Seriously, I hope her mum coughs up
Where do we go next?
How about Cannes?
Get her! She wants to be a star!
What, don't you like the Côte d'Azur?
We have to leave the country
France is rubbish
You slobbered all over it
As if you're any better!
Isn't that right, Oz?
This country's full of fascists!
Fucking stop it
Have some of that!
- You're lucky. I missed - Yeah
- But I'll get you - Stop, you bitch, I can't swim
What's so funny?
- Stop laughing - Are you serious?
Yeah
- At your age! - Shut up
Shut up, you idiot
You're getting on my tits
Was the drive OK? Not too much puking?
Go on
You, move
No. You stay there
What are you doing?
You're out of your minds Fuck you, Laeti
You're nothing to us, now
Like Sandrine?
This should convince her mum
SERIES CREATED BY ALEXANDRA CLERT
The girls are on the wanted list of every station in Paris
Whatever happens, they're going to need money
We've tapped their families' phones in case they call
We've dealt with the handbags
And this? What was it doing in the squat?
We have something on Laetitia Ribeiro's phone
She went to fetch her boss's kid. They're not back
Her boss is losing it and keeps calling Laetitia
- She's not answering? - It's turned off
Let's go
Her friend said she saw it happen outside the school
- They both got in a van? - I don't know anyone with a van
- Did her friend see who was driving? - No
- Do you have her number? - Of course
Laetitia always tells me if she's running late
She knows I worry
Thanks
Have you ever seen her?
- I saw her with Laetitia - When?
At lunchtime. Who is she?
- Call the office for back-up - OK
So, this is Charlotte, eight years old
She and Laetitia got in a white van on Rueetienne Marcel
Go and meet Tintin and Gilou there
Check CCTV and comb the area
OK. Nico, you go that way. Tom, come with me
Still here?
I couldn't just drop you in it. I'll leave once we find the girl
- But your new job... - it can wait
Nobody else wants it, anyway
How's it going?
A little girl was abducted. It can't get much worse
- Josèphine, I don't understand - What don't you understand?
Ziani was meant to go to prison. That was what we agreed
The magistrate disagreed. I wasn't going to fight to send him to prison
The magistrate agreed with me. It was Machard who did this
And you knew he would. That's why you made the deal with me
You think I'm in league with Machard?
I got over Pierre's death by staying true to my principles
And so, it seems, did you
Your Honour...
this case was a welcome distraction for us both
We were both doing our jobs. We owe each other nothing
Marianne?
A fax came from Jaulin's lawyer
The children's judge doesn't want him to see his son
I'll deal with it
Thank you
So, Ziani is the one who just got off?
- And Djibril works with him? - Yeah. He's onto a good thing
- Where are the cars? - Here
In Djibril's garage
He's fitted them with Libyan Embassy plates
Worth 500 grand, in all
They go to Marseille in three days, then by boat to Libya
Djibril will regret not having us as allies
He's going to regret more than that
Gilou, it's me, Cindy
I wanted to tell you. I can't stop thinking about yesterday
I loved it, I want you to take me
Call me
- Gilou...? - Escoffier
it's none of our beeswax
It's our chance to get back at CID
Forget it. We'll do our job properly
if anyone goes down, it's Djibril
Yes?
- Hello, Marianne - Hello
Superintendent
it's been too long
If you read the newspaper, you'll know how things are going
if you're worried about Tarek Ziani, perhaps I can put your mind at rest
Go on
Ziani is under investigation...
for trafficking luxury cars between France and Libya
We were led to him by a well-known felon, Djibril Mérini
He steals top-end cars. We've been tailing him for weeks
He supplies Ziani from a garage in the 20th arrondissement
Then he fits the cars with diplomatic number plates
The cars go to Marseille on the 16th
Then they leave for Tripoli
And what are you going to do?
Request a preliminary investigation...
and search the property
Should I wait until you're on duty?
Make sure Ziani's name isn't mentioned...
or the prosecutor's office will kick up a fuss
Don't you mind that Ziani got off?
Yes, but I don't take it personally. We can't win every case
You'll have to excuse me. My husband just got promoted
Give him my congratulations
Don't get involved with Ziani again. Forget him
Move on
Yes. Laure?
Abducted? Who?
I'll come and see you
Is that the van?
Right time, right colour. But we can't read the plate
- How old is the girl? - Eight
And what do we know about Laetitia Ribeiro?
She grew up with the other girls in the gang
She got five years for arson, along with Karen Hoarau, or "Oz"
She was released on parole a few weeks ago
Her placement was going well...
her boss said she took the job seriously
Then, she abducts a child
We don't know if Oz convinced Laetitia to do it...
or if Laetitia had the idea herself
I'm sure you'll agree that the little girl is our first priority
I'll be back
Laure, I meant to ask you...
