I don't know what's wrong with my car

It doesn't run fast anymore.

Whenever you want a rematch...

Here's your fifty. What are we doing now?

Lets get a drink.

Frogs...

You're crazy we had the gang.

and you act the fool?

We could have called backup and got them!

Yeah, on what charge?

Speeding?.. on a circuit?

Oh, the evidence

Evidence comes later.

We are used to that.

We needed to catch them in the act,

That's what you said? Yes or no?

For the moment it's us that break the law.

If we carry on, it's us who will be jailed.

I understand ok?

You're going to get your bust.

They are all warmed up.

And nobody enjoys a game more than a driver.

Now we can set a

trap for them.

Yeah? What kind of trap?

A trap for idiots.

And what is your "idiot trap?"

Not an "Idiot Trap."

I said "a trap"

Ok. how does it work?

It goes like this

we bring them where we want.

And that is:
here.

We will need 20 Traffic Light keys

and 20 Super Walkie-Talkies.

Walkie-Talkie ok

but keys, the guys always carry them.

Except when they take their shower.

Oh no?

Oh yes.

Oh no?

Oh yes.

You're talented!

Here you go, Jimmy.

Will it take long? I'm freezing.

One minute.

Emilien, I got one...

What are you doing naked?

I'm not naked.

I've got a towel wrapped around me.

And what do you care?

I've got the right to be naked in my office, haven't I?

Isn't it my office?

Yes.

No-one ever taught you to knock?

You'll never learn anything idiot!

Oh, what a welcome

I wanted to tell you a good joke.

Your jokes are never funny.

Get out!

Ah! That feels so good!

COME IN!

Petra...!

Am I disturbing you?

Never!

Yes, I can see you're disturbed.

I'll come back later.

The one time she comes in

with something to tell me...

...I'm naked in the middle of the office.

You believe that Daniel?

What can I say?

Anyway look at her...

She's so beautiful.

She's already a Sergeant.

What could she see in a guy like me?

Ho, ho. Enough.

You done whining?

You've started digging your grave already.

She's not a charity.

A chassis like that doesn't run on petrol.

What she need is a MAN.

Straighten up.

You look like a monkey.

Stand up straight!

Now you go see her and you kiss her.

You either get a slap in the face or

you get her for the next ten years.

There's a 50/50 chance.

If it doesn't work at least you'll know.

It's like a game show.

You win or you lose.

Are you ok, Emilien?

Are you ok?

You are right.

I shouldn't worry.

I've got to go for it

I got it.

It was 50/50.

He will get other chances.

Where are we with the keys?

Done!

Take them.

You think she's going to be angry?

A girl shows up 17 hours late.

What do you do?

I kill her.

So you have your answer!

But we've got flowers.

Oh the nice flowers!

Can we smoke them?

You bake all those cakes?

Yes.

Since we couldn't make love,

we got revenge with cakes.

What a crisis!

Thanks, Camille.

I had a wonderful day.

Sweet smelling flowers.

Thanks. Goodbye.

You don't want to make love?

You have visitors.

You have to take care of them.

Another day, another year.

It makes no difference.

Camille will be in your bed.

Her back hurts.

Good night boys.

God, it's good stuff.

Sure it's Jamaican.

You see. It's not all bad in the police.

Stop it you are tempting me.

Why didn't you race professionally

instead of doing it with a taxi?

My father spent is life in a wheelchair

because of a car accident.

How could I explain to him I wanted to be a racing driver.

I see.

And you? What did you do

to end up so badly?

My story's not so bad.

My dad died when I was 17,

We were alone, mother and I.

So I had to go to work right away.

Without a degree, only the cops will take you.

Where did you live?

At Asnires.

At Jules Ferry?

Yes. Why?

You too?

Yes, I swear.

It's crazy

we could have ended up in the same class.

I would have taught you to steal bikes.

You would have turned out better!

Life is like that. You dream about so many things

when you are a kid but finally...

...nothing goes as planned.

You dream of playing in front

you end up goalie.

You think our plan is going to work?

It will roll.

Are you sure?

Come in.

Am I disturbing you?

No, it's ok.

What do you need?

Red Alert!

Guys, the Plan Couger is under way.

Their target is the S.D.L.M..

Here are your positions

for today.

Arthur, at the crossroads N 1.

Jacky, N 2,...

...at National Flamarion crossroads.

Momo at the crossroads de Le Bech.

N 2, radio and key.

N 3, radio and key. N 4...

Yes?

I know. You'll be back in an hour.

...exactly.

I'll wait for you at your place.

Cougar speaking

the bird is in the cage.

Everybody quiet!

On your knees!

Cougar speaking. the bird will soon get ot of his cage.

Prepare yourselves.

Sh*t they have hostages,

Don't do anything for the moment.

No more room for you.

Ok no problem.

You're going to run next to the car.

It won't be too bad

I'm tired!

Bastards! All Cougar units advance!

Catch the birds.

Catch the birds!

You see it's not the Mercedes we needed to follow...

It's the truck we needed to follow.

This deserves a toast!

And now we can all go home!

Cheers! Cheers!

Let's party.

Everything's ready?

Twenty strategic points blocked.

If they cross any of these junctions

they are caught like rats.

They're taking Michelet Boulevard,

they're going to Place Mazard.

Who's on that corner?

Jean-Bat, N 7.

Call him. He will be the opening act.

N 7, Jean-Bat.

You hear me?

Yes, listening.

You're going to be first. You in position?

Yes no problem.

It's our turn now.

It won't fit.

Nag, nag...

Hey Bavarians, how are you

Still in your tractor?

Sorry about the last time.

I forgot the handbrake. That's why I was so slow.

Hey I'm telling you.

It's a lot better now.

Want to do another Tortoise/Hare or you just chicken?

Ok, you Frogs

always got a big mouth

Come on the motorway with me & we'll see!

Did I upset you?

I'm going to blow up your Peugeot!

I did upset you.

I'm sorry, very sorry.

I'll give you another chance,

but I won't bet much this time.

I feel bad taking money from you so easily.

Here you go my baby, 10F.

You're going to pay for your insolence.

Better to be insolent than ridiculous!

I think you over did it a bit.

Not at all,

Tell 7, 8 and 9 to go red.

Jean-Bat, go on red now.

N 10, in position.

N 11, in position.

Perfect. 12 and 13, prepare yourselves.

This is N13,

I've got a small problem.

There are two cops standing at the light.

Sh*t!

Move them!

Easy for you to say! They set up home.

We are nearly there. Sort it out

or we are done for.

Pollo, let me talk to the cops.

Excuse me sir, it's for you.

Hello.

This is Gibert.

We found a bomb and it's right next to you.

Where?

In the traffic light.

Stay calm

we know how to defuse it.

Listen carefully. Put the key in the light

and make the light turn red.

It's already red!

Don't worry about the colour

...just turn the key to the right!

Yes, yes, Mr Commissioner.
