1. August, 1962
was a stormy time for France.
Copy !req
2. Many people felt that
President Charles De Gaulle...
Copy !req
3. had betrayed the country
by giving independence to Algeria.
Copy !req
4. Extremists, mostly from the army...
Copy !req
5. swore to kill him in revenge.
Copy !req
6. They banded together
in an underground movement...
Copy !req
7. and called themselves the OAS.
Copy !req
8. The Minister's meeting is over!
Copy !req
9. They're very late.
Copy !req
10. The time elapsed from the first
to the last shot was seven seconds.
Copy !req
11. In all, more than 140 shots were fired.
Copy !req
12. Several bullets pierced the President's car.
Copy !req
13. One came within an inch of his head.
Copy !req
14. But, as I! by a miracle,
neither he no! anyone else was hurt.
Copy !req
15. Six months later:
Copy !req
16. Most o! the conspirators
have been caught and tried.
Copy !req
17. Their leader, Colonel Bastlen-Thlry,
has been sentenced to death.
Copy !req
18. At the last moment, his lawyer
tries one more time for a stay of execution.
Copy !req
19. The appeal for clemency
has been turned down.
Copy !req
20. There is nothing more one can do.
Copy !req
21. I am sorry.
Copy !req
22. There is no need.
Copy !req
23. For heaven's sake,
don't you realize you're going to be shot?
Copy !req
24. You don't understand.
Copy !req
25. No French soldier is going to raise
his rifle against me.
Copy !req
26. Fire!
Copy !req
27. Here is the 8:00 news 101' today,
March 11, 1963.
Copy !req
28. An hour ago, in the courtyard
of the Fort d1vry, outside Paris...
Copy !req
29. Lieutenant Colonel Bastien-Thiry
was executed by firing squad...
Copy !req
30. for leading the attempt on the life
of Genera! De Gaufle last August.
Copy !req
31. The OAS new seems
completely demoralized...
Copy !req
32. by the splendid performance
of our national security forces.
Copy !req
33. Already it is known that
the new chief of operations of the OAS...
Copy !req
34. Colonel Mark Rodin, a former
paratroop commander in Algeria...
Copy !req
35. is on the run
and hiding somewhere in Austria.
Copy !req
36. Today's execution must surely mean
that the OAS is finished...
Copy !req
37. once and for all.
Copy !req
38. What are the finances like, Rene?
Copy !req
39. No wonder our people are giving up.
They've lost faith.
Copy !req
40. We've failed them every single time.
Copy !req
41. We won't fail again!
Copy !req
42. What can we do? We're paralyzed.
Copy !req
43. Every cop in France knows us.
informants are all around us.
Copy !req
44. We must find an outsider. A foreigner.
Copy !req
45. - A foreigner? Why?
- A contract killer.
Copy !req
46. One that hasn't worked in France,
so he won't have a police record.
Copy !req
47. - He can come and go as he pleases.
- That sort of person costs money.
Copy !req
48. Yes.
Copy !req
49. I'll find the right man.
Copy !req
50. We'd better meet again
in three months, in Vienna.
Copy !req
51. In the pension you both know:
Pension Kleist. June 15.
Copy !req
52. It's a limited market.
Copy !req
53. I've compiled 11 dossiers
over three months.
Copy !req
54. Only those four men
seemed anywhere near right.
Copy !req
55. Now that you've read the files,
what do you think?
Copy !req
56. - One Englishman did all these jobs?
- I don't believe it.
Copy !req
57. - It's true.
- He did that fellow in the Congo')?
Copy !req
58. And Trujillo?
Copy !req
59. - Yes.
- That's our man then, isn't it?
Copy !req
60. I should say so.
Copy !req
61. I'm glad you agree on the final choice.
Copy !req
62. Because he'll be here any moment.
What?
Copy !req
63. He's arriving this afternoon from London.
Copy !req
64. Wolenski.
Copy !req
65. A normal precaution, you understand.
Come in.
Copy !req
66. We are not terrorists, you understand.
We are patriots.
Copy !req
67. Our duty is to the soldiers
who died fighting in Algeria...
Copy !req
68. wand the 3 million French citizens
who live there.
Copy !req
69. You want to get rid of him?
Copy !req
70. Speaking as a professional,
do you think it's possible?
Copy !req
71. It's possible.
The point is getting away with it.
Copy !req
72. As a professional,
it's an important consideration.
Copy !req
73. In principle, you'd say it could be done?
Copy !req
74. Yes. With enough time and planning.
Copy !req
75. It would be more difficult
than most targets.
Copy !req
76. Why more?
Copy !req
77. Because De Gaulle has
the best security in the world.
Copy !req
78. Their information is first-class.
Copy !req
79. You see, gentlemen,
not only have your own efforts failed...
Copy !req
80. but you've queered the pitch for others.
Copy !req
81. - How dare you suggest—
- You can't afford to be emotional.
Copy !req
82. It's why you've made so many mistakes.
Copy !req
83. - If we decided to employ a professional—
- You have to employ a professional.
Copy !req
84. Your organization is
so riddled with informers...
Copy !req
85. that nothing you decide
is a secret for long.
Copy !req
86. The job would have to be done
by an outsider.
Copy !req
87. The only question is
by whom and for how much?
Copy !req
88. Will you do it?
Copy !req
89. - Yes.
- How much?
Copy !req
90. Understand, this is a once-in-a-Iifetimejob.
Copy !req
91. - They can never work again.
- How much?
Copy !req
92. - Half a million, in cash.
What?
Copy !req
93. Half in advance and half on completion.
Copy !req
94. - Half a million francs?
- Dollars.
Copy !req
95. Are you mad?
Copy !req
96. Considering you'd get France in return,
I thought it a reasonable price.
Copy !req
97. But if you can't manage it,
there's nothing more to be said.
Copy !req
98. We accept.
Copy !req
99. How many people know about this?
Copy !req
100. - Just the four of us.
- Let's keep it that way.
Copy !req
101. This job depends on absolute secrecy.
Copy !req
102. No notes must be kept.
Copy !req
103. If any of you is captured, I shall call it off.
Copy !req
104. I suggest you stay in a safe place under
guard until the work is done. Agreed?
Copy !req
105. Agreed.
Copy !req
106. The planning will be mine.
Copy !req
107. No one else will get the details
and you won't hear from me again.
Copy !req
108. Here's the name and account number
of my bank in Switzerland.
Copy !req
109. When they tell me the first $250,000
has been deposited, I'll move...
Copy !req
110. provided I'm ready.
Copy !req
111. But I'll not be hurried in any way.
Copy !req
112. Agreed.
Copy !req
113. All I want from you is
a phone number in Paris...
Copy !req
114. thatl can call
about changes in De Gaulle': plans.
Copy !req
115. The contact mustn't know
who I am or what this is about.
Copy !req
116. Send me the number by mail.
Copy !req
117. How do you expect us
to find the money so soon?
Copy !req
118. Use your network to rob some banks.
Copy !req
119. One last thing.
Copy !req
120. What code name will you use?
Copy !req
121. Why not "The Jackal"?
Copy !req
122. Why not?
Copy !req
123. There's nothing more you want from us.
You'll be working completely alone.
Copy !req
124. Not completely.
One will have the cooperation of De Gaulle.
Copy !req
125. He won't listen to his security service
and stay out of the public eye.
Copy !req
126. A pleasantjourney home, Mr. Jackal.
Copy !req
127. 960,000 francs? This has got to stop!
