Mesrine: Part 2- Public Enemy N° 1
Porte de Clignancourt September 2nd 1979
Go away!
- Sir, Inspector, only one question... - There's nothing that will help him.
- How many of you were there? - Maybe 30, not more.
- How long have you been following them for? - You know all details...
- I'll inform you about everything. - Couldn't you make the mistake?
No, I absolutly disagree.
- Did the operation go without any complications? - Yes. Two teams worked on it,
detectives and guys from command center.
One last question...
Open the doors. We've seen him to carry the weapons. He had two grenades.
We fired a warning shots... He didn't want to give it up. We had no other choice.
We would lose him if he managed to get to the circle.
Jojo! Bring the stretchers!
We already seen everything important. Let's go.
Hold on.
Year 1973...
...thursday...
...eight...
...of march.
Testimony...
...of Mesrine, Jacques.
Hey, you clown. What do you think would break first, handcuffs or radiator?
My last name is Merine not Mesrine!
Like the name "Miromesnil", it is with "s" but you don't pronounce it.
That's enough Mesrine! Let's talk about your friend,
- Grangier Ardouin. - I don't know him.
Seriously, I don't know him.
- Mister Jacques. Welcome. - Hey, what's going on?
- Looks like you gained a few. - Are you crazy? I'm on diet for last three months.
- Really? Let me see. - You see?
- Armed to the teeth. - Yeah, like it's supposed to be.
Clear.
- Wait! Where are you going? - Come on, one more right here.
On the floor! All of you on the floor!
On the floor!
Nobody moves! Lie down!
I said don't move!
Put all money in the bag! Hurry up! Everybody stays down!
Hurry! Hurry! Let's go!
- Good girl. - We're outta here! We're outta here!
The bank teller... ok she recognized me... sure, because i didn't have a mask on... so?
- She identified your accomplice too. - I don't give a shit.
First, i don't know any of them and secondly, my buddies always wear masks.
Maybe she eats too many carrots.
We caught you too easy.
Freeze! Don't move! Hold him!
- You're confessing to the robbery and the murder attempt. - Yes, I am.
- But you are not confessing to the kidnapping. - Why should I admit something
that I haven't done.
It's completly logical I won't admit something I haven't done.
We'll take you to the court in Compiegne.
You'll be locked up... for a very long time.
In three months I won't be there. You wanna bet?
- What again? - I have to go to bathroom.
- Hold it. - I am sick! Am i supposed to shit my pants in front of judge?
- Mesrine, move. - Sure.
Am i going to wipe my ass with my foot or what?
Hold on.
Now you can.
And what about you? What do you want? Are you gay or you want to smell my shit? Let me shit!
Am I supposed to shit right here? Loosen up the cuffs. I won't run.
Ahh, what a relief.
Hurry!
Now i feel better.
Mister Mesrine, stand here...
Your honor, by the law i shouldn't have the handcuffs on me.
It's the violation of my rights.
It's sounds very funny when you talk about the law.
- For your defense you won't need to use your hands. - Your honor...!
Enough! That's enough Mesrine!
Everyone on the ground! Let's go!
Unlock my handcuffs! Hurry! Fat ass next to the wall, let's go!
Nobody moves!
Get out of there!
Stay on the floor! You get up! Move!
On the floor!
Hands up! On the floor!
Everybody with your face to the floor!
Let's go!
Quickly after him!
This won't help your case, Mesrine.
- Don't shoot! - Stay over there!
Put the gun down! Move!
- Hurry or i kill him! - Easy, take it easy.
All of you back off!
- get out of here! - move, go after him!
Go! Go!
- Why did you let the judge go? - Move!
Go faster!
- Jacques! - Watch out!
Hand me the gun. Back up or i'll shoot!
I said BACK UP!
I'll kill you, you moron!
Good bye, good luck!
Robert caught a bullet. Can you take it out?
I don't know, I have to take a look.
Here.
- Jacques, I have a news from your family. - What news?
Your father is sick... Come, I'll take a look.
Shit!
Jacques Mesrine may have not commited his most serious crime ever, yesterday,
but definitely his boldest.
At first, he chose the place of his escape.
After being arrested in march of this year, Mesrine said he doesn't agree with the sentence.
He knew that his appeal hearing will be held in Compiegne court.
When they arrived he asked the guards a permission to go to the bathroom.
He knew his accomplices hid the gun in a toilet
without being noticed by the guards. They didn't even realized and Jacques Mesrine was armed.
He yelled: "I kill the judge... " - That's lie! I've never said that.
...all french cops now know
that Jacques Mesrine must be considered as "The Public Enemy Number 1"
Number 1. Number 1!
Hello.
Dad. Dad it's me. Can you see? It's me Jacques.
- Jacques. - How do you feel? - You came...
I thought i'll pay you a little visit since all banks are closed.
Fool.
- You came... Have you seen your daughter yet? - No, not yet.
I wasn't the best son, but my father was proud of me.
That's the way i was born. Forgive me.
That's the way i am.
