3:34:03
Very grave.
3:34:05
And he has asked us to give him
whatever advice we can...
3:34:09
before he faces
the Director-General.
3:34:11
(Chabrier) lt is not so much
the Director-General.
3:34:14
It is the whole board of inquiry
he has to look out for.
3:34:17
There is nothing I can tell them.
3:34:20
Nonsense. You went to Cuba
on a mission for the Americans.
3:34:24
You obtained certain information
for them. That's true?
3:34:28
Yes.
3:34:29
You refuse to pass it on
to your own government.
3:34:33
I cannot, my friends... Believe me.
3:34:37
Why not?
3:34:39
There are leaks in our government
and I don't know where they are.
3:34:44
- I think I must go.
- No, Jean, stay.
3:34:46
(Jacques) No-one will be
compromised, l promise you.
3:34:57
André,
To be a man of principle is one thing
3:35:01
but a man doesn't cut his throat
on principle.
3:35:05
I have no desire to cut my throat.
3:35:09
(Jean) Then tell us, your friends.
That's why we are here.
3:35:12
Be reasonable, André.
We are trying to help you.
3:35:16
Yes, my friends. Slowly.
3:35:18
Slowly.
3:35:21
Let André tell us in his own way.
3:35:28
Have any of you
in your official work
3:35:30
had any hint of a spy ring
called Topaz?
3:35:45
- No?
- What kind of a ring?
3:35:49
It's a number of Frenchmen,
3:35:51
compatriots of ours,
high in official circles,
3:35:55
working for the Soviet Union.
3:35:58
- I go.
- (Devereaux) Sit down. l need you.
