The story began in Montmartre.
That morning it was warm; I went as
usual for a walk.
My name is Antoine Gardon,
that's my name.
I am a secret agent, and I am
specialized in investigations.
I was still the only one with a
lead, and I would keep it.
I had to find her; my
whole life depended on it.
14 and 15.
- That's it.
I'll take it later.
- Agreed.
See you later.
Lucien, are you coming?
- Yes, I'm coming.
At that moment, I had them in my sights.
Is anyone here? Apparently, no one.
I thought I was alone.
But that was not the case.
Bibi Fricotin had seen me.
That's it; I'm sure.
The "Z" sign.
Antoine, a bit of courage
and the million is yours.
Can I help you, sir?
- Yes, absolutely.
Well, you see for yourself.
- There's nothing, not a thing.
I'll take him home.
- No, I bought him.
I'm taking him now.
- Keep your hands off that suitcase!
No, sir, it's mine.
- Give it here.
I never found out
what that guy was doing in the cupboard.
The devil is capable of anything.
Now there were two of us on this case.
Let go of the crate!
Wait!
I've been robbed!
My suitcase, I've been robbed!
After him!
Is it for sale?
- Yes.
Can I try it?
- Go ahead.
How much is it?
- 0.50 francs, sir.
It's delicious. Can I have my 20 francs?
- You haven't paid yet, sir.
I'll just return the cone.
My balloons!
So? Are you taking it or not?
- I don't like the color.
To Lyon station!
I went to pick up an ultramodern instrument
at my home.
Now I had to hide my loot.
The safest would be a deposit,
like you always see in American films.
Taxi, come back!
That'll be 195 francs, sir.
Honey, go make that deposit! And fast!
- A deposit?
What do you have there, ma'am?
- What does it matter to you?
Help yourself,
heaven will help you.
The job of a secret agent often
faces setbacks.
Miss FATMA,
fortune teller from Batignolles and.
Miss FATMA at the Italian lakes.
But fortunately,
Fricotin ran away; the first
suitcase with "Z" revealed its secret.
The second suitcase was in front of
the first, I went to visit a clairvoyant.
Miss Fatma - fortune teller.
Closed for a wedding.
They had trapped me there too.
She probably found it
at the baker's.
That's how it must be.
- Take it easy.
I need to speak with you urgently. It also
concerns my future.
Oh really? Very interesting, give
the other hand.
There.
- A bright future.
I can't tell you anything here
in public, come with me!
There are 30 cards. Deal them.
Honey? Where are you?
- Interesting, 1, 2, 3.
I see something. 1, 2, 3.
Very interesting. 1, 2, 3.
At the end of a chapter.
1, 2, 3.
You will have a noble task.
And a young blonde girl.
- What does that mean? - Silence!
A small village, a small village...
Do you have a map with you?
No.
Here is a map.
- Honey, honey...
I need to concentrate!
There it is.
- What does it say?
There it is, I'm sure.
- What?
It's in that area. I'm
rather clumsy, he comes
from Asia, northeast, and
goes to a Turkish bath.
A fortune.
- A fortune? Half for you.
There's also a traitor.
- Where is he?
Come.
The traitor!
We must stop him, come on!
- Honey?
Honey...
What does your stone say?
- For now, nothing.
I know, we must chase
the traitor, come.
That's enough now, we'll meet again,
Mr. Fricotin. I've already said too much.
Good day, sir.
- Good day, ma'am.
All okay?
- Everything fine.
Even better.
Let me through.
- Where are your manners?
Can't you see we're working?
- I'm working too, don't block the stairs.
So how should we do it then?
- How should I know.
Who are you moving with?
- Upstairs.
What does that mean? That's at my place.
That's my cat. What are you all doing?
I've been robbed!
Those are all my furniture.
It's a misunderstanding, do you hear me?
Can you bring back my things?
I can't watch this.
I'll get them myself, but
who do I see there? It's Bibi Fricotin!
Stop! It's Bibi Fricotin!
They're running away with my furniture.
A bathroom break?
- No, I'm stuck.
Bibi, you'll handle this, right?
Here, these are for you.
- Oh, thanks.
Thanks, but a piece is missing.
We need to lift.
Lift? That will never work.
See?
But if it works, then
no one will buy a car anymore.
You're right.
I'm tired. I've exhausted myself today.
- We can still camp, right?
But those are my furniture
over there.
Good day, ma'am.
I'd like some goat milk.
Don't turn like that, I
just want some milk.
Get to work.
You look different.
Shall we trade? I take your car and
you take the truck.
All right.
- Great.
You know, young man,
you have no manners.
Look over there!
You earned this!
Wait a minute, my compass.
Have you seen the bride?
- No.
Don't move anymore.
A hat, a rabbit, a
magic wand, it must be there.
Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention please.
We have begun the magic trick.
The rabbit trick.
With the magic wand, I can
make a rabbit disappear, you'll see.
All for the viewers.
We'll start shortly.
Is there a volunteer in
the audience who wants to come on stage
? I need a volunteer
for my show.
You'll see how the show
continues.
Spotlight on that volunteer there.
For a few sessions.
Ladies and gentlemen, you'll see the
funniest science.
You have nothing to fear.
It happened nearly a century ago.
The feared maharaja, he
grew up in an English family.
He wanted a wife, his wife who
lived as a prisoner, his favorite.
You, sir,
you will be the sultan.
- Me?
Yes... yes, you. There.
And this young woman...
Come here, you.
This is Marguerette.
- The blonde woman.
The sultan captured the woman.
It goes without saying it was delicate.
But the young girl still wanted
to leave the sultan.
That's true.
Here is the key, sire.
But an old palace wizard
said it was not a good idea.
Certainly not for the
heirs. During the
night while the
sultan was sleeping.
You play your role very well, sir.
He approached the chest and tapped
gently with his wand.
He whispered the words: Obelisk.
Great sun.
The next morning the sultan noticed,
come here, Mr. Sultan?
It's to you. Give me the key.
When the sultan made his slave
say "yes".
The bird had flown away.
Where is she? Where is she?
Sir, you did your
role well, congratulations.
You probably wonder
what happened to Marguerette.
Here she is, Marguerette.
Where is she? You made her
disappear.
Come on!
She will surely appear.
Did I wake you?
- No, it's morning.
Morning? It's noon. You have
quite a lot of sleep in your eyes.
May I?
Some people aren't satisfied
with what they have.
Will we stay here?
If you want, you may leave.
You don't like magic.
- I do... the real kind.
You prefer the rooster in its coop.
And bouquets of helmets.
Right?
I say things as they are.
- I'm used to it.
I feel at home here.
Have you been here before?
- No, it's my first time.
I know this place.
- So you know where we are.
We are home.
- I hate the city world.
I want to put everything in order.
The hat on the head and of course
handkerchiefs to cry.
The treasure in the safe.
And in a fairy tale.
- Did you say "a treasure"?
What's wrong now?
Just leave me alone. It's because of
this that they are interested in me.
And I keep going.
Excuse me.
You can't do that either.
The story is about my
great-grandfather Lefebvre.
The story is known in my family.
My uncle was a
villain. When he
started hitting me, I
started shouting: "my treasure".
And then he suddenly became nice.
That bothered me.
Catherine.
Have you seen a young girl by any chance?
No.
- A young girl in a flowered dress.
A flowered dress?
- Yes.
No.
Yes, they say he hid the secret
in a vase. But they
never found anything.
He has another house now.
- We need to go there.
It's far.
- I have an idea.
You'll hide for a while and
I'll get the travel money.
But where is that vase
right now?
In Soissons.
Are you the owner?
- I am, why?
I want to help, it's inhuman
to work here alone.
Can you serve?
- Me? What do you think?
I've worked in Paris cafs,
in the Nerles tower...
and at La Scala in Milan.
Fine, you can start right away.
- Thanks.
Before you, there was a little one,
a good little one.
It was the gas attendant's fault.
- How so?
A gas station attendant, a criminal.
They both ran away,
but now that you're here.
Everything will be fine.
So there's no gas attendant
left at the station?
Good, don't be like my
last gas attendant, eh!
He was a good boy,
but he ran off.
A bar be au Pigalle.
- Noted.
Nice weather.
- True.
A salad with everything.
- I'll bring it right away.
Pickles.
- Coming.
Waiter! Are the hors d'oeuvres
coming?
Bread!
- Coming.
A little faster, boy!
Waiter, bread!
- Coming.
What will it be, sir?
- Rusks.
A little faster, we're in a hurry.
- For what?
For the windows.
What time will we arrive?
- They'll never wait for us.
Robert, leave!
We've waited long enough.
Check my tire from behind.
Old man, I don't have time.
- Ready?
Have you gone mad?
- I'll be right there.
And my tire?
- Yes, I'm coming.
It annoys me, just do your job.
But where were you?
It was about time, and my fork?
- Coming.
What is this?
- Utensils for eating beans.
Here.
- No beans left.
And no utensils either.
Waiter, oil.
I want my omelet flambed.
Garage man, what's up, boy?
- I'm coming right away.
I'll serve you.
That's kind.
- I think so too.
Business going well?
- I don't know, sir.
A bit of freshness will do her good.
- Yes, go ahead.
Careful, sir.
- Yes.
Hey there!
- It really smells like gasoline here.
That's normal.
Here boy, keep the change.
- Thanks, sir.
Goodbye!
- Safe travels. - Thanks.
I have better things to do.
