THE RETURN OF THE TALL BLOND GUY
Last May 6th,
Franois Perrin arrived at Orly.
He was wearing different coloured shoes.
That was the start of the adventure...
...of the Tall Blond Guy
with one black shoe.
This man, chosen from the crowd, by
coincidence, went to become the hero...
...of an espionage affair. Colonel
Toulouse, head of a secret service...
...sent him into the hands
of his assistant, colonel Milan...
...who, he thought, was too
much of a careerist.
Toulouse made it look as if the Tall
Blond Guy was an international spy.
His plan was simple:
if observed well enough...
...every innocent person becomes
strange and suspect.
The Tall Blond Guy was going to avoid,
unknowingly, the traps set by Milan...
...and his team. Christine, one of the
top specialists of colonel Milan...
...didn't get anything out of him.
She even ended up falling
in love with him.
The innocence of
the Tall Blond Guy...
...led to the fall of colonel Milan.
That is how colonel Toulouse...
...got rid of his
over ambitious assistant.
Maurice Lefvre, a friend of the Tall
Blond Guy, witnessed the massacre.
And his sanity was
gravely compromised by it.
The Tall Blond Guy, still
totally unaware, went to Rio...
...with Christine. A just
reward after this incredible story.
Three months later...
A letter. A letter from the
Tall Blond Guy, captain.
"Maurice Lefvre"
"Dear Maurice, don't talk to
anybody about this letter.
You'd endanger us both.
First of all, rest assured
that I'm totally sane.
We got entangled in an espionage
affair of some ruthless people.
They used us to settle their scores.
They manipulated us.
One day, I'll tell you,
this incredible story in person."
Mr. Lefvre?
-Yes?
A letter for you.
Captain Cambrai.
-Who gave you this letter?
I'm heading an investigation
into the death of colonel Milan.
Did you intercept my mail?
Now I know what
I wanted to know:
Colonel Toulouse got rid of
Milan, using the Tall Blond Guy.
Come Maurice.
-If you agree to testify...
...we can get colonel Toulouse,
Mr. Lefvre.
Do you understand? We need
you to testify.
I don't want to get anybody.
This story nearly drove me mad.
Just leave me alone, understood?
Yes?
-Hello, sir.
Dear Perrache, let's pay our
respects to the new minister.
He came from Agriculture.
He's 45 years old, has an unfuckable
wife and has 4 children.
Which proves that
he's capable of anything.
He has a passion for
Japanese fish.
You know, they don't eat a lot.
At Agriculture,
I had a more practical desk.
Less high and bigger.
Here's the file, minister.
-Ah yes.
If it's in the interest of your
investigation, I'll play along, captain.
But I'd like to understand.
I'll explain when I have formal proof.
The affair is too serious.
He likes to hear himself talk.
He's smug and slippery...
...like a piece of soap.
He has a 22 year old mistress.
We bugged her place
He calls her "my little rascal".
She calls him "my big log".
The Big Log.
Colonel!
-I'd like to introduce myself.
I'm happy to work for you.
-Thank you, minister.
I know your reputation, colonel.
Captain Cambrai...
Perrache.
Well, gentlemen...
...we'll make a great team.
And you'll see that
I don't waste time.
Although I'm new at the job,
I already have something to show you.
Milan, your assistant,
seems to have had a small obsession.
He kept files
on everybody.
This one seemed very interesting.
Poor colonel Milan.
He was a remarkable man.
-Yes, Franois Perrin, nicknamed...
...the "Tall Blond Guy with
one black shoe", 32 years old...
...single, normal childhood,
conservatory, military service.
Wait, that's not what we're
interested in. First violin...
Ah, this is interesting. A note
written by colonel Milan himself.
"The Tall Blond Guy
with one black shoe...
...works for colonel Toulouse.
Super agent, working alone.
Exceptional cover: violinist.
Cold blooded, nerves of steel,
formidable.
The Tall Blond Guy is the most
dangerous man I met in 30 years...
...of intelligence service."
He must be one of your best men.
He's... What?
very special person.
Yes, yes, he's a good operative.
-Bring him to me.
Excuse me?
-Bring him to me. I want to meet him.
But that's impossible.
-Ah, why?
Because he's on a mission.
Where?
-In the tropics.
Mozart, Bach, Brahms, Wednesday.
Excuse me? -He's playing in Paris,
next week. -Who?
The Tall Blond Guy... An excellent
opportunity to introduce him to me, no?
Why didn't that loser stay away?
You did very well, minister.
I admit that I'm a bit
worried about all those mysteries.
You see, at Agriculture, things are
a bit more... how should I put it?
Straightforward, that's it.
Straightforward.
I want a real file on him, Perrache.
His interests, his passions, his vices.
-Yes, sir.
I also wouldn't want to antagonise...
...Colonel Toulouse.
I'll get this Big Log.
What about his tax declaration?
He pays his taxes, sir.
-Why?
I don't know, sir.
-He always wants to be different.
We could have told him that...
-What? That you picked him at Orly?
That the Tall Blond Guy was
an average guy from the crowd?
An a**hole trap.
No, no, dear Perrache.
We'd risk our jobs and
Never forget that he's dead
and that the Tall Blond Guy...
