[bunniefuu]

- Go out ! We are moving!

Go!

Intriguing music



- Come on! Come on, come on!

Hurry!



Whistle blows

Step aside !

You mustn't hang around here, sir!

You see

that you are obstructing traffic!

We are moving!

- I have an appointment with the prefect.

- You don't read the papers?

He just got heavy.

It seems that the next one

is older than the old one.

- What is your name ?



Soft music



Tearing of paper

- A problem ?

- We must correct the breasts,

they hang down.

- This is not the opinion of everyone.

- Do not move.

A bell rings.

- Too late !

I expect the visit.

In the absence of a model,

use your memory.

A door closes.

- Membership of the Anti-Semitic League

requires sponsorship of a member.

Madame la Comtesse de Vaudois

will be your godmother.

Once in the square,

you will need to get closer to

the leaders of the League:

the Guérin brothers,

MP Drumont.

- There is a charge for membership, I suppose?

I am not paid,

as a snitch?

- She's lovely.

Naive, but charming.

- The countess will pay your membership fee.

- But that's very kind of him.

Have you been a snitch for a long time?

- Eight years. It's a record.

Little laugh

- What fable am I going to tell?

What motivates my membership?

- The truth.

You were Félix Faure's mistress.

You are venal, unscrupulous,

you have stories to sell.

- "The Jews secretly indulge in

bloody and murderous rites.

"The dismemberment of the body

and the collection of blood

"are part

of their ancestral traditions.

"You only have to look at

the k*ller K*llers that we leave behind

"take action at the slaughterhouses of La Villette.

"These, unlike

the brave French K*llers,

"do not knock out the beast. No!

"They k*ll kosher, you see…"

- And they don't just k*ll beasts.

- "They k*ll kosher, you see

"And they don't just k*ll beasts."

It's better.

Thanks Mom.

"The police know, of course,

"of all the crimes of the kites.

"And, ask our readers,

"what is the prefecture doing?"

Tension music

(- I couldn't have known.)

(It's not fair.)

- "Instead of investigating

real criminals,

"our police

cowardly m*rder a patriot,

"long-standing anti-Semite,

"official

at the Ministry of the Interior,

"who was about to reveal the secrets

"of the Dreyfusard clique

which governs us."

- The bloody suitcase!

- "Rest in peace, Alphonse Chagnolle,

"because your death will not go unpunished.

'The Anti-Jew investigates for the truth,

"for justice, for France."

- 10 cents only!

You will know all about the plot!



- It is impossible for me,

under the current circumstances,

to confirm whether the cut woman is,

yes or no, Hélène Chagnolle.

Age and physiognomy correspond.

That's all I can say.

- You could have taken the fingerprints

at home

to compare them

with those of the victim.

- I could have,

if 15 police officers hadn't put

their fingerprints everywhere.

I told you

to discipline your men.

The scientific accuracy

of fingerprinting remains to be proven.

Bertillonage does not lie,

but the footprints

Science is progressing,

but it has its limits.

- You had no such scruples

in condemning Dreyfus.

- I will not allow you!

The graphologie,

unlike fingerprinting,

is accurate.

Dreyfus is guilty, I say it!

- Under oath ?

- A little calm, please.

The press is awaiting my statement.

Mr. Puybaraud, your opinion?

- Our interest is obvious.

A victim, a m*rder*r,

a dead police officer

to be decorated posthumously.

Case closed.

- Two cases, two victims:

Hélène Chagnolle and an unknown woman.

- Theory of curator Cochefert

which only engages him.

- M. Chagnolle

sent a trunk to Brussels.

I contacted the postal services

to get her back here.

It would be unwise to file the investigation

before it is opened.

If as I think,

Hélène Chagnolle

is in this trunk,

you would look thin

- Is.

Bring in Inspector Jouin.

A door opens.

- Inspector Antoine Jouin.

He blows.

Calm music



- The prefect takes the blue room,

I take the one adjoining the boudoir.

This gramophone is mine. Put it here.



- Young man, we were wondering

if you are a hero or an idiot.

Until I make a decision,

do you have anything to say?

- Yes.

I am responsible

for the deaths of 3 people.

Out of weakness, I left Madame Chagnolle

at the mercy of her husband.

Recklessly, I caused the death

of Inspector Morpinet.

As for Alphonse Chagnolle,

he did not commit suicide.

I disarmed him

and k*lled him with his g*n.

