"Bravo Kilo Oscar flight level 370 at 03:08." "Converging traffic, same altitude, gaining fast." " Speed?" " 900 knots, 5 nautical." "Don't leave." "The night's still young." "I have to go." "You have a cut there." "Are you a nervous shaver?" "Yes, the morning's..." "You know what you need?" " Yes." " A little relaxation." "Everything's fine, but I..." "Business is stressful, huh?" "Yes, I have to get up very early." " Let's sit down." " My wife's expecting me." "Tomorrow, I have..." "Look at him." "One of our brightest minds, captain of industry, and terrified by a woman." "Fascinating!" "The opposite of his father." "Etienne would be in the bedroom already." "Excuse me." "He'd rather jack off at Mummy's." "Can I have my coat, please?" "Leaving us already?" "I'm meeting my CFO tomorrow at 8:00." "I need a clear head." "It's been good working with you." "Thank you very much." "I'm only following my father's example." "He liked you a lot." "He'd be touched by your loyalty." "Go ahead." "Mr Flandin, why so early?" "Are you bored?" "A prior engagement, I'm afraid." "Sorry but..." "Thank you for the hospitality and the invitation." "We like to celebrate successful deals." "Primitive but enjoyable." "Oi course." " Good night." " Good night." "Hardly the life and soul of the party." "Everybody has a weakness." "We'll find his." "You didn't say the minister was coming." "I'd have invited a boy." "It's just perfect, as ever." "Keller wants a word." "In the hall." "The plane exploded." "Shit!" "What do we do, Victor?" "We start over." "Breaking news." "Several French soldiers abducted in Congo by rebels in the East." "The troops were part of a peacekeeping mission in Kinshasa..." "One week on, rebels holding the French hostages continue to demand that France stop military and financial aid to the Congolese government." "No negotiations for the hostages' release..." "The standoff continues over the hostages." "Paris is sending a..." "Still no news of the hostages..." "France will make a final attempt to negotiate their release." "France condemns Congo's attitude." "The French PM admits discussions, denies negotiations." "STATE AFFAIRS" "The rebels mocked up the execution of one hostage." "They feel betrayed." "Betrayed?" "They think we double-crossed them and blew up our own plane?" "They want to up the ante?" "The new list." "Their leader loves RPGs." "He wants two per fighter." "Deadline?" "Ten days." "Contact the bank, get the funds in place." "I'll tell you how much." "Who knows about the plane?" "You, me, Flandin, Keller and the President's office." "And Counter Espionage?" "We'll find a solution, don't worry." "A solution?" "The plane blew up." "We're not beginners at this." "Mr Bornand is extremely solid and trustworthy." "Unlike me, you mean?" "As my company's head of security, you work for me, not Bornand." "Clear?" "Crystal clear." "Just like my father worked for yours." "If you don't mind." "We don't need you, thanks." "Any leads for the plane?" "A ground-air missile as a welcoming gift." "The Congolese government found out about the delivery." "How?" "I'll protect my company." "It won't get dragged into this affair." "A plane crashed thousands of miles from your home office." "It doesn't concern you." "If there's a leak, I'll defend my company's interests." "Calm down, young man." "You sold me weapons as you would to any other, very loyal client." "Don't forget, we're working for the same person." "A new and bigger order." "Are you joking?" "You're nuts!" " Hostages' lives are at stake." " And if I refuse?" "The President will remember." "From:" "Pres." "Chief of Staff Urgent. 3:00pm." "My office." "The long, tense wait goes on." "In Congo, the hostages' fate is increasingly uncertain." "This morning, in Parliament, the opposition leader," "Jacques Perrot violently attacked the PM, denouncing partisan manoeuvres behind the scenes..." "We hear of discussions, not negotiations." "Contacts, but no talks." "Who's the government trying to fool?" "How long will they lie to the public?" "The truth, Mr Prime Minister, is that eight of our compatriots' lives are in danger due to your erratic African policy." "It'll lead every news bulletin tonight." "Polls show the President's popularity down three points." "Your people produce this?" "On the ball at Domestic Intelligence." "National Intelligence, Bornand." "Since we merged with the DST." "Domestic Intelligence is gone forever." "But not its methods." "Disinformation, manipulation..." "You doubt my professional and political integrity?" "Mr Chief of Staff, I heard of a curious affair this morning." "A cargo plane headed for Congo exploded apparently over the Gulf of Guinea." "A plane with no flight plan." "The nature of its cargo?" "Arms