1 Don't turn back, OK? Tara? It can't be.
What do you want? Oh God! Richard! Look at me when I talk to you! What's your name? Answer me! You come in through the window with a gun! Who do you think you are? What are you after? You're a cop, right Where's your badge? Show me your badge.
What does she do? Oh my God! Why are you here? Got a grudge against my family? That boy is he your son? - Leave him out of this.
- Wait.
I'm Alice Lambert.
My husband was killed, my daughter kidnapped.
We didn't do it.
2 days ago, your son was passed off as my daughter.
- Bullshit.
- I swear it's true.
I saw him in a car.
Ask him.
Ask him! Nolan? Come here.
Do you know this lady? You were in a car, you saw me.
2 days ago.
Do you remember me? Who were you with? I swear it's true.
How could he be in a car 2 days ago? Come on.
Dylan, slay in your bedroom with your brother.
Richard! Sit down.
Richard is fine.
I'll ask my wife if what you're saying is true.
You've reached Katarina.
Please, leave a message after the beep.
Are you suggesting my wife lies to me? I don't know but I did see your son in the kidnappers' car.
That's impossible! She and Nolan were at her mate Deborah's when I got back from Rungis.
You know why we're here? This is the address of my daughter's kidnapper.
Katarina didn't kidnap your daughter.
She left early today, she went to Deborah's.
I'm getting worried about this.
Are you a cop? My wife is in danger.
Come on! It's our best lead to finding Tara.
Pavel, I'll be there in an hour.
Katarina Maud, if Katarina arrives, tell her to call me.
"I'm going to pick up your mum, kids.
" She's not answering.
My car has a GPS tracking unit.
I've had a car stolen and the cops were useless.
No offense meant.
Follow the blue dot.
I know how it works.
Thierry, does your wife often slay away all night? What are you insinuating? We want to know if she's linked to my daughter.
Where's she from? I mean, how did you meet? On the internet.
I know what you're thinking.
Truckers never meet girls.
A pal met his Kosovar wife that way, so I signed up.
She and I hit it off at once.
She fell lonely on a farm in Belarus.
4 months later, she asked to meet me.
I suppose she asked for money.
No, she insisted on buying the plane ticket herself.
I met her at the airport.
The first day.
We married after 3 weeks.
Dylan came a year later.
It was the best day of my life when I first saw my little baby.
I'm sorry, I got carried away.
How did you guys meet? First turning on the left.
Then straight ahead.
So Samuel Armand? We're at their flat.
There was an accomplice, but they emptied the flat.
Oh well We must find them! I'll call you back.
He was right there, in front of me! Tell me then He offered you a coffee? My males say I make the best coffee.
No, thanks.
Then you called and I let him go.
How stupid of me! Stupid? - He'd have killed you.
- Is that supposed to cheer me up? I saved your life with a call, that should cheer you up.
Shut up, Tessier.
- Which way? - Straight ahead.
Jump the lights.
The signal stops around here.
Straight on, then right.
- You got a picture of her on you? - Always.
- Beautiful, uh? - She is.
I don't want anything to happen to her.
- She's not there yet? - No.
You think she's onto us? I don't know.
Wait She's coming.
Tell her it's not personal.
There she is! Katarina.
- Are you OK? - Why are you here? - And the kids? - At home with my sister.
Where's my daughter? Answer her.
Is it here? It's OK.
Come on in.
Why did you come here? Where's Deborah? No sign of Tara.
Alice This is the kidnapper.
Do you know him? Do you know him? Why did you lie to me? What do you fucking do here? Who are you working with? Easy, calm down.
Easy.
Why was my son with him? I had no choice.
He threatened me.
How? He said he'd meet Nolan at school and hurt him.
Why didn't you tell me? Because he's my brother! What do you mean? Who was there? Lambert, her friend and a guy.
I saw them stop Pavel's daughter.
This means the cops can't be far.
We'll have to kiss them all goodbye.
We'll make a group discount.
Got your passport? I'm ready for a new beginning.
I'll meet you at the car.
Pavel sent a message telling me to meet him here.
He can't be dead.
He is.
Without us, you'd be dead too.
The murderers fear you may identify them.
Tell us everything you know.
Do they have my daughter? If I talk, they'll kill my family.
She needs to find her child.
Put yourself in her shoes.
Pavel was all my family.
We were street kids.
We had to steal to survive.
He forced me to One day, he told me he had a plan.
I only had to get pregnant.
He wanted to come to France and sell my baby to a man who'd have it adopted.
He said we'd make a lot of money.
Who's that man? I never met him.
He had accomplices.
Pavel knew them.
Did you sell your baby? I never found out if it was a boy or a girl.
I wanted to get out of all that.
So to stay in France I signed up on that dating site.
Forgive me.
Listen, Katarina you're the mother of my children and I love you.
I'm very understanding.
They saved your life.
Tell them what you know.
Why would they kidnap your daughter? It's a surrogacy scam.
I don't know.
Do you know them? Where can we find them? They keep all pregnant women at the same place.
If we go there, promise you'll slay outside.
Let's go.
It's there.
Who is it? Katarina.
Open the door.
Where's Pavel? He sent me here.

