-Yes, what is it?

-It's the police.

Hello Mrs.

-Are you from the police?

-Inspector Levasseur.

-What for ?

-Can we come in? Pardon.

A baby is crying.

-Are you the inspector?

Inspector of what, first?

-Police inspector. This is the letter rogatory.

-Hey! We will have seen it all.

That's all the police find something to do?

Come and piss off the unemployed.

-Where is he ?

-What are you looking for ? We're not thieves.

-No point hiding it. Where is he ?

-But who ?

And what ? But what are you talking about?

...

You're not going to search everywhere neither !

-What is that ?

-It's a closet.

The baby is crying.

...

Soft music

...

-People like that, I'll beat them to you,

it wouldn't last.

Intertwined words

-It's disgusting, look what the cops are for.

The car starts.

-It's always the same.

We have been warned at the last moment.

-It's difficult to do admitted into these environments.

If they no longer have confidence, they close their doors to us.

We are here to help them.

-And us, to scare them.

-I am a social worker, to each his job.

Light music

...

-Hey, here's the kid.

What are you doing here, sweetheart?

-I don't know, I'm summoned.

-They confirmed before the judge.

And who has him? We prepared it for you.

-The boss is not happy.

-Ah, I always said it, the women,

It’s not made for this job.

-Inspector Levasseur,

I am summoned by the investigating judge.

-One second, please.

-Mr. Judge, please.

-Hello miss, are you doing well ?

-GOOD.

-Want to come over for a moment? -Oui.

-I will not hide from you that I am very surprised.

You questioned young Génère last night,

and I have no trace of this interrogation.

-That's right.

-During this interrogation,

Roland Genere made a confession to you.

-You think you know?

Who informed you?

-Come on, Miss, Did he confess, yes or no?

-It is more complicated than that, Mister the judge.

-Your friend, Mr. Substitute Berthot,

told me everything.

Are you sworn?

Come with me.

Please have a sit.

Inspector Levasseur, would you like repeat what the accused

told you last night during his last interrogation.

-Mr. the judge, I was not informed

-Master, please. We are listening to you.

-Mr. the judge, I'm not really sure

that Roland Génère wanted

-Inspector, he admitted to you be the provider of the network?

Did he admit to having provided drugs to students?

-He was tired

At the end of my nerves, and then

-Did you force him? Threat ?

-But no, of course.

-So he confessed?

-Yes exactly.

If I have not established minutes, is that

-Thank you.

-Jacques.

-It's obvious that

-Hello, Miss Levasseur.

You know Mr. Attorney General?

-Are we no longer familiar with each other?

It is going to be difficult, for confidences.

-I don't understand.

-Pillow secrets,

that you repeat to make you important.

Even if it must fuck up a guy and me.

-There is surely a misunderstanding. -Yes surely.

When you sleep with someone, we should not be ashamed of it,

Sir.

-I'm sorry, gentlemen, I

I don't understand at all what happened.

-It's not that one.

The Héry affair, I told you, not Erulin, Héry.

-We don't see anything there.

I've asked twice now let's change the light bulbs.

-It's not funny, archives.

The boss is angry, but it will pass to him.

I could say a little word for you.

-I need someone. -You shouldn't say that.

-I'm not fine ? You have a problem ?

Hery.

-He pissed you off again, huh?

-Thank you, Sondy.

-You're welcome, sweetie.

You are stubborn, but deep down, you have it bad.

I knew it wasn't a job for you.

-Don't smoke, Sondy, you're going to set me on fire.

-You know, when you questioned little Genere,

needed a report.

Always need a report.

We may have worked on it a little, okay, it's possible.

But he ended up confessing that he was selling drugs.

It had to be written, because in this profession,

We must not have any illusions.

-And me, I have illusions about it.

-Your Genere anyway, he possessed you well.

With the record he has and his little friends

who continue to charge it, it will take as much as possible.

-And that doesn't bother you?

-But no, since he is guilty. -What do you know?

What if he had a boyfriend?

A boyfriend that he would not want to denounce.

The mayor's nephew, do you know?

-What are you talking about ?

The mayor's nephew?

It's amazing, you just discovered

that the nephew sleeps with a PD drug dealer and drug dealer.

All we have to do is make an announcement! You're completely crazy!

-I thought you would help me, Probes.

-Help you

We know her reputation. But there has never been any proof.

-What if I had some?

-Good advice: let it go.

-OK.

I will manage on my own.

-Alright Alright.

If you're pissed, don't say that I didn't give you the signal.

-Mr. the mayor, do you count take legal action

-A press release will be published. A little patience, gentlemen.

-Police methods said that your nephew was framed

by questionable methods.

-It's true that he suffered pressures?

-Is it legal?

-Gentlemen, I don't know what outcome will this matter have,

but I want to say this:

in this case, the police only did his duty.

Don't wait for me to attack this or that of its officials.

NOW, the word is for justice.

-That's for the gallery.

Levasseur, behind the scenes, It's going to be his party.

-We're finally going to laugh.

-Health.

-So, you're happy, it's glory.

-Luckily we have Levasseur, no one would ever talk about us.

A phone rings.

...

-Come in.

-Bonjour.

Sit down.

Bravo for the photo in the newspaper.

Charming, determined, really good.

This is also the opinion of the minister himself.

He charged me with you convey his congratulations.

With nuances.

Because you put everyone

in the face of a fait accompli.

And when it comes to someone like the mayor's nephew,

with relationships that he has in government,

that's not the method the most recommended.

Have you read opposition newspapers?

Do you understand what I'm trying to say.

-But Génère was going to be condemned.

-What do you know about it?

Perhaps he was going to denounce the mayor's nephew at the trial.

We would have had the same results.

Less trouble.

Naturally, you, prudence, the measure, do not know.

As in private life.

-My private life don't look at anyone.

-If she remained private.

But the story of the slap,

right in the palace, before the prosecutor.

Place Beauvau, they love gossip.

With you, they are served.

And you fucked up the mess in the services.

And they want my skin.

So now what what are we going to do with you?

-Is that all you're taking? -Oui.

I shipped everything else in a trunk.

-You know, personnel movements,

it’s part of the job.

-Oh, stop, Sondy.

This mutation, It’s not advancement.

Bonnard is very happy to get rid of me.

