00:02:03 HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
00:02:42 I worked for seven years
00:02:45 I'll call SC Farb.
00:02:49 It was a German company
00:02:57 I was the company psychologist
00:03:05 I had two responsibilities:
00:03:08 staff selection
00:03:10 and running seminars for executives.
00:03:14 My seminars were based
00:03:18 that motivation
00:03:25 We used a combination of role play,
00:03:29 group dynamics,
00:03:30 and old oriental methods
00:03:33 which encouraged people
00:03:39 I've seen grown men
00:03:42 I've seen people breaking down,
00:03:49 I had to guide them
00:03:55 making them soldiers,
00:03:58 highly competitive subalterns.
00:05:44 Hey, how are you doing?
00:05:46 How are you?
00:05:51 -You weren't at the coffee machine?
00:05:55 Is there a meeting?
00:05:56 No. Don't worry.
00:05:58 Betrand sent us a postcard.
00:06:00 -Where is he?
00:06:02 It's rained every day.
00:06:04 He doesn't care.
00:06:06 All they do is smile.
00:06:10 He found a bar
00:06:13 where he can check out
00:06:15 Then what does he do?
00:06:17 Nothing. You know him.
00:06:19 Have a nice day!
00:06:35 The company was pulling itself
00:06:40 A restructuring plan had forced
00:06:44 Staff had been cut
00:06:49 The management brought me in
00:06:52 to establish evaluation criteria
00:06:57 But I'll come to my part
00:07:01 It's too difficult to explain
00:07:15 Mr. Rose is sorry.
00:07:18 This way, please.
00:07:39 Come and sit down.
00:07:45 What I'm about to tell you
00:07:51 The head office has asked me
00:07:56 It's rather delicate.
00:08:00 How do you get on with the CEO?
00:08:05 I don't know him personally.
00:08:07 We see each other in meetings,
00:08:12 all we do is say hello
00:08:15 We have a strictly
00:08:18 I said this was confidential.
00:08:21 As a psychologist, I'm sure
00:08:24 You're the only person
00:08:32 Concerns have been voiced
00:08:35 about what you might call
00:08:40 They were brought to us
00:08:43 and confirmed by some
00:08:49 I've known Mr. Jüst
00:08:53 We worked together
00:08:55 He hasn't seemed himself
00:09:00 It's just a feeling,
00:09:01 but for those who know him,
00:09:07 I say "difference".
00:09:11 It's up to you to tell me.
00:09:16 Mr. Jüst is a cornerstone
00:09:19 of our operation and recovery
00:09:22 The Germans want
00:09:25 Like everyone else,
00:09:30 You're free to proceed
00:09:33 but this takes priority.
00:09:37 You'll obviously have
00:09:41 I'll tell his secretary.
00:09:43 Be discreet.
00:10:29 I know, Mr. Rose told me.
00:10:32 Tomorrow, around 9:00 PM.
00:10:34 -Do you know the Café Beaubourg?
00:10:37 -Until tomorrow, then.
00:11:39 -Hello.
00:12:12 Put that poison out or I'm off.
00:12:16 You're right, it's gone.
00:12:23 If we went to your place
00:12:30 If you want.
00:12:33 What would you like to hear?
00:12:35 -Your voice.
00:12:38 I want to see you sing.
00:12:41 Do you do it at the piano?
00:12:44 Sometimes.
00:12:46 I do it standing up, too.
00:12:48 I can sing sitting or lying down.
00:12:53 Why?
00:12:56 And naked?
00:13:08 Why not.
00:13:13 Like most people do,
00:13:19 Being naked must make it....
00:13:21 It depends who it is.
00:13:25 If I'm naked with Schubert,
00:13:30 it's never the same.
00:13:32 You have to choose.
00:13:37 Have you chosen?
00:13:42 Yes.
00:13:44 Why are you laughing?
00:13:48 No reason.
00:13:52 -Let's go.
00:13:55 Louisa!
00:14:14 Sorry?
00:14:14 Don't trust what people
00:14:17 You seem nice.
00:14:18 You should...
00:14:56 "April 12th,
00:14:59 April 17th, May 21st.
00:15:01 Late three times.
00:15:04 June 3rd.
00:15:06 Taken ill in a board meeting.
00:15:08 Unable to read notes.
00:15:14 June...
00:15:17 ...7th.
00:15:19 Shut himself in office all morning.
00:15:24 Sound of water."
00:15:50 "September 2nd.
00:15:53 Signature changed to initials only.
00:15:59 November 23rd.
00:16:01 Mr. Jüst complains
00:16:04 that documents have been stolen.
00:16:09 Internal inquiry reveals no evidence.
00:16:12 Withdraws complaint.
00:16:15 February 6th.
00:16:17 Arrives an hour early for work.
00:16:20 Sits motionless in parking lot."
00:16:23 Shit!
00:16:25 "February 14th. 11:00 AM.
00:16:27 In an intoxicated state,
00:16:31 June 5th.
00:16:35 November 2nd.
00:16:38 Suspects they have been tapped.
00:16:42 December 12th.
00:16:43 Has requested to change his name
00:16:46 from Jüst to Schlegel,
00:16:49 Request refused.
00:17:08 The first confidential file
00:17:13 I learned he entered the company
00:17:18 He climbed the ranks becoming
00:17:22 and finally CEO.
00:17:25 His CV was accompanied
00:17:33 showing proof of a denunciation policy
00:18:04 Thanks, Walter.
00:18:06 Yes, Mr. Jüst.
00:19:34 Since restructuring,
00:19:39 staff changes, recruitment,
00:19:45 It'll be two years
00:19:50 How far back can you go?
00:19:52 To the opening of our branch
00:19:54 They kept records back then?
00:19:56 Of course.
00:19:58 I found the files you asked for
00:20:03 They last played together
00:20:06 Have you been asked to look into it?
00:20:09 No. Why?
