Original subtitles

Silence, or I'll evacuate the room.

On this second day, we will listen the defense's pleading.

And judgment will be rendered after having deliberated.

Master, you have the floor.

I read in the newspapers that this man was a monster.

I received death threats by letters,

by telephone,

by this crowd, in the street,

to dare to defend him.

My friends, my family, disapproved of me.

So, I ask the first question:

why do you think I came?

For money?

He doesn't have any.

You know, he was warehouse worker in a factory.

For advertising? For the press?

You know I don't need it.

So out of sympathy? Out of pity?

No.

I am like all of you: I don't like it.

He plunged several families in despair.

He took the lives of women who had done nothing to him.

And 20 years ago, for crime too,

society gave him a chance, spared him

left him his life,

which he used again to kill.

And it is undoubtedly because he carries that within him.

Because he carries within him this horrible thing:

the criminal instinct.

Because he can't get rid of it.

Because this beast is eating away at him.

The company says: “Let’s push them under the guillotine.”

He killed out of helplessness in the face of his evil.

And we, society, are going to kill him also out of helplessness.

Powerless to cure him.

- Cure him? - But he's not sick!

The psychiatrists said it!

Yes I know. He's a completely normal monster.

A very, very balanced monster.

I'm not looking to minimize his crimes.

Nor to tell you that the company is responsible.

I won't talk to you about the law. She is what she is.

But I ask you to end it with this bargaining of death.

You can't trade a death for a life.

No death will restore a life.

I think of a hospital ward,

when we put up the screen near the patient

who has no chance of surviving.

I'm thinking about night guard who will perhaps hold out a hand to him

to which the dying person will cling.

Last link with this land that he doesn't want to leave.

This moment will come to each of us.

We will be afraid of death.

You will be afraid of death.

For thousands of years, man tries to fend off death.

I am proud today to be the hand,

the voice,

to which this man clings.

Was it even more monstrous, I will remain his only chance.

It's my pride, I repeat, never to be a civil party.

To defend, only to defend,

the one who no longer has...

no human being to help him.

Apart from his lawyer.

- She got them again. - Didn't she save her head?

- So it's life-long? - Not 20 years old?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 20 years old, all round.

You will pay dearly for it!

We won't forget you, bitch!

- Master Florence Nat? - Yes ?

Please allow me to introduce myself: Lucien Lebesque.

Ah, it's not bad. Do you work with duck?

No, I am attached to the IGS.

Font fonts? What interests you?

I heard you plead for Simon Risler.

I wanted to know if you would have better luck.

I had some. It's nice of you to come.

You saw, it went wonderfully.

There is still the exit.

We're going to go out. I have to be in Paris this evening.

We spotted a small door on the back.

What a horror, after such a great result.

We can always bring journalists.

You heard me plead six months ago,

today, and you don't know me.

See how sad it is.

What do you want?

Kill me?

Pardon.

If unfortunately, in this country, lawyers lost their rights,

you would lose yours at the same time.

- Is Robert there? - He's waiting for you in the office.

Ah! Robert.

Okay, what do we do?

The Goldsteins, I think, or...

Northern insurance?

I'm talking to you.

- What do you have? - Risler's pardon is rejected.

The collar,

You will give it to my lawyer.

You will give it to my brother.

- I would like to take communion. - God is waiting for you

in His mercy.

Let's get ready to celebrate this Eucharist.

Let's recognize that we are all sinners.

We are not worthy.

Let us prepare for the kingdom of Heaven.

Let's gather together in the grace of the Lord.

Happy guests at the Lord's Supper,

here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Lord, I'm not worthy to receive you,

but just say a word and I will be healed.

That the body and blood of Christ keep me for eternal life.

Simon Risler,

do you have a final revelation to do?

Yes.

I declare

that Inspector Reynolds is a liar and a murderer.

You heard me, Mr. Justice. A murderer.

Let's abbreviate.

Mr. Chief Supervisor, proceed to release the prisoner from prison.

And put it back in the hands of the executioner.

Yes, Mr. Prosecutor.

Is it there?

Don't move, otherwise there are two heads today.

Gently. Slowly, come on.

Everyone move forward slowly.

Eh ?

Everyone out.

Gently.

There.

Tell them that if someone gives alarm, I'll cut your throat.

Look at. Look what you have on it. Did you see?

Don't try anything. Don't try anything.

Obey him.

Get out!

Get out!

Tell them to get out.

Get out.

Get out, you!

- Do it, please. - Get in and start.

Calm. Calm.

Advance.

Open the door.

We're not going to let him escape?

- You will have no one alive. - He's going to make a mistake.

Master, come here alone. All alone!

If they don't open the door, tell them I do.

Tell them I'm cutting her throat, if they don't let me out.

I give them 30 seconds. One, two, three,

four, five...

If you let it out, he will let go of his hostage.

Believe me, I know him.

He's bluffing.

