Come in
Take the handcuffs off, please
Thank you
I see you still don't have a lawyer
I haven't chosen one yet
Have a seat
Zacharie Gabaï...
do you know him?
Who is he?
He's an armed robber who knew Sandrine at boarding school
They stayed in touch
Sandrine even helped him with a few robberies
Did he kill Sandrine and Lucie?
We can't yet be sure of that
He's currently on the run. We're looking for him
Is that all you had to say?
No. There's something else
I organised a test...
of Sandrine's, Lucie's and your DNA
The results may surprise you
it appears Lucie is not your daughter
Whose daughter is she?
Zacharie Gabaï's
- Did you never suspect? - No
But why would he kill them?
There's a lot we still don't know
Did you want to say something?
When Lucie was little...
a parcel arrived on her birthday
When Sandrine saw where it came from...
she threw it in the bin
- Where was it from? - A prison
Which one?
I don't remember
What year was this?
Lucie was three or four...
so it must have been 2010 or 2011
Jean-Luc, check if Zacharie Gabaï was incarcerated...
from 2010 to 2011
Can I go back to my cell?
I need you to sign your statement
Please, sit down
SERIES CREATED BY ALEX ANDRA CLERT
What's going on?
- What do they want? - It's Alfonso
One of his scooters knocked down a kid...
who died on the spot
One of our trackers was on the scooter
They traced it back
The mechanic said he worked for Gilou
- Will he get off lightly? - I wouldn't get your hopes up
Escoffier is their fall guy
He didn't get those trackers by himself
We were all in on it, even you
Don't give me that shitty look. I know what I have to do
- Servier - I'll call you back
Will the union help him?
- I've sent a list of lawyers - What about the national office?
I called . They said they would see how it goes
- This is Escoffier, after all - Meaning?
The union isn't going to just wade in and help
Gilou is all too happy to come to us when he's in trouble...
but he hasn't paid his dues in two years
All things considered, I can see why
Close the door
They're going to give him the elbow...
no doubt about it
We're all he's got
Roban, enlighten me...
do you take me for a fool or have you lost your mind?
Sorry?
I personally ask the Vice-President...
to let you assist Judge Mendy with her case...
and what do you do?
You go and search Tarek Ziani's home without warning me
Prosecutor, Mr Ziani is...
I've had a terrible morning, thanks to you
The Foreign Office is furious about the Ziani case
Just wait for the shit to hit the fan
I'm used to such things
I know you're thick-skinned, but this isn't about you
it's Mendy's head on the block
if you don't calm her down, she's the one who'll suffer
Does Jaulin realise that Sandrine was involved in the cash machine raids?
Not exactly
Zach must be linked to Sandrine and Lucie's deaths
Maybe, but if Zach is the father, that opens up other possibilities...
like revenge, for instance
We can't rule out Zach just because he's the father
But the prints on the slipper and the car weren't his
That means there was an accomplice to the crime...
who we haven't yet identified
Laure, do you have any news on Zach?
Have you located him?
Not yet
But we're working on it
- What's her name? - Carole Mendy
Carole Mendy. So, in light of the conclusions...
Yes?
Joséphine. Take a seat
So, now that Ziani can't leave the country...
nothing can be signed abroad
Jacques, check this won't ruin the new Luxembourg investment
Catherine, likewise for his property deals
The other problem is Ziani's diary
it was seized during the search
There's an envelope in that diary
it came from us. Ziani needs it back immediately
What's in it?
Financial documents that have nothing to do with the case
Correspondence between a lawyer and a client is unseizable
You can ask for the envelope to be taken away and sealed
Yes, and that would only draw attention to the envelope
if Ziani didn't object during the search...
then normally, they won't give it back
- Did you say "normally"? - Yes
Ronan, we don't use that word when it comes to Ziani
Joséphine Karlsson, any idea as to how we can get this envelope?
Sorry. I didn't introduce our new colleague, Joséphine Karlsson
She's here to help our client out of his predicament
So, can anyone get me that envelope?
Sorry, but...
why not just ask the judges for the diary?
Why would they give it to you?
I don't know. Maybe if we asked nicely...
Unless that's another word we can't use
Very well
Be my guest
OK. Thank you all
I'll see you at 6:00pm, when we'll decide what to tell the press
Why introduce me? I haven't agreed to work for you, yet
Why else would you be here?
And talented people are best when caught off-guard
Did you see how quick off the mark you were?