00:20:12 I had to get permission
00:20:16 Really?
00:20:18 No, it's my own idea.
00:20:22 What would you think
00:20:26 Management is obviously interested.
00:20:29 Karl Rose gave his consent
00:20:35 I hope it won't be old fogey music.
00:20:39 You're good at that.
00:20:42 Why don't you come to our parties?
00:20:43 I did. Remember?
00:20:45 No. That's the point.
00:20:48 You came to two,
00:20:51 I get down but play dead!
00:20:54 You're annoying, Simon.
00:20:55 I don't mean to be.
00:22:26 Was it you who called me?
00:22:29 -Jacques Paolini?
00:22:32 We can talk in a café if you like?
00:22:34 I have very little time,
00:22:39 Who told you about the quartet?
00:22:41 Some of the old guys who miss it.
00:22:43 Really?
00:22:45 The Farb Quartet
00:22:48 What do you mean?
00:22:50 Take four cards:
00:22:52 a king, a queen, a jack,
00:22:56 Or a king of spades,
00:22:59 a six of diamonds,
00:23:02 You can't win.
00:23:04 You have to throw in your hand.
00:23:07 I'm sure you can guess the cards:
00:23:09 a CEO, a secretary,
00:23:15 Music doesn't tolerate hierarchy.
00:23:18 The Franck quartet was a disaster.
00:23:21 Was Mr. Jüst the violinist?
00:23:25 How did he play?
00:23:27 He was extremely tense,
00:23:33 He was so meticulous
00:23:36 Perfectionism belies
00:23:42 Why are you interested
00:23:44 Management has asked me
00:23:48 for the events committee.
00:23:49 I thought it would be fun
00:23:53 Forget it! Factory workers
00:23:57 Other stuff is better:
00:23:59 techno, house,
00:24:04 You must know about raves?
00:24:06 My son's at Polytechnique
00:24:09 You can't be serious?
00:24:12 Why not?
00:24:13 What does management listen to?
00:24:16 Violence is a thriving market,
00:24:18 a way to let off steam,
00:24:20 a kind of necessary ritual.
00:24:23 Remember getting ragged
00:24:27 I'm going. I'm late already.
00:24:47 Mr. Jüst would be mad
00:24:50 He's a very thoughtful man.
00:24:54 He has difficult moments
00:24:58 personal problems.
00:25:01 Don't worry,
00:25:04 Everything you say
00:25:10 Mr. Jüst sometimes gets very sad.
00:25:14 A terrible loss
00:25:17 The sadness can last for months.
00:25:19 It's very painful,
00:25:24 Of course.
00:25:25 Sadness frightens people.
00:25:27 People avoid you like the plague.
00:25:30 Got a cigarette?
00:25:50 You close your eyes like a friend
00:25:54 Really?
00:25:56 A pianist.
00:25:58 A melancholic woman.
00:26:00 But I'm not sad!
00:26:05 Mr. Jüst isn't sad by nature.
00:26:07 Just now and then.
00:26:09 It's no big deal.
00:26:57 Mr. Tessier?
00:27:00 -Hello.
00:27:07 -Hello, Mr. Tavera.
00:27:09 Please, come in.
00:27:14 All right.
00:27:20 We can talk for an hour
00:27:24 I think an hour and a half
00:27:28 All right.
00:27:35 Today's meeting has a dual purpose:
00:27:39 to get to know each other.
00:27:42 We'll focus less
00:27:47 and more on you as a person.
00:27:49 Your likings, aspirations,
00:27:53 When we've finished,
00:27:56 if you've any questions
00:27:59 feel free to ask them.
00:28:02 I certainly will.
00:28:05 How would you like me to begin?
00:28:09 It's very simple.
00:28:11 If you had some close friends here,
00:28:16 how would they describe you?
00:28:19 That's a surprising question.
00:28:26 My mother would say I was studious.
00:28:28 She made me join
00:28:32 My girlfriend would say it didn't
00:28:36 What do you mean by that?
00:28:39 I can't cook.
00:28:42 Touching food makes me nauseous.
00:28:48 Have you tried to overcome it for her?
00:28:53 What does she do?
00:28:55 We're not married.
00:28:59 For now, I'm concentrating
00:29:01 Excuse me.
00:29:04 Yes?
00:29:06 It's me.
00:29:08 Hello, Mr. Jüst.
00:29:11 Yes, I'm researching
00:29:17 I have a few questions to ask.
00:29:24 Fine.
00:29:26 Thank you.
00:29:35 You were talking
00:29:42 Can you tell me why you've applied
00:29:45 What do you expect
00:29:49 There are more opportunities
00:29:53 You want to move up quickly?
00:29:56 Yes.
00:29:58 To be honest,
00:30:02 I'd have a good profile
00:30:06 But I think that people
00:30:10 What makes you think that?
00:30:13 I asked around and read the trades.
00:30:17 This company
00:30:20 so people get promoted quickly.
00:30:24 So your research has convinced you
00:30:29 Yes, that's exactly
00:31:37 How can I help you?
00:31:39 Since the restructuring,
00:31:45 to get together, have parties,
00:31:47 something that could even
00:31:51 So, I'm looking into forming one
00:31:56 inspired by the quartet you formed.
00:31:59 Meaning?
00:32:00 26 employees on my list
00:32:03 Most play piano,
00:32:06 percussionists, and guitarists.
00:32:08 I'd like to contact them
00:32:10 and ask if they'd like
00:32:14 Maybe you have some suggestions
00:32:18 How is your name spelled?
00:32:20 K-E-S-S-L-E-R,
00:32:23 Kessler.
00:32:26 You arrived here
00:32:33 Who told you about it?
00:32:35 The senior executives
00:32:41 I've heard a lot
00:32:44 It seems you get our executives
00:32:50 Yes, amongst other things.
