Michel Berrera will not have missed his last reception,
she is very successful. All his enemies are there. It's just missing...
his best friend. He had announced that he would not see again...
"Mr. B.", as he was nicknamed,
that the day of his burial, if we bury him alive!
Nobody is crying. Obviously, the death goes back...
at 9 days, the time required for the autopsy.
Looks like justice is getting in the way...
to spoil the corpses.
The examining magistrate!
Michel Maria Berrera, 57, born in Nice of a Polish mother...
and a French father. Nobody will know who he was.
He himself was not to be fixed.
For 40 years, he escaped...
justice that is clumsy.
A scammer, it's quick to say. 300,000 marks for the new opera,
100000 for the hospital, 50000 for the popular restaurants.
He loved the hungry!
He will never have come to my home in 5 years.
His Excellency the Minister of Finance...
of the African Federation. Condolences, madam...
He wanted to exploit us. Why not?
He was such a good fellow.
Why? Why is she crying?
She does not have the right, I was there.
Or I did not see everything.
Nina knew how to cry.
Who killed Mr. B. To finish?
Not me... nor her...
So who?
A month and 4 days ago, I entered for the first time...
in this house, in anguish and fear.
I had not eaten for 48 hours, but I had a letter...
in my pocket, a letter that would change my life...
- Commissioner, it's a suicide? - Nothing more to say to you!
No drugs, no alcohol, no lover.
- Mr. B. Is at the clinic? - For your newspapers,
look for another scandal. It's finish!
You already broke two devices!
There is nothing left to glean.
- And you? - I am not a journalist,
I was summoned.
- You who are from home... - I'm from nowhere!
Nina B. Is in which clinic?
We share the rights of paper.
Wait... The host Maria... No!
The clinic of... The military museum!
The central station! UN! Whatever you want!
Sorry sir... Where can I find Mr. Berrera?
This house is vast as an empire!
No valet...
- of room? - More people!
All screwed at the door,
except my Aunt Milla. Where is she?
In a province on the 1st floor or in a basement colony!
Who knows!
Stop whining or I'll eat you!
Poor Mrs. Nina... God will not want her to die!
I bring you a gentleman.
Another journalist...
No, you do not look like those screaming dogs...
- I received your letter. - Antoine Holden?
- Yes sir. - Sit down.
The dreamed man! Despite my locker?
I received 64 responses to my job offer.
I inquired,
I decided for you. I'm looking at you...
I understand why the newspapers of the day called you...
"the taciturn accused". It was an accident...
You still killed your wife.
You hire me as a driver because of that?
No, because you have your mouth stitched! I like it.
It's rare, very rare. It seems they have never succeeded...
to get a word out during the trial.
Exact? It was not watching anyone.
You will be my driver.
My man of confidence...
Better yet, my friend!
A paid friend, of course!
700 marks a month to start. It is very good!
I'm extremely grateful. Phone.
Hello? Yes, it's good here.
How do you say?
- Well, I warn him. - So?
She is out...
from the operating room. I could have stayed there!
Do you know how to drive an American car? Let's go!
Eat, to become a lady.
- Like Mrs. Nina? - Yes.
So, I'll take medicine to sleep!
I want to go by ambulance! Bravo!
A novel heroine temperament!
- Micky, where did you get that? - In the bedroom...
Nivarnol...
Poison...
I can not leave my daughter in this pestilential environment.
And your newspaper?!
The high places of my daydream!
In dying, Martha entrusted me with her daughter, I keep her.
Old age and innocence taken refuge in crime!
- Shut up... Poor Mr. B.! - Pfff!
The best of men...
Nina...
Do not speak, my love...
Later, you will tell me...
All this is my fault.
Life devours me...
I am hellish, I know it.
I will not leave you any more.
Tell me all the same a word...
Whatever...
Say good night.
Looks like I scare him.
It's the fear that pushed her to do that.
- Your boss is going down? - I do not know!
- I can not wait anymore. - Leave!
If I leave, he will be the first to yell.
I have my last train to take in half an hour.
- Can we count on you? - Why?
You'll say...
from Dietrich that the rendezvous on the highway,
it's tomorrow night, 6 am Do you have a map?
There... You take the detour 20 km before Berlin.
- It's behind the Iron Curtain! - So, we do not die!
- That's all? - It's enough!
Your boss is going to have hot buttocks. Hello Friend!
You know him, Monsieur B.!
- Sir... - What a mess, Holden...
That's it, hell.
Do not know anything...
You have to pray, Holden, kneel, humble...
And there she will live...
Because it's a dead woman that I just left!
You see, Holden, I'm ready...
to fall at the feet of anyone to give me back my Nina...
My beautiful Nina...
To us 2! Do not agitate yourself.
We called you 5 times on the phone.
A gentleman who did not want to leave his name.
