Blind Man (2012) - full transcript

Would you come in?
I don't trust it

Okay

- I'll look upstairs
- Thank you

- It's fine, there is no one.
- Please

No, thank you

10 seconds.

This had better be important
I'll be there in an hour

On the window, there is not splatter
but stripes...

and sort of abstract drawings,
made with the limbs of the victim.

There is Blood Type O+ on the ground,
the bar and the walls.

The victim was cut up at the bar
into fifteen pieces.



Her limbs were sawn into thirds
and she was decapitated.

It could have a meaning.
A 'signature' or a ritual.

Two glasses of white wine.

The second possibly from the killer.

- This is a crime scene, not a circus.
I want just my own people in here.

The others have 30 seconds to leave.

- Commander?
- Héloïse

- Simon, not now, please.
Wait. Thank you.

I'm listening, Héloïse.

There is not much to tell yet.

We're still picking up the pieces.

Yes...
of course

- The security camera in the hall?
- We have the recording, but it
hasn't worked for two days

- What day is it?
- Monday.



No, wait, now it's Tuesday.

- What's up there?
- It's the bedroom.

- The victim?
- Isabelle Royer, 33, unmarried,
and cultural advisor.

- Cultural advisor.
- It's important, culture.

Ah yes.

- Any signs of forced entry?
- None.

Vermulen is interrogating the neighbors.
Marchand and Briand are also on it.

We are checking fingerprints.

We'll find nothing.

- Why do you say that? You can expect
anything with psychopaths, right?

I don't know if he is a psychopath,
but he is surely a professional.

No forced entry, surveillence camera
broken 48 hours before the crime...

...before the week-end, to ensure it
cannot be repaired.

He planned his coup. He hid,
he waited and he killed.

Then he cut her into pieces.
He knew what he was doing.

He knew.

He must be very disturbed.

- And did not want this to go unnoticed.

- Tell everyone on the surveillence
cameras to get recordings for one month
preceding the crime.
- Yes.

- Where are you going?
- To have a shower. You want the details?

- How long?
- I worked for her for 10 days.

- How did she contact you?
- Directly.

Since I started driving, there was a
lot of work at the Ministry.

In the 10 days you knew Isabelle Royer,
did you notice anything you thought strange?

She was nervous. Very nervous.

- She kept trying to ring someone,
and it wasn't answered.

- Do you know who she rang?
- No, but it drove her crazy.

She insisted I examine her apartment
almost every night before she slept.

- She was afraid.
- What was she afraid of?

Her ex. I never met him.
- Warnas

- Matthieu Warnas?
- Do you know him?

- He's been hospitalized.
- Do you know the reason?

- No, not yet.
- Are you waiting for an invitation?

- And last night, you searched the apartment?

- Yes.

You're sure there was no one?

Think before answering.

You worked for a paranoid who wanted you
to check her room every night.

I understand that you can get
tired of it.

But if I find out that the killer
was at her place while you deny it

I will see that as a violation of
your professional duty.

Worse, as evidence of complicity.
Unless you change your statement.

- It was already late.
I realized I could not stay.

She was too eager for me to stay.
- How flattering.

- Nobody else had something to gain.
- I am not like that

- No, you only do your work
- If there was someone hidden, I never saw.

- I didn't have a chance to look.
- You just didn't look.

I'm sure Isabelle Royer would gladly
accept your excuses but she's been cut up.

- How so?
- In 15 pieces. With a saw.

- Would you like to see?

I've taken a deposition from the neighbor
on the third floor.

- The one who beat his wife.
- What does his wife say?

She says it was a year ago, and after
after two complaints over three months.

- I'll see her tomorrow
- Anything else?

- Nothing important, besides Warnas.
- Matthieu Warnas, photographer, painter, artist.

Well qualified, but that didn't
prevent two stints in jail.

It was a drug rap, nothing like this.
It doesn't make him a psychopath.

There is also the hospital evidence.

According to medical records,
he is paranoid and hallucinates.

- You are sure this is the address?
- Yes, but I have not called ahead.

- Why not?
- I don't know, for the surprise.

I don't like surprises.

Yes?

Hello Warnas, it's Lassalle.
Do you remember me?

- The cop?
- Good!

Your memory is not fried,
despite what you inhale.

I don't want to bother you but
I need to verify your address.

Are you at 10 rue Bouve?

The grey door?

Why are you asking this?

Because I need to ask a few questions.

We could do this by phone, but...

face to face is better, isn't it?

One to one?

Or we can go down to police headquarters.

Thursday or Friday?

Which is better?

No, the phone will be fine.

Do you know a certain Isabelle Royer?

You hesitate, mmm?
Answer my question

I wouldn't deny it
It would mean you're lying to me.

I already don't trust you,
and it'll make me come looking.

- Is that what you want?
- Wait, I haven't say anything yet

Well hurry up, I have
other things to do

- OK... I know her.

