Spiral (2005–…): Season 5, Episode 11 - Episode #5.11 - full transcript

Following the attack on Kimberly, the noose tightens around the criminal activities of Karen's girl gang. But as it closes in, they strike again.

Why the hell are you here?

- Hi, Mum
- What do you want?

I got Lili a birthday present

Lili doesn't want your presents.
You're nothing to her, you know that

She doesn't need a sister like you

Leave us alone

SERIES CREATED BY ALEXANDRA CLERT

Knock first!
I nearly smashed your face in

- Did you see your mum?
- No

She wasn't there. OK?

Besides, she'd never
give me money



- What's that?
- Nothing

She would have thrown it
back in your face, anyway

So, what do we do?

Go see Nadia
and ask for your money

And what do we do with 800 euros?
Open a Swiss bank account?

If you have a better idea, go ahead

Come on, 800 euros isn't bad

it's better than nothing

We wouldn't be here if you hadn't
set those fucking dogs on Kim

We couldn't let her
hand us in to the police

Kim isn't one of us anymore

Go and get the 800 euros
off Nadia...

and I'll try and find enough
money to get us out of here

We've made it this far, haven't we?



So, we'll stick together.
Right, Fatou?

OK

Madam?

She very nearly died

Why would they do that?

Who are "they"?

It was that gang of girls

They're not even girls -
they're savages

Do you know their names?

What are their names?

Fatou, France...

Karen

I can't believe they would do this

They should be locked up

- We'll search Karen Hoarau's flat
- OK

Laure

- Yeah?
- These belong to the dad

Apparently he's in hospital. Cancer

Find out where.
We'll check them back at the office

Got it

- JP?
- Yeah?

- Same as Kimberly's?
- Yeah, the same

Laure

Here

it was taken at the Jaulins' house.
Look at the wall

- It's Karen with Sandrine's kids
- She said they lost touch

She was lying

One of the medicines we found
was zopiclone

It's the same drug
that was in Lucie's system

It's a fairly common compound,
but I doubt it's a coincidence

- Did you find out about Karen's dad?
- Yeah. He has a brain tumour

- He's a vegetable
- And the mother?

She started a new life
while Karen was in jail

She's cut her off

if her dad is about to snuff it,
maybe Karen will go to see him

I'll put someone outside his room

So, we have...

a father...

two crooks...

and four girls

That's a lot of suspects

No. We're on the right track
with the girls

We've identified the other two

France Daoudi and Fatouma Diakhaté

The station at Bobigny
said they would keep an eye out

Sorry. We're ready when you are

- Ready for what?
- The party, for when Gilou gets back

- Is he here?
- No, not yet

Yeah?

OK, on my way

Aren't you staying?

You're almost there

Call me if there's any news

Not seeing your mates?

No, I don't feel like it

Don't worry, I'm all right

I'm the boss, I'll worry if I like

Can I have a whisky
and some nuts, please?

I wanted to thank you

Forget it, Escoffier

The Commissioner.
the disciplinary body...

they know sod all about policing

They're not out there, you are

But I know you stuck your neck out...

and that they'll
make you pay for it

I was heading for the scrapheap,
anyway

They won't believe it when they hear
where I'm being transferred

- Where?
- Seine-Saint-Denis

it's the Wild West out there.
They can't turn me down

You're leaving?

At the end of this week

But that's between you and me

I'd better go and sign the forms

- Go and see your mates
- Yeah

No...

Thanks

Do you believe Karlsson
will get us Ziani?

Yes

Does she know he'll go to prison
for violating judicial supervision?

Of course she knows.
That's part of the deal

She brings us Ziani,
and we unfreeze his accounts

Once he's locked up,
we can keep him in check...

and continue
our inquiry against him

Come in

André...

may I introduce Carole Mendy?

We're working together
on this accursed case

André is the magistrate
who will decide...

Ziani's custody status

My mind is already made up.
I'm with you all the way

You made a deal with the judge,
without asking me?

A deal that will get you
the money you need...

to sign the contract with France

Yes, but if I'm in prison,
how can I sign it?

Why can't someone else sign it?

Why can't someone else go to prison?

That's not how it works
in France, Tarek

In France, nothing makes any sense

You whine about unemployment,
so I let you invest in my country...

then your judges
won't let me get on with my job

The judges don't care about your job

They're only withholding
your money...

because it will get you
to come back to them

The question is,
which do you value more...

your freedom or your money?

Both

For once, you'll have to choose

He has to show up. He's under pressure

And if it all goes to plan...

what happens to me?

- What do you mean?
- I mean my future with the firm

Do you want to stay?

