Squad 36

In Paris, the Anti-Squad tails Mahmoudi as he leaves a café and moves through the metro and streets. A dramatic chase unfolds with cars and motorcycles, but Antoine hesitant to arrest him because Mahmoudi could open fire in a crowded area. The operation ends without a capture, focusing on surveillance rather than an immediate arrest.

After his shift, Antoine visits Marcus's illegal fighting den, despite Hanna's warnings. He fights and wins in the ring, but is then surrounded by rivals who want to teach him a lesson. He defends himself and leaves with the incident drawing scrutiny from his superiors, leading to a disciplinary review.

The very next day, Antoine is transferred to the Bobigny Anti-Squad rather than being suspended. He starts working with a unit dedicated to taking down criminal gangs, marking a new phase in his policing career. The change brings new pressures and expectations at a different station.

Six months after the transfer, Antoine learns that former teammate Vinny has been murdered and Walid's body is found in the area under his current jurisdiction. The killings suggest a targeted threat to the Anti-Squad and rekindle Antoine's interest in the broader conspiracy. The mystery deepens as more colleagues fall victim.

Sofia, the wife of ex-colleague Richard Esteves, comes to Antoine for help locating him. He learns Richard suffered anxiety after a botched off-the-books mission and had checked into a rehabilitation clinic. The investigation hints at dangers extending beyond individuals to the families of the squad and a wider criminal network.

Antoine tracks down Kristina, who may know Richard's whereabouts, and steals 5,000 euros from the police evidence room to pay her. Kristina is killed by a masked attacker, and Antoine narrowly escapes the ambush. The incident underscores how deeply the line between police and criminals has blurred.

Hanna is shot on her bike as a warning to Antoine to drop the case. Wagner later confirms the shots used the same gun as Richard's, deepening Antoine's suspicions about Richard's innocence. The Anti-Squad begins to fracture as loyalties shift between the bosses and the field officers.

Sami forges a dangerous alliance with Mahmoudi, while the squad plans to steal two million euros from the drug gang. The operation spirals out of control when Richard kills Mahmoudi's nephew Ichem, turning Mahmoudi against the squad. Paranoia and fear spread as the money and loyalty become a liability.

Richard struggles with the consequences of the botched mission and tells his wife what happened, prompting a cover-up. Sami executes Richard and Sofia to prevent exposure, escalating the fear and worsening the collapse of the Anti-Squad. The murder consolidates the sense that the truth is being kept hidden.

Mahmoudi arrives at Sami's house, injuring Sami's wife and searching for the stolen money. Antoine intervenes, and Charles Balestra arrives to end Mahmoudi's threat by shooting him. Sami, already gravely wounded, takes his own life rather than face justice.

Antoine uncovers that Charles and Wagner are orchestrating the cover-up and have diverted the stolen money for themselves. Before he can reveal the truth publicly, Charles and Wagner act to silence him. The investigation edges toward a fatal confrontation with the corrupt hierarchy.

Antoine Cerda is murdered by a fighter tied to the criminal network he opposed. He is posthumously promoted to police commissioner, honoring his bravery. The department publicly blames Mahmoudi for the murders, but the deeper corruption remains hidden from the public eye.
