Un flic (; also known as Dirty Money) is a 1972 Franco-Italian crime film, the last directed by Jean-Pierre Melville before his death the following year. It stars Alain Delon, Richard Crenna, and Catherine Deneuve. Delon had previously played a criminal in Melville's Le Samouraï (1967) and Le Cercle Rouge (1970), but in Un Flic his role is reversed, and he plays the title character. Plot On a rainy winter day in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, France, Simon and his four-man crew rob a bank. Marc Albouis and Paul Weber come inside with Simon, while Louis Costa, the getaway driver, waits outside. As they are about to leave, the teller sets off the alarm and shoots Marc, who shoots and kills the teller. The crew manages to escape with a bag of money and drives back to Paris, where they put Marc in a private clinic under the name "Schmidt". Commissaire Edouard Coleman spends his nights driving around Paris from crime scene to crime scene. He also meets with his informants, such as Gaby, a transgender prostitute who is currently feeding him information about an upcoming drug shipment that involves one of her clients. Edouard goes to the nightclub Simon owns just after it closes for the night and plays the piano while Simon's girlfriend, Cathy, watches and the employees clean up. Simon gets back from Saint-Jean-de-Monts, and Edouard greets him with a friendly look before getting called away by his partner, Inspector Morand. Deciding they have to get Marc out of the clinic before the police search the facility, Simon, Louis, and Paul get an ambulance and make fake transfer paperwork. A nurse says Marc is too sick to be moved and will not release him to them, however, so they send Cathy into his room dressed as a nurse, and she injects air into his IV, causing a fatal embolism. Edouard catches the case of trying to figure out the true identity of "Schmidt", but he does not expect to succeed. He meets Cathy in a hotel room for a tryst and, when she asks if he thinks Simon suspects anything, says he thinks Simon has always known about their affair. It turns out Simon only robbed the bank to fund his plan to steal a shipment of heroin, which just so happens to be the same shipment Edouard hopes to intercept.
