[cars passing in background]
[intriguing music playing]
Okay.
Then this hook, and this.
Done.
- Looks good. Nice and tight.
- Franck.
The new guy, Stanislas.
- He'll be replacing Dom this week.
- Hey, man.
- Welcome on board.
- Thanks.
- I'm Remi.
- Hi.
Hey, come with me, I'll
show you the anchor points.
- [Stanislas] Okay.
- [Franck] Right one.
Okay, let's do this one.
That's it.
- [carabiner locks]
- There you go. Okay.
[Remi] Crack here. Got it.
- Let me know if you need to move.
- Okay.
One more crack here
and then we're done.
We're done.
[sweeping music playing]
Mr. Lazarev? We're ready.
You can come with me.
- [grunts]
- [indistinct chatter]
So
Here we go.
[ultrasound whirring]
- Are you annoyed? [laughs]
- Well, kind of, yeah.
- [Franck] Morning. Bye.
- [neighbor] Morning.
- Hey, give me the bag.
- No.
I'm not sick, I'm just pregnant.
You might not be sick, but
I noticed some mood swings.
- You noticed?
- Yep!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll see.
- I'm serious.
[ominous music playing]
[menacing music playing]
[woman] What the hell?
I can't believe it.
[sighs]
This is the second time in two weeks,
and we're the only ones burgled.
The last time they
stole your computer.
What are they after?
- I have no idea.
- You have no idea?
What do we do now?
Go back to the police I guess.
[angrily] That's it, yeah.
Go back to the police.
[darkly intriguing
music playing]
[Franck] Hey.
[man] Ah. Good to see you.
- Coffee?
- Yeah. Thanks.
They got the key?
I had no time to check,
but I don't think so.
Did they take anything?
I didn't notice,
but I can't be sure.
So Lo still doesn't know?
Telling her two weeks before
giving birth is not a good idea.
[scoffs]
I didn't think
they'd go this far.
I think they're just
getting started.
[darkly suspenseful
music playing]
Remi, there's a few over
here. Hand me the camera.
I'll take some pictures,
then you can look at them.
- [man on radio] Franck, we're almost done.
- [Franck] Time to go home.
[radio chirps]
[Franck] Okay,
copy that, Pascal.
Keep me posted when you're done and
I'll send up Remi. Let's head up.
[metal snaps]
Ahh!
[groans]
[shouts] You okay, Franck?
I'm good! I'm okay.
Hey! What the hell's goin'
on up there? We lost Franck!
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music continues]
[music fades]
[on phone] You've reached Lo's voicemail.
Leave me a message and I'll call you back.
[Franck] sh*t!
[phone line ringing]
[man] Franck!
Franck!
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Lo?
- Lo?
- [Lo] Yeah?
You okay?
- I'm sorry, I missed your call.
- It's okay.
I just wanted to see
if you needed anything.
- [Lo] You okay?
- Fine.
[Lo] You want some coffee?
No, thanks. I'm good.
I'm beat. I need some sleep.
[sighs heavily]
[grunts]
[tense music playing]
- [loud chatter]
- [tense music continues]
[no audible dialogue]
[intriguing music playing]
and I see this babe. [chuckles]
I couldn't believe it.
[man laughing] I know what you mean.
These days, you don't know who's who.
[Stanislas] You know, I thought
only guys did that kinda stuff.
[laughs]
[muffled b*ll*ts firing]
[darkly intriguing
music playing]
[man on TV] Here I am in the middle
of the ocean, alone on my boat.
[expectant music playing]
[somber music playing]
What are you doing?
- [Franck sighs]
- What are you playing at?
Do you think I need this
kind of bullshit now?
You don't sleep with me. You
spend your nights on the roof.
I've spent my entire pregnancy
dealing with your sh*t.
I'll always have your back,
but don't take me for an idiot.
I don't say anything,
but I'm not blind.
- So what's goin' on?
- [door bangs]
[banging continues]
[Franck yelling]
[thug groans]
[thug groans]
[groans]
- [Franck grunts]
- [Lo yelling]
[glass shatters]
[Franck and Lo grunting]
[Lo groans]
[Lo] Ahh!
[groaning]
- [door banging]
- Lo!
[Lo grunts]
[choking]
Don't touch her!
- Ahh!
- [Lo gasping]
[thug] We're just wasting our
time. He should just tell us.
- We'll find it sooner or later anyway.
- [objects clattering]
- [thug] It's not here!
- [enforcer] Okay, guys, that's enough.
Give us what we're looking for or
we take this to the next level.
And I can assure you,
Franck, you won't enjoy it.
Why don't you just keep looking?
And take off your stupid mask.
[enforcer chuckles]
[enforcer] I don't
understand you.
Don't you want that child?
Don't you want that
nice, quiet life?
Why are you holding out?
[laughing menacingly]
What? You want to
play the hero, huh?
Expose the truth?
But let's be honest, Franck,
exposing the truth will do absolutely
nothing to erase your guilt,
your mistake.
[grunts]
[enforcer] This is such a shame.
Such a tragedy.
That this man who would
sacrifice so much for his career
would end up k*lling
his pregnant wife,
a b*llet in the head,
before taking his own life.
And for what?
Huh?
Some will say he was
a sensitive soul,
that he couldn't handle
the pressure, all the lies
[grunts angrily]
The death of his father, the
trans-generational trauma, the
[laughing]
You see, Franck, sometimes
you have to let things go.
You're stubborn, and you're
pigheaded, and you'll die stubborn.
No? Okay, time to go
to the next level.
Bring me the briefcase.
[dark music playing]
NO SIGNAL
[thug] Here.
Take care of the girl.
- [Lo] No! No!
- Don't touch her!
- No!
- [yells] Don't touch her!
- [Lo] Ahh!
- Don't touch her! Hey!
- [needle hisses]
- Don't touch her! What did you do to her?
[yelling] What
have you done? No!
No!
[Franck grunting forcefully]
[yelling] No!
- [groans]
- [dark music subsides]
[man] Former officers, officers,
non-commissioned officers, new
graduates, and families, welcome.

