He's just a little puppy.

Get over to the window.

What is going on?

Turn around and face the curtains.

If anyone moves, I'll shoot.

I said, don't move.

Now sing along with me.

He was a simple little sailor

Let's hear it. Sing or I'll shoot.

First one to turn gets plugged.

Who dreamed of ship, shipping off to sea

We are sure your wife

saw Simon after he broke out of jail.

But he's out of the country.

No, he never left the country.

Right, Mrs. Zimmer?

I want you to know, Inspector...

for five years there hasn't been anything

between my wife and that man.

She hasn't even seen him.

I have.

When?

This afternoon.

What did he say?

Nothing. He wanted to see his daughter.

To see his daughter.

That's all.

Where have you hidden him

since his escape?

I don't know where he's been.

I just saw him for a minute.

He wouldn't have mentioned

where he was headed?

Yes.

Where?

Spain.

Why are you being so free

with your information?

I've nothing to hide.

And how is he going to get to Spain?

I've given him my car.

What kind of car is it?

A gray Peugeot four-door sedan.

License number?

Have fun in Brussels.

If he's in Spain,

he must have got in another way.

I've been contacted.

So has the whole border.

Don't worry.

I'll call you the minute there's any news.

Sure, so long.

Either she's giving us the runaround,

or he's changed his plans.

- Nobody's called her?

- Nobody's liable to.

- Hello?

- Nothing to worry about.

- Where are you?

- In Italy.

Albergo Piccolo in Genoa. Are you alone?

That girl of mine is really beautiful.

Now that I've seen her,

I can't get her out of my mind.

There weren't any problems at the border?

- Hello?

- No problems.

Will you stay there long?

Just two or three days.

I've got some guys to see.

- Will you call me again?

- Yes, I'll call you.

- Simon.

- Hello?

I think of you all the time.

So do I.

How long ago was that call made?

Fifteen minutes.

See if you can check on that

Albergo Piccolo in Genoa.

There's no one who fits

your man's description staying here.

- Good morning.

- The town hall, please.

But you can walk there.

It's just across the street.

- I'm tired.

- Whatever you say.

- That should cover it.

- Thank you, sir.

- Are you free? Airport, please.

- Yes, sir.

Are you going to tell me where you are?

Switzerland, of course,

but keep it to yourself.

You have everything you need?

No, I'd like some of your couscous.
