Original subtitles

Okay. We're sure. We can go fast.

-We're checking what's true? -Yes.

Okay, that one.

We agreed. Don't change anything.

-Al Pacino, no... -This one?

-Should we switch those? -No.

-No, I disagree. -Well, you will lose then.

-Bro! -If you don't believe me, that's fine.

-Trust me. -Then let me--

No!

No, no, no!

Stop, guys. We should do it right.

If we start at the end, they won't get it.

Let's rewind and explain everything.

This is the Liars Club library.

Fancy, right?

Wait. What does "liars" mean?

It's people who lie.

And you have to be a big fat liar to be a part of this elite club.

I'm a liar by nature. I've been a liar since the womb.

The concept is quite simple.

You come in with a partner,

and each pair tells three stories that happened to them.

After this story, you'll be like...

Speechless.

Somewhere in South Africa is a rhinoceros named Kadéo.

You killed us.

We were also applauded by Al Pacino.

Except only one of their stories is true.

Yep. And the others have to guess which one.

To do so, they can ask questions,

or even investigate.

AUGMENTED REALITY x8,000

What color was the rhino?

-White. -Gray.

No, wait!

And they did not hesitate to do so.

Why didn't Teddy Riner the jack?

When did you win your César, Oulaya?

So, to win the trophy and 50,000 euros for their charity,

they had to guess which story was true for each pair.

-We're telling the truth. -Believe it or not.

So, the question everyone's asking is...

-What position were they in? -That's a pervert's question.

Not this one. The real question is, "Who are we?"

We are one of the pairs, and we lied for the whole show.

None of our stories were true.

Who would believe that?

But more about that later.

For now, no one knows about it.

This game is great!

These aren't our real voices.

You'll learn our identities only at the end,

or it would be too easy.

Now it's serious. I like it.

It's like a storm inside your skull.

Introductions are out of the way,

so let's focus on finding each pair's true story.

Everyone's ready. Cue the opening credits.

-What does "liars" mean again? -Come on!

THE TRUTH IS THERE IS NO TRUTH!

Okay, let's start from the beginning.

The first to step in the Liars Club library

were Kad and Olivier.

Oh, wow. Look at that... It's huge.

Olivier is like my blood. Can I say "my B"?

He's my B.

I feel like reading but it will be difficult.

You can't.

We are ready to tell the truth.

Then, Ahmed and Hakim came in.

No way!

The old liars!

Honestly, Kad and O are not that great.

I like them. They're nice.

La Tour Montparnasse Infernale, Pamela Rose…

I don't know if this show will be very good.

Then came Melha and Oulaya.

Did you say "wow" for the set or for us?

For the handsome black dude.

Using compliments to betray everyone,

these two stellar actresses could easily manipulate us.

Especially her, be careful. She's won a César.

We've been close for ten years.

We practically share the same mom, the same family.

I think we complement each other, too.

She's top of the class, taking notes, doing everything right...

and I'm more of a loose cannon.

Yes!

-Hello! -Two handsome guys!

Who's that? I don't know them.

Look who it is! It's Freddy and Anis.

They make up crazy stories on YouTube,

so this is easy for them. Just another day at the office.

We're Freddy and Anis. We're internet guys.

So if you have a problem with your fiber setup...

-You should call us. -I couldn't keep it up.

Look at the speed. We...

What do you get? 5G? We get 5.2G.

We'll take care of it and give you a speed boost.

Wait. Six, seven, eight... Isn't one pair missing?

Yes, one pair is missing!

Oh, it's cooked!

-Laurel and Hardy! -It's their game.

This is their game. They decide. If they want, we cancel everything.

Should we do a little jig?

We've been friends since high school.

Also, we're used to this game.

We have a similar game on our YouTube channel,

with real and fake stories. We love telling stories.

Sorry, I'm doing a DJ set in Dubai tonight, so...

Who are we waiting for to start? I already have a story ready.

There was no one else left.

Everyone was there, the game could finally begin.

Kicking things off were Ahmed and Hakim,

with three stories on the menu, with promising titles,

a Brazilian party,

a story about a flat tire,

and one about traveler's diarrhea. No comment.

