at night." " I don't see how the hour matters." " I do." "I'd rather go to the movies." "Well then?" "At the movies I do many things to you, I kiss you..." "Be quiet!" "That's not the same." "Isabelle, tonight I expect a phone call that could make me rich by tomorrow." " You know what I'd do tomorrow?" " No." "Well, all dressed up, I'd go ring at your mother's doorbell." "Are you serious this time?" "Of course, since that's the reason I'm doing this thing." "Come up, we'll make some music while we wait." "I now understand what Cyril meant, "don't cause Tony any sadness."" "What business is it of his?" "If you don't want to that's fine." "Forcing you isn't my style." "You can enjoy going out with me, without liking me in other ways." "It's no reason for dramatics." "Be nice Tony, let me leave." "If you want to leave, then leave." "You're free." " You don't resent me?" " Of course not." " We can see each other tomorrow." " Yes." " Same time?" " Yes." " Good night." " Good night." " Stop it." " I'm saying good night." " Don't start up again." " Can't I say good night?" "Tony." "Yes?" "I'm on my way." "What is it?" " It's time!" "It's happening!" " What?" "Haw!" "I can't explain!" "You wouldn't understand, but with some luck, it's the jackpot!" "With some luck and confidence." " Leaving me already?" " No!" "I'm not leaving you!" " I'll be back, right back!" " But when?" "I'll be back." "Trust me, that's all." "With some luck...here, take this, I won't need it anymore." "You'll take care of the studio, like if we were married." "And pay the cleaning lady, her name's Jeanne." "You'll see, she's nice, she's tall, not overly tall...but tall." "She cleans 3 times a week, pay her and say I'm on a trip, and with the rest, you'll buy some dresses, hats, shoes..." "You must be pretty Isa, because when I come back, I'll be full of money" "And then, I'll go see your mother." "Is that alright?" "You know, Isa..." "I love you more than before." "Then don't go Tony." "Stay." "I can't." "They're waiting for me." " Put on your gloves Tony." " I have them." "I hope none of you is armed." "I have nothing." " Luigi." " Yeah?" " Search Herman." " Don't bother." " Herman?" " Search Luigi." "Don't bother." " I brought one just in case." " In what case?" "Quiet, professor." "What do these guns mean?" "Are you idiots or afraid?" "We said no guns, so?" "You don't even know how to use them." "Alright." "Our lady client has a train at 23h10." "The chauffeur was summoned for 22h25 in front of the house." "This lady comes out, and gets into the car." "It's now 22h30." "The car gets to the meeting point in exactly 6 minutes." "So the operation starts at precisely 22h36." "To avoid possible nervousness, we'll arrive at 22h30." " Is everyone O.K.?" " Yes." " I'm fine." " Yes." "I need to piss." "We're 10 minutes away from the meet." "It's exactly 22h15." "We have 5 minutes to review." "Let's begin." "I fall across the road with my bicycle." " The car stops." " What if it doesn't?" "It'll stop." "The chauffeur gets out to see if the cyclist is injured." "Or dead." "I stay still." " The chauffeur bends down over Tony..." " I come from the ditch and smack him." "I reason with the lady, and confiscate the briefcase." " During this, I've flattened the car tires." " With what?" "This." "I arrive in reverse, and we clear out quickly." "If the chauffeur doesn't come out?" "The road is too narrow to pass..." "without crushing Tony." "So he'll get out." "What if he drives over Tony?" "Get going." "This is awful." "My bladder aches." "I'm holding it in so much, it'll make me cry." "I was nuts to listen to Cyril." "Why am I leading this wagon train?" " What do you think?" " I'd say I think you're afraid." "Sure I'm afraid." "When I remember there's a sweet woman at home in my bed." " Go back then, if you don't like us." " I'm the cyclist." "I can't leave." "If I wasn't the cyclist..." "And you're not afraid?" "I am, but don't dwell on it." " I think of the future." " Well I think of the present." "If the chauffeur doesn't see me, he'll crush my skull." "That would be a shame." "I can't hold it Herman." "I swear." "Think I have time?" " Can't you go lying down?" " Well no!" "Let's hope the dumb chauffeur shows up." "For the fancy clients they're generally careful and meticulous." "There they are!" "That's not it." "Is it coming or not?" "I hate this!" "Breathe." "Smell