If you don't,

I'll consider I got paid for a job.

20 million? That's insane!

It's nothing,

if you're so sure you'll divorce.

Thanks.

I'll park it, sir.

Drive, I have to talk to you.

- There's our lot.

- Go ahead, park.

- You're Franois Pignon?

- That's right.

I'm a lawyer with a client

who needs your help.

My help?

All this must stay

strictly confidential.

You must put a woman up

at your place for a while.

A woman?

Yes, and pretend to be a couple.

Sorry, I don't quite follow you.

It's simple.

A woman will live with you:

people must think

she's your girlfriend.

Who is she?

She's a... how can I put it?

Let's say a supermodel.

- A supermodel?

- Right...

Quite well known... very well known.

- Who'll live with me?

- For a few days.

How much must I pay?

No, we pay you.

To live with a supermodel?

Name your price.

You're putting me on?

No, it's a serious matter.

Where's the camera?

What?

The camera, where is it?

You sure had me going.

You got me!

And I...

Mr Pignon, this is very serious

and very urgent.

Well?

He agreed.

He didn't get it, but agreed.

- How much does he want?

- 32,450 Euros.

The exactness of the sum

surprised me, too.

32,450 Euros.

Not a penny more or less!

How did she react?

She'll cost more.

How much?

...million Euros.

What?

20 million Euros!

- Is this a joke?

- Not at all.

I swore I'd divorce:

she didn't believe me.

I can see why.

Spare me your quips.

Sorry.

You said she wasn't after money.

It's a deposit.

I get it back when I divorce.

That's blackmail.

I love her,

and I'm completely cornered.

- Mr Pignon?

- Yes.

I'm Ohristine Levasseur.

May I ask you a few questions?

Oan I come in?

Please do.

You seen this picture?

Was that the door, hon?

Ma'am.

Hello?

They beat you to it.

I couldn't be faster.

I found him in 24-hours.

I just left his place: she was there.

Maybe they are an item.

I'll never believe that.

We can't rule it out completely.

Watch them day and night.

We'll soon find out.

Hello?

She's hired Berman.

Ex-cop, now private.

The green Renault behind you.

Take Baume Avenue

and park by number 42.

A car's waiting for you in the yard.

A black Audi.

Take the back exit

into a street behind the building.

It's a friend's house,

you'll be fine here.

Sit down.

The bank data:
you have

20 million Euros in this account.

Admit that it's a tidy sum.

Less than the cost of a divorce.

Ten times less?

I'll need a signature.

So he gets the money back

if he divorces.

Love is beautiful!

Let's recap...

Be seen everywhere with this man:

convince those watching you

that you're a real couple.

Yes?

Right away.

He's here.
