Warden! Warden!
Come on, Steph. Shit
Didier, four and five
Come on
Steph, come on
SERIES CREATED BY ALEX ANDRA CLERT
I can handle Djibril Mérini
You didn't need to cancel your trip
Unless your priorities have changed..
Sandrine and her child are my priority
If Mérini has something to tell us about Blanco, I want to hear it
In any case, I will go. I promise you
I said I didn't want to keep it. I meant it
Where are we at with him?
It's early days We're sussing him out
Cédric Gouzet is from the Cordon estate
He calls himself Blanco
A French lad, in his twenties, slicked back hair
He burnt his arm badly, not long ago
How did he burn it?
He's full of stories about his crimes
He brags like many others
I can get you his number
Sign me up and I'll do some digging
I don't think you get how this works
Give us the number first, then we'll see
We'll see if you're any good, or if you take us for fools
It's up to us
He means you have to prove yourself
But I just told you Blanco's name
Get us his mobile number and we'll talk
He's playing the bad cop
What's your problem?
What?
What's your problem?
There's no problem
We bust a gut trying to find Blanco
Now you're trying to cock it up
How much do you get from the shisha bar?
Does it make much money?
- Yeah - Really?
Do you get blokes coming in and puffing away all day?
I'm unsure about Djibril. I've a bad feeling
- Yeah? - Yeah
The print on the child's slipper and the burnt-out car might be Blanco's
Check if his name appears somewhere
Isn't it odd this guy wants to go on the books right away?
Who cares, Tintin?
It's about Sandrine Jaulin and her child, remember...?
OK
But when he fucks you over, don't come crying to me
Hello. Mr Stéphane Jaulin's room, please
- It's this one - Thanks
Hello
I'm Pierre Clément, Stéphane Jaulin's lawyer
Thanks
Hello, Stéphane
It was a close call. But at least you're still here
I know you're suffering But you must pull yourself together
OK?
You know, they often say.
That a lawyer's worst enemy is his client
I hope that isn't the case here
This business with the porn site and the second mobile..
It's cost us dearly
Judge Roban thinks you're a liar
if you've lied about that he'll think you've lied about it all
I must be sure you're not hiding anything from me
Do you understand?
Stéphane, listen to me
The suspect is the most vulnerable person in an inquiry
That's why I do this job, to help those who are most in need
Whatever you've done, I promise I won't let you down
Hang in there. Think of Léo
- Hello - Hello
Hello, Pierre. I'm up to date
The head prison warden called me. Take a seat
This is proof that my client is in no state to be remanded in custody
That's why I took the precaution of asking the prison staff.
To ensure that Mr Jaulin wouldn't be alone in his cell
I'm not that irresponsible
You saved his life then, did you?
In a way, yes
Didn't a psychiatrist see him?
He was meant to see him this afternoon.
But your client didn't give him time
Pierre, let me give you some advice
You take things to heart
You're too emotional with your client
You're losing perspective
I'm losing perspective?
You've always refused to consider Jaulin's innocence
You keep overlooking the truth in a bid to prosecute him
That's not fair. I've looked into his defence
But I see a man trapped by his lies who has dug a hole for himself.
Excuse me. You're bleeding
You have a nosebleed
OK We'll finish this later
Shall I call a doctor?
Why not call an ambulance while you're at it?
I tried to call you but I couldn't get through
Something came up Can I make another appointment?
Is nothing available sooner?
Which date?
I'll have a think and call you back. Thanks. Bye
Blanco doesn't have a record All we have is his license
But is it him?
I can't be sure. But his photo looks like the guy from the raid footage
If his arm is burned, as Djibril claims..
- We need to be sure - Indeed
Bring in Djibril. He may have his number
- Go ahead Ask him - I can't ask you to do it
They're here
lnspector Escoffier has managed this inquiry masterfully from the start
He'll outline what information we have currently
This is the home of Edgar Columbus also known as Papa..
