00:01:23 Hello?
00:01:29 Who is this... What do you want?
00:05:41 Don't leave your phone off the hook ever again.
00:05:44 How did you get my new number?!
00:05:51 I've had enough of you... DO YOU HEAR? ENOUGH!
00:05:56 Say "I won't hang up again".
00:06:01 I'm tired... My god you are sick.
00:06:06 You should get help, you know.
00:06:09 Say "I won't hang up again".
00:06:13 I... I won't hang up again.
00:06:16 Why did you change your number?
00:06:21 How did you find it... Hey?
00:06:27 It was noted down in your blue book, right next to your phone.
00:06:33 WHAT?!
00:06:37 You were in here, weren't you?!
00:06:39 It's a nice place you have, especially your bed.
00:06:43 it has a temperature of great precision...
00:06:44 I tried it, soft, supple, perfect for love...
00:06:49 A bed that must remind you of a lover,
00:06:50 and of your poor husband who is now dead! Right, Norah?
00:06:56 You were... a friend of Pierre, is that it?
00:07:01 No, nothing like that. But you can tell me about
00:07:06 NO!!!.

00:08:28 -Threatened?!
00:08:31 -Please do let ANYONE up!
00:08:35 But you know you can go up from the parking...
00:08:41 You should call the police.
00:08:43 I tried but there's no answer,
00:08:48 At night, you have to call the local station.
00:08:51 Let me give you the number.
00:08:53 Thank you... Go ahead.

00:13:32 He's not a boxer...
00:13:49 What's down there?
00:13:51 Nothing... Just a cellar.
00:13:54 Just bottles, old junk piling up just like
00:14:22 Don't shoot!
00:14:39 What the hell is this?
00:14:48 He didn't want to hurt you, boss.
00:14:50 He got scared.
00:14:53 -You're ok?
00:14:55 Let him go.
00:15:00 He didn't want to hurt you, boss.

00:15:16 How much does it cost?
00:15:19 30 fr. each, monthly.
00:15:22 He's really milking that cellar!
00:15:28 Knife.
00:15:42 Well, we owe you an apology.
00:15:44 You were right.
00:15:50 Quite your average cellar.
00:15:53 With old bottles, "things" piling up.
00:15:58 Nothing special.
00:16:01 Hey! Look at you! You're bleeding.
00:16:05 Well, I am!
00:16:08 Isn't that a knife wound?
00:16:12 Now that you mention it...
00:16:14 Who could have knifed you?
00:16:17 -There's no one in the cellar...
00:16:20 There's no one in the bistro.
00:16:25 Who could have done it?
00:16:32 What, are you crazy?!
00:16:34 Knifing a police office, isn't THAT crazy?
00:16:37 I didn't knife anyone!
00:16:39 And this?
00:16:41 That's not mine!
00:16:48 Yes, well your prints are on it now.
00:16:54 So... he's not an actor...
00:16:58 -He's not a boxer...
00:17:01 The bank hold-up at Niere, rings a bell?
00:19:26 I'll give you 5 seconds... You hear?
00:19:29 5 seconds.
00:19:32 You knifed my partner.
00:19:36 I gun you down.
00:19:39 Self-Defense.
00:19:45 It's Marcucci!
00:19:47 He was here a month ago.
00:19:49 Haven't seen him since, I swear!
00:19:56 -If Marcucci ever comes back...
00:20:03 Just don't wait too long.
00:20:08 If you want this to heal.
00:20:23 "Z-2 calling AV-108"
00:20:30 "Z-2 calling AV-108"
00:20:33 AV-108, Roger.
00:20:34 Where the hell were you? I've been calling for an hour!
00:20:37 We stopped for peanuts.
00:21:15 17 floors.
00:21:17 She called her local police station,
00:21:21 She was worried someone was coming...
00:21:24 Who? A man, a woman?
00:22:21 Good evening, chief.
00:22:22 Bertrand: identification dept.
00:22:28 When you rang, you didn't hear any screams
00:22:32 I heard her scream, nothing else.
00:22:35 A woman screams for help during the night
00:22:37 And you calmly spend the evening with your friends?
00:22:40 She didn't "scream for help", she just screamed.
00:22:44 It's the first time I come here
00:22:47 -I see.
00:22:51 I asked the neighbors, they didn't hear anything.
00:22:54 But there was lots of noise, a birthday party.
00:22:57 -You knew the victim?
00:23:01 According to the watchman she was very discreet.
00:23:05 Call up the local police station for me.
00:23:07 You're the watchman?
00:23:09 Eugene Merclin, 45, single.
00:23:12 At what time did Mrs Elmer come in tonight?
00:23:14 I was watching the news... It must have been 8pm.
00:23:18 Yes, about 8pm.
00:23:21 And how was she?
00:23:24 I think she had nylon pants.
00:23:29 That looked like jeans.
00:23:31 That's not what we're asking you, buddy.
00:23:33 Was she troubled, worried, anxious?
00:23:35 Oh, sorry. Not more than usual.
00:23:38 She'd just lost her husband in a car accident!
00:23:42 -Is that him?
00:23:45 WAS Mr Elmer.
00:23:48 She lived on her own since?
00:23:51 Even before! He was always away on business trips.
00:23:54 And who's that?
00:23:59 I don't know... Seems familiar but...
00:24:04 Ah! I think I saw him in the building.
00:24:07 She had many visitors?
00:24:10 How should I know, there's 48 floors on this fucking tower!
00:24:14 Show these fucking gentlemen to the fucking door,
00:24:16 Well send them a fucking subpoena.
00:24:25 Letellier, criminal investigations.
