"Juve!" "Juve!" "Mr Thomery is waiting for the Baroness." "You could have told me earlier." "My dear Mathilde, this portrait of you is beautiful." "This little Jacques Dollon has talent." "We can clearly see the influence of Tamara de Lempicka, but you're a greater influence on him." "Oh!" "What do you think?" "Jacques is 25 years old." "Since I've read "Cheri" by Colette..." "How is it going in Santo Domingo?" "Very well." "I just bought 2 acres of land." "I was able to extend my sugar cane plantations." "Sure, I have some problems with indigenous people, but..." "Production increases, this is what counts." "What is happening?" "I do not see that pretty smile that all of Paris envies." "You cannot smile forever." "Yesterday, I asked for 60.000 francs from my banker." "And since then no news." "What do you fear?" "The banker Barbey has foolproof credit." "It isn't his credit which I doubt, but mine." "Usually," "He sends me what I ask in the shortest time." "Mathilde..." "You had to speculate deplorably to need so much money." "I bet you still bought some of these copper mines in Rhodesia." "I thought they went up." "But what do you want?" "I like to play." "This is the only distraction I have left." "We never change." "Mathilde, can I help you?" "Oh, no!" "That, never." "What happened between us was too precious to me." "Even if on your side..." "It is no longer a subject of money between us." "We'll have dinner later, but you will not regret it." "I invited the lady of your thoughts." " Princess Danidoff?" " Herself!" "Norbert Thomery?" "Here you are." " How's the sugar?" " It melts, Madam, in your presence." "The Baroness is served." "Take the princess' arm." "I will follow you." "What a beautiful couple you would make." "Come in." "Madam, Mr Barbey and another gentleman are here." "They ask if you can receive them in spite of the late hour." "Of course." "I'm coming." " You will excuse me." " You're welcome." "Let me introduce you to Mr Nanteuil, my new partner." "Good evening, Mr." "Madam." "Excuse my tardiness, Baroness, please." "Mr Nanteuil is a French Canadian." "With the capitals he brought, my bank, our bank, is now the first private bank in Paris." "I am very happy for you, Mr Barbey." "You will therefore find it easier to give me the money I asked." "Unfortunately, no." "It is no longer the same operation." "I do not know how to say this, but you are completely ruined." "This is the sad language of numbers." "But it is not possible." "Your hotel, your cars," "your home..." " But..." " You must leave everything." "Which Baroness?" "De Vibray, Mr Commissioner." "His patron of the arts, somehow." "Ah!" "Good morning, doctor." "Hello, Commissioner." "She died." "Just a few hours ago." "Yes, yes, yes, yes..." "She was murdered?" "Difficult to say." "The pulse is very weak." "Janitor, a glass of water, please." "Go, drink." "He probably absorbed a violent narcotic." "He'll be back." "Go away!" "What do you want?" "I am a physician." "Ease your mind." "Breathe quietly." "Deeply." "Tell us what happened to you." "My head hurts." "What happened to me?" "I do not know, I do not know." "Ah, yes!" "Yes, yes!" "I was reading, last night and suddenly, some people came out of hiding and pounced on me." "I wanted to free myself, but I was gagged, and they pierced my arm with something sharp." "I lost consciousness." "I wanted to scream, move, but I was powerless." "I sank." "But who are you, sir?" "The Commissioner eighteenth borough." "When you were attacked, you were alone?" "It looks like an intramuscular injection." "Absolutely alone." "I repeat my question:" "Were you really alone last night?" "Are you sure?" "You had invited anyone?" "Mathilde!" "Mathilde." "For whatever reason, you could have poisoned your patron." "And then deceived us by injecting it into yourself." "A soporific." "All this is not clear and I am obliged to place you under arrest." "Until you decide to tell us the truth." "But I am innocent." "I said all I knew." "You may enjoy explaining it to the Judge." ""La Capitale", latest edition!" "Latest edition!" "Come in." "The pictures you requested." "Put them over there, thank you." "Hello, Fandor!" "Interesting, that paper of yours on the Norvins St. case." "You have surprised everyone once more." "And say so ..." "Couldn't you push a little further?" "They have no adventures, these people?" "Adventures?" "Yes, you could write a scandalous article about the Baroness de Vibray and Dollon." "After