[ Speaking French ]

Non, non, non.
TroIs. TroIs.

I'm taking your number, fella.
I've got it.

That's in case
you screwed me.



[ Horn Honks ]

[ Speaking French ]

- Barthelemy.
- Pardon?

Bart—

Barthelemy.

Ah, pass.

- Barthelemy. Barthelemy.
- Huh?

- Uh, Barthelemy.
- Barthelemy, yeah.

- [ Speaking French ]
- Which one?

- [ Speaking French ]
- Barthelemy.

[ Speaking French ]

Barthelemy?
Barthelemy.

I'm Doyle.

- Ah, Doyle.
- Doyle.



- Henri Barthelemy. We're expecting you.
- Barthelemy.

Yeah.
Little spare-time work, huh?

- Narcotics.
- In the fish?

In the fish. Unfortunately,
this is our information, Monsieur Doyle.

[ Speaking
French ]

[ Speaking French ]

Oh, pardon me.

Uh, Inspector Diron and Miletto.
Monsieur Doyle de New York.

- We shall work together.
- Great.

Henri!
[ Speaking French ]

[ Both Speaking French ]

[ Speaking French ]

- What's all this about?
- [ Speaking French ]

- What?
- Oh, I'm sorry.

April Fools' Day.

You know,
the day ofthe first ofApril.

You see, this information
was a bad joke.

Over here,
on April Fools' Day...

it's a custom to pin a fish on people,
you know?

Only it's usually a paper one.

They really pinned it to you
this time, didn't they?

- This way, please.

[ SIren Continues ]

[ Toilet Flushes ]

"Doyle,James R."

[ Speaking French ]

MercI.

Uh, "42 years old.

Nickname, Popeye."

Cute.

Spinach.

What are you doing with my file
in the shit house, huh?

This another one ofyour,
uh, April Fool jokes?

No. I like reading it here.

Uh, 60 kilos of heroin.

It was a big arrest.

Myyoung Miletto, we have
an authentic American hero here.

[ Chuckles ] Where the fuck
did you get that?

Mr. Doyle, I was requested
to help you.

I didn't request
that you come here...

but naturally, I wanted to know
who you were.

I found out.

After this big arrest,
it disappeared.

I read in the papers that somebody
stole your heroin...

right out of
police headquarters.

Was it your friends?

- [ Water Running ]
- My friends are still on the force.

How many men
have you killed?

Hey, wait a fucking minute.
Wait a minute!

Am I being interrogated here?

Am I working with you or am I some kind
of goddamn suspect or what?

Five.

Five people killed.

It seems quite a lot.

I've been a New York cop
for14 years.

I know that the dope that comes
out ofthis city has killed
a lot more than I have.

Two ofthe dead
were policemen.

Right?

Miletto,
show him his office.

Mr. Doyle,
this is, uh...

your office
right here.

- Yeah.
- [ Toilet Flushing ]

Right next to the, uh—
the shit house, huh?

You got a telephone,
an extension.

It's terrific.
Really nice.

Hey, Henry,
it's beautiful.
Really beautiful.

Yeah, I'd be better off
in New York on welfare.

Hey, poor Popeye. You are,
how do you say, homesick.

I sent for some spinach.

Hey, Barthelemy. Why don't you knock off
the chicken shit, huh?

Look, I'd rather be a lamppost in New York
than the president of France...

but I came over here for one thing
and one thing only- to get Charnier.

And that's what I'm gonna do.

¤'m gonna get him and put him
where he belongs, even ifyou won't.

Hey, bravo. It's D-day in Marseilles.
The Americans have landed.

- [ Speaking French ]
- [ Buzzes ]

[ Speaking French ]

Hey, this Charnier ofyours, to begin with,
this is certainly not his name.

Second, there is no record
ofsuch a man...

here, in Paris
or in the streets.

But there is more ofa record on you,
and it's not very nice.

I must remind you it's you
that let him escape.

Come. Back to work. But you come only
with us to observe, huh?

You carry no gun, I hope.

You know, it's illegal
for foreigners, even policemen.

No. No gun. I'm strictly by the book.
You read my file, right?