the country air, it's healthy." "Listen..." "There it is!" "Don't be afraid madam." "Where are your jewels?" " Don't kill me!" " Very good." "You're very cooperative." "Word of advice:" "If bullets frighten you, don't move for 10 minutes." " It's over, let's go!" " Wait!" "There's 3 more left!" " No time to be a perfectionist!" " Wait!" "Wait!" " Everyone did their job nicely." " Do we open the case?" "Not yet." "I sure screwed up on those tires!" "I never thought rubber was so tough!" "Well, now it's over." " No, it's not over." " That's true, we're not done yet." "Now we get creative." "In 7 minutes this job will make history." "History?" "Who cares about history?" "We should divide the jewels and split up." "Every man to himself, and God for all." "Luigi has great ideas." "Hey Cyril?" "If we kill him, we'll be safer, no?" "Enough Mr. Intellectual." "Open the case instead, it could be empty." "A sandwich and a nightgown." "You never know with rich people." "They're depraved." " I don't hear anything!" " I don't want to hear, I wan't to see!" "And touch, even!" "Go ahead Gaston, pop the lock." " Oh the bitch!" " Aww yeah!" "Woohoo!" "You need to see this, Cyril!" "Come." "Hiya, kid." " Are Cyril and Herman here?" " Tonight not yet." "See this key?" "Put it in the register, and if any of us asks, give it to us." "You gang of playboys!" "You got a shack to bring over young ladies?" "One day each!" "I like how you understand us, you're really fantastic!" "You don't miss much!" "I'm off to Marius', if the guys show up, tell them to wait for me." " One for the road?" " Sorry, I can't." "Pastis Distillery" "Accounting" "Administration" "Tasting Room" "There he is." "Get started!" "That's it." "They'll be here in a few minutes." " It's back again." "Maybe there's time?" "In the yard?" " Stay here." "Soon you'll just be a drunk who broke in for a few shots." " What if they shoot us?" " Nobody shoots drunks." "When we planned this it looked simple:" "Jewels on one side and cops far away." "Now that I've seen the jewels, it seems stupid to count on cops for an alibi." "It's precisely them who will save you." "It wasn't them!" "Seems like we need a reason to celebrate." "Today's my lucky day!" "Why do you say that?" "Something happy occurred today." "Eh Cyril?" "Don't we need some reason?" "It's true." "He had a great happiness today." "One he might not even deserve." "What happiness?" "The kind that happens between a boy and a girl." "That's great!" "Me too!" "It happened about..." "Alright, Herman!" "Alright!" "So Tony?" "Couldn't you have told me earlier?" "I was worried for nothing!" "They're here." "Give it up!" "Hands in the air!" "Go ahead." "What a stench in here!" "No, no, that tickles!" "Let's go!" "We were thirsty!" " No locks were broken, the safe is intact." " Let's go." "Shit!" "Help me!" "Don't let me die here!" "That's what you get for being a drunk!" "Hello." "What?" "Are you sure?" "On the corniche?" "3 men?" " Go on Herman, tell the policeman..." " Enough over there!" "I can hear you." "Right away?" "Yes, yes." "Roadblocks?" "Alright." "The materiel is always ready." "Understood." "Alright." "500 million hold-up on the corniche." "Set up full roadblocks on 559." "Put these bums in the cage!" "You like to get drunk, you pigs?" "You'll pay the price!" "Breaking and entering, vandalism, theft, you'll get 2 years at least!" "What did I tell you?" "I'm going to be sick." "...having deliberated, condemn Luigi Falcolli to 1 year and fine of 10,000." "Karl Herman: 1 year and a fine of 10,000." "Gaston Berlioux: 1 year and a fine of 10,000." "Antoine Lefebure: 1 year and a fine of 10,000." "Cyril Glad: 1 year and a fine of 10,000." "Turn around." " Strip." " Sorry?" "I said strip!" " Told you this was a bad idea." " Shut up." "Turn around." "Follow me." "Herman's friend brought us, to do a bit of drinking." "He'd been a night watchman at the pastis distillery." "We were all set." "Mind you, if we'd stopped at 2-3 drinks, nothing would have happened." "Nobody would have known." "Not at all, we drank like pigs!" "We got roped into a tasting session." "It was warm, and Herman kept opening bottles." "Worst is, we had the money to go drink elsewhere." "We had money, but we just had to go drink there." "Eh Herman?" "A bit of pastis and we're outlaws!" "The judge insisted we came to rob the place!" "We didn't know, we're no