"In 1961, at the end of Algeria war, the french army's officers rose up against the government of their country." "GYM FORBIDDEN TO WOMEN" "Hello, Mr Reichau." "Good." "Jeannot, keep your guard up." "Turn on your left." "Your left, Jeannot !" "Use your left." "I have to tell you:" "I got back my... my toys." "He slaughtered him." "Do you know her ?" " She said she knows you." " Me ?" "She said: "I'm a friend of captain Reichau"." "That's why I let her in." "Usually I don't like having chicks around my boxers." "They are deranged and hysterical." "If you had seen her face during the fight." ""The fightings started again a few days ago in Yemen." "The highland forces of Iman Evab harass the egyptian troops."" "You must be stupid to move forward on such a basin without seeing the sides." "Girls are worst than alcohol for boxers." "You can't imagine that !" "Two years ago, I got a youngster, 17 years old." "Pretty good." "With the right spirit." "He could have become a european champ." " Six months ago, he..." " Could you lend me 10 000 francs more ?" "Six months ago, he got engaged." "The first time his chick saw him with a black eye, it was over." "She prefers to see him work in a factory." " I only have 8000." " It's allright, thanks." "Thanks for this and for everything else." " Don't worry, captain." " Don't ever call me like that again !" "Three years spent in jail, I learnt this:" "captain Reichau no longer exists !" "They told me that enough !" "Then fine: it's history." "So call me what you want:" "Jean, Reichau..." "Anything..." "But never like this again." "OK ?" " Yes, captain." " Schmuck !" "You know we're not dead yet." "And the devil walks with us." ""Tell your captain that I love you..."" "Hey buddy, you're laughing alone !" " Are you looking for me ?" " Yes." "So here I am." "But I only have 8000 francs." "I'm the one who pays." "Get in." "Get in, Delta 12." "What are you looking for ?" "Answer me !" "OK, I am..." "I was Delta 12." "So what ?" "What do you want ?" "Somebody different from your boxers ?" "Somebody to frighten you ?" "OK..." "I know many dreadful stories." "In the Cobra Commando, I learned how to kill sentries." "Not with strawed dummies but with living pigs." "We hung them by the front legs, at man-level." "They were dreadfully yelling." "We had to bounce, catch them with one arm and slit their throat." "To see how it feels to kill something living with your knife." "The smell of the running blood..." "Warm." "Very good training." " Very effective." " Shut up." "What do you want ?" "You want me to bomb Orly ?" "It should make a nice blast." "Shut up." "I hate men who think they are men because they made war." "Come." "I have something to show you." "Look at this plane carefully." "The one the aviator is walking towards." "The "Dakota"." "Is that all ?" "Look." "He's checking it out." "He's getting off." "He must be the flight engineer." "Yes, it's him." "He's going to check the fuel out, now." "The plane will take off soon." " Do you know about planes ?" " We had the same in the paratroopers." "I think they modified them a bit." "There's something else..." "Look carefully, now." "On the left..." "More..." "More..." "Here." "It's just mail sacks." "Look." "They are going to load the plane." "Listen." "In 15 mn, this plane is going to take off for Bordeaux." "It's the night mail delivery." "Once in a month, in one of those bags, there's more than five million." "500 million of old francs." "Are you insane ?" "Totally insane !" "As much as me." "You're great !" "500 million." "Every month." "I know on what day." "So what ?" "What do you have to offer ?" "Come with me." "I'll introduce you someone." "He says you're the man I need." " Do I know him ?" " Yes." "Very well." "Bastard !" "Where are you going ?" "Leave me alone !" "You're a fool." "I'll explain you." "Come." "I don't know if you find that funny, but I don't." "Find someone else." "Are you sure ?" "..." "Yes it's true." "You're looking for 8000 francs girls." "But me, I worth much more." "I worth 500 million." ""In Vietnam, war goes on." "The antiaircraft defence shot down a ghost fighter-bomber." "The pilot has been captured." "War goes on." "It had started 20 years ago, in 1946."" "Look this marine, he looks like Kollowitz" "The sergeant who killed himself the last night." "The duel..." "The one who always said:" ""The wine's best quality is his red colour"." "Captain..." "I spoke with one of my guys." "He's here since one year." "Too heavy, not serious..." "His father needs someone." "He's renovating buildings." "He needs somebody to watch his building sites." "It would have a better salary than the job you quit." "You won't have to argue with him." "He's a good man." "I mean he doesn't mind if you just come out from jail." "He was thinking like us for Algeria." "I think..." "I'll go to see him, I promise." "I