Taking your number, fella.
Got it.
That's in case you screwed me.
Barthelemy.
Bart...
Barthelemy.
Barthelemy!
Barthelemy, yeah.
Which one?
Barthelemy.
Barthelemy?
Barthelemy.
I'm Doyle.
Ah, Doyle!
Henri Barthelemy.
We're expecting you.
Little spare-time work?
Narcotics.
In the fish?
In the fish.
Unfortunately, this is our information, Monsieur Doyle.
Oh, pardon me.
Inspectors Diron and Miletto.
Monsieur Doyle.
We shall work together.
Great.
Henri!
What's all this about?
What?
I'm sorry.
April Fools' Day.
The first day of April.
This information was a bad joke.
Over here on April Fools' Day,
it's a custom to pin a fish on people.
Usually, a paper one.
They really pinned it to you this time, didn't they?
This way, please.
"Doyle,
James R."
"42 years old,
nickname, Popeye."
Cute.
Spinach.
Why do you have my file in this shit house?
This another one of your April Fool jokes?
I like reading it here.
Uhh...
60 kilos of heroin.
It was a big arrest.
My young Miletto, we have an authentic American hero here.
Where the fuck did you get that?
I was requested to help you.
I didn't request that you come here,
but I wanted to know who you were.
After this big arrest, it disappeared.
I read in the papers
that somebody stole your heroin
out of police headquarters.
Was it your friends?
My friends are still on the force.
How many men have you killed?
Wait a fucking minute!
Am I being interrogated here?
Am I working with you,
or am I some goddamn suspect?
Five.
Five people killed.
It seems quite a lot.
I've been a New York cop for 14 years.
Dope coming from this city
has killed a lot more than I have.
Two of the dead were policemen.
Right?
Miletto, show him his office.
Mr. Doyle,
this is your office,
right here.
Yeah.
Right next to the shit house.
You got a telephone, an extension.
It looks terrific. Pretty nice.
Henri!
I'd be better off in New York on welfare.
Poor Popeye. You are, how do you say, homesick.
I'll send for some spinach.
Why don't you knock off the chicken shit?
I came over here for one thing...
To get Charnier and put him where he belongs.
That's what I'm going to do, even if you won't.
Bravo! It's D-Day in Marseilles.
The Americans have landed.
This Charnier of yours,
to begin with, this is not his name.
Second, there is no record of such a man,
but there is a record on you.
I must remind you,
it's you that let him escape.
Come. Back to work.
But you come only to observe.
You carry no gun.
It's illegal for foreigners, even policemen.
No. I'm strictly by the book.
You read my file?
That's why I asked.
OK.
Doyle.
You just stay close to me and observe.
You are my guest.
You do nothing, say nothing, OK?
Who, me? I'm naked, remember?
You must think I'm some hero.
I'm here to watch how the pros do it.
OK.
Hey!
Doyle!
Doyle, come back!
Doyle!
Raoul!
Fuck you!
Fuck it!
You bastard!
Get him off me, goddamn it!
I want him arrested!
You son of a bitch!
You've got no powers here, Doyle!
Forget it.
Raoul! Come on.
I want that bastard collared!
You let him go?
He's ours.
How do you think he got out of there?
Holy shit.
Christ.
Why don't you go back to New York and kill policemen,
since that's what you do best?
Two months' infiltration wasted through your madness.
If you told me, he'd still be alive.
If you'd done what I said,
he would still be alive.
Hey, what did he say?
What did he say?
Look at all this stuff.
Must have been acid.
Must be enough for 50 kilos, maybe double that.
You hit them too soon. You screwed up.
I've a job for you.
You want to know what people say?
You talk to them!
You mean interrogate them?
Am I supposed to use sign language?
I don't speak French.
Miletto will be your interpreter.
Miletto!
Hey! Shove it.
No, you shove it!
You don't help us outside.
You just fuck up.
Do you think Marseilles is like Harlem,
just kicking blacks around the streets?
Get depositions from everyone.
I don't give a damn what they say.
I came here to nail that Frog good,
not sit around beating my meat
while you French narcs grab the credit.
That's what you want, right?
That's right.
We should decide about the rendezvous,
a place to meet after you have made the delivery.
How's New York?
You know better than that, William.
New York is hazardous to your health,
at least to my health.
But it is an amusing city.
How did you do it?
It was very simple and droll.
83 policemen wanted to talk to me.
52 of them talked to my money instead.
I love a city
where you know where you stand.
Hank, when are you running the law up here?
You're really missing it, buddy.
I'm going to take you in that alley.
I'm going to start on your throat.
I'll bust everything in it.
