Les espions Page #5

- It's not shyness, it's...

- Fear.

A legitimate fear.

Somebody erases the prints I need.

You're nervous,

fearing there's one left.

Miss Conny, you don't think...

Mr Poirier, I'm warning you.

Those who try to get me, hit a snag.

And with me, snags are tough!

I went for a coffee in the bar opposite.

They were polite to me.

Too polite.

They were making fun of me.

There is a bastard here

who's betraying me.

- It's not me.

- Admit it now. It will cost you less.

- It's not me, I swear!

- Who is it, then?

You can never be sure but...

...this morning I saw him at the gate

talking to the barman.

What's the matter with this house?

People have been

coming and going all night.

They woke me up

banging on the door.

It's nothing, just a few repairs.

And I'm supposed to rest...

Mr Valette, I'm not responsible

for the noise outside.

Anyway, inside the house,

it's absolutely quiet.

I heard it! A shot!

Leave me alone.

I have other things to do!

No, stay there.

- Are you hurt?

- I fired. Someone tried to break in.

- Who?

- I didn't see. I shot through the door.

- Are you alone?

- Yes.

No, not any more.

While you were overdoing it downstairs,

someone tried to break in.

Are you there?

Where are you going?

I... Were you looking for me?

Anything wrong?

I thought you were watching

the door downstairs.

I was. I came up

when I heard the shot.

- Before or after?

- What?

- Before or after the shot?

- After, of course.

Of course. He let someone in.

There was a shot and he came up.

- I didn't let anyone in.

- Really?

- Then who shot who?

- I don't know.

I think you do.

- It's hot, isn't it?

- Not really. Why?

You have your jacket on your arm

so you must be too hot.

- Put it on. You'll catch a cold.

- No, I'm fine.

Do as you're told!

- It seems serious.

- One second, Doctor.

- Who do you work for?

- You. I wanted us to be the first to know.

- Take off that dirty towel.

- Later, Doctor. Thanks.

It's not possible.

Did I give you all that?

If you're working for us,

then she gave you that money.

I didn't know I was so generous.

I must have gone crazy.

My poor Lon, you failed.

You've been unlucky.

I can't afford to give presents.

- Come on!

- Let go!

Malic!

Come here.

Go, Doctor. He's calling you.

It was Lon.

I told you.

They're traitors.

They betray their country for the party,

then the party for the gang.

Then they betray the gang.

Every man for himself.

Doctor! Help!

Stay where you are!

Stay where you are.

Don't interfere with their business.

Open up!

They're going to kill me!

Please, let me out.

It's for your own good.

Sit down.

It's over.

They're always very fast.

It's terrible.

It's the job.

Tomorrow it may be my turn.

You'll find me here stone dead.

I can't stand it any more.

Come on, be brave.

Just another few days.

- No, that's it. I'm giving up!

- You can't.

- You signed a contract.

- A contract?

Yes, an excellent contract

with a company I won't name.

- I didn't sign anything.

- You didn't put your name on a paper.

But try to go back on your word

and you'll see what happens.

- Can't you help me?

- Nobody can help you. Nobody.

Sorry.

- A drink puts things straight, huh?

- Please!

It's hard at the beginning.

I still remember.

Red taxi... Submarine...

I was only twenty years old.

I fell into the career.

- I don't care!

- You're wrong.

- The experience of older people...

- It doesn't interest me.

- I'm sick of your stories.

- You want to break the contract?

- Isn't it my right?

- Legally yes, but in practice...

I've seen lots of contracts

but I never heard of a broken contract.

Except of course

by the contracting party's death.

- That's quite extreme.

- There are many examples.

We all know some. Little Montana

who wanted to get married.

- Gonzales who felt he was too old.

- Eliminated.

Look at them. If they could resign,

do you think they'd stick to this job?

And to break a contract,

you need to know who you signed it with.

- I know who.

- You think you know.

You've been contacted by someone

who had a name, real or false.

But he was just an intermediary.

Who did he work for?

- Three question marks.

- Maybe he didn't know either.

- It's the same for all of us.

- We've given up on knowing.

- And these men work in Intelligence.

- Well, they're not too smart.

On the contrary.

Mr Petersen is an excellent agent.

- You're still called Petersen?

- Helmut Petersen.

So Mr Petersen, who gave up

on knowing, who do you work for?

- Go on, talk.

- Of course, I know a representative.

A representative who lives in a certain

house and wears a certain uniform.

But does he work for this house

and this uniform?

Or for the competition?

That's the whole point.

Stop! You're too much for me.

I know the man I met was honest.

He didn't look like you.

- When I see him, I'll say...

- You already tried to contact him.

Have you forgotten?

The operator trick.

You'll never see him again.

Intelligence is a rat-trap.

To get in, the door is wide open,

but to get out... closed!

There's always a way out.

- If the door's closed, use the window.

- There are plenty of doors.

Doors that open onto other services,

judicial courts, prison.

And mainly onto other doors.

But never outside.

It's my problem!

Be careful, Malic.

Certain doors shouldn't be opened.

- Are you in trouble, Doctor?

- Absolutely not.

- But he was talking about prison.

- Rubbish!

Boy! Hey, boy!

Wait!

PUPIL MOINE SENIOR FORM

FRANOIS COPPE SCHOOL

SAINT-GERMAIN-EN LAYE

We never call a pupil during class

so as not to disturb his classmates.

But to meet a person like you, Doctor,

certainly has an educative value.

This way, please.

- Do you have any children, Doctor?

- No, I'm single.

It's a shame.

I will never sin again...

Troublemaker!

Sit down.

- It's him.

- I had time to see him.

He stayed for an hour.

He seemed lost.

I said, "there's no loony here."

Ask my wife, she'll recognise him.

He arrived at 11 pm.

There were six clients left.

Sorry, Doctor, I have to agree.

We run a decent bar.

We notice if someone's drunk.

Let me out, for God's sake!

Calm down.

Mr Malic, we're all friends here.

You lured me into a trap.

We only want to talk for five minutes.

We're all honest people.

- Is anybody here suspicious of you?

- Yes, you. You're one of them.

He's a good man. When I told him

who you were he understood immediately.

You said you were in Saint-Flour.

Was that another lie?

What a cheek! I came back because

Mr Cooper said you were in trouble.

Like an idiot I took the train

only to be called a liar by you!

- Why did you leave?

- Because you told me to.

Here.

I still have your letter.

It's my handwriting

but I didn't write a single line.

We are here to solve

all these mysteries.

Mrs Andr, when did you see

the doctor for the last time?

The night before my departure.

He had one million.

Shut up! You're violating
