Be with you in 20 minutes.

OK, 20 minutes to warm up.

What about us?

What can we do for about 20 minutes?

l don't know. Any ideas?

Yeah, but 20 inches...

minutes is too short!

Oh yeah? So, we need an idea

we could start now and finish later.

Yes, that would work!

But... l too have an idea.

I'm sure you'll really like it.

Oh yeah?

It may be the same one.

That 'd be marvellous!

It'd be ideal!

Go on, you first.

Make the most

of these few quiet moments...

to learn Japanese!

It wasn't the same idea.

He won't see much of Marseille.

Sorry, he's suffering from jetlag.

May l ask why your boss is here?

To sign very big contract

and see anti-gang method.

He'll sure see that!

- You know method?

Sure l do!

A foreigner is doubly suspect!

Then there's the guilty,

foreign, tanned suspect! He's had it!

lf he's tanned, he just sun-bathes and

does nothing all day, he's a suspect!

So, he's guilty. Faultless logic!

That boy any good?

Very good. A young doctor,

friend of my daughter's.

Something tells me they're flirting.

Only natural at their age.

- Quite.

To make the guilty party confess,

they use questioning!

Simple!

They apply a trilogy like Star Wars.

Episode 1:
Beat him up!

Good, healthy exercise!

Episode 2:
Tax 'em to raise

some cash for the Christmas party!

Episode 3:
Drink copiously!

I'm pleased some youngsters

still respect our values.

A good son-in-law.

- Think so?

Many French gangs?

The most dangerous are

the heavy mob:
100,000 - strong!

Easy to spot:

always guzzling beer!

Go toward the port.

- My pleasure, chief.

He sounds very polite.

- Affirmative. Courteous, too.

Polite to your face,

shaft you from behind!

Like in the souk.

A big smile as they steal your cash!

But I've got my eye on him.

Tell me something.

I've not been in the police long,

but try me.

What means the word

your captain uses: ''Nip''?

Why 'd he stop?

l said to beware!

What's going on?

Just a simultaneous translation

problem!

Cut the crap.

We're at the meeting point in... now.

Don't worry!

General alert.

Sh*t!

There's a missile pointing at me.

Missile? What missile?

Atlas:
real-time missile diversion.

Unique!

The Limeys won't get the ball!

Impressive,

but where's it headed?

Don't worry.

Somewhere far out at sea.

Sh*t, my boat!

The high point of our show.

Impressive!

Very good work, Gibert.

Thank you, sir, I'm so pleased to be

able to try out this equipment at last.

Roadhog!

OK, the coast is clear.

Impressive

- You get used to it. A regular day.

Your moves are improving,

but not your accent.

Spring Roll! Copy?

Just fine. Did you make it.

l mean, are you here?

Be with you in 5.

Ready?

Petra and l were checking

a few things out. A-OK.

Emilien, Gibert here.

I'm counting on you.

You can count on me, Petra.

l mean:
you can count on Petra!

Count on Petra!

Go!

Dammit, l told you to warm up!

We're hot!

Gibert will kill you guys!

Go warm up!

Just off to the little girls' room.

I'll go with you. You never know.

Can't you read?

It says ''Green light''!

Get a move on, you fag!

Oh sh*t!

Now turn left.

l repeat left.

Yes, chief.

l repeat, chief!

He says you drive well.

- I'm not moving!

It freaks me out

not to hear the engine speak to me.

Putting in earplugs?

Do l talk too much?

Nein!

It's a miniature ear transmitter.

Brand-new!

I'm on channel 1.

But how do we talk?

l know you French can't handle it,

but an order isn't to be discussed!

Yeah, but if you have a problem

what do l do?

Can you hear me?

Mind if we keep chatting?

That's good, 'cause the closed door

makes it easier to talk to you.

l don't dare

to say things to your face.

Your eyes trouble me.

They're so...

so blue!

What's Spring Roll up to?

- What?

It's in code.

l just can't find the translation.

When your eyes look at me...

wow!

It's a 1st,

or l had my back turned.

Part of method?

- You bet! Daniel's method!

It's good to open my heart to you.

You don't mind too much?

Should l go on, then?

l don't get it!

Have you noticed

that I'm much closer to you now?

''No''?

Good!

OK, Petra, I'll say something

you may find shocking. Here goes.

He'll screw up!

Well, since Day One,

I've known l love you!

Well played!

- Told you!

There, l said it!

Now put me out of my misery:

is it mutual?

So, uh...

Change channels to talk dirty!

We're working!

Left here, kid.

- Yes, pops!

He's not one of us.

That's for sure.

He's not one of us.

What're you playing at?

Go on! Ninja!

Sorry to be so down:

l smell a trap.

Smell a trap?

l don't smell a thing. Do you, sir?

Strange how those trucks are parked.

Just room for 1 car!

No, there's no trap.

l checked the map. No trap here.

Drive on!

- lf you say so.

l should know.

Well, l never!

A trap!

What's he up to?

What page?

That's not on my list.

Hats off!

Sh*t!

Glad it's not my taxi!

What happened?

Where's the Nip?

Some Ninjas... came,

and the Secretary went.

What? He didn't fly away?

He did! At that speed,

he must be on his way to Mars!

Ask Atlas.

It must've spotted him!

General alert!

Stop! Police!

Sh*t!

Complex town, huh?

Small streets!

The jails are no bigger!

Lie down there!

I'm crack shot, so no tricks!

You speak French?

Me warn you:
me shoot!

Spread out!

Is that how you wanna play it?

All right!

Now where are they?

They didn't fly away, too?

Where's Emilien? Emilien!

l reckon he's near the garbage.

l was this close to getting 'em,

but l was outnumbered.

They took the Secretary!

- Which one?

The Nip, not ours.

It's a disaster!

Yeah, and they got Petra, too.

Good. She speaks Japanese,

so he'll be less alone.

Lilly, I'm coming.

Your dad made me stay!

But it's been 2 hours.

I'm hot all over.

All over?

- Yeah, all over!

I'll be on fire soon.

I'm coming. Watch a documentary -

it'll calm you down!

I'll be 5 minutes.

- Too long!

It's my fault

for leaving her in the john!

You shoulda gone with her.

- l thought of that. l did. But...

Finished scratching about yet?

There were indeed cars here.

You read Sherlock Holmes

to deduce that?

Don't you have any clues

to get us started?

We'll analyze the tire samples

at the lab. That'll tell us more.

They'll have time

to swim back to Tokyo!

Thanks for everything,

but l need my taxi now.

Want your convertible?

We're in sh*t!

These clowns are shaving the road!

Please help us find a clue.

Look, Lilly's on fire.

She might burn herself.

They got my girl.

Give me 2 minutes of your time.

Take a look, then I'll handle it.

From below, l saw 3 black Mitsubishis.

A new model.

Tires straight from Japan.

- How d'you know?

Smell it.

- Fish.

Meaning?

- A restaurant?

You got fish oil for brains?

Restaurants and ports!

They were on a boat from Japan!

- So, that's why they smell of fish!

See? Now, are they stolen cars?

- Easy!

Alain!

- I'm onto it.

OK, you put your tweezers down.

On Monday morning, you'll get a whistle

and be put on traffic duty!
