Police!

You're being taken in on suspicion of murder

THE INTRUDER

- You grew up in the countryside? - That's right. Near Bergerac

Five brothers and sisters, so I babysat a lot

- Other children too? - Yes

- Babies? - Of course

Twins once. That was quite a workout

Orso's six months old?

What do your parents do?

My mum's a nurse...

...and my dad travels a lot. He's in sales

- And cooking is your thing? - That's right

My dream is to be a chef and open my own restaurant in Paris

Great

-Like my mum -She had a restaurant?

No, she worked in a school canteen

That's good

So you've got your vocational qualification?

No

Well... I'm taking a year off

Right. Why?

To have lots of different experiences...

...and save money to make my dream come true

I can cook for you too

The priority is Orso

His walks, his naps, his meals...

Of course

Not that we'd mind a meal now and then

Our two older children can manage pretty much by themselves, right?

We never had a nanny for Camille and Basile

It's a first for us

Everything will be fine

You'll have your own room, of course

On top of room and board, we thought 500 euros a month

And you'll have your Sundays off

I don't mind doing Sundays too

- Is that him? - I'll get him

Was there no room at nursery

I imagine you'll want me to start pretty soon

Sorry, an insistent patient

Yes, you'll have to start Monday. My wife's going back to work

He'll be like this for an hour now

Can I hold him?

Orso, this is Tess

- Do you have a hairdryer? - Yes, why?

You'll see, it's amazing

That's mad

Yes, certain sounds have a calming effect

It's what they call "white noise" in English

Here, this is for you

Hello, I'm your new friend, Bunny

I knitted it myself

Do you have any more questions?

No. Oh, yes, the number of your last employer

Yes, I'll send it to you

Well, we're not a perfect family, but you'll see, we do our best

I'd be happy here, I'm sure

-I'll give him back to you -Thank you

Keep the bunny, it’s a present for Orso

-Thanks -Monday, then?

-I'll see you out -Yes, we'll be in touch

We're seeing one more person..

...an Irish girl

But we'll let you know very soon

OK

I speak good English

Great

-We'll call you -Yes

-Thanks -Thanks, goodbye

Shall I call her and tell her yes

Are you sure?

Do you need a university degree?

No, it's not that...

...but it's a shame we didn't see the Irish girl

Did you call her?

She didn't show up or even apologise

No, that rules her out

And the other two from the agency weren't that bright

That small ad was a good idea

It's up to you

And that hairdryer trick was amazing

Yes, or just sheer luck

Look at this

- What? - Come

What is it?

What did you see?

I thought I saw someone

There's no one there

- You set the alarm, right? - Of course, don't worry

Come on

You've finished the milk?

- Aren't you turning vegan? - Go and get some more

Kids, this is Tess

Hello, Tess

She'll be looking after Orso

Pleased to meet you. Basile, Camille

She's the pain of the family, there had to be one

Do you have to open your mouth?

I'd rather you didn't make Tess hate us on day one

I have to get to work

- You're not off this morning? - No, I couldn't reschedule

Great, thanks a lot

So, for Orso..

...I breastfed him half an hour ago, there are three bottles

That should be enough

- OK, the next at 11:30? - Exactly

- Shall I show you around? - Please

-Eat up and go to school, kids -Yes

I'll show you upstairs

This is Basile's bedroom. He's very tidy, everything's neat

Here's Orso's bedroom

This is our bedroom

That's the toilet

And here's Camille's room

A total mess

Here's the bathroom

And here's the office

But neither you nor the children must go in here

There's medical stuff, it's dangerous, OK?

I'll show you your room

We've set you up in the kids' playroom

But decorate it how you like

You need to feel at home here

Thanks

- Is that' in Mexico? - Yes

I've never even been on a plane

I did loads of babysitting to pay for my first travels

You'll be able to, one day

little love

I'm going to work, OK? See you later

Take good care of him

You can count on me

And make sure the door's locked. There were break-ins last summer

-OK -Thanks

- Good morning - Hi

- How are you? - Good, and you?

-It's great to see you -Same here

-You look really well -Yeah, right

That's your desk now

- Really? It's no longer... - No

- Didn't you get the email from HR? - No

Odd. Well, I'll explain

Ludivine's contract was renewed

She'll help you with the sales side

Elsa thought working together would be more motivating

Thanks

Paula

We missed you

Me too

We haven't had time to organise a welcome-back party, sorry

For him... or her?

Him, a little boy, Orso

Orso? What a wonderful name

-Thank you -You're welcome

Paula, we're so glad to have you back

Things weren't great before you left

With the recession they're no better

We're getting shit from the investors

We've got six months until the closing of accounts

We're way behind. We have to review all our growth paths

I think you and Ludivine will make a great team

Tell me you've been having great ideas

Well, I was on maternity leave, so...

