The Prey Page #2

Synopsis: Bank-robber Franck Adrien is serving a prison sentence after robbing a national bank. Before he was caught he managed to hide the money but now it's not just the police who are looking for the money. His cell-mate is Jean-Louis Maurel, an alleged rapist/child molester who claims his innocence. When the court finds Maurel not guilty, Maurel promises to look after Franck's family when he gets out. But one day, a man called Manuel Carrega tells Franck that Maurel is a suspected serial killer and that Franck's family is in danger. Franck escapes from prison and police officer Claire Linné and her team take up the chase.

The Corsican was right.

You were perfect.

Come on,

[Russian]

I'm not translating.

Vous tes 3!

Franck.

They're going to kill me!

Let me out!

Nico, open the door!

I'll kill you, you f***er!

Nico!

Sh*t.

The Costas'll spend Christmas

in the clink.

Hang on...

Ren's more cunning.

We'll need to be more cunning

to catch him..

Exactly.

Has The Holy Ghost

finished with your cover?

He wants Claire downstairs.

And whadda YOU want?

Couldn't ask for more.

The prisoner

who got out

dressed as a guard.

Franck Adrien, in

for the bank

stickup.

I know.

So?

He had 2 months to go.

He's not ready.

He's going to make

the usual mistakes

getting back the hidden loot.

Anyone can catch him.

I'm staying on the Costas.

The boss wants the best.

The troop that's just had

you and your team.

If it's so simple,

you'll be back with the Costas

in no time.

Thank you, monsieur.

That's OK.

Would you know

where to find the eggs?

They're at the end, through there.

Would it be too much to ask

to come with me?

I always get lost

with all these aisles.

Yes, follow me.

- Melissa!

I'm waiting for you.

Sorry, gotta go.

Doesn't matter,

I'll find them myself.

The man thwarted the security checks.

Franck Adrien, convicted

for the holdup of the Savings Bank

didn't have more than 8 months of prison left.

He may be armed and

is considered dangerous.

Got it...

au revoir, monsieur.

D'you think

he'll understand?

Nothing to worry about.

The police have good info, now.

Christine,

we knew he'd get out

one day.

i've got everything worked out.

He doesn't know what's waiting for him.

Trust me.

Nobody's going to take our

happiness away.

She's sleeping?

She looks so adorable

like that.

Thanks for giving her to me.

He's got very few connections.

He avoids his relations.

His wife?

Yeah.

Anna Martens.

She used to visit him.

She's unemployed,

takes care of the kid.

The address she gave

is phony.

And his accomplices?

Guests of the state.

Jrme Novick

was at Mrancourt.

It wasn't a great love affair.

He attacked Adrien

with a screwdriver.

Nice boy.

I'm going to question him.

How much did they get?

We've only got back pocket money.

He's going to want

to get the money back.

Watch the places he knows.

Houses, bars.

His picture's

everywhere.

I've asked for

his visiting room videos.

a, c'est quoi?.

Those who could've seen him

in their area.

Dobbing-in's a national sport.

Has the media spoken to Anna?

No.

We got an address for Anna

in the suburbs.

Who's he?

Anna?.

Hey, watch where you're going!

What's going on?

Turn them out!

Nobody leaves.

Are you staying here?

No, I'm covering you.

Police, step aside.

Out of the way!

That's it.

Police, open up!

No one!

Come here.

Look.

We just missed him.

Marco!

Coming!

He's not far away.

We need reinforcements,

He's in the area.

With luick, we'll be back

in an hour.

Avec de la chance, dans une heure, on est rentrs.

Don't move!

Don't you move.

Let me past.

Of course!

Anything else?

I can't go back to prison

now.

Don't move!

I've learnt something

very important.

You can't shoot,

I'm not threatening you

You can see

I'm unarmed

Adrien is on the street.

Warn everyone!

There he is!

Stop him!

You OK?

Close the next station!

If the train stops

he'll get off.

Is he crazy?

Divide up the zone

and set up road blocks.

I know,

good...thanks.

He's probably already far away.

Here...

...yours?

He's crazy.

Something's driving him.

Something really strong.

"Anna, wherever you are,

I'll find you."

She's cleared off

with the cash.

Two for the price of one?

Yeah, that'll make

The Holy Ghost happy.

Yes?

Why did you do it?

Franck, I knew

you'd call.

How are you?

Tell me,

why did you do it?

Why did you kill her?

It was all her fault.

Thank God...

I know how to read people.

Your wife was unreliable.

She would have

given you problems.

I chose to save you

from all that.

What've you done

with Amlie?

What've you done with

my little daughter?

Where is she, Maurel?

Have you killed her?

She's a lovely little thing.

I love her very much.

I shan't do her

any harm at all.

Unless you try

to find me.

What is it?

He wants us to grab Adrien

on his return.

He's in Corsica.

I'd love to go down

to Corsica.

Anna's scrap of paper?

Amlie's drawings.

Nave style endowed with a certain potential.

Letters for her guy

that she hadn't sent.

Love letters.

"I understand your gesture.

It's a proof of love."

The stickup.

Why hadn't she posted

this deathless prose?

To be read in prison?

Not on.

They aren't the words

of a woman stabbing

someone in the back.

And Novick?

A heap of new insults.

It's a put-up job between

Adrien and his chick.

We know the addresses

he's given,

except for this one.

Le Pr-sur-Lamure?

What's that?

Their hide-out

after the bank job.

Martin, go round!

What's this?

What's this bullshit?

[Russian]

No thanks.

Are your reinforcements coming?

They're coming.

The policeman's refrain.

Are we gonna find the loot?

If it's not already gone.

What's that?

Why've you come?

It's nothing to do with your daughter.

What would you know?

Best you go home.

We should be Corsican.

There's something here!

Capitain, come here.

Stay there.

Look.

Robert, no!

Pull him back!

Nobody touch anything.

It was his daughter?

Yeah. Julie.

Disappeared. He'd been hoping

she was just a runaway.

The guy who did that

is a monster.

Is it one of Adrien's victims?

No way that it fits Adrien's profile.

He has a wife

and a disabled child.

That doesn't fit with a killer

There are always exceptions.

There are some connections.

He was living in the area when

Julie disappeared.

We found his DNA

on the map and the jacket.

That's not all.

What else?

There are 2 other maps

of areas way up in the mountains.

Maybe we'll find

other bodies.

We're not going to get

carried away

If it's a serial killer,

they'll want to bring in the Feds.

They'd want the file.

We have to get him now.

Listen, Claire.

They don't teach this

at police school,

but next time, this guy

doesn't get to get away.

Understood?

Quite understood.

Have a good day.

I don't want to hurt you.

What the f***

are you doing here?

You're going to help me

find Maurel.

Where are your guns?

I don't have any.

Don't take me for an idiot,

where are they?

They're there.

In the cupboard.

Go.

He always lived

in the area.

I met him 5 years ago.

I questioned him about

a girl from Dijon.

Sylvie Desme.

He'd been seen

talking to her.

I smelled a rat.

Maurel raised

too many questions.

He lied about details.

I sensed that he was

playing with me.

He was a bad one.

The girl was never found...

no body, no proof.

There were the other

disappearances.
