Les petits meurtres d'Agatha Christie (2009–…): Season 10, Episode 2 - L'homme au complet marron - full transcript
Inspector Laurence goes undercover as a female secretary for the French Secret Service; adapted from "The Man in the Brown Suit".
I am listening to you.
Code 6WW. Urgent message.
I think I identified the Colonel.
Hello?
Miss Fran?oise?
What is happening ?
You saw nothing, heard nothing,
and you will be fine.
Is that clear, Mr. Touchard?
Yes Yes. Very clear.
Good night.
Jules?
Jules?
Where were you ?
- What was that fuss?
- I don't know.
An exhaust pipe.
- "An exhaust pipe"?
- Yes.
What's wrong ?
- You're all pale.
- No no. It's okay.
Come on ... Come on, back to sleep.
I would do well
to catch up with my dream.
Nadine?
But what ...
My God !
I won't pull through this time.
- It's ... it's good to see you again.
- Nadine ...
- Gilbert ...
- Yes, I'll call him.
- I'll call him.
- No.
You are going to make it. Nadine ...
Stay with me.
Hold on. Nadine ...
Nadine, no.
Nadine, no.
And shit!
She was a damn good woman.
The hideout in Montreuil in 1943,
Do you remember ?
Without her,
half of the network went through it.
Why did she come to you?
She didn't have time
to tell me.
I have a little idea.
She was fucked up and knew it,
then die in your arms ...
- What, "to die in my arms"?
- Don't take me for an idiot.
- She was crazy about you.
- Oh...
That's what I recovered
at the secret services.
- What mission was she working on?
- I can't say anything. You know.
I want to find
whoever did this.
I proposed a job to you
several times.
You hire me,
I find him and I quit.
Does it suit you like that?
It's been a while
we're trying to find
a guy nicknamed "the Colonel".
A smart. A vicious one.
He set up a network
which informs the Russians.
And Nadine, in all this?
Hired as secretary
at the Lille Opera,
she was watching a dancer,
Tatiana Pochenko,
suspected of being close to the Colonel.
Did you send her to the pipe breaker?
She was a damn good agent.
Yes. But now it's
a damn good dead agent.
You can't imagine the stakes.
No. Effectively.
We risk
a Third World War.
A genius has developed a weapon
nuclear power of phenomenal scope.
Cocorico, it's French,
but we have not been able to keep the secret.
There's a mole in the lab.
Everything has been photographed.
Good job guys.
We take care of everything, Swan.
Let the police
and the press outside of that.
Microfilms would be in France,
but not for long.
Tatiana Pochenko performs
regularly in Moscow, at the Bolshoi.
I bet the Colonel uses it
to pass the documents.
Welcome to the Secret Service, Swan.
Sir! Sir!
Call for help, quickly!
Sir! Sir.
You hear me ?
That bastard sped up
when this guy was crossing.
Huh? Are you sure ?
Dead sure!
Do not move.
We take care of you.
What kind of car,
was it?
An Opel, a captain.
My brother has the same in red.
The plates?
It did not stand out
like in the movies.
The driver was a man,
but I can not say more.
I hope he won't get away with it.
Goodbye.
Wait, sir!
Sir, I am here.
I am with you.
Sir ...
Mr. Touchard.
Jules.
Nice to meet you. Me, I'm Alice.
are expertn
00:08:15,380 --> 00:08:16,220
It's Alice.
Heartache ?
No. Cold.
Tell me, Marlene,
you are an expert
in classical dance?
I know about it?
As a kid, I only dreamed of this:
become a little ballerina.
I even made myself a tutu.
You should have seen me.
I think I kept a photo.
No that will be good.
Thanks, Marlene.
Mom didn't want
me to take lessons,
so I was training on my own
in my room, in front of the mirror.
Arm in a crown, thumbs tucked in ...
Yes. Thanks, Marlene.
It is very good.
Tell me, Tatiana Pochenko,
does that name ring a bell?
Are you kidding me, commissioner?
She is one of the biggest.
Everytime
she rises in the air,
I have tears in my eyes.
Yes.
Commissioner, someone named
Gilbert Loyson has just arrived.
Let him in.
- How about you go to the pharmacy?
- It's useless.
I treat myself with plants.
Good. Go ahead anyway.
My throat is on fire all of a sudden.
Find me something.
I have maybe...
No, no, Marlene.
To the pharmacy.
The pharmacy.
Thank you.
Always determined to join us
and capture the Colonel?
More than ever.
It remains to sneak us
discreetly in the Opera.
There is no need to procrastinate.
Someone has to replace Nadine.
- I told you...
- I have a solution.
But...
It's not going to please you at all.
Say it.
Do you remember
this little party of the Liberation
with the people of the network?
- If I remember !
Hold on...
You don't want to ...
Yes. That's exactly
what I think about.
I'll find him for you, your Colonel.
But before,
the commissioner
Laurence must disappear.
What's going on ?
It's the commissioner.
My God !
Nothing serious, at least?
A terrible stroke.
He fell suddenly.
It's my fault ! He was telling me :
"My throat is on fire."
Oh, commissioner!
Oh sorry !
Sorry !
- Step aside.
- Is he going to be okay?
I hope so.
- What is happening ?
- It's horrible.
Without this cold, I would have seen
that he was not in his normal state.
What? Who ?
The commissioner had a stroke.
What?
My father also had a stroke.
He remained in a wheelchair
until the end of his days.
He no longer recognized me.
It was awful.
Stop, please, Marlene!
He's a tough guy, Laurence.
I will go
get his stuff.
If he ever wakes up.
Of course he will wake up!
Who I'm going to argue with
if not, me?
More,
I had a case for him.
Huh? What a story ?
No, well ...
This morning,
a guy calls me at the newspaper.
He is a concierge at the Opera.
He tells me
that he has a revelation for me.
I give him an appointment, I wait,
and by the time he arrives,
he gets run over by a driver.
That's all ?
No of course not.
It's not all.
The driver crushed him
to prevent him from speaking.
- And there is a witness.
- Where is he ?
So yeah ... uh ...
You know the similarity between
a janitor and a journalist?
Their overflowing imagination.
The guy was in really bad shape.
There it must be cooled.
His name is Jules Touchard.
Well, we'll find out, Avril.
We will find out.
I'm going to the hospital while I wait.
Tell Marlene
that I keep her informed.
Not even a word, nothing.
Barely employed, already flown.
- Inadmissible.
- She understands you.
Understanding will not be enough.
We absolutely need
a new secretary for tomorrow.
What does she say ?
Yes. We will see.
What did she say ?
She quickly sends us
the rare pearl.
"The rare pearl" ?
The cream of the crop.
I need to calm down.
That's it, I'm calm.
Ah, director.
The timing may be wrong,
but I checked the accounts,
and there is something weird.
You are right, Eustace.
The timing is very bad.
You just have to wait
the cream of the crop of secretaries.
So ?
So nothing at all.
What about nothing ?
Alice, please.
I almost broke everything,
in this stupid hospital.
They didn't want to tell me anything.
I couldn't even see him.
And the doctor was pulling
a sad face.
I don't think it's good at all.
Oh my God !
Oh my God !
I whined like a kid
I'm not telling you.
He was an exceptional man.
No, but stop!
Until proven otherwise,
he is not dead.
We are going to stick together
and keep hope.
Alice ...
A woman lives with the commissioner.
- What?
- Look.
When I think
that a week ago, he said to me:
"The only being with whom I could
live, Marlene, is you. "
And you believed it?
Yes, I believed him.
Excuse me, I ...
Oh, I'm choking.
I'll go get some fresh air.
I'll get back to the hospital.
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
I will do as you say.
We are going to be strong.
Excuse me for surprising you.
I did not know
that there was someone.
Is that ...
Commissioner...
Sorry to tell you like that.
He had a stroke.
He is between life and death.
Here.
I am leaving.
- Sorry.
- No, Marlene.
Okay ... it's me.
No ! Marlene ...
Elongate.
Traced back.
And...
one two Three...
No, don't score!
More expression!
Classes.
Elongate.
I want feeling! Classes.
Plie.
Plie, plie.
Change, change.
No ! No !
No, it is not OK !
No, you score.
Stay !
Change, change, stay!
No. Preparation...
And ... travel ...
And hop !
No, we're resuming.
We start from the beginning of the music.
Beginning of the swings.
And one, two, three ...
No, not that kind!
Expression, emotion!
Without the music, Andr?. And...
One, two, three ... No!
I want emotion in the arm.
- Feeling.
- What are you doing?
The question I was going to ask you.
Are you waiting for the audience to dance?
- We go back.
- No. We do not resume.
- Sorry ?
- You are going to apologize first.
I'm fed up,
the way you talk to me.
You don't give anything in rehearsal!
I don't care about your technique, Tatiana.
Stop dazzling us
with your mastery.
Who are you to talk to me like that?
Where did you dance?
People come to see me
for my technique, for my mastery.
They never get
moved by you.
- Where you go ?
- In my dressing room, wait for your apologies.
But shit! Shit !
What a pest!
He is right. She gives nothing.
She doesn't realize how lucky she is.
What are we doing, Mr. Mallet?
Play me the most gloomy
requiem that you know.
Maybe I could ...
No, not now, my little one.
Andr?, we're going back to the arabesque.
Okay ?
What is it ?
- Got a problem, Mr. Miller?
- No no.
Pretty cute, the new one, eh?
Lisa, dancers like you,
there are thousands of them.
Mind your own concerns.
Is that clear ?
Yes.
What i need
I pay you only to answer
all the questions!
Go!
[Russian]
What are you doing here?
You are mad
You know I'm being watched.
No one saw me.
Don't stay here
the secretary was killed.
What?
I'll tell you this,
She wasn't clean.
Shit.
you have to leave this place
Hush.
I can't leave
You know I am stuck here
Microfilms?
Excuse me, commissioner.
I had one of these fears.
- I thought you were dead!
- I'm sorry, Marlene.
I did not want to know.
Everyone lives as they want.
The important thing is that you are okay.
The rest is none of my business.
It's not what you think.
I had a cousin ...
I loved him so much.
He loved wearing my clothes.
Marlene, I need you.
You know...
your privacy ...
It's not that.
It's about saving the world!
"Save the world" dressed as a woman?
Alice says women
will save the world ...
Marl?ne, I am on a mission.
Okay ?
You have to swear, not a word!
Especially not to April.
What? But it's impossible !
You cannot imagine her condition.
Swear on what you hold
most valuable!
I don't have much of a value.
Apart from my fish Bubble.
There you have it. It's exactly that.
Take example
on your goldfish, Marlene.
Become your goldfish.
Imitate his discretion. Okay ?
Waiting,
i only have a few hours
to become a credible secretary.
"A secretary" ?
But then, it's impossible,
unless there is a miracle!
You are not a woman.
You are so...
Finally...
I want to say...
You are very manly, though.
So a secretary ...
And it takes years
to become a secretary!
Well, I have one night, Marlene.
Just one night.
Are you sure
that it is essential?
There are details
that will make you a woman.
For example,
very important, the handbag.
Indispensable, the handbag!
You have to put in as many things as possible
and that you never find anything there.
Get upset saying:
"Where are my keys ?"
There there will be
no doubt for anyone,
you are indeed a woman.
Here. The little finger ... Blow.
Want to put on those hats?
Where did you find them?
My mother went on vacation.
I took the opportunity.
I took everything that was lying around.
I took that too.
What? It does not fit me ?
Do you want me to be sincere?
Well. It's okay, I got it.
And the voice?
- Say hello, to see.
- Hello.
No.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
- It was good, that last hello.
- I would prefer..
..to say goodbye
and go and bury me in Mexico.
