Guardian Angels (Les anges gardiens) (Les Anges gardiens)

Don't worry, son. Tomorrow we'll be rich and safe in Paris!

Watch Bao.

You won't escape.

No one steals money from the Chinese mafia.

Passports and tickets?

Here's your money.

Bernard Ciccolini? Are you crazy? My son's half Chinese!

I stole it from a Corsican.

You're lucky. He could have been named

Napoleon.

You're a dead man.

Hide Bao.

Keep Bao.

Meet me at the junket.

Two empty tables?

No reservations after 10:30. Fill 'em up!

No empty tables at Carco's!

Fill her up, Dédé.

GUARDIAN ANGELS

The no-shows just showed up.

It's a senator. He got stuck in traffic.

Seat him at the bar with champagne on the house.

Keep it snappy tonight.

- Hey girls. - Hi, Mr Carco.

Show your legs, Chook Chook.

They're gorgeous.

Remember to make eye contact!

You know the rule, Electra.

No funny stuff with customers.

A customer? He's a cousin from the South.

Antoine Carco's no moron!

Next time you're fired. And this is bad for your skin.

Regina won't go on.

What is it, baby?

Fire Chook Chook Nugget. It's her or me!

What now?

She's hitting on everyone, including you!

She bad-mouths me.

She wants to take my place.

- Regina Podium, 2 minutes. - No way, Lucky!

Baby, it's a full house!

A senator came just to hear you sing.

Straight from Hicksville!

I'll go cause I'm a pro. But if ever I hear any gossip

about you and Chook Chook, I'll rip your eyes out!

Break a leg, mon love.

Artists...

Good thing I'm level-headed.

Italia is winning 4 to 0.

Let me take care of this.

Can't you take care of your Regina instead?

Stop complaining.

Next week, Electra's replacing you. We'll go to Bermuda.

Antoine Merignac?

Who is this?

Ivan, pussycat.

Ivan Radmilo. Sticky Fingers.

- You remember! - Sticky?

I'm in Hong Kong. I need you.

I'm sick as hell.

What's wrong, pussycat?

Terminal cancer.

I'm stuck in the hospital.

That's awful.

I'll say!

Your sister said you made it big.

I screwed up bad.

Except for my kid.

He's Chinese. Real cute.

Soon he'll be an orphan,

hounded by thugs. Come get him.

You pop up out of nowhere after fifteen years!

"Merignac" is history.

My name's Carco now.

- I saved your life! - I know.

But I've changed. I'm a big shot.

I've gone legit.

I saved your life in Rangoon.

I blew up the courtroom. You forget fast.

I don't, pussycat.

I have a new life now.

He's on a junket. Here's the address.

You're being pushy.

His name's Bao.

I gave you a nickname.

Only he knows it.

What is it?

Oh, that's cute. Real cute.

He's just a kid.

He has a message for you.

I hid 15 million dollars for him. 20% for you.

A good sum.

How did you get it?

Find the kid's mother.

She's Chinese. Lily Wong.

She lives in Brussels with a painter.

Hold on, pussycat.

Keep me out of your love life.

Swear you'll come, Antoine.

I swear, pussycat...

You're my only hope.

You're breaking my heart...

Did you get a second opinion?

You'll keep your kid, pussycat.

You have to keep faith, pussycat!

Who is "pussycat"?

You won't believe me.

An old pal. It's been 20 years.

I don't believe you.

A splash.

Just a small glass.

- Mother Angelina? - Father Noze...

You called?

Let me tell you

how grateful the kids and I are.

The Sisters and you have filled their hearts with joy.

It's the Lord who guides us.

I have a favor to ask you.

You're still leaving tomorrow?

I'm retiring next year.

That means 40 years of archives to take back.

Heavens!

Could you take just a quarter of them?

The kids and I will share the load gleefully.

It's here.

A quarter of this?

No, this is it.

The rest is next door.

In addition...

I'd like you to take these trunks to the bishop.

It's our accounts for the past 20 years.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Marvelous!

Just a drop.

You speak Chinese?

I get by.

Sandrine, this man speaks Chinese!

Can you say "How do you do?"

Of course...

Careful with the tones. One word can mean tons of things.

Jerome, Rachid, and I will help the boat people.

Why us?

The rest of you can go swimming.

Beware of sharks!

It's always us. It's not fair.

If helping hungry refugees is unfair, don't come.

I'll do it alone with 80-year-old Mother Angelina.

Then things will be fairer.

- Okay, Padre. - Don't say "Padre"!

Sorry. The slop slipped.

Does it hurt?

It's excruciating!

I'm mortified, Mother.

It sticks like shit, Father!

Rachid, be polite!

Stop clowning around! Try harder!

- Congratulations. - It was an accident.

All over my socks.

Look at the splendid steel bird skimming the skyscrapers.

Super!

Super-duper!

How do you do?

No, I said...

He's dumb!

This is a first.

I learned Chinese 20 years ago.

I'm surprised you don't understand.

The morgue? Already?

Murdered?

He was killed?

This is too much!

Don't take me for a jerk!

He's almost a baby.

His mother... I don't know where she is!

I'm your Dad's buddy. I came to help you.

- What's your name? - Antoine Carco.

Wrong! I won't talk to you.

The nickname!

Hook. Captain Hook.

Bank of Shanghai. The key.

Take me to Mommy.

I can't.

Mr Mo's gang!

Climb up!

Hurry up!

There!

Is this a boarding school?

- Listen, Bao. - I want Mommy.

Bad gangsters are after us.

We can't cross the border together.

I want to find Mommy.

Sure.

First I'll get your money.

I'll make a short trip to Geneva, then come get you.

Meanwhile, you'll stay with the nice nuns.

I want Mommy.

Cut it out. We've got no choice.

Can I see the director?

Jerome!

What are those disgusting dried frogs for?