00:32:52 The company
00:32:55 Its economic health
00:32:57 depends on its staff's physical
00:33:01 My goal is simple:
00:33:03 to push our executives
00:33:07 and use this motivation
00:33:12 Our executives
00:33:16 so that we can return
00:33:21 It's hard for some of them.
00:34:11 I'll have a look.
00:34:13 I may have a recording
00:34:24 Fine.
00:34:29 Aimless wandering
00:34:33 In search of what you'll never find
00:34:39 A tramway from beginning to end
00:34:43 Meaningless journeys
00:34:47 And the bitterness of not knowing
00:34:55 Where to go or what to lean on
00:35:01 All you see are people
00:35:04 Who come and go
00:35:06 Unconnected
00:35:08 Almost crippled
00:35:11 By misery
00:35:16 By misery
00:35:53 Sometimes life
00:36:01 Is like a fantasy
00:36:07 When you expect it least
00:36:14 It gives you what you wanted most
00:36:45 Even if it takes it away again
00:36:51 If what I'm saying is a lie
00:37:00 If it's not the truth
00:37:04 May God punish me
00:37:23 May He punish me if he wants to
00:38:26 People who believe
00:38:33 Are easily lead astray
00:38:37 In the vile comedy of love
00:38:45 What good is a soul to us?
00:38:51 You're better off
00:38:55 Than lying to those you meet
00:39:03 What good is a soul to us?
00:39:09 You're better off
00:39:18 Yes?
00:39:20 Good evening.
00:39:22 I like to know you're alive
00:39:26 Now?
00:39:29 Why not?
00:39:31 I don't pursue my desires
00:39:39 He who clings to a dream
00:39:45 Only sees the flip-side of life
00:40:15 What exactly is your job?
00:40:18 You work for a big company,
00:40:21 Why do you ask?
00:40:23 You're on call 24/7.
00:40:27 No I'm not.
00:40:28 Look what time they call you!
00:40:30 Don't those guys ever sleep?
00:40:32 Which guys?
00:40:33 Your boss.
00:40:36 My boss shouldn't have my number.
00:40:39 You don't have to go then.
00:40:41 Well, no...
00:40:43 ...but I guess I will.
00:40:47 If it gets nasty, call me.
00:41:09 Maybe you don't know that love
00:41:15 Despite its own laws
00:41:19 Bewilders people's hearts
00:41:39 I didn't know you smoked.
00:41:41 I never smoke at work.
00:41:50 So...?
00:41:52 You visited the archive room.
00:41:56 What did you think?
00:41:57 Fascinating.
00:42:00 In what way?
00:42:02 Archiving is fascinating by nature.
00:42:05 That's right.
00:42:08 Archive.
00:42:09 "Arkhé".
00:42:12 It's from where all things begin
00:42:19 Where power is exercised.
00:42:22 Lucy, my wife.
00:42:24 This is Mr. Kessler.
00:42:26 -Hello.
00:42:28 Some champagne? Whisky?
00:42:30 I'd love some champagne.
00:42:34 We're currently investing
00:42:37 in computerizing our archives.
00:42:42 What do we do
00:42:48 Who is it meant for?
00:42:50 Our successors, without doubt.
00:42:54 To history!
00:43:04 When we had the Quartet,
00:43:07 I never thought someone
00:43:12 What kind of investigation
00:43:14 I'm not investigating.
00:43:25 Please, sit down.
00:43:32 Where were you born, Mr. Kessler?
00:43:35 In Strasbourg.
00:43:37 Do you like Paris?
00:43:40 I've lived here a long time.
00:43:44 You like music.
00:43:47 Unfortunately not.
00:43:50 Your wife perhaps?
00:43:52 I'm single.
00:43:56 Music is a virus.
00:44:01 I caught it when I was six.
00:44:04 I was taught by Zoltan Nemeth,
00:44:07 the greatest violin teacher
00:44:09 He got up at 5:00 AM.
00:44:11 and did two hours of scales
00:44:17 At noon I studied for an hour,
00:44:20 and another hour and a half
00:44:24 My mother kept things rolling.
00:44:30 The Quartet rehearsed
00:44:33 My secretary was in it.
00:44:38 Paolini must have told you.
00:44:41 We tackled Dvorjak, Franck,
00:44:47 I didn't expect to find
00:44:51 I haven't heard it for a long time.
00:46:28 The softest....
00:46:32 Music of the angels.
00:46:34 They all ganged up against me....
00:46:36 five, ten of them...
00:46:42 ...it tears my body apart!
00:46:44 Stop!
00:47:03 Do you have much contact
00:47:10 Is Karl Rose interested in your work?
00:47:15 He comes to my seminars
00:47:19 Where does his sudden interest
00:47:22 I don't know.
00:47:24 What do you mean?
00:47:28 Come and sit down.
00:47:37 I'm very concerned
00:47:48 I'd like to talk to you
00:47:52 that's tormenting me.
00:47:53 I'm sorry, I have family commitments.
00:47:59 Already?
00:48:01 Yes.
00:48:02 You would leave me here in torment?
00:48:07 I'm sorry, don't mind me.
00:48:09 Go on.
00:48:12 Walter will take you home.
00:48:15 -Good night, sir.
00:49:08 Go on ahead, Tavera.
00:49:10 Make sure we don't have
00:49:24 You won't go far with that backpack.
00:49:28 You think you're in the AIps!
00:49:31 He wants a day off already!
00:49:55 Wait in line like everyone else!
00:50:01 Take off your sunglasses.
00:50:04 We're playing and not playing.
00:50:06 Philippe and I are shit.
00:50:07 Call us whatever you want.
00:50:10 He's the boss, our elder.
00:50:11 We owe him respect and obedience.
00:50:13 What's this bullshit?
00:50:15 There were rituals like this
00:50:19 The Middle Ages are over.
00:50:22 -Back off!
00:50:24 One should never see
00:50:27 Shut up!
00:50:30 Jump, Tavera!
