Claire, I said no one.

To hell with their sh*t rent!

That's not a tongue in your mouth,

that's a skeptic tank!

You'll get 50 tomorrow,

if you do your homework tonight!

Sh*t!

Damn elevator!

ST SYMPHORIEN FACTORY

COLIFORM CONCENTRATION

Paulin will stop sanitary controls.

At that moment, go for it.

And don't mix up the dosage! That's right.

That's it. A bad case of diarrhea,

but no deaths.

No, there's no risk.

If someone is accused, it will be Paulin.

And watch where the poisoned yoghurts go.

Make sure the TV

and media know about this.

- 30,000, in cash.

- When will I get it?

You'll get it if everything goes as planned.

Rats. Hello, Marton? I'll call you back.

- Excuse me.

- Don't you knock?

Excuse me.

It's only 8:
00.

What are you doing here at 8:00?

I'm sorry. I come earlier on Friday.

Knock before entering!

Did you see a paper on my desk?

- A paper?

- Yes, a little crumpled paper.

- I threw everything out.

- Where?

In the garbage bag, in the hallway.

Wait, I'll get it.

No, there's no need.

You threw everything out?

- Yes.

- Fine, thank you.

It's impossible! We're at 200.

- Your lab assistants, aren't they're tired?

- What?

I get the impression

they need a long vacation.

And the vats?

Are they really that dirty, the vats?

- The vats?

- The vats, yes!

Four hours cleaning the vats every day.

That's long!

Well, you know full well

that milk is a product that...

I know that on Monday,

we will make 250,000 containers an hour.

You're ordering me

to stop all health controls?

Vidal, I never ordered such a thing!

I said, "Administration has offered a

momentary vacation to its laboratory staff. "

And I said, "Our vats are very clean. "

And I'm adding, "Monday,

we will make 250,000 containers an hour. "

I'm counting on you, Vidal.

Our CEO will appreciate your effort.

Marton!

Take care of those samples and that's it.

We're stopping the controls.

We're going to pick the pace up a little.

It's no problem.

- Good evening, Juliette.

- Good evening, Nicole. You're working late!

Don't I know it!

- Good evening, Juliette.

- Good evening, Mr. Blache.

I've prepared the acknowledgement of debt.

Sign here.

If someone asks you

who told you to buy these shares...

I know. I say it was an order from Romuald.

Very good. Anyway, he won't be able

to prove you're wrong.

And no one will ask you anything.

- Good evening, Juliette.

- Goodbye.

- How are the children?

- Fine, thank you.

- Good night.

- Good night.

EMERGENCY:

What did you eat, Ma'am?

What did you eat, Ma'am?

Sir, what did you eat?

- Ask them if they had Blanlait yoghurt.

- Blanlait?

Did you happen to eat yoghurt?

Yes. I started throwing up

right after eating yoghurt.

- And you, did you have yoghurt?

- Yes, I had some.

- Do you remember the brand?

- I don't know. My wife buys them.

I've always bought Blanlait.

Have you had Blanlait yoghurt

recently, Ma'am?

Yes, I ate some.

Hey, guys! They all ate Blanlait yoghurt!

Hello, Stock Market Regulation?

Listen, about Blanlait's takeover bid

on Vachelle, I have interesting information.

No, I can't tell you my name.

Romuald Blindet's secretary,

a certain Nicole Litaize,

who also happens to be Blindet's girlfriend,

bought 600,000 francs' wont of

of Vachelle shares this morning.

Since the takeover was only announced

at noon, I thought you might be interested.

Yes. That's it.

There's some insider trading going on.

Listen, now, the ball is in your court.

When will we have a night together?

- You haven't seen the paper?

- What about it?

Yes?

- It's a catastrophe.

- What?

VNISSIEUX FOOD POISONING

BLANLAIT YOGHUR SOURCE OF POISONING

In the Blanlait yoghurt food

poisoning affair in Venissieux,

the proliferation of coliform bacteria

appears to have caused the poisoning,

perhaps due to some negligence in

controlling the milk. The police are on it.

It's my fault.

I had all the controls taken away.

That's impossible!

Don't tell me the milk, and vats

and everything was rotten,

to the point of poisoning people in one day.

Yes, it is odd.

I'm telling you there's a hitch.

Blache, warn the lawyers

and monitor the stock market.

Cloquet, rush off to Lyon.

Stay for a few days to watch over things

and to calm the police and reporters.

Call me every three hours

to let me know what's going on.

Paulin, bring me all the manufacturing data

of the last few weeks.

We'll get to the bottom of this,

even if it takes a few nights.

What do we do? Sell?

No, let's wait. With this poisoning story,

Vachelle shares will go up again.

The 5.

Oh, excuse me.

- What is this about?

- What?

What do you want?

- Nothing. I'm here to clean.

- Clean what?

I'll come back after you've left.

I'm not leaving.

So, can I clean up?

What? Yes, clean up.

Hello, Franoise?

Listen, I'm stuck at the office.

I'll be home very late. Don't wait for me.

No, I have big problems.

I will explain later.

I don't know.

Around 4:
00 or 5:00 in the morning.

Yes.

I don't know.

Fine. Fine.

Sh*t. Busy.

Franoise, finally! It's always busy. No.

Tonight, he's stuck here.

Oh, you know?

Really? He said

until 4:
00 or 5:00 in the morning?

Can we see each other?

Please.

Midnight, my place. All right?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I have to leave at 11:30.

I'll be gone for a few hours,

but I can come back later.

No, no, it's fine. Don't come back.

But be back early tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

- So?

- Our shares have lowered.

- A lot.

- A free-fall.

Sh*t. You know what's going to happen?

Vachelle will extend a takeover bid for us.

Really. You think so?

First thing tomorrow morning, sell it all

and buy for 600,000 of Blanlait shares.

Why? I thought

Blanlait shares were falling.

Yes, but they'll go up again

because of Vachelle's bid.

I don't understand anything.

Thank you.

FOLLOW-UP TO THE POISONING STORY

AT VNISSIEUX.

STEEP DROP OF BLANLAIT SHARES.

VACHELLE EXTENDS ITS OWN BID.

Hello, Romuald? Yeah, yeah.

Yes, yes, I'm in Lyon. Well, I'm between

Venissieux and St Symphorien, right now.

I'm all over the place, trying to

calm everyone down, but it's hard!

Yeah?

Oh, my opinion of the accident?

I don't want to talk a colleague down,

but in my opinion, Paulin made a real mess.

That is my opinion. It's even a certainty.

That guy is incompetent.

And between the two of us,

he might even be a traitor.

So, did you see the Vachelle bid?

Yes, you were right. I sold just before.

That's a 280,000 profit. I bought back

for 600,000 of Blanlait shares.

You'll see. Now,

Blanlait will come up again.

- Where's the money?

- At my place.

I'll bring it here later, around 9:00.

Take away my 60,000, that's 220,000.

Mr. Blindet, I'm leaving for a moment.

I'm going to get you some food.

Yes, thank you.

Hello, Stock Market Regulation?

Again about Romuald Blindet,

if you want to catch him,

I'm letting you know that his secretary

will bring him the cash,

in a briefcase, at his office,
