Load up the body and let's get out of here.
This is murder.
We have to report it.
There is no time for that bullshit.
Open the door, Theo.
I want no part in this, Eddy.
Either we do this or we're all looking at a 20 years stretch.
Walter Drop Roxane off and head to Helena's place with Theo.
You got to hers last night at 8 and spent the night at her bedside.
You've got 2 hours to agree on a story.
Internal affairs will be onto it first thing.
Okay.
What do I tell, Helene? -Nothing.
She's not to know.
Take a cold bath, sort your head out and keep off the coke till after the disciplinary.
If you crack, you'll be busted, and if you're busted, we'll all be.
Theo, for fuck's sake, what have you done?! - I didn't do it on purpose! - You didn't do it on purpose?! - What have you done? - I didn't do it on purpose! Eddy, it's been ages - Get in.
I can't.
I've got a client.
How much? - A lot.
I'll double it for the night.
And I'll throw in a present, too.
Is it really that bad? What about Eddy? Where's he? I dunno.
Go back to bed, love.
It's too early to get up.
It's the same every night.
She's waiting.
She's convinced that he'll come back.
What do I have to tell them? That we got here at 8 in the evening.
We had dinner and then stayed a while to keep you company.
Is that it? That's it.
You don't have to, Helene.
Max didn't have to die either.
There were three of them.
balaclavas, riot clothing, pump action shotguns, precise, calm movements, very professional.
These weren't dodgy hoodlums coming to free a friend.
Such a major operation for for a piece of scum like Benaissa.
.
I must admit it doesn't add up.
Just look at Rossi's colleagues you have your motive: vengeance.
and three names that match up too: Caplan, Morlighem, Vachewski.
Vogel, you should stop wanking over your work.
It leaves stains and screws with your mind.
I want all three to be interviewed as part of this investigation.
My people don't need that.
Rossi's death has shaken them, but to suggest They're not your men now, Bordier.
You might as well be in Montpellier.
You have my permission.
Shit! I've never paid this much for a shag before.
Well, I'm expensive.
Hello.
Do you work police hours now at Internal Affairs? - Long night? - A restless one.
I need you to get dressed and come with us.
Really? And why should I follow you? To tell me what you were doing last night between 11pm and 6am.
He was with me And we fucked all night.
Thank you.
What's your name? - Sara.
- Sara what? - Sara Caplan.
Sara Caplan? Don't mess with me.
Sara what? - Diatekine.
- What? So.
Where did you pick her up? - In front of the Crillon.
- What time? Ten or half past, I don't remember It's important that you do remember.
What did you do? She's told you, what we did.
Do you screw other cops or is he the only one? I think he's the only one.
-What time did he pick you up? -I don't know.
In the evening.
"In the evening"? I need a time.
Half nine, ten.
- What were you doing before? - Fucking a fat pig.
She stayed all night and you didn't go anywhere? Would you, if you had a woman like her in bed? Do you often take whores home? I've had enough of this.
What do you want to know? Miss Delgado? Valerie Borg, Chief Inspector.
Have you been working here long.
Nearly four years.
- Do you like it? - It's no worse than anywhere else.
What do you mean? If it's that tough, why are you still here? Because I like my job.
Why did you choose such a tough area? You were one of the ten best graduates.
You could have gone for a more fulfilling role somewhere quieter.
There's no point being a cop if it just means sitting at a desk.
- Where were you last night? - At home.
- Alone? - With my boyfriend.
- What does your boyfriend do? - He's a writer.
What does he write? Books.
When did you clock off yesterday? About 8.
Did you go straight home? Yes.
Did your colleagues leave then too? I left first.
They were at the bar.
What bar? We have an 'in-house' bar.
So you don't know what they did later? They were going to have dinner with Max's wife.
But you weren't? No.
Why not? I've got my life to live.
Do you know if they really went? Why wouldn't they? Have you heard of any operation they might have done last night? What sort of operation? Benaissa was taken from his hospital bed at 11:45 last night.
by three masked, armed men.
I think you and your friends were part of the commando unit.
That's all.
Instead of keeping us here for this damn questioning.
why not let us find him before he rapes again?.
For your sake I hope your statements match.
- Otherwise? - I'll see to it that you go down.
You know what, Vogel.
You should do as I do.
Fuck a whore now and again.