00:24:26 Did you get a call from a "Norah Elmer"?
00:24:29 Indeed, she complained about a "phone maniac".
00:24:32 -Did you send someone over?
00:24:36 -This time you should have
00:24:39 Because she won't bother you anymore.
00:24:43 I'm going through her mail.
00:24:46 Condolences from friends, co-workers, relatives.
00:24:54 But here, we have something else.
00:24:56 My darling, I know this will upset you
00:25:02 Forgive me, safekeep my memory, my heart is bleeding,
00:25:07 Signed: Julio Cortes.
00:25:13 You must see a lot of action with all these towers.
00:25:15 -People must drop like flies.
00:25:19 What a nice job we have, people jump, we pick 'em up.
00:25:24 Nice, isn't it?
00:25:26 -You know what I'd like to do?
00:25:29 I want to jump too.
00:25:31 You'll tell people that passionate about this case,
00:25:34 I tried a live simulation.
00:25:39 Something the matter with him?
00:25:42 Marcucci.
00:25:44 Inspector Letellier... But of Course!
00:25:46 A civilian shot after that bank robbery...
00:25:51 That's him.
00:25:53 But, wasn't he exonerated of all charges,
00:25:54 After they discovered it was one of Marcucci's bullet
00:25:58 Yeah, but Marcucci is still on the run.
00:26:03 Find me the address of this Julio Cortes,
00:26:08 So anxious to leave the country.
00:26:28 Police! Open up!
00:28:25 'You ok?
00:28:26 Yes, fine.
00:28:31 He really does have a bleeding heart!
00:28:38 Call for an ambulance!
00:28:39 What did you say?
00:28:41 -I didn't say anything
00:28:47 Thank you.
00:28:55 About time we get to take a break!
00:28:59 Can't you see I'm bleeding to death?
00:29:03 -What did he say?
00:29:08 Tell him I don't care.
00:29:10 He doesn't care.
00:29:12 Call an... ambulance.... God...
00:29:16 Why did you shoot?
00:29:24 Talk first, then we call the ambulance.
00:29:27 And if I die... you'll be responsible.
00:29:32 You think we can get over the remorse?
00:29:34 Won't be easy.
00:29:38 Let him die and see how we survive the shock.
00:29:46 Come back!
00:29:49 You called us?
00:29:52 The suitcase.
00:29:55 Hidden compartment.
00:30:40 The ambulance...
00:30:43 Hurry...
00:30:53 Norah Elmer, rings a bell?
00:30:54 What?
00:30:58 My darling, I know this will upset you but I must leave France..
00:31:02 You never intended to call an ambulance, just wanted to kill me...
00:31:06 What was that?
00:31:08 I gave you the drugs, I'm dying and you're reading me love letters!
00:31:14 Go away.
00:31:16 She's dead.
00:31:21 Norah?
00:31:26 -YOU killed her!
00:31:31 Tell us the truth and you're in a hospital in 5 minutes.
00:31:34 Why would have I killed Norah?
00:31:43 I think we can forget it, call him an ambulance.
00:31:57 Hello? This is inspector chief Letellier.
00:32:01 Yeah, send me a... hold on for a second.
00:32:08 Say, while were at it, who supplied you with dope?
00:32:14 Oh, shit...
00:32:17 I would get a phone call, then deal at a bar called
00:32:22 It was never the same guy.
00:32:24 Well there you go!
00:32:36 What's going on, are we closed today?
00:32:39 Where could they be?
00:32:59 We're not bothering you, are we?
00:33:03 Happy birthday, boss!
00:33:07 No way...
00:33:09 He came back?
00:33:10 Your new source, the "peanut salesman", just called
00:33:15 To Paris.
00:33:29 Here, give me another shot.
00:33:40 Aside from that, we got the pathologist report
00:33:45 She might have died before hitting the ground.
00:33:47 The doctor noted cardiac fibrillation.
00:33:51 They can be caused by intense fear, a provoke a heart attack.
00:33:56 We close the case?
00:33:58 Moissac, I want a 3 men stakeout in front of "Peanut's" bistro,
00:34:01 -Day and night, understood?
00:34:03 What about Norah Elmer, chief?
00:34:05 If Marcucci shows up, don't touch him, call me.
00:34:11 Thanks for the champagne.
00:34:14 And he wanted to get sparkling wine, that idiot!
00:34:22 Inspector Letellier? He's busy at the moment,
00:34:27 I want to speak with Inspector chief Letellier,
00:34:36 Inspector Letellier speaking.
00:34:40 Justice is done. Last night, Norah Elmer paid
00:34:45 She was a despicable whore who tarnished even the most
00:34:50 From now on, I will be the arm of a justice that
00:34:54 all the harlots that will flood the world
00:34:59 Who are you?
00:35:00 "I'll tell you inspector..."
00:35:02 Allow me to hang up first, in case you
00:35:06 Shit!
00:35:12 What the hell was that?
00:35:27 Chief Inspector Letellier, go ahead.
00:35:29 Have you read Dante's inferno, Inspector?
00:35:33 Well, I am "Minos", after each of my sentencing,
00:35:38 A double will be sent to the press with the name
00:35:45 You will assemble them like a puzzle to one day
00:35:53 But until then, the world will tremble!
00:35:57 Chief...
00:36:18 "I kiLleD NoraH ElmeR - Minos"
00:36:24 "I killed Norah Elmer...
00:36:26 Or so says an anonymous correspondent in a letter signed Minos.
00:36:38 It's not the first time a lunatic claims
00:36:42 And that write to newspapers and call, aren't
00:36:51 As for Norah Elmer, nothing proves its a murder.
