PATIENT: JEANNE COSTE [BREATHES DEEPLY.]
Crap.
ABANDON [JOURNALIST.]
Madam Mayor, a comment on Rubi Diabo's death? My thoughts are with her parents.
Nothing is worse than losing a child.
Did you underestimate the security threat? No, I underestimated how toxic Robert Taro could be.
He politicized Marseille's soccer club, stirring up conflict between fans.
He can't admit he no longer runs the city, and prefers to let chaos take over You should watch.
Jeanne's pinning it all on you.
his recklessness Blaming others is her favorite strategy.
But she's using you to ruin the Club's image.
- Don't you care? - Rubi is dead.
Nothing else matters to me.
How's the case going? I spoke to the DA, she has nothing for now.
No clues, no witnesses.
Let's organize a tribute.
The mayor has forbidden all public gatherings.
I know.
To avoid making things worse.
Sure She was beautiful, wasn't she? Same age as Julia.
I know it's not the right time, but you promised I could see Julia.
Soon.
You're right.
Let's organize a tribute to Rubi.
As long as the town doesn't go up in flames.
I still don't know why you did it.
Even if at times, I'd like to blow it all up too.
It's all their fault.
They treated me like dirt and wouldn't let me see her.
After all I did for her? But they'll pay for it.
TO RUBI FROM MASSILIA FORCE AND THE SPORTING CLUB I LOVE RUBI UNITED TO WIN [NOISY CROWD.]
[SUPPORTER.]
Let us through! We have a right to pay our respects! You fucking Nazis! Fire it up! Let us through.
Hey, please! Please! - [CROWD.]
Let us pay tribute.
- [TARO.]
Calm down, now! [TARO.]
Show some respect! As usual, the far-right city government would exploit our friend's death [CROWD BOOING.]
to stir up anger and fear, and to divide us.
We won't let them succeed.
But that's not what matters.
Someone attacked Rubi.
I promise I will find out who.
Whoever is guilty will pay! [CHEERING.]
You said it! And now, all together for Rubi! - Rubi! - [RHYTHMIC CLAPPING.]
- Rubi! - [RHYTHMIC CLAPPING.]
- Rubi! Rubi! - [RHYTHMIC CLAPPING.]
- Rubi! Rubi! - [RHYTHMIC CLAPPING.]
Barrès: Your silence is unbearable.
[SECRETARY.]
Mr.
Marciano is here.
- Come in.
- [MARCIANO.]
You wanted to see me? I was blown away by your interview this morning.
Pulling those emotional strings with the parents Nice move! Anyway, this incident is stirring things up.
Taro can't justify his own fans fighting each other.
Is that the police version or yours? It's everybody's version.
Morons slugging it out.
It's not uncommon after a game.
I think they walked into a trap.
You think so? Could be.
But it sounds like pure Taro to me.
Stop your bullshit, please.
Fighting fans don't benefit Taro.
Neither do dead ones.
Anyway, once the stadium is sold, Taro will just be The inquiry will tell.
And if, as I suspect, you were involved, I'll crucify you, Marciano.
Me? You think I'm capable of this? Maybe you don't dirty your own hands, but you're capable of anything.
I had nothing to do with this! [PHONE BEEPS.]
If you'll excuse me, I have work.
Barrès: Can we meet? [BARRÈS.]
Ah.
- [JEANNE.]
Are you in a hurry? - [BARRÈS.]
Not at all.
[BARRÈS.]
Come on.
[JEANNE.]
They say body language is a key factor in communication.
- [BARRÈS.]
Really? - But I can't read you.
[BARRÈS.]
I don't know how I feel.
[JEANNE.]
It was a shock for me too.
You could have called or stopped by, instead of sending a DVD.
Is that the problem? My method of communication? Sorry, but it's all so unexpected.
Yeah, you could say that! What will you do? You know me.
You know what I believe.
It would be so hard not to keep it, but - Even though - Even though what? It's not so simple.
What do you think? What? No.
Don't tell me you think we could work it out.
You, me and a baby? No way.
I don't know You'll decide to keep it, anyway.
It's a decision that we should make together, Lucas.
- Really? - [PHONE VIBRATES.]
- I have to go.
- Thanks for telling me.
I always tell the truth.
Yeah.
I'd like to keep this between us.
Of course.
[CAR DOOR OPENS.]
- [TARO.]
So? - It was tricky.
Oh? The DA is afraid of leaks and I had to pull some strings.