The goal is to stay focused and turn on our lie detectors,

because only one story is true.

I suggest we move to the staircase.

-No, let's stay here. -Here?

-We stay here? -This will be quick.

It's a true story too.

What's cool about our friendship

is that we can quickly step into the other's story.

If I start going against the tide...

he'll switch to different fins and swim with me.

-No problem. -I just imagined you as a fish.

I am a fish.

We went to see a match together at the Parc des Princes.

It was Tunisia versus Brazil.

-I remember. -So, it's simple.

We were with Hatem Ben Arfa.

Nowadays, he plays padel, but back then, he played for PSG.

-He's good at padel. -Great player. For sure.

I've known him for years.

Since he had played for PSG, he was with us in the VIP stands.

He said, "Guys, let's congratulate the players."

So we're shaking hands with Neymar and Marquinhos, I'm so happy.

Marquinhos recognizes Ahmed right away.

So we're with Ben Harfa,

and he says, "What are you doing later?"

"Well, nothing." "We're going to a club."

Clubbing with Neymar and Marquinhos?

-Everyone would go. -Right?

Everyone.

I'll let you continue, since you did something crazy.

You kinda pushed me into it.

Anyway, we end at the club with the players.

We're in a club,

with Neymar, Marquinhos and a few other players.

We're just kind of watching.

We feel insignificant, because nobody notices us in the club.

Obviously, since Neymar is there, PSG's biggest star. They don't notice us.

So, the night goes on, it's getting a bit late.

It's 4:30 a.m. Everyone's a bit tired. They want to go out.

-Again? -No, out of the club and go home.

To throw an after-party.

Hatem comes up to us and says, "Guys, we've had enough."

"If you want, come to Neymar's place in Bougival."

"His house is awesome."

-Sorry. -And he says to Hakim, "I know that..."

You went to Neymar's house in Bougival.

And then... So...

So then...

So...

What's the story? It's that...

Stop saying "Bougival"!

It's true he has a house in Bougival. I don't mean to defend him.

It's true. But they couldn't picture me in Bougival.

Also, the name is funny.

Maybe the name's funny.

People really live in a town called Bougival.

Like in the word "bougie."

So I say to Hatem, "What are we going to do at Neymar's?"

So it was at Neymar's place?

"We won't see his trophy cabinet, but his medicine cabinet."

-And he gets mad. -Huh?

Because he's always injured.

The joke was bad, and he didn't like it.

-He got it? -He repeats it to Neymar.

And Neymar looks at us and says...

What?

Like he would rat them out to Neymar.

He said...

Forget it.

He said...

That means "I'm not mad"?

No. He means, "You're not coming."

-"You're not invited." -What language is that?

-What language is that? -Brazilian Portuguese.

-As in, "bravo"? -No.

"Don't come to my house."

You passed me the ball, and I fumbled.

I fumbled and I let the ball go.

-Anyway... -So you didn't go?

No, we didn't, because he got mad. So we left.

And we're like, "Let's go grab a kebab."

"Let's go grab a kebab."

So we're getting a kebab and we realize,

"Wait, doesn't that give you an idea?"

It gave us an idea for a movie about soccer,

and it's being produced by Amazon.

Get out of here!

That's how you sold it?

-What's the movie about? -What's the plot?

What's the movie about?

I want to leave this round now.

We want the proof.

Right! We forgot to explain the thing about proofs.

I'll get it.

If you wanted, you could show proof

that your story was true.

But with the proof, you have to be careful.

The proof should be believable,

especially if the story was a lie.

But not too believable either, if your story was true.

Because that would be like telling everyone the right answer.

You have to muddy the waters. Get it?

And whether the proof was real or not,

you had to try and sell it to confuse the others.

What's the proof?

He hasn't seen the proof. He's seeing it for the first time.

What is that shitty proof?

-That's so bad! -Let's see it.

-What is it? -What is it?

Let me see.

Is that Neymar's autograph? Let me see.

Let me see.

-Neymar's autograph. -You killed us!

You killed us!

You screwed us!

I can't take it anymore.