00:37:02 Well, not much to worry about.
00:37:08 Letellier!
00:37:12 You've studied Karate, haven't you?
00:37:15 Yes?
00:37:17 Judo too?
00:37:19 Yes?
00:37:21 What about rapid fire exercises?
00:37:24 Hold it right there, they gave me that speech in the army...
00:37:26 "Speak English? Yes? Toilet Cleaning!"
00:37:29 I want the list of every women that requested a
00:37:33 And also the reason why they asked for that change.
00:37:38 Sorry to have cut off your ending, sir.
00:37:41 Letellier.
00:37:44 You can't imagine how many cases were cracked
00:37:56 "Minos, "Dante's Inferno"... Insane Asylum is more like it!
00:38:31 First, I hear him breath, a sort of huffing, rasping...
00:38:38 -And does he talk?
00:38:42 At first I hung up but he just calls back,
00:38:44 of night emergencies, but he calls at any hour.
00:38:48 I can't sleep... It can't go on like this!
00:38:53 -Hey, Pierre!
00:38:56 They're policemen, they're here about the calls.
00:38:59 I see, well excellent.
00:39:02 Listen, you have to do something, she's
00:39:07 We'll put a tap on her, that's all we can do for now.
00:39:21 What the hell is that, yours?
00:39:24 No.
00:39:25 Open it.
00:39:27 I liked this car. Got used to it.
00:39:30 -Hun?
00:39:38 "Dante's Inferno"
00:39:40 Your buddy's starting to get on my nerves.
00:39:42 As a matter of fact this whole case is.
00:39:44 780 requests for phone number changes, 260 women.
00:39:48 We saw 7 this morning and I
00:39:51 -Don't read when I talk to you.
00:39:53 The lady who's number closely matches that of the taxi central,
00:39:58 The call-girl who changed profession,
00:40:04 The nurse, woken up every night by a maniac.
00:40:08 All of little interest. Will you stop reading?!
00:40:12 Listen: "Minos is the terrible voice
00:40:15 Of a judging consciousness which sentences vile acts".
00:40:21 -Doesn't this guy worry you?
00:40:25 He's pulling our leg and I don't have time to waste.
00:40:27 So, the next one's name is Germaine Doizon,
00:40:29 and there's no reason we should both get bored,
00:40:30 So we'll flip a coin on it.
00:40:34 Face I go, tail you go.
00:40:38 No need to, I'll lose...
00:40:50 Who is it?
00:40:51 Police.
00:40:53 Police?
00:40:58 Ah yes! Just a minute.
00:41:04 Inspector... Please won't you come in?
00:41:12 Tell me about those calls you're getting?
00:41:16 Say, we must have flipped thousands of coins together.
00:41:21 -You never one.
00:41:25 -You threw it yesterday.
00:41:28 You're screwed.
00:41:31 You're the one that's married.
00:41:33 Then shit.
00:41:36 come on, lean back, maybe that Germaine Doizon
00:41:48 My husband was a jeweler, he has a gun permit.
00:41:52 Loaded?
00:41:54 Of course!
00:41:55 That scumbag often threatens to come, I'm waiting for him!
00:41:58 I wanted to tell you... Cigarette?
00:42:00 No thanks.
00:42:04 Why "scumbag"?
00:42:06 You're right, I should say that sicko!
00:42:09 Probably just acting on impulse.
00:42:12 But he's making my life so miserable
00:42:17 Something to drink, inspector?
00:42:21 -A cup of coffee
00:42:24 You're sure?
00:42:26 Why a "sicko"?
00:42:28 Well... He's obviously not a normal person!
00:42:34 You don't think it's normal to stigmatize
00:42:38 What?
00:42:40 It's easier to call him a madman, isn't it?
00:42:42 It allows us to close our eyes on ourselves
00:42:47 I'm afraid I don't follow you at all.
00:42:51 I was just trying to understand him. a sensible
00:42:57 There's no understanding that one, he's just insane!
00:43:01 -And probably impotent.
00:43:03 To say all those nasty things... He must
00:43:08 Oh yes, surely impotent.
00:43:12 And how do you picture him? From his voice?
00:43:17 I can't imagine him with a normal face, like yours or mine.
00:43:23 Or even a body, it's...
00:43:26 not a monster either, but rather something
00:43:31 I must admit I'm half asleep when he calls me,
00:43:36 And when he starts about my private life,
00:43:44 And of course, your private life is spotless.
00:43:48 Absolutely! I do sleep around, inspector.
00:43:53 I've been a window for 5 years and I'm perfectly
00:43:57 Pardon my frankness, but I fuck around and
00:44:03 I will take that coffee after all...
00:44:05 Sure, right away.
00:44:07 You drink it strong?
00:44:10 As a matter of fact, we have a good idea
00:44:14 Really?
00:44:19 He's not a heinous caterpillar.
00:44:21 He's rather good looking, enough to arouse
00:44:28 And strong enough, not to give in to her!
00:44:50 TV-105 calling TV-108, we're at "peanut's" bistro,
00:44:56 Don't leave the car, even to stretch your legs
00:44:59 If Marcucci spots you, you're both back
00:45:03 Roger.
00:45:05 I don't need the car. Take it,
00:45:09 You sure?
00:45:11 Sure, I'll take the bus.
00:45:14 They're already 3 sitting on the place.
00:45:23 You have a smoke?
00:45:28 No, all done.
00:45:30 Say, this thing's gibberish!
00:45:34 Yep, tough to read!
00:45:37 If that wacko read the whole thing,
00:45:40 Well, I'll see Germaine...
