>> What are you looking at?
>> You.
>> Why have I changed that much?
>> Yep.
>> The better.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> You wanna know something?
>> Come on.
>> You're better too.
>> Yeah.
That's nice to know.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> Steve, the babysitter.
I told her I'd be home half an hour ago.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
>> Okay, I'll take you.
>> Don't bother.
>> There's always a taxi at the corner.
>> It's not a bother.
>> I'll find a taxi.
>> I wanna drive you.
I'd like to be with you.
>> You really want him to see me in your car?
I don't even know when he's coming home.
It might be tonight.
>> We've got to talk.
We've got things to decide.
>> You decided a long time ago.
>> Come on, now don't lay that on me.
You made the decision.
All I did, I--
I really have to go.
>> I'm sorry, honey, I'm sorry.
Look, can I, can I see you tomorrow?
>> No, tomorrow I'm taking Kevin to the dentist.
Maybe Friday.
>> Friday, I can't, I'm busy.
>> The weekend's out.
>> Yeah.
>> So that makes it next week.
>> Next week.
>> Okay.
>> Same time, same place.
>> Thank God.
Same girl.
>> Bye-bye.
[door opens]

[music]
>> Mr. Ventura, you are the senior officer
of the Drug Enforcement Administration of the U.S. Embassy.
For the official, Frank, is this Frank Matthews?
Is this Frank Matthews?
>> Yes.
>> And do you know that man?
>> Never saw him before.
>> And you, Mr. Kovakian, can you recognize him?
>> No.
>> No, who is he?
Charles Wilment.
He's from Marseille.
>> I've never been to Marseille.
>> Mr. Ventura.
>> Yeah.
>> There are some questions I'd like to ask you.
>> Right now, Mr. Bjak?
>> No.
When would be a convenient time?
>> I don't know, about 6.30.
>> All right.
Rafael Barr?
>> Okay.
>> By the way, your friend was married.
>> Yeah.
>> Do you want me to tell his wife?
>> I'll tell her.
>> Steve.
>> Yeah.
>> You know who killed Matthews, don't you?
>> I have a pretty good idea, Joe.
>> That's two in a row.
Look, why don't we just make Versailles disappear, nice and quiet?
>> Like how?
>> Like kill him.
>> It's against the law, Joe, especially for cops.
>> Steve, what are you doing here?
>> I have to talk to you.
>> Kevin, would you take this into the bedroom, please?
>> Thanks.
>> These toys.
You know our agreement.
You're not supposed to come here when Frank's away.
>> I'm sorry, sir.
You know, you see, last night...
Kevin, why don't you go out and play with Jean Claude, okay?
>> Mom, he doesn't speak English.
>> When he's living in his country, you should learn his language.
Now go out and play. Go on. Stop this.
>> Oh, Mom.
>> Go on, Kevin.
>> Rita.
>> Why don't you sit down? I'll make you some coffee.
You'll just take me a second.
>> Please, only please. Just a second.
I mean, you see, last night, Frank was killed.
I'll make the coffee.
>> Frank!
>> Sorry I'm late.
I had a little problem.
>> Problem?
>> Nothing.
Well, you said you had some questions.
>> You are a policeman, and so am I.
Why don't we help each other?
>> You tell me what you know first.
>> Well, we know that Matthews was working for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
You've been in charge of the Paris office for the past six months.
>> Well, you've done your homework.
>> Yes. Tell me, why was Matthews carrying a false Canadian passport and a false Siemens card?
>> He was supposed to be from Quebec.
>> Why Quebec?
>> They speak French from Quebec.
>> Oh, of course.
And why that photograph?
>> He was, in my say, trying to get evidence against Jack Bessard.
>> Did he?
>> He must have found out something.
Why did Bessard have him killed?
>> You have proof of this.
>> If I get you the proof, will you put him in jail?
>> Bessard is, how can I put it, a very private individual, well-guarded, personally and politically.
>> One could almost say he leads a charmed life.
>> So did my cat, until somebody killed him.
>> To get back to Bessard, if you invade his privacy, he might have you killed.
