03x09 - The Death Penalty

Post by bunniefuu »

Marseille is the oldest city in France,

supposedly founded
by the Greeks in B.C.

Since then, it has been a meeting place
for all races of the world,

the port of the seven seas.

And sometimes it is said

that houses the worst criminals
criminals in Europe.

Me? I'm just passing through.

Or at least I was until I got
a French nail in my English tire.

- Are you finished?
- Yes, sir.

- How much do I owe you?
- No charge, sir.

Why not?

Because it is a great honor to exchange
a tire for the famous Simon Templar.

THE HOLY

S E - The Death Penalty

Subtitles by Susanawho

You were very evasive this afternoon, Suza.

I...

I'm sorry, Mr. Osman.

I wanted to talk to you about business.

I was on my way to see you, Mr. Osman,
I swear I was.

How kind of you.

Of course, you understand that
I am in charge.

Yes.

Yes, I am taking over the entire
district from here to Naples.

Sure, I won't give you any trouble,
Mr. Osman.

No, I don't think so.

- Let him go.
- But, Mr. Osman...

Let him go.

You won't regret it, Mr. Osman.

I promise you, I will work for you,
I will do what you say.

You can count on my
my absolute cooperation.

Thank you.

- Who did that?
- That...

Is he dead, sir?

Like a rock.

Was he run over by your car?

No, for a b*llet in the back.

Laura, I bet I can get there in
there in one minute and five seconds.

Well, don't you dare try.

What is the problem?
Coward?

I hate speed, I've said it before.

So we will have to
get her used to it, won't we?

Toby, no!

You are showing off.

- It's fun.
- I hate it!

Slow down!

Toby, please!

Toby, please!

For a short time!
One minute, eight seconds.

- That wasn't so bad!
- Oh, no. I hate it.

It absolutely terrifies me.

And you deliberately,
stupidly, sadistically...

Laura, I'm sorry, I...

Excuse me? You are tiresome,
boring and stupid!

Don't ever talk to me again!

Laura, come back!

You can't walk home,
it's miles.

Look...

You!

Good afternoon!

I would like to point out that
I am not in the habit

of picking up strange girls
on the roads of France.

Unless, of course
are breathtakingly beautiful

and have a bruised foot.

Are you going to the city?

So tell me, nowadays, does anyone
really takes the path of virtue

and walk home after a drive?
after a drive?

Come on, let me give you a ride.

You were very kind.

Please come in and have a drink.

I would love to.

Laura!

What the hell are you doing?

Hi, Dad.
Fighting with Toby.

I want you to meet
the most fascinating man.

He rescued me in the mountains
and brought me home.

And he is kind and selfless and, oh,

what is your name?

- Simon Templar.
- My father, Galbraith Stride.

Mr. Templar?

I know him by reputation.

- Good, I hope.
- Mixed.

But anyway,
you are welcome.

- Thank you.
- Well, now,

what is all this?

Oh, Toby was driving like a maniac.

I hit him in the face and
started to walk home.

Mr. Templar caught me and saved me from

make me a permanent injury.

Oh, gift from heaven.

- Even for the carpet.
- Yes, yes.

Well, give him a drink, Dad.
It's the least we can do.

- What will you have, Mr. Templar?
- A scotch, please.

With... with soda?

With water.

Isn't he sweet?

These are lovely paintings.

Yes, they are good, aren't they?

Van Gogh,

- Constable...
- And that's Utrillo,

- and has the Monet.
- Magnificent.

- And very expensive.
- Sweetheart!

- I was trying to impress you.
- You succeeded.

Aren't you nervous?

About what?

There are so many art thefts
on the Riviera these days.

They are all insured.

I am glad to hear that.
To crime.

Health.

Isn't it better to cancel
your table at Costa Azul?

Why?

Oh, yes, I'm not talking to Toby,
aren't you?

And I can hardly go alone.

Would it be very presumptuous of me
to ask if I can be the second choice?

Oh, isn't he absolutely super?

- Simon, would you?
- Of course.

I will check into the hotel,
take a shower and pick you up at what time?

About : pm?

And you are the coolest
coolest man I have ever met.

Thank you.

Wait!

Ah, the distinguished chief of police,
Colonel Latignant.

- How are you?
- I'm fine, for the moment.

- It's good to see you.
- And you.

Even if your presence in my part of France
of France usually means trouble.

Colonel, I am as innocent as a baby.

Yes.

You caught Galbraith's daughter
Stride this afternoon at the Grand Coniche.

- Is that a crime?
- No!