forgot: the chick came back." "She has been waiting for you for one hour." "She drove Tayeb crazy." "He almost knocked Jeannot down." "After, he kept the door open when he took his shower." "So, did you know her ?" "I'm fed up." "Really." "I'd like to flee away." "Far away..." "Leave this skimpy place." "I need jungle and monsoon." "Do you remember the last night of the platoon ?" "We were supposed to go to live in south America." "Make a community..." "We were supposed to teach the railway technics to the Brazilians, in the jungle." "Grow rice in the mountains..." "We were a bit crazy..." "But we were right." "I hate Paris !" "I need jungle and monsoon." "Get away from here !" "Or there's going to be blood on the walls." "The chick let a message for you." "She's waiting for you tomorrow night at this address." "Next time, I'll tell her to phone, she's going to ruin my gym." "You're not going to get involved in a messy business, right ?" "I keep the car." "The flight engineer is going to board." "He's checking out..." "He climbs on the wing to check the fuel out." "The mail..." "He's not going to come." "What did I told you ?" "Listen to me, captain." "Just five minutes." "We worth 500 million." "I know the date." "You're a former commando and Pierre is a pilot." "And he'll know what to do with the money." "Pierre has friends in Tangier." "They'll change the money for dollars." "I know after your attempted revolution in Algeria, that's him who fingered you to the police." "But it's past." "He told me where to find you." "In your misogynous friend's gym." "Pierre used to be your friend." "Today, he pays." "500 million for three years are fair enough, isn't it, captain ?" "Don't ever call me captain again." "Bastard." "I wouldn't like to walk in your shoes." "Listen to me, Jean." "You hit me, today you're insulting me, but I'm not afraid of you." "And I don't feel ashamed for what I did." "Because I'm well alive !" "I got out of your crazy Algerian business safely." "So don't push me too much." "Because I could kill you if you don't leave me in peace." "Are you armed ?" "Please, Pierre..." "It's OK, Yo." " What's Yo for ?" "Yolande ?" " No." "Pierre has a plan." "Do you want to hear it ?" "Go ahead, Pierre." "Here..." "The "Dak" is landing at 0:30 in Merignac." "Bordeaux-Merignac." "At this hour, there's almost nobody on the ground." "Before to go to park, the plane goes at the bottom of the landing strip." "It's 3 kms away from the control tower" "15 meters away from the strip, there's a wire fence." "And across the wire fence, a road." "And a car." "You can guess what's coming next." "In less than seven minutes, we reach the trunk road." "You'll be on the plane." "I'll explain you." " What's Yo for ?" " Yovanka." " Why ?" " Just like this." "Anyway, it's not my real name." "Sure, you can board the plane." "When the flight engineer is on he wing." "Before the mail arrives." "But your plan is stupid." "You could do something much more better." "Almost safe." "A routine operation." "So, are you in ?" " So ?" " So, he's in." "I know him since fifteen years, you know ?" " He's in, too bad for us !" " What ?" "He's crazy, totally crazy !" "He's going to involve his craziness in the job." "You think his idea won't be good ?" "It's going to be a great idea, he's a professionnal." "But he's crazy." "Didn't you see his eyes ?" " Yes, he has sad eyes..." " Sad eyes, don't make me laugh !" "Do you know the story of the little Russian partisan ?" "The Malaparte story." "He was going to be shot by the Germans but he wasn't afraid." "Or he maybe was an Ukrainian jew, I don't remember." "The officer ask him: "We're going to shoot you." "Aren't you afraid ?" " No." " Why ?" "Because your right eye is sad and you're not going to kill me."" "The officer took a handkerchief out of his pocket and took out his eye to clean it." "It was a glass eye." "They hung the little Russian partisan." "Or he maybe was an Ukrainian jew, I don't remember." "So, be careful of people with sad eyes." "You're also always telling dreadful stories." "What's wrong with you, guys ?" "I don't give a damn about your literary memories." "Do you want fact, then ?" "In 1961, your handsome sad captain, or his friends set a reprisals operation up." "A road on top of a hill, a red and yellow gas truck..." "And down there, a shanty town." "With fellaga sympathies, like all of them." "Lose brake and engine running..." "Boom !" "You're crazy too." "You want to burn, you want..." "I don't know what you want..." "And this lunatic who is setting a kamikaze operation up." "Why did you ask me to contact him ?" "You're right." "That's maybe the first mistake of my life." "It's funny, isn't it ?" "I wanted to see him again." "Do you want to drop it ?" "You look beautiful tonight." "Do you think he's going to do it ?" "Mr Reichau !" " Are you into boxing, now ?" " No, Judo." "Health and sobriety." "Here's what you asked me yesterday on the phone." "Wait." "I feel we are irritating my misogynous friend." "Come on." "Let's work out." "For boxing, women are even worst than alcohol." "Great." "It's great !" "Even better than what I was expecting." "Beautiful, isn't it ?" "A PPK Kalachnikov..." "Russian." "An assault riffle." "You can stop a running guy at 400 meters." "Whatever the body part you hit him." "With 200 machine-guns like this, you can take France over in one night." "And what do you want to do with France ?" "That's the question..." "Nothing." "France doesn't like us." "We took it over once, already." "It's a beautiful lady." "But she doesn't like us." "If I had this Kalachnikov in Oran, at the time this bastard fingered me..." "Never be a prisoner !" "I'll never be a prisoner again." "You know, death is not that bad." "I thought I was going to be executed, once." "I was same as a stone." "Have you ever seen men being executed ?" "They stand like this." "Sometimes with a blindfold." "Sometimes, their hands are tied up behind their back." "Sometimes..." "They say "no", like this." "But it's rare." "They are usually same as stones." "Why Yolanka ?" "You are German, why this slav first name ?" " Why do you want those million ?" " Because I need them." "Ah, this, of course..." "It's funnier than all the rest..." "Do you still need me ?" "Captain ?" " Is there any French here ?" " What ?" "Is there only foreigners on the site ?" "The French don't want to do that kind of job anymore." "Oh, sorry boss." "You were a fellouze during the war, right ?" " Yes." " Where ?" "You really know everything." "There is work for several years." "What I need is someone who can hold the guys..." "A leader." "You'll start with 80 000 francs a month." "Health insurance, paid holidays..." "Three weeks." "And after six months, if it's working like I think it will, you'll make about 100 000 francs." "Here's what we are going to do: hijack the plane to take it in a place of our own." "We set this up from Cognac." "From there, we head to our place, a beach." "From there, even with the drift and everything, we shoudn't be mistaken." "I'll need the weather forecast 24 hours before." "The best is still TV." "We always watch it before to go somewhere." "What's the routine of the radio contacts ?" "They call when they leave Orly and when they approach the landing field." "What about the radar ?" "There's no problem with the military radar, they don't bother scheduled flight." "The problem is Merignac, the civilian radar." "It's quite effective." "What is the lowest detection limit ?" "1000 feet." "At 1000 feet the echo should cause interferences." "So, 1000 feet on the south-west of Cognac is OK ?" "Affirmative." "There's no obstacles above 400 feet." "There are three important points." "First: operation's date." "Second:" "location and runway ligthning of our place." "Third, this one is harder:" "I want to view one of the postal's plane." "OK, I'll set this up for you." "It's your turn, now." "Me ?" "You're the one who'll give us the go..." "The date." "The 27th." "The 27th of each month." "It's six days from now." " We'll do it next month." " No." "Next month," "I'll be in jail or out of France." "Find the location tomorrow." " Take Yo with you." " No chicks in operation." "Six days is fucking short !" "Listen Jean, you won't be on that beach on the 27th." "So Yo must know the spot you'll choose." "Go on a week-end like a loving couple..." "Remember you were still in jail three weeks ago." "I don't forget, Pierre." "I don't forget." "So it's settled." "We leave together tomorrow." "Well." "In these conditions, we have one hour before the police starts searching." "But we could have a lifetime !" "A bomb, the plane fall down to the ocean... just an accident." "A lifetime..." "Madame or Monsieur ?" "It doesn't matter." "That's the trail of the Atlantic wall." "A tank block." "They stuck steel girders in those holes." " Who ?" " The Germans." "The Germans came up to there ?" "The sea." "These tracks suck." "They are real mousetraps." "We'd get caught for sure." "I think I found a place." "Let's go back to Bordeaux." "We'll do it at Lacanau." "The tide is going out." "What were you looking for ?" "Nothing." "I just wanted to know the currents." "It's fine." "So that's where we're going to do it ?" "Just like this, in front of the village ?" "Did you see the funeral, yesterday ?" "There's almost nobody on wintertime, here." "And Bordeaux is less than 30 minutes away" "Are you really going to bomb the plane ?" "Why ?" "Are you afraid ?" "There's a lot of blood inside a man's body." "You don't know it until you see it with your own eyes." "Liters and liters of blood." "The tide is going out." "It will be coming back in after 6." "If between the time it's out and the time it's back