>> He's trying.
>> I suggest we begin with Avalanche de Ordevre, followed by Lou de Méditerranée flambée à la fine champagne,
with the Gavirte Traminer 70, then Noisette de Chevreuil Grand-Veneur,
and for dessert, I recommend a Soufflé Arlequin with Champagne, Dom Pérignon 65.
Is that satisfactory, M. Bessard?
>> Thank you for this perfect.
The dinner is for charity.
Do you think, Lucien, that Soufflé Arlequin will make them open their pocketbooks?
>> I think it would take a hand grenade to open some of their pocketbooks, Father.
>> What do you think, my darling?
>> Pardon?
>> We are talking about food. This is important.
>> For me, a green salad.
>> Not your lunch. We're discussing what to offer our guests at the charity gather.
>> If you like it, I like it.
[laughs]
>> Mr. Ventura, it's getting to be after six o'clock time.
Wanna who call?
>> Sure.
>> Bowman, Evans, Jacobs, Jones, Henshaw, and last but not least, the ever-persistent Joe Kovacian,
who will call back later.
>> Nobody else, huh?
>> No.
>> Hmm.
>> There's another glass in there.
>> Oh.
>> You might guess.
>> Why don't you stop third degreeing yourself?
>> What do you mean?
>> Come on. We've known each other for a long time now.
I can read you like a book.
>> Don't tell me the ending.
>> What is really bugging you?
>> You were going on and on.
I hate this office.
Most of all, I hate my desk.
I shouldn't have stayed out in the field.
>> It's, uh, it's even rougher out there.
>> Charlie, what--what is happening?
I used to--I used to like what I was doing.
Your head of the Paris office accepted.
>> Okay.
>> Hi, Lieutenant.
>> Hi. Oh, Mr. Ventura.
Mr. Williams isn't in.
>> I just want to say three words.
>> He's really not in.
>> Where is he?
>> He's where he is every Thursday afternoon,
but I'm not going to disturb him there.
>> Oh, yes.
>> Mr. Ventura, what are the three words?
>> The first one is go.
>> I want to take three cards.
>> Three.
>> One.
>> I'm nice to you.
>> I'm up.
>> You're gonna take three.
>> I better want to talk to you.
>> Steve, not in the middle of a poker game.
>> You cost you a hundred.
>> I want to talk to you now.
>> I'll call.
>> Look, you knock it off.
We're trying to play cards here.
Are you in or out?
I've already called.
>> We raise you 250.
That's a hundred and 250.
>> Fred, I hate my desk.
>> Steve, I'll move you to a new desk.
Now, Jimmy, you're gonna call or not?
>> Come out.
>> We plan cards.
We're moving furniture.
Go and take the parking lot.
>> We've bluffed them.
>> Okay, my deal.
Give me the card.
>> No, no, no.
Sit this one out.
I really got to talk to you.
>> Steve, can't we do this at the office tomorrow morning?
>> Fred, this is important.
I wouldn't be--
>> Why don't you guys go on the bedroom?
You'll be nice and quiet in there.
>> It's a good idea.
Come on, Fred.
>> Okay, okay.
Jimmy, you take the deal.
Give me out for a couple of hands.
>> He doesn't like his desk.
>> Steve, what's all this about?
>> Fred, I really hate my desk.
>> Look, Steve, I don't like my desk either.
But I'm gonna go play poker.
>> Wait, wait, Fred.
Just--just--
>> Wait, wait, wait.
I want to ask you a big thing, man.
Let me go after Jack Brizard.
>> You know I can't do that, Steve.
>> Come on, now, look.
Now, you know, first there was Ed Marcus, right?
And now Frank Matthews.
Now, you know that Brizard had them killed.
>> Yeah, but you can't prove that Brizard had them killed.
>> You let me go to my safe.
I'll bring back the proof.
>> Steve, no, no, no.
You can't go.
>> What the hell does he have to do?
Knock off the whole bureau before I can move in on him!
>> Why don't you guys shut up for Christ's sake?
>> Fungal.
>> Now, let's get a couple things straight.
