Cash Queens (2026) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Mr. Marionnaud!
Mr. Marionnaud, any statement
regarding yesterday's robbery?
As we all know,
yesterday a robbery occurred
at the CBP in Salon de Provence.
Our courageous citizens
were very traumatized.
And once again I express my support here,
for all the victims.
I am dedicated to finding justice.
I may be a child of Flanders,
but you adopted me with such generosity
and warmth of spirit.
You have my word that this crime,
this act of terror…
will not go unpunished.
My mission is far from over,
which is why I feel compelled to mention
that I plan to run
for the presidency of the region.
This is the official announcement
of my candidacy.
Thanks. Thank you.
I will not abandon you. Ever.
To the barbarians
who committed this horrible act here,
do not sleep so easily.
We will track you,
we will find you, and we will punish you.
Thank you.
CASH QUEENS
I really don't know how this is possible.
It was at the top of a closet
with my husband's things.
Ms. Perez, are you aware
of the gravity of this situation?
Well, obviously.
I'm sorry.
I mean, at least it wasn't loaded.
And what if it was?
In my decades of teaching, this is
the first time I've ever dealt with this.
I won't tolerate this, Ms. Perez.
Am I clear?
Thank you very much for your time.
Ms. Perez,
let's continue this at the police station.
Goodbye.
Are you out of your mind?
What were you thinking?
Tina, you know this is very serious.
But I wanted to speak to the class
about mom's work.
My love, I… I know you
were shocked by this robbery.
I know it's difficult,
but Mom's fine, okay?
You shouldn't go
through your Dad's things like that.
Yeah, but I didn't go through his things.
It was under Mom's bed.
Sure, under Mom's bed,
but in your dad's pile of things.
Wasn't it in the closet, up high?
High or low,
what matters is that we're all upset here.
Hey, come with me a second.
I don't think you get it. Do you know
what happens after a report is filed?
No.
Your kids will go to foster care
during the investigation.
No way, Malik.
You know it was an accident.
No way. A child in primary school
with a gun is no accident.
It's a disaster.
Malik, listen, I'm begging you to help me.
Okay.
I won't report it 'cause you're
like family, but this is the last time.
Thanks.
Now get these out of here.
It's too dangerous,
my daughter saw it all.
-Sure. I've got this one.
-We should go.
Yeah.
What are you up to today, ladies?
Just going to work, you know how it is.
Be careful,
there's gonna be trouble today.
Okay.
-Okay, gents, police check.
-What? Come on!
Chill out, it's just a routine inspection.
-Get back.
-Seriously?
-Don't move.
-Get off. Do not touch me!
-Chill out!
-Hands off!
-Yo, back up, man!
-Come on!
-Inside.
-Stay right there.
It's crazy out there!
How am I gonna get rid of these guns?
Could you hide them at yours?
No way, not my place.
Not with Malik.
Don't sweat it, girls.
I'll take them back to the hideout.
Believe me, no one will know.
Are you insane? They catch you, it's over.
And so are we.
Okay, okay. For now, let's keep it chill.
For now, don't spend anything.
-I'm down.
-What do I do about DFS?
Look, we've got to deal with the police,
the mayor, and Ezéchiel.
We have to be patient.
So, Rosalie, here's my big,
deep existential question for you.
Uh, what do you mean,
"Don't spend the cash?"
-I mean you spend nothing.
-So the beauty salon stays a dream?
With what we got,
no beauty salon for now, honey.
Fuck that,
at least let me get some creams.
-No, give me your money now.
-No. No, okay, I'll put it away safely.
No one's gonna find it.
It's easy.
Check it out.
They went straight for the teller.
They knew she had the key.
They know way too much.
There has to be a mole in the group.
I see an AK, an Uzi, and two shotguns.
Hm. Hm.
-Let's go back to Trevise.
-I'm on it.
Oh wow, there's my Catherine.
Are you okay?
Oh Rosa, I really tried my best
to stop those bitches.
