Spiral (2005–…): Season 5, Episode 12 - Episode #5.12 - full transcript

Seriously, I hope her mum coughs up

Where do we go next?

How about Cannes?

Get her! She wants to be a star!

What, don't you like the Côte d'Azur?

We have to leave the country

France is rubbish

You slobbered all over it

As if you're any better!

Isn't that right, Oz?

This country's full of fascists!



Fucking stop it

Have some of that!

- You're lucky. I missed
- Yeah

- But I'll get you
- Stop, you bitch, I can't swim

What's so funny?

- Stop laughing
- Are you serious?

Yeah

- At your age!
- Shut up

Shut up, you idiot

You're getting on my tits

Was the drive OK?
Not too much puking?

Go on

You, move

No. You stay there



What are you doing?

You're out of your minds
Fuck you, Laeti

You're nothing to us, now

Like Sandrine?

This should convince her mum

SERIES CREATED BY ALEXANDRA CLERT

The girls are on the wanted list
of every station in Paris

Whatever happens,
they're going to need money

We've tapped their families'
phones in case they call

We've dealt with the handbags

And this?
What was it doing in the squat?

We have something
on Laetitia Ribeiro's phone

She went to fetch her
boss's kid. They're not back

Her boss is losing it
and keeps calling Laetitia

- She's not answering?
- It's turned off

Let's go

Her friend said she saw it
happen outside the school

- They both got in a van?
- I don't know anyone with a van

- Did her friend see who was driving?
- No

- Do you have her number?
- Of course

Laetitia always tells me
if she's running late

She knows I worry

Thanks

Have you ever seen her?

- I saw her with Laetitia
- When?

At lunchtime. Who is she?

- Call the office for back-up
- OK

So, this is Charlotte,
eight years old

She and Laetitia got in a white van
on Rueetienne Marcel

Go and meet Tintin and Gilou there

Check CCTV and comb the area

OK. Nico, you go that way.
Tom, come with me

Still here?

I couldn't just drop you in it.
I'll leave once we find the girl

- But your new job...
- it can wait

Nobody else wants it, anyway

How's it going?

A little girl was abducted.
It can't get much worse

- Josèphine, I don't understand
- What don't you understand?

Ziani was meant to go to prison.
That was what we agreed

The magistrate disagreed. I wasn't
going to fight to send him to prison

The magistrate agreed with me.
It was Machard who did this

And you knew he would.
That's why you made the deal with me

And you knew he would.
That's why you made the deal with me

You think I'm in league with Machard?

I got over Pierre's death
by staying true to my principles

And so, it seems, did you

Your Honour...

this case was
a welcome distraction for us both

We were both doing our jobs.
We owe each other nothing

Marianne?

A fax came from Jaulin's lawyer

The children's judge doesn't want him
to see his son

I'll deal with it

Thank you

So, Ziani is the one
who just got off?

- And Djibril works with him?
- Yeah. He's onto a good thing

- Where are the cars?
- Here

In Djibril's garage

He's fitted them
with Libyan Embassy plates

Worth 500 grand, in all

They go to Marseille in three days,
then by boat to Libya

Djibril will regret
not having us as allies

He's going to regret more than that

Gilou, it's me, Cindy

I wanted to tell you.
I can't stop thinking about yesterday

I loved it, I want you to take me

Call me

- Gilou...?
- Escoffier

it's none of our beeswax

It's our chance to get back at CID

Forget it. We'll do our job properly

if anyone goes down, it's Djibril

Yes?

- Hello, Marianne
- Hello

Superintendent

it's been too long

If you read the newspaper,
you'll know how things are going

if you're worried about Tarek Ziani,
perhaps I can put your mind at rest

Go on

Ziani is under investigation...

for trafficking luxury cars
between France and Libya

We were led to him
by a well-known felon, Djibril Mérini

He steals top-end cars.
We've been tailing him for weeks

He supplies Ziani from a garage
in the 20th arrondissement

Then he fits the cars
with diplomatic number plates

The cars go to Marseille on the 16th

Then they leave for Tripoli

And what are you going to do?