Copy !req
128. You're the Chief of Action Service.
Copy !req
129. You've had 3 weeks to find out
if the OAS is involved...
Copy !req
130. and if they are, what are they up to?
- It is the OAS, General.
Copy !req
131. But the ones we've caught are small fry.
Copy !req
132. They've been ordered to do it,
but they don't know why.
Copy !req
133. The Minister's been after me again.
Copy !req
134. We've questioned all known OAS people.
Copy !req
135. They know nothing.
Copy !req
136. - What about the informers?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
137. But we found out this morning
that Rodin and the other two are in Rome.
Copy !req
138. They arrived on June 18.
Copy !req
139. They've taken the two top floors
in Hotel Garibaldi.
Copy !req
140. - You're watching them, of course?
- Twenty-four hours a day.
Copy !req
141. 'Morning. Birth certificate, please.
Paul Oliver Duggan.
Copy !req
142. Born in the parish of Sambourne Fishley,
April 3, 1929.
Copy !req
143. Fill in the form.
You'll find the 1929's up those stairs...
Copy !req
144. and left at the first gallery.
- Right. Thanks.
Copy !req
145. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
146. Excuse me, please.
How many krone to the pound?
Copy !req
147. The official parity rate is 19.34.
Copy !req
148. Hello. Two bottles of hairpin, please.
Copy !req
149. One in chestnut brown and one in gray.
Copy !req
150. I've only got Clairol, dear.
Copy !req
151. That's fine. And also a tin of solvent.
Copy !req
152. - It is here.
- Is it?
Copy !req
153. Hello?
Copy !req
154. Yes.
Copy !req
155. Hello, Zurich?
Copy !req
156. Mr. Kola, this is he.
Copy !req
157. That's right. Account Number 50664.
Copy !req
158. The money's been deposited.
Copy !req
159. How much?
Copy !req
160. Alitalia announces the departure
of Flight 121 to Geneva.
Copy !req
161. Now boarding at Gate 5.
Copy !req
162. The Hotel Garibaldi is owned
by a Frenchman with OAS sympathies.
Copy !req
163. Extra Action Service staff have been sent
from Paris to Rome...
Copy !req
164. to keep watching them around-the-clock.
Copy !req
165. Rodin, Montclair and Casson
live at the top floor alone.
Copy !req
166. On the next floor down
are the bodyguards...
Copy !req
167. ex-paratroopers or foreign Iegionnai res.
Copy !req
168. - How many?
- Eight.
Copy !req
169. - They're afraid of being kidnapped.
- I know Rodin. He's not a man to be afraid.
Copy !req
170. The lift doors on the top floor
are welded together...
Copy !req
171. and everything goes through
the bodyguards.
Copy !req
172. Not one of them has set afoot
outside the hotel for five weeks.
Copy !req
173. The only contact
with the outside world is one man:
Copy !req
174. - Adjutant Wolenski.
- Tell me about him.
Copy !req
175. Bersie, run the film, please.
Copy !req
176. This is Wolenski.
Copy !req
177. He goes to the post office
every morning and afternoon.
Copy !req
178. See that?
Copy !req
179. You'll have to cut his hand off
to get the mail away from him.
Copy !req
180. He always waits until the collection van
arrives before he posts any letters.
Copy !req
181. Then he goes to pick up the mail.
Copy !req
182. All their mail comes to general delivery
and is addressed in the name of Partrier.
Copy !req
183. Wolenski, of course,
can identify himself as such.
Copy !req
184. Colonel Rolland here.
Copy !req
185. I want everything you've got
in the archives on a foreign Iegionnaire.
Copy !req
186. His name is Viktor Wolenski.
Copy !req
187. If the OAS is planning something big,
their agents must be working on it now.
Copy !req
188. You must find out who they are
and where they make contact.
Copy !req
189. I let myself in.
Copy !req
190. I'll make us some coffee.
Copy !req
191. Denise.
Copy !req
192. I ask you to get rid of these.
It's for your own safety.
Copy !req
193. I'll do it tonight.
Copy !req
194. Maybe I should do it for you now.
Copy !req
195. They know all about your fiancГ©.
Copy !req
196. I have an assignment for you
that sounds very important.
Copy !req
197. It's not very pleasant.
Copy !req
198. Go on.
Copy !req
199. They want you to get involved
with an official of the Elysee Palace...
Copy !req
200. someone fairly close to De Gaulle.
Copy !req
201. It might be dangerous.
Copy !req
202. It's certainly distasteful.
Copy !req
203. Who is this official?
Copy !req
204. I'll show him to you in a week or so.
Copy !req
205. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
206. Yes, please come in.
Copy !req
207. You think you can do it?
Copy !req
208. Certainly.
Copy !req
209. I can take an existing gun,
make the modifications.
Copy !req
210. It must be very light in weight,
and it must have a short barrel.
Copy !req
211. A short barrel. That's a pity.
Copy !req
212. Lastly, there must be a silencer
and a telescopic sight.
Copy !req
213. Over what range will you fire?
Copy !req
214. I'm not sure yet,
but probably not more than 400 feet.
Copy !req
215. - Will the gentleman be moving?
- Stationary.
Copy !req
216. Will you go for a head shot
or a chest shot?
Copy !req
217. Probably head.
Copy !req
218. What about the chances of a second shot?
Copy !req
219. I might get the chance, bull doubt it.
Copy !req
220. In any event, I'll need a silencer to escape.
Copy !req
221. In that case,
you better have explosive bullets.
Copy !req
222. - I can prepare a handful for you.
- Glycerin or mercury?
Copy !req
223. Mercury, I think.
Copy !req
224. It's much cleaner.
Copy !req
225. - More Campari?
- No, thank you.
Copy !req
226. It seems then...
Copy !req
227. the gun must be carried past customs
without arousing suspicion.
Copy !req
228. Recognize that?
Copy !req
229. The whole thing should be made
of hollow aluminium tubes...
Copy !req
230. which screw together. The top one...
Copy !req
231. holds the rifle strut. The one below,
the bolt with the breech inside it.
Copy !req
232. The shoulder rest of the rifle
doubles for both purposes...
Copy !req
233. without changing in any way.
- That's excellent.
Copy !req
234. The last two sections house
the telescopic sight and silencer.
Copy !req
235. Here.
Copy !req
236. It's very remarkable. It's so simple.
Copy !req
237. I shall need the gun in about two weeks.
Copy !req
238. If you could meet me here...
Copy !req
239. August 13, you could try out
the gun and discuss last minute details.
Copy !req
240. Very well. August 13.
Copy !req
241. Now the question of your fee.
Copy !req
242. I have to ask a fee of 1,000 pounds
for this kind of a job...
Copy !req
243. you see and, say...
Copy !req
244. another 100 or 200 pounds
for the raw materials.
Copy !req
245. Done.
Copy !req
246. I'll pay you half the fee now
and the rest on delivery.
Copy !req
247. What do you think? Marvelous?
Copy !req
248. I knew you didn't come to Genova
for a driver's license.
Copy !req
249. Anyone in London could've done that.
Copy !req
250. Problem is I won't have time
to play around with makeup.
Copy !req
251. - I'm not much good at it anyway.
- Forget about makeup.
Copy !req
252. The important thing is the skin.
It must look gray and tired.
Copy !req
253. We used a trick in the army to fake illness
and get out of fatigue duty.
Copy !req
254. - Can you get hold of some cordite?
- I suppose so.
Copy !req
255. You swallow a couple
of small pieces of cordite.