00:50:32 Jump, asshole!
00:50:34 Stop, Simon! It's dangerous.
00:50:39 I've had it, scumbag boss!
00:50:46 He's gonna jump.
00:50:51 Let him do it.
00:50:56 Hey, shithead!
00:50:59 Sit the fuck down!
00:56:33 Simon, you want to go out?
00:56:36 What are you on? Are you crazy?
00:56:38 Who the hell are you?
00:56:40 What's wrong?
00:56:43 Shut up! I don't know you, bitch!
00:56:46 Come on, we're leaving!
00:56:50 I don't want anyone to hear!
00:56:51 -What?
00:56:53 I'm crazy about her voice.
00:56:54 So, what's the problem?
00:56:56 I don't want anyone
00:56:59 All those assholes watching her!
00:57:01 I'm watching her, too.
00:57:03 But you're blind.
00:57:06 -Have you watched her sing?
00:57:09 She's completely naked.
00:57:13 All those assholes ogling her.
00:57:16 Stop, asshole!
00:59:12 Mrs. Jüst called on the flimsy pretext
00:59:18 I couldn't refuse her invitation.
00:59:21 I was completely wrapped up
00:59:25 The anger that had surged
00:59:28 was soothed by the blue eyes
00:59:35 As you must have seen,
00:59:40 Music is an insurmountable ordeal
00:59:44 He says he feels pain.
00:59:47 Knives slicing through his body.
00:59:51 That's what he says.
00:59:54 But....
00:59:56 what terrifies me are his eyes.
01:00:00 It's like he's lost control.
01:00:06 I want to show you something.
01:00:11 As I followed her,
01:00:12 the sight of her neck
01:00:16 I resisted.
01:00:18 I could have either kissed her
01:00:23 He shuts himself
01:00:26 I hear him pacing around
01:00:31 I wanted to take his handgun away
01:00:37 but it's no longer in the drawer.
01:00:44 What a good dog.
01:00:46 What a dear dog.
01:00:48 Saphi.
01:01:00 The other day I caught him here.
01:01:05 He was sleeping on the floor
01:01:10 Imagine his big body.
01:01:14 I took his hand.
01:01:28 Mrs. Rose and I were great friends
01:01:32 but he stopped me from seeing her.
01:01:35 I think he's mad at Mr. Rose.
01:01:38 We were very close.
01:01:45 He doesn't think he's sick.
01:01:49 He says it's a plot.
01:01:53 In your profession,
01:01:58 Unless it really is a plot,
01:02:05 Can you help me
01:02:12 What could I say?
01:02:14 I promised to stay in contact,
01:02:17 and see her husband
01:02:21 She seemed relieved
01:02:23 and watched from the front door
01:02:25 until my car disappeared
01:02:35 I thought we might
01:02:43 Yeah, that's it, Daragon.
01:02:47 And maybe put him
01:02:52 until Wednesday, or something.
01:02:56 Until he comes back.
01:02:58 I don't know.
01:03:03 Isabelle, do you want some coffee?
01:03:19 Shut up! I don't know you, asshole!
01:03:21 What's wrong?
01:03:24 Let go of me!
01:03:25 -You were at the rave on Saturday?
01:03:28 You were fighting with a girl, right?
01:03:30 What girl?
01:03:32 "Shut up! I don't know you, bitch!"
01:03:34 Remember?
01:03:36 No.
01:03:37 No, nothing.
01:03:39 I didn't say that to you!
01:03:42 Wait! Tell me....
01:04:30 Yes?
01:04:34 I was just leaving.
01:04:41 Fine.
01:05:08 The business world is unforgiving.
01:05:13 How do you reconcile
01:05:17 with the company's need
01:05:23 How did you cope
01:05:28 I was only indirectly involved.
01:05:33 Don't be so modest.
01:05:35 You played a major role
01:05:41 Yes, I was there.
01:05:43 But you made the project a success.
01:05:47 You were the one behind it.
01:05:51 Thanks to your dynamic
01:05:59 I asked you to refine
01:06:10 You really gave us your all.
01:06:15 We went from 2,500 units to 1,200.
01:06:21 We recovered our shareholders.
01:06:23 It was a huge success!
01:06:32 The quality of the files you presented
01:06:38 You know exactly
01:06:42 according to the company's needs.
01:06:47 That's your strength, Mr. Kessler.
01:06:55 I've never hesitated to hire
01:07:01 And I've never had cause to regret it.
01:07:04 Unfortunately,
01:07:10 which have caused us
01:07:13 It's their loss, too.
01:07:17 One has to accept
01:07:21 I pay them to choose
01:07:36 Today, there's not one alcoholic
01:07:41 Before restructuring
01:07:45 to be "charitable".
01:07:54 You had no qualms
01:07:57 They gave us real safety problems
01:08:01 Of course.
01:08:03 You didn't give an inch
01:08:11 You stood your ground.
01:08:12 They didn't know the risk
01:08:16 Keeping on sick workers.
01:08:18 AIcoholism is a sickness.
01:08:21 They'd be incapable of responding
01:08:25 Imagine a vital pump breaking.
01:08:31 You have to react immediately.
01:08:33 There's no room for error.
01:08:37 There's gas, hydrogen.
01:08:41 Safety regulations were ignored.
01:08:43 I've seen "specialists"
01:08:46 without gloves or masks.
01:08:48 We've got hydrogen sulphide,
01:08:52 Take your pick!
01:08:54 And they blame it
01:08:58 Crap!
01:08:58 I just couldn't let it go,
01:09:03 And you were right!
01:09:26 I never noticed you worked
01:09:36 I'm well aware that Karl Rose
01:09:43 He gave you this task.
01:09:48 He's turning my own people
01:09:54 Karl Rose has decided
01:09:59 If he wants to get rid of me
01:10:00 it's because he knows
01:10:08 confidential, and compromising
01:10:15 Karl Rose used to be known
01:10:23 In 1936, Heinrich Himmler
01:10:32 literally, "source of life",
01:10:37 gathering from shelters
01:10:43 many of whom were orphans.