Please call me anytime, okay?
Really, it's a tradition here.

- We appreciate it, thank you.
- Congratulations, Franck.
- Thanks.
I'm happy you're
gonna be with us.
Pleasure's all mine.
I've been told you're as good
a climber as your father was.
We need a few rock
jocks in our unit.
- That's what they told me.
- [both laugh]
Actually
I have something
from your father.
I'm pretty sure he would've
wanted you to have this.
[wistful music playing]
- Did my father write this?
- Yes.
Thank you.
["Au Paradis" by
Silmarils playing]

Holy sh*t.
[g*n firing]
- [man] Keep your guard up.
- Yeah.
[man] Okay, let's go.
[g*n fires]
- [officer] Good shot for a rookie.
- That's my man, Nico!
- [Franck] Police! Everyone down!
- [rock song continues]
[g*n clicks]
You did it! I told
you you'd get him!
[rock song continues]
- Nico?
- Yeah! Over here!
[officer] Ready team?
Line up. Let's go.
- Quiet! Shut up!
- [Nico] Target acquired.
Top of stairs, office.
[rock song continues]
Ahh!
[Nico] Target hit.
Target's taking cover.
[officer] Here.
Jacques? I've been told you want
to speak with a female officer.
I'll do the best I can to
help. My name is Lonore.
[officer] That's it, Jacques!
Hands in the air! Keep your arm up!
Lie face down on the
floor, beside the stairs.
That's it, Jacques.
It's almost over now.
Lie on the floor.
I have to do this,
okay? Now the other arm.
[music fades]
- [officer] Listen up! Hey, listen up!
- Good job today.
I want to raise my glass to Lo
for that beautiful negotiation.
- [officer] Bravo, Lo, well done!
- [all cheering] Yeah! Well done, Lo!
- [officer 1] Bravo!
- [officer 2] Hang on! I'm not done!
I'd like to point out there aren't
many of us girls in this group.
Apparently, we don't have the ba*ls
to be on the ground with you guys.
But, thankfully, us
girls, we have the heart,
and the delicate touch, and that bit
of finesse that you need to negotiate.
[all laughing and cheering]
- To Lo!
- [officers] To Lo!
[all hooting]
[g*n firing in background]
- [officer 3] What the hell's going on?
- Who's the moron sh**ting off rounds?
[officer 4] So what?
He's in for a bad night!
Bravo.
Thanks.
So, what do we do? We kiss?
[chuckles softly]
- Drop it, okay?
- You know, maybe I should hold your hand.
- Not even your hand?
- No, no, you don't touch me.
[officer on radio] Two suspects
heading down to the parking lot.
Francky, Lo, you're on.
Copy that.
[pop music playing
faintly on speakers]
- I knew you'd come around.
- Cut it out.
They're here.
[Franck] Look in your
bag. Did you find it?
- [Lo] Give me a second.
- [man 1] We'll pick up the guys.
- [Franck] You check your pockets?
- [Lo] I'm not stupid!
- [man 2] Somewhere here
- [Franck] Go ahead.
- She lost her ticket, so
- Ah, okay.
- [Lo] Stop stressing.
- [man 2] How does this...
- [Franck] Did you check there?
- [man 2] Ow!
- [officer yells] Face down! Don't move!
- [men shouting]
- [officer] Face on the floor!
- [man 2] Let me go!
- [man 2] Stop it!
- [man 1] Ahh!
- [man 2] Please, stop!
- I said stop! Don't move!
Let me go! Stop!
What do you want?
- [officer] Shut it! Shut up!
- If you don't move, it won't hurt.
[men groaning and clamoring]
[officer 1] Come on! Get
up there! Faster, move it!
[sergeant] Hey, rookies, move your asses
or I'll have you sent home to Mommy!
[officer 2] We
don't have all day!
- You want me to wait for you guys? Huh?
- [Franck] Is that good for you?
What's going on?
- You forgot to have breakfast?
- [sergeant] Hey, rookie!
Stop breakin' my ba*ls, okay?
Let's see you over on that
girder there, smart a*s!
- Yes, sir, sergeant!
- This way. Follow me.
Okay, get a move on!
- All the way out?
- That'll wipe the smile off your face!
- Okay.
- [officer] Go on! Show them, Ben!
- [officer 1] Spider-Man!
- [sergeant] We don't have all day, kid!
- [officer 2] Go on, kid!
- Kid's good.
[sergeant] Keep going! Come on!
- [officers yelling indistinctly]
- [officer] His rope is getting loose!
[officer laughing]
[officer] Hey, rookie, watch out!
There's a lot of wind up there!
Like my smile, Sarge?
- [officer] Kid's pretty good!
- He's not bad, Nico!
- I want him with us.
- Yeah, me too, Franck.
- [alarm ringing]
- Oh? Time to move.
[sergeant] Everyone down!
[officer] Back to work, boys!
[sergeant] Come on down.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [trainer] Keep your guard up!
Come on! Be aggressive!
Use your legs!
[trainer] Come on,
that's it! Come on! Kick!
Side kick! Come on!
- Keep your guard!
- [Franck] Protect yourself at all times.
[trainer] That's it!
Your guard, God damn it!
Why aren't you fighting?
I don't have a jock.
They don't make my size.
Oh, great, a
comedian. Wait here.
Hey, Bruno! Bruno! Hey!
Take him down! Take
that smile off his face!
- [Ben] Really? Are you serious? Fight him?
- Yeah, you asked for it. Show me.
[Franck] Come on,
Bruno! Let's go, Bruno!
[officer] Come on, Bruno!
Let's go! Let's go!
[officer] That's it, Ben! Yeah!
[officer] Go for it, Ben!
[all shouting indistinctly]
- [Franck] Come on, Ben!
- [sergeant] Come on!
[Franck] That's
it, Ben! That's it!
Take him down!
[all shouting indistinctly]
- [officers exclaiming]
- [officer] Good move, Bruno!
[Franck] That's it! Guard!
Ben, come on! Get up! Get up!
[officer] Get up!
[officer] Well done, that's it!
[Franck] You got this! Yeah!
- [Bruno yells]
- [sergeant] Yeah!
- [officer] Bravo!