Copy !req
256. It'll make you feel sick
and turn the skin a gray color.
Copy !req
257. After about an hour...
Copy !req
258. you'll feel all right again,
but your skin looks gray much longer.
Copy !req
259. I'll try it.
Copy !req
260. What about the French documents?
Copy !req
261. French identity card's all right.
Copy !req
262. The other one,
I don't think I've seen what they look like...
Copy !req
263. let alone copy it.
Copy !req
264. I'll get a colleague in France to pick
a pocket so I can make a duplicate.
Copy !req
265. Give me more time, more money.
Copy !req
266. How much more?
Copy !req
267. Five hundred.
Copy !req
268. Three hundred pounds?
Copy !req
269. - Half now, half on delivery.
- When will I hear from you?
Copy !req
270. I'll be returning to Genova on August 14.
Copy !req
271. Be in the same place
where we met tonight at 6:00.
Copy !req
272. Must be a big job you've got.
Copy !req
273. There are certain things
I wish to make clear.
Copy !req
274. When you've finished,
I want the negatives...
Copy !req
275. wand all the prints
of the photographs you've taken.
Copy !req
276. You will also forget the name Duggan...
Copy !req
277. and the name on the French
documents you're going to produce.
Copy !req
278. Is that understood?
Copy !req
279. Taking it easy? I wish I had your job.
Copy !req
280. All my tenants are on holiday.
What time is it?
Copy !req
281. - Half past 5:00.
- I must hurry.
Copy !req
282. - Good-bye.
- Good-bye.
Copy !req
283. That's him. See?
Copy !req
284. In the light coat.
He's the official at the Elysee Palace.
Copy !req
285. He'll pack his wife and children off
to the Loire Valley for the holiday.
Copy !req
286. You haven't got much time.
Copy !req
287. I need Wolenski.
Copy !req
288. Arrange to get him across the border.
Copy !req
289. What? Never mind the Italian government.
Copy !req
290. Once you have him inside France,
bring him to Paris immediately.
Copy !req
291. You're being very foolish, Viktor.
Copy !req
292. You know yourself,
they always talk in the end.
Copy !req
293. You've seen it with your own two eyes
in Indochina.
Copy !req
294. And in Algeria, of course.
Copy !req
295. Tell us what they're waiting for
in that hotel!
Copy !req
296. What are they planning?
Who have they been meeting with?
Copy !req
297. Nobody? Not a soul?
Copy !req
298. Then where were they
before they went to Rome?
Copy !req
299. Tell us, Viktor.
Copy !req
300. Go back a bit.
Copy !req
301. Hold it. Stop.
Copy !req
302. Rome, Viktor. Why did they go to Rome?
Copy !req
303. - No answer.
- Check.
Copy !req
304. why are they in Rome?
Copy !req
305. - Answer: secret.
- Check.
Copy !req
306. where did they stay
in Vienna, Viktor?
Copy !req
307. - No answer.
- Check.
Copy !req
308. Was it the house?
Copy !req
309. I am asking you, was it a house?
Copy !req
310. Kleist.
Copy !req
311. Go on.
Copy !req
312. who is Kleist?
Copy !req
313. What does he do?
Copy !req
314. What did they do to the bastard?
I can't understand a word.
Copy !req
315. - Put it on the speakers.
- Where from?
Copy !req
316. "Who is Kleisl?" That bit.
Copy !req
317. Who is Kleist? What does he do'!
Copy !req
318. Jack? Jackie?
Copy !req
319. - That wouldn't be Jackie? Would it?
Jackie?
Copy !req
320. That's not possible.
Copy !req
321. Go back, and this time turn up the sound.
Copy !req
322. Heel, Rex!
Copy !req
323. Rex, come here!
Copy !req
324. Are you all right?
Copy !req
325. I think so.
Copy !req
326. - Do you want me to call for an ambulance?
- No.
Copy !req
327. Are you sure?
Copy !req
328. I'll survive.
Copy !req
329. There. See?
Copy !req
330. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
331. It's not your fault.
Copy !req
332. - Sorry to drag you away, Colonel.
- Nonsense.
Copy !req
333. The tape is on your machine
in case you want to refer back...
Copy !req
334. and here is the transcript.
- Yes.
Copy !req
335. Jackal.
Copy !req
336. I thoughtwolenski used it
as a swear word...
Copy !req
337. but it doesn't sound like him.
Copy !req
338. Fair.
Copy !req
339. Excuse me, Colonel. The foreigner...
Copy !req
340. could it be a fair foreigner? A blonde?
Copy !req
341. Is Kleist the foreigner?
Copy !req
342. Colonel, it's 4:30.
Copy !req
343. The plot described above constitutes,
in my view...
Copy !req
344. the most dangerous single conception
that the terrorists...
Copy !req
345. could possibly have devised...
Copy !req
346. to endanger the life
of President De Gaulle.
Copy !req
347. If the plot exists as described...
Copy !req
348. and if a foreign-born assassin,
whose code name may be "Jackal"...
Copy !req
349. has, in fact, been engaged
for this attempt on the life—
Copy !req
350. - Sorry.
- On the life of the President...
Copy !req
351. it is my duty to inform you,
Minister, that in my opinion...
Copy !req
352. we face a national emergency.
Copy !req
353. New paragraph.
Copy !req
354. The above report is top secret
and intended for your eyes only.
Copy !req
355. Written at 0800 hours...
Copy !req
356. August14, 1963.
Copy !req
357. Address to the Minister of the Interior.
Copy !req
358. Have the dispatch rider stand by...
Copy !req
359. and forget everything you've heard.
Copy !req
360. Well?
Copy !req
361. If what Rolland says is true...
Copy !req
362. the whole network of our agents
inside the OAS is no good to us.
Copy !req
363. The President must be told.
Copy !req
364. I'll ask for an interview.
Copy !req
365. Get me the Elysee Palace.
Copy !req
366. Minister. One moment, sir.
Copy !req
367. The Minister of the Interior.
Copy !req
368. There you are.
Copy !req
369. It's all there.
Copy !req
370. The Duggan driving license
and French identity card were easy but...
Copy !req
371. that third card was a big headache.
Copy !req
372. It's nicely dog-eared, isn't it?
Copy !req
373. - Have you forgotten something?
- Sorry?
Copy !req
374. The original driving license.
The onel said I wanted back.
Copy !req
375. I thought we might have a chat about that.
Copy !req
376. The fact is,
the original driving license is not here.
Copy !req
377. But don't worry.
It's put away in a very safe place.
Copy !req
378. Nobody can get at it but me.
Copy !req
379. - What do you want?
- I'm coming to that.
Copy !req
380. What I propose is simply a little trade.
Copy !req
381. I give you the original driving license...
Copy !req
382. wand all those negatives I took of you...
Copy !req
383. for a certain sum of money.
Copy !req
384. - How much?
- A thousand pounds.
Copy !req
385. Isn't itworth that
to get those documents back?
Copy !req
386. Yes, I suppose so.
Copy !req
387. An English gentleman can always
be trusted to see sense.
Copy !req
388. I can find the first 500 by noon tomorrow,
but we don't meet here.
Copy !req
389. There's nothing wrong with this place.
Copy !req
390. It's very quiet and private.
Copy !req
391. There's everything wrong with this place.
Copy !req
392. Forget about that. Nobody comes here
unless they're invited by me.
Copy !req
393. One has to be very discreet,
you know, in my little sideline.