But it turns out that Mr. Stride
has one of the most valuable

art collections on the Riviera.

Colonel, I can assure you,
I am here on vacation.

Yes, and even on vacation,
witnessed a m*rder.

Yes.

- That poor devil in Marseille.
- Yes.

Did you find out who he was?

His name was Auri Suza,

long criminal record,

known to be a member of
one of the most dangerous

flocks on the Mediterranean coast.

Latini, isn't it?

Do you know about them?

Well, frankly, I am surprised that
that you let them exist.

We don't let them exist.

We cannot break them.

They are incredibly well organized.

Their leaders are in hiding.

Suza managed his crimes in Marseille.

Oh, that's beautiful!

It is yours.

A bribe?

A gift.

Oh, thank you, I accept.

At the same time, I must warn you.

I don't want you to make the law,

the French law, in his own hands.

Make sure that your
your vacation continues without incident.

Well, tonight it will be decided.

Yes.

Trape, don't tell me you are nervous.

Of course not.

Are you ready to go out?

Yes, as soon as Clements
has the figures.

I have been waiting for this for a long time.

And tomorrow...

tomorrow everything will be mine.

Are you done yet?

Yes, almost, sir.

I need those numbers now, Clements!

Who paid and how much?

- You will have them, sir.
- You promised for : , it's : .

Just a few more minutes, sir.

Don't you approve of me taking
the control, Clements?

- It's not for me to say, sir.
- No.

But after tonight,

I will be Latini,

the absolute commander.

You won't find it so easy

as it was in Marseille and Naples.

- Really?
- Well, you are responsible.

Responsible for getting hurt.

Being k*lled you mean.

- Yes.
- Sir!

Yes, sir.

You would like to see me dead,
wouldn't you, Clements?

- Answer me!
- No, no, sir.

How many drinks have you had tonight?

Just one.

You are a liar.

You have five more minutes, that's all.

- With my compliments, Mr. Templar.
- Thank you, Dali.

I must say that it is always a
pleasure to visit your establishment.

I am very pleased to see
that you are doing so well.

Oh, yes. I give the best to
people and charge them accordingly.

I can't complain.

- Please enjoy yourself, Miss Stride.
- Thank you.

What a kind man!
Free champagne.

Yes, and cunning too.

In five years he
built this place from nothing

in the best club
in this part of France.

- Tim-Tim.
- Tim-Tim.

Don't look now, but we are
being followed.

Tell me when I can look.

That's Toby.

- You are happy to see him.
- I am not.

Oh, Laura, you like him, admit it.

He is so young, so immature.

You're not exactly
creaking with age.

I think a woman should marry
a man at least years older.

Oh, he saw us.

Now, don't be too hard on him.

- Good night, Laura.
- Good night, Toby.

I am Simon Templar.

- I am Toby Halidom.
- Will you join us?

- I'm not sure I'm welcome.
- How insightful of you.

Laura, I am sorry for...

- this afternoon.
- You should be.

No, honestly, and I apologize.

I was completely wrong.

- I certainly was.
- Laura, please!

Laura, please forgive me?

Well...

How about some champagne?

Toby doesn't drink.

Oh, congratulations.

But I do.

Toby, it occurs to me that your position

in this battle needs to be consolidated.

I need something.

If I may make a suggestion,
why don't you ask Laura to dance?

I am afraid it is impossible.

You see, this afternoon I had
a long walk home

and my feet are so sore that
I couldn't dance with anyone

for a long period of time.

Come on, Laura, you can't stay
angry with me forever.

No, I suppose not.

Excuse me, Simon.

There must be some mistake.

No, there is no mistake, Mr. Dali.

But I have already paid , francs,

my debts in full for six months.

That is very unfortunate, Mr. Dali.

I'm sorry, but look,

these accounting errors,
invariably appear when

- there are management changes.
- Changes?

Yes.

As of tonight, I am the head
of Latini in full command.

Your previous payment
is ... how should I put it?

Overruled.

Are you asking me to pay again?

I am not asking, I am commanding.

- But this is extortion!
- Yes.

- It's not fair!
- No.

I can't pay.
I won't!

Pierre?

Did you see three men enter
into Mr. Dali's office now?

- Yes, Mr. Templar.
- Do you know who they were?

I don't know, sir.

Thank you.

Now listen, Dali.

If you want to walk out that door,
in one piece, you will pay me.

Otherwise, you will have problems.

Just a little something in the cream,

and customers who drink coffee with cream

They are going to get very, very sick.

Yes.