But I have the footage from the scene of the incident.
[TARO.]
Let's have a look.
- But - He can't be identified on this camera.
Maybe he was careless later.
Fast-forward it a bit.
See, we lose him.
This is all you have? According to the police, the other CCTV cameras were broken.
Those cameras are new.
That was their first expenditure: state-of-the-art cameras throughout the city.
Would they lie to the DA? Sure, why not? If there is more footage it could be on their security hard drive.
Find it, Costa.
Promise money and jobs.
Threaten them.
I want that footage! CLINIC [DOCTOR.]
Your sonogram is perfect.
The blood test too.
Any morning sickness? Is there a problem? Are you still hesitating? We don't have much time, you know.
The legal limit is 14 weeks.
You're already Stop repeating what you've already told me.
I know it by heart! PATIENT: JEANNE COSTE [DOORBELL RINGS.]
[TARO.]
Rubi's death wasn't an accident.
What if City Hall is behind this? [BARRÈS.]
I find that hard to believe.
It was just a fight that got out of hand.
[TARO.]
Who was fighting who? The Nice fans were already on their bus home.
Nothing happened during the game.
You said the CCTV cameras didn't work that night? Yeah.
What a coincidence, right? No, I think Rubi and her gang were ambushed.
We can't accept this, Lucas.
What do you want from me, Robert? I want you to be ready.
You're the only one I really trust.
If they're guilty, we'll confront them and kick all those fascists out.
Madam! Madam! Madam! - [ADRIEN.]
The daycare center is delayed.
- Why? Problems with the architect.
I've taken over.
- [BARRÈS.]
Keep me updated.
- OK.
[KNOCK AT DOOR.]
- Hello.
- Hi, Rachel.
Can you give us a minute? [RACHEL.]
Didn't you get my messages? I did, but Please, sit down.
[BARRÈS.]
Things have been crazy around here.
You're Tod, right? Is he no longer in a foster home? I can visit him twice a week.
I'm here because I need your help.
He can't stay there.
I'm not sure I can help.
The mayor has no power over children's services.
Especially not a district mayor.
His father's in a detention center.
Tod's on a list for a temporary family.
- It's no way to live.
- Of course not.
I understand.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Excuse me.
It's his father.
- Can I leave him here? - Sure.
[RACHEL.]
Hello? You OK, big guy? - You want something to drink? - [TOD.]
No thanks.
Is it true you grew up in foster homes when you were my age? - Who told you that? - The Internet.
It's true, but there's more to it.
Don't worry.
You won't be there for long.
I don't want to be in a family either.
I want to be with my dad.
Of course you do.
I promise I'll do my best to help you out.
[HIGH FIVE.]
[BARRÈS.]
Good evening.
Can I come in? - Yeah.
- Thanks.
- I don't understand, Lucas.
- What? That I question the values you'll teach this child? I understand, but we grew up without parents and we did OK.
That's not what I mean.
I'm talking about my morals and values.
I'm ready to change.
Are you? You're a good man, Lucas.
I can count on you.
I need proof.
Show me you can change.
I really want us to try.
I don't want to do this alone.
I don't want to repeat history.
A child needs a family.
You know it.
[BARRÈS SIGHS.]
You were right.
The cops lied to the DA.
There was more footage.
Watch this.
It's well worth it.
There.
He's spotted the camera.
Now he knows which footage to destroy.
Back up to him.
Rewind it, please.
Further back That's it! Stop there.
Zoom in a bit.
Oh, shit! Who is that? One of the PF's henchmen.
He was close to Guénelon.
And now he's close to Marciano.
Marciano sent him to attack the fans? Either him or the mayor.
- What do we do now? - [TARO.]
Send it to the DA.
Do it anonymously.
And make a copy.
Just in case it gets "lost".
I swear I'll make those bastards pay.
Every last one of them.
[BARRÈS.]
Son of a bitch! [TARO.]
He was arrested this morning.
He confessed, but claims it was an accident.
He just wanted to make trouble.
[BARRÈS.]
Sure.
And he just happened to run into Rubi? That's what he says.
And he swears he acted alone.
He's too dumb to act alone.
It's Marciano who's guilty.
That's what I think too.
I hope the DA pushes Nervo to name names.
Everyone in City Hall will be thrown out.
I don't think Jeanne Coste is involved in this.
[TARO.]
How would you know? I know that she and Marciano hate each other.
No, he's the one behind this.
Maybe you're right.
But we don't give a damn.