[sergeant] Well
done! Good fight!
- Well done. Good job.

[majestic music playing]
[all applauding]
Good to have you.
Wear it well and be proud.
[all applauding]
[officer] Whoo!
Bravo, Benny!
- Thanks very much, sir.
- Congratulations. You can be proud of him.
Yeah. Well done,
baby. [laughing]
- [Nico] What now, huh?
- Stick it there.
- [laughing]
- [Nico] Well done!
- Are both of you settled in?
- [woman] Yeah, we're very lucky.
- Good!
- We still have a few more things to do.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [kid laughing]
- [Lo] I know. It's a pity.
- Can never be perfect.
[all in French] I live
for her Day after day
- ["Vivo per lei" playing on karaoke]
- When her chords melt inside of me
She's my most
beautiful love story
[all in Italian] It's a
first That never hurts
I live for her,
she makes me
- [in English] Unbelievable.
- Ben, listen.
You really don't have to
talk about it, but, um
It's just that I
really felt sorry that,
on a day like today,
you were all alone.
[laughs dryly]
Well, I mean, when you're the
the little Arab kid, and
your name is Benjamin,
and you've been raised in
a small town in France
Well, surprise, surprise, it
wasn't that easy to make friends.
- [laughs]
- And I lost both parents seven years ago.
Back when they adopted me as
a kid, they were already old,
so when my dad passed away,
my mom died soon after.
And that's it.
And now I have officially
ruined the ambiance.
And you never wanted to
look for your real parents?
No, for me, they
were my real parents.
I mean, I was never a priority for
my mom, so why should she be mine?
- That's it. Simple as that.
- Hmm.
- Okay.
- Okay? We're good?
- Cheers to you.
- ["Vivo per lei" continues on karaoke]
- [Nico in Italian] I live for her
- [laughing]
- [in English] Holy sh*t! Stop!
- [karaoke song continues]
[in Italian] I live for her

and me She's you and me

Go, go, go! Yeah!
[Franck] She's the winner!
["Airport" by The Motors
playing on stereo]
Airport!
Airport!
You've got a smiling face
You took the one
I love so far away
Fly her away
Fly her away
- [song continues in background]
- [chatter]
So, I guess all that psych
stuff, it must be pretty helpful?
- [laughs] I know, but
- I mean, all the psych stuff
must help to analyze the
people you're talking to.
Yeah, that's what I've been
saying for the past hour.
Mmm!
It was to let you know
that I understood.
What was that, precisely?
Well, I mean, you know,
it was pretty interesting.
And it's good for, um,
that kind of stuff.
Yeah, it's really interesting.
It helps me to understand the
kind of man I have in front of me.
Really?
Well, I suppose after
two years, you've, um
got me figured out.
That took me ten minutes.
Seriously? Am I
that transparent?
You're an open book!
[laughs and winces]
Are we gonna talk
about work all night?
Actually, I'm happy
you brought it up,
because you've just been going on
and on about this sh*t all night.
And I've been waiting
to f*ck for two years.
[laughs incredulously]
f*ck, that's a hell of
a lot of time wasted.
[both laughing]
Well, that was really stupid.
And when you said f*ck,
you mean you and me?
Oh yeah, f*ck!
[laughs] We better
get started then.
- Excuse me, sorry, I gotta...
- [Franck] Go! Quick, get out of here.
- [vomiting]
- [Franck] Ugh!
[Lo] Oh sh*t.
- Hey, man, what's going on in here, huh?
- The guy's sick.
- He's throwing up.
- You were in here with Lo? Whoa, Lo?
- No, forget it. There's nothing.
- Nothing, you sure? Nothing, really? Hey!
- [man 1] Looks like the party's over.
- [man 2] Hey, where's Ben?
[man 3] Ben's in the back of
the car. He threw up everywhere.

