Madame

1
[waves rolling]
[tense music playing]
[tense music wanes]
[man] They're here, Madame.
[suspenseful music playing]
Voilá, the celebrity!
Bonjour, monsieur.
Griselda Delacroix.
Did your wife complain at all
about her room?
I hope not.
[man] We got a long shift today.
Madame, thank you for your protection.
[Griselda] Hmm.
Well, let's hope that neither of us
regret my hospitality.
Come on. Ah, hold on.
How about a soccer match?
Adult conversation.
Like the late night programs on TV.
Not for children.
[Jonas] What does she mean?
Germany and France, the finals.
Davide? It's getting serious, hmm?
This is Davide.
I already beat him yesterday.
Can I?
Yeah, okay. Have fun.
[Jonas] Cool, thanks.
See you later!
[Davide] Slow down, Jonas. Wait up!
Better watch out!
- I'm gonna win this time!
- Come with me.
- [Davide] Just watch me!
- [ominous music playing]
[Griselda] My parents had this estate
built back in the 30's.
The building material,
everything, it was all a gift.
From everyone.
"Yes, my lord,
of course, my lord, right away, my lord."
[Charly] Where's your room?
[Griselda] No money.
- On the the other side.
- [Griselda] They were respectful.
I've spent my whole life in this villa.
I know every inch and vantage point.
And where to hide.
[suspenseful music playing]
[neck cracking]
[knuckles cracking]
Today, every rat in this city
thinks they can do business.
They peddle their cheap cocaine,
then strut around with their watches,
their gold chains, and their guns.
Without class,
without decency, without ideals.
Speaking of,
your operation in Berlin, chapeau!
I just hope you were lucky enough
not to catch any diseases from that filth.
[sighs]
[ominous music playing]
[Griselda] So
Has Rami told you roughly
what this is all about?
No.
[Rami] I gave Madame a tip-off
a while ago.
Or rather, I, uh
I sold it.
I heard about this tanker ship
that customs will turn a blind eye to,
if you pay the right inspection agent.
I just gave the intel, understand?
What ship? From where?
Colombia. But customs
checked each container.
They found everything.
Everything?
A ton of cocaine.
[ominous music playing]
[Rami] Hidden in cans of corn.
And it's all in the evidence room now.
- They want you to steal it.
- [Rami] Samira, no one's expecting that.
I've taken care of it.
Continue. And get to the point!
[Rami] These are the blueprints.
It's being kept in
the oldest police station in Marseille.
To be more specific,
it's in their basement.
The sewer runs diagonally underneath.
It's a very old building, built in 1912,
and has never been renovated.
And here's the thing.
Between the sewer and the basement,
there's just one wall.
[suspenseful music playing]
How thick is the wall?
Rami, you need to know this.
I gotta know how long it'll take.
Charly, we'll have all our machines
running at the same time,
and the racket will distract everyone.
- It's all been handled. Don't worry.
- Stop. Okay, we're done.
I think our guest gets
the general idea, yes?
[suspenseful music continues]
- [gun rattles]
- No!
[Rami falls]
- [gun cocks]
- [tense music playing]
[Samira] Oh God!
If you're not able to think fast and come
up with a better plan to get my cocaine
- [Samira] Fuck.
- [Griselda] You'll be next.
Mmm? You and your darling little family.
[tense music intensifies]
[Griselda leaves]
[music swells]
- [Rio] Fuck!
- [music stops]
[Rio grunting and straining]
[objects rattle]
- [Rio] Joseph?
- [Joseph groans]
- Wake up! Come on.
- What?
- Come on.
- [Joseph] Huh?
- Get up. [strains]
- [Joseph] What?
Come on. Sit up. [strains]
- [Joseph groans]
- Sit there.
That's it.
- Sit there.
- [Joseph groans]
- What?
- It's the electric shock.
It makes you feel stupid for a bit,
but it'll pass soon.
Where's Alina?
There, look, there she is. There.
She's okay. All in one piece, see?
Right, Joseph. Look, I know,
these are, um
Uh Not the best circumstances.
- [Joseph] Yeah.
- I'm so sorry.
- [Rio] I didn't wanna do this.
- [Alina] Joseph.
I know we've had some
tough times now, but see,
we we really should
work together, understand?