When was the last time you saw her?

Warnas, I'm talking to you!

- What do you want from me?
- Just answer me.

My job is to ask the questions
your job is to answer them

because you do not want problems

Answer me

When did you see her the last time?

I'm going to say nothing
because I want nothing to do with it.

Is that clear?

Don't worry.
It's because she is dead.

What are you doing?

Hey, listen to me

This way is cut off.

Don't move!

Go ahead and shoot!

- Nice place you've got here

Go ahead, shoot!
Who's not moving now?

You think you could come into
my business, just like this?

Héloïse, could you go outside
and wait please?

No, you stay here.
Stay and put your gun down.

Gun on the floor, I said!

Keep your weapon and
do as I say.

Say here! Come back!

Come back here,
you bitch!

I said come back!

- And close the door
- I told her to stay, that bitch!

What can we do.
This is the modern woman.

They have their own heads.

If you try anything, I'll
blow it.

Do you understand?

- Could you explain it because I'm tired
- None of this matters, he's a cop.

You sold me out!

Are you Narcotics?

I want to stay in this business!

I don't hear anything.
Is everything OK?

It's fine, Héloïse, it's fine.

Send your whore away from the door.
Or I'll blow everything!

First, she's not a whore.

She's a fantastic girl who
does her job. Repeat.

Repeat!

She's a fantastic girl who
does her job

Now listen to me well.

You will choose from
these two options:

The first: I fire a bullet in
your head,

take the grenade that will
explode in 7 seconds

and throw it out the window
into the courtyard

The second:
You open your hand and I take
the grenade

You'll have 7 seconds to get away
because today I'm in a good mood

and I do not care about your
fucking business.

Héloïse!

Take care of the moron!
You, keep this.

He's entering the factory.

She hired a bodyguard because
she was afraid.

She was brutally killed, Warnas

She was cut into pieces.
Not a pretty sight, ever.

Stop

Please stop.

We loved...
We sincerely loved..

At first you mourn all the time

But after a few weeks,
it will lessen. You'll see.

That is the worst of it.
After a time, you resign...

but you don't forget anything

It just gets easier, that's all

This is the problem: you're not
really sure you want the pain to leave

- It's complicated
- She was never afraid of me

If you say she was, it's because
she was afraid to tell the truth

- What is the truth?
- I don't know anything

It's true she was afraid, but
it had nothing to do with me

It was because of my job,
she told me

What exactly is your job?

Why should I be the only suspect?
She dated three men.

That's no reason to kill her.

- I didn't kill her!
- I didn't say you killed her

I said that there wasn't
sufficient reason to do it

You try to follow me but
we never get there.

Yeah keep talking like I'm crazy...

after my commitment to the
psychiatric hospital...

But you..

You never go crazy

At least once a day

And I have depression.
Can you imagine?

Life is fucked, no?

I cheated

They made me suffer

They told me, but I refused.
Then they followed me.

They took photos... of everything

I promise to tell the truth

Maybe it was one of those
bastards that did it

- Don't let him go, ok?
- I'm watching.

I didn't say to watch him, like
it's a joke.

- I should stay here.

That's it. Stay right beside him,
that's all

And don't let go?

Yes, don't let go.

Something to do,
go to Warnas' studio

Review all the photos and bring
those with Isabelle Royer

What about me?

What do I do with the grenade?

Find the pin

- Are you all right?
- Yes, very well

Hi Dad, it's me

Just wanted to comfirm
our dinner tomorrow

I think I'll bring Dominique

I hope you are well.
Kisses. Bye.

What are you doing there?

- Good day, sir
- Hello, Amelia

I'm minding my grandson this week
and so I cannot take care of Raoul

- Sorry
- Don't worry, leave it with me

- Have a good day
- You too, Amelia

Good day, Raoul

Oh, Raoul!
Shut up!

Send me that.

What did I tell you?
Get down from there.

Here or at home, it is the same.
Off the couch.

That is rude.

Pardon?

You turn, look at me, and sigh.

So I detect: "Shit, a blind man.
Have I left anything in the way?"

Is that not rude?

Adrien Narvik

Commander Philippe Lassalle.

I'm in charge with the investigation
into the death of Miss Royer

Maybe you should give up coffee,
Commander.

Sit

First, thank you for responding
to our summons and coming here.

I imagine that you have
other things to do

There are only a few questions.
It won't take long.

I have all the time in the world

Did you know the victim, Mr. Narvik?

I knew her piano better

I am tuner. It is my job.

Tuner

I'd rather be a virtuoso

We can't be both.

- Do you work for a company?
- I'm a craftsman

I work on my own.
I prefer the independence.

You don't like dogs

Are the blind required to like dogs?

I don't think I implied that, but this
is not very affectionate. It is rare.

No...