A voice all pale, like a child.
Give me an ice cream...
- What were you saying? - A very important thing,
you have an appointment tomorrow.
Sir! Your wife asked for a mirror.
- So what? - She is saved!
I know the desperate. Can she talk to me?
Wait until tomorrow.
Appointment? Where?
Tomorrow at 6 pm on the highway.
On the highway? What do you think of that?
- Dietrich... - Dietrich?!
It's wonderful, Holden! Nina is saved and me too!
You allow? Program for tomorrow:
Come to the clinic with a suitcase of clothes...
for madame... And flowers!
Lots of flowers! 50 roses!
After, you come to take me to my office...
560 km... 11 am, it'll be fine...
- Well sir! - She will live, Holden.
She looks at herself in a mirror,
she will soon ask me for a new jewel and tomorrow,
go on the highway. Life is pretty damn bad!
Let's go to sleep, that's the best for the heart!
Well?
Madam, I bring you your toiletries...
And then these flowers...
Mr. Berrera must be absent from Frankfurt.
The new driver?
Yes Madam.
Your predecessor was a drug addict.
What do you have of particular?
- I'm going out of jail, ma'am. - Ah... That was an idea!
You have never seen a sick person?!
Yes, madam...
Do not look at me like that!
I beg your pardon, madam.
- Look what we send you. - There was a map?
No Madam.
I recognize them, they are my lilies...
This is our charity party. Can I wear them downstairs?
- Take the roses. - Thank you Madam.
Remind me the driver.
Sir! Madam wishes to speak to you.
Mrs?
Mademoiselle, I would like a vase...
No, leave...
What is your name? Holden, ma'am.
- Are you from Frankfurt? - No, I arrived yesterday.
My bag, there...
Can I trust you?
There is no reason, of course.
This must remain an absolute secret...
- But, madam... - I know, yes... My husband!
He had to give you orders.
- No Madam. - So, you have to help me.
I am alone here, like in prison.
I can count on you?
Your instructions, madam!
I have 2 seats at the American Express...
for New York, Friday at 3 am Wear the tickets at this address.
You will say that I will come without fail at the airfield.
You call me right after. Heard, ma'am.
"You will not say anything to anyone, Mr. Holden?"
- I will reward you. - No reward.
I will not say anything to anyone.
You save me!
Festive atmosphere.
Oh, a man!
I do not know you! Rather late, no?
Mr. Kurt Von Reuder?
He was there!
It's in a hurry.
He phoned all night.
He drank some whiskey!
At 4 pm, cockroach! He decided...
go skiing!
It must be in the background!
You take...
- a glass? - Thank you!
Ah... too bad! Someone else...
who is part of the sad race of water drinkers!
- The Saint Markus Clinic... - Cabin No 1!
Phone.
Hello?
Holden! Where are you calling from?
From the office... I understand.
Wait...
Answer me yes or no.
First, you removed the tickets?
Yes Madam...
You went to the address? You saw him? You hear me?
Yes...
"Did you tell him I'll wait for him at the airfield?"
I have to hang up, ma'am.
You can go 1000 km! You pass in the zone?
I repeat: "F-LC 702"...
Thank you!
The work of the dam would begin in May...
if you can provide us with the necessary labor.
- 35000 men! - You will have 70000.
- If we doubled the final estimate: 2 billion marks?!
Our president would not appreciate!
We will offer him this in a week at the signing of the contract.
- If we agree! - The plans of the aerodrome...
and the railway. Hubbub.
Continue without us, we have for a few moments.
So? This leak simplifies everything.
We will sign alone with the blacks. He brought us the case.
- He will not come back. - He can be stronger than us!
This little rat would dig in our past? ! The height!
Mr B. Has become a very big rat.
He must be out of the circuit: Prison, flight or something else.
We filed our complaints, admit that he was afraid.
A warrant can catch him! I thought about it.
Give me the Ministry of the Interior, Office 32!
The name Dietrich is going to hear from me!
- I condemn the violence. - You do not crush the spiders?
- You have it, sir. - Not in peacetime!
Hello?
Karl, the time has come.
B. Leaves for Berlin.
I know everything! Your turn!
- Are you cold, Holden? - No sir.
You are wrong: When we return to this area, we are frozen!
A real fridge! Ah!
What are they saying? Oh, you bastards!
Do you care about newspapers? With conviction, sir!
Usually, they do not care. There, Romberg tells...
that my little angel committed suicide because of my financial troubles.
Cretin, go! He is at home, he is the nephew of my old Milla.
And his little girl lives at home. He's eating the leftovers.
It's funny, I do not blame him so much.
In the middle of this band of cowards, he,
he has some guts! I am a conjurer,
I know how to turn lions into rabbits.
Oh, soon time!
We must approach...
Here!
This is the deviation.
It must be about 500 m from here...