I know you did. I'm sure you tried.
I stared at that little bastard
right in the eyes.
He almost shit his pants right there.
-Oh, I bet. Thank God you didn't get hurt.
-Ms. Perez?
Can we talk to you
for a few minutes, please?
Who, me?
-Yeah.
-Yes. For sure.
Ms. Perez,
where were you during the robbery?
It was my day off.
I'm asking you where you were.
Well, I was with Kim and Sofia.
-Just ask them, Malik, if you want.
-You speak with anyone?
Wha--?
Did you give anyone intel about your work?
No, why?
Because the robbers
knew the bank operations completely.
You think one of your colleagues
could be involved in this?
Mm. Hm. I don't know.
Have you noticed
any strange behavior recently?
No.
I mean, actually, Christophe gets
a new pair of basketball shoes weekly.
Those cost a lot.
Ah. I want some cushioning for my feet.
Oh Mom, don't start with me, please
I need to get a gaming screen, please?
No, we're only buying
what we need to keep DFS away.
Hey, don't go too far.
We don't have all day!
Girls, hey! Nour! Lila!
You called for me, sir?
So, how are things going?
We're on it, you know. We just began.
You know it has to be
those punks from Trevise.
I want cops all over that place,
you hear me?
Totally agree,
you don't have to worry about anything.
Sure, but there's something
you aren't getting here.
Those robbers need to be apprehended.
Do what you need to do.
Those responsible must be caught fast.
Copy that.
I'm not convinced.
So have a seat.
So, you haven't seen
your kids in a while, yeah?
Two years?
Why does that matter, sir?
You bring me the robbers,
and I'm inclined to transfer you.
You can be back at your home island
with your boys.
You serious?
One call, and it's done.
Okay, get out.
Mom! Mom, can you buy this console for me?
It's way too expensive!
What don't you get about
"only pick out what is necessary."
-I love this giant teddy bear!
-Can you buy this game? I love it!
Are you both crazy? That's a huge no!
Why'd you bring us to this place
if you won't let us buy anything?
-It's torture. It sucks!
-Yeah, it sucks!
Yeah, it's true, Mom.
We never have fun with you.
It's true, we never have fun with you!
Whoa, uh-uh-uh-uh. You know what?
You guys are right.
Me too, I'm done.
Today, we're gonna have some fun.
Come on, kids! Fill up this cart!
-Wait, for real?
-I mean it, let's go!
And you too, Mom. Buy something!
Time to go, girls!
-Oh no, Mom, no!
-Mom, can we play a little longer?
No, no, hey, we have to leave now.
-Pretty please.
-I love this ball pit, it's amazing!
You know what?
Let's buy it, what do you say?
-Hm? What?
-For real?
-Yes! Hey, you.
-Seriously?
Oh yeah!
-How many you want?
-Go nuts.
You win the lotto or what?
Mom, it's just the Christmas bonus.
I sold the most gingerbread.
Bless you, my daughter. You're amazing.
I'm just saying, I bet
those robbers get a mad adrenaline rush.
They're robbers.
There's nothing fascinating about it.
Nothing fascinating? It's sexy.
They're bank robbers. Who cares?
I'm not saying they're model citizens,
only that it's a little exciting.
Mm.
What? I'm right.
Hey!
Oh! Yeah. You.
Am I right here?
-It's pretty mental, this robbery.
-Uh…
-Yeah.
-You know I'm right.
Bitch.
You have a name?
-Alex.
-Right. Alex.
Appreciate that.
Fuck you.
We retrieved a SIG Sauer from the robbery.
You brought us here for that?
-Why do you think I give a fuck?
-It's all part of the lot I sold you.
You promised me
you'd rub off those serial numbers.
I didn't do this robbery.
You think I'm stupid?
I make 20K every time I take a shit.
-Why are you busting my ass here?
-Yeah, but they were used in the robbery.
I don't care.
Listen, you better clean up around here.