That's why I asked.

[ Shutter Clicks ]

[ Chattering ]

- [ Speaking French ]
- [ Man On Radio ] Oui Henri. Oui.

Okay. Doyle.

You just stay close to me
and observe. You are my guest.

You do nothing,
say nothing, okay?

Who, me?
I'm naked, remember?

You must think I'm some sort
of hero or something.

No, no. I'm just here to watch
how the pros do it.

- Yeah. I'm your guest.
- Okay.

[ Speaking French ]

- Henri. Doyle.
- [ HenrI On Bullhorn ]

[ Speaking French ]

[ Screaming ]

Hey!

- Hey!
- [ Screaming Continues ]

Doyle! Doyle!

Doyle, come back!
Doyle!

Doyle! Raoul!

[ Siren Wailing In Distance ]

[ Horns Honking ]

[ Grunting ]

Fuckyou! Fuck!
Knock you— Fuck it!

[ Doyle ]
You bastard!

Get him off me,
goddamn it!

[ Speaking French ]

I want him arrested!
You're under arrest, you son ofa bitch!

Shut up!You've got no
police powers here, Doyle!

Forget It.
Raoul!Come on.

- Come on, Doyle. Come on.
- [ Doyle ] I want that bastard collared!

- You let him go?
- He's ours.

- What?
- He's ours. How do you think
he got out ofthere? Come on.

[ Dog Barking ]

Holy shit.

[ Barking Continues ]

- [ Siren Wailing In Distance ]
- Christ.

- [ Meows ]
- [ Siren Approaching ]

[ Henri Speaking French ]

Why don't you go back to New York
and kill policemen...

since that's what you do best?
[ Speaking French ]

Two months. You understand? Two months
infiltration wasted through your madness.

Ifyou'd have put me in the picture,
he'd still be alive.

No. Ifyou'd done what I told you,
he would still be alive.

[ Speaking French ]

Hey, what did he say?
What did he say?

Look at all this stuff.
Must have been acid, huh?

Look at that acid. Must be enough there
for 50 kilos. Maybe double that.

You hit them too soon.
Hey, you screwed up.

I have a job foryou, Doyle.

You want to know what people say?
You talk to them.

What do you mean?
Hey, you mean interrogate them?

What am I supposed to use,
sign language?

I don't speak French,
remember?

- Miletto will be your interpreter. Miletto!
- Oui?

- [ Speaking French ]
- Hey, shove it.

No, my friend,
you shove it!

You don't help us outside.

You just fuck up.

What do you know about Marseilles?
You think it's Harlem?

Just kicking blacks
around the streets?

You get depositions
from each one ofthem.

I don't give a damn what they say,
but I want it in writing.

Hey, look, I came over here to nail
that frog son ofa bitch good.

That's not part of my plan
to sit around beating my meat...

while you French narcs
grab all the credit.

That's what you want, right?
You stick me next to the shit house...

while you pull down
all the medals, right?

That's right.

- [ Siren Wailing ]
- [ Tires Screeching ]

[ Siren Fading In Distance ]

[ Dog Barks In Distance ]

[ Speaking French ]

We should decide the matter
ofthe rendezvous...

a place to meet afteryou
have made the delivery.

- How's New York?
- [ Chuckles ]

You know better
than that, William.

New York is hazardous to your health,
at least to my health.

But it is
an amusing city.

[ Speaking French ]

How did you do it,
if it's not a secret?

Oh, it was very simple
and very droll.

Eighty-three policemen
wanted to talk to me.

And 52 ofthem chose to
talk to my money instead.

I love a city where you always know
where you stand.

[ Whistles ]

Hey, Hank. I'm really
learning a lot up here.

- You're really missing it, buddy.
- [ Speaking French ]

This is Nick Volatti. We arrest you already.
One conviction.

I'm gonna take you right down in that alley
there. See, right down there.

I'm gonna start- I'm gonna start on
your throat right here.

- [ Clicks Tongue ]
- [ Laughs ]

- I'm gonna bust everything in it.
- [ Laughing ]

You'd like that, huh? Then your belly.
I'm gonna start working on your belly.