You remember Djibril Mèrini, who helped us to find Blanco?
Are you going after him or not?
Not him in particular. Why?
The Crime Unit wants to bring him in for questioning
The Crime Unit? On what grounds?
Car theft
I wanted to make sure you weren't planning to arrest him
I'll check, but I don't think so
If you hear anything about the girl, don't hesitate to call me
Goodbye, Chief lnspector
- All right? - Yeah
I don't get it...
they still haven't dealt with my complaint
it's been three weeks
That happens sometimes
Is it because Djibril is a grass?
That doesn't mean he can beat up his girl
I don't want to be his girl
What did they say about your complaint?
- Did you hear me? - Yeah
I don't care about Djibril
I want to be with you
Sort things out with him, first
That's what the complaint is for
Yeah, but I can't get involved with you...
if things aren't clear between you
You weren't so fussy back at your place
Exactly, and I want you to come back there
- Really? - But all in good time
Oh, no. What is it?
The Crime Unit wants to arrest Djibril for car theft
How do you know?
It's Roban's case. He came and told me
- Did you tell him he's our grass? - Of course not
Do you want Djibril to go down?
Rather him than us
Brèmont is doing us a favour, in a way
Sooner or later, Djibril would have stabbed us in the back
We never even saw those two Cayennes he asked for
he probably kept them for himself
Is that going to be a problem?
No, it just feels wrong
I don't think it's right for another unit to nick him
But you'd shag his girl
No way
What are you doing? They sent a ransom message to the girl's mother
"100 grand and we'll let her live"
I don't have it
I can get 20,000 but I don't have 100,000
We can negotiate with them
We'll do everything we can to find Charlotte
She's asthmatic
If she gets worried or anxious, she'll have an asthma attack
I always put an inhaler in her bag...
but what if she's lost it?
The girls will call about the money
So stay here with us
We'll help you to talk to them
I could borrow the money from friends
- We're not going to pay them - What do you mean?
Right now, they need Charlotte...
but if you pay we don't know what they might do
But if we don't pay, will I ever see her again?
We never pay ransoms
Otherwise, everyone would start doing it
I don't believe this
Quiet, please
It's thanks to one woman that I'm here tonight
She gave me the thing that every man values most dearly...
his liberty
Ms Karlsson, allow me to kiss you
Are you free next week?
Come to Beirut
I'll think about it
OK, I'll be back in two minutes
If you meet his friends, you'll have no end of work
They're all the same
I want to work here, not in Beirut
Maurice has his faults, but he's a man of his word
You'll get your place at the firm
He has a lot to gain by hiring you
- You want another? - Yes
Joséphine, can I talk to you for a minute?
You know that when we first met, I didn't think very highly of you
Yes, I noticed that
But now, let's talk about the future
We need someone like you on the board of directors...
who isn't afraid to make difficult decisions when they arise
What do you think?
I don't know what to say
I never expected this
I should tell you right now...
that if you accept, it comes at a price
We need you to vote with us at the next board meeting
What for?
To dismiss Edelman
You want to dismiss Edelman? Why?
Ziani isn't the first client we've nearly lost because of him
The next board meeting is tomorrow...
at 3:00pm
Look, I identified the van
It was stolen from a bread company two days ago
- Put out a call. And Gilou... - Yeah?
I've been thinking
What's going on with Cindy?
I don't know
We meet up, the sex is good, we laugh...
What else can I say?
Everything all right?
Fantastic
Don't forget to do some work, will you?
I thought you and I had a future together
But you didn't, so that was that
Djibril?
Gilou. I need to see you
Now isn't a good time
Come on, it won't take long
Have I ever let you down?
OK. Where are you?
I knew we were mates
What's this car?
Who cares? Just help me shift it
Why the hell should I help you?
How many cars did I get for your mates?
The Crime Unit is after you!
Can't you get me off?
Get you off? You must be joking
OK. Then I'll say your mates helped me to find those Cayennes
I'll break your face, you piece of shit
- Piece of shit? - Yeah
I do you a favour and you won't lift a finger to help me?
You said we had to trust each other
I had some news, but maybe I won't tell you
Tell me what?
You're rumbled, you prick
The judge has a file on you
Happy now?
Don't move, sweetheart. Just wait
OK. Now, you do the same
it's too tight
Wait, did you pack your scissors?
Try cutting it
You're bleeding
Don't worry
Is it working?
Shit, you did it!
Do that again and I'll break your legs, got it?
You disgust me
I disgust you?
You didn't mind it in prison
- Croissants - Any Danish pastries?
No
Here it comes
it'll be OK
Hello?
- Is that Charlotte's mum? - Yes. Can I talk to her?
Do you have the money?
- Yes, but my daughter... - How much?
- 100000 - Have you told the police?
