[GRUNTING.]
[RODRIGUE.]

I got something big to show you.
Leave her alone.
What's your problem? You want her? [REDA.]
Do you like her or what? Shut the fuck up! [REDA.]
I don't want to go on.
- I can't go on.
- [OUSMANE.]
It's too late.
- We can't go back.
- [REDA.]
Of course we can! [OUSMANE.]
You're already part of it.
It's too late.
[REDA.]
What are you talking about? Stop it! - [OUSMANE.]
Stop that! - If want to stop, I stop, that's all.
[OUSMANE.]
Stop making noise, they'll hear you.
- You okay, guys? - We're okay.
- Are you sure? - It's okay.
Don't worry.
Listen to me.
It's all over.
You're gonna split? You're gonna fuck me up? Fuck, you knew what we were doing from the start.
Stop it! Let me go.
I'm warning you, Reda.
What's this? Is that to protect you from him or me? [OUSMANE.]
Fuck, we're making easy money! Why can't you stay in your lane? Isn't that what you wanted? Because I'm better than this.
Luisa.
Luisa.
[SOFIANE GROANING.]

[GASPING.]
- [SOFIANE.]
So? - [VICTOR.]
On his phone There's the whole video.
Audrey's got to see it.
She saw our powers.
She saw our powers! What do we do? [PANTING.]
I've got an idea.
Get up.
We have to try something.
I need your help.
Wake up, Victor.
Fuck, wake up.