No lengthy procedures or appeals to the court
That's why I asked you to join us
You think differently
Let me know about the diary
Mathilde, show Joséphine her office...
and take care of her, please
Tricking some lowlife into doing a robbery is dodgy enough...
but now Gilou's in the shit, too, I'm really worried
Gilou needs our help
Once we nab Zach they'll leave him alone
The disciplinary committee will stitch him up, Zach or no Zach
No, if we nail a big case they'll back off
Do you have a better idea?
Why didn't Gilou turn up?
I was stuck there with Bensimon
Look, call Bensimon and say the buyer wants to meet him tonight
- it's his last chance - Will Gilou turn up?
- No, Tintin will - Why not Gilou?
Because he's doing something else. OK?
This whole thing stinks
Look, just call Bensimon. Tell him to be there tonight
And stop moaning. All right?
Prick
I don't like the way he talks to me
We're all on edge
isn't that what you meant? Tintin?
I flew off the handle
Call us when you have news
Yeah. I will
- I don't like him - I think the feeling's mutual
How long have you known Serge Alfonso?
Five, six years
He sold me a car, we got on, and we stayed in touch
- Is he an informant? - No, an acquaintance
Who you use as an informant?
Yeah, sometimes. Lots of kids get their bikes fixed at his garage
Talking of bikes...
this one knocked down a child in Pantin
it didn't have any original parts
it was rigged to do 120km/h...
so the kid was thrown 60 metres and died instantly
That's terrible
But I don't see how I'm involved
We found a tracker on it
Look familiar?
It's not one of ours, I can tell you that
- Then where's it from? - No idea
Ours are crap, but not that crap
Let me quote Alfonso
"lnspector Escoffier came to my garage...
'...with trackers like the one you showed me
"He asked me to fit them on scooters to catch a gang...
'...operating in the 19th arrondissement"
Your unit solved a similar case, recently
You even made the papers
OK. Even if Alfonso is telling the truth, so what?
We're allowed to use trackers - every unit does
Besides, I didn't knock that kid over, did I?
Using non-regulation trackers is prohibited...
and so is forcing someone to sell stolen, tracked scooters
Alfonso said I forced him to sell stolen scooters?
He's perfectly capable of cooking up his own stupid plans
True
His garage is full of stolen scooters, and he admits it
Well, then
But he says more
"I had decided to stop this illegal activity...
'...but Escoffier made me continue, and threatened to arrest me...
'...if I didn't fit trackers on the scooters...
'...because he needed quick results in a jewellery theft case"
Handling stolen goods and invasion of privacy...
Not true
You've swallowed Alfonso's story. Now it's time you listened to me
We'll take a break, first
- Would you like some water? - I'm fine, thanks
You said you had nearly found Gabaï last tine
Bringing in the Crime Unit won't speed things up
Let my team do their job
I can't keep waiting and you know it. I'm getting heat from on high
- I need progress - You'll get it
You have until Monday. Not a day more
The disciplinary committee is questioning one of my men
lnspector Escoffier
Yes, so I heard
Could you get them to ease off a little?
I doubt the committee will have much sympathy for your inspector
Escoffier was doing his job
Just as the Commissioner asked
it was a tall order, and he achieved it
You can't do that without bending a few rules
I'm not sure the Commissioner would agree
Your man crossed the line. Now, no one will want to get involved
- lncidentally, did you know? - Did I know what?
That he was messing around with trackers and a shady mechanic
No more than you did
Focus on the investigation, Herville
Think of your future
You've a chance to come back into the fold
Don't waste it
Ms Karlsson
- Hello, Your Honour - How can I help?
By returning certain items taken during the search on Ziani's home
You should ask my colleague. She's in charge of the case
I won't lie. This is quite urgent and I'm worried she'll drag her heels
But I know you don't work that way
These documents have no bearing on the case...
and my client needs them
You seem to have perked up a little
I took your advice
I'll check with my colleague and let you know
- Thank you. Goodbye, Your Honour - Goodbye
So, Sandrine met Zach at boarding school...
and also met Jaulin, who worked at a nearby café
Then, she shagged them both
She got pregnant and married Jaulin
Did she think he was the father, or did she know he wasn't...
but didn't want to live with Zach?
