Jovall?

Yes.

Something real bad happened.

Julien... took his life last night.

In his office. Shot in the head.

Yes, I know.

No, tell me. I'm listening.

Yes.

Sure, sure, go on.

And the others? The same amount?

Right, thank you.

The owner of the

Sourjtam equipment rental is Lpidon.

Lpidon and Simoneau.

It's in fact a loan shark

outfit for all kinds of loans.

This month there are 4 other

drafts due, for the same amount.

This month?

That makes for a hole of... 6 million.

That's unbelievable.

How is this possible?

- Who is this Lpidon?

- A crook, with patrons in politics,

who has civil servants

and delegates depending on him.

A specialist in buying

bankrupt companies.

How could that happen to Julien?

And without a word to us.

The causes are in his

private life. That's a vast terrain.

- I suspected for quite some time.

- Me too, but it came so fast.

- We have to inform his wife.

- I thought he was divorced.

They live apart. Because of her family.

Lpidon.

Condolences.

I'm really sorry.

I couldn't foresee this.

But I couldn't act otherwise.

I'm in a difficult situation.

A delegate walked out

and my finances are in a bad state.

I had warned

our friend, but he was deaf.

Not meant as an allusion...

wish I had only guessed.

You always think too much of people's

character. So, see you soon.

Lpidon's strategy was simple.

He waited with the drafts

until he had Julien ready.

As long as Julien could pay, he waited.

That earned him interest too.

When Julien's money was gone,

he presented them all at once.

It's simple:
Julien can't pay,

Lpidon applies for bankruptcy.

As the main creditor

he can take over the shop cheaply.

- Am I wrong, Jovall?

- No, it's like that.

- Without mentioning the kickbacks.

- Here are the bills from Sourjtam.

April 7 and June 20. Checks

were written for more than 150,000.

Rent for 3 cranes and 2 cement mixers.

Never saw them.

Checks for forged bills.

You'll find more.

That's 750,000 he has pocketed already.

At our expense,

and that of the clients.

We can report him to the police.

If you do that, you report

your fraudulent accounts too.

You can't get him.

- What can we do? - Nothing.

There's one thing we can do.

- What? - Pay for the drafts.

- With what? - With your money and mine.

It's cheaper to stay out.

- That'd be money down the drain.

- I won't leave the shop to Lpidon.

Lpidon and Simoneau

are rats. I'll skin them alive.

They will pay.

But first the draft is due.

I've prepared it all with Jovall.

It's up to you

if you're with me or not.

Right.

I think we've discussed it all.

Yes. Good evening.

This draft is

just for starters! Still 4 to go.