Copy !req
394. I asked for aluminium.
Copy !req
395. I tried the aluminium but it just did bend...
Copy !req
396. like tissue paper.
I had to use stainless steel.
Copy !req
397. But it's all right. It looks the same.
Copy !req
398. Where can I practice?
Copy !req
399. There's the Montemorro Forest.
You could be there and back in a day.
Copy !req
400. - Excuse me.
- I won't need the case.
Copy !req
401. Silencer, please.
Copy !req
402. Strut.
Copy !req
403. And the sniper scope.
Copy !req
404. Here.
Copy !req
405. Trigger.
Copy !req
406. Trigger, please.
Copy !req
407. - Beautiful piece of work.
- I know.
Copy !req
408. - It's really excellent.
- Yes.
Copy !req
409. These are for practice.
I took out six of them...
Copy !req
410. to convert to explosive tips.
Copy !req
411. Let me have one.
Copy !req
412. - Good evening, gentlemen.
- Good evening.
Copy !req
413. Please sit down.
Copy !req
414. I trust that you've all read
Colonel Rolland's report?
Copy !req
415. I delivered a copy
to the President this afternoon.
Copy !req
416. Unhappily, in the interest
of the dignity of France...
Copy !req
417. he feels obliged to impose
enormous limitations on us.
Copy !req
418. He refuses to alter in any way...
Copy !req
419. the summer schedule
of his public appearances.
Copy !req
420. Good heavens.
Copy !req
421. The search for this Jackal
will be conducted in absolute secrecy.
Copy !req
422. Needless to say,
you are all sworn to total silence...
Copy !req
423. wand won't discuss this matter
outside this room.
Copy !req
424. But Minister—
Copy !req
425. But it's impossible!
Copy !req
426. The President was absolutely adamant.
Copy !req
427. What extra security precautions
do we take, Minister?
Copy !req
428. None.
Copy !req
429. General Colbert. Any success in Vienna?
Copy !req
430. Inquiries were made by our agents
at the Pension Kleist.
Copy !req
431. They showed photographs of Rodin,
Montclair and Casson to the desk clerk.
Copy !req
432. Some money changed hands.
He stated that he recognized them.
Copy !req
433. They had arrived on June 14.
Copy !req
434. Were there any visitors?
Copy !req
435. One man the next afternoon.
Copy !req
436. He left half an hour later.
Copy !req
437. The only description the clerk could give
was the man was well-groomed...
Copy !req
438. in his early thirties and had fair hair.
Copy !req
439. Surely a better description can be found.
Copy !req
440. From whom?
Copy !req
441. Rodin, for instance.
Copy !req
442. I hardly think he'd accept an invitation
from any of our departments, Colonel.
Copy !req
443. Commissioner Berthier, any suggestions?
Copy !req
444. We're in trouble on this one.
Copy !req
445. Our agents inside the OAS
can't pin him down...
Copy !req
446. since not even the OAS know who he is.
Copy !req
447. Action Service can't destroy him.
They don't know who to destroy.
Copy !req
448. Surveillance can't get him at the border,
they don't know what he looks like.
Copy !req
449. The gendarmes, all 48,000 of them,
can't pursue him.
Copy !req
450. They don't know who to pursue.
Copy !req
451. The police can't arrest him.
We don't know who to arrest.
Copy !req
452. Without a name,
all other proposals are meaningless.
Copy !req
453. The first task, then, is to find it.
Copy !req
454. With a name, we get a passport and a face.
Copy !req
455. With a face, we get an arrest.
Copy !req
456. But to find his name,
and to do it in secret...
Copy !req
457. is a job of pure detective work.
Copy !req
458. Commissioner,
who is the best detective on the force?
Copy !req
459. The best detective...
Copy !req
460. is my own deputy commissioner,
Claude Lebel.
Copy !req
461. Claude!
Copy !req
462. Berthier wants to see you.
Copy !req
463. - What? Now?
- He's sent a car.
Copy !req
464. Don't be back later than 9:00.
Copy !req
465. Commissioner Lebel.
Copy !req
466. Good evening.
Copy !req
467. Remember, you have full powers
in this investigation...
Copy !req
468. and the resources of every department
represented here entirely at your disposal.
Copy !req
469. My instructions are simply:
no publicity and do not fail.
Copy !req
470. Keep your copy of the report.
Copy !req
471. Any questions?
Copy !req
472. No, Minister.
Copy !req
473. In that case, I'll not detain you.
Copy !req
474. Thank you, Commissioner.
Copy !req
475. Collect the reports
and put them in my private safe.
Copy !req
476. - Yes, Minister.
- Good night.
Copy !req
477. - Good night.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
478. You'll have to drop whatever you're doing.
Copy !req
479. Clear the desk completely.
Copy !req
480. - You want a new office?
- No.
Copy !req
481. From now on, it's headquarters for this job,
nothing else.
Copy !req
482. The Minister said
he wants a progress report by you...
Copy !req
483. every evening from now on.
Copy !req
484. - Here. 10:00 sharp.
- Oh, God.
Copy !req
485. I know.
Copy !req
486. You'vejust got to find him
before he gets to De Gaulle.
Copy !req
487. - I wonder if he has a timetable.
- I'm sure he has.
Copy !req
488. The trouble is, only he knows it.
Copy !req
489. He might go for a hit tomorrow
or maybe not for a month.
Copy !req
490. You've got to work flat out
until you locate him.
Copy !req
491. After that, we can have Action Service
do the rest, the thugs.
Copy !req
492. Obviously, you've got to have
a heavy mug for a thing like this.
Copy !req
493. Anyway, just go and find this Jackal,
will you?
Copy !req
494. What?
Copy !req
495. - I'll need help.
- Who?
Copy !req
496. Young Caron, and he'll have to be told.
Copy !req
497. - I'll have to get clearance.
- All I want is Caron. That's all.
Copy !req
498. You know, sir, what they'll do to you
if you don't catch him in time.
Copy !req
499. I've been given a job,
so we'll just have to do it.
Copy !req
500. But no crime has been committed yet.
Copy !req
501. Where are we supposed to start looking
for the criminal?
Copy !req
502. We start by recognizing that,
after De Gaulle...
Copy !req
503. we are the two most
powerful people in France.
Copy !req
504. Now make notes.
Copy !req
505. Get my secretary transferred
until further notice.
Copy !req
506. You will be my secretary
and assistant rolled into one.
Copy !req
507. I want a camp bed in here
with linen and all the usual...
Copy !req
508. including something to wash in
and shaving things.
Copy !req
509. Also, get a percolator and lots of coffee.
Copy !req
510. - Right, sir.
- Get onto the switchboard.
Copy !req
511. I want a good telephonist,
the best they've got.
Copy !req
512. I need ten outside lines
open around-the-clock.
Copy !req
513. If there's any nonsense,
refer them to Berthier.
Copy !req
514. This job gets top priority at all times.
Copy !req
515. Do you want anything
from them immediately?
Copy !req
516. A person-to-person link to the heads...
Copy !req
517. of the homicide divisions
of the following countries:
Copy !req
518. Holland, Belgium, Italy, West Germany...
Copy !req
519. wand South Africa.
Copy !req
520. The FBI in the United States...
Copy !req
521. and Scotland Yard's
Special Branch in Britain.
Copy !req
522. - How many is that?
- Seven.
Copy !req
523. Get the head man at home or in the office.
Copy !req
524. Ask them to take a call from me
tomorrow morning...
Copy !req
525. and see that there's no one listening in.
Copy !req
526. In the meantime,
I'm going down to General Records...