- It's my fault. - No, no.
What ever happens you always will be her father.
I know.
Like you always will be my son.
Yes.
Forgive me, please forgive me.
- I think you should go. - Yes, i will.
Except children, mother and friends no one else is here.
He is not such an idiot to come here.
Paris, september, 1973
- What"s that? Remembrance from the fight? - No, it's from boxing.
Oh, so you're a boxer.
Michel is a boxer too.
- Do you know how to drive? - Yeah.
We're planning a small job. Are you interested?
Stolen car have been reported. It is a silver Renault 16,
license plate number is 7791YL75. - We spotted the reported vehicle.
Unit... we got the car.
Shit!
The street is not an ashtray, sir. We'll have to give you a fine.
Get out of the car and show us your papers, please.
I'm waiting. Get out of the car!
Don't resist! Put the hands behind your back! Quickly!
Shit.
Move out of my way.
Stop! Stop!
Get out of the car! Open the door! Hurry!
Get out!
Don't move!
Go already!
Fast!
Step on it!
Faster! Faster!
Go!
Let's leave!
Out of way!
Come on, train is here!
Move! Quick! Jump in!
Nobody moves! Shut up! Sit down!
Shit!
Who are you starring at? Stare at floor!
I knew he'd fuck it up. He's an asshole! They almost got us because of him!
You're always the smartest one and i'm an idiot. And now leave me alone!
Alone? What are you talking about?! Cops got him! Now that moron is blabbing to them!
Listen to me! I only choose those who knows how to keep their mouth shut.
Go fuck yourself!
Always!
If you're so sure about it then you'll have to do it without me.
I'm done Mesrin!
- Then just leave! - I'm gone!
You get out of here too! Come on! Get out!
Inspector Broussard!
- Are we going to wait any longer? - I'll let you know.
- My guys are on the roof for 8 hours already and it's raining. - I see. We have a plenty of time.
Moron.
Open! The police.
The Police! The building is surrounded!
The police! Open up!
- The house is surrounded! - What? What's going on?
- Who is it? What do you want from me? - Open or we kick the door!
Go fuck yourselves! I belong to Baader's!
I'll blow it all up! Long live revolution!
Quickly, get dressed! Move yourself!
Of course... Danke schon.
That's enough Jacques, you lost.
- Who do you think you are talking to me like that? - Robert Broussard, police inspector.
Aha, Broussard, the one with the moustache like a sailor. All newspapers write about you.
Exactly.
- Let's end this circus. Give up! - I don't care!
How can I trust you? Slip your identity card through the door so I can see it.
- So you could shoot me? - Or you me, when i try to pick it up?
You're right.
So then what? I'm giving you my word, you can trust me.
I won't fire. Come on Broussard, don't hesitate.
- Ok Jacques. - I'm waiting.
Catch.
So what?
- Broussard? - yes?
- I have two requirements. - I hope they're reasonable...
First one is that you won't touch the girl who's here with me.
And second one, I need 20 minutes to get something in the order.
Do you have any other wish? Would you like a car with a driver?
If I want to maybe that too. You are not in position to negotiate, Broussard.
So? I'm waiting!
So what is it!
You got 20 minutes, Jacques. 20 minutes!
Jacques, what should i do?
Answer me, Jacques. Can i help you with something?
- What are they going to do with me? - Bring me the matches from the table.
- I'm scared. - Bring the matches!
Here you go.
They'll arrest me. You think they put me in jail? I don't want to go to jail...
- Calm down. Easy. - How can i calm down, they will...
Calm down!
Are you finished? Are you calm?
- What will they do with me? - Don't worry. Everything will be all right.
Just easy, quiet...
What are you waiting for, Mesrine? What are you trying to do over there?
We gave you 20 minutes not 40.
Broussard, are you brave enough to come in here without a gun and bulletproof vest?
- Why is that? - I want to know, if you can do it.
So, are you coming in or are you scared?
Hey! Broussard?
Well, ok then.
See? I took the vest down and put gun away.
And what about you? Do you have a courage to come out without the gun?
As you can see, I do.
Hey you the artist, take a picture of us together. The big glory moment of Inspector Broussard!
If you insist.
Didn't you wonder why i didn't kill you and your buddies?
We cops do not wonder, but we act.
Just because the woman was here. Just because of that... that she was here.
Next time there won't be a woman nor champaigne. Just two of us.
To our next meeting.
Prison de la Santé Paris, 1973.
Guard!
- What do you need Jacques? - What kind of guy is he, that Pinochet?
- He's Chilean general. - The general in Chile?
The whole page about some Pinochet but no a word about me!
- There was a coup. - A coup? Bring me the typewriter.
- I want to write something! - Alright, I try.
Go!
Pinochet. Pinochet!
County jail...
" DEATH INSTINCT" What do you think it is?
- This is my book. - This is not a book, it is the death sentence.
You have a trial in two months and you're publishing a book in which you're confessing to committing 40 murders.
At this moment all cops in France are studying your book.
