Braquo (2009) s02e06 Episode Script

Against all appearances, Colonel, I'm on the edge of the abyss.
I've just lost my husband.
Here I am, a widow inheriting his fortune and his debts.
The undertaking he contracted with you was one of his debts.
Hence my presence.
-And how will you settle this debt? In three hours, you and your surviving men will be evacuated from this prison to a destination of your choosing.
That will not be enough.
Too much blood has been shed.
Too many of my men have died.
Valuable men.
Let me be clear.
I will repay only my husband's debt of life to you.
If you wish for revange, this is your business, not mine.
It's a job that I don't have the means to complete, and you know it.
I can help you.
But there will be a price to pay.
How much? MOTHER AND HOMELAND Evacuate! We've lost them.
Good work, Blitch.
See you soon.
Well, Mr.
Caplan.
Have you thought about it? Attacking a secure site to steal a prototype weapon? Lives will be lost.
In all honesty, I think it's utter madness.
If I was sound of mind, I'd have died long ago.
I will ask you one last time.
Will you do it for half a million euros? Colonel, I've served this country as a soldier.
We'd have to shoot to kill to get out of this alive.
I refuse to shoot soldiers.
That does you credit.
But the men protecting the weapon are securuty guards, or mercenaries, if you like.
Before doing this, I need to know where Roxane is.
She's with Werner Blitch, who will drop her where she likes in Paris.
Well? The Invisibles seem to be very well informed as to our plans.
Or has one of our friends turned into an enemy? Do you think someone's leaking information? These guys got into of hell on earth in Angola.
They've been under the radar for 10 years.
Who could have helped them do this? Who got them back into the country so they could steal Surely not the person you suspect.
Your mother, Antoine? Tell her I'm still waiting for her to visit.
Tell her it is her best interests, to drop in before my invitation becomes a summons.
Who were all those guys? The military branch of Interior Intelligence.
Fevre bugged Kervaso's USB stick.
We realised, and they fell into the trap.
Is that all you feel? We're nearly at the end.
- Really? Which one? "Which" what? - Which end, Eddy.
Their or ours? - Are you having doubts? I'm just asking, that's all.
- I know what I'm doing.
Trust me.
We've got to see this through.
Walter Here.
-Why the hell would I want that? I know you need it.
Use what you need, and hide the rest.
Hello? - Mr Caplan? I'm at the Empyree.
I need to see you.
-I'm coming.
- Don't come in the main door.
Captain Vogel, the emergency disciplinary committee hereby expels you permanently from the police force and strips you of your civic rights.
You also have a suspended sentence for a duration of one year.
If you commit any infringements during this period, you will be tried in closed court and are liable for up to 10 years behind bars.
Ladies and gentlemen This isn't over, Vogel.
Over the next 365 days, I'll be on your back constantly.
Ever.
The minute you slip up and you will, I'll be waiting to bring you down for good.
Who's this, then? - Remember the gold robbery? This was supposed to be the buyer.
He was found strangled in a pit in the subrubs.
He had paper stuffed to the bottom of his throat.
Forensics have put together what was still legible.
I've got to go.
Everything you need to know is the folder.
See you.
Do you see the black car? Do you think it's the cops? It's hard to tell from here.
- They were there yesterday, too.
If you think they pose a threat, why did you call me? The Colonel and his men can take care of them.
I know how the Colonel works.
And you have been on the receiving end.
Enough people have died already.
Plus, you promised my brother that you'd look after me.
True.
But you don't seem to need anyone to take care of you.
Here's the HBX, Colonel.
As promised.
You need a high explosive for your operation.
This'll bring the wall down and give you a way in.
-Good.
Once the lorry has exploded, you'll be faced by about a dozen guards with automatic weapons.
Whatever way you look at it, you're going to be exposed, Colonel.
Very exposed.
Hello.
- It's me.
I need to see you.
Where are you? -The cafe where we ate with Walter.
OK.
I'll see you there.
Are you leaving? Do you think you'll return? - Why? Shouldn't I? That's for you to say.
Don't hang around, Caplan.
