Calm down!

What a fuckup!

Listen to me!

We don't want your baby!

Don't take him!

I want my sister to take him!

Get up!

Just come and sit down.

Calm down. Where's your sister?

There.

Come here.

What's his name?

Give it to her.

Calm down.

No foster home!

O.K. I promise!

No home!

You pack of morons!

She's just a user.

You weren't here!

l was told to go, so l went in.

But l said 7 p.m.

That's easy enough.

Cowboys!

We do our best.

Stop it, Dodo!

And this isn't dope?

It's jail for you!

Not jail!

They'll take him away from me!

I can take the baby.

I work, l can take care of it.

Work? l bet you hustle.

Oh shut up!

I don't hustle! l do housework!

You see! She works.

Oh f***! The kid!

What a mess here!

Cute kid. Maybe he's hungry.

Sure he is. I can hardly feed him.

I don't have enough money.

Enough to smoke crack!

I don't smoke!

Just once or twice a day.

See to that kid!

Shut him up, Vincent!

What am l supposed to do with him?

Let him do it.

I didn't become a cop for this.

And what are we doing here?

Let me go!

Relax!

She's nailed good, for 2-3 years.

But she doesn't sell.

She'll take the rap.

And the baby?

Foster home.

Hold on. The sis wants him.

Who cares?

You realize what you're doing?

You wanted to learn.

You're learning.

Got four bucks?

Again?

- Price is up.

- But it's good.

Ccile Rousselin. Room 38.

Since when?

Never mind. I'll call back.

Nice! Have a glass of wine.

My salt pork's

less fatty this time, no?

That's salt pork.

Of 122 Sundays on duty,

it's my 115th salt pork.

About time l got here.

Let's drink to that.

Aussenac, still on your phone tap?

I think they're about to go to work.

Weekends are the best time for them.

There are only seven of us on duty.

The dealers say that too.

"Friday to Monday, we're cool."

A roach!

Doesn't it stink enough here?

The Prefect comes Monday.

Tidy your desks a bit.

He might come upstairs.

Got that, Aussenac?

Do we hang bows on the door?

Don't worry, chief.

We'll be out on ajob.

Fine!

Give me some salt pork.

Why don't we get the same benefits

as Customs?

A percentage on our cases.

Or keep the vehicles we confiscate?

Since theyjust rot in the garage.

Lay off me about Customs.

In some ways,

they're as hard up as we are.

Try dealing with 4 airbuses

coming in from Africa.

You'd do like them:

Check the first 100 bags,

find dope in 10, then stop.

Plus the diplomats who object,

and the sub-prefect

who orders you to obey.

Result:
50 kilos of drugs

slip by with State blessings.

Nobody's taking real measures.

We're a patronizing police.

This isn't Groucho-land.

It's Grouchy-land. Always too late.

My son is 13.

I'm sure he's met his first dealer.

That's your new sign?

For narcs,

"The French Joint" is perfect.

So's the price.

Paid for out of my pocket.

Quit whining!

lt's not sacrifice, it's renovation.

You heard our Minister:

"Modernizing the police

can only succeed

if its members participate actively."

Cough up and you participate.

Anyone here?

What is it?

Police.

Is Ccile Rousselin

still in room 38?

I don't know. Doubt it.

Take a look.

What's the name again?

I have a man. For the past 4 days.

That's not it.

Mme Rousselin was here before.

No forwarding address?

Is it serious?

Marguet, Lucien.

Investigator.

Extension 791.

One request.

Name:
Rousselin, Ccile.

Date of birth:
2/28/66.

In so early?

Quiet weekend?

See? For the cats.

Hold on.

It's Philomene.

Tell her to hold.

He's coming.

You have nothing?

Negative... All right. Thanks.

Oh sh*t.

When did this happen?

Don't panic. Stay where you are.

We're on our way.

Willy bashed her?

No, he caught it.

Sh*t!

Philomene's here?

Berthe, my sis.

- Willy?

- In here.

You guys are really sick!

You gave us to the Senegalese!

And they're already sprung!

It can't be, it can't be!

I'm sure they were booked!

But it was them!

The two of them!

Look what they did to Willy,

with razor blades!

Might have been their pals.

I can tell blacks apart.

Can he sleep in this racket?

Turn it down, Berthe.

The doc gave him a sedative.

We can hospitalize him.

What more can they do?

Who squealed?

Guess.

And they're both

wanted.

You have to get out of town.

F***ing sh*t,

it's great working with you guys!

I'm coming!

The D.A.'s office misplaced the file.

It's lost.

I had nothing to do with it.

I still have our copy.

Expelled aliens with 65 g,

false papers, stolen credit cards,

and they let 'em go!

No file, no case.

I'm clean on this one.

It's not my boner.

Drop it, he's right.

But he pulled his own boner.

Squealing on

our informers.

Great, eh, Dodo?

Who gave Willy to the blacks?

Answer me!

Answer me for once, dammit!

You got water on the brain?

You've pulled this number before.

You get a guy to spill the beans

in exchange for our informers.

Result:
Willy gets slashed.

We lose our informers while you

fill in your goddam statistics!

You can get new informers!

Like Willy, who brings us kilos?

Your notebook...

I hate your f***ing notebook!

Your water pistol, your sh*t spray,

your dwarf....

You're a prick!

You're a prick.

We're all pricks! Zeros!

Lunch?

I just filched this wine

from that moron delivery boy.

Can you shut the door?

Who died?

- Hi.

- I only work in cars.

I know. I'm looking for Ccile.

She's been gone for a week.

Did she change strips?

Or get arrested?

Cut the questions! Try the cops.

You're sweet. Thanks.

Is this all you have?

Affirmative.

We check this one?

I'll get her ready.

That was quite a sight.

But you could tell it wasn't her.

She must have been your flame

before Katy.

Get off my back.

Nice start for the day.

Morgue before breakfast,

and nowthis.

I'm getting old.

You'd better clean out

your head, or else...

Your mother's been expecting you

for two weeks.

I've had too much work.

I've heard that one before.

You didn't eat.

Some yoghurt?

Just try. I'll help you.

Don't be mad.

I couldn't make it until now.

We're overworked.

But l feel good.

The work's fine.

Really.

It's a good team, we get results.

Everything's fine... just fine.

Some more?

I need to walk.

There you are.

So this is where

your granddad lived.

Is it that bad?

I feel dirty, Katy.

I'm ajinx. Go away or l'll hurt you.

You already have.

Why stay with me?

I read that divorce and alcoholism

are highest among cops.

That's right.

Statistics aren't my thing.

It won't work, Katy.

So, it won't work.

Status quo.

Still at the bar.

What's that racket we hear?

I'm playing pinball.

Don't distract me.

I just lost the extra ball!

Save one for me, honey.

Ccile!

What?

With the carriage.

You're crazy!

What are you doing here?

I've been looking for you

for a year.

Look.

- It's yours?

- Sure.

That's what l tried to tell you.

Meet mom. Careful:

She only knows about the dope.

Mom, this is Lulu.

Can you take him?

Isn't he sweet?

I don't knowthe father.

Guess his name.

Gabriel.