all, this is the only crime for 48 hours." "We must fill up the column." "And maybe you could drag some Fantomas in all this." "Stop joking about this, please." "For most people, Fantômas is nothing but make-believe." "Nobody was able to put a name on the man behind the mask." "I have the feeling you forget the death of" "Juve in his last battle against Fantômas." "It is true that our famous Police officer was horribly killed." "Buried beneath Lady Beltham's hotel." "Yes." "A dirty death..." "but it will perhaps have been useful." "Useful?" "How?" "Because it proves the existence Fantômas." "Because it forced him to disappear." "Curiously, it is in dying that Juve has kept Fantômas from doing harm." "So what do we do with Baroness de Vibray?" "Could we not suggest that Dollon was heir to his will, or something like that?" "Hello, yes?" "Yes." "It's for you, Fandor." "Thank you." "Yes?" "Jacques Dollon just hung himself in his cell." "Thank you for calling So the murderer hanged himself?" "My little Fandor, the murderer is innocent." "What are you talking about, Arsène?" "We just brought a letter with the name of the Baroness de Vibray on the back." "I read it discretly before bringing it to the procurator." "I copied it." ""Mr Procurator." "The Barbey and Nanteuil bankers made it clear that I'm completely ruined." "I have no family." "My life is stupid, useless, and when you read this letter," "I'll be dead by poison." "I write you to make it clear I'm the only one responsible for my death." "Nobody should be blamed for my death." "Nobody." "Farewell." "Baroness de Vibray."" "Fantastic!" "You are a brother, Arsène." "Usher!" "Procurator asks for me." "I gotta go." "You would get me a permit to enter in the jail?" "What would I not do?" "Judge Fuselier is committed to the case." "See you later." "You do not monitor the prisoners to prevent these things?" "Listen, after we took his fingerprints, everything was fine." "At midnight, the guard made his round and found nothing unusual." "Only this morning he was found hanging." "When soup was being served." "Hanging?" "And with what?" "I see what you're getting at, Mr Fandor." "But no." "The guards removed his tie, his suspenders and his shoelaces." "All that was left him was a medallion" "which he held dear." "You know, the unfortunate man had to exert a terrible energy, because he tied strips of his shirt to the bars of his window and he hung himself leaning back in the rear." "Tell me, death was probably very slow?" "Could I see him?" "Why not photograph him?" "Miss Elizabeth Dollon." "Ah!" "Let her in." "She comes from Switzerland." "Sir, where is my brother?" "Miss, I beg you, rest easy." "He was arrested but it probably was a mistake." "I know, but it is terrible." "You know, Miss, what would be truly terrible is that he was really guilty." "Why did you not free him?" "He has therefore not been able to defend himself?" "On the contrary, Miss." "H defended himself." "And where is he now?" "Can I see him?" "Listen..." "I would rather..." "I mean..." "I fear that seeing him" "You're hiding something." "I want to see him, you hear me?" "He's dead, isn't he?" "Alas, Mss." "No, it is not possible." "This is not true." "He was killed?" "Listen, lead me to him." "You can not refuse me." "It's too horrible." "I beg you, calm down." "I'll take you to your brother." "Your brother was innocent." "I would have preferred him to be guilty, but alive." "This hanging is a horrible story." "It's not our fault." "We should have better monitored him." "You, especially." "You're my assistant, right?" "I can not have eyes everywhere." "So when the judge will be here, be available to him." "With deference." "Otherwise, you will return to "La Santé" jailhouse." "If you knew the trouble I was given to be posted here." "This is an entry permit." "Mr Fandor?" "It is unfortunate that the procurator authorizes a journalist, especially today." "I know you really want to kiss your brother but will you be able to endure the test?" "Open the door." "Nibet." "We lay back Mr Dollon on his bed, Mr judge." "He seems to sleep." "Damn, the dead has left." "Listen, let's be serious," " you're in the wrong cell." " But no!" "You see that he is not here." "He was here a few minutes ago." "You're fooling us.." "He was moved elsewhere." "Impossible." "I'm the only one with keys." "Anyone know where the corpse from cell 12 is?" "No one came." "The dead was here." "It's true." "The doctor declared him