He will let him out even if we don't open it.

You come back very kindly on that?

Sixteen...

Open it.

I've got you covered.

Open.

But he didn't even sign his lifting of the nut.

Twenty-seven, twenty-eight,

- twenty-nine... - No!

Notify the police! Block the area!

Calm down! The prosecutor's life depends on it.

Okay then, what do I do? Should I disassemble?

This razor was hidden in your chapel?

- I don't know. - It's obvious.

He didn't have any in his cell. An explanation?

This man had to die.

And he is alive.

- I'm upset. - I will summon you to the palace.

You better get busy of youth in dormitory towns.

You will be offered a guillotine in reduced model.

- You will cut your cigars with it! - My feet...

I have feet too. We are like them, everyone the same.

There's no difference.

This is intolerable.

Here police. Speak.

It's...

It's about the guy. I know him.

What type?

You know, the guy who escaped, Simon Risler.

I know him.

Who are you?

He's with us right now.

You understand...

My husband had a lot of trouble to get out of it.

He became honest.

It doesn't stop if there is always guys who come to the house.

My husband can't say no. He is weak.

I made the decision to do it for him,

so that we get out of this because I don't want us to get in trouble.

The address?

Get out of there.

I don't have any money on me.

Don't be afraid, master.

It's me.

Simon Risler.

Slowly, slowly.

There. There, go ahead, head.

I'm going to call a doctor.

But no. A doctor who will call the police...

I'd rather die in the street.

So you should find a friend.

A friend who can heal you. It's not simple.

Well...

Excuse me, but...

I don't have anyone anymore.

Yes, apologies, at 2 a.m....

Don't move.

Can't they sleep in their own bed?

Have you forgotten what you told me yesterday?

Alain on the device.

Florence? Florence Nat?

Not possible!

All this time...

How did you find me?

Ah, by my sister!

Yes, obviously.

A good hour and a half, if my car starts.

There, you have to act quickly.

You take enough to treat an injured person and...

And thank you.

Someone will come.

I don't dare give you a drink.

No, you should stir as little as possible.

You don't move like that.

If...

You will only have to say that I threatened you.

Simon?

Simon?

Shit !

It doesn't matter, old man.

Break everything except your pipe.

SO ?

Someone injured at home?

He's already passed out twice.

Wounded by gunshot, in the back and in the thigh,

during his escape.

Escape ? What is this story?

Please don't ask any questions.

Instead, see what you can do. It's serious, he could die.

To support the heart.

I don't dare extract the bullets.

You are a surgeon.

I was a surgeon.

If you don't take care of him, he won't be able to leave.

And he can't stay there either.

- What if you took it somewhere else? - Elsewhere ? Where?

Well, in a clinic.

They will call the police. I don't want him executed.

Listen, maybe it doesn't concern me anymore,

but you should think about it.

A wounded man in front of your door... You would have acted like me.

But who is it?

It's Simon Risler, the escaped death row inmate.

We talk about it everywhere.

At home, we are cut off from the world. We have no radio or television.

Alright. You treat him and he goes away. This is the only solution.

Do you call that a solution?

You will risk your situation, all your life,

for a person sentenced to death?

Have you gone crazy?

Fortunately he escaped. It was an injustice.

A miscarriage of justice, too?

No, not completely. It was worth five years.

And I lost. Do you hear? I lost.

- You still don't like it. - I want to win. We must win!

With that?

A shaking hand?

This one is much deeper.

It's a local anesthesia. That's all I can do.

You don't, doctor. It'll be fine.

We will keep it as a souvenir.

Hold.

He's disgusting. But if you want a shot of cognac...

Oh, that's true...

Ah, it's geranium.

You know very well that I never knew how to do.

So say,

you kept the same style.

You don't change your size.

I had forgotten that one. I don't know where he was hanging out.

I swear to you.

Wow, it's 6 a.m.

I have my first customers at 9 a.m.

- Shall we have breakfast? - That's a good idea.

A little touch of geranium.

And you, your life?

Well I got away with it picking up lost dogs.

The most difficult,

it's for wolves.

In principle, they don't need anyone.

In principle.

They easily cross borders.

It's not easy to hide a man to be killed.

The proof: he came here.

He has a good look.

And in view, I'm starting to get to know it.

A wolf on a farm, do you think it would work?

We didn't just arrest you because you were having a blast at the palace.

- I don't know, ma'am. - Mmh mmh.

You admitted to hitting a certain Moreil

with a twist of a wrench between the two eyes.

That's the cops.

- Were the cops the ones who hit Moreil? - No.

They told me: “It’s like in Renaud’s song.”

I know her song. I'm having a blast with it.

- So you hit Moreil. - I didn't even know him.

No, but you hit him anyway.

It wasn't bad, ma'am.

Not bad? He is still in the hospital.

You will see when you are confronted with him.

You will see his smashed head.

And what's more, he hadn't done anything to you?