A gypsy who's lived in Bagnolet for years
The shutters are down, but he's here with his family
This is an aerial shot. Behind the house is a second building, a foundry
Smoke is always coming out the chimney
This is where Papa and co transform the jewellery stolen by the kids..
Into hallmarked gold bullion ready to go back on the market
You're aware of the interest I have in this case
Will you be able to intervene soon?
I'd like to be there in person
But I'm away for three days from.
- Tomorrow evening - The morning would be perfect
Of course
We could invite some journalists
The public are very concerned by this type of delinquency..
Which any of us could fall prey to
It's vital to let them know that the police are doing their job
Is this feasible?
- Yes - Wait a moment
Yes. Wait a moment
Are you sure the raid will be noteworthy?
If the media come, we need to be sure that it's going to be impressive
The opposite would be counterproductive
It'll be spectacular
I guarantee it
Wont it, Escoffier?
Yes. We really think it could be like Ali Baba's cave
Perfect
That sounds like a plan
I hope you're sure They're expecting big things
Herville won't let you off if it fails
And neither will I
I'm touched by your words of encouragement
Look You have a visitor
- Blanco's mobile number - Come with me
Protect me or I'll take it back
Things have changed
There are rules before we can work together
There's paperwork, and questions to be answered
Give the number to the Chief lnspector
I'll explain everything
Check if this is all correct
I'll pass on your file and you'll be registered
Only me, my team -mates and the boss will know your identity
This is like being at the job centre
Can I have a pen? Here you go
How do I get paid?
You'll be paid per month depending on the tip-offs you give us
- The more you say, the more you get - And my fines?
I won't come to your rescue whenever you're in trouble I'm not God
You can reach me on this number at any time
Our partnership is a bit like a marriage
If you mess me around, it's over
What do you make of him?
He's a snitch
Something smells fishy, but you can't tell what
Jaulin tried to kill himself
He's dislocated his neck
He may well try again
- What about Blanco's mobile? - We'll soon be able to track it
Turn off here. Turn off
What do I do?
Turn left here
Blanco's mobile shows up here
I can see he's nearby. Look
Where is that bastard?
He must be around here
INCOMING CALL
Hello?
It's me. Are we still on for this evening?
No. I can't make it. Tomorrow?
No I can't make it. Tomorrow?
Your place or mine?
Your place
Will you get us some kebabs?
No. I'll get a pizza
- OK. Pizza. See you tomorrow - See you then
Where the hell is he?
Look. He's over there
Drop me off here
- Get a move on - I am
It's not him
Fuck
- Come on. Get in - Yeah, yeah
- Watch out - Yeah. I see it
- Where is he? - We have a signal
- He's here - So you say
We've had it
Where is this bastard?
Shit
Fuck
For fuck's sake
Oh, shit Shit
Sorry. We didn't see you.
I just fetched it from the garage and you've wrecked it
I'm sorry. We didn't see you pull out
Your husband ran into me. Where did he learn to drive?
Relax. It's just a dent in the bodywork
What do you mean "relax"? Do you know how much this bodywork cost?
Wait. Let's work this out
- I'll file a report. I'm busy - Calm down
My husband has lost his no-claims bonus
The insurers will be on our backs
Please.
- 500 Euros and I'll forget about it - 500 Euros!
- I'm being generous - That's just as well
- How much do you have on you? - I don't know, 30?
Are you mad? You can't be serious. There's a cash machine over there
- 200? - Baby, please..
OK. 300 and we'll say no more
Shit
This is fucking unbelievable
Oh, shit Shit
What's wrong now?
Do you think this can be repaired?
The whole part will need to be changed
Am I going mad? Didn't you see me?
Well no
It's fine. Just calm down a bit
There are schools round here. You could have hit a child
Sorry I'll pay attention next time Next time!
- I was a bit.. - Be careful
- We've cocked up with this idiot - Maybe, but we have his fingerprints
And his hand is burnt
And I got his number plate, "baby"
Hello, Ms Karlsson. I've been assigned to defend you
Is there a problem?
