Banlieue 13 (13th District) Page #4

---

What are you talking about?

You're a cop.

And a cop who thinks

I'm an idiot doesn't live long.

Come on, Leto,

let me go.

This is where you wanted me

to take you.

OK, so you're here.

Now take out

your police manual...

and look at the page that says

"I'm up sh*t creek."

Leto, I'm not a cop,

for Christ's sake.

It's true. Let me go,

for f***'s sake.

It's thanks to me

you're out of jail.

Yeah, I wonder why

you did that.

Somebody needs me

to be set free.

But whatever the reason,

whatever the deal...

count me out.

Even if it's

to save your sister?

She doesn't need anyone

except her brother.

F***!

Hey, you know that's my car

you just f***ing wrecked.

Sorry, man. I broke out

of jail an hour ago.

This piece of sh*t

didn't have any brakes...

so I was coming here

for a little shelter.

For shelter?

Ha ha ha!

You got

some bad directions, man...

'cause this ain't Monaco.

It's Baghdad.

Tell 'em to calm down.

Cool it.

Easy.

Sorry about your car,

but in exchange, take mine.

How's that for a deal?

Well, did you sell

the bomb or not?

It ain't about that, Taha.

- It's Leto.

- Leto?

He broke out an hour ago.

It won't be long

before he starts...

banging the door down.

Hey, wake up.

Your brother's on his way

to rescue you.

Be careful.

OK.

First of all, how did you know

I was a cop?

The way you move.

Nobody around here

moves or fights like that.

It looks too clean.

When you come from the streets,

you got one thing more.

- Oh, yeah? What?

- Hate.

Right. Sorry to disappoint you.

Hate wasn't part

of my education, like you.

They taught me liberty,

equality, fraternity.

Water, gas, electricity.

You don't give a sh*t

about laws, do you, wiseass?

Sure, I do, but I want them

to be the same for everybody.

But they are, and I'm here

to make sure that they're obeyed.

No, no, you're just a pit bull

who bites for his master.

Yeah, when laws aren't obeyed,

that's what I do.

This is where I was born.

It was already

pretty bad news.

Then they built a wall around this

when I was 18 years old.

Did I do anything

to deserve that punishment?

No. I respected

every f***ing law to the letter.

And I didn't quit school

in ninth grade to sell crack.

It's because they closed

the school down.

The only thing I ever did wrong

was getting born here.

And what the hell is burning

people's cars gonna change?

You know any other way

for us to get heard?

Not immediately, no.

Want me to tell you

what's going on...

and why I sprung you?

For a good cause I imagine,

am I right?

Yeah, for a good cause.

There's a bomb here

in this goddamn shithole of a barrio...

and if I don't defuse it

in two hours...

Barrio 13's population

will be zero.

So if I... if I think

the way you do...

I could say to myself,

"What the f*** do I care...

"if two million losers

get snuffed?"

But no, there's always

an a**hole who's willing...

to fight for the idea

that laws are made...

for everybody.

And now you help me

to locate that bomb...

or you protect

your own precious ass...

like all the bourgeoisie

you criticize.

There's really

a bomb around here?

I don't even want to know

why it turned up here.

- Who's got it? Taha?

- That's right.

He's got your sister

and my bomb.

That's two good reasons

to work together.

If you're lying again,

you're a dead man.

Deal.

So what's your plan?

Tell me exactly

what Taha's place is like.

I'll figure out how to sneak in.

I find the bomb,

and once it's defused...

we go after your sister.

Will I drink tea?

No, you got

to create a diversion.

Taha's gonna make you

his priority.

That way I'm sure

not to be disturbed.

You think it'll work?

- You got a telephone?

- Yeah.

Hand it over.

That's not Phantom Man.

It's James Bond.

Oh, very funny.

Yeah.

It's Leto.

How'd you get my number?

You can buy anything in jail.

Yeah, I heard you were out.

I'm over

at the factory opposite.

Hey, wait.

Who are you talking to?

Well, what do you want?

Listen, I'm with a cop.

He's got a deal for you.

I'll send K2 to get you.

What, are you out

of your f***ing mind?

The plan was to sneak in,

for Christ's sake...

not to advertise

that we're coming.

Discreet in through

the back door...

meaning never in their face,

playing it cooler than cool.

Forget your police manual.

You're in Barrio 13.

It's different here...

and I know Taha by heart.

Trust me, it's our only chance.

So what's your plan?

We fight his 200 goons...

and the winner's

whoever's not dead?

No. No one's gonna die.

There's only one thing

that works with Taha...

and if we use it,

it will give us time.

- What's that?

- His curiosity.

Who's this cop

he's talking about?

Mm-mmm.

What is this?

Whenever I ask a question...

I get a "Mm-mmm."

Hell of a vocabulary.

OK, find out everything

about that guy.

I mean everything.

And I want him here,

not at the morgue.

I'll be right back.

Count me out. Too risky.

You're dead

if you do it alone.

I've always worked alone,

and I'm still around...

so f*** off, Jack.

I know Taha's place

like the back of my hand...

all the exits, even the one I dug out myself.

Dude, I'm very happy for you.

I hope your hands didn't hurt.

I know where the bomb is!

You'll never find it

without me.

A couple of minutes ago,

you didn't even know...

there was a bomb.

What is this bullshit?

Taha's got a safety vault

for valuable things...

and I know how to get in.

How do you know

he put it in there?

Where's he gonna put it,

in the kitchen?

OK, here's the deal.

I set you free, and you shut up

and do what I say, OK?

No, I've got another deal.

You shut up,

pray my sister's alive.

If you behave,

I'll get your bomb.

Now uncuff me

before we're in deep sh*t up to our necks.

Deal.

Is this guy the cop?

Wow, what a sense

of deduction, K2. I'm impressed.

That's very funny.

If Taha doesn't finish you off,

the pleasure will be all mine.

Come on, let's go.

Follow us.

And no bullshit.

We're the nervous kind.

Hey!

Guard duty isn't for sleeping.

Sorry, but I dozed off.

- Where is he?

- In the back.

Did you feed him?

He eats all the time.

I got some work for you,

so you can stretch your legs a bit.

They could wipe out a city

with all this sh*t.

That's the van they transported

the bomb in it.

At least we're sure it's here.

Stay here, I'll pick you up on the way out.

Very funny.

Seems you got a new pal,

a f***ing cop.

He's no friend of mine.

He's the only one

that can defuse...

- the bomb you stole.

- The only one?

When the countdown ends,

everything goes within 8 kilometers.

And you, of course,

have come here to save us.

There's a code

that will stop the timer.

It will save more than

two million people.

The state sends us

a brave cop...

to save us from a nasty bomb...

that without our pal here

is gonna go boom.

Great story.

Thanks, Superman.

But let me be honest with you.

You see, we weren't planning