-He signed this for us before. -Ahmed!

You killed us!

It was hilarious.

At that point, even he lost it.

He crashed and burned.

Royally.

-Thank you, well done. -Any questions?

-Any questions? -None whatsoever.

I don't believe a word.

It's hilarious to listen to a bad liar.

The more he lied, the funnier it was to think,

"What's next?"

-Why is it on a napkin? -Because we were in a club.

I said, "Please, Ney. My phone's dead."

"Can I have an autograph?"

Hakim's phone wasn't dead.

I can't remember what he said,

but he took the napkin and signed it.

The bartender was next to us, so he used his pen.

That was a real stretch.

It's very hard to write on a napkin with a marker.

And it was in that crappy frame!

If it's Neymar, you frame it in something nice.

I have Jerry Lewis' autograph.

I put it in a beautiful frame.

-You're such liars. -We're so not.

Well done. It's impressive to lie like that.

-That was wonderful. -You didn't give up.

Did you know about the clue, Hakim?

-Did you know what it was? -No.

I swear, my stomach hurts.

Just imagine the other ones.

At that point, everyone thought they were done for.

And they underestimated them.

In Liars Club, you're always one lie away from a comeback.

Not bad! Well said.

Yes, we had to pull ourselves together and focus.

Now we really had to get our head in the game.

At that point, I was in a competitive mindset.

-Let's keep it under two minutes. -Yes.

We have to tell the story poorly,

without too much details.

When you tell a lie, the more details you give,

the more your heart knows you're lying,

and your heart rate speeds up.

You have to say as little as possible.

It's just science.

Then, something unbelievable and crazy happened,

Ahmed and Kad almost fought.

No, wait! Stop! You went too fast!

Yeah, sorry.

I wanted to try something, I got excited.

No.

Go back to when Ahmed and Hakim

started their second true, or fake, story.

-You start. -Let's listen to Ahmed and Hakim.

-Be efficient, bro. And quick. -Yes.

Who's holding onto your pants? Tiny hands?

It's a curtain.

It's really simple. Hakim and I were leaving a restaurant.

In Neuilly.

We went through the Bois de Boulogne.

And we saw a big SVR. I'm a huge car fan.

Any kind of car, anything on four wheels, I love them.

-Do you watch Turbo? -Sometimes. Dominique Chapatte!

He's very rich. He can really afford them.

-Stop. -It's true.

Anyway, we saw a big, matte gray SVR.

I have a friend who also has a gray SVR.

I can see he has a flat tire.

It was lower in the back.

Flat tire. I thought, "That sucks. I'm gonna stop, it could be my friend."

We stopped and rolled down the window.

The guy rolled down his too, and it was Teddy Riner in the car,

waiting for a tow truck.

Because he didn't know how to change a tire.

Since we've worked with him, I said, "We can't leave you like this,

"we're gonna help you." He said, "No, don't worry."

"A tow truck is coming."

His guy calls him back and says, "It should be an hour and a half."

An hour and a half for what?

-For the truck to get there. -Ah, okay.

His insurance called him and said it would take an hour and a half.

Hakim insisted, "Let me help you." He goes, "No, no."

-I talked with Teddy... -Hakim wanted to help someone?

I talked with Teddy, and...

No, for real. And he grabs a jack, to take off the tire.

-Hakim did that? -Yes.

But on real sports cars...

not on standards models.

On real sports cars, there are anti-theft lug nuts.

Because these models get stolen a lot.

You may not know that, but it's true.

Yes, go on.

Interesting.

-Freddy... -He's a real dick.

You're just being a dick.

-You piss me off. -Stop.

-I don't wanna talk. -He didn't say anything.

You're looking at me, I know what you're trying to do.

When people look at you onstage, do you stop?

That's insane.

That means he stops his shows when people look at him?

How many people come to your shows?

-You're annoying. -Just one guy throws you off?

-No... -Like someone who's lying.

He grabbed the tire, but he forced it out and scratched the car.

The tow truck guy finally showed up to finish changing the tire.

He said, "Bro, I don't know how you did it..."

Wait. Who called who?

What's with these stories?

They're just changing tires.

