MEXICO.

Very early this morning, Krist goes to do his sport. He wears headphones to show that he is listening to music but in reality he is calling Commander Nero.

Nero: Hello Krist.

Krist: Hello Commander! I have a good new.

Leon: I’m listening to you.

Krist: Last night Gordjo received a call from Mando and it looks like Mando will be coming in person with the next shipment of drugs.

Leon: are you serious?

Krist: yes, Gordjo told me in person.

Léon: This is our only chance to put an end to this cartel once and for all.

Krist: yes commander. You must not miss this shot.

Léon: oh no. Thank you Krist, thank you for this sacrifice and this great risk that you are taking.

Krist: I do it for myself and for my family. I want to find her when all the problems are gone and Gordjo and Mando are the roots of my evils, Gauthier is the trunk, the prison director and my wife’s husband are the branches, my father-in-law is the branches. leaves.

Léon: you’re going to get there Krist, you’re going to get there.

Krist: Thank you Commander. Have a nice day.

Léon: thank you, same to you.

After sports, he goes to take a shower and joins Gordjo for breakfast.

Krist: How about we start again with the other business?

Gordjo: boxing?

Krist: Yes.

Gordjo: do you miss it, han?

Krist: yes a little, but above all I want to make money.

Gordjo: don’t worry, we’ll get back into it very soon.

CLCD.

Following Samuel’s call yesterday, Commander Nero goes to the cell to find out what is going on. He arrives in the director’s office who presents him with a box. Nero opens and sees his badge and his weapon. He looks at Samuel.

Samuel: you are rehabilitated, commander, you can return to your job and your post.

Nero: how…?

Samuel: I spoke to the governor and explained to him the merits of your action. I should have trusted you Commander.

Nero: I thank you for your gesture but it’s not worth it. Besides, I myself was planning to hang up very soon. I will give you the information and help you stop this drug trade but working here is good for me.

Samuel: is it because of me?

Nero: no, not at all. It’s just that I’ve lasted too long here and I would like to change the atmosphere a little.

Samuel: ok, I will talk to the governor in that case.

Nero: Well, have a good day.

Nero leaves and goes to his private workplace.

DOTTAN.

Home of Clotaire.

Very early this morning, Commander Léon goes to Clotaire. He knocks and he opens his eyes still full of sleep.

Léon: hello young man.

Clotaire: who are you, why are you stopping me from sleeping?

Léon: I would like to talk to you about your friend, Corneille.

Clotaire: he is in prison so I don’t know what you want me to tell you about him.

Léon comes in and grabs him by the collars.

Léon: you’re not going to make me believe that you don’t know about his escape from prison?

Clotaire: ah yes, Corneille is out, that’s good news.

Leon: tell me where I can find it.

Clotaire: I don’t know where he is.

The commander loads his weapon and points it at him.

Clotaire: ask Nathan, he’s his best friend, there’s nothing about his life that he doesn’t know.

Léon: where can I find this Nathan?

He gives him his address and leaves. Clotaire calls Corneille to inform him.

Corn: yes Clotaire!

Clotaire: be careful Corneille, there is a very angry guy looking for you.

Corn: What did you say to him?

Clotaire: I gave him Nathan’s address, he was going to kill me, I’m sorry.

Corneille: It’s okay, he can’t do anything against me. Besides, he will never find Nathan, I will inform him.

Cornelius calls Nathan.

Nathan: Cornelius?

Corn: yes it’s me.

Nathan: aren’t you in prison?

Corn: Not anymore. I’ve been trying to contact you for a few days to no avail. Where were you ?

Nathan: I was out of town. I was on a mission. How did you get out?

Corn: I don’t have time to explain. Commander Léon is looking for you so he will certainly head towards your house. If you are at home, please leave immediately.

Nathan: why is he looking for me?

Corn: It’s me he’s looking for so he goes through my friends. Please leave your house immediately.

Nathan: Alright, I’m going out.

Nathan’s home.

