" Motherfucker!" " Son of a bitch!" "Dream on, cuz!" "Get on...huh?" "No...not now." "You see..." "I'm at meal." "Will this do?" "You're a real dealer." "Who do I kill?" "Get me to the airport in 20 minutes!" "20 minutes?" "It's a cinch." "You'll love it." " Mind some music?" " Can we move it?" "Lift off!" "Marseille in winter there are no tourists." "Isn't that lucky?" "That's enough sight-seeing." "Buckle up." "I'll need third gear." "No problem." "Got any change?" " No" " Me neither." " Was that Daniel?" " Or the Air Force!" "He's on form." "They won't catch him today." "Don't talk too soon." "The police have a new weapon." "What?" "They gonna bombard him with figs?" "It's a secret weapon." "It's slow today." "Shit!" "298 km/h!" "Listen up!" "A white taxi clocked at 298 km/h!" "He's ours." "I thought they'd nodded off." " That's the police." " They're buddies." "We like a joke." " Get his number." " You bet." "That's an e-mail." "Enough fooling." "Hold on!" " Why d'you stop?" " I'm at top speed!" " Nitro?" " No, a friend of mine mixes it up." "I'll give you the address of his bar." "Kind of you." "Is that the TGV?" "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Just needs a bit more power." " Where now?" " Here's fine." "19' 32"!" "Bravo!" "Most clients, as soon as I stop, need a sick bag." "Thanks." "Are you sure this is it?" "OK, I get it!" "Thanks for your help." "Hey, don't I know you?" "If we'd met I'd remember you." "Bye" "Emilien'll be mad." "Taxi 3" "What's wrong?" "Nothing..." "A nightmare." "Go back to sleep." " What you doing?" " Nothing." "I can't sleep." "That gang again?" "For 8 months, they're all I've thought about." "I know!" "8 months." "I need to talk to you." "They just slip between our fingers." " Did you hear me?" " Sure." "I need to talk too." "They dress up as Santa Claus!" "You don't believe in him?" "They're going to surprise us." "And I'm going to surprise you." "I have to nail them before Christmas." "We need to talk before Christmas." "OK, that's a deal." " What you doing?" " Going to work." "It's 3 AM!" "It is?" "Good." "Less traffic." "No Christmas shoppers." " No kidding." " Better that way." "See you at the office." "I'd like an appointment!" "Lily!" "You're awake?" "It's 4 A.M and you're doing repairs." "Not repairs." "It's winter." "I'm adjusting her for when it's cold." "Better install a radiator in my bed." "so I don't get cold either alone in my bed." "But me, it's all year round," " Don't say that." " Hands off!" "Or I'll need the scrub-thingy." "What scrub-thingy?" "That cleans pot and pans and, sometimes, numbskulls like me." "I'll be right up." "I don't think so." "After you wash, you stink of turpentine." "And then it's time to get up for work." "You're on top form!" "I got in 2 hours ago." "You were asleep so I came down here rather than watch TV." "Daniel!" "We have no TV!" "It's the principle." "No TV!" "No music!" "No curtains!" "No couch!" "No vases!" "But, hey, you don't send me flowers!" "We have a fridge full of lamps but it's a fridge!" "The shower stinks of gas, the laundry of car wax and the closet's so full of tires" "Finally we have every couple's ultimate luxury..." "A garage!" " You got your period?" " Just the opposite!" "I'm just sick of living in a garage." "A woman isn't a Barbie with soft skin." "A woman moves, evolves and occasionally, likes a bit of comfort!" "All because I'm working on the car!" "Women!" "What's the deal with turpentine?" "Lily, what are you doing?" "Going home." "You prefer a boot camp?" "With curtains, a garden and flowers!" "It's stupid!" "We can't..." "You liked living here." "Now I don't but you won't listen." "You live for your car!" "It's too small for both of us." "It's her or me!" "Take your pick!" "Hi, honeys, taking the kids out?" "It's humour!" "A joke!" "Fun in the workplace, see?" "Merry Christmas to you!" "What you doing here?" "You spend the night?" "I was just taking 5." "The file is printed to your face." "If it's the rings on a tree" "It looks as if you been asleep maybe... 