No, I don't like dogs

They mess on the sidewalks.
The blind don't appreciate that much.

Go on

Go, go

- It doesn't bother me
- It does bother me

Hey, go, go!
Get on the couch.

How many times did you go to
Miss Royer's?

One time only

- The 1st of September
- Maybe

I can verify that, if you want

Not necessary

That date appears in the images
of the building's security camera

Unfortunately it was sabotaged the
day before the crime

and we are missing recordings
for the last 24 hours

Can you help us?

One time I tuned the piano and
I had no reason to return.

Did you see anything that caught your
attention when you were with her?

I saw nothing. No.

I heard nothing, either.
I noticed nothing in particular.

Can you teach me to do that?

- What?
- That trick with the dog

I cannot get that knucklehead
to obey me

I could use some good advice

And it bothers you

Yes?

Excuse me

Warnas and his friend have filed
a complaint against you

Can you come?

I'm coming

I must leave

She likes you

Pardon?

The young woman who entered

Her movements... Her perfume...

She's looking for your attention

Let's limit the advice to the
dog next time

A colleague of mine will take
a statement from you

Don't be afraid to tell us everything you
felt during your visit...

... to Miss Royer's

I'll try my best

Thanks

Sorry, I missed the dog

If you are suspicious of my blindness
I can bring you my medical history

That won't be necessary

- Hello Dad
- Hello son

- Good evening.
- Dominique Goodnight

Choosing from wine and flowers we decided
on this bottle of Villa Florida

It's perfect

Thank you

- How are you?
- Not good

I thought that in a democracy

the police are here to protect us,
not to frighten us

Arrests at any time,
streets controlled arbitrarily

No, they don't have that right

Not to diffuse the debate, but...

I have nothing to do with those things
I work in the Criminal Brigade

I only investigate the identities
and affairs of murder suspects

- But mistakes happen!
- There aren't any in journalism?

It is not our fault if we relay false reports

You could verify before publishing, but
you create unbalanced views in order to sell it

- You are stereotyping a little, Dad.
- Oh, excuse me...

I thought it was a stereotype party

If you're smoking, I'd like a coffee

Me too, please

And the polls? Is it possible
that you care about the polls?

They're pretty accurate...

Not true. It is the press that says so.

They can find all
the culprits within 24 hours

Do you not think the police are
aggressive with the media you see?

They can do what they want.

- Calm down
- I am calm

- You're not here by yourself
- I love arguing with your father

- I see
- OK

I love you

I'd like to remind you of the value
of the bars at your disposal

The greens represents €5,000
the yellows €10,000

and the reds €50,000

Ladies and gentlemen, we will
move to the next batch

This time is a magnificent Bugatti

Atlantic

A very rare model

generously donated
by our host

Mr. Serguei Constantin

Leave it, I'll do it

Thanks for dinner,
and for your patience

He exaggerates a bit but
he's helped me

And it's not necessary to disagree
with him for being my friend

I don't mind him
being your companion

It's just that he's a little thick

- Anyway, I'm happy
- That is paramount

I would like you to be happy too

Don't worry about me

- You should take a vacation
- It's not a good time

It is never a good time for you

It bothers me that you all
worry about me

But get ready to have
Raoul for a few days

That is the same as a vacation

I would, but...

Dominique is allergic
to dog hair

That I cannot debate

With respect to this
"Work of art", as Jacques says

it is true that I have donated
it to the Association

but is the jewel of my collection

I like it enormously

and I assure you that I plan to
immediately be it's owner again

I hope, dear Jacques,

you have found
an opponent of my size

because I do not yield easily

We understand well

Know that we have several potential buyers
on the telephone

All right, let's go!

Ladies and gentlemen,
reserve price is 100,000 Euros

100,000 Euros!
- Yes sir, Good evening

Good evening, sir

- I'm calling about the Bugatti
- We start with 100,000

150,000

Mr. X, who wants to stay
anonymous, bids 150,000

Excuse me, we have Mr. X on the phone

who has bid 150,000

170,000?

170,000 in the room,
we're at 170,000

180,000?

180,000

230,000

230,000. Want to bid 250,000?
- Yes, I do

250,000

250,000

270,000

270,000

I bid again

300,000

300,000

300,000

300,000

450,000

Is at 450,000.
What do we do?

No, I'm sorry. I'm done

Thanks for bidding.
Declined.

Declined?
Without bidding?

For 450,000, won by
Mr. Serguei Constantin

You want to talk to him?
It will happen, do not hang up

Sorry sir, Mr. X
wants to congratulate you

Yes

Yes?

- Bravo, sir!
- Thanks

A beautiful duel

- It was almost ruined
- I should not have tried

But now, glory to the victor

However,
I want to ask a favor

Yes, I'm listening

I've had the pleasure of seeing it

May I also have the privilege of hearing it?