And food poisoning invariably
results in lawsuits.

Do you understand, Dali?

I think he understands.

But he doesn't agree.
Right, Dali?

Trape!

Are you going somewhere?

From there, I have a complaint.

My champagne.

It has a slight cork flavor,

not sharp, but sharp enough
to ruin the bouquet.

Would you mind
giving your personal attention?

Tell him to get out, Dali.

I think you'd better go.

Surely, you are not ignoring
my complaint?

Skirt.

You know, Dali, you really should be careful
about the guys you let in here.

It gives the place a bad name.

Wait.

My friend,

You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into.

It would be very wise if you
went out quietly, you know?

Dali, my champagne, please.

Yes, Mr. Templar.

Templar?

- Did you remember?
- Remembered what?

We met last night
in Marseille,

when you sh*t Auri Suza.

- Don't be so silly.
- You heard what he said.

There is a time and a place for everything.

The next time we meet
Mr. Templar,

things will be different.

Mr. Templar, I'm sorry.

I know you just want to help me,

But these men are dangerous.

Well, Dali, I can be
a little dangerous.

I'll tell you, then we'll talk,
when the club is closed.

Great.

Was it something he drank?

Simon! We thought
you had left.

- Oh, is that what you wished for?
- Of course not.

Well, since you two
have made up,

- may prefer to be alone.
- Not at all.

- Toby?
- Well, I... I...

- Do you understand?
- No! You invited me to dinner

And you can't go back now.

Dad was a witness.
Sit down.

Good evening, Stride.

I told you never to come here

under any circumstances.

But I have something
important to tell you.

Nothing is that important.

My professional life is
totally separate from this house

and my daughter.

Oh yes, Laura.

I had almost forgotten
that she existed.

- How old is she now?
- That is none of your business.

, ? She must be
fully grown.

Osman, get this straight.

I put you where you are,
because you are useful.

You are not indispensable.

It is a matter of opinion.

There are a dozen men
ready to take your place.

And your place?

What do you mean?

It is very simple, Stride.

You ended up as the head of the Latini.

However,

for old times' sake,

I will give you the chance
to retire gracefully.

You are out of your mind.

Or else, he is drunk.

Oh no, I am very moderate
in my consumption of alcohol.

Moderation is very important
in drinks, women, everything.

Are you seriously implying
that you can take over the Latini?

I already did.

Don't be absurd.

There are Rossi's in Sicily,

Barbello in Naples,

Suza in Marseille.

They will k*ll him.

Yes, yes, that occurred to me.

Have you heard about any of them lately?

Yes, I spoke with Suza yesterday morning.

Yes,

probably his
last phone conversation.

What do you mean?

I sh*t Suza last night.

You know, it's an excellent cognac.

Toby?

I don't know how I'm going to tell you this, but

you are very kind and very nice,

but I'm not going to marry you.

Why?

I suppose I want a man
man who is exciting.

And I'm boring, is that it?

Good evening, Toby.

Laura?

Laura, I love you.

You will get over it.

Yes, we will provide a
percentage to you,

a small one, of course.

I think you know that
will start a w*r of revenge

that will destroy the entire organization?

I have plans to
develop Malta and Cyprus,

about which you know nothing.

How could I deal with it?

Oh, I am a very diligent student.

Hello, Daddy.

- Am I interrupting?
- Yes, dear, we were...

Well, we were discussing
some business.

- I'm sorry.
- Aren't you Laura?

Isn't that little Laura?

- Don't you remember me?
- Well, no. Should I?

No, my dear,
of course you shouldn't.

The last time I saw you, you were
wearing the most horrible school uniform,

black socks and the most
terrifying straw hat.

Oh, that uniform. Creepy.

Galbraith,

she is charming.

And very beautiful.

- Thank you, Sir?
- Osman. Abdul Osman.

And please don't go away.

I haven't seen her for years.

Well, if you are sure that
I'm not disturbing you...

No, no, no, of course not.

- We finished our business.
- Yes, we are done.

Oh, by the way,
when can I expect your decision?

- You have had it.
- Maybe you will change your mind.

He never changes, Mr. Osman.

There is a first time for everything.

- Will you be here long?
- Just a few days.

Where are you staying?

On my yacht, the "Luxor",
you must have seen.

Oh, not the great white
who docked in the bay?

Yes, that's right.

We passed by
tonight. It is magnificent!

Would you like to see it?

But I would love to.

Perhaps you would like to have lunch on board tomorrow.

Now, look here, Osman.