It'll chill you out.
You look exhausted.
What's wrong, Roxane? Everything's fine.
Your friend, Lieutenant Vachewski, doesn't look in great shape either, does he? You'd have to ask him.
If you know anything, it's now or never.
After that, it's too late.
You're not even telling me why I'm here? A robbery's been reported in Nanterre.
An armored car and it's all kicking off.
Get moving.
Morlighem and Vachewski are waiting for you in the car park.
Sorry, but they pay us to do this, too.
- Roxane? - Too much on her plate.
Move it! Shit, why's that bastard here? "They stolen a police car" "passing Directorate of Defense.
" What the hell are they doing here?! Brake, dammit! - Get out the way! - Brake! You, okay? Look who it is Fucking Vanderbeke.
For him to show up, he must have it in for us.
I hearing lots about you, these days, Caplan.
Just good things, I hope? You're lucky no bystanders were hurt in this kamikaze operation.
I want your report in the morning.
You'll have it.
- What did he say? Calm down, everything's fine.
Vogel's sided with Vanderbeke, who's always hated us.
They'll take us down in the end.
If they had proof we'd be long gone.
Helene's backed up your statements.
and the alibis are fine.
And the whore? How do you know she not change her mind? You've no more reason to distrust her than myself or Walter.
But if you open up you'll go down with us.
You're the one who shot him, not us.
If I open up now, I'll be fired.
.
but I might avoid prison.
Do you really believe that? I believe nothing, but I'm tired of you moaning.
even though you got us into this shit.
It doesn't matter who did what.
We're all in the same boat, and that's that.
Either we stick together, or we all go down.
Now No one's holding a gun to your head, Roxane.
If you want to sing, sing.
But if you do decide to do so, do it now.
Hang on.
Who's the problem here? Is it him or me? It makes no difference if I sing or not.
If I do, I'm a grass, and my career's over.
And if I lie, I cross the line and I'm an accomplice to murder.
Either way, my life will never be the same again.
Here's the research you asked for on Muller.
We didn't kill Benaissa for nothing, anyway.
Whatever.
Get lost.
Manuel Muller.
He was in the slammer with Benaissa.
That makes sense.
Let's see He looks like a scumbag, anyway.
When do we do him? As soon as possible.
Eddy Get in.
I need to speak to you.
I took a call from the CID in Argenteuil.
They've found the remains of a Bedford next to the Seine.
There was a body inside, burnt to a cinder.
The skull was shattered by a 11.
43 calibre bullet.
Initial examinations suggest, it could be, Farid Benaissa.
EddyI don't care if you took a trip to Argenteuil last night before picking up the whore who gave you your alibi.
That queer, Benaissa, died like the scum he was.
That's what matters.
Now, I just want you you to stop taking me for a fool.
You think you'll find a mic? Who do you think I am? It was an accident.
We just wanted him to retract his statement.
to clear Max's name.
But it was pointless.
He died before telling us the truth.
We did get his accomplice's name though.
He's called Muller.
He goes down tomorrow morning.
Just how do you intend to explain the tip-off? We say our source needs protecting.
Nobody needs to know more.
How's it come to this, Eddy? - You shouldn't have abandoned us.
I'm not done.
Mr Lornach visited this afternoon, He wanted to talk about some photos taken on a rather strange evening.
during which you and a sidekick made him perform acts at gun point.
He recognized your voice, in the car park the other day.
when he was with Lemoine.
He said you were using the photos to blackmail him and obtain confidential information about one of his clients.
If his claims are true, you're finished.
Lornach, doesn't mess around.
You're asking for trouble.
He has no proof.
He has suspicions.
That's all he needs to pull strings and start an official investigation.
We've got photos.
He won't dare.
He knows you're a cop.
When he thought you were yobs, he was afraid.
Now he's got you by the balls You're both bluffing.
I got to go.
I've got an early start.
One last thing Why should I keep quiet about Benaissa? If you open it, you go down with me: If I go down, so do you.
I'll say we acted on your orders.
Good morning.
Good morning.
- Is Manu in? - Manu who? - Manuel Muller.
- I don't know him.
- Who are you? - We're the police.
Are you okay, little man? Bastard! Freeze! On the floor! Get on the floor! Motherfucker! Come on.
