concentration camp
at that time.
- ls Monsieur Berje home?
- He's waiting for you.
Yesterday, near the dock warehouses
in Sete
the body of a certain
Jose Ramiro was found.
With three knife cuts on the slain
body, one of which was a deadly one.
Allegedly, he was linked
to drug dealers,
and killed by one of his accomplices.
lf so, Jose Ramiro's murder
is linked to lnterpol busting
of a plane with a load of weed aboard.
Two pilot-smugglers were killed in
the crossfire with the police.
Monsieur Borde.
lt's also possible that Jose Ramiro
was taken out by a rivalry gang.
What a coincidence. l see your trip
to Sete was successful, too.
This way or the other, this murder
again draws our attention
to the crucial problem of fighting
drug dealing,
which is swelling up to formidable
proportions not only in our country.
What have you got to say?
The Swede is on it. But he asks
to double his reward.
And he won't take any checks.
Only cash.
Besides, the whole the sum upfront,
right before the operation.
But why?
- Says risk has doubled.
- That's true.
But why all the money upfront?
Have we ever cheated him?
Says, if anything happens to him,
he needs dough to provide for a girl.
l'm sure nothing will happen.
Lancier, can you find someone else
instead of him?
With an attitude like his...
But this will take time. This is not
so simple to find a replacement.
What the hell are you talking about?
What time?
Ramiro let us down.
And now we're in big trouble.
Alright.
He'll get what he wants.
But only half of it upfront,
the other half - after he does it.
After he fulfills his end of the deal.
ls everything clear?
- Right.
- Okay, go then.
Lancier, wait a minute, please.
Be present there, too. And then
you'll tell how it all went.
You got me?
l don't like his demands.
You may tell him this.
Janek, l'll go downstairs.
l have to meet someone.
And you go to bed.
l'm taking the key with me.
Get a good rest,
Monsieur Borowski.
Thank you, Monsieur Challot.
Why do your cigarettes smell
so bad?
Okay, what do you say?
Your reward will be doubled.
And you'll get it in cash,
but the terms of payment remain
the same:
half of the sum before the operation,
the other half - after it.
l said, all the money upfront.
Boss asked me to warn you
that he doesn't like your demands.
l'm your friend and l'll give you
one tip - don't fight with him.
Okay, it's a deal.
But listen, this is for the last time.
Don't count on me in the future.
So now you can make bigger
money somewhere else?
No, Borde, itjust turns my guts
to think
that my Kristine will marry
someone else.
And what will she do if you're
found slain like Jose in Sete,
or elsewhere,
with a knife in your guts,
or with a bullet in your head?
Don't try to frighten me, Borde.
l won't rat on you.
l'm just sick of all this.
That's enough!
l warned you, buddy.
lt's up to you.
Sleep on it.
Here's your ticket.
Your flight is today.
Okay. l gotta go.
What crap were you saying there,
huh?!
Who the hell did you open up to?
To this bastard Borde?
You're right. l acted like a fool.
But l've decided...
l'll make big money on this operation
and then tell them to lay off.
- So you agreed, didn't you?
- Sure.
- And who's this Kristine?
- His bride, my sister.
How very touching.
So you are almost a family.
lf so, you should take care of him.
Go after him and keep an eye
on him.
Here's the money. You're
in charge of this operation.
You'll hand it over via Borde.
- Which of them brought up Jose?
- The one named Borde.
And who was the one he warned?
No clue.
- Was there someone else there?
- Yes, but his name wasn't mentioned.
Robert, go to the hotel and find out
who stays in this room.
You got it.
lf he's there, call me right away.
Yes, Commissar.
Maybe this is of no importance
and we're wasting your precious time,
but as we're talking murder here,
l thought it was my duty...
Relax, you acted