01:10:46 By the end of the war,
01:10:48 these children had been adopted
01:10:51 which was the case of Karl Rose.
01:10:53 He is a "Lebensborn child".
01:10:56 It obviously isn't his fault.
01:11:00 He grew up in a family nostalgic
01:11:06 and maintained dubious links
01:11:08 with people sharing
01:11:13 I have concrete proof of this.
01:11:17 He sent donations
01:11:20 which passed them on
01:11:26 which had its own paramilitary cell.
01:11:33 I have all this information
01:11:40 Do you understand now?
01:11:56 Now you can do as you like.
01:12:01 I've said everything I have to say.
01:12:07 How's your little orchestra going?
01:12:52 -Did I scare you?
01:13:54 Where are you going?
01:14:25 What's wrong?
01:14:29 What's going on?
01:14:35 What's happening?
01:14:37 -Stop it!
01:14:42 My lover is a madman.
01:14:44 Look.
01:14:46 You're cold.
01:14:50 Yes, now I'm scared.
01:14:59 The letter Rose sent me
01:15:04 It looked like an ordinary
01:15:09 full of production figures
01:15:13 Rose wanted to draw my attention
01:15:16 between the version
01:15:20 and the typed copy
01:15:23 Lynn Sanderson.
01:15:27 Concern.
01:15:32 Selection.
01:15:36 Reintegration.
01:15:44 Restructuring plan.
01:15:47 Relocation.
01:15:55 Concern.
01:15:57 Selection.
01:16:00 Reintegration.
01:16:03 Restructuring plan.
01:16:06 Relocation.
01:16:11 Reading the handwritten letter again,
01:16:13 I noticed that it was
01:16:17 as if Jüst's mind
01:16:22 like a computer virus,
01:16:23 deleting certain words
01:16:29 as if they belonged
01:16:50 One morning I was struggling
01:16:55 It was the first time
01:16:57 even disgust for my job.
01:17:01 I called in sick with the flu.
01:17:05 Jüst's report is due
01:17:08 but I can't write a word.
01:17:10 I'm going to make a hole.
01:17:19 I need your cigarette.
01:17:20 What?
01:17:22 Don't move.
01:17:26 I let it burn.
01:17:29 I push it well in.
01:17:52 Do it again.
01:17:56 Annoying, isn't it?
01:18:05 Usually I only do it once.
01:18:09 Is it lit?
01:18:11 You're trying it on the cashmere?
01:18:17 Cashmere burns well.
01:18:25 It works the same way.
01:18:33 Don't move.
01:18:55 Oh, what's going on?
01:19:13 I'll give you another one.
01:19:18 Good evening, gentlemen. Police!
01:19:19 Hands on the table!
01:19:22 What did we do?
01:20:51 Mathias!
01:21:35 This accident
01:21:39 Have you spoken to the doctors?
01:21:42 Yes, of course.
01:21:43 But they were very discreet.
01:21:45 I didn't find out much.
01:21:48 And Mrs. Jüst?
01:21:51 She says her husband
01:21:54 Since their child's death,
01:21:59 Of course.
01:22:01 You could have tried harder
01:22:07 Mrs. Jüst was very distressed.
01:22:13 Before this incident, what was
01:22:19 He's difficult to read.
01:22:21 He's highly principled
01:22:25 A workaholic with a one track mind.
01:22:28 He's suffering from exhaustion.
01:22:30 Despite his hard exterior,
01:22:32 he seems very sensitive
01:22:37 Where did you meet?
01:22:40 Here, in his office.
01:22:42 -How many times?
01:22:45 You mentioned a third meeting
01:22:48 The first time was over the phone.
01:22:50 As I said, I tried to find out more,
01:22:55 but without success.
01:22:57 He is very wary.
01:22:58 You mean, he's paranoid?
01:23:00 No, I meant his irascible nature
01:23:05 makes it hard for him
01:23:08 He's just going through a hard time.
01:23:11 He's got worries that might lead
01:23:15 The kind we've all been through.
01:23:18 What do you mean,
01:23:22 It's a phase more than a crisis.
01:23:26 It's not depression.
01:23:28 An ordeal.
01:23:31 Wait a minute.
01:23:33 Is it a crisis or not?
01:23:36 Depression or not?
01:23:39 You mentioned exhaustion.
01:23:43 That's the impression I got.
01:23:45 Maybe he just needs a vacation.
01:23:48 There's a difference between clinical
01:23:56 And his secretary?
01:24:01 She doesn't think there's a problem.
01:24:06 You must be joking!
01:24:09 She's the one who first alerted me.
01:24:13 She spoke of a breakdown,
01:24:16 discrepancies in his work.
01:24:19 If I brought you in,
01:24:25 To be honest,
01:24:27 this assignment
01:24:33 What's making you pull back?
01:24:36 What are you keeping from me?
01:24:40 Everything is in the file.
01:24:42 You're contradicting yourself,
01:24:45 I think the man's just tired.
01:24:48 You're lying.
01:24:50 You lied about seeing him.
01:24:52 -When?
01:24:55 - I needed a clearer picture of him.
01:25:01 Nothing. I just gave him a file.
01:25:03 I don't understand your distress.
01:25:05 You're not making yourself clear.
01:25:08 By calling
01:25:11 you're either trying
01:25:14 or deliberately misleading me
01:25:20 I think I was wrong
01:25:24 I overestimated
01:25:28 You're a dutiful subaltern
01:25:38 For a moment,
01:25:42 Karl Kraus,
01:25:45 nobody's child,
01:25:46 one of another breed of children,
01:25:49 all perfect and alike.
01:25:52 A child with no childhood,
01:25:56 A child from the new, pure,
01:26:18 For over a year, Karl Rose
01:26:22 I couldn't stand it anymore.
