Banlieue 13 (13th District) Page #6

---

I bet even you...

will be glad to see a cop's face.

Hmm.

What the hell is that?

A present from Taha.

Let me handle this.

I love presents.

Hey, Mongo! You ready now...

for me to teach you

a thing or two?

Hey! He's all yours.

Nice going!

Where did you learn that?

In a cookbook or official manual...

I don't remember.

It's all over, Lola, It's all over.

No, sorry,

but it's far from over.

F*** it,

I can't get through.

OK, got it.

Don't worry.

He's an expert at the cuffs.

He'll get them off you.

- Hello?

- Captain Tomaso.

I've got the bomb in front of me.

I need the code.

Where are you now?

The bomb's in front of me

with 31/2 minutes left.

Give me the code,

and we'll talk later.

Where are you? The exact spot.

On the roof of a building

in Barrio 13.

Do you want

the weather forecast as well?!

Good work, Tomaso.

We're all very proud of you.

Thanks, but time's running out.

I'll call you back

if I'm still alive.

B-13? Like Barrio 13?

- Yeah.

- Doesn't it seem strange...

that the bomb's code is Barrio 13...

Just coincidence.

Damien, wait! Hold on.

If the bomb wasn't scheduled

to come here...

why the hell does it have

the same number as this barrio?

Look, whatever it is,

I've got to stop it, OK?

Damien, listen.

What if it's the reverse?

The reverse of what?

You detonate the bomb

with the code instead.

Why send me, then,

if they wanted the f***ing thing...

to explode in the first place?

Explain that!

So it blows up right here

where they want...

the center of Barrio 13.

"Give me the exact spot."

Wasn't that what

your boss asked?

Yeah, but that's

a security measure!

It's a trap, Damien,

I'm sure!

Get off my back

and let me work!

I've already saved your life once,

so trust me!

I'm a soldier!

I've got a mission to do!

Cut this sh*t out, Leto!

In one minute,

we're all going to...

Open your eyes, Damien!

Nobody gives a sh*t

about this barrio.

Twenty years, and they can't

solve the problem.

They built a wall around us...

now they're going

to clean it out for good.

How come there are

no civil servants here?

No post office or schools,

and just by chance...

the police station

was shut down.

But the bomb was stolen, Leto.

They didn't make that up.

Oh, yeah, the bomb was attacked

by some bad guys, right?

Yeah.

That's the story

they told you, huh?

- Yeah.

- Then tell me why...

just before we saw the van,

it was intact.

Where were the signs

of an explosion...

of a smashed-in door?

Maybe it was a different one.

It was the same,

and you know damn well.

And once they were sure...

the bomb was on

the inside of Barrio 13...

and that it wasn't

going anywhere...

they got their best pit bull

to set it in motion.

And you really accomplished that mission.

You stopped Taha

from dumping it...

so it's all for us.

It can't be possible, Leto!

You don't kill

two million people...

'cause you can't

solve their problems!

No? They murdered six million...

because none of them

were blond with blue eyes!

Sorry, Leto.

Sorry.

Get off me!

I prefer dying for my brother's dumb ideas

than for yours.

It's over?

This time it really is over.

It's not over.

I told you that even you...

would be glad to see my face.

You got five minutes

to leave here.

Can I take a souvenir?

Yeah, be my guest.

Uh-huh.

Thank you. Nothing yet.

Jesus Christ, it's well over an hour

that we've been waiting.

And if by tonight nothing happens,

then what?

I've no idea, Corsini.

For Christ's sake...

it's supposed to explode

and that's that.

What's going on?

Sounds like a fight.

Go and have a look!

There.

Mission accomplished.

Well, not quite.

At the last minute...

we couldn't remember the code.

- But we both tried, didn't we?

- Mm-hmm.

But it's my fault, totally.

It was me

who forgot the numbers.

- You remember yours, right?

- Oh, yeah.

Hey, he's incredible.

We made an absolutely

fantastic team, you know?

And without Leto,

I'd be dead now.

OK, let's have it.

- Wow, like the two zone numbers.

- Yeah.

That's wild, eh?

A coincidence.

Now, we got 7-0-9.

Easy to remember,

that's today's date.

end of the summer holidays.

Practical, eh?

A bomb explodes on the day...

you know everyone's

around for sure...

and you get rid of

all the scum in one shot.

If I'm mistaken, please stop me.

Now then, the code.

I think that I've got the rest of it.

B13. Like Barrio 13.

How could I forget?

Why don't I give you

the honor of finishing?

Are you telling me you plan

on blowing up this bomb here in Paris?!

I'm sorry, but I thought the code was

to defuse the bomb.

You mean that if I punch it in,

it'll do the opposite...

Stop playing the fool, Tomaso!

You know perfectly well!

No, I don't. Explain it to me.

I want to know why...

Barrio 13 is uncontrollable.

It costs a fortune to the state.

The taxpayers are worried.

Worried, frightened, and fed up

with paying for such scum!

So we clean it out with a bomb?

Yes. It's not very democratic,

but it solves all the problems.

Except one. Yours, sir.

No, I beg of you! Please!

Look, why don't we clean up everything?

Do you want us all killed?!

You should have thought

of that when you built it!

No!

You really thought I was going

to go through with it.

Why? For revenge?

No, you don't always need

violence to solve problems.

There are

more democratic ways.

Look out of the window,

and smile.

Was the sound OK?

What are you plotting, Tomaso?

I'm doing my job, sir.

You know what my job is?

I see that laws are obeyed.

Obeyed by everyone.

I make sure

that no one forgets that.

That's my job...

no more, no less.

Now, if you still

don't understand...

you can see it all on network TV.

As well as internet reservations.

You can also purchase

your ticket...

on the train from a conductor.

No tickets are as yet available

at ticket windows

and this may continue for some time.

For rail companies,

it's impossible to estimate...

when the computer breakdown

will be repaired.

As you know,

it has now been twenty-four hours...

Barrio 13 is uncontrollable.

It costs a fortune to the state.

The taxpayers are worried.

Worried, frightened...

and fed up with paying

for such scum!

So we clean it out

with a bomb?

Yes. It's not very democratic,

but it solves all the problems.

You sure you don't want

to stay on this side?

With the reward

you're going to get...

you could buy a real nice place.

I got a nice place.

Besides, this is where I live.

I was born here.

Now all I want to do

is live here in peace.

But you will, Leto.

They're going to be...

demolishing the wall

next week.

The police, the post office...

and the school