- Do you work here alone? - Yes.
Any women? - No! - They're upstairs.
You can't go there.

Alice Have you seen this girl? She knows nothing.
Who do you work for? I only know Pavel.

The key card is from a hotel in the suburbs.
You called them? I can't.
It closed down 10 years ago.

It is her.
The gynaecologist.

What shall we do? Move on to the next one.
Mr Bacard, a lawyer.
Are you sure about the address? OK.

Family photo Stéphane Bacard I think I'll hang up.
And I know what you do.
Harm Alice Lambert and I'll come get you.
- Got it? - I know what you can do.
Mr Millot, you may threaten me.
But the sound of your voice tells me you're afraid.
Let's settle this, you and I.
Go ahead.
You know where I am, right? - I do.
- I'm wailing for you.
Fine.
It's me.
- Where are you? - Are you following her? Yes, I'm right behind her.
What happened at the snack bar? She used a phone to call a certain Bacard.
- Who's he? - A lawyer.
He runs a child adoption organisation.
Adoption? You think he had Tara? His address is the one we tracked the ransom down to.
We're so close.
Listen carefully.
That women is very dangerous.
She and her gang know you're following her.
You understand? Don't worry, I have your gun.
I won't lose her.
Slop following her.
Meet me at Bacard's Hello? Richard? No battery Shit.
I want to talk to you.
Mrs Vanech, right? I'm a cop.
Can I see your badge? It's about the pregnant woman you just examined.
- That's confidential.
- In Seine-Saint-Denis.
Then you called your accomplice, Mr Bacard, a lawyer.
It's about your illegal adoption network, and the children you kidnap to sell in the black market.
Shall I go on? Of course, you understand nothing.
You can't tell me where you were.
And you're saying your daughter-in-law called you, sent all these pregnant women over and you didn't think to ask her where she was.
Am I right? - Yes, superintendent.
- That's it.
You used to be more inquisitive about her, Mrs Delaunay.
And you like running a maternity ward? Is it fun? The girls don't understand.
I'll translate if you promise they won't be in trouble.
Trouble? They're up to their necks in trouble.
They're in deep trouble! And so are you.
- In deep trouble! - I'll handle this.
Tell me something or I won't be able to help anyone.
There's a woman doctor, but I don't know her name.
- Is anyone else here? - No one.
I see you have a gun.
What do you want? 2 years ago, a girl was kidnapped, she was in your network.
We don't kidnap children.
We don't work that way.
You're involved in the trafficking of pregnant women to sell their babies.
Trafficking? That's not it.
We place those babies with much better parents.
We're not the only ones who make money.
- No one's a victim.
- I am! My daughter was kidnapped.
Tell me everything about you network.
Where do the children go? How would I know? I'm a doctor.
Where do you find the families? Our surrogate mothers are voluntary.
We're not kidnappers.
Who sorts out the children's papers? Your friend Bacard? Listen Even if you were right, there are no records.
You'll never find her.
That is not what I want to hear.
Call your friend Bacard, tell him to bring the list of all the families that have adopted in the past 2 years.
Call him! Drop your gun.
Put your gun down.
Hello, Alice.
Bacard sent you? Don't do that here.
Wait Your turn.
That's not the policy of Elan Familial.
That's the way it is.
Hello.
I told you I'd beat you.
I don't believe in lifts.
Is Mr Bacard in? Yes, but he mustn't be disturbed.
Wait outside like everyone else.
He was here just 10 minutes ago.
You're not here for an adoption? Not really.
- Which floor is this? - 11th.
Bloody hell! Hello, security? We have to get out of here.
Alice? This is Alice.
Remember me? Bacard said you don't want us to harm her.