You know the French Foreign Office called six months ago
and lodged a complaint against your department.
What did they say?
They said you were harassing a prominent French citizen.
I told you to lay off Jack Brizard.
What do you do?
You send Matthews down there.
I don't make the rules, but I'm here to see that they're a bade.
>> That means I go back to that desk, huh?
>> You better believe it.
And you'll lay off Jack Brizard,
or else you're going to be transferred out of here.
>> Now, listen.
You've got a good deal.
Don't rock the boat.
You've got a good job, a good salary.
You've got seniority.
You've got an expense account.
You've got that secret fund you could spend up to $100,000 a year.
>> Man, don't forget about the pension plan, huh?
>> Don't you forget the pension plan.
>> Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Thanks for the lunch, Fred.
>> Goodbye, Fungal.
Who said that?
>> Me.
Fungal, you.
[CHACTERS SCRATCHING]

[HORN HONKING]
Where are we going?
[HORN HONKING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[BANG]
Are you sure about those men?
Priya, I can never forget faces, especially these.
I just spoke to Marseille.
They couldn't have attacked you.
No.
No, because they're not in Paris.
As a matter of fact, they haven't left Marseille in the last two months.
So I made a mistake, huh?
Obviously.
By the way, they work for Brissard.
I see.
Tell me, what would you do if somebody was trying to kill you?
As a policeman, I'm paid to control my emotions.
They don't pay me that much.
Ventura.
Yes.
I understand your impatience, your anger, your frustration.
But that is the worst time for a man to make a move of any kind.
Four years ago, a colleague of mine tried the same thing.
What happened?
I went to his execution.
Oh.
I even remember a man who hired a professional killer to do the job for him.
I went to his execution as well.
The killer?
No, the man who hired him.
Oh.
Now, come into my office and let's forget all this morbid talk about killers.
A friend of mine sent me a case of Chateau Ikem.
Have you ever tasted it?
I don't think so, no.
Take a bottle. It's a very good wine.
Oh, thank you very much.
You know, all wines taste like muscatel to me.
Muscatel?
Yeah, it's a wine I used to drink when I was a kid in Jersey.
Uh-huh.
We used to, uh, we used to make it and, uh...
What was his name?
Oh.
The friend who gave me the wine?
The killer.
You're not serious.
How much would it cost?
Are you asking me to collaborate in premeditated murder through a third party?
I'm not asking you to collaborate on anything.
I'm only asking you, uh, how much would it cost?
But I cannot draw on any expense account.
I can.
Well, there may be such a man, and he could be hired.
Mm-hmm.
Killing Jacques Brésar, however, is a 50/50 chance at best.
I'm sure.
But for the right price, I suppose a professional might take the risk.
Who do you have in mind?
A very cautious man.
We know of several killings that he was involved in.
When he works, he gets good money.
He has many women, no one permanent.
He lives alone.
He drives fast cars.
I'd like to meet him.
Can he be arranged?
No problem.
Unofficially, of course.
Unofficially.

How are you?

I'll be your son a bit.
Oh, it's great to see you.
How long's it been, eh, about five or six years?
- Eight, nine years.
- God, time flies.
Hey, what are you doing now?
- Well, I've been moving around.
What about yourself?
- Oh, just say more grind.
Johnny, I have an appointment to have to meet someone.
Hey, what about dinner?
I'm at five, 60--
- Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve.
I'm the man you're meeting.
You have an appointment with me.
- What are you talking about?
- The contract.
It's me.
- Johnny, what do you mean, you, uh--
- Why not?
The pay's good, the hours are short,
and like the fella says,
we never touch women and children,
we only kill each other.
(laughing)
- You have changed, eh?
- No, I haven't changed, I just changed my job.
Look, I haven't got a lot of time.
If you want someone hit, give me my price and I'll do it.
- Johnny, I'll have a briac make the deal with you.
- I don't trust cops.
- I'm a cop.
- You're my friend.
- You mean like the fella says what our friend's for, right?
(laughing)
- That's right, Steve.
It'll be $25,000.
- 25.