Commissioner, do not be discouraged.
We'll get there.
Obviously, there is more to be done
to become a secretary.
For this, a little test is necessary.
"A little test"?
We will go to the police station.
Good evening.
Do you have any messages for
that poor commissioner Laurence?
No, Marlene. Nothing at all.
Thank you.
Still in the office?
- Your mom, right?
- No !
She's a friend.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Oh I see.
A little evening with friends?
Can I get invited
to have a drink?
It's nice, but ...
No way !
We have things to tell to each other,
woman stuff.
Never mind.
- Hello, my beauties.
- Hi.
Come on, I'll show you my office.
Your mum".
Look carefully.
I put the sheet in the center,
I spin the little roulette wheel,
I lift the little bar ...
The sheet inside,
I go back ... and that's it.
Very well.
It's not that complicated.
- Good.
- Good. I dictate:
"The victim had been
repeatedly stabbed
"with the kitchen knife
found in the laundry room. "
Hold on, hold on.
You are going too fast.
I don't dictate at this speed.
No. You, you go
much faster than that.
But we forgot an essential detail.
A first name and a last name.
We do not know
what is your name.
Look at me.
Brigitte ... Yes!
- that will suit you very well.
- No, not "Brigitte".
I hate "Brigitte".
What are you doing here, Marlene?
I thought you were in the hospital.
Good evening madam.
Miss.
- Brigitte is not married.
- Sorry. Miss.
I won't bother you for long.
No news from the commissioner.
It?s starting to worry me.
Good. I'll leave you, Marlene.
Brigitte ... If you allow
that I call you Brigitte.
Good-bye, Mr. Divisional.
- Oh !
- Oh my God !
Don't make that face!
This is all very, very positive.
- "Positive"?
- Yes.
You find ?
Looks like a bulldog
drooling in front of a marrow bone.
If Tricard fell
for it,
it is successful 5 out of 5.
There is someone ?
Mrs. Touchard?
Mrs. Touchard?
Scream, and you're dead.
- Where are the microfilms?
- What microfilms?
I have a message from your mom:
her back hurts horribly,
it's cold
in her apartment in Moscow.
She needs your compassion.
And we, microfilms.
A word from the Colonel,
and your dear mother will no longer be able to
ever send postcards.
- Do you know him?
- I've never seen him before!
What are we going to do
Who do you work for?
Who is the Colonel?
Who is the Colonel?
Do you answer or do I shoot?
- It's a job, killing someone.
- Stay where you are!
You have no idea in what hell
you stuck your nose.
You have a bomb.
In your place, I would get rid of it
quickly, before it explodes.
[Russian]
My god, Sergei!
What have you done?
They will go after mom
Calm down
As long as they don't know where
the microfilms are, they won't act.
We will negotiate mom crossing the border
then we give them everything
Don't stay here. Go home.
I will take care of him
and join you
Go home, quickly!
Do not forget :
let yourself be guided
through your chest,
the rest will follow.
- I will never make it.
- of cource you will!
Think about your friend.
Do you want to avenge her, yes or no?
Yes.
- My feet hurt so much!
- It's normal.
It comes with the job of being a woman.
Go!
I am with you, Commissioner.
We breathe ... and we go!
- Take good care of my car.
- Yes.
she will slip through our fingers
she can't be controled
him as well
What?
I don't know
I will leave
Yes, me too
See you soon
Not yet arrived?
It is only less than a quarter.
I don't ask that she be
well formed like the other, but ...
at least she must be punctual.
Sorry to come back to this,
but something is wrong
in the accounts.
10,000 F.
"10,000 F is missing"?
New?
Yes. I'm on it
for a few days.
Anyone else know?
Of course not.
What do I do ?
Nothing.
- I'm not going to...
- Close eyes ?
Oh yes, Eustache.
You will close your eyes.
Unless you want
that I rummage through your schemes?
But what are you talking about?
What about your phone calls to Moscow?
It's for work.
In the meantime, ten minutes late.
She's still not here.
While the slightest of correctness
would be to have a little head start. No ?
Yes.
Shit !
He was just a bum.
This is the truth.
Still, he was weird yesterday.
"I do things
that will make me money. "
You speak !
A hole in the earth
that it earned him, that's all.
Still, it will give me a void.
Hello.
Hello.
I am the new secretary.
Excuse me, I caught a cold.
Being sick on the 1st day,
It's not terrible.
And ... she has a name,
the new secretary?
Brigitte.
You can call me Brigitte.
The offices are on the first floor.
Take the grand staircase.
Very well.
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Excuse me.
I am Alice Avril,
from La Voix du Nord.
I would like to see the director.
He only receives by appointment.
You have to go through his secretary.
Miss Brigitte!
It's for you.
Thank you.
Hello. Excuse me.
Alice Avril, La Voix du Nord ...
- Haven't we seen each other?
- I do not believe.
Excuse me,
I have a very, very sore throat.
Could you fix me
a meeting with your boss?
I do not know.
I do not think that...
Oh come on
loosen up a little!
You don't tremble
in front of your boss.
That is to say
it's my first day ...
Well, precisely!
Bosses are like husbands
you have to watch them from the start,
otherwise they will treat you
like a slave.
Yes, well ... That is to say ...
Oh no ? Submissive and docile?
Take charge.
We are no longer in the 19th century.
That's enough now.
I will be late.
No, but wait.
I'll leave you my contact.
You can tell your boss
that it is very, very urgent?
No, but it's crazy.
I have already met you.
We should not be visiting
the same places.
That's for sure.
I like distinguished places,
discreet, with class ...
and charm.
Have a good day.
A bit stiff up the ass.
Madame Touchard, is that you?
Are you
Jules Touchard's wife?
Would you answer some questions?
It would be for an article.
What if we take a photo.
A picture of myself
in La Voix du Nord?
It can work out.
So...
Last night,
a noise in the street woke me up.
A shot, that's for sure.
- "A shot" ?
- Yes.
Jules must have seen something.
And that's why he was killed.
Huh? Kill ?
Did I say "killed"?
That is to say...
It may not have been
an accident, that's it.
The driver knocked him over on purpose.
I'm sorry.
[Russian]
Prepare yourself, we leave this evening
Hush.
How do we leave?
If the colonel sent this guy
to recover the microfilms,
the he understood
you wanted to betray him.
- shall I tell everything to the french secret service?
- certainly not!
they could protect us...
but for how long...
and for mom,
they won't be able to do anything
- mom is fucked!
- Don't say that!
Shut up.
why did I start this mess ?
I would love her to be here
we can still get out
we can negotiate
with this rotten colonel
but we must not stay here
Looking for something ?
Hello.
Excuse me,
I think I got lost.
I am the new secretary.
I'm looking for Mr. Latour's office.
Take the corridor to the left,
and go up the stairs.
Thank you so much.
Am I looking at
Tatiana Pochenko?
- Da!
- Oh !
I dreamed of meeting you
for so long.
- Am I that old?
- No !
No it is not
what I wanted to say.
Tell me, ould you sign me
an autograph for a friend?
Otherwise she won't believe me.
- I'm in a hurry.
- It'll just take a few seconds.
Her name is Marlene.
Where did I put it?
I don't have a pen, damn.
Do you have one here?
I've always dreamed
to see the dressing room of a star.
Frankly,
I do not have time.
Corridor on the left. Have a good day.
Have a good day.
What's going on,
in this house ?
The secretary disappears,
the concierge dies crushed ...
Who's next ?
Ah, there you go ! That's it, it's 9 a.m.
She is late.
So there she starts well.
Hello.
Miss Delorme?
Call me Brigitte.
Put your things there,
If you want.
Reassure me, Brigitte, you're not going
not disappear within a week?
No.
Oh !
Here is your office
and here is our deputy director,
Mr. Miller.
Call me Eustache.
Nice to meet you.
Eustache Miller knows
all the secrets of the house.
We are going to start
by a short tour of the building.
With pleasure.
- You follow me ?
- Yes.
- Shall I close the door ?
- Please.
We employ
around forty people,
without counting the artists.
- It's impressive.
- Is it not ?
The tours, all that,
trips abroad ...
- Do you often go to Moscow?
- Moscow, once or twice a year.
What a fantastic city!
Finally, I imagine.
What about the Russians?
How are the Russians?
Slaves.
Ah, this is Patrick Mallet,
our current choreographer.
Not for long.
I can't take any more, of Miss Pochenko!
- She does not want to rehearse!
- Oh dear !
- What's going on ?
- I want to strangle her.
You're going to strangle us all.
It is her name that fills the room.
But it will eventually empty it.
You put your pride aside
and you'll apologize!
Excuse me? No way !
It will be her or me.
It will be her.
Fucking crap
Shitty heels!
What's going on?
What is that noise ?
Stay in your room.
Help !
There was someone in her dressing room.
He jostled me and ran away.
What is happening here ?
Oh my God !
Who are you, there?
Alice April,
from La Voix du Nord.
I work often
with Commissioner Laurence.
He lets me take
pictures of crime scenes.
If I was you,
I wouldn't let anyone in.
A crime scene
must remain untainted.
Sorry, but what is she meddling with?
the Secretary ?
She can't even put on
her lipstick correctly.
You are just nosy.
You don't have anything to do here.
I'm not talking to underlings.
Mr. Director,
Commissioner Laurence in person
calls on my services.
Between us, most of the time,
I'm the one who puts him on the track.
Ah? So...
What are you doing here?
I told you
that I had a lead.
If you had listened to me,
she might be alive.
You are worse than a migraine.
A migraine
always ends up passing.
Ah! It's you
who saw the suspect?
Commissioner, I too have seen him.
You, I will question you
later.
It happened quickly, but ...
he was rather tall,
rather young, rather handsome man ...
With blond hair
and a brown suit.
- April!
- It's possible.
I can go ?
I have a coffin to buy.
- It costs a lot, this thing.
- "A coffin" ?
Yes, a coffin!
The guy knocked down because he had seen
someone get shot.
If you would listen to what you are told,
you would save time.
- One more word and I'll close you off.
- I can leave ?
We are going to draw up a composite image.
Go to the police station.
Stabbed, no doubt.
- What about the suspect?
- What?
Were you able to identify him?
He was all Caucasian,
probably a Russian.
The Colonel or one of his men.
- I'll leave you, Gilbert.
- Okay.
Yes ?
Yes.
Count on me, sir.
I will pass the message. Thank you.
The cop is waiting
to question you.
Definitely,
for a 1st day, you are tended.
Ah yes !
Is that yours?
I found it on the floor.
Oh my God ! Thanks thanks.
Gilles would have wanted me
for weeks.
"Gilles"?
- My fiance.
- Ah! Yes.
Thank you.
[Russian]
It's Miller, is Genia there?
What?
Never mind
Tell him
Tatiana Pochenko is dead.
Thanks
- Mr. Latour!
- No, no comment.
When we need journalists
to fill the room,
they are unreachable,
but a murder ...
- Are you canceling the show?
- I do not know.
It would be a disaster for the ballet.
That's shit.
I beg your pardon ?
No, excuse me.
Who owns this car?
To Patrick Mallet, our choreographer.
And he still has it?
Yes. Next to mine
in the parking lot.
Mine is a Star.
Thank you, thank you very much !
It is green, my Star.
- Excuse me. Sorry.
- It's me.
- It's okay ?
- It's awful, what happened.
Oh yes !
Did you know her well, Tatiana?
A little.
She was not the type to open up.
A great artist whom I admired.
It seems that it was not
all love, with M. Mallet.
The rehearsals are tense.
In any case, she had to
arouse a lot of jealousy, right?
No.
I dunno.
I really have to go.