But yes, I have ideas

That's brilliant

You had the distance that we don't have. That's precious

Excuse me

I have to take this. Shall we have a meeting this afternoon?

See you later

It's great to have you back

Hello, Tess, is everything OK with Orso?

Yes, not very glamorous, I know

That's why I'd never breastfeed

Paula, I haven't seen you in the shared agenda today

I need a bit of time to prepare

I understand, but we're really pressed for time

- Can we get together tomorrow? - Yes, OK

The investors are hoping to catch us out. I need you

OK. No problem

Sure? OK

Thanks, Paula -Thanks

- You like it? - It's wonderful

I took the liberty of getting out the best tableware

It belonged to my mother-in-law, I never dared touch it

How was it with Orso?

Great. He's just got off to sleep

Oh, right. I'll pop up and kiss him in a bit

- And work? - Great

It's nice being with adults too

Did I walk into the wrong house? - Don't exaggerate

-Mum -Hi, sweetie

It smells good, what is it?

It's veal Marengo with steamed potatoes

-My mum's favourite -That's right

No pressure, then

Thanks, Tess

No problem

This calls for a photo

- Did you get my shin pads? - Sorry, I forgot

The shop's next door to your office

go tomorrow. Smile, everyone

OK, really ugly

About time you admitted it

-Come on, let's eat -Let's eat

-It's a feast -Oh, wow

I'll dish up

Thank you

Feet. Honestly

-She's an animal -Shut up

Thank you

Tess, what about you?

She's not going to watch us eat?

Yes, of course. I hadn't...

Yes, come on, Tess

Get a plate

How was your day?

OK, but the company's in a bad way. They're talking about redundancies

Always buying new stuff is bad for the planet

But it means more work for me right now

Well, I'm here

It's delicious

success

And your operation

We intervened in time. The patient is recuperating

He eases his conscience as a dermatologist...

..by not only injecting Botox

He also operates on burn victims

I've seen you on TV

Yes, he was even asked for an autograph once, right?

You two rock tonight

No, no

I'll go

Eat your dinner, I'll see to him. You look tired

Is she a cousin of Mary Poppins?

Seriously, though

- Anyone want water? - Please

Do you think I look tired

Not especially

We should go out, to see a film or for a meal

It'd do us good

It's not a great time, with my job

On the contrary. Let's make the most of having Tess

In fact, I ran into Aline

She suggested we get together for a drink

Yes, why not?

175 beats a minute. Not bad -Yes, not bad

- Were you in the office last night? - No

Why?

It's strange, the door was open

It wasn't me

Maybe it was Tess

- What would she be doing in there? - No idea

I'll ask the kids

You'll think I'm paranoid, but I can't find my blue jacket

You just didn't look hard enough. You'll find it

You seem worried

We hired someone so you could get more rest

Make the most of it

But won't you annoy people by blocking roads?

Yes, I admit it's radical...

...but there's no time to lose

Yes, I get it...

Kids, did you go in the office last night?

Kids, did you go in the office- last night?

No

You told me not to

The door was open

So, to get the message across we have to hit hard

-OK, I get it -That's the point

It's brave of you

-You must be proud of her -Yeah, right

It annoys her

No, it doesn't, I'm proud of you

I just think you're too serious

These are serious times. You don't get it

She's your mum, of course she worries about you

-I've made you some coffee -That's nice, thanks

A selfie?

- In the morning? - Yes

Come on

Come on, Tess

That'll get loads of likes

I don't do it for that

Yeah, right

So, hashtag brekky

Hashtag thefamilyisgrowing

With our great new au pair. Let me post it

Yes, OK, have a nice day

Have a nice day

- You're not eating? - No, thanks

Mrs Vandar, this is Mrs Martel. I left you a message yesterday

I just wanted to know how things went with Tess and your daughter

Could you call me back, please? Have a nice day, bye

Hi

You're in early

like it, it's quieter

Last night I was collating data on our competition

I thought it'd be nice...

..to increase partnerships outside the usual outlets

in unexpected places

We had that idea while you were off

OK

"Ideas drinks"? What's that?

Elsa started it at the beginning of the year

We meet up for a drink after work, nice and relaxed

It's a casual brainstorm session

You'll like it

- All right? - You taking the piss?

Your boss wants me to call her back. What am I supposed to say?

Calm down, Just say what I told you

I looked after your kid, Julie, for a year, and I was really nice

In fact, I was perfect. Just improvise a bit

You've got a fucking nerve, getting me involved!