I need to work or I'll fall apart

No more pissing about.
I want that 800, and I want it now

I looked everywhere,
but I couldn't find you

You'd better cough up

Or should I beat it out of you?

Stop!

Police!

Don't move

Don't fucking touch me, you bastard

- Don't move
- Let me go

Calm down. Get in

- All right?
- Yeah

Come on

Yeah. That's me

Great. When was that?

Wait. Hold on a second

It's Bobigny.
They've got France Daoudi

You're kidding!

Tell them to let her go

She'll lead us to Karen Hoarau

Can you hold onto her
until we get there?

Good to see you

- All right?
- Yeah

- So, how was your grilling?
- Yeah, brilliant

Hello, have we met?
I can't remember

- Gilles, this is Laure
- We were waiting for you

- I hope you didn't miss us too much
- I coped

Come and see where we've got to

Recognise her?

- Karen Hoarau
- Yeah

And Sandrine's kids.
She said they lost touch

She's in a gang of girls,
along with Kimberly Pottier

- Her prints are on Lucie's slipper
- We've been busy

The blonde?
And you didn't nick her?

No. She's in a coma.
Karen set some dogs on her

And we don't know where Karen is

Our only chance of finding her
is France Daoudi

- She's just been arrested in Bobigny
- Not bad

Now we have to get her released

She head-butted an officer.
We're not letting her go

But if she's remanded
we'll lose our primary lead

You waltz in here
and expect us to do whatever you say?

Superintendent, she's ours

These girls threw a mother and child
in the canal

If you want to talk to her,
you can use our office

it's useless

Why don't we question her?

The lawyer will just tell her
to say nothing

Let's do it now
and put the pressure on

What pressure? We've nothing on her

We can't even prove she's in the gang

That's why Laure wants to follow her

Chief Inspector

France Daoudi had this on her

It's from a supermarket near here.
I made you a copy

Canned food, a torch, batteries,
kitchen roll, blankets...

Looks like she’s going camping

Can we get a list of squats
in the area?

Sure. I'll fax it over
as soon as I can

I'll call Roban.
He can get her released

Your Honour, am I interrupting?

I can't really talk at the moment

But go on

Call the prosecutor in Bobigny?
Can't it wait?

I have to go, Laure

Yes, I understand. Leave it to me

Goodbye

Good evening

Thank you for coming

- Good evening
- What will you have?

Coffee, please

Enjoying your time off?

Yes, thank you

I've been thinking about
what you said, last time

That I had become...

harsh, insensitive
and unwilling to listen

It was upsetting to hear...

but...

there's some truth in it

To end up like that,
after all these years...

One wonders if experience
counts for anything

You know...

I've gone through life...

with the deep conviction...

that I'm good at my job

And if I don't have that...

if I don't have that, or you...

I'm useless without you, Marianne

On my own, I lose touch with reality

You helped me
to see the truth about Jaulin

You showed me
I was on the wrong track

Have you seen a doctor?

No, I know what they'll say

It's anxiety or stress

They won't know

But I know that I miss you

Well, I...

I'll think about it

I'll think about it

Come in

Thanks

Hello, Tarek.
Why did you want to meet here?

The container leaves on the 16th.
Do you have the cars?

Yeah, but I'm two short

When will you get them?

Panamera Turbos
are a bugger to find, Tarek

Their owners watch them like hawks

What about two Mercedes?

They want Porsches in Libya.
Mercedes remind them of Gaddafi

But the latest Mercs are just out

Don't you want to see them?

Djibril, don't try to haggle with me

I paid for 12 Porsches
and I want 12 Porsches

Find them

He's leaving the Embassy.
Let Brémont know

Copy that

You takeover here
and we'll tail him

Laure

- Where are you?
- What?

It's the boss. Come and look

- What about him?
- Come on

You can always puke in there,
it's not a problem

- Oh, shit
- Yeah

I've lost my steering wheel

I was having a little nap,
and when I woke up...

it was gone

Berthaud, how will I get home?

How do I get home?

Tintin will take you

- He's kissing me!
- But how?

Go on. You take him

- Yeah. I'll take you, boss
- We'll follow

Put your seatbelt on

I appreciate it, Fromentin

You show me the way

Fromentin...

The disciplinary committee
can stick it up their arse

Yeah

Public safety in Saint-Denis -
that's where I'm going

I showed those bastards

I showed them good and proper

What's the code?

What's your code?

26th July

Careful

- You need a key. A key
- Watch out

- Do you have a key?
- Yeah

- OK
- Come on, let's go

Berthaud, will you help me pack?

When are you going?

