Ripoux contre ripoux Page #2

So do you, Ren.

-But he wants to make her decent.

You never thought of that.

-Time made sure of that.

Thank you.

No, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Simone, these young people...

All this effort to educate them...

Franois was a hard case.

I often almost gave up.

But I was patient.

-Yes.

And now he wants to be a chief.

You'll find a new one,

who's more grateful.

I placed all my bets on Franois.

He was my last one.

Going after the girls

won't make you a chief.

There are no miracles.

You have to work hard.

Get your book out. Get it out.

Study.

Becoming a chief is harder

than becoming a pimp.

Mugging in the Rue Norvin.

Assailant wears a blue jacket.

Running towards the Rue Gabriel.

Let's get him. Go!

What are you doing?

-Time for the new generation.

You're right.

You're over the hill.

And you want to be a chief.

-Give it here.

You have a lot to learn.

-Give it.

Where do you want to go?

-That way.

Will the chief please

follow me?

Our assailant from the Rue Gabriel

will take the stairs in the Rue Drevet.

Wouldn't you do that?

-Yes.

At the bottom of the stairs...

...he runs down the Rue Vieuville.

There's a guard post there.

He goes into the Rue des Martyrs.

There's always a police car there.

Ah yes.

He tries the Rue Yvonne Letac...

...but there, school's just out.

He ends up on the Place des Abbesses,

which is crowded.

So what does he do?

-He keeps going?

He runs like a hare

into the building site.

He runs through the trees.

Jumps on the roof of

the restaurant kitchen.

And there he is.

Get lost.

-No way.

Let him go.

-No!

Get lost.

-We caught him red-handed.

I caught him.

I do what I want with him. Go!

Can I?

-Go.

There.

Fifty-fifty, as always.

-Thanks.

Where are you going?

I'll return my share

to the owner.

Are you crazy?

-No, just honest.

Here, chief.

It's easy being honest.

-You leave me no choice.

If you return your share,

I can't keep mine, can I?

Come on.

-No, I have better things to do.

Hello. Inspector Lesbuche.

We found the thief.

Already?

-Unfortunately, he escaped.

But before he did, we got

what he stole.

It's all there.

Do I have to sign something?

If we start that,

we'll never finish.

The money would be stored

for a year and then...

...not everybody's like me.

But if you want...

-No, that's alright. Thanks.

I'm just doing my job.

Goodbye, madam.

You knew the woman.

-You weren't born yet.

Tell me about your past.

I only remember winning at the races.

I forget everything.

You're really a big prude,

aren't you?

Oh! I won the double.

I'm going to cash in big time.

That's a nice surprise.

This will be a happy memory.

Let's drink to it, Franois.

Yes, yes, yes.

The same, please.

We've got somebody who

looks like your thief.

Yes, that's him. It's him.

Do you believe in God?

Yes... definitely.

And you?

Often.

Especially between 2 and 4 in the morning.

Still sleeping problems?

-Yes.

It gives me time to think about God.

-And does he exist?

I used to think

the chance was 100:1.

But now...

What now? 2:
1?

Don't exaggerate.

I also think of you at night.

You do? And?

I can't blame you for wanting

to change your life.

Don't become like me.

-Why do you say that?

Look at me.

Do you want to end like this?

I'm living with an old whore.

I only read the Racing News.

I have no future and no dough.

And how do I hide this mess?

By pretending.

I pretend. I pretend.

Stop it. It's not that bad.

Really?

Do you want to become like me?

Well then.

So work to be a chief.

You're good. You'll do it.

And if you work really hard...

...you'll be superintendent.

And maybe one day you'll be the

head of police of all of Paris.

You taught me so much

about the streets, the people...

You've got the practical experience.

What you need is theory.

And you only learn theory from books.

-I've got mine.

The exam is hard.

-I'll memorize it all.

But I know a few tricks.

Maybe you can pass with distinction.

What the hell's he doing there?

Let him go. The case is solved.

-The chief is looking everywhere for you.

Yes!

I'm disappointed.

I'm sad and disappointed.

What did we do?

-You caught a thief.

We didn't arrest anybody.

-We almost arrested him.

The one who fought like crazy

and got away?

That's not what he says.

-He's lying.

He even got him...

Feeling better?

Yes, yes, no.

The old man's still standing.

And the money?

-It fell out of his bag.

We gave it back to the owner.

Do you have the return form?

-Who asked you anything?

Ren! Mr. Guichard,

Director of Criminal Investigation.

Hello.

In order to avoid red tape, we

returned the money straight to the owner.

That's not what the woman's saying.

You didn't...

...keep the money?

-I returned it to her.

This is her signed statement.

No mention of returned money.

That's impossible.

She even thanked me.

Madam.

Did these gentlemen give

you back the stolen money?

No.

She's lying. Say that

I didn't return it to you.

You didn't give me anything.

I'll show this b*tch...

-Franois!

No, careful... Franois!

Bullshit!

It's not true.

Franois, calm down.

-Bullshit.

I'll get that b*tch...

Lock him up.

-But...

While his stuff's being searched.

-He had a model career.

Put those rotten cops behind bars..

They're not rotten cops.

-That's an order.

Take... take them away.

I had an old bone to pick with you.

-That was 25 years ago.

Ren, a woman doesn't forget.

Who's this b*tch?

-She's not a b*tch.

She wanted a child

and thought I did too.

And then I met Simone.

They had lunch every day.

If it had been a simple meal...

... I wouldn't have minded,

but with an entre...

Did they threaten you?

-They visited me every month.

Tried to get money from me.

Without success.

A**hole.

Once, twice, 500, 1000.

I'm broke.

I'm not going to give them that...

And I was afraid for him.

Albert, nick named The Fence.

I've got a second-hand shop...

I do a bit of business...

I know.

I've had it.

I'm exhausted.

I'm starting to cry.

Often. Only the highest quality.

Only the best.

They made me bleed.

I couldn't say a word.

Those a**holes.

I'm going to...

Your little game is over.

Over and gone.

I'm going to...

That a**hole.

That's why I prefer

horses to people.

Or dogs.

Crime doesn't pay,

but neither does honesty.

You have a special relationship

with inspector Lesbuche.

I've known more men than cops,

but he's a bad one.

Why?

-He uses his looks to make girls talk.

Isn't that disgusting?

Everybody knows that you have

a relationship with Boisrond.

Sexual, purely sexual.

Besides, he pays for it,

like all the other cops.

Would you like to see the list?

I'll miss you.

While we wait for

their verdict...

...you're suspended...

while the investigation lasts.

To make sure you don't

pressure any witnesses...

...you have to leave the neighbourhood.

I miss you already.

Oh, damn.

I thought somebody

stole it.

The biggest win of the year.
