Fucking city!
Huffy, Ben!
You OK in back?
I don't know!
Messed up like that,
she had no chance.
Know where to go?
- Yeah.
Thomas isn't here?
I waited an hour outside his place.
Who knows what he's up to?
It's not like him.
How was the flight?
You could've put me in First.
- I know.
The shoot going well?
It will now.
Let's go.
Come on.
Here, press on it with this for now.
I need Mr Pelletier's file, please.
Thanks.
Is the medication working?
If you're seeing pink elephants,
it's normal.
I didn't forget, Mrs Jodoin.
I know you'd prefer gin,
but for tonight it's water.
Just a sip, easy does it.
That's it.
I'll be back later.
It's me.
I just landed.
I'm with Robert.
I hoped you'd be there.
It's been three years.
Anyway- '-
I left dinner tomorrow
open for your birthday.
Just you and me.
Don't let me down.
I miss you.
Don't hang up!
I know it's over but...
I need you.
I can't be alone.
Not tonight.
No, don't hang up.
Do you have the form?
- Yeah.
Can you take her?
We're so understaffed.
Marie, darling,
you know that's not allowed.
Look, chubby.
Half my staff were axed.
So, here are the keys.
And there's the elevator.
Just 'cause you're sexy.
- Save it for your wife.
Have you finished your show?
Take it easy.
Hey, Thomas!
What's up?
You're alone?
Long Story.
The gang from Architecture's here.
Help yourself to whatever.
You're hereto have fun.
Don't leave without saying goodbye.
Isn't your mom flying in tonight?
You OK?
You done, Marie?
I'm pulling a double.
- Oh boy!
How many this week?
Beats being at home alone.
Go to bed. You look like hell.
You're right.
Thanks.
The baby hasn't slept all night.
He's not better?
Want a lift?
Nah, go see your kid.
See you tomorrow...
Yeah.
- See you.
G'night.
Hi.
It's Pierre.
Kiss me.
Kiss me!
I never thought you'd call.
You say that every time.
Want me to stay a while?
You sure?
Leave.
I feel like a whore
when you do that.
This can't go on.
You know...
For you, I'd leave him.
I love you, Pierre.
If you love me at all,
don't call again.
Hello, Mrs Santerre.
ls my son there?
Yes, I know it's early.
Is he sleeping
or he won't talk to me?
I can't take him back, I've no room.
And with the hours I work...
I have to go.
OK, thanks.
Attention, code pink, room 082.
Code pink, room 082.
Leave.
I never want to see you again.
Since when do you decide?
Go back to your wife.
This time I'll call the press.
You can forget your cabinet post.
You have just as much to lose.
If I fall,
I'll take you down too...
- Let go!
Or else what?
No, please!
Get off!
Get off!
I'm thirsty.
What's holding me back?
I know what.
See you soon.
Cut!
Good. Change scenes.
We'll reload and move on
to the next scene.
We really had to start there?
The hardest
and most personal, always.
You hoped I'd changed?
As perverse as ever.
ls it the scene?
What's wrong?
The scene, the script.
All the details.
You promised to keep a distance.
I thought I did.
I'm worried about Thomas.
Did he call you?
I sent him the studio address.
He can be such a pain!
Alright, get a grip-
I need some air.
Mme Bernard?
We need to do another fitting.
Five minutes.
Marie?
Marie?
- Yes.
Two ambulances coming.
A fire, multiple bum victims.
Want a coffee?
And the day shift?
They'll be short.
Is it always like this?
My boyfriend will leave me.
Thanks.
Shit, they're here already.
Let's get it over with.
Hello.
It's Lorraine Aubert.
I must see you. As soon as possible.
Like the last time. Alright.
Cut! It's a take!
OK, prepare the set for scene 69.
Closed set, everyone!
Where were you?
Hold me tight.
Hi, Robert.
What's up, Thomas?
Couldn't you have called?
I waited an hour yesterday.