00:45:45 Have a good one!
00:45:47 You're getting high-brow...
00:45:49 I'll go with you.
00:45:51 So SMILE.
00:45:56 -I'll catch up
00:46:31 -Damn
00:46:33 Surely not! She just asked me to get her
00:46:36 -You're the concierge?
00:46:38 -You got a double key?
00:46:40 -Then go get it.
00:46:42 Police.
00:46:50 What's your name, hun?
00:46:53 I know, Cat.
00:46:56 Or Alley.
00:46:58 You're not that cute.
00:47:01 Not cute, but nice.
00:47:02 Oh and you purr!
00:47:05 You're happy?
00:47:47 Oh! Oh my God...
00:48:00 lock the building's entrance!
00:51:09 Don't worry, we'll pay for it.
00:57:24 Duviel just called, Marcucci is at Peanut's.
00:57:28 When did he call?
00:57:34 TV-108, go ahead.
00:57:36 We're on Marcucci's tail, chief.
00:57:38 We are on the West highway near the Thai exit.
00:57:42 He's in a thunderbird, license plate 7199MB75.
00:57:47 -Duviel, if you lose him...
00:58:03 We're catching up!
00:58:31 Duviel, what's happening?
00:58:34 I just ran a red light. But Marcucci didn't spot me.
00:58:37 At least I hope so.
00:58:38 We just took the Muette exit.
00:58:55 We're now at Henri Martin st. Corner of La Pompe.
00:59:00 Heading for the Trocadero.
01:00:09 We're taking Clevere, heading for L'etoile.
01:00:12 What should I do, chief?
01:00:15 Chief? What do i do?!
01:00:17 What the hell is he doing?!
01:00:20 TV-105 calling TV-108, what should I do, chief?
01:00:27 I'm dropping Minos, I'm on my way!
01:00:39 I suppose you know what you're doing?
01:00:41 Shut up.
01:00:55 He coming to the roundabout.
01:01:08 Duviel, I'm at the roundabout, I'll cut him
01:01:18 I think he spotted me! He just took the side alley.
01:01:31 He's cutting through Les Champs Elysees,
01:01:36 I'm through, chief, stuck in traffic.
01:01:46 There! That's him!
01:01:48 Duviel, forget it, I got him.
01:04:34 Police! I just want to take a look.
01:04:44 Which line in that one bottom right?
01:04:47 Nation, by Denfer.
01:05:49 This is commend center calling Nation 603, come in.
01:05:57 This is Nation 603, over.
01:06:01 Do not make any other stops. Keep rolling
01:06:07 The preceding train is 6 minutes ahead of you.
01:06:13 Roger, command center. Over and out.
01:07:24 Nation 603, you are now 5 minutes from the preceding train.
01:08:51 Please stop!
01:09:06 For the first time in criminal history, a man accuses the
01:09:11 In a letter sent to our newspaper,
01:09:13 Minos, the strangler of single women, claims:
01:09:18 when he abandoned pursuit."
01:09:19 And in the Figaro: "Minos snitches on the police."
01:09:23 "If I kill again tomorrow, police chief Letellier
01:09:29 "Trigger-happy cops prefers to settle
01:09:34 "Between Minos the strangler and Marcucci the thief,
01:09:38 Etc, etc.
01:09:53 I spent the morning listing to the Minos
01:09:57 So?
01:10:00 According to him, we are dealing with a
01:10:03 -Aie!
01:10:08 Between 2 attacks, we are looking at an average man,
01:10:12 lost in a crowd.
01:10:15 And this man, who is probably well-regarded
01:10:19 Suddenly becomes a bloodthirsty madman
01:10:21 Condemning all those who do not share his morals.
01:10:26 Minos, it's a great case.
01:10:28 Any cop would beg for it.
01:10:33 Not I.
01:10:36 Marcucci, I would have eventually caught in 5 or 10 years,
01:10:41 But that schizo-thing with paranoid tendencies,
01:10:46 I don't measure up. And so, Mr Commissioner,
01:10:53 There.
01:10:56 Letellier!
01:11:00 Aren't you going a little far?
01:11:03 There's no-brainer and there's no-brain, all muscle.
01:11:07 What ARE muscles, really?
01:11:09 A few grams of hard gelatin conveniently placed.
01:11:14 Sometimes useful to keep cops alive.
01:11:16 Letellier you are the criminal brigade's chief,
01:11:21 That you prefer westerns to psychology
01:11:25 But we don't always do what we want.
01:11:28 Minos snitched on you, Letellier,
01:11:31 He got you good!
01:11:33 And you have a score to settle with HIM now.
01:11:35 The schizo-thing with paranoid tendencies,
01:11:40 And if you don't try to pull out,
01:11:46 Pardon me, Mr director.
01:11:50 Am I excused?
01:11:56 Take this to the lab.
01:11:58 Spend the night if necessary,
01:12:02 Alright.
01:12:05 Where did you pick that up?
01:12:07 On a roof, Minos dropped it and it broke.
01:13:21 Are you gonna jump like that all night?
01:13:25 We've been together 2 nights and every time
01:13:30 You should be used to it!
01:13:31 -Don't take that glass.
01:13:34 It's chipped.
01:13:35 If it's chipped, why do you keep it?
01:13:41 I wouldn't keep it.
01:13:48 Please don't jump now, It's just me!
01:13:55 You should get to bed.
01:13:58 No.
01:14:00 Stop shaking you head! You've been
01:14:16 Helene?
01:14:17 Yes?
01:14:18 Am I waking you up?
01:14:19 No, I'm with a policeman, for the reason you know.
01:14:24 And?
