Les Brigades du Tigre

Mobile brigade.

Created in 1907 by Clemenceau to put an

end to an unprecedented wave of banditry

that marks the beginning of the 20th century, this special police corps is the first in the world

to use against crime all the resources of modern science.

The results obtained were spectacular.

But if the men of the Tiger, as they

are called, quickly dealt with the many

gangs that infested the countryside, it is different for criminal organizations,

better structured, familiar with modern techniques and

whose branches often extend to several countries.

Mr. Clemenceau,

your cops have now become brains incognito.

They have left their bicycle and their horses.

Meanwhile, in novels, some tell how...

to do a heist calmly to pass the time.

I would like to see them there...

in our place, to avoid getting 20 years for it.

Subtitling Société Radio-Canada.

Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. Okada.

Mr. Okada, passing through Europe, has kindly agreed to

give a demonstration of a combat technique used in his country.

What do you call this wrestling again?

Jujitsu.

And I thought you could respond to him.

Me? Against this gentleman?

Come on, Paul, this is not serious.

We are not in the same category.

And besides, I don’t want to hurt him, this gentleman.

No, no, he claims that strength has no importance.

As you wish.

Sit down, gentlemen.

Go ahead.

What do you say it is called? - It is jujitsu.

In five minutes, in my office. Bravo, sir.

So, you don’t want to try?

Agnès of the king of Norway had it last night in central Paris.

And why must we deal with this?

Order from the Ministry of the Interior.

They have received formal instructions from Foreign Affairs.

Apparently the government is currently negotiating

very important deals with King Håkon.

This matter comes at a bad time.

Very bad.

We must put an end to it as quickly as possible.

Discreetly, if possible.

For discretion, it starts well.

We cannot prevent journalists from doing their job.

What was he doing there? - Ask him.

The article is signed Durieux.

Antoine Durieux.

Yes, I had already had the opportunity to meet her at a cocktail.

And I recognized her immediately.

Christina Knudsen, the very niece of the king of Norway.

And a pretty girl as well.

You can’t make that up.

Were you not surprised to find her there?

You cannot imagine how many people from high society like to come

to let themselves loose in this kind of places. I go there because of them.

To pick up a little scoop.

Or a big one. The proof.

After all, a young girl alone, that does not happen often.

Exactly.

I thought that it might not be a

bad idea to keep an eye on her.

And then, at the ball, what happened?

Oh, nothing special.

She danced with one, then another.

With everyone who invited her.

It seemed to amuse her.

A whim, apparently.

I even learned that she had managed

to shake off her suitor during the evening.

Strange girl, between us.

And not timid, believe me.

Afterwards,

when she left,

I decided to follow her to see.

And there I saw it.

Are you finished, both of you? - Yes, yes.

Nothing else to tell me, Mr. Durieux?

No.

Good. I will let you know when I need you.

Good.

Very well, Mr. Minister.

Come in.

Ah! 100,000 francs.

That is the sum the kidnappers demand.

They have just called the Norwegian ambassador.

The ambassador now wants to stop our investigations.

So, what should I do?

The government has decided to pay the ransom itself.

Fine generosity, with taxpayers' money.

We count on you to catch the kidnappers at the moment of the exchange.

How does it look?

Well, the meeting is set

here. Here.

Tomorrow at 6 p.m.

The ambassador must appear alone with the money.

There he will receive new instructions.

Not easy to monitor.

They chose the place well.

It is the hour.

I see nothing.

We wait a bit more.

Go see.

Follow the indicated road until one stops you.

Do not try to warn.

You are being watched.

Stay natural and start.

Nothing on this side, commissioner.

Nothing, nothing.

Leave the money on the wood pile to your left.

Then reach the clearing at the end of the path and take the road on the right.

If the amount is there, a quarter hour later, Christina will join you.

You will alert all groups.

It is necessary to surround that sector.

And regrouping at point “D”.

Understood? Come on, move.

Good. Chevalier, you stay here.

Not a move or I shoot.

Where is the girl?

Come on, quickly.

At the slightest trouble, my accomplices will kill her.

He is bluffing. He has no accomplices.

We just swept the whole sector. There is nobody.

No accomplices and no girl either.

He is all alone.

Charles-Émile Kutz, called “the Bell”.

Three convictions for fraud.

This time you risk relegation, Charlie.

If you know something, I advise you to speak.

I swear to you, I know nothing at all.

It is by reading the newspapers that the idea came to me.

I just wanted to make some money.

100,000 bucks? A trifle, huh?

If I had asked less, nobody would have believed me.

You know people, Charlie.

You might perhaps still have a vague idea

of those who really did it, right?

Exactly, I inquired, you think!

Nobody in the circle knew. So I tried my luck.

Good, that's fine. You can take him away.

Well, what is happening to you?

Oh, nothing.

Mister the boss, Mister Ocana.

Jiu-jitsu, do you know it?

Small, he makes you hard and you are not dislocated. Anyway, I have nothing, huh.

You will gently return home and treat yourself.

Berthouin will replace you.

Berthouin? But it is a trifle, I tell you.

No, no, no way. You know the boss does not joke with that.

Tell me, this guy, did you get something out of him?

No. I do not think it comes from the circle.

It may be a romantic love story.

Oh, do not mix her into that, come on.

They have already imagined everything, eh, madam.

Love, revenge, politics, everything passes,

I tell you. One speaks only about that in the newspapers.

Yes.

They even speak too much about it.

You know them, right?

For a sensational article, they would write anything.

Yes.

Well, if they want sensational,

I will give it to them.

There. It was long ago. You know you are made

for a press agency, not for the brigades.

The press, sometimes, that has something good.

You say it! Massage and company, yes.

Lie for lie, let them serve us.

And I will take care of it personally.

Ask for the sensational newspaper!

Quick! The kidnapper of Christina Coulson acted with his accomplices.

Ask for the sensational newspaper!

A headless body found in the Somme would be that of the girl.

Ask for the newspaper… Thank you, madam.

Ask for the sensational newspaper!

Knut, the kidnapper of Christina Coulson… Thank you, sir.

Ask for the sensational newspaper!

Knut, the kidnapper of Christina Coulson acted with his accomplices.

A headless body found in the Somme…

What is that story?

Ah, that!

That is the most beautiful lie that the press has ever published. I am

well placed to know it. I am the one who gave them the info.

You? For what purpose?

To lull the mistrust of the real kidnapper and

make him believe that we follow a false track.

And after?

Start again from zero, but more discreetly.

And that story of the woman pulled from the river?

Completely invented for the cause.

Good day, Mister Ferre.

Good day, my boy.

What is that?

Look inside.

Where does that come from?

That, I give it to you in a thousand.

A guy found it, it seems.