- And of course, I'll have to know where and who.
(birds chirping)
- The place is my say.
- And who?
- The man's name is Rizad.
- Jacques Rizad.
- Well, that will make it $50,000.
Payable in advance.
Johnny, I'll meet you here at five o'clock.
- Okay. - Johnny, excuse me.
Come on.
What really happened?
- Steve, nothing happened.
I'm still the same, I like girls, I like television.
I go and see my mother.
I travel about the traffic, the telephone, the weather.
I'm still the same.
I see the weather. I'm still the same.
- Where is Kurt? - Mr. Andraiah is getting rid of Ventura.
With the man in Ventura's position, political obstacles are so much more effective.
Tell Kurt to come back here.
Then go to Lissar and make certain that he has enough chemists
to refine 400 kilograms of base morphine.
Why have you changed your mind?
I don't want anything to interfere with our present operation.
- But Ventura is... - Forget about Ventura.
Just make the arrangement with Lissar and...
no guns, please.
Some information on Jack Bizarre.
Three passports under the name of John Davos.
You'll find a number.
Try not to call me unless you have to.
I won't call you.
- Good luck, Johnny. - Steve.
Yeah?
- The money. - Oh, Christ, I almost forgot.
- Don't you want to count it? - I trust you, Steve.
- I want my car painted. - It's a brand new car.
- My wife doesn't like the color. - I'll show you some charts.
!
Azera, we're moving in a large shipment of morphine on the 18th.
You'll receive it between three and four in the morning.
How much?
Enough for you to produce about 400 kilos of heroin.
That means extra men and larger pots.
That's your problem. Let's go.
Well, if you want to spend the money, then we can do the job.
Remember, it has to be on the 18th.
Oh, look at this.
[engine starts]
I'm sorry, I'm late.
I'll put the bags in my car.
No, I'll keep the taxi, really.
No, don't bother. I'm so--
Honey, don't bother.
Kevin! Kevin, hurry up!
When am I gonna see you again?
I can't get that far ahead.
No, I really have to settle things at home first.
How long will that take?
Two or three months, I just don't know, really.
How do I drive up to the airport with you, huh?
Let's say goodbye here, okay?
Not--
Can't say goodbye like this.
Please.
Okay.
Hey, chap, take care of mom, huh?
Yes, of course, Dave.
I'll call you Sunday.
I'll look for it too, Steve.
Okay, bye.
Oh, you need some money?
No, no, no, really. Everything's fine.
Don't worry.
-Chap? -Bye-bye.

You see that guy over there?
He's willing to rap for thousands.
- What is he got? - Wait here.
Man, how you doing?
Okay. See that man over there in the pieceware?
That is the man with the money, okay?
[ENGINE REVVING]
- This is the man. - Hi.
You got the money?
Well, $1,000 was the deal.
Yeah. What's, uh...
What's it got? Later.
Tell him what you told me last night.
- Hmm? - The shipment leaves Turkey tonight.
- Good. Where to? - Marseille.
And when's it due?
- The 18th. - How much?
- 400 kilos. - 400 kilos of what?
Morphin base.
- Who's the buyer? - I don't know.
- No last night. - Come on. No muscle. No muscle.
Who's buying?
- Prisard. - Jack Prisard?

This friend of mine, he has a 56 Mercedes 300 SL car weight.
You know the one you climb into it with the door on the top?
Oh yes, a beautiful car, but so hot in summer.
No ventilation.
He spent a fortune putting in an air conditioning unit,
but there was only one problem.
Once he got the unit in, he couldn't get it himself.
(laughing)
Cash is not allowed.
All accounts are signed.
I do not remember.
What time is dinner?
Come for cocktails.
I was joking.
I wasn't.
How do I dress?
Anything you're comfortable in?
I think I have a very thing.

Ben, any word from Doreen?
No, that's why I called.
We are canceling the contract.
Why?
I have changed my mind.
I'll get bizarre some other way.
Oh.
That's a good question.
Anyway, I want you to call my saying, have the rapist...
But on what charge?
I don't care.
