Original subtitles

When John Lennon died, I was shocked.

I was shocked when Harrison died too.

And if McCartney dies,

I'll be sad.

What about Ringo Starr?

"Ringo Starr"? No, not really.

I don't like the Stones' Angie.

I can do without it.

But ll like the Stones.

Yeah, I sure hope so!

You guys have tacky tastes!

Ever heard of Dolly Parton?

- "Dolly Parton"? - Yes! A country singer.

The Stones are yesterday's news!

- The Beatles too. - So are cowboys.

But Jagger is proof you can age and keep on rockin'.

- True, and he's our age. - Exactly.

I've met him, you know.

Sure! He dropped in for a drink, right?

I went to his place in '92.

I was working at Sécurimax. I dropped off a briefcase...

...at his chateau, right here in France.

France is a beautiful country!

Beautiful and vast.

Pass me, you bastard!

Take this!

Jot down the plate number, just in case.

HQ? Armored car No. 8 here.

CASH TRUCK

- Yes? - Alexandre Demarre.

I was told to show up today.

Have you ever experienced traumatic events?

Married? Children?

No.

Just as well.

Psychiatric disorders?

No. I've already answered these questions.

Vigilante keeps its own files.

No criminal record.

Good.

- Are you unemployed? - Yes.

You'll be on probation for a month.

Sorry, we have to follow certain rules.

On January 1, we'll need extra help for the holidays.

If you do a good job, maybe they'll keep you on.

The last to be hired aren't necessarily the first ones out.

The guys are particularly unmotivated these days.

Head to the locker room. A colleague is expecting you.

Hurry or you'll be late. By the way...

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to come see me.

That's why I'm here.

There won't be any problems, sir.

- It's over now. - Yeah, you mean we're through!

- Is it African? - No, it's a fusion.

Hi.

- My name's Bernard. - La Belette.

- Alex. - See you later.

I'll give it back to his wife.

Sign here.

- What is it? - A petition for the training.

- What training? - Bingo!

Is it normal for you to start without any training?

We only target practice six times a year.

Cops practice six times a week for at least a year.

Thanks! Welcome to Vigilante.

- Sorry. - Who are you?

- Sorry, I'm new here. - Hurry up, we're late.

- Women work here too? - One woman.

Thank you.

Here. 92R67. Memorize it.

This is your gun. Respect it.

Thanks.

Nicole, you're late. It's on record.

- Armored car No. 3. - Three...

"Three," right?

- Heavy, huh? - And you can't drive with 'em.

But when the Yanks buy us out, you'll get shiny new shoes.

- What are you up to? - He's with me. Hi, I'm Jacques.

Meet La Momie.

- Hi. - It's very simple...

- We load and unload. - Sit up front.

- Don't play with that. - Wake me up when we get there.

OK, go catch up on some sleep.

- What'd you do before? - I worked in a bank.

Good think you switched. You can get axed at any time.

At least we can chat.

You'll see, you'll like it.

- Got a heavy vehicle license? - No.

I suggest you get one.

You're making 1200 a month, but drivers earn 1350.

- What's his title? - Messenger. Almost 1500.

But the risks are greater.

- Been at Vigilante long? - Let's see now...

Seven years. Shit!

- Who do we serve? - Those our competitors avoid.

Shady districts, small shops... We rarely make big pickups.

Less money means less danger.

He'll escort me to the safe. Stand near the truck.

- Hi. - Hi.

Put that away before we get in trouble!

You ain't even a cop!

Fuck you and your mother!

Faggot!

OK, let's go.

Stay cool! They're just having fun.

Armored car No. 3.

- What's this week's password? - "Indigo."

You're on the ball! Indigo.

- Are you married? - No.

Good. You wouldn't last.

- Want some? - What are they?

They're like candy... Good candy.

No, thanks.

Here. The pork special.

- Ever get held up? - Me? No.

What about Vigilante?

Three times this year.

Thousands of armored cars, yet we get hit three times.

A coincidence?

Pass me Le Parisien, I gotta check out my horoscope.

Don't forget, our trucks don't meet the latest standards.

Ours don't feature superior armor.

When will that change?

When the Yanks buy us out, not before.

They haven't even bothered to replace the stolen boots.

We transport millions and the company's struggling.

What's your sign?

Shut up, Dolph!

- So how do you like it? - It's not bad.

- You work for the Yanks? - Why do you ask?

- Dolph! He's picking on him. - They sent someone last year.

They were looking for moles,

so I rid the place of rats.

- Bastards! - They must suspect management.

The leaks always come from there.

Three euros.

- All I have left. - I'll give you your change.

- My commission. - What commission?

See you tomorrow, guys.