Wow !
- Are you the new secretary?
- Yes.
Since this morning.
I would have preferred to see you again
in other circumstances.
It was you who continued
the suspect in the hallways?
Yes.
You are very brave,
miss.
You risked your life.
I guess you don't
recognized this man.
- No ?
- No.
You will have to go to the police station
for the portrait sketch.
You can take advantage of my car.
Then I'll take you home.
That's very nice of you,
commissioner.
It's normal.
It's horrible.
Yes, "it's horrible".
No, I mean ...
I wished she died.
She spoke so badly to you.
- Now it happened and ...
- It is not your fault.
I kept watching her.
I thought :
"One day I'll be like her."
So I was training,
I was training, hoping ...
that she breaks something
to tell you :
"I know the choregraphy
by heart."
What are you playing here?
Give me a chance.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Listen...
I will say a word about it to Latour.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Commissioner.
- Yes. Oh !
There is a Kapitan in the parking lot.
April, Opels in a parking lot,
there must be a bunch of them.
- Yes, but...
- Commissioner, we ask you.
I ask you a moment,
very dear.
- No...
- At the same time, he's not wrong.
Opels in a parking lot,
there must be packages of them.
You stand up for him,
"very dear" ?
It is black, the Opel.
It's like the one who killed
the concierge voluntarily.
And guess who owns it.
M. Mallet.
Mr. Mallet killed the janitor?
But why ?
If Tricard was doing his job,
he would have solved it already.
- With Laurence, it would be different.
- Is that so ?
He is someone more rigid.
And very full of himself.
And so quick tempered!
But he's a great guy.
Finally...
Casually, he taught me everything.
Oh, it makes me want to
meet him, this commissioner.
Yeah, well, don't get carried away.
- He's between life and death.
- I'm sorry.
Do you want a handkerchief?
- No no.
- Didn't I keep you waiting too long? very dear
But...
We're not porcelain, Tricard.
Better to be porcelain
than in hedgehog hair.
Hurry up, April.
The hedgehog is expected at
police station in a quarter of an hour.
Like that,
you aren't even engaged?
I can not believe it.
Ah, Brigitte!
I love this name.
It is a first name that has character.
Character,
you have, I'm sure.
- I love women of character.
- Watch the traffic !
You are making me lose my thoughts.
Don't tell me anything.
You wouldn't be zodiac Aries, would you?
Virgo.
Brigitte ...
Yes ?
I will be direct.
I'm going for it.
Would you accept
an invitation to dinner?
In all honor.
- Commissioner ...
- It's fast, but ...
- You are lovely.
- Commissioner your hand!
Excuse me.
- It's emotion. You are so...
- Hand on the wheel
and eyes on the road,
or I leave this vehicle!
You are right.
I deserve to be scolded.
I ask you to lead us
very wisely to the police station.
- At your orders, Brigitte.
- It's good.
Marlene.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Do you have any news from Laurence?
- Yes.
No. No.
nothing.
He will be okay.
He is a fighter.
And Tricard did not arrive
with his secretary in tow?
Sorry ?
I don't get it,
that good woman, Brigitte.
Tricard must tumble her
in the back of his car.
What?
Take a good look at her and tell me
if she doesn't remind you of someone.
Thank you miss.
This was really impressing.
Thank you.
Effectively,
she has something, but ...
The audience paid
to see Tatiana Pochenko.
And with her name on the poster,
they're going to want to be reimbursed.
And to think ... that every ticket was sold.
It all depends on how you communicate.
A beginner who replaces a
star is like a fairy tale.
And there was a crime,
and it happened here.
All that excites the imagination.
It is horrible, what you tell there.
But I like it.
So ?
- Look, I'm sorry.
- He refused, right?
It would have been too good.
No what i mean
it's that I'm sorry,
but we will have to work hard.
I won't let you go.
It's not true. Oh my God !
No, excuse me, but ...
What?
I would not like
we imagine ...
Do not worry,
I will try to be wise.
I'm going to work
a good part of the evening.
If you want us to repeat,
I am totally available.
At any time
day and night.
I have to go.
So the eyes
rather these or those?
I would rather say those.
Though...
But not at all.
I would say these.
- There are those.
- Not at all.
- Not at all.
- Well.
- Eyebrows, do we agree?
- No no.
It's not at all that.
Brigitte, what do you think?
- Do you really want my opinion?
- Ah yes !
Very well.
In this case, I would say:
thin face,
matte complexion, brown hair,
smooth, square jaw,
like that.
The thick eyebrows, the long nose,
slightly off-center to the left,
ears with large lobes,
very thin lips.
This is it. Absolutely.
Blue eyes,
very blue, very piercing.
- It is very good.
- It's him !
Quite him!
How cruel he looks!
I confirm, it is our man.
Thank you, ladies.
You can go home.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Brigitte has missed her calling. She
would have made an excellent policeman.
You know each other ?
Yes Yes. We've known each other since ...
We are going to distribute the sketch portrait.
- Brigitte, can I drive you home?
- No. I go home with Marlene.
Thank you.
Is that so ?
Like you want.
It's weird that you never
mentioned your friend to me.
Is that ...
We met
not so long ago.
We went to the same school.
Isn't it, Brigitte?
- The school of the good sisters.
- "The good sisters".
- Have you been to the good sisters?
- Yes !
That's why
I no longer believe in God.
Did you get it, Sister Gertrude?
Oh yes, of course. Sister Gertrude!
Say, Brigitte,
when you were little,
you already had hands too ...
They are very big, your hands.
Alice!
It is not nice.
Brigitte suffered a lot.
Everyone was laughing at her.
Isn't it, Brigitte?
It's from the past.
And a big hand slaps the face
much harder than a small one.
My word !
She threatens me, the big bat?
You know
what do you remind me of?
To those little dogs, the Pugs.
It makes noise, it's ugly,
and it flees when we approach.
What are you waiting for ? Come.
Try to stick one on me.
But it's a pleasure.
Come on, ladies!
We are not
in a playground.
Come on, Brigitte. Let's go.
"Come on, Brigitte. Let's go."
Oh ok.
Is it just for her?
Is the dog-dog jealous?
And what else?
Dining with you will also be as depressing
as reading the Bible in Swedish.
I wish you pleasure, Marlene.
Brigitte!
My dear Brigitte!
To be forgiven,
I invite you to dinner.
Don't say no right away. You
would make me a desperate man.
Well, in this case
I'll tell you no tomorrow.
Good evening, commissioner.
What torture this day!
And these shoes ...
We should guillotine the guys
who invent such shoes.
And those looks ....
All those looks ...
And Tricard's hand on my thigh.
You realize ?
Welcome to the world of women.
If every man passed
a day in a dress and heels,
that would maybe
change something.
Reassure me, not all men
are like Tricard.
all.
Except you, of course.
It's April! What is she doing there?
Marlene?
Marl?ne, open the door.
I know you are there.
Marlene!
- Open the door !
- Alice.
I went to look for
stuff for the commissioner.
Again ? Will you bring him
his whole wardrobe?
- Are you all alone?
- Yes.
It's weird.
I saw you come in with Brigitte.
- It's because...
- Stop ! Stop it, Marlene!
Don't take me for an asshole.
What's going on?
The slightest smile
in your eyes, on your lips,
and you will pass
the worst quarter of an hour of your life.
It's not true...
It's a nightmare.
You screwed up my face.
Especially you, Marlene!
We don't play with people's hearts.
No, but look at you! Finally...
It is pitiful.
I don't even want to laugh.
So the slightest hint to all this
and you end up at the post.
- It's about state security.
- Yes that's it.
When I think you realize
your fantasies with our taxes!
Yes, it's for pleasure that I wear
those shoes, those fake breasts!
All tastes are in nature !
Not a word, not a line, understood?
I thought
that you were dying.
- I'll never forgive you.
- It is to save the world.
Perhaps,
but you have lost a friend!
Alice!
- I am going too.
- Wait, Marlene.
- I have something to ask you.
- What?
What do we do,
when we break a heel?
- Miss Avril?
- Yes.
We have some questions
to ask you.
Well that's a first.
That's it.
I was sure of it.
- What else, commissioner?
- This makeup gives me pimples.
On the other hand, I really like ...
the little night cream.
Yes.
It is very light,
it smells very good.
What?
Nothing. Nothing, commissioner.
- It must be Alice.
- Yes, well ...
Well, no.
Ah, Gilbert. Between.
Hi, Swan.
So ?
News
the guy in the brown suit?
You can speak in front of Marlene.
Her goldfish stands surety.
Is it not?
- Yes, commissioner.
- We have the situation in hand.
He should no longer
elude us for a very long time.
As for the Colonel, we are certain
that this scumbag work at the Opera.
We peek into the lives
of all employees.
We slowly peel the bark from our coconut.
Be careful, Swan.
Tatiana's room has been searched.
The Colonel did not
get what he was looking for.
If the Russians find these plans,
Americans will be paranoid.
It would be escalation.
We would all benefit
to bury him in his garden.
I don't have a garden.
We have rights
in this country, shit!
And you, there ...
the gorilla !
You could tickle the only neuron
drowning in your skull
and tell me what I'm doing there?
Who are you ?
- The big bad wolf ?
- Sit down, Miss Avril.
Not in front of guys
whose name I do not know.
Sit down, I said.
Cooperate,
and in an hour you may leave.
Dead or alive?
That will be up to you.
Oooh ... I'm shaking.
This is not a game.
Do you know this person?
Never seen him.
You're lying.
If you say so.
You followed her and that
secretary of the commissioner
at the latter's home.
You entered the building.
If you have the answers,
what am I doing here?
So you know her?
I crossed her,
but I don't know who she is.
Another lie!
"State secret",
Do you know what it means ?
I can keep you here,
I can make you disappear,
no one will come and claim you.
For the last time,
who is this woman ?
I do not know.
Excellent, Miss Avril.
I think
that we can trust you.
What is this gibberish?
Sorry i had to be sure you
won't betray the commissioner.
You are free.
It's not too early !
I have an article to write
for tomorrow's edition,
The Phantom of the Opera.
Rest assured,
we carried an item
to La Voix du Nord from you.
What?
I do not have...
You do not have the right.
I'll complain.
You hear me ?
Calm down !
Unless you want to
still enjoy our hospitality.
Lives are in danger
including that of the commissioner.
You should be careful.
This way.
Patrick.
My God, I was so worried.
- What's going on ?
- I heard gunshots.
What?
Yesterday I waited for you.
I fell asleep in my dressing room.
And around 3 a.m., I jumped.
- I heard a shot.
- Did you see something?
No. I didn't dare go out.
- The director.
- What, "the director"?
He has a gun in his library.
If so, it's him.
- Should we notify the police?
- Especially not.
He would risk canceling the show.
Come on, let's rehearse.
Private play circle
M. Alexandre Latour
Hello.
Alice, you're in good shape.
- I have something to tell you.
- Me too.
Well done. Great, your article.
We doubled the print.
I'm proud of you.
You have never written so well.
What progress!
I have a meeting
with our shareholders.
Keep it up. Bravo again!
"Fairy tale at the Opera
A young person takes up the challenge:
"Replace the irreplaceable
Tatiana Pochenko. "
What about the crime?
What a piece of shit!
- What are you doing here ?
- You scared me.
Doesn't it look like a bullet?
Indeed, yes.
I do not know
how do you say that, but ...
I wanted to warn you.
At the police station, I understood that
you were on the suspect list.
What?
Your car
would have served to crush Touchard.
Whatever !
Most of the time it is here.
Anyone can use it
and put it back in its place.
That I am suspected of having killed
Tatiana I don't understand,
- but even, this brave Touchard.