And watch your language

You're putting pressure on me

Yes, I know

Anyway, do you miss me?

Yes, I really do

Oh, I saw the principal at the college

He said you can't just pull out and disappear like that

You didn't tell him where I am?

Don't worry, I won't say anything

Sorry, I have to go. Just be credible with Paula, please

the secret of the perfect mum: an au pair who does everything!

Yes, Elsa?

Paula, where are you? We're in the pub. Are you coming?

That's a bit tricky, I'm on my way to meet a supplier

That's a shame. We're all here, it's nice

It's the perfect time to brainstorm your new ideas

Sorry. We could do it tomorrow

No, tomorrow's a bank holiday

Too bad. You can present them at the weekly meeting

OK. Sorry, I've got another ca

See you

OK, have a nice evening

Hello, Mrs Vandar

Hello

No, you shouldn't, he's just falling asleep

I want to give him a kiss. Two nights in a row is too much

Cooey, my love

Is he wearing a fragrance?

Yes, I bought it today. Do you like it?

He's still a baby. He'll have plenty of time for that

Sorry

No, it's no big deal

Maybe just avoid initiatives like that

-Oh, Paula -Hi, how are you?

We saw Jerome and thought: "How about that drink?"

Yes, great

-We keep talking about it -You're right

Are you OK?

Yes, and you?

Hello

Oh, Tess. Come here, I'll introduce you

Nicolas and Aline, our neighbours

And Tess, our au pair

Pleased to meet you

Can you open a bottle of wine for us?

In the last crate on the right

-OK -Thanks

You could have gone yourself

Yes, you're right, I could have

So you've succumbed to the lure of an au pair?

Yes, with the three kids and two jobs, it was complicated

We can afford it, so...

Without Paula's mum it wasn't easy. She helped a lot

She seems fantastic. Is she local?

No, she's from the Dordogne

I wasn't sure at first. But Paula insisted

Doesn't it feel weird having someone here 24/7?

No, she's been pretty discreet thus far

-She's adapted to our way of life -That's true

That's great

Thanks, Tess, we can manage

I like doing it

I learnt how to do that little twist...

...so that it doesn't drip

Thanks, Tess

No, not for me

You're not drinking?

That's not like you

What's that?

Got-cha

What?

Carry on

As we're all here...

...we'll announce it. We're trying to adopt

-Fantastic -I'm really happy for you

We haven't given up on her getting pregnant, but...

...we're going to adopt

I have a friend who drank this morning, noon and night...

..for three months

And she got pregnant. After trying for four years

Please, Doctor, don't tell her it's a placebo

All that matters is that it works

Right

To our desires

And Orso? Bet he's changed a lot

You wouldn't recognise him

-Show them some photos -No, no

-I won't bore them with photos -Yes, I want to see him

But the strange thing about him is...

...I can't tell which one of you he takes after

Why is that important? It won't be if you adopt

That's true

That didn't come out right. It was tactless

No, you’re right

Are you hungry? Shall I get something? Yes?

Do you need a hand?

Is something wrong?

I've just come for a glass

- Do you want me to do that? - Goodnight, Tess

Goodnight

That decision to adopt will do them good

I wouldn't be surprised if she gets pregnant now

-It happens with a lot of women -Really?

Anyway, it was nice seeing them. We should do that more often

You're beautiful

What?

Didn't you hear that?

No

Wait

I'm sorry, honey...

I just can't

I'm really not in the mood

What's the matter?

I don't know, I just don't feel right...

can't explain it

Knowing Tess is there, I can't relax

Don't worry, you'll be OK once we settle into a routine

For the parents it's a transition phase

They may feel lots of things they'd never have imagined

Good morning

Unpleasant thoughts may overwhelm them

If they're warned in advance about these thoughts...

...they'll be able to cope with them better

Some women experience severe and prolonged fatigue.

...even total exhaustion

Also, they're being inundated with contradictory demands

Ask the women you know if they feel like having fun under the duvet...

...when they have so much on their minds

In fact, the postpartum period is not just the first few weeks

It can last months...

...during which time a woman takes repossession of her body..

..her sensuality and her desires

We expect mothers to pick up their lives.

..but what are we doing to help them?

Quite the opposite, we're putting extra pressure on them

They're supposed to be beautiful and desirable...

...when all they want., let's not lie, is to have a nap

...to be alone: to listen to a podcast

...to take a bath

That's the first thing

Instead of piling on expectations, like that of a reawakened libido...

society should ask itself what it's really doing...

to help young mothers

Then, yes, one can think about one's sex life...

...and even enjoy it again, with gusto

It depends on many things: if one is breastfeeding...

...if one is working, one's partner, the time one has...