What is going on?
Stop further.
I will see.
Yes, but come back soon!
- A passport in good standing! - Let me take a picture!
I do my job!
His purse is empty.
- An accident? - 10 minutes ago.
Just here?
He was at the side of the road,
- shriveled! - And the car?
They spun,
the bastards!
Do not look back, follow me.
- Did you see the accident? - Yes, I was watching my friend.
A car with 2 men rolled it to 10 m!
They broke the towel. The napkin?
Do not play choir boys.
- Did you see where she came from? - Registration Frankfurt.
Your boss is here? A little further,
In his car. I want to talk to him.
- I will go get him? - Not in front of everyone.
We meet at the 1st turn towards Potsdam.
Hello Friend.
It's a crime, sir!
It's a crime?
Sir Sir!
He moans.
It's better...
That's it...
No... I'm used to...
It happens to me sometimes.
The heart...
In the future, you will know it.
It's ridiculous, huh? A solid guy like me!
Dietrich is waiting for us further. There may still be a chance...
Oh... let's go...
- You knew about it! - I had a pipe.
- I had to warn myself. - I phoned you everywhere.
- Phone? Liar! - Why would I lie?
Ordure! You thought you owned me with this towel.
We'll fuck you in jail, manure!
Oh no!
What are you hiding?
On the road...
from Berlin, we can...
you fix that!
- And how much will it cost me?! - 20000 dollars!
You hear? Why not $ 100,000 or a million?!
Get out of here, you bastard! You forget...
the napkin!
Get out!
5000!
Come on, 10000 bucks, bastard!
Turn around, I'll break his mouth!
We must find it!
Dietrich!
- Do not kill me! - Idiot, you're stupid!
He only wants to talk to you. Come on, come on!
- You'll get it, your money! - Give...
What proves to me that the documents will be returned to me?
That! Poor guy's hands! You drool the capitalists,
it kicks me! Your brothers have dirty hands!
One of them will be in West Berlin after the check.
Good! That's 5000 dollars.
- We said double. - That's 5000 bucks!
The other $ 5,000 when he will give me the documents.
- You have a long arm everywhere! - Really?
- A friend worked for you. - Who?
- Lopiaski! - Never heard of it.
Holden, I never go out...
without this precious medicine. For your heart?
No, to cure the rotten heart of others.
A small bandage of dollars and everything is calm!
Listen to me carefully.
If you come into possession of the towel, do not put it back...
to me!
Not even at...
I understand, sir. Only to you!
Good...
Good evening sirs. Stand on the right, please.
Police!
- The keys, please. - Your papers please.
Thank you!
- Michel Maria Berrera? - Yes.
- We were waiting for you! - Ah yes?
- Follow us, please. - What does it mean?
We have an arrest warrant...
for export fraud and blackmail attempts!
We'll drive you back...
in Frankfurt. Your driver...
bring the car back. Do not come in too fast.
Stop at the hotel to sleep.
The essential... I understand, sir.
Now, I demand...
that you warn Master Zorn!
We will have fun!
5000 dollars! Real leather! We have some...
for life or for death! Show me it's serious.
Do you like them, the horns?
Horn blows.
Do not park here, you are in a bend!
- I am leaving... - Good night!
Police! Antoine Holden?
Yes!
You are summoned to the examining magistrate.
Give me the keys.
Follow me, please.
*- Warning! Air France announces the arrival of its flight 746...
*... from Paris to point 6. Passengers in transit...
*... are requested to attend passport control.
And after the arrest of Mr. Berrera?
- I came home. - Why Mr. Berrera...
did he go to Berlin?
I do not know, Judge.
A driver knows everything!
Not me, I start!
Did he know...
your locker?
You do not want to join him! So?
I really do not know anything. Someone knocked.
Nothing in the car, Judge!
You are free!
I would like to tell you this every time I see!
You're in a rush?
The worst thing is that you seem sincere! Waiting,
do not leave the city.
Mrs!
- Where is Mr Von Reuder? - He will not come, ma'am.
What did he tell you? You saw him?
He went on a trip,
another trip...
You lied to me.
I did not have the time...
to do otherwise. We never have time...
to do otherwise, we lie!
It's more convenient, we hide.
And if it was a trap?
It's so easy!
The driver tells you anything.
He's just late, he's coming.
No Madam.
* Announcement of a flight in German.
You look sick, ma'am...
That's it! Take care of me.
Like all those who hurt me and want to rock me next!
I assure you that I did everything I could.
I'm going to drive you back, madam.
I am ashamed! What can I look like here?
To a very pale person who will faint...
Oh no! I will not give this pleasure to anyone!
* - Passengers bound for New York...
New York...
My suitcase? And my jewels?! That's it, ma'am?
That's it... That was it!
* Announcement of a flight in German.