No, nothing, ma’am.

Who is this Cheyenne?

He's a great guy.

The other day he came in with his kid at Notre Dame.

On Sunday, during mass?

Yeah. Were you there, ma'am?

No, but I'm guessing.

If we don't stop him, you're going to be considered the boss.

Sometimes I ordered.

And do you know what it's going to cost?

Five years in prison, minimum.

Do you think so, ma'am?

Yes, I think so, sir.

Fortunately, you have your mother and your sister. Friends, in these cases...

Have you ever tried to work?

Yes, but...

Had to have the same clothes.

Blues, grays...

I prefer my rags.

I understand.

Too bad what's in this file.

Don't you think so?

Along the bad paths, you can find the guillotine.

I tell you this because of a death row inmate who I take care of.

- Bye. - Goodbye, ma'am.

It seems your father wants to see you. And you ?

My father? I don't know him.

This way you will get to know each other.

Think.

It can be great.

Then you will tell me about it.

It's making me nervous, ma'am.

I'm late, excuse me.

As per usual.

A new business.

An unconscious little thug.

Oh, I'll just have a grilled fish. Are you doing well ?

Like a dumped woman.

Oh, it's true! I forgot.

- But you have friends, trips... - What a bastard, all the same!

After 20 years... With all the trouble I've put into it.

Did you help him? I didn't know.

But no, to keep the face smooth.

He was demanding.

I had to stay golden, from January 1 to December 31.

And to stay smooth, I couldn't laugh or even cry.

Nor above all think to something serious.

The judge will hold that to you surely counts.

Below 20,000 francs per month, but I won't get out of it!

You'll get them for me. You're so strong.

There are some who live with less than that, right?

- Do you think so? - Almost, yes.

Him, for example.

Um, a sea bream and half a muscadet.

And does the caviar come from Livestock?

Don't make him come. I only have an hour to spare.

The president of the 8th will be late again.

So, this escape, a great moment?

- Not for everyone. - He will call you.

What ad! Beware of press conferences.

You know well that I am not suspicious.

- Oh! - This is our client.

- Hello, master. In good shape? - Yes, it's okay.

Let me look at you.

Ooh there! And there? You have to remove a little.

- I'm going to take some off. - Yes, hold on.

I didn't want to look like a loser.

A loser, in your case, It’s 18 months.

With that, it's double, sometimes even triple.

I prefer to keep it.

Ah! Oh well listen, we're going to close the collar.

- Should I also remove the bracelet? - Everything, the rings...

You don't forget: you don't move, you look down.

You disappear. Come on, that's in your pocket.

It's better that she stays here.

Honey, go sit down.

The president of the 8th is a true puritan.

At this point? Well, I say so.

It's probably a little late.

No.

But I guess that you passed in front of my door?

We pass a lot of doors right now.

Inspector Reynolds communicated his fear to everyone.

He was transferred to the Antigang to get Risler.

Where is Risler? Wounded,

isolated...

You thought to someone he liked.

I surrender.

Listen, I don't have a search warrant and...

I came alone.

You can refuse to let me visit.

Do you hope I refuse?

No.

But it is very possible that you are obliged to refuse.

Oh, me, you know, bonds...

I've known you for a long time.

I had followed Risler's trial. Have I already told you?

I convinced you of his innocence?

You defended him with such love.

For such a disastrous result.

Such poetry, even.

"Brought up in street fighting,

"forged in the miserable tradition of some slums,

"thief to survive...

"I take responsibility for his youth criminal record

“which is a bit like all of us.”

It wasn't bad.

Enough to open your door for him.

Eh ? A beautiful boy.

The romanticism of the wound.

- A single woman. - What do you know about it?

We don't get paid very well here, but we know a lot of things.

If I told you more, would they give you a raise?

They are very tough.

The chest of drawers, the sales one. I had more room for my files.

The loveseat, my mother.

The last gift from my ex-husband.

- The lawyer? - Oh no, that was the first.

Update your records.

This old bed is in my family at least for two centuries.

Old Breton strains.

Royalist father.

Good files.

There it is.

Very conservative, indeed.

The housewife.

He could never bear universal suffrage.

My mother never dared to tell him that I had passed my license.

I had become the shame of the family.

My room.

A large bed for a single woman.

Mmh mmh.

On the family side, it's over.

That's for humility.

You think of everything.

And this?

That's a closed door.

This is the guest room.

We shut up because of a wonderful Chagall.

Ah good ? I who adore Chagall, this child of the perpetual.

It's a simple lock.

A door had to be closed.

My maid will open it for you.

You know, between a cop and a burglar,

often the line is thin.

If this amuse you...

Could you really?

Go ahead, don't change anything to your little habits.

Even Chagall was true.

Everything is true here, except your ideas.

Impressions, at most.

Risler's brother, part of the truth would not be on this side?

He was never arrested.

He's been on the run from the start, you know it well.

