The Count of Monte Cristo

1:30:00

I'm told you are an expert
in the interpretation of the law.

1:30:04

I have a certain matter
that perhaps you could help me with.

1:30:15

Excuse me.

1:30:17

Fernand.

1:30:19

Fernand! The toast!

1:30:23

Not right now.
I have state business to attend to.

1:30:25

The guests expect it.
Albert expects it.

1:30:28

- You give it, my dear.
I'm sure it'll be splendid.
- You are his father!

1:30:32

It is the least you can do.
You know how he admires you.

1:30:37

- Then he will forgive my absence.
- But...

1:30:42

I thought we agreed
not to meet socially.

1:30:46

How could I pass up
the Count of Monte Cristo?

1:30:50

Quite.

1:30:53

- What do you know of him?
- He's foreign, rich.

1:30:59

- I hear he aided your son.
- Why does he seek your counsel?

1:31:03

Why should I tell you?

1:31:05

When my son returned from Rome...

1:31:08

he mentioned he'd heard Monte Cristo
saying he was expecting a shipment.

1:31:12

He also heard the words
"gold" and "Spada."

1:31:17

- Hmm.
- You don't believe...

1:31:20

Monte Cristo
has found the treasure of Spada.

1:31:23

Not an hour ago, he asked me to help
him avoid troublesome inspections...

1:31:26

on a shipment coming from Marseilles.

1:31:28

- Hmm.
- I could have him arrested.

1:31:30

Don't do that.
Let's just relieve him of it.

1:31:35

- How do you propose...
- I have an acquaintance
who deals in these matters.

1:31:38

Tell Monte Cristo you'll get
his shipment through Customs...

1:31:40

but that it will have
to stay in port overnight.

1:31:43

I shall have it removed and taken
to my old family estate in Bouchon...

1:31:47

where we shall meet
the following day.

1:31:53

I require 70 percent.

1:31:56

- And yet you'll only get 50.
- Done.