I am prepared

to pay the price for my crime.

He's laughing.



Bertillon laughs softly.

- Inspectors Morpinet and Jouin

have, risking their lives,

attempt to apprehend a m*rder*r.

Alphonse Chagnolle was guilty

of the murders of his wife

and, during a

dramatic arrest , Inspector Morpinet.

As for the ongoing investigation into

the unknown woman,

which you call

"the bloody suitcase case",

it remains open.

Hubbub

- The Prefect will not reveal anything

about the current investigation.

He will not comment

on political news.



Please !

Mr. the Prefect has a statement to make.

- Gentlemen,

we are going to enter the twentieth century.

Our society needs

a modern, efficient police force,

endowed with adequate means

to defend our fellow citizens

at any time.

This is a telephone device,

also called "telephone".

We talk here, we listen there.

The use is familiar to you,

there are some in your writing,

maybe even at home.

There will be a device of this kind

in every police station in Paris.

and in each department of the prefecture.

A free telephone number

will be made public.

A special service, called "standard",

will be available day and night

to answer this number.

It is very simple.

You need help ?

Call the police.

Hubbub

A woman speaks German.

- Your land no longer belongs to you.

She translates into German.

- Jeanne Chauvin?

- Yes ?

I remind you of the law.

You claimed to be a lawyer.

It is forbidden to women.

The ill*gal exercise of

- Inspector!

I am a lawyer.

Albert Weidmann,

registered with the Paris bar.

Miss Chauvin, who had her master

's degree in law with honors,

works for me.

- She doesn't say that

when she insults the police.

Morpinet, do you remember?

You insulted him,

he died on duty.

- I'm sorry.

- Let's go…

She meant that she would

soon be a lawyer, as soon as the law

- A retrograde Senate

will not silence me!

- Continue and I'll take you on.

- Pardon ?

- Please

don't make a fool of yourself.

- I get it.

The inspector gives me the blow with

the armed wing of the law.

The policeman impresses the girl,

he threatens her and he consoles her

when they go for a drink.

Do you do this often?

- It's… It's not at all…

- Try something else, Inspector.

I do not know…

A bouquet of flowers.

The phone is ringing.





Cabinet Weidmann ?

Intriguing music



- She looks delighted, the damsel.

Laughs

- And there,

we don't know which way to look.

- No, but how many are there?

Talk about gymnastics!



- A hell of a pig, this Morpinet.

It is the most beautiful collection

of the whole prefecture.

Hey ! He was carrying out funny investigations,

your sidekick.

- Piss-cold!

- Transferred,

he passes for a hero.

No, but we think we are dreaming!

- There is no justice.

We get a drunk medal,

and we congratulate her cute.

To laugh

Come on, rinse your eye! Peasant, go!

Panting breathing

- Fiersi!

Intriguing music



You're hot-blooded, Inspector.

I doubt

that Commissioner Cochefert appreciates.

A door closes.

Mixed voices



- Chandrot, report! The suitcase ?

- It's a common model.

The price varies from 6.90 francs

to 8.90 francs.

They can be found

at Galeries Lafayette, at the Grand Bazar

and in a hundred other shops.

A door opens.

- You want to atone for your faults?

Do it at home.

Buy yourself a swift.

If you do it again, I'll f*ck you.

A victim remains to be identified.

First track:

Berger Joséphine,

missing for a week.

Incomplete report, neither tail nor head.

Archives, the garnis, criminal record,

last known address.

Do you have something to tell me?

Go to work !

- Joséphine Shepherd?

Unknown to our services.

No arrest, no Bertillonage,

no file.

Nothing.

Intriguing music



- Joséphine Shepherd

Do you have a borough?

- No.

- You're in no hurry?

Tenants are sorted by name,

but filled by neighborhood.

10 per district.

You will search 200 times.

Good luck.



- This little brat

deserves a lesson, I agree,

but do it discreetly.

Where are you at

with Pompe Funèbre?

- It's this evening,

rue Chabrol. I'll be there too.

- There will be some commotion.

A bunch of anarchists

want to invite themselves to the meeting.

I let it happen.

The more mess the better

for Pompe Funèbre.

- Including.

- What is bothering you?

- Cochefert's investigation.

I saw the list

of missing women,

I spotted a name:

that of the Hirondelle.

- Pretty girl ?

Inactive for a while, right?

- Two years.

Locked up in Saint-Lazare.