01:26:26 I was afraid of reprisals
01:26:36 It's kind of you
01:26:39 You sounded worried on the phone.
01:26:46 I was Mathias' girlfriend
01:26:52 We grew apart
01:26:54 because of his unpredictable
01:26:58 He drove me home after rehearsals.
01:27:01 I found poetic letters
01:27:10 Mathias was an anxious,
01:27:13 obsessed with the idea
01:27:20 I loved Mathias.
01:27:23 He's been nursing his sorrow
01:27:27 I've often seen him cry.
01:27:29 I still love the inconsolable child
01:27:32 His wife was at the hospital.
01:27:35 Did she tell you what happened?
01:27:36 Not really.
01:27:38 I think he passed out.
01:27:40 You're not telling me the truth.
01:28:23 Mathias' father was called Théodor.
01:28:25 During the war
01:28:28 He collaborated with the SS
01:28:30 during the occupation
01:28:34 He did more
01:28:36 There were many Jews there.
01:28:38 He was involved in relocating them,
01:28:43 if you see what I mean.
01:28:46 Got a cigarette?
01:28:56 Mathias never knew
01:29:00 But he did witness
01:29:03 One day in the early '50s,
01:29:10 A man recognized Théodor Jüst.
01:29:12 He came and spoke to him.
01:29:14 Théodor pretended not to hear him,
01:29:16 but the boy remembered
01:29:19 "I saw you in Miedzyrzec
01:29:23 There were women and children
01:29:26 Remember?"
01:29:28 Théodor Jüst got up,
01:29:33 Next day, the man was waiting
01:29:37 He gave Mathias a note
01:29:42 The boy couldn't resist reading it.
01:29:45 "Miedzyrzec, 88 - 13".
01:29:49 A place and some figures.
01:29:51 He asked his father,
01:29:56 What is 88 - 13?"
01:29:59 His father beat him,
01:30:02 yelled death threats
01:30:05 One day in the bathroom,
01:30:09 The child wondered what the bodies
01:30:13 "Daddy, there were
01:30:16 lying by the cemetery.
01:30:18 What were the bodies doing there?
01:30:21 What were the 13 children doing?
01:30:24 Daddy, what were the bodies doing?
01:30:26 The 88 women on the ground?
01:30:28 The 88 bodies, the 88 children?
01:30:32 Were the children dead?"
01:31:19 I can feel it.
01:31:22 It's going to fall.
01:31:25 I can feel it's going to snow.
01:31:27 It will be beautiful.
01:31:28 Hello, sir.
01:31:31 Do you have a cigarette?
01:31:35 Come with me, please.
01:31:38 Come with me.
01:31:43 I'm happy you came.
01:31:49 I couldn't ask Lucy.
01:32:07 Here.
01:32:11 Apart from you, I don't know who....
01:32:17 It's pure lies.
01:32:19 You'll see how spiteful men can be.
01:32:26 -Should I read them?
01:32:31 It's worthless.
01:32:38 A disgusting, repugnant past.
01:32:44 Lies.
01:32:47 My father wasn't in Berlin
01:32:49 He wasn't a technician.
01:32:51 He was just a shopkeeper
01:32:56 He was forced to enlist
01:33:00 in the east of the country.
01:33:04 I have nothing to do with this.
01:33:21 The envelope contained three letters.
01:33:25 Jüst had kept them on him.
01:33:28 They were anonymous,
01:33:33 The first, sent a year ago,
01:33:38 Enclosed was a facsimile
01:33:42 dated June 5th, 1942,
01:33:45 stamped, "Secret: Affairs of State".
01:33:50 "Since December 1941,
01:33:53 97,000 have been processed
01:33:57 using three vans,
01:34:01 The explosion in Kulmhof
01:34:07 caused by an operational error.
01:34:10 Special instructions
01:34:13 to the services concerned
01:34:18 One:
01:34:19 To facilitate rapid distribution
01:34:23 without pressure build-up,
01:34:26 two 10-centimeter vents will be made
01:34:30 These vents will be fitted
01:34:35 Two:
01:34:36 The normal load capacity
01:34:38 is from 9 to 10 pieces
01:34:44 But the large Saurer vans cannot be
01:34:48 The problem is not
01:34:50 but the effect of maximum loading
01:34:57 It therefore seems necessary
01:34:59 to reduce the cargo area
01:35:02 Reducing the number of pieces
01:35:05 is not the answer
01:35:06 because the empty space must also
01:35:16 The manufacturer pointed out
01:35:21 that making the van shorter
01:35:24 would cause the cargo
01:35:29 and might overload the axle.
01:35:31 In fact,
01:35:33 there is a natural compensation
01:35:42 There is a natural compensation
01:35:44 caused by the fact
01:35:48 the load tends to force
01:35:52 and ends up lying in this area.
01:35:58 Consequently, the front axle
01:36:02 Three:
01:36:04 The pipe that connects
01:36:08 tends to rust because
01:36:12 by liquids that flow into it.
01:36:15 Pointing the nozzle downward
01:36:21 Four:
01:36:23 To facilitate cleaning,
01:36:25 a watertight drain
01:36:29 The cover of the 20 to 30
01:36:31 will be fitted with an elbow siphon
01:36:34 to allow for the drainage
01:36:39 Thicker dirt will be disposed of
01:36:42 through the large drainage hole
01:36:48 To enable this,
01:36:52 Five:
01:36:53 The observation windows can be
01:36:57 This will save a great deal of money.
01:37:00 Six:
01:37:01 Grills should cover
01:37:04 to make it impossible
01:37:07 Experience shows
01:37:10 However, when the back door
01:37:15 the load pushes hard
01:37:19 This is because
01:37:22 towards what little light remains
01:37:26 This hampers the locking of the door.