Because someone in your crew
took those guns to rob that fucking bank.
It would be a shame to trace it to you.
What the fuck are you saying?
Huh?
Didn't I pay for your divorce?
Who's paying for your mortgage?
And what about alimony?
You think we're friends?
Watch your mouth.
I'm sorry. I'm a little stressed about
everything, including this gun situation.
I came to give you a heads-up.
I got carried away.
You deal with the weapon.
I'll get the robbers for you.
Your cops are all over my projects,
and it's messing with my business.
What do you have?
Here they are.
These clowns?
Yeah.
Get lost.
'Sup, Tarek.
How's it going, Bob?
6,046 euros. Even.
-Legit.
-Great.
Yo, we need two minutes.
Ezéchiel is offering his Megane RS
to whoever finds these bank robbers.
We need to find guys with cash.
Military pants and ski glasses.
Stay on the lookout.
Cops are gonna look everywhere. Got it?
Okay, have a fun evening.
Okay, buddy, I want my bet back.
No, no, Kim. Too late.
You pay, now you play.
Fine.
Well, in that case then…
Deal it.
EZÉCHIEL IS GONNA SEARCH EVERYWHERE
DITCH THE BAGS
Hey, Mom! Fuck, shit is going down
in the projects today.
They're beating the shit outta everyone.
They're, like,
trying to arrest everyone. It's insane.
Yes?
-Hello?
-Sofia Belloua?
Yes, come in.
Uh, you can put it over… there.
Right by the closet, great.
I see you're doing some shopping.
I need permission to get a few things?
That depends on how you paid for it all.
Well, with my money.
You get rich at that bakery?
-It's my year-end bonus.
-In September?
Hey, guys.
Check this place out from top to bottom.
What do you thugs want from us?
Just leave us alone!
You punks! Get your hands off our stuff!
Back off! It's her end of year bonus!
Talk now
before I set fire to your new stuff.
Who gave you money?
Who gave you money?
What the hell is going on?
I had a couple places to check out.
So now you're police? That it?
Some of my equipment was borrowed.
I'm searching for it.
Okay. So you're messing up
my sister's place?
There's definitely something off.
-Apparently, she won the lottery.
-I said it's a Christmas bonus, alright?
Okay, you heard her, so it's time
for you and your clowns to leave.
Don't make me repeat myself.
Okay.
That bonus pay sure is convenient.
Let's move.
It's okay, it's over.
I don't give a fuck.
I need to find those guns.
We're going door to door now.
Yeah, it's on.
Hey. I have to run an errand.
Please watch your sister.
-Don't open the door for anyone, okay?
-Got it.
I'm serious, I mean it.
Nobody at all, hear me?
-I said I got it.
-Good. Not a soul, I mean it.
Okay, okay.
Shit. Goddamn it!
Why do you have these?
My eyes are super sensitive.
I ski at Chamonix.
-He's messing with us, right?
-Oh yeah, totally.
Who do you think we are?
You fucking ski, dude?
I manage. I've been on the black run.
The red ones.
I sometimes do the green ones, you know?
Aah…
Are you fucking with us?
No.
Are you fucking with us?
Yes.
Let's take him.
Rosa?
-Why are you here?
-Hey! How you doing?
Where'd you get the glasses? Huh? Okay.
-Let me go!
-Shut up!
How big is the bonus?
Uh, four K.
Euros?
-That's really big for a holiday bonus.
-Uh…
Usually, a holiday bonus
is around 1,200, right?
Extra month's pay?
No, but wait, but…
For once I get something good,
and now everyone's busting my ass?
I swear to you.
She sold the most gingerbread.
Congratulate your sister
instead of interrogating her.
-Who is that now?
-I got it.
Oh. You're here.
Yeah, so?
Rosa? You good?
Uh, yeah. It's just that I have
some stuff of Chloé's
that I have to return to her right now.
Oh, yeah. I see.
-Her stuff, yeah.
-Yeah. Chloé.
