Taxi Page #4

What are we doing now?

We're doing what takes up 80% of a policeman's life...

...Observation.

Familiarise yourself with the terrain,

observe entrances and exits

...and analyse the situation.

At closing time, we'll go and ask Kruger a few questions.

When does the place close?

Kruger's? He never closes; he's insomniac.

Thanks!

They didn't have anything else.

Too bad we didn't stop by my mother's.

She makes terrific sandwiches.

Ham and Cheese.

Half Bayonne, half Parisian.

It's wonderful.

She made you one?

Yeah.

A small slice of cheese in the middle

with lettuce.

...and pickles.

Fabulous.

That's mine.

Ah, really good, congratulations.

What's he doing?

That's a Korean driver.

A real pain in the ass in my job.

They work 24 hours a day.

He must sleep sometime.

They are human.

No, they have a "technique"

One taxi, one plate,

one licence,...

...and 2 drivers.

Can you tell the difference between 2 Koreans?

Incredible.

I know a Korean who does food as a business.

Want some?

No. we wait until he closes his garage.

We'll be waiting a long time.

The guy is insomniac and never closes.

How do you know that?

The bar owner.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I haven't been in the police force long.

I don't have the reflexes.

It's not special to cops.

It's just common sense you idiot!

We are here two fools

waiting for an insomniac to go to sleep!

Does that sound logical to you?

If I'm the Mercedes driver

and I know that the mechanic is insomniac...

...I'll come during the night,

it's much more discrete.

Oh yeah? You think that the driver will just show up...

...with his nice Mercedes?

I don't believe it!

When a driver's not driving

he's always in a Garage.

What are they doing there?

Probably the 8-inch

tyres they ordered from Kruger.

It's a miracle.

I can't let go such an opportunity.

If it goes bad, call the station

and give the Mercedes plate numbers.

Where are you going?

After information...and action.

The Korean trick.

What?

The Korean trick!

What an idiot!

The new tyres.

Where they are going to put them?

What are you doing there?

Me? Sleeping.

I don't have a house. My country is very cold.

Please! Don't hurt me.

I just wanted to sleep.

I'm going to take you to a house

where you'll sleep...

and maybe even eat if you're lucky.

Hey you're hurting me!

I'm doing my best.

What is your name?

Daniel.

Oh, yeah. Daniel.

I'm Emilien.

We should call each other by name, it'll be better.

Yeah better.

Now that we are friends,

what just happened...

stays between us...

When you let go of my hand,

will I be able to go to sleep?

I'm no insomniac or Korean.

Certainly.

I waited for you all night.

It was deliberate,

so that you would really want me.

You won't regret waiting.

Promises, promises.

Let me see what you can do.

Not too bad

a little bit more.

What? What is going on?

It's 6am and this is not Sunday.

It's Monday.

You can't do that Lily.

I waited all night.

And me? I played dominos

Can't you call in sick?

Sick on Monday morning?

My boss will really like that.

No one ever got away with that.

It can happen to anybody.

Being sick on Monday morning.

You went to eat at your parents'.

You ate too much...

...and you puked all night.

It's possible, isn't it?

A man who works all week

and goes missing on Sunday.

Do you think he can keep a relationship?

I'm so sorry, Lily.

I had a shitty day.

I promise that if you come to dinner here

tonight I'll explain everything.

Ok, light meal

I don't want to be sick Tuesday morning.

A short time at the table and a long time in bed.

We could even eat in bed to save time.

You'd better be good...

it's your last chance

I'm going to impress you.

We're going to wait all day

in front of the garage - again?

We're done with observation,

Now it's interrogation.

Are you interested in seeing

a real interrogation?

No.

You're going to come anyway.

I won't be any use. I'm better staying

with the taxi in case sh*t happens.

I need a translator.

I don't want him to bamboozle me with technicalities.

Kruger doesn't have a chance against me,

I'm telling you.

Good morning gentlemen.

Which one of you is called Kruger, please?

It's written on the label

just like a waitress.

Mr Kruger, I've

got a few questions.

Don't worry

it won't be long.

F*** I'm out of ammo!

What for? They are long gone.

Yeah? Open you eyes.

There's nobody here.

Yeah, nobody.

Can I ask you a quick question?

What?

Are your interrogations

always like that, or was it to please me?

Usually I ask at least one question.

Let's get some air.

You know, you saved my life.

No.

Yes.

I owe you a big favour.

Lets forget that month's work...

and turn it into a just a week.

That your idea of a favour, huh?

I need to catch that gang, it's important

to me.

Because of the blonde chick?

No.

In part yes,

but mostly for me, understand.

I'm tired of spending nights

sorting garbage.

It's a question of honour.

Maybe it's crazy, but I need this,

Can I have the night off?

You're kidding - of course you have.

Can I borrow him?

Mum...

I lost my prescription

the doctor agreed to do another one.

They are closing in 5 minutes.

It's my heart medecine.

I won't let you die here.

This way I'll have saved the whole family today.

You're so charming, Daniel.

I know, I know.

Look Johnny, here they come.

Don't worry baby.

I've put a transmittter in that bullet

this way they can't get away.

You're so clever Johnny

It's my job baby.

Now we just have to follow them.

Incredible!

...let's save your father.

I'll never forget what you've done for me Johnny.

It's my job baby.

Men,

we just received a call.

They're really baiting us.

Gonna be the Marseilles Bank.

Since they are so precise with us,

I'm going to be so with you.

I won't tolerate any misbehavior...accidents

Nothing!

Perfect coordination.

I have two words for this mission...

Serenity...

...and efficiency.

So I decided

to name this mission

the Operation...

...Zen.

Chief!

Forget the TinySnakes and Cobras

I just got the idea of the century.

The Mercedes Gang will be nailed tonight

or I'm not called Emilien Barbadec.

I hope your plan is foolproof

'cos this is your last shot.

I giving you that shot

so be kind and don't miss.

Everybody on the floor!

Quick!

Hands on heads!

Lie down! Don't move.

Come on!

Hey you! Get your head down!

Don't look at us!

It's working.

Good, very good.

Stay down all of you!

Follow them at a distance.

So you won't be scared.

They stopped in Gauguin St.

We have them.

Here is Gibert.

All units:
close off an area

They're not moving.

Same street.

What's happening?

The dot disappeared.

I saw it disappear.

I want you to find out why.

They must be this way...

...a red Mercedes

doesn't go by unnoticed.

They're close, I can feel it.

They are supposed to be here.

Go, Go !

Don't shoot.

I'm the hostage.

Emilien...

How...?

I don't understand.