Oh, you too, of course, Galbraith.

It's obvious.

Thanks, I have an appointment.

Well, I don't and I would love to.

- Laura!
- Splendid!

A person will come to pick you up
in the bay at noon

- Is it convenient?
- I'm looking forward to it.

Great.

And now, Laura, you must tell me
all about you.

What have you been doing
in these years?

Very simple.

Latini is a t*rror1st organization.

- I pay , a month.
- , a year.

Yes.

It's cheap for what I get in return.

What do you get in return?

- They don't molest me.
- I understand.

- And Osman?
- I don't know.

He must be a high official.

He claims to be taking control.

Of course, I don't know who the boss is.

No one has ever seen it.

Every three months,
a man comes and I pay him.

I can pay.

From there, it's extortion.

My friend, I know you want
only the best.

I would like to help.

It may help better if you don't interfere.

This restaurant is my
life. I don't want to lose it.

Well, Dali, if that's the way you want it.

- Good evening.
- Good night.

No!

With my compliments.

Thank you.
See you around.

There he is.

It was time.

Now we got him.

Come on, cheer up, Toby.

You know what they say
about the way of true love.

Thank you.

I just don't know how to deal with Laura,
that's all.

- Try to give her a good b*ating.
- Oh, great!

- Women like to be dominated.
- Yes, I am not the type.

Today she is with a guy on a yacht.

Partner in her father's business
her father's business. A guy named Osman.

Osman?

Yes, do you know him?

Yes, we met briefly.

You said he is her father's partner?

Yes.

Absolutely filthy rich.

And I'm sure, rotten without it.

My dear Laura,

- how beautiful you look.
- Thank you.

I planned the whole day.

- Do you mind?
- Not at all.

You have no idea
how much I longed for this.

Ah, it's so easy, isn't it?

Too easy.

This was one of the best days
of my life.

I am happy.

Sorry.

- Regrets?
- That it's over.

Well, it's not over yet.

Excuse me, sir, they are calling
on the telephone from the coast of Marseille.

Thank you, Trape.

A business call
that I had been expecting.

- Excuse me?
- Well, don't be long.

No.

- Miss Stride.
- Hello, Mr. Clements.

Well, if he doesn't pay,
take the usual steps.

Exactly what are you going to tell me?

Well, you see, I have ruined my life.

- The reason is...
- Clements!

May I speak to you for a moment, please?

Yes, sir.

Close the door, Clements.

If you ever interfere with what
what I am doing, I will k*ll you.

Something wrong?

Wrong?

Mr. Clements looked strange.

Oh, he is a tragedy, my dear.

You see, he is drunk practically
all the time.

I wish I could help you.

Look, let's forget about Clements.

We have the whole night ahead of us.

No, Toby.

Don't do anything.

I will deal with this in my own way,
if you don't mind.

Abdul?

- You said there might be other days.
- Yes.

Tomorrow?

They will pick you up at : noon.

I...

I enjoyed every second of today.

Me too.

And I hate to say good night.

Daddy!

Still awake?

- Did you have fun?
- Wonderful!

He is absolutely charming.

In fact, he is the most
most fascinating man I have ever met.

Laura, dear,

- I never interfere in your life, do I?
- No.

But I would like to ask you a favor.

Yes?

Please don't see Osman again.

Are you serious?

- A lot.
- Why?

Because, honey, I beg you not to.

I don't understand.

After all, you are not exactly
picky with friends.

That is not the point.
You must have

some reason to ask me for this.

- Yes, I have.
- Well, what is it?

Laura, you are not as
sophisticated as you think, you know.

Now, please take my word for it.
Do not see this man again.

Why?

Don't keep questioning all the time!

- But it's so irrational!
- It's not.

Well, I think it is.

So you better just
do what I say.

Daddy, I'm not six years old,
for God's sake!

- And don't be insolent!
- Insolent?

Out of the blue, you do this nonsense,
demanding that I...

- That's not absurd.
- It is to me.

What's wrong with it?
anyway? He is your friend, isn't he?

He told me today that every penny
he earned, he owes to the Lord.

Abdul Osman is a bad man,
depraved man.

- Then why are you so close to him?
- I am not.

- I met him in this house.
- He was here on business.

Exactly what
is so terrible about him?

Oh, he's very smart, I know that.

Charming, sophisticated,
glamorous for you, no doubt.

And I know perfectly well
what he did to you.

Did you?

Yes, I saw her in the car,
letting him kiss her

and play it like any other.

How dare you say something like that?

He kissed her, I saw him.