professionals." "We just went to toast the distiller." "Pastis...after that how can you appreciate a noble vintage..." "And you drank innocently only 3m from a safe full of money!" "My compliments, you're fine upstanding citizens." "But I'm telling you we weren't there to steal!" "Just to drink some pastis!" "It's pretty funny!" "WARDEN" "Button your collars!" "You'll be treated fairly here, it's my method, but I warn you that can change." "If you're quiet, you won't have trouble." "But no funny stuff, I'll stop it right away, understood?" " Gaston Berlioux." " That's me." "I see you were a teacher." "I'll put you in accounting." " If I may ask a favor..." " Already?" "No, I'd prefer manual work." " Is there room in crafts?" " There always is, Mr. Warden." " Cyril Glad?" " Yes sir." " What is your actual profession?" " Tourist guide, sir." " Tourist guide?" " Yes sir." " Yes, Warden sir!" " Yes, Warden sir." "I'll put you in accounting, it's a post of trust, I hope you understand?" " I believe so, Mr. Warden." " Do not believe, but understand." "I give my trust, but take it away at the first instance." "No side business, I'm warning you." " Antoine Lefebure." " That's me, Mr. Warden." " Merchant...what do we need?" " A barber, sir." " So to the barber's..." " Mr. Warden?" "What?" "You shave every morning?" "You can shave others." " Karl Herman." " That's me." "Look at me when I question you." " Night watchman?" " Yes." "And Luigi Falcolli." "Barman." " Yes sir." " Pardon?" " Yes Mr. Warden!" "These two to crafts." "You are free to go, I mean, take them away." "Can't you be more careful?" "!" "I slipped I swear it!" "Cyril Glad?" "Fernand Despernes." "I'm the accountant." "18 months left for fraud." " Happy to know you." " Same here." "I saw your file, you seem less stupid than your friends." "Thanks." "You'll do fine as my assistant." " Comfortable here?" " Sure." " Is this your bed?" " Yes." "I'll have it restuffed." "Since you have to do the time, might as well sleep comfortably." "You'll do the cafeteria, I'll show you." "It's simple accounting." " Sorry, I cut you." " What do I care?" "Don't shake!" "Go boldly, I'm not fragile." " It's not bad for a start." " Ha!" "Imagine him at the Battle of... 150 went out, 6 came back." "2 hours fighting at bayonnets, oh man!" "That was bloody!" "So after that, you know..." "Anything you do makes me laugh." "Careful with that one, he's the house snitch." "Funny we can't trust anyone here." " That's why I work alone." " It's much safer." "The down side is missing out on bigger jobs that need extra help." "For example, the big hold-up..." "The hold-up on the corniche." "The 500 million job." "I had the best chance to do it." " What's is it?" " Nothing." "Imagine us with 500 million." " That's money." " It's reason to be impressed." "Go ahead." "I was maitre d'hotel at Madame LeRoy-Pata's for 3 months." "A solid fortune, copper and Bolivian oil." "Believe me, I watched those pretty devils." "Never out of my sight, their little girl either." " Must have thought of it all the time." " I left so as to not go crazy." "Empty-handed?" "I managed to break my wrist on the dog's jewelled broach." " Still, it was worth 25,000." " That's unlucky." "Worst is, I know the guys who got the 500 million." "What's wrong?" "Know this one?" "No!" "But we're surprised you do." " Of course." " Reading the papers, I knew it was them." "That hold-up was signed." "Why?" "Is a hold-up recognizable?" "This one needed 4, not one more or less." "The cyclist is surely Antonetti, the old acrobat." "At the Cadillac I see the Sarla brothers." "With Theodore the captain behind the wheel." "Have they been arrested?" "Arrest Theodore's gang?" "When that day comes, cops can expect to run a marathon." "Those guys are champions, not the kind who get busted in a pastis distillery." "No offense intended." " Any beards to shave?" "Haircuts?" " No, nothing." "And Camus?" "The one whose wife left him?" "He calmed down?" "Not at all Mr. Warden, he's planning carnage upon his release." "He wants to kill the woman and her lover." "I don't ask for predictions upon release, I couldn't care less." "Just details on what goes on in this prison." "Any news on Dalmino?" "He was moved to a new cell." "His little Roland is all desperate." "I think they should stay separated." "If not they might recruit for... the brotherhood." "Brotherhood?" "Ah