dead." "Yes." "He was put on the bed." "We didn't touch him." "You may have kept your key, but the prisoner found another one." "The key to freedom." "It's extraordinary!" "He could not crawl through the bars!" "Chief." "This man, was he dead, yes or no?" "Mr Judge, to be dead is to be dead, and he was dead." "He lives." "He lives." "A boy is arrested for murder." "But he is innocent." "Then he hangs himself, dies, and escapes from jail without being seen." "If we don't double our readership with that, I will be hanged!" "Hold your horses!" "One hanging man is enough." "One of two things:" "Either Jacques Dollon was not dead and he went out alone, or he was dead and someone took him out." "Anyway, we must know how the escape took place." "An inexplicable mystery is worthy only of one man." "I'm sure of it now." "He returns, unlike what I said earlier." "Fantômas?" "Yes." "I have to take the case, if only to avenge Juve." "What are you going to do?" "Blood." "Get lost!" "Something's wrong!" "Go, go!" "I'm leaving." "See you tonight." "Tail-hair, follow me." "Don't you understand, idiot?" "Come on!" "Come on, hurry up!" "You silly fool!" "I could have sliced him for good!" "Come on!" "Oh!" "Toulouche!" "What is happening?" "Go back to sleep, you!" "Have you embarked the counterfeit money?" "Yeah." "For this, no problem, but this damned reporter, this Fandor, he was walking in the main sewer." "I was going to slice him for good, but this idiot, he threw him in the river." "With any luck, he drowned." "Not a chance!" "He swims like a fish." "Why did you save his life?" "What do you reproach me?" "What innocence!" "He always forgets everything." "It's really not smart to have him introduced in the gang." "I do what I want." "If it's not in your taste, you can remove your printing presses from my cellar." "For what I earn on your output..." "Besides he renders services." "His brain is full of holes like a strainer." "Precisely, as he has no memory, he says nothing." "It's better." "Go, now." "I have to open my shop at 9 am." "Let's go!" "Go and have the stew from last night warmed up." "It will be better when we have the new Mexican paper." "Eh?" "No, nothing." "Montparnasse, quick!" "Yes, sir." "Good morning." "Hello, Elizabeth." "Come, I've already ordered." "I read your article yesterday." "If my brother is alive, can I see him?" "I never wrote he was alive." "I just assumed he was." "In fact, I worked deductively." "At last, he's alive or not?" "In reality, since last night, I'm... sure he is dead." "I even have proof." "I found this medallion in the sewers that serve the courthouse." "It's horrible." "Is it the medallion he always carried with him?" "Yes." "I gave it to him." "It is the effigy of St. Jacques, his patron saint." "I brought it back from a pilgrimage to Compostela." "Why weren't you more clear in your article?" "You are right." "I should've speak to you before writing it." "What is important for a journalist, is to keep readers in suspense, so they'll want to buy the newspaper." "At the expense of the truth?" "I never wrote anything false." "I just give enough elements so the reader can imagine what he wants." "I'm losing my mind, you know." "Elizabeth our only chance to clarify this story is to remain united." "I ask you to do that for your brother." "And for me." "We're going to choose the cake." "Okay." "Which one?" "This one." "What is it?" "Who is there?" "The injection, quick!" "Pick up the list." "It is on the desktop." "Here it is." "You're lucky." "If you had not saved me from the guillotine in the past," "I would have strangled you." "To leave this list lying about..." "Fortunately the police didn't find it." "I did not realize when you had asked me to pick it up." "It is you who have written it on this desktop." "I thought that you had taken it." "This is a misunderstanding." "The incident is closed." "It remains to know whether the girl has seen it." "The sheet was returned." "Yes, but you never know." "And when in doubt, I do not abstain." "Good Lord, what are you doing?" "Nibet, you still have a lot to learn." " Excuse me." " Sir?" " The Number 10?" " To your right." " Thank you." " It's nothing." "Elizabeth?" "Elizabeth?" "Why am I in the garden?" "Someone tried to suffocate you with the gas from the kitchen." "But the gas has been cut for two days." "You have not seen the men at work?" "I have." "You escaped the worst." "How are you?" "I do not know." "I feel drunk." "You have to walk." "Stand