01:14:26 Still nothing.
01:14:28 I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight.
01:14:30 Goodnight.
01:14:45 Tell that clown not to call anymore at night.
01:14:47 He calls because he worries about me.
01:14:50 And he's not a clown!
01:14:51 I know!
01:14:53 He's head nurse, married, father of 2.
01:14:55 Sorry if you wanted to keep that liaison a secret.
01:14:58 but you're on a tap, we verify every call.
01:15:02 And I read the newspapers every morning.
01:15:04 They've dragged your name in mud for days,
01:15:09 Between the nighttime emergencies and Minos,
01:15:12 Well, go to bed!
01:15:14 -I'm not asking you to stay.
01:15:17 You got here at an ungodly hour,
01:15:23 Do-not-scream!
01:15:25 Leave.
01:15:35 Oh my God, Pierre!
01:15:37 You forgot, didn't you?
01:15:39 Was it tonight?
01:15:40 It was.
01:15:42 You know commissioner Letellier?
01:15:44 Yes...
01:15:45 We met at the hospital.
01:15:47 Goodnight, commissioner!
01:15:49 Goodnight.
01:15:51 You wanted me to get the police involved, well
01:15:55 It's much better this way, we'll go to the
01:15:59 Goodnight, Helene, see you tomorrow.
01:16:01 Goodnight, Pierre.
01:16:03 -Goodbye, commissioner!
01:16:05 Goodbye...
01:16:15 "The gangbuster commissioner acts like a
01:16:20 If I had caught Marcucci last year I
01:16:33 Principal chief at the gangbuster unit.
01:16:36 Stuck behind a phone waiting for a loonie's call...
01:16:40 Jesus Christ.
01:16:43 And, how I imagined being a cop would be when I was a kid!
01:16:47 Yes?
01:16:49 Yes...
01:16:51 And how did you imagine it?
01:16:53 On the whole police thing.
01:16:58 One thing had hit me.
01:17:00 An image.
01:17:03 American G-Men escorting presidential cars.
01:17:06 Walking with their hands on the hood,
01:17:09 guiding the car's path,
01:17:12 with a piercing gaze!
01:17:15 They were looking for a guy on the roofs,
01:17:17 Or ambushed behind a window.
01:17:24 I was just a kid.
01:17:26 And when I saw those guys...
01:17:29 Those "G-Men",
01:17:31 I would say "THAT's a cop"!
01:17:39 I don't think I've ever told that to anyone.
01:17:42 -Fortunately!
01:17:45 It's fortunate you never told that story to anyone.
01:17:49 Why?
01:17:51 Because it's pathetic.
01:17:53 What does that mean?
01:17:55 It means that Commissioner Letellier's
01:18:00 Excuse me for finding it incredibly stupid!
01:18:04 I expected as much from the newspapers I read:
01:18:08 I expected an idiot.
01:18:12 But to that extent!
01:18:14 The mindset of a 12 y old, even my
01:18:17 I might not be very evolved, but neither are you.
01:18:20 You read the newspapers, I listened to your calls.
01:18:24 Your soap opera affair with that doctor... How smart is that.
01:18:27 She loves him, but he's married with two kids.
01:18:32 Stay tuned!
01:18:34 Him: "Hello, darling, I'm sorry I can't see you"
01:18:40 "an unannounced visit from a foreign colleague"
01:18:46 Him: "You know there's nothing between my wife and I
01:18:49 Her: "Then why don't you divorce her!".
01:18:51 Him: "The kids wouldn't understand, my love".
01:18:55 Me: I might play the cow-boy, but I'm not playing
01:19:11 Happy?
01:19:14 Tired.
01:19:20 Take off your shirt.
01:19:23 Excuse me?
01:19:25 Go on, take it off and come over here.
01:19:33 I do physiotherapy, you seriously need some.
01:19:37 Come lie down.
01:20:06 Good?
01:20:07 Fantastic!
01:20:17 You know when I said you weren't smart,
01:20:26 And when I called you an idiot...
01:20:29 I meant it.
01:20:45 Hello?
01:20:46 Who's this?
01:20:48 "You know very well, Helene"
01:20:51 "You saw your lover again, haven't you?"
01:20:53 "You saw him, say it!"
01:20:57 I'm free to do whatever I want!
01:21:01 "You have the LEGAL right, the church chooses
01:21:07 "but my justice, for there must be one, has
01:21:15 Keep going!
01:21:16 When you called, I was about to make love to a man.
01:21:21 With a real man's body, and real man's hands.
01:21:26 You probably don't know what making love is, Minos,
01:21:31 He was close to me, almost naked.
01:21:33 We were having a great time.
01:21:35 "Whore! Bitch! You're tracing my call!"
01:21:44 You shouldn't have provoked him like that.
01:21:48 You're the one I was provoking.
01:21:50 He won't be happy!
01:21:54 Not happy at all!
01:21:57 -Hello?
01:21:59 Yes?
01:22:00 This is Trinity hospital.
01:22:02 We have an emergency. We need you
01:22:07 On my way.
01:22:11 I'll go with you.
01:22:14 Someone should let Minos know that it's becoming really
01:22:45 Bye, cowboy.
01:22:47 Idiotic and retarded cowboy, of course.
01:22:49 I don't know.
01:22:51 But I can assure you if you had Einstein's
01:22:57 How old did you say you brother is?
01:22:58 9.
01:22:59 Well I'm still going to try to catch up.
01:23:02 Oh, if you must stay home for a while, I'll buy you a razor.
01:23:07 Electric!
01:23:08 With a brush and very foamy soap!