probably." "That's Counter Espionage's field, not National intelligence's." "Unless you're short of work, Macquart." "Any more about the plane?" "The President's against arms sales." "If the hostages are released, the President reaps the benefits." "He's not against that." "Victor, four months to the election, and all hell breaks loose." "The campaign manager is God." "He wants us to cool it." "France's future won't be played out in Congo." "It's about getting on the stump, meeting workers..." " You get the picture?" " I see." "The relevant ministers will remain silent though?" "Oi course." "I'm sorry, but the President asks you to stay away until this blows over." "Having people from minorities in our line of work is an opportunity." "Arabs catching Arabs, is that it?" "No, I mean..." "Officers like you, from the estates, facilitate dialogue in certain investigations." "Sorry, Captain, but in the estates, I didn't do social work." "Just my job as a cop." "And the "minorities" don't like cops." "Having an Arab name changes nothing." "Does Boutard still teach criminal law?" "Yes." "You clearly didn't enjoy his class." "I prefer practical experience." "You'll report to Capt. Bonfils." "Office 23." "They say they have no planes." "They refuse, you mean?" "There's a Russian, Boris Iganev." "I never worked with him, but he has a fleet." "From Antonovs to twin engines." "He can transport anything, land anywhere." "Is he reliable?" "He's expensive." "I have no choice anymore." "Call your Russian." "I'll take care of it." "Olivier..." "Thanks." " Nora Chahyd, is that you?" " Yes." "Bonfils is waiting downstairs." " Capt. Bonfils?" " Yes." "Nora Chahyd." "Your new partner." "I know." "You're late." "Good morning, Mr Bestegui." "I'll bring your coffee." "Great article on Christiani." "He should resign by the end of the week." "Why did you want to see me?" "I received a tip-off." "A plane full of arms explodes over Congo." "Here you are, sir." "The source?" "An anonymous caller." "He said it's an affair of state linked to the hostages." "He has information to sell." "Know anything?" "It's always the same nonsense before an election." "I promise you the President refuses to negotiate." "It's a set-up." "But I'd appreciate it if you found out more." "My newspaper protects its sources." "Mado's hired a little redhead." "Give me 48 hours." "Do whatever it takes." "Get me his name by tomorrow morning." "Police!" "Calm down!" "Let her go!" "Let go of her now!" "He doesn't understand!" "Asshole!" "Look!" "There!" "Leave him alone!" "She's crazy!" "Let him go!" "She'll kill him!" " Stop!" " Cut it out!" "Calm down." "It's all over now." "You beat up a suspect in front of a witness?" "Great instinct." "He was totally wired." "You'd prefer he slaughtered her?" "You know she can file a complaint?" "You get promoted, congratulations." "Your folks must be happy." "You join the crime squad, fine." "But I give the orders here." "So watch, listen and keep your mouth shut." "Hi." "You take that?" "It's no problem." "I'm in control." "The guy who tipped off Bestegui is called Pascal Chardon." "A two-bit fashion photographer when he's not doing porn." "And sometime paparazzi." "Same as that guy on Avenue Montaigne, remember?" "A scumbag." "OK, same deal?" "Same deal." "Get Chardon to talk, grab all he's got." "Find out who he's working for." "He lives at 113, Rue de Belleville, 19th arrondissement." "Pascal Chardon, 113, Rue de Belleville." "Try buying some furniture with it." "Furniture?" "Just collects dust." "Hey, there." "Not exactly what I expected." "No, he's a complete loser." "And unpleasant with it." "Sure, mum, don't worry." "I'm very careful." "Ramadan's started?" "I don't care, I don't fast." "So?" "What's doing?" "Nothing much." "Not even a scooter theft." "Lesson number one." "A cop always has something to do." "Right now, for example, I'm observing you." "Thinking." "Should I take notes?" "Want one?" "Croissant?" "You broke the sculptor's leg." "You gotta cool it." "Thanks." "You know Beranger?" "The TV presenter?" "Yes." "He was at one of Mado's parties Saturday." " With some friends, for his birthday." " Celebrities?" "No, just friends of his." "He wanted some new girls and it got messy." "One of the girls was hospitalised." "Cracked skull." "She's still in the hospital?" "Under observation for five days." "You know where?" "Would I tell you otherwise?" "It's me." "Chardon's banging someone we know." "A journalist?" "Not that classy." "Katryn." "The brunette at Mado's." "She gives him the juice." "Creams off a little extra." "She must have got it from one of our Congolese friends." "I'll try to find out." "What's going on?" "You knew Katryn's banging a small-time blackmailer?" "Your