or even look at her.

What can I do?

There's always something wrong.

We used to live by the sea.

Now she says it ruins her skin.

She spies on me

when I'm cleaning or cooking,

especially cooking.

If you like, I could talk to her.

Hello, Violette.

Nice to see you again.

How are you?

Please say something, dear.

Please call me Luc.

I'm so pleased to see you together.

Violette... May I call you Violette?

Can he call you Violette?

Sorry for the trouble I've caused.

He wants to apologise.

- I hope I'm not taking too much

of your husband's time.

- He hopes he's not wasting my time.

Wait! If you repeat all I say,

we'll never get anywhere.

Don't push me too far

or I will get annoyed.

We all will!

Okay?

Leave us for a while.

In half an hour it'll all be okay.

I hope so.

We will find a way out of here

for both of us.

You want out, so do I.

So, let's get out.

You'll get out.

Sorry.

I couldn't wait any longer.

Don't make any noise.

She fell asleep. She's very tired.

Look, this may come as a shock but...

She doesn't want me here.

She wants me to go.

She thinks you spend more time

with me than with her.

Did you explain to her?

- She won't listen!

She refuses to see you

until I'm gone. I'm sorry.

She's totally mad.

No, she just wants you all to herself.

You've been so nice to me.

It's made her jealous.

Don't be stupid or you'll lose her.

Unchain me and I'll leave you.

Listen...

She's your wife!

Don't lose her because of me.

But she's the one who insisted

on inviting you to dinner.

She was so happy. I'll do what I can to

please her but I just don't understand.

Look, what if we give ourselves

24 hours, till tomorrow?

You unchain me, I'll go home.

And tomorrow...

I'll come back.

If you do that for her

she'll be yours again.

She can't do this to us.

I've to think it over.

Well? Have you decided?

Violette won't have you here

but I can't let her

throw you out either.

So, I've decided to do away with you

so Violette will be happy and

you'll be here in your room.

How's that?

Darling!

You have one minute

to give me the key.

Don't do it! - It's over!

Give me the key or I'll kill her!

You've 50 seconds...

Don't move!

Stop, I'll do what you want.

- The key or I decapitate her.

I've got it!

Hello, I'm Margot Lettelier.

I'm Luc's friend.

Luc Coblence, your neighbour.

I've been trying to find him all week.

There's nobody there.

Have you seen him, by any chance?

No, I don't know Luc. Why ask me?

I'm asking you

because I haven't seen him for 2 weeks.

He didn't answer the door

so I went downstairs

but the concierge couldn't help.

That's all I can do.

His flat was empty.