You warned me, by the way.

-You are mad at me because that I let you down.

But you know, if I had followed you,

Today, there would be 2 of us taking the train.

I have a wife and 3 kids, moi.

-Yes, I know.

Come on, let's hurry, my father is waiting for me at the station.

-Okay, well, goodbye.

Okay, okay, I'll go.

Attends.

I didn't want to show that to your mother,

but you have to tell me.

What is true in there?

-"Gentle police violence.

"This mutation would be due with a fiery temperament

"of the beautiful divorcee who had slapped,

"no, a common suspect in a police station,

"but a magistrate right in the courthouse.

"Their intimate disagreement will not be carried on the box spring."

What does it matter to you?

You clearly see that it's a gossip newspaper.

-If it is written, there was something.

-I am 28 years old.

I would like us to stop to tell me what I should do.

There is something, yes. Nothing I can be ashamed of.

Ni toi.

Hein ?

-Good bye.

Bye.

...

Soft music

...

-Excuse me, Is it you, Corinne Levasseur?

-Oui.

-I am Inspector Simbert.

-Ah, hello. -Did you have a nice trip ?

-Yes thanks. -I'll take you home.

-Commissioner Porel, When will I see it?

-At this hour, the commissioner left.

You are in such a hurry to begin ?

-It's a small room rue de Thionville.

It's not great, but anyway, It's just to help you out.

If you don't like it,

you can always find something else.

-My luggage has arrived? -Yeah, 2 days ago.

I can't leave permanence for too long.

-Of course.

-I must leave you get by.

See you tomorrow. -See you tomorrow, thank you.

-Are you Miss Levasseur?

I will show you, it's up there.

It's not very big, but it's well heated.

You can help yourself of the bathroom,

but only 3 times a week.

There is a stove for your morning coffee,

but you won't the kitchen, right?

Frankly, I prefer to rent to men.

Women are always washing clothes

in the sink or to cook something.

Bon

I'll let you settle in.

It's true that you are in the police?

What exactly are you doing?

-I am an inspector.

-There are women in the police now?

It must be hard.

-Yes, sometimes it's hard.

Good evening madam.

-Good evening.

Soft music

...

-3 out of 6, you practice not enough, old man.

Come on, Simbert.

Ah well, that’s very good.

Nice group shot.

Well done, Simbert.

Fire

Miss, over to you.

Did you shoot often?

The internship, How were you rated?

-Like that.

-Okay, well, go ahead.

5 out of 6 is not bad.

-You see, when we are on the right side of the gun,

there's no need to be afraid.

-I'm not afraid, I don't like it.

-Roc, another box, It won't hurt you.

-Shall I take you back to the office?

-I don't mind.

-Here is the city of Schuler which houses 3,000 workers.

There is also the chain of De Schuler stores

who clothes and feeds them.

This is the boulevard Maxime De Schuler.

And here is the De Schuler bank.

-They also have a bank?

-2 banks: the mines, the foundry.

And then, for the sake of a clear conscience, there is even the De Schuler hospital.

This is the De Schuler stadium.

There behind, the De Schuler swimming pool.

-And what is this nabob like?

-An 84 year old mummy who takes care of his family

under an iron fist.

Ah, it's quite a dynasty the De Schulers.

Hey, they were already there, under Napoleon III.

They have survived all regimes.

-You seem well informed.

You're not from here, though.

-Before, I was in Mulhouse.

Police sirens

-Here, here is your paper.

You see that it wasn't complicated.

-Thank you sir.

-The next time, you pay attention.

Bye Madam.

-Okay, for today, it goes like this.

Here, this is it for you. Simbert, tu descends ?

-Yes, I'm finished, I'm coming. -I'll wait for you downstairs.

-Goodbye see you tomorrow. -Bye.

-You can type this for me in 3 copies?

It won't be long.

So, how are you ?

You get used here, Are your colleagues nice?

-Very nice, yes. -Bon.

Finally, if something It's not okay, you tell me.

-Mr. Commissioner ?

-Oui ?

-When is it What else will I do?

-Something else ?

-Well yes, issue the permits, classify reports

I know someone must do it, but...

-Oui, someone has to do it.

Until further notice, it will be you.

-It's an intern's job. I am an inspector.

I'm not in the police to shuffle paperwork.

-Mademoiselle, you were assigned here

without being asked for my opinion.

You have 5 years of shop, but you are still young.

And you are a woman.

I don't want to send you on delicate matters,

even less dangerous missions.

You have ambition.

You might be a commissioner,

in my place.

In the meantime, be content to do what you are asked.

It won't be bad.

The door closes.

Melancholic music

...

-How much do I owe you ?

-6 francs 50, please.

...

They laugh.

-Hey, can you come help us?

-Moi ?

-Yeah.

Intertwined words

...

-Here, can you wear this? Merci.

...

-I'll take the rest. Yes, yes, I'm coming.

...

-I'm going out, on the liquid.

I walk around on the Aquavit.

And can I?

-Who are you ?

-I am the driver, Mr. Puntila.

-What are you ? Say again.

-I am your driver.

-Wait, children. Not here, this, in the dressing rooms.

-So we do it when, this wedding scene?

-It's delicate, these things.

Say, I don't know you, toi.

-I'm here, incognito.

-A foreigner who is not from here.

It becomes captivating.

-I wanted to see what you were doing.

Master Puntila and his valet, Matti.

We really feel in a cultural center.

-If the boss heard you.

-For what ? Is he stubborn like that?

-Worse than that, he sucks.

It's me. -No that's not true.

-Yes, yes, I swear.

Marcel Backmann. -Corinne Levasseur.

-I have been running the house for 2 years.

I was intrigued in a way abject for having La Rochelle,

but the holder clings, so in the meantime, here I am.

-With “Brechte”.

-With “Brekt”.

-Pardon.

-Say, later, after repeating it,

we're all going to tease sauerkraut at Braneur.

They remain open for us. Don't you want to come?

-Oh no, I can't. It is already late.

-Come on, what.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

-All right.

Brouhaha

-I will tell you a little story.

They cheer for the waitresses.

-Who wants a sausage?

-Moi ! -We !

-Women first, I apologize, Miss.

-A little bit. -Oui.

-Merci. -Ca ?