No
Be at the station car park in Ris-Crangis, in one hour
No coppers, or your daughter gets it
Yes, but I want to see my daughter
The money, first
That was Oz
We'll do as she says, you'll drive there...
we'll follow behind and everything will be OK
It's money on top, newspaper underneath
Give it to them and then we'll move in
I want to go alone
We'll talk over the radio. They won't see us
it'll be OK
Inès, turn right and go down the tunnel
Now go left, into the car park
it's there, on the left
Tintin, Gilou, you take the car park
- Tom, go straight on. I'll go right - OK
- JP, Nico, wait at the station - Copy that
What do I do, now?
Park the car and wait. Don't worry, Tintin is there
We're in position
Remember, we're looking...
for a white van
A Mercedes Vito
OK, got it
Hello?
Are you there? Yes
OK. Turn on your headlights
There OK
Now, drive out of the car park and turn right at the roundabout
Turn right again and drive until you see a dirt track
Go to the end and wait
I'm going. What should I do? Do as she says
Why is she taking us there?
Where is it? Straight on?
Yes. We'll wait for you
- Tintin, Gilou, stay put - OK
The rest of you. wait for the white van
- OK. No problem - Copy that
Now, take the next right
- Where the fuck are we going? - I don't know, but I don't like it
What do I do? There's no one here
Keep going, lnés
This leads to the station
They're going to do it on the platform
Now, stop and wait for them to call
We're back at the car park
Tintin, Tom, stay where you are
OK, got it
Laure, a white van just came into the car park
Stay put, it's the wrong model
OK
- Yes? - Take the bag to the platform
We're going onto the platform
Tintin, Gilou, wait at the far end
Go to the end of the platform
Stand by, everyone
if she gets on, so do we
Where are you? I can't see you
Should I get on the train? I said wait
Go back to the brown railings
Brown railings?
Yes
They're down in the underpass. Nico, Tom, go!
Drop the bag Show me Charlotte
Drop the bag, bitch
I'm losing them
No!
Yes, Chief Inspector? Wait, just one second...
Yes, go ahead
What? But how did you let them get away?
We can't afford to fail, Laure
- Goodbye. Thank you very much - Thanks
I got your message. I know what you're going to ask
- I'd rather not repeat myself - Me neither. My answer hasn't changed
- I'm dismissing the case - Excuse me?
I made an error of judgment
The evidence led me to believe Jaulin was guilty, but I was wrong
Sometimes, judges make mistakes
Your enemies will have a field day
Well, good for them
But soon, Jaulin will no longer be accused of killing his family...
and no one can stop his son from visiting him...
not even you
See how much your mum loves you?
You see how much you're worth to her?
That bitch has abandoned you
Her mum would never do that. She loves her
- Then she should have paid up - She cares, unlike your mum
- Bitch - What did you say?
Shut your fucking mouth
What's wrong with her?
What is it? What's wrong with the girl?
She needs her inhaler. It's in her bag
Give her the inhaler
Film her
All right, little man?
How I've missed you!
Get her some water, please
Laure
Sit down
- Hello? - Did the coppers tell you not to pay?
Let me talk to the bastards Charlotte has to have her inhaler
- Let me talk to them - She needs her inhaler
Chief Inspector Berthaud
I spoke to you about the Delormes
I don't give a shit about them
Listen Oz. Don't call me Oz. I'm not listening
Tell that bitch to pay up or the, girl dies
Look in Charlotte's bag and get her inhaler
I know you can do that. OK?
Then, I'll bring the money. I promise
That kid means nothing to me
if she dies, it'll be your fault
This is all your fault
You told me not to pay
That's why we're in this mess
Where's her bag?
You want to help with her homework?
Where is it?
- In the van - Go and get it
Go and get it. Hurry up
Your mum will never pay up if you're dead
Again
You OK?
Did you have fun, playing nurses?
Shut up
- I'm Karen's mother - Thanks for coming. Sit down
What has she done, now?
Taken a little girl hostage
When she calls to ask for the money, you'll convince her to let her go
Me, convince her?
She never listened to me
Could you at least try?
Well...
When will she call? I have to be back at work in an hour
Your daughter is threatening to kill a little girl...
and you worry about your job?
OK
Tell me about your daughter
There's nothing to say
She was an accident
I wish I'd aborted her
That's him
Stand by
Move in
Don't move! Police
Djibril Mérini?
- Yeah? - Superintendent Brémont
As of 1:49pm, you're under arrest for theft as part of an organised gang
- You've the right... - I know my rights. You taught me them
We're going to search your garage. Can you open it up?
- Do you have papers for that? - Yes, of course
What am I charged with, again?
OK. I want everything
Accounts, in voices, social security payments...
- Hello - Joséphine, we were waiting for you
Please, sit down
This is a surprise
Now we're all here, I suggest we get started
The first item is the inclusion of our colleague Joséphine Karlsson...
on the firm's board of directors
We all know the crucial role she had in getting Ziani released...
and how deftly she took advantage of the justice system...
to help get our firm back on track
Any objections?