Want a cig?
[Joseph grunts]
Look, doing that isn't helping things.
- 'Kay? Calm down.
- What do you want, Rio?
Vienna's a mess.
My father's disappeared.
And if I'm not careful,
then I'm gonna be next.
And that's why I'm also grateful for Alina
for helping reunite us.
- He made me do it, Joseph!
- Shut your whore face!
[Joseph straining]
[Rio] Shh, sit down.
Listen,
I need
the coin.
So we can have some peace, you understand?
Let her leave.
Yeah, sure!
She's free to leave.
That goes without saying. Of course, yeah.
But not just her.
I'm letting you both go free.
That's right.
You two can finally get away from it all.
You can drive off in a convertible,
along the Côte d'Azur, huh?
Wouldn't that be nice? Your hair
blowing in the wind.
[chuckles]
Eat shit, Rio.
[ominous music playing]
Are you serious?
I'm trying to make up for
all the shit we've been through,
and that's how you treat me
after I've been so nice to you?
Is it better if I threaten you, then?
- Okay, fatso!
- [whimpering]
I'll slash her face!
If you don't tell me right now,
- I'm gonna burn her eyes out, Joseph!
- [Joseph] The harbor!
Your stupid coin's at the goddamn port!
It's in the fucking telescope!
Okay.
- [Alina breathes heavily]
- [tense music playing]
Okay.
[sniffles]
[taser buzzing]
[gasps]
[Rio grunts] Are you crazy?
- [Alina groans, yells]
- [taser buzzing]
- [Alina falls]
- [Rio] So
that's how it's gotta be, huh?
[sighs]
Don't think this is fun for me.
[plane engine revving]
[engine wanes]
[suspenseful music playing]
[music wanes]
[door opens]
[footsteps approaching]
[sinister music playing]
Making any progress?
[Charly] I need more time.
What your boss did to Rami was
unnecessary.
Madame expects you to have a plan
within sixty minutes.
And I strongly suggest
you make the most of this hour.
Otherwise, it will be your last.
[door closes, locks]
[soft music playing]
[Rami] Charly. These are the blueprints.
It's being kept
in the oldest police station in Marseille.
TOILETS
[tense music playing]
[Rami] It's a very old building,
built in 1912,
and has never been renovated.
To be more specific,
it's in their basement.
The sewer runs diagonally underneath.
The total weight is 948 Kilos.
25 X CANS AT 189.6 G = 4.74 KG
200 CANS = 948 KG
[tense music continues]
[dramatic music intensifies]
TOILETS

- [waves rolling]
- [car passes, honks]
- [tense music playing]
[tense music continues]
[Joseph groans]
[Alina] Hang on.
[Joseph sighs]
[Alina exhales]
I am so sorry.
We'll be alright.
[tense music continues]
[sniffling]
GATES 1 AND 2
[police chatter over music]
[officers chatter intelligibly over radio]
[electronic device beeps]
[car passes, honks]
[chatter continues over music]
[Nina] Come on, Robert.
My access is blocked.
I can't get into the system.
Yeah, 'course it's blocked.
You're not a cop right now, Nina.
And if you keep going like this,
you won't be for good.
I can't believe we're not able
to get a proper location.
[Robert sighs] Look, it is it's the
the network reception
in the Calanques is just It's, uh
- It's really bad.
- I don't need to know
where they were an hour ago.
- I want their current location.
- Yeah. Somewhere at the harbor.
The radio cell tower's always spot on.
Yeah, okay. Good.
If anything changes,
if you see any movement, or
[tense music playing]
[Robert] Nina, are you still there?
- [phone clicks]
[tense music intensifies]
[telescope shakes]
[metal object rattles]
Alright, you asshole.
[suspenseful music continues]
- [music stops]
- [metal banging loudly]
- [metal bangs]
- [coin rattles]
[coins rattling]
[ethereal music playing]
[coins rattling]
[ominous music playing]
[straining]
[grunts, panting]
[Joseph breathing heavily]
[Joseph] Wait. Come here. Come here.
I've got this. Hold still.
[straining]
[suspenseful music continues]
[Joseph straining]
[both straining]
[grunts]
- [music stops]
- [both panting]
Yes. Alright.
[handle shaking]
Son of a bitch.