yes." "Keep an eye out." "The new accountant?" "A good choice." "Adaptible and intelligent." "I think he's resolved to fly straight." " Is that all?" " That's all, Mr. Warden." "Alright." "If you need my services...don't be shy." "I'll keep it in mind." "Isabelle." "Oh Tony." "Well." "You two don't talk much." "If I mention it, it's to warn you." "Listen!" "Don't ask for 5 more minutes later on, I'm just not allowed!" "Not at all allowed!" "I'm not the Minister!" "Not the Minister...unfortunately." "So you have nothing to say to each other?" "Since I've been doing visits, I've never seen people like you." "Even a deaf-mute we had once wouldn't stop gesticulating!" "The warden was furious, we couldn't tell if their converstion was permitted!" "Heh, a deaf-mute!" "Careful, it'll be time soon!" "Come on, hurry up!" "Don't be awkward!" "What a situation!" "Dear Tony, I couldn't talk to you." "That awful place, that guard with a face like Tartuffe, and you in those ridiculous clothes." "I didn't recognize you." "It was too sad, and lamentable." "I ask myself why you did it, and your friend Cyril who seemed so balanced." "It's incomprehensible." "I prefer never to set foot in that forsaken prison." "As for marrying a convict, I think, Tony, you can understand..." "You know how many beards I shaved today?" "57." "And you?" "Stop that, you'll learn that silliness by heart." "Here..." "Hey." "Listen instead to what Frangine wrote:" "6 months without you, my sweety..." "Going O.K.?" "I heard you are an ace with a mop." "Sure am." "But why hasn't all that shining led to diamonds?" "It's Herman!" "He fell from the 2nd floor!" "Move along!" "Faster!" "Are you deaf!" "A prisoner just killed himself!" "He jumped from the 2nd floor!" " Why suicide?" "Maybe he fell!" " That's impossible Mr. Warden." " Oh, it's little Camus?" " No, his name was Herman." "He'd been here for 3 months." " Are you sure he's dead?" " His skull is cracked." "Tell the social worker to call the doctor." "Give me headquarters, it's urgent." "Here, look at my new shoes!" "Hello?" "Yes." " Think they're pretty?" " Yes, I'll stay on the line." " A prisoner jumped from the 2nd floor." " Is he hurt?" " Hello?" "Yes?" " So?" "Do you like them?" " I bought them for you." " But he's dead!" " What?" "he's dead?" " It'll make the news...they're very nice." "You always dress well..." "Hello?" " Give me a second dearest..." " It's always the same!" "But darling...hello Mr. Director?" "I have a small problem A prisoner slipped." "The doctor will bring the body to the hospital morgue." "Yes, and the death certificate." "On my end, I should notify the family." "You'll handle it?" "Yes sir, I prefer it." "I thank you." "My regards." "Sir, it's shower day." "Well give your showers!" "Let them wash, it'll distract them!" "We won't change rules because a drunk fell over a bannister!" "Prison rules are 365 days a year, 100 years per century, understood?" "What are you waiting for?" "Go on!" "Wait." "Prepare a report in triplicate on the accident." " Me, sir?" " Of course, you we're on guard, no?" "I don't care!" "Have the body brought to the door." "I don't want trouble!" "From now on, I want total watch over all prisoners!" "No problems, understand!" "Consider yourself warned!" " So...suicide is prohibited?" " Exactly!" "Suicide prohibited!" "I can't understand why Herman did that." "Maybe he was depressed but could hide it well." " It's sort of funny..." " I don't think so." " Maybe he couldn't stand prison bars." " I could never find courage to do that." "Me neither." "Life is too short." "Hurry up over there!" "Now we're only 4 for the split." "Maybe we could give the share to his wife?" " You're talking about Herman?" " Yes, giving a cut to his widow." " I agree." " No, that would be..." " You were saying?" " That would get us noticed." "How can we explain where all that money comes from?" "It's your choice, but think about it." " We must think." " He may be right." " To think that fool Herman jumped..." " It's not your fault." "Sure, but I'll have a second blame on my record." "The hooligan!" " Who is a hooligan?" "Your bosses?" " No, no, the convict." "More discipline and we have mutiny or they try to escape," "Treat them humanly and they poison you another way." "What a whorehouse!" "Oh Paul, watch yourself!" "You talk almost as badly as your prisoners!" "Sorry, dear." "Not