01:23:55 Oh, it's you Pierre!
01:23:57 Well, well, we DID end up together tonight...
01:24:05 You made love to Letellier?
01:24:10 Well now, Pierre...
01:24:15 A man's body... A man's hands...
01:24:56 "I killed HeleNe GrAmmOnt. -Minos"
01:25:12 You got Minos' voice recordings?
01:25:13 Yes chief.
01:25:17 I want to listen to them in a studio, with a
01:25:21 The best of it's kind.
01:25:24 "I will be the arm of a justice that will judge
01:25:30 "all the harlots that will flood the world of their sexual mud!"
01:25:37 Again?
01:25:38 No, the other one.
01:25:46 "Hello? Who's this?"
01:25:49 "You know very well, Helene"
01:25:52 "You saw your lover again, haven't you?"
01:25:56 "You saw him, say it!"
01:25:58 "I'm free to do whatever I want!"
01:26:02 "You have the LEGAL right, the church chooses
01:26:08 "but my justice, for there must be one, has
01:26:18 "When you called, I was about to make love to a man."
01:26:20 "With a real man's body, and real man's hands."
01:26:22 "You probably don't know what making love is, Minos,
01:26:27 "He was close to me, almost naked."
01:26:30 "We were having a great time."
01:26:32 Go back to Minos.
01:26:40 "You know very well, Helene"
01:26:43 "You saw your lover again, haven't you?"
01:26:47 "You saw him, say it!"
01:26:49 "I'm free to do whatever I want!"
01:26:52 "You have the LEGAL right, the church chooses
01:26:59 "but my justice..."
01:27:00 You know this melody?
01:27:05 Yeah, I have it!
01:27:35 Hello? Yes?
01:27:37 Yes. Mr Moissac?
01:27:39 Yes.
01:27:39 Thanks.
01:27:41 Moissac, here.
01:27:46 In your archives, you have sound effects?
01:27:49 Yes, of course!
01:27:51 Here's the list.
01:27:56 Weak applause, average applause, strong applause...
01:28:00 THAT!
01:28:02 Ok.
01:28:04 Yes, thanks, see you later.
01:28:08 Minos called you, right after you left.
01:28:11 And the recording?
01:28:12 It should be here any moment.
01:28:14 Good.
01:29:01 He always calls from the same phone booth.
01:29:04 And that phone booth is in or near a fair.
01:29:14 Chief, the recording.
01:29:16 Put it on!
01:29:17 I want to know how many fairs there are in Paris and its suburbs.
01:29:22 Yes, now.
01:29:24 Thanks, I'll wait.
01:29:26 "Hello? Give me commissioner Letellier."
01:29:29 "From whom?"
01:29:31 "Tell him it's from Minos!"
01:29:33 "Commissioner Letellier is not in his office, can you hold?"
01:29:36 Thanks.
01:29:37 "I'll see if..."
01:29:38 "Tell him I will call back at 10 o' clock sharp."
01:29:41 "He better be there. What I will announce is of prime importance!"
01:29:46 There are 187 fairs in Paris and its suburbs.
01:29:50 It would take the french army to watch it all.
01:29:53 Play the end again.
01:29:57 "Tell him I will call back at 10 o' clock sharp."
01:30:01 "He better be there. What I will announce is of prime importance!"
01:30:08 No background noise on that tape.
01:30:11 Either he switched phone booths, or the fair just left.
01:30:15 Of your 187 fairs,
01:30:17 Which one moved this morning?
01:30:22 We have 3 min. to reach d'enfer, it's too short.
01:30:24 Try to hold him on the phone.
01:30:26 "Roger"
01:30:26 And contact the local division, they could be there before us.
01:30:29 If we're not there on time, arrest him.
01:30:31 "Roger that"
01:30:37 "Chief, we have Minos on the phone!"
01:30:39 Tell him anything, shit! Tell him you're looking for
01:30:53 Duvielle, is the car there?
01:30:56 Not yet, the division is far from the phone booth.
01:30:58 They're on their way.
01:31:01 We won't catch him.
01:31:09 "He just hung up, chief"
01:31:10 Shit!
01:31:18 "The car's there. They just arrested a guy coming out of the phone booth!"
01:31:22 Tell them we're on our way!
01:32:03 Asshole cops! Fucking bastards!
01:32:12 "Julien Dallas", science teacher.
01:32:14 3 citations for public disturbances.
01:32:18 Charges dropped.
01:32:20 Well, let's start again.
01:32:22 Who were you calling at 10 am from the
01:32:29 Fuck you.
01:32:37 "Nora Elmer", rings a bell?
01:32:41 Fuck you.
01:32:44 And "Germaine Doizon"?
01:32:49 FUCK YOU.
01:32:50 Say, for a science teacher, his vocabulary is quite limited!
01:32:57 Using a phone booth isn't a crime.
01:33:00 And I have nothing to say to asshole cops.
01:33:03 That's it, push my face in, beat me up!
01:33:07 Fucking... shit!
01:33:13 God damnit!
01:33:26 Ok, listen up.
01:33:29 I don't have time to play riot police vs student with you.
01:33:33 I'll drop my baton. Drop your brick, and let's talk.
01:33:37 Ok?
01:33:40 I've got 3 murders on my hands, with a 4th one on the way.
01:33:45 We've got a loony on the loose in Paris, killing.
01:33:49 And if you don't tell me WHO you were calling at 10 am,
01:33:52 I'll think it's you.
01:33:55 Don't you think that if ever there was a time you
01:34:06 I'll think about it.
01:34:09 That's it, think.
01:34:11 Duvielle, take him outside.
01:34:16 How's the mail?