-Oui.

-You know, my wife was an English teacher.

She always wanted to set me up his translations of Shakespeare.

And it is for that that we separated.

Si, they are chasing you.

She saw that I would go up never his Coriolanus,

she packed up.

At least you're not married. -Non.

-Hey, be careful,

he courts you, and then after,

you all meet again taking apart sets.

He did it to me.

-I never courted you.

What are you going to make him believe?

Maybe you could work with us.

Eh, outside of your job, I mean.

What can you do ?

-Read write.

-No joke? GOOD.

You also know how to type by machine?

It could be useful to us. Volunteer, we don't have credit.

-It seems difficult to me. -For what ?

What are you selling?

Greek, Latin, French?

I see you well

French teacher in a girls' college

with lots of copies to correct in the evening.

They laugh.

-Aren't you in taxes?

-She looks like she has letters.

I'm betting on the PTs.

...

-Neither ?

-No, but seriously, what are you doing ?

-I'm in the police.

-Hey, are you kidding?

-No it is true.

I am an inspector.

-In the theater, that's what which we call “an effect”.

-You see Backmann, culture,

it always ends in repression.

-Your baton, do you have it with you?

-Oh.

-Guys, you won't make a meal of it

because Backmann does chicken gringe?

-You start like this, you end up with a CRS.

-Very funny.

-Piss off, Backmann.

-It's better that I leave you.

-But no, stay, let's see. They're idiots, they're messing around.

-What I like in people like you, it's tolerance.

-Yes, but tolerance,

there are houses for that.

-It wasn't Brecht who said that.

-Well, hats off!

If the cops start citing of Claudel,

we're never going to get out of this.

Soft music

...

There's a knock at the door.

-Excuse me for disturbing you so early.

The baker committed suicide in the city of De Schuler.

The boss asks that you go there.

-He wants me to go all alone ?

For what ?

There is no more envelopes to glue?

-We are all busy elsewhere.

The car is downstairs, I'll leave it to you with an agent.

-All right. -That I won't forget.

The studio that my wife found you,

Maybe you should decide.

-Yes, I'll take care of it as soon as possible, thank you.

...

Isn't that suicide?

-And and.

They're all up there. Come, I'll take you.

-By making her vomit, you saved her.

But I'm going all the same have her hospitalized.

-Hello doctor. -Hello miss.

Don't question him right away.

She is still in shock.

-Well me, I have to take the father.

There is a formal complaint. -What happened ?

-The little one will explain it to you. She was the one who filed the complaint.

-Come with me.

-Bastard!

The crowd shouts.

-Bastard!

...

-Garbage!

-Yesterday, I went to the police and I said everything.

That's why that they came this morning.

So, mom, she was so ashamed.

-She didn't know really nothing before that?

-She pretended nothing.

Once, I tried to tell him,

she told me that I was a liar, a vicious one.

Again, supposedly I was crazy.

-And how did it start?

-The first time, I was 12 years old.

He told me it was normal.

What all dads did like that.

He put the pillow on me on my head so I don't scream.

And then he said:

"If you tell, You will go to prison.”

I no longer dared to fall asleep.

I always thought that he was going to come.

So in my bed, I covered myself with my toys,

with my school books, but he took everything away.

He did it anyway.

-Did it last 6 years?

-Afterwards, I got used to it.

But last year, he made me a baby.

SO...

So, we went to Thionville see a good woman.

-Why don’t you have it? said before?

-My mother, I tell you.

She didn't want to know.

And the other people, What would they have thought?

He's my father, after all.

-In the end, you were fine to the police, all the same.

-It is because that he started with Aurélie.

-Your little sister ? -Oui.

...

-Hello Mrs. -Bonjour.

-I'll bring you Aurélie Leroux.

-Yes, just a moment.

Hello ?

Little Leroux has arrived.

Okay, very good.

We're coming to get her right away,

if you want to sit down.

-Oui.

-Come on, go sit down.

You see, there are lots of children.

You'll be fine here.

-Will I stay here long?

-I don't know.

You know well that your mom is in the hospital.

Your father is traveling.

Your big sister can't take care of yourself.

-Yes, I will wait for mom when she comes back.

-But you can't be all alone in your house.

-Listen, you're a little girl.

-Bonjour.

Hello, Aurélie.

You just arrived for lunch time.

You come with me ? -One.

-Can't I go with you? -Non.

No, I'll just see you.

I promise you.

Goodbye, sweetie.

-Bonjour.

Bonjour.

You are the planter children now?

-Sometimes, yes.

At the police station, it's not always the baton.

-For the other evening, I wanted to tell you...

-I do not care.

-The others were really stupid, I apologize for them.

-It never happens to them, to your friends,

to look around?

The little that I just brought here,

she was raped by her father, She's not even 10 years old.

SO, what can we do ?

What do you offer, YOU ?

Instead of kidding about Brecht while eating sauerkraut.

-Seen like that, of course.

Only, in this society, everything has to be done again.

If not to do, then...

-But meanwhile that you did it again,

who will take care of Aurélie, right here right now ?

YOU ?

Person.

-I wouldn't let's stay like that.

You do not want Let's see each other this evening?

-I can't this evening, I'm moving.

-All the more reason you will need with a helping hand.

-All right.

...

-Pardon, Did you hurt yourself?

-Non. -Go for it.

-No, go ahead. -You are welcome.

-It is more convenient. -I'm going, excuse me.

-What's in there, stones?

-Oh, books are heavy.

That's it, we're arriving.

-You just have to put it there.

Voilà.

It will ?

-It's better.

-Sit down.

You want to drink something ?

-It's not a refusal. -Oui.

-Okay, I'll see what I have.

I don't have much, I don't think.

-It's not bad here.

-Compared to what she had before, It's day and night.

-You know ?

-Oui, at a good old woman's house.

She couldn't take a bath whenever she wanted.

-Ah good ? -Plus, there were cockroaches.

-Cockroaches ? In the bathtub ?

-No, everywhere.

In old houses, it’s often like that.

-Yes, it’s often like that in old houses.

-There you go, that's all I have left, I'm sorry.

-But it will be just fine.

-I don't have a glass.

-Cheers.

-Health.

-It feels good.

Fracas

- Shoot him in the legs, shoot!