Come on.
Yeah! That's what we want to see.
[RODRIGUE LAUGHING.]
Look, guys.
I'm with Luisa.
Look at her.
[CHEERING.]
Don't touch it.
Why are you using my phone? Go on.
Go on, fuck.
Move your body.
You like being touched, don't you? You like that.
Go on! [SCHOOL BELL RINGING.]
[STUDENTS TALKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
[LAUGHING.]
- [SOFIANE.]
Your power makes me sick.
- [VICTOR.]
Sorry.
Ousmane! That son of the bitch.
We gotta find him.
- Maybe I misunderstood.
- Did he have the knife? - What more do you need? - We can't go there right now.
Of course we can.
[SOFIANE VOMITS.]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
My mom keeps calling me.
Just answer it and tell her to chill a little.
Yes, Mom.
No, but I was with Sofiane, I had Yes, I'm innocent.
So you believe the counselor but not me? No, I'm not coming home.
I'm staying at Sofiane's.
Good evening.
You thought you could barge in like that? [SOFIANE.]
Hi, Mom.
Do you mind if he stays here tonight? First you bring back a weird cat, and now him? Of course he can stay.
But in your room, okay? [SOFIANE.]
I wasn't gonna offer him Reda's.
[LAMIA.]
Sofiane You know I never believed that you hurt that girl, right? It'd be cool if Dad thought the same.
Mrs.
Kada.
I wanted to tell you that your son is a really good guy.
You're lucky to have him.
Why do you want to post anything concerning me? Of course he's nice.
When he wants.
[WOMAN.]
Go in without knocking.
She never answers.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[LUISA.]
How are you, Tatiana? Your mother didn't recognize me.
I should have come sooner.
[TATIANA.]
What do you want? We were never friends.
If you're here, then you must want something.
[LUISA.]
I want to know how you got like this.
Listen, I'll get straight to the point.
Did you go to a party that ended badly and then wake up on a bench without shoes? How did you know? Rodrigue did the same thing to me and And there are others.
I think he drugged us and maybe worse.
I came here to tell you that he can't hurt you anymore.
The school told the police.
We'll have to testify against him.
I never talked to Rodrigue.
He wasn't even at the party.
Then who were you with? Sofiane? No.
It was Ousmane that invited me.
[RAP SONG PLAYING.]
If it really was Ousmane everybody will know that Reda is dead.
Your parents are going to need you.
They're gonna say that the wrong son died.
Stop it.
You can't say that.
You need to stay calm.
You need some rest.
You need to relax.
- And so do I.
- We have to find Ousmane.
- Pass me that joint.
- [COUGHING.]
Easy.
[CHUCKLES.]
My mom seriously liked you.
We should switch families.
My mom would never want you.
I don't care about your mom as long as your sister digs me.
And Laurent.
Above all.
- Laurent.
- Laurent.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
How funny.
[IMITATES LAURENT.]
"All good, kids? All good, kids?" "Hi, kids!" "Have fun.
" [BOTH LAUGHING.]
"Do you want a Coke?" [LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHING.]
- Stop laughing like that.
- I can't stop.
Oh, shit.
I wanted to tell you something super important.
But I forgot.
Yeah, you're high, buddy.
I'm not.
I feel good.
Do you usually feel good? [BOTH LAUGHING.]
Oh! That's awesome.
[OBÃ.]
You two having fun? [MUSIC STOPS.]
Tomorrow, we'll be done.
Tomorrow? So you're both ready to go all the way? We're going to kill Ousmane.
Then you'll be able to go back home.
[OBÃ.]
So I'll go back home.
We'll never see each other again You and me.
You've never asked me where I am, when I'm not here with you.
I'm in a place that looks like your world but it's empty, it's cold and I'm alone.
Always all alone.
And when I'm here, with you I burn.
[GROANS SOFTLY.]
Maybe I deserve it? [OBÃ COUGHS.]
Maybe I don't have any right to all of this.
Obé, you should leave.
[GROWLS.]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING.]
But Ousmane was in on it, too? I don't know.
I've gotta talk to him.
I'd already be at his place if I didn't have to go to this fucking appointment! We should've skipped.
Yeah, the rapists are back.
Go on, look somewhere else! She just wants us to explain ourselves.
And we'll see if Luisa's doing okay.
Who gives a shit, bro? The great artist accuses us of rape and now we have to listen to her? - She thought I was - dangerous.
If Ousmane's drugging people to do I don't know what, you can't go there all alone.
- I can't accuse him without proof.
- Yeah.
Not like with Victor and Sofiane.
I'm still sure Sofiane's hiding something.
Why are you fixated on him like this? He's a manipulator.
Look what he's doing to Victor.
Nobody would hang out with him unless they were forced to.
Can you imagine how hard it must have been for her? For her? For her? Are you serious? Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Bro.
Don't tell me you're into Luisa? [SCOFFS.]
You're into Luisa? I was sure he's hiding stuff, but not something major like that.
No, I'm not into her.
That's why you wanted us to force Rodrigue to walk around naked.
You wanted to avenge her.
I thought you never lied.
- You're into her.
- No, I'm not.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Rodrigue is going to have a big problem because of the video and for exposing himself.
So things will calm down now, and I'd like that to be the same between you three.
Okay? [SOFIANE.]
You've got a short-term memory.
Because of her, we got suspended and reamed out by our parents.
- She should be on her knees, apologizing.
- Keep dreaming.
- Luisa.
- [SOFIANE.]
You see her attitude? Right, that's normal.
Go on.
Luisa, if you want to, you could make a gesture toward the boys.
If you want to.
I'm sorry.
There you go.
I'm really sorry, Victor.
Hey, you know what? - He doesn't forgive you.
And neither do I.
- [SIGHS.]
[LUISA.]
Can I go now, ma'am? - Can I go? - Yeah.
If you don't feel well, - come and see me.
- [LUISA.]
Don't worry about me.
[SOFIANE STUTTERS.]
Does she think this school belongs to her daddy? Thanks for everything, ma'am.
Really.
It was cool.
Let's get out of here.
- Well.
- Have a good day.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
GRANDMA ELIZABETH CLAIRVOYANT, MEDIUM, HEALER.
APPOINTMENTS BY TELEPHONE ONLY - I really do feel better.
- That's great.
- Take it.
- Thank you, Grandma.
Thanks a lot.
- Come back whenever you want.
- Okay.
Thank you.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- Good afternoon.
- No, I'm on my break.
Come back later.
I'm Ms.
Jourdan, the counselor at Luisa's high school.
I know who you are.
But Luisa isn't back yet.
I'm here to talk about what you did to Modibo.
He seems to be doing better, but it's a placebo.
He's going to have a relapse and come back here and his parents will ruin themselves to pay you.
What you're doing is wrong.
And you work for free? But that is completely different.
No, it isn't.
I get results.
You don't.
You don't know anything about me.
Everyone knows about young Laurine.
You can't manage to get her out of your head.
[SIGHS.]
I'd just like to know if I could've helped her.
So I can move on.
Here.
Take this.
Place the first one under Laurine's pillow.
The second one under your own.
You'll get your answers.
Your juju isn't going to help me.
Sorry, I don't believe in that stuff.
[GASPS SOFTLY.]
And yet I can see traces of "this" all over you.
Take them.
It's free.
As thanks for taking care of my Luisa.
Take them.
[VICTOR.]
I don't want it degenerating.
[SOFIANE.]
Yeah, don't worry.
We'll do it like we did at Bastien's.
Mmm.
[OUSMANE.]
You're hallucinating, you crazy skank! - Get out of my house! - [SOFIANE.]
We have to talk to you.
Wait your turn, Sofiane.
You, shut up and leave.
Leave! What did you do to all those people you drugged? Why did we all wake up in the park? - Answer me.
- Not in front of Luisa.
[OUSMANE.]
You don't know what you're getting yourself into.
- [LUISA.]
Answer me.
- Get out of here, Luisa! - Answer me.
- Let's calm down.
We can talk quietly.
All of you get the hell out of my house! Answer me! What did you do to us? Sorry, I'm all out of patience.
[VICTOR SCREAMS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[OUSMANE.]
Fuck! [VICTOR.]
Sofiane, stop it! Sofiane, stop it! [PANTING AND GROANING.]
[BOTH SCREAMING.]
[VICTOR.]
Sofiane, stop it! - What's happening? It isn't me! - [VICTOR.]
Stop! - [VICTOR.]
Shut up! - [GASPS.]
- [OUSMANE GROANS.]
- Victor, read his mind.
- What did you do to my brother, asshole? - [SCREAMING.]
Nothing.
I didn't do anything to Reda.
- Victor! - I swear, I didn't do anything.
[GROANS.]
[SOFIANE.]
Victor! [VICTOR.]
Not like this! [GRUNTS.]
- [VICTOR.]
We're not doing it like this! - [LUISA SCREAMS AND PANTS.]
[GROANS.]
We said we wouldn't do it like this.
Get off me! [GRUNTING.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[GROANING.]
It was you who killed my brother.
He's the guilty one.
Kill him.
- No, Sofiane! - Kill him like he killed Reda.
- [VICTOR.]
Don't listen to him! - Shut up, Obé! All of you shut up! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[LUISA.]
Obé? [BOTH SCREAMING.]
Obé? [OUSMANE.]
I swear, I didn't kill him.
Kill him so we can finish this.
[SCREAMS.]
- Victor.
- [SCREAMING.]
Sofiane, stop it! [LUISA.]
What's wrong? [SCREAMING.]
[LUISA.]
Sofiane! - [GROANS.]
- [SCREAMS.]
- [WHIMPERING.]
- Get me out of the house.
Far away from Sofiane! Get me out of here! [SOFIANE.]
Talk.
You didn't know your brother.
You knew him better than anyone.
[OUSMANE COUGHS.]
He died because he was dealing.
He died for weed? He wasn't dealing weed.
He was dealing people.
[BOTH GROANING.]
They paid us to bring in people from school after we drugged them.
- You're lying! - He wants to shame your brother.
- Avenge him! - You killed him with your knife.
The guy we work for stole it from me.
He killed Reda.
If I talk, he's gonna pin everything on me.
- Who is this guy? - I don't know.
I don't know his name, I've never seen his face.
He's manipulating you to save his skin.
[STRAINING.]
- [OBÃ.]
Stop her! - [BOTH SCREAM.]
[INAUDIBLE.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GROANING.]
[SCREAMS.]
[YELLS.]
[GROANS.]
[LAUGHTER ECHOING.]
[SOFIANE.]
Your cake is disgusting.
[LAMIA.]
It's not my cake.
I bought it.
I didn't have time to bake it.
[KARIM.]
Then again, I didn't marry you for your cooking.
[LAMIA.]
You're a bunch of spoiled ingrates.
I'm in the minority here.
[REDA.]
As soon as I get rich, I will hire you a cook.
[KARIM.]
Here we go.
[REDA.]
It's a state of mind.
The law of attraction.
You have to make things happen.
- Then start by passing your final exam.
- [KARIM.]
