The Statement Page #2

---

St. Christopher,

intercede for me.

Don't panic.

Don't panic.

All right! All right!

Fourth one down

on the left is Maurice Livi.

Is there any relation?

Livi's a common name.

Unless the whole truth

is brought out into the open...

...the dead will never rest easy.

And neither will you.

Do the Chevaliers de Sainte Marie

mean anything to you?

Because they keep

being mentioned.

-Yeah, I've come across them too.

-Show me. Where?

Here, Monsignor Maurice Le Moyne.

And apparently, he's a Chevalier.

He lives in a home

for retired clergy...

...at Caunes.

I can't believe the Cardinal of Lyon

has given us all this information.

The Church is implicated

on every page. Come.

Thanks.

There's been another intercept.

They're sending a second man

to kill Brossard.

That's good.

-Why good?

-lt means the first one failed.

Have your people traced the source?

No. But the group

seem to know his movements.

-Someone must be tipping him off.

-Did they say where he is?

No, but they'll send him

where Brossard is hiding.

That means we haven't much time.

I'm gonna go and see an

old Jesuit friend of mine.

I'm going to visit a retired priest...

...in Caunes.

-Pierre?

-Yes, Father.

-Why are you here?

-I had to come.

-I have to confess.

-What's happened?

I've killed a man.

-Who?

-A Jew.

He was sent to kill me.

Absolve me, Father.

I didn't mean to do it.

It was self-defense, I swear,

I swear, I swear.

-How did you know it was a Jew?

-I have proof.

There's a statement that says...

...that for the events in Dombey...

...they mean to execute me,

for Dombey.

Shh, Pierre.

If, as you say, you have proof,

make it public.

No, no.

The people will see that the

Jews are persecuting you.

This may be the perfect moment

for you to give yourself up.

Never! I don't want to be locked up

in a cell for the rest of my life.

Just give me absolution, Father.

God's pardon is all that matters to me.

God will forgive you.

And I know

that you are truly penitent.

I will give you absolution.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you.

I got a message this morning from

a Colonel Roux. He wants to see me.

-This must be concerning you.

-Of course it's concerning me.

They're everywhere.

I'll leave now. Pray for me, Father.

Pierre, where will you go?

Pray that we meet again...

...in this world.

Annemarie.

Patrice.

My dear, it has been too long.

You haven't changed. You look

the same as when we were students.

You fool, that was 1 50

years ago. Talk sense.

Well, for all I know...

...you might have had a little

nip and tuck under the gills.

You haven't changed either.

-I'm so excited to see you again.

-You know why I'm here?