20 years!" "OK, forget I spoke." "Nobody has a sense of humour." "I thought the police had fun." "Fuck off, will you!" "I got some great Moroccan!" "Dirt cheap." "Want a little?" "From the high plateaus." "Hold on, we're not into that." "You're missing out." "A little coke?" " Rachid!" " Have a nice day!" "What the hell was that?" " And who's this?" " That's Bob Marley." "This isn't some kind of squat!" "What about the gang?" "The Santa Claus Gang?" "Ring any bells?" "37 jobs in 8 months and no leads!" "I go over and over it." "Nothing!" "I feel empty, stupid, useless..." "Sure you won't have" " a Rachid pick-me-up?" " No!" "Just trying to help." "How about... breakfast?" "Get your strength up." "OK, breakfast then." "Jeez!" "Someone's hungry." "I don't eat." "My mind's on the gang!" "Nightmares!" "Tied up by dancing Santa Clauses." " It's horrible!" " Stop, please" "Your lace is undone." "It's Christmas." "Santa everywhere." "In July, we'd easily spot them." "Except, in July, we didn't spot them." "They must be planning a huge job!" "One thing's bugging me." "Why do they dress up as Santa Claus?" "Who'd suspect Santa of anything?" "He looks so sweet with his red costume" "often too big for him." "Or too small." "It's an ideal disguise for concealing..." "A gun!" "If Monsieur's looking for the perfect blender; fruit, vegetables, purées" "If Monsieur has children..." "Everybody get down!" "Police!" "You're under arrest!" " What happened?" " I got him!" "After 8 months!" "How d'you know he's with the gang?" "Does Santa often carry a gun on him?" " How did you know?" " The jerk dropped it." "No kidding, he's a jerk!" "The Chief will love him." "Hey, Chief, we got one of the..." "He's never in." "Sit down and don't move." "OK?" "While we're waiting, I'm Chief." " Suit the desk, huh?" " Cut it out!" "He's not here!" "Anyhow, promotion's coming my way now." "OK." "Daddy Claus how d'you get a police gun?" "Who d'you steal it from?" "Alain, he needs an address." "Marseille region?" "If you need help, we have the yellow pages." "So what about the gun?" "You realise we just look on the computer and we find the fool who got his gun stolen." "Shit!" "He stole Gibert's gun!" " No!" " I swear!" "You know this is our Chief's gun?" "Maybe you'd like to explain?" "Alain!" "Maybe he'd answer without the tape?" "You could be right." "Emilien!" "Chief!" "Somebody needs me." "Why the disguise, Chief?" "I'm doing my job!" "I dressed up to infiltrate the gang and you screwed it up!" "I'm sorry, but why not let us in on it?" "It wasn't an invasion." "It was infiltration." "Alone!" "Don't worry." "I'll see you get the chance to dress up and direct traffic!" " Get these cuffs off me." " Sure, Chief." "Shit, they're Alain's cuffs." " Hurry up, Emilien." " 5 minutes!" "You're Captain Gibert?" "Not yet." "I mean, I'm not Captain yet." "I'm not Gibert either." " I mean I'd hate to be Gibert" " Be right back, Chief!" "You are Captain Gibert?" "That's me." "What can I do for you?" "My name is Qiu." "That's cute, Qiu." "Very cute." "You are..." "I could get to like you..." " Like..." "You're Chinese?" " Yes." "From my mother." "Swiss from my Dad." "Great." "I love the Swiss." "I work for the magazine" "World International, writing a piece on French police." "I asked to follow a major detective and you are the biggest" "True enough I mean, 6'3" is fairly big" "For a cop, it's rare." "That's impressive!" "Sometimes, looking the mirror, I impress myself too" "Could I stick close for a few days?" "As long as you like." "I mean..." "As long as your piece takes." "You know, I get close to my piece too." "Thanks." "Can we start?" "With pleasure." " Thank you, Qiu." " It's OK." "Why are you dressed as Santa right here in your office?" "This