He groaned.

He pants.

Ambulance siren

...

-Not shiny.

-I aimed at the legs, but at this distance...

-So, finally, is it him or is it not him?

-Maybe we'll know one day, if he doesn't die.

-He will die ? -I don't know.

If you had pulled your legs, he wouldn't be there.

-Thanks anyway, you may have saved my life.

-It's nothing, it’s the professional reflex.

-Oui.

It's the professional reflex.

The children are screaming.

...

-Bastard. -Someone go get him.

...

-Hey, come see!

Come !

-Is it Etiennette?

-Is that her?

-Yes, I tell you, she's my daughter.

My Etiennette.

-Go home, Mr. Muller, we'll come see you.

-Come on, Robert, it’s useful There's no point staying here, come on.

-Roc ?

SO ?

-We can't find the shoes.

-It means that she wasn't killed here.

She was transported. Keep looking.

-We will find who did this?

-Yes, we will do what is necessary. -Yes as usual.

-Come on, go home, Ladies and gentlemen.

-You two will see a little about the people of the surrounding area.

Sometimes someone saw something.

Afterwards, you will pass at the child's parents.

And try to be back at 5 a.m. at the office.

Come on.

We will take stock.

- Where is he going? -Yes, yes, I'm done.

Ladies, thank you, Goodbye.

-Goodbye, ladies.

SO ?

-Well, as usual, no one saw anything, heard anything.

Did you get anything?

-Nothing at all.

People are closed like oysters.

-Eh yes, it’s the country that wants that.

We'll see here.

-Who lives there?

-Doctor Godiveau.

An old pain in the ass.

-Bunch of little idiots! Brutus, come on.

-It smells like a menagerie.

-Come on, come on, come on.

-Mr. Godiveau?

-Mauriac! Damn it!

You're not going to eat the part of others.

Everyone has their own plate, damn it.

It's not open in the morning, come back this afternoon.

-Mauriac, you fucking jean, you haven't finished yet?

-Doctor, Inspector Simbert, Inspector Levasseur.

-To the police?

I don't give a damn about the police.

I've had my fill.

It's not going to start again, For God Sake.

-It's about the crime next door.

-The crime ?

What crime?

The world is full of crime.

Ah ! Malraux!

Salopiaud !

Oh, you peed again on books.

He pees everywhere, Malraux.

A cat meows.

He's laughing.

Hey well, you want me to confess to you,

it delights me...

to see the French police represented by a midinette

and a Senegalese.

To confirm everything I predicted.

The conspiracy is in full swing.

We talked about it, Montherlant.

-Doctor, Doctor have you noticed something

last night or even last night?

-I saw nothing, heard nothing.

I do not want it anymore to make me upset,

to make me eat my kidneys.

They did everything to get me shot.

...

I was purified.

7 manuscripts were burned for me, so now, motus.

Sewn ears, sewn eyes, my lips are sealed.

Notice to the ass-clappers,

the polytherapist no longer responds.

-Goodbye, Doctor. -I'm not taking you back.

Gallimard ?

Where are you still hiding? Eh !

You pimp.

Salopiaud.

-This guy is incredible. Is he really a doctor?

-Actually, he is no longer a doctor.

He was removed from the council of the order a long time ago.

That doesn't stop him from winning his life with its bites,

a serum of his invention which is rejected by the faculty.

-Is he a healer? -You heard: a polytherapist.

-Ah, a polytherapist, yes.

Bells ring in the distance.

...

-They don't even have me let her see her.

They took her right away.

-It's better like that, Madame Muller.

-When I saw she was coming back not yesterday, last night...

I thought she was went to grandma's house.

She was there, on the slag heap.

My little Etiennette.

-Don’t talk about that anymore, Mrs. Muller, you are hurting yourself.

Courage.

-Goodbye, Colonel. -Bye.

-Miss, inspector.

-Courage, old man.

And if you ever need whatever it is,

don't hesitate for a second.

-Mes respects, mon colonel.

-Is he a colonel? -Finally, retired.

It's Colonel Morange.

Personnel director foundries.

But it's especially the right arm you duc De Schuler.

Excuse me, Mr Muller,

but I have to ask you some questions.

You believed that Etiennette had spent the night

at his grandmother's place.

It happened to him often to stay there?

-Never without warning us.

-Yes, it's like last time where she returned after midnight.

We should never have left her.

-And no one saw Etiennette, last night, in the neighborhood?

-I saw her.

-You saw it ?

-Oui.

Around the corner from the doctor's house.

-What's your name ?

-This is my daughter, Solange Watin.

She was a friend of the little girl.

You hurt everyone with your questions.

-Did you speak to Etiennette?

-No, she was with a gentleman.

-With a gentleman, but which one? You know him ?

-I'm not sure, it was dark.

- Could you recognize him?

-I believe.

-So, at 7 p.m., suddenly,

you decide to take a drive.

But I already told you that.

I wanted to push her on the Lorgeville road.

It was heating up.

Not everyone can buy a Rolls.

-You are back in Lorgeville at 7:30 p.m.

You store your car in the street.

Hold...

For what ?

-Why not ?

We're not in the gulag yet.

-But you have a garage, Mr. Godiveau.

-There was a van just in front of.

-You haven't met someone ?

Someone you talked to.

-A little girl, for example.

-A little girl who, afterward, entered your home.

-Oh, that's it.

The messy party starts again!

Purification!

-Godiveau, last night, someone saw you talking

to little Etiennette Muller.

You have been formally identified.

-Anything, anything.

They would invent anything to have my skin.

There's a knock at the door.

-Mr. Commissioner, we have the forensic report.

-Ah, they are strong, the Jews.

Police sirens

-According to the forensic doctor, she was strangled

with a piece of fabric.

Scarf or towel.

That, we suspected.

Between midnight and half past midnight, she was dragged and carried

to the place where we found it.

We suspected that too.

Ah.

The little one was not a virgin.

-Yes, she was raped.

-No, before death, there was no sexual violence.

-Well then ?

-Well, it's simple.

She had had intercourse sex within hours

preceding his death, but without violence.

And it wasn't the first time.

-A 12 ans ? -Yeah, at 12.

-Thank you, I don't need you anymore.

-I am here to carry glasses of water, me.

