Notre-Dame (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

[moving orchestral music playing]
[children playing outside]
[man] I've known since I was a boy
that I was different.
I didn't have a word
for what made me different,
or any shame, for that matter.
I was falling in love,
and it seemed natural, pure, normal.
It was real. It was me.
I came to be with you here today
because coming out
isn't something you do only once.
You have to do it over and over,
with every new person you meet.
Coming out is the story of your life.
It's the story of a lifetime.
BEING CHRISTIAN
AND LIVING AS A HOMOSEXUAL
LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS
[woman 1] Thanks. Have a good day.
[moving orchestral music continues]
[woman 2] Hello.
Hello.
Can I help?
I I didn't know that you existed.
The meeting already started,
but if you'd like to join us
No, no, no.
No, thank you.
Otherwise, we're here every Tuesday.
If you'd like to come.

You're leaving?
[Varèse] Yes.
You never stay.
It's just at night I need company.
Only at night. [chuckles]
I could always make you breakfast.
I hadn't noticed this.
It's pretty.
When I was small,
a white rabbit told me I would
well, that I would die in the night.
That's why. I don't wanna die alone.

[Zacharie] Come with me, quick!
- [sirens wailing]
- [firefighters shouting indistinctly]
[Zacharie] Move away! Move away!
Come on, come on!
Come on, guys!
- [loud thuds]
- [Zacharie grunting]
[grunts]
- Anything to use on the ironwork.
- [firefighter 1] Copy that.
[grunts]
[intense music plays]
Fuck me.
Elena?
Elena, please answer me.
- We have contact with one person inside.
- Elena, will you answer me?
flames are reaching over 30 meters high.
And though you can't quite
see that behind me yet,
the fire service are currently
doing everything they possibly can
to gain access
to the cathedral's entrance
[fire roaring]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Varèse coughing weakly]
[grunts]
[Varèse] You okay?
Yeah.
[firefighter 2] The exits are blocked!
Let's get this clear.
Focus on the main door
and clear the main entrance.
Come on, now!
[electric chainsaw motor revving, roaring]
[Varèse] Taupin?
Colonel Varèse to Staff Sergeant Taupin.
Colonel Varèse to General Ducourt,
do you receive?
Varèse, Varèse, do you receive me?
[electric chainsaw buzzing loudly]
Adamski! Adamski, this is Colonel Varèse!
- Come on. Adamski? Adamski?
- [plaintive piano music playing]
Colonel Varèse to Adamski.
Can you hear me? Do you read me?
Alice, come on.
Oh my God.
My radio isn't working.
No, they're all busted.
[suspenseful music continues]
It's coming down!
Hurry!
[scaffolding crashing]
[yells in frustration]
Varèse, answer me.
[firefighter 1] More we clear,
greater risk of collapse.
[Varèse] No choice.
We have to do everything
to get out of here, together.
Touzeau! Klein!
With me. We're gonna take the stairs.
[Touzeau] Copy that.
- Bocquet, you take charge of operations!
- [Bocquet] Copy that, Colonel.
- What's your name again?
- Bolin, Colonel.
- Bolin, you find the journalist.
- Understood.
Come on!
Let's go find Taupin and his crew.
[Varèse] Come on, guys.
We need to clear this.
[Elena panting]
[whimpers softly]
[moans]
[coughing]
[continues coughing]
[coughing]
Antony, can you hear me?
[panicked breath]
[electric chainsaw buzzing]
[Zacharie] Varèse, can you hear me?
[Antony] Elena? Elena, can you hear me?
Elena, are you there?
[Zacharie] What's going on?
General, I'm not sure
It might be the case that
with all the heat and the roof collapsing,
the radios have got messed up.
How many are there inside?
Fifteen, maybe 20.
Maybe more if there's still some
in the south passage.
And your friend?
The journalist, what's her name again?
- Elena.
- [Zacharie] That's it.
Her mobile phone was on, right?
No, General. I've tried,
but the whole network is saturated
because of the tourists
streaming the fire,
talking on their phones,
the thousands of people video calling.
[fire roaring]
Steph?
Steph, are you there?
- Fuck.
- [uneasy music playing]
Come on, where's the feed?
Everything's working this end.
It's on her end that
- [Steph] Elena?
- that it's down.
Elena?
Give me a sign, pick up.
Say something, please, Elena.
[uneasy music continues]
[Steph exhales emotionally]
[panicked breaths]
[on voicemail] Hi, this is Elena.
Leave me a message,
and I'll call you back as soon as I can.
Oh, Steph, where you going?
Steph?
[firefighters shouting indistinctly]
- Huh?
- It won't give, General.
It has to give!
We've got half the Brigade here,
and we can't even open a fucking door?
How's that possible?
Gabrielle? Answer me, Gabrielle.
Do you copy?
I'm sorry. It's not your fault.
- [electric chainsaw buzzing]
- [firefighters shouting indistinctly]
[Elena coughing]
[inhaler puffing]
[exhales]
[coughs]
You okay?
[sad orchestral music plays]
Victoire?
Just stop with all the questions,
will you?
You can see I'm not okay.
- Don't talk to me like that!
- Just shut up.
[Billy grunts]
Don't be mean to me!
Dummy Devilheart!
Are you some kind of head case?
I ask how you're doing,
and that's how you talk to me?
You're an idiot!
I just want you
to leave me alone for a minute.
Billy, give me some time.
Can you please just go?
Look around at who you have. It's just me.
I care about you, and I'm the only one.
Talk to me a bit better, or I'll scram!
Okay, all right! Just go!
Fuckin' anywhere.
Scram!
[sad orchestral music continues]
[retching]
[sobs] Little twat.
[sad orchestral music continues]
Billy?
Billy!
Billy?
[sad orchestral music continues]
Please, I'm sorry.
I just wasn't feeling too good.
I'm better now.
- Come on, Billy. Wait a second.
- Go away.
[Victoire] I'm sorry.
I thought you had a plane to catch.
Well, yeah, I do.
[Billy] And I guess the plane's
going to wait for you?
It definitely wouldn't leave
without the famous gutter-puking Victoire.
[both laughing]
You're a dumbass, you know that?
- [Billy laughs]
- Little shit. You got that?
[sad orchestral music fades out]
[mobile phone vibrating]
- Yes?
- It's Rico.
Have you lost your mind or what?
You almost killed my brother.
That nail driver,
he had it pinned to my neck.
Sorry, but lately,
I don't respond well to threats.
Yeah? Well, I don't respond well
to you messing up his knee.
You really fucked up, Max.
You owe me more than money.
Now you've got a blood debt.
So, you calling me for a reason
or just to play the hard guy?
You can never just keep your mouth shut,
can you, Max?
I was only calling to say
don't forget about me,
'cause I won't forget about you.
Won't forget about you either, prick.
Pain in the ass.