Exactly.
[REDA.]
The exam means nothing.
I'm talking to you about building something.
Like in a real city where there are interesting people and a real cake without this loser with his candle.
- Take this.
- Not in my cake, bro.
It's not my birthday.
Fuck.
Come on, present time.
[REDA.]
Yeah, the presents.
[SOFIANE.]
Bro, you're gonna like this one.
[CHUCKLES.]
- [REDA.]
You're giving me presents now? - [SOFIANE.]
Open it.
[REDA.]
Man, you're crazy.
- [SOFIANE.]
Do you like it? - [REDA.]
Of course.
- [KARIM.]
That's a nice gift.
- [SOFIANE.]
It's secondhand.
There's a hole in the lining, but it's okay.
[LAMIA.]
Hug your brother.
Yeah, hug your brother.
This doesn't change anything.
Get on my bike, I break your legs.
- [SOFIANE.]
Come on, stop.
- Shut up.
- [SOFIANE.]
Don't be a bastard.
- [SHUSHING.]
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
I'm going to get something to drink.
Laurine, what are you doing here? Why are you barging into my house like this? Are you crazy? You weren't answering my calls.
- What happened to me at the party? - I don't know what you're talking about.
The party you took me to.
I don't remember anything.
You started acting weird and then you took off.
That's it.
There was a man with me.
He wore a hood.
I couldn't see his face.
I don't know what he did to me.
I can't leave my house anymore.
I can't sleep anymore.
My feet are burning.
You're a big girl.
I don't care about your life.
So leave and forget me.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- [LAMIA.]
Who was it? - [REDA.]
Nobody.
- Do you want some? - Yeah.
Sofiane? Get out of my head.
Is it true? Reda is dead? [SNIFFLES.]
You have to tell my grandmother everything.
You two are out of your minds! - Making a pact with Obé? - It was him who came to us.
Don't tell me any tales, boy.
- Gods never come to mortals.
- He did! He didn't have a choice.
He's trapped here.
Obé, trapped here? [VICTOR.]
That's what he told us.
- Grandma.
Grandma, what are you doing? - Ah! Hey! Stop it! - He has no marks.
It's not too late.
- What marks? The uninitiated who practice voodoo get eaten away from the inside.
They go insane.
I've seen it before, in the old country.
Believe me, it's not a pretty sight.
Wait.
What if they use their powers, Grandma? They will be devoured by leprosy.
No.
Can you take them from me? - What a god has done, I cannot undo.
- You have to help him.
Grandma.
Okay.
I'll take care of Obé.
And you, stop using your powers.
It's like a drug.
You have to wean yourself off it.
It's your only hope for survival.
Obé won't go down without a fight.
That is no longer your concern.
You've already done quite enough.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Okay, leave now.
- [VICTOR.]
We have to help Sofiane, too.
- [GRANDMA.]
Hervé! - [HERVÃ.]
Hello, Grandma.
- Come in.
Thanks.
- Hello, Luisa.
- Hello.
[GROANS.]
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- [SIGHS.]
[GRANDMA.]
What is it this time, Hervé? You shouldn't doubt your brother.
How how could he do such a horrible thing? You're accusing someone who can no longer defend himself.
Laurine She wanted to know what he did to her.
And I didn't understand anything.
I didn't even see it.
He was a scumbag.
He's your brother.
He will always be your brother.
You have to keep looking.
You can't abandon him.
You're stuck here and you're going to die here.
You're scared I'll abandon you.
But you won't.
Because you want to know the truth.
Quit acting like you care about me or Victor.
Stop it.
You're doing this for yourself and nobody else.
[COUGHING.]
Get out of here.
Go, get out of here.
You're pathetic.
Go on, eat your fries.
Is your arm better? How long have you two had powers? - Not long.
- Are you using them on people? Did you read my mind the first time you came to my house? No.
I did it once.
You thought you had feelings for me.
[LUISA.]
It's incredible.
Yeah.
They made us draw at the hospital.
It was the only good thing there.
What's wrong? [LUISA.]
I don't think I'll ever be good enough.
Even if it isn't drawing, it'll be something else.
Yeah, I'll be like my grandma.
I don't know.
But you're not an ordinary person.
You'll find a way to show that.
When I give these books away Will my ink betray me? Will my stories Resist wings and grow feet And convince men that I'm boasting? [CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
Or will my psalms seek SOFIANE - 6 MISSED CALLS MOM - 10 MISSED CALLS Will they inspire subtle lovers To kiss with mouths They don't have yet? What do you want? Well, to see you.
I hope my words Bring them something new Something new Are you thinking about your brother? I don't want to talk about it.
Every time you need to see me, it's because you're sad about Reda.
Don't you want to talk instead of fuck? - No.
- As you wish.
Your feet stink.
With you I can empty myself Of all my rivers And become a remarkable sky How could I keep MOTOR MECHANIC - NO QUALIFICATIONS AT THE HEART OF THE ARMY [SOFIANE.]
What are you doing? - Mélanie.
- Huh? - What are you doing? - I'm looking at stuff.
Naughty stuff? Come on, let me see.
Stop it, Sofiane.
Give it back.
- Stop it, Sofiane.
- Wait.
Wait.
What's this? - Is this a joke? - No.
Why? You want to be in the army? So? I don't know.
You don't really fit the profile.
I mean, I love your profile, but it's not really for you.
And what do you see me doing with my profile, you dumb idiot? Wait, chill.
I'm saying it for your own good.
You know, Sofiane? When you're not here, I miss you, and And then you ring my doorbell and I think my heart is going to explode.
But every time you leave, I feel worse than the last time.
That's what you do to me, Sofiane.
You're toxic for me.
So if I'm toxic, I'm leaving.
I deserve better than this.
Asshole! [AUTOMATED VOICE.]
Ninth floor.
You're wasting your time.
They're all spoiled.
And the tomatoes? The tomatoes are fine.
[IN CREOLE.]
Let me tell you.
Obé is here.
- Uh-huh.
- He is stuck in our world.
Trust me.
His spirit is among the mortals.
Are you sure, Elizabeth? He gave all his powers to two young boys who are not even initiated.
I'm going to alert the Désandans.
I'll keep you informed.
[GRANDMA.]
Mmm.
[IN FRENCH.]
Laurine.
You're here.
Are you okay? I heard you talking to me.
I followed your voice.
[SIGHS.]
I feel so guilty.
I should have been there for you.
I'm sorry.
But you were there for me.
That's why I threw myself out the window.
Everyone you try to help suffers because of you.
Because you're rotten to the core, Audrey.
Totally rotten to the core.
[GASPS.]
[PANTING.]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING.]
Dude.
I know that yesterday I was out of control.
I really screwed up.
I couldn't think straight.
- I'm really sorry.
- It's not your fault.
It's Obé's fault.
He's been using us from the beginning.
That's why we have to stop.
No.
No, no, no.
We can't stop without knowing.
Even if if Reda was a scumbag.
He didn't deserve to be killed like that.
Luisa's grandma says the powers are too dangerous, and they will destroy us from the inside.
Fuck, please don't make me beg you.
Because I'll do it.
If it's what you want, I'll do it.
I don't give a shit.
I'll get on my knees right now.
Stop it.
You don't understand.
If we continue, we'll go insane.
We'll get marks, as if we're sick.
It's Luisa, isn't it? - It's got nothing to do with her.
- Come on, stop.
That chick shows up, pretends she's in to you for two minutes and you forget your promise.
You forget your friend, just like that.
You make me sick, Victor.
You're a fucking traitor.
It's not Luisa.
It's you, it's the powers.
Can't you see it's like a drug? It's toxic, Sofiane.
[TEACHER.]
The thermal effects of a reaction.
Let me remind you that a chemical reaction is the transition of a chemical system from an initial state to a final state.
Is that clear? I'm waiting for an answer.
Right.
Now, the food we eat We will also see the dilution of products and the comparative color scale.
LUISA: See you in the hallway after class? The equation for the reaction, the combustions, et cetera, et cetera.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Victor.
[LUISA.]
We need to find the list with the names of all the hikikos.
Surely one of them remembers something.
Wow! Did you find it? I found something, yeah.
[VICTOR.]
They might have drawn Obé.
[WOMAN.]
Hey, come on, move.
- Someone's coming.
- What? Somebody's coming! [LUISA.]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Under here.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[BOTH SIGH.]
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS.]
Can we talk, just the two of us? You can speak in front of him if you have something to say.
Okay.
I wanted to say that I didn't realize what had happened to you before you showed the videos.
If I had, I would never have been such a bitch.
Honestly, I think I was jealous.
I lost it.
Anyway, I miss you and I'm sorry.
Okay, you're pissed, but that's no reason to ditch me and hang out with people like Victor.
What do you mean, "people like Victor"? If I have to, I could be friends with him.
Hi, Victor, what's up? But you realize people will think he's your boyfriend, right? Seriously? [LUISA.]
Please, Victor.
Wait for me, fuck.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's me.
I can't stand people touching me.
Okay.
But it's okay.
It's getting better.
Thanks to Sofiane.
Nice.
No, not I mean I didn't mean it like that.
I get it.
So I guess now I understand your haircut better.
If the hairdresser can't touch you, it's hard.
[WHISPERING.]
If I touch you like this, is it okay? Mmm-hmm.
Like this? [IN CREOLE.]
No problem.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
[SIGHS.]
[OBÃ IN FRENCH.]
You don't even deserve his anger anymore.
He despises you.
You'll always be the bad son to them.
No matter what you do.
Even when you were accused of rape, they didn't defend you.
They'll never be there for you.
They'll never love you like they loved Reda.
I know how you feel.
My parents are the same.
You want to run away.
But there's nowhere to go.
I guess you're also stuck.
Stop thinking about Victor.
You can do it without him.
Now it's just you, me and Reda's killer.
Find him and kill him.
[YELLS.]
[LUISA.]
Look.
There's always the same shape on all the drawings.
Here, here.
Do you want me to try and do something about your hair? Please? Hmm? Don't move.
I won't give Settle in Sure as a shadow Never quit Seconds bloom - [GASPS SOFTLY.]
- [CHUCKLES.]
Every move Right in time In time Woven slow Just enough Secret is braided In between Feel it shaking And set free [CAT MEOWS.]

