Peggy drops him off a few miles down the road. She ends up writing her number on her window. François gets on his motorcycle and shows up at her house. Peggy tells François about being divorced from her husband. When François leaves her home, he is followed by someone. He is asked to speak to Peggy's divorce lawyer, Marc Rilson (Alain Delon). François finds out that Peggy killed her husband and was acquitted for the murder when her lawyer pleaded temporary insanity. Peggy becomes paranoid and kills her bodyguard. Then she ends up staying overnight with François. The following day she returns home to get her belongings. The police were there to ask her questions and took her in for questioning for the murder. She was told not to leave the city without giving notice. They leave to the Turini mountains, followed by Marc.

Later, they admire the mountain view and Marc shoots her.
