Police Python 357 Page #3

---

They were never seen

under 50 kilometres away.

Got a cigarette?

You've started again?

Read me the Paris file again.

''Leopardi Silvia Magdalena.

''Arrested 20 December 1968

for drug use.

''On leaving prison,

married Ren Breuil in Paris 5,

''5 convictions for pimping.

''Silvia Breuil then works as

a prostitute in the 8th district.

''Suicide attempt, barbiturates,

''protected in hospital, divorce.''

Then there's a sudden change.

She starts working normally.

''Leaves Paris for Orlans.

lrreproachable conduct for 5 years.''

When you change that much,

someone has made you change.

That's who interests me.

So we're looking for a gentleman,

not a pimp.

Don't be abstruse, Mnard.

Nobody is 100% good or 100% pimp.

Very effective, the paper number.

You have customers upstairs.

lt'd take 3 people all day.

You see to it.

l've too much work.

We do all the work.

Look, we all have our job to do.

Check out your gossip mongers.

l'll see those

with something to say.

She pretended to come from Paris.

l was closing.

She said to the man who met her...

Man?

dark.

Like a ticket inspector l knew

when l worked on the Brittany line.

His double:
double-locked.

Awoman saw the victim

and the suspect in a public garden.

They rowed and split up.

Two minutes later, she returned.

He followed her, hiding.

He wanted to kill her then.

Come and see. lt fits.

Don't forget the break-up letter.

Hours later, he was still following.

Fine tailing.

-Are you hurt?

- No, it's nothing.

You finish,

l'll go to the infirmary.

Awitness saw them in his field.

They fired shots.

- He saw the man?

- No, just the girl.

Still the same grey 404.

-What were they shooting at?

- She shot and killed a pheasant.

- Did you find the bullets?

- No! lt was in bits.

No interest.

You don't smash pheasant

with just any gun.

My 38 would just make a big hole.

A good guy helps her out.

He has a gun, they row.

She says she lives in Paris,

he follows her. No, it doesn't fit!

There are two guys.

You're sticking to this.

l've just heard of one man!

The guy they all saw

doesn't have to be the murderer!

Who are we looking for?

l know no better than you.

We need to have a confrontation

with you.

A phot0-fit.

Yes.

The Alsatian's girl.

Bastard!

Just because he gives me leads.

Quick, to the hospital.

l'll see to the Alsatian.

Hello, inspector.

Learnt how to use vitriol now?

No more spattering?

What's wrong, inspector?

Problems?

- Bastard!

-What's wrong? Calm down.

He's crazy.

Let's get out of here!

Come on, hurry.

Get in!

Stop!

Leave him.

He's done nothing.

Calm down, for God's sake!

Listen to me.

The girl has come round.

One ofher clients did it,

a madman.

He told the police everything

when she was found.

What got into you?

The Alsatian's insinuating things

about you.

- Because l was using him?

- Easy, l don't like that.

Has he reported me?

Not this time.

We calmed him down.

Right. And the Leopardi case?

Ren Breuil, her ex-husband.

Questioning revealed nothing.

This is what we have on the suspect.

He had a weapon,

drove a grey 404.

The man and the victim

met secretly in town

but were seen at the station.

The station?

She travelled with him?

No. She pretended

to arrive from Paris.

She was scared of him?

Or someone else.

Also a stroll the afternoon

of the murder.

They had a big row

in a public garden.

And he was seen tailing her

to herhome.

Well, that's something.

lt's logical. Ajealous guy.

Looking to kill her.

Or to find out something.

Was she hiding someone else?

Someone else?

Take the case offhim.

- On what pretext?

- l'm telling you to.

He has his intuition.

But there's nothing to find.

What if he finds out about

her arrest, with Breuil?

You know l met Silvia

a long time later.

By chance.

You like this, don't you?

Letting Ferrot go like this

is dangerous.

And that's what you like.

May l?

To Marc. Sylvia

Ren Breuil verdict - 20 years

A neighbour heard a noise.

They entered via the roof.

The seals are intact.

What were they looking for?

Maybe nothing.

You'll see the mess.

The work of a madman.

Same as the murder.

Stop here.

l'll only be 30 seconds.

- Buy some gum for the boy.

- OK.

ln the food section,

pasta with Lustucru sauce.

ln one packet, fresh egg pasta

and a fine sauce

prepared by Lustucru.

He's been seen in the store.

A guy called us from gate 1.

Who called?

The ticket inspector we interviewed.

l didn't see him.

- Let's hope it's not a joke.

- Cash desk 25.

Check the checkouts.

You, block the exits.

Look at customers, me?

An abandoned trolley.

He must have tailed him.

You stay here.

Take all their details.

Yes, Mnard?

The supermarket witness

was the ticket inspector.

He's in hospital.

The suspect hit him twice.

Warn all witnesses

to watch themselves.

Has he talked?

No. The doctors won't let us

talk to him till noon.

Right. Noon?

You could have called, Mnard.

l'm picking up Etienne

from catechism...

Sorry to have bothered you.

Don't forget:
noon tomorrow.

Calling all cars.

occupation of the Delmotte plant.

Fight between pickets and security.

Rivire 18 to Germaine.

Put Mnard on.

Ferrot? Where have you been?

We can just get to the hospital.

The inspector remembers the guy

perfectly.

- l'll call at Delmotte first.

- There are men there.

lt's on my way.

l'll be on time.

As you wish.

is enough.!

- Let me see the boss.

- He's being held. No one enters.

Where is he?

We're waiting on x-rays.

-What was he up to?

- How do l know?

l was upstairs

with the supermarket witness.

He's never where he should be.

- He's always been like that.

- Not this bad!

lt's the Leopardi case.

He's hell-bent on his theory

of the second man.

Two lovers hiding doesn't imply

a third party. lt could be anything.

- He's found nothing yet?

- How do l know?

l'm bringing up the rear!

He wants you out?

We've never been

to the flat together.

He won't see witnesses

or come to the confrontation.

Sorry, sir, but l'm sick ofit!

The suspect is tidying up

behind him!

Calm down, we'll sort it out.

No, Mr Ganay, still nothing.

But l'm listening.

Why did a second man change her life?

Why not our suspect?

- There are two.

- lt's becoming an obsession!

There's a suspect.

Let's investigate properly.

Fine, sir.

Get up when the doctors say so.

Thank you, sir.

Mnard, until our friend is better,

you will replace him.

Very good, sir.

l'm fine. Let me carry on, sir.

Rest. That's an order.

So Silvia gave him my watch

so you'd understand

that it was over.

Him, Ferrot!

Yes.

Of course.

Another orphan, like her.

And a cop.

Oh, she attracted cops.

She couldn't do without them.

Good. lt'll be easier for you

to get rid ofhim.

Yes, he'll be easier to confound.

l didn't say that.

You're right, Thrse,

but everything points to him.

Description, silence, weapon,

the supermarket...

Yes, but he is innocent.