-What are you looking for, Finally ?

You know very well that it's Godiveau.

You saw his file at the office, nothing but urinals.

-Precisely, me, I don't see an old homosexual

strangle a little girl.

-You know, when we have a vice, we are capable of anything.

-Is it all in Etiennette?

-Yes, gifts.

-These are nice gifts.

Did you give it to him?

-Oh, I don't know anymore.

Parents, friends...

For his birthday.

Haven't you finished digging? What are you looking for ?

-Don't take it the wrong way, M. Muller.

It's always like that, investigation.

-Ah, those were his little ones memories of her.

This is at his school party,

with his mistress, Madame Pélissier.

And that was last summer, on vacation in Berck.

-Hey, but there’s Solange there.

Where is it ?

-Oh, that’s the workshop photography,

at the house of culture.

And this one, it's with his little cousin Félix,

the son of my sister Josette.

-On and go?

-Yes, let's go.

...

-Say, Muller, you receive some, beautiful people.

Why do they come to search? at your place ?

Instead of searching in beautiful neighborhoods,

we come to search the victim's home.

It's easier, huh?

-What does it mean ? -It means what it means.

-Goodbye, Mr. Muller. Bye Madam.

-Stop me here.

I'll meet you at the police station. -All right.

-Hello, Solange.

You recognize me ?

Oh yes, you recognize me.

You have the same skates than Etiennette.

You were shopping with her ?

-Yeah, sometimes.

-When I was little, I also had skates.

Not the same.

You've had them for a long time, yours ?

You do not want to answer me ? -Non.

-And those of Etiennette?

Who bought them for him?

Wouldn’t that be Doctor Godiveau?

-Non.

-Non ? Someone else ?

-Yes, someone else.

-Another gentleman?

Hein ?

Don't you want to tell me his name?

-I do not know him. And then, it's not even true.

-What's not true? -Leave me.

-It's not the kids who needs to be pissed off.

-What I concern myself.

-I know, people always tell me that, It seems that I lack tact.

-And apart from that, what do you do?

-Apart from that, I am a turner.

Metal turner.

Finally, I was, because at the De Schulers,

we don't like it very much trade unionists.

So now, I'm unemployed.

-It gives you time to criticize the work of others.

Earlier, at the Mullers,

What did your sentence mean? in beautiful neighborhoods?

-Ah, Godiveau.

The ideal culprit, Godiveau, hein ?

Nobody can blame him.

Yes, an old PD, former collaborator.

Ah, you can go.

Push it in well. Everyone will applaud you here.

During this time, villains full of money

will continue to traffic with the kids from the settlements.

-You know things.

Why aren't you going to say them? to Commissioner Porel?

-So that he throws me out? -But of course.

Vicious people full of money, It's a bit vague, isn't it?

Evidence is needed before accusing people.

Non ?

-Go see Dominique Allier,

the photograph from the house of culture,

you will see if he doesn't have any, proofs.

-You know how much it costs, solicitation?

-It's been 3 times that you take me on board this week.

-Miss Levasseur, in my office.

-If we don't work, How are we going to pay our fines?

-Ah, now is not the time. You come ?

-We're just asking you a little discretion.

-What were you doing with this guy?

Diego Cortes?

Sit down.

Ah yes, everything is known in small towns.

I do not want let my inspectors show off

with anyone.

-It was he who wanted to speak to me.

-He's an anarchist with twisted ideas.

He fucked up at the foundries before being fired.

In the campaign against the factory atomic, he was there too.

And you show yourself with this guy you.

-I did not know. Now I will be careful.

But still, he told me a weird story.

-Oh, I have no doubt about that.

-On children, it seems... -Oh yes.

Perverted children. I was waiting for that one.

Do you remember of the rumor from Orléans?

It's the same thing.

Since you have been here,

you have already seen parents file a complaint?

And your Cortés, was he able to give you a name?

-Yes, Allier.

Dominique Allier.

-What does he do ?

-He runs the workshop at the house of culture.

And sometimes he takes children in the countryside,

take pictures.

Look.

There, it's Dominique Allier.

Little Muller was one of his students.

There, it's Solange Watin.

-So what ? They also go to class.

You will suspect School's director ?

Maybe they go to catechism.

You will also say that the priest was jumping them, right?

-Vichery. -Oui ?

-Go get Miss Levasseur. -Good, commissioner.

-Come by tomorrow morning at the police station.

-Yes, but we will touch still unemployment?

-Of course.

-Inspector, the commissioner asks you.

-You wanted to talk to me?

-Yes, you will go with Simbert

pay a little visit to Mr. Allier.

-There is news ?

-Levasseur, when someone tells me something,

I always check.

Your Ally, he was convicted twice

for indecent assault on minors under 13 years old.

-And he directs a children's workshop?

-Oh, you won't blame me for that too.

-Ah, your mandate.

-Merci.

-I don't know what you're looking for,

but I think that things are going to be crazy at the town hall.

It's not the first time that the cops annoy us,

They never found anything here.

You think we're smoking hash for kids?

Here they learn photography, that's all.

-That's not bad.

Did they do this?

-Yes, yes, we teach them everything: to develop, to draw, to dry.

When they know how to do all that,

there is more to develop their artistic sense.

-You often take them walking ?

-Oh yes, every Wednesday, when it's sunny.

I teach them to make landscapes.

And look, that too, they are the ones who did it.

It's nice, isn't it?

-What is this what this place?

-It's nothing, a house. -She's yours ?

-No, I rent it, for weekends.

-We are going to go there. -I don't recommend it.

You know, the owner, it's Colonel Morange.

-On and go? -I'm going to call the commissioner.

-Is this a barracks here? What is happening ?

I'm the director!

What is this story ? Dominique, what’s wrong?

-Don't worry, Marcel, it's nothing.

It will work itself out.

You want to go to the colonel, We are going to go there.

-A bored educator, it's going to make noise.

-An educator who has already 2 convictions.

-They choose you to come and annoy me.

You made yourself reprimand for Godiveau.

So, you arrest Dominique. -We don't stop him, we check.

Did you know Dominique Allier?

Before hiring him, did you know who it was?

-What does it mean ?

The deputy mayor sent it to me.

Allier is a friend, Godiveau, trash.

