You still working? You're impossible, man!
I wanna talk to you for a second.
- Why? You outta here?
- Yeah.
Can only take so much of the guy.
Can't you make an effort for Mom at least?
Hey, what's this about you going
to business school?
Who put that idea in your head?
What about music?
[playing guitar]
- All right, stop it. Stop it.
- Okay. Here, take it.
[slaps leg]
[chuckles]
[girl giggling]
Is that Sonia?
Ah, so you still love her, don't you?
Forget about that bitch.
- Don't say that.
- Say what?
Anybody who dumps my brother is a bitch.

Come on. Enough with the sulking.

NICE, PRESENT DAY
10 YEARS LATER
[door opens, closes]
[woman] You still awake?
We've gotta get up early tomorrow
for your mom's funeral.
I had a nightmare.
You okay?
[man] Not really.
You guys finished pretty late.
[clicks tongue] Uh, sort of.
Sergio insisted on buying us all beers.
- Yeah?
- [sighs] He wanted to debrief the day.
Okay.
What's this?
[exhales] I went through the Parc du Ray,
and, well, I tripped 'cause I was rushing.
- You must have fallen hard.
- Yep. [grunts]
What were you doing there?
We accompanied a kid back to Gorbella.
- But that's not our area.
- [woman] No, not at all.
[man sighs] I missed you.
I'm here now.
Okay?
["St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244" playing]
You okay? How you feeling? You holding up?
Oh, come on, I'm fine.
Please, not you too.
It's hard enough for your sister
treating me like I'm senile.
Come on!
I just offered a drive, and he got mad.
[phone chiming]
- Hang on. Sorry, I'll be two seconds.
- [man] Yeah, okay.
[chiming continues]
[suspenseful music playing]
Alexandre.
Thank you for coming.
My condolences.
I really cared about your mother,
you know.
- What's going on?
- It It's Sergio.
I feel awful, really.
But I'm gonna have to go soon.
No. So that means you're leaving?
No, I'll be with you through the funeral,
but that's it.
- I can't be with you this evening. Sorry.
- Why not?
[exhales] It's these boys I know.
They terrorized this old migrant
and robbed the poor guy.
The guy has no papers, no proof.
He can't press charges.
[sighs]
Sergio says it's best if we stop the kids
before they spend the cash.
Can't they handle it just this once?
- So you'd be able to stay?
- It's my case, Guillaume.
I know. I'm sorry. You're not alone.
Okay. No worries.
But I'm gonna stay here for tonight.
I'm not leaving my dad by himself.
- Okay? I'll see you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
[chuckles] Don't worry, all right?
It's fine.
If Florence were here now,
she might tell you
that I'm awful with speeches.
But Florence has passed and so,
well, I'll keep it brief.
The past six months,
Florence was battling with cancer,
and actually
she'd lost a part of herself already.
She had faced
another equally devastating tragedy.
[inhales sharply] The death
of our eldest son, Frédéric.
She never accepted his death.
And our family fell apart
the day that Frédéric abandoned us.
- These days we're told
- Why's he doing this?
- we need to work through our pain.
- Please, not right now.
[dad] But grief is not a process.
It's an open wound that never closes.
Florence was tormented.
She couldn't bear it. [sniffling]
Her sorrow took her.
I know she's at peace now with Frédéric.
[somber music playing]
[music continues]
[woman] I can't do it.
I don't wanna do it.
[dad] I didn't tell the whole truth.
I didn't say
that your mother was driven insane.
She was sad, but insane.
Uh, give me, uh, my pajama shirt,
could you, please?
Thank you.
Wait, Dad
[sighs]
[dad groans]
[groans]
[groaning]
[solemn music playing]
[birds chirping]
[switch clicks]
Hey.
- You okay?
- [sighs]
And you?
[solemn music continues]
You gonna be okay?
Want me to stay a little longer?
No, you better go.
But I'm worried about you driving late.
My mom used to say that.
[chuckles] So, you know
[chuckles softly]
Hold me tight.
Even tighter.
[grunts gently]
Hey, hold on.
There's something else she used to say.
"There's always time for beauty."
And so
It's an authentic piece made
in the late '80s.
I actually stole it from Maéva.
It was sold in the, um, the greatest fair
in the French Riviera.
[inhales sharply]
And since romance is my strength,
I'm wondering
- [sniffles]
- if you, Judith Conti, would be my wife.
- Are you serious? [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
So [laughs]
[inhales deeply] Well, I'm glad
you asked me that because, well, I
I'm really good at being serious.
Do you want to be my wife?
I already am your wife.