Would you mind a little sunshine?

No.

Now that I can enjoy it.

Breakfast is served.

Alan,

I think I'm going to leave.

My sister wrote me a letter.

She found me a job near Bordeaux, next to her home.

Because it's better now.

And what job?

In a garage, to take care of the tire service.

There is a used tire service and that of new tires.

I will take care of... I don't know which one yet.

It's better.

Here you go again on the wheel hats.

For the Land Rover, if I find a chance,

I could send you some tires.

That's a good idea. All right.

I will give them to you.

It doesn't seem like it, but it's really hard.

Yes.

They could follow us motorized vehicles.

You wouldn't know how to use it.

Do you want me to take you back?

I'm going for a walk.

It's over, yes? You idiots, go!

Isn't it over?

It doesn't push like a 2 CV, that.

Come on, work your ass off a little, good God.

- Go ahead. - Come on.

Change your life, with a collarless shirt?

What the hell does that matter to you? We breathe better.

It's full of notches.

She was cut by a disgusting person.

You can say that, yes. A real disgusting one.

- Oh shit! -Aren't you happy? You just have to work!

Can't you be careful?

- That's four times today! - Stop!

Stop.

- No, stop. - You're crazy!

- Come on, leave it. - Let go.

- Stop, finally! - But finally!

You're crazy, aren't you!

- Let it go! - What am I getting involved in?

- Let it go! - What am I getting involved in?

Stop! Piss off!

Well...

Come on, the show is over, now.

Come on, get to work.

With my old man, we stayed for a while,

without really knowing what to say.

Now he speaks to me.

And you, do you talk to him?

Yeah.

I told him I didn't blame him for abandoning my mother.

It's normal, she was yelling all the time.

Then...

I told him that when I got out,

we could go a long way together.

What did he say?

He whined.

You too, I hope.

Me too, ma'am.

He had the nerve to come with this girl.

Well, maybe she's younger.

But much less good.

Look, she's vulgar, dirty,

big and interested.

Well, he will quickly get the hang of it.

- So... - Yes?

Someone on number 2. He's the detective.

This is Pradès.

I got back into it and I was lucky.

I found a trace on Spain.

- Yeah, a paper. - Come with.

No, I don't carry it around. I have had threats.

They risk trapping me if I come to your house.

So you're going to take your car

and park facing 16 avenue Mac-Mahon.

It's a small bistro.

And what is paper?

You know, Reynolds and his friend?

The one who got shot by the Risler brothers.

They would have invested more than 300 million in Spain

through a real estate agency.

Tremendous. Tremendous !

I'm coming.

“16 avenue MacMahon”.

Excuse me. Don't wait for me, but come back whenever you want.

And congratulations on the jeans.

- A love date? - Almost.

He is always alone. He called, he's drinking juice.

With this guy, we don't even have time to shave anymore.

Two Ricards terrace, two!

In the bar, there is no one or two thugs from the Antigang?

It's just the two of us on this one.

Not quite.

Here it is.

Do you see it?

Go to Pradès!

Eh ?

What ?

The paper? Yes, where is he?

Where is he?

Where is the paper?

Or ?

Where is he?

As long as you can stand on your feet...

That's what you don't want to understand.

He is an associate professor of philosophy.

And I am an architect.

And he, over there, he has a degree in economics.

And you, you're a little fascist disguised as a cureton.

Ah, you're talking about the body... And God will take over, right?

Don't speak for others. Speak for yourself.

What will you do with your flabby legs? and your foggy brain?

Will you vomit about your plans?

Will your balconies fall on you?

Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

But everything is easy!

Show your ass, huh? Easy !

Lying, smearing, banning?

Easy.

Break down? Ah, that's very easy.

Die ? Easy, eh. For us, not for you.

You're just trash! A dream thief!

Yeah, you stole from us!

You promised us peace, rest.

And I sleep more...

I didn't come to pick you up, I won't hold you back.

Hey, go.

What we want is to leave.

They will all follow us, you will see.

Leaving tomorrow, do you understand? Tomorrow.

Okay, tomorrow.

I'm leaving, I'm fed up!

I was passing in the area.

I heard chatter.

Well you see, we don't get bored here.

Well...

I think for tonight, we can have a short intermission.

Do you need something?

Yes, it's seeing it.

Well, you and him.

Are you coming, my little one?

I'm trying to take stock.

You add to this that there is a paper that proves

that Reynolds worked with you.

No ? And you have it?

No, I don't have it.

He's a private cop, named Pradès, who has it.

Well... who had it, because he just got shot.

I have his address.

I'm going to see what these two zigues are doing.

- Sometimes they set us on fire... - I'm going.

Maybe it's better that it's you.

They can stay, if they want.

There you are.

- Thanks for the trouble. - There's nothing wrong with that.

- I had packages to pick up - You don't waste time.

Beware, because it passes very quickly.