He denounced Jews, wrote horrors.

-That's not the problem.

It's about knowing if he is guilty,

and that's all.

-Today like yesterday, he's a bastard.

-What if he is innocent?

-Let him die!

-So, are you happy?

You might fuck me up peace now.

-What is that ?

-That's a shed.

-What's in there? -I don't know.

It's for storing equipment. -We'll go see.

-If it amuse you.

-There's nothing up there.

-And there? -Nothing but papers.

-What's in there?

-I don't know, the colonel's affairs.

I don't think he would like it let's look inside.

-Do you have the key?

-No, I never opened it.

-Is that the colonel reading Mickey?

Look at.

More...

It's little Solange.

Solange Watin.

-Yes that's it.

-And there, Etiennette.

-They're all children of the region.

-So, this is yours?

-Non, I'm as surprised as you.

It's the colonel's, he is the one who must be questioned.

-We'll see that. Come on, take him.

-You are going to arrest me for 4 photographs found?

I tell you it's... -Take him on board.

-My old man, you are not finished to hear about that.

-New York, New York.

Los Angeles, Los Angeles.

The Angels.

Do you remember the circular who came from Paris?

-California police said not just in their porn magazine,

there was also French material?

We didn't know where it came from. -Now we know.

And there, names with numbers.

Customers and suppliers.

-In any case, It’s a beautiful crowd.

All the cream of the region.

Inspector.

I found this in the boiler, half burned.

-Etiennette's shoe.

-But yes, That’s exactly his description.

-She's a liar.

You know it well that you are a liar.

-No, I'm not a liar.

You made us do photos with Gilou, right?

Just ask Marie-Jo and to Nathalie’s brother.

And to Odile Mercier.

-So, this Gilou, they all talk about it.

-I don't know, he's a guy that I had as a mason

to fix up the house.

He went home, in Bordeaux,

he stayed in the courtyard, they must have seen it 2, 3 times.

-His name, his address.

-I don't know, I tell you he's gone again.

-In the photos, it was Gilou.

He hid his face so that we wouldn't recognize him.

-She is a mythomaniac.

For Godiveau, she made you walk.

-Are you kidding me ? What about the other children?

It's not much mythomaniacs?

And the doctors? And all the photos?

-The photos, I don't know. For Etiennette, it's not me.

-And his shoe in the boiler?

-But it's not okay? Are you blaming me for everything?

There are lots of people who come to my house

when I'm not there, they had to burn them.

It's you who says that they are his.

In fact, it suits you, that allows you to whiten Godiveau.

-It's okay, take him.

-It's not because I have a record.

I rented it to Colonel Morange. -Get rid of this.

-Be careful, you shouldn't piss me off too much,

because I can get wet of the world, me.

-Come on, Solange, it’s over.

-Of course, nothing to the press about the colonel.

We'll be pissed off enough for renting to this scum.

A phone rings.

...

...

-I'll give it back to you. She was great.

-My little girl.

It's impossible for this to be true, all this dirt.

-You have to be patient, you have to be nice.

-Fuck, at 12 years old, You have to be patient ?

We see she's not your daughter. -It's not his fault.

Come on, goodbye, Solange, merci.

...

-Bye Madam. -Goodbye, Mr. Watin.

...

-That works ? -Not so bad.

-Bonjour.

-Bonjour. Hold this for me.

I did not think that you were going to come.

Tell me, you have nothing against the priests, you?

-Ah no, not particularly, Why ?

-I would like to introduce you to some one that will interest you.

-Hi, Jean-Pierre.

-Bonjour.

-You see, she came.

-Bonjour. -He is Father Henning.

-Sit down.

Okay, for the fair, we'll see later.

I was impatiently waiting for you.

I am happy that you came.

Really.

This is what I found the day before last night in Lille.

-How did you find them?

Children's porn magazines are prohibited in France.

-With all the young people passing by,

I learn more than you in your police station.

We can buy this in a shop in old Lille.

-Which store?

- A sex shop.

Finally, a sex shop not just like the others,

where can you find these magazines,

then not bad other prohibited things.

-The owners have no problems?

-Oh no, exactly no.

Officially, the store is managed by Mrs. Yriex.

Nadine Yriex.

In fact, the real owner of the shop,

it's Colonel Morange.

You see.

Until we do it to him trouble, that one.

-Do you have any proof?

-Are you free tomorrow ?

-Photos taken by Allier with the kids,

it's Nadine Yriex which sends them to California.

She has the exclusivity American magazines

for all of Europe.

And the one who touches the profits are Morange.

-He knows you are there, your commissioner?

-Of course. -And what does he say?

-That I'm wasting my time.

-I'll take these 3 for you.

-Be careful, they are going to come out.

-Is that her, Nadine Yriex?

-It's her, yes.

The beautiful Gilou.

-When I think that there is a warrant out for him.

-Stop it now, you're throwing everything away.

-Hi, Madame Christiane.

Can I have my gypsies? -Oui.

Voilà.

-Thank you, see you tonight. -Bye.

Suspense music

...

-Make a pass at the little one there.

...

-See you later. -See you later.

-A pack of gypsies, Please.

-A pack of gypsies.

-Bonjour.

-Merci.

Do you have lighters? -Oui.

What lighter do you want? -What do you have ?

-Goodbye, Bertrand.

-Do you want chocolates? Candy ?

-They're going out.

-Jean-Pierre, you stay there.

...

And now you believe it?

But what do we do?

-But nothing, I can't do anything. I don't have a mandate.

I'm not even in my jurisdiction.

-Me, I'm not a cop, I don't need a warrant.

-Diego, wait, that’s stupid...

-What are you doing here, bitch? What do you want ?

Are you having problems?

You stink, I don't like your face, do you want me to sleep with you?

What are you doing here? Talk to me, answer.

You got lost there, as if by chance.

-What are you doing ?

-She doesn't want to talk, we're going to bed.

-Come on, I'll show you.

-We're going to bed, and we're going to fuck her

each in turn, we're going to set him on fire.

We're going to garden it.

-I'll show you what we do to little children?

-Spread her thighs. A pilgrim arrives.

Leave her. Get out of there, there's a guy.

-Diego.

-Are you in a lot of pain?

-People to whom I have not given back only services, at the time.