Request
a preliminary investigation...

and search the property

Should I wait until you're on duty?

Make sure Ziani's name
isn't mentioned...

or the prosecutor's office
will kick up a fuss

Don't you mind that Ziani got off?

Yes, but I don't take it personally.
We can't win every case

You'll have to excuse me.
My husband just got promoted

Give him my congratulations

Don't get involved with Ziani again.
Forget him

Move on

Yes. Laure?

Abducted? Who?

I'll come and see you

Is that the van?

Right time, right colour.
But we can't read the plate

- How old is the girl?
- Eight

And what do we know
about Laetitia Ribeiro?

She grew up with
the other girls in the gang

She got five years for arson,
along with Karen Hoarau, or "Oz"

She was released on parole
a few weeks ago

Her placement was going well...

her boss said
she took the job seriously

Then, she abducts a child

We don't know if Oz
convinced Laetitia to do it...

or if Laetitia
had the idea herself

I'm sure you'll agree that
the little girl is our first priority

I'll be back

Laure, I meant to ask you...

You remember Djibril Mèrini,
who helped us to find Blanco?

Are you going after him or not?

Not him in particular. Why?

The Crime Unit wants to bring him in
for questioning

The Crime Unit? On what grounds?

Car theft

I wanted to make sure
you weren't planning to arrest him

I'll check, but I don't think so

If you hear anything about the girl,
don't hesitate to call me

Goodbye, Chief lnspector

- All right?
- Yeah

I don't get it...

they still haven't dealt
with my complaint

it's been three weeks

That happens sometimes

Is it because Djibril is a grass?

That doesn't mean
he can beat up his girl

I don't want to be his girl

What did they say
about your complaint?

- Did you hear me?
- Yeah

I don't care about Djibril

I want to be with you

Sort things out with him, first

That's what the complaint is for

Yeah, but I can't
get involved with you...

if things aren't clear between you

You weren't so fussy
back at your place

Exactly, and I want you
to come back there

- Really?
- But all in good time

Oh, no. What is it?

The Crime Unit wants
to arrest Djibril for car theft

How do you know?

It's Roban's case.
He came and told me

- Did you tell him he's our grass?
- Of course not

Do you want Djibril to go down?

Rather him than us

Brèmont is doing us a favour,
in a way

Sooner or later, Djibril would have
stabbed us in the back

We never even saw
those two Cayennes he asked for

he probably kept them for himself

Is that going to be a problem?

No, it just feels wrong

I don't think it's right
for another unit to nick him

But you'd shag his girl

No way

What are you doing? They sent
a ransom message to the girl's mother

"100 grand and we'll let her live"

I don't have it

I can get 20,000
but I don't have 100,000

We can negotiate with them

We'll do everything we can
to find Charlotte

She's asthmatic

If she gets worried or anxious,
she'll have an asthma attack

I always put an inhaler in her bag...

but what if she's lost it?

The girls will call about the money

So stay here with us

We'll help you to talk to them

I could borrow the money from friends

- We're not going to pay them
- What do you mean?

Right now, they need Charlotte...

but if you pay
we don't know what they might do

But if we don't pay,
will I ever see her again?

We never pay ransoms

Otherwise,
everyone would start doing it

I don't believe this

Quiet, please

It's thanks to one woman
that I'm here tonight

She gave me the thing
that every man values most dearly...

his liberty

Ms Karlsson, allow me to kiss you

Are you free next week?

Come to Beirut

I'll think about it

OK, I'll be back in two minutes

If you meet his friends,
you'll have no end of work

They're all the same

I want to work here, not in Beirut

Maurice has his faults,
but he's a man of his word

You'll get your place at the firm

He has a lot to gain by hiring you

- You want another?
- Yes

Joséphine, can I talk to you
for a minute?

You know that when we first met,
I didn't think very highly of you

Yes, I noticed that

But now, let's talk about the future

We need someone like you
on the board of directors...

who isn't afraid to make
difficult decisions when they arise

What do you think?