We don't know
He didn't even come in to see us
- I bet he did nothing about it - He only thinks of himself
He should get it, not Gilou. Let's dob him in
What's wrong with you? You can't drag your own boss into it
- You'd rather ditch Gilou? - No one is ditching Gilou
But what do we tell them? I was there when we hid the trackers
You're just watching your own back
- What's it to you? - They'll charge him
Relax. We don't know what they have on him
if we say Herville got the trackers, it implicates us all
So, if they question you, say you had no idea. Got it?
Yeah, Djibril?
- We can't just hang him out to dry - It's not like that
OK. Thanks
I understand . But what can you do?
You're meeting Bensimon tonight
- Calm down - Great
I'll take the blame for the trackers
I put them on Alfonso's scooters to catch those little scum bags...
who were stealing necklaces
Yeah. That's all true
But I never forced him into anything
Did you know where the scooters came from?
All I knew was, the kids took their scooters to Alfonso for repairs
That's all that mattered to me
So you admit...
that Alfonso's stolen scooters were the reason you approached him
Look, our sources aren't exactly saints, you know
if they were, they would be useless
The tracker on the crashed scooter was unregistered
Why not use an approved tracker?
Because there aren't enough of them
Management guard them like gold dust
But unregistered trackers are so convenient, aren't they?
No need to follow procedure...
untraceable...
You know you're supposed to use regulation trackers?
And the new law states you must first ask a judge
Look, you're just doing your job...
but with all due respect, you're living in a dream world
if we did every case by the book, we'd close about five a year
Now, we're getting somewhere
You admit you used an unscrupulous mechanic..
To sidestep procedure
No. I admit what I said, nothing more. I didn't coerce him
And I don't deal in stolen scooters - not yet, anyway
We did what we had to, to close the case
- Did your colleagues know? - No
I was Alfonso's contact
Fine
- You still don't want a lawyer? - Why would I?
They're only there for show, and I should know
Even for the confrontation with Alfonso?
You're not going to make me confront that bastard?
We'll extend custody and do it tomorrow
When? I have to take a friend to the doctor
You're in custody, Escoffier
And I'm afraid that's not just for show
Go on, Tintin
So, you're mates with Djibril?
Why do you care?
Just getting to know you
Forget Djibril . Are you selling the cartridges or not?
I'm just curious how you know him
Who cares? You're selling, I'm buying
- How much will you buy them for? - Depends. How many are there?
30,000
Not bad
The Chinese pay ten
I'll buy them for eight
No, nine
Eight, cash in hand
OK. I'll round it up to 250,000
250 grand, cash
Then you collect
OK. No problem. Just tell me where
- I'll call you when we have it - When will that be?
Maybe next week
The delivery lorry visits the warehouse twice a week
OK
If you want to get hold of me, tell Djibril
Don't shop me to the police
You're the go-between
- All good? - Looks like it
That was hard work
I was sweating like a pig
Thanks
I asked for a bottle. How am I meant to piss in a can?
I forgot
So, what's the buyer offering?
- 250 grand - 250? Are you mental?
Marouane told us half a million
No. Half a million is the market value
We pocket 250 grand. That's not bad, is it?
It will get you out of this dive
No, it's not OK
- Can we trust Djibril? - He gave us the details, didn't he?
We just need to pick the right lorry at the right time
Mate, the coppers are after you and the Frenchman wants his money
You want to stay holed up in here forever, is that it?
OK. Let's do it
Tell Oz I want to see Laetitia
- Are those the arms? - That's right
All present and correct
That's the heart
- Do you want to hear it? - Yeah. I do
Now, I'm going to be honest with you
You have a placental abruption
if you don't slow down and rest, you'll lose the baby
it'll hang in there
I picked up everything on Ziani's desk...
and it's true, his gym membership isn't really relevant
But Karlsson must want these papers for a reason
I can't see one
We'll photocopy them, just in case
That envelope wasn't on Karlsson's list
You're right
She's asking for the documents...
to distract us from this envelope
I know what you're thinking, and we can't
it's confidential, so we can't use it in the trial
- There's no use opening it - It's already open
You know that makes no difference. I don't want to compromise my case
Look, Carole. I'm putting it back exactly where I found it
And I'm going to call Ms Karlsson...
to come and collect her items
- And do you want a fringe, too? - Yes, please
- Yeah? - It's Oz
Where's Laetitia?