He kissed me because I wanted to.

I practically threw myself into it.

Look, you don't understand, he's short,

vulgar and despicable.

And I forbid you to see him again!

Forbid it?

Oh, Papa, don't be so silly!

Laura, you will not see him again, do you understand?

That is an order!

Why didn't you tell him the truth?

What do you mean?

I am talking about hearing him play the despot father.

Please leave!

On the other hand, if you tell him
the truth about Osman,

you will have to admit
that you are the boss of the Latini.

- I can't.
- You must.

Never!

Stride, young people don't
have many idols nowadays.

Laura loves you.

I hate to see her disappointed,

but...

I'll get you and Osman.

And if Laura gets hurt in the process,
it's hopeless.

So, what happens next?

I don't have much choice.

Go ahead.

And that is the difference
between you and Osman.

He would have pulled the trigger.

Here it comes.

I told him to come alone.

My dear Stride, don't be absurd.

You selected this place
desert for a meeting

and expects me to be unprotected?

Now get to the point.

Well, I am prepared
to make certain concessions.

Very clever.

- But under two conditions.
- Which are?

One: let it go at once.

I will leave tonight.

What is the second one?

May I never see Laura again.

But Stride,

she is charming.

- And don't mention her.
- I can't help it.

I might even fall in love with her.

You will never see her again.
Do you understand?

Ah, but in that case,
I need to find someone to have fun with.

Well, then,

what are these concessions?

You can have all the territories
in the Middle East and North Africa.

- Keep going.
- That's all.

- You are joking.
- That's all! Do you understand?

You are history, Stride!

You are old and incompetent!

Most Latini follow me now

- and I want the rest of them!
- Never!

For old times' sake,
I prefer that nothing happens to you,

but if need be,

I will give the order and you will die!
Drive!

Laura, I suppose we're going swimming

and have lunch afterwards at the beach club?

I've been to the beach club
three times this week.

The same boring people.

- And what do you want to do?
- I don't know.

You invited yourself here,
thus suggesting something.

Your problem is that you have been
been unpleasant because your father

- won't let her see Osmand.
- Don't be stupid.

Go on, admit it, you like the man.

What if I like it?

Well, he is vulgar, vain and slippery.

- I find him charming.
- Then he has the strangest taste in men.

I don't see that it is any of your business.

- And Simon Templar agrees with me.
- Oh, he does?

I assume you are
discussing this with everyone?

And his father agrees.
Osman is a pig!

Well, at least he doesn't
bore me to death.

- And I do, is that it?
- Frankly, yes, to the point of madness.

Well, there's no sense in me staying, is there?

Exactly.

I will go to Mr. Osman's yacht for
a civilized adult conversation.

- She's not coming.
- Please, sir...

And just once, could you show up
without a drink in your hand?

Clements, I had enough for one day.

- Laura!
- Hello.

You are early.

- Do you care?
- Mind? Of course not. I'm delighted.

I will prepare some drinks for us.

Laura?

Laura?

I am sorry, sir,
Miss Laura has left.

- Where?
- I don't know, sir.

- But is she with Mr. Toby?
- Oh, no, sir.

They had a fight.
A very ugly one.

Miss Laura went out alone.

I understand.

Thank you, Janete.

Good,

I planned another perfect day.

Oh, yeah?

She doesn't seem very enthusiastic.

Oh, sorry. I was thinking
thinking about something else.

In fact, I almost didn't come today.

Wouldn't you come?

Dad didn't want to.

But why?

For some ridiculous reason,
he doesn't seem to approve of it.

And he is very wise too.

I am a very despicable guy.

Are you?

Completely.

Excuse me for a moment?

- Are you finished?
- Yes.

Yes, it must be done.

Now, hand it over to Stride immediately.

Make him understand that
we will leave at nine, with Laura.

- All right, sir.
- And Clements?

Stay sober.

You will live longer.

Are you telling me the truth?

- Is she on board?
- Yes, sir.

Does she know anything?

Well, not yet, sir.

Oh, I tried to warn her against it.

Well, you see, Clements,

she doesn't know what I am.

All right, you can go.

What should I tell him, sir?

Tell him to remember
remember John Paul Jones.

I... I don't understand.

I haven't started fighting yet.

Unless Mr. Stride gives in,
Osman leaves tonight at : pm.

With Laura?

- Yes.
- Where?

I don't know, I...

Will Stride capitulate?

I'm not sure.
I doubt it.

What made you come to me?

Mr. Osman considers you a very dangerous
very dangerous enemy, so I

- I thought you could help.
- I will.

