You made it.
Once again you see
the hill of Biriatou.
Once again you have that stale,
anxious taste of crossing the border.
You drove all night.
Your mouth is dry from too little sleep
and too much tobacco.
Once again you cross this border
in the shimmering early-morning light.
over the Elizondo peaks.
Once again, you'll make it over.
It's all right.
You'll make your train.
All night I was afraid
But there was no reason.
I had the car checked.
An obsession.
You know how it is.
At night, the stretch
between Burgos and Miranda...
No offense, but service stations in
your country leave a lot to be desired.
I didn't dare push the car too hard.
I was afraid.
If it weren't for you,
I would have played tourist today.
A good meal
in a seafood restaurant.
Crabe in a hot sauce
with a nice white wine.
Or roast pig at Bottine's,
behind the Plaza Mayor.
And in the afternoon,
a bullfight, of course.
I generally don't get the time
to see the towns I go to.
Believe it or not, I haven't even
set foot yet in the Prado in Madrid!
I can tell you now...
last night when you said
we had to rush back, I was furious.
That wasn't hard to see.
We usually spend the night talking, but
last night you acted like I didn't exist.
I'd arranged to be away three days.
My wife was going
to run the bookshop alone.
Today the Prado.
Tomorrow Toledo and Aranjuez.
A three-day vacation,
in other words.
So last night when you read
and then said we had to set out
immediately, I was fuming!
So I ruined your trip, eh?
Take it up
with the Spanish police.
- There's a crowd already.
- Easter. They spend the day in Spain.
Easier for you.
They have less time to check passports.
- How did you manage it before?
- Before?
When the border was closed.
When there were no tourists.
We crossed over
through the mountains.
Sometimes we ran into
the Guardia Civil.
- And then?
- Then we'd shoot our way through.
- You're no problem at all.
- Why?
No one hearing you talk
would take you for a Spaniard.
Even I forget sometimes.
didn't speak a word of French.
He pretended to be asleep.
If they had asked him a single question,
our goose would have been cooked.
With you it's a cinch.
Please park your car
and step inside the station.
- Why? Listen, I'm in a hurry.
- Police check. Pull the car up there.
Come on, let's go.
- What's all this about?
- I've no idea either.
You think it's a random check?
You sure your papers are okay, Carlos?
Remember what we said.
It'll be all right.
Leave the key in the car.
Follow me.
- What about our bags?
Have you got something
against Citroens today?
Thank you.
So that's it.
I bought some books in his shop.
We struck up an acquaintance.
And so, Mr. Rene Sallanches,
you were there on vacation?
Yes.
- Alone?
- Yes, alone.
And you live in Paris
at Rue de I'Estrapade, number 4?
No, number 7.
And you met Mr.Jude
in his bookshop in Hendaye?
That's right.
And Mrs. Jude...
What's her first name again?
Marie. She's charming.
Do you have
a telephone in Paris?
Of course.
Medicis 33-74.
It's Sunday morning.
You'll wake up Nadine.
I told her nothing's wrong, but
she's worried and wants to speak to you.
What's wrong?
Did you run over another old lady?
- Everything's fine.
- Why did he call?
- A simple formality.
- Busybody.
These things happen, you know.