Well? You owe me an explanation.
Don't act as if you're my father.
10 years in the same house.
That's enough, you two.
Don't start up.
I've barely arrived.
Don't you have work?
Be nicer with Robert.
I'm working because of him.
He gets on my nerves.
He's shooting here
so I can be near you.
There's always a price.
Didn't we live
on Paradise Boulevard?
He probably stole it.
What's the story this time?
Robert's made the same film
for 20 years, so...
Rich people who fuck and fight?
You see?
We're ready.
Two minutes, thanks.
And for your birthday gift?
The name of my father.
Mom, it's ridiculous.
You wore that haircut
when I was a kid.
See you tonight.
I love you too.
I can't wait for my shift to end.
Silly!
No way, somebody might come in.
A selfie from the john
would be faster.
Two minutes, no more.
First I unzip your jeans.
You're already hard.
I touch it.
We kiss.
OK, I'll hurry up.
I'm in my blue dress.
I'm not wearing panties.
I feel it come inside me.
It's big.
You like me saying it's big.
Can you feel me?
'Cause I feel you so deep.
Your break's over, sweetie.
And?
Still feel it?
Attention, code blue...
Can you take that?
I'll be code blue next.
Sure.
- Thanks.
What's going on?
Didn't you find my note?
No.
Can I come in?
Stupid of me!
Forget it.
- No, wait.
Hold on.
OK, come in.
No, stop.
Don't think about it.
Are you hereto have fun or to mope?
The great European actress
Sophie Bernard
is shooting in Montreal.
It's not every day we host
an artist of her caliber.
Tell me, Mme Bernard.
Do you enjoy Montreal?
I adore it.
- Yes?
Old Montreal is magnificent.
The restaurants are...
You eat so we!!!
And the people are very open and...
Mom, it's me.
I hope you're OK.
Wish you'd call.
Bye.
You OK?
I'll feel better after.
Do you have the money?
Yes.
Good.
Lie down.
You know the risks?
Too well, yes.
Whatever happens,
I was never here. We never met.
Do we agree?
Yes.
Good.
There'll be
a slight discomfort at first.
A burning sensation.
Spread your legs.
Breathe.
Soon you'll feel nothing.
Just relax.
No!
It may be too late.
Stop, please.
Christ! Did you get any sleep?
You look even worse.
What about you?
Yeah, the kid keeps coughing.
Could you drive?
- No!You know I hate it.
I never ask for anything.
Just tonight.
You OK?
- Yeah, fine.
Sure?
- Yea h, get off my case!
Don't take it out on me.
Jeez!
When will you come home?
I graduate this winter.
But I don't know if I'll come back.
Thomas, you promised.
And architecturally,
there are better cities to live in.
Surely you agree.
Her ladyship the duchess has spoken.
It's here.
Is it Mathieu?
No, there's no more Mathieu.
Really?
With guys, we don't have the knack.
Fifth.
You like being away from me.
For the moment, yes.
Was I that bad?
You made your choices.
It's not that simple.
Hello, Mme Bernard.
- Hello.
Please follow me.
Thank you.
Come on! You look like
a Christmas tree.
Discretion be damned.
You don't like it?
I bought it for you.
- For them, you mean.
Madame...
Thank you.
Champagne, please.
- Of course.
What are you doing?
Be right back.
No, Mom. Please!
God!
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
Thanks for your welcome.
Tonight is my son's birthday.
I know he's dying of shame.
I'd have killed my mother for it.
When I was pregnant
I often listened to this song.
It's for you.
Thank you.
No wonder you're overweight.
This isn't the army,
Captain Discipline.
What would you know?
Christ, think you're so much better?
Stoned on your pills since how long?
3 months' sick leave.
Shut the fuck up!
I didn't start it.
Central to 97-179717.
9717, 10-1.
You have a priority 1 call,
Male, age 22. 10-35, 10-17.
9717, 10-4. On our way.
