course at the american police.

This is some kind of language

reflex.

Crazy, eh?

l would like to sayjust ''go''...

...and the Santa Claus gang to be

caught beforere Christmas.

No more vacations, absences for

reason of health...

...or domestic disturbances...

Especially as, miss Piu, eh Qiu,

who is journalist, will give us

the honour to participate in

this mission.

Let make a good impression

about the French police.

The basic aspects ofthe mission are:

Concentration, Reflection, Action.

l named the mission:

Operation:
''Snow-white''

ln French:
Blanche Neige.

l was right about the nonsenses.

- Yes, he's genius.

- From now, l want every one

available 24 hours by the day.

- Couchon? -Me -You? -Yes. -lh

- What is this on your desk, boss?

- A gift?

- Very kind. For my birthday?

- lt's when? ln July.

lt's for Christmas. -Whatever.

l'll open it now.

Let see.

- Very nice. lt's from who?

- Someone, who knows you well.

- Did you see the little push-button.

- Yes.

- Ah! Put the guns down!

- He's genius.

Hello. This is Santa Claus.

l'll be waiting for you at noon,

in front ofthe Europern Park.

There will be presents. Hurry up

and catch me.

- What time is it?

- lt's 5 to 12.

General alert!

l sad quiet! How to work with

these cretins?

Don't write this, miss Qiu.

lt's a typical french conversation.

But we don't think like that.

This is Giber! Deploy you and

wait for my signal. Go!

For sure, they will come out

from the garage ofthe bank

with a fast car.

Anyway we'll surprise them.

Boss, are you sure that this is

the right way?

Certainly! They sent us a message,

where they are. They thought, we won't

come.

This is because they don't know

me, the commissar Giber.

l am here, waiting for the trap.

But boss, ifthis is the trap.

We are here and they are somewhere

else, working without disturbances...

Think Emilien, think. There is

no sense.

Why should they tell us about

their new strike.

- This is stupid.

- That's the think, that worries me.

- Till now they didn't nothing stupid.

- There is always first time. Trust me!

- Unless...

- Unless what?

They are sure, the could escape...

Escape from me? lmpossible. ln

any case l'll catch them.

- Boss!

- Yes?

To come out from this bank, they

have to pass over us.

What is this?

lt's, it's...

- Boss, are you ok?

- Yes, l am fine.

Why don't you start the pursuit?

- With these car?

- How should l know. lnvent

something. You have no imagination?

Confiscate a car!

l don't get it. He shown his

identities. Why they didn't

stop.

No one in Marseille stops if

there is a cop on the road.

They could slow down...

l am ok! Ok.

- Boss, we can use the other cars!

- You are right, Emilian! Get in the cars!

This is a unique security system.

lt's connected with the police

network.

lf necessary, you push on this

button, and the nearest police

car comes in a minute.

lt works.

- You have no eyes?

- You scratched my car.

Damn it!

Oh, my car!

Boss, this pursuit made a lot

of damages!

or less, what's the difference.

Go, go!

We are going to port Marseille.

There are some historical monuments...

...builded by Louis XVll

in year 1661 ... Attention!

The car!

- Do you follow the situation?

- Certainly!

- Louis XVll in year 1661 ...

- l didn't mean that!

Follow the car with the big

tyres from the front.

Oh-la-la...

Always staff problems.

This young man for example, is

a good swimming instructor,

but he drives car like he has no

driving license...

- And does he have a license?

- No. l started working yesterday!

- But this is impossible!

- Calm down, Emilian. lt's a

simple task. He just has to

follow that car. Piece of cake,

even for a swimming instructor.

- What should l do?

- Just follow them.

l know this kind of machines.

The fuel consumption is 100l/100km.

- lt will stop in 5 minutes.

- lfwe don't catch them in 5 minutes.

We will.

We disturbed a lot of people.

Don't worry. lt happens in France...

- But there are damages.

- Stop repeating the same!

- They disappeared!

- What, that is impossible!

- May be they are in the pool.

- That's better.

- Stop!

lt was really close.

Eh! Watch your steps!

Can we survive 5 minutes.

Sure. lt's water resistant.

ls it always like that in the French

police?

Absolutely not. ln the most cases

the cars leak.

Boss! l can't swim!

Don't worry!

There is a swimming instructor.

Ah, the little Daniel. lt's a pleasure

to see you.

l'll tell you something.

You meet too often my daughter.

Just kidding! lt's normal. Have

fun.

We have also car problems.

You saw, did you?

And the shoes are so small.

l feel terrible pains.

joke on me.

By now 6 months have passed since l

lt's not funny!

Relax commissar!

You are so nervous.

lt's because ofthat gang. The Santa

Claus gang...

Don't think about it!

Ok, but for now l can't see.