I'm gonna hit you so fucking hard in the belly,
it's gonna breakyour backbone.

- [ Speaking French ]
- You compris that?

- Non.
- No. You don't understand, huh?

- [ Laughing ]
- I'm gonna work on your arms.
I'm gonna set them over a curb.

I'm gonna use them for a trampoline.
I'm gonna jump up and down on them.

Then your kneecaps.
One, two. Kneecaps. Oatmeal.

I'm gonna make oatmeal
out ofyour fucking kneecaps.

When ¤ get done with you, you're gonna
put me right in Charnier's lap, right?

- Je ne le connais pas.
- "J'ennais pas"? Yeah, right. Ah, food.

What did you do,
cremate the fucking thing?

- Eh?
- You cremated it. You burnt—

You got the ketchup there. Where's the mayo?
The mayonnaise. Mayonnaise.

- Mayo. Mayo, mayo, mayo.
Watch my mouth— Mayo.

Relish. Right.
Mayo and relish. Get that.

- Send Miletto up, too, will you?
- Mayo.

- Miletto!
- Yes, yes, Miletto.

[ Chuckles ]
That's good, huh?

Hey, Miletto!
Come on, get up here!

I want you to ask
this fuck something.

Ask him if he ever, uh, picked his feet
in Poughkeepsie.

- What?
- This comfortable foryou? Is it okay?

- I didn't understand.
- Yeah. Ask him— Ah. You ever
pickyour feet in Poughkeepsie?

[ Speaking French ]

- I'm gonna take a walk.
- Doyle, the orders.

Get your orders
right here.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

Uh, I'd like a, um, Four Roses straight up
and water on the side.

[ Speaking French ]

Four Roses straight up

Okay. Um—

[ Chuckles ]

-Jack qui?

Jackie, yeah.
Jackie Daniel.

-Jackie?
-Jackie. Uh—

Let's see, um—

Right- Right there.

- "El scotcho."
- Whiskey? In a glass?

- In a glass?
- In a glass, yeah.

No, I don't want ice.
I don't—

Uh, excuse me, miss. Um—

Excuse me, ladies. I was wondering
if I could offeryou a, uh, little drink?

- A drink. Would you like a drink?
- [ Speaking French ]

- Huh?
- [ Speaking French ]

- Mind if I sit down?

- [ Speaking French ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Pretty good drinker.

- Double?
- Double.

- I hope those Hell's Angels come back.

No, no, no, no.
Have another. You.

[ Telephone Buzzes ]

Oui. Hello. Inspector.

Yes. How are you?

Well, i-it's sunny.
Sunny. Warm.

Yes. There too.
[ Speaking French ]

Well, the plan is going
as you said it would.

[ Henri ]
No, I don't like it. No.

Ifthis man, Charnier, is here in Marseilles
and sees him, it will be very dangerous.

Well, I have two men
on Doyle day and night...

but he is, uh,
uh, unpredictable.

No. I would not
do it this way.

First, l would tell Doyle myself
that he's being used as, uh...

how do you say,
uh, as bait.

Well, he's your man,
not mine, Inspector.

Oh, yes. He's very evident.
Very visible. Yes.

Hello? Hello? Hello?
[ Speaking French ]

Hello. Hello.

Y-Yes, operator,
we were cut off.

I was talking to
the New York Police Department.

Hello.

What do you mean it's
the French operator's fault?

What? Hello. Hello. Hello.
[ Speaking French ]

[ Speaking French ]

[ Horns Honking ]

[ Siren Wailing In Distance ]

- [ Horns Honking ]
- I wanna go right there, not here.

- [ Speaking French ]
- Ahh.

Do you speak English?
Miss?

You speak English?

[ Speaking French ]

[ Horn Honking ]

Hey!

Hey, Henry!

Pretty good.

Well, you had
a two-hour lunch.

Are you investigating
the, uh, greasy spoons?

Doyle, this is
Mademoiselle Lefevre.

- [ French ] ...Monsieur Doyle,
detective de New York.
- Bonjour.

I thought that
you had left us.

No. I was, uh—
I was hanging around.

