- Please, Lieutenant!

- Not so fast!

Lucky man.

Lydia won't file a complaint.

She gets out of the hospital

tomorrow.

So I'll let you go...

on one condition.

Anything, Lieutenant!

Give me a lead. A good one!

But I don't know anything.

I swear it.

Apart from two or three pimps I know.

They're not my department.

I want something big.

Tough luck, then.

Don't do that!

I've got nothing now,

but I'll find something. I swear.

- Promise?

- I swear, Lieutenant!

You're free to go.

Don't forget about me.

Or else...

- Well?

- They admitted they were wrong.

Great. I won't have to

send you packages now.

Red wins.

I hide, you seek.

This one.

For once, I could've won.

I did this before you did.

Look at this place!

What a dump!

It's enough to give you the blues.

Let's split!

We can't all have a duplex.

I'm no artist.

And how!

You out of sorts?

Me? Are you finished laughing?

I didn't say anything! You nuts?

Not yet, but if this keeps up...

I get it, it's the kid.

She dumped you?

Is she the kind to dump anybody?

Let's go! I'll buy us a bottle.

- I'll pay for the second!

- Flip you for both.

Heads!

Say, my luck's coming back!

- My car ready?

- Right there, Mr. Bob.

- Gas, oil, the works?

- All ready, Mr. Bob.

Pigalle, please?

You!

Get in.

What's with the suitcase?

Selling shoelaces?

No. I'm moving.

The hotel owner has a dumb rule:

She wants to be paid.

People you owe money to

always have dumb rules.

And the hundred I gave you?

I paid my hotel bill

so I could get my things.

All your worldly goods in there?

Where'll you go tonight?

Someplace or other.

- Want to come to my place?

- Sure.

Then rest easy.

You've got a home.

Number's easy:

- Quai?

- ... des Orfvres. Police HQ

Make yourself at home.

- Your family must be rich.

- I can't complain.

- What're you in?

- Ministry of Agriculture.

Equine preservation.

Kidding aside, I love horses.

I've given them everything:

my time, my money, my life.

Does it pay well?

Enough to end up

at the soup kitchen.

Not likely.

Never say die.

- You that fixed on gambling?

- What makes you say that?

This is just for fun.

Do you win?

Never.

You can sleep here.

I'll take the room upstairs.

Put your things in the drawers.

Then we'll go for a ride.

- You like riding in cars?

- Sure.

Especially in a jalopy.

This is where I was born.

It wasn't such a lousy dump back then.

And then I left

to conquer the world.

I was 14 when I split

on my old lady.

Did you go far?

You bet. As far as the city limits.

- And your father?

- My name's Montagn, like my mom.

She was unlucky with you both.

I came back 10 years later.

It was early morning.