- Have you read the newspapers? - Yes, they arrested my husband.
Thanks, Holden...
It's a real thank you!
A door slams.
You scared me! Already restored?!
Master Zorn, are you a cleaning lady?
We are threatened with seizure. In agreement with your husband,
I grab everything. Rafle, Master Zorn! Rafle!
Congratulations, madam! You took care to bring your jewelry.
And the police did not find you at the clinic. You have guts...
and common sense! Now you will entrust them to me.
You dream!
Your husband wants me to shut everything up.
His enemies will have no pity. I do not want pity.
It's not about you. Your husband...
will reappear as master!
Give these jewels.
It is better to obey him. They are my husband,
they are yours.
I will not bore you anymore.
- The new driver? - Yes sir...
Zorn, Mr. Berrera's lawyer! You allow?
Come!
Sit.
No? Good!
So, Holden, these papers! Which papers?
- Those of Berlin... - I do not understand you.
This morning, I was able to communicate to the prison with Mr. B.
He told me everything: The attack,
Dietrich, everything...
I also know that the police searched your car...
and she found an empty towel!
Well done, Holden. Now, tell me...
Where are the documents? I still do not understand anything.
You want to finish...
in prison?
Mr. B. Gave you...
- money... - Indeed!
It was me who prepared this money.
There was 30000 dollars.
5000 for Dietrich...
20000 remaining...
Where did the other 5,000 go?
Holden, if I have these documents, the complaints will be withdrawn!
Mr. B. Will be free!
- Excuse me! I forgot that. - Thank you Madam.
So?
"When I see Mr. Berrera, you will have what you are looking for."
You know he's in secret.
It amuses you...
to count them?!
What wonders! You are a fulfilled woman.
Filled!
That's the word...
What do you want?
You are a little secretive!
- Where did you hide the towel? - Sorry, I'm not aware.
Have you lost your memory?
We will break it, we can not do otherwise!
And that? Its good?
Its good?
Its good?!
And that?
- Attention, we come! - Over there!
You, we'll meet you.
Moaning.
Holden?
Holden!
- They took care of me... - But... these men...
What were they looking for?
You arrived right away...
- They could not... - No!
Oh no, do not lie!
You noticed that I do not look like Master Zorn,
neither physically nor morally. It's your turn to trust.
I heard Zorn...
They are all like dogs after these documents.
- Do you know what they contain? - Unfortunately yes.
- Are not you afraid of me? - No, ma'am, no...
- I'm making coffee. - No, please...
- Why? - I'm the driver...
of your husband... Calm down!
I was his secretary.
Change your shirt!
I have never seen a man like you, devoted, patient,
brave... It's very bad to be brave!
It's a province! But I still do not understand...
why do you love my husband so much!
Because he helped me, he held out his hand.
Oh, it's delicious! Really!
You have a pettish nature, no driver!
There you go!
You have not changed very long.
You make fun again!
Fool! You are an imbecile!
Because I'm rich and I had jewels?!
I had confidence right away. You saw me in beautiful sheets.
All pale, in beautiful white sheets, in this clinic...
44! No sheets, a camp!
Bugs! Refugee... A booth in sheets!
Typist... Americans!
The first stockings of silk... And then,
your master, Mr B.
Our master... At that time,
he was kind enough.
And thinner! What should I say again...
to put a man in trust?
A lot of money, a lot of money! And dresses of Paris!
But we did not know about the Falkenbergs,
the Von Knapp and the Von Reuder that it was my combat uniform,
that I had nothing to myself, not even a child, not even a dog!
I am sinister, right?
Why do I tell you my life?
I listen to your life.
Phone.
Hello? It's Milla, a communication...
from the outside.
Yes?
No!
Someone crazy...
Who is interested in what?
- What?! - She wanted to see me,
a question of life or death. Always those dirty papers!
There are too many of them after me
the judges, the police, the gangsters... I can not anymore!
I have to go. You understand me?
Good...
I understand you.
No! Stay...
What does this towel contain?
Documents about former Nazis...
War criminals, people here...
Very good people! I was sure, I know them.
What happiness, how shaky they must be!
I imagine them losing their pride, their cruelty!
Children who would be scared! They were monsters!
I saw the pictures. That they lose sleep!
I will hand over these documents...
to Master Zorn.
You are crazy?! It would be too easy!
I already see them all agree between them!
He would be released from prison, he would always be there! I'm so afraid!
At the clinic,
it was like he was going to crush me!
Phone.
We will make a beautiful scandal! Scandal...
beautiful, atrocious!
They will be caught in the same trap! They can not do anything...
against us!
We do not kill each other for a fool, no! We kill each other to be free!
It will help me.
Will you help me?
Yes...
- I can help you? - If you want!
Hey, Micky! I'll cut your ears in tip!
- If I catch you! - Mister Please!
