When Juliette came to Paris

I was away with the other one.

On January 12, Cecile visited

her cousin Juliette. Why?

I sought help to make you marry me.

What did she tell you?

That a student shouldn't marry.

Talk it all out, together.

Why did she do that?

She wanted to make Valmont jealous

so as to get back at him.

Not too original.

You're suffering?

That's vanity for you!

He sacrificed you with true heroism.

I don't try to be witty...

I get even.

Long distance, please. Deauville.

Yes, I'll hold.

The Royal Inn? May I speak to...

What's the name again? Hello!

- I'll take you home now.

- But I'm having too much fun.

We don't want problems

with your parents now, do we?

So it's you again?

Valmont was right. You won't give up.

I don't feel like talking.

Read this.

Read it.

It's a letter from Valmont,

written to New York in January.

A detailed account

of winter nights spent with Cecile.

Quiet interesting

from the technical point of view.

Good style.

He has talent.

Don't you think?

You're even worse than he is.

It's over!

Where's my scarf?

You wrote this letter?

Yes, young man. My scarf...

You bastard!

- Me? I'm a gentleman.

- I'll break your face.

I've been kind to my wife,

doing what she asked me to do.

Kind to you also,

substituting for you with Cecile.

And kind to Cecile,

finding a father for our child.

Jealous Student Kills Diplomat

My poor baby,

I thought I'd be the one to tell you.

But you already know.

What are you doing, Marianne?

I packed his suitcase.

He'll have a surprise.

I'll be all set when he comes.

But he's dead.

He rented a little house...

with lots of flowers, roses.

Many roses...

And there's a little dog.

We'll go by ship.

It's on an island.

It's a pretty name.

"Reunion."

She'll be right here, Inspector.

Help!

Leave her alone! She's still a child!

Look at her.

Her face is the image of her soul.