[dad] I know she was your mother.
You know what? She was my wife!
[Maéva] Yeah, right, your wife.
Some husband you were.
[dad] What does that mean?
[Maéva] Being your wife
wasn't exactly a fucking piece of cake.
[dad] Oh, of course, blame it on me.
Take a look at your own life
before lecturing me
about being a good husband.
[Maéva] Asshole. Fuck off!
[door bangs]
[groans]
[exhales]
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[exhales]
Hey, beautiful. It's me.
Listen, I'm coming home.
Hope you're doin' okay.
That's all. I miss you.
Uh, call me back when you get this message
or text me if you want me
to, uh, pick up something to eat.
- I feel like stuffing my face, okay?
- [dog barking]
Love you, beautiful. See you soon.
[door unlocking]

Judith?

Judith?

[breathing heavily]
[crescendo playing]
[indistinct chatter]
I thought you weren't coming in.
Hey, sorry about missing yesterday.
- You okay?
- Yeah. Fine.
- [man] How you holding up?
- Have you seen Judith?
Uh, no.
Shit.
Yesterday, apparently, Sergio needed her.
These kids stole from a migrant?
[man] No, I haven't heard about it.
[sighs] Some kids from Saint-Roch
terrorized and robbed this guy,
and Sergio wanted to catch them
before they spent the cash.
No. Look, man, it's been dead here.
She's not back at the apartment.
I tried to call, but she won't answer.
Plus, her car's gone.
[inhales deeply]
[smacks lips]
I don't know where she is.
[man] Come on.
Hey, don't worry, okay? Let's call Sergio.
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music playing]
[crescendo playing]
[inaudible]
NICE, OCTOBER 2017
[man] Hey. Come in.
This is Judith.
She's gonna be working with us.
- Hello.
- Hi.
[splutters] I'm sorry.
[man] You can learn a lot from each other.
- Guillaume. How are you?
- [Judith] Good, thanks.
Guillaume covers the areas
between Trinité and Ariane.
I was telling Judith
how things work around here.
We try to spend all our time
on the streets.
See, being on the ground is our strength
because we take our time.
We get to know them, talk to them,
try to be all the cops aren't.
It's important that they know that.
Guillaume, maybe you could
show Judith the ropes.
Have her shadow you.
Why don't you start in Ariane?
Today, actually, I have to go get a kid
who's ditching his court appearance.
It'd be complicated.
- [man] Who is that?
- [Guillaume] The Kouadio kid, Isaac.
His father told me he doesn't give a shit
if his son ends up in prison.
That's great. That way you can see
how things are done around here.
- All right?
- Okay.
Can I maybe talk to you out here?
Yeah.
- Sorry. Excuse me.
- Sorry.
- Take a seat if you like.
- [Judith] Thank you.
- What?
- Look, I'm not too sure about her.
Funny, 'cause that's exactly
what I thought about you
when you showed up eight years ago
with your perfect haircut.
I just don't wanna have
to watch out for her.
What's the problem?
You can't let her follow you
for two hours?
I'm just asking you to show her around.
For just an hour.
You're telling me you want me
to babysit her.
[man] Look, you don't even know her yet.
Just give her a chance.
She might surprise you.
[Guillaume] This is bullshit.
NICE, PRESENT DAY
Power comes from your stance.
Doesn't take too much to break your nose.
[man] Sergio!
Give me a sec. You got this?
- How's it going, guys?
- All right.
- What's going on?
- Hey, where's Judith?
Don't know. Wasn't she supposed
to be with you at the funeral?
Give me a fucking break, man.
She came in to help you.
About some kids or a migrant
Huh? She told you that?
[man] Sergio, did you call her or not?
Look, man, I haven't seen Judith
for three days. Maybe more.
You saw her at the debriefing.
You were having drinks until 2:00.
What debriefing? What drinks?
What's this all about?
Debriefing is not till next week.
- Well, thanks.
- No problem.
[man] Hey, come on.
Look at her last message.
- "I will always love you."
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- What?
- [scoffs]
That sounds a bit like something you'd say
when you're leaving, to soften the blow.
[clicks tongue]
That's impossible.
I proposed to her after the funeral.
She got choked up.
I would've known if anything was off.
Yeah.
I know her. She would've said.
[inhales deeply]
- So what're you gonna do now?
- I'm not sure. I don't know. [sighs]
And you?