- I'm telling you what I heard.
Thank you miss.
For the bullet,
See the director about it.
Yes.
Brigitte?
You must change
Lisa Bonfanti's contract.
You have all the contracts here
of the new production.
The amount is per performance,
I will fill that in.
Of course.
Do this ASAP.
Yes, Monsieur Latour.
Hello, Eustache.
Are you okay ? Slept well ?
Yes.
Hello Mr. Latour's secretary.
It's Martine. The journalist
from La Voix du Nord wants to talk to you.
Good. I'm coming very soon.
- Ouch!
- Are you okay, Eustache?
Yes, I am fine. I had a
muscle cramp in the night.
I have a miracle ointment
in my bag.
It will be fine. Thanks, Brigitte.
Good.
It's up to you.
- Should I close the door?
- Yes, Brigitte. Thank you.
Ah!
So there, really thank you.
- I had a wonderful evening!
- What are you talking about ?
From your friends. I remember them!
- We'll discuss it outside.
- Yes, but let go of me!
Didn't you know?
Avril, do you trust me?
No.
I swear on my mother's head
that I have nothing to do with it.
De you hate her, your mother.
Yes. Well.
I need your help.
Call 15 33 88 from any other phone
and say that gunshots
were shot that night at the Opera.
An injured person is probably
hidden in the concierge's lodge.
It must be checked.
I can count on you ?
- Why would I help you?
- I dunno.
For France.
To avoid
a Third World War.
You will find a reason,
I'm sure.
Or for someone good who tought
you everything you know.
Thank you. Be quick.
I'm going back to work.
- I hate you.
- Yes. Me as well.
So, is that you, Colonel?
Do not move.
I have nothing more to lose
anyway.
I work
for the French secret services.
And do you think that reassures me?
It's not me, Colonel.
We thought it was you.
Listen,
if you didn't kill Tatiana ...
Why would I have killed Tatiana?
She was my sister.
We will put you
in protective custody
Ah yes !
I've already heard
that kind of promise.
What are you going to do ?
To negotiate ?
With the guy who killed your sister?
Give us the microfilms.
I swear we'll get that scum.
Why would I trust you?
You have lost your sister.
And me, a very dear friend.
These guys,
they don't come to negotiate.
No! Wait, no!
It was him or me.
Well, mission accomplished?
I do not believe so.
This guy was Tatiana's brother.
He got shot
when collecting the microfilms.
We haven't got our Colonel yet.
Oh shit !
So ?
- Nothing for the moment.
- Where are these microfilms?
Be careful, Swan.
it is becoming more and more dangerous.
You touch that, I scream.
Useless. I encourage you
even to publish the photo.
We found the concierge's wife.
OK, let's go.
I am certain
that she knows something.
Okay, let's resume.
- You've never seen this guy?
- No !
He put his gun to my face.
So yeah, I hid.
For the rest, I don't know anything.
Does the Colonel mean anything to you?
"Colonel", is it an aperitif?
That's it, kiss my ass.
You are in trouble
up to your neck.
Spit it out or I'll make you
fall for complicity.
About what ?
Of murder
and disclosure of state secrets.
You will no longer see the light of day.
That, trust me.
What are you doing here ?
I try to put myself in her shoes.
Her place is in a coffin.
She won't blame me
to have snooped.
You do not realize
what one might think?
What?
Tatiana Pochenko is dead
and an unknown woman takes her place.
It looks like a motive, right?
- You don't think that ...
- I don't think so.
Some will be happy
to imagine yourself slitting her throat.
Take off that ridiculous makeup.
You dance well, you are charming,
and while working,
we will manage to give you you're chance.
But you will never be
Tatiana Pochenko.
It was a hell of a pain
but an exceptional dancer.
Unique.
What? What's the matter ?
Get away !
You are spying on everyone!
Get your butt out of here
or I tell the police.
- I have nothing to reproach myself.
- Ah yes ? And the secretary?
Not the new one, the other.
The one who disappeared.
What, "the secretary"?
I caught her rummaging
rummage through your drawers.
And the next day she flew off,
the curious little one!
Strange, isn't it?
Have a good day.
We get a little makeover,
commissioner?
This is all extremely serious.
All of this hurts extremely.
He said that, but ...
He's on edge.
It'll get better.
Wait!
Lisa, please! Lisa!
Go! But...
I beg you !
Oh ... you ...
I have two words to say to you.
So, what is this contract?
"Between the undersigned ..."
"The company of the Operi of Lille."
There are "I's" everywhere.
Huh?
The cream of the crop of secretaries?
It's a joke, yes!
A blockhead that hits the machine
how I dance Swan Lake!
That's it ?
You have finished ?
The little chef
is happy ?
Has he let off steam?
Well done.
What a great lesson in courage!
Pick on a woman
and humiliate her!
All because
the little chef is upset?
Do you know what we are going through,
us women?
The looks, the remarks,
little hands on the buttocks!
- Then I...
- Not yet.
But it was not going to be long.
I am sure.
We have known each other for 2 days
and you already call me a blockhead?
Say we can't
open a bank account
without asking for the consent of our husbands,
that it was not until 1945
to vote !
And you come to tease me
with a badly typed contract?
Open your eyes, Mr. Latour.
The world has changed.
Men have a lot
to worry about
if they continue to treat us
like children!
Well done.
Respect.
I misjudged you.
My God !
What's going on?
It's here.
Oh my God !
How awful !
I don't feel well, here.
Take the picture.
I can not.
I knew
that this Mallet was involved.
It's strange that an assassin
leaves a corpse ...
several days, like that,
tucked in his own trunk
without even locking it.
Excuse me.
That damn cold. Cold!
Let's start by taking this Mallet,
and after, we will see.
It's a stunt!
They want to accuse me.
- Take him.
- I'm telling you I'm innocent!
For your payslips,
I need an address.
Put 12 rue des Petits-Champs.
It will be fine.
12 rue des Petits-Champs, it is noted.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow, Eustache. Good night.
- Thank you, Brigitte.
- You're welcome.
Eustache Miller.
It could be him.
He was grimacing in pain this morning
just picking up a file.
If it is him
then he shot Tatiana's brother.
The other would have retaliated
and allegedly hit him in the shoulder.
What is that ?
Ladies, we have a visitor.
You're welcome.
I am well
12 rue des Petits-Champs,
I'm not wrong ?
No.
This is where we take
policemen for idiots?
Sorry ?
Your friend,
this very dear Brigitte declared
today she lived
on this address.
- It's amazing, isn't it?
- Ah! Which means...
- Yes.
- Brigitte ...
Yes ? What, "Brigitte"?
Brigitte is not Brigitte. Finally...
Brigitte is not my friend.
What do you mean ?
Brigitte is the sister
of Commissioner Laurence.
What?
Tell him, Brigitte.
It's not a crime
living with her brother.
No, don't bother, Marlene.
I have enough,
of all this comedy.
Come on. Farewell, Brigitte.
Commissioner Laurence
is back.
It hurts, eh?
It's because I spend the night with
a corpse that you are going to be jealous of?
No, she's not a woman.
Stop.
Even with a nice pair of breasts,
a stiff remains ...
You scared the hell out of me.
Baby, I'm leaving you.
I love you too. Ciao.
Commissioner ...
- I thought you were ...
- Dead?
In a coma ?
Something like that.
I even dreamed of you.
You performed my autopsy,
I imagine.
What's on the slate,
for that one ?
Small Soviet caliber
at close range, as you can see.
It makes a mess.
He was killed the day before last night.
That, by the smell, I could have said.
Slippery, you have nothing
crunchy to tell me?
A tattoo on the hip.
crunchy enough for you ?
"A tattoo on the hip"?
Are you okay, commissioner?
You examined brains
men and women
very carefully, I imagine.
- Yes.
Have you noticed
any difference?
I would say,
But this only engages me,
than a woman's brain
is much more ... sexy.
Are you looking for this?
Who are you ?
Commissioner Laurence.
But a few hours ago
you still called me Brigitte.
Are we a player, Mr. Latour?
Do we have debts?
Give me back my gun. I have a permit.
You won't guess
where I found it.
In the mouth
of your partner, Mr. Miller.
He wanted to end his life.
In the toilets.
Come in, Eustache!
But finally...
Eustache, explain yourself!
His russian lover left him
for a chorus-singer of the Red Army.
not true?
Do you like it, you sadist?
What do you want in the end?
Like everyone,
unmask Tatiana's murderer.
It wasn't me who killed her.
- Nor me.
- Of course not.
Otherwise you would already be in jail.
Commissioner Laurence,
criminal police.
Police or not, we do not enter
like that in people's home.
Okay, let's continue.
You're wasting your time.
They turned everything upside down.
Oh ... that's so cute!
- I always dreamed of having this.
- What's the matter here?
I've never seen this slipper.
Show me that.
- Well done, Marlene.
- I swear, I didn't know anything.
Mrs Touchard,
I will need you.
Oh, three times nothing.
Just a quick phone call.
Hi, Gilbert.
Do you remember ?
It was the favorite track
of poor Nadine.
Just before she died
she said to me:"Gilbert".
I thought
that she was asking me to call you.
In reality she was giving me
the name of her murderer.
The Colonel's name.
You realize
what are you saying?
- I loved her as much as you.
- Yes.
Except that she discovered
who you were.
You said it yourself.
A smart,
- a vicious one.
- Whatever !
I had nothing to gain
with the death of Nadine.
We found a corpse in the trunk
of the choreographer's car.
I didn't recognize him
right away, but ... the tattoo,
the letter A on the hip ...
A for "Apollinaire".
Does it remind you of anything?
Obviously I remember.
Network survivors
got a tattoo at the Liberation.
The guy in the trunk was Frank,
your great friend Frank.
I have always thought
that he was sick.
He would have followed you to hell.
What does that prove? I haven't seen him anymore
since the end of the war.
We'll check, Gilbert. We'll check.
But that's not all.
There is also...
Sergei Pochenko's diary.
He had recorded everything
in a notebook.
He had discovered
who the Colonel was,
and its description is quite precise.
Tatiana wanted to move to the West
and negotiate with
the French secret service.
She signed her death warrant.
Is it not?
Stay where you are.
I hope you didn't
do it for the money.
You know how we were treated
we, the real resistance fighters,
after the war :
like crap.
While the bourgeois and the
collaborators have taken over.
It's not for these profiteers
that I fought.
So when the Russians came
to recruit me, I did not hesitate.
I regret for Nadine,
but it's like that.
The war is not over.
Stop with your bullshit.
Where are the microfilms?
Be careful what you do.
I will not hesitate to shoot.
Not bad, as a hiding place.
What could be more discreet
than a slipper
in a dancer's luggage?
Go ahead. Throw it here.
And now?
What are you going to do, Gilbert?
Sorry, Swan.
You will say hello to Nadine for me.
If you kill him,
You'll have to shoot me too!
- Me too !
- Drop that gun!
Go ahead, shoot.
What are you waiting for ?
Either way, the building is surrounded.
You won't get away.
Was the notebook a bluff?
Where did you find it?
In a stationery store. Why?
Are you injured?
A scratch. I am used to it.
But in...
here i'm hurt for real
and deeply.
You made fun of me.
I blame you very much.
- Sir ...
- It's useless.
- Don't wind yourself up.
- Yes, all the same!
You saved Laurence's life.
You are a hero.
Ah there, are you happy?
- What is this picture ?
- This is not your best profile.
- I forbade you ...
- During the investigation!
It is over.
The number of sales
is unimaginable.
I'll give you
a more enticing title:
"Commissioner Laurence
strangled an obscure journalist! "
But wait !
You are not the only one
who suffered!
