L.627 Page #7

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.

I can't turn a trick with this face.

It can wait. I'll drop you off.

I feel like walking.

Sure?

Got any bread?

I need a bit more.

Why? Up to 3 grams?

No, l swear. But l need more.

Cut the bullshit. I knowyou.

Anyway, l've got to run.

You've got no friends,

just stoolies!

We knowthey're here!

I told you, there's no Willy here!

I only take tourists.

Blacks are too risky.

No more blacks.

Show me.

Watch it. Selim may be around.

He's downstairs.

So, you bum, you forgot me?

You promised to come back.

Wasn't it good?

Oh sure, very good.

Have you seen two blacks?

Two Senegalese.

Mine are Zairian.

A couple.

Room 41.

For the past four days.

You're a doll.

And my papers?

In the works.

Here?

Weird owner.

- Who is it?

- The Pope.

This is Marie, a colleague.

I've looked for you for 3 months.

Since the Paki affair.

Some affair! F***ed me up good!

We've been lying low

in hotels since.

You lost the squat. I got fired.

So we're even.

Tie score. New game.

It's stuffy in here.

So, what's going on?

It's Philomene.

What's with Philomene?

Sh*t, who did this to you?

He did it to me!

He's crazy! He tried to kill me!

Are you cracked?

OK, l did it. But there's more.

Take a look!

She's been shooting up

on the sly!

I was really sick.

Smoking sh*t didn't work no more.

Tell him, Lulu!

That's what calms me.

Start up again

and l'll calm you my way!

Quiet! You'll rouse the whole place.

She's right, Willy. Shut up.

You're bad news, Philo!

Keep it up and Willy'll drop you

in no time.

And l won't pull you out

of the gutter.

I'll try and stop.

Try Marmottant.

Ever try to get a bed there?

We'll see what we can do today.

Cool it!

Call me later today.

OK, but if she starts again...

OK, OK...

Even strung out,

you're an ace shoplifter!

I manage pretty good.

Sell to the whores?

Yeah.

A $90 perfume goes for $35.

Take one for your wife.

You, too. Help yourself.

Let's get going, Marie.

Just watch yourself.

You turned her on to the stuff.

Try room 24.

It'll make your trip worthwhile.

He's biting me!

Motherf***er!

Little prick!

Let go of the cuffs!

You'll pay!

Seek and you find.

Right, pal?

I attack

Quebec with three armies.

Oh no, not Quebec! Sh*t!

I keep it!

You sure

we have nothing on today?

And l invade Greenland!

Move, prick! Sit down there!

Just when l was winning!

You're bleeding!

Thanks for the help!

No, it's ketchup!

We stopped Dodo's offensive!

A battle's brewing.

You just won the Rasta

from the metro.

See what he did?

Prick!

Ccile called. Important.

Still mad?

Don't touch the mess.

And this, Mr Lulu?

For the trash?

What is it? Where're they from?

A batch of shoes the wop swiped.

You can have them.

I can take them?

Sure! For the whole tribe.

No cash in here?

Lift your arms.

Our monthly expenses

get paid after lunch!

About time!

Arrest report?

No, AIDS test form.

It's no joke. See a doctor.

I will, l will.

How much?

$260 each.

I have one bill left.

You blew it again!

- Speed it up!

- Hold on!

One guy's getting his money's worth.

That's it.

Not for the Missus.

How considerate.

There are two reams of top sheets

but only one of second sheets.

We've been telling you for years

that report forms use one top sheet

for several second sheets.

And for years l get them

in equal supply.

The supply room's overflowing

with top sheets.

So we gotta use them up.

Like these erasers.

Naturally you don't want any.

Sure. I'll take one.

You didn't tell us about the bust.

I came down to get you.

But not for a bust.

We didn't know.

So you say.

So l say.

The cousin's Willy?

I bet it's Willy.

I forgot.

There's a warrant out on him.

If l find him, l jail him.

Find him first.

You make a vocation

of busting our cousins?

My vocation is chemistry.

If we'd been there, you'd be OK.

If you'd been there...

For that,

you have to move your ass.

Ourjob's not behind a desk

or a bar.

I'm fed up with late risers

who take three-hour lunches,

and split early when there's work!

Relax, precious!

Who's going for an AIDS test

next month?

It's a morning off!

Yeah, right!

Here he comes now.

He's taking the money.

That's it. I'll replay it for you.

They eat you up.

You not only chase them,

you film them too.

It's an obsession.

I'm memorizing them.

I'm bad with faces.

Especially blacks.

I just busted a dealer

l nailed 3 years ago.

He recognized me.

I didn't recognize him.

You like being the voyeur.

Funny, eh?

But you have dozens of tapes of them

and hardly any of your daughter.

How often have you filmed her?

Or me?

Except on vacation.

- What are you doing?

- Filming you.

Not like this!

Stop it! Just like a kid!

I look awful tonight.

I think you look beautiful.

You knowthings better

by filming them?

Maybe.

I feel as if l knowthem better.

Get undressed.

So you can screen it

by mistake for your dad?

You really want me

to undress like that?

You never asked me before.

I wanted to, but l never dared.

Will you undress?

When l'm ready.

Will you ask again?

In ten minutes?

It's really late.

Once we've seen Ccile,

we go home. OK?

She tried to call me.

Twice.

You see she's not here.

She must have a client.

I never saw a 45-minute trick.

Does she do specials?

Very funny.

She means a lot to you?

Do l drop you off,

or we spend the night here?

Janine must be hungry by now.

Janine?

My turtle, Janine.

Ja-nine. Nin-ja. Get it?

I get it.

Not a sign of life for 2 hours.

The cousin said

things get going about 7 p.m.

You're going to get tagged.

We can see that.

Off-hours, she must be sexy.

She must give good head.

She'll get us towed off.

Police. We're on a stakeout.

It's not marked.

So l'm telling you.

That's all the more reason

to obey the law.

Get off our tits!

Listen, you! Tow us away,

and you'll be reading

the want ads tomorrow!

Let's get our asses in there!

Antoine said to wait.

I run this unit.

Let's not forget that.

Dodo saes we go in.

We get the message.

Someone's going to be mad.

What's with you?

Power check.

Any blacks in the building?

Two in the back on the right.

But we don't have electricity.

Break it down, Manu.

You're off your rocker!

He's mine! You can't take him!

We won't.

I'll kill him first!

She's loony!

Easy now.

We won't take your kid!

No foster home!

Where's the dealer?

- It was his idea!

- Just women here!

Sh*t! We could have waited!

That's enough!

I.D., papers, everything!

She's on crack!

We can't reason with her!

Give me the baby!

She's on crack!

You smoke crack?

I don't smoke.

Then what's this?

Don't smoke!

But you lie!

I don't lie!

Your papers?

That was quick.

Ready for promotion 1st Grade?

I left before the end. I've had it!

No instruction on street life,

just red tape.

Just howto type... Reports.

I've been typing for 14 years.

Police dog needed

at 72 Rue Stephenson.

Wasn't it for 7 p.m.?

He's ballbustin' again!

Step on it!