Stay here, Modibo.

Stay there.
[MAN.]
Tell me.
I want to know.
Tell me! [IN DEMONIC VOICE.]
Only one god will agree to give you what you want.
But he'll ask you to break the great taboo.
He would demand a human sacrifice.
[MAN.]
A human? [MODIBO.]
You'll have to kill a mortal for him.
Spill the blood of a mortal for him.
Gut a mortal for him.
[MAN.]
I'm ready to kill.
Give me the name of this god.
[MODIBO.]
He's called Obé! Obé.
[SOFIANE.]
Rodrigue! Rodrigue, come back! - [RODRIGUE.]
Ma'am! - [AUDREY.]
What's happening? - Sofiane! - [SOFIANE.]
Sleep! [SOFIANE GRUNTS.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- Are you okay, dude? - [VICTOR.]
It's your power [SOFIANE.]
Come on.
Get over there.
[BOTH PANTING.]
- Are you okay? - What do we do? First, Rodrigue.
Go inside his head.
Find proof that it was him.
Go ahead.
- You can do it.
- Turn him over.
[SOFIANE.]
Come on.
Go on.
[GRUNTING.]
[RODRIGUE.]
Uh Laurine! Come to the bathroom with me.
I got something big to show you.
Leave her alone.
What's your problem? You want her? [REDA.]
Do you like her or what? Shut the fuck up! [REDA.]
I don't want to go on.
- I can't go on.
- [OUSMANE.]
It's too late.
- We can't go back.
- [REDA.]
Of course we can! [OUSMANE.]
You're already part of it.
It's too late.
[REDA.]
What are you talking about? Stop it! - [OUSMANE.]
Stop that! - If want to stop, I stop, that's all.
[OUSMANE.]
Stop making noise, they'll hear you.
- You okay, guys? - We're okay.
- Are you sure? - It's okay.
Don't worry.
Listen to me.
It's all over.
You're gonna split? You're gonna fuck me up? Fuck, you knew what we were doing from the start.
Stop it! Let me go.
I'm warning you, Reda.
What's this? Is that to protect you from him or me? [OUSMANE.]
Fuck, we're making easy money! Why can't you stay in your lane? Isn't that what you wanted? Because I'm better than this.
Luisa.
Luisa.
[SOFIANE GROANING.]
[RODRIGUE.]
Take off your pants! - Come on! Come on! - [LUISA CRIES.]
[RODRIGUE.]
Dance for me.

