The funeral?
When you are done with her.
Ready, Sir.
Set light to her.
You're going for a walk?
Good boy.
Down boy.
Ah yes,
I'd forgotten the key.
Listen Pierre Garen,
are you whining or playing?
OK, OK, I'll play.
I can't see the cards.
Damn.
Fifty.
Tell me where you've hidden
the little De Saxe girl, or I'm folding.
Each must do his own work.
See you.
I fill the boxes,
the work is too hard.
They leave it all to me.
You just tell the boss
you've found her and all's well.
If he wants to check?
Is that all?
Tell him, you were
at the top of the Arc de Triomphe,
and when she arrived,
you gave her a little push.
And whoops, over she went.
You mean the girl
is already dead?
No, this is a metonymy,
not a hypothesis.
If you don't understand,
I can't do anything.
He didn't understand for sure.
I understand only that
I've run out of money.
OK. We'll play something else.
The girl that's being
sent back to her family...
There are two hours left
before delivery.
What? She's being returned?
Have they already paid?
No. An error
in the quality of the goods.
We have contractors
devoid of merit.
Luxurious standard of living,
but in debt.
The bank refused the payment.
Oh, sh*t.
You see, they'll blame me.
My pockets are full.
The economic climate
is most unfavorable.
The banks are stopping their credit.
And then people
are more and more depraved.
I don't know where it will end.
I don't know what the clients
have done to the girl, up at the villa.
But it's nothing too orthodox.
In fact she's still a virgin.
Don't you believe me?
Hey, lads!
Bring the basket.
Virgin?
Very rare, today.
Almost offensive.
Ah, on this point,
I quite agree.
I'm a guy of normal appetites.
OK then,
let's play poker.
No.
Baccarat. Eh?
It's more in your line.
Baccarat.
Remove the packaging.
You're pigs!
Nothing but sick.
You bastards!
Those fools
must have forgotten the injection.
I'll get revenge.
I don't need the police.
I'll find that dump...
and with my friends we'll blow it up.
You're starting to bore us!
We're working here!
Baccarat.
That's it.
My friend has won.
He'll be the one
to proceed with your deflowering.
So you'll have at least
something to tell to your girlfriends.
Pierre Garen...
You are despicable!
I hate you!
Missionary position,
but tie her well.
All beautiful women,
young, rich.
This is the twelfth
for all we know,
and no one has yet
filed a complaint.
This suggests
that there are others.
Hundreds maybe.
- Classified information?
- Undoubtedly.
Perhaps we should
summarize the facts for the public.
Naturally.
I've even prepared a note.
'The script
seems always the same.
Acquaintances of the beautiful,
young lady X and young lady Y
cease abruptly
to see them in their surroundings.
When friends ask for news...'
- Perfectly.
'When friends ask for news
from the families,
amazed at such
an unexpected disappearance...'
Huh... unexpected...
'of missed appointments,
of continued absence
on the phone,
the father, or husband, bring out
apologies both nebulous and vague.
Forced rest, unannounced trips...
The last case
of which we are aware?
The last known case
is that of Diana Vandenberg.
Called to the phone, Tuesday evening
at the club what's-it-called,
never returned to her table,
not only was it that... she...'
What a way to write!
Such a precious style,
as if it wasn't already
difficult enough to understand.
'Not, only, was it that... she...'
In short 'She didn't return
to collect her personal belongings.
didn't even pass the cloakroom
To collect her fur...
animal unknown'
Her friends called...
the girl felt unwell,
and had to return home in a hurry.
But this time, there are witnesses.
Suspects, indeed.
Yes, two. Two men,
standing by the bar,
and who watch intently the girl,
Ahha, they've been noticed.
They were noticed by those present.
One was identified.
Amazingly,
it was the banker, Giorgio De Saxe
who would even pronounce
the fateful word: ransom.
- Good, let him in.
- Here he is, boss.
You were by chance at time X
on day Z, at club what's-it-called?
Yes... that is no...
Sorry, I don't remember.
Don't prevaricate sir.
Yes or no?
Maybe in a certain respect...
if I remember correctly.
- You go there often?
- No, never.
Incorrect!
That night you were there.
So what?
I mean to say that I don't frequent
that kind of place willingly...
Ahha! Then you had a special reason
for going that night.
Not at all,
It was purely by chance.
- And who were you with?
- I was alone.
Incorrect!
You were talking with someone.
- A casual acquaintance.
- And who was it?
I don't know.
Have you ever seen this girl?
- No.
- You've never seen her?
No, not at all.
Another thing.
very rare.
The teenager was shot once
in the Bois de Boulogne
with a weapon of this type.
Where do you keep the revolver?
- It's been stolen.
- When?
I don't know.
Thank you sir.
And if you have
other news on this case,
call Commissioner Loran.
All right.
- Financial, status?
- Precarious.
- Moral reputation?
- Very doubtful.
He's trying to get a large sum
for an unknown reason.
The father of Vandenberg
would pay any amount
To rescue his daughter.
Twenty percent.
Thirty per cent.
Taxes to be paid.
All right.
All right.
I've come to suggest a walk
Are you ready?
We must always be ready,
you know.
Very good, very good.
Then, let's go.
Shall we walk in the house?
- Oh, no, outside.
- In the garden?
- No no, in the country.
Ah, right.
And the dogs?
What dogs?
There are no dogs.
The gate isn't locked.
Of course not,
why would it be?
As a precaution
I've been told.
To only one who's a caution
occurs a precaution.
Ahha, mephitic wordplay.
We can go out like this,
freely?
To hear you speak like that,
one would take you for a prisoner.
So you've found my trail.
Happy?
Yeah, sure.
And little Carolina,
you know where she is?
Hitchhiking down at the crossroads.
She went in the hotel to telephone.
However I don't think
that will take long.
Well then, good luck.
Hello, this is Carolina.
Yes, there's been
a bit of a mix up.
A mistake from a typist
has led to the reversal
of some sequences.
But now it's all been tidied up
and everything's running smoothly.
I'll have a bag of cement shortly.
If there are no other mistakes.
Tell the public to relax.
Oh, no!
I've seen the back of you!
What a mess!
Within 17 minutes exactly,
I will deposit a bag containing
in a place provided
by the script,
The young lady was kidnapped?
Not exactly,
but the kidnappers believe so.
I thought I'd give you
the opportunity to arrest them.
Very kind of you.
Don't talk of it
even to the Commissioner,
just be on time because
it's a lot of money.
And money is expensive
