like others? - I'm not a whore!

I am a nice girl from a good family.

You came with me to tune the piano.

Open your purse.

Give it to me.

Did you have fun?

It wasn't bad. You fight a bit too

much, but still not bad.

- You're fairly good-looking.

- Thank you.

- Are you from Paris?

- Why do you say that?

Your jacket has a Paris label.

- When did you notice that?

- Just now when you took it off.

What are you doing in Antwerp?

Sightseeing.

Why did you give that man

your scarf?

I'm a travelling salesman.

You don't trust me.

I could be useful.

I know lots of people here, in

all kinds of occupations.

- What's your name?

- Jean.

Mine's Eva. Do you like it?

That guy you gave your scarf to,

I know who he is.

He sells coke.

In your place, I'd be careful.

They are not straight, that gang.

They hire couriers and then they

give them to the cops to avoid paying.

I'm not interested in those tales.

They guy lost his scarf and asked me

if it wasn't his that I was holding.

He explained where he lost it.

Alright. Good for your.

But if you want to get in on

a serious deal, just tell me.

Don't forget the name - Eva.

Is that your wife? It's the time

for the wife photo to come out.

Is that enough?

There is something absurd here.

Why does your Elias receive

fragmentary orders,

from meeting to meeting,

never getting anywhere?

No, it's easy to understand.

He is a new agent.

The organization wants

to test him first.

So they watch him carefully before

trusting him with the goods.

- And the whore subplot? What is

she doing there? - She is not a whore!

She's a maid at the hotel.

- Not that one.

The girl he met in the street,

the one who took him to her place.

She is not important.

He has some free time,

so he goes upstairs with a girl

he saw in the window.

- But she wasn't in the window.

- How come?

She was in the street, right?

In any case, that changes nothing.

- "Why aren't you in a window?

- I am not a whore!

I am a nice girl from a good family.

You came with me to tune the piano."

It's 8 o'clock, sir.

As soon as he got up he went

to the river

following his instructions from

the day before.

Is he taking his suitcase this time?

He thought about it, but came to the

conclusion that no one told him to.

- So what's he doing there?

- He doesn't know.

He goes because he was told to go.

Bring me a beer.

Another coin, sir, and I'll order

a Mass for your salvation.

Excuse me, do you know if

Father Petitjean is here?

It took you an hour and 28 minutes.

Good morning.

My name's Frank.

- Was that a test? - Of course.

I could have been at the station yesterday.

- And the result?