in, we'd pour the blood of all the men in it..." "At high tide, It would not be higher than my thumb's height." "I don't like this Jean." "We loose wars because there is things we dislike to do." "In Algiers, at the time of the putsch, if we had..." "They would have been better off execute me." "Yo !" "If you want, we can stop everything." "Let's go back, now." " The rudder cables." " I know." " And this ?" " Flash flares, in case of crash." " How many sacks per compartment ?" " About ten." "The radio ?" "Here and here." "Give me some light." "The cape ?" "Yes." "The altimeter..." " The compass, now." " Here..." "At the vertical of Cognac, the big pointer is going to turn down." "That's the time to change cape." "You shift from 209 to 243." "It will be around midnight." "Who's that ?" "I don't know." "A guard..." "Yet, nobody should be there at five on the morning." "Where are the fuel tanks ?" "In the wings, here and here." "Why ?" "If the plane explodes and fragments are found in the ocean, we better make the explosion looks normal." " I'll put the bomb here." " You're going too far." "Don't move !" "What's wrong with you ?" "Are you insane ?" "You're a scumbag, Pierre." "A bastard !" "I could kill you now." "Look at my hand." "You're crazy." "You really are." "I didn't forget Oran, Pierre." "And I'll never forget it." "Pull yourself together, buddy." "You're deathly pale." "You were afraid, right ?" "That's what I wanted to know." "If I still could frighten someone." "Come on." "Let's have a drink." "Who's going to be on the crew ?" "The 27th..." "Did you inquire about the crew ?" "Yes." "Delpierre is the captain." "He was in Indochina." "You must know him." "He has done a lot of missions for the army." "We'll have to wear masks." "What for ?" "If the plane explodes, you don't give a damn if they recognize you." "You don't want they know, right ?" "Before they die..." "You don't want they know that you're also a scumbag." "What about the others ?" "New guys." "They never flew outside of France." "Small potatoes..." "Well." "There is some changes to our former plan." "First, with the sound of the waves, you'll only hear the plane at the last moment and won't be able to direct me." "In Cognac, I'll head two or three degrees more to the north." "That way, when I'll arrive at the ocean, our place will inevitably be in the south." " We don't need the radio, then..." " We do." "You'll give me the direction and the wind speed at ground level." "We'll need an anemometer." "Our place is Lacanau ocean." "Are you out of your mind ?" "Not at all, you'll see." "Yo's going to explain you." "In less than an hour, we'll be safe in Bordeaux." "The road is straight." "I don't feel it." "By the way..." "I thought about something to set the operation up." "It's always possible that I can't get in the plane." "So don't wait for me all night on the beach." "Wait for me with Yo in this cafe." "Nobody's going to pay attention to you." "If I didn't had call at 11..." "Understood ?" "By the way, how was it with Yo ?" "She's a cynical and selfish bitch, you know ?" "Did she tried to hit you on ?" "She's a bit nymphomaniac, too." "Don't trust this bitch..." "You take care of the radio." "Here we go." "Your eyes..." "You're beautiful." "Your breasts, give me your breasts.." "Yes !" "Like this..." "Your thighs..." "Watch out!" "..." "Don't move, bitch !" "..." "Here." "I'll come back in a couple of hours." "You're leaving ?" "Bye, my sweet." " Bye." " See you later." "Don't forget to come back." "I'm afraid." "I saw Pierre." "He told me." "He's afraid of you." " Yes, he is." "Since Oran, he's afraid of me." "That's why he sent you to me." "To know." " He said you're crazy." "He thinks you're crazy." " Did you ever love Pierre ?" " No." "I mean, I liked him." "He was very nice to me." "And his realistic temperament was funny." "You shoudn't had frighten him like this." "Yo, are you really sure the money's going to be in the plane ?" " Yes." "So, this money will be ours on the day after tomorrow." "It's a routine operation." "The sensitive moment will be on the beach." "If I was in Pierre's shoes, that's where I would kill Reichau." "You're crazy." "We'll go together to South-America." "The regiment's vets will join us later." "You'll see." " You'll maybe see, Jean." "But don't count me in." "What do you think ?" "I want to live !" "Listen, Jean..." "You could find a job with your abilities." "There's only three jobs for a man:" "King, poet or captain." "Unfortunetly, I'm not a poet." "I posed and didn't had the time to change my clothes." "And it was funny to meet you dressed like this." "The buddies are all here, we're only waiting for you." "I come." "I put this away and I come." "Hi, captain !" "So, Reichau, how's freedom ?" "You see, dear friend, we all came." "Do you remember, major ?" "The last night, when the regiment