I was expecting a man
OK. I'll ask a male colleague I'm sure you'll have plenty of takers
OK. What were you arrested for?
Isn't it in my file?
This isn't your file
I didn't have time to collect it I came straight over
According to the charges...
You were discovered in possession of cannabis in your cell
150 grams. That's a fair amount
I told the police it wasn't mine
I haven't smoked in ages. It wrecks your gums, teeth, skin..
It was found in your cell
Why would I do that? I could be out on parole in a few days
I've seen the judge. I've done exactly as I was told
I've done a hairdressing course. I practise on the girls
I'm going to do a traineeship. I'd have to be a moron to ruin that
Not bad
Just avoid talking about morons
The judges prefer to decide for themselves who the morons are
You just need to explain where the pot came from
I don't know
No I've no idea
A girl did it to piss me off or get her own back
I see
A hair dye malfunction.?
Professional confidentiality means you can tell me anything
In fact, you must tell me
I'm your only chance of dodging this mess
I'll decide what we will and won't say at the hearing
So, I'll ask you again Where did the pot come from?
A friend of mine deals
That's all
The guards were on her back so she asked me to hide her gear
But that same evening two women tried to escape
So, they searched all the cells and I got caught
Tough luck
Story of my life
I won't snitch, so you can't do anything for me, I suppose?
I've three good ones
Compare them with the one found on the slipper
Yeah. I'm coming
Yeah?
The Clio doesn't belong to Blanco
It's a Travelcity rental car, the company Jaulin works for
- Really? - Yeah
Jaulin's name keeps cropping up I don't know what to make of him
It can't be a coincidence
Jaulin and Blanco know each other
Jaulin must know the raiders, too
Why would Blanco hire a car in town?
Why would he file a report for a dent? He could be caught
He's not that thick
You don't get it. He hasn't rented the car He works at Travelcity
Blanco has worked at Travelcity for over a year
Jaulin was working there when Blanco started
That's where they must have met
Jaulin worked at the head office in Nanterre. They might not have met
Let's cut to the chase
Jaulin and Blanco have the same employer
Head office or not that's the key element. Yes or no?
- Yes or no? - Well, yes
So what's wrong?
From the start I've found it hard to believe..
That Jaulin killed his wife and daughter
When I look at him and his son, something doesn't fit
It fits perfectly
The thugs need rental cars for the raids
Blanco spots Jaulin at work. He becomes the gang's go-between
Either they put pressure on Jaulin to get him to work with them..
And it gets messy...
Or Blanco and Jaulin become mates
We've wondered how Jaulin managed to move the bodies by himself
This is our answer
Blanco gave him a hand because he helped murder his wife and child
Forensics will see if his print matches the one on the slipper
Or Jaulin went berserk, killed his wife and daughter.
And called Blanco for help
Or he'd been in league with the raiders for a while
They helped him cut so he could continue to flog cars to them
Do you want more?
Just pull the threads and the case will unravel
Did you check if rental cars were used in the raids?
Were any reported stolen?
Nothing came up
I'm not going to do your jobs for you
Pull your fingers out and look into this link between Jaulin and Blanco
This case is ready to be plucked, like a ripe fruit
Let's take charge here Let's gird our loins
Fromentin Gilou, let's make some headway
- What do we do about Roban? - What about Roban?
If he knows Jaulin and Blanco worked together, he'll arrest Blanco
We'll lose our chance to catch the rest of the gang
Berthaud, you asked for Roban You got him You can deal with him
Lads, let's be ready tomorrow to catch Papa Columbus
We can't cock this up in front of the Commissioner
Fromentin Gilou, gird those loins Let's do this Let's go
Let's go
Wakey-wakey
- Hello - Hello
Thanks
- Did you leave your ID? - Yes
Hello?
It's me. How are you?
You didn't answer any of my phone calls
I didn't want to impede your campaign
Come off it
I cocked up. Let me wallow in self-pity
- I'll see you soon - Ms Karlsson, these were left for you
You only lost a case. It happens all the time
Wait Can I call you back later?