You're joking with me!
Here, sir, safe travels.
There's a lot of smoke.
Either it's a new or an old model.
I like it.
Think of those who stay.
My waiter.
- My gas attendant.
You're a child thief.
This is my employee.
Silly boy.
- I'll...
Well?
- No one saw anything.
I'll make a tour around the world.
- Is that all you have to say?
What does it matter?
- What's wrong with you?
You hurt me.
- Leave me alone.
If I had money, I could
buy equipment.
So... no villages, buttons,
and what else...
We'll go to the municipal guard,
there will be gold and red
throughout the room.
They can finish it with purple.
I've finally found you.
I'm not mistaken.
Excuse me, madam.
I can see from your teeth
that you need our help.
I'm not wrong, sir, don't
let your lineage die out.
I represent the Passe-Partout agency.
You know our agency. We find
who your ancestors were.
You can find us at Balzaque 0.0.2.
My name is Antoine Gardon,
secret agent.
I already know. You're looking for
your great-grandfather's treasure.
I'll find the treasure.
- I don't need your help!
I know everything already.
- What do you know?
I'm on the right track. We must
be careful; I'm not alone.
You didn't find it, but
I can, half is mine.
My way!
- No, I know everything.
The treasure belongs to
the first Tutron family member.
How do you know that?
- Secret agent.
So, half each?
- My niece can go away.
She is also looking for the
treasure with a rogue.
It can't be true, right?
- Calm down, let me handle it.
They haven't managed to escape yet.
You have to kill them.
- No need, I have a better idea.
We can just turn the key.
What do you think? Half each.
Okay, half each.
We can go!
Come on.
- First the family.
That's about 100 km.
- You think so?
Count yourself.
Do you have a car?
- No.
There they are!
- Come on, we have to get out of here.
A taxi.
- It's free.
Look, they're slipping away.
We should take the tractor,
it's faster.
Hey, hands off that tractor!
- Is it yours?
No, but still!
Go ahead with the goat.
They're catching up.
- Is it not true?
Step on the gas.
I got it, you take over.
Look!
They've stopped. We can
go on foot now.
Come, let's hide here.
There they are.
That's him!
Play with us, it's this way.
I didn't know.
Leave the grounds immediately.
No discussion!
Come with me.
Come on guys, everyone in place.
Gardon? Gardon? Gardon? Gardon?
God damn, where are you?
Can you please
help me? I need to find this person
named Tricotin.
Give me this.
You should know what we're playing.
- Rugby or something else...
Union of gendarmes.
Attention: gendarmes,
among the players there are spectators
present, in other words cheaters.
They're among us, watch out.
Gendarmes, pay attention!
Gendarmes, I can count on your
support to play correctly.
Do your job and arrest the suspect.
Watch out, now.
Gendarmes, I am very satisfied.
And congratulations again!
We must get out of here quickly.
Sir, will you stop
making so much noise soon!
Come on now.
Get going, leave!
Wait, that's Catherine!
Catherine!
I'm coming down.
- We finally found him.
That's fine.
- Thanks for coming.
I owe you my thanks,
you helped me a lot.
Catherine, my niece.
How did you get here?
Who is that?
- I'll explain.
Do you have the vase?
- The vase?
The vase that leads to the treasure.
The vase? Let's see.
- Yes.
I never believed in it.
- But yes.
I gave it to the museum curator.
But where is the vase then?
Don't make too much noise,
come with me.
The curator doesn't want
to be disturbed.
He's busy preparing his speech.
A minister will be present.
Don't make so much noise.
And that's why the earth
has a secret treasure.
Today, Mr. Minister,
with your agreement.
This is my niece and...
- Fricotin.
Bibi Fricotin.
They came here for my speech.
Young man, you've probably already
heard about me.
We have a Gallo-Roman tribe. The
minister wanted to attend himself.
To hear me speak.
- Do you think he'll find it interesting?
I'm sure of it.
It means a lot for
my future career.
Do you think the vase is here?
- I think so. In this cabinet.
And the keys?
- In the desk drawers.
You're not going to...
- No.
Come closer, we can
be one big family.
It would be a pleasure
to have a cup of coffee with you.
Miss, you first.
I didn't know you had a
charming niece.
Yes, wow, what a collection!
I have a passion
for art. If I weren't
in this position,
I would be a hunter.
Hunting, the field, the forest.
Then I would have the choice.
Sometimes I wonder why
I didn't do that.
I encounter these rare wild animals
and it's the day of my life.
Of course, we all know
it's a dangerous profession.
Everything wild is dangerous.
Go on, continue.
- Since you insist.
I'll tell you a story.
It's exciting.
- One day...
I held my gun very tightly.
It was between the beast and me.
It got dark, I waited.
20.00 hours.
21.00 hours. No one?
I've been robbed. Everything is taken.