I thought you were supposed to head home.
- I don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know?
Leave it, man. Look, you don't need
to worry about my shit.
Tell me. Come on, it's fine. Just tell me.
It's complicated. Just You know.
- What's complicated? Just say it. Tell
- Oh, fuck!
[chuckles]
- [thunder rumbling]
- [sighs]
How long have you been sleeping
at the Maison Bleue?
Oh, just once in a while.
Things with Awa are a mess right now.
Look, man, all of those kids at work,
they're my life.
But having one of my own,
I don't know, it's
I'm terrified.
I don't know. I must have seen
too many kids broken by their families
that, um, maybe I'm worried
I'd be one of those parents.
Yeah, but you're wrong.
Because you'd be great, Daco.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, man.
- Oh, sure. [chuckles]
- You would.
We already talked about it.
A million times, I told her.
I don't want to be a parent.
And now she's pregnant.
And And what does she want?
I mean, what did she think?
I'd say, "It's cool"?
Say, "Congratulations"?
[thunder crashing]
Fuck, I don't want kids. I
I can't just pretend.
[sighs]
[exhales, sniffles]
Look, I get it. I I know I'm an ass.
- [Guillaume] I agree. You are an ass.
- Oh, fuck!
- [both laugh]
- No, but
[Daco] Oh, fuck, man.
Goddamn it.
[screams]
[thunder crashing]
- [laughs]
- [Guillaume] Whoo!
[Daco] Fuck!
[hip hop music playing]
NICE, OCTOBER 2017
[man] Marlboro, Camel!
[Guillaume] Hey, Isaac!
- How's it going?
- What do you want?
- I quit smoking. What do you think?
- No, I'm not going.
- When is it?
- No way. I'm not going, that's it.
The judge already decided.
I'm delinquent, he said.
He was right. I'm done.
If you don't go, he won't have any reason
to think differently.
If you go, you'd be proving
you're better than that.
I'm not saying
you'll get let off completely,
but if you don't go,
that's the end of it for sure.
You do know that every person that wins
the lottery is taking a chance, right?
[Isaac] Bit of a stretch, man.
Fuck, man. Go on. Go see him, okay?
Tell him you're not what he thinks.
You like reading books at the library.
You only get in trouble when it's closed.
Maybe then he'll see you differently.
Maybe he'll think, "My God! The kid is
a bookworm. I've never seen this before."
What kinda books, huh?
Who's she? New girl?
Do you read comics? Do you read manga?
Enough with this shit about
your manga and your comic books.
- You're scaring away my customers.
- Isaac. Isaac.
It's over! I'm just a Black kid
from Ariane to that judge.
- When is it?
- It's at 8:00.
- Okay, we'll meet at 7:00.
- I'll still be asleep.
I'll see you at 7:00 at Pont-Michel.
You think he'll be there?
We'll see.
But, uh, in any case I'll be there.
Why didn't you say anything
when he asked about me?
Well, 'cause you're not part of the team.
Well, they told me I was.
- All right, listen.
- Hmm?
Why do you wanna get
into this line of work anyway?
- Don't you know it's a shit job?
- You do it.
I don't have a choice.
This is my life. It's what I do.
Well, I don't have a choice either.
These kids are broken. They'll need
more than a pat on the back and a kiss.
They're full of rage.
It's a total mess out there.
Their problems will keep you up at night
because it's that dark.
But you won't be able to quit,
because if you do, they lose.
- You get it?
- Mmm.
So you better forget regular office hours.
Any kind of downtime,
you can kiss that goodbye. Yoga classes.
You better tell your boyfriend now
that you probably
- You won't have time for him.
- Mmm.
- You sure you're ready for that?
- I'm ready. I'm single anyway.
Ready?
Where you going?
You ever dealt with kids addicted
to huffing glue?
Twelve-year-old girls being gang raped
by kids the same age?
Kids walking around
with guns in their hands,
just to make themselves look tough?
- No.
- No. You never seen that?
And how will you react one day
if a kid's harassing you?
Says that you're a bitch?
- Or grabs your boob? What happens?
- I've known worse.
I'm not gonna tell you about my life,
but I'm strong.
Test me. Let me prove it.
You decide if I pass.
- Oh yeah?
- Mmm.
First, get rid of your little butterfly.
- Who cares? It's just jewelry. [chuckles]
- You see me wearing any?
No. See?
Put this on.
Seriously.
- This?
- Yeah, come on.
[chuckles]
- Come with me. Let's go.

