Best scene of the 2018 movie starring Vincent Cassel as Vidocq.
1805, The Consul Bonaparte, was recently anointed as Emperor. He wishes to consolidate the revolution ideals and also maintain the territorial integrity of the Republic. The entirety of Europe fears the contagion of republican ideals, and the ambition of the "Emperor of the French Republic".
During those times of uncertainty, an ex-convict named Eugène François Vidocq, will forge his legend in the streets of Paris, becoming known later on, as the first police detective, the man who wrote the book, methods and techniques, with dealing with the criminal underworld & maintaining a relative peace in that century (search: "the court of miracles").
In the scene, Vidocq and his two partners (one is a local cop who tried to bust Vidocq in the past, the other a Hussar military veteran, who's son was killed by the recently self-appointed criminal ring leader, seeking vengeance) are trying to capture or kill a man, he knew during his past criminal life sentence.
