Le Doulos

In jargon, “Doulos” actually means “hat”.

But in the secret language of police officers and criminals,

“doulos” is the name given to someone “who wears one”...

An informant.

BETRAYAL IN MONTMARTRE

You have to choose. To die... or to lie?

Have you eaten yet? - No.

There’s a stew in the kitchen. - I’m not hungry.

Take off your coat and eat. - Some days I just can’t do it.

There have been quite a few lately.

What are you doing? - I have two buyers.

One for the stones and the other for platinum. No one would suspect it.

How much do you think you’ll get for it?

Between 15 and 20, but the newspapers suggested it was 110 million.

Have you talked about it with Rémy?

Neuilly? - Yes.

What are you waiting for then?

You complain about money, but you have a job.

There’s a safe, but it will be night and the place is isolated.

You’re right, it seems too easy.

I don’t like it. Six years ago I also took an easy job.

When is it for?

Rémy says it’s for tomorrow. - He’s right, the sooner the better.

Have you told anyone? - Who do you think I am?

Not even Silien?

He’s a good man. - That’s not what they say in Paris.

Silien is a friend, and that’s that.

I hope so for your sake. Are you going to send someone to scout it?

Thérèse will check that everyone is gone.

Does Rémy use a blowtorch? - No, a suction device.

If it’s reinforced, that’s better. Go to sleep. I’ll talk to Nuttheccio.

Is he coming here?

Yes? Why? Do you have a problem with him?

Not personally. I just think he’s scum.

I don’t understand why you work with him.

That’s the same as you and Silien.

Nuttheccio talks to the police. That makes him different from Silien.

Do you understand? - Why don’t you go eat?

Is he coming with his friend, Armand? - Yes.

A nice pair.

When? - They’ll be here soon.

I’m leaving, I’m taking a taxi and sleeping at Thérèse’s.

She’ll be happy. - Are you leaving because of Nuttheccio?

I understand how you feel. Things have changed in the last six months.

You’ll be back on the right path if you take some money

and can go with Thérèse. Am I right?

If you don’t want to work with Rémy, just leave it.

Many people give up after four years in prison.

Once I sell this, I’ll give you some money to go to Provence.

Then come back with different ideas.

Tell me. - What?

I need your gun tomorrow. - Are you crazy?

You’ll understand.

I can’t fight someone. I just can’t anymore.

So to protect Rémy, and if things go wrong,

I’ll shoot at the ceiling, just to scare them.

I don’t want you leaving with a gun.

I don’t agree.

You’re not a child anymore. - Where is it?

Top drawer, on the right. You can turn on the light.

It’s well hidden!

Do you have bullets?

On the right, all the way at the back there are two magazines.

Thanks. That will help me. Don’t worry.

Take some money if you need it. - Okay.

And don’t forget your cigarettes, they’re on the table.

We’ll be right back.

What’s going on? What’s that light?

Hello.

What time is he coming? - 7 o’clock.

Are you sure you won’t do anything stupid again?

I can never be sure...

I’m tired of eating for free and staying at Thérèse’s for nothing.

I can give you money.

You’re the second one today. You all think I can’t do it anymore.

I didn’t say you couldn’t do it anymore. I don’t give anything for nothing.

I bought a house, and soon... - You need a location manager.

That way it feels less like charity.

You’ll have work, don’t worry.

Alright, let’s talk about it in twenty years.

Stay seated.

Who is it? - It’s Jean.

Why did you come? - To see how you’re doing.

It could be better. I ate snails last night.

They’re a bit heavy on my stomach. Do you have a remedy?

Did you read the newspaper? - Yes, I saw it.

Gilbert Varnove: victim of a settling of scores?

He got off lightly. What do you think? - Nothing.

Who gave you the address?

You did, you were drunk. - He forgot it.

He was completely drunk. Easy on the alcohol.

You talk too much when you drink. - What would I have said?

What you told Jean, that Arlette was murdered.

