For once I believe you because it's just rotten enough.
We're both rotten.
You're a little more rotten. You got me to take care of your husband.
Then you'd get Zachetti to take care of Lola, maybe me too.
Then somebody would come along to take care of Zachetti.
That's how you operate.
Suppose it is? Is what you've got cooked up for tonight any better?
I don't like that music anymore.
Mind if I close the window?
You can do better than that, can't you, baby?
Better try it again.
Maybe if I came a little closer.
How's this? Think you can do it now?
Why didn't you shoot again, baby?
Don't tell me it's because you've been in love with me all this time.
No, I never loved you, Walter, or anybody else.
I'm rotten. I used you just as you said.
That's all you ever meant to me...
...until a minute ago...
-What the fuck are you doing? -...when I couldn't fire that second shot.
You know what time it is?
Listen up.
At 2200, Wetsuit's down the hole when the snake hits the carpet.
Security lifts the key.
l terminate the torpedoes.
Charm the snake into the stall.
Bait and switch.
At 2220, Wetsuit turns out the lights.
Glasses on. l bag the snake.
Key in the bag. Bag to the boat.
No radio unless absolutely necessary.
Code red, five minutes to blackout.
Drop everything. Walk away.
lf the cops catch you, tell them the truth.
You know no one.
Got it?
You have your passport?
The plane leaves tomorrow at 0700.
And remember, no names and no guns.
Are you high?
Then stop dreaming, bitch.
This isn't a game tonight. People can die.
Now get moving.
You forget something?
Stepping onto the red carpet here is Régis Wargnier,
the director of East West,
present tonight for a special screening of his film
..he is accompanied by the producer Yves Marmion
and the splendid actress Sandrine Bonnaire
On his right is Veronica, who is wearing an amazing top...
in the shape of a serpent...
Hey, get a load of that!
...it was especially designed by Elli Medeiros for the Chopard jewelers.
...adorned with 500 diamonds
for a total weight of 385 carats.
With an estimated value of over 10 million dollars.
Look at that, oh man!
Incredible, how can she walk around like that!
Oh fuck! I can't believe you did that!
What am I supposed to do now?
I'm sorry, I'll clean them off.
Good evening. Thank you very much. Oh, it's a picture of you?
-Let's go. -l got to go to the bathroom.
-You know how it is for girls. -You come back? One minute.
Here they are.
Okay, great. But look what you did to my pants.
I've got just the thing to fix you up.
With an ass like that, l don't think you need makeup.
I've got to piss too, I'll be right back.
Give me the key.
Got a light?
We've got a problem.
Mademoiselle Veronica?
Okay, baby. Baby, wake up.
-We gotta go. -No.
Time to go.
Mademoiselle Veronica?
The key's in the bag.
Get moving!
Move!
You better get out of here. Go!
They stole the diamonds...
Asshole! You said, no fucking guns!
These are glass. They switched them, these are glass!
Where's my passport?
It's fucking glass!
You better kill me now, bitch.
Shut the fuck up!
Call security!
Understand? Dead!
Don't move! Stay where you are!
Don't move or I'll shoot!
The bitch double-crossed us.
She took off with the diamonds!
Where is she?
In Paris. She's got a girlfriend in Belleville.
No, you don't understand. l need a passport yesterday.
Did you get it?
Yeah. Here.
Wait!
Did you hear that? What is that?
What the fuck are you doing?
Excuse me, madame, but l believe this is a free country.
l'm entitled to make any picture of anything l want from my balcony.
Go fuck yourself!
Go to church. Try to save your soul. Got you!
Yes!
Lily!
Hotel Sheraton.
Go and get the car... hurry up!
Yes?
...what do you want?
Maybe l should hire you.
Over here...!
No, she went over there!
No, Irma, she went over there!
Nonsense, I saw her there!
I'm sure it's her, she went that way.
Keep looking over there!
Don't move...!
...don't move, stay put.
Take off your glasses...
...good, the light is perfect...
-Brought the money? -Of course...
...perfect for what?
I need a picture for the passport.
Look right at the lens.
l got you, fucking bitch! Come on!
Before l snap your double-crossing neck!
Just tell me one thing.
Where are the diamonds?
Payback time, bitch!
Oh my God!
Don't touch her, don't...!
Are you preparing the tea?
Yes, of course. I'm not just boiling the water.
Oh forget it.
I told you we should have done something.
It's none of our business.
Oh right.
You read two words and she falls apart. That's none of our business, I suppose.
It had to be done. People die and will have to be read.
Did you see the look on her face?
And her hair...
What has she done with her hair?
What do I know about looks? I'm just a notary, damn it.
What if the kids and I were killed? Would you give a damn what I left you?
When your gun disappeared I knew she would do something crazy.
-How do you know she stole it? -Who else?
Go, check on the tea.
Feeling better, Lily?
Excuse me but I don't understand...
Now, you just shut up, honey. save your strength.
You just have to rest.
You have suffered a terrible tragedy, and...
you need time to get better, you know.