01:37:30 It has been noticed that the fear
01:37:35 provokes screaming
01:37:40 It seems expedient
01:37:43 before and during
01:37:46 Lighting is also useful
01:37:49 and for cleaning the van."
01:37:52 You can't sleep here.
01:37:55 I'm not asleep.
01:37:57 You must have fainted then.
01:37:59 -Really?
01:38:04 Thank you.
01:38:06 Come and drink something.
01:38:08 No, I'm fine.
01:38:10 -I should call a doctor.
01:38:13 -Where do you live?
01:38:16 The memo had been submitted
01:38:19 to SS-Obersturmbannführer Rauff.
01:38:22 It had been signed:
01:41:11 Feeling better?
01:41:15 What did you mean
01:41:18 Why did you say that?
01:41:22 You frightened me.
01:41:26 We kissed.
01:41:28 We were going upstairs....
01:41:30 And then you remembered your mail.
01:41:33 You went to get it.
01:41:34 When you came back,
01:41:37 You were a different man. Cold.
01:41:41 You really hurt my wrists.
01:41:43 It was the other guy that did it.
01:41:45 He must have been hiding
01:41:48 He appeared out of nowhere.
01:41:52 Louisa, I....
01:41:58 Let's go back to before the mail.
01:42:04 I touched your breast.
01:42:06 With my other hand, remember,
01:42:11 I felt you against me,
01:42:16 I took you in my hand.
01:42:29 When I was a child,
01:42:31 I'd close my eyes and see the sun
01:42:38 It was red, frightening,
01:42:48 I could no longer feel Louisa's body.
01:42:50 I clung onto her flesh.
01:42:54 I could no longer see her eyes.
01:42:56 A face without a mouth.
01:43:15 The second letter Jüst had given me
01:43:17 was composed of pieces
01:43:21 pulled apart, broken up,
01:43:26 The words were scattered
01:43:30 I didn't know it but I held the proof
01:43:39 What's the good news,
01:43:42 Hello, Mr. Paolini.
01:43:44 Whisky, wine, pastis.
01:43:46 Whisky.
01:43:50 It's not my office, but it's better
01:44:05 Have you ever played this piece?
01:44:14 It's short.
01:44:17 It must be the Franck,
01:44:20 We had a go at it.
01:44:22 May the composer forgive us.
01:44:26 Why are you so obsessed
01:44:29 As I told you,
01:44:35 If I organized a concert this summer,
01:44:39 What an appalling idea!
01:44:42 I've always hated company parties.
01:44:46 They make me think of mass burials.
01:44:50 I thought the young executives
01:44:53 They were all really fond
01:44:56 Which old boys?
01:44:58 The few that are left
01:45:01 or have gone deaf by now.
01:45:04 The quartet was total crap.
01:45:07 You're lying.
01:45:08 No one would have talked about us.
01:45:10 Yes, Lynn Sanderson did.
01:45:13 She was madly in love!
01:45:17 We only had one real musician,
01:45:22 He was great.
01:45:24 He came from marketing.
01:45:26 He was laid off
01:45:30 He was an amazing guy.
01:45:33 -Lynn never mentioned him?
01:45:37 The quartet broke up when
01:45:40 Did you stay in touch?
01:45:42 No, I don't know
01:48:54 Why aren't you answering?
01:48:56 You have clients.
01:48:59 You're right. It's stupid.
01:49:01 Shall we go?
01:49:11 Mr. Paolini, let's go somewhere else.
01:49:13 I don't have the time, I'm sorry.
01:49:17 I just got this letter.
01:49:19 It was addressed to me personally.
01:49:22 At least look at it.
01:49:26 Why don't you sign
01:49:28 Do you find
01:49:32 I didn't write it.
01:49:33 Please stop bothering me.
01:49:41 I've received a second
01:49:44 this time at my home.
01:49:47 I'm angry and frightened.
01:49:52 Like the letters sent to Mathias Jüst,
01:49:59 It mostly consists of ordinary phrases
01:50:04 taken from a corporate psychology
01:50:08 but invaded and devoured
01:50:12 I can see a clear allusion to my job
01:50:15 and my contribution
01:50:18 whom I judged affected
01:50:26 and unable to meet
01:50:39 "Any element unfit for work
01:50:44 in line with the objective criteria
01:50:49 We'll bear in mind items such as:
01:50:52 1. Age.
01:50:53 2. Absenteeism.
01:50:55 3. Adaptability
01:50:59 not forgetting the regularly
01:51:03 It must be remembered
01:51:07 may have a negative influence
01:51:14 Security checks will employ
01:51:19 to detect stowaways and other
01:51:26 by picking up carbon gas emissions
01:51:34 We've recently installed
01:51:42 which are more efficient,
01:51:44 and enable us
01:51:52 The device will examine
01:51:56 No one can escape it.
01:52:00 7,000 have been picked up
01:52:06 The engineers are pleased
01:52:14 We used to arrest 230 per day.
01:52:17 This figure has now dropped
01:52:20 thanks to increased Franco-British
01:52:27 Our operation
01:52:32 to all French and English ports
01:52:46 I found this article in a daily paper
01:55:02 Here you are.
01:55:05 Thank you.
01:55:07 A beer, please.
01:55:43 -News from Patrice?
01:55:46 -And?
01:55:49 He's right.
01:56:01 Good-bye.
01:56:38 What's wrong with him?
01:56:41 Bladder stones.
01:56:44 Couldn't you have prevented it?
01:56:47 No, you can't do much about it.
01:56:50 Almost all cats get them.
01:56:53 I know, but....
01:56:55 After a certain age,
01:56:58 Give him a little kiss from me, okay?
01:57:01 I always get "Kimsala" and "Kimsal"
01:57:04 It's Timsal.
01:57:06 I always get it wrong.
01:57:08 I say it every morning.
01:57:10 It's crazy!
01:57:12 Did he say it was serious?
01:57:15 It happens to cats when they're nine.