Copy !req
527. to check if this Jackal
has ever operated inside France.
Copy !req
528. Sir, how do you know the Jackal
comes from any of these countries?
Copy !req
529. I don't.
Copy !req
530. But he must be on file somewhere.
Copy !req
531. - Sorry I'm late, darling.
- What kept you so long?
Copy !req
532. - There was along meeting.
- I've been waiting for hours.
Copy !req
533. Yes, I'm sorry about the hour, but...
Copy !req
534. Yes, Washington, I know it's 7:00 there.
It's midnight here.
Copy !req
535. What?
Copy !req
536. Could you call him at the club, please?
Copy !req
537. I didn't go out.
Copy !req
538. I just sat waiting for you to call.
Copy !req
539. It was impossible. There was a crisis on.
Copy !req
540. Crisis? What crisis?
Copy !req
541. Never mind.
Copy !req
542. - What crisis?
- It was nothin.
Copy !req
543. What crisis?
Copy !req
544. Mr. Mallinson.
Copy !req
545. I'm sorry to disturb you, sir.
It's Paris calling, Inspector Caron.
Copy !req
546. I don't wish to sound rude,
but wouldn't it be better...
Copy !req
547. if routine inquiries could be conducted
through proper channels?
Copy !req
548. Preferably when we're all awake?
Copy !req
549. I'm sorry, Mr. Mallinson. It is very urgent.
Copy !req
550. Commissioner Lebel didn't wish
to make a formal request.
Copy !req
551. He was hoping
that you'd cooperate with us unofficially.
Copy !req
552. All right.
I'll take the Commissioner's call at 8:30.
Copy !req
553. Fine. Good night.
Copy !req
554. What's left of it.
Copy !req
555. - Who was that?
- The old boy network.
Copy !req
556. Yes?
Copy !req
557. - Denise.
- Valmy here.
Copy !req
558. They found out about the Jackal.
Copy !req
559. All I found in Central Records was that
in the 10 last years there've only been...
Copy !req
560. four contract killers in France.
Copy !req
561. We've got three. The fourth is
serving time in Africa somewhere.
Copy !req
562. So, our man must be from abroad.
Copy !req
563. Surely he's come to someone's attention
somewhere.
Copy !req
564. - Who do I speak to first?
Scotland Yard...
Copy !req
565. Special Branch.
Copy !req
566. Assistant Commissioner Mallinson.
Copy !req
567. There's no name.
Nothing to go on, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
568. It's pretty irregular,
all this unofficial secrecy, isn't it?
Copy !req
569. Makes my task difficult.
Copy !req
570. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
571. I've never heard of a political killer
in this country.
Copy !req
572. - It's not our style, is it?
- No, it's more your department...
Copy !req
573. so, I'll leave it in your hands.
- Yes—
Copy !req
574. And try to get it out of the way
by tomorrow.
Copy !req
575. I'm understaffed as it is.
Copy !req
576. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
577. What's the cost?
Copy !req
578. Give me the Foreign Office,
would you, please, luv?
Copy !req
579. Extension 905.
Copy !req
580. Hello, Barrie?
Copy !req
581. Brian Thomas.
Copy !req
582. Could you meet me in an hour
at the usual place?
Copy !req
583. We've been plowing through the files
till we're cross-eyed.
Copy !req
584. None of them fits the description.
Copy !req
585. But before we drop it, I had a thought.
Copy !req
586. If this contract killer
did all his work abroad...
Copy !req
587. he'd be quite respectable
in England, right?
Copy !req
588. So?
Copy !req
589. Your people operate abroad. I thought
you might have tabs on a bloke like that.
Copy !req
590. I'll have a look.
Copy !req
591. Brian, call for you.
Copy !req
592. Thomas.
Copy !req
593. Yes, that's right.
Copy !req
594. Is this some sort of bloodyjoke?
Copy !req
595. What, now?
Copy !req
596. Personally?
Copy !req
597. Yes, I'll—
Copy !req
598. - The Prime Minister?
- The Prime Minister, sir.
Copy !req
599. He said, "if there's the remotest chance
of De Gaulle': life being threatened...
Copy !req
600. "... by a person of these islands,
then it is to be stopped."
Copy !req
601. He's given me full powers and top priority.
Copy !req
602. - Is this some kind ofjoke?
- Of course not, sir.
Copy !req
603. I've got to drop whatever I'm doing.
Copy !req
604. I shall need six of your best men
straightaway.
Copy !req
605. Where's the notification for this?
Where's the proper authority?
Copy !req
606. Yes!
Copy !req
607. Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
Copy !req
608. Nothing more than taproom gossip,
I'm afraid.
Copy !req
609. Do you remember Trujillo?
Copy !req
610. You mean the dictator
of some republic in South America?
Copy !req
611. Yes, Dominica. He was killed in 1961.
Copy !req
612. We got word that an Englishman
may have been mixed up in it.
Copy !req
613. Just an unconfirmed report, mind you.
Copy !req
614. - Did he have a name?
- Charles Harold Calthrop.
Copy !req
615. He was the Caribbean rep
for a small armaments firm.
Copy !req
616. According to the rumor,
he was a fantastic shot.
Copy !req
617. He disappeared after the assassination.
Copy !req
618. Nobody knows where he went.
Copy !req
619. Calthrop.
Copy !req
620. - Is that all there is to go on?
- Afraid so.
Copy !req
621. Just a name?
Copy !req
622. What makes you think it might be him?
Copy !req
623. Your friend's code name is "Jackal", right?
Copy !req
624. Jackal in French is...
Copy !req
625. "chacal."
Copy !req
626. See?
Copy !req
627. Now it might just be a coincidence...
Copy !req
628. but the first three letters
of his Christian name, Charles...
Copy !req
629. wand the first three letters
of Calthrop make up...
Copy !req
630. That's all the Charles H. Calthrop,
way back to 1958.
Copy !req
631. - How many does that make?
- 23.
Copy !req
632. Will you please tell Commissioner Lebel...
Copy !req
633. that there is a faint possibility,
very faint...
Copy !req
634. the name is Charles Harold Calthrop.
Copy !req
635. That's right.
We've checked with the Passport Office.
Copy !req
636. 23 passports were issued
to Charles H. Calthrop...
Copy !req
637. mduring the past five years.
Copy !req
638. We've interviewed 12 of them so far.
Copy !req
639. Nothing at all, but I'll keep you posted.
Copy !req
640. Do you have a garage for rent?
Copy !req
641. Excuse me.
Copy !req
642. Would you happen to know
where Mr. Charles Calthrop is?
Copy !req
643. - Mr. Calthrop?
- Yes.
Copy !req
644. I think he's abroad. He often is, you know.
Copy !req
645. Thank you.
Copy !req
646. We better get a search warrant.
Copy !req
647. What's happening?
Copy !req
648. Come in.
Copy !req
649. We've been through the lot, sir.
He's away, all right.
Copy !req
650. Let's see what you've got.
Copy !req
651. - What's this?
- His passport.
Copy !req
652. We checked it. It's him.
Copy !req
653. Look. The Dominican visa.
Copy !req
654. There's no exit stamp though.
He must have got out on the sly.
Copy !req
655. You haven't rasped it yet, have you?
Copy !req
656. Yes, this is our man, all right. Definitely.
Copy !req
657. But hasn't it occurred to you
that we're holding his passport?
Copy !req
658. If he is out of the country,
what's he traveling on?
Copy !req
659. - He might be on holiday in the UK.