01:34:17 We've gone through 742 letters so far.
01:34:20 27 married women suspect their husbands of being Minos.
01:34:23 48 abandoned mistresses accuse their old lovers.
01:34:26 We verified all leads.
01:34:27 On my part I have 75 pretending to be Minos himself.
01:34:32 Chief, I have a Pierre Valdeck, friend of Helene Grammont, to see you.
01:34:36 You want him to wait?
01:34:37 No, I'll see him.
01:34:43 Have a seat, Mr Valdeck
01:34:44 Thank you.
01:34:49 I didn't want to bother you personally, Commissioner.
01:34:52 You must be very busy with everything that's going on.
01:34:57 She was a great girl, you know.
01:35:01 I'm in total shock.
01:35:04 We knew she was threatened, we couldn't do anything.
01:35:08 Neither her friends, nor the police.
01:35:11 It's horrible.
01:35:17 No thanks.
01:35:18 Yes, thanks.
01:35:22 I thought of many things.
01:35:24 Why her?
01:35:26 Who could hate her?
01:35:28 For what reasons?
01:35:31 When I suddenly had an idea.
01:35:33 Maybe it's completely foolish,
01:35:35 But I thought about what linked all those murders.
01:35:38 And I suddenly realized that it all centers around the hospital.
01:35:44 Helene Grammont worked there,
01:35:47 Germaine Dozion... or Doizon, I don't remember her name,
01:35:51 Germaine Doizon.
01:35:52 Ah yes.
01:35:53 Sorry.
01:35:56 Thanks.
01:35:57 Well, she was operated in that same hospital.
01:36:01 And if I remember, Nora Elmer's husband was brought to us too,
01:36:05 After his car accident.
01:36:13 It might mean nothing.
01:36:16 Mr Valdeck if you ever need work come to see us,
01:36:21 Sorry for taking your time, Mr commissioner.
01:36:26 Thank you, goodbye
01:36:28 Goodbye, sir.
01:36:30 Come in!
01:36:31 Good day, commissioner.
01:36:33 The fragments you picked up on the rooftop,
01:36:36 They come from a glass eye.
01:36:38 Certain?
01:36:40 We've been on it for 2 days, no doubt about it!
01:36:43 Thanks.
01:36:52 So, Mr Dallas?
01:36:55 Alright, I'll tell you who I was calling.
01:37:01 No need to.
01:37:03 I'm free?
01:37:04 Yes.
01:37:04 Why?
01:37:08 Cause you got pretty eyes.
01:37:19 And Minos doesn't know that we know he has a glass eye.
01:37:31 Hold your lighter the way you did when you offered it to Valdeck!
01:37:35 What did you do after?
01:37:36 I brought it closer to light his...
01:37:44 Good God!
01:38:02 Jean, look.
01:38:04 What date?
01:38:06 Today.
01:38:07 Find which letters are missing, it's the name of the next victim.
01:39:32 I think it must be that one.
01:39:49 Stop searching, I found it.
01:39:51 Pamela Sweet, 25th floor.
01:39:54 "Yes?"
01:39:56 Mrs Pamela Sweet?
01:39:58 "Yes, who is it?"
01:39:59 Police, ma'am.
01:40:04 Hello? Hello?!
01:40:05 "Listen good, Letellier!"
01:40:08 I have enough explosive to blow up the whole block!
01:40:10 "At your first action I will kill the whore, her pimp,
01:40:18 Valdeck... what is it you want?
01:40:23 I'll tell you later...
01:40:25 I have to think.
01:40:32 Go in the back.
01:40:43 Get in the next room.
01:40:45 Don't be afraid darling.
01:40:46 It's nothing.
01:41:34 "Police has just surrounded the building..."
01:41:37 We just arrived at the building where Pierre Valdeck is hiding.
01:41:40 After throwing that grenade at the movie theater
01:41:49 You two, there. Evacuate the whole building!
01:41:52 Moissac, with me.
01:42:56 Greetings, Letellier.
01:42:57 Mr Prefect.
01:42:58 -Where you able to talk to him?
01:43:00 So, what does he want?
01:43:02 He says he wants to think.
01:43:26 "Julien Remy, Europe-1. Nothing new since our last report."
01:43:29 "Everyone's gaze here is fixed on the 2 lit windows of Pamela Sweet"
01:43:33 "And in the thick darkness falling on this tower,"
01:43:35 "Those lights represent a hope for life".
01:43:49 For the 4 hostages, a horrible night begins.
01:43:51 Also a night of patience for all the police forces present here.
01:43:54 Right now I see the Gendarmerie's Chief of staff coming in,
01:44:01 Col. Dupre who will join commissioner Sabba, and chief commissioner
01:44:11 That's all I can tell you for now, back in studio!
01:44:15 "The images you are seeing now are live from Pamela Sweet's tower.
01:44:20 "Hundreds of onlookers watch the police's every move."
01:44:25 "On the roof, I can see the snipers, members of the
01:44:28 "of which commissioner Letellier was part not long ago."
01:44:31 "Led tonight by commissioner Bonselet."
01:44:33 "Is it the start of an operation? That's what we all wonder."
01:44:36 "Because on the police side, no one is talking."
01:44:39 "We'll return live as soon as we have news..."
01:44:41 Letellier!
01:44:56 Letellier, here.
01:44:58 Get your snipers down, immediately!
01:45:00 If they're not down in 30 sec I kill the hostages!
01:45:03 Valdeck, calm down.
01:45:06 I didn't send anyone on the roofs, I promised we'd take it easy.
01:45:09 "I'll take care of it".