No. You'll mooch around and never call me
OK. I'm coming over
I'M IM PRESSED. I WANT TO SEE YOU
- Keep them - Thanks. That's kind
That should be fine
Don't you agree Antoine?
Of course
What are you doing?
I'm working
I thought it was a drugs charge
The girl got five years for arson She's spent two years in prison
She and a friend set fire to some girl's letterbox.
Some sort of a lovers' tiff
The fire spread to the whole building
Eight people died of asphyxiation
Shit. What goes through these poor girls' heads? it's complete idiocy
That's the reaction of a prosecutor You're defence now
Girls like her always end up back in prison
I don't think so
I like this girl. I want to get her out
This pot stuff means Laetitia's parole is under threat
If I fail tomorrow, she'll have to serve at least two years
And that will ruin her life
One mistake shouldn't stop you from turning your life around
Pierre stop. Let me work. You're distracting me. Get off
I'm bored
Then read a book
- Are you coming soon? - Yes
- Don't go to sleep - I'll wait up
Fuck
Yes
OK I'm coming
I'm coming
Shit
Fuck
- Be careful with your little bump - It's fine
- OK, lads? - Yeah
- You look half-asleep - I slept badly
- Good to go? - Wait
OK
This is Laure. All teams go
Police

On your knees
Laure! Is everything OK?
- Tintin! What happened? - Nothing I just killed the dog
- I'll check out back - Pass the handcuffs
Come on
OK? It's clear
Here we go
Laure it's Gilou It's OK. I've found the cave
Those scales don't work
Don't worry. We'll weigh them back at the station
So?
I bought that gold It's mine
Everything that goes on here is legal
- OK. This is for you - Thanks
This is for you
You get nothing - you killed his dog
And this..
Is for the Chief Inspector
Thanks
This case was expertly managed
Well done Miss Berthaud Well done, lads
- Well done, everyone - Thanks
Well done. You have a strong team here
Commissioner
We have some strapping lads here
Can you tell us what happened?
People were screaming I saw them taking a woman away
They dragged her towards a van
Tell him to call me
Then I saw the police had killed the dog
- I'll call you back - Although he was still tied up
He used to bark
But he would never bite
Kids were crying. Even we were scared
- The Commissioner? - He was on a moment ago
Why the armed police? They weren't terrorists
I don't believe it. Those arseholes focused on the fucking dog
How was the Commissioner's interview?
- He was very good - I thought so. But I don't know him
If our gypsy pals don't call the RSPCA.
This case is in the bag
Well done, everyone
Well done Berthaud. We'll get our dividends soon
How long have you been an inspector?
I told the committee about you
Your promotion's in the pipeline
Yes Come in
The print on the child's slipper isn't Blanco's
- Are you sure? - 100% sure
Tom get something from the wiretaps - Blanco got a call from some bloke
A new mobile number
- Keep me in the loop - Of course
- Hello - Cut the crap
You never reply to my messages. I always call you
- Relax - Who do you think you are, you prick?
Do you think you can string me along?
- Did you see the guy or not? - Yeah. I saw him
- His cousin only arrives tomorrow - That's what you said last week
What can I do? He keeps changing his mind
On my mother's life. He's up for this - as is Elvls
Listen carefully. Set your watch
Tomorrow is the day after today
If things don't happen tomorrow. Your ma won't be the one in trouble
You listen to me Have I ever let you down?
If you don't trust me. Find someone else to sort this out
Tomorrow The usual time and place. Be there
Who is that guy?
I don't know his voice
They're up to something
it may be the gang that carried out the ram -raids
Wait. 0034 - that's Spain. Blanco's trying to call there
Why Spain?
Hold on. I'll find out
Tomorrow The usual time and place. Be there
I don't know that bloke
But a guy in Saint-Ouen calls himself Elvis
A former army munitions specialist
He was thrown out of the army for stealing detonators
He moved on to armed robberies
I heard he'd left France
Find out who he is and where he's gone
OK
Do you box?
