Anyway, if Juan shows up,

have him wait here for new orders.

Okay, but I bet he's going to cross

at Perpignan.

Perpignan. Here we are.

At 3:
34 p.m., you leave Bayonne

for Toulouse.

You arrive in Toulouse at 8:34 p.m.

You catch the train for Narbonne

at 9:
13 p.m.

At 11:
01 p.m., in Narbonne,

you catch the train to Perpignan.

You arrive in Perpignan

at 11:
55 p.m.

Not exactly an express.

No, not exactly.

Juan hasn't crossed over yet,

unless he went through Perpignan.

You don't know.

You can do nothing alone.

Antoine's right. You don't even know

who's in charge in Perpignan.

You should go to Paris.

Juan is probably still there.

You'll find him home.

You need to see your people...

Today.

Explain the Madrid situation to them,

that nobody should go there.

Eepecially not Juan.

He would be walking into a trap.

- If she hasn't told Lucienne, we're sunk.

- We are?

- How can she do it without Lucienne?

- She's used to it.

- Was she used to it at Royan last year?

- That's different. She wasn't at home.

Lucienne didn't leave just to be

with her nephews. Something happened.

You always dramatize.

I know what I'm saying.

She is lost without Lucienne!

Didn't she ask Lucienne to come?

The Marcels make two.

Unless Pierre comes. Two or three.

Then there's us, Raoul,

her two daughters, their husbands.

- And no Lucienne!

- Lucienne may be the first one there.

Without Lucienne, we're sunk!

Don't fret. Remember,

it's a holiday reunion.

Holiday?

With everyone in a foul mood?

Lucienne's not even family.

Don't exaggerate.

So what if she's not family?

Without her, we're a pretty family!

- I was sent by Antonio.

- What?

- Madame Lopez?

- No, I'm Madame Pluvier.

Sorry, I'm looking for

Madame Lopez.

There's no Madame Lopez here.

Building G, 10th floor,

number 107.

That's right,

but there's no Madame Lopez here.

Then I've made a mistake.

I beg your pardon.

Is she a refugee from Algeria?

A refugee? No, I don't think so.

I mean, on account of the name.

There's lots of them around here.

Thank you. Good-bye.

You came to see Juan a year ago.

Building G, 10th floor,

number 107.

Care of Madame Lopez, you thought.

But there's no Juan now,

no Madame Lopez.

Maybe it was some other Building G,

some other 10th floor.

Perhaps Juan did go,

and he'll walk right into the trap.

Roberto.

You must find Roberto now.

She'll wonder what's wrong.

She'll realize something's happened

to her husband.

You'd rather not see her today.

And yet you need her. She's the one

who can take you to Roberto.

Last Thursday at 6:00 p.m...

Andres failed to show up

at the Botanical Gardens.

You had a beer

at the Cafe Nacional.

Jorge Semprún

Jorge Semprún Maura (Spanish: [ˈxorxe semˈpɾun]; 10 December 1923 – 7 June 2011) was a Spanish writer and politician who lived in France most of his life and wrote primarily in French. From 1953 to 1962, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, Semprún lived clandestinely in Spain working as an organizer for the exiled Communist Party of Spain, but was expelled from the party in 1964. After the death of Franco and change to a democratic government, he served as Minister of Culture in Spain's socialist government from 1988 to 1991. He was a screenwriter for two successive films by the Greek director Costa-Gavras, Z (1969) and The Confession (1970), which dealt with the theme of persecution by governments. For his work on the films The War Is Over (1966) and Z (1969) Semprun was nominated for the Academy Award. In 1996, he became the first non-French author elected to the Académie Goncourt, which awards an annual literary prize. more…
