Nice of you to visit.

Pastor sent me.

I have better things to do

than keep you company.

Is he awake?

And what with your pal gave him

he'll be sleeping a while.

I have time to buy you coffee.

We're up for a coffee.

- You're on duty till when?

- 6:
00.

I hate nights.

Make mine a short coffee.

- It's no good.

- It rarely is.

See this bubble?

When it reaches your brain,

you're done for.

Understand?

Watch out.

You hit the "soup" button.

Coffee makes me edgy at night.

Why are you and your friends here?

Why did you come here?

We came to do business.

What kind?

Heroine and girls.

And my son?

Still in danger?

He saw us. Milan never takes risks.

Where can I find Milan?

I don't know.

Where can I find Milan?

I don't know.

Stop!

They meet tonight in a club.

Which club?

The Why Not.

I mean it, I'm not lying.

Wait...

Milan will realize

that I talked.

Protect me or I'm dead.

You're dead.

To your health.

Here, I doubt it.

Health...

Sure, hospital... health...

That was a good one.

- I knew you'd like it.

- Funny cop.

It's my cell.

I'm so sorry.

It's scalding hot.

Sure, it is.

You should take it off.

Look, it's all red.

Don't spread it.

Now you burned me.

- I'll pay for the cleaning.

- Even a shirt.

I wouldn't go so far.

- Sure, it's a nice shirt.

- A nice make over.

What's this club?

It's also a brothel.

Is that them?

Looks like them.

Stay in the car.

Why is it always me?

Because I'm your big brother.

- I'm coming along tonight.

- No.

I have a bullet-proof vest.

F*** you.

You stupid turd.

Come with me.

Stay here and watch the door.

Okay.

Sit down.

Can't you serve drinks?

I'm busy with the gentleman. Later.

I'm not available.

Sh*t, they're cops.

I know that guy.

Are they yours?

Take a look.

Move it!

I'm okay.

Go ahead.

Drop your gun!

Drop your gun.

Shut up and drop it.

Drop it!

Drop your gun!

Let's get outta here.

My brother.

Pastor's no genius,

but he'll make the connections.

You have to lie low.

We have to find them.

Not with Pastor on your back.

Alice and Tho have to leave town.

And the jerk at your place?

I forgot about Jacquet.

I said, go easy.

You're crazy.

It's the right thing to do.

My sister can take you in,

you have to leave.

You have to leave now.

Trust me.

Why don't you come with us?

Because I am.

I won't leave you alone.

We've been alone for years.

I'll get Tho ready.

Why kill the kid now?

Everybody's seen us.

Screw the kid.

It's them I want.

I brought you

but I won't be involved.

Get rid of her.

Thanks.

Be right back.

Where you going?

To get a bite to eat.

This is Simon's voice-mail...

Can you call that TGV?

Can you call the train?

With the tunnels,

not before 10 minutes.

- The next stop?

- Aix.

You let them beat you up?

Where are they now?

At his sister's.

You know the sister?

You don't?

No network available

I got you a coffee.

What's this mess at the Why Not?

There are more important things.

Listen.

Get your ass down here now...

You listen!

Send a team to block the TGV Aix...

- No, you listen.

- Shut up!

Simon's family is on board

along with the killers.

For once in your life,

do your job, a**hole.

What?

Look downstairs,

we'll look up here.

You all right, mister?

Get out, please.

Tickets, please.

Sorry, no tickets.

That will be two fines.

2 adults, plus 58 euros per person.

For a total of 286 euros.

You're lucky

I put you in second class.

Simon, they're on the train.

Get down.

What's that?

Come on.

Get him out!

Go!

Upstairs!

Get down.

Our train has stopped on the tracks.

Please don't open the doors.

Come on,

climb over.

Come out.

Downstairs!

It's open, follow me.

Get out!

Thierry?

Run, Tho!

Mommy!

You okay, Simon?

Look at me. You okay?

Alice and Tho, run for it.

Let go!

Everything's all right.

Let go!

What are you doing?

If you don't let go, you'll die too.

What the f*** are you doing?

You'll get us both killed.

You're gonna die!

It will be all right.

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Sh*t, I forgot Manon's gift.

- Be right back.

- No, wait.

I thought you were dead.

I'm sorry.

Frank Vasseur

has joined the long list

of officers killed on duty.

Men like you and me.

We choose to serve and protect

without worrying about the risks.

We don't become policemen by chance

but by conviction.

Today we honor the man,

the colleague

and most of all the friend.

Those who knew him

will tell his daughter

about the policeman of valor,

the man of conviction,

and most of all the model father.

Goodbye, Frank.
