Polisse Page #5

Synopsis: The daily grind for the cops of the Police Department's Juvenile Protection Unit - taking in child molesters, busting underage pickpockets and chewing over relationship issues at lunch; interrogating abusive parents, taking statements from children, confronting the excesses of teen sexuality, enjoying solidarity with colleagues and laughing uncontrollably at the most unthinkable moments. Knowing the worst exists and living with it. How do these cops balance their private lives and the reality they confront every working day? Fred, the group's hypersensitive wild card, is going to have a hard time facing the scrutiny of Melissa, a photographer on a Ministry of the Interior assignment to document the unit.

When it's gritty or miserablist,

she's there.

She's finding her feet.

I don't give a sh*t!

I get what he's saying

about miserablism,

not wanting to put out

a bad image of the CPU.

It's just we're eating, on-edge.

- Your choice of words is all wrong.

- You done?

Say it nicely.

We know you're angling

to get some p*ssy time.

So whatever you say doesn't count.

You're ripping on me now?

What's going on?

What?

What's going on? Nothing.

- Nothing.

- No, why?

We eat and get back on it.

Sorry, but pictures of kids...

It's 11 o'clock, home time!

It's dark. We won't find them now.

You're clock-watching now?

We've been at it all day,

sweating blood!

I know, Fred.

Just do as I say, don't argue.

There's a baby out there!

$0?

The night team'll take over. He won't be all alone.

Go home.

What will they do if he dies?

I said, go home!

Night, everybody.

See you tomorrow.

We'll find him tomorrow!

Maybe she's dyed her hair

so nobody recognizes her.

Bullshit!

This isn't a western.

Is pear nice?

Sure, it's nice.

How much is it?

Will you give it to me?

I can't, lady.

Is that her?

It's a guy on rollerblades!

Chrys, slow down.

Take it easy.

That's why I said slow down.

I said slow down, so slow down.

You can spare something.

He's hungry!

- You have to pay!

- He's hungry!

Baloo to Fred.

Mother and baby

reported at a convenience store

at 19, Rue de Meaux.

- Go, pops!

- Good news at last!

- Copy, Fred?

- I copy.

Get out the way!

Where have you been?

- We're here now!

- We've been waiting 30 mins!

Calm down, we just got here.

It's only been 20 minutes!

Hi. Child Protection Unit.

He's critical.

We gotta get the baby to the hospital.

- It's been half an hour.

- We came as fast...

You expect an invitation or what?

- We do the best we can.

- So do we!

We came straight here.

We've been called to a bank heist.

We're not Child Protection,

with all due respect.

Can we take the details

because the mother isn't...

It wasn't me!

He made me drop my baby!

She threw him.

She threw her baby?

The doc says the baby's life

is in serious danger.

They're taking him to Necker.

Bring the buggy! That's my buggy!

Can We go with you and the baby?

Where's my baby?

At the hospital.

We'll get more news later.

It's hard having the baby.

Having the baby? Having a baby?

It wasn't easy having the baby.

Why's she telling me this?

Keep moving.

You're going to sit in there.

Give me a cigarette.

Not right now.

Give me a cigarette.

You're nice, I like you.

Give me a smoke.

Can I get a smoke?

Just sit there nice and quiet.

Let's get the cuffs off.

Sit down there.

Yeah, sure.

Sit down, relax, we'll be back.

We'll have a talk when you calm down.

I'm thirsty.

There's nothing to drink right now.

Police. Handcuffs. Prison.

That's life.

If there's a child, the officers

can't intervene at the scene.

They have to wait until We get there.

That's why there's always

some tension between us.

You called the hospital?

Of course, I called the hospital.

How old's the baby?

There's nothing happening.

Thanks.

Child Protection.

You're getting on?

And you?

I don't understand this person.

The baby's out of danger.

Let's celebrate.

What's going on?

The baby's out of the coma.

Great!

Champagne!

Do you wanna dance or not?

You don't wanna dance?

Give me a break,

I haven't been drinking.

Sister, dance with me.

What's with the glasses?

They're just glasses.

Can I?

Keep in time, ma'am.

They're fakes. They're a prop.

I was scared

nobody'd take me seriously.

You think the glasses and granny look

make people take you seriously?

I don't know.

Okay, I get it.

Let your hair down.

You want me to let my hair down?

Enough of the granny look!

Can you dim the lights?

- Why?

- I don't like that.

Don't like what?

You seeing me.

I want to see you.

You can see me afterwards

No, I want to see you.

Take 2.

I have stretch marks all over.

Me too.

It's my feminine side.

Show me.

There!

Those aren't stretch marks.

They are. Male stretch marks.

Are we taking off the pants or not?

I've got silly panties.

We'll see. Let's take a look.

Yep, you were right.

Actually, they're cute.

Okay, cut out

the pre-teen stuff a second.

Stretch marks!

We've seen them all.

- There's stacks.

- No, missed one.

For your choice of panties,

respect.

- You realize what that means?

- What?

Take 96.

If you get undressed,

I'll take my watch off.

- Aren't they beautiful?

- Total babes!

It's a fashion show.

Except they're not models.

Be nice.

Give 'em a breath test!

You never know!

Keep everyone safe.

I warned you!

- Any questions?

- No, sir!

Ready?

Eye and ear protection on.

Draw your weapon. Chamber.

In position. One round.

Switch legs. Other foot forward.

One round.

Mathieu.

Wake up.

- It's our turn.

- Get lost!

- How do you feel?

- Okay, I guess.

Try breathing.

Ready to go?

Can't say I'm a fan, but let's try.

Draw your gun. Chamber.

Get into position.

Three rounds.

It's a peach kir royal.

I like it sweet.

Feeling okay?

Sorry I'm late.

Hey.

You buy organic croissants?

Shut it.

Not one hit!

A complete disaster!

I'm peace and love.

Next group to the range.

Let's go.

Gonna get some pics?

Can her ladyship stop jigging around?

Sorry.

Rack the slide.

Chamber a round.

Two hands, knees bent, feet parallel.

Decock.

All together.

Two rounds!

Decock.

Wanna try?

Do you want to try?

Can she try?

Shooting?

No, catching a bus.

Careful of the gun. Take her camera.

Snap away, Fred.

Let's make it easier for the lady.

On my whistle,

you fire two rounds.

Careful, finger's on the trigger.

Stay focused,

this is a firing range.

Arms outstretched, elbows in.

When I whistle,

you fire two rounds.

- It doesn't work.

- Press!

Deep breaths.

You'll be fine.

Take deep breaths.

Second round.

Let's go.

What about the whistle?

A quick whistle?

To relax you?

There you go.

Relax. Let go.

Breathe out.

Let go of the gun.

Take your fingers off. Relax.

You can do it. There you go.

Evening.

My children.

And my children's father.

Evening, ladies.

- Lucie and Bianca.

- How old are they?

- You ordered some food?

- Yeah, pizza.

She called Pizza Hut.

Pizza Hut.

Ever had truffle pizza?

Good?

Thanks, Francesco.

It tastes a bit like marzipan.

How's Melissa doing?

She's so sweet.

Sweet Melissa!

I know the boss man well.

Beauchard.

- The chief?

- He's a friend of mine.

A friend?

Not a friend.

We know each other well.

So you both live here then, right?

Tactless, apparently.

We said no personal questions.

It isn't his apartment.

- I live opposite.

- Not bad!

You've never lived together?

You're a couple?

Even with kids?

We're a couple?

Are you a couple?

It's strange us being on call

on a holiday, isn't it?

Why's it strange?

I thought the night team

was on call on public holidays.

They are. At night.

It's not easy to get your head around.

The night team Works nights.
