I'm being taken away.

-What?

What are you saying?

What an idiot.

It can't be true.

Idiot.

See you then, boss.

-See you.

Hello?

Franois, can you hear me?

Stop!

Stop, police!

My colleague is in there.

Listen. There's a police man in there.

Turn off that noise.

Franois, can you hear me?

-I've had enough of this.

How do we get him out?

-At the rubbish dump.

Unload here.

-Excuse me?

It's an order.

Franois, it's not my fault.

You a**hole.

And this time I'll report you.

Hello, Franois.

I told you I couldn't help it.

Boisrond with a "d" at the end, right?

We found another Jesus.

Will you interrogate him?

-No, thanks.

I already made a donation.

But my colleague.

He's very unhappy at the moment.

It will relax him.

This is Jesus.

He's a specialist.

He likes to expose himself near schools.

Take his statement.

Chief?

-Yes.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

It's about the working hours.

Some colleagues have complained.

Name, first name, profession.

Name, first name, profession,

please.

I completely understand.

Yes...

-It's a problem.

What's he doing?

Have you gone mad?

Beating up a suspect?

I didn't touch him.

-This is going to cost you.

It's only natural

to lose it sometimes.

But he ran against all the walls.

You shouldn't leave any traces.

-He did it himself!

When you hit or kick,

it leaves marks.

This works really well.

Nobody will know.

I'll talk to the chief.

This is good reading.

A shame.

It wasn't easy...

...but I convinced the chief

not to report you.

Thank you, but I swear

I didn't do anything.

Franois, this is between

you and your conscience.

There you go.

-No longer on the house?

No, no, but it's been so long that...

Don't worry about it.

-I've never seen anybody like him.

I know men better then a shrink does.

Since I lay on the couch beside them.

They all have a weakness.

This one doesn't.

And he landed on me.

I don't like to see you like this.

-I tried everything, Simone.

If I give you advice, will you listen?

TV122, report in.

-This is TV122. I'm listening.

Ren, go see Natasha.

She's received death threats again.

We're on the way.

-What's it about?

A woman who says she's being

threatened by a man.

Isn't it true?

-She's a pathological liar.

I know her stories by heart.

I'll have a look around

and you tell the inspector everything.

Lesbuche, Franois Lesbuche.

-Maybe he'll enjoy the story.

Old idiot. He's not the one

who got raped.

Look here. This is

from a month ago.

Now, he's constantly calling.

Have a drink. I'll finish my bath.

Please do.

He almost got me, but luckily

somebody walked in on us.

Hello?

Oh no, it's him.

He wants to kill me today.

Hello? Hello?

He hung up.

I beg you. Protect me.

I'm afraid.

I'll get it.

She's lying, isn't she?

No, she's really being threatened.

-I beg you.

We'll be here tonight at 9.

-Not me.

Ok, I'll be there at 9.

Promise.

Thank you.

Good that not all cops are rotten.

Yes.

What does she mean by 'rotten'?

Don't you know that expression?

-No.

A rotten cop is a corrupt cop.

I see.

It means the same as 'on the take'.

On the take? Taking bribes.

You've got it.

There. It starts automatically

when the phone rings.

Does it record?

-Yes, yes.

Thanks.

-I'm not staying all night.

No, that would be inconvenient.

Do you have something to defend yourself?

-This gas paralyses the assailant.

Yes, have you had it for long?

-For 2 years.

2 years. The gas doesn't work anymore.

It keeps 6 months at most.

Really?

-Yes.

It burns.

Quick, get some water.

For gas that's over the date,

it works really well.

Yes, but it doesn't paralyse anymore.

Your eyes are all red.

Like an albino rabbit.

It burns, you know.

I'm so sorry.

You have to be pretty desperate

to attack somebody who uses this.

I'm not referring to you.

I'm so sorry.

Can't I make it up to you?

Yes, you could go out

for dinner with me tomorrow.

You're a big girl.

Go as far as you want.

Exactly, carte blanche.

Take care.

Who was that?

-Natasha.

Your stubborn new guy invited

her to dinner. It's working.

If you knew horses as well

as you know men...

...I'd make a killing tomorrow.

Well, I never slept with a horse.

Good evening.

-Good evening.

Where are we going?

You know Paris better than me.

You make a suggestion.

Have you got anything against Russians?

-No.

I know a nice Russian restaurant.

Chaluska!

No thanks, I don't drink.

-But you have to.

Or they'll sell you to a kulak.

-In that case.

Thanks.

It must be free here.

I see no prices.

Money has no value here.

Let me choose.

We'll have that, that and that.

And that and that.

And a bit of that.

Will you stick with champagne?

-With vodka.

With vodka. Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Enjoy.

Great. I love lump fish roe.

-It's caviar.

It looks like lump fish roe.

-Have you never had it?

Caviar? No.

-Let's drink to that.

I'll be right back.

Are you sure this is not a mistake?

Yes, you're right.

I forgot the vodka.

That's another 500 francs.

Do you accept cheques?

All done.

We have to give them something.

-Sorry?

We have to give them something.

-Of course.

Please.

-Thank you.

You too?

-And you too. Please.

The musicians as well.

-Yes, of course.

Please. Always useful.

And the owner gets my tie.

Here you go.

A present. Good evening.

-Thank you.

That Russian restaurant was great.

Alright. Take care.

She made him spend 5000 francs.

-Oh dear.

I hope he got some good value out of it.

-She says not.

5000 will create a

hole in his budget.

Poor guy.

One moment.

The profit's bigger than

expected, sir.

3200 francs

-That's a surprise.

Thanks, Yvonne.

Bring us a Bordeaux.

The good Chteau-Latour.

Yes, you've got one left.

Great. I wasn't expecting that.

-Me neither.

Thanks.

Is your little liar

still being threatened?

Well...

I connected her phone to a tape recorder.

Well done. Cheap and useful.

Individually?

-No, let me.

You didn't eat anything.

Dividing by 2 wouldn't be fair.

And this bottle

costs 600 francs.

Thanks.

-Listen, Franois.

If you drink wine only

once in your life, take this one.

Try it for me. Please.

My God.

Look at that.

Good, isn't it?

Yes.

Yes, exactly. Lorette in the third.

Hello. It's me.

The little liar's all yours.

How can you stand him?

-I have no choice.

I was waiting for your phone call.

-But your phone was bugged.

Exactly.

Ah, did he start again?

It was quiet for a few days,

but today he started again.

Does he want to come over tonight?

-Are you inviting me to dinner?

Is your colleague in.

-He's taking a statement.

But, Franois, couldn't you...

-Yes, yes.

I'm just taking a statement.

Come chief, I'll explain.

-Name, first name, profession, please.

He's working on something.

-I can see that.

No, it concerns the Camoun case.

With his looks, he's

able to make the girl talk.

Is your cold getting better?

-I think this is helping.

A mineral water, please.
