"Taxi 3": the plot of the picture
What events in the film unfold this time? On New Year's Eve, Marseille’s police are heavily occupied by a new gang of criminals dressed in Santa Claus costumes. These guys often visit the banks of the city for the purpose of robbery. The already familiar police officer Emelain is working on their capture. Moreover, she is invested in the work so much that she does not even notice the pregnancy of her beloved girlfriend Petra, despite the fact that she has already tried many times to hint to him. And what hints can we talk about? The girl is already in the eighth month, how can this not be noticed?
At the same time, not everything is going smoothly on Daniel’s personal front. Lily decides to leave him, because the young man devotes all his free time not to her, but to the car! And really, who will tolerate this? But the next morning after parting, Danielle finds a pregnancy test in his bathroom with a positive result. Of course, he immediately rushes to Lily to find out everything, but she still can not forgive him.
At this time, the pretty journalist Kiu, who he safely trusts all the secrets of the operation, rubbed into the trust in Commissioner Giber. He was so inattentive that he allowed the spy to get into his computer and copy all the “passwords and appearances” from there.
Of course, in “Taxi 3,” the friendship between Emelen and Daniel did not disappear anywhere, and the reckless taxi driver again helped the policeman to capture the criminals. They tracked down the gang, but Emelen fell directly into their hands. The leader of the gang was the very attractive journalist Kiu, who, after capturing the hostage, tortured him for a long time in a very interesting way.