I don't know what to say

I never expected this

I should tell you right now...

that if you accept,
it comes at a price

We need you to vote with us
at the next board meeting

What for?

To dismiss Edelman

You want to dismiss Edelman? Why?

Ziani isn't the first client
we've nearly lost because of him

The next board meeting
is tomorrow...

at 3:00pm

Look, I identified the van

It was stolen from a bread company
two days ago

- Put out a call. And Gilou...
- Yeah?

I've been thinking

What's going on with Cindy?

I don't know

We meet up,
the sex is good, we laugh...

What else can I say?

Everything all right?

Fantastic

Don't forget to do some work,
will you?

I thought you and I
had a future together

But you didn't, so that was that

Djibril?

Gilou. I need to see you

Now isn't a good time

Come on, it won't take long

Have I ever let you down?

OK. Where are you?

I knew we were mates

What's this car?

Who cares? Just help me shift it

Why the hell should I help you?

How many cars did I get
for your mates?

The Crime Unit is after you!

Can't you get me off?

Get you off? You must be joking

OK. Then I'll say your mates
helped me to find those Cayennes

I'll break your face,
you piece of shit

- Piece of shit?
- Yeah

I do you a favour and you won't
lift a finger to help me?

You said we had to trust each other

I had some news,
but maybe I won't tell you

Tell me what?

Tell me what?

You're rumbled, you prick

The judge has a file on you

Happy now?

Don't move, sweetheart. Just wait

OK. Now, you do the same

it's too tight

Wait, did you pack your scissors?

Try cutting it

You're bleeding

Don't worry

Is it working?

Shit, you did it!

Do that again
and I'll break your legs, got it?

You disgust me

I disgust you?

You didn't mind it in prison

- Croissants
- Any Danish pastries?

No

Here it comes

it'll be OK

Hello?

- Is that Charlotte's mum?
- Yes. Can I talk to her?

Do you have the money?

- Yes, but my daughter...
- How much?

- 100000
- Have you told the police?

No

Be at the station car park
in Ris-Crangis, in one hour

No coppers, or your daughter gets it

Yes, but I want to see my daughter

The money, first

That was Oz

We'll do as she says,
you'll drive there...

we'll follow behind
and everything will be OK

It's money on top,
newspaper underneath

Give it to them
and then we'll move in

I want to go alone

We'll talk over the radio.
They won't see us

it'll be OK

Inès, turn right
and go down the tunnel

Now go left, into the car park

it's there, on the left

Tintin, Gilou, you take the car park

- Tom, go straight on. I'll go right
- OK

- JP, Nico, wait at the station
- Copy that

What do I do, now?

Park the car and wait.
Don't worry, Tintin is there

We're in position

Remember, we're looking...

for a white van

A Mercedes Vito

OK, got it

Hello?

Are you there?
Yes

OK. Turn on your headlights

There
OK

Now, drive out of the car park
and turn right at the roundabout

Turn right again
and drive until you see a dirt track

Go to the end and wait

I'm going. What should I do?
Do as she says

Why is she taking us there?

Where is it? Straight on?

Yes. We'll wait for you

- Tintin, Gilou, stay put
- OK

The rest of you.
wait for the white van

- OK. No problem
- Copy that

Now, take the next right

- Where the fuck are we going?
- I don't know, but I don't like it

What do I do? There's no one here

Keep going, lnés

This leads to the station

They're going to do it
on the platform

Now, stop and wait for them to call

We're back at the car park

Tintin, Tom, stay where you are

OK, got it

Laure, a white van just came
into the car park

Stay put, it's the wrong model

OK

- Yes?
- Take the bag to the platform

We're going onto the platform

Tintin, Gilou, wait at the far end

Go to the end of the platform

Stand by, everyone

if she gets on, so do we

Where are you? I can't see you

Should I get on the train?
I said wait

Go back to the brown railings

Brown railings?

Yes

They're down in the underpass.
Nico, Tom, go!

Drop the bag
Show me Charlotte

Drop the bag, bitch

I'm losing them

No!

