Yes, Gra... Granada's like paradise.

The clear water makes the

fruit and the flowers grow.

And the tobacco plantations

create this beautiful glow in the air.

Alright. If you had put this much effort

in your lessons, you'd have passed.

I only fai... failed

the o... oral exam.

Three times.

Why does he have to keep doing those

exams if he's not good at them?

He has a little speech impediment.

So what?

De... Demosthenes was a great orator

in spite of his sp... speech impediment.

I won't say another word.

-Good night.

-Sleep well.

'the laughing cow'

Germaine, I think

it's the milkman.

Mathilde, careful. A bull.

Help. Daddy, help. A bull.

Help, daddy.

I'm coming.

-Help me, Lon.

-Me?

-Are you a man?

-Yes, and I want to stay one.

-I don't like cowards.

-I don't like cows.

-I used to be fed goat's milk.

-Come on, Lon.

Wait, Maurice. I'm coming.

-Give me that.

-I'll get the other insect spray.

Cheers.

I can't watch.

That's fantastic.

He's fighting like a lion.

Come back, Maurice.

You should never have

taken such a risk.

-Where's the diamond?

-In the jacket.

-And the jacket?

-In a suitcase.

-And the suitcase?

-In a caravan.

-And the caravan?

-I'm still looking for it.

You weren't even able to follow them.

Very well done.

-I'll find them. I've got an idea.

-You'd better.

-I don't know what's wrong.

-The horn's stuck.

Very sharp, Sherlock.

Don't worry.

-You're my saviour.

-I'm really good technically.

-Are you coming?

-She can't leave without a horn.

-There's a short-circuit. I'll fix it.

-That's sweet.

-Can I ask you for a big favour?

-But of course.

-Can I get changed in your caravan?

-I can't arrive in Granada like this.

You're going to Granada.

I understand now. Really nice.

-What's so strange about it?

-Nothing. It's between him and me.

-Can I?

-Of course.

Let me. I'll show the way.

I don't trust it. I'm sure

she's up to something.

Do you mind if I get

changed in the caravan?

-Please go ahead.

-Thank you.

-Do you need help?

-No. Do they teach you that at school?

We're taught to be polite

to ladies.

Give me your suitcase.

A typically American product.

It's fixed.

My hat.

I think everything's alright.

You can go.

I don't know how to thank you.

I wouldn't have known what to do.

Mechanics would line up

to help you.

-But not experts like you.

-Oh yes.

Thanks again.

-See you soon, mayb... mayb...

-Maybe.

-What's this?

-I reversed the controls.

If you put it in reverse,

you go forward.

Are you coming?

Ever since we arrived in Spain,

you both think you're Don Juan.

I won't have that

jalopy overtake me.

-What are you doing?

-I'm turning on the turbo compressor.

-Just be careful.

-140 is alright for a moment.

-That doesn't look good.

-Never seen a smoking engine?

You know nothing about it.

-Can I help?

-Go away. Hurry.

We'll let the expert deal with it.

-It's really very hot.

-You can say that again.

-Just count. 34.

-Yes, 34, 38, 40, 44.

-And 10 more. That makes...

-54.

It's so hot in here.

Is that turbo compressor going to work?

-Another minute.

-You're just an amateur.

-And no wind at all.

-I'm suffocating.

We're in the full sun.

-I'd prefer car trouble in the shade.

-Or no car trouble at al.

I pass.

-Finally some air.

-That feels good.

The caravan.

We're going a bit fast now.

The caravan's leaving.

Lon, the caravan's leaving.

He's mad.

-Are you crazy?

-We were almost dead.

-You can't do that.

-Alright, I'll take the bike.

You should put the hand brake on.

You failed your driving exam

six times. Stay out of it.

The caravan.

Come on, guys. Hello, Myriam.

Had a good trip?

Get the suitcases.

Don't ruin the locks, Mollo.

Stupid. You never know.

If they come for their suitcase,

the locks have to be intact.

When we have the diamond, we'll put

everything back and lock the suitcase.

-Where's the jacket?

-It was on top.

And now hopefully at the bottom.

Socks, socks and socks.

Are they centipedes or what?

No jacket. How about that?

I'm sure he put the jacket

in the suitcase.

Are you ripping me off?

You'd pay for it.

-You know me, Fred.

-That's why. You love diamonds.

But not at that price.

If he put the jacket in there

and it's gone now...

...then somebody must have taken it

out again. Probably he.

We have to search all of Spain.

If only we knew where they went.

-To Sevilla.

-Now you're telling us.

-Hey you.

-Make a call to Sevilla right away.

Ask for Fernandez in the Blue Bar.

A couple of bums in a cab

with a caravan. Easy to spot.

Damn, what's that Fernandez doing?

He'd call me back, but it's 10

o'clock and no phone call yet.

And you haven't seen the last of me.

I understand now.

Fernandez set us up.

The bastard. He'll pay for this.

Hello? Is it you, Fernandez?

About the French cab.

We didn't find it.

Are you sure?

I'll have it checked.

Go ahead. We didn't find anything.

It's not our fault.

He looked all over the city,

but didn't find anything.

What are you standing there?

The diamond's in Spain somewhere.

We have to look everywhere.

Myriam and I go from Madrid to Sevilla.

Carlos goes to Valencia. Gonzals

and Pedro go to Barcelona.

To work.

Get the cars. I want to find the family

before tomorrow evening.

You take the Cadillac.

-What's that?

-Maybe the police.

Hide in the garage.

Do something if you have to.

-What are we doing?

-Go have a look.

You stay here.

It's them.

Is it you? Come in.

You weren't easy to find.

Nice to see you.

-Likewise.

-Thank you.

Get the gentleman's suitcase.

You got the wrong suitcase.

They look so similar.

I saw it when I wanted to open it.

My key didn't fit.

I almost called a locksmith.

This is Mr. Fred, the owner.

Nice meeting you.

Will you drink something? Come on.

Your suitcase.

I'm glad I've got it back.

It's not a normal suitcase, you see.

-Didn't you find anything?

-Like what?

Oh yes, you couldn't open it.

You'd have been surprised.

It was well hidden.

I'm transporting something valuable.

They look like socks,

but in reality...

You know the deal with socks?

They're great for hiding things.

I can tell you the truth.

They're full of tobacco.

It's handy if you ever need

to get something past customs.

Sometimes we have

to break the law a bit, don't we?

-Thanks for the tip.

-I've got to go.

-Will you be staying in Granada?

-For the time being.

-Please come by again.

-I sure will. See you soon.

I hope so.

You're always welcome in La Corrida.

-La Corrida?

-That's what it's called here.

The family's getting impatient.

Have a glass with us.

I'll call them.

I'd love to pay you

another visit soon.

Today, we're going to Granada.

I'll walk with you.

So I can say hello to the ladies.

You're so nice.

I think he was pulling

my leg with those socks.

Gonzals, Pedro.

I've got a job for you.

The diamonds must still be in the jacket

without them knowing it.

Go after the jacket.

Follow that guy.
