That's fate!

And you can't help fate.

the wind's shifting.

Everyone's gonna get it.

Mr Louison, I'm not supposed to tell you, but...

what happened to your friend happens here.

It takes place at night in the stairs.

That's why no one goes out.

And my father...

Soporific herbs

Hi!

- I'm here for the springs.

- Come in.

This is an antique! It has seen a lot of use.

What's the problem?

It squeaks. That's a pain.

Could you bounce just a little?

I can't see anything.

It does it most

when there're 2 of us.

Let's try it.

As I thought, the 2nd spring to the right.

Come, Aurore...

We are here...

to help you...

Come...

Freed from life...

Come with us, Aurore...

Soothed...

Come at 11 sharp. Ring hard!

Rotten world...

That should do it.

- Here...

- Thanks.

What are Troglodists?

Outlaws. It's the big story, but no one sees them.

Tales to keep people busy.

A typical Capricorn statement!

You lose, I'm Aquarius.

The sign of the future!

The future...

It's soon history around here.

It's so easy to miss a step.

Don't worry about me.

You little brats, give that back!

Quit sneering, or I'll whack you one!

I'll beat one with the other!

Give that back, I won't stand for it!

Nice work!

Little rugrats,

how'll we get it down?

This is a job for the Australian!

The Australian?

Stand back.

That's some tool!

The Australian is nothing without its master.

How about that!

So, Tapioca, you find a job?

No, not yet.

That's bad news, your bill's running up.

Not to mention the rent.

I'm in a bit of a fix. But I've got some good stuff.

Have a look?

Black market? You're a louse!

But take a look.

What's that?

A rat-call. That's the female cry.

It attracts males.

But there're no rats left. And that?

That is a bullshit detector.

Try it.

Try what?

Give me some bullshit. Come on!

I can't do it on cue.

"Life is beautiful."

A bullshit of a detector!

Turn it off! We can't hear a thing.

If you can't pay up, we'll have to find a way.

Fast. Otherwise you'll wind up hooked to me.

Very funny!

What about that clown? He's been around long enough.

We're edgy.

Don't care! He'll redo the ceilings.

Meanwhile, he takes root and we wither away.

I have mouths to feed.

I bet! The granny's, for instance.

Why do you mention her?

I know why.

What do you mean?

Want to pay up? Give up granny.

Tonight.

Take it easy!

She's one of ours. The rules say...

The rules...

Age limit is a rule, too.

She soon won't be good for more than marrow paste.

She's my mother-in-law!

Take Mrs Interligator,

- that's all she wants!

- Quit yelling.

- It's charity.

- Please.

Interligator needs his wife.

And he's a good tenant he pays!

The damn rich always manage.

With your debts, you've no choice. Need I insist?

It's you, Julie...

You scared me.

Counting your money again?

Yes. Tell me...

It's rare to see you here.

That's nice of you.

Like your gift?

It must've cost you.

Anything to make you happy.

You've loved candy since you were little.

But I don't like it anymore.

Let him go.

You always ask that. It's the same thing each time.

No, this time...

So it is different.

Just look at you! I see his game.

Making your head spin with

his puppy eyes, his dreams...

- There's no room for dreams!

- Stop it!

It's a tough world, and I didn't make it.

You hate my trade.

It's an art like any other!

Let him go.

And you'll go with him? You won't last 2 weeks.

And I won't lose you.

You lost me long ago!

Julie!

An underground organization?

Hi, girl.

Guess what? We'll play a game.

I scare you, you scream,

and the clown upstairs

runs down to your rescue.

Shall we start?

What's wrong?

Don't just stare!

Scream, dammit!

You come from N.E. sector

just to bug us about your Mr Whosit's troubles?

Mr Louison.

Don't know him! No more names,

no more ID's. We're at war.

You're with outlaws!

He's Rolls. I'm January.

Voltange. Rolan. Tourneur. Milan. Trap.

Pank. Fox. Paumeau.

We watch out for moles, from up there.

You could be one!

I'm not a liar. It's true!

You, a surfacer, talk about truth?

Look.

Know what this is?

The shirt of our brother Matt.

Shot point blank like a rabbit.

That's truth!

Live game, that's what we are.

And you're mad predators.

- I'm not, I swear!

- You're one of them:

a meatsucker!

Is that the way you talk to ladies in your rat hole?

Careful! Oh, my God!

Tell Calamity Jane to straighten

out or hell 'll break loose.

Got it.

There's a month's harvest there.

Plus the risks involved.

- Matt died for that.

- Tell her.

Corn!

There's plenty in my building.

What's whosit look like?

His name's Louison.

The guy we're supposed to grab.

May I help you?

It's just an old coffee grinder.

Coffee? Some have it made!

So we went our for a walk last night?

A long one, too!

There's ruckus, there're screams...

This place is really hopping!

Your dad may work at night, but still!

Oh, Julie!

You okay?

Sorry, I was rehearsing a new number.

Wait!

Here...

Didn't you hear anything last night?

After your herbs, you kidding?

A teapot a night, as you prescribed.

I'll bring you more, you're almost out.

You should drink some, you look overwrought.

Cheer up, she died a natural death.

Come on.

Still,

I'd've liked to say goodbye.

We'll do that right now.

My poor Robert...

What made you rush into the stairs at night?

I did it for Aurore. I wanted to save her.

She wasn't the one who screamed!

Anyway... Here!

Still, I did it for her.

Besides, the butcher was very decent. He apologized.

lnvite you to dinner? Well, I haven't much...

Fine! We'll feel lighter.

Sharp! I'm very punctual.

Rather rare for a girl, no?

For a girl, you're rather rare!

I owe you a lot, you know.

Did you forgive?

Livingstone?

One must always forgive.

Depends. It's not always possible.

Don't say that. No one is entirely evil.

It's circumstance.

Or they don't realize they've done wrong.

What'd that girl say?

The girl!

Sector 3/4, 69 N.E.

Albumin Square, here!

Let's go!

Scout to Sauce-Master.

Heading to target, 69 N.E.

Sauce-Master to Scout,

read you, Roger.

Watch your steaks, guys!

Come, Aurore...

They are the Worm,

you are the Fruit!

Again? Shoot!

It's rather quiet.

No! Not Father's clubs!

Yes, your father's clubs!

See who's on TV tonight?

- I don't have a TV.

- Look!

That's your next customer, isn't it?

I'll be damned!

I've got to take off.

No offense, but allow me the right

to come back tonight

and pay my thoughts to your daughter.

Dangerous, what's that?

Audacious, we're that!

Courageous, I'll take three.

Generous, U, U, U and me!

corn located at site.

I repeat:
corn located.

- Proceeding with mission, phase B.

- Louison.

I repeat:
target, Louison.

An ambush!

Aurore, what's wrong now?

Georges...

Throw in your apron?

Now I've heard everything!

It's been on my mind a while... We're aging,

I'm losing my touch. And so many victims...

I feel sorry for them.

Sorry? That's not like you at all!