Yeah, a bit. Just to keep in shape
At 20 I was the French amateur champion. I almost went pro
The Maldini brothers wanted to sign me
But I came off my bike and fucked up my knee
End of story
- Do you still box for fun? - In the last year, yes
I'm a lame duck. But I still have a good jab
At the station they have a boxing area
Do you fancy having a go?
Are you serious?
Don't you want a free pass to smack a copper?
Come on
III smash your face in
Let me state that my client had just been transferred
Her new cell wasn't searched before the transfer
The cannabis may have been concealed there before my client arrived
Furthermore. I'm surprised to hear..
That no blood or urine samples were taken..
In order to check whether she had. In fact, consumed any cannabis
Let me now turn to the packet in which the drugs were found..
From which no one deemed it necessary to lift any prints
This negligence is compounded by the fact..
That the packet in question was then..
"Misplaced" by prison staff
Your Worship, look at her
This is a young woman..
Who didn't cause any trouble during her sentence
She was never involved in any sort of trafficking
She took steps to prepare for her release by taking a course..
And has a promising rehabilitation programme lined up..
As well as an offer of employment
Her parole was imminent
The Parole Board only had to set the date for her release
Why jeopardise all of that for 150 measly grams?
If you find my client guilty..
Any hope of her returning to a decent life will be destroyed
That's why, Your Worship.
I ask you to fully acquit Miss Laetitia Ribeiro
Thank you
Continue the surveillance?
When did you identify Blanco?
Three days ago
You identified a possible accomplice of Jaulin..
And took it upon yourselves to put him under surveillance?
Yes, Your Honour
Had I not asked you here to discuss the case, you wouldn't have told me
We wanted to be sure before we spoke to you
We've only just learned they're both in on it
- So, I.. - No, no
What we do is based on trust
I know..
I didn't expect such disloyalty from you
That's not good
Marianne issue a warrant..
For the immediate arrest of Cédric Gouzet aka Blanco
Once caught, he'll be placed in custody..
And we'll compare his prints..
To those found on the slipper and the vehicle from the raid
You Honour..
We already have his prints
Excuse me?
We got them during our surveillance
- We checked. They're not a match - How did you get them?
It was a stroke of luck. By chance he hit our car
The print could be an accomplice's. That's why we didn't arrest him
Who's in charge of this inquiry?
You, Your Honour
You'll arrest Blanco immediately
His prints may not be a match, but he works at the same firm as Jaulin
I want to question them before Jaulin tries to kill himself again
Is that clear?
That will be all Thank you
Mr Denis Legrain..
The court finds you guilty..
And sentences you to a two-month suspended sentence
Miss Laetitia Ribeiro...
the court has decided to acquit you
Thank you. Thank you
Mr Kader Moumi..
The court finds you guilty..
And sentences you to four months in prison
You will remain in detention
Vincent. Wait. I..
I need to speak to you
It's a bit late for that
I had to hear it from someone else
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
I don't know
The kid you hid from me
Was it Gilou?
- Did Gilou tell you? - How could you hope to keep it quiet?
After all we've been through, don't I deserve better?
I didn't want to tell you until..
In fact, I don't know what to do
You should have thought of that
- You can't turn back now - Great
Good luck. This bloke's a real rotten apple
Wait
Who are you talking about? Djibril?
I see..
How many informants have you pinched?
Fucking hell
Some family this is!
Forget it
Is everything OK?
Can we get to work?
The Crime Unit knows of an Elvis from the Creil gang
He was the only one not to be caught by police
He ended up in Spain
He still has contacts in Paris. Blanco may be one of them
Does Blanco acquire the explosives for them?
Or just the munitions expert.
After the cashpoints, maybe they wanted to step it up..
And target an armoured car
Well?
We've found the mobile which called Blanco
He hasn't called anyone yet
I think he keeps his phone switched off
He only turns it on now and then to check his messages
He was still in Asniéres in the same area as before. Look
Shit. It's so stupid to arrest Blanco now
Wait. Sorry Blanco's trying to call Spain again
That's the eighth time today
Well? Any news?