girls aren't there to talk." "What do you suggest?" "I cut her finger off'?" "Her tongue?" "I drop her in cement?" "The situation's complicated enough as it is." "I trust you to find a solution." "You'd rather I go, is that it?" "Fine." "Thanks, Rachid." " He still placing his order?" " You're kidding." "It's all a pose." "You're just jealous of his cool SUV." "I know these jerks by heart." "Jail's too good for them." "All they deserve is a bullet in the head." "Period." "What's up?" "I want a word." "How about we go somewhere..." "Somewhere nicer." "What's it about?" "Pascal Chardon." " Never heard of him." " You've never heard of him?" "No, never heard of him." "Stay here." "Be nice, I have people waiting." "Fernandez, be nice..." "They're waiting for me." "Stay calm." "Calm down." "Let go of me." "Stop playing games, OK?" "Answer me." "Please..." "Cut it out." "Answer me now!" " What the..." " Shut up!" "Drive!" "Move it!" "The file you offered Bestegui, what's the source?" "Where did you put it?" " What file?" " Don't waste my time." " At my place." " Where?" "I can take you and show you." "No need, just tell me." "Upstairs, in my desk." "Good." "Who gave you it?" "I don't know..." "I've no idea, I swear." "We spoke on the phone and I got it from a mail-drop." "That's the truth." " Where're we going?" " Drive." "How much do you want?" "10,000 euros?" "15,000?" "I just got 500 grams of heroin." "Interested?" " How much?" " 500 grams." "Awesome stuff, straight from Burma." "Try it." "We can make a deal." " Where are we?" "What are we doing?" " Cool it." "Calm down." "OK, stop here." "We're lost, right?" "Yeah, that's right." "You told me everything, didn't you?" " You're sure?" " I swear that's all I know." "OK, Felix?" "Look who it is." "You didn't leave town?" " Soon." " Shit to burn?" "Just one." "Inside." "You want the car back?" " Can you take it?" " No problem." "Simon keeps asking after you." " I never know what to say." " Nothing." " How's Brigitte?" " Poor girl, she's got breast cancer." "Damn." "Here." "You want to grab some food?" "Another time, Felix." "You drop me at the station?" "Shit!" "I've got it." "I'm on my way." "You spoke to Katryn?" "Not a chance." "They were together the whole time." "I waited ages for them to leave." "They kept fucking and chatting about stuff." "The file didn't come from Katryn." "It's too precise." "Chardon got it another way." "Anything in his computer?" "Nothing." "We've got a snitch." "Clearly." "Some people don't want the hostages freed, to bring me down." "For the pressure." "You still have it under control?" "What are you worried about?" "It's cool." "It's Burmese." "Very rare." "I found it at Chardon's." "Whoever he's blackmailing has some great dope." "Make Chardon talk." "That's gonna be difficult." "He won't be back for a while." "He had a suitcase." "You're the first." "The Feds are coming." "Thanks." "I'm happy to listen, if you talk to me." "OK then, first impressions..." "Sexual assault and robbery." "One urge too many." "Rapists don't rob?" "I'm not sure he raped her." "No keys." "Why did he steal her keys?" "Is that logical?" " Hi, Bonfils." " Hi, Jerome." "Well?" "For me, something doesn't fit." "Never happy." "You don't change." "We'll leave it to the specialists." "What?" "We were here first." "It's a neighbourhood crime and I live here." "Not up for it?" "Up for it is not his style." "We're busy right now." "I've no objection to you taking it." " I'll tell the DA." " Thanks." "You sounded upset on the phone." "Katryn's been murdered." "They found her body in her garage." "It's weird." "You mention her, next day she's dead." "She was tipping off a guy called Chardon." "That's all I know." "Can you get me a whisky?" "How did it happen?" "I don't know, I'm waiting to hear." "I hosted a party for some big wheels in the press." "They kept talking about that plane." "They've got nothing." "That never stopped a journalist talking." "Let them talk." "As long as they don't publish." "Your little club is as leaky as mine." "Sorry, I have to go." "It was a strictly professional visit." "You see, Macquart, I just don't know if I like this architecture." "I know." "And your habit of meeting on benches is ridiculous." "You're a man in a hurry." "What's this about?" "Newsrooms are buzzing about the plane that exploded." "You didn't do your job properly." "People buy the papers and you buy the journalists, don't you?" "Journalists love rumours." "Especially rumours from National Intelligence sources." "So what?" "Either the rumours stop and everything's right with the world, or they spread and I advise the President to fire you as intelligence chief after he's re-elected, as I'm sure he will." "You're alone there." "There's a