of your cooperation with M. Elliot.

What details?

When was the last time you met him?

He had to arrive in Venice on August.

We had to meet in Washington,

but he changed the place to Venice.

It's a pity, he didn't come.

Are you angry? We have nothing to hide.

Why did he change the place?

It was a responsible period

for him in the States.

Why responsible?

We did not change the place.

Our cooperation relies

on getting information from him.

- I still don't understand...

- Came to Venice.

- I will.

- With kids.

With kids.

- I thought it was not him calling.

- Somebody called from him.

I agree go to cafe.

Ah so? Why?

Let's say, I like to look

a rat in the eyes,

than feel his breath in the spine.

Great.

Where do you want to meet?

Why don't you come up?

- Elliot's kids are there?

- Sorry.

I prefer to meet in another place.

- Remember cafe "Raymonde"?

- Yes.

- In an hour, OK?

- Thanks.

- A call for you!

- Thank you.

This is Irene,

I'll be in 15 minutes.

Very nice.

Call me to my cellphone.

I need to be sure that

you are in "Raymonde".

Bye.

Sh*t!

Good evening, Doctor,

this is William Pound.

No, I did not kill anybody,

I just lost one more time.

Let's say, I trusted the intuition

and got fooled.

Have to watch out.

If he wants he'll find us.

- Why?

- What - why?

If he finds us anyway?

If they want to find Elliot,

they'll find him.

It is a question of time and means,

but I don't know about either.

I recall an argument with my brother.

We were on vacation in Qimper.

I can't recall the reason

of the argument,

but I clearly remember the shame I felt.

The same feeling came back tome,

when I finished my first assignment

with Elliot.

He was reading Homer!

He passionately loves poems.

I confessed, I haven't read,

and I know nothing about it.

In Qimper.

Yes, Qimper!

Comper.

Father - Pre.

Yes, Homer!

Bravo! That's it: Mre - mother!

I am a fool!

It is obvious.

Thank you, Doctor.

My friends have no passports.

- I'll give you $ 500.

- 800.

OK.

Then you pay for croissants.

You really knew nothing about David?

No, I only knew that your father

has changed his name.

And how do you like it?

Like his father - a poet.

- And, by the way, geese.

- What - geese?

I don't raise ducks,

I raise geese.

- Why without us?

- I don't know them well.

- You came with kids?

- Yes.

If you can call them kids.

M. Elliot just called.

He said he wants to change

the date of the meeting.

It will take place in 3 days.

If you remain in Venice,

we have a company apartment.

Thank you.

Can you call Elliot?

No, he calls us.

He tried to meet you but could not.

Why did he change the date again?

We don't know.