[LUISA SCREAMS.]
[RODRIGUE.]
Do it! Do it! [LUISA SCREAMS.]
[GASPING.]
- [SOFIANE.]
So? - [VICTOR.]
On his phone There's the whole video.
Audrey's got to see it.
She saw our powers.
She saw our powers! What do we do? [PANTING.]
I've got an idea.
Get up.
We have to try something.
I need your help.
Wake up, Victor.
Fuck, wake up.
[RODRIGUE ON VIDEO.]
Come on, take off your top.
Stay there.
- Stay there.
Fuck.
Come on, take it off.
- [GASPING.]
Show me your tits.
Come on.
Yeah! That's what we want to see.
[RODRIGUE LAUGHING.]
Look, guys.
I'm with Luisa.
Look at her.
[CHEERING.]
Don't touch it.
Why are you using my phone? Go on.
Go on, fuck.
Move your body.
You like being touched, don't you? You like that.
Go on! [SCHOOL BELL RINGING.]
[STUDENTS TALKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
[LAUGHING.]
- [SOFIANE.]
Your power makes me sick.
- [VICTOR.]
Sorry.
Ousmane! That son of the bitch.
We gotta find him.
- Maybe I misunderstood.
- Did he have the knife? - What more do you need? - We can't go there right now.
Of course we can.
[SOFIANE VOMITS.]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
My mom keeps calling me.
Just answer it and tell her to chill a little.
Yes, Mom.
No, but I was with Sofiane, I had Yes, I'm innocent.
So you believe the counselor but not me? No, I'm not coming home.
I'm staying at Sofiane's.
Good evening.
You thought you could barge in like that? [SOFIANE.]
Hi, Mom.
Do you mind if he stays here tonight? First you bring back a weird cat, and now him? Of course he can stay.
But in your room, okay? [SOFIANE.]
I wasn't gonna offer him Reda's.
[LAMIA.]
Sofiane You know I never believed that you hurt that girl, right? It'd be cool if Dad thought the same.
Mrs.
Kada.
I wanted to tell you that your son is a really good guy.
You're lucky to have him.
Why do you want to post anything concerning me? Of course he's nice.
When he wants.
[WOMAN.]
Go in without knocking.
She never answers.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[LUISA.]
How are you, Tatiana? Your mother didn't recognize me.
I should have come sooner.
[TATIANA.]
What do you want? We were never friends.
If you're here, then you must want something.
[LUISA.]
I want to know how you got like this.
Listen, I'll get straight to the point.
Did you go to a party that ended badly and then wake up on a bench without shoes? How did you know? Rodrigue did the same thing to me and And there are others.
I think he drugged us and maybe worse.
I came here to tell you that he can't hurt you anymore.
The school told the police.
We'll have to testify against him.
I never talked to Rodrigue.
He wasn't even at the party.
Then who were you with? Sofiane? No.
It was Ousmane that invited me.
[RAP SONG PLAYING.]
If it really was Ousmane everybody will know that Reda is dead.
Your parents are going to need you.
They're gonna say that the wrong son died.
Stop it.
You can't say that.
You need to stay calm.
You need some rest.
You need to relax.
- And so do I.
- We have to find Ousmane.
- Pass me that joint.
- [COUGHING.]
Easy.
[CHUCKLES.]
My mom seriously liked you.
We should switch families.
My mom would never want you.
I don't care about your mom as long as your sister digs me.
And Laurent.
Above all.
- Laurent.
- Laurent.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
How funny.
[IMITATES LAURENT.]
"All good, kids? All good, kids?" "Hi, kids!" "Have fun.
" [BOTH LAUGHING.]
"Do you want a Coke?" [LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHING.]
- Stop laughing like that.
- I can't stop.
Oh, shit.
I wanted to tell you something super important.
But I forgot.
Yeah, you're high, buddy.
I'm not.
I feel good.
Do you usually feel good? [BOTH LAUGHING.]
Oh! That's awesome.
[OBÃ.]
You two having fun? [MUSIC STOPS.]
Tomorrow, we'll be done.
Tomorrow? So you're both ready to go all the way? We're going to kill Ousmane.
Then you'll be able to go back home.
[OBÃ.]
So I'll go back home.
We'll never see each other again You and me.
You've never asked me where I am, when I'm not here with you.
I'm in a place that looks like your world but it's empty, it's cold and I'm alone.
Always all alone.
And when I'm here, with you I burn.
[GROANS SOFTLY.]
Maybe I deserve it? [OBÃ COUGHS.]
Maybe I don't have any right to all of this.
Obé, you should leave.
[GROWLS.]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING.]
But Ousmane was in on it, too? I don't know.
I've gotta talk to him.
I'd already be at his place if I didn't have to go to this fucking appointment! We should've skipped.
Yeah, the rapists are back.
Go on, look somewhere else! She just wants us to explain ourselves.
And we'll see if Luisa's doing okay.
Who gives a shit, bro? The great artist accuses us of rape and now we have to listen to her? - She thought I was - dangerous.
If Ousmane's drugging people to do I don't know what, you can't go there all alone.
- I can't accuse him without proof.
- Yeah.
Not like with Victor and Sofiane.
I'm still sure Sofiane's hiding something.
Why are you fixated on him like this? He's a manipulator.
Look what he's doing to Victor.
Nobody would hang out with him unless they were forced to.
Can you imagine how hard it must have been for her? For her? For her? Are you serious? Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Bro.
Don't tell me you're into Luisa? [SCOFFS.]
You're into Luisa? I was sure he's hiding stuff, but not something major like that.
No, I'm not into her.
That's why you wanted us to force Rodrigue to walk around naked.
You wanted to avenge her.
I thought you never lied.
- You're into her.
- No, I'm not.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Rodrigue is going to have a big problem because of the video and for exposing himself.
So things will calm down now, and I'd like that to be the same between you three.
Okay? [SOFIANE.]
You've got a short-term memory.
Because of her, we got suspended and reamed out by our parents.
- She should be on her knees, apologizing.
- Keep dreaming.
- Luisa.
- [SOFIANE.]
You see her attitude? Right, that's normal.
Go on.
Luisa, if you want to, you could make a gesture toward the boys.
If you want to.
I'm sorry.
There you go.
I'm really sorry, Victor.
Hey, you know what? - He doesn't forgive you.
And neither do I.
- [SIGHS.]
[LUISA.]
Can I go now, ma'am? - Can I go? - Yeah.
If you don't feel well, - come and see me.
- [LUISA.]
Don't worry about me.
[SOFIANE STUTTERS.]
Does she think this school belongs to her daddy? Thanks for everything, ma'am.
Really.
It was cool.
Let's get out of here.
- Well.
- Have a good day.