I'm not talking about the train, I'm talking about time.

Very fun.

Very funny.

Your 3-room villa at 179,000 francs in Normandy.

This is the last program with...

From the Red Cross, two packages of clothes?

Yes, that's it.

We are informed that François Risler, sentenced to death in absentia

and brother of Simon Risler, escaped on the day of his execution,

has just been arrested in Spain in a district of the port of Barcelona.

The French Ministry of the Interior asked...

A little signature.

They had killed Inspector Maréchal of the economic police.

Thank you.

And seriously injured Inspector Reynolds.

There you go.

That's all I heard.

He will be extradited quickly.

His sentence will not be necessarily confirmed.

Reynolds will definitely make a mistake one day or another.

If you want, I will take care of his file.

And I will give you news.

In this case, are you telling me the truth?

I'll try.

Okay, we were thieves.

It's true.

My brother and I have always stolen.

All kids, in the markets, to eat, and then...

Then afterwards to resell.

Cars, motorcycles, bikes, TVs...

It forces you to steal too often.

So we thought about stocks, in the industry, you see.

They didn't even keep them in the provinces.

- Does my story bother you? - No.

On the contrary.

It's funny. It feels good to talk.

One day,

in a tannery, we found compromising papers

on the Finance brigade.

They were wet with the industrial, you see.

It's like this that we met these two cops,

Reynolds and whatnot...

Marshal.

So we, little thieves,

well, we were reassured to know that there were big ones

and with a police card.

So they accepted the blackmail.

They designated

illicit stocks, we were mowing.

And the industrialist couldn't file a complaint.

We found ourselves in a distillery abandoned, in the countryside.

I didn't think for a second that these two bastards

could one day arrive before us, hide...

Francis!

Don't move, I'll come back for you.

François has his own account, but the other one came out.

He's going to try to take his car.

Get to the other side, and I'll cover you.

I only killed Maréchal.

Reynolds got away with it.

My brother also escaped.

Hmm.

As for the surviving cop,

when leaving the hospital, he became a national hero.

"Attacked by thugs in the exercise of his duties."

But why did they try to kill you?

Well, listen,

They were afraid I would throw them away.

Or...

obey orders.

It's beautiful here, huh?

Too bad, I have to leave.

Are you sure?

No.

There's one thing I'm sure of.

Reynolds right spit, and he will spit.

I will never forget what you did for me.

Come back whenever you want, eh.

I knew that the Antigang had searched Pradès,

this private cop.

- Normal, Mr. Director. - Yes.

But what is not, in any case what is less,

it's because they didn't open the trunk.

Still normal.

We risk to find the list of industrialists

- wet with Finances. - Mmh mmh.

If it can keep factories running.

It avoids unemployment.

And one more unemployed,

That doesn't help the election.

It will always be ours to cover the upper spheres.

Fresh air often circulates there.

Well, let's wish that our blanket will be warm enough.

If I sneeze, I find myself at the bottom of the ladder.

I don't come from a big school like you.

- A tablet? - Let's not forget that Risler's lawyer

knows Pradès.

I only think about that.

It's d'Artagnan, this good woman.

She wants to fight it out.

I've already touched on a word about it to Monsieur de Richelieu.

When you run the Paris public prosecutor's office, we see things.

And I've seen it, believe me.

The walls of this council chamber can attest to this.

I have no doubt, Mr. Prosecutor.

Politics passes,

the officials remain.

I am not a civil servant.

Well yes, but precisely...

You are more fragile.

In our time, we can discover anything about anyone.

Slides, tax sheets...

The decoration usurper,

work in Germany during the war...

Et cetera, et cetera.

In the midst of these slanders, the layoff of a lawyer is...

very few things.

I would obviously be sorry.

Please be clearer.

Bah, the police complain of interference in his investigations.

The Risler brothers' defense has limits that...

that you are overtaking.

Let us prove it.

We wanted to cut off a head to cover up a scandal.

No but... you shouldn't read the Penal Code like a novel.

Then you shouldn't underestimate either my warning.

It's the first, but...

it will be the last.

Look ahead, drive. No sudden movements.

Are you stupid? The police must be following me.

No, I looked closely around you.

- What if I stop in front of a police station? - Let's not play anything.

Our risks are shared.

Come on, let's talk about my brother instead.

I see him this afternoon to work on his new education.

- The same judge as me? - The same.

And no new parts to be added to the file.

Take this. You had to pay Pradès, I will reimburse you.

With your money, make yourself forgotten,

as long as possible.

Your brother will be in the central prison, and there we will see.

For now. He is still sentenced to death in absentia.

At the assizes, things will work out.

Looks like you don't know them. I don't have confidence.

Hey, take this.

A revolver?

It's not complicated. You have than to tape it under the parlor table.

And an inmate will come and take it.

There is no risk for you.

I should have let you die in the parking lot.

There, you took a risk! For the revolver, no.

