Why didn't you say it,

instead of confusing us?

That's what they do in show business.

And you don't know show business!

Shut up.

Johnny, may I get

your autograph, please?

For Janine.

- Who's Janine?

- His sister.

Hello, everyone.

Today's top news:

Johnny Hallyday.

The pop singer is still missing.

We now know he was kidnapped...

...the most daring

kidnapping in years.

The big question:

Why Johnny Hallyday?

Is it political...

- Happy?

- Terrific! Great start.

Biggest headlines

since the general died.

- What general?

- Bugeaud!

Le Monde:
"Johnny's fans

swear to find him. "

- Find you?

- Here!

L'Aurore:
"Why Johnny?"

Yes... why?

Combat:
"Johnny Hallyday,

or the political abduction. "

Terrific!

A one-track mind.

Make it to cash.

As long as we can all

get a share of that.

Your career is set for

the next 10 years...

...that's a modest estimate.

Easier than a bank.

- Who gets it?

- Him.

Your stunt isn't cheap.

A publicity campaign

would've cost 10 times more...

...with no headlines

or TV coverage.

How do you like

your new career?

I like it, but I need time

to get used to it.

The methods are new,

and I'm feeling old.

It looks like it's the wave

of the future.

Mr. Georges?

A call from Mr. Belley.

- Inspector Lamotte.

- Inspector Dufour.

- What is it?

- We need to talk to your boss.

Do you have

an appointment?

No, but tell him

it's personal and urgent.

One moment.

The police? What's it about?

It's personal.

Yes.

Last door in the hallway.

Come in, gentlemen.

- What's the problem?

- Inspector Lamotte.

Inspector Dufour.

We're sorry to bother you...

...but we've arrested this man.

He robbed some places

near here last night.

He came here, too.

What did he take?

- Came here?

- Yes, here, last night.

I haven't noticed

anything missing.

We're positive.

It can't be!

- It was here?

- Yeah, yeah! The safe.

The safe?

I just opened it.

Everything's fine!

Perhaps, but...

...better make sure,

for your security and ours.

Mistakes are so easily made.

Please make sure...

Of course, if you insist.

We're sorry to take up

your time, but...

A double-check

is better than one, right?

Oftentime,

you think you have...

...seen everything,

and then you realize...

...you haven't seen everything.

See? Nothing's missing!

Sit down, please.

- Sit down!

- What's this mean?

We'll explain.

Put your hands on your head...

...and look over there.

He was right,

nothing's been stolen.

He was absolutely right.

You were right.

Now, he's a little bit

less right.

No, no!

Look over there.

That's not very nice, sir!

Over there, I said.

- Conk him on the head!

- That's no place for it.

- You might need it!

- On the head!

No, he's very nice.

- Very polite.

- Very refined.

He's loaded, too!

It's a pleasure to deal

with a man like him.

I mean that!

- A man of distinction...

- Stand up, sir.

Go way over there...

...and kneel.

Good! Now, don't move.

Thank you!

There's some more

down there!

So there is!

Stupid of me to forget.

The plane for Asuncion.

You're late!

Too bad, it's on the runway.

- It's gone?

- It'll take off any second.

When's the next flight?

Tomorrow.

It's gone?

I'm sorry to bother you.

It's about your flight

AS 262 for Asuncion.

Quite by accident,

I've learned...

...that there's a bomb

in the rear luggage bay.

I called to warn you.

No, I can't give my name.

I'm a flight captain and...

No, be reasonable!

I can't give you my name.

At least, I've warned you.

Yes, a bomb.

A bomb.

B... As in boo-boo!

Did you miss

the Asuncion flight?

You're lucky.

It turned back...

...because of a technical problem.

Why don't you give me

your tickets?

- It turned back?

- Technical problem. Is it safe?

- Don't worry, just a check-up.

- It's not serious.

Shall I take your luggage?

- Heaven's on our side.

- We're lucky.

What's meant to be, will be.

Aldo's really getting fat!

What about the other bag!

First, this one under your arm!

You booked my suite?

With bath?

A suite with bath.

Stay behind me!

Behind me!

Who's the boss?

You, Don Maccione.

- You're ogling!

- No.

Cigarette!

Take my coat.

My sunglasses.

Moron!

Stay six feet behind me!

Or I'll send you back to Sicily!

Jackass!

Where are your brains?

What are you looking at?

- Nothing!

- At the girls!

Looking at girls!

Yes, you were.

- Want spaghetti?

- What kind?

- You name it... Ouch!

- Ouch, what?

- Don Maccione!

- Address me by my name.

Wake up, we're almost there!

What's that look for?

Nothing.

Don't forget

that I've met Juarez.

He says the ambassador

is a humanist.

He's wonderful and won't

give us any trouble.

- Coffee, Aldo!

- No coffee.

- No coffee?

- I forgot it.

Next time!

Lino, pass

the tanning lotion.

You drive me nuts

with your tanning lotion.

Why not a bubble bath?

Put your shirt on.

- Give me the lotion.

- You clown!

Listen, Simon.

- I'm fed up with picnics.

- Me, too.

Fine! If there's no news

tomorrow, we go home.

There will be.

How old is your wife?

She's 25-26.

How old?

- 26.

- Then say so.

- You lucky bastard!

- We should've kidnapped her.

- His wife?

- Sure.

Any children?

A girl and a boy.

How much do you make?

- Could be interesting.

- How much per month?

- How much?

- 1,5 million pesos.

Tell me in dollars.

You divide by four

and take away...

- So that's...

- $4,000.

- How much?

- $4,000.

- He earns more than me!

- And lots more than me.

But I get room and board.

Olvidados calling Manou.

Can you hear me?

Hello, this is Manou.

Mike Alpha November,

Whisky Oscar Oscar.

I read you loud and clear.

That button.

Calling Manou,

can you hear me?

Loud and clear.

The government is convinced

the ambassador's already dead.

They refuse to exchange

the 30 prisoners.

Send proof

he's still alive.

If they don't comply

by midnight...

...execute the hostage. Out.

Got the message. Out.

Sit down.

Midnight!

What about the time difference?

- Midnight here, or where?

- Midnight here.

- How do you know?

- It's midnight here.

I insist on one thing, Simon.

We've got to send proof

that he's alive.

We'll take his picture.

That's what we planned.

And you think that will work!

- How'll you send it?

- How about the mule?

Come with me.

Stand over there.

Please, don't move.

Aldo! My glasses.

Don't move.

These glasses?

Put your jacket on, Pops.

Ambassadors wear jackets.

Let's go. Hurry up!

- He needs a shave.

- Out of the way!

Come on, be nice,

give us a smile.

- The smile makes the man.

- That's not original.

No, but I like it.

The mule's gone.

Who tied it up last?

- I just saw it.

- No mule, no picture.

Cut it out, Jacques!

Now... Hold it.

I hate to butt in...

...but these ruins are

known to everybody...

...even dumb cops.

Might as well draw a map!