GRANDMA ELIZABETH CLAIRVOYANT, MEDIUM, HEALER.
APPOINTMENTS BY TELEPHONE ONLY - I really do feel better.

Thanks a lot.
- Come back whenever you want.
- Okay.
Thank you.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- Good afternoon.
- No, I'm on my break.
Come back later.
I'm Ms.
Jourdan, the counselor at Luisa's high school.
I know who you are.
But Luisa isn't back yet.
I'm here to talk about what you did to Modibo.
He seems to be doing better, but it's a placebo.
He's going to have a relapse and come back here and his parents will ruin themselves to pay you.
What you're doing is wrong.
And you work for free? But that is completely different.
No, it isn't.
I get results.
You don't.
You don't know anything about me.
Everyone knows about young Laurine.
You can't manage to get her out of your head.
[SIGHS.]
I'd just like to know if I could've helped her.
So I can move on.
Here.
Take this.
Place the first one under Laurine's pillow.
The second one under your own.
You'll get your answers.
Your juju isn't going to help me.
Sorry, I don't believe in that stuff.
[GASPS SOFTLY.]
And yet I can see traces of "this" all over you.
Take them.
It's free.
As thanks for taking care of my Luisa.
Take them.
[VICTOR.]
I don't want it degenerating.
[SOFIANE.]
Yeah, don't worry.
We'll do it like we did at Bastien's.
Mmm.
[OUSMANE.]
You're hallucinating, you crazy skank! - Get out of my house! - [SOFIANE.]
We have to talk to you.
Wait your turn, Sofiane.
You, shut up and leave.
Leave! What did you do to all those people you drugged? Why did we all wake up in the park? - Answer me.
- Not in front of Luisa.
[OUSMANE.]
You don't know what you're getting yourself into.
- [LUISA.]
Answer me.
- Get out of here, Luisa! - Answer me.
- Let's calm down.
We can talk quietly.
All of you get the hell out of my house! Answer me! What did you do to us? Sorry, I'm all out of patience.
[VICTOR SCREAMS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[OUSMANE.]
Fuck! [VICTOR.]
Sofiane, stop it! Sofiane, stop it! [PANTING AND GROANING.]
[BOTH SCREAMING.]
[VICTOR.]
Sofiane, stop it! - What's happening? It isn't me! - [VICTOR.]
Stop! - [VICTOR.]
Shut up! - [GASPS.]
- [OUSMANE GROANS.]
- Victor, read his mind.
- What did you do to my brother, asshole? - [SCREAMING.]
Nothing.
I didn't do anything to Reda.
- Victor! - I swear, I didn't do anything.
[GROANS.]
[SOFIANE.]
Victor! [VICTOR.]
Not like this! [GRUNTS.]
- [VICTOR.]
We're not doing it like this! - [LUISA SCREAMS AND PANTS.]
[GROANS.]
We said we wouldn't do it like this.
Get off me! [GRUNTING.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[GROANING.]
It was you who killed my brother.
He's the guilty one.
Kill him.
- No, Sofiane! - Kill him like he killed Reda.
- [VICTOR.]
Don't listen to him! - Shut up, Obé! All of you shut up! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[LUISA.]
Obé? [BOTH SCREAMING.]
Obé? [OUSMANE.]
I swear, I didn't kill him.
Kill him so we can finish this.
[SCREAMS.]
- Victor.
- [SCREAMING.]
Sofiane, stop it! [LUISA.]
What's wrong? [SCREAMING.]
[LUISA.]
Sofiane! - [GROANS.]
- [SCREAMS.]
- [WHIMPERING.]
- Get me out of the house.
Far away from Sofiane! Get me out of here! [SOFIANE.]
Talk.
You didn't know your brother.
You knew him better than anyone.
[OUSMANE COUGHS.]
He died because he was dealing.
He died for weed? He wasn't dealing weed.
He was dealing people.
[BOTH GROANING.]
They paid us to bring in people from school after we drugged them.
- You're lying! - He wants to shame your brother.
- Avenge him! - You killed him with your knife.
The guy we work for stole it from me.
He killed Reda.
If I talk, he's gonna pin everything on me.
- Who is this guy? - I don't know.
I don't know his name, I've never seen his face.
He's manipulating you to save his skin.
[STRAINING.]