No gentleman would refuse

Give me a couple of seconds

Listen to this...

Commander

- There's nothing in there
- I know, wait with the dog

No. Keep it.

Raoul!

Does it make you dream?

No, not at all, but...

it does get me out of the routine

Where are we?

Serguei Constantin, host and
patron of the evening

He invited some rich friends to
raise funds for a partnership

The explosive was placed for
and had only one victim

The windows here just rattled.
It was a professional job

It seems that the killer called at
the end of the event, asking the victim

to get in and start the car

The blast was the grand finale
of the evening

He seems to have
sense of humor

That's the least that can
be said of him

It was an evening organized
against anti-personnel landmines

Ai, just so

Two murders in one week,
Nice gift

Yes, I'm on call

It is for me to not get bored

I'm suspicious of the sequence

Well, nothing in this one matches

Neither the "modus operandi"
or the personality of the victim

There is something in common

The killer likes
the spectacular

Could there be a link
between the two victims?

What?

- No, nothing, but...
- But what?

Do you really think the
two things are related?

We are here to find it

We found these microphones

There were everywhere

I think that put the killer
onto the auction

Were there no cameras?

No, only the security system

He just installed microphones

We did not get anything.
They are very nervous

And everyone knows
at least one minister

Take their identifications
and let them go

Thanks gentlemen,
you are free to go

But before you go
give me your IDs, please

What's up?

Do me a full search for me
on a certain Gabriel Narvik.

- The piano tuner?
- The blind one

Kicked out?

Don't worry.
I have something he'll like

Come in

Come in

Sorry, I should have knocked

It's nothing

With time I'm better

How long has it been?

Two years

Then you must learn to smile

I can give you some lessons if you want

What's in the folder?

Warnas' photos

I think will interest you

- He said he only saw her once
- Maybe he forgot

Yes. I'll refresh his memory

Want me to join you?

Do you need me?

No, thanks

I'm taking Raoul

Behave like an idiot
and send you to the kennel

Good day Commander

Good morning Mr. Narvik.
I'm not bothering you?

Can we talk?

Come in

Thank you

- Do you drink coffee?
- No, thanks

Do not tell me you've stopped

You did tell me to

Have you found the culprit yet, Commander?

No, that's why I'm here

I read your statement.
I confess that I was impressed

You have a great sense
for detail

Without sight, one pays
attention to other things

I think you can help me

You arouse my curiosity

Good day, the time
is 14:00

To best see the time we have left,

I hear it as it passes

Schwartzman, 11 rue Blanche.

Does that mean anything?

It is a specialist piano collection

- re you buying or selling?
- No

A friend bought one and I was
wondering if you knew them

Very good pieces

If your friend needs a tuner
feel free to give my phone number

Can you give me an hour,
Mr. Narvik?

I know, I should quit

I took seeing for granted before I lost sight

I imagine it's the same thing, with health

You stink, Raoul

Does your dog get wet?

It is not my dog, it was my wife's

My condolences

I did not say she died

The meaning was in your voice

In addition...

if she left, she
would have taken the dog

No?

She died two years ago
in a car accident

Were you driving?

Excuse me, forget my question

Please come

Is there a problem?

I do not like the smell of blood

Do you know where we are?

I'm blind, not an amnesiac

You said you came once

A piano of this quality needs to be
tuned regularly

I try to memorize
the location of things

I would not like to fall on
on this woman's floor

on my next visit

I am convinced that
the murderer knew this place

He had already been here

You could have crossed in
the hallway or the stairway

Maybe...

but no one told me
he was a killer

Do you remember anything in particular?

A phone call, a visit?

No

I think the killer...

was hiding in the closet
upstairs

He waited for the driver
to exit

He almost certainly killed her while
he was locking the door with the key

He grabbed a necklace from above

He must have...

Can I interrupt?
What is expected of me, Commander?

Why did you lie, Mr. Narvik?

Why did you say you only saw
Ms. Royer once?

I said I only came here once,
I never said I only saw her once

You are playing with words?

Or did you intentionally
forgot to mention it?

I had no time. I remind you
that we were interrupted

Do you invite all customers
a drink?

No

Only women I like

But I'm flattered Commander

To most people I look like
a cripple, but you...

you imagine me as a criminal

It's a promotion

At the same time, I confess
I don't see how you could do it

Because I'm blind?

This direction is a sufficient indication
of where the victim lay

Do not forget I know the location
of everything in this apartment

But I cannot not understand why
this young woman was killed

Ah, the principal point of all
cases. It's the motive.

No?

Constantin Serguei, he was
a client of yours?

That name does not tell me anything

But if I understand your question
correctly, that man must be dead

and should have a piano

A Schwartzman piano

Is that right?

Do you play?

Do you doubt?

I'd like to hear it

Without Raoul already?

That moron is sitting up in the seat
the car and didn't want to get out

What did you find on Narvik?