going to bed?" "No, I'm teaching Tank." "He's on guard tonight." "Is the Tank improving?" "He already knows as much as I do." "But he doesn't know that." " Let's go." " Don't forget the booklet." "Damn, I'm getting jealous." "What can she be up to?" "What does she do all day?" "And at night?" "Under the light of the silver moon, the Countess went to her rendez-vous." "It was, for her, the rendez-vous of love." "And, in her quivering flesh..." " "Flesh", one "s"." " Oh, right." "I won't make that mistake again." " That's very beautiful." " I agree completely." "I don't get you guys." "All your knowledge and you end up inside here." "If I had your education..." "Don't stand by the window, come back over here." "I could have been a bailiff, or an economist." " Maybe even a warden." " Possibly." " You think I'll pass the test this year?" " It's a sure thing." " You can't fail." " As a sergeant, the pay goes up right away." "I retire with 2 more points." "That's no small thing." " With 4 kids, that counts." " I know it does." " So." "In her quivering flesh..." " ...was brought forth an emotion, up to that point, never experienced." " Going good?" " Not bad." " I didn't see the third." "Where is he?" " How should I know?" " What's his name?" " Gaston Berlioux." "Guard!" "Guard!" "I'm missing one!" " What?" "Who?" " Gaston Berlioux!" "Everyone to the cells!" "Bed count!" "Bed count!" "Stop, I found him!" "I'll go tell the warden." "Another suicide?" "That's the 2nd in 6 months." "Warden, come quick!" "A prisoner hung himself in the showers." " But it's not shower day!" " No, but he still hung himself." " Ah!" "You mean little Camus?" " No, Mr. Warden, Gaston Berlioux." "Now it's hanging!" "Are you doing this on purpose?" "A suicide leaves you cold?" "No sir, once suicide starts in a prison, it's exactly like an epidemic." "Of course the epidemic is in my institution, 2 suicides in 6 months!" "In Grenoble, I once saw 7 suicides in 7 days." "Should I expect 2 or 3 more?" "2 or 3?" "I wouldn't think so Mr. Warden." " He was a quiet guy." " Never a word, never a hassle." "Come on, he must have been saving himself for the finale." "Because this is a pretty big hassle." "He was in Herman's gang?" "The pastis affair?" "Funny coincidence." " Metal wire?" " We should take him down." " Of course, we won't leave him there." " Sorry if I seemed pushy." " Where would he have found wire?" " In crafts, maybe." "Well then, take him down" "No details to anyone about this." "Understood?" "I don't want any problems!" "Well, I'll unhook him." "I never like doing these jobs." "Need a hand?" "I won't say no." "If he'd done it with rope I'd give you a piece." " They say it brings good luck." " When it's a real hanged man, yes." " What do you mean?" " It only works if he did it himself." "Say again?" "Hanged men who didn't hang themselves, are hanged men who were hanged." "Get it?" " You're saying that..." " Yeah." "And these?" "They were made by Luigi Falcolli, the work is not as good." "Well then, thank you." "There were no signs, Mr. Warden." "He was a balanced guy, an intellectual." "Not like Herman." "Just yesterday, while walking, he said:" ""We must adapt philosophy to each event."" "Philosophy." " Incomprehensible." " Yes, it's incomprehensible." " The reason that it's incomprehensible..." " Is because we don't understand." "You don't understand?" "To be honest, I thought as much." "Back to your cells." "Falcolli!" "Stay." "Wait for him outside, Bricart." "What is this?" " I don't know." " Why don't you know?" " Metal wire." " So why say you don't know?" " I don't know why I say it." " That's what I ask myself." "Do you at least know how Berlioux died?" "Well sure, he..." "With what?" " I don't know." " With this." " Who uses metal wire in crafts?" " Everyone." " Everyone?" "Really?" " Yes." " And who gives it to you?" " The supply guard." " So anyone can do what he wants with it?" " I guess." "Hang himself?" "Or hang a friend?" "That's all." "Falcolli." "I know you never know anything." "But if you have an idea about metal wires, an intuition, ask to see me, I'm always willing to listen." "The crime of complicity, it exists, and it's costly." "Go on." "Bricart, take him back." "What is he up to?" "There he is." "That's some face." "Things I don't like are happening." "The warden thinks I had something to do with Gaston's death." "The warden