"Not the city." "Lemon, sugar?" "I must say, your call came as a surprise." "What brings you?" "I heard your acceptance speech." "Lot of talk of change." "A word I like." "Get to the point." "What's your offer?" "Headlines about our relentless new minister." "Now you interest me, my boy." "Go on." "The DEA gave me a lead." "Put me back on the case." "We're recruiting a team." " Officially you'll be training." " For what?" "Criminology, running, sewing, who cares?" "We track Minassian." "Secret setup." "How did you know Deferre would switch?" "He switched sides beforehand." "What was his first move as minister?" "No idea." "He fired Minassian." "A clear signal." "Some more?" "Minister Deferre is ditching his old pals." "You made this?" "My wife went out." " Want to marry me?" " No thanks!" "Minassian!" "You came from America to tell me this, Charly?" "Listen..." "I got him to give you a last chance." "But lower your prices." "A last chance?" "For me?" "What do you want?" "Wage war with Santo?" "On the next shipment, I'll knock off... 5%." "15." "Have them stop the racket." "10%." "It's 15... or nothing." "You blew him off with his 15%?" "Of course I did." "I didn't blow him off." "I had no choice." "Without them, we're nothing." "They got us by the balls." "Without them, no money." "And the Krypton?" "The Krypton makes nothing." "Every day it costs me, every day." "It's just... a mirage to keep Christiane happy." "Without dope, we lose it all." "No more Krypton, no more Zampa." "No more." "It'll be all right." "Meet Magistrate Michel." "Richard..." "Stéphane..." "Simon and Ludovic." "Follow me." " So, what do we have?" " Not much." "120 hours of conversation." "They talk a lot." "Their kids, soccer, pesto, never Minassian or drugs." "As if they knew." "This way." "Welcome to the DEA." "Guys, look who's here." "The French cowboy." "It's an honor to meet you" "Alright, alright." "That's enough circus, here." "He's got a lot of work ahead of him, Judge, welcome to New York." "Thank you." "Follow me, I'll take you to interrogation." "So the DEA offices here are basically split up, do you understand English?" " A little." " Okay." "This space, we split up into continents, basically," "South America, Africa, what used to be Europe is now France, for obvious reasons." "What do they say?" "Beaucoup de travail." "A lot of work." "That is a nice suit, you guys are snappy dressed, French." "Asia, rest of Europe here." "Interrogation, he's waiting for you, he's all hot and bothered." "Bob's outside the door, have fun." "I don't believe it." "Icing on the cake." "Glad to see you too." "You know who I am." "So give me what I want." "Hold on." "I told them everything." "We cut a deal:" "house in Canada, probation..." "Minassian disappeared." "It's my fault?" "Not your fault, your problem." "A new lead or prison with Puerto Ricans." "Your choice." "I never should have been on that boat." "My men make that trip." "With the mess you made, no one would come." "I really regret it." "Focus on the pictures." "Know him?" "I don't, but that's Marco Da Costa." "Him?" "Da Costa." "Tell me more." "Been hanging with the mob for years." "Knows everyone." "Connection to Minassian?" "They came to the factory together, but ages ago." "Think Da Costa works for Zampa?" "I have no idea." "Probably." "I never met the big boss." "Anything else?" "Not enough?" "Why not ask who shot Kennedy?" "Do you know?" " Canada is colder than Marseilles." " I've heard." "I confirm it." "Da Costa." "No criminal record." "Officially he owns a restaurant but he's never there." "He prefers hanging in clubs with local thugs." "Tell me something interesting." "It's coming." "Da Costa, Ange and Bianchi were in the SAC." "Stéphane, please." "Militant Gaullists, friends for fifteen years." "Da Costa is middleman between the Corsican Cops and Zampa." "There we go." "What's his love life like?" "Men, women, both?" "He likes Dora Meurisse." "Have a look." "One on the left." "He's putty in her hand." "What do we do?" "We stay on him." "Dora, baby..." "Take a walk." "We have business." "Really?" "Are you serious?" "I'm gone." "You can follow it in here." "Magistrate." "Ready?" "You're not on your two legs." "You're hopping." "Not easy." "Number 2 to base." "They went