It wasn't he who tuned
Constantin's piano

It was an old Russian,
Natasha Korskova

Is that all?

Nothing remarkable

No record, no family...

The guy has no history

He went to a Catholic school

What's bothering you?

I do not know why or how, but
I'm sure it is him

He killed them both

Then let's try it

No Commander, come back in 10 minutes.
She can't see you right now

I've already lost 20 minutes because
of your idiot colleague

- I must speak with you
- Right now, I have no time

The same person killed both Royer
and Constantin, and I know who he is

Postpone my appointment by 15 minutes

Why did he risk seeing her?

To get her to talk and
to learn her customs

To copy the key

She was not suspicious of a blind man

Also he did not know that
he would be photographed

She is smiling, because he
is seducing her

It's not like that

Do you find him handsome?

Not bad. Yeah.

Do you have a motive?

Not yet

- Proof?
- Soon

- What do you have?
- A strong intuition

The "modus operandi" are different but
they have the same impact, as intended

Are you serious about this?

Yes

Remember that I am
expecting a perfect case

The victims worked
for the French government

We are 5 million employees.
Do you think he's going to kill us all?

Warnas thought Royer worked
for Military Intelligence.

She was paid via a shell company
in Luxembourg.

All her friends in photos
are foreigners, except Narvik

Constantin was also?
a secret agent?

No, but he has a furniture company
that supplies the French Army

The tables and chairs in all
the headquarters are his.

A prostitute, a seller of
furniture and a blind killer.

That's your hypothesis.

Let me inspect
Narvik's house.

So all the press can
make fun of us?

That's a good idea

Just what I need

I have a girl cut into pieces and
a millionaire shattered

Do you read the papers?

Constantin's death
must be a reckoning

Surely by a competitor

Regarding the girl
cut into pieces

You've arrested the boyfriend,
the prime suspect.

It's not him.

I believe him. He was paranoid
and was afraid.

You amaze me.

Looks like you hit the man
who was at his place.

He had a live grenade in his hand.

First you destroy his friend,
then one of you hits him

And now you tell me
he's innocent?

And now you bet on the blind?

Leave us two minutes, Héloïse

Does this mean I'm also blind?
In any case, I'm not

Is it because your wife was killed
with a car you think you can do this?

Are you thinking straight yet?

It is you who is here

Life is very unfair, but it's like that

You're going to see a doctor,
and not fuck me over

Do not end up unemployed
and miserable!

This is the last time I'll cover for you

Find yourself a woman, dammit!

- Want to get a drink or something?
- No, it's okay

I thank you for today, you were not
obliged to go with me to the head

This is the first time that
you have given me a compliment

I appreciate it that
you are on my side

I'm always on your side

Good night, Héloïse

Good night

Yes?

Sorry to bother you.
Did I wake you?

No, I'm just having a big
conversation with Raoul

I had dinner with a colleague in
Intelligence. New develoments.

- Want to see it or should I wait until tomorrow?
- No, it's okay

For customers we are always open

I'll arrive within 5 minutes

It will be better in here, right?

Come

It is difficult to do it out there

Want me to help you?

As you wish

If not for those, I'd
say you're a soldier

I'll make you feel good

I don't doubt it

This is not the best time to
walk your dog

I tried to give it to my
son, but no luck

I'll take him if you want.

For a few days.

And if it feels strange, you
could always go see him.

Is this for me or for Raoul?

For you

- For you to talk
- I'm listening

Military intelligence have
a file on Isabelle Royer

She was observed when watching
Hussein Haqqani

The Niassim chief

Pakistan's Secret Service

He met her in his two
recent trips to France

They wanted to stop her, but
MoD intervened

The message was clear: "Do not touch"

But that's not all.

Constantin.

He was in
arms trafficking.

It seems that the Army used him
for sales that were delicate.

Good job.

Which one of us is getting more
accustomed to the compliments?

Has he already been asked how he felt?

Who?

Narvik.

He must guess,

interpret,

create images.

I hear a car pass ...

is a diesel

Raoul growling...

The hum of a streetlight...

But I don't know what
the color of the car is

I don't know who my dog ​​growls at

and I cannot see what's on
the wall illuminated by the lantern

I'm in the dark...

alone

You have moved

Is it a threat?

I feel ...

I hear breathing ...

I don't know what
want from me

You are...

The real question is why he kills.

Do you think Narvik's mind is handicapped?

No, there is another thing.

It's like he was sure to have a reason

You must check his background.
Every detail of his life.

Something we missed

Don't stay there,
grab hold of the case

Go

As you order

You're leaving already?
You paid for the night.

I have an appointment.

Who was the idiot who
moved this gate!

- It is here
- Thanks

What are you doing?
What's this?

Get me out of this!

Excuse me.

Yes?

Sorry to bother you, but
there's something that will interest you.