And after they finish, they use everything from your memoirs in a indictment against you.
- Well in that case they have to be retarded. - What do you mean?
- This is not the truth? - Audience loves the plot, the action...
- And? - And i don't think that jurry will believe
that i am such an idiot, that would confess to something that would put me on gilotene.
And in the eyes of the nation I'm a Star.
You entertain the nation but at the same time you horrify it.
And as far as they can push the fear by not letting you go free, they won't.
So middle-class, such a funny honest word.
They allowed you a visit.
- I grew up. - I see.
- I cannot notice. - I'm not a child anymore.
- You really are beautiful. - Thanks.
- And how are... your brothers? - Boris and Bruno are doing fine,
they're acting like a fools otherwise nothing is new.
- That's weird. - Yes.
- Didn't he ride his bike with some punks. - Do you want play on a father...?
- I didn't come here to be lectured. - Alright, just be careful.
- When you come back home? - It won't be that soon.
Honey i'm sorry... i'd rather to meet you under different circumstances.
At least i know where i can always find you.
I miss you.
Jacques Merine, are you still denying contact with Michele Ardouin?
I already said I don't know him. I do not know him!
Michel Ardouin stand up so Mesrine can see you better.
I'm telling you i don't know him. I would remember that nose for sure.
Do you admit that you took chief judge as a hostage during your escape?
I've hid behind the justice as any decent citizen would.
What's wrong about that?
Nothing, if your escape doesn't change to kidnaping.
Sir, in clothes from 101 dalmatians, escape is everyone's bounden duty and the right,
and it is a business too,
and so i wouldn't just talk in the wind, ladies and gentlemen, in my hand i have a key. Can you see?
And do you know what kind of key it is? It is by a coincidence a key for my handcuffs.
Just look! And do you know how did i get ahold of it?
I simply bought it from my guard for a half million of old franks.
Sirs journalists, dear jury,
this is your system, which you and prosecutor are so defending it.
We are honored by his presence. inspector Broussard,
who's sitting right next to journalists. Inspector! Look at it yourself.
I'm done.
Tell us Mr. Mesrine, why would you need such a big arsenal of weapons we found at your place?
Your honor, how should i explain it...
Since i was a kid, this unexplainable feeling of vulnerability is following me.
You should thank me...
I analyze murderers, i help cops, i provide work for the doctors at the emergency rooms.
Before us we have a picture of nice looking man.
But he is a gangster, who doesn't hurt any one,
he's even gentle to his victims...
All this is just a pretence, a mask covering a bestial animal.
They don't exist good gangsters, there are only gangsters and nothing more...
and before you is standing one.
Mesrine, you start shooting without thinking, when you see that situation is getting out of your hands.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear jury, you're deciding today about the justice
and you will bring the sentence.
The society which doesn't punish criminals, cannot be considered righteous.
So I am the public enemy nbr. 1?! What?
This is all bullshit.
I am the enemy of the government, the banks, yes, it is right and accurate to je pøesné a výstižné.
I steal from them, that's why they don't like me,
but when i steal from banks, i don't feel like i'm breaking the law.
I'm stealing from a bigger thief.
Do you want to put me in jail, throw out the key and forget about me?!
Go ahead, just stick me in there!
But remember what i said, i'll run away from there. I promise you that!
The jury with eight votes found guilty and sentenced...
Pierre Vondorin to 5 years on probation.
Michel Grangier to 7 years in prison.
Michel Ardouina to 10 years in prison.
Accused Jacques Mesrine to 20 years in prison with maximum security.

- Where you been? You could say something. - Jean-Luc, it's my honor and pleasure,
to introduce to you princess Annie and princess Christiane.
- Good evening. - My cousin Jean-Luc,
- as you can see, he's armed. - Yeah.
Take a seat next to him and surround him by your warm and charm.
You see, how badly he needs it?
- Is it real? - Take your hands off it!
- So, do we begin? - Bruno, come here for a moment.
My princesses, excuse me for a moment. Wait here, i'll be right back.
- What's up? - What kind of whores are they?
- François, they're not whores. - Then who are they?
They're two charming students, who wants to have fun and we gonna help them with it.
We have to inform you that Public enemy nbr. 1 is still free.
- Wait. - What for?
- We don't have a time for this. - François, sexual passion...
is natural human necessity.
- I didn't have a girl for 5 years... - Do what i do, devote yourself to sport.
...two other prisoners ran away with Mesrine,
one was shot and the other succeded to escape.
Escapees are armed. They managed to obtain the gun,
which helped them to remove all witnesses during the jailbreak.
- François, don't spoil my plans. - Go fuck yourself!
We're gonna go. Your friend doesn't like our presence.
Wait, wait! Come to me! François, shit, you frightened them.
Turn the tv on.
- Don't trust journalists, they babble nonsense. - I think i'll take a walk.
Come on, again? François! François!
- That was you on tv, wasn't it? - You know the answer.

You never know with these guys, corporal.
Be careful, especially the shorter one, because he is very dangerous.
