In his best down-at-heel style, Don Vito is waiting in his car. He looks down at his watch too often. Then a taxi pulls up a few yards away. A strange being of indeterminate sex, body and face gets out. Pays off the taxi-driver through the window. Then turns towards him. It’s Madame Lissieux, disguised as a women’s rally driver champion of the 1940s, down to the goggles and gaiters. She waves effusively at Don Vito.

‘Take a look at that! It’s Fangio!’

But his expression changes when he gets out of the car and offers her the driving seat, after first kissing her hand in a gesture from a brilliantined gentleman to a somewhat ambiguous racing driver.

‘You always rise to the occasion.’

‘Who are we following? A dangerous criminal?’

‘The most dangerous of all. The state.’

Despite the goggles, Madame Lissieux’s professional concentration is obvious as she pulls out, ready to confront her fate.