third possibility." "The first to claim the other's scalp has won." "Personally, I like that one." "You have this much lingerie?" "Not as many accessories either." "Call girl, huh?" "Looks that way." "She has a roommate." "The board's on edge." "The bank's suspected of money-laundering in property deals." "This plane business is very bad timing." "Are they scared of leaks or losing their investment?" "You brought them so much business, the losses don't worry them." "Tell them there won't be any leaks." "The ministries are with me." "How are you?" " 61st message." " Same here." "Only the beauty salon's not on voice-mail." "Bonfils used to be with the Feds, didn't he?" "Yeah." "What happened?" "He get fired?" "He was politely asked to choose a new posting." "He fingered a politician's son who'd beaten a guy to death." "He was reassigned, but kept digging." "Until the Narcs picked him up." "He was dealing?" "It's known as "helping informants"." "But when a politician calls the DA, it's drug-dealing." "So, back to the police." "I know a nice place on Oberkampf." " Want a drink?" " Thanks, but I'm going straight home." " If I insist?" " Forget it, you're not my type." " What are you doing here?" " Mado wants to see you." "No messing." " Do you mind?" " Sure." "I suspected Katryn." "Maurizio followed her all week." "It was an accident." "What a bummer!" "Bornand knows you killed her?" "No." "Why not?" " It wasn't planned." " Of course!" "It was an accident." "You jerk!" "He'll soon realise." "He thinks Chardon did it." "You know the price for killing one of my girls?" "You do me a favour, or I call my cop friends." "What kind of favour?" "Watch a certain Nora Chahyd of the Crime Squad." "She left messages with almost all my staff." "I don't want her sticking her nose in my business." "Do whatever it takes." "You can go." "One last thing..." "Bornand doesn't know we met, of course." "He's on morphine." "It's not his drug of choice." "Your father has more refined tastes." "I'll wait for you." "Laurence Renaud." "Katryn, if you prefer." "Her checking account was topped up by an offshore company in the Bahamas." "As for Marie Malinvaud, the blonde, no news." "Her parents don't know where she is, but I have a man watching the apartment." "You've done a good job." "Pardon me?" "I said that's good work." "I heard you." "As your first compliment, I wanted you to repeat it." "I hope you can change your flight." "I'm gonna need you some time." "A rumour that will blow itself out, that's all it is." "The journalists have nothing to go on." "What's the President think?" "The hostages' release wins the election." "That's what he thinks." "The rest is irrelevant." "The consignment's ready." "And your Russian?" "The transport's organised." "I'm just waiting on the bank." "You'll be paid on time, as usual." "It's the last time." "I'll never take so many risks." "Never." "I'm done with your lowlife scams." "The risks are shared equally." "You're just doing business." "And making a big profit in the process." "My name's Marie." " You're a translator?" " Yes." "Just like Katryn." "For businessmen." "Don't you get cold in stockings flicking through dictionaries?" "French-English, French-Saudi..." "What do your parents do?" "Dad's a postman, Mum works at the D-Day Memorial." "Ever been?" "Silly me." "Every school kid in Caen goes there." "What will they say when they find out you're a hooker?" "Who do you both work for?" "Who?" " It's to pay for college." " Who?" "Made." "She's..." "We know who Mado is." "Tell us about Katryn." "You knew her well?" "She was like my big sister." " She did it to pay for college, too?" " No." "She worked scams with a guy..." "Pascal Chardon." "Blackmailing Mado's clients." "You didn't even whack her with an iron bar!" "I didn't have one to hand." "How's the parking garage case going?" "Better than your chances of a drink." "Who's Mado?" "She runs a PR firm, that's all." "She bills companies for parties and event management." "Businessmen, showbiz, politicians..." "The full package." " Apartment, sex, drugs..." " We bring her in." "No, we start with Chardon." " Find his address." " You're sure..." " What's that?" " Chardon's address." "My lawyers advise me to diversify." "Would you help me?" "We'd have to see." "But for a license to operate, you're talking to the right person." "From hookers to croupiers is a step up, isn't it?" "You're on the right track." "Michel Fernandez." "Do you know him?" "Come on, let's go." "Look, it's open." " Mr Chardon?" " It's breaking and entering." "Let's take a look round." "No, we'll come back to question him with a warrant." "Just a quick look." "Ever hear of procedure?" "You didn't always care about procedure." "Police!" "Open up!" "Ten