[Guillaume] You see a lot of drug dealers
hanging out here.
- [Judith] You know them?
- No. A couple, maybe.
[indistinct chatter]
What we need to do is establish contact.
Hang out, speak to them a bit.
You just gotta make sure
they don't feel judged.
And another thing.
You absolutely can't mention
you're a counselor.
- No matter what. That's our rule.

Everything okay, guys? Ah, excuse me.
How's it going, babe? You okay?
[cop] What's goin' on here?
- Miss?
- [Judith] It's all good.
- [boy 2] We just talking.
- [cop] Just gonna check your IDs.
Officer, please. No need to overreact.
I'm not overreacting. It's my job.
- ID, please.
- What are you talking about?
Your ID, please, gentlemen.
Why do you always go after
the same people?
- [cop] Don't get involved, miss. Okay?
- Come on, stop.
Grab him! Grab him!
So you're being a smartass.
- Hey!
- Come on, move!
- On the wall.

- [Mrs. Conti on phone] Yes?
[Guillaume] Yes.
Could I please speak with Judith?
- [Mrs. Conti] There's no Judith here.
- Ah, got it.
- Excuse me. Have a good day.
- [receiver thuds]
[dialing]
[man] Hello. You've reached the voicemail
of Mr. and Mrs. Conti
[slams receiver]
So you really don't have a clue
where to look?
[sniffling]
We had a pact.
- A pact?
- [Guillaume] Yeah.
What kinda pact?
We wouldn't ask about the past.
I don't know anything.
Just that she never speaks to her parents.
[sighs]
It was fine. I mean,
it was like there was nothing before us.
I mean, no no past relationships.
Like we started over the day we met.
[Daco] And you stuck to that pact?
Yeah.
Well, I guess not,
because I told her everything about me.
NICE, OCTOBER 2017
[phone ringing]
He's a social worker.
What's he doing here?
- Is that right?
- Well, yeah.
Is she your colleague?
Yeah. It's her first day.
She's new. It's not her fault.
You kidding me? Why do that?
You never asked me about it.
My job is to talk, listen to people,
you know? Care about others.
But for you it's different, so
- I mean, here we are.
- Oh yeah. You're an idiot.
[indistinct chatter]
[phone ringing]
Why didn't you show them your work ID?
[sighs] Because I'm not gonna flash my ID
to make them leave.
That's not what we do.
[inhales deeply]
And besides, why couldn't you
have kept your mouth shut
instead of making it worse?
Wasn't it a test?
[Guillaume grunts softly]
You know we're gonna be stuck in here
till morning, right?
Cops hate social workers.
We're on different sides.
You get that, don't you?
[footsteps approach]
[Guillaume sighs]
[Judith] What's your problem with me?
[sighs]
What do you mean?
You've been kind of a dick all day.
So what's your problem?
[scoffs] I have no problem with you.
- Really no problem?
- [Guillaume] No.
Good morning.
Can I speak with Judith, please?
NICE, PRESENT DAY
[man on phone] Judith?
No. Sorry, wrong number.
All right, sorry. Have a nice day.
[receiver clatters]

Yeah, Sergio.
[Sergio on phone] Guillaume,
you need to come meet me.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [Sergio] Hi, guys.
- [Daco] Hey, how's it going? All right?
[Sergio] Precious?
Hello, Precious.
Tell them what you told me.
This gentleman is Judith's partner.
[dog barking]
Well, she was here.
And she had this bag.
Was in a hurry.
Then this guy came.
He, um, grabbed her sack.
She hit him. He peaced out.
- When?
- [Precious] Thursday.
But how do you know that?
'Cause the medical aid truck
was over there.
And the medical aid truck comes
every Thursday.
They hand out syringes, and tampons
You better not miss it.
Precious, are you sure it was Judith
a hundred percent?
[Precious] Yeah, it was her.
All this cash was in her bag,
so I don't know.
She had cash?
There was wind. It flew away.
She grabbed it, put it in her pockets,
in her bag,
and she fell.
She got home
and had dirt all over her jeans.
Uh, thank you.
[tense music playing]
[Guillaume] You guys finished pretty late.
[Judith] I went through the Parc du Ray,
and, well, I tripped 'cause I was rushing.

Yeah, I work with Judith.
Is she with you by any chance?
She told me to call you at this number.
She said she'd be there.
- Is she there?
- [line disconnects]
Hello?
Why do you need Weego?
Come on, do you know the guy or not?
I've seen him in here.
They say he's the guy
with the strong stuff.
He's a middleman.
He'll take you from point A to point B.
Like the subway.
[man] I know him.
He hangs out with all those crack dealers.
Whenever he saves up some money,
he'd stay with them
and get high for a couple of days.

You know Weego?

- We just want to talk to you! Just wait!
- [Guillaume] Hey, what're you doing?
[panting]
Oh, fucking bitch!
[panting]
Fuck!
What did Judith have to do with this guy?
[Daco] I don't know. [panting]
Don't die on me.
[breathing heavily]
[wheezing]
You okay?
- You good?
- [breathing heavily]
Oh, fuck.
[breathing heavily]
Fuck, you scared me.
I thought you were dying.
It feels like that.
[Guillaume breathing heavily]
You okay?
[tense music playing]
I lost the two people I loved the most
because I got there too late.
[sighs]

Come on. Get out.
- [Guillaume] What time is it?
- 7:00.
[sighs]
Shit, Isaac!