Don't worry, leave him to me

- Really?
- I've got him

What a load of shit

I'll come up with you

What floor is it? Can you remember?

Do you know the floor number?

Did you know?

What are they thinking?
They can't let him go now

What can I say?

I'm glad you're back

it's hard without you, Gilou

Is it?

- OK, thanks
- Wait. What's wrong?

You haven't said a thing today

Gilou?

Talk to me

I don't think you need me

I try to help
and you laugh in my face

Then suddenly, you miss me.
Make your mind up

I laughed in your face? When?

Look, if you want to go it alone,
that's fine

OK?

But don't suddenly turn around and
say that you can't cope without me

I'm tired of you using me

I thought you weren't coming

This needs to get
to the judge by 2:00pm

it can't be late,
because this judge is a real...

Françoise, can I speak to you
for a moment?

I'm going to fetch Ziani.
He's agreed to see the judges

Has he agreed to go to prison?

He's counting on me
to get him out quickly

And I can guarantee
his accounts will be unfrozen today

That's excellent news, Joséphine

What will you give me, in return?

We agreed on 60,000 with Maurice

No, it's not enough

We'll discuss it
once the transaction is done

That will be too late.
I want to discuss it now

How much would you like?

On top of the 60,000 Euros,
I want my own department

I'll have my own clients
and we'll share the fees

I'd have to ask Maurice...

and he's out at a meeting,
so I can't disturb him

But I, however, can easily decide
not to go to the courts

I'd lose 60.000 Euros, but you...

I doubt the figure
would fit in your calculator

This is blackmail, Joséphine

I'm not leaving without an answer

I'll call Maurice

This one is Rue de l'Ecuyer

There's this one and this one.
That's the supermarket

And that's right opposite

Any news on France Daoudi?

Bobigny still have her in custody

But these are the squats near the
supermarket where she went shopping

Let's send a couple of guys
to have a look at them

it'll take a while

Do you have a better idea?

I've asked about Laetitia Ribeiro...

the girl who went down
with Karen for arson

She's on parole and doing a
hairdressing placement in Bondy

We could ask if she's seen Karen

- Is that the address?
- Yeah

Thanks, Gilou

You seem chirpy, all of a sudden

I'm fine. Why do you say that?

No reason

Coming to Bondy?

Your Honour. Your Honour

Ms Karlsson. Are you alone?

No. My client is outside

We wanted to be sure you would
keep your side of the bargain

This is an order
to unfreeze the accounts

My clerk will fax it

Perfect

Mr Ziani

And take your hands
out of your pockets

Mr Ziani...

you were being investigated
for inflicting GBH upon your staff...

and for unreported employment

Your lawyer was only just
able to convince us...

not to have you detained

But rather than respecting
your judicial supervision...

you chose to violate it

We will therefore ask the magistrate
to end your judicial supervision...

and remand you
in custody, immediately

Do you have anything to say?

No

Ms Karlsson?

No, Your Honour

Then I'll let the magistrate
take it from here

My colleague and I...

will later question you on the
charges of which you stand accused

Gentlemen

Can I see proof that my accounts
have been unfrozen?

I trust you

Thank you. Goodbye

Finally!

I didn't think he would come

it's not over, yet

- Hello
- Hello

We'd like to speak
to Laetitia Ribeiro

Laetitia?

Do you know Karen Hoarau?

You already know
the answer to that

Have you seen her
since you got out?

No. Well...

I saw her once, the day I got out.
I bumped into her on the estate

Has she done something?

And since then?

Has she tried to see you
or contact you at all?

No

But you were close?

Before prison, yeah...

but I don't want
anything more to do with Oz, now

Oz?

She hates being called Karen,
so they call her Oz

We have to go

Call me if you hear anything

- Who was it?
- Bobigny

They're releasing France Daoudi

Call the guys. We'll tail her

And tap this one's phone

- Is that surveillance?
- Yeah

No visit to the judge?

Don't worry.
You'll get your day in court

You can keep that

Surveillance is in position

OK

And here comes JP

OK, everyone in position

Copy that

Hey, isn't that her?

- That's her
- She's coming

Gilou, can you see her?

Yeah, I see her

She just passed the van

JP, go around the block.
Nico, you follow her

Go on

Hello. A coffee, please

This is Nico.
She's just ordered chips

Chief Inspector Berthaud

Yeah, that's me

When?

Right now?

OK, I'm coming

Kimberly has just woken up

She wants to talk to the police

I'll go with Tinti
Gilou, you take over

Copy that

Don't lose Daoudi.
I'm counting on you

I can finish up here

You fetch Charlotte
and I'll make lunch

OK

Laetitia

- ls something wrong?
- No

- What do you want?
- Hey, can we talk?