Do you recognise his writing? I thought I threw that document away.
I never expected you to rummage through my bins like that.
How long have you been involved? - Since your father died.
It was one of the unpleasant obligations he left behind.
What part did he play in all this? In the 1980's, your father visited Cabinda.
It's a tiny country but is full of oil, gas and diamonds All that trash that excited us Whites so much.
Your father made a deal with the Congo to gain control of all this.
But General Fevre, head of Directorate of Military Intelligence, had decided France should bet on Angola, not the Congo.
Your father's plane blew up mid-flight.
You're saying Fevre was behind father's death? If Fevre had nothing to do with it, why was he removed from his post and given a job in Interior Intelligence? It doesn't look much like a promotion to me.
So, yes, I take pleasure in the idea of ruining Fevre's existence.
What's happened? - He killed them all, Eddy.
Killed? Who? What? - Blitch.
He shoot them all.
Do you have any idea who they were? An elite commando unit.
Blitch said they were Fevre's men.
Did you see them arrive? - Yes.
Did they give any kind of warning before they attacked? Oh, shit.
What? If they attacked without warning, they've been told to shoot on sight.
So if we'd been there, they'd have killed us too? From now on, we can't trust anyone but ourselves.
How's she doing? -What do you think? -Come on.
She's never been this bad.
The doctor and nurse kept quiet in front me, but I saw their faces.
Mum's going to die.
Mum's not going to die.
She's in a good clinic.
She'll be fine.
Léa, I've never lied to you.
- That's because you're never there.
If mum stays in hospital, and you aren't around, what's going to happen to Oscar and me? We're still a family.
I've not been around because I've been trying to earn a living so we can all have a better life.
I've messed up.
I know that.
But, I don't want you to hate me.
This should cover the shopping for a bit.
Get a present for Oscar, okay? This is for you.
And for me, a bit.
I'm giving the rest to the doctors so they take good care of mum.
Irene, come in.
But leave the Doberman outside.
You don't need a guard dog when you visit a friend.
Cyril, what is this? Oh, it's nothing.
Just the beginning of an idea.
How are you, Cyril? How am I? She's left me, Irene.
My wife has left me and taken my children.
It's mother's duty to protect her children.
Protect them form what? From me? I've never hurt my children! - Oh, I know that.
You just touch other people's children.
You are a paedophile.
Don't start talking to me like that.
-What's that? You always have the same questions.
The same stupid questions.
This is the end of my idea.
What the fuck are you doing here, anyway? Why have you come to piss me off in my own home? Oh, so you've come for that.
To stir up the mess we made in Africa and celebrate your husband's role? Give me the name of the bank and I will leave.
You really want those files, don't you? Bring down Fevre and the rest of the goverment, why don't you.
I have the key.
All I need is the bank's name, Cyril.
I don't rememeber it.
Put down the gun.
What's he doing here, Irene? Don't you understand, arsehole? Put down the gun.
Irene You surely aren't going to deprive me of my way out? Please Put your gun away, Jean-Baptiste.
Madam Put your gun away.
Are you still angry with me? What about your other feelings? My "other feelings"? When I met you, I thought I had been given another chance.
Now look at me - You've no obligations.
Stop right there.
I don't feel any obligation at all.
I wouldn't be here just for the baby.
But right now, I have a few things to sort out.
I made a promise Excuse me.
Vachewski, this is Marceau.
I'm at Central Crime Office.
- Okay.
I'm on my way.
I've got to go.
Hello, sir.
Could I see your driving licence, please? Is there a problem, officer? I don't know.
You've been parked here for ages.
We've had complaints.
Are you expecting someone.
- We were just talking.
You need tinted windows when you're having a chat, do you? Drive on, please.
Hey! You! Mr.
Vogel? - What the hell's this? I'm here about the four flat tyres.
- What? People have no respect these days.
Isn't that so, Roland? Here, this is for you.
You can pick it up tomorrow.
Have a good day.
Go inside before you catch cold.
- Fuck you.
I was going to offer you a lift, but if you must talk like that Belgian number plates and a posh suburban address.