[panting]

- [brakes squeal]
Oh, shit! We missed him. We're late.
"We"?
[sighs]
Hey, bro, I woke up.
Come on. Do you think
we'll get there in 20 minutes?
- My car's parked just over there.
- Okay, let's go! Hurry!
[solemn music playing]
Look, man, what do I tell the judge?
That I read books about European history
or books by Tolkien?
That I took a writing course?
Yeah, say that.
[Judith] And don't forget to use
all the formalities.
"Hello, Your Honor."
"If you'll allow me, Your Honor."
"Goodbye, Your Honor." [chuckles]
[Guillaume] You sure you got 'em all?
Isaac, don't listen to her.
Let's not overdo it.
[chuckles]
Hey, how about my collection
of plates from stolen cars?
Oh yeah, sure. Brilliant.
[laughs] You're gonna make
quite the impression.
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
Thanks for the ride.
I'm gonna go with him to make sure
that he doesn't back out on us.
Okay, great. I'll leave you alone
and maybe take a shower.
- Yeah, I think you better.
- [laughs]
Guys, what about me?
What do I tell the judge?
Sorry. Come on, let's go.
Hey! So, then, did I pass?
I'm not sure yet. I better go.
I'll call you, okay? I'll think about it.

[woman] Guillaume Lucchesi?
Céline Celoria, Nice Police Department.
- Good evening.
- Étienne Chomard, from the Paris Police.
[inhales deeply]
I've been looking for her all day.
I'm worried about
what may have happened to her.
If I knew where she was
The last message that she sent you,
what did it say?
All it said was that she loved me
and she always would.
Was there anything else?
Was she acting normally?
Did she seem nervous?
What's going on? Come on, tell me.
Is she okay? Did anything happen to her?
[Chomard] If you don't mind,
just answer the question, Mr. Lucchesi.
No, nothing was different. She
She was completely normal.
Nothing had changed.
Just tell me.
[Celoria] These photos were taken
two days ago in Ivry.
These two men are connected
to organized crime.
We managed to find some hair and fibers
under their fingernails.
The DNA test revealed
that they belong
to your partner, Judith Conti.

10 YEARS LATER
[door opens, closes]
[woman] You still awake?
We've gotta get up early tomorrow
for your mom's funeral.
I had a nightmare.
You okay?
[man] Not really.
You guys finished pretty late.
[clicks tongue] Uh, sort of.
Sergio insisted on buying us all beers.
- Yeah?
- [sighs] He wanted to debrief the day.
Okay.
What's this?
[exhales] I went through the Parc du Ray,
and, well, I tripped 'cause I was rushing.
- You must have fallen hard.
- Yep. [grunts]
What were you doing there?
We accompanied a kid back to Gorbella.
- But that's not our area.
- [woman] No, not at all.
[man sighs] I missed you.
I'm here now.
Okay?
["St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244" playing]
You okay? How you feeling? You holding up?
Oh, come on, I'm fine.
Please, not you too.
It's hard enough for your sister
treating me like I'm senile.
Come on!
I just offered a drive, and he got mad.
[phone chiming]
- Hang on. Sorry, I'll be two seconds.
- [man] Yeah, okay.
[chiming continues]
[suspenseful music playing]
Alexandre.
Thank you for coming.
My condolences.
I really cared about your mother,
you know.
- What's going on?
- It It's Sergio.
I feel awful, really.
But I'm gonna have to go soon.
No. So that means you're leaving?
No, I'll be with you through the funeral,
but that's it.
- I can't be with you this evening. Sorry.
- Why not?
[exhales] It's these boys I know.
They terrorized this old migrant
and robbed the poor guy.
The guy has no papers, no proof.
He can't press charges.
[sighs]
Sergio says it's best if we stop the kids
before they spend the cash.
Can't they handle it just this once?
- So you'd be able to stay?
- It's my case, Guillaume.
I know. I'm sorry. You're not alone.
Okay. No worries.
But I'm gonna stay here for tonight.
I'm not leaving my dad by himself.
- Okay? I'll see you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
[chuckles] Don't worry, all right?
It's fine.
If Florence were here now,
she might tell you
that I'm awful with speeches.
But Florence has passed and so,
well, I'll keep it brief.
The past six months,
Florence was battling with cancer,
and actually
she'd lost a part of herself already.
She had faced
another equally devastating tragedy.
[inhales sharply] The death
of our eldest son, Frédéric.
She never accepted his death.
And our family fell apart
the day that Frédéric abandoned us.
- These days we're told
- Why's he doing this?
- we need to work through our pain.
- Please, not right now.
[dad] But grief is not a process.
It's an open wound that never closes.
Florence was tormented.
She couldn't bear it. [sniffling]
Her sorrow took her.
I know she's at peace now with Frédéric.
[somber music playing]
[music continues]
[woman] I can't do it.
I don't wanna do it.
[dad] I didn't tell the whole truth.
I didn't say
that your mother was driven insane.
She was sad, but insane.
Uh, give me, uh, my pajama shirt,
could you, please?
Thank you.
Wait, Dad

- You okay?