A robbery, a...just a stocking.
Might not be so easy.
What do you mean?
As a policeman, I cannot give false information.
But you can recommend a killer for a job?
You make the call, huh?
Stop the rain.
(orchestral music)
Mr. Davos, Miss Brissard is expecting me.
Yes, sir.
(orchestral music)
(engine revving)
(bell ringing)
Hello.
Hi.
Come in.
Was the villa easy to find?
The grounds were easy.
It was a house I couldn't find once I was inside.
My father's very anxious to meet you.
Welcome to my house, Mr. Davos.
How do you do?
Countess, may I present Mr. John Davos,
Countess Dorfee, and Madam Apka.
My darling, I'm sure that your friend would like a drink.
Uh, straight whiskey, please.
Are you in Marseille for business or pleasure, Mr. Davos?
Well, both, really.
I hope that you will have a profitable trip on both levels.
Thank you. I'm sure it will be, Mr. Brissard.
So, that's why this year's charity board should be called Survival 74.
Bravo, Mr. Brissard.
You will have my whole hearted support and a suitable donation.
Ah.
Are you interested in survival, Mr. Davos?
I never think of anything else, Countess.
And what aspect of the environmental problem concerns you most?
Overpopulation.
Did you know, Mr. Davos, that in the time of Jesus Christ,
there were 100 million people in the world?
In the 17th century, there were 500 million?
People will always make love.
What is a solution?
I have a solution.
Not birth control or abortion, I trust.
Is that what you had in mind?
No, nothing like that.
Then what?
I think that some people should be killed.
Yes. But which ones?
The bad ones.
But who would be the judge of that?
Well, me, of course, Countess.
Otherwise, they might choose you.
[LAUGHTER]
You should see me tap dance.
I never make love on television.
Oh, we have them all over the house. For insurance.
You can't be too careful.
Can you, sunshine?
Have lunch with me tomorrow at the club.
Fine.
But this time, I'll pay.
I'll see you at one.
Is he here?
- I'll miss you. - I'll leave.
Well...
I'll miss you.
I'll see.
A large shipment will arrive in Marseille in the 18th.
- Where? - I don't know.
You're sure it's the 18th?
Sure.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
[GUNSHOTS]
[SCREAMS]
Yes?
The divorce will name his derail.
He's wanted in Paris for bank robbery and murder.
Are you certain?
Yes, I'm absolutely certain.
Where are you?
Near the new building.
I'll be right there. Wait for me.
OK.
You must excuse me, ladies. Something has come up.
Would you care to take the ride with me?
We could talk on the way.
We'll be right in time for coffee.
Excuse me.
I shan't be in my moment, Mr. Prisar.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Most of us are creatures of habit.
Don't you agree?
We stay with the same products.
We drive the same cars. We eat the same foods.
We all fall into a pattern.
I have been to the same tailor for 30 years.
When I am comfortable with certain things, I stay with them.
Yeah. So do I.
In your case, I'm quite sure that you always use the same kind of gun.
Well, it depends.
What kind are you carrying now?
I admire your choice.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I have to see my foreman. Come with me.
I hope you're not afraid of heights.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Why have you lied to me?
What are you talking about?
The police are looking for you for bank robbery and murder.
I don't rob banks. That's not my line.
What is your line?
That depends on what you want done.
Here's somebody.
How much?
$50,000.
When?
Now.
[GUNSHOTS]
I meant, when do I get the $50,000?
Now.
Which one?
Not the one on the right. That's Calmy.
He's the one who's going to pay you.
Calmy tells me that you have done a good job.
I wanted personally to see that you are properly paid.
Thank you, Mr. Frizzard. Thank you.
He will pay you.
Calmy?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Mr. Frizzard said you have my money.
[SCREAMS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Let me have your bill, Ful.
When the police find him, your bill, Ful, will be in his pocket.
Can't he still be recognized?
Not when I am done with him.
Okay, what's all this?
Well, you said you hated this desk, didn't you?
[LAUGHTER]
That's very funny.
[LAUGHTER]
He's very funny.
What else is new?
Nothing very much.