Shut it! ButWhat the What the fuck are you doing! - Shut up, asshole.
Let me go! Let me go! OK.
It's good.
Let me go, you motherfucker! Son of a bitch! So you did nothing.
Is that correct? - So, why did you do a runner? - I was afraid, that's all Oh yeah, you were afraid.
What were you afraid of? You and your blundering colleagues.
-You cheeky fucker.
Does this ring any bells? Her name was Nathalie Monier, She was 6 months pregnant.
And you and Farid had nothing better to do than fuck her! Piss off with your photo-montage! I've never seen the whore! You're the whore! Do you hear me? You're the whore! And your mother was a whore before you! Let me go, you motherfucker! You let them do that? Not usually, but this time I'd quite happily carry on watching.
Feel free.
.
to stop them.
You're the new deputy.
You could have waited for the DNA results.
We still don't have proof it was him.
The body in the Bedford has been identified as Farid Benaissa, and the caliber of Muller's gun matches the one that killed Benaissa.
The ballistics report has come in.
That doesn't mean he participated in the rape.
Raping her without a condom, and risking leaving behind his DNA? And then killing his accomplice but taking care to leave no trace? It doesn't follow.
Can't we stop going round in circles, chasing our tails.
We could get shot of two losers, solve a rape case and two homicides.
Add all that to the stats table.
What about the other two who helped Benaissa to escape from hospital.
What do we do about them? We've got two days to get their names out of them.
Hello? OK.
I'm on my way.
Carry on without me.
You can get me on the phone.
- Do we know who did this? - There were three youths.
That's all we know.
Do you have any descriptions? People are too afraid.
They won't say a thing.
Get together the things you need and I'll take you somewhere else.
Where else is there? We've nothing left.
The money you gave me, just covered the funeral costs.
The money's not a problem, Helene.
Is that so? Walter, my friend, You took your time.
Get out.
You've no business here.
Don't speak to me like that.
You might regret it.
Leave the gun.
You'll only need it if you want to shoot it.
Is that what you want? - How about a drink? - I only drink with friends.
You're already screwing me.
Don't reduce me to asking for what you owe.
I need time.
I've already told you that.
We have a saying that goes like this: "Man does not control time.
.
Time controls man".
The time has come, pal You've got to pay.
Tomorrow night, you know where.
Otherwise there'll be bloodshed.
Piss off.
Catherine I'm sorry.
Are you gambling again? This can't go on.
Do you understand? Come here.
Daddy's here Everything's okay Don't cry.
Remember me, motherfucker? - Yeah go fuck yourself! Listen to me.
I can let the gun go.
.
but taking the money was a bad idea.
When someone fucks me, I really like to enjoy it.
Who grassed me up?.
Your mother, asshole! The next one will be in your eye.
I'll ask once more: who grassed me up? It was your lawyer, Lornach! Lornach! I took it.
It's still there.
I couldn't touch it.
I've fucked up, Eddy.
I owe money, and if I don't pay tonight, I'm dead.
How much? Thirty thousand.
I was going to take an advance then I remembered Helene.
Who do you owe? Frank and Teddy Hoffman.
You gambling again? It was to keep Catherine at home.
If she goes back to hospital, she'll lose the will to live.
What are you doing? We're going to solve your problem.
Hi.
What's this? It's 89% pure.
With the money, it easily covers my debt.
Who's she? Your new girlfriend? Is that okay? It's all we've got.
Shut your mouth, woman.
That's the stuff.
Where did you get it? If anyone asks you How much for the rest? I'm here to pay my debt, not to do business with you.
You're wrong.
Stuff this good is priceless.
So come on: "How much?" I'm a cop, not dealer.
As you wish.
Your pal stays here while you go for more.
How much can you bring me? That's the lot.
This is from the drug squad's safe.
I'm sure you'll find more if you look.
What if I don't? Okay.
I want an advance.
He's the advance.
It's his life in return for the gear.
Try anything and he dies.
- Really? - Yeah.
You'd kill a cop? It wouldn't be the first time.
Go on, piss off.
If you want to kill him? Kill him now.
I'm going nowhere, motherfucker.
Go fuck yourself! Walter! Are you, okay? It's okay.
It's in the vest.
Oh, shit! We've got to get out of here.
The whole area will have heard that.
Come on.
What's up? Nothing.
Nothing.