01:57:17 I know. Just give him
01:57:21 Another coffee, please.
01:57:23 -It's been ages.
01:57:25 Even if it's a cat, we don't care.
01:57:27 I promise I'll give him a cuddle.
01:57:30 -He'll be happy.
01:57:34 Don't forget your knife.
01:57:41 Thank you.
01:57:51 -Hello.
01:57:54 Arie Neumann?
01:57:56 Yes, that's me.
01:57:59 You wrote to me.
01:58:03 Sit down.
01:58:08 It's cowardly to send letters
01:58:13 Why did you come to see me?
01:58:15 Your last letter
01:58:18 You could have ignored it.
01:58:20 You could have just burned it.
01:58:24 Maybe.
01:58:26 But I wanted to see your face.
01:58:29 Each one of these texts is signed,
01:58:32 with a name or by the system
01:58:41 It's perverse to hide like this.
01:58:44 It's not human.
01:58:46 You're right.
01:58:49 Those are the exact words:
01:58:56 A gratuitous play on Jüst's name.
01:58:59 A play on a name,
01:59:04 A resemblance.
01:59:06 It's so common these days.
01:59:10 Language is a powerful means
01:59:16 It's the most public
01:59:20 at the same time.
01:59:22 The effect of this propaganda
01:59:24 isn't produced by speeches,
01:59:33 It seeps into the masses'
01:59:38 Did you know we don't have
01:59:43 Only people on modest incomes.
01:59:46 We no longer talk of "issues"
01:59:55 but "problems" that our specialists
01:59:59 split up into a series
02:00:05 For each one,
02:00:12 Efficient methods.
02:00:14 But....
02:00:16 But words emptied of all meaning.
02:00:21 It's a break down of the language.
02:00:25 A dead language.
02:00:28 Neutral.
02:00:32 Invaded by technical words.
02:00:37 A language which gradually
02:00:44 Understand?
02:00:48 I see a gray truck crossing the city.
02:00:53 It's an ordinary steel panel truck
02:00:57 heading towards the mines,
02:01:03 two or three kilometers
02:01:08 Neither the driver
02:01:12 look back through the observation
02:01:16 They're tired.
02:01:18 They've still got 10 transports
02:01:25 10 journeys across town
02:01:33 All the more difficult
02:01:35 because in the first few minutes
02:01:41 they have to run the engine
02:01:46 to drown out the screams
02:01:52 that almost make the truck
02:01:56 Fortunately,
02:01:59 and the transport
02:02:04 in keeping with the schedule.
02:02:08 "Where do the trucks go?",
02:02:11 asks the child
02:02:15 At nightfall,
02:02:18 the child sees the vehicles
02:02:23 He sees the drivers handing around
02:02:30 The men are exhausted,
02:02:36 which began, like the others,
02:02:45 The escorts finish off
02:02:52 and hand in their daily reports.
02:03:01 The child sees his father,
02:03:08 the officer-foreman,
02:03:10 slap each man on the back,
02:03:14 and joke with each in turn.
02:03:20 The officer thinks
02:03:27 and there's no rain
02:03:31 he might be able
02:03:35 by the end of the week.
02:03:38 And his superior,
02:03:42 who issued the order
02:03:49 will congratulate him
02:03:51 on the smooth-running
02:03:55 If you were to ask each man
02:04:04 he would reply,
02:04:07 "Everything's going as planned,
02:04:11 although it's possible
02:04:20 He'd answer using
02:04:27 technical language,
02:04:31 which makes him a truck driver,
02:04:37 an escorting officer,
02:04:40 a foreman, a scientist,
02:04:47 an Obersturmbannführer.
02:04:58 Were you the child at the window?
02:05:15 The child at the window was
02:05:21 He didn't want to tell me
02:05:23 but I know "Arie" wasn't the one
02:06:58 The musicians took their places
02:07:02 and I saw the scene from my dream.
02:07:06 Arie Neumann came in last,
02:07:12 He remained standing,
02:07:21 I saw a man go towards the door
02:07:28 I saw the black mass
02:07:33 Merchandise.
02:07:37 Cargo.
02:07:43 I saw a world of nakedness
02:07:48 under the yellowish,
02:07:51 which slid down
02:07:56 exposing a hand, a leg,
02:08:00 a crushed face,
02:08:04 a twisted mouth,
02:08:07 bleeding.
02:08:10 Fingers clutching
02:08:14 stained with urine, vomit,
02:08:25 Liquid.
02:08:30 Here was part of a back,
02:08:33 the head and arms
02:08:38 There, a body entwined
02:08:44 And all these bodies....
02:08:47 Pieces.
02:08:48 Rolling over one another,
02:08:51 shifting the weight of the mass
02:08:54 All these corpses, tangled up,
02:09:01 but slowly separating from the mass
02:09:06 Shifting weight.
02:09:08 Each one gradually pulling out
02:09:13 A grimacing face, turned blue,
02:09:19 And beneath....
02:09:22 The shit.
02:09:25 Little children cradled
02:09:29 Scrawny old men,
02:09:35 naked boys covered in bruises.
02:09:39 All these creatures....
02:09:42 Pieces,
02:09:44 who had names.
02:09:46 Pieces.
02:09:49 Moïse.
02:09:50 Moshe.
02:09:52 My brother.
02:09:54 Robert.
02:09:57 My father.
02:10:00 Armand.
02:10:02 Miguel.
02:10:06 Amos.
02:10:10 Hannah.
02:10:12 Samuel.
02:10:16 Pieces.
02:10:19 My mother.
02:10:22 My love.
02:10:25 Pieces.
02:10:28 My sister.
02:10:30 Simone.
02:10:31 Magdalena.
02:10:34 Each of these bodies gradually
02:10:39 to fall one after the other,
02:10:44 into the dark hole of the mine.
02:10:47 Darkness.
02:10:49 A sea of bodies, buried,
