Let me get a word in!
You'll have your say
when you're an officer.
That's pathetic.
Like it or lump it.
Have you any idea...
Have you any idea
how ridiculous that is? No offense.
but pulling rank
when I'm merely expressing an opinion...
Know what? You're a good talker.
You've got the gift of the gab,
the right words,
but your arguments just suck.
You're the one
with the killer argument...
This is what happens
when it's not about sex. He's bored.
You're ostracizing me just...
Don't understand!
He doesn't understand "ostracize."
You're isolating me.
Say "sideline" not "ostracize"!
I'm his translator.
I'm sorry,
you all have your own identity,
you're all different,
you respect each other's identity.
I don't see why the way I talk
stops you respecting me.
- Talk normal!
- Talk normally?
Yo, blow me right here. C'mon, man!
We gonna get us laid!
Check out that clit sh*t!
Fine, but it gets on my nerves.
Hold on, I haven't finished.
Know what?
Peas first, booze after.
I hate that. Cut it out.
- Slow down then.
- I hate it.
I'm a big girl now.
Maybe it's just a rumor
and I understand your reaction,
but you drink a lot, don't you?
Every day, like 50 million people
in France. What's the problem?
Everybody gets on my case,
Good one, guys!
- Potentially, it's alcoholism.
- So I'm an alcoholic?
If I'm an alcoholic, what's Fred?
Very cute.
I knew she'd cook something up.
What do you mean?
Her mother.
She wants to stop me seeing my daughter.
She's my daughter.
You want me to confess
so you can go party?
We get no confession bonus.
We just do our job. Protecting your
daughter if you hurt her.
She's 4!
Aged 4, you don't make up stuff
about Daddy scratching your bottom.
What about bathtime?
How does it work?
How do you Wash her?
I wash her with a washcloth and soap.
And her vagina? How do you do that, sir?
Yes, I use the cloth on her vagina.
You get a kick out of it?
No, I don't get a kick out of it!
We can't hold you any longer.
But the judges appreciate a confession.
Do you have anything to add?
No.
I have nothing to add.
I don't molest my daughter.
He's playing you. He can't admit he got
sexual pleasure from his daughter.
All I can say is,
he's not the usual prototype.
Prototype?
Stereotype!
Same difference.
Alright, he's not your stereotypical...
Yeah, he's a tall guy,
a cuddly bear type of guy.
I don't know. He's not an ugly,
nasty-looking kinda guy...
Yeah, he seems really...
- Wholesome.
- Okay.
But we'll run psychiatric tests
before we let him go.
Of course.
Was it her idea?
No, it was commissioned.
I saw the salesman
and asked him about the painting.
He starts
by saying his wife painted it.
She does photo-reportage,
documentary stuff. Really good photos.
So the guy gives him the same spiel,
while I step outside
and he says, 18,500 euros.
He must've been very rich.
I forgot something very important.
Just a second,
I have a gift for you.
For me?
Some people are so spoiled.
It's not much, but I like it.
Thank you.
This is very embarrassing.
Turn it so I can see.
That's Place...
It's very phallic!
She's leaving!
I really like it a lot. Really.
Thank your husband again.
I'm impressed,
so successful, so young.
You grew up in Paris?
Yes.
Which neighborhood?
Belleville.
I'll put you with CPU North.
Home ground.
- Morning, everybody.
- Morning, chief.
This is...
Don't be shy.
This is Melissa Zaia,
who'll be with you for a few months
to take photos for a book
commissioned by the Ministry.
I'm relying on you
to help her feel at home
and get some great pictures.
Don't worry,
you can veto specific shots.
Have a good day!
Goodbye, chief.
Hello.
- Your chair, Bamako.
- Sorry.
Iris.
Gabriel. Hi.
Fred.
- Croissant?
- No, thanks.
- Pain au chocolat?
- Maybe she's on a diet.
I only eat organic.
I can get organic croissants.
I won't throw you in
on a rape or pedophile case.
We'll ease you into it
with a Romanian pickpocket.
You speak Romanian?
What are the marks on your hands?
A cigarette?
Is that one day or several days?
Several days.
Either you tell us
who's exploiting you
and we protect you,
with a home and education...
Or you say nothing,
go back to pickpocketing
and in a year
they'll pimp you out on the streets.
This isn't a game.
It's downhill from now on, understand?
Forget the pickpocket stuff.
She says it's her uncle.
Great.
What's your uncle called?
Mr. Caganescu.
And the prostitutes?
Who runs the prostitutes?
Is that your uncle?
Yes, it's her uncle.
Who's that?
Uncle.
- That's Caganescu?
- Watch out.
What's in those two caravans there?
Children also.
Two caravans for the children?
Yes. Ten and ten.
Ten kids in each caravan?
You're gonna eat all that?
Delicious!
You're so lucky.
I look at a pastry, I put on 30 kilos.
Sure, but I run, kiddo.
An ass like mine takes effort.
We get 3 hours at lunch.
Don't waste it shopping,
go to a gym, work out, healthy stuff.
Cut out the romantic daydreaming.
Love and other bullshit.
Anyway, how do you feel?
Like a 40-year old cheated wife
about to get a divorce.
Keep your cool in court.
Make sure they know it hurt, see?
You copped a lot of sh*t,
but you're not gonna trash-talk.
They have to feel your pain
so you get custody.
Act the victim.
That's what you are. A victim.
Yeah.
By mutual agreement,
Mrs. Del takes the children on weekends,
and Mr. Del will have custody
on a daily basis,
due to Mrs. Del's profession.
Will you be using
your married name or maiden name?
Keeping your married name
is perfectly feasible.
It's up to you.
Okay, I'll keep it.
Fine. The married name.
You have a month
to appeal this decision.
If there are any divergences,
you can...
Cut it out!
Police. Can I see some ID, please?
Why?
I'm taking you in for questioning.
Now, let me see some ID.
Hey there.
Out with Mommy?
Yes.
My name's Iris, what's yours?
Antoine.
Poor thing!
He won't stop crying.
I'm sick of it.
- Yes.
You do it often?
Sure.
How old are you?
Three and a half.
No school today?
- He doesn't go.
- No?
You had an afternoon snack?
- Yes, he's eaten.
- What did you have?
A sandwich.
That's an afternoon snack?
Forget the judge.
Take the children when you want.
I can lend you some money.
I'm fine, thanks.
All done.
And?
Super.
I got custody.
He was pathetic, seriously.
- And money?
- All I need.
Fantastic.
- Meaning?
- 1,000 euros.
- Great!
- Yeah, I'm so pleased.
Why are you crying?
I'm not crying.
It's dumb, it'll pass.
Honestly, I feel fabulous.
- You had to do it.
- What a fool!
It's for the sake of crying.
All done, I've stopped.
Great, it's a good thing done.
Yeah, it's a relief, in fact.
It was over so fast.
What?
The moment?
The moment when you make the break.
Were you emotional?