Great.
Another cyclist run over.
Shit!
Ren-Lvesque and University St.
This'll be fun.
More roadwork.
Happy birthday.
Wait!
Why after the shoot?
You always find excuses!
It's a simple question.
Summer of 94. Who were you fucking?
Know why I didn't meet you?
A woman handed me her baby
and dove under a truck.
He'll never know her.
You can't understand that emptiness.
Mom, I need to know.
Wait.
Thomas!
I'm sorry about before.
It's not my business.
It's all good.
I'm not that fat.
It's OK if Marie says it.
But when I do...
Watch out!
Ben?
What happened?
We hit someone.
Are you OK?
My ribs hurt like hell.
We have to get out.
9717, 10-14.
An accident.
We need backup, we hit someone.
How is he?
- Hanging on.
Who is he?
Take this.
Pierre, have that looked at...
Marie!
- I'm in charge here. Go!
Talk to me.
Young man, 20, hit by an ambulance,
bruising, pelvic trauma,
difficulty breathing, unconscious...
Fine.
- No, his heart! Check his heart!
Pierre!
- He had a cardiac arrest.
I want an echo. Go!
Mom
Mom
It's you.
Come in.
Here.
Thanks.
Did it go OK'?
No.
I knew he'd be mad.
I screened the rushes.
You're magnificent.
It's easy for me.
You're filming my life.
It was your idea, Sophie.
You're more authentic
when you're acting.
You're more authentic
when you're acting.
Maybe so.
You always preferred
the actress to me.
Hold me tight.
You should get stitched up.
You must have a concussion.
Who cares?
Who cares?
I do.
Your eye's bloody.
It was my fault again.
I was driving when we hit the mine.
You should talk to someone.
You should talk to someone.
There are no words.
Know where I was
when my son drowned?
In the kitchen fucking my husband.
Think I don't blame myself?
You never get over it.
This won't solve anything,
but it can't hurt.
Didn't you quit?
I quit quitting.
Thanks.
Whatever gets you through the night.
Booze, work, sex, you name it...
We don't have a monopoly on pain.
We do what we canto numb ourselves,
so it goes by a tiny bit faster.
You've never talked this much.
Lucky you, I usually charge.
Thanks.
Give us a minute?
Thanks.
How's the new medication?
Still having flashbacks?
Comes and goes.
We can try something else.
- No.
We can try something else.
- No.
Let's stay with this.
That kid... were you driving?
How is he?
Stable.
He's in the OR. It looks good.
You saved his life.
I nearly killed him.
That can turn up something else.
What do you mean?
I can tell only his family.
Robert?
- What now?
Telephone.
- Can't it wait?
No, it's urgent.
It's the hospital.
It's Thomas.
Excuse me.
- Yes?
Excuse me.
- Yes?
My son is here. Thomas.
Yes. Excuse me,just a second.
Marie?
I'm swamped, can you step in?
Can I help you?
Her son Thomas
was admitted last night.
Her son Thomas
was admitted last night.
Yes. Come with me.
Can I see him?
No, he's still in surgery.
What happened?
What happened?
Not here.
Follow me.
Hi.
Have a seat.
I'll find out how he is.
Have a seat.
I'll find out how he is.
Here.
- Thank you.
He's still in the OR, in cardiology.
He's still in the OR, in cardiology.
Cardiology?
- Yes.
It's his heart?
The doctor will give you a report.
So what can you tell me?
He was struck by a vehicle
last night at around 10 pm.
He was struck by a vehicle
last night at around 10 pm.
We tried to reach you all night.
Are crash victims often
sent to cardiology?
I see lots of things here.
I see lots of things here.
Depends on the accident.
Sorry, I have to go.
I was told it was an ambulance.
Is the driver hurt?
Is he here?
Can I talk to him?
To hear what happened.
Sorry, I can't tell you.
Sorry, I can't tell you.
So what good are you?