Treason for treason,
you want...
They just delivered this bag.
I believe it's yours.
Ah, all the same.
It's not too early.
Thank you so much.
Where did I put it?
We never find anything
in these bags!
Damn, that's not true.
What? What's the matter ?
- Nothing.
- Nothing. Nothing, commissioner.

Code 6WW. Urgent message.
I think I identified the Colonel.
Hello?
Miss Fran?oise?
What is happening ?
You saw nothing, heard nothing,
and you will be fine.
Is that clear, Mr. Touchard?
Yes Yes. Very clear.
Good night.
Jules?
Jules?
Where were you ?
- What was that fuss?
- I don't know.
An exhaust pipe.
- "An exhaust pipe"?
- Yes.
What's wrong ?
- You're all pale.
- No no. It's okay.
Come on ... Come on, back to sleep.
I would do well
to catch up with my dream.
Nadine?
But what ...
My God !
I won't pull through this time.
- It's ... it's good to see you again.
- Nadine ...
- Gilbert ...
- Yes, I'll call him.
- I'll call him.
- No.
You are going to make it. Nadine ...
Stay with me.
Hold on. Nadine ...
Nadine, no.
Nadine, no.
And shit!
She was a damn good woman.
The hideout in Montreuil in 1943,
Do you remember ?
Without her,
half of the network went through it.
Why did she come to you?
She didn't have time
to tell me.
I have a little idea.
She was fucked up and knew it,
then die in your arms ...
- What, "to die in my arms"?
- Don't take me for an idiot.
- She was crazy about you.
- Oh...
That's what I recovered
at the secret services.
- What mission was she working on?
- I can't say anything. You know.
I want to find
whoever did this.
I proposed a job to you
several times.
You hire me,
I find him and I quit.
Does it suit you like that?
It's been a while
we're trying to find
a guy nicknamed "the Colonel".
A smart. A vicious one.
He set up a network
which informs the Russians.
And Nadine, in all this?
Hired as secretary
at the Lille Opera,
she was watching a dancer,
Tatiana Pochenko,
suspected of being close to the Colonel.
Did you send her to the pipe breaker?
She was a damn good agent.
Yes. But now it's
a damn good dead agent.
You can't imagine the stakes.
No. Effectively.
We risk
a Third World War.
A genius has developed a weapon
nuclear power of phenomenal scope.
Cocorico, it's French,
but we have not been able to keep the secret.
There's a mole in the lab.
Everything has been photographed.
Good job guys.
We take care of everything, Swan.
Let the police
and the press outside of that.
Microfilms would be in France,
but not for long.
Tatiana Pochenko performs
regularly in Moscow, at the Bolshoi.
I bet the Colonel uses it
to pass the documents.
Welcome to the Secret Service, Swan.
Sir! Sir!
Call for help, quickly!
Sir! Sir.
You hear me ?
That bastard sped up
when this guy was crossing.
Huh? Are you sure ?
Dead sure!
Do not move.
We take care of you.
What kind of car,
was it?
An Opel, a captain.
My brother has the same in red.
The plates?
It did not stand out
like in the movies.
The driver was a man,
but I can not say more.
I hope he won't get away with it.
Goodbye.
Wait, sir!
Sir, I am here.
I am with you.
Sir ...
Mr. Touchard.
Jules.
Nice to meet you. Me, I'm Alice.
are expertn
00:08:15,380 --> 00:08:16,220
It's Alice.
Heartache ?
No. Cold.
Tell me, Marlene,
you are an expert
in classical dance?
I know about it?
As a kid, I only dreamed of this:
become a little ballerina.
I even made myself a tutu.
You should have seen me.
I think I kept a photo.
No that will be good.
Thanks, Marlene.
Mom didn't want
me to take lessons,
so I was training on my own
in my room, in front of the mirror.
Arm in a crown, thumbs tucked in ...
Yes. Thanks, Marlene.
It is very good.
Tell me, Tatiana Pochenko,
does that name ring a bell?
Are you kidding me, commissioner?
She is one of the biggest.
Everytime
she rises in the air,
I have tears in my eyes.
Yes.
Commissioner, someone named
Gilbert Loyson has just arrived.
Let him in.
- How about you go to the pharmacy?
- It's useless.
I treat myself with plants.
Good. Go ahead anyway.
My throat is on fire all of a sudden.
Find me something.
I have maybe...
No, no, Marlene.
To the pharmacy.
The pharmacy.
Thank you.
Always determined to join us
and capture the Colonel?
More than ever.
It remains to sneak us
discreetly in the Opera.
There is no need to procrastinate.
Someone has to replace Nadine.
- I told you...
- I have a solution.
But...
It's not going to please you at all.
Say it.
Do you remember
this little party of the Liberation
with the people of the network?
- If I remember !
Hold on...
You don't want to ...
Yes. That's exactly
what I think about.
I'll find him for you, your Colonel.
But before,
the commissioner
Laurence must disappear.
What's going on ?
It's the commissioner.
My God !
Nothing serious, at least?
A terrible stroke.
He fell suddenly.
It's my fault ! He was telling me :
"My throat is on fire."
Oh, commissioner!
Oh sorry !
Sorry !
- Step aside.
- Is he going to be okay?
I hope so.
- What is happening ?
- It's horrible.
Without this cold, I would have seen
that he was not in his normal state.
What? Who ?
The commissioner had a stroke.
What?
My father also had a stroke.
He remained in a wheelchair
until the end of his days.
He no longer recognized me.
It was awful.
Stop, please, Marlene!
He's a tough guy, Laurence.
I will go
get his stuff.
If he ever wakes up.
Of course he will wake up!
Who I'm going to argue with
if not, me?
More,
I had a case for him.
Huh? What a story ?
No, well ...
This morning,
a guy calls me at the newspaper.
He is a concierge at the Opera.
He tells me
that he has a revelation for me.
I give him an appointment, I wait,
and by the time he arrives,
he gets run over by a driver.
That's all ?
No of course not.
It's not all.
The driver crushed him
to prevent him from speaking.
- And there is a witness.
- Where is he ?
So yeah ... uh ...
You know the similarity between
a janitor and a journalist?
Their overflowing imagination.
The guy was in really bad shape.
There it must be cooled.
His name is Jules Touchard.
Well, we'll find out, Avril.
We will find out.
I'm going to the hospital while I wait.
Tell Marlene
that I keep her informed.
Not even a word, nothing.
Barely employed, already flown.
- Inadmissible.
- She understands you.
Understanding will not be enough.
We absolutely need
a new secretary for tomorrow.
What does she say ?
Yes. We will see.
What did she say ?
She quickly sends us
the rare pearl.
"The rare pearl" ?
The cream of the crop.
I need to calm down.
That's it, I'm calm.
Ah, director.
The timing may be wrong,
but I checked the accounts,
and there is something weird.
You are right, Eustace.
The timing is very bad.
You just have to wait
the cream of the crop of secretaries.
So ?
So nothing at all.
What about nothing ?
Alice, please.
I almost broke everything,
in this stupid hospital.
They didn't want to tell me anything.
I couldn't even see him.
And the doctor was pulling
a sad face.
I don't think it's good at all.
Oh my God !
Oh my God !
I whined like a kid
I'm not telling you.
He was an exceptional man.
No, but stop!
Until proven otherwise,
he is not dead.
We are going to stick together
and keep hope.
Alice ...
A woman lives with the commissioner.
- What?
- Look.
When I think
that a week ago, he said to me:
"The only being with whom I could
live, Marlene, is you. "
And you believed it?
Yes, I believed him.
Excuse me, I ...
Oh, I'm choking.
I'll go get some fresh air.
I'll get back to the hospital.
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
I will do as you say.
We are going to be strong.
Excuse me for surprising you.
I did not know
that there was someone.
Is that ...
Commissioner...
Sorry to tell you like that.
He had a stroke.
He is between life and death.
Here.
I am leaving.
- Sorry.
- No, Marlene.
Okay ... it's me.
No ! Marlene ...
Elongate.
Traced back.
And...
one two Three...
No, don't score!
More expression!
Classes.
Elongate.
I want feeling! Classes.
Plie.
Plie, plie.
Change, change.
No ! No !
No, it is not OK !
No, you score.
Stay !
Change, change, stay!
No. Preparation...
And ... travel ...
And hop !
No, we're resuming.
We start from the beginning of the music.
Beginning of the swings.
And one, two, three ...
No, not that kind!
Expression, emotion!
Without the music, Andr?. And...
One, two, three ... No!
I want emotion in the arm.
- Feeling.
- What are you doing?
The question I was going to ask you.
Are you waiting for the audience to dance?
- We go back.
- No. We do not resume.
- Sorry ?
- You are going to apologize first.
I'm fed up,
the way you talk to me.
You don't give anything in rehearsal!
I don't care about your technique, Tatiana.
Stop dazzling us
with your mastery.
Who are you to talk to me like that?
Where did you dance?
People come to see me
for my technique, for my mastery.
They never get
moved by you.
- Where you go ?
- In my dressing room, wait for your apologies.
But shit! Shit !
What a pest!
He is right. She gives nothing.
She doesn't realize how lucky she is.
What are we doing, Mr. Mallet?
Play me the most gloomy
requiem that you know.
Maybe I could ...
No, not now, my little one.
Andr?, we're going back to the arabesque.
Okay ?
What is it ?
- Got a problem, Mr. Miller?
- No no.
Pretty cute, the new one, eh?
Lisa, dancers like you,
there are thousands of them.
Mind your own concerns.
Is that clear ?
Yes.
What i need
I pay you only to answer
all the questions!
Go!
[Russian]
What are you doing here?
You are mad
You know I'm being watched.
No one saw me.
Don't stay here
the secretary was killed.
What?
I'll tell you this,
She wasn't clean.
Shit.
you have to leave this place
Hush.
I can't leave
You know I am stuck here
Microfilms?
Excuse me, commissioner.
I had one of these fears.
- I thought you were dead!
- I'm sorry, Marlene.
I did not want to know.
Everyone lives as they want.
The important thing is that you are okay.
The rest is none of my business.
It's not what you think.
I had a cousin ...
I loved him so much.
He loved wearing my clothes.
Marlene, I need you.
You know...
your privacy ...
It's not that.
It's about saving the world!
"Save the world" dressed as a woman?
Alice says women
will save the world ...
Marl?ne, I am on a mission.
Okay ?
You have to swear, not a word!
Especially not to April.
What? But it's impossible !
You cannot imagine her condition.
Swear on what you hold
most valuable!
I don't have much of a value.
Apart from my fish Bubble.
There you have it. It's exactly that.
Take example
on your goldfish, Marlene.
Become your goldfish.
Imitate his discretion. Okay ?
Waiting,
i only have a few hours
to become a credible secretary.
"A secretary" ?
But then, it's impossible,
unless there is a miracle!
You are not a woman.
You are so...
Finally...
I want to say...
You are very manly, though.
So a secretary ...
And it takes years
to become a secretary!
Well, I have one night, Marlene.
Just one night.
Are you sure
that it is essential?
There are details
that will make you a woman.
For example,
very important, the handbag.
Indispensable, the handbag!
You have to put in as many things as possible
and that you never find anything there.
Get upset saying:
"Where are my keys ?"
There there will be
no doubt for anyone,
you are indeed a woman.
Here. The little finger ... Blow.
Want to put on those hats?
Where did you find them?
My mother went on vacation.
I took the opportunity.
I took everything that was lying around.
I took that too.
What? It does not fit me ?
Do you want me to be sincere?
Well. It's okay, I got it.
And the voice?
- Say hello, to see.
- Hello.
No.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
- It was good, that last hello.
