That you know?

Everything, brother.

Everything.

You and Franck

were seen at the service station

the day before.

Was that a coincidence?

Even if I did know,

why would I be willing to squeal?

Because of the natural fear

all men have of dying

or at least of feeling pain.

The fear of suffering, Mat,

a lot, for a long time,

directly or indirectly.

You know

some very pretty women.

You have 48 hours.

To my daughter!

I didn't think

anyone could live like this.

I've been given the Novak case.

Franck's death is a touchy issue.

It would appear that Franck had

some compromising documents

on leading figures in the city.

Did you know?

What can I say?

It's not my case.

You're in charge.

A cop can afford

such an expensive coat?

You look scared.

I am scared.

Yes.

Who knew Franck

had so many friends?

He certainly didn't.

All the big shots.

Even that old whore Tarroux is here.

Your senator.

- Not mine.

- He's everyone's senator.

When you get a cab,

fill a glass of water

or buy a lettuce,

he gets a cut.

On household refuse,

on every container in port,

on every bag of cement...

He's Mr. 20%.

The paragon of republican virtues.

Tarroux...

Any link to Franck?

None at all, maybe.

Franck spent the last few months

at La Garenne.

You know,

his father's place in the woods.

He was seeing someone.

You knew?

Excuse me, just so you know...

You may not realize

what you've gotten into.

I'm sure we can come

to some agreement.

What one man has done,

another can always undo.

I remember when cops were cops

and crooks were crooks.

Times have changed, Mr. Super Cop.

Your status too.

You're nothing.

Just a vulnerable man.

Your henchman lost his papers.

Luckily, I found them.

Can you return them to him?

You guys on the sidelines

have the biggest mouths.

But we see the game.

I have

your daughter's present, Ladje.

It's good you remembered.

I like it.

What about you?

Got anything for me?

Maybe.

I want to know who killed Franck.

I think we need to meet.

You know where.

At the service station.

I'll be there.

See you.

Got my presents?

The names?

Bastard!

Ran into your pals?

Franck's dead, Jango.

Get rid of this.

- Accident at work?

- If you like.

Fix it up with genuine false plates.

I need it tomorrow.

Got anything for me now?

I have that.

It'll do. Got the keys?

They're in it.

See you tomorrow.

This is Dr. Wagner. I called

about the car blocking my garage.

I have an emergency call.

How do I get out?

They're on their way?

Yes, I see them.

You're out here?

Why didn't you go in?

I was worried you'd be angry.

Come on in.

Want me to leave?

Whatever.

Never mind.

Pick your destination.

We're off on vacation?

I'd have gone if you'd said so.

I don't want you hurt.

Choose at the last minute.

If they ask,

I won't know where you are.

Take this.

What's all this?

It's from a friend.

Be careful.

I didn't know who to call.

Sorry.

You did the right thing.

What were they after?

I don't know,

but I know what they found.

Your gun.

- You didn't put it in the safe?

- I don't know.

I thought you might need it.

- Sh*t.

- They left the rest.

What rest?

Here.

Franck would've done the same.

He wouldn't have let you

lose your badge

or give into those f***ers like that.

Were you together long?

I don't know. I forget.

It depended on him.

He had his key.

He slept here between assignments.

He never stayed long

but it was enough.

Why didn't you say?

What would it have changed?

No sudden moves, pal.

Cut the crap and give me the message.

No message.

My boss seems very fond

of the human dimension of things.

Give him a call.

Registration data base

Aren't you on the shelf?

No guns in the office, you know that!

And loaded, to boot.

You loser...

Get outta here!

I hope you have what we want, pal.

Open up.

You got a pair at last. Good.

I'm too old to play with

supermarket guards. Where is she?

Z2 calling Z1.

Mat, it's Lon.

Bring back the car

and Spoke's gun too.

Mat, quit screwing up, you hear me?

She's dosed to the eyeballs.

A habit of hers?

No more than losing a finger.

Who is this chick?

Someone

who should never have met me.

Don't let anyone in, Jango.

Anyone at all.

Except Lon or me.

You remember Lon?

My partner at the 13th.

I remember her ass!

F***ing Franck...

This is it.

I'm here for this.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

Have a good day.

It's you, inspector.

I'm not an inspector now.

I don't know

what these documents are

but I have a vague idea.

I heard Franck's confession

a few days before he died.

Believe me,

he wasn't a corrupt man,

just someone sick of corruption.

An honest man, led astray

in a world too dirty for him.

As for his methods, who else

but him could judge them?

I'll ask one last favor of you,

Father.

Deliver it

to this name and address.

Not before tomorrow evening.

Thank you, Father.

Your pal Jango.

He knew the killer.

He had a gun and wasn't the kind

to get himself shot

without reacting.

Who's the girl?

You knew her.

I have a police report.

They brought her to you

the other night.

Apparently, you let her go

without starting procedures.

Do your job but get off my back.

One high caliber bullet.

In the mouth.

Like all those who talk too much.

The killer was in a hurry.

He didn't even clean up.

An 1 1.43 caliber.

For the time being,

I'm in charge here.

I need the seals.

Thank you.

Will you let us work now?

You're driving the wrong car,

sweetheart.

I have to undress her.

You should go.

F***ing bastard!

Piece of sh*t!

This is war, brother.

I didn't want it this way.

You chose it.

You have sh*t in your veins.

Sh*t!

You have what I want.

Give it back.

You'll get it back, don't worry.

You'll get it back.

Sort it out.

- Not now. Get out.

- Big mistake.

Want to see the f***ers' ball?

Let's get out of here.

Shitting yourselves

doesn't mean we should all panic.

We all knew a bank wouldn't give us

It's easy to take cover

behind parliamentary immunity,

but all our names

are on that damn list.

No one's seen the damn list yet!

And if someone did have it,

wouldn't the a**hole

have used it already?

Stop talking like a gangster, Tarroux.

I've lost 10 times more than you,

so I'll talk any damn way I like.

There's no list and never will be!

I wish I were as optimistic, senator.

- The cop is trouble.

- What's the f*ggot waiting for?

I warned you.

He'll never play along.

I think you know her well.

You could say that.

I'm sorry.

How did you find out?

A useful lay.

I have to go, I'll be late.

You're wanted

as a witness to a crime.

"Armed individual,

prone to dangerous behavior.

"Use all necessary precautions."

They'll shoot on sight.

Ballistics analyzed the bullet

from that girl killed at Jango's.

They compared it with the bullet

that the crime squad recovered

from where you shot Jesus.

Right where your friend Calhoune

told them to look.

The bullets were identical.
