"SPHINX" "Good evening." " Who's in back?" " New guy." " Met him yet?" " Yeah, seems nice." " From where?" " Côte d'Azur." "Disciplinary transfer." " What'd he do?" " No idea." "Hey, there." "This is Julie." " Simon." " Nice to meet you." "Done nights yet?" "No, it's my first." "Let's roll!" "Thank you, sir." "Now go home." "We'll come back to see if they've gone." "Oh, yeah..." "I have a little girl." "That's her." "Adorable, how old?" "Three, talks up a storm." "A knockout." "Got kids?" "Never got around to it." "You?" "Soon as a guy finds out I'm a cop, he splits." "Gimme a break!" "For us it's the opposite, girls love the uniform." "I hadn't noticed." "Stop, don't bullshit me." "You've never... you know?" "Hold on." "Car 14 on the way." "Evening, sir." " About time!" " What's the trouble?" "What does it look like?" "20 years down the drain!" "Calm down, sir." "It's no use yelling." "This is the third time!" "Aren't you insured?" "It's a quiet area." "Wealthy, low crime." "Even burglaries are rare." "Been a cop long?" "9 years, how about you?" "Seven." "Want one?" "What are you doing?" "It won't kill him." "Plus, he's unfriendly." "Don't start, I'm warning you." "Julie?" "Noise complaint." "Evening." " Where?" " 3rd floor." "He's not the type." "He won't even open the door." "Careful, he's not just anyone." "Excuse me." "Police!" "Open up!" "Drop your weapon!" "Drop it goddamn it!" "Do it now!" "What's that?" "You OK?" "Yes." " More coffee?" " No, thanks." "You can count on me." "You're always welcome." "Take some time off." "I'd rather keep working." "Come in, miss." "An officer down and a civilian wounded." "Keep it quiet for now." "Will you be alright?" "Holding up?" "It's not easy." "I know." "It's a dirty job." "But we're here for you." "I'm taking you both off the street." "There's free counseling." "It's recommended, if you want your gun back." "Why?" "Think I'll go on a shooting spree?" "No, blow your brains out." "Look, forget it." "You'll like your new job." "Desk work is the fast track to success in the Department." "Yeah?" "Thank you." "Perfect." "Now just sign your statement." "Statement?" "I was never questioned." "The kid you shot's father is a congressman." "That means his gun fired accidentally." "Accidentally?" "Was the dope we found an accident?" "There was no dope." "That stuff killed Bastien!" "He was so wasted!" "Hurry, it's late." "Your partner's already signed." "Let's go." "Thank you." "Want to spend the night?" "The kids love seeing you." "No thanks, Gilbert." "I'd rather be alone." "How's he taking it?" "He won't talk about it." "Be right back." " You OK?" " I guess." "How's the kid?" "He's in a coma." "It could go either way." "It would be bad if he died." "What do I tell his family?" "I can't lie to them." "The brass will do it." "I'd rather it be me." "I know them well." "Want me to come?" "No thanks, I'll be fine." "Your choice." "Seen her much since the shooting?" "No more than usual." "Ever use your gun before?" "Yes." "I'd never fired it." "Your report states Officer Lafarge was killed accidentally." "Yes." "And your partner returned fire." "Exactly." "Right, we have a problem." "Why?" "The kid woke up claiming police brutality." "Says you shot first." "Brutality!" "He opened the door and fired." "He was high as a kite." "The detectives found no drugs on the scene." "You know who his father is!" "So?" "I was asked to stay quiet, but I saw the dope damn it!" "This case is a strain on all of us, but you stand to lose your job." "If you want to keep your badge, stick to your report and forget about the drugs." "What if it costs me?" "It very well could." "I think they'll shut you up." "And go with the brat's story." "I agree." "I won't take a brutality charge sitting down." "Police work's my life." "We need a lawyer." "It won't help." "You can't fight City Hall." "Your word's not good enough." "What, then?" "If the kid was high, prove it." "Track those pills to his dealer." "Do what's necessary." "I won't let them fire you." "So you have our backs?" "Bring me proof, I'll do the rest." "What do you think?" "It's worth a try." "Anyway, we have no