My car is down... Stay here, Micky!
- She's there. - We'll see that.
The engine starts.
She walks! What do you want from me?
I did not dare to enter. I phoned you all night.
Ah, it was you...
This is the honor of a man!
I am the secretary...
from Mr Schwertfeger. His honor?!
- He wants to talk to you. - What a dedication for him!
You have to talk to him!
Why does not he come?
Are you afraid, in broad daylight?
- Me, afraid? Do you think! - Why are you attacking...
to such a fair man? His envoys were just typing.
I will go congratulate him!
Let's go!
Where are you going?
Here it is!
Good morning, Mr Holden. Sit down!
You have strong nerves, Schwertfeger!
- In steel! - You wanted to see me?
I'm here! Talk to me? I'm listening to you!
Indeed, I wanted to talk to you.
Look at you and look at me!
We could live peacefully each on our side.
I am for coexistence, it is only a question of money.
I prepared a check... You change tactics quickly.
Last night... It's not my fault!
This thing interests a lot of people.
For my part, I condemn unnecessary violence.
And the useful violence?
Read! Look at all these zeros.
That's my way of being violent.
You can even add a zero more!
You are too kind!
Good! So...
Where did you hide these papers? It does not look anyone!
Ah, this bastard looks at me! For months, your boss...
revolves around these documents like a jackal!
We should stick you in jail!
So why so many zeros?
You opened the towel?
Oh... Do you think it's worth more?
- Yes, Mr Schwertfeger... - Much more?
Much more!
How many?
"Poles, Mr. Schwertfeger, whom you have killed without reason!"
- It's the past. - I would like...
see them again alive!
What I have done,
I did it! These people recognized only strength,
like everyone! Have you already ordered?
No. I was just a soldier in 44.
I did not murder anyone!
In full debacle, it was too late! Listen to me, Mr. Holden!
Holden!
Listen to me! I raise a son, I will make a man of today.
He is pacifist! I will leave...
plants that support 15,000 people...
that I have to pay every week.
And for an old story dating back 18 years...
- 81 corpses! - The Reich was in danger!
The army in danger! Especially the SS!
There were heroes everywhere! Men who died...
in the Berlin metro! Without that, the Russians would have violated...
your mother and your sisters! My family died...
under the phosphor bombs! Do you find that better?
For now, it's about your crimes.
The judgment dates from October 8, 1942. 80 hostages! By mistake,
the day of the execution, we brought you 81.
"Do you think I had fun counting them?!"
You had 81 people executed...
saying "one more or less"...
This is called an assassination!
Who tells you that I do not have terrible remorse?
Who told you that the 81st victim was not a boy like him?!
Peter, what are you doing here?
- You asked me to move on. - Have you been here a long time?
- No, dad, a few minutes. - Good!
Wait for me in my office.
My son is here for a long time? I did not see him go by,
I was in accounting.
Mrs...
What would I become without you? Sit down!
Thank you!
I make you do 50 km a day of Eve...
to bring me beauty products. You say to yourself:
She is good at locking up! No...
Well yes, I locked myself here for Christmas!
A Christmas for me alone, a serious Christmas...
As I read, I noticed something terrible.
I left so fast that...
You forgot your toiletries!
What can become of a woman without her beauty products?
Nothing good!
We get along well sometimes!
Always!
Except on that point...
Where did you take this tube? Do you search my suitcases?!
When it's necessary, yes...
- Give me that! - No...
I beg you!
Why? Why did you want to start again?
Why?
Why should I continue?
Because of this man who went to winter sports?
For winter sports?! Poor Kurt von Reuder!
He does not have much imagination. I was hoping better,
Borneo or Jamaica!
Winter sports...
Did you really go to this apartment?
- They drank a lot of whiskey. - Yes...
He drank a lot of whiskey.
He liked the useless!
You are not a useless thing.
The most useless of all!
I'm not used to anything, I'm bored,
I'm afraid... Understand me, I wanted to punish them all by dying!
When I woke up, my husband was still there:
"Do not speak, I do not want to know anything".
I heard: "You will speak, I will know everything!"
He'll know everything, even the name of this man...
who did not have the strength to carry me to New York!
Give me the tube...
I will not do anything wrong. No.
- Please! - I beg you...
We have to wait for you in Frankfurt for New Year's Eve.
Me? No one...
And me? I do not count?
Stay...
- What is it? - We ask sir downstairs.
- Who is that? - He did not say his name.
- We followed you yesterday. - I would have noticed!
I'll see what it is, it's probably nothing.
I go!
Merry Christmas, Holden!
It does not seem to go.
- Do you think you're holding me?! - I do not believe,
it's done... for you 2!
- What do you want? - Surely not contemplate...
lovers a Christmas morning. I find it sinister...
And even a little disgusting!
I wondered why you refused me these papers...