- I'll think about it. - Sign! Even the new guy signed.

Stop bugging her. Need a lift?

No, I'll walk.

- Sure? - Yeah.

Take care.

- Alex is single. - Don't start!

You asked me.

- Nice guy, huh? - Yeah.

See? He signed.

- How long will you be staying? - A month, initially.

- Stan, have you seen Isabelle? - No.

1450 euros.

Room 652, north wing, as requested.

I don't want anyone to clean my room...ever.

- All right. - Thanks.

Thanks, Isabelle.

Do I know you?

Thanks.

'62 Fiat, right?

Yes! I'll bring it back to life and take you for a spin.

Your rust bucket's finished!

Didja gas up the trucks today? We could've been stranded!

- That's all? - We never see the cash.

- So you're not tempted. - That's right.

Makes no difference. Let's go.

Electricity is our worst enemy.

With a 20,000-volt charge, you fry instantly.

Not everyone can afford a rocket launcher.

Right! You need 12,000 F. A grenade is 200 euros.

Made in France.

Now suburbanites request armored cars.

Guards were recently attacked by pitbulls.

La Belette! We're gonna be late!

Here I am.

This is the good stuff.

Look.

Your turn. Take a good puff.

What the hell were you doing? I've been waiting 20 minutes.

Are you new?

Where'd you find him?

Damn! Nothing but coins.

Come on, hurry! I've got better things to do.

One day I'll make a complaint.

You could say good-bye!

Leave the door open.

Alex.

This way.

This always turns me on...

Look people straight in the eye and you'll see...

...they're paranoid.

- Move it, I'm starving! - He has to stay inside.

He's been here 15 years, leave him alone.

No!

It's in your blood!

- My dad and his dad were cops. - Why aren't you a cop?

I failed the entrance exam.

- That's a shame. - But I have connections.

- Best pusher in Paris. - Come on, let's go.

What's my name?

Bernard.

Get in.

- That's all? - They didn't take everything.

Let's go.

Fuck! There's a recession!

Even hash doesn't sell.

One bullet per shooter!

Your turn, Butagaz.

- You've been drinking again! - Shut up!

Yes, Nicole! Bravo.

Just like William Tell.

- Apply yourself! - I don't like this.

Yes.

The rookie can shoot for me.

Come on! Your turn.

Don't worry about it.

Raise the gun upwards.

Keep your arm stiff.

- Good! - Right in the thigh!

She ain't goin' anywhere!

We were in the parking lot...

...and he was gonna whack the dog!

It was no bigger than a rat.

Your change. I'll see ya.

- See you. - See you.

Hey, can I ask you somethin'?

Sure...

What are the hot spots?

Some routes are more dangerous than others, no?

Looking for thrills?

Yeah, kinda.

Don't get your hopes up. I've never had to use my gun.

Although we've been held up three times already this year.

The same guys?

They've already killed nine guards and two civilians.

I'm sure it's the same guys.

And if those bastards target me, they're gonna regret it!

Gotta croak someday, no?

No.

Take care.

- You OK? - Yeah.

- You'll be with Bernard? - Yeah.

He's just looking forward to retirement.

Don't argue with him, he's nuts.

We transport smaller sums, we're not likely targets.

Yeah, we have it easy now, but Christmas is a month away.

Things'll heat up then.

We're in the midst of a recession,

so interest rates will come down.

In the short term, stock market averages will rise.

That's my specialty.

Things are hectic at the firm.

I asked for some time off to be with you, but it's impossible.

It's the economic climate.

A micro-event in a micro-society

in an economic microcosm.

We have to react quickly. You used to admire me for that.

You didn't necessarily understand

what I was doing when I'd tell you you had won...

...or that I had won.

You were proud of me. I feel the same way.

You'll be proud of me later on.

You need to rest, that's all.

Remember, I'm just a phone call away.

I can come visit you late at night or early in the morning.

Isabelle!

Isabelle!

Sweetie?

Wake up, I finished earlier.

SPECTACULAR HOLDUP

ANOTHER ARMORED CAR HOLDUP

- Mornin.'. - Mornin.'

Sir...

No calls or visitors in three weeks and I can't clean up...

- On a stakeout? - No.

- You're a cop. - Wrong again.

- Here during the holidays? - Yes.

Lend me some money?

I'll give it back when I get paid for overtime.

How much do you need?

50 euros, to buy my son's gift. Before they run out.

- It's all I have. - Thanks.

See you tonight.

Stop that!

This isn't a new uniform.

- The bullet marks still show. - Knock it off!

- Sign. - What is it?

Extra-risk policy petition.

No, I don't want any problems with management.

Don't complain later!

Take your petition and shove it!