We're about to identify the man who leaned on Blanco
He's still in Asnières
If we arrest Blanco we lose him
We won't be able to catch the gang red-handed
I decide when to make the arrest. That gives you a bit more time
- Thanks - But Roban will notice any delay
But if the prints match one of the two raiders, he can't reproach us
Are you tracking Blanco's car?
- Not yet - What?
Between his pad in Cordon and his job, we haven't had a chance
You haven't had a chance? Get on with it
The raiders are a bonus
Our priority is the double murder We can't cock it up
Is that clear?
Anyone listening?
Yeah
If you don't tell me you've understood, how am I meant to know?
Is he having his period?
Thanks
- Can I leave? - Not yet, Stéphane
Fuck
How are you today?
Last time. I wanted to discuss something, but you weren't up to it
A print found on your daughter's slipper..
Matched one found on a car used in a raid
- Can you explain that? - No
Stéphane, please try
The raiders often use rental cars
Do you recall arguing with any clients?
Would any of them want to get back at you?
I don't get what you want me to say I don't mix with raiders or thugs
- I'm not involved in that stuff - You need to try
How can I help you?
- Do you hear me? - I want to go
You need to help me help you
I need to see my son. I just want to give him a hug
I want to see Léo. I beg you
I don't want to stay here. I'm tired
At 15 weeks, she's passed the legal limit in France
But as she can't go abroad she was wondering..
If you had connections that could get her an abortion pill on the quiet.?
That's right
Does your friend know what a foetus looks like at 15 weeks?
It's about 15cm
It weighs 130g
That's two clementines
it has hands and little feet which move
Basically it's no longer an egg
She won't get rid of it with a pill
Why won't your friend go through with the pregnancy?
At this stage.
If she still doesn't want it at the end.
She can give up the baby
I'll tell her
Thanks
Fucking hell
Daddy, it's me
I made something amazing in my art lesson today
I can't tell you. It's a surprise for you
I hope you're not home too late
This thing won't keep for long
Mummy said I can wait up for you
Call to say when you'll be back Big kiss Daddy
What's he playing at?
No. It's fine, thanks
Are you all right, mate?
Come down. I've got you something
Hello, mate. How are you?
- How are you? - Are you OK?
How are you? I'm fine
- Do you love it? - Oh yeah
- I love the colour - I told you!
Do you want to try it?
Well?
Classy, isn't she?
Fuck Where is he? It's the ideal time. No one's there
- Where have you been? - Sorry
The tracker was broken. I had to go back for another one
Come and see. It's the red Clio
Go on Get lost. Get lost
I don't believe it, in two hours we haven't seen a soul and now this!
Bloody hell
A little souvenir..
That turns me on. We've got it on camera
It's steamy
- it's really hotting up - Where's your man?
He's two streets from here, with his girl
JP, do you copy?
Affirmative
What's going on?
Nothing's happening The bedroom light's still on
Shit. Look. The Asnières bloke is calling Blanco
Pick up. you bastard
- What's Blanco playing at? - Pick up
You've half an hour - not a minute longer
Why won't he pick up?
Oh no. Look. Someone is up there
As long as those two are at it, that bloke will watch
This could go on for hours
They're moving
- They've gone - Go on
Quickly
Blancos just left
He's going to his car
Forget about the tracker. Our friend has left
Go on Drive
This is risky. He's going to spot us
INCOMING CALL
The bloke from Asnières
Pick up, for fuck's sake
Hello, brother Where the fuck are you?
- Banging your auntie - What?
You're pissing me off I'm not going to suck your dick llke everyone else
Do you want to stay in my gang?
You can shove your gang. You're not the only raider In Paris
You're in deep shit, you know
You're the one in deep shit. Without me, your plan is done for

That's something
Great

Fuckwit
Where's the bastard gone?
We've lost him
He's there. He's over there
He ran the lights, that bastard. Shit

Hi We didn't have any joy