I accepted Williams and the auditors are hot on your trail.
What?
Item one, your department is 26% over budget.
I'd have a hell of them.
Of course, $50,000 is.
I'll take care of that.
Now, you can tell me, Steve.
What did you really do with that money?
It's nice to land Switzerland, kid.
[BUZZER]
Go on, get to work.
[BUZZER]
Hello, Mr. Ventura's office.
Mr. Ventura.
Who's speaking, please?
Inspector Briac.
Oh, good.
Hey, hi, Briac.
What are you still in Marseille?
Pick them up, huh?
You could say that.
He went off the top floor of a 35-story building.
He's in the morgue.
[PHONE RINGING]
Do you hear what I said?
Yeah.
Yeah, thank you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you took to Marseille.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
I believe that you may be useful,
but I would like to know more about it.
Yes?
Yes, go on.
I'm not asking for your opinion.
I am simply requesting information
about a new employee, Deray.
Elias Davos.
D-A-V-O-S.
Yes, next time.
I would expect a call.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Do you think you like working for my father?
Why not?
The money's good.
And the fringe benefits are great.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you like being your father's daughter?
I love it.
It's everything you say, including the fringe benefits.
Is your father still alive?
No.
Oh.
Do you miss him?
I used to miss him when he was alive.
Now that he's dead, I can't remember him.
Are you afraid of dying?
I never think about it.
Why bother about something that's bound to happen?
That's the trouble with people.
They do too much thinking and too little doing.
For example?
Um...
A photographer once explained to me
the difference between an amateur and a professional.
He said, "The amateur thinks first,
and the moment's gone.
The professional takes the moment
and thinks about it afterwards."
Which are you?
Um...
Let me put it-- let me put it this way.
If we...
should find a moment,
I would suggest that we take it
and think about it afterwards.
About two miles south of the main road,
there's one of the Maginot Line bankers,
near Moulouse.
You will be met by a man called Roger.
He will take you to the rendezvous.
And you will not turn over the money
until you have made the pick-up.
Roger will then drive you to Lyon.
We will catch a train and return to Marseille.
I would like you to leave now.
OK. I'll get my jacket.
[knocking]
Hi.
Listen, I have to go away until the morning.
Where are you going?
Just out of town, but I'll call you when I get back, OK?
Good morning.
I've made the guest list for the gala.
Oh, great. Am I invited?
Of course.
[knocking]
You do understand, right?
Timing is all important.
Of course.
Everything is in the range.
I want nothing left to chance.
The night is my charity ball.
I must be present at the beginning.
But I could be with you at 11 and stay until midnight.
Which would give us time enough to complete financial arrangements.
I suggest that you meet me outside the Buenos Aires
at 11 o'clock precisely.
No, not in the Buenos Aires. Outside.
Well, I'll see you Saturday.
Calmer, I'll drive you to the airport.
Let me know when you get back.
I'll be back.
Please head to the hotel.
[engine revving]
Ruche, wait.
[engine revving]
Wait for me, okay? Understand?
Mr. Marzak, I have information that a large shipment of drugs
is coming into Marseille.
What kind of drugs?
Basemorphine.
How large?
400 kilos.
Do you know who's buying it?
We both know who's buying it.
Who? Mr. Ventura.
Who buys all the junk that comes into Marseille?
Jack Brizard.
Jack Brizard is buying it.
Do you have any other information for us?
It arrives on the 18th.
Mr. Ventura, you called to say you had important information for us.
400 kilos of basemorphine is not important.
We already know about this shipment.
You already know?
Yes, we know.
Vargas was told the same date by an informer.
What else did he tell you?
Nothing. He was shot dead in the street right after I left him.
What's your next move?
Don't worry.
We have Brizard under 24 hours surveillance.
Oh, under surveillance.
All we can do is wait.
I see.
Well, while you're waiting, do you mind if I look around your city?
Of course not. I hope you don't get lost in Marseille.
I have a man.
Right on time.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
They've got something for us.
Do you have something for me?
You're under arrest.
About four.
Illegal possession of Ventura's drugs.