We'll use this to destroy them all.
- Don't you agree? - Of course I do.
This will be on the news in an hour.
Jeanne Coste won't know what hit her.
She won't recover.
[CHUCKLES.]
Jeanne, a shitstorm is about to hit you.
[JEANNE.]
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
I'm sure Marciano is involved.
I'm sure he is too.
Wait, didn't he ever mention his plans to you? What? You think I knew? They'll try to pin it on you.
Lucas thanks for the heads-up.
I won't comment on an ongoing case.
But if anyone on my team is implicated, they will be severely sanctioned.
You mean party exclusion? At the very least, I'd say.
I've always been clear.
I expect exemplary conduct from public officials.
[TARO.]
Lucas, are you watching TV? [BARRÈS.]
Yeah.
[TARO.]
She's handling it well, as if she'd been tipped off.
The police or the DA's office must have leaked it.
Meanwhile, she's succeeding in playing innocent.
Maybe She plays a good victim.
[TARO.]
Let's tighten the screws and find her weak spot.
I'm sure she's covered herself.
You did a background check before appointing her, didn't you? Yeah.
She's clean.
Everyone is dirty.
[TARO.]
I'll put Costa on it.
Do you think you can unearth anything? [BARRÈS SIGHS.]
Lucas? She's pregnant.
No way! Her? Out of wedlock? [TARO.]
You know who she slept with? Yeah.
Me.
Shit.
[TARO.]
Since when? Why? Does it make a difference? No.
So, what do we do now? That's just it.
I have no idea.
[MARCIANO.]
What's this crap about your entourage being involved? - You're lucky that's all I said.
- Meaning? You're behind this.
Your thug will talk.
And I'll crush you like a bug.
Who do you think you are? Scheming, dirty tricks and fake scandals We've all been there.
But someone died.
This will haunt the Party for years.
I'm not involved.
Do I have to say it again? How long until your guy throws you to the dogs? - I won't go down alone.
- Yes, you will.
Alone and in jail.
It's me.
I need to see you.
No, sooner than that.
OK, tomorrow at your hotel.
[BARRÈS.]
You know, I told Taro about the baby.
He'll use it against me.
I'm not sure.
- [JEANNE.]
You want to make it official? - No.
I'll be showing soon.
Two months, max.
We'll have to pick a name.
A last name, too.
I know, nothing's simple.
So let's plan it out.
We're public figures.
This impacts both of our careers.
We should make a statement.
I absolutely forbid it.
Leave politics out of this.
You know me, Lucas.
I wouldn't do it without you.
INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL [VANESSA.]
I know Guénelon well.
He can offer you an honorable way out.
I refuse to resign from the Party.
Get some perspective.
Look at the big picture.
You don't have a choice.
[MARCIANO.]
Can't you help me? We pin it on the mayor.
She gets fired and I replace her.
We'll have free rein to do our thing.
It's not that simple.
Shit, Vanessa.
Do you realize how exposed I am? You made your bed.
Considering what I know, don't expect me to let you sit back and watch me drown.
Is that a threat? [MARCIANO.]
No, I just need help.
Even if Nervo keeps quiet, he's connected to me.
It's only a matter of days before the DA calls me in.
I'll try.
Don't panic.
Panicking will get you nowhere.
I'll call you later.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
CAFE GIFTS, SOUVENIRS, T-SHIRTS, CAPS, SOAPS FROM MARSEILLE I wish you were here.
No one would treat me like this, if you were.
Together, we'd have made them pay, bro! - [PIANO PLAYING.]
- [BARRÈS.]
C, D D.
And C.
- How? Like this? - Yeah.
[PIANO PLAYING.]
No.
- No.
- You're not very good.
[BARRÈS.]
You're right.
I'm not.
Forget about it.
Although I knew one piece when I was a kid.
I'll try to play it for you.
Do you remember this? [PLAYS PIANO.]
[PLAYS THE MELODY INCORRECTLY.]
- You're terrible! - Yeah, you're right.
What can I say? How's it going here? - Your piano lessons? - OK.
I don't have many students, but it's good.
Will you help with my dad? Of course I will.
I'll do my best.
Your dad needs political refugee status in order to join you.
But he doesn't care about politics.
No.
No.
I was also separated from my dad, as a boy.
Did you find him? Mmm You could say that.
That's good.
You understand me.
Yes, I do.
How about six hands? - Does "six hands" exist? - No.
[BARRÈS.]