Gas, own a classy hash den ♪
[Billy] Is it still far?
No, we're nearly there.
You said that half an hour ago. Come on!
We're really almost there.
Evening.

Hands on the counter, hurry up!
Hurry up, I said! All clear.
[officer 2] Stay there.
[suspenseful music playing]
[officer 1] Come on.
[officer 1] Gimme your hand.
- [handcuffs lock]
- Okay.
[suspenseful music ends abruptly]
Okay, it's just there.
But, Billy, you can't come in with me.
I want you to stay out here and wait.
- But why?
- Okay?
- That's just how it is.
- Are you doing shady stuff?
- What do you mean "shady"?
- Sex?
- What?
- Sex?
- Sex?
- Yeah.
- You're three, and talking about sex?
- Me? Three years old?
- Yeah.
- So how old are you, then? Two and a half?
Me, two? You must be joking.
I bet you still wet the bed.
- [Billy laughs]
- What are you talking about?
I see you know nothing about boys my age.
Oh yeah? So what are boys your age like?
I'm trying to be polite here,
but if you want,
I can make your ears bleed.
- You could make my ears bleed?
- I can.
Go on, then.
Uh, well, you see,
I'm not really in the mood right now.
Oh, you're not really in the mood,
are you?
[both laughing]
Call me when you've got
some good comebacks, okay?
Just a quick call.
You're so short,
your pussy stinks of feet.
[gasps]
You didn't just say that to me.
- You're not from around here?
- [Max] No, I don't live around here.
So what are you doing here, then?
Well, I was at the cinema
over at the square.
I came by for some groceries, that's it.
Come on, nearly there. Just wait here.
[ominous music playing]
[Victoire gasps]
- Come on, Billy.
- [Billy] Okay.
[officer 1] Here.
- Thanks. Is that all?
- [officer 1] Yes.
Thank you.
[ominous music continues]
[Billy] Just so I know,
where are we going?
If anyone asks,
you say you don't know. Okay?
[Max] Look at her, look at her!
Does she Look at her, asshole! Look!
Does she come in to buy your shit,
or do you deliver?
- Deliver sometimes.
- Sometimes?
- Yeah.
- What's the address?
Hey, the address.
Wake up. Stay with me. What is it?
- Where does she live?
- 72 Stalingrad Avenue.
[ominous music continues]
[sirens wailing]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[ominous music fades out]
I think we have contact.
You think or you know?
Colonel Varèse, can you hear me?
Elena, can you hear me? Elena?
- [Elena] Varèse, come on!
- [Antony] Elena?
Gimme your headset.
[Varèse] General, do you hear me?
[Zacharie] Varèse, can you hear me?
Varèse, can you hear me?
- [Varèse] Yes, receiving!
- The radios are back on.
Everyone all right?
Just two men hurt.
But the fire's closing in.
We're clearing a path
to go and find Taupin and his crew.
Has there been any sign of Elena?
The journalist?
I sent some men to look for her.
- All set, guys? Okay. Let's go!
- [firefighters] Yeah!
- Ready? Let's do it!
- Come on!
[firefighters speaking
and shouting indistinctly]
[Varèse] The path has been cleared.
We have to try to reach them
via the south stairwell.
- Can you see the ledge?
- No, we can't see the ledge from here.
How long can you hold on?
Without any working hoses, not long.
[suspenseful music playing]
[laboured breathing]
[gentle piano music playing]
[weakly] I'm here.
I'm here.
- [firefighter 1] Can you walk?
- [Elena] Yes, I think so.
[electric chainsaw grinding]
Sorry, what was that?
I can't hear you.
[Antony] She was with you inside the nave.
Can you see her?
Yeah, I see her.
- [Antony exhales in relief]
- [emotional music playing]
Pass her to talk to me.
[Elena grunts weakly]
- Doin' okay?
- Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
You sure?
I'm okay.
We'll come and get you.
[firefighter 3] Lift together!
[Varèse] It's gonna go!
[firefighters speaking indistinctly]
[Varèse] Quicker, quicker, quicker!
Quicker!
It's Antony. He wants to speak.
Thanks.
Antony?
[Antony] Hold tight.
We're gonna get you outta there.
Are you hurt?
[sighs, winces]
Yeah, but it's nothing. It's fine.
Fuck.
[gentle piano music continues]
- [Elena] Antony?
- Yes?
Why didn't you call
when you came to Paris?
I dunno.
Didn't dare. I dunno.
I thought you had a life, a man.
Perhaps a kid, even.
I saw you once on BFM.
I told myself,
"She's too beautiful for me."
- Stupid, right?
- [Elena chuckles]
Elena, you okay?
Yeah.
I'm okay.
[intense piano music playing]

