Nothing good can be expected there.

- All right, I'll go now.

- You won't have a quick bite?

No, thanks. I'm

not hungry. I'm sleepy.

I can drive you home.

My wheels are still there.

I'd like that, Mr Henri.

I won't have to pay for a taxi.

- Where do you live?

- Rue Geoffroy.

Let's go!

You've got swanky taste, honey.

Rue Geoffroy... That's a nice area.

I like it there.

It's a quiet street.

And I've been living there

such a long time.

You know what's it's like...

You get used to things and...

How old are you, Lisette?

22, why are you asking?

No reason.

- Here it is?

- Yes.

- You live alone?

- Yes, a room on the 6th floor.

You have no family?

No. My father died

and my mother remarried.

No boyfriend either?

Why are you laughing?

A nice piece like you could

have a Romeo...

I've got nothing, neither

clothes nor toothbrush...

Don't worry, you'll find

all those tools upstairs.

Too much light?

Don't tell me you've

still got your cherry. Have you?

I'm not saying anything.

Thinking you're worried about

a toothbrush with such chewers...

Give me another smile

so that I can watch them...

Clothes? Why would you want

to put all this in clothes?

There's a small clip at the top...

- Birot?

- Yes.

- Henri from Nantes

- My husband's expecting you.

- Henri from Nantes.

- I was expecting you.

- Everything's ready?

- Yes.

- How much?

- I made 50 kilos of white junk. Will it do?

Yes, I'll take 40 now,

I have a big shipment due,

the other 10 you'll give

to the carriers. They've been told.

Ah yes... Raymond and Lucien have

already taken a kilo each.

I have 8 left.

Where do you work?

There!

You know the carriers must

not have more than one kilo.

I remember the orders. Trust me.

That way they're not tempted

to split with it.

How long ago did you get

the 50 kilos of morphine base?

I... got them... last saturday.

Process it quickly. I have another

big shipment soon.

- All white junk?

- Yes, all white junk.

- No need for morphine?

- Not at the time.

But make some junk.

Let's see... One fifth loss...

40 kilos... That will do for now.

But you work day and night.

I need them as soon as possible.

- Got it?

- Of course, Mr Henri.

- You're sending it to England?

- Mind your own business.

Excuse me.

- The acids!

- Yes I know that.

- You've got my parcel?

- Yeah, it's upstairs.

- I made 410-kilo packages. O.K.?

- Yeah.

Probably one of the carriers.

- It's Marcel!

- Open up.

- You want to see him?

- No, give me the packages. I'll be off.

Everything's here.

- Hi.

- Your second package must be ready.

You make me laugh.

Why not more than one kilo at a time?

It would avoid making so many trips.

- I'm fed up pedalling!

- I obey orders.

Solange, open the door!

Is that all you're telling me?

I've been waiting for you,

Mr Henri. I shouldn't have?

Getting formal with me now?

I've cooked something.

I thought you might be hungry.

You were right. I am hungry.

Mr Roger the catalan and his friend

came 3 times tonight.

- They did?

- They said they'd come again later.

- Though this late...

- You don't feel like some...

No, thanks. I had dinner

with the staff.

And it's late. I must leave.

- Where do you want to go?

- Home, rue Jouffroy.

Really?

Come sit here...

You had a good trip?

Give me something to drink.

Business was good tonight?

Not so bad!

The bar worked well?

Not so bad.

Go up to bed.

Don't wait for me.

What's up? Trouble?

- Sort of...

- Birot gave 5 kilos of junk to a carrier.

Sh*t! I'd reminded him the rules.

Yes but he's been snowed up

so much he's getting goofy.

- The carrier must have sweet talked him..

- Which one?

Marcel, the bike-rider.

He's hooked the whole lot.

The scum! You must try to find

him and the stuff too.

That's what Paul said.

But we need your help.

The guy will try to sell

the stuff and get in touch with dealers.

- I could do with a drink!

- So would I.

Go get two glasses at the bar.

- You don't want a plate to chew?

- No, I'm fine.

5 kilos! That's quite a lot!

- You don't say! a lot!

- Pass a knife, I'll have some pt.

You can't unload it like a handful

of beans. That's why

we have a chance to get it back.

Maybe. But afterwards

we'll have to take care of Birot.

- Lisky's order.

- Come on, you won't bump Birot off.

He's a jerk, right.

But he's a real expert.

What would Lisky do without him?

A chemistry engineer is not as

easy to find as a kick in the ass

Don't worry about yoour scientist,

Henri, we're not going to chew him up

we'll only teach him a lesson...

not a final one..

You take care of Birot, I'll

go look for Marcel. All right?

- Yes but...

- But Paul said you must stay with us.

You do as I say. It'll be faster.

I'll give a few phone calls and

I'll find that Marcel. Don't you worry.

- Let's do it that way.

- So we go to Birot's?

Yes but go easy...

Don't make mince meat out of him!

Come on, let's go.

You've come to see Birot?

This late?

What is it?

Well... What's wrong?

- We must have a few words.

- It's about...

As you say, a**hole!

Thugs! Murderers! Leave him

alone. Can't you see he's sick?

Wait! We'll find a cure!

You'll remember. Never

more than a kilo at once.

Leave her alone!

leave her alone! you hear me?

She does want!

Leave her alone!

Shut your mouth!

- It's rolling downstairs?

- It's rolling. You can go down.

7 wins!

Banco!

The gentleman says banco!

I'm with you.

No, banco alone.

You've got to show the dough, buddy.

This is not Deauville here.

Quiet, Victor!

Next one!

32 grand.

- You're in shape, buddy.

- I'm not complaining.

You want to bet on my hand?

I've got a lucky streak.

Why not? When it's your turn,

you'll roll it for both of us.

- How much do you want to start with?

- I don't know, 3 thou each...

If it works, we'll up it.

You go first, sonny.

Go first, I said.

11 wins!

Where are you taking me?

You will take me where

you hid the 5 kilos...

What are you doing here?

We wanted to see if it was

rolling downstairs.

You bet it does. I just

got our joker here.

- What about the junk?

- He was taking me there.

- We're going with you.

- Yeah, but I've got my car there.

Ride with us. We'll drive you back.

So... where's the stuff?

- Where's the other one?

- I sold it.

- Who to?

- Some guy. Don't know his name.

You take me for a sucker?

- It was a wholesale dealer.

- What's he called?

- Fredo?

- No.

- Little Jean?

Charlie Suitcase?

No.

- As you like.

- Don't shoot.

- Who is he?

- Fredo.

Pass the towel.

- What are you waiting for?

- I'm staying here.

Come. The big boss wants to see you.

- Get in, Henri.

- We've got to take him with us.

Don't worry.

Get in, Goddamn it, get in.

Yes... Dastot? Wait a second.

I'm going in the other room.

I'm listening...

Hey. There was nothing

I could do.

Of course. Had I known...

Of course, I'm right.

I'll do my best.

You have my word.

All right.