It doesn't.
Let's try anyway.
Shall we play that piece? Here we go.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
You set the tempo.
Go ahead.
- That piece you played? - Yeah - It's the only thing I know.
- OK.
One, two, three! [ALL THREE PLAY PIANO.]
No, it's - Hi there! - [LAUGHS.]
I thought you'd never come.
First, I had to slay the dragon.
[TARO.]
Hey guys, coffee break! [JULIA.]
Did my dad tell you I remember things? [DRISS.]
Yes.
But nothing specific, right? [JULIA.]
No.
But I feel like it's coming.
Another reason not to stay here.
You want to send me away, like Mom? No.
I want you to stay with me.
You'll be safer there.
And I'm sick of not seeing you.
[JULIA.]
When are you leaving? [DRISS.]
We've plenty of time Start in five minutes.
Patrick for Fred? - Shift change in five minutes.
- [MAN.]
Copy.
Julia? [SHOUTS.]
Julia! Ju Those bastards tried to keep me away.
But I showed them! - Don't yell, OK? - OK.
This won't end well, Eric.
It'll end badly.
They'll find us.
Why didn't you answer my messages? - The phone leaves a trace.
- I looked all over for you! Your whole family treated me like a dog.
They were protecting me.
From others, fine.
But from me? - Everyone would be dead without me.
- What do you mean? The attack on the stadium.
I stopped the city from blowing up! He was my friend, but he didn't listen! I'm listening to you! Who was your buddy? What are you talking about? Chahid.
They brainwashed him.
I couldn't let him kill all those people.
But I didn't want him to die! [SNIFFLING.]
If you had seen his face before he blew himself up He looked like he was smiling! [ERIC SNIFFLES.]
They came back to see me.
Sélim and Chahid I don't think they're mad at me.
[JULIA.]
Don't hurt him! I didn't want to hurt her.
I would never hurt her! I just wanted you to know I'd become a good guy.
I've always known! I'm scared, Julia.
I'm scared I'm losing my mind.
Don't worry, I'll never abandon you! [BARRÈS.]
And the dad? What is the procedure? And? Is there a deadline? OK, I'm counting on you.
We'll speak soon.
Thank you.
You decided to acknowledge paternity? It's about that kid Rachel Taro asked me to help.
Right, the African boy whose father is in a detention center.
The African boy has a name: Tod.
Did I say something wrong? You don't seem moved by his situation.
I see loads of immigrant files, thanks to Taro's laxity.
I'm not talking about a file.
Tod's a ten-year-old separated from his dad.
You can't get personally involved in each case.
What's your point? You're aware of my convictions and my stand on abortion.
- I never hid them.
- OK You promised you'd change.
I'm waiting.
You're keeping this baby to honor your convictions.
What do you think I am? A heartless bitch? Is that it? I never said that, Jeanne.
Yeah, but it's what you think.
Feel free to leave.
[JEANNE.]
I've fought so hard for my ideas and my stand against abortion.
Now I find myself in this situation.
Jeanne Having a child isn't determined by political or ideological views.
You know how important it is for me.
Look elsewhere to find the strength to dispel the doubts that are consuming you.
Elsewhere? In love.
Do you love him? I wish I could forget him.
You've always been alone, focused on your public life.
It's time to focus on your personal life and start a family.
That's always been my dream.
Why not fight for it, then? I can't fight against him.
And I don't want to sacrifice my career.
Am I ready to throw it all away? Even my political future? [JEANNE.]
There's so much more to do to defend my values and my party.
JEANNE COSTE PROFILE CONNECTION CALL/SMS/MMS [BARRÈS.]
Can you see me as a father? [TARO.]
Very easily.
What does that even mean? I grew up without any role models.
What can I possibly give this child? I keep telling you, Lucas.
This child will benefit from your lack of love growing up.
You'll give him everything you never had.
Really.
A child turns your life upside down.
It changes everything! It lifts you up.
Speaking of love, tell me about Jeanne.
Ask yourself this: would you be with her if she weren't pregnant? Do you have things in common? Do you make a good couple? Is the sex good? Are you happy together? All these things they matter.
But a child is a rocket! You can leave your things in here.
Don't forget to put all metallic objects and jewelry in the tray.
I'll be back soon.
[BARRÈS.]
Jeanne, it's Lucas.
I've been thinking.
I want to recognize this child.
I want to be involved.
I'll be there whenever you need me.
You can trust me.
[BARRÈS.]
Call me.
