L.627 Page #4

Synopsis: This gritty police drama shows us the underbelly of the Parisian drug trade. Lulu is a tough streetwise narcotics cop who, like a Frank Serpico or a Dirty Harry Callahan, doesn't play by the rules or kowtow to his weak and/or corrupt superiors. Lulu thrives in this violent world, where sheer guts can overcome his squad's deficiencies of money and equipment. Despite the ruthless environment that he lives and works in every day, he still manages somehow to maintain his humanity.

It's him.

That's perfect.

Now big, now small.

Magic, that's all.

You know my daughter Kuliba?

Tell him to go in.

Yes, yes.

He'll enjoy. Kuliba good girl.

It stinks of cigarettes here.

I owe three nights already.

And away we go.

I didn't ask anything.

And if l want to?

I like you to look at me.

Like what you see?

Tell me you like it.

I like it.

You're pretty.

Not too skinny for ajunkie.

Not my arms.

Just forget all that a minute.

Look at me.

I'm cold.

I'm looking.

I'm sick of lying!

You're a skeleton!

Stop it! Stop the sh*t!

Ccile, stop!

You know l can't.

You can, goddamit!

Move your ass!

It's a vicious circle.

Without drugs, l can't hustle.

I take drugs to hustle,

and l hustle for drugs. I'm stuck.

Then drop dead!

What a bore that sermon was.

But the priest's my wife's cousin...

Will you find the chteau?

I'll pay you the $400

after lunch there.

$450.

Please film my mother. She's 94.

They may be our last shots of her.

The cake too.

It was my wife's idea.

I'll do a close-up.

Great.

Isn't that a Panasonic 650 C?

Say, friend, may l ask you a favor?

Come film our table.

I'm trying to pick up this girl.

Tell her it's for Channel 3.

I record sound too.

Machines aren't my thing.

Move your stuff out of the way.

Move it!

Long time, no see.

Now and then.

But l'm freelancing today.

Hurry up. It's time for the cake.

That includes editing and music.

You work for TV?

Wedding cake in two minutes.

Sh*t, two minutes!

Take off the necklace.

The ring, too.

Forget about the ring.

Sign at the bottom.

Read it first.

Ah, it's you...

No, l'm busy with someone.

Hows the kid?

I'll call you back in a bit.

I promise.

What's Article L.627?

Public Health Code.

You get a checkup every 24 hours.

Narc cases can be held

for up to 4 days.

What's the doc do?

Nothing. He just examines you.

If you're ill, you get pills.

Give me half a fix at least.

It won't show.

I bought it with my own cash.

The black's the dealer, not me.

Just sign. We'll see later.

Relax.

You're going to the hospital.

I don't believe this!

It's a barrel of laughs here.

Go dry out... Thanks, schmuck!

Shut the f*** up!

Your ginks drive us bananas!

I'm deaf myself.

Send 'em up fast.

I'm trying.

My balls are exploding!

So, Marguet?

Yes, Mr Longuet?

Fill out those forms?

No, Mr Longuet.

Nows the time.

Go on, don't shake the foundations.

Say, guys, be good sports.

Take a breather.

- I wanna piss.

- All in due time.

What was your nickname

"Valium of Tears."

That's right.

"Valium of Tears."

He wore everyone's nerves out.

You sure wore them out.

Still investigator?

Take the exams.

I'm trying.

It helps for retirement.

Headquarters is asking

for a volunteer

for regional target practice,

week of the 17th.

We can't go asking around the units.

How about you, Marguet?

Interested?

Sure. Though l did it

2 years ago.

You need me?

Doing the mail?

Pick up those badges on the way.

Sure thing, chief. Anything else?

So what are you waiting for?

I need a car.

I've got to pick up some seals too.

I did call this morning.

I'm not at all pleased.

All your statistics are off.

I don't have a car.

Try one of the squads.

That's right. All of them.

I can't ask the units.

They'll send me packing.

Can you drop this off at HQ?

Sure thing, but l've got no car.

Take mine.

The keys are on my desk.

I'll get them and then...

There's no hurry, Raymond.

So, Marguet?

The trailer sprung a leak?

Pass me some vacation forms.

We're all out.

I need about 20.

Not again!

You never stop taking vacations.

In any case,

you're on target practice.

Are you a good shot?

Not so hot.

No matter. You're going anyway.

Even sober.

Some checkup!

lt lasted 5 minutes.

Sit down.

This is for us...

and this...

is for you. That should do it.

What did l tell you!

This won't do anything. It's sh*t!

So's the stuff in your veins.

But at least it helps me forget

this f***ing life!

Look at my arms!

No place left to stick a needle!

Not even in my fingers.

I do up to six fixes a day.

Your pills are ajoke.

All right... take that.

You'll feel better.

This is sh*t too.

It's all sh*t.

Got any cash to eat something?

Katy? lt's me.

Almost through... I'm coming.

The kid's better?

Sure. OK.

Take this... Hang on... Take this.

Don't worry. We'll get it back.

Our baby girl's asleep.

When Karine is 11,

promise me we'll leave Paris.

You promise?

What's wrong, Katy?

Sometimes, l'm scared.

I'm scared.

Me too.

Kiss me.

A half-hour already!

He won't come down.

Maybe not.

We're gonna blow it again.

You sure he took the bread?

No sweat.

From the guy in green.

No sweat.

I thought a coffee

would be nice.

You still haven't caught him?

Not yet.

I would have liked

to be in the police.

What degree do you need?

Degree?

He's coming out.

They've got it.

The dope's in his mouth.
