Law Breakers (Les Assassins de l'ordre)

Slept well?

Get dressed!

- Why? - It's cold outside.

What has he done?

He didn't tell you?

What a naughty boy!

Tell her...

I don't know what they want, Genevieve.

He isn't awake yet!

Hurry up!

That's it...now your shoes.

What do you want from me? I retired a long time ago.

There's a reason if we come here at 8:00 am.

- We'd like to sleep too. - Mummy... Mummy...

You're ready!

Take a coat, it's cold outside.

You forgot something, Sogeat.

- Your cufflinks! - You're crazy!

Bye Mrs. Sogeat. Sorry for disturbing you.

You've done it again, Sogeat? Couldn't you keep quiet?

- He doesn't know why he's here. - Really?

I'm not impressed. You've made no progress since last time.

- You left prints on the desk. - What desk?

- That's enough now! - Loubet Garage is where you work.

There's a safe behind the desk. It was cracked on Sunday.

Like the one from Bandin five years ago. You still...

...use the same method! - I don't see the connection.

- Where were you on Sunday? - Mind your own business.

- You're getting on my nerves! - Where were you?

- At the garage. - We know that!

- I had an engine to finish. - And a safe to open?

What's all that shit? I didn't go to the office.

What about the fingerprints?

Is there a date with them? I touch that desk every day.

- He's making fun of us! - Enough now! Don't touch me!

That's enough now! Enough!

Very well...

LAWBREAKERS

Merry Christmas

Good morning, Moulard.

Good morning, your Honor.

You seem happy today.

If I didn't have a vacation coming in six days...

...I'd go out of my mind!

But what do you know? You're always cheerful.

Did you summon the witnesses in the drugstore case?

For the day after tomorrow.

Talking of vacations, President Duverger would like to see you.

- Is he in a hurry? - I think it's urgent!

- You know what he wants? - No. And you?

Maybe we both know!

The widow filed a complaint...

She's waiting next door...

As a Christmas gift, I'd rather have a box of cigars but...

- Anyway, you've been chosen. - But, President, such a case...

...should go to the dean. - Regnard is awkward and stubborn.

We thought about Dumar but he's a lamb howling with the wolves.

We need someone who can twist the knife but...

...bend to our will, understand?

You want a wolf who bleats with the lambs.

- Specifically when the lambs are... - Pigs!

Honest scrupulous workers who live to serve the public.

They are our best allies.

Can we see the widow?

If you want.

Who do you want for the autopsy?

- Dr. Sabatier. - Wouldn't you prefer...

- Dr. Sabatier. - Well...all right.

They killed him, sir, they killed him...

They took him at 8 am, at noon they brought a corpse back.

Conduct an inquiry.

Judge Level has been assigned.

What a clot of blood!

Brain damage with internal bleeding.

Now the inner ear...

Right side broken...

Carotid broken too...

That's a mess!

I've seen enough.

Have it ready for tomorrow.

Ready for the trash can!

Mine...not yours of course!

You buy the good stuff and give me the rotten ones!

- Just rent a pair. - Why don't I rent a fishing rod?

- I won't break my leg! - We'll have time to talk...

We'll leave in a week if we are going...

What do you mean by that?

You are going, but me...

- You're not going to do that? - You think I want to?

When will you know?

In three minutes exactly.

No, I was waiting for your call.

Brain trauma...

Tell me the truth, doctor...

They beat the shit out of him?

You have no doubt. Thanks.

Send it first thing tomorrow.

Is he the guy who died at the police station?

You're handling the case?

That's great!

That's your opinion.

You don't have to tell your friends what's happening here.

- I don't want students in my way. - They all talk about it now!

I hope you'll hang those pigs!

Next time I need advice, I'll ask you...OK?

They'll tell you lies.

They'll tell you the guy hit his brain killing a mosquito!

- If you believe them... - That's enough!

A smartass like you isn't going to teach me my job!

I'm sorry.

I'd like you to understand.

This type of case...

is the worst thing...

that can happen to a judge.

I'm not joking.

I'm sure you'll be perfect.

Thank you.

Take my skis. It's a gift.

We weren't that gentle. But hitting him...

I wouldn't compromise a career hitting a suspect.

You admit you didn't have too much against him.

Except he confessed to an identical crime five years ago.

- But this time he denied it. - You know they always do...

- We're in the same type of job. - We don't have the same methods.

Let's say they go together. We cops clean up the shit.

I've never seen a judge unhappy to get a confession.

- Let's go back to Sogeat. - I know he is still guilty.

That's not the question, he is dead now.

We want to know how he died, and you know the answer.

These autopsy reports are all greek to me.

- To you we're in the same bag? - Yes, we have the same enemies.

Those who might use this case to attack the system.

It's a tough game to play.

I'd sooner be in my shoes than yours.

- To be frank, so would I. - We both agree!

Your deposition.

- Won't you read it? - I trust you...

...completely.

- I want to see where it happened. - Anytime you want...

My police station is at your disposal.

Come in, please.

Sit down.

Edward Radu, married, 4 kids, 42 years old, 15 years in the ranks.

Military honors, 4 times in Indochina and Algeria, your Honor.

I suppose I should congratulate you. But it...

...tells me that you should be quite used to violence.

Me, violent!

Excuse me.

Didn't you shake Sogeat up a bit?

We didn't touch one hair on his head. Word of honor!

And with us, honor still means something.

Good.

Just sign.

Is it all right?

For Pete's sake!

They think we're idiots.

- What do you think? - I never think.

Just a thin wall separates us from the main office.

If he had been hit someone would have heard him.

I mean the guard: La Tuile.

He was on duty December 18 and those two birds...

I brought them back to answer your questions.

So except the guard, and...

Vericel, a burglar, and Beauvoisin, a bum...

- There was nobody else here? - Nobody.

Perfect.

I didn't hear a thing and I have a good ear.

How did you know my question? How do you know who I am?

And you?

I was asleep. I always sleep in jail.

What else can you do?

I'd like to see them at my office.

Why not mine?

We can do it right now. It's best for everyone.

- Who do you want first? - Your choice.

I know your name. - This isn't your first time?

Once you've done one bad thing...

...they'll take you in for anything.

- How can we get out of it? - So...

- The police hassled you? - You can say that again!

But judges can be worse...

...it's they who set sentences.

I advise you to tell the truth...

Or you'll be sorry when I see you in court!

The interrogation went from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm...

Did you hear anything? Yes or no?

- In a police station... - Yes or no?

- Well...yes. - Write!

- You've heard screams. - Well...more like loud voices.

But if you want to call that screams, I don't mind.

- Any groans? - Even with a good ear...

Now that I think of it... I've heard a chair being...

...dragged across the floor.

When they brought Sogeat back to his cell, you were there?

- Yes, your Honor. - How was he?

He was not laughing but he was all right.

- You've been grilled before? - More than my share!

- How was it? - With me it's different.

I plead guilty right away so they can't do a thing.

- Anyway, I don't know how to lie. - I can see that.