Héloïse, I'll call you later, .

There was another murder.

Morin was on duty and they
called me for reinforcement.

Do it not seem like they
have enough already?

Leave that to Morin and
focus on your case.

We want to see one thing,
to convince Rochambeaud

and not appear confused about Narvik,
at least to Madame de Defense.

Precisely

The guy who taps his stick on the ground
killed a man with a Paratrooper tattoo

Surely an ex-military

He was massacred

He was disfigured.
It was to draw attention

There is another thing

He had a diamond in his ear

He emptied his pockets
but he had not removed it

- As if it had not been seen
- Thanks

The best for last:
Warnas was released

Two witnesses confirmed he was with students
photographing that night, not at Royer's

- He was right
- I'll call you

- Good morning sister
- Good morning, Commander

Look, it's him

Gabriel is the small Narvik.

Do you happen to remember him?

I try to remember everyone

But one remembers some more
than the others

Gabriel was a good boy

Passionate about aviation

He dreamed of being a fighter pilot

And did so

- Are you sure?
- Ah, yes

When he crashed, I went to his funeral

We should never
bury our students

We are witholding the identity
of the one murdered last night

- Who is it?
- Louis Sorbier

A former paratrooper

Apparently he was a mercenary

He remains military

Tighten your contact at
Intelligence.

But if you can soften him up
let him spill everything he knows

It seems Warnas has
been exonerated

You want me to apologize?

The real Gabriel Narvik
died in a plane crash

He lied about his identity

He killed Isabelle Royer,
Serguei Constantin and also

a mercenary, last night
in an alley

Three different "modus operandi",
not connected crimes,

but all the victims had
a link with the Army

I don't know exactly how it happens
but it is a cleaning operation

I don't think it will stop

His name is Andre.
A War orphan.

Soldier from age 18
marksman,

frogman,

15 years in Special Operations
and decorated 8 times

He was wounded four years ago
in Afghanistan

That's how he lost his sight.

The Ministry of Defense
gave him a new identity,

that of a dead soldier,
Gabriel Narvik

The Ministry of the Interior
closed his file.

He stated that heroes
are not murderers.

Since when do you not share
your information?

For two hours

I received clear orders,
and even insults. It's top secret.

You have to fix a leak

When you have the press
you can no longer hide

Nice, but I'm the Director

because you've never closed gates

If I knew how to close gates
I would ba a gamekeeper

Maybe it's not too late

Meanwhile here is
what to do

If you try anything
you'll come out crushed

- You used to be more combative
- More of an idiot too

Do not be a hero, Philippe.
They'll demolish you.

Object: the mission, no link

Hussein Haqqani will be
in Paris tonight

The operation is confirmed

Should you have more
problems with the police

Necessary arrangements have been made
Dot, dot, dot

Should problems persist
Cmdr. Lassalle

is to be considered
an obstacle to the mission

You are authorized to
treat him as such

Raoul!
Look

Look what this guy brought you

It's good, right?

Thank you

Well. It's just three days but...

if watching him will help
you function...

I thought Dominique was allergic

He makes an effort,
like everyone else

Yes...

like everyone else

I'm wondering

Do you know where the photo
albums are?

I want to show them to Dominique

Your mother kept them in
the bedroom closet

...is clearly a French
transport helicopter

performing evasive maneuvers
before being reached...

I wonder how the Taliban
can get these missiles

I wonder how we can
enforce these things

Dominique says on the Internet,
there are missiles, the French say.

...is the 4th French helicopter
demolished in two weeks

You can not save
these seals, Dad.

...more than several
sources indicate that

anti-aircraft missiles
short-range

that were made in France

They do not know how they got
at the hands of the insurgents

"You have a new message"

Lassalle? It's Warnas,
I must talk to you

I know how to catch the bastard

But this time come alone.
You have one hour.

It's Lassalle

I got your message,
I'm on my way.

Don't do anything stupid
before I get there.

Do you hear me Warnas?
I'm coming.

Shit!

Warnas?

Good evening, Commander

I'm glad you accepted
my invitation

He did not want to call you.
I had to insist.

People should control their
impulses, Commander

They are too predictable

This isn't spectacular
enough for you

Do I have a reservation to
be cut into pieces too?

- Are you disappointed?
- About what?

To still be alive

We have that in common,
Commander

We both thought that the
other should be dead.

Guilt,
loneliness...

I know how you feel

I lost enough companions to
know what it is to just survive

You know the rest

Why are you doing this?

I keep doing what I did before
my accident, I serve my country

Killing civilians?

It is likely they were connected
with terrorist networks

You are either a remarkable
liar or very naïve

I have a few flaws
but lying isn't one of them

Wake up, Narvik

You removed a middle man,
a businessman, and a mercenary

All you've done is eliminate
the witnesses of arms trafficking

You think you're a soldier but...

you've become a killer
who works for arms dealers

You'd say anything
to save your life

Not my life, it is to save the killer

Your sudden kindness touches me,
Commander

But for now

letting you go runs the risk of
me be charged with murder,

rather than you.
Isn't that right?