up." "Come on." "Breathe deeply." "Go ahead." "I remember." " They gave me an injection." " An injection?" "Same as your brother: a soporific." "The man who pushed the needle was dressed in black." "Fantômas..." "Fantômas?" "Ah, yes, the list." "Which list?" "The list." "It's a tragedy." "They burned it." "What are you talking about?" "What is that list?" "A hand written sheet with names and dates." "It was here." "I saw it only yesterday." "I did not think that it was important." "I should have called you, Fandor." "Calm down." "Try to remember what was written." "Well, I only remember..." ""Baroness de Vibray"" ""April 5" and..." "And then?" "And then, of course, my brother's name with the same date." "Maybe "12 April" was written too." "I'm not sure at all." "Not a word to anyone about what just happened." "We're here to help you with the circumstances you are going through." "We know everything about your financial situation." "Indeed." "Through us, you could sell some of your unfortunate brother's paintings." "Yes, and if he is still alive, as I wish, he will be happy to know that his paintings were taken care of." "It is very kind of you." "I'm very grateful." "You're welcome." "You are very pale." "Are you sick?" "No, not at all." "On the contrary." "Come with me." "We will take the air in the garden." "I'm taking care of her." "We woke up painful memories to you." "You are very alone in this house." "Don't you have relatives?" "No." "Friends?" "I'm here, now." "I am very careful." "Attentive to your eyes." "My eyes?" "Yes, they are so young, so clear." "And yet, I guess all they have seen recently that they should not have seen." "Smile at me." "I am convinced you will soon find your brother." "Believe me." "What can I say, Sir?" "Your words are helping me in an unexpected way." "Probably you already suffered greatly in your own flesh." "The suffering of others can not but interest a man like me." "Your dedication affects me greatly." "It is limitless, know it." "Nanteuil, we will take our leave." "Don't bother to lead us out, Miss." "We'll let you know soon." "Goodbye, sir." "Goodbye." "Count on me." "And good luck." "He is ...well..." "They are wonderful, aren't they?" "For them, a painter who died is a painter whose quoted value goes up." "Look at Modigliani." "Barbey and Nanteuil are astute businessmen." "You see evil everywhere." "Professional bias." "You should not stay here." "This house is full of souvenirs." "I know a wonderful boarding house." "I lived over there when I arrived in Paris." "Rather say that you fear for my life." "Is that it?" "Yes." "Taste it." "It lacks a little of violet perfume." "I come back." "Whatever." "Remain by my side." "Why don't you want me to go?" "It will take only thirty seconds." "It is April 12." "I know, so what?" "It's the anniversary today." "The fatal date." "Listen, Princess, every year at this date, it's the same." "You are afraid." "Meanwhile, Mr Fantômas has not returned for four years." "I'm superstitious." "Come on, you're going to Mr Thomery's bal later." "Exactly." "Mr Thomey was ill-advised to give up this bal barely a few days after the tragic death of my friend the Baroness de Vibray." "I tried to dissuade him." "The Baroness was his mistress once." "It was said, yes." "I am sure of it, but it is precisely to deprive me of this suspicion that Norbert maintained the evening." "You must get out of the bath, Princess, or you will be late." "No, little Nadine, wearing an opal bracelet is old fashioned." "I'll take this." "And this." "This way, you look like the Holy Virgin." "I am neither one nor the other." "This syncopated melody which contrasts with the constant rythm of the drums is really exciting." "To dance, perhaps, but it's not worth Mozart." "Dear friend, one can love Mozart and jazz." "The only thing interesting you is religious music." "Dear Mr Fandor, I devour your articles." "This Dollon case is very exciting." "So you like that much crime stories?" "Yes, when I do not live them." "It's true, you have been visited by" "Fantômas in your bathtub a few years ago." "Do not talk about it, especially tonight." "I hope that he will be hanged very soon." "Dear princess, I think you should not provoke him." "Even in word." "To hell with him." "Do you believe in the devil?" "His supreme skill is to convince people he doesn't exist." " Sorry." " You're hurt?" "Madam, I am confused." "Excuse me." "It is nothing at all." "I'll freshen up." "A