choice." "It's not my problem!" "Another 2 hours overtime!" "I've had it, I'm going home." "What are you doing?" "Narcotics case." "I got lost." "I'm terrible with computers." "Hurry, work's piling up." "Don't worry." "Night." "Night." "Bye Michel." "Leaving so early, Sandrine?" "Miss?" "Make a list of these credit card numbers." "Hurry up, it's urgent." "The counterfeiters must have heard about the bust." "Got a second?" "Do I know you?" " What do you want?" " Something special." "Such as?" "The glow in the dark pills." "You're looking for Sphinx." "No, I don't have any." "Heard about it though, strong stuff." "But I can offer you..." " Jokers, BM, Crystal..." " Forget it!" "Seen Stephanie?" "Is this where you heard about it?" "Get lost, buddy." "You partying?" "Sphinx, heard of it?" "Yes." "Come with me." "Move!" "Here." "Listed and ready for the locker." "Good work, miss." "What did you take?" "Tell me!" "I'm talking to you!" "Don't resist!" "You OK?" "Yes." "Pick these up, put them in the locker." "I'll go see the nurse." "Come inside." "Sit down." "What do you want?" "Sphinx." "No problem." "You'll see, it'll blow your mind." "That's not it." "The incandescent pills." "I guarantee this will give you the high of your life." "Sorry, not interested." "How many?" "I said no deal." "Get out!" "Gimme back the joint." "Rich kid with no record, like the first." "He had two on him." "He was driving against traffic on the belt." "Could be." "He had the same wild eyes as the first." "He got rough with some guests at the Shakma." "It's a new club." "Check it out." "Evening, Captain." "See you later then?" "Come by my desk." "Looking for someone?" "A friend to help me out." "With what?" "Does Sphinx ring a bell?" "Who told you?" "A co-worker." "It's rare, it's pricey." "I'll pay." "I don't have any." "How about ecstasy?" "No, I want Sphinx." "Can you get some?" "You really are hooked." "What's your name?" "Simon." "Want my number?" "No." "I can get some." "Oh, there you are." "Got a second?" "I'll meet you at the bar." "I'm not gonna make a run for a few pills." "How many you want?" "Depends on how much." "You didn't say how many." "Fifty to start." "Fifty?" "More, if it's good." "I've got friends." "Is he our man?" "His customers fit the profile." "It's a good lead." "When's the meeting?" "This afternoon." "He only sells by the hundred." "That's 1,000 euros." "If I want him to trust me, I have to pay." "But I'm broke." "I'll see what I can do." " See you later?" " Good luck." "Hello." "Still here?" "We were discussing our case." "You two together?" "What?" "Are you an item?" "No, why?" "Because I read his file." "He's violent, watch out." "Bye." "You bet I'll have the money." "See you then." "A year's savings." "I'm coming too." "No, he's paranoid." "He won't like it." " Be careful." " Don't worry." " Where do we meet?" " I'll send you my address." "It's on the house." "Not now." "Go on, you're making me suspicious." "What's your line of work?" "I'm an exec at a big firm." "Do you use for work or fun?" "Both." "Gotta handle the pressure." "Lots of us take speed." "The guy with the best product wins." "You'll leave the others in the dust." "It's not cheap." "But it's worth it." "It works fast." "It kicks ass." "I know." "A friend went ballistic on this stuff." "Really?" "Know him?" "A politician's son." "What do you care?" "Nothing." "Forget it." "Come on." "Someplace quiet." "I want you to meet someone." "I'll leave you here." "Keep walking, you'll see Patrick." "Hey." " Got the money?" " Yeah." " Where they from?" " You cool?" " Yeah, but..." " Get lost!" " Can I call you?" " No." "What if I run out?" "Who supplies you?" "Where do the Sphinx come from?" "Why all the questions?" "You a cop?" "I smell you, pig!" "Wanna play hardball, huh?" "You're a cop!" "You reek!" "Does it sting?" "I barely feel a thing." "Stop squirming then." "I should have come with you." "Get off me!" "Want a sleeping pill?" "I'm turning myself in." "Calm down." "We'll see." "Easy for you to say!" "How can I be calm?" " I'm all mixed-up!" " There are two of us!" "If you turn yourself in you'll go to jail!" "Got a