- Why don't you come to the villa?
- No, not there.
At the yacht club.
I'll meet you in about 45 minutes in the parking lot.
Okay?
- All right.
- Okay.
- Goodbye.
(phone ringing)
- Deirei is going to meet my daughter at the yacht club.
(sad music)
- Why didn't you come back to the villa?
- Why isn't I worried about you?
- Tell your father I'm fine.
- Why don't you tell him yourself?
- I will when I see him.
See, you wouldn't happen to know where your father is right now, would you?
- Yes, at a meeting.
Then he's coming here after.
- What time?
- Soon.
Why don't we have a drink and eat with him?
- Oh no, I want to see him alone.
We have some private business together.
- All right.
I'll stay here with you until he arrives.
- I have a very much better idea.
Why don't you go home,
get into a nice hot bath,
turn the lights down low,
cover yourself with lots of perfume and silk sheets.
- And?
- And I'll, um,
see you when I've finished with your father.

Try and out what happened.
(gun firing)
Find him.
The other night, a small amount of drugs was confiscated by the police.
- At Moulin. - How small?
- About twelve ounces. - Mars, I'm looking for four hundred kilos of junk.
- Let me finish. - Two of the men involved had worked for Brizard.
Oh, I see. I mean, it could have been a decoy, huh?
Exactly. And even stranger, the third man who got away is a killer named Ray.
Ray?
- Does it mean anything to you? - It means I'm a dumb cop.
I often feel that way about myself.
Mars, like, do you know something that you're not telling me?
- Why? - Because I wanna warn you.
I'm a bad loser.
♪ ♪
- Is Mr. Ventura there? - No, he's not.
Oh. Well, will you find him and ask him to call Room Number Ten at 432-721 Marseille?
- Room Ten. - And will you tell him it has to do with the contract?
- The contract. - Yes, that's right.
Thank you. Goodbye.

[clattering]
Open up, believe me.
Come in.
What now?
That breeze-out is no longer under set balance.
- Nor is anyone connected with him. - Why?
The breeze-out is giving a charity bore, so the drugs are not coming in tonight.
- Do you really believe that? - It doesn't matter what I believe.
I've been told to leave him alone. Those are my orders.
Mars, Eric, forget the orders. Come on, help me get him.
I've got a family. I can't change the world.
Maybe I can.
- Yes? - Don't talk.
Come to the Grand Hotel, Room 112, as all you can.
[clattering]
- What happened? - Somebody just dropped him.
I'll be over as soon as I've tied it up.
- No, the guy is this way. - I have to see someone.
- Later, come with me. - But I'm not dressed for the occasion.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, thank you.
Look who I found.
Ah, the population specialist.
Are you still killing people?
Whenever I can.
Where were you?
Something came up. I couldn't call you.
Where's your father?
- He went to the phone. - Will he be long?
Who knows? One time he was gone for two weeks.
I'll be back.
When?
I'll be back.
[door creaks]
I'd never leave Mikey in the door.
Forget the key.
Are you pushing drugs for Brizard?
- What the hell have you been smoking? - Look, you're leveled with me.
What about the junk you had at the bunker?
Oh, Brizard set me up. I'm clean.
I never push drugs. Also, for your information, I do not rob banks.
You only kill people, no?
Yes, Steve. That's my living.
Which is, by the way, why I called you.
I've set Brizard up for tonight.
Forget it. I've changed my mind.
I'm sorry, kid. I won't need you anymore.
Oh, yes.
What about the contract?
I'm not giving you the money back.
You can shove the money. I'll get Brizard myself.
- You're going to kill Brizard? - Why, you think I can't?
No, but you need a little help, Steve. Everybody needs a little help.
Is that any ideas?
It is not my style to accept money for work that I haven't done in professional pride.
Besides, what are friends for?
[laughs]
You know that guy's downstairs right now enjoying himself at a party?
Oh, can you use some help?
- What? - You're losing your touch.
- What? - He's not downstairs.
- I just-- - No, no, no.
He's meeting someone near a joint called the Buenos Aires right now.