is an idiot, and so are you." "Enough!" "Don't try to push me." "It doesn't work." "What wrong?" "Are you sick?" "Listen." "How they died I don't know." "What the warden thinks, I don't care!" "But if I feel danger, or anything strange, I'll tell the warden everything!" " What everything?" " Our whole affair!" "That's the best way to get 20 years." "Better 20 years, than what those 2 others got." " What do you think?" " What should I think?" "THIRD SUICIDE AT ST." "PIERRE PRISON" "No!" "No!" "You shouldn't even be here!" "Seeing a prisoner today!" "It's not even a vistor's day!" "And with what's been going on?" "Have you read the morning papers?" "That's why I came here." " Ah wait, I know you." "You're here for Antoine Lefebure?" " Yes, for Tony." "I remember, you're the one who doesn't speak when it's time to speak." "Antoine Lefebure..." "You can't see him." " He's not..." " No, no, it wasn't him." "It was his friend, an Italian named Falcolli." " And...want to know what I think?" " Yes." "There was a crime." "With a crime, a criminal." "With a criminal, he kills." "I've said too much, understand?" "I must see Tony." "Let me in Sergeant." "Why call me Sergeant?" "Do I look like a Sergeant?" "Stay right here." " Understand?" " Understood, Mr. Warden." " What is it?" " Mr. Warden..." " Again?" "!" " No, nothing this morning." "It's calm." "I asked you to keep your ears open, but in my office it's not needed." "You did well." "Send her to me in 5 minutes." "How are you this morning?" "Fine, thanks." " What's on your mind?" " Nothing, leave me alone." "So I'm the one who knocked off Herman, and Gaston, and Luigi?" "Say so, since that's what you're thinking!" "I suppose you'd like my opinion..." "There's a murderer in this prison." "And he's good at what he does." " Really Tony?" "Aren't you a bit crazy?" " Leave it." "Each believes what they want to." "Do you know why he'd do such a thing?" "I don't know and have nothing to say." "Leave me alone." "If Cyril was your leader, then Tony, your turn is coming up." "And soon." "It's just a stay of execution." "He wouldn't dare." "Not with me." "Is there something between you?" "Tell me, I'll guarantee your protection." "I'm not afraid!" "Screw your protection!" "I'm not afraid." "In your shoes I'd be afraid." "Very afraid." "You love him?" "Yes." "Then ask him to tell you everything." "It's his last chance." "Explain he's in a bad situation." "Honesty is always the best policy." "I'm sure there's something to this." " Your friends seem to have bad ends." " Yeah." "Luigi getting crushed in the freight elevator, you believe that?" " I don't know anymore." " Seems there's a killer, I'm not surprised." " Who knows." " I've seen a few prisons, but never such a massacre." "Pif, paf, poof, three good guys turned into cold meat." "It's excessive, don't you think?" "I do." "...careful." " Tony has a visit." " Oh yeah?" "Too bad, he knows some things." "If the guard hadn't showed up, he would have told me everything." " What everything?" " You know very well." "Why are you sniffing here?" "What do you want to know?" " Shut up Cyril." " Listen!" "There's nothing to know!" "Nothing!" "There's nothing to tell the warden." "Move along!" "Make it quick!" " Come, Tony." " Why are you here?" "I was so afraid this morning." "The warden saw me and explained I was your last chance." "Last chance?" "He's afraid you'll have bad luck." "Tell me everything, Tony." " What do you want to know?" " You know very well." "I've been here 11 months, if the warden thinks I'm in danger, he can let me out early for good conduct." "He first wants you to tell him all." "I have nothing to say." "Even to me?" "I can tell you everything." "He's probably behind the door, but I don't care." "I'll tell you anyway." "I've wanted to hold you for a very long time." "That's what I wanted to say." "Is that what you needed to know?" "Yes." " That too of course, but..." " But what?