When they return the car, the hairdresser confronts them with a gun. Attempting to flee, Pierrot is shot in the groin. Jean-Claude disarms the hairdresser and grabs his pistol as well as his female assistant, Marie-Ange. The three flee in the hairdresser's car. Not wanting to risk arrest by going to a hospital, they break into the home of a local doctor and force him to treat Pierrot's wound, then rob him of all his cash. The trio then drive to a chop-shop outside of Paris. Jean-Claude offers Marie-Ange to the owner as payment for his services. The chop-shop owner rapes Marie-Ange, and is disappointed to discover that she doesn't mind being used as a sex object and doesn't fight back. Nonetheless, he agrees to sabotage the hairdresser's car so that, after they return it to the hairdresser, he will have a fatal accident. They return the car and drop off Marie-Ange, then go on the run.