Obviously...
As long as the husband stays in prison, your feelings flourish!
- Shut up! - I like to talk!
You made me follow! And?
- There is the future of Mrs B. - The future of Mrs. B. Does not look...
that Mrs. B.!
- Mrs... - We always see you...
at unexpected and well chosen times!
What are you expecting from me?
A little common sense, every 2.
It's not about giving yourself 15 days of passion...
It does not matter the terms.
The judge wants the skin of Mr B.
Mr. B. Will be sentenced...
to years in prison by your fault, Holden!
By your fault!
He trusted you and you let him rot.
- That's wrong, Master Zorn! - So, these documents?
Master Zorn, you will not be the strongest.
We are 2.
I did not want to teach you this news,
especially a Christmas morning... The son of Schwertfeger...
committed suicide yesterday.
He was 17 years old...
Beside the corpse, we found a paper,
with a weird sentence... "One more, one less,".
"What can it do?"
At school, he had been told about his father,
but it's not easy to doubt a father.
You, you have succeeded!
He was clutching the barrel of a shotgun between his teeth.
All this blood, all this mud,
by your fault!
The towel is in a safe...
at the Berlin train station.
Why?
Why do you do that?
There are gestures that we regret. Never a generous gesture!
I never doubted your good faith!
As it says in the Book of Job:
"The light fell from Heaven and opened your eyes!"
So, yes?
You abandon your complaints against Mr. B.
I have prepared a letter of withdrawal for justice.
Sign here...
Thank you!
Mr. Von Knapp...
Right here...
Thank you...
I sympathize with your pain...
We have to face life.
He was too young...
to understand.
Thank you...
Hubbub.
Please, gentlemen!
My client, Mr. Michel Berrera, will give tomorrow morning...
a press conference.
He finds freedom...
of which he had been unjustly deprived!
- Are you going to counterattack? - Have you started your memoirs?
Take off your glasses, Mr B.!
You are reconciled...
with your enemies? We do not know anything yet!
We just take the air!
Hubbub.
Horn blows.
- My love... - They did it fast!
- Real lambs! - Please, Zorn,
let me savor my freedom.
My wife... And my friend Holden,
my true friend!
How happy I am!
And me, dear Julie! My brave Milla...
- I prepared a strudel! - Do I still love him?
You will eat it with me!
Phone calls today?
- 72! - And yesterday?
- 4! - Yesterday, that's fine. But today, 72
it is very thin!
Just a tear!
You shed a lot of tears for me?
Yes sir.
I want champagne.
- You are a real woman! - She will not do like her father!
- That is, blackmail? - No, she's drinking!
What nerve! I did not see you with the other journalists.
You were warm here waiting for me?
Do you have some revelations to make, Mr. B.?
Only one! If I still read a line of you on me,
I will make you cry. I like to cry! I crush people,
and then I look at them on the ground... Very interesting!
You do not know what you're saying anymore! Come to bed, Micky!
- That's all? - I'll make you cry.
Get the hell out of here!
What a junk...
What useless emotions! Come on, let's work...
Give me the mail.
That's all? Only personal mail.
You can live very well without me!
Thank you, my dear, I do not need you anymore.
See you tomorrow! Congratulations!
Zorn! You will eat my freedom cake afterwards.
My dear? He whispers.
Well, I'll take care of it right away.
You can finish your cake!
Ah, Holden! We're going to celebrate!
Wear us some glasses, Zorn.
I drink to the health of our friend Holden.
Nina, you do not thank my liberator?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr Holden.
I thought of you during my loneliness...
Oh yes... I know everything!
The blows, the judge, the journalists... I know everything,
even behind the walls of a prison!
That's what you did.
I want to kiss you.
Why Zorn let me rot for 7 days...
before using the documents?
The devoted Holden gave them to me only yesterday!
- That is true? - Yes sir.
"He believed only in you, he had your orders."
He had no confidence in me. Wonderful Holden!
Taciturn and cautious! He was there at my place.
My poor Nina felt less alone.
He was even ready...
to defend it!
Come on, Holden, what would you think of 10,000 marks?
- No sir. - It's too much,
- Nina? - Why not 100,000?
Wonderful! It looks like marble,
but she's good as bread!
Good, come on! 20000 marks! You will write him a check.
- At your service! - You'll call me.
Mrs!
See you tomorrow!
Saying that you did 5 years in prison...
because a man was getting too close to your wife.
I understand what you had to endure.
5 years in prison... 5 years of this horror!
We have something in common now.
- We can chat! - Sir...
- What? - I can not accept.
- What is it? - I'm leaving you!
He leaves us after what he did for us.
My decision must seem strange to you.
Nothing seems strange to me, I'm always ready for anything!
- I am sorry... - I hate regrets!
You will have your check. Good evening!
Finally...