Come on if we're going to the beach

I think Tess heard us last night

It's possible, her room's above ours

It could happen. But what would she have heard?

I didn't realise she'd be here all the time, morning, noon and night

It's really intrusive

She's great with Orso...

...the kids love her, she really indulges them

You too, in fact. Maybe she isn't the problem

- Go on, what are you saying? - I don't know, I...

-You heard me -So I'm the problem?

Yes, put yourself in her shoes. She's wonderful

Am I supposed to pity her?

- Is Claire coming to your match? - Yes

You seem to tee getting serious

Dad. Cringe

Cringe

I'm putting on plenty, the sun's strong

- Am I going red? - A little bit

Mum, what's the shin-pad situation?

Ow old are you

- Why? - Can't you go?

Oh, right. You're firing live ammunition

-You promised me -I'll go, I promise, tomorrow

-Come on -I'm coming

-I'll watch Orso if you want to swim -No, it's OK

I got a third degree burn from a boiling saucepan

I didn't know, I'm sorry

I’ve had worse

How about a family photo?

Yes, a good idea

-Orso -Yes, get him

- A photo? - Yes

Like this

- Do you want me to take it? - Thanks

One, two, three...

Thank you

I can't join these folders together. Do you know how?

- May I? - Yes

Thanks

Goodnight

I've looked everywhere. I’m sure I put it back in our bedroom

Are you sure? In the office?

Can you help me instead of doubting me?

It's not my fault if you keep losing stuff

-My presentation's in an hour -Found it

was in the kitchen

You see

I'll be back with Basile after his match

Sorry, Tess. Paula's a bit on edge at the moment

It's going back to work

A thank you would have been nice -Yes, thank you, Tess

Lucky for us you're here. Anyway, I have to go

Have a nice day

Hello, everyone

How are we today?

-Great -Great?

- Did you get my email? - Yes

Excellent

We can get started

Paula, are you ready?

Yes

Please hurry, I have an appointment after this

Right. The company is at a crucial juncture

We've performed well, meeting our customers' expectations...

...and thanks to our online presence..

...which has kept costs down

But the business is stalling, people expect more innovation

So our development priority...

...should be based on upcycling our collections...

...reviewing our stock and giving a second life to unused material

The idea would be to create a second-hand offer...

...with a capsule or a sort of special edition...

...with young designers who share our values

-It's interesting -Yes, it's great

It's interesting and it's very on-trend right now

Have you got some figures?

I did have. But now I...

bring them tomorrow, I can't find them

At the meeting tomorrow what do I do? Your ideas are fine, but...

Sorry

We can do them right now, you and I

For example

- So they'll be ready for tomorrow? - Yes

Without the figures we can't do anything

Perfect. I have to go now. See you tomorrow, first thing

See you

-Good luck -Thanks

Hello, this is Tess, I'll call you back

Tess, I'm stuck at work

Could you go and pick up Basile's shin pads?

Then take them to him? Thanks

Paula, call me back, it's important

What happened?

I played without shin pads

I asked Tess to go and get them for you

You didn't

-Yes, I left you a message -No, I didn't get anything

Yes

Why didn't you get them yourself?

Mum said she would, as the shop's by her office

You promise, but then you don't do it

My season's screwed now. I'll be out for weeks

-I'm sorry -Tess took him to hospital

gave him some corticosteroids, got Orso, and we went

- You gave him corticosteroids? - His leg was badly swollen

My mum's a nurse, I know the right dose

Take deep breaths

You have to bear this

I feel really guilty about Basile

But I know that I called her

Forget it, the damage is done now

Yes, or... I don't know...

...maybe she got the message but didn't have time...

...so she's lying to... I don't know

You're really overstretched at the moment, darling

I'm worried about you

Stop talking to me like I'm a simpleton

What are you doing?

I'm off to that convention tomorrow. Have you forgotten?

Yes, I forgot

No, I'll be fine, don't worry. I'll be fine

Maybe you should see your therapist

Call her, please

Please leave a message after the beep

Hello, Mrs Roussel, it's Paula Martel

I told you that I’d found an au pair, but...

I wondered if you had any others on your books?

I'll explain why. Please call me back. Bye

I've got Orso's stuff ready. What are we doing today?

You can have the day off

It hasn't been just us for quite a while

A pretty postcard you haven't had yet. I love you. Jerome

And what love can do dares love attempt

Can you two stop sulking?

Tess?

It's nice in the bath, isn't it?

Then it'll be time for beddy-byes

You're smiling

Hello, Paula

Yes, Elsa?

Wait

Wait

Yes?

Great

I'm really pleased

Cool

-Shit -Just a sec

What is it?

He was drowning