I had forgotten her, but

We don't want to know if it's her

in the trunk?

She had a friend, Émile Terrail,

a butcher, a big arm of the Guérins.

- You're going to meet him tonight,

ask him for news.

- The Jewish work,

it's the flag

rolled in the mud!

The crowd nods.

It is France humiliated and divided!

- Drumont is brilliant.

Have you read Jewish France ?

Meg acquiesces.

- It is the patriot who is m*rder*d

and the traitor we release!

- Ugly, avarice, ambition

He attributed all of his own faults

to the Jews.

- Well seen !

- Death to the Jews!

Long live the army!

Applause



- Hi, Mimile.

- Inspector.

- You're a star at the slaughterhouses.

A k*ller of oxen.

It's degrading to work with a pig.

- They give me, I cut.

- Cut me a cute one.

- That will be all ?

- No.

I'm looking for a friend of yours,

Joséphine Berger.

You were pretty close.

- Not seen for a while.

I have no news.

- Don't cut yourself, go.

Don't you know where she nurses?

- No.

I didn't even know

she was out.

Here.

- You are the pig, Guérin!

La foule protests.

- Who just spoke?



Who just insulted me?

- It's me.

Sébastien Faure.



- My friends,

anarchy is there,

tonight !



Are we going to let them insult us?

- NOT !

- Come get me !



- Go get the reinforcements.

- Mom's son.

Disturbing music



- Come ! Stand back!



- Step aside !

Let Mr. Deputy go through!

- Mr. Deputy!

- But get me out of here!

- Help me, Mr. Deputy!

Save me, I beg of you!

Panting breaths



- I never should have come.

The omens were bad.

Mars aligned with Saturn is not good.



- Your panache, later,

the accuracy of your writings,

you stole my soul!

Feel!

Feel how my heart races

in your presence.

Panting breaths



- Your mail.

- Ah thank you.

What does yours say?

Do the usual solicitors

already call on you?

- Some favors

Mostly insults.

It seems that you are being considered

like an "old man on the way back,

in the pay of a clique of Dreyfusards".

- Have a good day.

Creaking door

- The suitcase was fished out here.

The corpse spent less than 3 hours

in the water.

However, the current of the Seine is

on average 1.6 kilometers per hour,

which means that the assassin threw

the body from one of these 3 bridges.

Intriguing music



Each of these numbered suitcases

contains 23 kilos of sheep.

Inexpensive meat

and very close to human flesh.

At 9 a.m. sharp,

they will be dropped into the Seine

from one of these bridges.

Jouin and I will be at the reception.

We will see which one arrives safely.

Questions ? Yes ?

- Can we get the barbecue?

Laughs

My wife loves lamb.



- Your missing person

Have you accommodated her?

- I peeled the garnishes

of six arrondissements. Another 14.

I will go back there.

If we find your bridge, will

we crisscross the neighborhood?

"Haven't you seen a man

with a suitcase?"

- Police work,

the real work of the police,

is inherently frustrating.

Patience, meticulousness!

We do not give in to our desires for violence.

And you become an investigator.

Cri

Disturbing music





- I shod Drumont.

This little goat dreams that I will do him

the same favor as Felix.

He believes he has a stronger heart.

He's going to have a meeting

with the Guérins for me.

My story interests them.

- Jules Guérin is a bittern

full of himself.

You will please him.

Pay attention to his brother.

Scary music



- My darling, we will not be long!

- Gentlemen, we are making progress!

Following the recovery

of suitcase number 3

and the neighborhood squaring

carried out by our inspectors,

we have a 1st witness

who saw pass

on the right bank of the Pont Neuf,

a man with 2 suitcases.

30 minutes later,

on the other side,

the driver of tram number 7

spotted a man

with just one suitcase.

The assassin came from there.

The a pris le tramway

here.

It is unknown where he went.

I note that line number 7 serves

the slaughterhouses of La Villette

and that our man

is potentially a butcher.

No one travels more than a kilometer

with a 53 kilogram corpse.

It is within this area

that the scene of the crime is located.

(- Excuse me.)

- Yes, good… Jouin!

We need you in anthropometry.

- Good.

Hubbub



Sad music



- Gentlemen.



- Hélène Chagnolle.



He lights a cigarette.



- Buy my bouquet!

It's 2 cents.

Buy my bouquet!

- Come on, kid, go!