The doctor will come
as soon as she can.
Thanks.
Thanks.
You're still here?
I was waiting for you.
Is your shift over?
I saw the mom. I'll stay a bit.
A shitty situation.
You wait, no one tells you anything.
How is he?
He just came out of OR.
Go home.
What for?
Get some sleep.
It's not advisable.
Concussion.
Anyway, I hardly ever sleep, so...
I'll be frank.
She knows he was hit by
an ambulance driver.
So don't stay here.
Leave.
Wait.
Wait!
- Sophie, take it easy.
It was you, rig ht?
Of course it was you.
I should say it's not your fault.
It was an accident.
Accidents happen all the time.
But it's my son.
If he dies...
- I didn't see him.
He ca me out of nowhere.
Sophie, stop! It's pointless.
Please calm down, madame.
Come with me.
Go on, Sophie.
Come with me.
I'm sorry.
What were you thinking?
I told you to leave.
I know why you're filming it here.
It wasn't for Thomas or me.
You wanted me like this.
To see me fragile, in danger.
It's not our fault, Sophie.
If Thomas dies I won't forgive you.
Go back to the studio.
Have my things sent over.
I can't be that woman anymore.
Don't you want me to stay?
You heard. He's stable.
Leave me. I need to be alone.
We'll finish the film,
then you and me are over.
They said I'd find you here.
I owe you an apology.
We're used to it.
To your friend, too.
He saved my son's life, after all.
The doctor says
he has a heart malformation.
He would've died...
but for the accident.
We were always told it was asthma.
Come.
We'd quarreled.
I hadn't seen him in 3 years.
I was never a good mother.
I never had what it takes.
Do you have children?
Yes.
Yes, a boy.
How old?
A bit younger than yours.
How is it with him?
It's never simple.
He lives with my mother-in-law.
Things became complicated
when my husband died.
I came to work here soon after.
With school, I couldn't keep him.
No, I didn't...
I didn't want him.
It's like you never
do the right thing.
I'm sorry.
You're lucky.
Your son is alive.
Yours too.
Good luck.
He woke up half an hour ago.
You mustn't tire him.
He may have memory loss at first.
You have a good son.
He's built strong.
I'm here now.
Do you remember what happened?
A restaurant...
My birthday.
You gave me a box.
My father...
You wouldn't say.
Then it goes blank.
You never thought not knowing
might be a lesser evil?
I'd gone to have an abortion.
The doctor asked if I was ready.
I panicked.
I couldn't do it.
Remember when you were six?
You said your father was a spy.
An astronaut.
I said he was an astronaut.
Your father was neither.
You weren't conceived in love.
Just the opposite.
You have his eyes,
his hands,
his mouth...
the same voice as him.
What are you saying?
There was no consent involved.
He paid dearly
to erase you from his life.
If you still want to know,
it's in the box.
Open it or throw it away.
You need to sleep.
I'll stay with you.
I love you.
Attention, code blue, room 416.
His heart. Move back.
Thomas, are you with me?
Stay with me, do you hear?
He's having an attack.
Careful, shock!
Hi, I saw your ad in the paper.
I wanted to ask about
the 2-bedroom you're renting...
Hold on, I have another call.
Hello?
Yes.
Who is this?
Where?
No,I...
I'm not far.
OK, I'm on my way.
Yes, hi. Sorry, can I call you back
in an hour?
Yes, Marie. Marie Santerre.
Thanks, bye.
Meeting your boyfriend?
Yeah, to finish
what we started yesterday.
Could you give me a lift?
Hello.
Hi.
You must be Marie.
Yes.
I found your number in his phone.
I didn't know who to call.
I figured since
he mentions you so often...
Pierre?
Pierre, wake up.
Usually I don't mind,
but with all the blood...
How much did he drink?
- Not much.
What do I owe you?
No worries. He'll settle next time.
Take care of him.
He's not a bad guy.