See you tomorrow!
[Lo] Airport!

Eight months and she
still dances till dawn!
I can feel this one
dancing in my belly.
- I'm off. Good night.
- [Manon laughs]
- [Franck] Did you have fun?
- Mmm. It was perfect.
- [Franck] It was.
- [Nico] Well, off to bed?

- Off to bed?
- Yeah.
- [Manon] You're such an idiot.
- I'm going to bed, okay?
- [Nico] Sure.
- I'm really beat. I'm exhausted.
- Yeah, sure. Hey.
- [Franck] What?
- You gonna see her?
- I said no! Stop it, will you?
- You're gonna f*ck like animals, right?
- No. Give me a break.
- [Manon] Give him a break.
The baby's asleep. Be quiet.
You're being obnoxious. Hey. Shh.
This might be the first time
I've actually spoken to her.
[Manon] Really?
And when you take the
time to have a serious
- Will you stop? Did you hear that?
- [Franck] Honestly, I'm serious. Really.
- Go ahead. Go on.
- Listen. I'm telling you.
When you sit down and take
the time to speak with her
- [Nico] Yeah?
- She's a pretty amazing person.
- [Nico] "Amazing."
- [laughing] Amazing!
She's chic and she's amazing.
- She's marvelous.
- She's unbelievable!
You're a pain in the
a*s. Geez. Time for bed.
- Get a good night's sleep. Important.
- [Franck] That's it. Bye.
- [Nico] See ya. Good night. Ciao.
- All right, ciao.
- [Nico] Sneaky little b*stard!
- You scared the sh*t out of me.
[laughing]
- So? We going somewhere? Where to, huh?
- Man, shouldn't you guys be in bed?
- You're busting my ba*ls.
- [Nico] Babe, you want go for a walk too?
- I need some fresh air.
- [Manon] He needs some fresh air.
[Franck] Hey, leave me alone.
- For f*ck's sake!
- What are you gonna talk about?
- Hostage crisis?
- Communication technique.
[both laughing]
- [Nico] Shh!
- [laughing]
- [Nico] That sneaky b*stard!
- [Manon laughing] Ooh f*ck.
[Franck chuckles softly]
[gentle music playing]
[man 1] Okay!
- That's it!
- [man 2] Looks done!
[man 3] Looks good.
Steak, meat, sausages
[man 1] Well, by the looks of things,
the colonel didn't come. Busy, I guess.
- Give me a burger, well done.
- [indistinct chatter]
I don't know what happened.
It might not be approved.
[overlapping chatter]
- Yeah! Well done! Bravo!
- [boy] Well done! Yeah!
[chatter continues]
[man] Come on! All together!
Pull! Pull together!
That's it! We got it! Don't stop!
Don't stop! Pull! Pull! Harder, yes!
- [all cheering]
- [uplifting music playing]
Go for it!
And, go! The race is on!
Yeah!
[both] Yeah!
- Bravo, Theo! You were cheating! Get lost!
- Seriously, man?
- You could just let him win.
- But I did let him win.
[overlapping chatter]
You were great, Theo!
[Nico] Theo is the champion!
- Theo is the champion!
- Runs in the family, they're all cheaters!
You're raising a new
generation of cheaters!
I'm telling you like it
is! You're all responsible!
Unbelievable!
What are you teaching
these kids, huh?
[laughter]
- [Lo] And this little piggy stayed home!
- [Manon] You're a natural at this, Lo.
[Ben] You know what's
left to do, Franck!
[Lo] Are you out of your mind?
I didn't put myself through all
of this just to have a baby now.
[Franck] Bam! You
weren't expecting that!
Well, me, I love kids.
Especially when they're not mine.
[Ben] Yeah, we've
heard that before.
[Franck] Godfather, that's
cool. I'm pretty good at that.
- [Lo] That's true.
- [Ben] You would've had beautiful kids!
- With your sultry eyes!
- And your bangs!
[all laughing]
- [Ben] Poor kid!
- [Nico] Yeah, bangs right here.
Who'd like a beer?
- [Manon] I'll have one.
- No, I'm good.
Apple juice for me.
[Franck] Look what you dropped!
Your pacifier, you dropped it.
That makes absolutely
no sense. It's stupid.
I mean, Franck, you can't
say stuff like that.
What do you want me to
say? I'm absolutely stupid.
- [Manon laughs] No...
- There!
You know what it's like to lose your
father when you're eight years old?
So this is what your
life's gonna be?
You're just gonna do nothing because
you're afraid something bad'll happen?
That's kinda sad.
Do you want to end up like
some of the guys in the team?
Spending their nights pumping iron
because they've no one in their lives.
What do you mean, "no one"? She
doesn't want to have kids either.
Why are you bugging me?
Just 'cause you breed like
rabbits doesn't mean we have to.
It's a pity, 'cause you and
Lo, you'd be great parents.
- Ugh! Please stop!
- [Manon laughing]
But she's right, buddy.
- You're gonna start now?
- She's right.
We can't do the things that
we do without a foundation.
It's impossible.
You can't get into a firefight
if you don't have a family
at home to keep you focused.
I mean, without the foundation,
you become a loose cannon.
You put yourself in danger, and
you put the team in danger as well.
You think it makes you weak,
but it makes you strong.
You have no idea how
strong it makes you.
- Every morning, it's there.
- But, wait.
If you don't come back,
what happens to them?
You embrace that fear.
It makes you stronger.
- I'm not here to piss you off, it's just
- You're not pissing me off.
It's important, man. Without Manon,
without the kids, I couldn't do it.
- Even if sometimes she breaks my ba*ls.
- [Manon laughing] Funny!
as*h*le!
- [Franck] He ruined it.
- [Manon] You ruined it!
- It was perfect, just perfect. Yeah, yeah.
- I was joking, babe!
9 YEARS LATER
So tell us, Nico,
where you going?
I'm not gonna tell
you. It's our vacation.
- Just send us your address.
- No.
- Where in Thailand?
- [Nico] I'm not telling you anything.
- Man's afraid we'll turn up.