Stop her! - [BOTH SCREAM.]

Your cake is disgusting.
[LAMIA.]
It's not my cake.
I bought it.
I didn't have time to bake it.
[KARIM.]
Then again, I didn't marry you for your cooking.
[LAMIA.]
You're a bunch of spoiled ingrates.
I'm in the minority here.
[REDA.]
As soon as I get rich, I will hire you a cook.
[KARIM.]
Here we go.
[REDA.]
It's a state of mind.
The law of attraction.
You have to make things happen.
- Then start by passing your final exam.
- [KARIM.]
Exactly.
[REDA.]
The exam means nothing.
I'm talking to you about building something.
Like in a real city where there are interesting people and a real cake without this loser with his candle.
- Take this.
- Not in my cake, bro.
It's not my birthday.
Fuck.
Come on, present time.
[REDA.]
Yeah, the presents.
[SOFIANE.]
Bro, you're gonna like this one.
[CHUCKLES.]
- [REDA.]
You're giving me presents now? - [SOFIANE.]
Open it.
[REDA.]
Man, you're crazy.
- [SOFIANE.]
Do you like it? - [REDA.]
Of course.
- [KARIM.]
That's a nice gift.
- [SOFIANE.]
It's secondhand.
There's a hole in the lining, but it's okay.
[LAMIA.]
Hug your brother.
Yeah, hug your brother.
This doesn't change anything.
Get on my bike, I break your legs.
- [SOFIANE.]
Come on, stop.
- Shut up.
- [SOFIANE.]
Don't be a bastard.
- [SHUSHING.]
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
I'm going to get something to drink.
Laurine, what are you doing here? Why are you barging into my house like this? Are you crazy? You weren't answering my calls.
- What happened to me at the party? - I don't know what you're talking about.
The party you took me to.
I don't remember anything.
You started acting weird and then you took off.
That's it.
There was a man with me.
He wore a hood.
I couldn't see his face.
I don't know what he did to me.
I can't leave my house anymore.
I can't sleep anymore.
My feet are burning.
You're a big girl.
I don't care about your life.
So leave and forget me.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- [LAMIA.]
Who was it? - [REDA.]
Nobody.
- Do you want some? - Yeah.
Sofiane? Get out of my head.
Is it true? Reda is dead? [SNIFFLES.]
You have to tell my grandmother everything.
You two are out of your minds! - Making a pact with Obé? - It was him who came to us.
Don't tell me any tales, boy.
- Gods never come to mortals.
- He did! He didn't have a choice.
He's trapped here.
Obé, trapped here? [VICTOR.]
That's what he told us.
- Grandma.
Grandma, what are you doing? - Ah! Hey! Stop it! - He has no marks.
It's not too late.
- What marks? The uninitiated who practice voodoo get eaten away from the inside.
They go insane.
I've seen it before, in the old country.
Believe me, it's not a pretty sight.
Wait.
What if they use their powers, Grandma? They will be devoured by leprosy.
No.
Can you take them from me? - What a god has done, I cannot undo.
- You have to help him.
Grandma.
Okay.
I'll take care of Obé.
And you, stop using your powers.
It's like a drug.
You have to wean yourself off it.
It's your only hope for survival.
Obé won't go down without a fight.
That is no longer your concern.
You've already done quite enough.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Okay, leave now.
- [VICTOR.]
We have to help Sofiane, too.

Thanks.

- Hello.
[GROANS.]