Too bad.
I'm here with her and her daughter.
They're still alive.
You want the address? At Denise Vanech's, in Suresnes.
30 minutes, or you'll only see their graves.
They've got Alice.
You see any possible cop, we'll kill her and go.
If it goes wrong, you know what to do.
Let them think I'm a monster.
We'll be alright.
We'll go away after this.
You want this? No, stupid me.
You want your daughter.
It's amazing how she's grown.
There's something I don't understand.
If you care so much about her, why did you give us fake money? Because you got us in deep shit.
I lost my house because of you.
What will I do to her? After killing your boyfriend I'm going to kill you.
And Tara will have no mother.
- Stop playing, Oscar.
- No, please.
Oscar, listen to your mother.
- Let me finish the game.
- We said 20 minutes.
Richard? I'm in a hurry, lake this down.
There's a lawyer called Bacard.
He runs an illegal adoption network disguised as an organisation.
Did you say "Bacard"? Yes.
Listen.
If something goes wrong, make sure the cops get his files.
Tara may have got through them.
What could go wrong? What are you doing? We're not far.
Shit! What's the matter? Nothing.
My wife's car.
Pull up there.
Be discreet.
How can you have this in your car? I told you.
I'm equipped.
No boom! From now on, do exactly as I say.
Look at me in the eye.
OK? OK.
When did she arrive at the hotel? She's Polish, her Russian isn't good.
About 3 months.
How did she get there? That's her.
That's the doctor at the hotel.
Is she the doctor who looks after you? You got her address? Let's go.
I think he's here.
But he's slaying put.
- What? - He's slaying put.
Slay here.
Why doesn't he get out? Call him.
It's ringing.
Where are you? Release Alice and Tara.
Come get them.
You're in no position to negotiate.
Be outside in 10 seconds or I'll kill them.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six He's started the car.
He has a pump-action shotgun.
Get out and drop your gun.
Hello? Sam, on the roof.
Fuck! Shit.
Slop right there! Sam! Sam! Sam, talk to me! Where is my daughter? I don't know! You're lying! - Answer me! - I've never known where she was.
I don't believe you, you're lying! I've never had your daughter.
You've been wrong all along.
- You're lying.
- Stand back.
You're lying.
- Let go of her.
- Help me! Help me! Let her go.
You, drop your gun.
I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything! Let me go.
Come here.
Can't you see she's lying? - She's lying.
- Enough.
You're hurting me! Edouard? Back already? Yes.
The girls were taken to a centre for pregnant women.
That's good.
Are you OK? Yes, I fell a bit cold so I made a small fire.
Would you make us some tea? Yes.
I'm coming.
I'm sorry, honey.
I'll be there very soon.
Kiss the girls for me.
I love you.
Being a family man is the most beautiful duly, don't you think? They'll say I behaved badly, I did something nasty.
But they're wrong.
It's pretty simple.
There are loving people who want a family and children who live in utter poverty.
What's one supposed to do? Let them live in squalid orphanages or with single mothers who can't even provide for them? Of course not.
Let's gel in the car.
When NGOs help children in danger, we all commend them.
We know those children need protection.
You're a father yourself.
Do you remember your children's first school show? My daughter on the stage It seemed like all the spotlights were on her.
Ever felt such happiness? Such plenitude? I watched the other parents.
They stared at their children as if there were no others.
There's nothing more sacred in life.
Right? We're all the same.
We're not ready to kill.
But to defend our children's lives, we wouldn't hesitate a second.
It's just a line to cross.
We live on that edge.
