so he'll walk straight into your arms.

And what do I do?

Take his money?

Arrest him and wait for me.

Police! Don't move.

Handcuff him.

Not there. Give it to me.

If you walk around with him like this,

his buddies will help him escape.

There.

Nicely tight and the other one...

...in the sock. That's it.

You go ahead.

-Won't he run off?

Have you ever tried

to run with that thing?

Keep going.

Left.

You have no right.

You'll get it back in 2 years.

When you come out.

It will have lost half of its value,

but you'll get it back.

We arrived home.

I'll give you five thousand

if you let me go.

Give it up.

-I don't have it on me.

You have three days

to give me the money.

Get lost.

-Thanks.

I'm completely broke.

Can't you lend me 100 francs?

Now you owe me 5100.

Do you think we'll see him again.

-Certainly not.

But at least he won't hang around.

And... the stuff?

The stuff?

-The powder.

I have an idea.

Any news about Camoun?

-No, nothing special.

Upstairs they want some results.

Have you got it too now?

Here, this clears the nose.

This doesn't only clear it.

It cures it as well.

What's it called?

-I've got another one.

Please, let me know if it helped.

Thanks, dear Ren. Thanks.

You have to be a bit careful

with Natasha.

Cops have been charged

with pimping before.

But she's not a whore.

She knows how to get around.

You know the law.

Better than me.

-Yes.

Don't. Excuse me.

-Yes?

You are the owner?

-Yes.

When did you open?

-Two weeks ago.

Ah, two weeks.

It's very good.

-Yes, very good.

-Very good.

That's rare in this suburb.

-Thank you.

We wouldn't want you to close down.

-No.

Why?

-Have a seat.

You know all the paperwork.

All the complicated rules.

The law...

-Everything is according to the book.

Let's start at the beginning.

Do you see that door?

It opens in the wrong direction.

We can change that.

-That will be expensive.

Carpenters are expensive.

The other day, I had some book

shelves built. I paid a fortune.

And that's a cheap thing to have done.

A door like this would cost...

-That door would cost you...

At least.

Can I offer you a little cigar?

Why a small one?

See? Giving advice

is also part of our job.

You make friends that way.

Everybody's happy, no?

-Yes.

Tell me. Could you do me a favour?

Can I borrow your car for the evening?

Next time, give me a bit more notice.

I wasn't really free this evening.

From now on, you have something

planned for every evening.

If he knew I spent the

evening with a cop.

Franck! No! No!

What's happening?

Stop it, Franck!

-Shut up!

Stop it!

Is that him?

That's her pimp.

Those are the rules.

Don't do anything stupid.

Franois, where are you going?

Boisrond, the chief wants to see you.

You won't be observing Camoun anymore.

-Why? Did we do something wrong?

No, it's temporary.

Your product is great, by the way.

It gives you real energy.

Don't take too much of it, though.

I haven't felt this good in a long time.

Explain this to me. Sh*t.

A**hole.

You're completely crazy.

Do you think he'll get life?

Even if one of his girls

testifies against him...

...he'll be out in less than a year.

And then what will he do?

I know him. He'll put

a bullet between your eyes.

Bring him to my office.

I'll take his statement.

This is abuse of power.

-Empty your pockets.

I knew you were a pimp.

I didn't know you dealt heroin.

You just put it there.

-Look, another one.

That's not for personal use.

But that's not mine. You...

Last week they found...

...a guy with 50 plastic bags in his stomach.

And 10 grams of heroin in each bag.

Do you know what he said?

"That's not mine."

So, listen.

What do you want from me?

I like love stories with a happy end.

So you keep the other girls.

And you let Natasha go.

That way you leave a free man.

I swear, you have to get to know him.

He's a rotten cop.

-His heart's in the right place.

He solved the problem with Franck.

He won't bother us anymore.

Yes, we're lucky because I know him.

It could have ended very badly.

Try your luck. Anyone can win.

Your bets, please.

-Five wins.

You look wonderful.

-Your bet.

Place your bets.

5! I won!

-I bet on the 5.

My friend bet on the 5.

Shut up. He's a cop!

Alright, I had the 6.

-Exactly.

300, 400 and 500.

Pay attention. I bet 200.

-It was a 100.

What? You bet a 100.

-No, 200.

It was 200.

He bet 150.

-Alright.

100 and 150 francs.

Step up.

Come on. Try your luck.

What were you doing?

It took me 20 years to

establish my prices.

You don't make much,

but you make a little bit often.

I don't want any inflation.

Not bad, is it?

Thanks.

200, 300, 400 back from 500.

Thank you.

No, you're wrong.

I gave you 100 francs.

Are you sure?

-I know what I gave you.

What's he going to think?

-We've got beef and carrots after us.

The DCI:
Department of

Criminal Investigation.

The police's police.

-Sh*t.

Why 'beef carrots'?

-When they get you, they let you stew.

We have to be very careful

now, Franois.

Ren, I have a tip for the

fourth race.

I have a tip for the first race.

There are two other cops at the bar.

I can never get you to place a bet.

What a shame.

Hey, Franois.

I have a BMW. Used.

White. A 100 thousand.

Go away.

-Get lost.

Now go.

Excuse me.

-Yes.

The bill, please.

-But, Ren.

Please hurry. We're busy.

I'm going to ask Bloret

for an explanation.

Oh, what would that a**hole know.

You can't see Natasha for a while.

I smelled them.

Are you slowly getting paranoid?

They're really following us.

-Who says they're police?

I can smell them.

It has happened to all of us.

But you have nothing to fear.

You're an honest cop.

Absolutely.

Are you feeling any better?

-I bought your product.

It's not working at all anymore.

-You bought the standard powder.

You need the other one. It's hard

to find. I'll buy you some.

-Did nobody follow you?

-No, I did as you said.

What's wrong then?

-Two DCI cops are following us.

The police's police.

That's great.

Do you think so?

-It's fantastic.

I feel as if I'm with a

big criminal on the run.

Do you need money or a place to hide?

-It's not as bad as that.

So we can spend the night together?

Not right now.

-What shall we do then?

It's pretty quiet here.

Don't you want anything today?

-I'm a vegetarian now.

They're still following us.

-They're like haemorrhoids.

Machine Gun Dd.

Tonight, we'll take them to

Machine Gun Dd's hide-out.

You never know.

Dd, police.

We know you're there.

F***ing cops! I'll kill you!

Man, this Dd.

He hasn't gotten any older.

Shoot me.

Here in my belly fat.

I won't feel a thing.

-Are you crazy?

It's the only way to get rid

of the haemorrhoids.

No, man!

-Show a bit of courage for once.

Do it.

-Sure?

From really close.

Careful with my hand. Go!

Does it hurt, Ren?

Yes, a bit.

Don't move. police!

So are we, idiots.

Well done. Really great.

We almost had him and

then you attack us from behind.