[GRANDMA.]
What is it this time, Hervé? You shouldn't doubt your brother.
How how could he do such a horrible thing? You're accusing someone who can no longer defend himself.
Laurine She wanted to know what he did to her.
And I didn't understand anything.
I didn't even see it.
He was a scumbag.
He's your brother.
He will always be your brother.
You have to keep looking.
You can't abandon him.
You're stuck here and you're going to die here.
You're scared I'll abandon you.
But you won't.
Because you want to know the truth.
Quit acting like you care about me or Victor.
Stop it.
You're doing this for yourself and nobody else.
[COUGHING.]
Get out of here.
Go, get out of here.
You're pathetic.
Go on, eat your fries.
Is your arm better? How long have you two had powers? - Not long.
- Are you using them on people? Did you read my mind the first time you came to my house? No.
I did it once.
You thought you had feelings for me.
[LUISA.]
It's incredible.
Yeah.
They made us draw at the hospital.
It was the only good thing there.
What's wrong? [LUISA.]
I don't think I'll ever be good enough.
Even if it isn't drawing, it'll be something else.
Yeah, I'll be like my grandma.
I don't know.
But you're not an ordinary person.
You'll find a way to show that.
When I give these books away Will my ink betray me? Will my stories Resist wings and grow feet And convince men that I'm boasting? [CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
Or will my psalms seek SOFIANE - 6 MISSED CALLS MOM - 10 MISSED CALLS Will they inspire subtle lovers To kiss with mouths They don't have yet? What do you want? Well, to see you.
I hope my words Bring them something new Something new Are you thinking about your brother? I don't want to talk about it.
Every time you need to see me, it's because you're sad about Reda.
Don't you want to talk instead of fuck? - No.
- As you wish.
Your feet stink.
With you I can empty myself Of all my rivers And become a remarkable sky How could I keep MOTOR MECHANIC - NO QUALIFICATIONS AT THE HEART OF THE ARMY [SOFIANE.]
What are you doing? - Mélanie.
- Huh? - What are you doing? - I'm looking at stuff.
Naughty stuff? Come on, let me see.
Stop it, Sofiane.
Give it back.
- Stop it, Sofiane.
- Wait.
Wait.
What's this? - Is this a joke? - No.
Why? You want to be in the army? So? I don't know.
You don't really fit the profile.
I mean, I love your profile, but it's not really for you.
And what do you see me doing with my profile, you dumb idiot? Wait, chill.
I'm saying it for your own good.
You know, Sofiane? When you're not here, I miss you, and And then you ring my doorbell and I think my heart is going to explode.
But every time you leave, I feel worse than the last time.
That's what you do to me, Sofiane.
You're toxic for me.
So if I'm toxic, I'm leaving.
I deserve better than this.
Asshole! [AUTOMATED VOICE.]
Ninth floor.
You're wasting your time.
They're all spoiled.
And the tomatoes? The tomatoes are fine.
[IN CREOLE.]
Let me tell you.
Obé is here.
- Uh-huh.
- He is stuck in our world.
Trust me.
His spirit is among the mortals.
Are you sure, Elizabeth? He gave all his powers to two young boys who are not even initiated.
I'm going to alert the Désandans.
I'll keep you informed.
[GRANDMA.]
Mmm.
[IN FRENCH.]
Laurine.
You're here.
Are you okay? I heard you talking to me.
I followed your voice.
[SIGHS.]
I feel so guilty.
I should have been there for you.
I'm sorry.
But you were there for me.
That's why I threw myself out the window.
Everyone you try to help suffers because of you.
Because you're rotten to the core, Audrey.
Totally rotten to the core.
[GASPS.]

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING.]
Dude.
I know that yesterday I was out of control.
I really screwed up.
I couldn't think straight.
- I'm really sorry.
- It's not your fault.
It's Obé's fault.
He's been using us from the beginning.
That's why we have to stop.
No.
No, no, no.
We can't stop without knowing.
Even if if Reda was a scumbag.
He didn't deserve to be killed like that.
Luisa's grandma says the powers are too dangerous, and they will destroy us from the inside.
Fuck, please don't make me beg you.
Because I'll do it.
If it's what you want, I'll do it.
I don't give a shit.
I'll get on my knees right now.
Stop it.
You don't understand.
If we continue, we'll go insane.
We'll get marks, as if we're sick.
It's Luisa, isn't it? - It's got nothing to do with her.
- Come on, stop.
That chick shows up, pretends she's in to you for two minutes and you forget your promise.
You forget your friend, just like that.
You make me sick, Victor.
You're a fucking traitor.
It's not Luisa.
It's you, it's the powers.
Can't you see it's like a drug? It's toxic, Sofiane.

The thermal effects of a reaction.
Let me remind you that a chemical reaction is the transition of a chemical system from an initial state to a final state.
Is that clear? I'm waiting for an answer.
Right.
Now, the food we eat We will also see the dilution of products and the comparative color scale.
LUISA: See you in the hallway after class? The equation for the reaction, the combustions, et cetera, et cetera.

I wanted to say that I didn't realize what had happened to you before you showed the videos.
If I had, I would never have been such a bitch.
Honestly, I think I was jealous.
I lost it.
Anyway, I miss you and I'm sorry.
Okay, you're pissed, but that's no reason to ditch me and hang out with people like Victor.
What do you mean, "people like Victor"? If I have to, I could be friends with him.
Hi, Victor, what's up? But you realize people will think he's your boyfriend, right? Seriously? [LUISA.]
Please, Victor.
Wait for me, fuck.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's me.
I can't stand people touching me.
Okay.
But it's okay.
It's getting better.
Thanks to Sofiane.
Nice.
No, not I mean I didn't mean it like that.
I get it.
So I guess now I understand your haircut better.

He despises you.

Even when you were accused of rape, they didn't defend you.
They'll never be there for you.
They'll never love you like they loved Reda.
I know how you feel.
My parents are the same.
You want to run away.
But there's nowhere to go.
I guess you're also stuck.
Stop thinking about Victor.
You can do it without him.
Now it's just you, me and Reda's killer.
Find him and kill him.
[YELLS.]
[LUISA.]
Look.
There's always the same shape on all the drawings.
Here, here.
Do you want me to try and do something about your hair? Please? Hmm? Don't move.
I won't give Settle in Sure as a shadow Never quit Seconds bloom - [GASPS SOFTLY.]
- [CHUCKLES.]
Every move Right in time In time Woven slow Just enough Secret is braided In between Feel it shaking And set free [CAT MEOWS.]
[MODIBO.]
Reda.
Reda.
[REDA.]
Wait, I'm coming.
Stay here, Modibo.
- [GROANS.]
- [REDA.]
Stay there.
[MAN.]
Tell me.
I want to know.
Tell me! [IN DEMONIC VOICE.]
Only one god will agree to give you what you want.
But he'll ask you to break the great taboo.
He would demand a human sacrifice.
[MAN.]
A human? [MODIBO.]
You'll have to kill a mortal for him.
Spill the blood of a mortal for him.
Gut a mortal for him.
[MAN.]
I'm ready to kill.
Give me the name of this god.
[MODIBO.]
He's called Obé! Obé.