- Yes, he might.
Copy !req
660. Then again, he might not.
Copy !req
661. His name is Charles Harold Calthrop.
Here's his passport photo.
Copy !req
662. I'll circulate photos
to each of you after the meeting.
Copy !req
663. Excellent.
Copy !req
664. Thank you, Commissioner.
Copy !req
665. It may be Calthrop has already entered
the country and is staying at a hotel.
Copy !req
666. - Phillison.
Minister?
Copy !req
667. I want every hotel card for the past
72 hours checked by the police.
Copy !req
668. The same for you, Pascal, with those cards
that are filed for the greater Paris area.
Copy !req
669. Circulate to your staffs
this man's name and photograph.
Copy !req
670. He must be arrested on sight,
and my office notified at once.
Copy !req
671. I want every border post...
Copy !req
672. airport, seaport, fishing village alerted.
Copy !req
673. - General Colbert.
Minister?
Copy !req
674. Calthrop is probably still abroad,
so get your agents working on that.
Copy !req
675. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
676. In the meantime,
complete silence must be maintained...
Copy !req
677. until we're sure
the man's in this country.
Copy !req
678. - Thank you. Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
679. Commissioner Label': office.
Copy !req
680. Yes.
Copy !req
681. Thank you. Good-bye.
Copy !req
682. No one called Calthrop has crossed
any border point legally...
Copy !req
683. since the start of the year.
Copy !req
684. And no hotel has taken in a guest
under that name.
Copy !req
685. Maybe he's given up and gone into hiding.
Copy !req
686. If the British found
Calthrop's passport in his flat...
Copy !req
687. it's because he no longer needed it.
Copy !req
688. Don't count on that man
making too many errors.
Copy !req
689. He's not the type.
Copy !req
690. I'm beginning to get
a feeling about the Jackal.
Copy !req
691. He may be abroad,
traveling on a false passport.
Copy !req
692. What you're going to do now is
go down to the Passport Office.
Copy !req
693. Get every passport application
for the last three months.
Copy !req
694. - But, sir—
- I don't care who's closed.
Copy !req
695. Wake the buggers up.
Copy !req
696. Then take all those papers
down to Somerset House...
Copy !req
697. get started on checking
the applicants' names...
Copy !req
698. "against death certificates,
not birth certificates.
Copy !req
699. If you find an application filed by someone
who died as a child...
Copy !req
700. the one who filed it might be our man.
Copy !req
701. If you find nothing
in the first three months, go back three.
Copy !req
702. And another three if you have to.
Copy !req
703. Off you go.
Copy !req
704. Yes?
Copy !req
705. How's it going, Hughes?
Copy !req
706. How many applications?
Copy !req
707. 8,041?
Copy !req
708. You'll be there a week.
Copy !req
709. How about I send you some more staff?
Copy !req
710. Bloody holiday season.
Copy !req
711. About 4,000 more to go, Mr. Thomas.
Copy !req
712. But if we work through lunch,
we should be finished tonight.
Copy !req
713. Superintendent Thomas, Special Branch.
Copy !req
714. Hughes here, sir.
Copy !req
715. Paul Oliver Duggan.
Copy !req
716. Born April 3, 1929, in Sambourne Fishley.
Copy !req
717. Applied for passport July 14 of this year.
Copy !req
718. Passport mailed July 17
to an address in Paddington.
Copy !req
719. That will probably turn out
to be an accommodation address.
Copy !req
720. Why?
Copy !req
721. Because Duggan died at the age
of two and a half on November 8,1931.
Copy !req
722. Passport, please.
Copy !req
723. One moment.

Copy !req
730. Got any luggage?
Copy !req
731. - In the boot.
- Bring it inside.
Copy !req
732. Thank you.
Copy !req
733. Once we've found his new name,
Lebel shouldn't have trouble catching him.
Copy !req
734. It's not that simple.
Copy !req
735. There are over two million foreigners
are in Paris at this time of year.
Copy !req
736. I'm very sorry, Minister.
Copy !req
737. Commissioner Lebel
requested this meeting...
Copy !req
738. because he has new information
on the British suspect.

Copy !req
743. What do we do now?

was issued on July 30.
Copy !req
745. No need to go further back than that.
Copy !req
746. Special Branch in Britain
is trying to trace him...
Copy !req
747. mthrough the passenger lists
of all airlines and ferries.
Copy !req
748. If they pick him up in Britain,
they'll detain him.
Copy !req
749. If we locate him inside France,
we arrest him.
Copy !req
750. If he's found in a third country,
Action Service will deal with him.
Copy !req
751. In the meantime,
I'll be grateful if you would do this my way.

Copy !req
757. I'll have coffee in the lounge.
Copy !req
758. Do you mind my sitting here?
Copy !req
759. Thank you.
Copy !req
760. Boring, aren't they?
Copy !req
761. The magazines.
Copy !req
762. - I find them fascinating.
- What?
Copy !req
763. Articles on pig breeding
and combine harvesters?
Copy !req
764. I'm enthralled by combine harvesters.
Copy !req
765. In fact, I yearn to have one as a pet.
Copy !req
766. Yes?
Copy !req
767. When did you say? This afternoon.
Copy !req
768. Repeat that again.

we'll handle it from now on.
Copy !req
773. - Where is he?
- How should I know?
Copy !req
774. Damned secrecy.
We have to wait for the hotel cards.
Copy !req
775. It's madness.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Copy !req
776. No, of course I don't live in the Alps.
Copy !req
777. I went there for a visit, that's all.
Copy !req
778. Climbing?
Copy !req
779. Good lord, no.
Copy !req
780. I spent the day at the Cadet Academy
in Barcelonnette...
Copy !req
781. mamongst a lot
ofjaundiced military types...
Copy !req
782. mwatching my son receive his commission.
Copy !req
783. He's nineteen.
Copy !req
784. I never know when you're being serious.
Copy !req
785. - It's true, unfortunately.
- Why "unfortunately"?
Copy !req
786. I see nothing unfortunate—
Copy !req
787. I'm not begging for compliments,
Mr. Duggan.
Copy !req
788. - Will you have a liqueur?
- No, I must go to bed.
Copy !req
789. I have to leave very early
tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
790. - Are you sure?
- Positive.
Copy !req
791. Good night, Mr. Duggan.
Copy !req
792. I've got to leave in a couple of hours.
Copy !req
793. I've along way to go.
Copy !req
794. You've got to go back to your room.
Copy !req
795. Your husband meeting you?
Copy !req
796. No, he isn't there.
Copy !req
797. Good morning.
Copy !req
798. Excuse me, madam.
Copy !req
799. Only three new guests last night.
Copy !req
800. All right. Put them in the rack for Nice.
Copy !req
801. Cards ready yet?
Copy !req
802. Hello? Nice?
Copy !req
803. Repeat, please.
Copy !req
804. Stay by the phone until I call back.
Don't do a thing.
Copy !req
805. I don't want him disturbed yet,
but isolate the place.
Copy !req
806. Let no one in or out
and stop all phone calls.
Copy !req
807. He's been staying in this hotel near Grasse.
Copy !req
808. - He's registered for two days.
- Shall I put out an alert?
Copy !req
809. No. He'll kill anybody
who tries to intercept him.
Copy !req
810. We'd better get there right away.
Copy !req
811. You have an Englishman
named Duggan staying here.
Copy !req
812. - Where is he?
- Mr. gone, sir.
Copy !req
813. He left this morning, just after 11:00.
Copy !req
814. Assemble the staff and guests.
Don't let anyone get away.