is my camouflage gear." "It's to infiltrate the Santa Claus gang." "We need to get inside their minds and bodies." " The cuffs?" " They're not mine!" "Any other questions?" "Enter!" "Bad time?" "No, it can't get any worse." "As you're not doing anything, I'd like to talk." "No time now, we'll talk at home." "At home, your mind's on work." "So I thought I'd better catch you at work." "Not today, Petra." "OK?" "For 8 months you've said that." "I'm in the shit!" "Don't push me under, will you!" "What's happened now?" "I saw a Santa Claus." "With a gun!" "I thought of the gang." "With or without a gun, it's all you think about." "This was Santa with a gun!" "So I neutralised him." "All by yourself?" "Not the gang, then?" "Not even!" "Gibert in disguise!" "You can laugh." "I could have died." "You should console me." "Console you?" "I don't know, say something sweet, give me some good news." "I'm pregnant." "That's good news, isn't it?" "Sure..." "But..." "Since when?" "Since 8 months." "How did that happen?" "The Holy Spirit came down." "8 months ago?" "I'd have noticed." "Your breasts are all..." "So that's why they're..." "Are you going to keep it?" "It's a bit late now, huh?" "Sure." "Why didn't you say?" "I tried to tell you." "I put cauliflowers all over." "Look..." "I wondered about that." "And photos from the scan." "They're everywhere!" "That's my baby?" "Mine." "If you want in, buck up." " Is it normal?" " Knowing the dad, you might wonder." "But, oddly enough, it's normal." "So, if you're pregnant and it's normal and you're keeping it I'm going to be a dad." "Very good." "They could use you in the police." " You'd go far!" " Me, a daddy?" "Yes, and this kid will need a great dad." "You can count on me, Petra." "Lily!" "You're not laughing now." "What use is a car without the woman you love?" "Rapid Test?" "What's a Rapid Test?" "2 lines?" "What's that mean?" " Hi!" " Hi!" " Do you have the box that comes in?" " Let's see." "Isn't it some kind of pregnancy test?" "Precisely!" "Can we hurry?" "Don't move." "It's next to the condoms." "I'm out of stock." "We had a rush on them." "Women like to give a little baby for Christmas." "That's what I'm thinking." "I understand." "I'll ask my daughter." "Angele!" "She helps out, she knows it all by heart." "It's impressive." "Angele, what's this?" "Sorry." "I try to be careful but I was drunk." "I told you to help yourself to condoms." " There were none his size!" " Whose?" " I dunno." " You don't know his name?" "I was drunk." "I forgot their names." "Merry Christmas!" "This is serious." "The Santa Claus Gang defies us." "I tried a solo commando mission only to be thwarted by Emilien." "Never mind." "The future is ours." "We'll do with it what we will do." "Tomorrow!" "Starting today!" "You can quote me." "It's clumsy but effective." " Your lace is undone." " Wonderful." " Indeed." "Where was I?" " This is serious." "I won't accept excessive haste or badly digested process." "Don't quote me." "We must be perfect irreproachable..." "Extra clean!" "Last summer I worked with the NYPD." "I picked up some jargon." "Isn't that wild?" "So, hear this, men!" "I want the Santa Claus Gang behind bars before Christmas." "So, no days off, medical certificates or letters from your parents." "On top of that, Ms. Qiu a journalist with World International." "will accompany us." "Let's give her a good image of our police force." "The key words on this mission" "Consult!" "Plan!" "Act!" "I have named this Operation Snow White." "Blanche Neige in French." " Guess who are the dwarves." " Wonderful." "From now on, everybody's on deck 24/7!" " Questions?" " Me!" " What's the gift?" " What gift?" "Sweet." "Is it my birthday?" " What month?" " July." " It's for Christmas then." " Never mind." "I haven't got that one." " Who's it from?" " They know your hobbies." "There's a little button on the top." "Put your guns