He got dealt a few unlucky hands.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Get up, on your feet.
C'mon.
See you.
Here.
Thanks.
Working tonight?
No.
Want me to call to ask how he is?
- No.
Lemme see.
Wait.
What do you have planned?
I'm driving out to visit my son.
Can I come with you?
Sure.
Feeling OK?
Better, yeah.
You ready?
We're never ready for that.

I touch it.
We kiss.
OK, I'll hurry up.
I'm in my blue dress.
I'm not wearing panties.
I feel it come inside me.
It's big.
You like me saying it's big.
Can you feel me?
'Cause I feel you so deep.
Your break's over, sweetie.
And?
Still feel it?
Attention, code blue...
Can you take that?
I'll be code blue next.
Sure.
- Thanks.
What's going on?
Didn't you find my note?
No.
Can I come in?
Stupid of me!
Forget it.
- No, wait.
Hold on.
OK, come in.
No, stop.
Don't think about it.
Are you hereto have fun or to mope?
The great European actress
Sophie Bernard
is shooting in Montreal.
It's not every day we host
an artist of her caliber.
Tell me, Mme Bernard.
Do you enjoy Montreal?
I adore it.
- Yes?
Old Montreal is magnificent.
The restaurants are...
You eat so we!!!
And the people are very open and...
Mom, it's me.
I hope you're OK.
Wish you'd call.
Bye.
You OK?
I'll feel better after.
Do you have the money?
Yes.
Good.
Lie down.
You know the risks?
Too well, yes.
Whatever happens,
I was never here. We never met.
Do we agree?
Yes.
Good.
There'll be
a slight discomfort at first.
A burning sensation.
Spread your legs.
Breathe.
Soon you'll feel nothing.
Just relax.
No!
It may be too late.
Stop, please.
Christ! Did you get any sleep?
You look even worse.
What about you?
Yeah, the kid keeps coughing.
Could you drive?
- No!You know I hate it.
I never ask for anything.
Just tonight.
You OK?
- Yeah, fine.
Sure?
- Yea h, get off my case!
Don't take it out on me.
Jeez!
When will you come home?
I graduate this winter.
But I don't know if I'll come back.
Thomas, you promised.
And architecturally,
there are better cities to live in.
Surely you agree.
Her ladyship the duchess has spoken.
It's here.
Is it Mathieu?
No, there's no more Mathieu.
Really?
With guys, we don't have the knack.
Fifth.
You like being away from me.
For the moment, yes.
Was I that bad?
You made your choices.
It's not that simple.
Hello, Mme Bernard.
- Hello.
Please follow me.
Thank you.
Come on! You look like
a Christmas tree.
Discretion be damned.
You don't like it?
I bought it for you.
- For them, you mean.
Madame...
Thank you.
Champagne, please.
- Of course.
What are you doing?
Be right back.
No, Mom. Please!
God!
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
Thanks for your welcome.
Tonight is my son's birthday.
I know he's dying of shame.
I'd have killed my mother for it.
When I was pregnant
I often listened to this song.
It's for you.
Thank you.
No wonder you're overweight.
This isn't the army,
Captain Discipline.
What would you know?
Christ, think you're so much better?
Stoned on your pills since how long?
3 months' sick leave.
Shut the fuck up!
I didn't start it.
Central to 97-179717.
9717, 10-1.
You have a priority 1 call,
Male, age 22. 10-35, 10-17.
9717, 10-4. On our way.
Great.
Another cyclist run over.
Shit!
Ren-Lvesque and University St.
This'll be fun.
More roadwork.
Happy birthday.
Wait!
Why after the shoot?
You always find excuses!
It's a simple question.
Summer of 94. Who were you fucking?
Know why I didn't meet you?
A woman handed me her baby
and dove under a truck.
He'll never know her.
You can't understand that emptiness.
Mom, I need to know.
Wait.
Thomas!
I'm sorry about before.
It's not my business.