Copy !req
815. Get the manager.
Copy !req
816. That's strange.
He was booked for two days...
Copy !req
817. then just after 11:00,
he suddenly asks for his bill and leaves.
Copy !req
818. He's got five hours start.
Put out an alert for the car.
Copy !req
819. But Madame de Montpellier': bed
was slept in by two people?
Copy !req
820. Yes, sir. Definitely.
Copy !req
821. You can always tell.
Copy !req
822. And you saw them in the lounge together?
Copy !req
823. That is correct, sir.
I served them coffee and liqueur.
Copy !req
824. They seemed very engrossed.
Copy !req
825. - In what?
- In each other, sir.
Copy !req
826. What did Mr. luggage
consist of when he left?
Copy !req
827. - Two bags.
- Nothing else?
Copy !req
828. No parcels or packages of any kind?
Copy !req
829. Just the two bags.
I carried them to his car.
Copy !req
830. That will be all.
Copy !req
831. - You photographed everything?
- Yes.
Copy !req
832. Go over his room for fingerprints.
Send the stuff to Paris.
Copy !req
833. I'll have a talk with the lady.
Copy !req
834. There's more news.
They have a description of your car.
Copy !req
835. Keep out of sight for a few days.
Copy !req
836. - How's the lady?
- Very disturbed by all this.
Copy !req
837. You told her nothing?
Copy !req
838. I know nothing at all
about Mr. whereabouts.
Copy !req
839. We only met in the lounge of that hotel.
Copy !req
840. - Hejoined me for coffee.
- What did he want?
Copy !req
841. What did you talk about?
Copy !req
842. Social chit-chat.
I imagine he was trying to impress me.
Copy !req
843. Why do you think that?
Copy !req
844. Commissioner, please, we're not children.
Copy !req
845. No, madam.
Copy !req
846. When you both met later,
was it only in your bedroom?
Copy !req
847. - " Later"?
Afterwards. After the coffee.
Copy !req
848. Madam, be in no doubt
as to the seriousness of your position.
Copy !req
849. We met in my bedroom. That's all.
Copy !req
850. I'd never seen this man until yesterday.
Copy !req
851. He doesn't even know my real name.
Copy !req
852. I regret to say
that we have lost track of him.
Copy !req
853. Temporarily, I hope.
But he simply disappeared.
Copy !req
854. Could that mean he's changed his mind?
Copy !req
855. We've obviously scared him off.
Copy !req
856. Is it possible he's decided to give up?
Copy !req
857. His only chance to escape
is to get across the border fast.
Copy !req
858. I think he's still in France.
Copy !req
859. He may be waiting.
Copy !req
860. Waiting for what?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
861. Bull don't think we can assume
that he's given up.
Copy !req
862. Good morning.
Copy !req
863. Madam, there is a gentleman—
Copy !req
864. Surprised?
Copy !req
865. Thank you, Michel.
Copy !req
866. - Do that later, Ernestine.
- Yes, madam.
Copy !req
867. - Yes, I am surprised.
- Why?
Copy !req
868. Your husband's still away, isn't he?
Copy !req
869. Why did you come here?
Copy !req
870. To see you.
Copy !req
871. I had to.
Copy !req
872. But why?
Copy !req
873. Does it matter?
Copy !req
874. Make a search of hills,
farmhouses, cafes and hotels...
Copy !req
875. in a ten-kilometer radius
from the scene of the crash.
Copy !req
876. Lookfor afair-haired,
young foreigner with two suitcases.
Copy !req
877. He may have been injured
and gone into hiding.
Copy !req
878. The police were here yesterday
looking for you.
Copy !req
879. Did they say they were coming back?
Copy !req
880. Only that I should phone if—
Copy !req
881. I know you stole that car.
It has a local license plate.
Copy !req
882. I know it must be very serious.
I don't mind.
Copy !req
883. You can tell me what you've done.
Copy !req
884. You can stay here. It's safe.
Copy !req
885. But you must tell me, Paul.
I won't say anything.
Copy !req
886. Good-bye, Mr. Duggan.
Copy !req
887. You r coffee, madam.
Copy !req
888. Madam?
Copy !req
889. Good morning.
A single ticket to Paris, please.
Copy !req
890. - What class?
- Second.
Copy !req
891. - How soon will the train be here?
- In an hour.
Copy !req
892. Platform One.
Copy !req
893. Your papers.
Copy !req
894. Danish?
Please?
Copy !req
895. Denmark?
- Yes.
Copy !req
896. What is your business here?
Copy !req
897. I'm a schoolteacher on holiday.
Copy !req
898. Madam?
Copy !req
899. Commissioner, Madame de Montpellier
has been murdered!
Copy !req
900. - Do they know who did it?
- it sounds like Duggan.
Copy !req
901. He arrived at her place yesterday,
but disappeared again with her car.
Copy !req
902. There's no need for secrecy.
It's a straight murder hunt now.
Copy !req
903. Put out a general alert for Duggan.
Describe the car.
Copy !req
904. 6:30 time check.
Listen, I've found that car.
Copy !req
905. The gendarmes by the station say
only three men...
Copy !req
906. boarded the midday train to Paris.
Copy !req
907. Two were locals...
Copy !req
908. and the third was a teacher
traveling on a Danish passport.
Copy !req
909. about 34. Five feet ten,
brown hair, blue eyes.
Copy !req
910. He can't remember the name.
Copy !req
911. What time is that train due
at Austerlitz station?
Copy !req
912. Ten past 7:00.
Copy !req
913. Come on!
Copy !req
914. - You know a good Turkish bath?
- Of course.
Copy !req
915. Take me there.
Copy !req
916. It's obvious that the Jackal
has been tipped off all along.
Copy !req
917. And yet he's decided to go ahead,
regardless.
Copy !req
918. He's simply challenged the whole lot of us.
Copy !req
919. Are you suggesting there's a leak
from inside this room?
Copy !req
920. I can't say.
Copy !req
921. We think the Jackal is now in Paris
with a new name and face...
Copy !req
922. mprobably masquerading
as a Danish schoolteacher.
Copy !req
923. Minister?
Copy !req
924. Can you estimate how many Danes
might have entered Paris this afternoon?
Copy !req
925. Several hundred at this time of the year.
Copy !req
926. We must check on the men personally.
Copy !req
927. I'll have every hotel visited
at midnight and 3:00 A.M.
Copy !req
928. All registration cards will be collected.
Every likely Dane will be investigated.
Copy !req
929. Good.
Copy !req
930. In the meantime, I'll try to persuade the
President to cancel all public appearances.
Copy !req
931. You're getting all steamed up.
Copy !req
932. I think so.
Copy !req
933. - I haven't seen you here before.
- No, I'm on holiday from Denmark.
Copy !req
934. Really? I know Copenhagen very well.
Copy !req
935. Unfortunately, I come from Silkeborg.
Copy !req
936. It's a very small town.
Copy !req
937. My name is Jules. Jules Bernard.
Copy !req
938. Lundquist. Per Lundquist.
Copy !req
939. Perhaps you' d like to come
for a drink at my home?
Copy !req
940. I live quite nearby.
Copy !req
941. That would be nice.
Copy !req
942. So, this Jackal has
a Danish passport, right?
Copy !req
943. - He must have got it somewhere.
- Yes.
Copy !req
944. But if he's had to dye his hair,
it looks as if he stole it.