-You weren't wary enough, colonel.

You have been, let's put it this way, imprudent.

-Good, my lawyers will advise.

But, already, I wonder:

is this really necessary to file a complaint?

-That, I don't recommend it to you.

-Of course it is useless to stir up all this mud.

The essential, it's just this scum

be punished, right?

Well, goodbye, Commissioner.

Ah, Grégoire, are you okay?

-It's okay, Colonel, my respects.

-Yes yes, I'll be there in an hour.

-The Lille public prosecutor’s office will take the Yriex affair in hand.

You did a great job, Levasseur.

-But how, the Lille public prosecutor's office?

Why doesn't it stay with us?

Nadine Yriex and Allier, it's the same thing.

And Colonel Morange? -Don't complicate things.

A prostitution network childish was demolished.

Well, well done. The rest is politics.

The phone is ringing.

Oui.

Commissioner Porel.

Ah.

Allier has just hanged himself in his cell.

-This one, we can say that his death suits everyone.

That he hanged himself voluntarily or not, that,

We'll never know.

Because Nadine Yriex and Gilou will not speak.

In exchange, there is a nice income

who will wait for them upon their release from prison.

As for Colonel Morange, he's white like that.

During this time, the blue ballets,

the pink ballets continue.

-I know.

Soft music

...

-Attention, you have to remember.

-Etiennette said she was going have a lot of money,

and that the gentleman, he was going to give it to her.

-Which sir? Dominique Allier?

-No, not Dominique Allier, another gentleman.

Mr Ludovic. We often saw him in the countryside.

-What was this gentleman like?

-He is nice.

It was he who gave us skates.

And then he gave at Etiennette the record player

and then the small television.

-And what is it What about these money stories?

-It's because the little brother d'Etiennette was ill.

So she asked him for money. And he didn't want to give.

She said she would tell everything to his dad,

he gave the money.

-Attention, Solange,

can you describe it to me exactly, this gentleman?

-He has glasses surrounded by iron.

-What's his name again?

-It’s Ludovic, Mr Ludovic.

-I checked page by page.

No Ludovic.

Besides, not a single name of the region.

Only addresses in Sweden and California,

and supporting documents laboratory.

-Mr. the Judge, there was around thirty names

people from the region in the last pages.

Allow.

They were torn off.

Do you remember, this list of names in the notebook,

at Allier?

In the first,

there was a Ludovic, a Ludovic something.

A name that came up several times.

Ludovic, you remember, you even said:

“There are all the elite of the region.”

-I really don't see.

-You tell stories. What's the matter ?

-Nothing's happening. I'm just doing my job, that's all.

Come on, go to bed, you need it.

-So, you don't want to tell me?

-You're annoying me, Levasseur.

-Ludovic of Gueldre.

This is the name you are looking for.

-From Gueldre.

But yes, Ludovic of Gelderland.

Why didn't you tell me avant ?

-When you know who it is, you will understand.

-Ah no, it’s okay now, you tell me everything.

-He's De Schuler's son-in-law.

He is the president of the foundries

since the old man passed him the bar.

-He wears glasses with metal frame?

-Oui.

-Mister the judge,

you really want to question M. From Gelderland?

This is taking a huge risk.

And if little Watin don't recognize him?

-Solange Watin will not come.

Her parents sent her away at an aunt's house,

somewhere in Corrèze.

-Maybe they suffered pressure, right?

-It was our only charge against Ludovic De Gueldre.

-A kid who lied for Godiveau.

-We still have this left.

Pages have been torn out, but Miss Levasseur

had time to see them, and Inspector Simbert.

They are sworn, right?

-Mr. the Judge, in this game, we will all have problems.

-Commissioner, someone was able to tear out these pages

under your nose or under mine.

We have been, in this case, rolled.

Will you support me?

-Absolutely.

-You are always ready to testify?

-Well yes, of course.

-Mr. Judge, I believe that it is Monsieur De Gueldre.

-And Morange came too.

-What nerve.

The commissioner whistles.

Mr. De Schuler.

The ancestor moved in person.

-It's been 8 years that old De Schuler

didn't leave his house...

And you want always question your son-in-law?

-I always want to educate the Muller affair.

The phone is ringing.

Hello yes ?

Yes, Mr. Prosecutor.

GOOD.

With her.

Heard.

There will be no hearing of Mr. De Gueldre, commissioner.

Mr. Prosecutor wants to see us in a quarter of an hour,

Mademoiselle.

-Well, definitely, we will have seen everything.

-Please sit down.

My dear Becker, I think this time,

you will agree, we are well and truly at an impasse.

Your only witness, little Watin slips away.

God knows that I warned you about.

See the result?

You think that if I made you come,

it's not to meddle police affairs.

Your minister would immediately go complain to mine.

I would just like that you understand

how much does the investigation of a case how delicate this one is.

Put yourself in my place.

Not proof, not a witness.

An empty folder.

Obviously, Godiveau would have been a perfect culprit.

It is not him, Let's stop talking about it.

So, the Muller affair, it's what ?

Who is it ?

The child's murderer, it is most likely

Allier or this Gilou, his accomplice.

It is obvious that it is on this side we must look.

Becker, I tell you this to avoid the mistake

of your career.

-But finally, Mr. Prosecutor, there is still the black notebook.

-The black notebook, the pages torn out.

A name barely glimpsed on a page that has disappeared.

Let's go.

-Mr. Prosecutor, I saw these pages.

And Inspector Simbert too.

-I have no doubt about it,

but Inspector Simbert has no memory of it.

And that seems insufficient to me to issue an indictment.

-But it's you who's talking indictment, it's not me.

What I ask you, is to let myself be questioned

people whose names I saw on the notebook.

-That's what I'm trying to make you understand.

It's the mentality of a city from the provinces, everything is known.

Questioning someone is already cast doubt on his morality.

It is still necessary presumptions

more serious to discredit

on a personality too estimated that Mr. De Gueldre.

Remember that it belongs to a family that prospers

this region for several generations.

-Yes, last time, the mayor's family

earned me my change.

-Hold.

I was told it was an incompatibility problem

with a public prosecutor, a substitute,

seems to me.

-I would still have liked confront little Solange

with Monsieur de Gueldre.

-Let's be a little realistic, Becker, will you?