Finally alone with you...
What do you want to do in prison? You hit the head,
you think, you think...
What I dreamed about this minute...
My first minute in front of you...
If you knew...
Why did you do it? What do you mean?
Everything is allowed, but not to kill oneself...
Finally you are here!
My beautiful Nina... No, not for years.
What do you mean?
That I was like a dead woman!
You swore to me not to ask anything!
- It's you who want to talk. - Ask me one question...
and I'm leaving forever! Everyone leaves me...
It is your fault! Your life, your business,
your enemies, your pleasures! And my death...
I die several times a week...
every time my heart lets go.
All these people...
who think they are idealists!
And these bastards who fuck me in jail...
and who will pick me up at the exit. Finally...
I have you! My happiness,
it's to have you! What a good comedian,
you would almost cry!
That is true!
I do not scare you anymore!
Tell me, it is not possible.
No it is not possible!
If you knew what I'm good with you.
If you could really look at me...
You need new eyes! And new jewelry too...
When I think Zorn has shipped all your diamonds!
I found a beautiful stone for you.
I said to myself: "If everything succeeds",
"it will be for Nina!"
You will go tomorrow.
At Wagner! You'll ask Schermann...
Here!
Tell me you're not unhappy.
No... I am not unhappy.
That's all I ask.
Come on, I can throw myself in the water!
The engine is running.
A bell rings in the distance.
Intercom.
Cover yourself, sir, it's not hot!
- Who is here? - It's me!
You?!
You are crazy?! I was very afraid...
seeing him leave...
He left? Or?
In a taxi.
At this hour? It's a trap, he knows everything!
He threatened you?
It's even more serious, he gave me that... on purpose!
Travel agency?
The 2 places for New York!
He knows everything!
Zorn and he whispered to each other.
A door slams.
I saw some light in your room.
Do you need anything? Thanks, Milla...
You can go back to bed. Micky cried all night...
because of the storm.
We can not stay here, we have to leave!
With me? With a man who does not have a penny?!
It's not for you, these expeditions!
I can not live with that fear anymore...
Anything, anywhere! My jewels!
Ask Zorn! As soon as his office is open!
What is he preparing against us?
What are we going to do?
I can not give you this check.
- It was heard with Mr. Berrera. - This is not true today.
He phoned to cancel his orders.
Mrs. Berrera asked me to take her jewels.
Sorry, Holden, same instructions!
- What does it mean?! - Mr. B. Is intelligent,
he has a changing brain.
Tell me the truth!
You are an instrument in the hands of Mr. B... Like me!
Like Schwertfeger!
Like many people!
Holden!
No needless sadness, we make it!
So?
Are you waiting for your driver? I went to the jeweler.
Ah...
That's the excellent Holden!
So, have you changed your mind?
Yes... Totally!
Oh, that check... Excuse me!
The circumstances of life! We will talk about it again.
What would you do with this money? We will have a good day!
I will start to settle my accounts,
including those of this junk: A new article by Mr. Romberg!
He will not have enough tears to cry.
Take care of madame, go with her.
We'll talk tonight.
He plays with us...
like the cat with the mouse!
We will leave!
In the suburbs?! You can just pay for the tram!
- We'll hide! - Right here?!
He's at home here. It's my fault if you're involved in all this!
I will not abandon you.
So, it will go very far... until the end!
To save me!
We still have the fight!
- With what? - His accounts are blocked.
- We'll give him back his money. - We'll sign before with blacks.
It's not sure yet.
I will never disarm!
Come in, gentlemen! I also feel...
everything your heart can feel! His excellence...
- I am very sorry, sir. - If we started?
Good! Perfect...
You allow?
Gentlemen! Your consortium, of which I am a modest...
outside element, deserves to learn a great news!
His excellence...
signed the Memorandum of Understanding...
for funding...
of the new African Federation!
How?
I welcomed President Kamubu this morning at the airport!
He knew...
of your meetings with the delegation. They are now...
without object! Which means?
That this case concerns more than me alone on the European side!
To this immense task... And urgent!
To this immense and urgent task, all Europe must associate.
I registered your group for a symbolic share of 10%.
But your word, excellence?
Africa speaks in a low voice.
We hear it clearly!
Let's meet on Christmas Eve...
to celebrate this historic event. I count on you!
As always, Mr. Berrera!
I beg you, excellence!
Ramona! My Nina!
Let's go! Let's go!
I have searched everywhere.
We'll find her! You warned the police?
Not the police! It would be another scandal...
If it happened misfortune to the little...
- And you? - Nothing!
Around 6:00 am, a car stopped in front of the house.
Micky was playing in the yard...
I'll still look up there.
- Holden! - Sir?
A second!
Little Micky has disappeared.
She must not be far.
Give me a little service.
Pass me my socks that are in the bottom of the dresser.