Copy !req
945. Yes, go on.
Copy !req
946. Since his trip to Paris in July,
he's been based in London.
Copy !req
947. The chances are,
he stole it in one of those two places.
Copy !req
948. What would you do if you were a Dane
and lost your passport?
Copy !req
949. I'd go to the consulate.
Copy !req
950. - Are you calling Superintendent Thomas?
- Yes.
Copy !req
951. - Then the Danish Consul in Paris.
- Good.
Copy !req
952. - How is it going?
- Notwell.
Copy !req
953. 678 Danes arrived in Paris yesterday.
Copy !req
954. We're interviewing every man
about five feet eight.
Copy !req
955. No Danish schoolteacher
has turned up though.
Copy !req
956. - Have the list sent to my office.
- Right.
Copy !req
957. You are quite right, sir.
Copy !req
958. A Danish schoolteacher
had his passport stolen...
Copy !req
959. at London Airport on July 12.
Copy !req
960. Per Lundquist
of Copenhagen, age 33.
Copy !req
961. Five feet ten,
chestnut brown hair, blue eyes.
Copy !req
962. That's it! That's the one! Per Lundquist.
Copy !req
963. Look him up. Yes?
Copy !req
964. - There isn't one.
What?
Copy !req
965. One moment, Superintendent.
Copy !req
966. I don't understand it.
Copy !req
967. There isn't a Lundquist
on the hotels list. Not one.
Copy !req
968. The following conversation
was recorded at 6:15 this morning.
Copy !req
969. The number being dialed
was identified as MOLITOR 5901.
Copy !req
970. - Hello.
“lea?
Copy !req
971. - Denise.
- Valmy here.
Copy !req
972. They know he's a Danish schoolteacher.
Copy !req
973. They're visiting every hotel in Paris.
Copy !req
974. The contact was arrested an hour ago.
Copy !req
975. Unfortunately,
the information came from this room.
Copy !req
976. Whose voice was that?
Copy !req
977. I regret to have to inform you, Minister...
Copy !req
978. that it was the voice of a friend of mine.
Copy !req
979. She's staying with me at the moment.
Copy !req
980. Excuse me.
Copy !req
981. - I feel we owe you an apology.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
982. I must report that the President
will not change his mind.
Copy !req
983. Excuse me.
Copy !req
984. It's occurred to me that we've got
two days to catch the Jackal.
Copy !req
985. What? Why? How do you know?
Copy !req
986. Itwas silly of me
not to have seen it before.
Copy !req
987. Am I right that the President
has no engagements outside the palace...
Copy !req
988. today, tomorrow or Saturday?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
989. And what is Sunday, August 25?
Copy !req
990. Of course! Liberation Day!
Copy !req
991. - That's what he's been waiting for.
- We have a little over 48 hours.
Copy !req
992. We must have been blind, gentlemen.
Copy !req
993. All we need is the passport
photograph of Per Lundquist.
Copy !req
994. Copenhagen promised to send it
by this evening's conference.
Copy !req
995. There is one thing.
Copy !req
996. How did you know
whose telephone to tap?
Copy !req
997. I didn't, so I tapped all of them.
Copy !req
998. Are you home already?
Copy !req
999. We now have the passport photograph
of Per Lundquist.
Copy !req
1000. The ban on publicity is off.
Copy !req
1001. This is now a straight murder hunt.
Copy !req
1002. photo will appear
in the papers tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
1003. We'll have news flashes on TV
every 30 minutes.
Copy !req
1004. Every policeman and CR8 man in Paris
will be on the street to check the papers...
Copy !req
1005. of anyone remotely
resembling the suspect.
Copy !req
1006. Every detective will be called to help.
Copy !req
1007. - How many men does that make?
- Almost 100,000.
Copy !req
1008. Commissioner Lebel.
- Yes?
Copy !req
1009. My congratulations
on the splendid job you've done.
Copy !req
1010. We shall take over from now on.
Copy !req
1011. We need detain you no longer.
And, again, thank you.
Copy !req
1012. Did you see it?
Copy !req
1013. - What?
- Your face on the TV just now.
Copy !req
1014. - What do you mean?
- I was passing a TV rental shop...
Copy !req
1015. wand I saw your face.
Copy !req
1016. - No.
- Yes.
Copy !req
1017. Don't turn it off.
Copy !req
1018. - What was it about?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
1019. But I swear it was you.
Copy !req
1020. See?
Copy !req
1021. We apologize for interrupting
with the following announcement.
Copy !req
1022. Police still searching for the murderer
of Madame de Montpellier.
Copy !req
1023. His name is Per Lundquist,
and this is his photograph.
Copy !req
1024. N you have seen this man,
contact the police immediately.
Copy !req
1025. For God's sake, wake up, will you?
Copy !req
1026. The Minister wants to see you!
Copy !req
1027. We can't find him. He's vanished.
Copy !req
1028. Just disappeared off the face of the earth.
Copy !req
1029. I don't think we had any idea
what kind of man...
Copy !req
1030. you have been pursuing.
- What about tomorrow?
Copy !req
1031. The President rekindles
the eternal flame at 10:00.
Copy !req
1032. High mass is at 11:00.
Copy !req
1033. There's only one public ceremony
in the afternoon at 4:00.
Copy !req
1034. He will present Liberation Medals
to veterans of the Resistance.
Copy !req
1035. What about crowd control')?
Copy !req
1036. Crowds will be kept back
further than ever before.
Copy !req
1037. Steel barriers go up several hours
before each ceremony.
Copy !req
1038. Every house inside the barrier ring
is searched from top to bottom...
Copy !req
1039. including the sewers.
Copy !req
1040. Police will be issued
special lapel badges at the last moment...
Copy !req
1041. in case he tries to masquerade
as a security man.
Copy !req
1042. There'll be marksmen inside Moire Dame...
Copy !req
1043. even among the congregation.
Copy !req
1044. The priests celebrating mass
will be searched for concealed weapons.
Copy !req
1045. We'll have firemen and marksmen on every
rooftop along the procession route.
Copy !req
1046. Dumont has drafted
a number of very tall officers...
Copy !req
1047. to hedge around the President
without him noticing.
Copy !req
1048. - Can I pass, please?
- What for?
Copy !req
1049. I live there.
Copy !req
1050. I have a room at 154.
Copy !req
1051. Papers.
Copy !req
1052. All right.
Copy !req
1053. Thank you.
Copy !req
1054. Excuse me, madam.
Copy !req
1055. Would you be so kind
as to give me a drink of water?
Copy !req
1056. Of course. Come in. Please come in.
Copy !req
1057. It's hot, waiting for the ceremony.
Copy !req
1058. Are you getting a medal today?
Copy !req
1059. I got mine two years ago with one of my—
Copy !req
1060. Top floor!
Copy !req
1061. What the hell do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
1062. - Who are you?
- Charles Calthrop.
Copy !req
1063. This is my bloody flat.
Copy !req
1064. I think you better come down
to the yard, sir.
Copy !req
1065. Too bloody right, I will.
Copy !req
1066. There's no question of the British
government ever concealing...
Copy !req
1067. that this Jackal was an Englishman.
Copy !req
1068. So far as one can see...
Copy !req
1069. there was a period when
an Englishman came under suspicion...
Copy !req
1070. but he has now been cleared.
Copy !req
1071. Certainly, the Jackal
masqueraded as an Englishman...
Copy !req
1072. but he also masqueraded
as a Dane and as a Frenchman.
Copy !req
1073. So there's no way o! proving
his identity at all.
Copy !req