- [Nico] That's not it.
I just want some
peace and quiet.
- [phone ringing]
- Hey, babe.
[Lo] Hi. Listen.
When will you be home?
We just finished a training session.
We're not far from Versailles.
Give or take in five
minutes. You okay?
Yeah, all good.
- I just wanted to tell you, um...
- Wait a second.
I've got another call, hang on.
We're not far away, okay?
See you in a bit.
- Yeah, Eric?
- Hey, Franck.
Listen, I'm down
here at the hotel.
There's been g*nshots
upstairs on the top floor.
Oh.
- Did you call the police?
- I don't know.
It just happened and I
called you straight away.
Uh, okay.
First, I'm gonna have to make a
call to see if we can get involved.
But, you know what? We're not
far away. We'll swing by, okay?
- Nobody goes upstairs. On our way.
- Okay.
See you there.
What is it?
A friend who works at the
Trianon says there were g*nshots.
- [radio chirps]
- Guys, we're gonna drop by the Trianon.
There's been
g*nshots. Follow us.
- See you there.
- [Ben] All right, let's go.
[sirens blaring]
[Franck] Yes, General.
We just arrived on site.
We can be operational
in five minutes.
Absolutely. Understood.
Okay. Nico, Ben, just bring your
sidearms. We're gonna gather information.
Guys? Get geared up.
We're not gonna intervene
yet. Waiting for backup.
- [officers] Okay. Got it. Okay, Franck.
- [Franck] I'll be back.
- [Eric] Franck. Hey.
- Hey, Eric.
- Thanks for coming.
- Is your manager here?
- At the reception.
- Okay.
- [Franck] Good evening.
- Hello, I'm the director of the hotel.
You can tell me what happened?
There were clients who
heard g*n shots upstairs.
- We called police, then you were alerted.
- Nico, stairs.
- [director] For the moment, nobody knows...
- [Nico] Excuse me, sir. Sir, please.
- [b*ll*ts firing]
- [guest screaming]
[yelps]
[dramatic music playing]
[men grunting]
- [dramatic music continues]
- [woman whimpers]
- Come with me. This way.
- [sobbing]
[officer] Secure the
site! Secure the site!
Urgent! Urgent!
Call an ambulance!
Two officers down!
I repeat! Two officers down!
Request immediate assistance!
- [groans]
- [Franck] f*ck.
Breathe. Breathe.
Nico
Nico!
Come on!
Breathe, Nico!
- Breathe.
- [somber music playing]
[Franck] f*ck.
Nico!
f*ck!
[sighs] f*ck.
f*ck.
f*ck, Nico.
[somber music continues]
I'm sorry to have to bother you, but
I need your weapon and your vest.
Thank you. For forensics.
Just go, guys. Show's over.
So, how are you doing?
I'm okay.
How long did they
keep you in custody?
Twenty-four hours.
- I told you not to intervene.
- We didn't intervene, Sylvain.
I went in to gather info,
then the two guys arrived.
[Sylvain] You should
never have gone inside.
If they hadn't seen you, they
would have left. No harm done.
Our mission was to pretend
we didn't see them?
No, Franck, your mission
was to obey my orders!
You wanted to do it solo, and
now we're all in deep sh*t!
You brought two men
under your responsibility
into a dangerous
situation with no backup.
That's completely irresponsible!
- I had no way of knowing they'd appear.
- [slams table]
For ten years, you've been
trained to anticipate!
I know how close
you were with Nico.
It's a terrible
loss for everyone.
I never imagined that one
day I'd have to do this.
But I don't have
a choice, Franck.
I'm afraid I have to ask
you to leave the team.
I can no longer trust you.
And you understand that trust is
what keeps this unit together.
I want you to know that this
had nothing to do with Ben.
And I take full responsibility.
It was never my intention
to fire Benjamin.
[pensive music playing]
[door opens]
[bittersweet music playing]
[crying softly]
Forgive me.
It's all my fault.
- [boy 1 muffled] Get out of my room!
- [boy 2 shrieks]
- [boy muffled] Stop, Antoine! He hurt me!
- [Antoine] I didn't hit you!
Go to your own room! I
don't want to see you!
Hey! Stop! Go to your room!
- [Antoine] Leave me alone, damn it!
- [boy] Open the door, Antoine!
- [Antoine] Go away! Leave me alone!
- [somber music playing]
[Lo] Want some help?
- [crying] Yeah.
- [boys crying in background]
I need
I need a walk. I
need to get out.
I can't f*cking take it!
[Manon] Nico, you were
a wonderful father,
and a wonderful husband.
You left us too early, too soon,
but you left us as a hero.
Your bravery,
your loyalty,
your kindness,
are what you would have
wanted us to remember of you.
You would never
want us to be sad.
So in your memory,
we will find the
strength to keep going
by honoring what
was best in you.
[somber music continues]
You know what we'll do?
When you want to talk, just ask your
mom, and she'll call, and we can talk.
- Okay?
- Okay.
All right, bud.
[Franck] I don't get it. This
is what you always wanted.
You never told me you
wanted to leave the team.
- This has nothing to do with you.
- So what's it all about?
It's about us.
What about us?
The two of us.
Building our life as a couple.
You know, building
a life together?
- Maybe this is a sign.
- A sign of what?
I've got nothing to build.
What do you want?
You want to take some shitty job
and build a shitty life, huh?
And build a house?
Finish paying the f*ck'
mortgage and then die?
That's not what we do, Lo.
It's not for us. I'm sorry.
[door opens]
[door closes]
It was around 8:00 p.m. that the
GIGN unit arrived at the hotel.
They met two individuals leaving the
premises and shots were exchanged.
It was during this firefight that
the two thieves were shot and k*lled.
Unfortunately, a member of the
