- Your time is good.

In an hour you'll change hotels.

- To which one should I go?

- It makes no difference.

- Then why change?

- For the sake of changing.

You'll leave your hotel in

Rue du Pelican,

with the suitcase empty and your

things wrapped in a parcel.

You'll arrive at the new hotel

with just the parcel,

having left the suitcase in a

locker at Central Station.

You'll give the locker key to our

agent whom you'll meet at five

at the Waggon Cemetery that's

at the end of Dock Five.

It's #319 to 321.

Got it? Repeat where.

- Where.

- Good.

I forgot something.

If by chance you run into

difficulties,

you must not use your gun.

- Then why did you give it to me?

- That will be explained later.

Thank you.

- I said thank you. You're not going?

- No, sir. You're the one who's going.

Custom control.

Right.

Good.

Passport.

- What are you doing in Antwerp?

- I'm a tourist.

- And the ropes?

- Sailboat.

- Yours?

- A friend's.

- His name?

- Jean.

- And you?

- What about me?

- Where are you staying?

- Hotel.

- Address.

- Miropeikan straat.

- We'll check.

- Too late.

- Why?

- I'm leaving.

- Going where?

- Paris.

- Tonight?

- We'll see.

- See what?

- Train schedule.

- And the suitcase?

- The locker.

- Empty!

- Empty!

- What's this?

- A gun.

- And this?

- A chain.

- And this?

- Razor.

- And this?

- A comb.

- And this?

- Toothbrush.

- And this?

- And this?

Enough fooling around, my boy.

You're caught.

Now tell us everything nicely.

Since you're a new accomplice who

has been led into this unawares,

you'll come to no great harm.

If you help us, we are even prepared

to forget everything about you.

But I don't understand.

You must have confused me with

someone else.

Stay here, we'll take care of you.

What are you doing here, sir?

- As you see, I am packing.

- Fine. Goodbye.

Hi. What are you doing here?

- Are you taking the train?

- I'm checking the schedule.

- Do you want me to pick you up?

- Why not. - Wait and see.

- Are you all alone, darling?

- Yes.

- Did you just arrive?

- Yes, I just got off the train.

Do you want me to show you Antwerp?

It's a strange place.

A place for twerps, they say.

You must be tired.

Want to stop by my place?

- Will you be a good girl?

- Oh yes, sir.

- You'll let me do what I want?

- Something special?

- Something a bit bizarre.

- Like what?

What's this?

Can't you see, it's a box.

- What for?

- My razor.

Why isn't it here?

Must have fallen out.

There is a mark inside.

Like something else was there.

- What?

- I dunno. A gun.

You know, you should buy a suitcase.

It's convenient for carrying things.

For a tourist especially.