It will be terrible.
It's exactly as if I hear it.
Listen to me, you must
help me find the treasure.
I need the key, the key to
the drawer in the desk. It's there.
Come with me.
Go look for it.
Watch out for those apes,
load and fire.
Take a sip, you earned it.
Now, get to work.
They can't see you.
Run for your life!
The vase isn't here.
I have an idea where it is.
But, Mr. Minister. My
apologies, Mr. Minister.
You're chasing?
- Yes, the ape.
Sorry for my outfit, but
fortunately there's no danger for you now.
We've chased them away.
I have everything under control.
Oh, Mr. Minister.
Ah, a photo, yes, thank you very much.
Mr. Minister, madam,
miss, gentlemen.
Mr. Minister...
Excuse me.
Minister, the swallowed contempt
lurks in the shadows...
waiting for you, Mr. Minister, who
will bring it back to the light.
The first strike of a pickaxe
you are about to make, Mr. Minister.
It's a hidden corner, never
before seen in this region.
It's the earth, the depth,
and the past, which we will now see.
No one but you, Mr.
Minister, is qualified
to honor the remains
of Norwegian civilization.
And I might even say,
almost Carolingian.
Look there, he disguised himself
as a minister.
Our government deals with it daily,
Mr. Minister.
The unwavering plans
of the new society.
Bravo, very good. That's the real truth.
It's your turn, Mr. Minister.
I must jump into that pit?
- It's for a good cause.
Yes, very well.
I have to go in too.
- I'll help you.
I was just about to ask you.
Very good, bravo.
The shovel, the shovel.
- Right, the shovel.
In my name, thank you.
It's here, Mr. Minister.
You're on fire.
- You think?
Certainly, it smells of the past.
I don't smell anything.
- Yes, you do.
Oh, look at that.
It's from the third century.
Mr. Minister, you handle it well.
You are very kind.
What is this?
Mr. Minister, you are
an archaeologist and a minister.
This is too much.
A Gallo-Roman portrait.
- Probably Eduarieux.
City Hall Bazaar of Paris number 295.
Should we keep searching?
- Yes, go ahead.
I'll search myself.
- Very good.
You're lucky.
- Yes, really.
That's also Gallo-Roman
without a doubt.
We've found something, right?
- Yes, that's true.
Did you happen to find a vase?
A vase?
- To complete the collection.
Of course, the Normans
used a vase.
We'll keep searching.
- There, there.
Don't you think...
- No, there.
I was looking for this vase.
- He found it.
Yes, that's the vase.
The president will
be pleased. After this
discovery, you will be
named an honorary citizen.
Mr. Minister is too
good to me for such a small thing.
Don't be so modest. I will
personally give this to the president.
No way.
- Oh yes.
I insist.
It's not done yet, sir.
We must continue searching.
A Roman.
Listeners, he arrived
at the right moment.
Your hat.
There they are.
Lon, you're going to drown.
You go right, you
go left, come on.
Come on, let's jump.
They're far away, luckily.
We're lucky.
Oh, the box.
I leave my treasure
to the first family member
who finds it in my
house, in Mardol.
Same for the formula
of the kabbalistic word,
whoever owns it will
trick the greedy.
Caligula Astro Tatarstan
king's magician.
That was indeed my great-grandfather.
What does it ultimately mean?
What is all this?
The Mardol is across the water.
I can't go on.
- Look there.
Aren't you too tired?
- No, all good.
It's quite noisy, huh?
The Mardol is there.
Quite noisy, huh?
- Yes, terrible!
Do you hear me? We need to get off now.
Is this the manor?
- Yes.
So it's here.
- Yes, indeed.
What kind of manners is this?
- Come along.
What are they sticking out now?
Stop it, will you!
Do you see anything?
- No.
Keep searching.
We can't help it.
We've come this far already.
Did you manage to get down?
Is it in here?
- I think so.
It's like a suitcase,
do you have some change?
Change, why?
- You'll see.
See, it's like those games.
Apple, apple, lemon, lemon, lemon.
We lost.
- I'm starting to understand.
Wait a moment.
Obelisk, Sphinx, sun.
Obelisk, Sphinx, sun.
Gold, gold...
Gold, gold, gold...
Well, I am the games inspector.
The machine is a money-making machine.
The May 1950 law
prohibits playing
on such machines
throughout the territory.
It is clear that this
is a game of chance.
In other words, the money
won must be confiscated.
I'm sorry.
- You won't do that!
I'm just doing my job.
So, in other words, is it over?
THE END
Wait, it's not over yet.
Obelisk, Sphinx, sun.
Obelisk, Sphinx, sun.
This is for you.
It's a beautiful legacy from your father.
Are you happy, Catherine?
Absolutely, you're really a great Bibi.
Now, it's done.