GIGN team was fatally injured.
The question is, were the thieves,
who were known to the police,
caught in the middle
of a burglary?
We're still waiting...
Did you hear that sh*t?
They want us to believe
those two were petty thieves.
Burglars that can sh**t
and fight like that?
You don't find that
kind of strange?
[sighs]
What did they say
about your knee?
- It's not looking good.
- What do you mean?
I have to leave
the team, Franck.
You're joking!
According to the MRI,
the damage is permanent.
I can't put any weight on it.
The top brass offered
me a desk job.
I'm not gonna sit
behind a desk all day.
I'd prefer to leave.
- Ben, I'm sorry. It's all my...
- Franck.
Let's agree about
one thing, okay?
Don't ever tell me that
you're responsible for this.
If I thought we were
making a mistake going in,
I would've told you outside.
We did our duty.
Period.
[pensive music playing]
- Please.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [waiter] Madam.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
[Lo] I'm pregnant.
[laughs softly]
But I
I thought you
didn't want a baby.
Yeah, I didn't think so either.
But the thing is
I want to have this child.
Give me a minute, I need
to use the restroom.
[introspective music playing]
As you've noticed,
there's no elevator.
But you do have the benefit of
being on the top floor with the view
and this wonderful
natural light.
So, what do you think?
I think it's perfect.
[introspective music continues]
[suspenseful music playing]
IRCGN - FORENSIC SCIENCE
INSTITUTE NATIONAL GENDARMERIE
Here's the badge, and these are
the results of the blood test.
That's perfect, thanks.
Anytime, but don't tell
anyone you got that here.
This means nothing but trouble.
Okay. Got it, thanks.
Salim Lakdaoui.
He's ex-special forces.
He was working for the DGSI.
He proposed his services to
the different ministries.
So, I'm pretty sure the two guys
at the hotel weren't tourists.
f*ck. This is some serious sh*t.
That's for sure.
This is trouble.
Don't get involved.
[pensive music playing]
- [kids chatting and laughing]
- [doorbell ringing]
[Lo] They're here! Shh!
- Okay, quiet everyone!
- Shh! Shh! Shh!
Are you ready?
[door opens]
Lulu, keep your eyes well
closed like we said, okay?
[all] Surprise!
- [Franck] Happy birthday, Lulu!
- [all clapping]
- [guest] Happy birthday!
- [Franck] Happy birthday, big guy.
Happy birthday,
sweetheart. Love you.
- [Franck] You okay?
- [Manon laughs] Yeah.
- Whoa! Look at you!
- [Lo] How's it going?
[Manon] You're beautiful.
- Your dad would be proud.
- [indistinct chatter]
Franck and Lo helped me prepare
the surprise. Go ahead, sweetie.
- [guest] Yeah!
- [Franck] Harder, come on!
[all exclaiming and cheering]
[Franck] That's
it, Lulu! Smash it!
- That's it! Bravo!
- [all cheering]
- [kids chattering excitedly]
- [Franck exclaims] They're all mine!
[kid] Okay, guys.
Let's play Twister.
[indistinct chatter continues]
- [guest] Who has the yellow? Bravo!
- [kid] Ooh!
Right foot on red.
Right on the red.
- [chatter continues in background]
- He looks happy, huh?
Yeah, he's thrilled.
[laughs softly]
- You okay?
- Hmm? I'm fine.
It depends on the day.
It's a little more
complicated with Antoine.
Lucien, he cries a
lot, but Antoine
I'm kinda worried.
He doesn't talk, he keeps quiet.
I can see that he's angry, but
he doesn't want to talk to me.
He didn't want to come today.
[Franck] Why not?
'Cause he didn't
want to see you.
There you are.
I was looking for you.
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Antoine
I've been meaning to talk to
you for quite a while now.
To be honest, I just
didn't know what to do
or when to do it.
I know you're angry with me.
And you're right to be angry.
I'm angry with me too.
If I hadn't that made that
decision to go to the hotel
[breathes deeply]
none of this would
have happened.
But you gotta know, it's
really eating me up.
Every day, every night.
- I think about it.
- But I don't give a sh*t.
I don't care about you at all.
I'm sorry. That's not what
I meant to say, Antoine.
I'm here to help you.
I don't want your damn help.
I hear you know something about
how my dad died. Is that true?
I overheard Mom
mentioning something.
You're telling me
that you want to help?
Then start by telling everyone
what you f*cking know.
[door opens and closes]
- [woman] Hello.
- [Franck] Hello.
[woman] I'm sorry. I
got lost on the way.
- I don't know this area.
- I just wanted to meet in a quiet place.
Well, I highly doubt
anyone will bother us here.
I'm all ears.
Would you mind showing me that?
- You're not recording, are you?
- Don't worry, I'll turn it off.
- [Franck] Thanks.
- There, done. I'm listening.
Before I begin, I wanted
to ask a few questions.
Um
I need to know exactly what kind of risks
are involved for me and for my family
if I were to reveal
important information.
First of all, I need to
know if you can guarantee
that my name will
not be mentioned.
And if you have any control
over your editorial team.
Well, you must know that no journalist
is obliged to reveal their source.
- Yeah, but that doesn't mean they won't.
- Sure, but we won't do it.
You mentioned the sh**ting at the Trianon.
Are you somehow involved in this case?
[exhales]
I was there. I was a part
of the tactical team.
Outside?
No, inside.
[darkly intriguing
music playing]
Madam Minister, may I present
Mr. Lefebvre of our Secret Services.
- [Lefebvre] Madam Minister.
- Hello. Please, sit.
I'm listening.
