Mea culpa

---

1

I thought I'd give you a lift.

What happened to you?

A rough night. Tell you later.

You okay?

Yeah, fine.

And the job?

Okay.

And your son...

Got him this weekend?

I don't know.

You're a real chatterbox.

We might take the kids

for the weekend.

I don't know what I'm doing Saturday.

Okay.

I'll quit inviting you.

What's he doing?

Move it!

Where's my coffee?

It's on its way.

About these night hours...

I can't stay.

You'll have to.

The extra is out sick.

- I need all hands.

- And my son?

Do like me, ask your wife.

Is the coffee walking in?

Get off me with your coffee.

Not working nights?

Great. We can team up now.

Hey buddy.

What's that?

Sorry, not mine.

Why are you sorry then?

Pick 'em up.

You deaf or something?

Pick 'em up.

That's a good boy.

Good little security car driver.

Hurry up.

Give.

Get lost.

Get lost, I said.

It rains every day...

Manon, darling.

Auntie says you were a pain.

It's not true. I'm real nice.

You're nice.

So auntie's a liar?

Listen, dear. I miss you too

but three days isn't long.

You know your daddy

really loves you.

I love you too.

Auntie's taking me to a movie.

A movie? Wow!

I have to hang up, honey.

I'll call you back.

- Where are you, daddy?

- At work.

I'll call again.

Be good to auntie.

A big kiss. I love you.

First, explain the dealers

in the parking lot.

Dealer-shootout-arrest...

will that do?

Sure. The court lawyer is suing for

assault and battery. Will that do?

Let him. What can I say?

Another mess like this

and I report you.

Is that clear?

What do we have here?

Marc Cipriani. Criminal record.

No trace of shells.

Scour the area.

See if you can find a witness.

Get to work.

Here we go again.

Damn it!

Forget about your party.

Then I'll run away.

If you do, I'll kill you.

If I leave a message about your son,

you might at least call back.

I was going to.

I managed for tonight

but what will you do tomorrow?

I'll pick him up after judo.

He told you. It's his first match.

You have to be there.

I'll be there.

I hope so.

He's counting on you.

How's it going?

Okay.

It's at 11 o'clock. See you tomorrow.

Wake up.

We make the arrest of the century

and that jerk takes credit.

He's telling it in our place.

- Where you going?

- Home. Alice is waiting.

Stay a while.

So long, guys.

- Coming?

- Be right out.

Go on and party, a**hole.

Let's go.

Sh*t! I forgot Manon's gift.

- Be right back.

- No, wait.

Was he drinking?

He'll be struck off

the police force.

Three dead, including a child.

If he tests positive,

he goes down.

Simon...

Can you hear me?

That is a simple class exercise?

Yep.

Damn...

Was my dad really like you?

What do you mean like you?

A cop.

It's true. Why not?

It doesn't look like it.

I can assure you

he was a great cop.

Did you know

the people he killed?

But you know,

that wasn't his fault.

Then why did he go to jail?

It's not always your fault

when you go to prison.

Did your wife really die

when Manon was born?

Who's the cop, you or me?

Let's cut the questions

and exercise!

I won't do everything either.

Gabriel Hachour, drug dealer.

Same modus operandi

as this morning.

No cartridges but the same guys.

Where were you?

What about her?

His daughter, age 14.

What else do we have?

The guardian heard a shot.

He saw a black car.

We're trying to trace tire tracks.

Look at yourself.

You're just a ghost.

We've been waiting two years

for you.

Right out of prison,

and you want to leave.

What did you expect?

Will this bring them back?

We're alive.

We're alive! We're here!

Fight back.

Say something.

I'm sorry.

He's the one who's sorry.

Are you happy?

I swear, it was terrific.

- Make sure you get him home.

- I know. 8...

Came in first?

No, second.

Second place is good too.

Let's go.

Aqualand would be nice.

We've been there.

You used to love the dolphins.

I was only six then.

Aqualand is for babies.

There's a match Sunday.

We've never done one.

Jean-Marc has a surprise for us.

Who's Jean-Marc?

A friend of mom's.

What's his surprise?

I don't know. It's a surprise.

I hope it's not Aqualand.

See you Saturday.

It's me.

What is it?

You're beautiful.

It's on the table.

Maybe we could

get together for real.

For real?

I mean

go eat.

I don't eat.

It explains your perfect figure.

What about a restaurant?

At the worst, you spend a great night

with a swell guy.

How do you like it?

Nice surprise.

Not for a child.

There are lots of kids.

And colors, music, animals.

Just like the circus.

Where are you going?

To the toilet.

Stay here. Not alone.

You'll miss the execution.

Go to the toilet.

Tell him to wait.

And now?

Should I go?

You have to stand up.

Look at him good.

Are you okay, honey?

Let's go.

We're not finished.

He's seen them all twice.

Wait a second.

We won't find his picture.

These guys killed 5 people.

First, he gets rest.

He's the only witness...

He's my son, he's ten,

and he's going to rest.

First thing in the morning.

Do you know

where those guys come from?

Susini, what are you doing?

What do you do

for their protection?

Get a team together.

I'm the one who decides that.

Now get lost,

and let the police work.

I didn't hear that.

Don't touch me.

F*** off, d*ckhead!

F*** off where?

Close the door.

Get off me too.

I'll take you home.

- No, we'll manage.

- I'll take you home.

I said, no.

Your son needs rest

and not hollering.

So calm down

and with dignity for once.

I want you to rest.

Let's go.

Tho...

come on.

Don't move!

Get down!

Tho, duck!

Tho, run for it!

Run!

Don't move!

We'll get out of here.

Don't worry.

Hide!

Daddy!

Stop it, Simon!

Stop it, for chrissake!

Come on.

You okay?

Where's your son?

We're in the old market.

Are you okay?

Frank, come here.

Find a safe place for the night.

We can't take any risks.

I'll take them to my place.

I want Jacquet with you

all the time.

Jacquet, you watch the witnesses.

I want to see him

as soon as he can talk.

You're not hurt?

He's okay.

Will you sleep with me?

Yes, but not right now.

Daddy's gone?

He's still here.

Don't worry. He'll come to see you.

Good night.

He's waiting for you.

Where's your daughter?

At my sister's in Paris.

She left for a week.

It's your longest separation.

Don't.

What's wrong?

Better you don't stay here.

Okay.

I'll call you.

I'm sorry.

Why would they hurt me?

You saw something

you shouldn't have.

Think they'll come back?

They won't come again.

Get some sleep.

Daddy?

Did you also practice judo?

But a long time ago.

Good night.

- Sure you won't stay here?

- No, I'm going.

Take care of them.

I'm counting on you.

Working nights now?

What do you want?

What the hell are you doing here?

Get in.

I'm coming with you.

We'll take 'em on

like we used to.

Why are you doing all this?

All this what?

Being here for me.

I'm going it alone this time.

What's your game?

You're under arrest.

You won't make it on your own.