I wanted to find out, uh, why Charnier
likes this burg so much, you know.

- I think I found out.
- Found out what?

I found out that while Charnier
is kind ofwalking around free...

the police are inside
having two-hour lunches.

Can I get you a taxi
to the airport?

- No, I don't think so. I think I'll just stay here.
- As you wish.

Yeah, well, listen.
I want you to do me a favor.

Get your two tails
off my back, will you?

What, is the tall one your brother-in-law?
Is that it?

- Listen, Doyle—
- No, you listen!

I came over to get that fucking Charnier,
and I'm gonna get his ass.

And I could do a lot better ifSacco
and Vanzetti were off my tail, understand?

You gotta put them back on the school
crossing where they belong.

They might get run over by a bicycle.
I don't want that on my conscience.

Nice to have met you.

[ Speaking French ]

You want this ball? Huh?

Come on. Come on.
Come over and get it.

God, I wish this
Blanc de Blancs would travel.

I'd like to take 20 cases
with me back to Washington.

All you Americans
have that misconception.

Wine will travel. It is people
who have difficulty.

[ Both Chuckling ]

By the way, they understood about
you not traveling with the shipment.

Good. I'm pleased you all continue
to see the situation as I do.

Bill.

Has Geneva taken
the necessary first step?

Exactly as you wanted it...

with a good spread against inflation
and floating currencies-

100,000 South African rands,
50 in Canadian dollars, another 50 in Yen.

200,000 all together.
Ten percent as per the agreement.

Okay. Tell them the final
shipment is en route.

- Once it arrives, we cook for a few days.
- Understood.

We are expecting you for dinner.
A little party.

Very informal,
you know.

I'd love to,
but, uh, no can do.

Official business.

Looks like you guys
want us back here again.

I gotta be in Paris tonight to have dinner
with the minister ofdefense.

Talk numbers and bases.

Thank you very much
for the lunch, Alain.

Incidentally,
Geneva's counting on you.

Sorry. They wanted to
make it clear.

Naturally.

My expectations ofthem
are the same.

Be sure
they know that too.

[ Speaking French ]

Listen, um, you play
good volleyball.

You bounce around
a lot.

I'll see you
down at the beach.

Sacco and Van—

[ Speaking French ]

I must say, Mr. Doyle...

that you were the one person
I did not want to see again.

- [ Speaking French ]
- [ Speaking French ]

My associates here...

want to discuss things with you, Doyle,
but in their fashion.

I told them
it would be useless.

You would die first.

And, ofcourse, then
we would never find out...

what you have learned
about our little business.

That was the expensive
lesson of New York.

You're a good cop.

Honest. Quite stupid.

But honest.

Up your ass, Charnier.

I'll tell you
what I found out.

I found out that you eat shit,
you fucking frog, you!

- [ Charnier] That's not good enough, Doyle.
- You goddamn scumbag, you!

Hello.

I have a son
just about your age.

Nice young man.

I-I'm English, you know.
I heard you speak English.

I heard you shout.
You mustn't shout.

They never listen.

I have lived in Marseilles
for 42 years...

even through the war.

I married a Frenchman.

He wouldn't listen to me.

Then my son went away.

Nobody listens to me.

Oh, no, no, no.

You mustn't do that.
You mustn't scratch.

You'll get infected,
and then you'll be very sick.

You must, uh—
That's it.

[ Chuckling ]

[ Chuckles ]

When will they
come around again?

Soon. Soon.

- But you mustn't shout.

They sent me over here because
I was the only one who recognized you.

That's all.

I didn't find out anything.

[ Sighs ]
You fuckhead, you.

This ain't my town. I can't even get
a goddamn drink here.

Come on. Come on!

You know,
I believe you.

Okay.

[ Speaking French ]

Give me—

Give me—
Give me—

Give me—

[ Dog Barking In Distance ]

[ Engine Starts ]

Fifty-two men weкe looking

Oh, shit. If I had 52 men
looking for somebody...

I'd find him in

Yeah, you'кe goddamn

Bet your fucking ass

Scag city.

I'd like to pull the goddamn
city down brick by brick...