- I would prefer..
..to say goodbye
and go and bury me in Mexico.
Commissioner, do not be discouraged.
We'll get there.
Obviously, there is more to be done
to become a secretary.
For this, a little test is necessary.
"A little test"?
We will go to the police station.
Good evening.
Do you have any messages for
that poor commissioner Laurence?
No, Marlene. Nothing at all.
Thank you.
Still in the office?
- Your mom, right?
- No !
She's a friend.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Oh I see.
A little evening with friends?
Can I get invited
to have a drink?
It's nice, but ...
No way !
We have things to tell to each other,
woman stuff.
Never mind.
- Hello, my beauties.
- Hi.
Come on, I'll show you my office.
Your mum".
Look carefully.
I put the sheet in the center,
I spin the little roulette wheel,
I lift the little bar ...
The sheet inside,
I go back ... and that's it.
Very well.
It's not that complicated.
- Good.
- Good. I dictate:
"The victim had been
repeatedly stabbed
"with the kitchen knife
found in the laundry room. "
Hold on, hold on.
You are going too fast.
I don't dictate at this speed.
No. You, you go
much faster than that.
But we forgot an essential detail.
A first name and a last name.
We do not know
what is your name.
Look at me.
Brigitte ... Yes!
- that will suit you very well.
- No, not "Brigitte".
I hate "Brigitte".
What are you doing here, Marlene?
I thought you were in the hospital.
Good evening madam.
Miss.
- Brigitte is not married.
- Sorry. Miss.
I won't bother you for long.
No news from the commissioner.
It?s starting to worry me.
Good. I'll leave you, Marlene.
Brigitte ... If you allow
that I call you Brigitte.
Good-bye, Mr. Divisional.
- Oh !
- Oh my God !
Don't make that face!
This is all very, very positive.
- "Positive"?
- Yes.
You find ?
Looks like a bulldog
drooling in front of a marrow bone.
If Tricard fell
for it,
it is successful 5 out of 5.
There is someone ?
Mrs. Touchard?
Mrs. Touchard?
Scream, and you're dead.
- Where are the microfilms?
- What microfilms?
I have a message from your mom:
her back hurts horribly,
it's cold
in her apartment in Moscow.
She needs your compassion.
And we, microfilms.
A word from the Colonel,
and your dear mother will no longer be able to
ever send postcards.
- Do you know him?
- I've never seen him before!
What are we going to do
Who do you work for?
Who is the Colonel?
Who is the Colonel?
Do you answer or do I shoot?
- It's a job, killing someone.
- Stay where you are!
You have no idea in what hell
you stuck your nose.
You have a bomb.
In your place, I would get rid of it
quickly, before it explodes.
[Russian]
My god, Sergei!
What have you done?
They will go after mom
Calm down
As long as they don't know where
the microfilms are, they won't act.
We will negotiate mom crossing the border
then we give them everything
Don't stay here. Go home.
I will take care of him
and join you
Go home, quickly!
Do not forget :
let yourself be guided
through your chest,
the rest will follow.
- I will never make it.
- of cource you will!
Think about your friend.
Do you want to avenge her, yes or no?
Yes.
- My feet hurt so much!
- It's normal.
It comes with the job of being a woman.
Go!
I am with you, Commissioner.
We breathe ... and we go!
- Take good care of my car.
- Yes.
she will slip through our fingers
she can't be controled
him as well
What?
I don't know
I will leave
Yes, me too
See you soon
Not yet arrived?
It is only less than a quarter.
I don't ask that she be
well formed like the other, but ...
at least she must be punctual.
Sorry to come back to this,
but something is wrong
in the accounts.
10,000 F.
"10,000 F is missing"?
New?
Yes. I'm on it
for a few days.
Anyone else know?
Of course not.
What do I do ?
Nothing.
- I'm not going to...
- Close eyes ?
Oh yes, Eustache.
You will close your eyes.
Unless you want
that I rummage through your schemes?
But what are you talking about?
What about your phone calls to Moscow?
It's for work.
In the meantime, ten minutes late.
She's still not here.
While the slightest of correctness
would be to have a little head start. No ?
Yes.
Shit !
He was just a bum.
This is the truth.
Still, he was weird yesterday.
"I do things
that will make me money. "
You speak !
A hole in the earth
that it earned him, that's all.
Still, it will give me a void.
Hello.
Hello.
I am the new secretary.
Excuse me, I caught a cold.
Being sick on the 1st day,
It's not terrible.
And ... she has a name,
the new secretary?
Brigitte.
You can call me Brigitte.
The offices are on the first floor.
Take the grand staircase.
Very well.
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Excuse me.
I am Alice Avril,
from La Voix du Nord.
I would like to see the director.
He only receives by appointment.
You have to go through his secretary.
Miss Brigitte!
It's for you.
Thank you.
Hello. Excuse me.
Alice Avril, La Voix du Nord ...
- Haven't we seen each other?
- I do not believe.
Excuse me,
I have a very, very sore throat.
Could you fix me
a meeting with your boss?
I do not know.
I do not think that...
Oh come on
loosen up a little!
You don't tremble
in front of your boss.
That is to say
it's my first day ...
Well, precisely!
Bosses are like husbands
you have to watch them from the start,
otherwise they will treat you
like a slave.
Yes, well ... That is to say ...
Oh no ? Submissive and docile?
Take charge.
We are no longer in the 19th century.
That's enough now.
I will be late.
No, but wait.
I'll leave you my contact.
You can tell your boss
that it is very, very urgent?
No, but it's crazy.
I have already met you.
We should not be visiting
the same places.
That's for sure.
I like distinguished places,
discreet, with class ...
and charm.
Have a good day.
A bit stiff up the ass.
Madame Touchard, is that you?
Are you
Jules Touchard's wife?
Would you answer some questions?
It would be for an article.
What if we take a photo.
A picture of myself
in La Voix du Nord?
It can work out.
So...
Last night,
a noise in the street woke me up.
A shot, that's for sure.
- "A shot" ?
- Yes.
Jules must have seen something.
And that's why he was killed.
Huh? Kill ?
Did I say "killed"?
That is to say...
It may not have been
an accident, that's it.
The driver knocked him over on purpose.
I'm sorry.
[Russian]
Prepare yourself, we leave this evening
Hush.
How do we leave?
If the colonel sent this guy
to recover the microfilms,
the he understood
you wanted to betray him.
- shall I tell everything to the french secret service?
- certainly not!
they could protect us...
but for how long...
and for mom,
they won't be able to do anything
- mom is fucked!
- Don't say that!
Shut up.
why did I start this mess ?
I would love her to be here
we can still get out
we can negotiate
with this rotten colonel
but we must not stay here
Looking for something ?
Hello.
Excuse me,
I think I got lost.
I am the new secretary.
I'm looking for Mr. Latour's office.
Take the corridor to the left,
and go up the stairs.
Thank you so much.
Am I looking at
Tatiana Pochenko?
- Da!
- Oh !
I dreamed of meeting you
for so long.
- Am I that old?
- No !
No it is not
what I wanted to say.
Tell me, ould you sign me
an autograph for a friend?
Otherwise she won't believe me.
- I'm in a hurry.
- It'll just take a few seconds.
Her name is Marlene.
Where did I put it?
I don't have a pen, damn.
Do you have one here?
I've always dreamed
to see the dressing room of a star.
Frankly,
I do not have time.
Corridor on the left. Have a good day.
Have a good day.
What's going on,
in this house ?
The secretary disappears,
the concierge dies crushed ...
Who's next ?
Ah, there you go ! That's it, it's 9 a.m.
She is late.
So there she starts well.
Hello.
Miss Delorme?
Call me Brigitte.
Put your things there,
If you want.
Reassure me, Brigitte, you're not going
not disappear within a week?
No.
Oh !
Here is your office
and here is our deputy director,
Mr. Miller.
Call me Eustache.
Nice to meet you.
Eustache Miller knows
all the secrets of the house.
We are going to start
by a short tour of the building.
With pleasure.
- You follow me ?
- Yes.
- Shall I close the door ?
- Please.
We employ
around forty people,
without counting the artists.
- It's impressive.
- Is it not ?
The tours, all that,
trips abroad ...
- Do you often go to Moscow?
- Moscow, once or twice a year.
What a fantastic city!
Finally, I imagine.
What about the Russians?
How are the Russians?
Slaves.
Ah, this is Patrick Mallet,
our current choreographer.
Not for long.
I can't take any more, of Miss Pochenko!
- She does not want to rehearse!
- Oh dear !
- What's going on ?
- I want to strangle her.
You're going to strangle us all.
It is her name that fills the room.
But it will eventually empty it.
You put your pride aside
and you'll apologize!
Excuse me? No way !
It will be her or me.
It will be her.
Fucking crap
Shitty heels!
What's going on?
What is that noise ?
Stay in your room.
Help !
There was someone in her dressing room.
He jostled me and ran away.
What is happening here ?
Oh my God !
Who are you, there?
Alice April,
from La Voix du Nord.
I work often
with Commissioner Laurence.
He lets me take
pictures of crime scenes.
If I was you,
I wouldn't let anyone in.
A crime scene
must remain untainted.
Sorry, but what is she meddling with?
the Secretary ?
She can't even put on
her lipstick correctly.
You are just nosy.
You don't have anything to do here.
I'm not talking to underlings.
Mr. Director,
Commissioner Laurence in person
calls on my services.
Between us, most of the time,
I'm the one who puts him on the track.
Ah? So...
What are you doing here?
I told you
that I had a lead.
If you had listened to me,
she might be alive.
You are worse than a migraine.
A migraine
always ends up passing.
Ah! It's you
who saw the suspect?
Commissioner, I too have seen him.
You, I will question you
later.
It happened quickly, but ...
he was rather tall,
rather young, rather handsome man ...
With blond hair
and a brown suit.
- April!
- It's possible.
I can go ?
I have a coffin to buy.
- It costs a lot, this thing.
- "A coffin" ?
Yes, a coffin!
The guy knocked down because he had seen
someone get shot.
If you would listen to what you are told,
you would save time.
- One more word and I'll close you off.
- I can leave ?
We are going to draw up a composite image.
Go to the police station.
Stabbed, no doubt.
- What about the suspect?
- What?
Were you able to identify him?
He was all Caucasian,
probably a Russian.
The Colonel or one of his men.
- I'll leave you, Gilbert.
- Okay.
Yes ?
Yes.
Count on me, sir.
I will pass the message. Thank you.
The cop is waiting
to question you.
Definitely,
for a 1st day, you are tended.
Ah yes !
Is that yours?
I found it on the floor.
Oh my God ! Thanks thanks.
Gilles would have wanted me
for weeks.
"Gilles"?
- My fiance.
- Ah! Yes.
Thank you.
[Russian]
It's Miller, is Genia there?
What?
Never mind
Tell him
Tatiana Pochenko is dead.
Thanks
- Mr. Latour!
- No, no comment.
When we need journalists
to fill the room,
they are unreachable,
but a murder ...
- Are you canceling the show?
- I do not know.
It would be a disaster for the ballet.
That's shit.
I beg your pardon ?
No, excuse me.
Who owns this car?
To Patrick Mallet, our choreographer.
And he still has it?
Yes. Next to mine
in the parking lot.
Mine is a Star.
Thank you, thank you very much !
It is green, my Star.
- Excuse me. Sorry.
- It's me.
- It's okay ?
- It's awful, what happened.
Oh yes !
Did you know her well, Tatiana?
A little.
She was not the type to open up.
A great artist whom I admired.
It seems that it was not
all love, with M. Mallet.
The rehearsals are tense.
In any case, she had to
arouse a lot of jealousy, right?
