A Gang Story Page #2

Synopsis: After growing up in a poor gypsy camp, Edmond Vidal, aka Momon, has retained a sense of family, unfailing loyalty and pride in his origins. Most of all, he has remained friends with Serge Suttel, with whom he first discovered prison life - for stealing cherries. The two of them inevitably got involved in organized crime. The team they formed, the Gang Des Lyonnais, made them the most notorious armed robbers of the early 1970s. Their irresistible rise ended in 1974 with a spectacular arrest. Today, as he nears 60, Momon would like to forget that part of his life. He has found peace by retiring from the "business". He tends to his wife Janou, who suffered so in the past, and to his children and grandchildren, all of whom have great respect for this man of simple and universal values, so clear-headed and full of kindness. But then Serge Suttel, who has disowned nothing of his past, comes back into the picture.

The good news is he'll be in solitary,

watched day and night.

With guards

to hold his cock when he pees.

The bad news is

he'll go nuts in no time at all.

When's he being moved?

No, Christo. We discarded that.

Cops can outgun us oldies.

And I promised Janou.

We can do it.

Who are you?

We did the Aix Casino heist.

We've teamed up.

They'll do it for you.

Well, Momon?

It's dumb.

If you don't have the balls,

we'll do it.

Speaking of balls, Carlo...

Mine are where they belong.

I don't use them

to beat up my woman.

Cut it out, Momon!

Leave him alone.

Stay out of it!

- That'll do!

You hit Lilou again,

I'll bury you alive!

Got that?

You got that?

That'll do, Momon.

Vincent!

Get me a rag.

When can we see your guys?

When you want.

- I want.

We're ready Sunday 28th.

Get moved to Emergency.

Our pal's leaving the house,

headed midtown.

He just passed us.

Headed for you, Chief.

I got him.

Entering Jaurs Ave.

I stick on his ass to Sablons.

Roger, 6.

Command to all.

They're coming out.

Let us do our job.

We'll advise you when he's due out.

Wait there.

Command to Biker,

he'll be driving by.

Roger.

He still on our ass?

- Yeah.

What the f***'s all this?

What they up to?

Trying to shaft us.

Park your ass.

Can I go pee?

Sure.

Your badge?

- We're cops, too.

Your badge!

Move!

Your gun! Get down!

Get down!

Sh*t, get down!

Hey! You two!

F*** off! !

Hit the deck!

Your gun!

Freeze!

Let's split!

I wasn't there, Janou.

The cop who died

was a mother of two.

One's your grandson's age.

It was on TV all night.

I wasn't there.

I farmed out the job. Big mistake.

I did 30 months in jail for you.

Because I loved you.

Seemed normal.

Now I don't know what's normal.

It's doing what you have to,

whatever the risks.

Will that help me sleep?

If I hadn't acted,

I'd have been sleepless for life.

Thinking of Serge in the pen.

F*** Serge!

I think of our kids.

Of our life before

he came back to screw it up.

You miss prison that much?

Cut it out, go to bed.

Sure.

Hey, bro!

You OK?

Welcome back.

Your pal's better.

The doc fixed him up.

Here's your dough!

Now scram!

Out of my sight!

Where to? Every cop's after us.

I know a place for you, Carlo.

Where no one I'll find you.

You heard Momon?

Get lost!

Scram!

What'll you tell Lilou?

That her troubles are over.

Momon?

When youd get out?

- 3 weeks ago.

You doing fine?

I'm getting by.

What's your racket?

Break-ins, car thefts...

Whatever.

I got jobs for you.

Interested?

Depends.

Monday, be at the Caf Parisien.

Come, it's up to you.

Jean Dauger's gang are big time.

He's a top mobster.

But there's rules:

You into politics?