years ago, when we founded..." "Victor Bornand and myself..." "Africa Solidarity Finance, everybody smiled." ""A bank for the poor in Africa?" ""You won't be lacking customers!"" "Last year, our organisation made 50 billion CFA francs available, in the form of microloans, to support the projects of farmers, craftsmen and entrepreneurs." "In this way, as one of the objectives Pierre and I share, microfinance helps to build the great Africa of tomorrow." "Sorry." "You need a break." "Hyperactivity's bad for you." "I staked him out all day." "At least I can confirm Chardon's not home." "I sensed it." "He's fled." "And the papers he works for?" "I called." "They haven't seen him for days." "Shit!" " You think he killed the girl?" " I've no idea but..." "She dies, he disappears." "It's over, Nora." "Let's go." "We'll finish the job." "Chardon killed Katryn and Bonfils, simple as that." "He even forgot Katryn's keys in the panic." "Left out where we'd see them?" "It's not as simple as that." "You know a woman called Mado?" "You realise Bonfils has just died?" "Keep your suppositions to yourself and find Chardon, period." "FRANCO-AFRICAN TALKS - THE MINISTER WAS PRESENT" "A word about Katryn's murder?" "If you wish to interrogate me, send me official notification." "On police notepaper with the crest of the French Republic, Miss Chahyd." "You're parked on a pedestrian crossing." "This isn't a housing estate." "You didn't take your mission seriously." "Cop-girl came hassling me." "What do you want me to do, ice her?" " You had no scruples the other night." " What other night?" "The other night, moron!" "Why were you at Chardon's?" "I wasn't there." "Shame, you'd have found a dead cop." "What are you talking about?" "Stop bullshitting." "It was you and now you pay." "I solved the Chahyd problem." "So I want to know everything that Bornand's up to." "You've no choice." "This time, you keep our agreement." "A cop will cost you big time." "You've got crappy taste, Fernandez." "You OK?" "No." "We're off the case." "The file's with HQ." "The Feds will start from scratch." "It's our investigation." "No one is as motivated as me." "We owe it to Bonfils." "The DA's decided otherwise." " The DA or Made'?" " Get out." "An i-Tele exclusive now..." "Contrary to their stated position, the government undertook secret negotiations over a ransom for the release of French hostages in Congo." "A ransom in the form of weapons for rebels in the East." "The operation aborted when the cargo crashed into the Gulf of Guinea." "The President refused to comment." " Can I go?" " Yes." "I'm at a loss for words." "It's quite intolerable." "There have been lists of weapons, massive transfers of funds..." "The government has lied to the nation." "For weeks." "I demand an explanation from the President." "Ministers are panicking." "The opposition wants an inquiry." "The hostages' release would turn the election." "I know it and that bastard Perrot knows it." "Deliver all the arms you want." "If they're released, the President will be eternally grateful." "But whatever you do, you're on your own." " Still don't know who leaked it?" " No." "I thought I'd solved the problem." "I was wrong." "Do what you must, Victor." "I won't even sell you a slingshot." "Find someone else." "I made a list." "Beneficiaries, amounts, your accounts in Luxemburg." " Your percentages..." " I know your account numbers, too." "I even kept your father's, as a souvenir." "You'll sell me the arms, like it or not." "Calm down, Flandin." "Take a break." "It'll help you think this through." " When the bank's ready, I'll call." " Two tycoons, two ministers, a former prime minister and you." "The judges will love it." "Friend of the President or not, screw you!" "You're finished!" "Iganev promised to call me back with the flight plan." "I saw Flandin." "He's nervous." "He saw his lawyers yesterday and stayed out of the office." "He can see himself in court." " You think he's dangerous?" " Yes." "He's weak." "And the source of the leak?" "I've stopped looking." "This time, only my closest allies know about it." "Hold on..." "Happy birthday." "Thanks, that's kind of you." "Come to my party Saturday." "Bring your wonderful heroin." "Sorry, I've lost touch with the supplier." "Excuse me." "Iganev." "Unless I go to Burma personally." "Are you OK, Victor?" "I'm fine." "Laurencin, National Intelligence." " Macquart wants a word." " Why?" "Follow me, please." "We need new shell companies." "Forget Luxemburg." "Go through Monaco, Jersey and Cayman." "Two days, is that feasible?" "Time isn't the problem, Victor." "The bank won't touch you." "After the latest revelations, they're scared." "Screw their scruples." "It's always the same." "This time, it's