Apparently so.
Okay, we'll park a bit further on.
I just know Caplan is a fugative on the wanted persons' list.
Why do you care? You no longer work here.
I'm close to the family on the police motorcyclist.
They want to know where the nvestigation is at.
All I can say is that the guilty parties will soon be caught.
How do you mean, "giulty parties"? I thought one was dead and the other was Caplan? We aren't sure that Caplan fired a shot.
Anyway, he'd be innocent until proven guilty.
Excuse me.
Hello? -Marceau, it's Vachewski.
I'm outside.
-Okay.
I'll be there now.
Shall I show you out? See you, J.
- B.
Who was that guy? - Which guy? Just tell me.
-Jean-Baptiste Dréan, Ex police.
He knew the policeman Merks killed.
He was asking about the case.
What did he want? - Info about Caplan.
What sort of info? - Slow down.
Théo! Why did you call me? - Don't you check your voicemail? I'm here now.
-I called Roxane last night and a guy picked up.
I tried again but it went to answer phone.
She's not called back and I don't have Caplan's number.
-I'll try him now.
Hello? -It's Théo.
Is Roxane with you? - She's next to me.
-Could I have a word? -It's Théo.
Hello, Théo.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
They just held me till Eddy and Walter delivered their money.
Where are you? -With Marceau.
He was worried about you.
I owe him one.
-Now what? - We're meeting Walter tomorrow.
Okay.
See you tomorrow then.
-See you.
I'll call you after I see them tomorrow.
Is that all? Could you be any more vague? Last time Caplan needed you you left him stranded.
We'll do it our way this time.
There's something cracking off over there, Eddy.
Postpone tommorow's interview to 12:30.
Savinien Fevre, my old friend.
Or is it still "General"? As you wish, José.
I'll call you "President" though.
These things never last long, so we might as well make the most of them.
Who is this young man, General? Antoine Bleuvenne, please meet President José Viriato Luisiadas.
"Bleuvenne"? Is there link with Henri and Irene Bleuvenne? I am their son, Mr.
President.
I was lucky enough to meet your father.
He was a very fine man.
- Thank you, Mr.
President.
I also lost my father when I was still a child.
However, unlike yours, mine was murdered.
By a tribal leader.
When I was grew old enough and strong enough, I went to find him.
And I killed him.
Luckily for you, Mr.
President, in the world we live in, business has more protection than human rights.
Leave us, Antoine.
- Of course, General.
Mr.
President.
- Mr.
Bleuvenne.
Okay, Savinien.
What do you want? I want to know? - What? In 1995, I stopped a commando unit killing you in your own palace.
The soldiers were supposed to be dead and buried.
Last week I came face to face with one of them in a police station.
It looks like someone on your side did not do their job.
I won't lie to you.
It's true On several occasions, I've considered calling you to warn you.
But as the soldiers in question seemed to have disappeared for good, I forgot about them.
No one leaves your dungeons alive.
Who helped them? - What does it matter? José, these men have come for revenge.
They've already killed Devink, pushed Kervaso to suicide and slit your Vice Consul's throat.
I am on their list too.
So for me, it fucking well does matter! You might as well ask who paid off Eduardo to get Colonel Dantin, Sergeant Luanda, Gaëtan Merks and Werner Blitch out of prison.
I never give names, Savinien.
All I can say that it was a respectable housewife whose son is on the other side of this wall.
Good evening.
The Belgians came with a case and left with nothing.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Now we know where Arifa got the money to pay for the ingots.
Do you remember Sarah Mizrahi? The girl who went to Tel Aviv and married to mafia hitman? Well anyway, she's dead.
-Did her husband -No, it's was her son.
And not only did he kill his mother, he killed his father too.
-Why? Sarah wanted to leave her huband for a diamond dealer.
Her husband was crazy with grief, and so was her son.
When her son tried reasoning with her, she slapped him.
The little schmuck, true to his father's genes, drew his gun and shot her.
The father, who was napping in the room next door, heard the shot and rushed in.