What did I say? - Almost nothing.

When Maurice was in prison, he killed.

Gilbert had his wife killed to silence her.

That’s a bit much. Arlette wasn’t a snitch.

As for him, he wouldn’t betray his accomplices.

That’s not like me.

No. - Gilbert was a bastard.

He wanted to help Arlette. I haven’t spoken to him since.

I already know all that, I was in the living room myself.

And I could hear everything.

I’m leaving.

Wait, let’s have a drink.

No, I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Sorry I came without being invited.

Hello. - Hello.

This is Silien. - Hello.

Hello, Mr. Silien.

Make me a sandwich. - Okay.

Say...

I’ve got stomach pain from those snails last night.

I feel completely off.

And?

I spent the whole afternoon in the car.

Apart from one man, it looks empty. There’s a poodle that keeps barking.

And then? - I called Mr. Delétang.

He told me the writer and his wife are staying in Biarritz.

I think a friend of theirs is staying there until they return.

So that’s Silien? - Yes, he brought equipment.

What equipment? - For the safe.

Why are you working with him? He’s not trustworthy.

Why didn’t you ask Jean?

He wouldn’t have been able to get this kind of equipment.

We’ll see.

Silien is a friend anyway.

And he will remain a friend until proven otherwise.

I’m making sure he doesn’t meet Rémy.

If there’s a problem, it’s my fault.

You know, me and friends...

I have to go. Do you want to check the bag?

As long as everything is there, there’s no problem...

Did you bring screws? - Eight.

That’s two packs. - The job takes about two hours.

If the first set breaks, that means four extra hours of drilling.

If the second breaks, you have to escape as fast as possible.

Rémy knows how to do it. - Okay, see you later.

Try to return the suction cup. They’re hard to find.

And they’re hard to make.

If it works, you won’t regret it.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

He’s finally gone, your Silien.

You could have been nicer. - I don’t see why.

With the police.

Get me Inspector Salignari.

Hello?

Is Maurice still there? - No, he just left.

Am I disturbing you? - No, come in.

Do you want a whisky? - Yes, please.

You like brown, right? - Yes, it’s my favorite color.

Maurice likes it too. - What?

Brown. It’s because of your eyes. Am I disturbing you?

If you had arrived ten minutes earlier, you would have caught him.

You can’t like a color if you’ve only seen it once.

Your eyes... Maurice is lucky.

Be reasonable and give me the address where Maurice works tonight.

Give me a sign if you want to talk.

Beautiful lady, be reasonable. And above all: don’t shout.

Tell me where that hotel is that you visited this afternoon.

And?

Boulevard du Général Grenier, in Neuilly.

I hope you’re not lying, because I’m coming right back.

Flip, that’s enough, come here. Come here, now.

Hands up. Don’t move or I’ll shoot.

Do what we say. - Is this a robbery?

It’s just a surprise party. You’ll enjoy it, come in.

Lights on and head down.

Look at the wall and don’t turn around.

It’s off to a good start. - Now to the piggy bank.

What do you mean? - The safe.

The money is in the bank.

I know, but we’ll take a look anyway.

Bedtime. Stay calm.

On your stomach.

If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t start shouting.

Keep an eye on him. - Okay.

Can’t you find a better job than this?

Of course, we want to join the police soon.

We need some money first.

Enough talking. You’re disturbing my colleague.

The dirty man.

Rémy?

Let’s go! - I’m finishing.

Stop everything, let’s run.

That bastard Silien. First left, quickly.

Give it to me. - What?

The rifle.

Damn it!

What is it? - I’ve been hit.

Go on without me.

Give me that gun.

Keep going, don’t forget that filthy Silien.

Thérèse?

Hello doctor. - Hello, Maurice.

Is it serious? - A small hole above the armpit.

Did I faint just from that? - Maurice, the last time I saw you,

I told you the years you spent in prison

did you no good. I also told you you had an iron deficiency.

You misunderstood. I meant spinach.