Any abstentions?
Then welcome aboard, my dear
Thank you
Now, I'd like us to add another item to the agenda
Since when do we add items at the last minute?
Since when do you care about etiquette?
I would like to vote on the dismissal of one of our partners...
in other words, you, Eric
You want to dismiss me?
Don't act surprised. You knew this was on the cards
I offered to negotiate several times, and you always refused
You need a unanimous vote to dismiss a partner
Who's in favour of dismissing Eric Edelman...
from the firm's board of directors?
If you thought I was expensive, you haven't seen anything yet
Recognise yourself?
What's the problem?
I can use a car park if I want
And this?
What?
You're driving a Cayenne
Don't make me laugh
You can't even see who that is
Do you have a photo of me nicking it?
You have a passkey to break into Cayennes
We saw you with it
Without my face behind the wheel, you've got nothing
I wouldn't relax just yet
Because we're not giving up
Get him to sign his statement
You fucked us over, didn't you?
But I know who's fucking your girlfriend even harder
Gilou, it's me, Cindy
I wanted to tell you. I can't stop thinking about yesterday
I loved it. I want you to take me
We were tricked. Your Honour
The cars had gone from the garage
We've nothing on Mérini, so we can't keep him in
Why were the cars gone?
Did Mérini know you were coming?
Possibly
You never know with informants
Mérini's an informant?
For whom?
For Inspector Berthaud. I thought you knew
Your Honour?
Hello?
I'll be back in a sec
Yes, Cindy?
Djibrll knows about us. He's furious. He says he's going to kill me
Shit. Where are you? Roxanne's. But he knows the address
Lock the door. I'm coming
- OK - OK
Tintin, I'll be back. Call me if you hear anything
- Your Honour - Superintendent
Your Honour, we're waiting for Oz to call
Haven't you traced her phone?
Yes, but she never calls from the same place
And then she turns it off
Thanks for coming. Will you sit down?
Can I talk to you? Yes
You and I have always trusted one another, haven't we?
Yes
Why didn't you tell me Mérini was your informant?
You might have mentioned it
I didn't tell you because...
it wasn't important
Who warned him about the search?
No one knew except you
Anyone can betray me, Laure...
except you
Berthaud
Hello? Listen up, you bastards
Take the money where I tell you and then get lost
If you arrest me, you'll never see Charlotte again
Understand?
OK, but I need guarantees. How's Charlotte doing?
Fine
Did you give her the inhaler? Yeah
I knew you would. I trusted you, Oz
I'd like you to bring her with you, so we can make the swap
Do you think I'm stupid?
I don't trust your friends, but I trust you
So bring Charlotte... Stop fucking talking and listen
You'll leave the money at a bus stop in Draveil. Rue Copernic
If you arrest me, you know what happens
Copernic. OK
Wait. Let me hand you over to someone
Karen, it's me
It's Mum
Hello?
That's the little girl, Charlotte
I'm not looking at that
- Those cubicles... - What about them?
It's a water park that I used to take her to
Where?
On the Seine, near Evry. We lived around there
We're going to Evry
Call marine police and the Crime Unit
Tom, call the squad in Evry
OK. Someone will take care of you
Open the fucking door
Bastard
Get off him! Stop
Djibril, please
What do you want?
Djibril, for fuck's sake
Djibril
Get off me
Stop it. There's no use taking it out on her
You fucking traitor
You're going back to prison
- Yes. Tintin? - Where the fuck are you?
We're closing in on the girls
OK. Give me the address. I'm on my way
Berthaud
Police
- Police, don't move - Don't move
Stay where you are
Don't move
OK, OK
Well done, lads
Don't move
Fuck
Let me go or I'll stab her
Nobody move. Oz has the girl
You won't get away
Let her go. Give her to me
It's OK, Charlotte
- Careful, careful... - I'll stab her, I swear
Be careful. Oz...
Don't hurt her, it's going to be OK. Don't worry
Oz, be careful
Now, please, give her to me
I know how it all got out of hand with Lucie
You don't want that to happen to Charlotte, do you?
I never had anybody
Lucie liked me
I know. That's why Sandrine let you look after her
Don't hurt Charlotte. Give her to me
Oz...
Careful, careful...
Oz...
Nobody move
I'll tell them to stay back, OK?
Look, I'm taking it off
Look
Now, let her go
Oz, give Charlotte to me
Look
Give me Charlotte
Give her to me, please
Oz, give Charlotte to me
Which of you is the father?
Tell him to come
The mother will be OK...
but it doesn't look good for the baby
We're not sure we can save it
Brémont, it's Escoffier
I'm at the hospital in Evry
Laure's pregnant...
and things don't look good
She needs you
That's all
