The Day of the Jackal1973
Minister:
Commissioner Berthier, any suggestions?
Berthier:
We're in trouble on this one. Our agents inside the OAS can't pin him down, since not even the OAS knows who he is. Action Service can't destroy him; they don't know who to destroy. The gendarmes, all forty-eight thousand of them, can't pursue him; they don't know who to pursue. The police can't arrest him. How can they? They don't know who to arrest. Without a name, all other proposals are meaningless. The first task, then, is to find it. We get a name, we get a passport and a face. And with a face, we get an arrest. But to find his name, and to do it in secret, is a job of pure detective work.
Minister:
Commissioner, who is the best detective on the force?
Berthier:
The best detective is my own deputy commissioner, Claude Lebel.