The guy who will give it to my brother, it's...

the one who slipped the razor under the carpet of the chapel.

Yesterday I gave a bunch of money to his family for that.

And you risk nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Once my brother escapes,

you will never hear again of us.

Unless we get to the truth.

What if I refuse?

Oh...

You are too committed to refuse.

And then you will be completely cleared.

I swear to you.

Completely cleared.

- Broken-down ? - No.

- Then move along. - Yes.

Hello, master.

I won't give you any news of your brother. You have some.

But I will ask you a question of trust.

Do you intend to face your judges or to escape?

- You call that judges? - Yes.

And me, a lawyer and that, a table.

With my brother, we have a slight doubt about justice.

Okay until then.

But you don't want to trap Reynolds?

On Reynolds, there is only one good card to play: a Colt, here.

You won't say otherwise.

I won't tell you.

It's for you, from your brother.

For now, you do not risk have yours cut off.

But if you escape, you will continue to play Colt.

And maybe you could hear the sound of the chisel at 4 a.m.,

with perhaps less luck than your brother.

All this is to be seen.

If you like to play at Russian roulette.

Show your face. Maybe we know each other.

Hands against the wall.

And we move more.

Give the handcuffs.

The key to the door!

It will cost you dearly.

We are bad payers.

You are making your situation even worse!

If it's still possible.

Sorry, master.

As long as we have our heads on our shoulders.

Go ahead. That's the car!

Well, you see we're getting there.

You give to François Risler the date of his instruction.

With an accomplice, he warns the outside,

and his brother, who knows the location of the judge's office,

introduces himself,

weapons in hand. It was quite simple.

And the judge could explain to you that a lawyer has the right

to notify your client from the day of his instruction. No ?

Yes, obviously.

But the less we tell them, the better.

We find you too often on our way.

It's my job.

The council of the order will decide on your layoff.

- It'll give me a vacation. - It will go further.

You will have other explanations to provide.

We had been nice. We warned you.

Yes I know. By the Attorney General.

You get along well to hug the truth.

Okay, can I have it?

Yes, it's me. I listen. Risler?

Are you sure it's him?

Wasn't he the one driving?

Yes, I note.

“Lieutenant of gendarmerie Andreani”.

Yes.

One second, I'll pass you the person who will go.

Inspector Lebesque, yes?

Yes, you tell me?

François Risler is dead.

Car accident.

His brother has disappeared.

An accident? Where?

- Nemours region. - But who recognized François Risler?

He had his committal warrant on him.

They talk about a neighboring farm

which houses drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation.

- They think the injured Risler would be there. - Injured or not...

I have an appointment there. Are you coming?

- It's not my sector. - And you, master?

It's quite far, and I have my consultations.

I can give a call to my secretary?

- They won't have gone far. - How far will this matter take us?

Hello, Robert? Florence Nat.

I'm still at IGS.

Yes, make customers wait.

François Risler was killed in a car.

His brother or an accomplice would be hiding on a farm near Nemours.

In a drug center.

That's it.

Ah, you thought to the Vernier assignment?

- Yes, you don't. - Well, see you soon.

Open this door!

Bring them back to the yard!

- Sir. - Are you the one who runs the center?

Yes.

You wouldn't have hosted someone?

That's all I do.

About an hour ago, after a road accident.

He may still be dressed as a policeman.

No. Me, personally, no.

They would surprise me that they are hosting a gendarme.

Did you see anyone an hour ago?

An accident victim.

A policeman.

I told you so. You have to excuse them.

It's because of the uniform.

- They kept certain complexes. - We know.

Enough taxpayers complain about their presence.

The French no longer have a heart?

We are looking for a very dangerous man.

Those who are here are especially dangerous for themselves.

You allow let's take a look?

If I may, really?

Surrender, you're done!

That's it, we have him, my lieutenant!

We found him under a tarpaulin.

Concealment of criminals, eh?

It's Yves Sacquet, sent by Marmottan hospital.

He is registered.

Take those handcuffs off him. It would be less ridiculous.

Release it.

And let him show his papers.

In the book, There are also operating accounts.

You will see, we are not a multinational.

We live above all by good works.

Is that your good works?

- A little hashish. - And you tell me that, like that?

Well what? He was... He was hanging around.

I left it on purpose for... as an exercise of will.

It is prohibited by law.

Where are you?

He had to hitchhike away. We searched the surrounding area.

A drug hub.

Come on, let's take him to the brigade.

And these,

- what are you going to do with it? - The best

would be to give the farm to an honest peasant family.

And let them go back to town.

A little more, a little less...

Wait a few days before leaving.

It might work out.

Leave ? Where?

Never seen this guy?

It's in his interest.

We were quiet here.

Why are you bothering us?

Simon! That's it, they're gone.

Hurry up, they may come back.

Come on. Hold.

Burn it all.

- Hold. - Burn it.

