Yeah?
Mm.

It means "a wise man has fallen silent."

Are you calling me wise?
Maybe.

Mm!
Thank God you're here.
Why?
What's wrong?
Quick!
I need your help.
Something's happened, and I'm scared out of my wits.
Oh.
Oh.
Alright, well, how can we help?
Well... You remember when I helped you and Georgina move into your first house?
Yeah, about 19-- 1995.
"Stanley Road" was top of the album charts.
Yeah, you bought two copies.
One for me, one for you.
Exactly.
Well, when I was here, there was a card game in this pub, and a woman was knocked unconscious, and she never woke up.
Yeah, I remember that.
It was all over the local papers.
Well, I actually witnessed it.
Wow.
You never told me you were there.
Of course I didn't.
I'd only just got out of the nick for the first time.
I didn't want you thinking I was wrapped up in something bad again, and I'd only just helped move you in.
So, I made a statement, and I identified the bloke who did it as Sonny Montario, who... was a local gangster.
Oh.
You identified a local gangster?
He was in the lineup!
I didn't know that he was a gangster at the time.
I thought it was just a friendly after-hours card game.
So, what happened at the game?
He was full of booze, thought she was cheating him.
And the red mist fell, and he pushed her.
Cracked her skull on the way down.
Oh, what a charmer.
Oh, it gets worse.
She was pregnant.
And they both died.
Oh, that's awful.
[Scoffs] The judge threw the book at him.
He went down for it big time.
They don't mess about over here.
That must have been the day I couldn't find you.
So, you weren't on a day trip to Lourdes after all!
So, why are you so scared?
I hid something for Sonny.
He wants it back.
We'll take three dozen if you can drop the price by 10%.
Man: Okay.
Fantastic.
E-mail me on dispatch.
Of course.
Thank you.
I'm so proud of you, Mrs.
Lloyd James.
Of little me?
I find your corporate speak very attractive, my darling.
Who knew it was this easy to run a pub?
I'm surprising myself with my talent to delegate all the work.
While I get all the pleasure.
[Chuckles] Oh, I think you'll find that we get all the pleasure.
Oh.
[Chuckles] Darling.
[Clears throat] Oh.
So, just when he was leaving, Sonny made me hide his winnings.
What did he win?
Money and an envelope that Gabriella put down as a stake.
I remember tossing it in one of those big stone jars.
I can't believe they're still here.
I can.
You ever try to move one of those stone jars?
Celine asked me to move one once.
Nearly put me back out.
Wow.
I've not seen banknotes like that since -- Uncle Patrick: 1999 when France joined the Euro.
They're worthless now.
Oh.
This is parchment and I'd say circa... 1800s.
The woman who died said it was key to a fortune that was hidden in Ste.
Victoire.
Hmm.
May I?
Of course.
"Behind the window without a view, "in the dark we survive.
"Safe forever in the Ste.
Victoire stone "for the lucky one to find."
And it's dated 1814, and the initials are U.D.
I often thought about the old hidden treasure, but I reckon it was just nonsense.
I thought I'd come back and have a look for it sometime, just out of curiosity, but, uh... I thought I'd have all the time in the world.
What do you mean?
You're not -- you're not ill, are you?
No, not that.
Sonny phoned this morning from prison.
What?
How did he know you were back?
Word gets around easy, doesn't it?
He thinks that I found the treasure and I've held on to it for all these years.
And of course, you haven't.
No, I have not, thank you.
Alright, just checking.
Please.
I'm begging you.
You've got to help me find that treasure if it still exists.
Sonny Montario is not a man to be messed with.
What do you think he's going to do?
He's just spent 28 years in prison for double homicide.
What do you think?
Oh!
Right.
[Exhales sharply] What can I get you?
Patrick, I have fabulous news.
I have just ordered 36 dishes in the shape of berets for the French fries.
Pardon?
Novelty serving dishes are all the rage in the best gastro pubs.
I'm not sure that would be very popular with the locals.
French fries in French hats?
What could be more local?
You're the boss.
Now, how about a buy one, get one free on the full English?
But would there be the demand?
70% of our customers are French.
Of course there would be.
It's only because they can't get it usually.
And who doesn't like a full English?
Oh, she's an entrepreneurial whiz kid, isn't she?
Um, hi.
We'll be outside.
Okey-dokey.
Large one?
Merci.
Merci.
You know, my Uncle Mick once got raided for cooking a full English.
What?
Well, he told his mum, me Auntie Doris, that he was making hash browns, and she misunderstood and called the drug squad.
That is not true.
I swear.
You go and ask Uncle Patrick.
He'll tell you.
Read me that again.
[Groans] [Clears throat] "Behind the window without a view, "in the dark we survive."

Oh, pass it over here.

I think I need some sort of police protection.
Has Monsieur Montario made any contact with you in all the years he has been in prison?
Of course he hasn't!
He's been waiting -- waiting for his moment of revenge.
He's probably been planning this for years!
Monsieur Montario will be 72 years old when he is released.
You're never too past it to use a gun.
You've got to help me.
He has an exemplary prison record.

Oh, thank you.
Before I start looking, could you refresh me on the window tax?
Of course.
It was a tax on windows in Europe.
But it started in England.
Yes, it would seem that the government back then had taxed everything else, so now they thought they would tax your right to light.
So corrupt.
You know, it was another way to tax the rich.
If you had over a certain amount of windows, you would have to pay a tax.
So, what happened?
People got inventive, and they bricked or boarded some of their windows up.
Here are some of the houses that were affected in Ste.
Victoire.
Oh, thank you.