I don't get it.

So he scratched Teddy Riner's car. That's it.

-And then? -And that's it.

What do you mean "That's it"?

Come on, guys.

That's the story, guys.

That's it. It's a simple story.

The story is, we stopped in the middle of the night

and changed Teddy Riner's tire, both of us.

What a story.

"One day, we got a flat tire on the highway,

"and Ray Charles changed the tire."

We know that one.

Ahmed, on that type of car,

there is no jack. That was back in the day.

-Yes, there is. -You're right.

Of course there is.

-I'll bet you 10,000 euros... -Come on.

What do you mean there's no jack?

-Are you insane? -Come on.

Leave me alone. Why do you care so much about jacks?

Why are you harassing me? Are you crazy?

I agree.

-What does a jack looks like? -Show me.

-Draw me a jack. -Draw the jack.

Guys, no... I don't know how to draw.

Why didn't Teddy Riner grab the jack?

Can you imagine him jacking the car up with Teddy Riner inside?

Teddy Riner must be at least 150 pounds.

-No, 165. Easy. -Yes, 165.

Ahmed, how do explain the fact that in interviews,

Teddy Riner's said he doesn't have a driver's licence?

Okay, I see.

You know that Teddy Riner and I have become good friends.

That doesn't change my question.

-No. -He doesn't have a license.

Listen, two months later, he came to pick me up at home

and we went for a meal together.

-Without a license? -I want to get him...

He does have a license.

A good question can take you down.

That said,

they seemed pretty comfortable with that story.

They told it well. There was no confusion.

-Let's applaud them. -Yes.

Jack, Bois de Boulogne... Totally unrelated keywords.

But it was better than the Neymar story.

Since we knew the Neymar story was a lie, we thought...

But we don't know.

-We'll wait to hear the rest. -Yes.

Melha, come here!

I figured out their strategy.

They want everyone to think all their stories are lies.

How's it going, liars?

True or not, this story certainly had people guessing.

But they had to go the distance with their last story.

It's all about the mindset.

Hakim has an athlete's mindset.

He used to play soccer.

We want to win.

I don't like losing.

-I don't want to lose. -Me neither.

To make things more fun,

we'll show you the proof first and we'll go from there.

-I like it. -That's a good idea in terms of form.

Go ahead.

-The proof. -Watch.

What country's that flag, guys?

-Senegal. -Senegal.

Very good.

-It's a film shoot. -That's the movie you shot together.

Here and There.

-Is there supposed to be sound? -Should we do the voices?

I'm Ahmed Sylla, let's go!

That's the only voice I could come up with. Sorry.

You have recognized the flag of Senegal.

For our last film, Here and There, we filmed there for a week.

Me, yes. Two days for you.

In a nutshell, in the film,

Hakim lives in Senegal and I live in France.

He feels more Senegalese, and I feel more French.

It's a social comedy that talks a little about racism.

At the end of the movie, he gets married.

-To Fadily? -It was weird, because she was there.

Yes, she was there.

FADILY IS HIS RIDE-OR-DIE GF

Yes. And she said to me,

"I felt jealous for the first time."

-She was pretty. -I was touched.

-The girl was pretty. -Much more than Fadily.

Why wasn't she jealous when we kissed on that show?

She said, "It's fine sister, we're good."

As if I couldn't be a threat!

Anyway, we went there for the shooting.

I was relaxed, having filmed only for two days.

I got up, brushed my teeth, and I did something dumb,

something really stupid.

-You drank the water. -I drank the water.

I figured it was fine, because I'm Senegalese.

-You thought you'd be okay. -I can handle it.

That was at the start of the day, and then I was fine.

I felt a couple of rumblings in my stomach but didn't pay much attention to it.

We go to lunch.

-We go to lunch. -Yikes.

Of course, we eat local food.

-So spicy. -Excellent food.

-Excellent, and I'm used to it. -At Bouba's.

We come back from lunch,

at 1:30 p.m. Then I think...

It's gonna be a struggle, but I say nothing.

2:00 p.m.

I felt like a concert was setting up inside me.

I thought, "It's okay, the fans are waiting in line."

