Police Page #7

Synopsis: Mangin, a police inspector in Paris, leans hard on informants to get evidence on three Tunisian brothers who traffic in drugs. He arrests one, Simon, and his girl-friend Noria. Simon's brothers go to their lawyer. He springs Noria, who promptly steals 2 million francs that belong to the Tunisians. They suspect her of the theft; her life as well as the lawyer's is in danger. Meanwhile, Noria is playing with both the lawyer and Mangin's affections. Mangin is mercurial anyway: intimidating and bloodying suspects, falling for a police commission trainee before flipping for Noria, wearing his emotions on his sleeve. Can he save the lawyer and Noria, and can he convince her to love?

No thanks!

Half-pint, the detective exam

must be a cinch for you!

- You have a BA.

- No, a Master's.

Even better!

I'm sick of exams.

Good old LSD!

- Why do you call me LSD?

- Loves Sucking Detectives!

Hilarious!

To think I may miss you!

I'll see if I can find him.

It's personal!

Where are you? Who's "they"?

Be right there.

If someone asks,

you don't know where I am.

Have a nice evening!

They'll try and make him talk.

They're insane. You don't know them!

I don't know them!

Who do they think did it?

My brother and I.

They think we took the money.

What money?

I told you, the money that was stolen

from them. Their mother told me.

How much was there?

I don't know. She didn't say.

I think there was a lot.

- How much is a lot?

- I don't know.

Listen... if you want me to help you,

tell me everything!

Understand? Did you take it?

No, I didn't. I'd tell you.

Just help me to get my brother back!

Help me. They'll torture him.

What do you want me to do?

Run after them waving my gun?

You're all I've got.

Don't let me down.

I'm scared.

Wait.

Come on.

- Calm down, OK?

- Yeah.

- What's he done?

- Attempted B&E.

"That afternoon Maxime told me

on the phone that the bag"

"he gave my brother

contained 2 guns. "

"He then said

that he'd asked my brother"

"to bring down the bag with the guns

so he could recover them. "

"He said he never saw

my brother again. "

Initial and sign. I didn't mention

the money. Complicates things.

I stay here and guard

her brother with that?

That's to scare him.

Cut the crap!

I mean it! You must stay here!

See you later.

Your eye better?

No such luck.

And I had 4 retina operations.

What are you doing in my place?

Waiting for you.

Jean wants to talk to you.

Don't worry. No one's angry.

Noria... it's Aicha.

Everything's fine.

Your brother's here.

Why'd you say that, you dumb b*tch?

You crazy?

No, he's just a bit agitated.

Come over.

Let me talk to him.

I want to hear his voice.

Put him on or you'll be sorry.

Come and get me.

They'll kill me.

Please, Noria. Or they'll kill me!

And you'd better come alone!

Don't bring anyone along.

I'll be there in an hour.

How come they're all at your place?

Did you give them the key,

or did they break in?

- Both.

- How, both?

When I got out of jail

I gave them the key to seem loyal.

Then I had an extra bolt-lock put on.

That lock was smashed,

so I knew it was them.

You screwed all the brothers?

C'mon. One was enough!

- I don't want to hurt Simon.

- Screw Simon!

All I think about is this!

He's in jail.

I was close to him...

I lived with him.

He really loved me.

He's a Muslim.

So what?

You only know how to mistreat them!

I know how they mistreat women.

No worse than we do.

Noria, my love...

I want to sleep beside you...

I had nothing to do with it!

Who are you? Why'd you beat me up?

- You're her brother. You must know!

- I know nothing!

Shut up, a**hole!

Stop talking to him, OK?

We've work to do!

C'mon. A kidnapping!

About time!

- What if they're on the stairs?

- Aicha, can you hear me?

Unless my brother opens the door,

I won't come in.

I want my brother to open it.

Don't do anything dumb.

Come in, we'll have a quiet talk.

That's a quiet talk?

- It wasn't my idea...

- Don't move!

Deal with your brother.

See what they did?

Thanks for leaving me here!

- Whose gun is it?

- Not mine.

- You putting me on?

- I swear it's not mine.

- What's this?

- My savings.

- You've a lot.

- I work. I can prove it's legit.