better idea?" "We continue." "What?" "I'm a killer and a cop." "Why continue?" "So I won't be alone." "We find the supplier, then see what Gilbert can do." "I don't know." "It's me." "There may be a way." "So you're with me?" "Go on, I'm listening." "I'll explain tonight after your shift." "Maxime?" "Going home alone?" "Come with me." "I've got something you'll love." "You'd better drive though." "Gilbert?" "It's Julie." "Can you find the vehicle with plates:" "817 MWH 75." "It's nothing." "Don't worry." "Open up!" "What's that?" "What is it?" "What are you trying to pull?" "You weren't expecting me, huh?" "Get lost." "Go!" "Why all this cash?" "Stocking up for the winter?" "And this?" "I didn't know he would rip you off." "Oh, yeah?" " Where's the Sphinx from?" " What?" " Who's the supplier?" " I don't know!" "Look, either you go to jail tonight for at least 10 years, or you talk and you're a free man." "Come on!" "I don't know." "OK, stop!" "The supplier's named Marc." "They met in prison." "That's all I know!" "That's better." "Vanish, OK?" " Talk and you're dead!" " I won't talk." "Keep walking." "All clear." "We need a place to stash it." "I know a scheme from back home." "What is it?" "Get the keys to a sealed-off apartment." "We need a car, too." "You do it, I'm about to lose my license." "I see." "Come on!" "Out for pizza." "Right." "Enjoy." "Excuse me?" "Anyone here?" "You, here?" "I was gathering information for our case." "I'll look the other way." "But keep your head." "Don't worry." "Excuse me?" "I'm looking for Mr. Brunel for an identification." "3rd floor." "Thanks." "What are you doing here?" "Get to work!" "When do I get out?" "Don't make me come over there!" " I got you a taco." " No, thanks." " Not even a bite?" " No." "I'm looking for Agent Brunel." "Last door on your right." "Yes, a wiretap." "They're raising a big sum for next week." "Why the apartment schemes?" "For girls?" "No, to play cards." "Right!" "I'm serious." "That why you were transferred?" "I hit a superior." "He deserved it." "So, like it?" "It's huge." "Always want to be a cop?" "Runs in the family." "Grandad was a cop, dad was a cop, I'm an only child..." " So you're a cop." " Yes." "You?" "It was against my family's wishes." "They're still angry, but I have no regrets." "I'm happy." "Even after all this?" "Yeah." "Are we sleeping together?" "Not tonight." "Goodnight, then." "Marc Bastide." "Good family, never married." "No drug offenses, but one robbery conviction." "Two years ago he opened a night club," ""The Link" and several restaurants." "He's always worked with..." "Someone named Rudy." "He's another story." "He's done time for pimping and attempted rape." "Well we know what we're up against." " How much we got?" " 37,000." "And 4 bullets." "I'm bringing the speed." "That'll get his attention." "You mean, actually deal?" "You reel them in, I deal." "Okay, if you want." "You wearing that?" "Don't like it?" "I do..." "Very much." "But why not go all the way?" "You're right." "I'll find something back here." "You went all out." "I had to." "Get in." "We're going to another party." "Wanna come?" "I came with someone." "But if you need a boost, I can arrange it." "I see." "What do you suggest?" " Speed." " I've got coke." "Wait..." "Luc!" "Speed?" "We've got a problem." "Get Manu." "What's your name?" "That's him." "Enjoy." "Thanks." "I don't know you, so let me be crystal clear." "No dealing in my establishments." "Missy." "No dealing, get it?" "Next time I call the police." "Get him out of here!" "Get lost!" "You alright?" "Tell Rudy to follow them." "Tonight I go back, I buy him a drink..." "We need a new approach." "Something bolder." "We tell him we want a partnership." "Meet you after work?" "What time you get off?" "5 o'clock, you?" "Me, too." "Unless Sandrine's late." "We're being followed." "If your boss wants to talk, he can pick up a phone." "Aren't you in deep enough already?" "Sorry?" "You don't look good lately." "It looks suspicious." "What's up with the brutality case?" "The kid won't drop charges." "His lawyers have even asked for a suspension." "Harsh." "What will you decide?" "I