Polisse Page #7

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.

Who with?

Your wife perhaps.

Hold on...

I already asked.

I answered that already. Normal.

That doesn't fit.

Your wife says

you haven't touched her in years.

Maybe I was being optimistic.

To spare her feelings.

This isn't a sex therapy session.

Sodomy?

Not particularly.

Is that, yes he likes it or not?

No, that's not what I meant.

Let me explain.

We're not judging you.

We want the truth.

We don't care which way you like it.

We just want

to get a picture of your husband.

These questions aren't about you,

they're about him.

To find out what he maybe did

to your daughter. Get that?

We don't judge, We don't care.

Sodomy?

Yes.

Every time?

Did he threaten you?

Yeah.

Yeah or yes?

Yes.

I don't rape her,

I make love to her.

She gives herself to me.

Young children

have a right to sexual liberty.

Quit acting like we're idiots!

You're getting 20!

I doubt that.

What are you saying, "I doubt that"?

- I just know.

- You know sh*t!

- I take liberties, too.

- That'll cost you dear.

- Pardon me?

- It'll cost you dear.

Sit your ass down.

Right now!

Mathieu, please.

Let's calm things down.

- What?

- You hit me.

Nobody saw a thing.

The camera neither.

The camera sees what it wants here.

Fine.

What do you mean by "I doubt that"?

You doubt you'll get 20 years?

Yes?

Okay.

I have connections.

Fine, sir.

I got a call.

Go easy on La Faublaise.

Sorry?

Just treat him good.

Say something!

I treat him like a child rapist.

Do as I say.

- I do my job.

- Do as I say!

- He's right.

- You read the statements?

You're right, too.

Just take it down a notch.

He's right, I'm right...

Don't worry about it.

I worry about winding up like you.

You realize at no stage

you express any remorse?

Anyone home?

Go to the Internet section.

No, I...

The Internet section.

What's he on?

A run'll do you good.

You're shitting me?

No.

You're shitting me.

It's still my case?

No.

Wait for me.

I wanna see my daughter. I'll call you.

Mommy always gets in the bath with me.

Mommy, sure.

For daddies, it's different.

Here, wash yourself with soap.

Ready?

Then the back.

Your botty. Rub rub.

Between your legs.

Your bits. Your girly bits.

That's good.

Careful you don't slip. Rub rub.

You promise you won't leave again?

I'll try, sure.

If you give me a hug.

Come eat, Fred.

C'mon...

Disconnect.

Come eat.

Again! Again!

Go on, push!

And again.

Hold your breath and push!

Can I stop?

That's good.

Hold your breath and push even harder.

Stop pushing.

That's good.

It's over know, sweetie.

Can I see it?

- What is it?

- A little girl.

We'll just finish up

by removing the placenta.

Go!

Please!

Go!

Please, ma'am, we're nearly done.

Can I have...

Can I be alone with the...

With the baby?

You want to see her?

Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- I'll put her here.

I want to hold her.

You'll be okay?

Can you go out?

I'm sorry.

Can We have the baby?

Goodbye.

Where are you taking her?

A room down the hall.

In a cold room to run some tests.

We'll do DNA tests

to help find the man who raped you.

She'll stay in the cold room after?

A day or two at most.

And then she'll be put in a...

In a grave?

Yes, she'll be buried.

With other babies.

Okay.

In the same thing as other babies?

She won't have a...

A thing of her own?

We take photos to keep in the file.

The police officers want to see you.

They have a few questions for you.

Can't it wait?

No, it can't.

We have to take the baby

and it needs a name.

By law, the baby must have a name.

For the registry. To declare the death.

I don't want to...

have to think of a name.

It's important for you to...

give her a name.

It's a way for you to find closure.

It'll stay with me forever.

This baby is half of you.

She's your blood.

You have to name her.

My rapist's blood, too. I can't.

A name you don't like then.

I was raped. It'll never...

I'm tired.

I'd like to be left alone.

I want you to leave.

You'll have to give her a name.

Go ahead.

Iris.

Iris, what's wrong with you?

See you, Laurence.

See you soon.

I hope I can do it.

One...

Two...

Three!

Cut it out.

Save that sh*t for Sue Ellen!

To Nadine!

Come on!

- Sue Ellen, with me.

- Sure.

No way!

A total brush off!

I don't get it.

How come we're not groovin'

on my birthday?

Don't you realize?

Why do you do it?

He said he'd block my access.

Don't you see?

One tiny threat and you strip off.

You did!

Send your number

and I'll send sexy photos you'll love.

If you want to see more,

leave me a message.

You know what I think?

I think you're a nympho

who likes banging 4 guys in a garage.

Reading your blog,

you come across

as a 14-year-old whore!

He hit you outside?

That's right.

He hit you outside... I see.

What did your parents say

when you got home?

I said I fell and they bought it.

So, you lie to them when needs be.

And in this instance...

you needed to.

It's all about dignity.

Your dignity.

You understand what the word means?

You understand the difference...

between what you can do and...

Do you?

You have just seen your first "rave".

It's neither rape nor love.

It's a rave.

We also have rarests. Rustody.

- Victims...

- I think I get the picture.

It's not that complicated,

putting an R in front.

The boy's a genius!

Back in the day,

you waited for marriage,

had sex when you were 20,

but life's changed now.

The old days are gone,

Louis XIV and all!

Life is this now.

Aged 14,

you f***, you suck, you live!

Watch some TV,

try to get with it, get an update.

Why did Beauchard start yelling?

He says we're idealists.

Hi there!

You just walk on by.

Hi, Melissa.

I'll be getting back.

I gotta go,

You have 5?

I gotta get home.

Not even 5 minutes?

I have to go, Fred.

You don't have 5 minutes?

Still no wedding band?

- No, why?

- Come on then.

Okay, a treat for the lady.

Here We go!

Stop giggling.

Jeez...

Happiness really suits you.

Sh*t's gonna hit the fan again.

Pack and go!

It's for lawyers now.

- Can't we talk?

- Lawyers.

You think it's easy?

Lawyers.

For the kid, you'll say...

Lawyers.

You and your daughter get on?

Fine. She's a good girl.

The question is,

do you get on with your daughter?

Do you have a good relationship?

Are you close?

If she had problems,

could she talk to you freely?

Of course.

No problem.

You know you're here for child abuse?

Off the record,

she said you plan to marry her off

to a cousin back home.

That's right. I'm her dad.

She has to marry one day.

You think you do what you want?

I'm in charge.

You did your research

before you came in.

That's in no law.

Know what's gonna happen?

After your girl's married

and been raped by her husband.

Because it's rape.

You force her into non-consensual sex.

And I'll be there that day.

What's your problem?

I say if there's a problem.

This is the police.

I refuse to talk to you.

- There's only me.

- Get the boss.
