- Miguel ?
You have come looking for me ?
- You wanted to show me what was on a microfilm.
- That is true.
I have forgotten about it.
Good. Come see.
You see, it's this.
It looks like a piece of ordinary film.
Look.
The manufacturing formula
for a type of drawing paper
which turnrd out to be good business.
We exported it everywhere.
- That belongs to the past. - Not quite.
These are formulas which are always being perfected.
That's why I classify them and check them.
- And the new formula for this extraordinary fabric ?
- It's still secret.
The patent has not been filed.
- You said I would see it on microfilm.
- Yes, but it's ultra secret.
Such an invention is expensive.
Imagine a stranger...
- I would just like to see this formula.
- Ah, you are stubborn!
Come on, come on.
- I do not know where he is.
- There.
- You only have one copy ? - No.
But no-one
can exploit this invention before us.
who can be calling at this hour ?
- Hello, yes ?
No, he's feeling fine, now.
Okay, I tell him.
I hear you.
Goodbye.
It was your friend Jef.
He needs you at the yard.
Your boss is calling you. - I expected that.
I'll take a taxi back.
Keep your microfilm. - Thank you.
- I wanted to see you, and your wife and the kids.
I was not so sick.
If I do not return, I will be in trouble.
- Always the same, Miguel.
It's your way of taking a holiday.
- Miguel, Miguel.
Let's go, it's late.
- It is hardly 8 hours. - The operation was planned for dawn.
- Come on, come on, Poly.
Come, Poly. Come.
Go, Poly, go.
Let's move out of sight.
- Poly! Poly! Ahoy!
My little Poly...
- Continue, continue...
- You are a real prankster.
- But...
- Come, Poly. I did not see you anymore.
I came to wait for you here.
- Wait, I'm going. - Stay.
- Do not let him go. We'll land ourselves in trouble.
- We cannot run after him in front of the customs officers.
- So, what do we do ?
- We follow them at a distance.
- Quick, I'm going to see Juanito.
- Quick, Jef!
- I did not think a little girl could ru so fast.
- You see them ? - No.
I'm meeting with Juanito here.
I promised Juanito not to go near the edge.
- There are traces of the pony.
- I do not see any trace. - He's over there.
- You're all blond. Oh yes, you're pretty, my pony.
What, what is this ?
Well, how ugly!
It was Jef who made this. It is not beautiful.
Look what I do with this horror.
- Nina!
You must not approach the edge.
I have got some flowers for you.
- I was alright.
I threw something that Jef had put around Poly's neck.
- Why did he do that ?
- I do not know.
Say, they are beautiful, your flowers.
Thank you.
- What are you doing here ?
- We were afraid that Nina might fall in the river.
- Why are you rummaging in her mane ?
- There was...
We are searching...
- That ugly metal thingy,
you don't need to search for it. - She threw it in the water.
- What ? - What ?
- Yeah, it was ugly.
- Do not bother about a bit of pipe
- Instead of looking for a lead pipe,
you should go to work.
Dad says you're lazy.
He is not happy.
- Let's come back later. They are going to tell all the men.
- What are you saying ? - We will go back to work.
- You are here. I was looking for you everywhere.
What is going on ?
- Weird things.
- We're not looking ?
- We'll find the document tonight.
- Not immediately ? - No. The kids are there.
And we need a hoop and equipment.
- What plan are they hatching ?
- Come. - Lary will not be there.
- Yes, do not worry about that.
- Ah... Ah... It is good to cool off.
Missed your income ?
I did not expect to see you again so soon.
Have you made your holidays last?
You come back soon.
- We are late. - Barely.
- We will work double hours. - Triple more like. Follow me.
Cut and brush these branches before noon.
- They were not scheming anything. They are just lazy.
- They followed us.
- Nina. What are you doing here ?
- We are going to the village. - It's market day.
- Teodore is selling his figurines.
- That's good. Go on then.
- The lead pipe business may not be a bargain.
- "The case of the lead pipe", what a silly name!
- Come see my pretty wooden carvings. come and see
my wooden animals, made by hand.
Look how beautiful they are, my figurines.
And not expensive. Come and look.
- Come near, my children. Come to see.
Come.
It is cheap. You also have this one.
This one, and another over there.
- If it's too expensive, I prefer to keep it.
Children!
- Teodore! - Okay, Juanito?
Nina...
Not too tired ? - Poly, that is not for eating.
- Do not touch.
- Gentlemen, ladies, come see my figurines...
Approach, come see. And cheap, not expensive at all.
- Juanito!
Do you know where Miguel is ? - Yes, he's working in the forest.
- His brother has just been arrested.
- Andres ? Not him, my God.
No it's impossible.
- The police phoned. They'll call back in 15 minutes.
- Juanito, quickly, run to warn Miguel.
- Quick ! - You, stay here.
He will go faster alone.
Why did they stop Andres ?
- A secret document has disappeared from the laboratory.