His son shot him on the spot.
Wow.
- Bloody hell.
And do you know why? His father had been teaching him the art of killing for several years.
And the one thing he really drummed into him was to never leave any witnesses.
Say what you will about the kid, but he certainly learned his lesson.
When you kill, you don't leave witnesses.
Not ever.
Not ever.
These false passes will give you access to my company's warehouses.
I see that my money has been well invested, Colonel.
Concerning the second phase of our operation, when do you intend to act? As soon as conditions allow, Madam.
- What do you mean by that? As I said: as soon as conditions allow.
Listen.
I've given you all the keys you need to rob me without human losses on your side.
You even have a mole, Mr.
Massmi.
What's the matter? Have the years finally caught up with you? Or did the Angolan torturers break you after all? I am just trying to limit the human cost.
It is precisely to avoid melodramas like this that I am letting you send in Caplan's team first.
His record as a bent cop makes him the perfect scapegoat.
You, on the other hand, will be on a plane out of here, free and disgustingly rich.
You have 48 hours to steal this weapon and deliver it to Mr.
Drean.
Hello? - Caplan, it's Dantin speaking.
I need to see you immediately.
You'll find me at the Empyrée.
Put them on the table.
Who ordered Margarita? There.
It's finished now.
Until now, Caplan has been above board.
He's motivated only by the money he'll earn for this mission.
That's all he cares about now.
But he and his men don't seem to be overcome by greed.
Roxane Delgado agreed to be a hostage no questions asked.
If you reasoning is correct, Sergeant, why would Caplan accept a job that puts them all in danger? If he is as you say, 500 million euros is reason enoug.
? Caplan and co get 300,000 euros for being middlemen.
Don't you think the extra 200,000 euros is chickenfeed in comparison? Do you mean -All I mean to say is that I still don't really know who Caplan is.
My name is Roland.
What's yours? Béatrice.
Tell me, Béatrice, do you have long blond hair like on the website? I think I can arrange it for you, Roland.
-What size are you feet? Size 7 stiletto heels.
Do you like stilettos? -I love them.
How tall are you? - 1,75 m, 60 kilos.
You're curious, aren't you.
Maybe I should ask the size of your tool.
My tool? When it comes out, Rocco Siffredi hides his in shame.
You're funny, Roland.
I like men with a sense of humour.
So, Béatrice, what do you charge for a three hour visit? 700 euros.
But as you're a cool guy, I'll give you a discount.
500 euros.
But don't tell anyone.
It would only make people jealous.
That's kind, Béatrice.
Shall we say 8:00pm at my place? Who are all these people? The brothers, mothers and sisters of everyone who died in Angola.
The Colonel wanted to pay his respects and return the one thing you don't leave on a soldier who dies at war: his ID tag.
Plus a bit of compensation? Did you find out anything about the black car parked outside? I don't know enoughyet to take any action.
Do what you must before the Colonel decides to act.
Do you know why he wants to see me? Don't worry.
He shouldn't be long.
I am Colonel Aymeric Gauthier Dantin, I am the officer who led your sons and brothers, my men, in their final acts in his life.
I feel shame and sadness as I stand before you.
I wish I had the words to relieve the pain of their absence, bit I don't.
My head has been full of such words for the past 15 years, but they have never offered me any comfort.
They were your flesh and blood, and I was just a comrade-in-arms whose orders they followed.
At the end of the day, I was not able to bring them home.
Not a night goes by without their faces and voices coming back to haunt me.
All I wait for each day is for night to fall, so I can be with them again.
Before the darkness engulfs me for good, I wanted to meet you I wanted to pay homage to the best soldiers an officer can have.
Thank you.
Is Caplan here? - He's waiting through there.
President José Viriato Luisiadas is in Paris as part of a cooperation agreement between France and Angola.
President Luisiadas is expected to sign several contracts concerning the exploation of oil fiels.
in the Cabinda province - Come in.
regularly attacked by the Iberation front rebellion.
I spoke to President Luisadas last night.
He levelled some serious accusations at you, Mrs.
Bleuvenne.
