They Were Five (La Belle équipe)

I... It's nothing.

Sorry.

Don't wake me again.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I thought I heard something.

It was nothing. Go to sleep.

Sid, wake up.

I definitely heard something.

Stop. Stop. Oh, Jesus.

What's the matter? What is it?

What, what, what do you hear?

- I hear nothing. - I heard a noise.

A noise downstairs.

No, I didn't hear anything.

Well, put your hearing aids in,

and then you'll hear, honey.

I don't need my hearing aid. I can hear well enough.

Sid.

Don't you hear that?

- Listen. - I don't.

That's nothing.

That's the house settling.

The house settled 25 years ago.

- Sid! - Forget it.

Go back to sleep.

You know, you've gotten all nervous tonight.

It's probably 'cause I didn't put the alarm on.

Oh, my God, Sid, there's someone in the house.

No.

- There's someone in... - It's mice.

Remember years ago, we had an aggressive mouse.

Go, go down and check, honey.

No, no, I'm not going downstairs.

It's 4:00 in the morning,

I'm gonna go back to sleep.

There's somebody in our house, Sid.

Somebody is downstairs in our house.

Oh, Jesus.

- Listen, you can't... - What if I go down there

and there is somebody there?

Well, you...

don't grapple with them; don't confront them.

Just come right back up again.

But we really do have to see

what's going on down there.

I'm gonna put my hearing aid in.

I'm gonna put my hearing aid on.

I'm gonna call the police.

Don't call the police.

You know, don't do... It's not that urgent yet.

You can't hear that noise?

It's impossible.

- Oh. - Jesus.

Every time that there's an electrical storm,

the phone goes out.

- Well, the line is dead. - The phone's out?

Yes, the line is dead.

Jesus.

Now... - Well, I... - Now, Sid.

I don't want to go downstairs.

You know, I'll get my throat cut.

We're being burglarized, honey.

Burglarized, somebody's downstairs stealing our stuff.

So what? What do we got to steal?

Let 'em take it; they'll take the pots, the rug.

Who cares? I hate that rug.

I'll go with you. I'll go with you. Okay?

What good are you gonna be?

No, no. Look.

I don't know what exactly what to do.

I am going with you.

Please get the fireplace poker.

Get the poker?

What if the guy downstairs has a bigger poker?

Forget it. You're gonna get raped.

I'll get killed.

And naturally, just when I'm on the verge

of selling my TV series.

And don't resist, you know.

If there's anybody down there, give 'em all your jewelry.

You never got me any jewelry.

Well... well, you never wanted any jewelry.

I got you a wedding ring.

I'm not giving him my diamond ring.

Hopefully it'll be too small for him to notice.

And I'm not giving him the emerald pin

that you gave me for Christmas.

The emerald pin you can give him;

- it's a fake. - It is?

Yeah, it's a very good fake. It fooled you.

Now you tell me it's a fake?

I showed it to all my friends.

What's the difference?

You know, I can't that hear well

because I don't have my batteries of my hearing aid.

Now, we're getting close, so keep quiet.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Okay, go ahead.

And don't worry. I'm right behind you.

I'll back you up if there's any conflict.

Not so loud.

Oh, my God.

Whoever you are, take her emerald.

I got her an emerald pin for Christmas.

Katherine, Mrs. Muntzinger.

Darlene?

Lenny?

Lenny, yes, Lenny Dale.

Oh, my God.

What's going on? You know her?

I need your help, a place to stay and hide out.

They're after me.

Were you on... You were on the news.

Are you... you're not the woman the police are looking for?

The pigs, the FBI,

the fascist gestapo government mercenaries.

Oh, yes, I've read about you in the newspapers.

I mean, you're all over television.

I know.

The fascist propaganda machine is in full swing.

We have no jewels, but you can have her emerald pin.

For Christ's sake.

I'm exhausted. I'm hungry.

I haven't eaten in two days.

What I should do is, I should probably go upstairs,

and I should probably change the batteries in my hearing aid.

That way, I'll hear better, but in the meantime,

you know, give her the emerald pin,

because then she'll go.

Um, I'll be right back, and you two can chat.

Oh, you poor thing.

Jesus Christ.

I don't know what the hell is going on here.

Waking me up out of a deep sleep.

You know, it crossed my mind for a split second

when I saw you on television that it actually was you,

but the picture was so blurred and it was so dark

that I thought, "No, can't be little Lenny Dale."

This is really crazy.

I need your help.

I need to stay here and hide out for a while.

You know, you don't look anything like you used to look,

but your expression is the same.

I just remember you as a little blonde cherub.

Who's the old guy with you, the caretaker?

That's my husband, Sid.

That guy?

Is he senile or what?

Well, I mean, he's having a little trouble

with his hearing aids.

In all fairness, you did wake him up

out of a very deep sleep.

You marry him for his money?

For his money?

'Cause, you know, that's the price you pay

when you pick somebody older, they become decrepit.

I mean, that guy can't even hear.

Can he see? Is he forgetful?

'Cause short-term memory, that's the first thing that goes.

Well, he cleans up well.

And, I can't believe this.

You know, I was there when you were born.

What's this?

That's orange juice.

Bottled?

Well, yes, but it's delicious.

It's artificial.

You used to squeeze your own juice, I remember that.

I'm back.

Isn't that orange juice great?

They put fake pulp in it, you know,

so it's exactly like the real thing.

This, this is Lenny Dale.

You saw her on television.

You've read about her, and we even talked about it briefly.

No, I don't recall that.

You see what I mean? They forget short term.

Remember how many times I told you about

how her family took me in after my mother died,

I had no one, and if it wasn't for them

I would have been in some terrible orphanage.

This country doesn't care about the less fortunate.

I mean, this is a nation where they have

pay toilets for the public.

That says it all right there.

If you got to go to the bathroom, then you got to pay.

They were poor, but they took me in,

and they just saved me from a terrible nightmare.

That's great, you know, but you didn't have to come

and break in in the middle of the night,

you know, with a gun at 3:00 in the morning.

You could have called us and just come at a good hour.

He still doesn't get it. The brain cells, they go.

You read the newspaper.

Yeah, naturally.

I'm not talking about the sports and weather.

No, no, no, weather I get from TV.

You know, and I love it on TV 'cause it's...

But I got to tell you, why they tell me
