Good bye.

- You slept well, baby?

- Yes. What about you?

So so.

- Not coming back to bed?

- No, I've got work.

You told me we'd go get

my things together.

- You'll take them back in a taxi.

- You keep me with you...

I've got to.

- Tell me, babe

- Yes.

- If I get in a jam...

- What sort of jam?

Nothing... I'll tell

you more later...

You act strange sometimes, Henri.

I wonder...

Don't wonder too much, honey.

I own "le troquet" and that's it.

- La rue de Montceau, please?

- You're asking?

- Rue de Montceau.

- Henri the nantais?

Yes. Get in.

Well... What do you want to know?

I was told you were in charge.

I'd like to see a couple of

your retailers. It's a problem?

- Why d'you want to see them?

- You think I find it fun?

Do I try to know where the

stuff is coming from?

I act for the Big Boss. And there

are not enough sales

I have to make things move.

What are you interested in?

White or black? I do both.

- Both.

- Let's start with Lichian. He deals in black.

- Where does your Lichian live?

- Rue de Lisbonne

Don't push him

too hard. He'd take offense.

Hello, Lichian.

I'm bringing a very good friend.

He wants to talk about your trade.

Your providers complain. They want

you to buy more. Else...

- Else?

- No more junk!

So, you choose. Either you order

double or I forbid your being delivered.

But the stuff is expensive.

Customers are scarce.

My dealers don't order much.

Their customers are poor.

- You must understand.

- I don't give a damn. What I want

is that you'd buy more.

As for the rest...

Don't forget that out of a kilo

of opium, only a third can be smoked.

At 80 thou a kilo of raw black,

it's a very expensive passion.

You don't think we'd lower

our prices. We have expenses.

Where's your opium den?

In the past they were more numerous.

I was doing all right. Now...

- Your dealers?

- For them, it's worse.

That's why I'm asking.

I want to see one.

That won't be possible.

Only I know them.

- I'm telling you I want to see one.

- No, I'm sorry.

I'm telling you I want

to see one. Give me an address.

No.

Give me an address!

128 rue de Chalon. Oh Yen.

Are you coming?

Don't worry. I'll come by tomorrow.

Is that what you call

not pushing people?

You're coming or not?

Why do you want to see the dealers?

- Lichian says it's worse for them.

I want to know why.

- So are you coming?

- No.

O.k. then. Kenavo!

(good bye in breton)

Yes, it's a good idea.

But you must be quick!

O.K. but hurry up. I'm going

back to "le troquet" at once. Bye.

Hi, baby. You're all right?

Business was good tonight?

Somewhat crowded, huh?

We'd like to talk

to you. You've got time?

Sit down.

- Something wrong?

- Read this.

SETBACK FOR THE DRUGS GANG

U.S. drugs dealer Big Rossillio arrested

40 kilos of heroin seized

in a ship by Le Havre police

Yeah... As you say.

Lisky would like to know your opinion.

He finds it strange. Don't you?

- What do you mean?

- Nothing.

Lisky wants to

talk to you. Now.

Where is Lisky?

At his place?

Certainly not. Anyway,

we don't know where his place is.

But don't worry,

he wants to see you.

You'll tell him that he wants to see

me, he can demand it himself.

I do know his address.

No use sending people for me. Got it?

Here's the Law!

Don't stop. Go on playing.

Nobody moves.

Stay where you are.

- Hey. Slowly. Business man!

- So am I!

Papers!

- What are you?

- A shame for my parents!

Trying to be funny?

Hey there!

- What did you hide under there?

- I? Nothing.

Nothing? May I?

- You dirty pervert!

- Still warm!

Search this guy!

He may be a sales rep for weapons!

Hey, Chopin! stop shooting.

- Who's the boss here?

- Not me!

- I'm not asking you if you are...

- I am the boss. What's wrong?

- Your ID card!

- My papers? Why? I'm a restaurateur.

Your ID! Come on!

- Give me my ID card!

- You'll get it back up there.

- What do you mean?

- I'm taking you in.

Really?...

- You've got all the ID's, guys?

- Yes boss. We give the cards back?

No, we're taking all these nice people

in. We'll check at home.

- The women too?

- I said all of them.

Two English tourists.

What shall we do?

- Apologize.

- O.k. boss.

Come on, let's go!

You're coming too!

Don't touch me!

- Excuse me!

- Where are you going?

My car's there!

We've found a car for you.

With a driver too!

- I hope my car won't be stolen.

- You'll pinch another one!

I'd like to know why I'm

held here.

You'll be told!

Detectives office!

- He was trying to hide his piece!

- Detectives office!

- What about me, Captain?

- Check the lady. If everything's in order

send her away.

- What about my man?

He's going to fall for carrying.

You want him to fall as a pimp too?

A pimp? But he's got a job...

He's a metal worker!

- Yeah, sure!

No "Srie Noire" in here!

- What? You don't like my face?

- A wise guy! Take him with the others!

And what do I do?

I've got nothing to do with those guys.

I'll give you reasons to shout...

Take this one with the others...

And this one too!

- What were you doing in Le Havre

two days ago?

Me? In Le Havre.

You're kidding...

Yeah... I do nothing else.

You were seen at the "Select bar"...

- No, no.

- A snitch told us. Don't be stubborn.

- Come on. Stop it. I told

you I don't know the select bar.

There's too much light.

Switch it off, Lecharme.

- And those? You know them?

- No, I don't know these guys.

You're a real pain in the ass!

I'm fed up with all that!

You'll spill it. We're wasting time.

Who are you working for?

- Who made you come back from the U.S.?

- Who's the boss?

- Where's the opium coming from?

- The Balkans, right?

- Yugoslavia...

- Where's your lab?

- Where did you stay in Le Havre?

- You weren't registered in any hotel.

Go to hell!

The son of a b*tch!

What about this one?

Take him with the others.

- I want to know the relationship

between those two.

And with Ferret.

They were seen together.

Listen, captain. We've got nothing

to do with all that

You can speak with a guy

without knowing what he does.

I don't know him. We go to "le troquet"

because the food's good.

That's right. We'd be

glad to invite you there.

That's it. We'll

have a little chat together.

As soon as Ferret is better,

go on questioning him. He must talk

and he will talk. Even if we

must stay awake for 2 days. Hear me?

I've witnessed the whole hullaballoo.

He didn't chicken out

So of course he got

a thorough trashing.

They should not keep him

over 48 hours. It's in the constitution.

- Well they really beat you up!

- The swines didn't miss me.

Afterwards they said it

was a mistake and they apologized.

I'm going up. I'm feeling...

Give me a mirror.

- I look real nice!

- I'll take care of that.

Everything went fine, sweetheart?

- Yes.

Don't worry! That's nothing!

I was frightened they'd keep you in.

- It's over!

- They'll never come back?

- No, don't worry!

- Le troquet works fine...

- It does...
