lt's just like that.

- l am afraid, l'll fall asleep.

- l'll wake you up.

R-r-rh!

lt was formidable.

Hey! What are you doing? Do you

know where you are?

- No. Where am l?

- ln front ofthe commissariat!

- ls it true? Well, l have to park somewhere!

- l am in no laughing mood.

- My compliments, general.

- Stay easy!

Thank you Daniel. l'll see you

this evening at home.

Daniel! Thank God you are here.

- Yes, you can go.

And could you keep this parking

place vacant. l'll be back.

Yes, right.

- Step on the gas! l am late.

- Yes boss.

- You can't imagine what happened

to me.

- Similarly you can't imagine whathappened to me.

- You simply can't imagine it?

- A promotion?

lt's not about myjob!

lt's personal. Come on, guess!

- You'll get married?

- Better! l'll become a father.

- That's impossible!

- lt's possible!.

- You are genius.

- Lily is pregnant too.

That's impossible!

We are genius.

We'll become fathers together.

lt's amazing. We are friends

for years. And now we'll have,

a baby together.

l mean separately...

...but at the same time.

- Everyone has his baby, and his

place.

Exactly.

- Since when Petra is pregnant?

- Since 8 months.

- You could tell me till now!

- She told me this morning.

You are the first, who learns.

Even mamma doesn't know yet. And since

when Lily is pregnant?

- 2 bars.

- What do you mean?

You make the test, and it lets

you know how much you are pregnant...

Lily is pregnant 2 bars.

- lt's cool.

- Yes, it's cool.

Commissar!

You have a visit.

What are you doing, Giber?

R-r-r, it's a pleasure to see you.

Nothing! We just...

This is a colleague of mine,

from China. She was explaining

me a way, to save my time.

sleep. lt gives energy.

However the course is finished.

See you soon commissar.

Thanks.

Thanks my little Qiu.

So, what can l do for you?

There was cauliflowers everywhere

in my office, but l didn't

understand the meaning.

- lt's a big misunderstanding.

- Yes, you had to guess earlier.

- Why cauliflower?

- l don't know, may be it's a symbol

offatherhood...

lt was really a big mistake, Daniel.

Calm down. lt's not so bad.

You just don't know what the

cauliflower symbolizes...

- You think so?

- Sure! Petra will understand you.

- Thanks. Now l am calm.

- Don't be so calm,

you couldn't be sure with a future

mother.

- What do you mean?

During this period, they are

unpredictable.

Crisis could happen.

And the children, l think, that

they will occupy some place.

And time.

We definitely have to change

our way of live.

You are right. We'll need time to

take them at sckoll.

That will be later. At the beginning

you'll have to hide the electrical

wall-plugs with sticking plaster.

- l'll have to do that?

- Exactly!

lt's a little bit otherwise, that

l was imaging.

- Did Rashid give you this sh*t?

- Yes.

- Do you know Rashid?

- A little.

The sun rises.

Tell me Daniel, Santa Claus

driving a scooter, isn't a little

bit strange?

Yes, normally it has to be

a sledge.

Follow him discretely.

Stop thinking about yourjob!

May be that brings your problems.

- Follow him.

- At your orders... Commissar!

Check out a scooter, registration

N 75BM13, over.

- The scooter was stolen 2 weeks ago.

- Yes, l knew it, follow him.

- You better call Petra.

- Daniel, we'll follow him,

then we'll call Giber,

and he'll be in charge ofthis

case. You have my word.

-ie.

- l was waiting for some traces

so long.

- Would you stop that sh*t.

- Certainly.

Damn it! The first trace for months,

and l'll lose it!

Calm down. Each problem has a

solution.

What are you doing?

- Daniel, what's wrong with you!

- l am solving your problem. Any comment?

- No! But how do l stay like that?

- Bend your knees.

What?

Ok, ok.

Well. You saw where he entered.

Now call the commissar!

Bla-bla! Stop talking.

l'll check out the situation.

Hey! You have a Santa Claus,

a stolen scooter and an abandoned

storehouse.

What do you need more?

His legal file?

l'll take a look!

- Bingo.

- Why don't you check for

plastic explosive?

Very funny. Let change our

position.

Follow me.

Why don't you call the commissar?

We had a deal.

Because his first question will be:

How many are they?

l need to know. lt's the principle.

Emilien, l have a bad feeling

about this. Don't do it!

Really? Go home then. lt's

my duty and l'll do it.

That worries me!

- l am worried only by Giber.

- Emilien. Enough!

Goodness!

- Hello.

- l went to my doctor today.

Are you interested?

- lf he's a good doctor, l am interested.

- He's an excellent doctor.

He was recommended by the prefect's

daughter. She has 4 children.

- We can beat her.

- l don't think l'll see you

again.

Lily! l'll do my best. Don't

say that.

Why do you whisper?

Because of several Santa Clauses.

They are here, around the dust-bin.

Lily! Lily!

Damn it!

- What are you doing here?

- Guess.

You waste your time. l'll say

nothing. l can stand any tortures.

Nobody force you talking.

We already know everything. And

the tortures are out offashion.

There are more effective methods

to make a man talking.

No kidding?

The tenderness for example.

lt can be very dangerous arm.

You are a pretty man. What do you

do in the police.

l do myjob. Ah, don't do that.

l don't see any reasonable argument

against my opinion.

- Stop it! it's my mobile.

- Let see!

Oh, what a nice model!

- l think the battery is discharged.

- Don't do that!

You have no soul!

You are inhuman.

The hungerjustify the methods.

And l am very hungry.

- Petra!

- l can't answer the call, because

l am very, very busy.

Leave a message, and l'll call you

back later.

Emilien, this is Petra. l suppose

you are on a mission.

You have to know, that l

entirely trust you.

l know how much you love your

job, and how much energy you

put in work.

l think it's time to take care of

yourself.

Take some rest, have fun.

We must spend more time together.

That's all. Call me back when you

finish. Kisses.

Hello Daniel.

lt's you again. Did you see

Emilien somewhere.

Yes actually! l drove him

free of charge.

- You drove him. Where?

- He followed a Santa Claus.

- From the gang?

- l don't know, but l suppose so.

This Emilien. He found the gang's

traces quite alone.

- Actually l was with him.

- Ok. We'll follow the plan.

- And Emilien?

- l'll take care of him!

Stay around. Well need you

for this mission.

- And Emilien?

- We'll find him before Christmas.

But l don't know in what shape...

lt's very promising.

- Commissar!

- Ah. Just in time. We are on the

gang's track.

We'll bring them to their knees.

- Shall l come with you?

- Absolutely not. lt's an arrest,

not a Christmas party.

Please, commissar.