No, I'm busy

- We can walk and talk
- Go away

Get lost

I need cash

I don't have any, I'm not being paid

I'm not here to beg

I need serious money

- Your boss...
- You know the police are after you?

- What do they want?
- They didn't say

- And you?
- Leave me alone or I'll talk to them

- Laetitia
- Hello, sweetie

- You OK?
- Yeah

- Not too tired?
- No

School isn't over, yet

Is that your boss's daughter?

Who's that?

No one. Come on

What did you do at school?

And...?

Forget that bitch

But I've got an idea

What is it?

Don't worry

it was Oz who let the dogs out

She didn't want me
to talk to the police

if you don't do what she says...

she loses it

But I can't keep quiet about it.
I keep having nightmares

What nightmares?

Sandrine...

and her daughter

You mean Sandrine Jaulin and Lucie?

Were you there when they were killed?

Who else was there?

Oz...

France...

and Fatou

Why did you take it out on Lucie?

To punish Sandrine

Oz looked after her kids

One night, we went to see her

We messed the whole place up, for fun

When Sandrine got back,
she kicked us out

She told Oz to never come back...

and to stay away from the kids

Oz loved Lucie. She was so angry

Then, one day...

Oz climbed in through the window
to snatch Lucie

She gave her sleeping pills
so she wouldn't wakeup

But Sandrine heard...

and it all kicked off

They had a fight

Oz lost it and smashed
her over the head

She was bleeding

Then we realised Sandrine was dead

We didn't know what to do

Oz wanted to keep Lucie...

but we knew that wasn't possible

The canal was France's idea

And no one tried to save that girl?

Not even you?

This is Nico. She's coming out

- Hey, you didn't pay
- Police. We're after her

Leave it to us

She's turned right,
along the boulevard

She's heading
into the shopping centre

I need someone on foot

Cindy, I can't talk.
I'm tailing someone

I had another fight with Djibril.
I've left him

Where are you?

At Roxanne's.
I wanted to let you know

OK. I'll call you back

I can't see her, JP. Can you?

She just went in there!
I've lost her

Fuck, I can't see her anywhere.
Oh, shit

Tom's coming. I'll go around

Excuse me

I'm here, lads

- Tom, where are you?
- I'm here

I'm coming down

I'll check the shops

Tom, check the metro station

No, nothing. She's not here

Nothing up here, lads

No sign of her

Shit

Yeah?

Gilou, France Daoudi
was at the crime scene

Stop tailing her and arrest her

Gilou, are you there?

There you are.
Machard is with the magistrate

Machard?

Ziani went free? But why?
What does this mean?

That's quite a face, Roban

You intervened?

It was in our nation's best interests

Ziani beat his staff
and violated judicial supervision...

but he's let off
for the good of the country?

Control yourself, Roban

Ziani came along
of his own free will

That proves he has faith
in our justice system

Shouldn't we show him clemency?

And even if the charges
against him were justified...

Franco-Libyan relations come before
a scrap with two illegal Filipinos...

wouldn't you agree?

We'll never see Ziani again

You realise that?

At least we won't find him
hanged in his cell

Which is one less worry for us all

I should never have
dragged you into this

Stop saying "I"

We played and we lost, together

You should have told me that
the Prosecutor would intervene

Why? We got the outcome we wanted

I need my clients to trust me

Were you scared I'd tell Roban?

What happened?

How did you manage to lose her?

The shopping centre was full
of corridors, stairs...

And there weren't enough of us

You should have called for back-up...

or improvised

- You've messed up a lot, lately
- What are you saying?

Calm down. It's not Gilou's fault.
We were all there

We all messed up

Any news on the squats?

We have two guys on it.
I'll call them

We'll send photos
of the girls to every station

They're skint, they're on the run,
they're hardly pros...

they shouldn’t be
that hard to find

What, no leaving drinks?

Well, me and drinks...

But I wish I could be there
when you catch that gang

To see you end on a high note

Take care of yourself, will you?

Promise?

Laure?

Sorry. They've found the girls' squat

Who's this?

France, where the fuck are you?

Yeah

Fuck, you were lucky. Stay there

- Where was she?
- With the police

She head-butted a copper

But she's out,
so they can't know about us

- Ready?
- Yeah. OK

Go, go

Hey! That's my fucking van

- Well?
- They're living on the third floor

- Tom, check the second floor
- OK

Bye-bye

Daddy

Bye-bye

Laure?

No, no

- Shut up and get in
- Let her go

Shut up
