Polisse Page #6

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.

In the daytime, they rest up

and the day team takes over.

Is it clear now?

Sure.

Night at night.

Hi, everybody!

This lady is having a few problems.

I'll let her explain.

Hello, ma'am.

Take a seat.

Get the kid a chair.

Sit down next to Mommy.

Go ahead, ma'am.

I have to give you my son.

I have no place where we slept.

I don't want him

to sleep in street with me.

I want him in warm place.

You want him...

- Warm.

- Somewhere warm, okay.

He must sleep in bed.

Of course.

I don't want him be like me.

You see?

Sure, I understand.

- You have nowhere to sleep.

- Yes.

Let's see. Are you married?

I'm on my own.

You're both on the street?

Yes.

- How long on the street?

- Six months.

Sleeping hostesses.

Hotels and hostesses.

Hostesses?

In hospices!

No more.

Sleeping under tents.

Sleep in tents. I not...

Yes, I understand.

It's hard for you and your son.

How long

since you had somewhere to wash?

Since we had... hotels...

Kicked out.

Kicked out of a hotel?

Because no money.

I'm tired and it's cold.

What's your name?

Ousman.

I must be away from my son.

I give you my son.

He wants to stay with his mommy.

Yes, but no more.

We'll find a nice place for both of you.

Somewhere warm to sleep.

You understand?

Yes, I look in all hospices.

Many people, nothing.

They say no room.

But we know more hospices.

We'll call other shelters.

Have you had anything to eat, ma'am?

No.

Hungry, Ousman?

Are you hungry?

Not hungry. Because he tired.

When you struggle, you not eat.

That's right.

We'll call all over.

To try to find somewhere warm

for you and your son.

If you no find, I give you my son.

I can't take your son, you understand?

I don't want him become like me.

I'll get them some food.

Come with us.

See you later.

Leave it with us.

Okay, action.

Not before next week?

She said to call back.

I have 2 that'll take the kid.

The kid but not his mother.

You gotta talk to Beauchard.

No, not Beauchard.

So we just sit here

flapping away helplessly.

You're a pain in the ass!

You're useless, f*** it!

Don't let Fred go on up there.

Hey, pops!

Why didn't you 90?

The guy makes me puke.

He hasn't got any balls.

He'll never take a stand.

F*** taking a stand,

show us you've got balls!

- Me?

' Yes, you!

- Show I've got balls?

- You're the boss. It's your job.

Calm down, we're not alone here.

The young man's totally bemused.

You can't let Fred take the heat.

It's outrageous!

Don't tell me my job!

Shut up a second. No more!

Women's Lib, can it!

Women's Lib?

Stick it up your ass.

A woman speaks out and she's a radical.

F*** you!

And your grow-a-pair crap?

Mr. Coutard, you keep bothering me

but I can't intervene in every case.

One phone call is all you need to make.

You're taking this too personally.

Down, Fido!

- Just put the child in a home.

- Pardon me?

My last word.

That's it, your last word?

Stop it, Fred.

Calm down!

Calm down? Sure.

You know it's pointless.

You keep calm, guys!

That earns you a warning.

It won't be the first.

Pops, let's talk.

Please, give them to me 3 days.

I'll find them a hospice.

No, don't do that.

Please.

You can't do that.

Why don't you?

Why don't you take them?

You or me, it's the same.

You know that's not the problem.

It's not the same.

Don't make it so personal.

Is he your kid? No, so stop.

Okay, ma'am...

For now,

we don't have a satisfactory solution.

We're not at all satisfied with this.

We've found a hospice for your son,

but not for you together.

I knew you not find for both.

It's the best we have.

It'll be okay.

Come on, it's okay.

We'll take good care of him, ma'am.

Ousman! Calm down, kiddo.

Mommy loves you.

She's not abandoning you.

She has no choice.

We'll look after you, son.

Calm down.

It'll be okay.

Mommy has no choice.

She wants to be with you, too,

but she can't.

There'll be other little boys like you.

You won't be alone.

There'll be other kids who are sad.

There'll be kids you can talk to.

You won't be all alone.

Can you hear me?

It's over now.

It'll be okay.

It's over, calm down.

You okay?

Feeling better now?

C'mon, dry your eyes.

You'll make lots of friends.

It's just hard to begin with.

It's tough,

but it won't last long, okay?

Your mommy loves you.

You're a big, strong boy.

She wants you to be strong.

You remember?

You have to try every day.

You hear me?

- I'll drive you home.

- No, thanks.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

What are you doing? Staying?

See you tomorrow.

You try to handle it case-by-case.

But no.

It won't help change the world

or anything.

But it sticks in my throat,

it tears me up.

I can't do it!

I have great news.

- We're all going on vacation.

- Cool!

Are you pleased?

And you?

- Are you angry?

- No.

Go to your room.

Your room.

Okay, come on.

What's wrong?

I can't just go on vacation.

I've got photos to do.

You've got someone?

I don't know.

Great.

I'm happy for you.

Happy?

Really.

I know I can't give you

the life you want.

It's my problem.

Okay, fine.

You're happy, I'm happy. Wonderful!

Let's talk

when you stop pretending.

Wait a second...

Alright, you can come now.

What is this?

Just drive.

Keep your head still.

Expressionless, please.

Right, strip search.

Please, Chrystelle.

Put those on the chair there.

Okay, you can get dressed now.

- You believe your daughter?

- Yes.

I know what my husband's like.

It's exactly his style.

His style? What do you mean?

You're referring

to what your daughter told you?

Yes.

Can you be more specific?

It's embarrassing.

We won't find it vulgar or disgusting.

We could be talking

about cooking or clothes.

What does he like? What turns him on?

Toys?

I'm sorry.

Garters and stockings?

G-strings?

Latex? Fabrics?

Leather?

Different positions?

Fellatio? Exhibitionism?

I don't know, lingerie?

That's right, lingerie.

Don't agree for our benefit.

Anything more...

I don't mean deviant,

but that shocked you maybe?

You have an active sex-life?

That's personal.

Here, We discuss personal matters.

We're not strangers on a train.

So, an active sex-life?

Great movie,

Strangers on a Train.

Seen it? No, you're too young.

You think we're stupid?

Not at all.

We need to know, ma'am.

Your husband allegedly raped

your daughter. In terms of his fantasies,

I need more detail

than just "lingerie."

He'd blindfold himself.

Okay.

- He blindfolded himself?

- Why?

Can you guess what he was imagining?

We'll get you a glass of water.

We'll talk when you feel better.

A bald pubis, like a little girl's.

That turns me on.

You know you're on camera?

So what?

You were saying,

about little girls...

We need help

with a screwed-up reverse Oedipus.

A screwed-up reverse Oedipus!

And your fantasies?

Sorry.

What do you imagine?

That I'm making love to my daughter.

Shocked?

Yes, We are.

What do you imagine?

We're not in your chair.

We ask the questions.

Do you have an active sex-life?