And if you get the urge to do anything silly, I want you to call me.
Before we leave...
I want you to answer just one question...
Did you borrow Louis' gun?
Are you sure?
Okay, but if you come across it, you'll tell me, won't you?
I'll turn the TV on so you'll have some company.
Here
We'll be back tonight with some dinner.
Drink your tea while it's hot.
Holy shit!
Oh, my God!
And if you could see the future in a crystal ball,
or in the palm of your hand, or in a dream...
...Would you change it?
Yep.
"We are sorry for your great loss."
"I thought I'd go to America and start a new life.
My English isn't so good but I'm a fast learner.
I even bought a plane ticket, but I've lost it.
I just can't go on without my Thierry and Brigitte.
Please God, forgive me, and let us now all be together."
There's been a mistake.
The computer has sold the same seat twice.
I'm terribly sorry.
Could we accommodate you in our first class cabin?
l'm sorry. l'm sorry.
You were sleeping.
Are you okay?
l didn't mean to frighten you, l'm sorry. Are you okay?
l'm sorry.
Yes.
California.
l mean, l grew up in California, but l live in Washington now.
And what do you do, in life?
ln life?
Well, l started in software, ordinateur...
...and made some money...
...then found out that l was interested in other things.
Like what things?
Like the whole world. l went back to school in Washington.
Got a degree in foreign relations, taught for a little while.
Then got a posting at the State Department.
America is a country very big, no?
Very big. ls this your first trip?
Yes. l begin my new life there.
France is no good for me.
How can you say that? France is a fabulous country.
Really. lt's the queen of Europe to me.
The art, the history...
...the sense of language, Stendhal, Racine, Balzac--
l lost my baby there.
l'm sorry, l don't know what to say. That's terrible.
Please forgive me. l didn't know.
lt's okay. lt's okay.
That is just awful.
What, are you dodging bill collectors?
-Nick, it's Johnny. -l know.
-What are you doing? -Working.
-Something I could sell? -Could be. Just need one more piece.
Another shot of that table? Are you eating?
Barely.
Like to take a break from your masterwork and make some money?
-What are you selling? -You know who Bruce Hewitt Watts is?
Strange as it may seem to you, photographers actually read.
-Books, magazines, even newspapers. -All right, smart-ass. Who is he?
-New American ambassador? -Bingo.
He's got a wife, but no one seems to have a picture of her.
-Maybe she's camera-shy. -No. She's got a past...
...and she's not talking. I did some checking. She's French.
Married before, with a kid.
l got an ex l don't talk about. What's wrong with that?
Nothing, except you don't dodge photographers like you're hiding.
-So you want me to nail her, right? -You are the best.
Come on, you know l don't like to do this.
-l feel like shit and besides, l am retired. -On what, IOUs?
I'm not just your agent. I'm your bank, and you're way past due.
Do yourself a favor and go to work. I get five figures for this picture.
All right. What's her schedule?
She arrives by private jet tonight.
-l gotta go. Bye. -Take that picture.
Be careful, you almost fell!
-Oh thank you. -Where are you going?
Listen I'm looking for public toilets...
...the Champs Elysées are over there or over here?
I don't understand, sorry...
-Do you speak English? -No, no, very little...
-I don't speak English, but... -What do you want?
I'm going to the toilets over there...
-Could you...? -Stop that. You pervert!
I'm telling you they're this way...!
Shit!
Nice wheels!
What did you expect...?
...I only steal the best!
-ls this Nicolas Bardo? -Speaking.
You took a picture of Mrs. Watts?
Who wants to know?
Leonard Shiff, head of Watts' security.
l'd like to buy it.
Well, l'm sorry, Mr. Shiff, but it's already been sold.
Unsell it. We'll double whatever you got.
That's very generous, but l--
You don't realize who you're dealing with. We know all about you.
Your overdrawn bank account, your criminal record.
l suggest you get that picture back, and you bring it to me...
...at the residence tomorrow morning, 1 1 a.m. sharp.
Don't keep me waiting.
Sir, hold on.
Hello?
Nice going man.
Really.
Thanks for keeping your mouth shut.
They must have offered you some sweet deals to talk.
There was nothing to talk about.
They just asked about the diamonds, of which I knew shit.
Once the insurance paid off, they stopped asking.
That bitch knows.
I thought about her every fucking minute...
...for seven fucking years!
Where...
is she?
Hey, I've been looking. I talked to everyone, I never stopped.
I ran down every scumbag that ever knew her, but so far nothing.
She just vanished off the face of the earth?
Hey, I'm not Interpol, all right!
I've been fucked same as you!
I did a hell of a lot of checking!
I've got one thing, maybe, one thing...
You know that girlfriend of hers?
...the brunette...
She's fencing diamonds.
It's all I've got.
I'll ask you this just once.
Where is she?
Park Bardo in the office until l can get--
Hold on a second.
l don't believe it. This paparazzi scum is wearing a wire.
Make sure it doesn't get past security.
Hold on.
Une minute, pal.