It's hard to stoop. It's not the job of a driver...
But we can ask that to a friend, can not we?
What is he doing here, this one?
He is charged in addition.
With this damn Micky who searches everywhere!
Nina, Micky is at your place? No!
Do not enter, Holden!
A nymph gets dressed! You are not a satyr?
You do not look like it. Take your time!
What is this ruckus?
- He did it! - But no!
He kidnapped Micky!
He promised to make me cry!
You should not write this article!
You are a criminal! What did you do with my daughter?!
I'm not fine?!
Micky is gone!
- We'll find her! - You removed it...
because of my articles! I want to meet Micky!
But you!
I will shoot...
- Holden... - Do not be shy!
It will make a title for my newspaper! I always told you...
The sight of blood scares you?!
Mr. Berrera...
holding his heart, to prevent him from flying?!
No more Monsieur B.! More than a pack of fat...
just good at making margarine!
- What are you doing? - It does not concern you!
Another medicine?
Who looks like him!
- You're crazy?! - It's him or us!
- At its first crisis... - A natural death!
Everything, but not that!
You understand nothing!
Today is Micky... Tomorrow, it will be us!
A man fights with his fists, he does not do that!
A man, you?! A coward like the others!
Nina...
You just know how to whine!
You delusions...
I hate you! You thought I loved you, a driver?!
What you say,
you do not believe it. You are too stupid and too cowardly!
Go away! Go away! Go away!
You only know how to hate...
If you had the courage of your crimes, kill yourself...
would be easy! Milla, we found the little one!
Where was she?
Locked up in the champagne cellar!
- Why in the cellar? - I'm never allowed to drink...
- champagne! - My sweetheart!
So, it's clever!
You forget that I have a heart!
- I behaved like an idiot. - Too late, the excuses!
I know now that you think what you are writing... Legitimate...
defense!
I got you, huh?!
He laughs loudly.
You cry?
You who never cry...
You were scared for me?
A tear from your eyes...
And that in exchange...
If you cry a lot,
if you still love me a little,
you will ruin me...
Now you are Cleopatra...
and I am Berrera the African!
Go! At work!
Cheerful and catchy music.
Your table is waiting for you, 18 seats in front of the orchestra.
Before we go for a drink at the bar.
2 glasses as usual!
They must wait for us in fear.
Let them marinate in their own juice!
Do you know what a marinade is?
It prevents the game from breaking down.
I'm wrong to avenge myself? You know, I hate these people.
They too, they hate you! None love you.
This new year will be your year!
We will make a great trip.
Africa! What do you say?
During this new life, I will not be boring.
- You're not boring, you're... - What am I?
- You are too much! - Too what?
Too ambitious, too cumbersome, too hectic...
And even too cruel with those people you keep waiting.
That's my way of giving them a little moral lesson.
And to me, what are you doing to me?
Nothing at all!
You are free!
"It would be better if I leave alone for some time."
Leave alone, I'll wait for you.
On the threshold of this new year, which I did not expect to live,
I have something to tell you, Michel...
Do you call me by my first name? It must be serious.
It was serious.
Why?
You know it... You know why I did not want to live anymore.
This letter from the travel agency that you gave me...
Is it you who has it? I had lost it.
Which report? Have you ever been jealous of me?
Jealous, me? What an idea!
No... You had a cockroach, that's all.
A little cockroach...
That is all!
Come! I can not wait for them to admire you!
We will make them die of envy!
What does it mean?
Nobody phoned?
There is a message from Master Zorn. You must call him back.
Bring me the phone.
Here... Von Reuder!
Good evening sir! Good evening madam!
- It's been a long time! - The last dance of the year?
- No thanks. - Go dance, I ask you!
I was like crazy... I wanted to apologize!
As long as you did not break a leg!
- What took me? - You were scared.
No, I lost...
the head!
Let's go to New York, if you still want me.
It's a little late, I'm going on a trip!
With him?
No... Alone!
Poor Kurt... The snow... The sun...
It's not enough for you? You still need the truth.
They say he's a monster, a pig. I prefer...
a dead pig that a young man...
satisfied! He is a man. Look how it's done!
Zorn, what's going on?
We lost.
I burn the documents. Mr Schwertfeger...
warned me of the danger. What danger?
The police must arrive soon.
A search decided by the prosecution.
You save Schwertfeger and me, you leave me in the shit?!
You crush me, all because you betrayed me, Zorn!
No! I might be accused of...
blackmail. I told you,
It's dynamite.
I say you betrayed me!
The Attorney General asks you, sir.
It's them, I did not lie to you.
Schwertfeger is with you... He wins all the way.
We're going to shut myself up in jail...
and I will pay for everyone.
I am sorry...
The 12 strokes of midnight sound.
The orchestra plays "It's only a goodbye".
Happy New Year...