Yes, Chief Inspector?
Wait, just one second...

Yes, go ahead

What? But how did you
let them get away?

We can't afford to fail, Laure

- Goodbye. Thank you very much
- Thanks

I got your message.
I know what you're going to ask

- I'd rather not repeat myself
- Me neither. My answer hasn't changed

- I'm dismissing the case
- Excuse me?

I made an error of judgment

The evidence led me to believe
Jaulin was guilty, but I was wrong

Sometimes, judges make mistakes

Your enemies will have a field day

Well, good for them

But soon, Jaulin will no longer
be accused of killing his family...

and no one can stop
his son from visiting him...

not even you

See how much your mum loves you?

You see how much
you're worth to her?

That bitch has abandoned you

Her mum would never do that.
She loves her

- Then she should have paid up
- She cares, unlike your mum

- Bitch
- What did you say?

Shut your fucking mouth

What's wrong with her?

What is it?
What's wrong with the girl?

She needs her inhaler.
It's in her bag

Give her the inhaler

Film her

All right, little man?

How I've missed you!

Get her some water, please

Laure

Sit down

- Hello?
- Did the coppers tell you not to pay?

Let me talk to the bastards
Charlotte has to have her inhaler

- Let me talk to them
- She needs her inhaler

Chief Inspector Berthaud

I spoke to you about the Delormes

I don't give a shit about them

Listen Oz.
Don't call me Oz. I'm not listening

Tell that bitch to pay up
or the, girl dies

Look in Charlotte's bag
and get her inhaler

I know you can do that. OK?

Then, I'll bring the money. I promise

That kid means nothing to me

if she dies, it'll be your fault

This is all your fault

You told me not to pay

That's why we're in this mess

Where's her bag?

You want to help with her homework?

Where is it?

- In the van
- Go and get it

Go and get it. Hurry up

Your mum will never pay up
if you're dead

Again

You OK?

Did you have fun, playing nurses?

Shut up

- I'm Karen's mother
- Thanks for coming. Sit down

What has she done, now?

Taken a little girl hostage

When she calls to ask for the money,
you'll convince her to let her go

Me, convince her?

She never listened to me

Could you at least try?

Well...

When will she call?
I have to be back at work in an hour

Your daughter is threatening
to kill a little girl...

and you worry about your job?

OK

Tell me about your daughter

There's nothing to say

She was an accident

I wish I'd aborted her

That's him

Stand by

Move in

Don't move! Police

Djibril Mérini?

- Yeah?
- Superintendent Brémont

As of 1:49pm, you're under arrest for
theft as part of an organised gang

- You've the right...
- I know my rights. You taught me them

We're going to search your garage.
Can you open it up?

- Do you have papers for that?
- Yes, of course

What am I charged with, again?

OK. I want everything

Accounts, in voices,
social security payments...

- Hello
- Joséphine, we were waiting for you

Please, sit down

This is a surprise

Now we're all here,
I suggest we get started

The first item is the inclusion of
our colleague Joséphine Karlsson...

on the firm's board of directors

We all know the crucial role
she had in getting Ziani released...

and how deftly she took advantage
of the justice system...

to help get our firm back on track

Any objections?

Any abstentions?

Then welcome aboard, my dear

Thank you

Now, I'd like us to add
another item to the agenda

Since when do we add items
at the last minute?

Since when do you care
about etiquette?

I would like to vote on the dismissal
of one of our partners...

in other words, you, Eric

You want to dismiss me?

Don't act surprised.
You knew this was on the cards

I offered to negotiate several times,
and you always refused

You need a unanimous vote
to dismiss a partner

Who's in favour
of dismissing Eric Edelman...

from the firm's
board of directors?

If you thought I was expensive,
you haven't seen anything yet

Recognise yourself?

What's the problem?

I can use a car park if I want

And this?

What?

You're driving a Cayenne

Don't make me laugh

You can't even see who that is

Do you have a photo of me
nicking it?

