:47:02
We're in trouble on this one.
:47:04
Our agents inside the OAS
can't pin him down...

:47:06
...since not even the OAS know who he is.
:47:09
Action Service can't destroy him.
They don't know who to destroy.

:47:12
Surveillance can't get him at the border,
they don't know what he looks like.

:47:16
The gendarmes, all 48,000 of them,
can't pursue him.

:47:19
They don't know who to pursue.
:47:21
The police can't arrest him.
We don't know who to arrest.

:47:25
Without a name,
all other proposals are meaningless.

:47:28
The first task, then, is to find it.
:47:30
With a name, we get a passport and a face.
:47:34
With a face, we get an arrest.
:47:37
But to find his name,
and to do it in secret...

:47:40
...is a job of pure detective work.
:47:43
Commissioner,
who is the best detective on the force?

:47:49
The best detective...
:47:50
...is my own deputy commissioner,
Claude Lebel.

:47:59
Claude!
:48:04
Berthier wants to see you.
:48:07
-What? Now?
-He's sent a car.

:48:11
Don't be back later than 9:00.
:48:29
Commissioner Lebel.
:48:35
Good evening.
:48:38
Remember, you have full powers
in this investigation...

:48:41
...and the resources of every department
represented here entirely at your disposal.

:48:45
My instructions are simply:
no publicity and do not fail.

:48:50
Keep your copy of the report.
:48:53
Any questions?
:48:55
No, Minister.
:48:56
In that case, I'll not detain you.
