Judex Page #3

said his name was Judex.

Judex...

Who are you?

Where is Vallires?

Stay away from me.

Don't be afraid. I am Vallires.

But my daughter...

Why isn't she here?

She is safer in Loisy

where my men are watching over her.

Your men?

Judex...

Listen to me, I beg you.

I am not your enemy.

You must know that.

Leave me alone.

You killed my father.

No, Jacqueline, he's alive.

Alive?

Yes, I wanted to kill him.

I could have done it

without arousing any suspicion.

But I wasn't able to.

Because of you.

BUT WHAT BECAME:

OF DETECTIVE COCANTIN?

"The coffin was empty.

"With a cry of rage,

the two nuns recoiled...

"...as the coffin fell to the ground.

" 'Who are you?'

Cried out one of the nuns...

"...as she suddenly threatened

the other with a gun.

"The other nun also brandished a gun.

" 'Drop the masks!', she said imperiously.

"With their left hands, the two nuns

pulled off their headdresses.

"Cries of hatred escaped their lips.

" 'Juve!' 'Fantmas!' "

What is it now?

Sir, this kid...

Cheeky!

Detective Cocantin, please.

That's me, kid.

What do you want to tell me?

This woman here is the nun

who kidnapped Alice's mother...

...in the ambulance.

When the real nurses came back

to the village, they were a mess.

Alice said it was her governess and...

Marie-Jeanne knew you were...

- What are you again?

- I'm a detective.

Yes. She said you were a detective...

...and you were at Alice's mother's

chteau when she was rich.

I'm not following your story. Wait...

That's Mrs. Aubry and Miss Verdier.

- Leave us, please.

- Yes, go away.

Try to be a bit clearer.

What's the connection between

Miss Verdier and this kidnapping?

That's Alice's governess.

It was on Marie-Jeanne's mantelpiece.

She's the nun in the ambulance who took

Alice's mother away after she drowned.

What's all this about nuns?

You're sure about the address?

I'm telling you,

Marie-Jeanne said it was here.

I was so happy with you.

Why did this have to spoil everything?

You know I still love you, don't you?

Nothing has changed for me.

No, it's over.

I won't be able to trust you any more.

We can start over.

We can forget about all this.

Leave me alone.

Can't you see I'm unhappy

and don't want to see you any more?

Leave me and go.

Go and find your darling daddy

since he means so much to you.

My father told me where Favraux is.

I know how to get to him.

It's her.

See you tomorrow.

We'll take the Cte des Moines.

From tomorrow morning

I'll be tailing you, sweetheart.

- Me, too.

- No, you stay at my place.

This could be dangerous.

Come on.

Careful. I'm being followed.

- I don't understand.

- Oh, it's Mr. Cocantin.

The detective wants to know

what's going on. Let's take him with us.

Keep an eye on him, Mora.

I'll hide the car.

Get out.

THAT EVENING,

THANKS TO JUDEX...

...JACQUELINE WEN TO FIND HER FATHER.

Don't waste time saying anything.

Go straight to Loisy and round up

some men. Await my orders there.

Come with me, Cocantin.

Your father has been kidnapped.

I promised I'd get him back to you

and I will keep my promise.

- Is that all you heard?

- Just the name of the town.

I think he was talking about

a house that's about to be pulled down.

It must be here.

Where's he appeared from?

- Well, well!

- What are you doing here?

I came with the crooks.

I know where they are.

- Come on, get in

- I hid in the boot. They're over there.

That's where they are.

They've locked themselves in.

Call Loisy and tell them where we are.

Call Loisy.

Call Loisy.

We'll go into hiding for a while.

When Judex has lost all trace of you,

you can reappear.

You will get your name

and your fortune back.

My brother and I will help you.

You will be rich and powerful again.

No, my dear Marie, that's impossible.

My alleged death suits

too many people...

...some of them quite influential.

I'm ashamed to admit it,

but... I was hated.

If I came back,

I would not stay alive for long.

There is too much at stake.

All I ask for is to live...

...a free man and to be left alone

with my daughter and granddaughter.

Mr. Favraux,

you once asked me to marry you.

I only hesitated

because of your vast fortune.

Now... I can say yes.

Marie... Marie...

Judex...

He won't have come alone.

The others might already be inside

or on the roof. Go and see.

Mr. Favraux,

it could be a long night.

Get some rest.

There's a bed next door.

What about you, Marie?

Don't worry about me.

I'll keep watch here with my brother.

When I get tired,

you can come and take over.

Morales is a coward.

He'd drop me the first chance he got.

I don't want him any more.

I need a man like you.

Favraux knows some things

that are worth a fortune.

I know how to get him to talk.

Think of what we could do together.

You and I...

Your loss, you fool!

It's to stop him shouting out.

Come next door.

DAISY'S CIRCUS

Daisy!

Daisy!

Cocantin!

Stop!

- I'm so happy to see you again.

- Come this way.

You know my uncle, the lion tamer,

that brute who wanted me to be happy?

Well, the lions ate him.

- Now I'm free.

- Oh, Daisy.

What are you doing here?

I'm waiting for a friend

who is up there and in danger.

But you must help him.

I can't. I'm no acrobat.

He's lucky he can sleep.

I'm telling you,

we should get away from here.

His men could find us any minute.

We'll end up trapped in this place.

You might be right.

Get the car and bring it round to

the door leading onto the waste ground.

Judex...

Stop!

Hands up and don't move.

One move and you're dead.

You'll never get me again,

Judex, never.

For the last time, Favraux,

give yourself up.

If not, I'll break the door down.

A HOMAGE TO LOUIS FEUILLADE

IN MEMORY OF AN UNHAPPY TIME