beauty like yours never changes." "Come, my dear." "I'll lead you." "It was to discover your thoughts." "You didn't answer me yet." "Well... it is yes." "Yes?" "You mean..." "Yes, yes really?" "Yes." "I agree to become your wife." "Now let me." "Come and get me shortly." "Do not be afraid." "Sleep." "Sleep." "In the violent effort made by the thief to snatch the necklace and earrings from the princess his fingers, pressing on the neck of Princess Danidoff, left a slight trace of sweating." "I spilled the silver nitrate on the princess' neck" "You see the results." "Effectively." "The print is very clear." "It needs to be indentified." "We are not at the end of our inquiry." "Wait a moment, my little Fandor, you have not seen everything." "Look at the details." "The small scar, on both shots." "These two fingerprints are identical." "Absolutely identical." "And where does the second impression come from?" "The anthropometric file." "The name." "The name of the culprit." "The culprit is..." "Jacques Dollon." "Jacques..." "It is not possible, this man is dead." "Where's the gold?" "Over there." "Thank you." "What do you want, Sir?" "I would like to see Mr Nanteuil, please." "Private business." "Please follow me." "It is Mr Fandor." "Ask him to enter." "Ah, Mr Fandor." "I did not think I would meet you so fast." "Mr Nanteuil." "Hello." "Sit down." "You're probably not ignoring the excitement caused in Paris by the murder of the Baroness de Vibray." "And the important theft committed against Princess Danidoff." "And how am I concerned?" "The little I know, I learned it by reading your articles in the press, Mr Fandor." "Can you confirm that the Baroness was ruined?" "Well, I do not violate the professional secret by saying" "yes." "She had undergone irretrievable losses." "And Jacques Dollon?" "You think he's guilty?" "A priori." "From what I've read in the press." "Why?" "Do you have any doubts?" "Nanteuil." "What's the matter?" "We've been robbed." " How?" " On the train." "The gold was bound for the Bank of Munich." "It wasn't monitored?" "The conveyors didn't last long." " They were thrown off the train." " By whom?" "A man." "Dressed in black." "A conveyor crashed on a pylon." "The others could make it but they're in poor shape." "A man." "All in black." " Are you Mr Fandor?" " Yes, why?" "You must go at once to 46 Bonaparte St, 4th Floor." "This is Juve's address." "You must be mistaken." "No." "Not at all." "Fandor, my boy!" "My boy!" "Juve?" "Is that you?" "It's me in the flesh." "When Lady Beltham's hotel blew up, you were found dead under the rubble." "This is what I have made believe, in agreement with the Director of the force, Mr Havard." "Immediately after the explosion, several of my men were found dead, some shredded." "One of them was unrecognizable." "For the public opinion, and in agreement with his family, he was called Juve." "Why did you hide me the truth?" "I had given Monsieur Havard my word that no one would know the truth." "And I kept to my word." "Why passing up for dead?" "To better track Fantomas?" "Exactly." "I learned that Lady Beltham had fled to England." "I knew Fantômas would join her." "So what?" "I crossed the Channel: unfortunately he had just left for Canada." "And you have changed your face." "Yes." "To start again at the same level." "Not without difficulties," "I got introduced to this band of hoodlums that you know." "People who may work for Fantômas?" "That's right:" "Cut-Nose, Gas-light, Mother Toulouche." "Because... they began thieving again." "Fandor, Fantomas is back." "Why not arrest Nibet, Nose-cut" " and the others?" " No." "No, they are small fry." "Small-time criminals." "No." "I let them act freely and thanks to them," "I'm sure that I will find Fantômas." "But for now..." ""Tail-hair" I am, and "Tail-hair" I will remain." "It's the name they gave you?" "Yes it is." "I'm happy you are here." "Fandor!" "Fandor!" "This is the last dispatch from Havas news agency:" ""The findings made on the trunk of the Munich-Paris train led to the discovery of a fingerprint left by Jacques Dollon, the man wanted for the murder of the Baroness de Vibray and the theft from the Princess Danidoff."" "This is madness!" "I'm going crazy!" "Not now!" "I need sensational stuff, so sort it out yourself." "Go!" "Hello, Fandor." "Good morning." "She was in her room." "Thank you." "Excuse me." " How are you?" " Better." "I find it peaceful here." "I got your message." "What's wrong?" "Ah, yes." "I