And you?
[solemn music continues]
You gonna be okay?
Want me to stay a little longer?
No, you better go.
But I'm worried about you driving late.
My mom used to say that.
[chuckles] So, you know
[chuckles softly]
Hold me tight.
Even tighter.
[grunts gently]
Hey, hold on.
There's something else she used to say.
"There's always time for beauty."
And so
It's an authentic piece made
in the late '80s.
I actually stole it from Maéva.
It was sold in the, um, the greatest fair
in the French Riviera.
[inhales sharply]
And since romance is my strength,
I'm wondering
- [sniffles]
- if you, Judith Conti, would be my wife.
- Are you serious? [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
So [laughs]
[inhales deeply] Well, I'm glad
you asked me that because, well, I
I'm really good at being serious.
Do you want to be my wife?
I already am your wife.

Uh, no.
Shit.
Yesterday, apparently, Sergio needed her.
These kids stole from a migrant?
[man] No, I haven't heard about it.
[sighs] Some kids from Saint-Roch
terrorized and robbed this guy,
and Sergio wanted to catch them
before they spent the cash.
No. Look, man, it's been dead here.
She's not back at the apartment.
I tried to call, but she won't answer.
Plus, her car's gone.

NICE, OCTOBER 2017
[man] Hey. Come in.
This is Judith.
She's gonna be working with us.
- Hello.
- Hi.
[splutters] I'm sorry.
[man] You can learn a lot from each other.
- Guillaume. How are you?
- [Judith] Good, thanks.
Guillaume covers the areas
between Trinité and Ariane.
I was telling Judith
how things work around here.
We try to spend all our time
on the streets.
See, being on the ground is our strength
because we take our time.
We get to know them, talk to them,
try to be all the cops aren't.
It's important that they know that.
Guillaume, maybe you could
show Judith the ropes.
Have her shadow you.
Why don't you start in Ariane?
Today, actually, I have to go get a kid
who's ditching his court appearance.
It'd be complicated.
- [man] Who is that?
- [Guillaume] The Kouadio kid, Isaac.
His father told me he doesn't give a shit
if his son ends up in prison.
That's great. That way you can see
how things are done around here.
- All right?
- Okay.
Can I maybe talk to you out here?
Yeah.
- Sorry. Excuse me.
- Sorry.
- Take a seat if you like.
- [Judith] Thank you.
- What?
- Look, I'm not too sure about her.
Funny, 'cause that's exactly
what I thought about you
when you showed up eight years ago
with your perfect haircut.
I just don't wanna have
to watch out for her.
What's the problem?
You can't let her follow you
for two hours?
I'm just asking you to show her around.
For just an hour.
You're telling me you want me
to babysit her.
[man] Look, you don't even know her yet.
Just give her a chance.
She might surprise you.
[Guillaume] This is bullshit.
NICE, PRESENT DAY
Power comes from your stance.
Doesn't take too much to break your nose.
[man] Sergio!
Give me a sec. You got this?
- How's it going, guys?
- All right.
- What's going on?
- Hey, where's Judith?
Don't know. Wasn't she supposed
to be with you at the funeral?
Give me a fucking break, man.
She came in to help you.
About some kids or a migrant
Huh? She told you that?
[man] Sergio, did you call her or not?
Look, man, I haven't seen Judith
for three days. Maybe more.
You saw her at the debriefing.
You were having drinks until 2:00.
What debriefing? What drinks?
What's this all about?
Debriefing is not till next week.
- Well, thanks.
- No problem.
[man] Hey, come on.
Look at her last message.
- "I will always love you."
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- What?
- [scoffs]
That sounds a bit like something you'd say
when you're leaving, to soften the blow.
[clicks tongue]
That's impossible.
I proposed to her after the funeral.
She got choked up.
I would've known if anything was off.
Yeah.
I know her. She would've said.
[inhales deeply]
- So what're you gonna do now?
- I'm not sure. I don't know. [sighs]
And you?
I thought you were supposed to head home.
- I don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know?
Leave it, man. Look, you don't need
to worry about my shit.
Tell me. Come on, it's fine. Just tell me.
It's complicated. Just You know.
- What's complicated? Just say it. Tell
- Oh, fuck!
[chuckles]
- [thunder rumbling]
- [sighs]
How long have you been sleeping
at the Maison Bleue?
Oh, just once in a while.
Things with Awa are a mess right now.
Look, man, all of those kids at work,
they're my life.
But having one of my own,
I don't know, it's
I'm terrified.
I don't know. I must have seen
too many kids broken by their families
that, um, maybe I'm worried
I'd be one of those parents.
Yeah, but you're wrong.
Because you'd be great, Daco.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, man.
- Oh, sure. [chuckles]
- You would.
We already talked about it.
A million times, I told her.
I don't want to be a parent.
And now she's pregnant.
And And what does she want?
I mean, what did she think?
I'd say, "It's cool"?
Say, "Congratulations"?
[thunder crashing]
Fuck, I don't want kids. I
I can't just pretend.
[sighs]
[exhales, sniffles]
Look, I get it. I I know I'm an ass.
- [Guillaume] I agree. You are an ass.
- Oh, fuck!
- [both laugh]
- No, but
[Daco] Oh, fuck, man.
Goddamn it.