Simon, I came with. I'll give it to you.

THANKS.

I'll tell you where I left it.

Are you bored to watch what are they going to do with my brother?

In this region, across the field, you can go far.

Don't forget,

- your favorite shirt. - Oh shit !

- Hi ! - Good luck !

stop saying that you shot in the legs.

But it's true! It's true !

How ? You shot him in the back of the head.

He ran with his legs at his neck.

I have nothing to do with it.

All right.

Master, if you will follow me.

By ministerial order, I ask you to allow yourself to be searched.

Ministerial order?

- General security measure. - You have no right,

except in the presence of a member of the council of the order.

It was planned.

A cognac.

Two cognacs.

For me, it's to forget administration.

It's in your shoes. She sleeps in your bed.

And stupidity is not forgotten.

Shall we sit down?

You are searching unnecessarily a lawyer,

just before trying to have it struck off.

I will teach you a wonderful game.

Did you know Pradès?

Prades? No.

No ?

You just played spades.

I cut.

Heart trump.

So what?

And so I don't have the negative.

He is in the upper echelons.

You had an appointment with him.

He had the truth.

And he died.

I wanted this truth.

I wonder if we shouldn't let her sleep.

Besides, she forces everyone to lie.

Even you.

Because the system does not inspire confidence.

Take, for example, Alain Rivière,

- who takes care of the drug addict farm... - Yes?

I have known him for 20 years.

We lived together.

As luck would have it, the Rislers have an accident on his doorstep.

I can't help it, that's life.

We could also believe that you gave Risler his address

before his escape.

We can't get along with a system.

So what do we do?

Are we leaving the truth in its hole?

Who is behind Reynolds?

Lots of people.

The scandal will drive away what little morality remains.

Are there any left?

Today I know that Simon Risler is screwed.

In your opinion?

I can't do anything anymore. So I stop thinking about it.

I try instead to free Alain Rivière.

He's a very good guy.

He's going to be on TV.

And you will drink a tall glass of shame for stopping him.

Thank you, Mr. Elkabbach.

Alain devoted himself to these drug addicts.

If he could only lean on against a tree.

Or go to a friend's house.

Modest ambitions. It's precisely within my means.

Two more, please.

A smile...

What a beautiful day.

Here it is!

He looks good, the bastard!

The cop, he’s not coming?

The cop doesn't like the countryside.

But you are...

Yes, we know each other.

Come on, let's go back to your place.

And you drive naturally, come on.

Mmh!

I didn't wait for you, I have a hearing at 2 p.m.

- Do you know we had a foal? - Oh ?

Yes yes. It's funny, they were all moved.

Since then, they fell in love from the farm.

So we sail in calm waters. Are you not eating anything?

But say, have they made a self now, here?

It's good, it's practical... to flirt.

We can stand anywhere.

Do you remember the first time,

when I tried to get your attention?

You were reading.

“You look so passionate by your reading,

"Would you be kind enough to tell me the author?"

It was the Civil Code. You made a face!

My license had just been revoked.

If you had taken me to defend you, that wouldn't have happened to you.

We agree. At my next red light, I'll call you.

Tomorrow I pass before the disciplinary council.

And you know what?

I want to be removed.

Alan...

If we both left, very far?

- There are lots of places. - Mmh mmh.

I would heal people.

Then I'll get paid in food, in clothes.

I would cook.

And I'll take care of you all the time.

Hello?

Hello?

You have picked up. Answer.

Hello?

I'm at Florence Nat's?

I am Inspector Lebesque. It's urgent, respond.

Hello?

- Hello? - Florence Nat, I'm listening.

Risler is surrounded in a lock.

He has hostages.

Come and avoid the massacre.

But because he has a debt towards you!

You don't think, you just come.

He has to get out of there, otherwise we'll have to crash into him.

They want to attack at dawn,

in less than two hours.

Listen,

there is a police car which is in front of your door.

She is there.

She'll take you to the helipad, and...

You'll be here in an hour.

I'm not alone.

You come with the Pope, if you want! But you come.

The bad hour is coming.

Not dark enough for the light intensifier.

Not clear enough for normal vision.

A bit like in the Alvaro affair.

But you got it anyway.

Today, it's more vague.

Has your eyesight deteriorated?

No.

I was talking about orders.

I haven't received anything really specific.

Did you come for this?

Almost.

I'm waiting for something new.

An element of relaxation.

- What's new ? - Nothing. Fatigue will work against him.

Laugh!

Risler, can you hear me?

It’s me, Lebesque.

I hear you.

Are they still alive?

Yeah.

I want to hear them. I want to see them.

It's okay!

But help us!

What happens next is up to you.

I don't know anything about your stories.

“I don’t know anything about your stories.”

Is this the end of Risler?

No, please, not now.

Now is not the time!

Let it pass!

Back!

Mr. Prefect, Me Florence Nat.

It's you, Lebesque's big idea?