Her stuff, yeah.
Right. Her stuff, yeah… Her stuff.
I don't think I'm understanding
the "her stuff" thing.
-Can it wait?
-No!
Uh, well, no. Because…
Chloé, uh, she's…
she's a friend of ours, right?
And she is going bowling,
but we have her balls.
Right here.
So may I borrow
your car right now, please?
-Right now?
-Yeah. Right now.
Yeah, well, both my kids are,
you know… Léo and Tina are alone.
Well, uh…
You want me to come for the ride?
-No! I appreciate the offer.
-You sure? I'm here.
Hey, relax, it's good.
She can bring it herself, she's an adult.
Need I remind you there's a gang
of guys out there robbing banks,
and Ezéchiel's looking for them.
-No way she's going alone.
-No! No!
No, wait. Uh… I've got this on my own.
I appreciate you, but I'm fine.
I'm completely capable of doing this
all on my own, so thanks but I'm fine.
So fine. They're my bags. I got them.
I'm not your charity case.
She's mental.
So? You're annoying.
-Me?
-Yeah.
Fine, I'll come back later.
Ugh! Dammit.
Anything?
Not yet. We're gonna spend the night
and monitor the situation.
Okay. Keep me in the loop.
I'm pissed
that they're messing with us like this.
So am I.
It'll all be over quickly.
We'll have a sketch soon.
What? Like a drawing of the robbers?
Yeah. Catherine identified a look
in one of their eyes.
That's fantastic.
Okay, I'm exhausted, so I'm going all in.
Hey, Kim!
I know you're bluffing us. I'm in.
Yeah, I'm in too. You got nothing.
All of it.
You think it's a bluff?
Bullshit, bruh.
Here's Kelly. And Michelle.
And Beyoncé, right there, huh?
It's Destiny's Child in your face.
So what are you gonna do now?
Three queens!
Say my name
Name, name, n-name
-Name, name, name…
-Pocket twos.
Now say my name.
Your move, Beyoncé.
So Angelo, can you float me ten K please?
I'm good for it.
No, Kim, no more for you.
You spent your 30 grand advance.
Ezéchiel says no more, you're done.
No more, he says.
Well, I'm finished giving you charity.
See you around, my dudes,
-See you.
-Bye, Kim.
Tell your folks I said hi.
This is my boy, Rico.
The love of my life.
I love him madly. And I think it's mutual.
Hmm.
You look really happy for once.
What's that about?
Mm. Yeah, I am.
-I'm in a good place. Mm.
-You have a new lover?
So, how is the boarding school life
for Jules, huh?
Oh, he's great. Good.
Well, he's having
a little difficulty with grammar,
because of his super strict teacher. Pfft!
-He gives hours of homework.
-What?
He's in seventh grade. Too much homework?
Where are you getting that?
I talked with other parents
who believe two hours is too much.
No, it's not too much.
I want my son to master our language.
I mean, come on.
Not like the vocabulary
of those immigrants. Sorry, but…
Give them a little credit.
They have some vocabulary.
"Yo, yo."
"Homie."
"Bussin'!"
"Bussin'."
-Bussin'.
-Bussin'!
Bussin'!
-You don't find that funny?
-No I don't.
Oh, you think these gangbangers all have
degrees in literature or something?
Well, they might.
Ah…
Who's this now?
Let's find out.
-Yeah, go find out.
-I will.
-Rosalie?
-Chloé.
What are you doing here?
Chloé. A pleasure.
-Malik!
-Sorry.
I said Chloé. A pleasure.
-Malik, also a pleasure.
-A pleasure.
Lieutenant Belloua?
Mr. Marionnaud?
We came to return Chloé's bowling stuff.
-My wife?
-Your wife?
Since when did you start bowling?
-This is new.
-Well, uh, I'm a fan.
-No! I'm gonna hold these.
-Don't worry, I'll keep them.
No, it's fine.
I can hold them until our next game.
-I insist. I can hold them.