No.
I dunno.
I really have to go.
Wow !
- Are you the new secretary?
- Yes.
Since this morning.
I would have preferred to see you again
in other circumstances.
It was you who continued
the suspect in the hallways?
Yes.
You are very brave,
miss.
You risked your life.
I guess you don't
recognized this man.
- No ?
- No.
You will have to go to the police station
for the portrait sketch.
You can take advantage of my car.
Then I'll take you home.
That's very nice of you,
commissioner.
It's normal.
It's horrible.
Yes, "it's horrible".
No, I mean ...
I wished she died.
She spoke so badly to you.
- Now it happened and ...
- It is not your fault.
I kept watching her.
I thought :
"One day I'll be like her."
So I was training,
I was training, hoping ...
that she breaks something
to tell you :
"I know the choregraphy
by heart."
What are you playing here?
Give me a chance.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Listen...
I will say a word about it to Latour.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Commissioner.
- Yes. Oh !
There is a Kapitan in the parking lot.
April, Opels in a parking lot,
there must be a bunch of them.
- Yes, but...
- Commissioner, we ask you.
I ask you a moment,
very dear.
- No...
- At the same time, he's not wrong.
Opels in a parking lot,
there must be packages of them.
You stand up for him,
"very dear" ?
It is black, the Opel.
It's like the one who killed
the concierge voluntarily.
And guess who owns it.
M. Mallet.
Mr. Mallet killed the janitor?
But why ?
If Tricard was doing his job,
he would have solved it already.
- With Laurence, it would be different.
- Is that so ?
He is someone more rigid.
And very full of himself.
And so quick tempered!
But he's a great guy.
Finally...
Casually, he taught me everything.
Oh, it makes me want to
meet him, this commissioner.
Yeah, well, don't get carried away.
- He's between life and death.
- I'm sorry.
Do you want a handkerchief?
- No no.
- Didn't I keep you waiting too long? very dear
But...
We're not porcelain, Tricard.
Better to be porcelain
than in hedgehog hair.
Hurry up, April.
The hedgehog is expected at
police station in a quarter of an hour.
Like that,
you aren't even engaged?
I can not believe it.
Ah, Brigitte!
I love this name.
It is a first name that has character.
Character,
you have, I'm sure.
- I love women of character.
- Watch the traffic !
You are making me lose my thoughts.
Don't tell me anything.
You wouldn't be zodiac Aries, would you?
Virgo.
Brigitte ...
Yes ?
I will be direct.
I'm going for it.
Would you accept
an invitation to dinner?
In all honor.
- Commissioner ...
- It's fast, but ...
- You are lovely.
- Commissioner your hand!
Excuse me.
- It's emotion. You are so...
- Hand on the wheel
and eyes on the road,
or I leave this vehicle!
You are right.
I deserve to be scolded.
I ask you to lead us
very wisely to the police station.
- At your orders, Brigitte.
- It's good.
Marlene.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Do you have any news from Laurence?
- Yes.
No. No.
nothing.
He will be okay.
He is a fighter.
And Tricard did not arrive
with his secretary in tow?
Sorry ?
I don't get it,
that good woman, Brigitte.
Tricard must tumble her
in the back of his car.
What?
Take a good look at her and tell me
if she doesn't remind you of someone.
Thank you miss.
This was really impressing.
Thank you.
Effectively,
she has something, but ...
The audience paid
to see Tatiana Pochenko.
And with her name on the poster,
they're going to want to be reimbursed.
And to think ... that every ticket was sold.
It all depends on how you communicate.
A beginner who replaces a
star is like a fairy tale.
And there was a crime,
and it happened here.
All that excites the imagination.
It is horrible, what you tell there.
But I like it.
So ?
- Look, I'm sorry.
- He refused, right?
It would have been too good.
No what i mean
it's that I'm sorry,
but we will have to work hard.
I won't let you go.
It's not true. Oh my God !
No, excuse me, but ...
What?
I would not like
we imagine ...
Do not worry,
I will try to be wise.
I'm going to work
a good part of the evening.
If you want us to repeat,
I am totally available.
At any time
day and night.
I have to go.
So the eyes
rather these or those?
I would rather say those.
Though...
But not at all.
I would say these.
- There are those.
- Not at all.
- Not at all.
- Well.
- Eyebrows, do we agree?
- No no.
It's not at all that.
Brigitte, what do you think?
- Do you really want my opinion?
- Ah yes !
Very well.
In this case, I would say:
thin face,
matte complexion, brown hair,
smooth, square jaw,
like that.
The thick eyebrows, the long nose,
slightly off-center to the left,
ears with large lobes,
very thin lips.
This is it. Absolutely.
Blue eyes,
very blue, very piercing.
- It is very good.
- It's him !
Quite him!
How cruel he looks!
I confirm, it is our man.
Thank you, ladies.
You can go home.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Brigitte has missed her calling. She
would have made an excellent policeman.
You know each other ?
Yes Yes. We've known each other since ...
We are going to distribute the sketch portrait.
- Brigitte, can I drive you home?
- No. I go home with Marlene.
Thank you.
Is that so ?
Like you want.
It's weird that you never
mentioned your friend to me.
Is that ...
We met
not so long ago.
We went to the same school.
Isn't it, Brigitte?
- The school of the good sisters.
- "The good sisters".
- Have you been to the good sisters?
- Yes !
That's why
I no longer believe in God.
Did you get it, Sister Gertrude?
Oh yes, of course. Sister Gertrude!
Say, Brigitte,
when you were little,
you already had hands too ...
They are very big, your hands.
Alice!
It is not nice.
Brigitte suffered a lot.
Everyone was laughing at her.
Isn't it, Brigitte?
It's from the past.
And a big hand slaps the face
much harder than a small one.
My word !
She threatens me, the big bat?
You know
what do you remind me of?
To those little dogs, the Pugs.
It makes noise, it's ugly,
and it flees when we approach.
What are you waiting for ? Come.
Try to stick one on me.
But it's a pleasure.
Come on, ladies!
We are not
in a playground.
Come on, Brigitte. Let's go.
"Come on, Brigitte. Let's go."
Oh ok.
Is it just for her?
Is the dog-dog jealous?
And what else?
Dining with you will also be as depressing
as reading the Bible in Swedish.
I wish you pleasure, Marlene.
Brigitte!
My dear Brigitte!
To be forgiven,
I invite you to dinner.
Don't say no right away. You
would make me a desperate man.
Well, in this case
I'll tell you no tomorrow.
Good evening, commissioner.
What torture this day!
And these shoes ...
We should guillotine the guys
who invent such shoes.
And those looks ....
All those looks ...
And Tricard's hand on my thigh.
You realize ?
Welcome to the world of women.
If every man passed
a day in a dress and heels,
that would maybe
change something.
Reassure me, not all men
are like Tricard.
all.
Except you, of course.
It's April! What is she doing there?
Marlene?
Marl?ne, open the door.
I know you are there.
Marlene!
- Open the door !
- Alice.
I went to look for
stuff for the commissioner.
Again ? Will you bring him
his whole wardrobe?
- Are you all alone?
- Yes.
It's weird.
I saw you come in with Brigitte.
- It's because...
- Stop ! Stop it, Marlene!
Don't take me for an asshole.
What's going on?
The slightest smile
in your eyes, on your lips,
and you will pass
the worst quarter of an hour of your life.
It's not true...
It's a nightmare.
You screwed up my face.
Especially you, Marlene!
We don't play with people's hearts.
No, but look at you! Finally...
It is pitiful.
I don't even want to laugh.
So the slightest hint to all this
and you end up at the post.
- It's about state security.
- Yes that's it.
When I think you realize
your fantasies with our taxes!
Yes, it's for pleasure that I wear
those shoes, those fake breasts!
All tastes are in nature !
Not a word, not a line, understood?
I thought
that you were dying.
- I'll never forgive you.
- It is to save the world.
Perhaps,
but you have lost a friend!
Alice!
- I am going too.
- Wait, Marlene.
- I have something to ask you.
- What?
What do we do,
when we break a heel?
- Miss Avril?
- Yes.
We have some questions
to ask you.
Well that's a first.
That's it.
I was sure of it.
- What else, commissioner?
- This makeup gives me pimples.
On the other hand, I really like ...
the little night cream.
Yes.
It is very light,
it smells very good.
What?
Nothing. Nothing, commissioner.
- It must be Alice.
- Yes, well ...
Well, no.
Ah, Gilbert. Between.
Hi, Swan.
So ?
News
the guy in the brown suit?
You can speak in front of Marlene.
Her goldfish stands surety.
Is it not?
- Yes, commissioner.
- We have the situation in hand.
He should no longer
elude us for a very long time.
As for the Colonel, we are certain
that this scumbag work at the Opera.
We peek into the lives
of all employees.
We slowly peel the bark from our coconut.
Be careful, Swan.
Tatiana's room has been searched.
The Colonel did not
get what he was looking for.
If the Russians find these plans,
Americans will be paranoid.
It would be escalation.
We would all benefit
to bury him in his garden.
I don't have a garden.
We have rights
in this country, shit!
And you, there ...
the gorilla !
You could tickle the only neuron
drowning in your skull
and tell me what I'm doing there?
Who are you ?
- The big bad wolf ?
- Sit down, Miss Avril.
Not in front of guys
whose name I do not know.
Sit down, I said.
Cooperate,
and in an hour you may leave.
Dead or alive?
That will be up to you.
Oooh ... I'm shaking.
This is not a game.
Do you know this person?
Never seen him.
You're lying.
If you say so.
You followed her and that
secretary of the commissioner
at the latter's home.
You entered the building.
If you have the answers,
what am I doing here?
So you know her?
I crossed her,
but I don't know who she is.
Another lie!
"State secret",
Do you know what it means ?
I can keep you here,
I can make you disappear,
no one will come and claim you.
For the last time,
who is this woman ?
I do not know.
Excellent, Miss Avril.
I think
that we can trust you.
What is this gibberish?
Sorry i had to be sure you
won't betray the commissioner.
You are free.
It's not too early !
I have an article to write
for tomorrow's edition,
The Phantom of the Opera.
Rest assured,
we carried an item
to La Voix du Nord from you.
What?
I do not have...
You do not have the right.
I'll complain.
You hear me ?
Calm down !
Unless you want to
still enjoy our hospitality.
Lives are in danger
including that of the commissioner.
You should be careful.
This way.
Patrick.
My God, I was so worried.
- What's going on ?
- I heard gunshots.
What?
Yesterday I waited for you.
I fell asleep in my dressing room.
And around 3 a.m., I jumped.
- I heard a shot.
- Did you see something?
No. I didn't dare go out.
- The director.
- What, "the director"?
He has a gun in his library.
If so, it's him.
- Should we notify the police?
- Especially not.
He would risk canceling the show.
Come on, let's rehearse.
Private play circle
M. Alexandre Latour
Hello.
Alice, you're in good shape.
- I have something to tell you.
- Me too.
Well done. Great, your article.
We doubled the print.
I'm proud of you.
You have never written so well.
What progress!
I have a meeting
with our shareholders.
Keep it up. Bravo again!
"Fairy tale at the Opera
A young person takes up the challenge:
"Replace the irreplaceable
Tatiana Pochenko. "
What about the crime?
What a piece of shit!
- What are you doing here ?
- You scared me.
Doesn't it look like a bullet?
Indeed, yes.
I do not know
how do you say that, but ...
I wanted to warn you.
At the police station, I understood that
you were on the suspect list.
What?
Your car
would have served to crush Touchard.
Whatever !
Most of the time it is here.
Anyone can use it
and put it back in its place.
