L'Invisible

CAROL: If I'm not back in two
weeks, don't keep waiting.
Laurent's missing!
Someone took him.
We'll go through with the test,
but we'll still have
to deal with Daryl when he comes back.
ISABELLE: I promised Lily
to protect Laurent.
We'll go in and get him.
[SCREAMING]
The Mona Lisa is the most
valuable painting in history.
Insured at a billion pounds
in today's currency.
It was was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
Hey, dude!
WOMAN: Seriously?
- Sorry.
- Why would you do that?

Excuse me?
What do you see in her expression?
She looks sad.
Perhaps.
A woman gazed on by millions,
never actually seen.
But I see a secret in that smile.
Something withheld.
You're new.
Just arrived.
From where?
A little east of here.
I came to Paris as a tourist
13 years ago and got stuck.
It's the original, you know?
From the Louvre.
When it all started,
they protected the art,
not the people.
How are you so sure it's the real thing?
'Cause I'm the one who took
it off the fucking wall.

- MAN: That was good.
- Yeah.
ZABEL: The number one thing
I was excited about
was the Louvre flashback
story for Genet.
WOMAN: The Mona Lisa is
the most valuable painting in history,
insured at £1 billion
in today's currency.
ZABEL: When we created
the character of Genet
in the writers' room, we had this idea
that I always wanted to get to.
There just wasn't room in season one.
We had a lot of fish to fry.
But also it took about a year to plan
and be able to shoot at the Louvre.
CHARRIER: You always see
the Louvre full of people,
and we had the Louvre for ourselves.
That was completely mad.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
NICOTERO: The idea was
having the opportunity
to tell another perspective
of the breakout
of the zombie apocalypse through
the eyes of a character.
CHARRIER: She doesn't know
about zombie at that time.
They wake up in a nightmare.
They don't know what's going on.
So they kind of see that
people are going mad,
but they don't know
exactly what the danger is.
NICOTERO: And I think
what's most important
about this sequence is
it's the genesis of Genet's
transformation into
the character that she is now.
Genet is this simple woman
in love with her husband,
planning to have a family,
and that is taken away from her.
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING]
ZABEL: It's part of the reason
she holds the baby
in season one the way
she holds the baby.
A lot of people had
questions about that.
It's because she's thinking of the baby
she never had with her husband.
[SOBBING]
CHARRIER: The worst in her comes
from that pain that she had,
and I had to build it,
even not knowing exactly
where the traumatize was.
I had to build her around something
that was really painful for her.
ZABEL: The Mona Lisa is a figure who
she's hiding something.
You don't know exactly
what she's thinking,
but she's watching.
And obviously that became very symbolic
to Genet as a character.
She relates to it.
CHARRIER: It's one of the
greatest memory of work I have.
Having the Louvre for ourselves
and having that tête-à-tête
with the Mona Lisa,
who can experience that, you know?
That's a very special memory.
[SOBS]
♪
How are you so sure it's the real thing?
'Cause I'm the one who took it
off the [BEEP] wall.
Both Genet and Carol
are characters who have
been underestimated
and misunderstood in the past,
but are very powerful,
each in their own way.
So we thought that was very fascinating
to put those two characters together
because of some of
the similarities that they have,
but also the differences.
MCBRIDE: Carol absolutely
relates to Genet
in how this world has affected her.
The losses. The forgiveness.
The guilt. The forgiveness again.
NICOTERO: It's really
a great opportunity
to see these two women
sort of eye each other up
and figure out how they can get
what they need out of each other.
CHARRIER: Those scenes
in the Maison Mère
I remember really well.
We were very excited about it.
We were like [GIGGLING] you know?
Melissa is very generous.
very calm, and very funny.
And why do you want to find Dixon?

