So he wants to cut it off

just like that?

He doesn't think

you can handle it.

The arrangements have been concluded.

I gave them my word

because he gave me his word.

Tell me why.

You know why.

You're not strong anymore.

You lost control.

You tell him this.

Nothing has changed.

We've had a few setbacks.

That's to be expected in any business.

But I am still in charge,

and I am still strong!

Make no mistake.

You tell him

he had better keep his word.

Tell him the 25th as agreed.

I'll send him a sign,

a little demonstration...

to prove that I'm still strong.

- Good afternoon, Mr. Douvier.

- Good afternoon, Simone.

- Any calls?

- On your desk.

What's this "Dr. Herb called"?

That's your yearly checkup,

Tuesday at 4:
30.

Okay. Is New York going to call back?

Between 5:
00 and 6:00.

Good.

Everybody else here?

Yes. In the boardroom.

I don't think we should

keep them waiting any longer.

- Will I see you tonight?

- Of course, Miss Le Gree.

Gentlemen, we have a problem.

The Gannet transaction

is in jeopardy...

because New York seems to feel

I no longer have...

the power to control

the situation.

So I have sent word...

that I will give them

a demonstration, a sign...

to show that I am still in control.

That France is still

a viable territory.

What I want from you,

are suggestions.

I have an idea.

All right.

Would you ask your secretary

to bring in the morning paper?

- Would you bring in the morning paper?

- Right away, sir.

Who is the most important man

in France today?

Present company excluded, of course.

Thank you.

- The president, I suppose.

- For our purpose.

A man New York knows even better

than the president of France.

A man with which our entire

world organization is familiar...

and would like nothing better

than to see him out of the way.

Who?

Who has given us nothing but trouble

for the past ten years?

Who has survived

Including two by his own boss.

Clouseau.

You want to impress New York,

eliminate Clouseau.

Eliminate Clouseau and we'll have

every cop in France down on our necks.

Not if we do it smart.

There is a rumor

that he is really a complete imbecile.

I've heard that.

Yet he continues to survive.

I have it on good authority

that he is anything but an imbecile.

That he only plays at the fool.

In any case, it is too dangerous.

Can you do it smart?

Yes.

Do it.

Balls?

Inspector Clouseau!

My dear Chief lnspector Clouseau!

How I have missed you!

How we have missed you!

Your disguise is ready for the

final fitting. You'll be very pleased.

Cunny! Quick! Quick!

lnspector Clouseau is here!

I noticed you have

some very interesting new noses.

I will model them for you.

Cunny, get on with it!

I will bring you one right away.

- There were some on the left.

- Yes, yes.

The final fitting.

I call this one "Wino and Roses."

Magnificent.

Even though I say so myself.

This is no small feat.

Now you can work the Left Bank

and Montmartre with anonymity.

Yes. The old anonymity ploy.

That's it!

You can do it, lnspector!

Chief lnspector.

You can walk, Chief lnspector.

You can walk!

Yes! Yes!

You are a genius, Balls.

I can! I can walk!

Thank heavens

For little girls

They keep on getting smaller

every day

Yes?

A special delivery.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. I'm a little short.

Forget it.

Special delivery. A bomb.

Were you expecting one?

A bomb?

Yes?

What?

Right.

What's the matter?

The bomb destroyed half the block,

and Clouseau survived.

I am certain, sir,

that the bomb was intended for me.

- Bomb?

- What?

- You said, "bomb."

- Yes, yes.

Fortunately, Professor Balls...

took refuge behind a new shipment

of inflatable goiters...

which cushioned the force

of the explosion.

Inflatable goiters?

Yes. His Valentine's Day collection.

It's amazing that you survived.

Yes, yes.

I must apprehend this mad bomber...

before he does any more

of the damage in here.

Or she.

- "Or she"?

- A man dressed as a woman.

"Four armed robberies in three weeks.

Two of the victims were assaulted

and grappled with the robber.

Both the victims felt the robber

was much too strong to be a woman.

Three years ago, we sent to prison

a man named Claude Russo.

Russo committed robberies

disguised as a woman."

Well, sir,

I must be off to apprehend...

this mad bomber now.

Remember, it just could be Russo.

Yes, it just could be Russo. Yes.

- Yes. I just said that.

- Yes, I know that. Yes, sir.

Well, sir, until we meet again,

and the case is solved.

Fire!

You may not have seen

these gentlemen before...

but they have at one time or another

worked for you.

And needless to say,

they are specialists.

The best in France.

And you expect them

to take care of Clouseau?

Oh, no. They've been contracted

to eliminate Mr. Chong.

Who is Mr. Chong?

Mr. Chong was recommended

by Hong Kong.

Gentlemen, fulfill your contracts.

Why don't you get out of those

wet clothes? You could catch pneumonia.

Yes, I know that.

I will as soon as I get home provided

idiot Cato does not attack me first.

Why don't you tell him not to?

Believe me, it's not that easy.

I gave him instructions to attack me

wherever and whenever possible.

And it has now become a matter of pride

with him to try to outsmart me.

I guarantee that at this very minute

his fiendish yellow brain...

is plotting some new ambush.

Yes, I know that.

Cato?

Pay attention!

This is your employer speaking.

I am canceling the attack orders

for tonight.

Do you understand?

I know that I told you

to show no mercy...

and to attack

and to pay no attention to what I say.

But tonight--

But tonight...

I am ordering you

to pay attention!

You will not attack, Cato!

Shut up that row!

I am trying to save my life,

madam.

Obviously the little yellow slime

is not paying attention.

It's a very substantial building,

but we're doing a great deal to it.

I'm sure when it's finished,

you'll find it peaceful and delightful.

Chief lnspector Clouseau's residence.

One moment, please.

For you.

What on earth is going on?

Excuse me, madame and messieurs.

I beg your pardon.

I am so sorry.

It's still for you.

Chief lnspector.

Pardon me.

I am needed on the phone.

Hello?

This is Chief lnspector Clouseau

speaking on the phone.

Listen to me carefully.

If you want to catch

the French Connection...

meet me tonight at 11:00...

in the Bois de Bologne

near the Grande Cascade.

And come alone.

That's so obvious,

he's bound to think it's a trap.

Yes, or it's so obvious that he's bound

to think it can't be a trap.

It's so obvious,

it's bound to be a trap.

That is why you will never be

a great detective.

It's so obvious,

it could not possibly be a trap.

Now, Cato, warm up the Silver Hornet.

I very much suspect...

that the Hornet is overdue

for a service...

so if you don't mind,

I'll use your car tonight.

He's driving a white Peugeot.

License number is--
