نخستین 200 خط.
- So, have you finished? - Yes, that's it.
Any other plans?
I've got an address. I'll go see tomorrow.
Where are you going?
To work.
It's not too early?
Recently, I've had to be there early.
So, it's finished?
Yes, that's it.
That's good.
- How much? - Count!
Jean-François?
What are you doing there?
Come into the house.
Hear me, Jean-François?
Jean-François?
Where are you going, you pig?
Jean-François?
Sir?
Help me!
Who do you think you are, you animal?
Wake up, asshole!
Wake up, you shit!
Wake up!
- What's wrong? - He's just a pig.
- Should I call a doctor? - No, he'll be alright soon.
We'll lift him up.
We have to make him run.
Come on.
No, that way.
If we don't bring him round, he's had it.
I think I passed out.
Come on, let's walk a bit.
- Who are you? - Me?
He's working on the house. You hired him.
Oh, ya.
There.
How old are you?
22.
That's really something.
Some people are 25 or 30...
but to be 22...
that's amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
I need to know what to expect.
I'll have lots of money soon.
Who'd give money to such an idiot?
I've already been paid.
- Remember? - Yes.
I never understood that.
- You never understood? - Never.
And you never will.
Don't worry your head about it.
Did he give you the advance?
He promised me it in 3 days.
I can help you this weekend if you want.
That'd be great.
The roof beams need changing.
I'm off. I'm working tonight.
Leaving already?
Yeah.
Do you want a coffee?
- Want a coffee? - No, thanks.
What's it about? Dope?
Nothing like that.
That workman up there...
needs his advance, but after that,
I don't know how I'll pay him.
Don't you need someone?
No, and it's not my decision.
If it's to make someone pay up, that's my thing.
It's not. I can't tell you any more.
I'm not sure I'll make it.
Put in a word for me.
Want to take my place? I'm not sure they'll need me.
I'm stone-broke. I'm on the street.
If it works, I'll help you out.
How long will it take?
A day.
You'll earn that much in a day?
I doubt I'll get through it.
- It worked last time. - That was last time.
When do you go?
I don't know. Last month, they said they'd summon me,
but I haven't heard.
What did he want?
- Money. - His business isn't going too well.
I don't think there's anything left.
Pity. He paid for your lawyer when you were in jail.
I haven't forgotten.
- Know what your sister said? - Don't start.
You belong in prison, nowhere else.
My sister always speaks the truth.
Always...
- How's it going? - OK.
How long now?
10 days.
And the other side?
It'll all be finished in 10 days.
Good.
Hello. I think he's had it.
A striped envelope. No, I couldn't get it back.
I'll send you the photos. OK?
Shit!
Hey, mister!
Where are you?
- What is it? - Can you help me please?
Quick!
What's wrong?
We must break the door down. He's passed out.
There's an ax on the terrace.
Jean-François!
What're you doing?
He's dead.
- Aren't you tired? - A bit.
How's things, Dad?
Fine.
- Hello, madam. - Hello. Come in.
Go on.
Thank you for yesterday.
That's OK. I'm sorry for you.
Don't be.
With the quantities he'd been taking, it was inevitable.
I hope you'll continue the work.
No.
His sister will inherit the house, so it's not my problem now.
Oh?
Look, I'm really sorry.
Who's going to pay me now?
I doubt his sister will ever come.
She'll get an agency to sell the house.
I never encouraged him to take that shit.
He doesn't need it anymore.
When are you leaving?
After the funeral.
He was waiting on a job. Do you know about it?
Yes.
Maybe the letter will come before you leave.
It came yesterday.
- You've got it? - Yes.
Can I see it?
There's nothing to see. A train ticket and a paid hotel bill.
What'll you do with it?
Get the ticket refunded.
I'll buy it off you.
OK, you can have it.
If it works, I won't forget you.
A train ticket and a paid hotel bill.
Where was the ticket for?
Paris.
The name of the hotel?
That I do remember: Windsor.
What did Pierre Bléreau intend to do with it?
To replace Jean-François.
What does he know?
He just knew there was a lot of money at stake.
When did they discuss it?
Yesterday morning.
Did anyone go in other than the police and doctors?
No... Yes, the workman.
I asked him to smash the door.
To the bathroom.
When did Mr. Godon intend to leave?
Today.
Thank you very much.
Where were you during their talk?
- In the corridor. - You heard their words?
Of course.
Sorry, my brother over there has got it. He'll show it to you.
Come with me, sir.
If you want the ticket, go see my brother over there.
But you have to be present.
Want me to throw you out, asshole?
You're crazy!
What is it, Ludo?
He wants the ticket, but won't move his fat ass.
Come on, I'll show you his ticket.
- Hello? - Mr. Godon?
Yeah.
Got a pen and paper?
Just a second.
OK.
By noon tomorrow, go to Gare du Nord. Locker 103.
You'll find a train ticket with instructions.
The code is 402 #4.
402 #4.
Get out one stop before the station on the ticket.
Don't forget: one stop before.
Jesus...
Good day, sir. Your ticket, please.
Thank you. Pleasant journey.
His stop's Valen.
- What time? - 5:08.
I'll see to it.
I need 2 unmarked cars, Valen? Station, 5:08.
Hello.
- Hello. - Where to?
- Know where that is? - Yes.
- Is it far? - It's a fair way.
The number's 375 MHJ 45.