Do you believe a man capable of walking on his mother's stomach so he can rape his own sister.
He accused you of bribing a certain Eduardo Fernandez back in 1995 to enable the French soldiers in his prison to escape.
There is proof that your husband was involved in the attempted coup in Angola.
This proof could bring down many people in high places.
You should have produced it instead of putting a bomb on his plane.
To my eternal regret, I was unaware he was on board when I detonated it.
There is also a very detailed file about you.
I'd just love to read it.
Mrs.
Bleuvenne.
I know you have the key to the safe.
Now you need the name of the bank.
Don't expect me to tell you.
I visited Kervaso not long before he committed suicide.
He told me all I needed to know.
General, something tells me that my husband will soon be avenged.
Though as far as I'm concerned you already are dead.
Do you hear everything? - Yes.
I've got something to tell you, too.
-About what? Eddy Caplan.
We go in tonight, Mr.
Caplan.
Take Walter Morlighem with you and leave Roxane Delgado out of it.
Why? Don't you need a guarantee this time? You and Morlighem are my guarantees.
The operation is simple: you go in, get the weapon, bring it out, and get your 500,000 euros.
What happens when we've delivered the weapon to you? What you do next is nothing to do with me, Mr.
Caplan.
If you want, you can leave on the plane with us.
What do you say? I'll tell you when the time comes.
-11:00 tonight.
I'll give you all the details for the operation.
Thanks.
Right.
It's just the three of us on this job.
Walter and me on the surface, Théo under cover.
What about me? - Stay on the sidelines.
But not totally.
Go with Marceau to Fevre's office.
Wait there for Théo to call and give the signal.
-A call? If it goes smoothly, we'll have Dantin and co in our sights and you on the other end of the line.
We deliver the Invisibles to Fevre.
With you and Marceau present, Fevre won't be able to get rid of us.
He'll have to admit the infiltration's worked and acknowledge our rights, whether he likes it or not.
As you know, Bleuvenne Industries is a secure site.
The weapon is in this warehouse.
There are two armed guards inside.
When you get to the guardroom, our man will let you in.
You'll park the lorry next to the warehouse.
Before typing the last number to open the door.
Then, detonate the explosive charge that will destroy the lorry and wall.
The guards will be dead or too stunned to guard the weapon.
What's this? - A small problem.
Really? What kind? Ten armed guards in a partol vehicle, with orders to shoot on sight.
I take it you have a solution? - Werner Blitch will be here.
He'll keep the guards busy, but he won't be able to hold out for long.
You and Morlighem will need to act fast.
Very fast.
Gentlemen, this job is worth 500,000 euros.
You know what they say, Colonel: "The dead have no use for money.
" Excuse me.
Hello? -Caplan is an infiltrator, Colonel.
He's with Interior Intelligence.
In other words, Genéral Fevre.
Are you sure? -100%.
He is also the man who killed Gaëtan Merks.
The word you're looking for, Colonel, is "Priority".
Caplan will bring you the weapon, and what you do next is up to you.
Are we on the same page? - Absolutely.
Well, Mr.
Caplan, I hope you're not having second thoughts? What do you think, Colonel? Sergeant.
Sort out the rest of the preparations with them.
Werner? - Yes, Colonel? When you have the weapon and have left Bleuvenne Industries.
Kill them.
- Understood, Colonel.
Do you know how it works? - Don't worry.
This will get you through the door.
Is something wrong, Colonel? - Nothing at all, Sergeant.
Absolutely nothing.
Hello? - I'm in position with Rocky.
Are you with Marceau? - Yes.
Put it on loudspeaker.
Marceau, did Roxane brief you? - Yes.
Can't say I'm surprised.
When Eddy calls you on Rox's mobile, you have to be with Fevre.
This way, he won't be able to screw us.
He'll have to admit we succeeded.
He's head of Interior Intelligence.
I can' keep him all night.
No ifs and buts.
Keep him there as long as it takes.
Okay, but you'd better call.
Don't mess this up.
Marceau! -J.
- B.
? What are you doing here?
