When the boss retaliates by kidnapping his sister, Lola, a rescue attempt by Leïto is destroyed by betrayal that gets him arrested and Lola kept in the clutches in Taha. Six months later, a crackerjack undercover cop named Damien is given a urgent mission: a neutron bomb has been stolen by Taha in District B13 which has an automatic timer function engaged and set to detonate in less than 24 hours. Now with time running out, Damien and Leïto must work together to find and stop the bomb, but there is far more to this crisis than any of the field players realize.

K2: I must have an effect on you fags, eh? I step out of my car and you already sprang your trap.

K2: You go up the stairs, I'll take the elevator. For once it's not broken.

K2: Whoa! What are you trying to do? Get me killed? Alive, remember? Taha wants him alive.

Taha: So. Which one of you has a suggestion for me, so he doesn't slip away again? [Thus shaking their heads] [Shoots the first through third thugs]::K2: Wait! I - I got an idea.::Taha: Ah, K2. That's great. Go on...::K2: Well, since it was Leito who dumped all the dope then he has to give us the cash for it.::Taha: That's just common sense; I asked you for an idea. [Aims the gun again]::K2: Wait! Hold on.::Taha: Go on.::K2: His sister Lola, Leiton's sister works at the supermarket.

Damien: But it will kill millions.::Taha: Ah, but they should have thought of that when they made it, for example, eh?

Damien: You really think the government would kill two million people just for having a few problems?::Leïto: Six million died for not having blonde hair and blue eyes.

Leïto: [encountering Yeti] Taha left us a present::Damien: Well let's go and unwrap it then

Gunman: You're now broke? You can't pay us no more? [aims his gun at Taha]::Taha: [Taha tries to fire his gun but is out of bullets] [His last defiant lines] Bunch of slimy motherfuckers [His own followers proceed to riddle him with multiple gunshots as he pretends to fire on them with his hands]