down!" "Wonderful!" "Hi, lawmen!" "This is Santa!" "If you believe in me get your gifts outside Europa Bank at noon" "Time anybody?" " 11:55, Chief." " Red Alert!" "How can you work with these idiots?" "Don't quote me, Ms. Qiu." "It's very French." "We're always complaining." "Spread out and wait." "I mean, let's go." "Last time, they sped away." "Now, we'll surprise them." "They told us to be here!" "They sent the message thinking we'd think it was a hoax unaware that Gibert doesn't fall on deaf traps." "He's here!" "Present and ready to rumble!" "Imagine the trap was to lure you here." "Think, Emilien." "It makes no sense." "A criminal who warns the police?" "That's stupid!" "That's what worries me." "They're not stupid!" "There's a first time for everything." " Unless..." " Unless what?" "They're sure to escape." "Let them try." "They won't go 10 meters." "Trust me!" " Captain!" " What's up?" "They'll have to drive over us." "What the heck is that?" "It's horrible!" " You OK, Chief?" " I'm just dandy." "Why are you still here?" " How do we stop that?" " I don't know..." "Use your imagination!" "Requisition a car!" "Why didn't he stop?" "Black and a cop?" "No chance!" "Even so, he could've slowed down." "I'm fine." "I'm used to it." " Let's requisition our cars!" " Right." "To the cars!" "The anti-theft system is totally unique based on the Atlas system used by the police." "Press here and it alerts the nearest police unit." "Very efficient." "Holy Fuck!" "My car!" "I'll get out." "Less weight." "Your 50 pounds won't make much difference." "As for you The old port of Marseille and its famous Canebiere from "canabe", the hemp they used for the ropes." "It was King Louis XIV in 1661 who..." "Watch out!" " You have to keep up!" " I am!" "The Canebiere founded in 1661..." "Not keep up with me, knucklehead!" "With the off-roader!" "D'you see, Qiu?" "We can't get the staff." "They recruit any old how." "This lad would make a good lifeguard." "But here he is leading a chase without a license." "He doesn't have a license?" " I only started yesterday." " No way!" "Calm!" "He just has to follow the car ahead." "Any lifeguard can handle that." " What now?" " Just follow, kid." "That thing guzzles so much gas he'll run out before us." " In 5 minutes he's ours!" " We won't last 5 minutes." "We will..." "Shouldn't we stop to say sorry?" "All in good time." "First, the chase!" " Seek and destroy!" " Funny one." "Should I stop?" " What for?" " The pool!" "Good thinking." "Gee, that was close." "Hey!" "Take it easy!" " Nowhere near 5 minutes!" " See that?" "Perfect seal." "No leaks." "Is it always like this?" "Most times we get cars that leak!" " I can't swim." " We have a lifeguard." "Daniel!" "Good to see you." "You look terrible." "You see too much of Lily." "Just joking..." "Have fun while you're young." "Seen my driver?" "He's late." "One block up." "He won't be long." "Perfect!" " Is Lily in?" " Of course." "Sorry." "Didn't see you there." "Don't worry." "I'm used to it." "Look who it is!" " Can we talk a minute?" " I'm going out." "To the doctor's." " Give me a ride, Dad?" " Of course." "Where's my car?" "He did seem in difficulty." "Can I give you both a ride?" "Affirmative!" "Teach him to be late!" "C'mon, all aboard!" "Boulevard Cassini, driver!" "Yes, Ma'am." "You're late, son." "Daniel offered us a ride." "See you at barracks." " Taking it easy?" " You think?" "The roads are wild and full of potholes." "Terrible." "And a little calm does you good." "Indeed but I don't want to be late." "What's wrong?" " It hurts!" " Where does it hurt?" " My belly." " That's awful!" " What do we do. general?" " How do I know?" "Are you really in pain?" " I'm better now." "It's gone." " Sure?" "Yes, it's gone..." "It's gone.." "You never used to be so emotional." "It's Christmas, the gifts, all that..." "It gets to me." "Yes, so I see." "What's that behind your