Then I'm going to hit you so fucking hard in the belly,
it'll break your backbone.
Compris that?
No, you don't understand.
Then I'll set your arms over a curb,
jump up and down on them.
Then your kneecaps... one, two... oatmeal.
I'll make oatmeal out of them.
Then you will put me in Charnier's lap.
Ah, food!
What did he do, cremate the fucking thing?
You got the ketchup. Where's the mayo?
The mayonnaise.
Mayo, mayo, mayo, mayo.
Watch my mouth... mayo.
Mayo.
Mayo. Right.
Relish.
Right!
Mayo and relish.
Send Miletto up, will you?
Miletto!
Yes, yes, Miletto!
That's good, huh?
Hey, Miletto, get up here.
Ask this fucker something.
Ask him if he ever picked his feet in Poughkeepsie.
This comfortable for you?
Ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?
I'm going to take a walk.
Doyle, the orders.
Get your orders right here.
Four Roses straight up, water on the side.
Four Roses straight up and water on the side.
Oh, shit.
Uh...
Bourbon.
Uh... bourbon.
Um...
Can you give me some help here?
Uh... Jack Daniels.
Jack qui?
Jackie, yeah. Jackie Daniel.
Jackie?
Uh...
Let's see...
Scotch! There it is.
El scotcho.
Whiskey? Avec glace?
In a glass, yeah.
No, I don't want any ice.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, ladies.
Can I offer you a little drink?
A drink.
Mind if I sit down?
I don't understand.
Just have a little drink.
OK.
How would you like to kiss my Irish ass?
I guess I told them.
Hey, fella...
How about another drink here?
About two fingers.
Um... give yourself one, too.
What's your name?
Henri.
Help yourself to one.
Have a drink with me.
Um...
You!
Moi?
Give yourself a drink.
Moi?
Merci beaucoup.
You got it.
You going to drink that green shit?
Come on, come on, fill it up.
Have a drink.
Pretty good drinker.
Double?
Double.
I hope those Hell's Angels come back.
Have another drink.
No, no, no, no. Have another. You.
Down the hatch.
Throw it back.
Ah!
Another.
First.
No, no, no.
Give me my hat back!
Parlez-vous?
No?
Oui.
Hello, Inspector.
Yes. How are you?
Well, it's sunny.
Sunny. Warm.
Yes. There, too.
The plan is going as you said it would.
I don't like it.
If Charnier is in Marseilles and sees him,
it will be very dangerous.
Well, I have two men on Doyle day and night,
but he is unpredictable.
No! I would not do it this way!
First, I would tell Doyle myself
that he's being used as bait.
He's your man, not mine, Inspector.
Yes. He's very evident, very visible. Yes.
Hello? Hello?
Hello! Merde!
Hello. Hello.
Operator, we were cut off.
I was talking to the New York police.
What do you mean it's the French operator's fault?
What?
Hello! Hello!
Hello!
I want to go right there.
Do you speak English?
You speak English?
Hey!
Hey, Henri!
Pretty good!
You had a two-hour lunch.
Are you investigating the greasy spoons?
Doyle, this is Mademoiselle LeFevre.
Monsieur Doyle.
I thought you left us.
No. I wanted to find out
why Charnier likes this burg so much.
I found out.
What?
While Charnier walks around free,
the police are having two-hour lunches.
I'll get you a taxi.
No, I'll stay here.
As you wish.
Do me a favor.
Get your tails off my back.
Is the tall one your brother-in-law?
I came to get that fucking Charnier,
and I'm going to get his ass!
And I could do a lot better
if Sacco and Vanzetti were off my tail.
Nice to have met you.
You want this ball?
Huh?
Come and get it.
I wish this Blanc de Blanc would travel.
I'd take 20 cases back to Washington.
All you Americans have that misconception.
Wine will travel.
It is people who have difficulty.
They understood about you not traveling with the shipment.
Good.
You continue to see the situation as I do.
Bill.
Has Geneva taken the necessary first step?
Exactly as you wanted it,
with a good spread against inflation and floating currencies...
100,000 South African rands, 50 in Canadian dollars,
another 50 in yen.
200,000 all together.
10% as per the agreement.
OK. Tell them the final shipment is en route.
Once it arrives, we cook for a few days.
Understood.
We are expecting you for dinner.
Very informal, you know.
I'd love to, but no can do.
Official business.
Looks like you guys want us back again.
I'm having dinner tonight with the Minister of Defense.
Thank you very much for the lunch, Alain.
Incidentally,
Geneva's counting on you.
Sorry. They want it made clear.
Naturally.
My expectations of them are the same.
Be sure they know that, too.