read your article on the princess Danidoff." "I 'm sure now:" "Her name was on the list with the date of April 12." "Sorry to bother you, but someone is asking for Miss Elizabeth on the phone." "Anyone know you are here?" "No, just you." "I can accompany you?" "Yeah, sure." "Hello?" "Elizabeth Dollon?" "Yes." "He hung up." "Apart from Sonia Danidoff, do you remember any other names in the list?" "Yes, maybe Tom... something." "Or "Thomas"." "This tells you something?" "Without the name, it will not." "There were also initials." "Unfinished words." "I think this list is the calendar for Fantomas futur attacks." "I'm afraid, Fandor." "These phone calls." "Someone wants to kill me." "We will survive." "I promise you." "Hello, Elizabeth." "The convocation is at 4 pm, isn't it?" "Yes, yes." "Thank you for your call, last night." "It touched me." "I have not called." "I beg you, Fandor." "Don't kid me." "Despite the buzz, I recognized your voice." "What am I supposed to have said to you?" "Very nice things, very delicate." "And you asked me questions about the list again." "Someone imitated my voice." "Someone wanted to know what you exactly saw on that list." "You will not return to the hotel." "It's too dangerous." "But what am I going to do?" "I'm getting mad!" "The persons named by Judge Fuselier are requested to enter." "Whatever I do in the office of the judge, do not be surprised of the consequences for you, even if I created them." "Good morning, miss." "Hello, my dear Fandor." "For once, I do not receive the journalist, but the witness." "Miss." "You have arrived at the right time to save Miss Dollon a few days ago." "In any case, the gas was cut." "It's hot in here." "I'm taking off my coat." "Please, miss." "I've learned, gentlemen, that you had been victims of a thief." "Yes, 25 million." "That's right, gentlemen?" "It's a terrible blow for you." "Abominable." "We almost lost the trust of our clients." "First in line, Mr Thomery, tycoon of the sugar industry." "It's true." "When you're a master of finance, confidence is essential." "Yes, well, I guess you were insured, right?" "Obviously." "But what are our troubles compared to the tragedy which hit Miss Elizabeth?" "The Murder of the Baroness de Vibray?" "No, Madame de Vibray commited suicide." "The letter sent to the procurator was subjected to handwriting analysis and experts are adamant:" "It is his writing." "I need your attention." "What I'm about to reveal is extremely delicate." "Elizabeth, you are surrounded by friends." "I'm asking you to tell us the truth!" "But what truth?" "The naked truth." "You met your brother in secret 48 hours ago!" " This is false!" " Do not deny it." "It is wiser to confess." "Mr Judge will consider it." "Do you have proof of what you just said?" "Absolutely." "This medallion, Mr judge" "You recognize it?" "You authorized Dollon to keep it with him in his cell." "Why didn't we find the young man's body while his sister bears the medallion today?" "It's you who gave it to me!" "Do not deny it!" "You lie again only to save your brother." "You know very well that if he is found and charged with these crimes, he'll get the scaffold." "It shows a little." "Doesn't it?" "I understand that it is a concern, but do not make it an obsession." "Turn your head, Sonia." "No one will see it, I assure you." "Your scars are invisible." "When I think about all that happened..." "Forget it." " Let's eat." " Sir?" " What?" " What is it?" " A lady asked for you." " Take that." "She's waiting in the park." "How is she?" "My God..." "Cumbersome." "Madam?" "I'm a jewel broker." "Since the announcement of my next wedding," "I keep getting visits from jewelers, decorators..." "While browsing, I found in a jewel store," "I will not tell you his name by the way, these beads." "These beads are beautiful, Madam, but again: it's not." "I m sure the Princess Danidoff would be very happy to have them." "Where are they from?" "Show them to her first, then you'll decide." "I will give you a great price." "And I have other jewelry." "A moment." "Oh, look, I'm in a hurry!" "If you decide to buy, meet me tomorrow at the Orsay railway station." "Alright." "Jean, please get Madam to the door." " Well, sir." " Good evening." "This is extraordinary, but..." "I swear, my dear Norbert, these are the jewels that were stolen from me." "I have every reason to believe you." "It is this woman?" "A receiver of stolen goods who sells the goods that thiefs put in her