-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?

:11:03
Agreed.
:11:05
The planning will be mine.
:11:07
No one else will get the details
and you won't hear from me again.

:11:10
Here's the name and account number
of my bank in Switzerland.

:11:13
When they tell me the first $250,000
has been deposited, I'll move...

:11:16
...provided I'm ready.
:11:18
But I'll not be hurried in any way.
:11:21
Agreed.
:11:22
All I want from you is
a phone number in Paris...

:11:24
...that I can call
about changes in De Gaulle's plans.

:11:27
The contact mustn't know
who I am or what this is about.

:11:30
Send me the number by mail.
:11:31
How do you expect us
to find the money so soon?

:11:34
Use your network to rob some banks.
:11:36
One last thing.
:11:41
What code name will you use?
:11:43
Why not "The Jackal"?
:11:46
Why not?
:11:48
There's nothing more you want from us.
You'll be working completely alone.

:11:52
Not completely.
One will have the cooperation of De Gaulle.

:11:56
He won't listen to his security service
and stay out of the public eye.