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "But no...oh come on now!" "Tony!" "The detectives are here, Mr. Director." "They're here in my office." "The wording of my report, is rigourously exact, sir." "Increase surveillance?" "I thought of it, but with what?" "I have too many prisoners for the amount of guards!" "You could have just one, and he'd find a way to escape, suicide or who knows?" "!" "To come strangle you in your office!" "Even so, sir..." "For that, I give you my word, there won't be any more trouble!" "That was the last time!" "No." "Yes, sir." "My regards, sir." "Crimes?" "There were no crimes!" "2 suicides and an accident, nothing more!" "Can I prevent them from going crazy in this stinking prison?" "It needs to be said." "Or stop them from knowing that outside the sky is blue?" "We can hear the ocean from here." "Listen to it." "By day not so much, but at night we can." "Give me better means, like the Americans, with radios, TV..." "Chewing gum, refrigerators, sports fields..." "But I digress...you've been sent to find a murderer?" " That's right." " Allow me a smile, this place is strict," "One can perhaps suicide, but not murder." " But there are 3 dead." " What does that prove?" "Need examples?" "At Grenoble they had 14 suicides in 14 days." "One per day, that's an average." "It's the record." "Since we're here to question them..." "I'm here to help." "I'll even put you in contact with a prisoner, a smart guy, understanding..." "How's it going?" " What is it?" " 2 men want to see you." " Why 2?" " 2 policemen." " What did you do?" " Nothing." "Where are they?" "In the dining room." "I'll get dressed, tell them I'm coming." "He told you he was going with Herman, Berlioux, Falcolli and Cyril Glad?" "He only spoke of Cyril." "Did your fiancé mention an event that might make him rich?" "No, poor guy." "Why would he have talked like that?" "Those 5 men went to the distillery to rob the place." "They drank a bit, and then more..." "It's because they were drunk that they never opened the safe." "They're not drunks, they're thieves." " You understand?" " Thieves that didn't steal." " I was at the trial." " They didn't because the police came." " Herman died 6 months ago." " Berlioux died 3 months ago." " Falcolli is dead." " I didn't know them." "They say suicide, but we don't believe them." "You are wrong then." "Every time I pass those doors, I can't think of a more depressing place." "Now if you'll allow me, I must go to work." "We'll surely see you soon, miss." " What did they want?" " Leave me mom, I'm already late." " You're hiding something." " Don't get any ideas." "Well I saw policemen." "I'm your mother." "I have a right to know." "It's nothing, a client from the store." "You know him?" "Who is it?" "Police have been looking for him, they wanted to know... if he came there with women, who he bought flowers for." " He killed a woman?" "Sent her flowers?" " They didn't say." "Read the Marseillaise!" "Read the Provencal!" "You see your friend Cyril?" "He's pretty messed up, eh?" "You think he gave himself those 2 knife wounds?" "No, you're not that stupid." "But you think this butchery is logical?" "But I say this stinks of infernal conspiracy!" "And I demand you tell me why those 4 guys died!" "You know it!" "You may not be guilty, but you let it happen." " So don't think you'll get out of this!" " I don't care!" "They're watching me!" "They'll kill me like the others!" "Why then?" "And who?" "Give me his name." "I don't know!" "He's here among the 200 you watch!" "All con men and thieves!" " Sure, because you're an angel?" " You don't get it!" "Everybody wants to kill me!" "Mr. Warden?" "The doctor insists we take the injured to the hospital." "The ambulance is at the door." "Alright." "I'm going with him, tell my wife." "Whatever happens, everyone must think that he died." " So?" " So it took longer than I thought." "Surgeon was thorough, 3 transfusions, a heart tonic, tetanus shot, his life is saved, he'll be up and taking tomorrow or the next day." " If he speaks, it'll be thanks to you." " Yes, thanks to me." "Do you still want to escape?" "Less and less." "Trust me, we'll get to Paris." " Yes?" " Yes." "Even if I have to resign." " Understand?" " Yes." " What are you reading?" " "Kill The Pigs"" " Oh well..." " Sad faces all around, know anything?" " Meh, you know me." "I don't know who's killing, maybe one of you, why not?" "You're nuts." "Why would we?" "We don't know your business." " My business?" "What business?" " What do we know?" "Don't make that face, Tony." "Looks like you're going to the morgue." "You'll ruin your health, you didn't snore all night." " Did you hear him mumbling?" " In my shoes you couldn't sleep too." "I don't want to get killed." "Start thinking like that, and you're finished Tony." "I'll check it