[Daco] Fuck!

[man] Marlboro, Camel!
[Guillaume] Hey, Isaac!
- How's it going?
- What do you want?
- I quit smoking. What do you think?
- No, I'm not going.
- When is it?
- No way. I'm not going, that's it.
The judge already decided.
I'm delinquent, he said.
He was right. I'm done.
If you don't go, he won't have any reason
to think differently.
If you go, you'd be proving
you're better than that.
I'm not saying
you'll get let off completely,
but if you don't go,
that's the end of it for sure.
You do know that every person that wins
the lottery is taking a chance, right?
[Isaac] Bit of a stretch, man.
Fuck, man. Go on. Go see him, okay?
Tell him you're not what he thinks.
You like reading books at the library.
You only get in trouble when it's closed.
Maybe then he'll see you differently.
Maybe he'll think, "My God! The kid is
a bookworm. I've never seen this before."
What kinda books, huh?
Who's she? New girl?
Do you read comics? Do you read manga?
Enough with this shit about
your manga and your comic books.
- You're scaring away my customers.
- Isaac. Isaac.
It's over! I'm just a Black kid
from Ariane to that judge.
- When is it?
- It's at 8:00.
- Okay, we'll meet at 7:00.
- I'll still be asleep.
I'll see you at 7:00 at Pont-Michel.
You think he'll be there?
We'll see.
But, uh, in any case I'll be there.
Why didn't you say anything
when he asked about me?
Well, 'cause you're not part of the team.
Well, they told me I was.
- All right, listen.
- Hmm?
Why do you wanna get
into this line of work anyway?
- Don't you know it's a shit job?
- You do it.
I don't have a choice.
This is my life. It's what I do.
Well, I don't have a choice either.
These kids are broken. They'll need
more than a pat on the back and a kiss.
They're full of rage.
It's a total mess out there.
Their problems will keep you up at night
because it's that dark.
But you won't be able to quit,
because if you do, they lose.
- You get it?
- Mmm.
So you better forget regular office hours.
Any kind of downtime,
you can kiss that goodbye. Yoga classes.
You better tell your boyfriend now
that you probably
- You won't have time for him.
- Mmm.
- You sure you're ready for that?
- I'm ready. I'm single anyway.
Ready?
Where you going?
You ever dealt with kids addicted
to huffing glue?
Twelve-year-old girls being gang raped
by kids the same age?
Kids walking around
with guns in their hands,
just to make themselves look tough?
- No.
- No. You never seen that?
And how will you react one day
if a kid's harassing you?
Says that you're a bitch?
- Or grabs your boob? What happens?
- I've known worse.
I'm not gonna tell you about my life,
but I'm strong.
Test me. Let me prove it.
You decide if I pass.
- Oh yeah?
- Mmm.
First, get rid of your little butterfly.

