The Horse (La Horse)

- They have come again. - Who?

That I don't know.

This is broken glass. It's from a flashlight.

They have entered without using force.

They must have a key. This time I have found this.

Look!

- What is this? - I don't know

Merchandise.

Poppy seed, night of china... "La Horse".

- "La Horse"? - Heroin.

Of course! Down here was someone who used it.

They got high.

Rex!

- Good day, papa. - Good day, great daughter.

Good day, my daughter.

You have forgotten something, haven't you?

Where is he, Maurice? - Gone to take care of the animals.

- Léon, at the bank of Messais, the fence is not repaired.

- Yes, I have to go there. - Yes, go there at once.

Okay, I go.

- Henri has not been down yet? - He is still sleeping.

He has been reading the whole night. - When will his holidays be over?

- His ship will be leaving Le Havre in 3 days.

Will he be up by then?

Bien-Phu, come have a look.

Here, hide this at your place.

- The boss is not cold? - He is never cold.

- He can get cold and get ill. - He is never ill.

- This is all I have. - That will do.

How can you sleep with a thing that stinks like that?

- I am used to it. - You are like your father used to be.

Wait.

- What is it? Speak!

Look out, your feet!

- That's it. There we have them. Come!

Have you finished crying? - We have some questions.

- Bien-Phu doesn't come? - No, he is agitated again.

Henri has not got up?

- It's my fault. I have woken him up too late.

Ah, that is too hot!

Good Day.

You have finshed eating.

This is not a snack bar. By the way, I have to talk to you.

You know this?

Don't do that!!

Little scoundrel!

First you wanted to be a vet,

then law, and then, art...

But you end up as a bartender on a ship and dealing drugs.

Aren't you ashamed?

- You don't understand. You understand nothing!

- Oh, I understand quite well. The times have changed.

I forbid you to do this on my lands. Here, nothing has changed.

- That was worth 200 millions. They'll kill me.

- Nobody will kill you. You are at my place.

- Really? - Really.

*- The enzymes don't erase the stains, they devour them.

*- Because the enzymes don't erase the stains, they devour them...

*- Cormorants, they are cormorants! Because the enzymes...

Oh, fuck!

Hello!

Is Henri here?

Say... Oh!

- Monsieur? - Madame.

I have come to see Henri. I am a friend from Paris.

- He is not here, monsieur. - That's annoying.

- Can I help? - We will see.

- Come here, then tell me about your matter.

- So you are the grandfather? - I am the grandfather.

- That was not nice. I have two friends who have twisted ankles.

I did not come quarrelsome.

But the merchandise, have to return it.

People in Paris and from abroad have invested a lot of money.

Here in the country, perhaps you don't realize,

but this package, you have confiscated

that makes quite a sum.

Two millions.

You hand it back, we disappear and everybody is happy.

Henri will get a blame, of course. Everyone for himself.

I don't see it's necessary.

- You will make me lose my good temper.

I will regret my country ride.

That would be a pity...

Say, grandpa, you don't want to get your grandson in trouble, do you?

Have to hammer it in your head that you not only have one grandson,

but there is the farm, too. A nice farm...

But it burns, a farm!

And the cows, they die easily.

And above all, there is the family.

You only have one family, and you have to take care of it.

The little sister, she is well built, beautiful...

Unsoiled...

That is nice... with several men.

Well aimed!

Come down here.

What's up?

Go back in the house.

- Looks as if he is drunk. - Véronique, come help us.

Henri, get the cidre.

And turn the lights on, please.

- I wait for you there? - Of course.

- I dig the hole? - Yes, you dig the hole.

- This afternoon in the city, I have met Belay.

He will come tomorrow

for the tractor.

There was a visitor?

What visitor?

Have you seen somebody, girls?

And you, Léon? Have you seen somebody?

I was not here.

- Nobody was here, otherwise I would have seen him.

Henri!

Prepare your stuff.

Open the trapdoor.

Go downstairs.

Go downstairs.

You are old!

- That is bad, trying to kill your father!

Who?

- Our middleman in Le Havre, the bartender.

He is untraceable. evaporated with our merchandise.

Annoying.

- There is somebody behind this, member of his family, a peasant.

I have sent Marc to him and he, too, has vanished, disappeared.

- Annoying... - Very. Marc is my brother.

Well, this...

Never mix business with family matters.

Never!

France, that's you. Switzerland, that's me.

The delivery that should have left Le Havre yesterday has been payed for.

Your personal share Has been transferred to Paris.

So, recover the merchandise quickly.

Due in, say... 48 hours.

Or compensate. - 200 millions?

- You will manage. - And if it cannot be managed?

Well...

This is very annoying.

- The farm of M. Maroilleur? - You are there.

You are working here?

- I am his son-in-law. Why? - You will give him a message.

We are waiting for Marc and the merchandise at the kiosk in Jarville.

It is 9 o'clock. Let's say until noon, but not longer. Understood?

- Look, there he is. You can tell him yourself.

- That won't help. At least not him.

- What did he answer? - Like always. Nothing.

- And that Marc of whom they spoke, who you think he is?

- Perhaps that boy who arrived the other day.

He came for Henri... Has he eaten?

I have just brought him some.

There is one who knows. Bien-Phu.

Oh, him...

lt's noon.

So what?

Talk to him.

It's our kid. If it is bad, we have the right to know.

- It's 0:20 h. He will be sleeping. - He never sleeps.

Dad?

Dad! - Yep.

- Why have you locked up Henri in the cave of Bien-Phu?

- I haven't locked him up, I have hidden him.

Now he has lost his job.

Better than losing one's life.

- What did he do? What did the man say with whom you talked?

The merchanise has to do with Henri?

I am his father. I have a right to know.

- I am his grandfather and you have no right.

I keep the manor of my father like he did. It's a tradition.

Go sleeping and turn off the light.

- Because the corrida has only yet begun.

The bullets will fly, but I have the remedy!

- You are folcloristic like the Old One, not in the same way, but still.

The Old Man knows what he is doing.

- You always agree with him. - Say!

When I returned wounded with my babbling attacks

He was the only one of the family who cared for me.

- The patriarch and his fool. You are lacking your costume

and your cap and bells. - You don't smell anything?

Yes, your rotgut-madness.

- Your studies in Paris, have served you bad.

"lntroduction to psychoanalysis". Funny?

Very.

You don't smell?

The Vietnamese!

- Don't make fun. I have a nose like a fox.

It's in the barn!

- Maurice, call the firefighters! - Don't call nobody.

- Are you mad? - Shut up! Don't get on my nerves!

It's Roger.

They are attacking the animals!

They are attacking the animals!

- Heard that? - Yes. We have to wake him up.

- Now I go to the police. - No! You are not going.

- And the money? - I don't give a damn about the money.

- There are at least 30 animals beat-up. - Bah, and afterwards?

- He doesn't care about the money! It's our money, too.

We don't do his kind of justice anymore.

- Those who have done this could go further.

- I will protect my child. I call the police.

- Talk to Henri. He must know something about this.

I'll go.
