The Day of the Jackal Page #4

to play around with makeup.

I'm not much good at it anyway.

- Forget about makeup.

The important thing is the skin.

It must look gray and tired.

We used a trick in the army to

fake illness and get out of duty.

Can you get some cordite?

- I suppose so.

You swallow a couple

of small pieces of cordite.

It'll make you feel sick

and turn the skin a gray color.

After about an hour,

you'll feel all right again.

Your skin'll look gray longer.

- I'll try it.

What about the French documents?

- French identity card's all right.

The other one, I don't think

I've seen what they look like...

...let alone copy it.

I'll get a colleague in France

to pick someone's pocket...

...so I can make a duplicate.

Give me more time, more money.

How much more?

Five hundred.

Three hundred pounds?

Half now, half on delivery.

- When will I hear from you?

I'll be returning to Genova on August 14.

Be in the same place

where we met tonight at 6:00.

Must be a big job you've got.

There are certain things

I wish to make clear.

When you've finished, you will

hand over the negatives...

...and all the prints

of the photographs you've taken.

You will also forget the name of Duggan...

...and the name on the French

documents you're going to produce.

Is that understood?

Taking it easy?

I wish I had your job.

All my tenants are on holiday.

What time is it?

Half past 5:
00.

- I must hurry.

Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

That's him. See?

In the light coat.

He's the Elysee Palace official.

He'll pack his wife and children

off to the Loire Valley...

...for the annual holiday.

You haven't got much time.

I need Wolenski.

Arrange to get him across the border.

What? Never mind the Italian government.

Once he's inside France...

...bring him to Paris immediately.

You're being very foolish, Viktor.

You know yourself,

they always talk in the end.

You've seen it with your own

two eyes in Indo-China.

And in Algeria, of course.

Tell us what they're waiting for

in that hotel.

What are they planning?

Who have they been meeting with?

Nobody? Not a soul?

Then where were they

before they went to Rome?

Tell us, Viktor.

Go back a bit.

Hold it. Stop.

Question:
Rome, Viktor.

Why did they go to Rome?

No answer.

- Check.

Question:
Why are they in Rome?

Answer:
Secret.

- Check.

Question:
Where did they stay

in Vienna, Viktor?

No answer.

- Check.

Was it a house?

I am asking you,

was it a house?

Answer:

K-K-Kleist.

Go on.

Question:
Who is Kleist?

What does he do?

What did they do to the bastard?

I can't understand a word.

Put it on the speakers.

- Where from, sir?

'Who is Kleist? ' That bit.

Who is Kleist?