till morning, right?
Cops hate social workers.
We're on different sides.
You get that, don't you?
[footsteps approach]
[Guillaume sighs]
[Judith] What's your problem with me?
[sighs]
What do you mean?
You've been kind of a dick all day.
So what's your problem?
[scoffs] I have no problem with you.
- Really no problem?
- [Guillaume] No.
Good morning.
Can I speak with Judith, please?
NICE, PRESENT DAY
[man on phone] Judith?
No. Sorry, wrong number.
All right, sorry. Have a nice day.
[receiver clatters]
[phone ringing]
Yeah, Sergio.
[Sergio on phone] Guillaume,
you need to come meet me.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [Sergio] Hi, guys.
- [Daco] Hey, how's it going? All right?
[Sergio] Precious?
Hello, Precious.
Tell them what you told me.
This gentleman is Judith's partner.
[dog barking]
Well, she was here.
And she had this bag.
Was in a hurry.
Then this guy came.
He, um, grabbed her sack.
She hit him. He peaced out.
- When?
- [Precious] Thursday.
But how do you know that?
'Cause the medical aid truck
was over there.
And the medical aid truck comes
every Thursday.
They hand out syringes, and tampons
You better not miss it.
Precious, are you sure it was Judith
a hundred percent?
[Precious] Yeah, it was her.
All this cash was in her bag,
so I don't know.
She had cash?
There was wind. It flew away.
She grabbed it, put it in her pockets,
in her bag,
and she fell.
She got home
and had dirt all over her jeans.
Uh, thank you.
[tense music playing]
[Guillaume] You guys finished pretty late.
[Judith] I went through the Parc du Ray,
and, well, I tripped 'cause I was rushing.
NICE, OCTOBER 2017
[Judith coughing]
[continues coughing]
- [Guillaume] Are you okay?
- [coughing]
Judith, you all right?
[gasping]
[Guillaume] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hey, hey. Shh!
- Breathe.
- [gasping]
Do you need medicine?
[wheezing]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You okay?
[coughing]
Shit. Judith!
- [continues wheezing]
- Hey, hey, it's okay.
Shh, shh, come on.
Breathe! Just breathe! How can I help you?
- [wheezing]
- [Guillaume] Hey!
- [banging]
- Hey! Hey!
- [coughs, gasps]
- [Guillaume] Shh!
Hey, hey, hey, breathe, breathe.
Here, sit up, sit up, sit up.
NICE, PRESENT DAY
- [breathes deeply]
- [dialing]
- [line ringing]
- [smacking lips]
- [man on phone] Hello?
- Hello, Weego?
[Weego] Who's this?
Yeah, I work with Judith.
Is she with you by any chance?
She told me to call you at this number.
She said she'd be there.
- Is she there?
- [line disconnects]
Hello?
Why do you need Weego?
Come on, do you know the guy or not?
I've seen him in here.
They say he's the guy
with the strong stuff.
He's a middleman.
He'll take you from point A to point B.
Like the subway.
[man] I know him.
He hangs out with all those crack dealers.
Whenever he saves up some money,
he'd stay with them
and get high for a couple of days.
[indistinct chatter]
You know Weego?
Weego?
[indistinct yelling]
Excuse me. Weego?
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[people yelling]
[all yelling]
[grunts]
- [Guillaume] Wait!
- [Daco] We just want to talk to you!
[Guillaume] Wait!
We're not cops! Dude, we're not cops!
- We just want to talk to you! Just wait!
- [Guillaume] Hey, what're you doing?
[panting]
Oh, fucking bitch!
[panting]
Fuck!
What did Judith have to do with this guy?
[Daco] I don't know. [panting]
Don't die on me.
[breathing heavily]
[wheezing]
You okay?
- You good?
- [breathing heavily]
Oh, fuck.
[breathing heavily]
Fuck, you scared me.
I thought you were dying.
It feels like that.
[Guillaume breathing heavily]
You okay?
[tense music playing]
I lost the two people I loved the most
because I got there too late.
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
[door opens, closes]
Come on. Get out.
- [Guillaume] What time is it?
- 7:00.
[sighs]
Shit, Isaac!
[indistinct chatter]
[panting]
- [bell tolling]
- [brakes squeal]
Oh, shit! We missed him. We're late.
"We"?
[sighs]
Hey, bro, I woke up.
Come on. Do you think
we'll get there in 20 minutes?
- My car's parked just over there.
- Okay, let's go! Hurry!
[solemn music playing]
Look, man, what do I tell the judge?
That I read books about European history
or books by Tolkien?
That I took a writing course?
Yeah, say that.
[Judith] And don't forget to use
all the formalities.
"Hello, Your Honor."
"If you'll allow me, Your Honor."
"Goodbye, Your Honor." [chuckles]
[Guillaume] You sure you got 'em all?
Isaac, don't listen to her.
Let's not overdo it.
[chuckles]
Hey, how about my collection
of plates from stolen cars?
Oh yeah, sure. Brilliant.
[laughs] You're gonna make
quite the impression.
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
Thanks for the ride.
I'm gonna go with him to make sure
that he doesn't back out on us.
Okay, great. I'll leave you alone
and maybe take a shower.
- Yeah, I think you better.
- [laughs]
Guys, what about me?
What do I tell the judge?
Sorry. Come on, let's go.
Hey! So, then, did I pass?
I'm not sure yet. I better go.
I'll call you, okay? I'll think about it.
[gentle music playing]
LIBERTY
NICE, PRESENT DAY
[woman] Guillaume Lucchesi?
Céline Celoria, Nice Police Department.
- Good evening.
- Étienne Chomard, from the Paris Police.
[inhales deeply]
I've been looking for her all day.
I'm worried about
what may have happened to her.
If I knew where she was
The last message that she sent you,
what did it say?
All it said was that she loved me
and she always would.
Was there anything else?
Was she acting normally?
Did she seem nervous?
What's going on? Come on, tell me.
Is she okay? Did anything happen to her?
[Chomard] If you don't mind,
just answer the question, Mr. Lucchesi.
No, nothing was different. She
She was completely normal.
Nothing had changed.
Just tell me.
[Celoria] These photos were taken
two days ago in Ivry.
These two men are connected
to organized crime.
We managed to find some hair and fibers
under their fingernails.
The DNA test revealed
that they belong
to your partner, Judith Conti.