Kim can do it. She's French
- Do you know what I need? - The day and time the lorry leaves
- What about your clothes? - Leave it to Ne
But it'll cost five grand
To find a lorry? Don't be daft
Five grand, or you'll be stuck in here
- Are you serious? - I want five grand
OK. Fine. Do it
Now get lost. We'll talk later
Bensimon called. They sent someone to check out the lorry
They'll rob it as soon as it leaves
Will Zach be there?
They said a pro was helping them. Jewish bloke, it has to be Zach
And they want two cars for the robbery
That's your problem, not ours
Can't you sort me out with a few addresses?
Or papers?
The database tracks us when we search it
Go out of town like everyone else, and bring us back two cars
- They don't want a couple of Twingos - What, then?
- They want two Cayenne Turbos - You do it. You're the pro
it'll take days to find them
- Don't you keep suspects' cars? - Yeah
Tell us the date. We'll think about the Cayennes
OK
Come on . Hurry up, will you?
Are you Pascal?
Yeah
I heard you were looking for a secretary
Ask Head Office. We don't deal with that here
Shit. That means I came here for nothing
Where's Head Office?
I don't know. Some office block
it's a mess. How are you going to fit the rest in?
We'll put it over there
Thanks. Maybe see you soon
Bye
Shit. My phone's dead
Can I plug it in somewhere?
Go on . There must be a socket in there
Yeah
Go ahead
I can't find a socket
It's OK. No one will come in
Come here
Come on
You smell good
Stop it. I know you want to
Come on. Relax
No
Fuck
Shut up. Now stay there, got it?
I told you not to move
Open your legs
PRINTER INK
MARCH 29TH
4:00AM
5:15AM
6:00AM
Yes?
All right, Servier?
There are still mice in the toilets
I doubt it. Pest control only came last week
I saw one. And they've shat in the urinals
- Listen, I don't have time for this - Will you just come and look?
This is such bollocks No. There are mice in there
Maybe pest control did a bad job
- When did you call them? - Last week
Really? This pisses me off
PASSWORD NEEDED
Shit
PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO PARIS REGION
Look, behind the bogs...
Can't you see it?
Behind the toilet. Loads of mouse droppings
Shall I get a torch?
Do you want a torch?
Give me the paper
OK. Tomorrow, 4:00am. Where does the lorry go from?
The warehouse? The car park? Is it protected?
It goes from the car park
There's just a guy who checks if the lorry is on his list
Are you ill or something?
What are you, a doctor? You got what you wanted
Here
What's this?
You'll get the rest when we sell the stuff. Now go
Go on. Piss off
That little dyke is getting on my nerves
She can stick her money up her arse
What the fuck did you eat?
For fuck's sake
May I?
Do you want the good news?
The irons have been examined...
and the shape matches the injuries on the plaintiff's head
Excellent
One iron even has blood and Ziani's DNA on it
So, what next?
We summon Ziani for a confrontation
Your ears will be burning
- Do you have a cure for that? - You get used to it
I'll be back in a minute
My husband is on duty tonight. We need a nanny
- What would he do without you? - Nothing
Nothing missing?
No. I don't think so. Thank you
I meant to tell you, you'll receive a summons
What for?
A confrontation between your client and his staff
- Has something happened? - Not really
Judge Mendy thinks that bringing them together will move the case forward
Very well
- Goodbye, Your Honour - Goodbye, Ms Karlsson
Excuse me, is Judge Mendy here?
No
I need to check one of my clients' files - Tarek Ziani
Just a second
- Here - Thank you
That's bollocks
I never coerced or threatened Alfonso
Why would I lie?
He thinks he'll get off lightly if he takes me with him
Did you see his garage?
It's sketchy as hell
Typical copper. The minute they smell trouble they drop you in it
That's not true
I admit using those trackers...
but I was just doing my job
I did it to catch the gang, that's all
That's why I joined CID...
to avoid these shit cases where the criminal never goes to prison
You want to lock me up for something I've not done
I'm an officer of the law, but you would rather take his word for it?
I'd like you to listen to something
Look, I'll ignore the stolen scooters if you don't ask about the trackers
OK. But I don't want trouble
Stop whining and do as I say
If someone comes snooping around, I'll take care of it
OK
You realise you just saved diplomatic relations between France and Libya?
Saving you would be a start
We have a problem, Tarek. One of your staff retracted their statement
Great. Why is that a problem?
The judge will think you pressured the plaintiff to do so
He'll have to prove it
That's exactly what he'll try to do
He wants a confrontation between you and the maid, who is now partly deaf
it's her word against mine
Except the test results from the iron are in, and they're not good
Mr Ziani, do you ever iron your clothes yourself?