"I will clench my cheeks a little,

and close the curtain."

"No one should be able to come in before we open the gates."

But I could feel they wanted to get in already.

They wanted to run in, like at a Billie Eilish concert.

I don't say anything. We start shooting some scenes.

"Action. Cut." It's going well.

I tighten a little more. I'm really working my core.

3:00 p.m.

I can really feel that, inside,

the concert has to start. The support act is over.

Everyone is screaming for the main act.

4:00 p.m.

We're about to shoot the first take for his emotional scene.

I had to get ready to cry.

So annoying. I was supposed to cry but I wasn't feeling like it.

It was a beautiful day, my wife and son were there...

So I really had to focus.

-You were ready? -I was ready.

I was in the zone, doing my thing. Anyway, keep going.

We're going to shoot the first take of his emotional scene.

He's facing his dad. Tears are supposed to be flowing.

The director Ludovic Bernard goes, "And... action!"

The crew is right in front of me,

I can see everyone doing their thing.

Two and a half seconds later... "Cut!"

-You said that? -Yes.

-"Cut!" -He wasn't in the shot.

-I was off-camera. -He was to come in after.

"Cut!"

Isn't that great? "Cut."

I clench my butt "cherks."

At that point they were "cherks".

Not "cheeks". So I clench my butt.

As you know, we were on a boat.

-Yes. -Yikes.

-There was no bathroom. -No bathroom to go to.

-Nothing. -In the water?

No. I had to take the boat back to my trailer.

He was wearing his only suit.

-A beige suit. -Beige, yes.

So, "Cut!" Ludo gave me a look. Hakim was... pissed.

-I left like this. -I was tearing up.

-Honestly. -That's an accurate walk.

I try my best to avoid friction between my cheeks.

I get on the boat and leave.

I think, "That's fine, I'll sit for a minute and that's it."

When it's just liquid, you go once and you're done.

I spent 40 minutes in there.

So 40 minutes later,

I'm going back, feeling better.

When I get on set, all the crew is like...

-That's awesome. -I was like this.

-That's insane. -Amazing.

It almost feels too real.

-I agree. -You're a conspiracy theorist.

-It's too real. -She's an anti-vaxxer.

We felt it. It's like we were with you.

They were good. They told that story well.

I disagree. From the get go, I didn't buy it.

It was too honest. Too many details.

Everything is perfectly scripted.

Hakim, did you shoot your scene without Ahmed?

No, they didn't shoot it.

You didn't shoot your scene?

-I shot my scene. -Without him?

-For the most part. -What was he supposed to do?

Were you in the "crying" scene?

-Yes. -It's a wedding, with guests.

Ahmed was one of them.

Did you have any lines?

No.

So you had no lines.

-That's the weird part. -What is?

They filmed the scene without him. They don't agree on that.

They could have shot it, since he had no lines.

-Were you supposed to look at him? -No.

The assistant said to me, "We're running behind."

Leave me alone!

That was annoying.

-It's really tough. -Really tough.

But I managed.

Do you go to many countries where you can't drink the water?

Yes.

Did you ever drink from the tap without issue?

-Are you used to it? -No, I never drink from the tap.

-So just because of your ancestry... -That was a joke.

-I thought... -You don't drink it...

-I know. -I was born in Nantes.

In Nantes, you can drink it.

-Your immune system is from Nantes. -From France, from Brittany.

Even in Nantes, you' have to be careful.

That was Ahmed at his best.

I just think it's strange, that as an actor,

you have a trailer and you're drinking tap water.

Your trailer must be full of water bottles and soda.

Good point.

You fixated on the part about him drinking.

He told the story almost too well.

-I didn't believe that part. -I did.

You're brushing your teeth

and you drink from the tap because you're thirsty?

Let's hear it for them.

-Well done! -Well done!

They thought they finally told a good story,

but that was before the elevator opened.

Revealing a surprise guest.

Is that your mom?

That was the icing on the cake.

I swear, I wanted to jump off a bridge.

Who's that?

-Then everything changed. -I thought,

she never should have come.

THE TRUTH IS THERE IS NO TRUTH!
