- I'm in construction.

Mado probably told you. - Yes.

The firms belong to me or I'm

shareholder. The job starts right away.

My accountant needs an operation.

Hold on please. Mr Jovall on line 2.

Hello?

That's not Jovall, it's my father!

- He took over.

- Always have to be alert here!

- I am on line 2!

- Come on, I'm on line 1.

- Watch the buttons! - I wanted to call

Maurice. - I need to be in charge!

- No need to get worked up.

- Jovall on line 1.

Hello Jovall, the Bank called me.

There's a draft

of over a million on Julien's account.

The company's account is empty.

Sourjtam, do you know him?

Try to reach

your lawyer, before he protests.

Right. Call me back.

Get me Julien too.

- I have a problem. - So I heard.

- Can you start right away? - Yes.

- Mr Julien isn't in.

- Call him at the office. - Architect's

office? Mr Antoine, please.

- You'll get the same salary.

Can you drive? - Yes.

Antoine, where is Julien?

What do you mean, nowhere?

Not at home? Sh*t!

About the Sourjtam draft!

Exactly.

Right, I come over. You come with me.

Simon, the diner with Jaspeau

is because of Felix's painting.

- Yes, so? - I'm the host.

I am his father.

- Let's go. - OK.

- Since when

do you know Mado? - 6, 7 years.

Since she came to France.

The firm

that it's about, are you the owner?

I'm just shareholder.

It belongs to a friend.

- He has the authority and disappeared

2 days ago. - With the money?

No,

with a fat draft on an empty account.

That's a problem.

The enterprise is attractive.

A garden town,

planned by an architect full of ideas.

- About time. - Panics starting here.

They're all there,

but no trace of Julien.

- They call him all the time,

but nothing. - Come on.

- What kind of firm is Sourjtam?

- They rent out building equipment.

But in this project

we don't work with Sourjtam.

He's in the know, and you aren't?

- And you?

- I'm not informed about everything.

- I do Julien's personal accounts.

- It's about the company's accounts.

Isn't there anything to go on?

Receipts, registers and such?

Look in his desk.

Come on, it's important!

There's a draft waiting to be cashed.

How do we pay the bills,

when the account has no balance?

Running costs

are covered by the bank loan.

- When does

the next payment come in? - Friday.

So no problems. Work can continue.

It's horrible, my God!

Call the police right away.

- When did it happen?

- Last night, I guess.

Not a thing we can do about it.

- Nobody went in his office yet?

- Nobody except him went in his office.

- And the cleaning ladies?

- They work in the evening.

- Atty. Jovall is on the line.

- I talk to him. There?
