Sh*t.

I should have placed a different bet.

I'm such an idiot.

The thief was arrested

at Boulevard Barbs.

See? Why get all worked up?

My horse didn't win

and the thief was arrested anyway.

A burglar at 12 Rue Myrrha.

That's around the corner. Let's go there.

TV122 goes after the burglary.

-Got it.

Not so fast. Let's get him here.

Police, don't move!

-Don't shoot!

Get the handcuffs from the car.

-Didn't you bring them?

They ruin my pockets. Go!

Didn't I tell you to disappear?

Next time, I'll take you in. Get lost.

No, upstairs.

Where is he?

-I let him go.

He blew the whistle on a pimp.

-But we caught him red-handed.

There are many little fish like him.

If we want to catch big fish, we need

information from little guys like him.

So, if I understand it correctly:

We let one go because

he gives us information.

Using this information we

catch the next one.

He gives us a lead on the third one, etc, etc.

So we collect lots of information,

but we arrest nobody.

Prisons are all full anyway.

How's the new guy doing?

-He's an idiot.

The only medal he'll win is

for incorruptibility.

You've only worked with him for a week.

-I can't stand him.

What can I say?

I can't stand him.

I don't trust him.

And what do you do in the evenings?

-I study for the exam.

Of course. You want to

be a police chief.

You have to work if

you want to get ahead.

Oh yes, you get nothing for nothing.

-No.

Ren!

I've been looking for you all morning.

-What's wrong?

Race 4. 20:
1 for number 417.

-Is that written in the stars?

Listen to me.

This one is certain.

We've got less than 5 minutes.

417. Hurry up.

-We're off.

Make way.

500 Francs on a win by 417.

A win for 17! 17!

-We're closed. Closed.

We've started. Macha Dumrilist in the lead.

-Go.

Mac Donald, Mic Mac, Mauviette

are following.

Come on.

-Naramba's getting closer.

The final has begun.

Macha Dumril leads, followed by Nonmaton.

Naramba's keeping up.

Mon Sommeil's also able to follow.

We're approaching the last bend.

Macha Dumril under attack by

number 17, Naramba.

17 challenges 13. What a match.

And the last straight end...

Number 17 takes first place,

closely followed by number 13...

...and number 11.

Thank you, madam.

Didn't I tell you

not to come here?

I'm just here for today.

-I see.

You're lucky that I won.

-I won as well.

See that? A police chief's

salary, earned in a couple of minutes.

Car 26, your position, please.

Car 26, I'm listening.

Where were you?

-The new guy felt sick.

We went for some fresh air.

-Is he feeling better?

Yes, he'll be alright.

-Ok, go back to your sector then.

Understood.

-So I was sick?

Look at you.

You're all pale, almost green.

The fact that we're not working

is making me sick.

What's our job then?

-To make sure people are safe.

To arrest burglars. You know that.

-You want to arrest somebody?

Plenty of opportunities.

Look, that caf's terrace is one

meter too long. Forbidden!

Article R38-7.

A naked woman on that poster:

forbidden, article G92.

That granny, she's jaywalking:

forbidden!

That drag queen:

only allowed during the carnival.

That dog can't do that there. After it!

What are those two guys

smoking? Forbidden!

That shop doesn't have its

prices listed. Arrest them all!

Car 26 to Central.

Emergency! We need 6 cars.

The new guy arrested 250 people!

He's honking his horn.

Forbidden. Arrest him.

Murderer! Are you mad?

-It's nothing.

Don't touch it, murderer.

-Please calm down.

Let go of me.

-What's happening here?

Good that you're here.

-You weren't using the crossing.

And making a public scandal?

Do you carry ID?

And does the little mite have ID?

-But...

No? Alright then.

But next time, you'll be in trouble.

Keep walking. Keep walking.

We spend 10 hours a day together.

We have to get along.

-Yes.

We distinguish between theory and practice.

Theory's for at the academy.

And practice... I've been

collecting it for 20 years.

We got information that Camoun

is up to something.

Are you feeling any better?

At his age, you get over

things quickly.

The bill, please.

-No, never mind. It's on me.

Individual bills.

There's a pickpocket across the street.

So? Don't we do anything?

Go after him if you like.

I've got better things to do.

You can make a potato gratin with it.

Just turn it around.

After a while, add parsley.

The little machine cuts it up.

You don't just eat potatoes.

You can also cut up gherkins.

The thinner the

gherkin slices, the better.

Use this one to make Vichy carrots...

Police!

These are my recommendations

for tonight's races in Vincennes.

I've got him.

Sit there.

Bag, ID.

Alright.

Where did you find this bag?

In the basket of a lady.

-Please shut up.

Let him answer.

Did you find this bag in the street?

Yes.

And you picked it up?

-Yes.

That's when you saw this gentleman.

And you asked him where the nearest

police station was.

Yes.

-Yes.

And what a coincidence.

You found a friendly police man

who accompanied you all the way here.

Yes.

Not many people return

found objects anymore.

If this bag won't be claimed

for a whole year...

...it will be yours.

Sign here.

That's it.

This is your copy and your

ID card. All done.

Can I go?

-Of course.

I think you owe me an explanation.

"Confidential memo, nr B742:

We have already made 3,246 arrests.

That is an increase of 11%,

compared to last year.

Since we don't want

to be labelled...

...the most dangerous arrondissement

in Paris...

...we are friendly requested to postpone

arrests for petty crime until next year.

So, not only...

...did you risk getting a knife

in your belly...

...but you were also pushing us up

in the crime charts.

Unbelievable.

-Ah, yes.

You don't learn everything at

the academy. That would be too easy.

Are you a fast gunman?

At the academy, I was the fastest.

-Let's see then. Stand there.

Are you ready?

On the count of three.

1,2,3.

And you were the fastest.

Do you want to know why you

needed a bit more time than me?

Because I put lead in here.

If you don't want any lead here,

you put it here.

You hide here.

You'll be able to see everything.

Careful. Camoun is a dangerous guy.

We don't want to arrest him.

We want to know where he lives.

So we can tap his phone.

I'll hide behind that bin.

-No, get in it.

Warn me when he arrives.

I'm going into the house.

Hello, Franois. Everything alright?

-It doesn't exactly smell like roses.

That's nothing.

I should tell you where I once ended up.

There's a car coming.

-Ok.

It's Camoun.

Don't talk to me anymore.

Pick me up around 8.

-Alright.

Don't forget.

With Ramirez, it's a big deal.

The only problem is...

I don't trust him.

-If it's such a big deal...

It's just a garbage truck.

-Alright.

Don't stay here on your own then.

Nobody knows I'm here.

-You don't know anybody here.

You know I'm always

carrying something.

You're always armed.

Pick me up tomorrow morning and...