Not on the stairs

Footsteps are approaching.

Little cries



Jerky breathing



Sinister music



Cough





A baby is crying.

He takes a deep breath.

- Thank you for the filet mignon.

Kiss

- A public meeting,

authorized by the prefecture,

sacked by anarchists.

This is an opportunity

to show firmness.

- So you are advocating a raid

Against who ?

The anarchists

or the Guérins and their League?

- I suppose the Prefect is joking.

Anarchy…

- Is your croquemitaine, I know.

"Tremble, the bombers

are not far away!"

The stuff is worn out, old man.

After the repression, anarchists

would threaten the Republic?

- I am fighting against sedition, sir.

You prefer to distract the press

with your phone.

Our men don't want to be contacted

all the time.

The police don't like

to feel watched.

- Do you know why

you will never be in my shoes?

In 50 or 100 years,

when your name is forgotten by all,

that mine

will only be a note in the manuals,

there will always be telephones

in the police stations.

You don't have a sense of history.

- My dear, congratulations!

You are back at the top.

Your husband, associated with this government

- And Algeria, what was it like?

- Hot.

Laughs



- Mr. Lépine

has had some difficult times.

The pogroms, the return to France

He was wrong to defend the Jews.

A man of his experience

- My husband was governor general.

He did what he thought was right.

I was happy

to return.

- I went to listen to

the deputy Drumont

among the anti-Semites in the rue Chabrol.

Very tonic!

Very funny !

And these butchers from La Villette,

so manly

- Were there any overflows?

- It was bloody.

I loved !



- This Dreyfus affair is driving

them all mad.

- Me, she gives me a headache.

- To you too?

I have a headache.

- Let's put on some music

to clear our minds.

- Gladly !

Upbeat classical music



- Chopin, I love it!



(- You allow ?)



She is blowing.



- Aren't you one of us?



She laughs.



Laughs



Meow

He sighs.

Intriguing music



- Josephine Berger?

You know, people go by fast.

- It's in your registry.

You have taken over the premises

for non-payment of rent.

- Ah yes !

Surely.

I am in good standing.

We leave without paying,

I wait for the legal deadline,

I empty the premises and I rent again.

We forget things, I put everything

in Mont-de-Piété. This is the custom.

- Can we look at his room?

Your name ?

- Gustave Pertaud.

-

How long have you been renting this room ?

- Last Saturday.

That's mine !

I am a

medical equipment representative .

- Did you notice anything

when you arrived?

- No nothing.

All the garnishes are alike.

But you should ask the neighbors,

because they have been there

longer.

Babbling



- We didn't know her.

We have nothing to tell you.

- You

reported the disappearance.

You were scared

and did not give your name.

At night, he

babysits the kids while you type.

Either I take you on as a rebel,

either you tell me what you know.

- She asked us

to babysit Matthias.

Just for one night.

But she never came back.

- Joséphine Berger, single mother,

seen shortly before the m*rder.

Neighbors say

she adored her son.

Would she have abandoned him?

- The child?

- Public assistance.

His personal effects,

which his owner had kept.

- So, two worn dresses, patched together,

small linen, sewing kit,

a brush,

two books, one bible

and a copy of Tristan and Iseut,

autographed: "To my Swallow,

"I would have liked to fly with you."

Family photography in frame,

a woman and a child.

- Josephine and her mother.

Few people have touched the cliché.

We can take the prints

and compare them with those of the dead woman.

- Bournazel!

- Professor?

- Fingerprinting.

Oh, oh !

The tissue !

By the handkerchief, please!

Ah! Two letters.

Sender: Adélaïde Berger,

residing in Bischoffsheim, Alsace.

They are in German.

- I have someone to translate them.

Commissioner…

The neighbor told me

that Joséphine had a friend or lover, a

butcher in La Villette.

A certain Mimile,

no last name.

- The butchers are a political group

in their own right,

and therefore,

listed by the prefecture.

I want the files

of all the butchers answering

the first name of Émile or Émilien.

- Well sir.

Meuglement



- You sang!

- You sang!



- It's okay !

It's coming ! Two seconds !

- You sang! You sang!

- Hello, Inspector.

- A bucket, Inspector?

Intriguing music



- Émile Terrail? Scald 7.

He's finished in 5 minutes.

Meuglements

He blows.

- Shall we have a drink?

- Yeah, I'll join you.

Screams of pain





Cough





- Sorry, Mimile. You're too tough

to be given a chance.