Commander Léon arrives at Nathan’s house and sees him leaving his house. Nathan sees it too and starts to run away. He chases him in his car. Nathan turns into a corridor inaccessible to the car so he goes down to pursue him on foot but he was unable to find him. So Nathan escaped. He was hidden and he sees the commander leaving. After leaving, Nathan returns home to get ready for work.

Corneille’s home.

After preparing breakfast, Corneille brings the meal to Delphine and her daughter’s room.

Corneille: hello my darlings. So, did you have a nice night?

Delphine: my husband will make you pay for what you do.

Corneille: no, it’s me who will make him pay. As long as you’re here, he’ll do anything I ask him to do. To go to eat. And if you want to pee or poop, here’s a potty that belonged to my grandmother, use it! Good day.

He closes the door on them and leaves. After he leaves, Delphine and her daughter eat.

Gloria: Mom, I have to go to school.

Delphine: I know my darling, we will be home soon and you will go to school.

Gloria: when will daddy come?

Delphine: very soon my darling, don’t worry.

After the meal, she pulls the table to the window and climbs onto it. She opens to look but they are on the second level of the floor, impossible to get out of the window.

Gloria: Mom, can we go out?

Delphine: no my darling, but I promise you that we won’t spend the night here again.

Anti-drug squad.

Back at home, Commander Léon tries to reproduce Nathan’s image in a drawing. He spent several minutes there and managed to get a roughly similar image. So he goes to the brigade with this drawing. He meets Commander Boris.

Boris: hello commander!

Léon: hello, I have a lead on the kidnapping of my family. This man probably knows where she is being held. Given the state of the machines, I don’t know if Marlène can find a match.

Boris: ok, go see her, maybe she could find out who knows.

So he joins Marlène.

Léon: hello Marlène.

Marlene: hello commander.

Leon: I need your help. I need to know who this person is.

Marlene: ok, it’ll take a while. I’ll call you when it’s ready.

Léon: thank you Marlène.

The commander returns home. Once home, he receives a call from Corneille.

Leon: what do you want?

Corneille: take the remaining bag of drugs and go to the address I just sent you by SMS.

He takes the bag of drugs and goes to the address. It’s a convenience store.

Mini-market.

Léon: I’m there, what now?

Corn: Come in and force this man to take the drugs, then hide the rest in his convenience store.

Leon: why are you doing that?

Corn: Execution!

Léon enters the convenience store.

Léon: hello sir.

Theodore: hello.

Léon: excuse me, do you know a certain Corneille?

Théodore: Corneille, ah, he was my friend. I thought he was a better person but one day I found out he was selling drugs. I didn’t believe it and then one day he came to see me with a bag full of bags of drugs. He told me to sell it to him. I didn’t agree but he insisted so I took but when he left. I burned the drugs with the bag. He came back the next day and I taught him what I did. He was angry with me, he had made so many threats to me but that very night, the anti-drug squad arrested him and he is in prison.

Léon: so he was so angry with you.

Theodore: yes, if he hadn’t been arrested, I don’t know what he would have done to me.

Leon: ok thank you.

Leon leaves. Corneille observed him. Leon calls him.

Leon: it’s done!

Corn: Don’t take advantage of my kindness, Commander. Go back and do what I tell you, otherwise you know what will happen.

Léon leaves and enters the convenience store. He points his gun at Theodore and forces him to close the door. Then he forces her to take the drugs and then hides the rest among his goods.

Meanwhile, Corneille makes an anonymous call to the brigade.

Marlène: anti-drug squad listening.

Corneille: come very quickly to (address), I saw a man who was taking drugs, I think he is hiding drugs in his convenience store.

Marlène: ok, we will intervene immediately!

Marlene informs the commander who instructs John and Kevin to go and see. In the meantime, Commander Léon leaves Théodore in a bad state because the drugs were harmful to him. He warns Cornelius that it is done and he leaves, regretting what he had done but he had no choice. After his departure, the brigade arrives and arrests Théodore. They then search his convenience store and find the bag of drugs. They close his convenience store and take him to the brigade. They take him straight to the infirmary for detoxification.