has been dissolved, we all decided to leave for a new country." "In South-America." "We wanted to create a kibbutz together." "But we needed money to start." "Well gentlemen, that's it !" "This money, I'm going to have it." "If you want, we can meet in one month in Brazil." ""The wine's best quality is his red colour"." "Like your friend Kollowitz used to say." "Reichau..." "I hope you're not going to do a crazy thing." "A crazy thing ?" "My finest commando raid." "My seventh landing..." "Not the seventh, the eighth." "But this time, there will be no seventh fleet to cover my back." "It's going to be double or quits." "And what will be quits ?" "Jail again ?" "There will be no more jail for me." "Reichau..." "Don't cross the seventh circle." " What circle ?" " Come on." "Don't you remember this old chinese legend ?" "Death is in the centre of the seven circles of fear." "At the core of a target." "The man who never crossed the first circle in his life is a coward." "The man who crosses the five first circles is brave." "The man who crosses the sixth circle is daredevil." "And the one who crosses the seventh is a madman." "He enters then the kingdom of death."" ""The kingdom of death"..." "We entered it a long time ago, already." "Look at them." "They all have a new life." "They have their wifes..." "They are telling each others their past feats and cry on the ingratitude of their motherland." "They won't come." "And you ?" "My father-in-law has a fourniture business." "I run it..." "I'll maybe write my memoirs one day." ""We don't only have weapons, but the devil is walking with us..." "To our elders of the legion..."" ""B52 and sky raiders had drop 800 tons of bombs on the iron triangle." "Last month, the bomb tonnage dropped in Vietnam reached 90% of the total tonnage used during the 37 months of the Korea war."" "What ?" "Missus !" "Be sure he doesn't move..." "What's the doctor saying ?" "Reichau was right: 28 minutes." "Give me some light." "Thanks." "You are in every walls." "Even at Lacanau ocean !" "Pierre, somebody's here." "Give me a hand instead of saying stupidities." "Your captain is an idiot to do that in such a place !" "Paulot, go check at the back." "There's probably something wrong with the rudder cables." "What's Paulot doing ?" "I'll show them !" "What was wrong ?" "Don't move !" "Don't move !" "You get out of here !" "Quickly !" "Quietly or I shoot !" "Don't touch anything." "Do you want the plane ?" "What for ?" " Not the plane." "The cargo." "If you do anything stupid, I shoot your friend." "Cognac's vertical." "Drop the automatic pilot and go down at 1000 feet." "Cape to 243." "If you are so smart, do it by yourself." "Do as I say." "Next shot will be right in his face !" "Quickly !" "Cape to 243." "Here it is." "It's OK, stop." "Cape to the south." "Go along the sea." "You're going to kill him." "I know it." "You're going to kill him or he's going to kill you." "You're crazy !" "You're afraid for your captain, isn't it ?" "But he can't kill me, because what could you do with the money, both of you ?" "I'm the one who have connections in Tangier." "Black-red cobra, speaks." "But me, in a few minutes," "I won't need him anymore." "Black-red cobra, speaks." "Red-black cobra, I'm listening." "Red, please repeat." "20 kilo, 2X10, west, northwest..." "Negative, negative." "I repeat: 20 kilo, 2X10, west, northwest." "Received." "Over." "Listen to me." "When you'll see the fires, you'll head to them." "I'll be at the back with your friend." "If you do anything stupid, I'll shoot him." "And don't try to make me lose balance." "I'll keep your friend close to me, the gun pointed at his back." "Do anything stupid, I'll kill him and come back for you." "So don't try to be a hero, OK ?" " There's no way you can make it !" " Shut up !" "Jump !" "Jump !" "Watch out Yo, it's going to explode !" "Fool !" "Bloody fool !" "It should have exploded..." "A flash flare." "Watch out, Jean !" "He's going to kill you !" "He's going to kill you !" "Give me the bag !" "I could have killed you." "Yo was sure I was going to do it." " No." "You gave me once but you're too stupid to kill me." "Watch out, Jean." "I can still kill you." "No." "Bastard." "Now, let me tell you:" "I'm the one who fuck you." "Mail !" "..." "No !" "Here !" "Eat your fucking money !" "Go find a phone." "Quickly !" "There is no line." "It doesn't matter." "A bullet in the liver..." "He's not going to make it." "It's all your fault." "Why didn't you take the money ?" "Why ?" "What are you going to do, now ?" "No..." "No !" "Bastard !" "Coward !" "Bastard..." "Go get yourself killed..." "That's what you always wanted." "Bastard..." "Halt !" "..." "Halt !" "In the name of the law !" "Halt !" "Shoot." "This schmuck is not going to go far away." "Bastard." "Translation and timing:" "Aquasantajoe" "For Cinemageddon March 22nd, 2009"