Damn!

- Wanna take my pic? - He's in a foul mood!

Please take another one.

Thanks.

It's dog-eared!

Place du Général...

- Put on your vest. - So I can get shot in the head?

You'll be with Nicole and Alex. The supermarket pickup.

- I break in the rookies! - Please!

When the Yanks take over in 10 days, there'll be new rules.

- No rookie on a dakar. - What's a dakar?

- An especially risky route. - Where violence can erupt.

Are you Nicole?

- I'm Karim. - Maybe later on...

You're 10 minutes early.

Whatever.

I don't have all day! Get with it, old man!

Would it kill you to say Merry Christmas?

The door!

Bastards!

- We'll be bought out? - Yeah.

- What do you think? - Don't worry about it.

Thanks.

Alexandre!

Hey, rookie! Mind sitting elsewhere?

Nicole.

Nicole!

Whatcha doing later?

Still don't want any?

What do these do?

Pick you up.

Take two.

Together with this...

...it's dynamite.

You knew that preppy guy back there?

I forget.

How'd you end up here?

Depression.

Poor you.

You haven't had it with this job?

I know

they won't keep me on, so I don't give a crap.

Quite a bundle, huh? Imagine...

We'd be all set.

I know you've thought about it. We all have.

Just one bag... We'd feel less stupid.

Although I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Given all these attacks,

is there a traitor at Vigilante?

Four or five years ago, I would've said no.

But today...

They even hire Arabs!

Nicole?

Just between us... Is it true you're a dyke?

The bonuses!

75 euros each.

- Thank you. - I'll take two!

- Thank you. - Asshole!

- The Yanks'll gave you a raise? - Talks are ongoing.

- And your union activities? - That won't change.

I forgot to remove the bullet.

- What's she doing? - Don't want anyone to get hurt.

Please come with me, Marylin.

- Why? - Please.

- What? - Jerk!

Enjoy! I might not be here next year.

- Why, you'll be in jail? - Yeah, right.

Soon I'll switch to coke, like the jet set.

Great!

Have you seen Alex?

No.

- Got any slows? - Yeah.

Let me do the math.

Just a sec...

It's a brand new cell, I'm not sure how it works...

Look, I dunno... 3.8, 3.9.

It depends on the markets.

I dunno, but if it's the same rate in Europe, it'll be...

...15 or 16.

I just don't know.

I'd have to... I can calculate that for you.

It's no fun being attacked by a tiger...

...in the middle of a forest! Did you pee, tiger?

I'll call you back.

Last one to buckle up is a rotten egg!

You like to pester me while I'm talking.

Right?

You can't jump on me when I'm on the phone!

We should tell your mother we're on our way.

What's he doing?

What's going on?

Let me pass, old man!

What the hell's he doing? Put on your seatbelt!

Your seatbelt!

Go, Daddy.

- Floor it! - Sit down and stay put!

You certainly deserve this.

Who are you?

Will you ask me to dance?

I was getting paranoid thoughts.

Why's that?

"Cause it took a month before they teamed us up.

Oh...

What are you doing here?

Earning a living, like you.

You have beautiful hands.

What are you doing here?

Are you a journalist?

Or an author?

I asked that no one enter my room...ever!

OK, I understand.

- How'd you get that scar? - Please!

Good-bye, sir.

Stop.

Show some respect for the dead!

I'll shut you up!

Calm down! Break it up!

- What happened? - He called him a snitch.

- Who? - Gramps.

- He sure had something to hide! - You stupid jerk!

Calm down!

If you wanna let off steam, do it in the ring!

Shake hands.

Idiot!

This week's password: karma.

"Karma"? I've had it with your candy-ass passwords!

- Calm down, OK? - I'm no pantywaist!

Hey, Alex! Time for our own tribute!

Watch out! Relax!

He's as pale as a ghost!

That'll teach you to jack off in the shower!

Alex! I told you what happened at the bank?

- Three times. - Make it four.

It happened in Sudan, I was with a pal of mine...

- Don't move. - Get out!

Get out! Don't be a hero, get out!

You! Get out!

This can't be happening.

The coast is clear!

- Shut up! - Out!

Out!

I'll show them!

Here come the fireworks!

- We're under attack! - Don't wimp out!

Go show 'em who's boss!

Hurry!

Why'd you do that?

You screwed up!

Let's go!

Come back here, you lowlifes!

You did nothing wrong.

You were acting in self-defense.

I didn't need any of that.

You drove them back. That was quite a feat.

I killed a kid.

But he probably took part in three other attacks

that have left nine guys dead.

No, 10 after today.

You know that for a fact?

All the men who quit in similar circumstances

slid into a depression.

