Come on...

Emilien, we just got

another record.

A taxi, near the harbour.

You know how fast?

Yes - in first gear.

When he engaged 2nd:

You got it?

Do you think they called in the Air Force?

Imagine that speed!

Hey you heard the latest one?

Listen, it's funny.

What is the difference between

a comb and an egg?

Hey you are a lousy audience.

I'll come back later.

Yes, much later, and if it's night-time,

so much the better.

Next time,

knock before you enter!

Petra...

I didn't say that for you

Ok Emilien. So what happened

with your test, it went badly?

Ah, the news travels fast.

I've got news for you.

The Chief is holding a meeting, and there's only you two missing

Ah no... we weren't informed

You just have to push that button

You see there; "Power".

You hear me or what? In my office right now!

Are you deaf Emilien?

No, not anymore.

So guys, after hitting Dutch, Italian, and Belgian banks...

...the Mercedes Gang

just arrived in France

These Germans absolutely must not invade our territory

My grandpa fell into their hands. That makes it personal.

So the Paris-Berlin links and French-German entent can kiss my arse!

Alright? No I don't mean you Petra.

You are German... right, but you are a cop so it's ok.

And they have the gaul to nominate

a city before hitting its banks!

It's unbelievable!

In 3 days

it will be Marseille bank.

Red Alert,

We've got support

One driver per team.

When the Germans exit the bank, our teams will follow them...

...not losing them; twisting and

turning after them like a snake...

...before we strike!

Guys, this is why

this operation will be called

...Cobra.

Petra, Can you please assemble the teams ?

Each team has a code-name and a stake-out

marked on the map behind you.

The teams members are listed next to the map.

You have 50 minutes to get into position.

Excuse me Petra, that dinner date we talked about...

...this week would be nice,

because...

...the computer software I developed, that we've talked about...

...shouldn't be left too long.

Somebody could steal the idea.

Oh no,..who can't wait?

You or the software?

Me

No! Him..It...the software...

the computer.

It's complicated.

This is why I thought...

...dinner...

As soon as the Germans are arrested,

I promise, I'm going to take care of you...

...of the software I mean.

Ah perfect.

Which team are you in?

With the Cobra.

Don't worry, you are lucky

I've put you in the best team.

Damn, There's no more coffee.

Hey have you seen my steering wheel?

It's nice, it's mine...

...I bought it from Alain Prost.

with a new grip

special Dakkar.

Even with a load of sand in the car...

Oh yeah?

Too bad we aren't at the beach then.

Hey, don't smoke

It irritates my eyes

No coffee, no smoking...

No girls!!

Boa calling TinySnake.

I repeat:
Boa calling TinySnake.

TinySnake here, I'm listening.

Yeah, it's Alan. Is your team any good?

Superb. We are exchanging addresses.

And you?

Somebody is about to piss on me.

Apart from that everything's fine.

Rachid, the small black Peugeot behind ?

Man! You're crazy Marco!

We are not going to steal a car during the day!

Oh yeah, why not?

F***, Marco! Its full of cops!

We don't know this neighbourhood, We should stick to what we know.

No problem, all the cops are at the airport!

Theres are none for 20Km

around here.

Are you crazy?

Be calm man! All the cops are

at the airport. I told you!

I've seen it on TV. Clinton

is there with his girl

Hey Cops! Look at Marco

he kisses you

Lets arrest him.

No, let him take the car,...

...let him finish his little act,

We need a better view.

I need to take a leak.

No, we can't leave the car. It's orders.

You see? All at the airport like I said.

Smile guys, you are on film.

I tell you guys if they don't show up

in one minute with their Mercedes,...

...it's going to be coffee, smokes and a piss.

We're going to do all that later man!

To all the snakes... don't strike

until the mouse gets out of its hole.

I repeat don't strike until they exit.

Commissioner?

No Petra, don't disturb me now, I'm busy.

But it's the Minister.

Mr Minister, aren't you at the airport?

We just finished.

Tell me more about that Mercedes gang...

We have located them and will grab them shortly.

Good! I have told my German colleague

that we will catch them right away.

The krauts won't get a chance...

...to learn much about Marseilles

Tonight they will be in jail.

Tomorrow I'll send them home...

...Special Delivery.

Hold on a minute

I don't want this to become

a settling of accounts between French and Germans.

The war is over Gibert.

Of course, Mr Mister

I understand perfectly. They are criminals

just like the others, they aren't treated differently

Maybe you should start by not calling them krauts.

I called them krauts?

Yes.

Krauts?

Yes.

My mistake Mr Minister.

I can count on you?

Yes, don't worry. Remember the Chinks

Er, I mean the Asians.

Everything went smoothly.

Almost no deaths.

At least, not on our side.

Hello? Hello?

He hung up!

You see, it's easy.

Where are the cables?

Sh*t, Marco! Hurry up!

Move the car stupid

or do you want me to bring you the keys?

We are the "Coolbras"

and in Coolbra there is the word "cool"

We going to be "cool" rather than poisonous ok?

To all the snakes, don't miss them,

we want them alive.

At least for an hour.

I'm not really in the mood for this.

I guess I'd better leave you guys.

And...

I really have to take a leak.

Lets GO!!

What is going on?

Something's wrong Mr Minister.

Don't move Mr Minister.

Sh*t!

We've been ambushed!

Send us backup.

I identified the car...

I repeat, I identified the accomplice's car.

Four well-trained men.

Backup is coming Mr Minister!

Sh*t, sh*t!

Sir. I think we are shooting at cops.

Are they surrendering?

Hello, TinySnake here.

We had a small problem with the car door.

Good morning sir. Don't worry

you can go in 5 minutes.

No problem, no problem.

Thank you sir.

Here, there are giving up.

Uh it's funny... he looks just like...

Like the Minister.

You didn't eat anything.

I'm not really hungry today.

Mum, no

Don't worry about your licence.

Remember your father, he never got one.

What? How come?

I remember him driving.when I was young

Yes, it's true.

He took the test 20 times

At the end they just gave it to him!

Thanks, I feel better now.

You're welcome

Here, David, the landlord's son,

asked me if you could repair that.

Yeah, tell him my name isn't Super Mario.

I know your name is Super Cop

the one who upholds the law

...and protect citizens from evil.

Oh dear, it's a nice profession you do

I'm proud of you.

Oh yes!

That's why you tell everyone I work at IBM?

You want me to bring you all the neighbour's parking tickets?

No.

Ok, you work at IBM

It's our little secret..

I get to fix all the neighbour's electronic toys.

Never happy.

Oh Mum, I'm kidding!

Can you call me a taxi?
