No.

Are you through?

- You can email them to me.

- All right.

- Shall we have a look in there?

- OK.

It's a nice piece.

It's a Tuareg knife. A real one.

- What are you doing?

- Testing it. Knives should cut.

I'll take it.

Why did you do that?

It's a habit.

In my work I often had to face

extreme situations,

serpent bites, lack of medication.

It worried my wife a lot.

Your wife...

You...

That's a very nice pot holder.

Well done.

- What's wrong?

- I'd parked the car here.

- Are you sure?

- Absolutely certain.

- Do you think they stole it?

- That old banger? No.

They must have impounded it.

It happens to me all the time.

We'll call and find out.

Sh*t. I left my phone in your car.

We'll use a payphone, the old way.

- Let me help you.

- No, no. It's fine.

I was that badly parked?

I didn't see the sign.

It's not clearly visible.

Yes. How much?

- Gilles.

- The price has gone up again?

- That's a good money-spinner.

- Gilles, I must warn Alex.

Yes. Can I collect the car now?

So the price has changed

but the address is the same?

Listen, I'll wait a bit longer

then I'll take a cab.

Call me, though. Love you, darling.

I'll have to go to the pound.

It's miles away. Take a taxi.

No, I won't leave you like this.

Alex will have to wait for me.

Hold this, please. Thank you.

- Are you available?

- Yes, sir.

- Let me help.

- Thank you. Hello?

Darling, what's up?

I couldn't reach you.

You forgot your mobile

in Gilles' car?

Why are you still with him?

Oh. Listen, I'm taking a cab.

See you at home.

- OK. Thank you. See you later.

- See you later.

He's taking a taxi.

I'm really sorry. Listen, wait for

me in the bar where we had a drink.

- I'll go, then come collect you.

- I can come. I'm not encumbered.

Yes, you are.

Do as I said. I'll be back soon.

The gate's open. He's back.

I'm really sorry I made you late.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure he forgives me.

- I'd ask you in for a drink, but...

- That wouldn't be a good idea.

Go on in.

Don't forget your pot holder.

Bye.

Your garden will be marvellous.

Where do you get your ideas?

- From Gilles.

- You spend time with him?

I know you don't like him,

but he's so full of good advice.

Besides, he's quite sociable

for a loner.

He's curious, chatty even.

No, I love talking to him.

I learn a lot of things.

- Be careful anyway.

- How?

Don't believe everything he says.

About his wife, for example.

- You think he made her up?

- He was alone when he moved here.

He told me she'd left.

What do you think that means?

That she left him?

Or do you think she died?

There's something strange about

his past. We just don't know what.

But one thing's for sure.