If you stay, you'll be a hero.

I'll put in a good word for you.

Your job is guaranteed.

Can I go now?

Sure, go home. Hang in there.

And send in Bernard.

He nearly became French kickboxing champion.

The Yanks courted him.

- How do you know that? - He told me so himself.

Yes?

Thanks for calling.

The union executive agrees we should hold a strike vote.

The company's folding in a week!

- The Yanks won't give a damn. - Great attitude.

We've had enough deaths here!

- What's wrong with you? - Who'll be next?

That's enough, Nicole!

You're all the same!

They fired me!

They offered me a job as a janitor!

You're gonna testify in my favor!

Remy.

Nicole.

Francis.

Tell 'em I had nothing to do with it!

It's your fault he died!

You bitch!

Stop your bullshit!

Stop.

- 1 won't stand for this! - Face the facts!

I think he's upset.

What'd they tell you?

The usual nonsense.

Right... You almost died, no big deal!

I'm quitting.

You're gonna let me down too?

Yes.

Those dickheads!

They leave for Bangkok tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry, I know it's your last night here.

- Where's Isabelle? - Isn't she in there?

Come on.

Thanks.

They're looking for you at Reception.

They can keep looking, we're outta here.

Miss...

Gimme.

Who was that guy?

I'd say Santa Claus, but you don't believe in him.

Hello?

No.

How'd you obtain my number?

Sign this and help yourself.

- What is it? - A training petition.

- What training? - Here we go again...

- You haven't even been trained! - Buzz off, I'm not interested.

Just don't come crying to me later.

No luck with the rookie, huh?

You'll go far with a bonus.

You gave in for a tip.

What's wrong?

That's a janitor's uniform. They should've fired you.

- Get off my case! - Hi.

Great to see you.

Hi, kid. Welcome back.

The company's closing. Hi there.

Next week, maybe we'll all be unemployed.

It's Christmas Eve, but he came back anyway.

And that's wonderful.

Seems you were also hired by the new company.

Maybe we can team up.

But keep it between us, OK?

- My game console's missing! - Who the hell cares?

92V13. Remember that!

- 92V67. - Never mind. Here...

They gave it to somebody else.

I'm taking you out for a drink.

After what happened, ll won't take no for an answer.

See you.

- Have a nice day. - See you.

See you.

We gotta talk!

- Well? - 1 don't have your console!

This route's a jigsaw puzzle. It'll take hours.

See you tonight.

Not bad, huh?

If you stay out of trouble, I'll take you out for a spin later.

Alex!

You're with us.

- You first. - Butag! Switch with me.

The boss said so.

- What's this crap? - It's a done deal.

No way you're teaming up with that dipstick!

Shit!

I bought 'em all: Solitaire, Astro, Super Bingo.

Start scratching!

Nope...

Nope...

Why'd you come back?

To work.

Not "cause you missed me?

You won 100 F, you bastard!

- We split it? - I hope so!

Where are we going?

To visit the rich.

Your buddies.

Seems you used to be swimming in money.

La Momie told me.

Don't you miss that?

Yes.

- I took the wrong entrance! - It's OK, we're in no hurry.

Yes? No, we're 10 minutes late.

No, everything's fine.

- Nicole. - What'd she want?

To kiss you. That's a first!

That music's getting on my nerves.

- I'm screwing the boss! - Go screw him in the back.

OK, relax!

- You were tailing me? - Yeah. I found you intriguing.

So what do you think?

You came back to prove yourself again.

What else?

I like you, so I'm gonna help you.

How?

By introducing you to some friends of mine.

OK.

Thanks.

When?

You...

Right now.

What are you doing?

I was sure you were working for the Yanks... No, he is.

Seeing all that fuckin' money, day after day...

It's inhuman.

I swear I tried to resist...

...but then I met them, and that's when it started.

Now it's very simple:

Either you're rich...or stupid.

Armored car No. 3. Karma.

Consider yourself lucky.

If La Momie hadn't cracked, he'd be sitting next to me.

They're sure taking their sweet time!

The boss said he'd reinstate me.

Tonight's the night to self-destruct.

I'll take it out for a spin tonight.

- Any plans? - To sleep with my wife.

- Wanna check her out? - Depends. Is your wife pretty?

Bernard is our best shooter. He's kinda dopey, but useful.

Stay by my side, nothing"ll happen to you.

We'll have 12 minutes. Merry Christmas, Alex.

Close your eyes.

Shit!

I warned you.

What are you doing? Stop that, Alex!

What are you doing?

I swore I'd kill you! Don't be stupid! Stop that!

Stop!

Nice and easy...

Start loading!

I'll load, then we split.

Alex!

Alex!
