Ok. Let's go. lt's not far away.

Hey! Follow us.

Deploy you!

The Christmas mood is everywhere.

lt's time to catch that gang.

- How did you know they are here?

l have my own spying ring. My

brother, Jean-Robert. We went up

together for the police examination,

but he failed. And he copied

everything from me, but he

forgot to write his personalnumber...

That happens often. A friend of

mine...

- Ok. Enough!

And he called me last night,

and told me about a suspicious

activity in an underground passage.

l made an investigation, and

l found a tunnel between the bank

and the big stores.

So they will steal the turnover

ofthe big stores.

No! They'll wait till Sunday morning,

and they'll rob the bank, dressed like

Santa Claus.

They'll penetrate trough the stores,

which are opened on Sunday.

- Exactly. And nobody gives attentionto them.

Yes! This is the reason the gang's

members to be disguised as Santa Claus.

Because ofthat they rob in

Marseille the last 8 months

without disturbances.

They are smart, but you commissar,

you are genius.

No, no. l would say:

lt's a matter oftraining.

- Can l make a phone call?

- Sure.

Ah! Emilien has the same phone

set.

Yes.

The stupid cops found out

everything. Switch to plan B.

- Okay. Buy.

- What a nice language.

- l mean the chinese.

- Boss, there are movements.

Get ready. Catch everyone.

The Christmas vacation is over.

Giber tells you!

What the hell is that?

What happens here?

They will escape!

Do something!

l commandeer the vehicle.

Follow me!

- We have beautiful view.

- l see. ls it quietly in winter.

Yes, very quietly.

- Commissar! Wait for me!

- There is no time! Stop!

- As l mentioned we are in want offunds.

- Yes. But l see two cops using

one bike. lt's going too far...

You are right.

Tell the chopper pilot, we'll

be in time.

l'll miss you Emilien.

- Because l like you, you are not

going to suffer too much.

- That's very kind ofyou.

You'll have the privilege to

know the exact time ofyour

death, thanks to this device.

lt's from my Swiss relations.

Once started, the device will

set free that ball, which will

smash you at the first wave.

- How much time l have left?

- You have exactly 5 minutes.

- Cool.

- Use well your time to clean out

your soul.

You have to set free your

consciousness before you go...

...to the non-existence.

- Clean up everything for 5 minutes?

lt's not fair.

You should start.

l'll take your mobile as a

souvenir.

l am sentimental.

lt's from my chinese relations.

Go to hell!

Now l need a miracle.

Oh, not the ball...

Oh, not the taxi...

Take me out Daniel. You can't

imagine what happened to me.

lt was terrible. And my mobile...

The b*tch took my mobile phone.

We have to find her.

- You don't know what she did!

- l just saved your life.

- Am l wrong?

- No, you are right.

l risked my car to be broken

like a police jaloppy.

- Don't say that. You are a good

driver.

- So say thank you for saving mylife.

lf l don't catch that gang, you

saved my life for nothing.

Giber will kill me because of

my faults.

We'll find that gang, but

first say:
''Thank you''

How do we find it. They are

gone without trace.

- Say:
Thank you!

- Thank you. ls it okay

Yes!

l am sorry, l am sorry.

l can't stand any more.

The chinese...

She tortured me for hours.

- She tortured you?

- Yes. lt was terrible.

- What kind oftortures?

- l've never seen something

like that.

l mean, you can't imagine.

lt's hard to explain.

l feel pain, when l talk

about this.

l see.

Don't worry.

We'll find the chines.

Did you see, did you hear something,

when you was captive. - No.

They was talking to some chopper

pilot...

- They wore fur coats.

- Fur coats?

- Do you see something?

- No.

- lt's cold

- Yes. ls this snow?

Yes. And that means two things.

They come from high and it's not

far away from here.

That plus the fur-coats must mean

something.

- Probably.

- What can they do with all that

money in the mountain?

And ifthey want to go over

the mountain. What is there?

Switzerland. Of course!

What a good plan...

They'll travel by car as far as

possible.

There are so many tourists.

Nobody will pay attention

to them.

They will take offfrom some

ski station. There are a lot of

choppers.

They are genius.

Let find the ski station, which

is near the Swiss border.

Val d'lsere.

- Did you see something?

- No. Absolutely nothing.

Sentinel N1 , negative.

- Where you'll spend your vacation?

- l don't know yet.

Following the way of deduction,

the car has to be somewhere here.

- You look from the right side,

l look from the left side.

- Okay.

Do you discriminate between

left and right?

Ah, yes. You mean your right

side.

- Talk clearer!

- What's the difference, we are

side by side.

But l imagined l am facing you.

- What!

- Daniel! The car.

- Here it is.

- Turn right!

- Do you know where do you point to?

- No. All the directions are same for

me. What do you think.

l'll turn right.

Be careful!

- What is this road, Daniel?

- l don't know. Look at the map.

- These cars are a little bit

strange.

- Rental cars ofthe ski station.What's so strange?

What do they say?

- You are 1 minute 10 seconds

late. ls that a problem?

- No, l'll speed up.

Oh no! Look at the ruts!

We cant continue. The pursuit

is over.

The pursuit never stops.

lt's impossible follow them.

Take it easy. Nothing is impossible.

What do you thing about my

collection autumn-winter?

Not bad.

Did you test it?

Never.

- lt seems to be working!

- lt seems.

- How will we find them in the

mountain?

- We can follow the tracks, forexample.

Yes, good idea.

Do you have some device, ifthe

chopper takes off?

You became a little bit insolent,

you know?

l am just trying to keep the

conversation.

- Okay!

- May l use your mobile? The chinese

stole mine.

Put the money into the rucksacks.

We leave before sundown.

Go back to work!

- Do you think they are still there?

- lt's hard to say.

- Hello.

- Emilien! The operation ''Snow-white''

started.

l'll be close to you in 10 minutes.

Your commissar is with me.

- He insisted to participate.

- Oh, no.

- Commissar!

- Yes? -Are you sure it's a

good idea?

Listen to me Alain, l have served

under 13th division of special

forces for 18 months.

The mountain knows me!

- Yes. But it's so high!

- Have you seen the snow before?

l prefer the heat.

Not me!

Let's go!

En route!

- l'll take a look.

- l wouldn't do that.

Just 5 minutes.

Damn it. lt's always the same.

You were right. The road is

out of reach.

Did you see! You could wait for

a minute. Look what you did.

- Take it easy. lt's just water.

- No, for now it's just snow, and

the snow leaves traces.

- Ok, l'll clean your car.

- You'll clean it with what?

l sad, l'll clean it. With what

is my problem.

Come on! Let's go.

- You'll take that risk?

- No. For now, i'll just drive.

Damn it! Follow me!

- Hey! lt's a forest.