hands." "I'll buy them." "I have an appointment tomorrow." "Pay yourself." "Good morning." "I think you heard the news." "You mean the disappearance of Thomery?" "Yes, I know." "I guess that when a guy like him disappears, the market takes a hit." "Can you explain it to me?" "I will not give you a political economy course." "No." "I only want to know:" "When a guy like that disappears who pays the damages?" "A lot of people." "There are now a lot of bankrupt people on the market." "Then who benefits?" "In other words, who are the people who benefit from his disappearance?" "Negative financial speculators who want the market to tumble, to buy some stocks for dirt cheap, then sell them anew." "But they are worthless!" "On the contrary." "Suppose a financier has anticipated, a few days ago, the disappearance or say, to simplify, the death of Thomery." "So the financier sells to the buyers its actions at a firm and final price, but, listen well, available only in 15 days." "That way, buyers are forced to buy at full price actions which are worthless." "As it is played on many actions, you see the fabulous profits?" "Effectively, it's a good trick." "Ah!" "I've been looking for you everywhere, my pal!" "They found Thomery's corpse in the Orsay's glass roof." "And Professor Hansen has found again fingerprints belonging to Jacques Dollon." "Miss Dollon awaits you in the parlor." "But it's really an exception after visiting hours." "Can't you remove the handcuffs, please?" "No, the rules prohibit it." "You have five minutes." "I'm behind the door." "How could you have me arrested?" "You know I have done nothing." "You are safe here." "This is the most important thing." "I'm frightened all the time." "And this is the prison where they killed my brother." "Yes, but the assassination of your brother was premeditated." "And criminals do not have accomplices in every prison." "Finally, you are being closely watched, by order of the judge." "You said it yourself:" "Fantômas is capable of anything." "Yes, but less here than elsewhere else." "Forgive me, Elizabeth." "Forgive me." "You lied to the judge." "It's called contempt of court." "You should be here at my place." "But when you're a great journalist..." "I did it because..." "I want to know when they will release me." "As soon as you are out of danger." "Anyway..." "I love you." "Love me?" "No, you think you do." "But you belong to Fantômas." "So leave me alone." "Happy hunting." "Ah!" "At last." "Excuse me, I went to see Elizabeth in jail." "How's your love?" "Bad." "She can not forgive me for what I've done." "Forget it." "Come on, I took the keys." "How are those pimping friends of yours?" "Bad." "They begin to distrust me." "The Beadle and the Bearded disappeared 48 hours ago and the mother Toulouche, who liked me well, keeps her mouth shut now." "They have guessed?" "Yes, it's possible." "I do not see what you think you'll find here." "That's what I thought." "You can write..." ""Baroness de Vibray:" "April 3." "Jacques Dollon:" "JH, ditto." "Sonia Danidoff:" "April 12." "B.N.:" "May 15." "Mr F,..." "Thomery: during May." "Bank:" "May 31."" "JH, what does that mean?" "JH..." "Jail House, of course." "The boy died in jail." "Sonia Danidoff:" "April 12." "The exact date of the jewels robbery." "Yes." "B.N.?" "B.N.:" "May 15." "May 15." "It's the date of the train robbery." "The gold bars." "B.N. is for is Barbey Nanteuil." "Mr F?" "There is no date." "That I do not see." "Thomery: during May." "During May..." "It is rather late May, because he was assassinated on the 30th." "Farewell!" "Mr F." "For god's sake, Fantômas wants to murder me?" "Yes, but there is no date after your initials, then Fantomas has perhaps considered that your death was not essential." "It's still frightens me." "I thought you loved the danger?" "The danger, yes, but executions, no!" "And finally, Bank:" "May 31." "And we are at May 31." "Of course it's the Barbey-Nanteuil bank." "Their deposit safes are in danger and also their lives." "He will act before midnight." "How do we play?" "I stay behind the scenes, you come into the scene." "Fantomas?" "Please..." "The people need dreams or nightmares, but not us." "It is nonetheless true we are in danger." "Gentlemen, would you offer me hospitality until tomorrow?" "I know your apartments are above the offices." "Maybe you still have a room there?" "I would like to stay in the place during the night." "Thank you." "Say." "Does your servant live