Let me summarize the
situation, Madam Minister.
Seven months ago,
Colonel John Brennan,
an ex-Navy Seal and
active CIA operative,
arrived in France
with his bodyguard
to negotiate a significant
arms deal with Australia.
[suspenseful music playing]
[man] On the day of the meeting,
under the supervision of the DGSI,
and under the command
of Mr. Lefebvre,
two agents working for the DGSI
were supposed to retrieve
some of the files.
[device beeping]
[man] But then, as you already
know, things didn't go as planned.
f*ck. My phone.
We gotta go back.
God damn it.
[camera clicking]
[suspenseful music continues]
[door opening]
[silenced g*n firing]
[tense music playing]
But then, of course, there was the
unfortunate arrival of the GIGN,
which obliged us to hide
the identity of the victims.
We believed the situation
to be under control,
but we have just learned
about a new development,
which might prove
extremely compromising.
We learned from an agent working
undercover as a journalist
that Franck Lazarev,
former member of the GIGN,
responsible for
k*lling one of our men,
has contacted a journalist
pretending that he has solid proof
regarding the identity of our men.
- What kind of proof?
- Blood found on his badge.
The DNA
is irrefutable.
If the CIA were to learn
the truth of what happened,
this would be a
diplomatic disaster.
Under no circumstances can
this become public knowledge.
You have a job to complete.
Retrieve and secure the
DNA by any means necessary.
And once we retrieve the proof
what do we do with him?
[ominous music playing]
- Let's dry you before you catch cold.
- I'm freezing. Hurry, Mom.
Mom, can I have some hot
chocolate? Can I? Please?
[woman] Okay.
If you want, we can get some.
Then, after that, we go home.
[ominous music continues]
[Franck] No!
[wailing] No!
[van door slides closed]
[enforcer on phone] Hey,
Franck. Did you sleep well?
You remember our
conversation from earlier?
Look who's here.
[bangs wall]
You have four hours. Not one
minute more to bring me the badge.
If you don't bring it
to me by 2:00 p.m.,
I'll put a b*llet in her pretty
head and bury her in lime.
Don't you dare! You hear
me? Don't touch her!
- Okay, I'll bring the badge.
- Good.
I'm gonna give you a cellphone.
It contains clear instructions
on where to find us.
And, by the way, Franck, I'd
advise you not to go to the police.
You're a wanted man now.
Stanislas Bouckaert was found dead
with three b*ll*ts in his body.
Your fingerprints were
found on the weapon.
There are witnesses who saw you
chasing him near Sacr Coeur.
It appears that you left your workplace
without warning somewhat impulsively.
[laughing]
Is everything clear, Franck?
[thug] Phone.
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music playing]
[sirens blaring]
[sirens fading]
- [device beeps]
- [officers chatting indistinctly]
[officer 1] Keep your
eyes and ears open.
[officer on radio] Suspect should
be considered armed and dangerous.
- [man] Sorry, I forgot my gear.
- [officer] Where is it?
- [man] It's in the bathroom.
- [door opens]
[man] Guys, he's here!
[officer] Oh!
[officer] Suspect in sight!
Heading for the rooftops! Ahh!
Go around the other side!
[sirens wailing]
[officer] Don't move!
[dramatic music playing]
[officer] Hey!
Stay where you are!
[officer] He's heading
in your direction.
[officer 1] Stop there!
[officer 2] Don't move!
- Face down!
- Don't move!
[officer] Hey! Stop!
[officer 1] He got
away! I'm going down!
Everyone! On the roof, get
down! Get down! Get down!
[officer 2] Heading down! Let's
go! Other way! Coming down!
I've lost visual!
[dramatic music continues]
[tense music playing]
[Ben] That's it! Bob and weave!
Not so tough now, are we?
Keep your guard up this
time. All right? Let's go.
- That's it.
- Ben!
Mehdi?
- Keep an eye on them, please?
- [Mehdi] No problem.
- [Ben] I won't be long. I'll be back.
- [Mehdi] Guard up! Good!
What next? You've got no key
and the cops are everywhere.
I don't know. I have
to buy some time.
And I have to go get Lo.
Ben, I'll understand if you
don't want to get involved.
Tell them you're on your way
and you've got the badge.
[expectant music playing]
They sent me the coordinates.
Rambouillet forest.
Less than 90 minutes.
This good?
Yeah. It doesn't matter.
[Ben] Yeah. That'll work.
Thanks.
[expectant music continues]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music continues]
[music fades]
[car approaching]
[enforcer] Cellphone.
And your badge?
First, show me my wife.
Let's go.
[dark music playing]
Lo? You okay?
Saddle of the bike.
- [radio chirps]
- Check under the saddle of the bike.
I got you.
Let's get this over with.
We're gonna leave a
message for your loved ones
so they can understand
what you did.
"I don't want this
life anymore."
"And I don't want this child."
"Please forgive me
Franck."
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICES
We picked up Lazarev's phone
signal at Rambouillet forest.
Okay, I'll follow up.
[Franck] Wait!
- [thug 1] What do you want, as*h*le?
- [twigs snapping]
[thug 2] Check it out.
[tense music playing]
[branches rustling]
[thug] What was it?
[tense music continues]
You okay?
[enforcer] It's done.
Mm-hmm. Will do.
You too. Yeah.
[g*n firing]
- I'll call you back.
- [dramatic music playing]
- [radio chirps]
- What's going on?
Who fired that shot?
Where the hell did that
third shot come from?
Get out there!
[dramatic music continues]
[dramatic music continues]
Ahh!