This is your weapon, no?

Narvik forced Warnas to
call me to his place

He killed him and waited

- I don't understand
- I'm not surprised

Lassalle

You're not in a position
to be smart, OK?

Yes sir

For now I'm just trying to understand

and what I do not understand

is how a blind man could have
killed the victim with your gun

before you arrived

He must have taken it from my car.
I leave it in the glove compartment.

That's right

First, you lose your service revolver

then you meet with a criminal witness
for an investigation that is not yours

without even notifying
a colleague

Isn't this report
a little suspicious?

Sorry for the delay

My mother was hospitalized and I
left the hospital when I saw the message

Please sit Lieutenant

I'll tell you
how I see things

Warnas calls you

he attacks, you fight

and a shot escapes

Come on, François!
We're wasting time.

Do you think me so stupid?

In your place, I would
argue it was an accident

The self-defense plea

Narvik did not work alone.
I think he was manipulated.

Now he's a victim!

He set a trap because
I bothered him.

It you bothered him so much,
why didn't he kill you?

I don't know...

I think he appreciated me.

That's it!

A blind killer and
a fucking lover

Shit, Lassalle!
Relax!

You sit there or
I lock you up!

Is that understood?

Sorry, I missed

I read your file

You seem to have trouble recovering
from the death of your wife.

Your superiors speak of derangement.
A depressive state.

A tendency toward violence,

perhaps suicidal.

That's right.

I concocted this whole thing just
to commit suicide in jail.

No...

I think of it as an interrogation
that ends badly.

Leo reported that broke you
broke the nose a witness before

threatening to
explode a grenade

It is similar to what
just happened

Losing control is normal,
you can't stop, right?

Tell me...

I wonder...

what is happening up here

And I'd like to know
who is giving you orders

- Who are you obeying
- No one, the law

Look at me when I speak

Is it the Ministry of Defence
that is giving the orders?

This is over

Commander Lassalle will be suspended,
for now, pending investigation

I am against suspensions

Commander Lassalle is to remain in
police custody. Effective immediately.

We have 3 unsolved murders,
Commissioner.

If Cmdr. Lassalle is detained,
I must hand over case files

meaning the investigation
is closed

which is something that supports
the Commander's theory

I'll give you one hour to
prepare your reports

- But in his office and under surveillance
- OK

We are on the 5th floor, we're
not going to jump out the window

I have orders

We're in Criminal Offenses.

If we get angry, a history
for either of you can appear

It's up to you

Is that what you want?

OK, we'll wait here

There's a coffee machine

Héloïse!

I waited a lifetime for that

Since you don't even know if
I've had spouses or not,

I'm taking advantage

My contact in Intelligence says
Sorbier has nothing on you

He's just a guard dog

But he told me Hussein Haqqani
of the Pakistani secret service

is back in Paris. But not
to see Isabelle Royer.

He comes to explain the origin
of the Taliban's missiles

He's Isabelle Royer's contact
with the buyer

Maybe the next target of Narvik.
Your friend could locate him.

You talk to him. If you find something
say that you'll call me.

Why?

Because he has been
a little bold and ...

And he bothers you.

He's too young for me.

We're both going to
have to speak.

Excuse me?

Can you help me?

On your knees

On your knees!

Put them on.

You also Héloïse.

Narvik!

Narvik, are you here?

Objective: Mission, no link.

Hussein Haqqani will be in
Paris tonight

The operation is confirmed.

You should not have more
problems with the police.

Necessary arrangements have been made
Dot, dot, dot.

Should problems persist,
Cmdr. Lassalle

is to be considered
an obstacle to the missio

You are authorized to
treat him as such

Good evening, General.
Thank you.

Captain, over here please.
Care.

Okay, there's no problem.
This way, please.

Thank you

Good evening. Can I help
you to get to the bar?

That is appreciated

- Here it is
- Thank you

Lassalle has to be removed

It is not necessary.
He's been neutralized.

Not necessary? You have your orders!

He's just escaped

Where is Lassalle?

I'll ask one last time.
Where did he go?

I will expell you if you don't
help me to find him

Come in

Excuse the interruption
Commissioner

- Héloïse's mother is on the line
- She'll call her back

You must call the hospital.
It seems urgent.

Forward it here

Are you deaf?
I said to forward the call here.

Hello, Mom?

I know where Narvik is

I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm busy.

I'm in a meeting

A meeting with the idiot?

That's it, yes

Quiet down Mom, then I'll come

Haqqani is attending a conference
at the Middle East Institute

on the military situation
in Afghanistan

Narvik will surely be there

I called but...

security did not believe me

We should try through
the police channel

Héloïse? I need you.