- [Alina] He's gonna be back any second.
- C'mon.
[suspenseful music playing]
[door closes]
- [Nina] Hands on the wheel.
- [Rio] I know you.
Police, eh?
[Nina] Just give me the coin.
You're in a different country.
You have no say here, sweetheart.
Are you sure?
Joseph Muckstein. Where is he?
You met him outside of Marseille.
The fatty's not with his taxi?
It's been at least a week
since I last saw him.
[both panting]
I'm getting us out.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Rio grunts]
[Nina grunts]
[Nina grunts]
[Rio grunting]
[car horn beeps]
[Rio grunting]
[Rio straining]
- [taser buzzing]
- [Nina screams]
[panting]
- Wait. Wait.
- Joseph!
[suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful music continues]
Rio, Rio, Rio.
I've got my passport.
[Joseph] Good.
[car door closes]
Give it to me, now!
Give it to me!
Just do as she says.
[Nina] C'mon!
[seagulls squawking]
[Alina] Joseph.
I'll give you the coin.
But one thing at a time.
[tense music playing]
Take it easy, okay?
[music intensifies]
- Alina?
- [Alina] Yeah?
Head to the center of the city
and get in the first taxi you see.
[breathes heavily]
[Joseph] Then go to the airport,
and get on a plane.
And go home to your family.
[tense music continues]
You go with her
and give me the goddamn coin.
- [Alina] Please, Joseph.
- I can't.
Get outta here!
You'll never see her again.
[tense music continues]
There's always a price.
[siren wailing in distance]
What the fuck do you want?
[Joseph] I want to survive. I want peace.
Let's leave now,
or we won't be getting outta here.
[siren approaching]
[tense music continues]
[engine starts]
[siren continues]
[tense music ends]
[dramatic music playing]
[Tarek] Hassan, this is pointless.
[men chattering over dramatic music]
We both know Charly
has to go back to Berlin eventually.
And then we'll finish it.
[chattering continues]
But do it here?
[dramatic music playing]
[vehicle approaching]
[brakes screech]
[engine shuts off]
[car door opens]
[dramatic music continues]
[men chattering in French]
[music fades]
Bravo.
Don't worry.
I'm aware you're upset.
But now's not the time to panic.
Let's instead talk about next steps now.
[Sharif] What next steps?
Your man is being held by the Corsicans.
Just take the L.
Take the L?
[sighs] Yeah, you're from
another generation.
It's slang. It simply means that you lost.
Feel me?
Afraid in your own city?
- Hmm?
- [Sharif] Ugh, not again.
With all due respect,
I'm not about to be the guy who starts
World War III here in Marseille,
just 'cause one guy from Al-Walid's family
was killed in Berlin.
[ominous music playing]
This man is responsible for murder.
For my brother's death.
[ominous music swells]
I don't give a shit about your family.
I'm sure you've seen
that old movie about Alcatraz.
That's where Griselda is. In Alcatraz.
No one can get in or out. It's impossible.
Bye!
[alarm blaring]
- [door opens]
- [alarm continues]
[man] Goddammit!
[alarm continues blaring]
[men chatter over radio]
Shit!
Attention, all units,
the prisoner has escaped.
- I repeat, the prisoner escaped.
- [man 2] Copy.
- [man] Code red.
- Mom, what's gonna happen to us?
- It must be Charly.
- [Jonas] He left already?
- [alarm continues]
- [men talking]
Without us?
Jonas, you listen to me,
Charly'd never do that. He wouldn't!
[muffled chatter continues]
- [alarm continues blaring]
- [Jonas breathing heavily]
[soft music playing over alarm]
I'm sorry for yelling.
[alarm and soft music continue]
[man 1] He's gotta be
around here somewhere.
- [man 2] You see him?
- [man 1] Nothing yet. I'll look.
[man 2] You, check the cliffs.
You, the pool.
- [man 3] Yes, Boss.
- [man 2] Check the whole perimeter.
[alarm continues blaring]
[Charly] Excuse me.
Didn't we have an appointment?
[footsteps approaching]
[man] Get down! Get down!
Serge.
He tried to escape, Madame.
[Griselda] No. I think not.
He's simply demonstrating to us
that no guards can keep him in or out.
Am I right?
