PO Box 345. I have the suitcase.

Test completed.

Now we can trust you with

the real merchandise.

What do you mean? And yesterday?

No, that was just powdered sugar.

A test to confirm that everything

was under control.

- Hello?

- Yes, I'm listening.

You'll part tomorrow morning.

Same route. Anything to report?

No, nothing to report.

Why didn't he tell his bosses

about the policeman who spotted him

and to whom he stupidly revealed

everything?

I don't know. Maybe he was afraid

of bad marks, or something more serious:

they could have considered him a

traitor for not telling them earlier.

But there is still time for them

to change the links of the chain

which are known to the police.

Yes, but the first one to be

eliminated is surely Elias himself.

And then, he is unhappy with Frank

and the others for all those tests.

Perhaps he also wants to return

to bring Mathieu all those

magazines that he promised.

- And why the policeman...

What's his name? - Lorentz.

Why did this Lorentz left

Elias alone?

He probably knew that the first time

the suitcase would be empty.

It must be standard procedure

in that business.

And your Elias goes quietly

to the slaughter?

So it seems. Here he is, anyway,

arriving back in Antwerp.

And here again he leaves the

trick suitcase in the locker.

And here is Officer Lorentz,

resuming his surveillance.

- How does Lorentz know which exact

train he'll take? - No idea.

Maybe Elias also revealed that

at the port.

But Elias himself did not know

about the second trip.

The second trip may have been

planned well beforehand.

But Elias told Mathieu that he

didn't know when he'd be back.

For security reasons, no doubt.

I mean... Are you taking a walk?

Yes, right. A walk.

I'm saying that's a nice scarf

you have.

I know a man who wears one

exactly like that.

It's pure silk, isn't it?

The man's a priest,

his name is Petitjean.

- You know Father Petitjean?

- Of course, I know him well.

I also know him well.

But I haven't seen him in a while.

They tell me he is travelling.

- That's right.

He left on a trip.

If we want news of him,

we go to Cafe l'Ocean,

just across from the customs.

Thank you.

Have a nice walk, young man.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Are you waiting for Father Petitjean?

- He is not back from his trip yet.

- What are you looking at?

- Nothing.

You are probably waiting for

Father Petitjean.

No, I know the priest has not...

et cetera et cetera.

If you want news of him,

you have to come to my place.

I forgot something.

Back in two minutes.

Wait for me.

There. I forgot to buy this.

Couldn't it wait?

Of course...

But I was afraid I'd forget.
