The same feeling came back tome,

when I finished my first assignment

with Elliot.

He was reading Homer!

He passionately loves poems.

I confessed, I haven't read,

and I know nothing about it.

In Qimper.

Yes, Qimper!

Comper.

Father - Pre.

Yes, Homer!

Bravo! That's it: Mre - mother!

I am a fool!

It is obvious.

Thank you, Doctor.

My friends have no passports.

- I'll give you $ 500.

- 800.

OK.

Then you pay for croissants.

You really knew nothing about David?

No, I only knew that your father

has changed his name.

And how do you like it?

Like his father - a poet.

- And, by the way, geese.

- What - geese?

I don't raise ducks,

I raise geese.

- Why without us?

- I don't know them well.

- You came with kids?

- Yes.

If you can call them kids.

M. Elliot just called.

He said he wants to change

the date of the meeting.

It will take place in 3 days.

If you remain in Venice,

we have a company apartment.

Thank you.

Can you call Elliot?

No, he calls us.

He tried to meet you but could not.

Why did he change the date again?

We don't know.

We said that Pound

did not came with you,

but he said that he postponed

the meeting not because of him.

- Will you remain?

- I don't know.

Kids wanted to ride a boat

and go to the beach.

Do not play with us,

mademoiselle.

Stuff your -

monsieur, mademoiselle, madame.

Make it clear.

What is the reason for the meeting?

M. Elliot was giving us advices

for some years,

where to invest.

M. Elloit got a half percent

of the income,

which grow bigger due to his advices.

As an employee of American agency,

he had a circle of friends,

helping him to forecast the scams

of the federal government.

M. Elliot worked with us

time after time.

His share consisted of

several hundreds of thousands

of dollars.

Now he offers us to withdraw

all the money,

that had been invested

in the territory of the United States.

He thinks his share would be

And he wants them to be shared

between his children.

You spoke about Elliot,

as of former US special agent.

We know, that half a year ago

he started to work for

the US government again.

If not this, we would never

started to follow

such an absurd advice.

American government

would not allow their agent...

That is why he wants

the money for his children.

And we are talking about 30 millions.

M. Elliot is a big boy,

and he understands the risks.

What may signify such a big money?

He thinks that the dollar

will fall about 20%.

What may cause this?

The murder of a president

or a new war.

- What do you do?

- We wait.

- You missed.

- And you?

- I don't know.

Have to think.

- Where to?

- Take a leak.

Either Caparros or De Carvalho?

Igor Zyberski?

Where they have to meet?

In Venice.

Yes, we should check it.

Don't forget about my accounts.

- With whom did you talk?

- With a minister I know.

Playing spy games again?

Asked to feed the turtle.

We'll meet at home.

You are not changing.

But you are changing for the better.

Everyting is changing, my dear.

- But Elliot?

- What - Elliot?

I was told you met him

in Berlin on June

and in Hamburg on July.

- Impossible to hide anything from you.

- What were those meetings about?

These were not meetings,

I was a courrier.

Any ideas about it?

Frankly - no.

But I know a person,

who might have recordings

of an important meeting.

How much does it cost?

I don't know if he wants to sell,

especially to French.

You are such a bastards.

I'm not French.

I'll pay what he asks.

Call me.

Irene Montano met Igor Zyberski.

- Where?

- In Venice.

- Where is your brother?

- Upstairs.

- Fighting again?

- No.

Can't stand this game any more.

You loved anybody?

Let's say - yes and no.

- And for real?

- For real?

For real - no.

No.

Me too.

And do not want?

- One more?

- Wont be too much?

No.

A bit more and I'll end up

leaving you in the street

dead drunk.

Yes? We'll see.

- You bet?

- On what?

On a night with him.

- You should ask him.

- I'm drunk, not stupid.

If we ask him I'll lose my chance.

Not sure if drunk,

but there'll be no chance.

There I think.

No, my mistake.

Should be there.

Our road leads to distant shores

and elusive dreams.

Our road leads to distant shores

and elusive dreams.

Igor Zyberski.

I spoke with my friend.

He is ready to sell you

the recording for $ 10 000.

Didn't you forget to tell him

all French are bastards?

No, when he heard with whom you live,

he understood that

it won't be you who pays.

- You heard the recording?

- No.

What is it about?

Strong. Very.

Could not understand all, but strong.

Will you bring it to me?

- Remember "Vini da Schiari"?

- Yes.

- At 9 o'clock.

- OK.

- Look how nice.

- You shure?

Look at them!

Do you like?

Wait!

I can carry 2 more bags.

I'll get you in a moment.

You are not so strong!

We adviced you to stay in shadows.

I'm doing it.

Why did you met Igor Zyberski?

He's an old acquaintance of mine.

M. Elliot called us.

He'll be in Venice tomorrow evening.

What you have done

would not cancel the meeting?

Ask him to call me.

- Sorry, I'm late.

- They should be sorry.

What happened?

Are you fighting?

It is not teeth.

You should not brush it every day.

Brushing teeth irritates me,

but cleaning a gun - pacifies.

Irene loves Elliot.

Elliot loves William Blake.

Good evening, Doctor.

Yes, I know, it's already late,

but I need to talk to you.

Everything is OK.

I think I'm well.

I think I could kill my dad,

and now without a doubt.

Yes, I promise to call you.

Good night, Doctor.

What?

Where is he?

- Where is he?

- The gun is not loaded.

Will you talk with father?

I asked you a question.

Answer me.

I swear on the head of your Tortue.

- Good evening.

- Here are the children.

My companion went to the airport

to get Elliot.

We'll have to wait.

Yes, I promised to call you.

Yes I know, but...

No, I do not understand you, Doctor.

You told me yourself that

Elliot looks like father,

it is important - to kill the dad.

It is symbolic.

What does it change?

Believe me, you're wrong.

Believe me, craving for action

sometimes is a sign of

a good mental health.

Call the doctor.

This is your fault, Mlle Montano.

We have to know, why you ordered

to transfer all our assets

from America.

We are not sure,

should we follow your advice.

- Are you a doctor?

- A surgeon!

I came to kill, but not you.

I want to know where are the fuses.

Where?!

He is here, I'll take care of him.

It is a pity we could not have

a cup of coffee in Paris.

You arrived yesterday?

Hardly managed.

Zyberski asked me to stand in for him.

He even begged.

Touche!

- Will you follow his advice?

- Yes.

Do your group guard

the interests of Saudi Arabia?

Not only.

We are guarding interests

of certain persons

in Saudi Arabia,

Europe, and also America.

- What was on the disc?

- The proof.

Of what?

Of the event what will soon take place.

What are you going to do?
