François et René forment une équipe de ripoux depuis déjà 5 ans quand François, qui envisage de passer l'examen de commissaire, souhaite redevenir honnête. Mais lorsqu'il remet à une boutiquière volée l'argent dérobé, celle-ci, en raison d'une vieille rancune envers René, les accuse aussitôt du forfait. Les deux flics sont alors suspendus et remplacés par les inspecteurs Brisson et Portal, censés être de véritables modèles d'intégrité. Mais les apparences sont trompeuses.

Comme il le souhaitait dès l'époque de sa rencontre avec René Boirond, François Lesbuche est devenu commissaire à l'IGS, là où lui et René avaient été embauchés à la fin du deuxième opus. Malgré son grade et sa volonté d'être incorruptible, il n'hésite pas à rejouer les ripoux pour aider son vieil ami René, retraité reclus sur sa péniche. Impliqué bien malgré lui dans une affaire de blanchiment d'argent, René qui a accidentellement perdu le magot qui lui avait été confié est poursuivi par les commerçants chinois de Belleville. Avec l'aide d'un ami chirurgien, Albert, René change d'identité et devient Jean Morzini, un patient de la clinique d'Albert récemment décédé. Il reçoit alors la visite d'une certaine Maud qui lui remet les instructions pour le casse d'une banque que Morzini avait prévu de cambrioler ; et de la fille du vrai Morzini, Marie, qui n'avait jamais vu son père et croit que c'est René. Simultanément, François prend sous sa tutelle un jeune stagiaire, Julien, filleul de son patron, qui s'éprend de Marie.

Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a CIA case officer in Iraq, tracking a terrorist called Al-Saleem (Alon Abutbul). He meets Nizar, a member of the terrorist organization who is prepared to offer information in return for asylum in America. Despite his boss Ed Hoffman's (Russell Crowe) objections, Ferris agrees to shelter Nizar. Nizar is used as a pawn to draw out the rest of his cell; when he is captured, Ferris is forced to shoot him to prevent him from exposing Ferris' identity. Furious at Hoffman's refusal to act on the information Nizar provided, Ferris and his associate Bassam (Oscar Isaac) go to search a safehouse in Balad, Iraq, of which Nizar had told them. There, Ferris observes men burning records and attempts to bluff his way in, but is exposed. In the ensuing shootout and chase, Ferris and Bassam's vehicle is hit by an RPG. Ferris and some salvaged discs are rescued by helicopter but Bassam is killed in the explosion.
