Then Salvator's father is killed in a car crash whilst being chased by the police and Michel fears retribution as he informed Gerrard about Salvator's plans.When Michel and Henri set off to rescue two aunts involved in a car accident, Henri proposes a business partnership with Michel in Le Touquet. After their return, Michel attends the funeral of Salvator's father where Gerrard arrests the gangster and Michel gets involved in the struggle. Michel then buys an engagement ring for Josette, his favourite mistress, before spending a relaxing Christmas alternating between his family and Josette whilst dreaming of a new life in Le Touquet.