It's all good.
I'm not that fat.
It's OK if Marie says it.
But when I do...
Watch out!
Ben?
What happened?
We hit someone.
Are you OK?
My ribs hurt like hell.
We have to get out.
9717, 10-14.
An accident.
We need backup, we hit someone.
How is he?
- Hanging on.
Who is he?
Take this.
Pierre, have that looked at...
Marie!
- I'm in charge here. Go!
Talk to me.
Young man, 20, hit by an ambulance,
bruising, pelvic trauma,
difficulty breathing, unconscious...
Fine.
- No, his heart! Check his heart!
Pierre!
- He had a cardiac arrest.
I want an echo. Go!
Mom
Mom
It's you.
Come in.
Here.
Thanks.
Did it go OK'?
No.
I knew he'd be mad.
I screened the rushes.
You're magnificent.
It's easy for me.
You're filming my life.
It was your idea, Sophie.
You're more authentic
when you're acting.
You're more authentic
when you're acting.
Maybe so.
You always preferred
the actress to me.
Hold me tight.
You should get stitched up.
You must have a concussion.
Who cares?
Who cares?
I do.
Your eye's bloody.
It was my fault again.
I was driving when we hit the mine.
You should talk to someone.
You should talk to someone.
There are no words.
Know where I was
when my son drowned?
In the kitchen fucking my husband.
Think I don't blame myself?
You never get over it.
This won't solve anything,
but it can't hurt.
Didn't you quit?
I quit quitting.
Thanks.
Whatever gets you through the night.
Booze, work, sex, you name it...
We don't have a monopoly on pain.
We do what we canto numb ourselves,
so it goes by a tiny bit faster.
You've never talked this much.
Lucky you, I usually charge.
Thanks.
Give us a minute?
Thanks.
How's the new medication?
Still having flashbacks?
Comes and goes.
We can try something else.
- No.
We can try something else.
- No.
Let's stay with this.
That kid... were you driving?
How is he?
Stable.
He's in the OR. It looks good.
You saved his life.
I nearly killed him.
That can turn up something else.
What do you mean?
I can tell only his family.
Robert?
- What now?
Telephone.
- Can't it wait?
No, it's urgent.
It's the hospital.
It's Thomas.
Excuse me.
- Yes?
Excuse me.
- Yes?
My son is here. Thomas.
Yes. Excuse me,just a second.
Marie?
I'm swamped, can you step in?
Can I help you?
Her son Thomas
was admitted last night.
Her son Thomas
was admitted last night.
Yes. Come with me.
Can I see him?
No, he's still in surgery.
What happened?
What happened?
Not here.
Follow me.
Hi.
Have a seat.
I'll find out how he is.
Have a seat.
I'll find out how he is.
Here.
- Thank you.
He's still in the OR, in cardiology.
He's still in the OR, in cardiology.
Cardiology?
- Yes.
It's his heart?
The doctor will give you a report.
So what can you tell me?
He was struck by a vehicle
last night at around 10 pm.
He was struck by a vehicle
last night at around 10 pm.
We tried to reach you all night.
Are crash victims often
sent to cardiology?
I see lots of things here.
I see lots of things here.
Depends on the accident.
Sorry, I have to go.
I was told it was an ambulance.
Is the driver hurt?
Is he here?
Can I talk to him?
To hear what happened.
Sorry, I can't tell you.
Sorry, I can't tell you.
So what good are you?
The doctor will come
as soon as she can.
Thanks.
Thanks.
You're still here?
I was waiting for you.
Is your shift over?
I saw the mom. I'll stay a bit.
A shitty situation.
You wait, no one tells you anything.
How is he?
He just came out of OR.
Go home.
What for?
Get some sleep.
It's not advisable.
Concussion.
Anyway, I hardly ever sleep, so...
I'll be frank.
She knows he was hit by
an ambulance driver.
So don't stay here.
Leave.
Wait.
Wait!