Mr. Templar,

if he finds out I've come to see him, he'll...

he is going to k*ll me.

Where the hell have you been?
What took you so long?

- Well, I...
- Have you seen Stride?

Yes, sir.

Does he understand what is going to happen, unless
unless he's on board by nine?

I think so, sir.

- Will he come?
- Well, I...

I'm not sure, sir.

Well, we still have two more hours.

Sorry for this interruption,
my dear. Business.

Everything is fine.

Abdul, that was a lovely dinner,
but I think I should go now.

Daddy will worry.

But it is early.

Please call the boat,
I must go now.

This is very unfortunate.

- How?
- My dear Laura,

you are a very beautiful girl,
but you are incredibly stupid.

You are here simply
as a pawn.

- When my father hears...
- Your father will do as he is told.

You too.
Have a seat.

Still there. No sign of Stride,
for now.

How can she live with
with her father and not even suspect?

He made sure that
she didn't know.

Come on, we can't wait any longer.

- Is the boat ready?
- Yes, everything is ready.

- Have you ever used one of these?
- No, never.

- You won.
- And you?

I'll get caught, remember?

Let me come on board with you.

No, I'll go first,
create a distraction.

Now, get under this tarp.

Hi, "Luxor"!

I'm coming aboard!

- It is not Stride.
- It is Templar.

And he is alone.

There,

only men to board Osman's
board Osman's yacht.

- Please.
- But, Mr. Stride ,

I don't work for you anymore.

Oh, lovely way to welcome
the admiral on board, isn't it?

Well, what did you expect?

Exactly what I am getting.

Bring it in.

Mr. Templar, I admire your courage,

but it baffles me.

What do you hope to achieve
by getting on my boat?

- To see him dead.
- An impossible ambition.

- Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
- Simon?

What does it all mean?

It means that Abdul has earned his money

with every conceivable vice and crime

under the wreckage of more human
human lives than you could ever imagine.

You weren't really attracted
to him, right?

Yes.

Well, I suppose a girl is entitled to make a mistake
right to make a mistake once in a while.

You need a lesson in manners.

Go ahead, professor.

Lock him up!

And the girl!

Did the school close today?

What did Templar hope to achieve?

I don't know, sir.

How did he know Laura was here?

And even if I did,

why would he suspect
that she was in danger?

I have no idea, sir.

Well, never mind.

I don't think Stride is coming.

Tell Trape that we will be leaving
as soon as possible.

Sorry for the delay, gentlemen.

So you decided to cooperate.

- Where is Laura?
- She is very safe.

Well, I want to see it.

I will send you ashore as soon as we settle our
we settle our business.

But please,

Let's behave like gentlemen.

- Did you have any problems?
- No, not yet.

- You're all right, Laura.
- Yes.

Here, quickly.

Look, I refuse to discuss
anything with a g*n.

I will grant everything.

Here is the letter you asked for.

- Oh, you are very generous.
- Now,

I want to see Laura.

I will call her. Oh, please,
put that g*n away.

That's better.

Now, let's drink to that.
Cognac?

Yes, that should satisfy everyone.

Except for me.

Lock the door.

Tell Colonel Latignant that
he will need at least six men.

Right.

And tell him to hurry up.

- Simon, I don't like to leave you here.
- Do what I told you.

- Tell Laura as little as possible.
- Right.

You gave me your word.

My dear Stride,

since when does your word or
mine mean anything?

It means that the police
will be here soon.

We must hide the body.

We could make it look like
legitimate defense.

Don't be so stupid,
his g*n was not fired.

Oh, let's fix that.

Here.

He was sitting at the table.

Just to make things
seem realistic.

That's very clever of you, Clements.
of you, Clements.

And just to be absolutely sure...

Mr. Osman?

It's the girl, she's gone!
Mr. Osman!

Osman, open up!

I couldn't stop them, Mr. Templar.
They sh*t each other.

So many tributes...

- So many people loved him.
- Yes, Miss Stride.

Your father will be remembered with respect.

I think it's a wise decision
wise decision on your part, Laura,

close the house and leave for a while.

We should leave soon
if we're going to take that plane.

- Good-bye, Simon.
- Laura.

Goodbye.

What about Clements?

In the hospital.
Acute cirrhosis of the liver.

He will not live longer than a month.

Thank you, Colonel, it was kind of you
to let you keep your father's illusion.

What's the point in destroying
the memories of a young girl?

None.

After all, Osman and Stride paid
the death penalty.