He has responsiblity for it.
- That will be a blow for Miguel.
- Andres is a very good person.
It's really incomprehensible.
- They arrested my brother! - Keep quiet!
- They arrested Andres! - Miguel! Stay here !
- They arrested Andres! - Back to work !
I'll see what I can do. Lets go!
- Miguel!
Miguel! Miguel!
Come here! Do not be crazy!
- Miguel, do not worry.
They phoned. The police are come to question you.
- It's our fault, me and Jef. - Don't be a fool!
He is in shock.
He is distraught.
- I will tell the whole truth.
- What truth ? What do you know, Miguel ?
- Andres did not steal the document.
- Do you know who stole it ?
- Where are you going ? - I'm going back to work.
See if you can calm Miguel.
- I would like to talk to you, Teodore.
Ask for advice before the police arrive.
- If you want, young one.
Leave me alone with him.
- Yes, Teodore.
- All outside, please.
Marie, you too.
- Me too ? - Yes.
- Don't you trust us ?
- It will not be for long.
Miguel only wants me. Out you go.
We will not be long. Thank you. - Come on, Nina.
- You can speak without fear, we are alone.
- Last night, I went to the laboratory as expected...
I have told you everything.
- You we're right to do so.
Owning up weighs less on the conscience.
Since this document has not yet crossed the border,
let's find it before the arrival of the police.
If you hand over the document and tell the truth,
they will not be too severe.
That's just you, Miguel.
As for Jef... But where did he go ?
Quick, little one.
- Here comes Teodore.
- Jef is not here ?
- He returned to work, just now.
- He does not deserve to get away. We will search for him.
- Here's Poly.
He knows where Jef is.
- I'm going with Miguel. We are coming back soon.
You will make the police wait.
- Will do. - Come on, Miguel.
- Someone has been here before us.
Jef!
- Come get me if you can!
I found the microfilm. I prefer to throw it away.
You will not have it.
- Jef, come back! Do not be afraid of me.
Word of honour!
- Ha, ha! A thief's word!
- Do you believe my word ?
- Yes.
- Come back up with the microfilm.
We will not start trouble. Everything will work out.
- I'm coming, okay.
- Hello, gentlemen.
Miguel is absent for a moment. Wait for him here.
- No. We have to question him. Where is he ?
- What can I say... I do not know anything about it.
- Where is he ? - If you are hiding something,
it's dangerous for you. - I... He left here
with Teodore, an old man frm the countryside.
They went to the river. I know nothing.
Poly would find them again.
- It's better not to say anything.
- What do you know ?
- Us ? Nothing.
- If you children know something, then say so.
- If you are in a hurry to see Teodore, Miguel and Jef,
Poly will find them.
- Poly ?
- He is a little horse with an extraordinary instinct.
- Where is this wonder ?
- There.
- If he can find someone, let's see.
- He only just ran away. It's easy.
- Let's go.
- Come, Poly.
Lead us to them. - incredible.
- Hurry, otherwise he will leave you behind.
- We are alone.
Why are you looking everywhere ? You think maybe I lie ?
You have my word. Is this document here ? Give it to me!
- There.
I'v had enough of this country.
Farewell.
- Jef.
- Leave him. I was wrong about him.
He's not a good friend for you.
- Ohé!
They did not want to wait.
- All the better.
Hello, gentlemen. Miguel regrets his faults.
He had stolen the secret document.
Here.
The impotant microfilm is in this tube.
- Are you making fun of us ? It's empty.
- It was Jef who took the microfilm.
- Mr. Teodore, I'm arresting you
for complicity in this crime.
- He is innocent. I swear.
- You will explain yourself.
- We must catch Jef.
- If you have another accomplice, we'll find him.
Follow us. - Come on.
- He did not do anything.
- Leave him. - Stop!
- Let these gentlemen do their job. It's a misunderstanding.
Wait for me at home. I will be back soon.
- Poly! - Poly!
- Come, Poly.
- They're taking Teodore away. - And Miguel.
HEY HAVE TEODORE AND MIGUEL!
- They're taking Teodore away!
They're arresting Teodore and Miguel.
- But leave them.
It can not be them, let them go.
- No, do not take them away!
- Leave them! - Do not take them away!
Leave Teodore.
No no !
- Leave them.
- Come on, kids. Come home.
- Where is the mayor ? I have to see him.
He is there. What do you want ? He can do nothing for Teodore.
- Mr. Mayor, you have to help me find Mr Price from the circus.
Lisa and Stefano must come here.
- Come on my child, yes I'll help you.
- Mr. Price ? - Behind the marquee.
- Mr. Price ? - Yes.
- A telegram. - What can this be ?
Thank you.
What can it be ?
- Lisa!
Lisa...
Pack your suitcase quickly. The children are asking for you.
- What is it ? - I will explain to you.
I'm calling Stefano.
- Stefano ?
- Yes. You are going to visit Teodore.
Pack your suitcase.