ear?" "Nothing!" "A kind of thermometer." "It takes your blood pressure." "1 line, you're OK." "2 lines, you're not OK." "That's why I'm taking it easy." "Thanks for the ride Most agreeable." "See you tonight, honey." "I'll ask the doctor but I'd say you've no hope." "I hate to intrude but I'm going to be late." "Lift off!" "Enter." "Are you OK?" "Couldn't be better." "We're betrayed by our own equipment." "How can we work?" "Don't forget that." "We need funds." "I want solid chairs. higher doors because" "And life buoys in every car." "Remember?" "Glug-glug..." "You see!" "Not to mention comfortable shoes." "These ones are killing me!" "But they're brand new." "What prankster did that?" "It's not funny." "The other one's the same." "It's not funny at all." "Sometimes, it's just too much." "Relax." "Captain." "You're too tense." "It's that gang." "The Santa Claus Gang!" "Forget about them and let me take care of you." "You know how that works?" "A little." "We got them last week." "I hid my typewriter so they couldn't take it away." " Let yourself go, Captain." "In 5 minutes you'll be thinking clearly." " You think so?" " I'm sure of it." "I can't see." "Is that normal?" "Perfectly normal." "Relax." "That feels good." "It's all draining away." "That's exactly it." "You'll see." "You know, I'm scared I'll nod off." "I'll wake you." "Excellent!" " You know where you are?" " No, where?" "Police HQ!" " No way!" "Looks like a garage." " Comedian, huh?" " Morning, general." " At ease." "Thanks, Daniel." "See you tonight." "My saviour!" "Can you drop me off?" " I'll give you a ride." " Am I glad to see you!" "'Scuse me..." " Can I go?" " I suppose so." "Can you keep an eye on the space?" "I'll be back." " Easy, I'm not late." " Yes, boss." " You'll never guess." " Neither will you." "Take a guess." "It's unbelievable." " You got promotion?" " No, it's personal." " Marriage?" " I'm going to be a daddy!" " I don't believe it." " You'd better." "It's wonderful!" " Lily's pregnant too." " No way!" "That's wonderful." "We'll be Daddies together." "Would you believe that!" "Friends for so long and now having a kid together." "I mean, each having a kid at the same time." " Separately" " Yeah, separately, sure." " How many months?" " 8!" " You didn't say!" " I didn't know." "You're first to know." "Before my Mom." " And you?" "How many months?" " 2 lines." "2 lines?" "It's a thing you pee on to see how pregnant you are." "She's 2 lines pregnant." "Wow, that's cool." "Yeah, it's cool." "Captain..." "Visitors." "What's this?" "Good to see you all." "We were just..." "My colleague here from China has great relaxation technique." "5 hours' sleep in 5 minutes." "No kidding, it energizes." "The lesson is over." "See you later, Captain." "Thank you, Qiu." "What can I do for you?" "There were all these cauliflowers." "I didn't even notice." " How dumb can you be?" " That dumb." "But why cauliflowers?" "How do I know?" "It should have given me a hint." "Nada!" " I am such a klutz." " That's going too far." " If you were, she'd bail." " You think?" "Petra's anything but a masochist." "That's good to hear." " Yeah but we're still in shit." " What do you mean?" "You're always chasing thieves and I'm a car freak." "We drive them crazy." "And a kid takes up a lot of space." "We have to change our ways." "Right!" "See him walk take him to school" "That's not just yet." " It's fingers in sockets first." " Outlet plugs!" "Sure Jeez, you don't think how much work it is." "Shit!" "Good stuff." "Rachid give it to you?" " You know Rachid?" " A little." "Hey, the sun's coming up." "Say, Daniel..." "Santa on a scooter Is that normal?" "Usually he's on a sleigh." "Discreet but edgy that's not normal." "You just said we had to work less to look after our women and future progeny No chase, OK?" " Follow him." " At your service!" "Got anything on scooter 75 BN 13?" "I'll hold." " Stolen 2 