Me too, Mom.
I'll try.

Yes, yes... I'm coming

No, do not come

If sirens are blaring it
will end in a bloodbath

I have another plan.
Listen to me.

I do what I can, Mom.
I'm not the only one who decides.

If I could, I'd be there now

Mom... do not cry

Please do not cry

I will come when I can

Go Héloïse, finish this later

I want to know where you are

She's going to see her mother

What if she escapes?

You're starting to annoy me, Cossiga

It is reciprocated

I must go take my place

Can I take advantage by having
you escort me to my chair?

I don't believe that
would be a good idea

Let me insist... Colonel

What is wrong?

Who were the targets?

Pardon?

I'm told the targets were outside
the terrorist networks.

What were your goals?

- Why these questions?
- What were your goals?

What are you implying?

- Have I ever lied to you?
- No, Colonel

I wanted to give you the opportunity
to test what remains of a soldier

Do not make me regret it

I need to know if I can
still trust you

Yes... Colonel

Police

Thank you

My dear friends

first thanks for honoring me
with your presence

I will be brief

but it is necessary that I
definitely dispel, I hope,

an unfortunate ambiguity
about the origin of certain weapons

I'd appreciate your seat.

Recall beforehand

that the NATO forces chief

Good evening, Commander

announced that the coalition
of International...

Let's finish the game

an offensive in Afghanistan

I will stand slowly
and you will follow me

You should put away your weapon

Don't make me call security

I'd advise against it. It is not
me who is hunted by the police

It is you

Also, I would like that
there be no victims...

needlessly.

the withdrawal of
American troops

which is actually...

camouflaged attacks
against our country

Likewise to that
American warning...

Don't do it

You're worth more than that

700 euros per month
is what I'm worth

It's my disabled adult allowance

It is my worth to society

There is no need to kill Haqqani
to prove you're worth something

Stop your psychological
counselling, Commander

I have a mission
and I will comply

Mission? You call this a mission?

There were 5 French soldiers shot
down in a helicopter in Afghanistan

It was a French missile that killed them

I think that missile was
sold by your friends

That's what they want
to keep secret

You are erasing the traces
of their greedy tricks

You work for those who killed
those French soldiers

- Your brothers in arms
- I do not believe you

You were chosen because you're
the ideal culprit

"Soldier wounded in the head
wants revenge"

When you're finished with Haqqani
they will gun you down

Why do you say that?

There are two snipers
stationed at the front

We are in their sights

Then it will be my last mission

Don't give them that pleasure
I beg you

Narvik!

You're lost. You cannot escape,
you will be killed.

I can help you, Narvik

I've holstered weapon

Narvik!

Do not try to stop me, Commander

It is a political issue
which surpasses you

And me too

Let's go

Kill me if you want

I think we have more in common
than we want to admit, Commander

Maybe

Let's go

Yes, Héloïse

Where are you?

Thanks

Shit!

Watch out!

Where are we going now?

Now we're going to finish
this mission with dignity

Give me your weapons, quickly

All your weapons.
And the clips too.

Do it!

How could you do this?

He could you be
one of those soldiers

It was an accident

Selling arms to the enemy
not an accident

It is a betrayal

Give me a key.
Don't you have a key?

Everything is in the glovebox.

Nothing.

These weapons were sold to
Pakistanis

They were never to cross
the Afghan border

The Pakistanis were the
ones who screwed up

Its secret services are
infiltrated by the Taliban

You lied to me

As you did me

Be right back

I did remove your accomplices

Behind you!

Five bullets

One for each comrade who you betrayed

I served almost 10 years under the
orders of this peice of garbage

Yes

but now it's over

Give me your gun

What will I do while I'm in prison?

We will find a good lawyer

I'll tell the truth,
that you were manipulated

They'll listen

I am a soldier,
there is nothing to tell

You owe nothing
and won't be abandoned

You just say that to comfort me

I know what you intend to do

But I will not shoot

Look on the bright side of things

You're finally going to know...

if you really want to join your wife...

and in a few seconds,
you'll either be pleased...

or realize that you want to live

and must demonstrate it by
preventing me from firing

In one way or another
I do you a favor

But now...

perhaps you should consider
the girl outside

She smells so good

And who risks her career
to save you

You decide Commander

We are not required
to shoot

There are not many people in which
I can continue to trust, Commander

I would appreciate it if you
did not disappoint

Are you okay?

You got the keys?

Thank you

- You have to see a doctor
- Okay, it's nothing

But I cannot drive, we must
find someone to take me

Let's see who we can find

Hello Héloïse

Is your Mom doing better?

Don't lie to me any more

Want to go looking for Raoul?

No

No more of that dog

If you want me to take him...

If you want to, but...

He eats a lot

I don't care

You're not afraid of anything

Now are we on personal terms?