have to check with my superiors." "But I'm not optimistic." "What will you tell them?" "I'll buy time, promise to intervene." "It will blow over." "You just said it wouldn't." "You know the saying," ""Better injustice than disorder."" "The wiretap working?" "The counterfeiters are waiting for passports." "This time we've got them cornered." "I hope they get the slammer!" "What about you?" "I don't know." "Excuse me." "Speaking." "Sure, let's talk." "Where?" "Okay, at our place." "See you tonight." "I noticed your perfume, very chic." "Thanks." "From a sweetheart?" "Mind your own business." "Watch out for her." "Right." "They're early." "You said you'd put them away." "So, I missed one." "I hope it's the only one." "Stay cool, OK?" "Sorry." "Go ahead." "Evening." "All alone?" "Julie's over there." "Good evening." "Evening." "I'll look around." "Go right ahead." "Nice place." "Lots of books." "They're just for show." "What did you want to discuss?" "Let's wait for Rudy." "Look what I found." "See they look like the literary type." "Who said it was our place?" "Don't worry, it's secure." "It belongs to a client on the Coast." "You guys come from the Coast?" "Yeah." "We came to cut out the middleman." "A little coke?" "Why not?" "If it's good." "That's for you to judge." "Honey?" "Have a seat." "Good." "It's top quality." "Our clients want nothing less." "Actually," "I have a proposition to make." "Depends on what." "Amphetamines." "I need new dealers." "I thought you hated dealers!" "We don't sell second-rate speed." "You won't be disappointed." "You can come up now." "Impressive." "Can I count you in for 6,000?" "That's 1,000 pills." "I don't sell less." "Okay." "You keep all your cash here?" "Just pocket money." "Your wife is very beautiful." "Can we stick to business?" "Where do you get the speed?" "Holland, Poland?" "It's not where they come from, it's how many we sell." "Perfect." "You know where to find me." "It's Julie." "Yes, sold out in one week." "Can we meet?" "Sure, tonight if you want." "That works." "See you then." "We made the bust." "Given the stash, it'll be a long weekend." "Count it and lock it up." "Julie, come with me." "Captain just called, he wants to see you." "Right away." "What does he want?" "He didn't say." "Put them in lock-up." "Get up!" "They're all behind bars." "We think it was worth the wait." "You're welcome." "Goodbye." "I have some bad news." "I stalled as long as I could." "The family got you suspended." "Starting when?" "In two days, effective Monday." " That sucks!" " I agree, but wait..." "The investigation isn't over." "You'll be cleared." " I guarantee it." " Yeah, right." "Hey, take it easy!" "Please!" " Bastards!" " What'd you expect?" "Tonight's the night." "Thank you." "Where's your man?" "He'll be here." "Usually it's women you wait for." "Been together long?" "A little over a year." "Where'd you meet?" "In a club in Nice." "What about you?" "Got someone?" "No." "Congratulations, you beat out my other dealers." "Speak of the devil!" " Got the dope?" " No." "This is a social visit." "I'm taking you to meet my associates." "We'll take my car." "I'll drive you home." "You won't be needing this." "We're just having dinner." "I'll give it back later." "There you are." "We're starving." "Christian." "Joseph and his wife Nadine." "How do you do?" "On the Coast, where do you sell?" "Clubs?" "Occasionally." "Private beach parties, mostly." "Repeat customers who buy in bulk." "What's the drug of choice?" "Coke and ecstasy, mainly." "But speed's gaining ground." "Good." "Go with her." "I'll join you." "So?" "Happy with the product?" "Yes." "It sells." "Not by our standards." "You need to sell more." "Just say the word." "The next deal is for 60,000 then." "60,000?" "OK." "We'll see if you can distribute that much." "We know plenty of dealers in the South." "I see we think alike." "Try it." "It's marvelous." "Known them long?" "I don't get involved in business." "Wait." "Here." "No, thanks." "Go on, lighten up!" "I said no." "Where you going?" "How's the competition?" "The Russians took a bite out of our profits." "Ever been caught?" "No, knock