weeks ago." " Perseverance always pays." "Petra'll be pleased." "We locate their hideout and I pass it on." "Where would I be without you?" "Even deeper in it." "We'll lose him." "Our only lead and I lose him!" "Every problem has a solution." "What the hell?" "What are you doing?" " Got a better way to tail a scooter?" " No." "Maybe it's a bit conspicuous." " Act cool, we'll be fine." " Cool." "OK" "You saw where he went." "Now call your Chief." "I messed up once." "Not again." "I have to check my sources." "Santa on a stolen scooter in a warehouse?" " What more d'you want?" " I can't screw up." "It'll take 5 minutes." "Proof?" "Or d'you want to see their guns work?" "No, that's fine." "Best find out how many there are." "Come with me." "Don't you know when to stop?" "You said you'd call in." "He'll want to know how many." "And is this their HQ or a drop?" "It'll take 5 minutes." "I don't see this working." "I saw it in a movie." "It's mind over matter." "I know." "That's why I'm worried." "If I'm hurt, call Gibert." "Your lace..." "Hello!" "I saw the doc." "Want to hear?" " If he's good, sure." " He's excellent." "Recommended by Marie-Sophie who had 4 kids in 4 years." " That'll be hard to beat." " Living apart, yeah." "Lily, I'm trying but you have to be there to see it." "Can you speak up?" "The Santas have got Emilien." "Looks like they're about to" "Lily." "Lily" "Aw, shit!" "What are you doing here?" "Guess." "I've been trained to resist torture." " I'll never talk." " We don't need you to." "We know everything." "Anyhow, torture's outdated." "We have more effective ways of getting a man to talk." "Really?" "The gentle touch, for example." "That's the most fearsome of weapons." "What's a hunk like you doing in the police?" "My job." "Hey, that's off limits." "You do seem open to a little persuasion." "That's my cell phone." "Let's take a look." "A superb model." "It's off." "Can I turn it on?" "You have no right!" "I'm out of units!" "It's human rights abuse!" "This is inhumane." "The end justifies the means!" "I mean to justify your end." " Can't take your call." "I'm busy." " Give your ID, we'll be in touch." "You must be on a mission." "I'm very proud of you and your devotion to your work." "You put everything into it." "Think of yourself a little." "Relax and enjoy life's pleasures." "And maybe make some time for me too." "Call me when it's over." "Big kisses!" "You again?" "Have you seen Emilien?" " He's been kidnapped!" " What on earth for?" "By a group of armed Santa Clauses." " It's the Santa Claus Gang!" " You don't say." " He went in alone?" " Not quite." "I have an infallible plan to get them." "He will be avenged." "To the cars!" "Can you stick close by?" "I've a sinking feeling about this." "Find the Santas and we find Emilien." "But in what state?" "That's cheery." "Captain!" "What good timing!" "We're going to catch the Santas in the act!" "In the sack with them!" " Can I come?" " It's way too dangerous." "It won't be a Christmas Carol." "Captain..." "Please!" "OK, it's not far." "Follow us, huh?" "Into position." "So, this is Christmas." "I'll turn on their lights no messing." " How did you find them?" " My private grapevine." "My brother is in sanitation." "He flunked his police exams." "He cribbed off me but inverted the questions so he got zero." "That happened to all my pals too." "Nobody asked you." "Anyway, he called me about work in the sewers." "Discreetly." "I probe and find..." "A tunnel!" "Between bank and store." "So they can spend the cash right away." "They rob the bank on Sunday and walk out via the store." "I get it." "As Santas nobody notices." "The Santa disguise was to help them rob the richest bank in Marseille." "Of course!" "You're a genius!" "No, talent and brain power are nothing without training." " Can I make a call?" " Go ahead." "That's funny." "Emilien has the same." "Hello!" "It melts in the