here?" "No, he is married and has children." "He goes home." "If that's what you want to know, we'll be three in the apartment." "Sir?" "Forgive me." "Thank you." "Philippe, I no longer need you." "You can withdraw." "I really doubt something will happen." "Individuals who threaten us will surely be wary." "I guess that they already know you spend the night here." "My presence here won't prevent them from acting." "I hope that my room will please you." "I'm sure, but..." "I'm sorry to put you out of your own room." "I did rearrange it with great care." "That I do not doubt." "My partner got the ceiling and floor screwed, very complicated works, because the room, which was in good condition, was not to his taste." "It is in a room that one passes half his life, doesn't it?" "It's late." "We will accompany you." "I know the way." "I insist." "If you need something, I'm in the room in front of yours." "Thank you." "Everything is perfect." " Good evening." " Good evening." "What's the matter?" "What's the matter?" "Fandor!" "Open up!" "Of course, the wires have been cut." "What has happened?" "You're in such a mess!" "It is impossible for Fantomas to leave this room." "I have the same opinion." "Who are you?" "Inspector Juve, police." "I thought you were dead!" "I was such a bore in the next world with my stories of Fantômas, that they sent me back to Earth." "You feel better?" "Okay, okay." "I tried to help." "And someone hit me on the head." "So it's you who entered first?" "Obviously since my room is the closest to yours." "Why do you say that Fantômas has not come out of this room?" "He was able to leave by the window." "The glass is broken." "And his mask is hooked." "I can assure you that Fantômas did not escape through this window." "Why try to deny the obvious?" "The evidence?" "You know, sir, that you're in the fourth floor, that there is no ledge or balcony, that unless proven otherwise, nobody saw Fantomas fly." "He only smashed the glass to give the change and delude us." "If not by the window so how did he get out?" "In any case, not by the door either." "We would have met him coming in." "Fantomas could not have escape." "Let's be coherent." "Where do you believe he's hiding?" "Guess." "Guess?" "Instead say you know nothing." "You made us lose enough time." "You would be better looking through the floors." "Useless." "Fantômas has not left these four walls." "This is absolute madness!" "Mr Nanteuil, would you please do me a service and draw plans of this floor?" "I can not draw." "Do your best." "Fine." "If you insist..." "I will prepare the ink and paper, Mr Nanteuil." "But what are you doing?" "Oh!" "I brought a little snapshot:" "These prints are identical." "And these are the fingerprints of Jacques Dollon." "What is this story?" "This is madness!" "Mr Juve." "This is a journalist's trick!" "It would be easy to make another print from my finger." "You'll see I'm not Jacques Dollon." "No need." "I saw through your act a second ago." "The hand of Jacques Dollon." "Beautifully tanned human skin." "It has retained its flexibility, and of course, all its features." "What a disgrace for the bank." "But why did you do that?" "His motive is money." "It all started when Madam de Vibray was driven to suicide." "She believed herself ruined." "In fact, it was only a manipulation of her stock fomented by Mr Nanteuil." "And to say I didn't see anything." "It's clear that you didn't call enough your associate to account." "After the suicide of the Baroness, Mr Nanteuil, aka Fantomas, transported her corpse to Jacques Dollon's loft." "There he put the painter to sleep to set him up as the murderer." "Effectively, Jacques is suspected and imprisoned." "Then, fearing that the young man manages to exonerate himself, he hangs him in his cell." "And he has this diabolical idea:" "He uses jacques Dollon's hand to commit his crimes with impunity." "It's impossible." "Defend yourself." "Fantômas... in name of the law..." "I arrest you!" "Stay calm." ""The misfortune of man," said the philosopher," ""is that he never knew how to remain at peace in a room."" "You probably have nails or iron in your shoes." "Take them off!" "Take them off!" "And disconnect the power." "Hurry!" "The whole piece has been magnetized." "There are electromagnets everywhere in the ceiling, walls, under the floor." "The battle must continue!" "Useless." "He has disappeared since a long time among all these books." "Between the lines." "Between the lines?"