-No! It's better this way.
-It's a bad idea. We're not teammates.
-I've got this.
-Really?
-Don't worry.
Okay.
Ah! Strike! Ha-ha!
Okay.
I'll put these away now.
Well, I won't keep you any longer.
Okay?
Yeah, yeah.
And so you're a bowler now, my dear?
Well, yeah, it's fun. I'm pretty good.
And where do you bowl?
Well, uh, in Aix. Right near the casino.
Go ahead, show me your balls.
Show me yours, how about that?
You know you're a beautiful little slut.
Get out of here!
-Shut up.
-Hey! What the fuck are you doing?
-Rosa has nothing to do with your--
-Hey, hey! What's going on?
We heard that your boy
has plenty of new threads lately.
You wanna search this place?
Come on, we can do it together, alright?
Let's go! Check this out!
Look! I've always been straight!
Always, dammit!
Simon too. He's been straight!
You let him rot over
in that prison like a piece of shit!
I'm up to my neck in debt, okay?
I don't have money! There's no money here!
Where'd the 1,500 bucks come from?
The 1,500 bucks? Come on.
That's all my cash.
I'm sorry, what? Don't listen to him.
Come on, Ezéchiel, don't listen to him.
He's in puberty. He's a smart-ass.
-Where'd you get all this?
-I sell weed to make ends meet sometimes.
I don't want us to be so broke.
That's where my clothes come from.
-Okay with you?
-Are you fucking kidding?
But…
Every deal in town goes through me.
Who'd you buy from?
I'm not snitching on anybody.
Not like you did with my dad.
Snitch.
Shut up! I'm gonna fuck you up right now,
you hear me?
Ezéchiel, leave the child
the fuck alone, please.
Those are robber's pants you're wearing.
Am I right?
Hey! No, no, no, leave him alone!
-He didn't do anything!
-Ezéchiel, stop it. Hey!
-It wasn't him!
-Ezéchiel!
-Leave him alone! He's not involved!
-Stay still!
-Come on, take it easy!
-Fucking no!
-Hey! Chill out. Stop it!
-It's me! I robbed the bank!
Yeah, we robbed that bank, Ezéchiel.
Nice try, ladies.
No. No!
-Sit down and shut up.
-No.
Sit your ass down.
Shut your mouth! Shut up!
-Let go of me, motherfucker!
-Sit down!
I'll fuck you up! Hey!
-Sit the fuck down!
-Let go of me!
-Let go of me, motherfucker! Let go!
-Now! Stay still!
-Léo!
-Let go of me, fucker!
Léo! He's my kid!
Let him go, he didn't do anything!
-Let go! I said let go!
-Léo! Léo!
Let go of me!
Come on, let's go, let's go!
Take them all into my office, right now.
No, let go of me!
Hey! No, I told you he's my boy! No!
-Let her go! Hey, let her go!
-That's my son!
-Wait! You can't do this!
-Let him go!
Léo!
It's okay, let her go.
We got her, let her go.
Son of a bitch! I'm gonna fuck you up!
Let her go!
-Léo!
-Come on, let's get out of here.
Léo!
Number one, step to the mark.
Say the line.
"Fucking bitch,
give me the cash or I'll fuck you up."
This isn't funny at all.
Now take off your glasses.
Not him, for sure.
Go put your glasses on
and get back in line.
Number two, step forward.
Say your line.
"This is a robbery, bitches!"
"I want you all to make it rain money
up in here. Let's do this shit."
Take off your glasses.
Put your glasses back on
and get back in line.
Number three, step forward.
Say the line.
"Okay, fools, it's a robbery!"
Quiet in the back!
Okay, take off your glasses.
It's him! That's the one.
Are you sure?
Certainly. I'd recognize
that look anywhere.
Put your glasses back on
and get back in line.
This is important. Sure it's number three?
Totally sure that it was number three.
Okay, release the others in two hours
and hold number three in custody.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, Catherine.