- I did not do anything.

- You lied to me.

I told you about Josephine,

you were afraid.

You know what happened to him.

She's dead, isn't she?

Did you cut it?

- You're nuts.

I loved her, me, this little one.

She was beautiful.

She was resourceful.

- Continue.

- She told me you betrayed her.

She had sex for 2 years in Saint-Lazare.

- So you saw her again.

When?

- 3 weeks ago.

I almost didn't recognize her.

She was blackmailing someone.

Surely a rupine.

She asked him for a jackpot.

She offered me 5,000 francs

to keep her company.

I went there, yes!

But not for the money,

for her.

I saw her come in, but not come out.

The next day

I returned home,

more people.

- Give me a name.

- I have an address, nothing else.

When you know it,

you'll find the guy.

Josephine gave me this key.

Dismal music

5,000 francs

and I tell you what it opens.



- Félix was opposed to Dreyfus' return.

He often told me.

Living with him, there would be no review

of the trial.

He was blocking the road.

- Did we k*ll him?

- I do not know but…

I know he feared for his life.

And now that he's dead

Dreyfus will come back.

I also know that my lover, however

strong he is,

sometimes took

tonics

to guarantee his virility.

On the day of his death, he took it.

And the doctor who prescribed him

- Was Jewish, wasn't he?

Here is the plot, the assassination!

- Aphrodisiacs?

You can not make that up.

I wouldn't need it

for a real cutie.

Throat clearing

I believe her, mom.

- Louis ?

- The story is beautiful, yes,

but the source is questionable.

I find it hard to buy your conversion to the anti-Semitic cause .

- You are not buying my membership,

but a story.

And…

if the price is right,

there will be others.

- You have no shame.

- And besides, she's naughty.

Drumont ?

It was you

who brought us the damsel.

Now I know why.

But does this fatal mouth

is reliable?

- There is only one way

absolutely foolproof to verify.

Let's question Félix Faure.

- Spiritualism? Really ?

- You don't believe in anything, do you?

Do you think

your cynicism is protecting you?

My dear,

we are going to open your eyes.

- Because the hydra with a hundred faces

will open its hundred gaping mouths

and all will utter a howl.

To this call

the hungry beasts will answer,

came to devour the sons of the innocent.

- Dreyfus…

The beast.

- And facing the apocalypse horde,

all the brave will rise up.

A man we hoped for more

will return,

and this one will wear a crown.

- Le roi,

back in France.

- And behind this man,

an armada will be formed,

so that justice triumphs.

- The union of leagues!

Archangel Gabriel,

is this your message?

Guide us on the path of truth.

- Enough !

Oh, spirits of the dead!

Hear my call.

She takes a deep breath.





Oh Lord of Limbo!

Send the one whose name I am going to name.

Felix Faure.

(- Meg, is that you?)

(Honey, I'm so sorry.)

- Felix?

(- I wanted to take care of you,

secure your future.)

(I did not have the time.)

(Beware of the lurking assassins)

(around you)

- You see?

The Jews !

- Sorry, Felix, I didn't want you

(- Do not be sad.)

(I had a very pleasant death.)

- Spirit!

I ask you to answer.

We summoned

you to tell us the truth!

Did we m*rder you?

(- Who are you, sl*t,

to disturb the dead?)

(You won't see the new century.)

Little moans

- Mom !

She moans.



- The poor ! She is doomed.

Henriette is infallible.

She predicted my election.

- You shut up!

Keep your prophecies for the assembly.

(in chuchotant)

And you, if you repeat a word

of what has been said here tonight,

you are dead.

Louis will pay you for the item.

Welcome to L'Antijuif.

Intriguing music



- It's Josephine, the dead woman.

He blows.

The butcher knows more,

but he is dying of fear.

- Who is he afraid of?

Guerins?

- Perhaps.

The bird chirps.



I'll have to water it.

- How ?

- 5,000.

He moans.



- Where do you find him?

- At the slaughterhouses. Before opening.

- I would like a number at La Villette.

The Weidmann firm, 25 rue de Flandres.

Phone ring



Thanks anyway.

Intriguing music



Neighing in the distance

The bird chirps.



Cough and difficult breathing



Grinding



- Félix Faure's mistress

denounces the Jews!

The president has been assassinated!

Dreyfus the devil has left his island!

They are everywhere !

Félix Faure's mistress