And all these helmets, are they yours?

- For me, at least, everything is clear. - It's comforting.

Let me pass!

Hey there! Listen to me, something has to be done.

You are from Paris, maybe from the government.

We must prevent them from attacking.

I have my son and his wife

who are with this bandit!

He will surely kill them.

They were just there for the weekend.

It's terrible.

I'm thirsty.

Laughing?

Risler, can you hear me?

It’s me, Lebesque. Do you hear me?

Florence Nat is here.

She has something new. It may help you.

They will attack in an hour.

She has to come in.

Let her speak to you.

She will come in front of the left door.

She's going.

Get up.

Come on !

Are you alone?

You have my word.

He'll kill us if you're not alone.

- You risk nothing. - Open.

Attention.

Our friend hasn't decided yet to speak.

You are there.

Yes, and I hope to have more chances with you only at the assizes.

Anything can happen, in there.

You really believe that the truth will come out from there?

The truth?

It will never be the same for everyone.

A certain truth is sometimes harmful.

You know this better than anyone.

We hide it from the seriously ill person.

The seriously ill, for you, who is this?

Probably the general public.

I wouldn't have fun to answer this question.

It wasn't a question.

You say to yourself: “If I speak, I’m screwed.”

But it's the opposite.

If you keep quiet, you won't make it through the day.

- You won't let him do that. - You are wrong again, always.

I didn't come to tell him to surrender.

I'd rather he shoot you down and he commits suicide,

rather than climbing the scaffold.

But you will live, since it's not difficult to speak.

I already know that you were the Risler brothers' associate.

And that you won nearly 3 million heavy.

Here.

I heard his last words,

on your investments in Spain.

So what are you risking?

On the one hand, death in less than an hour.

Or the confession of trafficking and a battle.

Marshal will pass for shooting the Rislers.

You were injured. A deal with two thugs is nothing.

You are both young.

You will soon be released.

You will still love each other.

It's not just this traffic.

If you killed Pradès, there is no proof.

So don't talk about it.

No.

This is the society in Spain.

It will bring down senior officials

and quite a few industrialists.

But you, my darling, you are not responsible for all this.

You are not compromised with these people. I would know.

Master,

they have killers, never forget that.

I suspect it.

You had become one.

I didn't kill the private sector. It's not me.

So much the better. The killers won't get you.

Prison will protect you.

But unload Risler,

so that we can play self-defense.

As for money, you will say that Maréchal took care of it.

Florence, can you hear me?

The prefect wants you to go out.

They are going to attack.

Well, goodbye, Reynolds. I'll leave you with Risler.

No ! Wait !

We don't want to die. Stay, help us.

What should I do?

Telling the truth about Risler to journalists and the INP.

Well, I agree! Let them all come!

Journalists, go ahead.

I am Chief Inspector Reynolds,

attached to the economic brigade.

I declare that I lied against the Risler brothers.

With Inspector Maréchal,

we gave them the stock address that they could resell.

This lasted several years,

until the day of the accident.

- But what accident? - It wasn't an accident!

- You were waiting for them! - Who shot first?

Maréchal fired first.

This time, it's won.

Before passing before the council of the order.

We'll spare you that.

She absolutely has to stick to it.

Perfectly. I want to nail them.

It's happening on the floor above.

I don't understand why he spends his weekends here.

A scoundrel can love his parents.

Justice will take this into account.

It's true that you wanted to kill the Risler brothers?

I just want to tell you that Simon Risler shot me

in self-defense.

You shot first, then?

But there was also Maréchal.

I don't want anything add more here.

Go ahead.

Write in your own hand, I prefer.

Things are starting to get better for you.

Oh yes.

We got them, Simon. We got them.

Leave me.

Leave me.

A little chance. You have to cover it.

For the second time.

Quickly, to the helicopter.

The legs, and under the kidneys.

Well done again.

It was the others who shot, right?

Is it them?

The others? For what ?

Probably a poorly informed shooter.

It will cost him dearly.

I don't think so, unfortunately.

I leave you these sheets.

Nothing more than what he has already stated to the press.

Enough to save Risler.

I'm very happy for him.

Isn't it?

Okay, go ahead.

You have the papers! You have them!

Garbage! Bastard! It was my only chance.

You're crazy, you don't know! Give me that!

The more big game you bring in, the smaller you will appear.

If he says everything, How much will he be able to get away with?

It will depend on his lawyer.

Take him to the van.

You will help us!

If you love me, you will speak. Swear to me!

I swear to you.

I want to talk now.

You can during the instruction.

No ! There is no more time. Anything can happen.

We no longer control anything. Speak.

We listen to you and we can testify.

Speak before we search to silence you.

It all started ten years ago.

I had just taken care of the Solner affair, the steelworks.

I still had access to the file.

It was a dirty file.

At first I just had to fly an accounting document!

Behind the Solner affair, there was...

No! No !