- Sophie, take it easy.
It was you, rig ht?
Of course it was you.
I should say it's not your fault.
It was an accident.
Accidents happen all the time.
But it's my son.
If he dies...
- I didn't see him.
He ca me out of nowhere.
Sophie, stop! It's pointless.
Please calm down, madame.
Come with me.
Go on, Sophie.
Come with me.
I'm sorry.
What were you thinking?
I told you to leave.
I know why you're filming it here.
It wasn't for Thomas or me.
You wanted me like this.
To see me fragile, in danger.
It's not our fault, Sophie.
If Thomas dies I won't forgive you.
Go back to the studio.
Have my things sent over.
I can't be that woman anymore.
Don't you want me to stay?
You heard. He's stable.
Leave me. I need to be alone.
We'll finish the film,
then you and me are over.
They said I'd find you here.
I owe you an apology.
We're used to it.
To your friend, too.
He saved my son's life, after all.
The doctor says
he has a heart malformation.
He would've died...
but for the accident.
We were always told it was asthma.
Come.
We'd quarreled.
I hadn't seen him in 3 years.
I was never a good mother.
I never had what it takes.
Do you have children?
Yes.
Yes, a boy.
How old?
A bit younger than yours.
How is it with him?
It's never simple.
He lives with my mother-in-law.
Things became complicated
when my husband died.
I came to work here soon after.
With school, I couldn't keep him.
No, I didn't...
I didn't want him.
It's like you never
do the right thing.
I'm sorry.
You're lucky.
Your son is alive.
Yours too.
Good luck.
He woke up half an hour ago.
You mustn't tire him.
He may have memory loss at first.
You have a good son.
He's built strong.
I'm here now.
Do you remember what happened?
A restaurant...
My birthday.
You gave me a box.
My father...
You wouldn't say.
Then it goes blank.
You never thought not knowing
might be a lesser evil?
I'd gone to have an abortion.
The doctor asked if I was ready.
I panicked.
I couldn't do it.
Remember when you were six?
You said your father was a spy.
An astronaut.
I said he was an astronaut.
Your father was neither.
You weren't conceived in love.
Just the opposite.
You have his eyes,
his hands,
his mouth...
the same voice as him.
What are you saying?
There was no consent involved.
He paid dearly
to erase you from his life.
If you still want to know,
it's in the box.
Open it or throw it away.
You need to sleep.
I'll stay with you.
I love you.
Attention, code blue, room 416.
His heart. Move back.
Thomas, are you with me?
Stay with me, do you hear?
He's having an attack.
Careful, shock!
Hi, I saw your ad in the paper.
I wanted to ask about
the 2-bedroom you're renting...
Hold on, I have another call.
Hello?
Yes.
Who is this?
Where?
No,I...
I'm not far.
OK, I'm on my way.
Yes, hi. Sorry, can I call you back
in an hour?
Yes, Marie. Marie Santerre.
Thanks, bye.
Meeting your boyfriend?
Yeah, to finish
what we started yesterday.
Could you give me a lift?
Hello.
Hi.
You must be Marie.
Yes.
I found your number in his phone.
I didn't know who to call.
I figured since
he mentions you so often...
Pierre?
Pierre, wake up.
Usually I don't mind,
but with all the blood...
How much did he drink?
- Not much.
What do I owe you?
No worries. He'll settle next time.
Take care of him.
He's not a bad guy.
He got dealt a few unlucky hands.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Get up, on your feet.
C'mon.
See you.
Here.
Thanks.
Working tonight?
No.
Want me to call to ask how he is?
- No.
Lemme see.
Wait.
What do you have planned?
I'm driving out to visit my son.
Can I come with you?
Sure.
Feeling OK?
Better, yeah.
You ready?
We're never ready for that.
Paradise Boulevard,

Framed.
In 3,2,1...
Action!
Hello, you.
There'll only be the two of us.
That's enough, you'll see.