right." "Stéphane, they're coming." "They went left." "Towards an old farm." "Size 42?" "Give me a 40!" "I found the house." "Tomorrow at La Ciotat." "They're coming, sir." "We'll keep ready." "Chemist got in Da Costa's car." "Great place." "Clean, good food." "I got a theory." "You have to eat good and feel good in a restaurant." "Once, I was with Jeannot." "He said, "This place is okay."" "What's okay?" " What's wrong?" " We're out of range." "Drive faster!" "We lost the signal!" "I lose my temper, but I don't care." "Not enough sleep." "I'm tired." "At least I was on time." "What the hell?" "What's that for?" "To stay ignorant." "So I can't be accused of blabbing." "You look like Batman." "We're almost there." "If the house is okay, we start in three weeks." "Fine." "Miss!" "See her?" "I forgot!" "It's here." "They went down a road." "What do I do?" " Lab must be close." " Drive on." "We'll stake out the house." "Good job." "Perfect." "Wine, Mrs. Zampa?" "Château Roubine." "I'm craving sea urchin." "Got enough?" "I think so." "Just a minute." "It's all set." "Test the dope." "Manage transport." " And Minassian?" " Gone." "It's you." "Pain in the ass." "Move over." "Alvarez to Central." "Monday..." " Still broken." " I liked that." "Trust your husband." "For you." "I'll get him." "Tell them I'm coming." "Don't worry." "I'll finish that later." "Sir..." "In position." " Move in." " Copy that." "Come on, guys!" "Let's go!" "Keep me informed." "Police!" "Freeze!" "What's going on?" "Da Costa is running!" "Drop it!" "Get down!" "Your arm!" "Both!" "Your hand!" "Gaëtan?" "Let's go, honey." "What is it?" "Talk to me." "Tell me." "Look at me!" "Talk!" "I'll call you back." "I have a call." "The problem is Da Costa." "If he talks, we all go down." "We know Marco." "He won't talk." "The magistrate won't give up." "He's a mad dog." "He'll grill him real bad." "Ange, what do we do?" "No, not that." "Not Marco." "Da Costa is here." "Bring him in." "Why is she here?" "Leave the cuffs." "Sit." " We searched her apartment." " You can't!" "Don't tell me what I can do." "This notebook is all I need." "What notebook?" "What notebook?" "It's his number." "Still don't know Zampa?" "That notebook isn't mine." "So it's hers." "No, not hers." "Not mine either." "You're caught red-handed." " That's twenty years." " I know." "Her link to the godfather gets her ten years." "Give us Zampa for witness protection." "What protection?" "You can't protect me." "No one can protect me from Zampa!" "If I talk, I'm a dead man!" "If you don't talk too." "This means death." "Forget Marseilles." "Testify and it's Canada." " I can't." " You can." "I can't talk." "I'm scared." "I can't fucking talk!" "Talk, please." "Dora!" "I beg of you." "Don't do this to me." "Please, talk." "I'm begging you." "I want two passports." "And a letter from the President." "Then I'll talk." "No way." "Impossible to ice Da Costa." "Guarded 24/7." "If he talks, we're done." "The Corsicans drop us and we rot here." "Got men outside?" "I have a solution but if we do it," "Tany will take the fall." "Let me through!" "It's my husband!" "Let go!" "Many people change opinions easily..." "Hi, Jeannot." "You okay?" "Adventure is exhausting!" "I wish a car would come." "Look." "There's one." "That's a truck." "Hop on, we'll take you there!" "Thanks!" "I'd prefer a florist." "Magistrate Michel was shot dead." "Keep reading." "Impossible conditions for travel!" "I think so too." "I got an idea." "I'll be right back." "The most expensive part of a car is the engine." "You should get in." "I don't want you crying." "Look at me." "You're a man now." "I'm not leaving, just hiding." "Come out!" "The house is surrounded." "Put that down." "You have 30 seconds to come out!" "Then we come in!" "Put your hands up!" "On your knees!" "Today is historic." "A victory of justice over crime." "I am proud to know Gaëtan Zampa is behind bars tonight." "And I congratulate with all my heart the Marseilles police officers who joined forces over the past weeks to carry out this operation." "As I say these words," "I cannot but think of my friend Pierre Michel, the magistrate who fearlessly gave his life to put an end" "to the French Connection." "His death is a great loss for France." "Justice must be done."