different." "The board overruled me." "An army of IT guys are on the job, erasing suspect accounts, details of transactions..." "The shredder's working overtime." "They called the President's office." "And got no response." "We founded that bank." "A long time ago." "Miss Chahyd!" "Have you seen our wonderful sewing machines?" "One of our duties is illegal sweatshops." "Every time we close one down, we're flooded with them." "If I say I know the identity of your suspect and offer to have you assigned to Intelligence, are you interested?" "I'm not sure I understand." "Victor Bornand, the President's adviser and godfather of his younger son." "Father made his fortune during the Occupation..." "Government's go-to guy on Africa..." "Not an arms dealer, but he fixes deals and secret payoffs." "Michel Fernandez." "An old acquaintance." "Ex-undercover operative and now Bornand's right-hand man." "Laurence Renaud, better known as Katryn." "Was murdered by Fernandez, who most likely also killed your partner." "I can help you collar him." "And Made'?" "Leave Mado out of this." "That's the deal?" "Come in." "Go on, talk." "Bornand's found him." "Keller's the source." "He's working for Perrot." "Big fan of Asians, Perrot." "Victor can't choose his people." "Keller's a son to him." "It must hurt." "Keep talking." "Keller tipped off Chardon, then Macquart, whose Intelligence boys tipped off the Congolese, who blew up the plane." "Violent, those jiggaboos." "A bit like you." "What's Bornand doing?" "Waiting on the bank, to deliver again." "Of course, Keller's sidelined." "He's got other transport." "Smart and fast." "Never-say-die Victor." "I think we're quits." "You think wrong." "Marie Malinvaud, Katryn's blonde roommate..." "She talks too much." " No, I won't do it." " You will." "Now, I tell you what to do." "He refuses a doctor." "Come in, he's through there." "Wake up." "Can you hear me?" "Wake up!" "Come on!" "I needed to drink my arse off." "Aren't you too old for that?" "We must be the most romantic couple in Paris." "If I went a long way from Paris, would you come with me?" "Wouldn't we be bored to death?" "Come on..." "Dry yourself off." "The President will see you now." "Good evening, Victor." "Take a seat." "Good evening, Paul." "Sorry, but I don't have much time." "I understand." "We call it off'?" "Protect yourself now." "Protect what?" "My honour." "anyway..." "I have work to do." "Seven." " You cleared up?" " I got everything." "I'm gone." "For good." "You should do the same." "I came through worse situations." "Mado gets one, too, I guess?" "I've known you both too long." "You're open books." "Two pieces of news." "Good and bad." " Which do you want first?" " The good." "We've located Fernandez." "He's meeting Made tonight." "The bad news?" "He lost us for 48 hours." "We've no idea what he was up to." "I'm on my way." "Let's go!" "Drop your gun!" "Across the street!" " Keep still." " Don't move your hands." "Freeze!" "Police!" "Stop!" "Asshole!" "Out the way!" "You idiot!" "Katryn was an accident." "Flandin suicide." "Nothing to do with you." "Like Bonfils's murder and Chardon's disappearance." "Just explain one thing to me." "Mado..." "You thought her death would end it?" "If I release you, you're a dead man." "That's why I'll be flying out under your protection." "Pardon me?" "I have a list of the beneficiaries of arms sales." "Names, amounts, account numbers." "It'll bring down the government." "And Bornand with it?" "What do you want?" "We need his confession to Bonfils's murder." "We have enough on Bornand." "Fernandez's word is worthless." "Bornand has protection." "But he's on the list." "You want to see this through?" "Take Fernandez and go get the list." "Then what do I do?" "Buy him a toothbrush and wave goodbye?" "The guy's a murderer." "It won't be like that." "When I have the list, I'll take care of Fernandez and Bornand." "We'll collar Fernandez anytime." "You'll get his confession." "Intelligence always works this way?" "At Intelligence, we use any way that works." "I'm in no state to drive." "Always were a softie, Raphael." " You know him?" " You could say." "He's a former agent." "You're with Intelligence now." "Very well." "The news came in early this morning and was swiftly confirmed by the Foreign Ministry..." "The French hostages detained in Congo were executed last night." "Their bodies were found on an empty lot a few hundred meters from the French Embassy." "The eight men were soldiers with the 12th Infantry Regiment on a peacekeeping mission in Kinshasa following recent political upheaval." "I'm Nora Chahyd." "I was investigating Katryn's murder." "I know who you are." "Your growing reputation has already reached me." "I want a written account of it all."