- [car honking]
- f*ck! Lo! She's been hit!
- [Ben] What?
- Is it bad?
- Do you have a belt?
- [Ben] Yeah.
- Give it!
Here.
[Franck] You're okay.
Give me your arm.
- [Lo] Ahh!
- It needs to be tight.
- [Franck] Tight!
- Ahh!
[gasping]
- [liquid trickling]
- [Franck] Oh f*ck!
- f*ck!
- I don't want to lose it.
- You're not gonna lose it.
- I want this child.
Lo, listen to me. You're
not gonna lose the baby.
Lo, you need a hospital.
They're after me.
Lo, hang in there.
Ben, take her to hospital.
I'll see you there.
- Slow down! Slow down!
- What are you doing? No!
[music fades]
I'll take care of him! Go!
[grunts]
[enforcer growls angrily]

[Ben] f*ck!
You're finally gonna have this
kid! I'm not giving you the choice.
- Ben
- I'm driving you to the hospital.
- Drive.
- I'll be the godfather.
- [groaning loudly]
- Hey, Lo, what are you doing there?
- Hang in there, Lo.

On my way! Is Lo okay?
Ben, how is she?
- Not good, I can't keep her awake.
- Let me talk to her!
- Lo! Lo, it's Franck!
- [Franck] Can she hear me?
- [Ben] Go ahead, talk! She can hear you!
- [Franck] Lo?
Hang in there, baby.
I'm begging you, stay strong.
I love you. We're gonna
have this baby, you hear me?
It's our baby. Nothing's
gonna happen to our child.
You hear me?
Lo?
Lo!
Ben, what's going on?
Franck, she's passed out.
Hurry, Ben, I'm begging
you. Go as fast as you can.
- Doing my best.
- [grave music playing]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [phone ringing]
Yeah, hello?
Understood.
I'll let you know.
Time to go.

Okay.

Stop! It's over!
Hands where I can see them!
Stand up!
[determined music playing]
Step towards me.
Keep coming. This way, buddy.
Franck!
f*ck! Franck, don't
be an idiot! Franck!
[determined music continues]
[Franck grunting]
I'll be back, Ben.
Hang in there, Lo.
Stay with me, baby.
I got you.
[officer 1] Ben! Ben?
Medic! Medic!
[officer 2] He's alive.
[officer 3] We got you.
[determined music continues]
[yelling] Help me!
Someone, please!
Is there anyone?
[nurse] Whoa, what's going on?
You can't scream like that.
My wife took a b*llet to the
shoulder. She's eight months pregnant.
And her water broke.
She's losing blood.
We got her, don't worry.
Take her to the OR.
No, no, no, sir! You stay
here. We'll take care of her.
Ma'am, can you hear me?
OR Number Two.
[Sylvain] Franck.