out, keep it quiet." " Did you see the killer, Paulo?" " No, but I dreamt about him." "The cell to yourself now, deluxe cabin, like in a first class train." "I don't get life." "Cyril gets killed, and scum Fernand is still alive." "There's no justice!" "Getting killed, that's all you talk about." "Why would that happen?" "Would you tell me?" "You're free in 7 days." "That's just it:" "They don't want me out alive." "So 7 days is a long time." " So escape." " That's easy to say." "What if I helped you?" "Could you?" "Then do it, Emile." "Do it." "I'll tell you..." "Cyril, Herman, Gaston, Luigi and I, we did an amazing thing." " Shall we go?" " I'm coming." " Good news." "Is he sleeping?" " Yes." "Warden wants it secret, but your buddy Cyril looks like he's out of danger." " What did you say?" " A real miracle." "Detectives can question him tomorrow." "Now we'll know who the killer is." "They say they already know." "Shall we go?" "The stunned (médusé) Count, dropped his monocle," " "Médusé" from Medusa?" " Very good." "From end to end...he surveyed the salon." " It was an elegant Empire salon." " ...he surveyed..." "The chandelier light played on the tawny golden woodwork," "...the tawny golden woodwork." "And...seemed to animate... the people depicted on the vast tapestry." "Already dressed?" "That's good." "So you understood it all?" "I understood." "It took you a while, poor fool." "Come on then!" "Make any noise and I'll shoot." " Where are you taking me?" " Where you put the case." "I need you for the key." " Who told you about it?" " Cyril." "Remember the Ventimiglia job?" "That was Cyril and I with some other guys." "We all got caught except him." "So I didn't believe the pastis story." "I spoke to him." "He asked me to kill all 4 of you." "The bastard." "Put this on." " Lower your gun, I won't run away." " Move it, get dressed." "Why did you stab Cyril?" "You're so naive." "Take off your prison dress." "I got Cyril before he got me." "Knowing him, once out, he wouldn't have cut me in." "Hurry up!" "It was him or me, understand?" "I preferred to pick it up myself, Rue de la République." "What's that address?" "52, Rue de la République." "Why?" "Why are you laughing?" "Stop it!" "Stop, I said!" " Why do you laugh?" " You fool." "It's not the right address." " What?" " You got fooled by Cyril." " That's not where it is." " I don't believe you." " Don't try to trick me or you're dead!" " And then?" "You'll kill me for nothing, because when you get there, it'll be a vegetable shop, or a hairdresser." "You'll look pretty stupid." " Go ahead, shoot." " Tell me where it is." "Not a chance." "For the bailiff." "You are free." "Lefebure." "We'll never know why Emile Chanu committed those 4 crimes." "There was only 1 crime, Mr. Warden." "The settling of accounts between Emile Chanu and Cyril Glad." " For the 2 suicides and the accident..." " Coincidence, was it?" "Emile paid dearly, I don't think he should be charged with the others." "That's good." "I sincerely hope to never see you here again." " I have no intention of returning." " Very well..." "Because even if you do, with 3 crimes and 10 robberies, I'll refuse you." "You hear me?" "I'll refuse!" "I'd rather resign than have you here again." "I won't forget your face." "Well then, good luck." "I was sure...you would show up." "How are you out of the hospital?" "I escaped." "Last night." " Coffee." " One coffee." " Croissant?" " No thank you." "You came to get the key." "And you?" " Emile?" " Yes." "It's a shame he missed you." "Before dying, he told me everything." "That's how I know what you are." "Garbage!" "An animal!" " And you'll die." " I want the key first." "Go get the key, Tony." "I'm in no hurry." "I want the key Tony." "Go get it." "And Herman?" "Gaston and Luigi?" "Will they come get the key?" "The key..." "I'll get it when you're against the bar." "Dead!" "It'll all be mine!" "All of it!" "Now I can explain:" "Remember a year ago when I went out?" "That fateful night." "I said I would do something for you." "That I would go see your mother..." "Leave your sewing and churning." "You understand now?" "Tell me everything Tony." "You can't imagine what I went through." "You can't imagine how afraid I was." "I nearly stayed in that hell you know." "It's better this way." "Police Commissioner 10th Arrondissemnt, Marseille" "It's better this way, Tony." "Believe me."