01:45:12 Once you've corrected your mistake, I'll give you my conditions.
01:45:33 Evacuate the roofs, now!
01:45:35 What's going on?
01:45:35 And you guys, no initiative, understood? Wait for my orders.
01:45:39 Everyone get down, wait in the cars.
01:45:46 Moissac! The the press, the TV, the radio out!
01:45:59 He's watching our every move on TV.
01:46:01 "The police is evacuating all the media,
01:46:09 "We don't know if it means a step forward in the negotiation process."
01:46:13 "Well call you back once we get more on this, back in studio!"
01:46:17 Thank you, Patrick Picard.
01:46:19 We are happy to welcome professor Jacques Hepstein,
01:46:22 Specialist in mental illness at the Paris faculty,
01:46:24 and who has agreed to talk to us about the Minos case.
01:46:29 So, the question on everyone's lips, professor.
01:46:32 Can we negotiate with a psychopath such as Minos,
01:46:36 and if so, will he hold his promises.
01:46:40 You can always negotiate...
01:46:44 But it's difficult to predict the actions of a
01:46:50 To clarify, I propose a document, professor,
01:46:54 A recording we made earlier of Mrs. Valdeck, Minos' mother,
01:46:58 who owns a small restaurant called "le relais du nord", in Ardenne.
01:47:01 And here she is.
01:47:05 "I don't understand..."
01:47:06 "I'm shocked..."
01:47:08 "He was such a nice, gentle child."
01:47:12 "He only gave us pleasant moments."
01:47:16 "As a matter of fact, we made sure he never had bad company or reading."
01:47:22 "Our little Pierre still asked us permission to go out at 18!"
01:47:30 "I don't understand what happened!"
01:47:32 "I don't understand!"
01:47:39 There, you just heard an excerpt of Minos mother's interview.
01:47:45 Professor Hepstein, you wrote a book called
01:47:51 The same society you accuse of creating a multitude of
01:47:58 You know, it was Freud who first said that
01:48:04 Only, since they don't all carry bombs, we don't notice them!
01:48:10 In view of the barricades which modern society erects
01:48:17 "Some individuals will escape into neurosis."
01:48:21 "I wouldn't be surprised if Valdeck was one of those neurotics."
01:48:25 But these so called anti-sexual barricades, don't you
01:48:33 Yes, of course, provided you are the right age.
01:48:37 An official age, for the law,
01:48:40 A so called "moral age" for decency.
01:48:42 But the sexual appetite starts much earlier.
01:48:47 Take Minos, for example, he must have been a healthy child.
01:48:53 He is 12. His sexual organs have reached full maturity.
01:49:01 It is then that we barricade them with such notions as:
01:49:07 Indecency, shame, sin, culpability, moral, hell, etc etc
01:49:18 These are notions we invent and use to repress him sexually.
01:49:24 The child is then thrown into the great distress called "Puberty"!
01:49:31 Distress from which one comes out for better, or worse.
01:49:35 "Take these figures. In the US for example,"
01:49:39 "There's a sexual attack every 28 minutes."
01:49:45 "In other words professor, you're preaching comprehension?"
01:50:27 No!
01:50:30 "Letellier!"
01:50:31 I'm listening, Valdeck.
01:50:33 "Listen well, Letellier."
01:50:36 "This is the first part of my demands."
01:50:40 "I've set for 3 o"clock an explosion so strong,
01:50:48 At 2:45, I want a fueled car waiting in front of the building.
01:50:53 I will come down with the mother and daughter without any intervention!
01:50:57 The mother will drive, while I aim my gun at the child.
01:51:02 Up to Orly, where a manned plane will wait for us!
01:51:09 But what is he thinking? No airport will ever allow him to land,
01:51:14 What makes you think he's got a destination?
01:51:17 He's not asking for a plane to escape, but to give us his
01:51:24 He will circle Paris,
01:51:26 Until we obey his orders.
01:51:28 WHAT orders?! The demands of a madman? Impossible!
01:51:33 Then...
01:51:39 What do you suggest?
01:51:44 Bid for time.
01:51:59 Yes?
01:52:01 "Valdeck, I've got the official ok, but he'll take a little more time."
01:52:05 "The car, that's easy, but the plane isn't."
01:52:09 "Give me time to take care of it."
01:52:11 What's the problem?
01:52:13 Orly closes at night.
01:52:15 I can't have a boeing in a few minutes.
01:52:19 I'm asking you to delay the execution of your plan.
01:52:22 "Meaning?"
01:52:24 7 am for the car, 7:45 for the plane, I can't before.
01:52:32 Hello? Are you there?
01:52:35 Yes yes, I hear you. I'm thinking.
01:52:47 I will set my bomb for 7:15!
01:52:51 I will not change anything else, no matter what.
01:53:06 I see only one possible solution, colonel,
01:53:09 It depends on you, and it's very risky.
01:53:12 I'm asking permission to try it.
01:53:15 There are 2 men up there, I'm the only one who knows which is Minos.
01:54:38 "Hello, Valdeck? Letellier here... Do not interrupt me!"
01:54:41 "I will detail the whole operation to you."
01:54:46 "The car you requested will drive in front with a tank full of gas."
01:54:51 "He evacuated the whole police force."
01:54:53 "In 5 minutes, you can come down with the mother and daughter."
01:56:16 "Nobody will follow you to Orly West,"
01:56:19 "Where a boeing and its crew are waiting, ready to take off."
01:58:13 Jean! Let go!
01:58:41 Letellier!
01:58:48 Bravo!
01:58:49 What you did was fantastic!
01:58:51 Nah! No-brainer, all muscle.