ear." "Activate plan B." " I got it!" " OK." "What a beautiful tongue..." "Chinese!" " Chief!" "Movement inside." " Ready!" "See the 4-wheel monster and destroy!" "I hear you." "Christmas is over!" "Gibert means business." "What the heck?" "Where's the big monster?" "Well then?" "Catch them!" "Alive even!" "Requisitioned!" "Alain, follow me!" "We have a wonderful view over the port." " It's quiet in winter?" " Very." "Stop!" " Chief, wait for me!" " In the name of the Law!" "Like I said, Minister we need more funding." "Yes, 1 bike for 2 officers is not good." "Not good at all." "Tell the chopper we're on schedule." "I'll miss you, sweet little Emilien." " But you won't suffer." " Great." "You'll have the privilege of knowing when you'll die thanks to modern technology." "That's my Swiss side." "When the mechanism triggers the ball will swing down on its cable with you in the front row." "How long before it triggers?" " You have exactly 5 minutes." " Shit!" "Make the most of it to purify your soul." "You must cleanse your mind and review your life before meeting the Eternal." "5 minutes to cleanse my mind?" "You have to prioritize." "I took your cell phone as a souvenir." "I'm very sentimental." "That's my Chinese side." "Cleanse my mind?" "Sure." "What we need is a miracle." "Even a tiny one." "Not the ball!" "Not the taxi!" "You've no idea what happened." "It's terrible." "We must find her." "She has my cell." "Not to mention all the loot!" "But the cell was a gift from Petra." "If China girl answers it, I'm for it." "Did I just save your life?" "Sure." "I'd have done the same for you." "So I'd die run over by a cop car." "Hey, my driving's getting better." "Not your manners." "Say thank you." "If we let the gang get away my life's worthless." "Gibert will throttle me." "We'll find your gang!" "Now, say thank you." "How'll we find them?" "We've no leads, no clues!" " Is that good enough?" " What?" "Sorry, pal." "I'm sorry." "My nerves are giving out." "I can't take it, China girl..." "She tortured me for hours." "I can't forget." " She tortured you?" " It was horrible." " How?" " Things I'd never tried." "You can't guess..." "I can't talk about it." "It still hurts..." "I understand." "Don't worry." "We'll find her!" "Come on!" "Did she mention anything?" "Just a chopper that's waiting somewhere." " And she had fur boots on." " Fur boots?" " Notice anything?" " No!" " It's cold." " Yeah!" "Melted snow?" "If it's still here, it came from high up and nearby." "With those boots they're headed back there." "Probably." "But why the mountains?" "On the other side?" "Switzerland!" "Of course!" "She's half-Swiss." "It's home field." "They drive up and ski across blending in with the tourists..." "All the way to their chopper." "That's wonderful!" "Let's find the resort closest to the border big enough for a chopper." "Tignes-Val d'Isere!" " See anything?" " Not really." "Patrol 1:" "Nothing to report." " So where to for the vacation?" " We'll head for the slopes." "Now, let's hope we were right and we spot their car." "You look right." "I'll look left." "You don't know left from right?" "Right for you?" "Sorry, my fault." " I took it as facing you." " You're next to me." "But I thought you meant facing you." " What?" " The car!" " Told you." " Try a shortcut." " First right." " You know Tignes?" "They're all alike." "Trust my instinct." "I prefer to trust mine." "I'll take a right." "Watch out!" "That was close!" " Where are we?" " Look for a sign." "What's with all these cars?" "They must be from the ski school." "What's that sign say?" "1' 10" off the lead." "Is that good?" "We'll improve next lap." "Shit!" "That's screwed it." "Look at the tracks." "A snowmobile!" "We'll never catch them." "The chase is over." "It's never over." "This isn't about speed it's about snow." "Nothing's impossible." "You like my winter collection?" "Yeah, not bad." " You