That I am suspected of having killed
Tatiana I don't understand,
- but even, this brave Touchard.
- I'm telling you what I heard.
Thank you miss.
For the bullet,
See the director about it.
Yes.
Brigitte?
You must change
Lisa Bonfanti's contract.
You have all the contracts here
of the new production.
The amount is per performance,
I will fill that in.
Of course.
Do this ASAP.
Yes, Monsieur Latour.
Hello, Eustache.
Are you okay ? Slept well ?
Yes.
Hello Mr. Latour's secretary.
It's Martine. The journalist
from La Voix du Nord wants to talk to you.
Good. I'm coming very soon.
- Ouch!
- Are you okay, Eustache?
Yes, I am fine. I had a
muscle cramp in the night.
I have a miracle ointment
in my bag.
It will be fine. Thanks, Brigitte.
Good.
It's up to you.
- Should I close the door?
- Yes, Brigitte. Thank you.
Ah!
So there, really thank you.
- I had a wonderful evening!
- What are you talking about ?
From your friends. I remember them!
- We'll discuss it outside.
- Yes, but let go of me!
Didn't you know?
Avril, do you trust me?
No.
I swear on my mother's head
that I have nothing to do with it.
De you hate her, your mother.
Yes. Well.
I need your help.
Call 15 33 88 from any other phone
and say that gunshots
were shot that night at the Opera.
An injured person is probably
hidden in the concierge's lodge.
It must be checked.
I can count on you ?
- Why would I help you?
- I dunno.
For France.
To avoid
a Third World War.
You will find a reason,
I'm sure.
Or for someone good who tought
you everything you know.
Thank you. Be quick.
I'm going back to work.
- I hate you.
- Yes. Me as well.
So, is that you, Colonel?
Do not move.
I have nothing more to lose
anyway.
I work
for the French secret services.
And do you think that reassures me?
It's not me, Colonel.
We thought it was you.
Listen,
if you didn't kill Tatiana ...
Why would I have killed Tatiana?
She was my sister.
We will put you
in protective custody
Ah yes !
I've already heard
that kind of promise.
What are you going to do ?
To negotiate ?
With the guy who killed your sister?
Give us the microfilms.
I swear we'll get that scum.
Why would I trust you?
You have lost your sister.
And me, a very dear friend.
These guys,
they don't come to negotiate.
No! Wait, no!
It was him or me.
Well, mission accomplished?
I do not believe so.
This guy was Tatiana's brother.
He got shot
when collecting the microfilms.
We haven't got our Colonel yet.
Oh shit !
So ?
- Nothing for the moment.
- Where are these microfilms?
Be careful, Swan.
it is becoming more and more dangerous.
You touch that, I scream.
Useless. I encourage you
even to publish the photo.
We found the concierge's wife.
OK, let's go.
I am certain
that she knows something.
Okay, let's resume.
- You've never seen this guy?
- No !
He put his gun to my face.
So yeah, I hid.
For the rest, I don't know anything.
Does the Colonel mean anything to you?
"Colonel", is it an aperitif?
That's it, kiss my ass.
You are in trouble
up to your neck.
Spit it out or I'll make you
fall for complicity.
About what ?
Of murder
and disclosure of state secrets.
You will no longer see the light of day.
That, trust me.
What are you doing here ?
I try to put myself in her shoes.
Her place is in a coffin.
She won't blame me
to have snooped.
You do not realize
what one might think?
What?
Tatiana Pochenko is dead
and an unknown woman takes her place.
It looks like a motive, right?
- You don't think that ...
- I don't think so.
Some will be happy
to imagine yourself slitting her throat.
Take off that ridiculous makeup.
You dance well, you are charming,
and while working,
we will manage to give you you're chance.
But you will never be
Tatiana Pochenko.
It was a hell of a pain
but an exceptional dancer.
Unique.
What? What's the matter ?
Get away !
You are spying on everyone!
Get your butt out of here
or I tell the police.
- I have nothing to reproach myself.
- Ah yes ? And the secretary?
Not the new one, the other.
The one who disappeared.
What, "the secretary"?
I caught her rummaging
rummage through your drawers.
And the next day she flew off,
the curious little one!
Strange, isn't it?
Have a good day.
We get a little makeover,
commissioner?
This is all extremely serious.
All of this hurts extremely.
He said that, but ...
He's on edge.
It'll get better.
Wait!
Lisa, please! Lisa!
Go! But...
I beg you !
Oh ... you ...
I have two words to say to you.
So, what is this contract?
"Between the undersigned ..."
"The company of the Operi of Lille."
There are "I's" everywhere.
Huh?
The cream of the crop of secretaries?
It's a joke, yes!
A blockhead that hits the machine
how I dance Swan Lake!
That's it ?
You have finished ?
The little chef
is happy ?
Has he let off steam?
Well done.
What a great lesson in courage!
Pick on a woman
and humiliate her!
All because
the little chef is upset?
Do you know what we are going through,
us women?
The looks, the remarks,
little hands on the buttocks!
- Then I...
- Not yet.
But it was not going to be long.
I am sure.
We have known each other for 2 days
and you already call me a blockhead?
Say we can't
open a bank account
without asking for the consent of our husbands,
that it was not until 1945
to vote !
And you come to tease me
with a badly typed contract?
Open your eyes, Mr. Latour.
The world has changed.
Men have a lot
to worry about
if they continue to treat us
like children!
Well done.
Respect.
I misjudged you.
My God !
What's going on?
It's here.
Oh my God !
How awful !
I don't feel well, here.
Take the picture.
I can not.
I knew
that this Mallet was involved.
It's strange that an assassin
leaves a corpse ...
several days, like that,
tucked in his own trunk
without even locking it.
Excuse me.
That damn cold. Cold!
Let's start by taking this Mallet,
and after, we will see.
It's a stunt!
They want to accuse me.
- Take him.
- I'm telling you I'm innocent!
For your payslips,
I need an address.
Put 12 rue des Petits-Champs.
It will be fine.
12 rue des Petits-Champs, it is noted.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow, Eustache. Good night.
- Thank you, Brigitte.
- You're welcome.
Eustache Miller.
It could be him.
He was grimacing in pain this morning
just picking up a file.
If it is him
then he shot Tatiana's brother.
The other would have retaliated
and allegedly hit him in the shoulder.
What is that ?
Ladies, we have a visitor.
You're welcome.
I am well
12 rue des Petits-Champs,
I'm not wrong ?
No.
This is where we take
policemen for idiots?
Sorry ?
Your friend,
this very dear Brigitte declared
today she lived
on this address.
- It's amazing, isn't it?
- Ah! Which means...
- Yes.
- Brigitte ...
Yes ? What, "Brigitte"?
Brigitte is not Brigitte. Finally...
Brigitte is not my friend.
What do you mean ?
Brigitte is the sister
of Commissioner Laurence.
What?
Tell him, Brigitte.
It's not a crime
living with her brother.
No, don't bother, Marlene.
I have enough,
of all this comedy.
Come on. Farewell, Brigitte.
Commissioner Laurence
is back.
It hurts, eh?
It's because I spend the night with
a corpse that you are going to be jealous of?
No, she's not a woman.
Stop.
Even with a nice pair of breasts,
a stiff remains ...
You scared the hell out of me.
Baby, I'm leaving you.
I love you too. Ciao.
Commissioner ...
- I thought you were ...
- Dead?
In a coma ?
Something like that.
I even dreamed of you.
You performed my autopsy,
I imagine.
What's on the slate,
for that one ?
Small Soviet caliber
at close range, as you can see.
It makes a mess.
He was killed the day before last night.
That, by the smell, I could have said.
Slippery, you have nothing
crunchy to tell me?
A tattoo on the hip.
crunchy enough for you ?
"A tattoo on the hip"?
Are you okay, commissioner?
You examined brains
men and women
very carefully, I imagine.
- Yes.
Have you noticed
any difference?
I would say,
But this only engages me,
than a woman's brain
is much more ... sexy.
Are you looking for this?
Who are you ?
Commissioner Laurence.
But a few hours ago
you still called me Brigitte.
Are we a player, Mr. Latour?
Do we have debts?
Give me back my gun. I have a permit.
You won't guess
where I found it.
In the mouth
of your partner, Mr. Miller.
He wanted to end his life.
In the toilets.
Come in, Eustache!
But finally...
Eustache, explain yourself!
His russian lover left him
for a chorus-singer of the Red Army.
not true?
Do you like it, you sadist?
What do you want in the end?
Like everyone,
unmask Tatiana's murderer.
It wasn't me who killed her.
- Nor me.
- Of course not.
Otherwise you would already be in jail.
Commissioner Laurence,
criminal police.
Police or not, we do not enter
like that in people's home.
Okay, let's continue.
You're wasting your time.
They turned everything upside down.
Oh ... that's so cute!
- I always dreamed of having this.
- What's the matter here?
I've never seen this slipper.
Show me that.
- Well done, Marlene.
- I swear, I didn't know anything.
Mrs Touchard,
I will need you.
Oh, three times nothing.
Just a quick phone call.
Hi, Gilbert.
Do you remember ?
It was the favorite track
of poor Nadine.
Just before she died
she said to me:"Gilbert".
I thought
that she was asking me to call you.
In reality she was giving me
the name of her murderer.
The Colonel's name.
You realize
what are you saying?
- I loved her as much as you.
- Yes.
Except that she discovered
who you were.
You said it yourself.
A smart,
- a vicious one.
- Whatever !
I had nothing to gain
with the death of Nadine.
We found a corpse in the trunk
of the choreographer's car.
I didn't recognize him
right away, but ... the tattoo,
the letter A on the hip ...
A for "Apollinaire".
Does it remind you of anything?
Obviously I remember.
Network survivors
got a tattoo at the Liberation.
The guy in the trunk was Frank,
your great friend Frank.
I have always thought
that he was sick.
He would have followed you to hell.
What does that prove? I haven't seen him anymore
since the end of the war.
We'll check, Gilbert. We'll check.
But that's not all.
There is also...
Sergei Pochenko's diary.
He had recorded everything
in a notebook.
He had discovered
who the Colonel was,
and its description is quite precise.
Tatiana wanted to move to the West
and negotiate with
the French secret service.
She signed her death warrant.
Is it not?
Stay where you are.
I hope you didn't
do it for the money.
You know how we were treated
we, the real resistance fighters,
after the war :
like crap.
While the bourgeois and the
collaborators have taken over.
It's not for these profiteers
that I fought.
So when the Russians came
to recruit me, I did not hesitate.
I regret for Nadine,
but it's like that.
The war is not over.
Stop with your bullshit.
Where are the microfilms?
Be careful what you do.
I will not hesitate to shoot.
Not bad, as a hiding place.
What could be more discreet
than a slipper
in a dancer's luggage?
Go ahead. Throw it here.
And now?
What are you going to do, Gilbert?
Sorry, Swan.
You will say hello to Nadine for me.
If you kill him,
You'll have to shoot me too!
- Me too !
- Drop that gun!
Go ahead, shoot.
What are you waiting for ?
Either way, the building is surrounded.
You won't get away.
Was the notebook a bluff?
Where did you find it?
In a stationery store. Why?
Are you injured?
A scratch. I am used to it.
But in...
here i'm hurt for real
and deeply.
You made fun of me.
I blame you very much.
- Sir ...
- It's useless.
- Don't wind yourself up.
- Yes, all the same!
You saved Laurence's life.
You are a hero.
Ah there, are you happy?
- What is this picture ?
- This is not your best profile.

- During the investigation!

strangled an obscure journalist! "

They just delivered this bag.

What? What's the matter ?
- Nothing.
- Nothing. Nothing, commissioner.