-His parents don't want that she testifies,

because they know her well.

She has already accused Godiveau, now it's Mr. De Gueldre.

She is capable of inventing anything.

-There are details that we can't make up. I spoke with her.

-Oh, as for the details, she knows a lot

for his age, that's for sure.

When I read his statement on photo shoots

at the Allier farm.

It's very simple, I don't have dared to tell this to my wife.

But precisely, Mademoiselle, it's this early perversion

who should encourage us to caution.

- To be prudent, yes.

But when it comes to imprison someone

who did not pay his television dramas,

we're not talking about caution.

-I know this kind of demagoguery.

I didn't know it was in progress in the police.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in this file, Miss.

You understand, it's too easy, we pronounce

serious accusations against high-ranking people.

It's causing a stir all the way to Paris.

The Keeper of the Seals call me for an empty file.

Is not it ? Vide.

Mademoiselle, I'll be honest with you:

your good faith is not in question, but we have to stop.

-The judge was reprimanded I felt it coming.

You had nothing to do with the prosecutor.

-I didn't ask for anything. -This is an indirect blame for me.

The prosecutor is smart, he yells at me without speaking to me.

I got the message well.

You forget all that, there's work elsewhere.

-But, Judge Becker... -Oh no!

Let go of this excited.

They are all the same, to the judiciary.

Until further notice, I'm your boss.

Besides, all this escapes us completely.

It's politics.

It's over for us.

You understand ?

It's finish.

-Eventually, they are the strongest.

You shouldn't stay in this rotten environment.

Go away.

Get out before you become like them.

Look at your judge, even him, he's ready to let you down.

-It's not true.

If Solange spoke, he would be ready to restart the affair.

-But you don't understand?

From Schuler, Morange, they bought them, the Watins,

so as not to let their daughter testifies.

-It's simpler than that. Watin is employed at the foundries.

His house belongs to the foundries.

If they take away his job, his accommodation too.

That's a lot for a worker 45 years old.

-Are you sure of that?

-Colonel Morange made a little visit.

Everything is known, no one says anything. De Schuler brings them all to life.

-We will always be fucked.

We'll have to get used to it.

-Not me.

Not me.

An alarm sounds.

...

-I have nothing more to say to the police, me.

For me, all that is settled, there's no going back.

-Goodbye, ladies and gentlemen.

-Good bye, sir.

-Solange will not always stay at his aunt's house.

He hanged himself, Allier, he wasn't alone.

Remember what happened to Etiennette.

Solange knows too much things.

-Are you trying to scare me? -Oui.

It's because I'm afraid, me too, for her.

-Solange, she is nice, You know.

The day I learned, I slapped him.

You realize ?

I believe that it was the first time.

-We have to bring her back.

-My wife won't want it.

-What do you want What do we tell the judge?

You know we don't know anything. -You, no, Solange, she knows.

That's why, she has to speak.

-Is it true, everything she says?

After all, we We do not know anything.

Then there will be more scandal.

Dirt in the newspapers.

-And also on TV.

-Not to mention that afterwards, you can look for work.

At your age...

And where will we live? -And the children?

Are you thinking about the children?

Your neighbors' kids, of your friends.

It's time to do something, to stop it.

-I don't know.

Solange, maybe she won't want to say anything anymore.

In any case, I won't force her.

-Me neither.

-Help me.

What I ask you, is to bring her back.

-Be careful, Solange.

Its very important.

Look at.

Are you sure it's him?

-Yes, it’s him. It's Mr. Ludovic.

-How was it going, did you stay there all day?

-We stay all day, and then...

...

-So, are you happy?

-I'm not unhappy.

-And do not forget, snack time is at 5 a.m.

-It will ?

You are happy that I came to see you?

Soft music

We're going to stand there.

Look at,

I brought you some cakes.

Hold. -Non.

-What, you don't want it?

-Non.

-But why, Did you eat too much at lunch?

-No, I didn't eat.

-Have you not eaten?

You have to eat.

You're going to be sick.

...

-Come and get your file tomorrow morning.

-Hello, Grégoire. -Bonjour.

-Hello, Eliane. -Bonjour.

-It will ?

- Dis, the boss already who wants to talk to you.

-Ah, right away?

There's a knock at the door.

-Come in.

-You made me ask?

-Oui.

Sit down.

Tell me frankly, Levasseur, finally here, between us.

You really want stay in the police?

-How so ?

-You never thought to resign?

-No never.

For what ?

-Let's ask the question differently...

Are you sure the police want that you stay at her place?

I hasten to tell you that the idea didn't come from me.

More, you are spotted in high places.

You suspected that, I imagine.

Discussed to transfer you once again.

So here it is, the best...

Finally, according to the ministry.

It's a resignation letter.

All you have to do is sign it.

I repeat that it doesn't come from me, it comes from much higher.

Finally, I also believe that this is the best solution.

-And if I want to stay in the police, me?

-You really want to pass the rest of your days

at the back of an office, to copy minutes,

with prohibition to participate in surveys,

to use cars?

Until the day where we will transfer you

in another position then a third, a fourth,

with bosses more and more vagrants,

do you care about it?

-And you, Mr. Commissioner,

what do you think ?

-I knew an inspector who underwent this treatment

during 4 years.

One night, he took his service weapon,

he shot himself in the head.

Understand, Levasseur, they don't want you anymore.

I point out to you that the judge Becker was transferred to Ariège.

-So, if I understand correctly, Ludovic de Gueldre,

Colonel Morange, Are they going to get out of this?

It doesn't bother you, to stay in this policy?

-To the police?

She existed before you, at the police station.

You don't think you'll transform it to you alone?

She does what she can, at the police station.

For a company which isn't even worth it.

You have to take it as it is or go away.

-You are right.

Even though I'm not a cop anymore,

I am still a witness in the Muller affair.

And there, no one will stop me from speaking.

Person.

-Exactly, be careful.

You will find yourself all alone.

Without weapons, without your colleagues.

You will have to be very careful.

This is the role of the police to protect witnesses, right?

-In principle, yes.

-She leaves her house.

She gets into a Ford taxi Granada in gray color.

Registration: 31 16 FA 62.

-Can you stop there?

-So what do we do ? Are you going down or shall we continue?

-Continue.
