to the civil party...

the police officer's orphans

and the widow Grimaldi.

Mrs Grimaldi...

Yes, why?

I'd like to talk to you.

Is it about the case?

You're not a journalist!

It was very hard for me

to come here.

May I come in?

I'm Eddy Batkin's father.

A father who deplores

his son's actions,

and wants you to know

that he shares your grief.

Thank you.

I wish I could heal your pain.

I understand.

Sadly, that's not possible.

My son deeply regrets what he did.

His action was terrible,

but not deliberate.

Please sit down.

Listen,

if there's anything you need,

you can count on me.

No, sir.

But thank you.

Thank you for seeing me.

It was unhoped for.

Goodbye, ma'am.

And?

She's a good woman.

I think she'll help us.

It's so important for Eddy,

I can barely let myself hope.

We have to.

I think she'll see us again.

Meeting her made me realize

the harm Eddy has done.

I'll be back once I've seen him.

Are you sleeping, at least?

I hear the clock chime every hour.

There's a church nearby.

I can't believe what I did.

It's time.

Write to Muriel, she'd like that.

Are you going away?

Who was your visitor?

My father.

The Pole is your father?

Yes, he's of Polish origin.

We called him the Polack.

- You know him?

- You bet!

We were inside together.

You were in jail with my father?

That shocks you?

We even tried to escape.

The prison was in Luxembourg.

We put laxatives in our e yes

to get sent to hospital.

He can't have forgotten.

He finally got out by playing crazy.

Antoine Reynac, mention my name.

He was a gangster then.

Don't worry, he'll get you out.

A gangster? My father?

Good thing for you!

It means he has experience.

I have some guards in my pocket.

They'll help you out.

Reynac !

You have the Italians at 11.

The Italians?

I can find an excuse...

No, send them in.

Hello, how are you?

Mr VauInet, from the Paris bar.

Mr and Mrs Batkin.

Hello, sir.

Mr VauInet will come

for all the hearings.

That's good news.

Mrs Grimaldi accepted money

for her son's medical studies.

We have prepared

her letter of withdrawal.

''I the undersigned,

Mrs Grimaldi, declare

that despite my loss,

I do not wish for idle vengeance.

I choose to withdraw

my formal complaint,

and in memory of my husband,

a good man,

I plead the court

to show indulgence

to a 1 7-year-old killer,

who acted without hatred

or premeditation

in a moment of madness.''

Hello, ma'am.

I was waiting for you.

Me too!

Here !

Take your money.

I don't understand.

Read this and you will.

I thought you sincere,

but you're just a family of felons!

Like father, like son!

If you come back,

I'll call the police.

FATHER OF EDD Y B.
