We are not terrorists, you understand.
We are patriots.

:09:11
Our duty is to the soldiers
who died fighting in Algeria...

:09:14
...and the 3 million French citizens
who live there.

:09:17
You want to get rid of him?
:09:21
Speaking as a professional,
do you think it's possible?

:09:25
It's possible.
The point is getting away with it.

:09:29
As a professional,
it's an important consideration.

:09:31
In principle, you'd say it could be done?
:09:36
Yes. With enough time and planning.
:09:39
It would be more difficult
than most targets.

:09:42
Why more?
:09:43
Because De Gaulle has
the best security in the world.

:09:46
Their information is first-class.
:09:49
You see, gentlemen,
not only have your own efforts failed...

:09:52
...but you've queered the pitch for others.
:09:54
-How dare you suggest..
-You can't afford to be emotional.

:09:58
It's why you've made so many mistakes.
:10:00
-If we decided to employ a professional--
-You have to employ a professional.

:10:04
Your organization is
so riddled with informers...

:10:07
...that nothing you decide
is a secret for long.

:10:10
The job would have to be done
by an outsider.

:10:13
The only question is
by whom and for how much?

:10:17
Will you do it?
:10:21
-Yes.
-How much?

:10:22
Understand, this is a once-in-a-lifetime job.
:10:24
-They can never work again.
-How much?

:10:26
-Half a million, in cash.
-What?

:10:28
Half in advance and half on completion.
:10:30
-Half a million francs?
-Dollars.

:10:33
Are you mad?
:10:34
Considering you'd get France in return,
I thought it a reasonable price.

:10:38
But if you can't manage it,
there's nothing more to be said.

:10:43
We accept.
:10:47
How many people know about this?
:10:49
-Just the four of us.
-Let's keep it that way.

:10:51
This job depends on absolute secrecy.
:10:54
No notes must be kept.
:10:55
If any of you is captured, I shall call it off.
:10:58
I suggest you stay in a safe place under
guard until the work is done. Agreed?