Very well, Mister Markovic.
You have my full attention.
What is your plan?
[tense music playing]
[Charly] The building's
right on the harbor.
Security around the evidence room
is light.
Their usual two guard patrol
won't be expecting us.
If we come in from the water,
we can cut the power without being seen.
This will distract the guards.
[tense music continues]
[Charly] By the time
their generator turns on
I'll already be
in the precinct's basement.
The evidence room's steel security door
won't be a problem with the right tools.
[drill whirring]
[Charly] Getting to the cans will be easy.
And easy to get to your cocaine.
[tense music continues]
[in French] Très bien.
[in English] So you're able to get in.
But the question is, how are you
going to get one ton of cocaine out?
We will put it in the toilet
and flush it down.
Package by package. Can by can.
[toilet flushes]
[Charly] If we put in a suction pump
beforehand, we can speed things up.
I'll need some of your men in the sewers
to collect the cocaine.
It simply is that easy.
I think it would solve
all of your problems.
How soon?
Really, whenever you want.
The only thing we'd need
is all of the tools.
[tense music continues]
Start tomorrow morning.
Great.
If we have an agreement, Madame Delacroix,
then would you please let my family go?
You know that's not possible.
In that case,
let me stay with them only for the night.
[music swells]
[music ends]
[men chattering]
[suspenseful music playing]
[elevator whirring]
[music wanes]
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay.
I'm ready.
I spoke to Firat on the phone.
I told him we were coming back.
[Tarek] Alright.
He checked out Karim's cell.
You didn't tell me
you spoke to him on the phone.
Half an hour before he died.
Hmm?
He was on his way over to the vault.
I was trying to stop him.
I believe you.
Because then, five minutes later,
you called him eleven more times.
I wanted to warn him.
[suspenseful music continues]
What about?
Doing something stupid.
You knew he would get in their way.
It was you.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
[Hassan] You're the one
who tipped them off.
- [music intensifies]
- [Tarek shudders]
I trusted you.
You could've done great things.
But you sold your soul
and whored yourself out.
I gave you everything.
Fuck that, and fuck you!
All you did was take!
Like some petty thief,
you'd lock us all in your goddamn vault.
- Just like your fucking coin.
- Aren't you ashamed?
- Huh?
- No.
Of all this self-pity?
The only one I pity is Karim!
He was your brother!
He always looked up to you!
[Tarek grunts]
You don't betray your family. Never.
Never!
- [knife stabs]
- [Tarek groans]
[Tarek groaning]
- [knife stabs]
- [blood spills]
- [knife stabs]
- [blood spills]
- [knife stabs]
- [blood spills]
I had to do it.
[Hassan breathes shakily]
[music ends]
[Nina] No. They're gone.
[vehicles passing]
[Nina] Yeah, both of 'em.
[sighs]
I'll see you soon, Robert.
So, your buddy's in trouble,
but you've got no idea
what kind of trouble, huh?
Sounds about right.
But you want me
to help him get out of there?
We'll know more when he calls me back.
To be honest,
that sounds like a pretty shit deal.
You want the coin, don't you?
Yeah.
[Joseph] Listen.
They've got his wife. And his little boy.
I can't do this all alone.
I'm gonna need someone strong
by my side. Someone like you.
[tense music playing]
[music ends]
[dramatic music playing]
I know a better place we can wait.
Does that mean you'll help me?
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
If he hasn't called
by 6 a.m. tomorrow morning,
then you'll give me the coin.
And we're through.
[dramatic music wanes]
And we're through. You have my word.
- [Kevan] Let me kill him!
- [Sharif] I don't care!
- Don't do anything!
- He disrespected you!
- He should answer for that!
- Please!
What the fuck? You're always sitting down!
Why are you sitting?
You again?
Did you miss me or something? Huh?
What're you still doing here?
I'm finishing this.
I don't care what the price is,
I'll pay it.
Price? The hell are you talking about?
You wanna start a gang or something?
To fuck with the Corsicans?
You dumb shit! Are you out of your mind?
[suspenseful music playing]
There's something
in the bathroom for you. Go on.
[Sharif] Go check.
C'mon, what are you waiting for? Go check.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
- [ominous music playing]
- [flies buzzing]
Holy shit. He killed him.
