The Swindle Page #6

---

And we couldn't...

shut him up.

The words flowed

as freely as his gray matter.

Poor boy.

Enough of this sad story.

Let's get back to us.

I brought you here

so you could help us

open the attach case

which you were so kind to return.

I understood as much.

Blowing off the locks

is not a solution.

Half the newspapers were burned.

You'll see,

it's not a reliable method.

Yvon. Bring us

Maurice's attach case. Please.

Look at this massacre.

Imagine if this were money.

Now give us the combination.

I don't know it. How could I?

- Search your memory!

- It's not a question of memory!

Don't give me that

or I'll hang you by your nuts.

Does it hurt?

Be logical!

I couldn't possibly know

those numbers!

You could break my every bone

and it wouldn't change a thing!

You know that!

Maybe I got carried away.

Excuse me.

That's enough, kitten.

Sit down.

This is a delicate situation.

I absolutely

have to set things right.

Otherwise my administrators

will be very angry with me.

Surely you can help me, Sissi.

I don't see how.

Yes, Sissi. Try and see.

You know the combination.

I'm afraid not.

Yes, Sissi, you do.

And I'm sure

you don't want to be crippled,

disfigured or to lose an ear.

You don't want to suffer

over a few little numbers.

You're not really thinking

of robbing us?

Betty.

If you know the numbers, tell them.

They're ruthless.

Betty... Sissi...

Elizabeth...

Listen to him!

He knows what he's saying!

Maurice didn't tell me anything.

Look at me.

I'm sure you know those numbers.

Tell him. Please.

Otherwise

we won't get out of here alive.

That's a distinct possibility.

Because you think

we'll get out of this alive?

We're not blood thirsty, my dear.

For us,

death is the last resort too.

Betty, why fill your head

with useless numbers?

4- 6- 4- 4

8- 8- 6- 1.

You're both brilliant.

It's truly a pleasure

working with you.

What were those numbers?

4- 6- 4- 4

8- 8- 6- 1.

Open this for me.

Excellent!

Things are back

in their rightful place.

Once again, all is in order.

That's just lovely.

Except for my broken finger.

It's not so bad.

Don't expect a reward.

I'm letting you live.

That's pretty nice of me.

I'm sorry, Victor.

It's my fault

you got dragged into this.

It's not your fault.

We're out of our league.

Yes.

It's like Pandora's box.

- There isn't 5 million here.

- How much is there?

A little over 2800000.

Maybe he wasnt such a fool

after all.

Shut up or I'll pack your ass

with dynamite.

She's right, you know.

He screwed us all.

What did you do with the money?

You know we don't have a clue.

Only Maurice could have told us.

You screwed up, you a**hole!

I'm sorry.

Get rid of those two.

I want them out of my sight.

Get rid of...

get rid of?

No more stupid moves!

Dump them

on the beach

and let them fend for themselves.

Can I go too?

I don't want you

going out at night.

It's not late!

It's dark. I don't like you

going out at night.

Forget it.

You don't like being separated,

from what I gather.

You're lucky I'm a decent guy.

Take them away.

We'll dump them by the banana trees.

That'll give them a long walk.

- You enjoy walking, I hope?

- Just drop us anywhere.

- We wouldn't want to put you out.

- Shut up, you!

Here is fine.

We're going to leave you.

Follow the shore,

you're 5 kilometers from your hotel.

Perfect. I love evening strolls.

Stop! Are you crazy!

I don't like his sense of humor.

And I think Mr. K.

was too indulgent with him.

Good night.

Don't say anything.

What thugs.

Those pigs!

We're alive. That's the main thing.

It's unbelievable.

Can you walk?

It hurts when I move.

It hurts... I just want to sleep.

Me too.

Poor child,

I hope this was a lesson.

You already told me. Shut up.

Let's sleep.

Victor?

My darling, You know prudence

has always been my watchword.

These people are dangerous.

It's safer if we separate.

We'll be harder to find if they

decide to come after us again.

That's why I thought it best

to take the first plane

off the island.

I don't want to be directive,

but I think it would be best if you

didn't try to find me right away.

I'm not angry at you

for our misadventure.

On the contrary, I'd say

you behaved admirably

and I was proud of you.

That bastard

really hurt me.

I'm too old to take a beating.

My finger is badly broken.

Go back to Paris.

I know you have enough money

to tide you over for a while.

But I've left you enough

for a ticket in first class.

I hope they serve caviar.

Don't try to get your suitcase.

It's too dangerous.

In any case,

I'm not worried about you.

You're a big girl and I'm confident

in your ability

at getting out of the worst mess.

I'm leaving my Swiss army knife

so you can get the handcuffs off.

It's easy.

I'd have done it,

but I didn't want to wake you...

You bastard!

Wait until I catch up with you!

A century later...

Who's there?

It's the mailman.

The door's open.

It's really him.

Well, my dear,

you took your time.

You think twice

with a bastard like you.

I did it for both of us.

You know that.

You covered your tracks

like a politician on the run.

Prudence.

What's this new act?

What act?

The pathetic victim in a wheelchair.

I never recovered

from the beating on the beach.

I had three ribs broken.

I was brutalized.

My finger's completely useless.

I really feel sorry for you.

I'm not asking for your pity.

You won't get it.

Why are you so hard?

Because it's not funny anymore.

But as soon as it was possible

and we had nothing to fear

I let you know where I was.

Because you were bored to death.

But it's too late, daddy.

That dirty trick you pulled...

it's beyond words.

I wanted to protect you, my lamb.

Can't you understand?

So you could run off with the money.

- What money?

- You see!

It's the first time

you've taken me for an imbecile.

You opened the attach case

and took half the money, as usual.

No one would believe

they've only been half ripped off.

How I love you.

You're really extraordinary.

That jerk, Maurice,

used his credit card numbers

for the combination.

When I pick numbers for

a combination, no one knows them.

He used the numbers

printed on his card. What a fool.

- Do you have any cigarettes?

- On the stove!

You know where I put the money?

It was in my bag all the time.

I even offered to bring it

when those two thugs came after us.

I think

the solitude's getting to you.

- Why do you say that?

- Your state of exaltation.

I'm happy to see you.

You're crazy to think

I'd buy the wheelchair act.

You couldn't put cigarettes up there

in your condition.

Fine. Let's talk seriously

about the money.

I put your share aside.

I wasnt planning to cheat you.

Never.

You have to admit

we've had some good laughs.

We work well together.

By the way,

how much money is there?

I took a million and a half.

Half is yours

- 750000 Swiss francs.

You can multiply that

by at least four.