[Steph] Oh fuck!
Shit!
[horns honking]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music ends]
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Do you want to sit down for a bit?
Or we could get you a kebab?
I know that's not the problem here,
but, still, it might help.
[horn honks]
- Are you sure you're okay?
- Wait.
[unsettling music playing]
[no dialogue]
Hold on two seconds.
[grunts]
Oh fuck.
All done. I'm just gonna lie here.
[dramatic music plays]
Victoire?
Victoire?
[Billy] Victoire? Victoire?
Victoire! Victoire!

- Victoire?
[dramatic music continues]
[Victoire moaning]
[Billy] Hello.
Hi, there.
Uh, I'm here to get some medicine
for a friend in need.
In need of what?
Um, drugs.
[Max] Victoire?

Victoire?

[electric chainsaw buzzing]
[firefighters breathing
through apparatuses]
[firefighter 2] The path is blocked.
[Varèse] It's the only way through.
No!
[grunts]
[Varèse] Okay, I'm going in!
- [firefighter 2] You can't get through.
- [Varèse] We have to try.
[firefighter 2] Colonel, it's too risky!
[Varèse] The axe!
[axe pounding]
[grunting]
Taupin?
Taupin?
- Taupin!
- [Taupin mumbles weakly]
Urgent! Colonel Varèse to command post!
I read you, Varèse.
I have several wounded firefighters here.
Interim assessment,
two unconscious firefighters,
two critical.
Emergency crews ready.
Adamski?
[Varèse] What? Where is she?
On the scaffolding.
She must've fallen
to the other side of the transept.
[Varèse panting]
Varèse to command.
[Antony] Colonel?
Are you in communication with Adamski?
Adamski? No, why?
She took cover somewhere
on the other side of the transept.
[panting]
[firefighter 2] Colonel, if she's trapped,
it'll be in the turret staircase.
[Varèse]
Colonel Varèse to General Ducourt.
We have a firefighter missing.
Who?
Adamski.
What do you suggest?
I'm going, alone.
No way, Varèse.
[Varèse] I have no choice.
All my men are evacuating the wounded.
What's happening on the outside?
[Zacharie] We're nearly there.
Gabrielle?
Yes?
- Find her and get out quick.
- Copy that.

[Ben] I didn't feel good
during the concert.
[Alice] Why?
[Ben] Well
you, me, and my father
same place, same time.
I didn't like it.
No one can blame you, though.
You know that, Ben.
- Hm?
- Mm.
You and your wife fell out of love,
and you know you can't help that.
- [Ben moans, kisses]
- [Alice chuckles softly]
We're pretty good together, aren't we?
That's all that counts.
Ben?

Please.
I must see you.

I don't want to die here.
Please.
I don't

[plaintive music playing]
[sighs]
Yes, I know it's late, but
[sighs] please, could you just
put the phone under her pillow, please?
I beg you.
[sighs] I'll wait.
Thanks.

She's asleep.
Yeah, hold on.
I'll put the phone against her mouth.
It's me, my love. It's Max.