Number four, step forward.
Say the line.
So, where were you
on Tuesday between nine and ten?
In bed, at my place.
Alone?
No, I was hanging out with my chick,
you know. Just chilling.
-What's her name and phone number?
-That's so crazy!
Of course I was alone.
I wish I had a chick, you know?
But I'm a virgin, bro.
Am I laughing? Huh?
If you don't have an alibi,
you're screwed.
Yo, leave me alone.
At the worst, I'm getting six months!
Someone identified you!
You idiot! There's a witness.
You'll end up in jail for decades!
Who cares? I'll spend
some quality time with my father.
I'm gonna take time
to explain this to you.
This bullshit robbery
is all over the news.
Marionnaud won't let it go.
If you can't prove it wasn't you,
they'll charge you.
They need to set an example.
What do you want from me? What can I say?
-It wasn't me. I didn't do it!
-You idiot. Unbelievable.
That's right, get outta here!
Oh, fuck yeah! They've been caught!
Those goddamn bank robbers!
-The robbers?
-And what'd I tell you?
From the Trevise projects.
Don't worry.
He'll be released.
They have nothing on Léo.
But how are you sure?
Because we're the robbers.
And we have Malik on our side.
He will make this go away.
It'll be fine.
-Where is he?
-In custody.
-Let me see him.
-No. That's not possible.
When's he out?
It's more complicated than that.
Your colleague identified him, so…
-But how?
-She recognized his eyes.
Oh, that bitch.
What a slut.
I swear on my mother's life,
that stupid bitch has no shame!
Sorry, Rosa, but I have doubts
about your son's innocence.
And yours as well, by the way.
Tina with the gun, the bank, your boy.
It's becoming a problem.
Come on. You really believe
she'd make her own son rob a damn bank?
Well, I'm not sure anymore.
-But, Malik!
-I said I'm not sure.
So, now you've become
one of the top suspects.
Léo is innocent, Malik.
You know how I know this?
-Because it wa--
-Come, Rosa, here.
Yeah.
Way to be insensitive.
There are better ways to talk to mothers.
Don't you learn that at police school?
Pfft!
It's very bad. Really bad.
Mm? I mean that.
Today, we arrested one of the robbers
who terrorized the region this past week.
I'd like to give a special thanks
to our police force
who, under my leadership,
have been working day and night
to make our streets safer for all.
Let's move! Get out of here!
Yo, yo, get out!
In a very short while, we will have
captured the rest of the robbers.
That's it.
No. Not today.
Well?
We have to surrender.
-Uh… Not possible, no way.
-But what about my son?
Of course we will save your son.
But there's no reason
to turn ourselves in.
I mean, there's too much evidence
against him.
What evidence?
Come on, it was that big whore Catherine
who came forward and identified him.
I'm confused.
He has his mother's eyes, so what?
-Do what you want, I'm going.
-But no one will believe you.
Rosa… think of Tina.
What happens to her if her father,
brother, and mother are in prison?
I have, um… my three kids to watch,
and a mother who's disabled, and, uh…
I'm not going to jail, I'm sorry.
Fuck, this is a nightmare.
Léo is a minor with no record.
We'll get him the best attorney.
There's a chance
he won't get life in prison, Rosa.
Have you all lost your minds?
I'll never consider
letting my son pay for us.
Of course…
We're gonna have to get the weapons.
Kim? I'm so glad to hear from you.
I thought you might have been arrested.
No, we weren't. You?
I was close to throwing myself out
with the weapons to clear you all.
I'm sorry, what's up with Rosa?
-We have to clear her son.
-Huh?
-We need to do another one. Now!
-Um, uh, okay.
No. No, I'm on it.
NATIONAL POLICE
MEMO
You strut around the projects.
At the police station.
In your statements on T.V.
But you arrested an innocent man.
And we're gonna prove it.
Get ready, losers!
-Let's go.
-Yeah.
This is a hold-up!
Get on the ground!