on wood." "They're pros." "It's me." "How's it coming?" "We've finished dinner." "See you in a bit." "Let's go." "Where are we going?" "I'll tell you a secret." "Want to know where we get the Sphinx?" "Yeah." "It's simple." "We produce it ourselves." "What counts is the chemist..." "Setting up the lab is easy." "Think big, I say, or go back to robbing banks." "Why tell me all that?" "Where are we going?" "We have a detail to take care of." "Follow me." "Let's go!" "Don't be afraid." "What do you want?" "One of our dealers tried to cheat us." "This wise guy claims the money he owed us was stolen." "I can't just let it slide." "What's that got to do with us?" "Stan?" "I really like you two, but the others have doubts." "They think you're narcs." "It's that simple." "Take him down." "No!" "Watch your step." "And now?" "Now..." "Are we clear?" "I'll take you home." "You had no choice." "If I'd known it was him, I'd have done the same." "I know." "Now what?" "We tell Gilbert and set up a sting." "Where do we get the 60,000?" "Take it easy." "I'm sorry." "You work tomorrow?" "No, you?" "It's my last day." "Well, I'm off." "Sorry." "See you later." "Here she comes!" "No kiss?" "Hi!" "You're tired." "Counterfeiters still here?" "Yes, still no confession." "Coffee?" "No, thanks." "Later!" "Maybe Roland can sign right away." "It would speed things up." "Think I'm gonna sit here all weekend?" "Jeez!" "Rough, huh?" "Damn right!" "Be right there." "Five Irish, five German." "I'm going to miss you." "Me, too." "Let's get together sometime." "Why not?" "10 Americans." "Going OK, Roland?" "No." "Sandrine?" "Would you get us some sandwiches?" "Everything's closed on Sundays!" "Coming, Captain?" "You don't see any smoke, do you?" "I've got work to do!" "I'll call you right back!" "Need first aid?" "More like intensive care!" "What the hell!" "Another idiot playing with tear gas!" "The Captain wants to see you." "What's it about?" "No idea." "Be right there, Captain." "Here." " What is it?" " It's all there." "She just passed by." "Be right back." "There's plenty for the deal." "Or to skip town." "Otherwise they'll find us." "Where'd we go?" "It's him." "When do we call the cops?" "Get the location first." "How come?" "No, it's up to you." "See you then." "Damn!" "He wants us at the club without the cash." "So they won't have the dope." "What do we do?" "We go and see." "Good evening." "Evening." "Want a drink?" "Vodka alright?" "Sure." " Get the money?" " Yes." "The product's ready." "So we're set." "Marc's on his way." "Okay." "Marc!" "They're the ones who robbed Maxime!" " You sure?" " Positive." "Change of plans." "You and Joseph get the money, while Julie and I pick up the dope." "No, we stay together." "Do it or the deal's off!" "No, we're with you." "Let's have a drink first." "Gotcha." "They're at the villa." "Relax for God's sake!" "You're too valuable a dealer to lose." "Right." "Pour yourselves a drink." "I'll get the money." "Tell me where she is!" "You two have guts." "Are you serious about him?" "Why?" "Dump him and work with me." "Think fast, it's a one-time offer." "No." "That's too bad." "Really." "Where are the goods?" "We wait until Joseph calls and says he has the money." "Can I at least see it?" "No." "Leave us, Nadine." "Now, tell us everything, and fast!" "What?" "Enough!" "We know you ripped off Maxime!" "We know!" "Who?" "What about Patrick at the garage, bitch?" "Never heard of him." " Really?" " No, never." "You're a good liar." "Isn't she?" "What's the difference anyway?" "Call Joseph, we'll deal with her later." "What if I said I was a cop?" "Shit, I knew it!" "Cunt!" "There's no answer." "There's no answer!" "We move the stash and the money." "Fast!" "Fucking unbelievable!" "Take care of her." "Get the money, I'll handle the lab." "Leave through the garage." "Freeze!" "Turn around!" "Turn around!" "Where are the others?" "In the lab." "Drop it!" "If you fire, everything blows." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop!" "Drop your weapon!" "Drop it!" "Simon?" "Simon!" "Why didn't you take those two in?" "Because they're our own." "Now try firing them."