What do you think?
Do you ever handle any of the irons that were seized at your house?
I pay people for that
So why was your DNA found on one?
This could change the judges' minds about your custody status
if you won't tell the truth, I'll suggest something
Go ahead
You were about to go out to a party...
but while eating, you dropped food on your tie
You cleaned it with soap and water...
then ironed it, to help dry it out
Why not use another tie?
Because your wife liked this one, and you wanted to make her happy
And you guarantee that'll get me off?
No. All I can guarantee is to do my best
Tell the judges that if they want me, they can come and find me
What are you doing, Tarek?
Violating your judicial supervision will harm your defence
You'll think of something. I trust you
I loved the tie story
So, the lorry leaves Bobigny at 4:00am...
heading for Le Bourget
They'll target it somewhere on the way...
so we'll trail the lorry as soon as it leaves
We'll let then rob it...
then, when they stop for the handover, we'll nab them
- Which is when? - We don't know
You don't know when the robbery is, or the handover?
Are you sure there's a lorry?
Sure. And Zach will be there
- Did Djibril tell you that? - Yes, boss
And Tintin won't con me, because Bensimon has seen him
So we have four vehicles, plus back-up
it may be our last chance to catch Zach...
so stay on your toes
We leave at 3:00am . Goodnight
Good luck, everyone
Berthaud
Either we work together on this...
or you tell me nothing, and take the blame if you blow it
When you got Djibril off the hook...
he was delivering a car for an ink cartridge robbery, right?
Is this the same job?
Zach needs money
We let him know about the job to reel him in
This could be our only chance, boss
it might help Gilou if we get Zach now
The committee has held him for nearly 30 hours
Have you followed procedure?
I'm coming
This is Laure. Not long now
Here comes a lorry. Nobody move until we're sure
- Copy - Copy that
OK, it's the right number plate
Which cars are those?
This is Laure
A Mégane and a Ford are following the lorry, not the Cayennes
- What Cayennes? - They were meant to be Cayennes
OK. Let's trail them
- Got it - Copy that
We're here
Are you sure that's Zach, behind the lorry?
This is what they planned
We're following the target
He's turning right, towards the motorway
Cop y that
Fuck. It's the police
Our colleagues are pulling the lorry over. Hang back
They've stopped
There's a second lorry. What's going on?
I can see Bensimon
it's Zach's gang
They're hitching the trailer to another cab
We'll block them in
JP, Tom, go around the other side
Where the fuck are you, Zach? Call me
Go on . Get in there
Hurry up
Nico, move in closer
This is Tom. We're ready
OK
Let's go
Fuck
Police. Don't move. Come here
- Get Bensimon - Against the car, now
Where is he?
Take him away
it's over, sir. Come with me
Have you got Zach?
Let's go
Where's Zach?
- Have you got him? - No
- Laure - Where is he?
- He's not here - Take them away
- Fuck - it's food. They got the wrong lorry
Where the fuck did he go?
JP. Bensimon?
He ran off into the woods
Shit
I'll ask you one more time
Where's my money?
You understand that?
Go on
We need to talk
- Where's Zach? - Why? What happened?
He squealed on us, that's what. He told the cops
Did you call him?
He won't pick up. Lend Ne your phone
Motherfucker
Call him from this one
He's not fucking answering
- What do you want to do? - No idea
- Got any cash? - Yeah. Sure
- ls 300 OK? - Yeah. Nice one
- You never saw me - No worries
Call me. OK?
You've never met a man called Zach? How about Bensimon? No?
Never heard of them
OK. Here's your statement. Read it and sign
Well?
Nothing, just like the last two. They don't know a thing
Who do you think warned Zach?
- Djibril? - Why would he?
Yeah
What?
Wait a second
It's Djibril. I'm putting you on speaker
Go on
Bensimon came to the Pacha
He thinks Zach squealed. He's the only one who wasn't there
He's not picking up the phone
- Wait. You have Zach's number? - Yeah. That's why I called
Go ahead
Pen...
Wait
- OK - 0643...
Yes
OK. Thanks
We'll track its location
Fuck
it's coming from the middle of a field
What the hell is this?
This is Tintin . It's on the right
The signal is coming from somewhere on the right-hand side
Yeah. Over by that manure pile. There's a little track