tried it out?" " Not yet." " I'd say it works." " I'd say so." " But where'd they go?" " Let's follow the tracks." "Yeah, I see." "Well spotted." "Can the taxi do a chopper too?" "Maybe that's asking too much." "I'd better warn the general then." "Very good idea." "Lend me your cell phone?" "She has mine." "Transfer the cash." "We must be gone before sunset." "Get to work!" " You think they're inside?" " Hard to say." "Hello!" "Operation Snow White is underway." "We'll be there in 10 minutes." "I have your Chief here." "He insisted on coming along." "You sure this is a good idea?" "I served with an Alpine regiment." "13th Battalion." "Special Section." "I know the mountains." "But this is high up." " You ever seen snow?" " I'm from Grenoble." "I didn't say a word." "Let's go!" "Everybody out!" "I'll go take a look." " I wouldn't." " I'll be 5 minutes." "He just won't be told." "OK, let's stay together." "See?" "No need to muck up my seats!" " It's only water." " It's snow!" "Snow leaves marks!" " I'll clean your damn car!" " What with?" " I said I'll clean it." " You Mr. Clean?" "Give me a break!" "C'mon, clear out!" " You ski?" " No, I drive!" "Follow me!" "This is a forest!" " Scare you?" " The car scares me." "What are you doing?" "Putting the tires back on." "We've spotted the chopper." "Get ready!" "Are you sure...?" "I checked all my gear." "I'll be fine." "Let's go, guys!" "What happened?" "Wait for me!" "The strap must be too short." "Obviously it is." " You're cutting it?" " Too right." "There we are!" "Wait!" "The next racer to set off is Austria's Hans Gherart one of the big favourites." " Are we lost?" " If we follow the flags we'll be OK." "First at Kitzbuhel, now here at Val d'Isere he's crushed the competition." "He's smashed the intermediate times." "He seems certain to be world champion." "Victory is his for the taking..." "Then again a taxi wins by a short head." "It's too quiet." "Souvenir?" "Not where you're going?" "Just cleanse your mind." "Take her away!" "You're not too bitter about being tortured for hours." " Forgive and forget." " Sure." "And Gibert?" "He was supposed to be here." "An incoming Gibert!" "Chief!" "Watch where you land!" "No worries, Emilien." "It's only snow." "That has to be cold!" "Hey!" "My waters have broken!" "You're giving birth?" "Now?" " Not yet but hurry up!" " I'll be right there!" "Chief, Petra's in labour!" "A job for me, I guess." "Sweetheart!" "I'm here!" "Everything'll be fine!" "Don't faint!" "It's not a good time." "I'll be fine." "Everything'll be fine" "Not now!" "Be strong." "Watch the screen for contractions." "Contractions?" "On screen?" "Which one?" "That one!" "Yeah, that one!" " Where?" " Not you!" "Her!" "Push with the contractions!" "Push now, sweetheart!" "Breathe..." " Not you." "She has to breathe." " Not me" " Push!" " Push!" "Push!" " I see its head!" " Its head?" " Once more!" " Again, darling!" " Push!" " Push!" "Push!" "Good!" "Now relax." "It's a beautiful boy." "I'm a daddy!" "You want to cut the cord?" "That had better wait, do you mind?" " What you doing?" " Practicing." " Why?" "You pregnant?" " No, the woman I love is." "I want to be ready when it's my turn." "Someone's stupid enough to have your baby?" "I'm very lucky." " And I made promises." " Such as?" "To spend more time with her to be a great Dad" " The fridge?" " Empty!" "And to be a great husband if she'll marry me." " She believed you?" " No way." "It was perhaps the first big mistake of her life because I was truly sincere." "Sincerity's not the problem." "Finding the time is." "The time to work at it." "Will you marry me?" "Now that you got me pregnant?" "Lily!" "I'm from an old-fashioned family you know." "Do me the honour of being my wife." " Depends." " On what?" "How you make love." "You have 1 hour to convince me." " You'll crack." " We'll see." "INTENSIVE CARE" "Emilien Emi.." "li..en.."