LOSANG: My friends
the time has come.
The ceremony is the center,
in my mind, of season two.
It's super important.
And yeah, it goes wrong.
It goes very wrong.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
What we're shooting today is a test
of whether Laurent will
survive the bite of a walker.
The ceremony scenes were wild
because the weather that day
was just like [BLOWING]
you know, and you're in
this giant courtyard
of this other castle.
And there was a lot of people
there that day.
SCIGLIUZZI: Wow, that was a
great day shooting the ceremony.
It was hard 'cause I had
to have my eyes like this.
And the walking was weird
'cause I had to walk
kind of like a walker.
The real twist is Sylvie's
part of the ceremony,
and I gasped [GASPS] when I read that.
[MAN SHOUTING IN FRENCH]
- Aaah!
- Sylvie!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
ZABEL: We always wanted
Sylvie to have a heroic story
where she gets killed
trying to save Laurent.
And at the same time,
we were figuring out this story
about the ceremony and the test.
And I said to the room,
"It would be a special walker".
So if Sylvie happens
to have died at the right time,
then she would be the right one
to use as the walker.
- [GROWLING]
- [PEOPLE GASPING]
RICHMAN: All the time
we sort of fretted about
telling an actress
that she's going to die.
But the real hardest part
was how, for us,
because her reaction was
she was really excited.
BLANC-FRANCARD: The fact that
Sylvie died trying to save Laurent,
I think it's the best way
for her to die, honestly.
And I was really excited
to play a zombie.
On "Walking Dead",
It's the best opportunity
to play a zombie.
♪
They did, like, amazing makeup,
made this prosthetic neck,
as you can see
goes there in silicone,
so to create like a fake broken neck.
And also synthetic cheekbones
and just sprays me,
like, for two hours.
And after that, you can see
on my hand they did the same.
And they start to draw on my face
with really, really thin pencil.
When I saw myself
the first time in the mirror,
honestly, I was really amazed.
I love the idea of being transformed
and just be completely
different from myself.
I loved it.
Merci beaucoup tout le monde.
SCIGLIUZZI: I guess I'm kind of
sad, not as in my character,
but me, 'cause I'm gonna
miss her if she's not on set.

a lot in the show.

ZABEL: The number one thing
I was excited about
was the Louvre flashback
story for Genet.
WOMAN: The Mona Lisa is
the most valuable painting in history,
insured at £1 billion
in today's currency.
ZABEL: When we created
the character of Genet
in the writers' room, we had this idea
that I always wanted to get to.
There just wasn't room in season one.
We had a lot of fish to fry.
But also it took about a year to plan
and be able to shoot at the Louvre.
CHARRIER: You always see
the Louvre full of people,
and we had the Louvre for ourselves.
That was completely mad.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
NICOTERO: The idea was
having the opportunity
to tell another perspective
of the breakout
of the zombie apocalypse through
the eyes of a character.
CHARRIER: She doesn't know
about zombie at that time.
They wake up in a nightmare.
They don't know what's going on.
So they kind of see that
people are going mad,
but they don't know
exactly what the danger is.
NICOTERO: And I think
what's most important
about this sequence is
it's the genesis of Genet's
transformation into
the character that she is now.
Genet is this simple woman
in love with her husband,
planning to have a family,
and that is taken away from her.
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING]
ZABEL: It's part of the reason
she holds the baby
in season one the way
she holds the baby.
A lot of people had
questions about that.
It's because she's thinking of the baby
she never had with her husband.
[SOBBING]
CHARRIER: The worst in her comes
from that pain that she had,
and I had to build it,
even not knowing exactly
where the traumatize was.
I had to build her around something
that was really painful for her.
ZABEL: The Mona Lisa is a figure who
she's hiding something.
You don't know exactly
what she's thinking,
but she's watching.
And obviously that became very symbolic
to Genet as a character.
She relates to it.
CHARRIER: It's one of the
greatest memory of work I have.
Having the Louvre for ourselves
and having that tête-à-tête
with the Mona Lisa,
who can experience that, you know?
That's a very special memory.

How are you so sure it's the real thing?
'Cause I'm the one who took it
off the [BEEP] wall.
Both Genet and Carol
are characters who have
been underestimated
and misunderstood in the past,
but are very powerful,
each in their own way.
So we thought that was very fascinating
to put those two characters together
because of some of
the similarities that they have,
but also the differences.
MCBRIDE: Carol absolutely
relates to Genet
in how this world has affected her.
The losses. The forgiveness.
The guilt. The forgiveness again.
NICOTERO: It's really
a great opportunity
to see these two women
sort of eye each other up
and figure out how they can get
what they need out of each other.

What we're shooting today is a test

great day shooting the ceremony.

to have my eyes like this.
And the walking was weird
'cause I had to walk
kind of like a walker.
The real twist is Sylvie's
part of the ceremony,
and I gasped [GASPS] when I read that.
[MAN SHOUTING IN FRENCH]
- Aaah!
- Sylvie!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
ZABEL: We always wanted
Sylvie to have a heroic story
where she gets killed
trying to save Laurent.
And at the same time,
we were figuring out this story
about the ceremony and the test.
And I said to the room,
"It would be a special walker".
So if Sylvie happens
to have died at the right time,
then she would be the right one
to use as the walker.
- [GROWLING]
- [PEOPLE GASPING]
RICHMAN: All the time
we sort of fretted about
telling an actress
that she's going to die.
But the real hardest part
was how, for us,
because her reaction was
she was really excited.
BLANC-FRANCARD: The fact that
Sylvie died trying to save Laurent,
I think it's the best way
for her to die, honestly.
And I was really excited
to play a zombie.
On "Walking Dead",
It's the best opportunity