You have a passkey
to break into Cayennes

We saw you with it

Without my face behind the wheel,
you've got nothing

I wouldn't relax just yet

Because we're not giving up

Get him to sign his statement

You fucked us over, didn't you?

But I know who's fucking
your girlfriend even harder

Gilou, it's me, Cindy

I wanted to tell you.
I can't stop thinking about yesterday

I loved it. I want you to take me

We were tricked. Your Honour

The cars had gone from the garage

We've nothing on Mérini,
so we can't keep him in

Why were the cars gone?

Did Mérini know you were coming?

Possibly

You never know with informants

Mérini's an informant?

For whom?

For Inspector Berthaud.
I thought you knew

Your Honour?

Hello?

I'll be back in a sec

Yes, Cindy?

Djibrll knows about us. He's furious.
He says he's going to kill me

Shit. Where are you?
Roxanne's. But he knows the address

Lock the door. I'm coming

- OK
- OK

Tintin, I'll be back.
Call me if you hear anything

- Your Honour
- Superintendent

Your Honour,
we're waiting for Oz to call

Haven't you traced her phone?

Yes, but she never calls
from the same place

And then she turns it off

Thanks for coming. Will you sit down?

Can I talk to you?
Yes

You and I have always
trusted one another, haven't we?

Yes

Why didn't you tell me
Mérini was your informant?

You might have mentioned it

I didn't tell you because...

it wasn't important

Who warned him about the search?

No one knew except you

Anyone can betray me, Laure...

except you

Berthaud

Hello?
Listen up, you bastards

Take the money where I tell you
and then get lost

If you arrest me,
you'll never see Charlotte again

Understand?

OK, but I need guarantees.
How's Charlotte doing?

Fine

Did you give her the inhaler?
Yeah

I knew you would. I trusted you, Oz

I'd like you to bring her with you,
so we can make the swap

Do you think I'm stupid?

I don't trust your friends,
but I trust you

So bring Charlotte...
Stop fucking talking and listen

You'll leave the money at a bus stop
in Draveil. Rue Copernic

If you arrest me,
you know what happens

Copernic. OK

Wait. Let me hand you over to someone

Karen, it's me

It's Mum

Hello?

That's the little girl, Charlotte

I'm not looking at that

- Those cubicles...
- What about them?

It's a water park
that I used to take her to

Where?

On the Seine, near Evry.
We lived around there

We're going to Evry

Call marine police and the Crime Unit

Tom, call the squad in Evry

OK. Someone will take care of you

Open the fucking door

Bastard

Get off him! Stop

Djibril, please

What do you want?

Djibril, for fuck's sake

Djibril

Get off me

Stop it. There's no use
taking it out on her

You fucking traitor

You're going back to prison

- Yes. Tintin?
- Where the fuck are you?

We're closing in on the girls

OK. Give me the address.
I'm on my way

Berthaud

Police

- Police, don't move
- Don't move

Stay where you are

Don't move

OK, OK

Well done, lads

Don't move

Fuck

Let me go or I'll stab her

Nobody move. Oz has the girl

You won't get away

Let her go. Give her to me

It's OK, Charlotte

- Careful, careful...
- I'll stab her, I swear

Be careful. Oz...

Don't hurt her, it's going to be OK.
Don't worry

Oz, be careful

Now, please, give her to me

I know how
it all got out of hand with Lucie

You don't want that
to happen to Charlotte, do you?

I never had anybody

Lucie liked me

I know. That's why Sandrine
let you look after her

Don't hurt Charlotte. Give her to me

Oz...

Careful, careful...

Oz...

Nobody move

I'll tell them to stay back, OK?

Look, I'm taking it off

Look

Now, let her go

Oz, give Charlotte to me

Look

Give me Charlotte

Give her to me, please

Oz, give Charlotte to me

Which of you is the father?

Tell him to come

The mother will be OK...

but it doesn't look good
for the baby

We're not sure we can save it

Brémont, it's Escoffier

I'm at the hospital in Evry

Laure's pregnant...

and things don't look good

She needs you

That's all