[Hassan] Without Griselda,
you'll be the new king of Marseille.
Not some day. Today.
So, tell me. How can we do business?
I, uh I don't think you understand.
It's a very, very, very, bad idea
What's up? What is it?
This motherfucker killed his cousin.
[sinister music playing]
He's dead?
You're gonna rot, bruh.
- Hold on. Hold it, hold it.
- [Kevan] Wait for what, dumbass?
No matter the cost, I won't be denied.
I'll pay any amount.
You're a psychopath.
- Wait, what? Bro, what?
- Hold on, hold on! Just one second.
Stay here. wait. Stay.
- I'll explain! You don't understand.
- Stay.
- Stop! Listen!
- What's there to understand?
- I got an idea!
- He killed him!
Come with me.
Where?
[Serge] There's gonna be a little reunion.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Samira] Come on.
[suspenseful music continues]
- [door closes]
- [music fades]
[footsteps walking away]
[waves rolling]
[seagulls squawking]
You really have a very talented husband.
He deserves some family time with you.
Some private time
for your mom and dad. Okay?
[seagulls squawking]
[waves rolling softly]
Enjoy.
[Serge] You're very generous, Madame.
The more he knows what's at stake,
the better he will perform.
And if he fails?
[Griselda sighs]
Then the two of us will find ourselves
having an uncomfortable conversation
with the cartel.
Let me talk to Charly for a minute, okay?
[Charly] Hey, bud!
[soft music playing]
[water splashes]
[Samira] In Berlin,
when that guy showed up with the cat,
I knew something was off.
[soft music intensifies]
I figured.
Why didn't you say anything?
Honestly?
I have no idea.
I think I never said anything
because I trust you.
You can trust me, you know.
Baby, I love you. I'm your husband.
[music intensifies]
I know exactly what kind of man
I fell in love with.
I know what you can do,
and I know what I can do.
- We are gonna get out of this shit.
- Of course we're getting out of this shit.
Of course we are.
You know why? 'Cause I have a plan.
The only problem is, I
There's someone outside I need to contact.
[soft dramatic music continues]
Come here.
[music intensifies]
[Samira] Can you feel that?
- Look, this isn't the right time for this.
- Hey.
The cell phone.
I took it off Rami after she killed him.
[Charly breathes heavily]
You're incredible. You are amazing.
- How did I get so lucky?
- [Samira laughs]
You're the best!
[Griselda] That's enough!
Take them back!
[soft music fades]
[Charly] I love you.
- I love you.
- [Samira] Hey.
And I you.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Nina] You look tired.
If everything goes according to your plan
and your friend calls in time
and we help him, I need a favor too, okay?
[Joseph] Okay.
What're you gonna do with
the coin once you have it?
[sighs]
[suspenseful music continues]
[tense music swells and fades]
[Sharif] Okay.
Yes. We help you tomorrow,
and you will pay our rate.
But look, I'll use my men,
and also our own weapons.
- You wanted a gang, that right?
- What if the German's gone already?
[Kevan] What? Are Are you kidding?
Do you even know who Griselda is?
Griselda is like fire.
Whatever she touches, it's hers.
Oh, and get this shit,
one of the guards working for Griselda
will let us in.
He'll get us in the villa.
As soon as we've gotten inside,
we will shoot anyone you want us to.
Pew, pew, pew.
[in French] Voilà.
[in English] All for 200K.
[suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful music continues]
Cell.
[suspenseful music continues]
[breathing heavily]
- [phone beeps]
- [Charly] Shit, no reception.
[typing on phone]
- Is there a signal now?
- Shh
Yeah.
[typing on phone]
[line ringing]
[metal squeaks]
[line ringing]
[suspenseful music continues]
[line ringing]
- Yeah?
- [line ringing]
[line ringing]
[Charly] It's ringing.

[cell phone vibrates]
[cell phone vibrates]

Pick up, man.
[line ringing]
[Charly] Come on, come on.
[line ringing]
[cell phone vibrating]
[vibrating continues]
- Joseph?
- Yeah? [clears throat]
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hello?
- [Charly] It's me.
[tense music playing]
Listen.
Can you do something for me?
I've got a plan.
[tense music intensifies]
[tense music continues]
[music ends]