You do babysitting?

He suspects everyone, even me.

- Did they use electric wires?

- Yeah, 220 volts.

- How's your head?

- Not too bad.

Take him to the hospital.

- What do I do?

- You'll be safer at my home.

Here are the keys...

You know my brother, Momo.

I've seen him at your place.

Hello.

I came to ask you for the bag.

Sorry, I don't understand.

What bag?

Look. Don't tell me you don't

understand. You're Noria's lawyer.

You got Noria out.

You know Noria. You know Mangin!

What's going on?

You come to my home at 3am

for what? What bag?

That doesn't mean a thing.

We didn't come to threaten you.

What is this?

You sit down.

We'll talk and then

you can get on the phone.

What's the matter?

You know Noria stole the bag

with the money and the dope.

I don't know where Noria is,

or the bag! What are you doing?

What's going on? Who's that?

Is that a gun?

I'm a lawyer, not a punk crook.

I've always been honest with you.

Don't shout.

We can shout louder than you.

You used to be a lawyer...

Now you're a liar!

A two-faced shyster!

I don't know what you mean.

He's nuts!

I'm a man of the law.

You can get into big trouble.

He doesn't care,

he's sick in the head.

I'm here to set things straight.

I want no trouble with you or Mangin.

- I'm here to get what I asked for.

- What?

The bag with the money and the dope.

What's wrong? You're not alone?

You come here to bug me or to talk?

Mangin, I'm f***ed.

What happened?

They're like mad dogs. Noria swiped

their bundle and disappeared!

How do you know Noria did it?

They told me. They're sick.

They think I'm in on it with her.

It's unbelievable.

They think, or they know?

It's no time for jokes.

I've got to find her.

She's in great danger.

How much did she take?

They said it was 200 grand.

I'm terrified.

They'll knock her off first chance

they get. I have to find her!

She split with the cash.

They won't find her.

I want to talk to her, face-to-face.

Because if I get knocked off,

I want to know why!

They won't hurt you.

They're just trying to scare you.

I've got fifty of them on my ass!

I'm trying to cool 'em down.

But when they see

I can't do anything,

you think they'll be gentle?

You're joking!

I'll tell you, if they come,

I won't be pushed around.

I've got a gun. I'll blast 'em!

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Now you know!

It was a gift.

They gave it to me!

You're crazy!

Why did you accept it?

You shouldn't have accepted it.

Sorry, they just grabbed me

at my place. I'm hardly dressed.

I feel safer here...

I wanted to talk to you.

They shoot cops, too!

You know how to shoot back.

Sure I do!

I've never shot at anyone.

Why don't you go see Ren?

Are you joking?

That's sticking my head

in the lion's mouth.

They're mad at me.

I couldn't get Simon out on bail.

Nothing's working... I'm f***ed.

You'd be better off...

I did a dumb thing... I never

should've screwed that girl.

She's a b*tch...

I shouldn't have screwed that b*tch.

She screws anyone

and she's a born liar.

What are you doing?

You've gone nuts...

Let me tell you something...

Listen to me...

You're nuts!

Shut up!

Shut your mouth and shut the door!

Did Simon tell you

where the dough was?

No one knew...

Not Aicha, not their mother.

Their mother...

Simon's no fool.

He knew you'd swipe the dough.

Stop talking to me like a cop!

Did you take it or not?

Does it matter now?

Nothing matters to you!

Catherine Breillat

Catherine Breillat (French; born 13 July 1948) is a French filmmaker, novelist and professor of auteur cinema at the European Graduate School. In the film business for over 40 years, Catherine Breillat chooses to normalize previously taboo subjects in cinema. Taking advantage of the medium of cinema, Breillat juxtaposes different perspectives to highlight irony found in society. Through film, she attempts to redefine the female narrative in cinema by showing female characters who undergo similar experiences as their male counterparts. Many of Breillat's films explore the transition between girlhood and adulthood. The females of her films attempt to escape their adolescence by seeking individuality. There is an unsaid silence in society for girls to hide their sexuality and desires unless directly confronted about them. Breillat offers a platform to discuss female pleasure and sexual responsibility by exposing social and sexual conflicts in her films' themes. more…
