All language subtitles for After The Fire Retail

Driss...

Nour...

and Karim.

You belong to your family now.

AFTER THE FIRE

Hey, bro.

Malika, am I disturbing you?

What is it?

Problem with Karim.

He was arrested last night.
I'm outside the police station.

They won't talk.

Fuck, Driss.

It's been hours. There's no news.

We said we wouldn't get involved.

-This is different.
-It's not.

Let him handle his shit.

Go home.

-Say hi to Estelle for me.
-Okay.

Fuck!

Hey, man.

-Look what I got.
-Any good?

It's great. You can have it for 40.

Malika, stop staring at me.

Got a guilty conscience?

Nope.

See that?

You can't cross that line.

-Who cares about four inches?
-Twelve.

You fight for less.

Hey!

-Talk to your lady.
-She's right.

-You nearly knocked my stuff over.
-Admit it.

Okay, I admit it, but, still...

You're at least 16 inches over the line.

Four inches... What's four inches, Hervé?

-Four inches.
-Stop it!

-Four inches.
-Stop it!

-Four inches.
-Just stop it!

Stop it! Get lost!

You stopped it.

Come on...

time for bed.

-You're a pain...
-Karim's in the hospital.

I'm with Dad. Come now.

I can't reach Driss or my dad.

-Are they in there?
-Yes.

-Any news of Karim?
-No one's seen him.

-I'll go in.
-Be careful.

I'm the boy's sister. Let me in.

-No, not yet.
-He's my brother.

-I said no.
-He's...

Enough. Move back.

How is he?

Driss...

How is he?

Kill these fuckers!

Cars set on fire, the fire department
overwhelmed, bus stops smashed...

An outburst of violence...

An outburst of violence...

Last night near Strasbourg...

A young man died during his arrest
in a sensitive neighborhood.

The investigation points
to a fatal epileptic fit.

Internal Affairs has been called in
by the public prosecutor.

This is the hospital's report.

The administrative and medical sections.

Go to the town hall with it

and get a dozen copies
of the death certificate.

Did you see the body?

No.

It's normal to send it
to the Forensic Institute. Look.

The doctor checked
the "forensic obstacle" box.

From then on, things differ
from a normal death.

They recognize it's suspicious?

No, it means

the hospital reserves judgment.

I don't understand.

Who said Karim died of an epileptic fit?

The police.

Did you get any details?

Do we know why he was arrested?

Do we know why he was arrested?

No.

But you can ask.

Maybe push things a bit.

It'd be very awkward,
given your situation.

Our situation...

-He had a police record.
-So?

He was fuckin' 25!

They killed him.

Don't you see that?

You got nothing to say?

Mr. El Yadari, the burial permit
was issued, with permission

to move the body and close the coffin.

You can bury Karim tomorrow.

Dad...

Driss doesn't believe it was a fit.

But I had a look and...

drugs can cause epilepsy.

What do you think?

I don't know.

They'll investigate.

Let's prepare the wake.

Dressed like that?

It's a wake, Nour, not a fashion show.

I know.

-It's to bury Karim.
-I know, okay.

So, why make me explain?

So, why make me explain?

Oh, please...

Here, you can wear Dad's sweater.

You're a pain in the ass!

Malika...

The police phoned.
They wanted Karim's address.

What did you say?

That I didn't know it.

Hey.

Guys, you're being noisy.

Stop coming in and out.

Why?

You know why.

You wanna search me?

You're being a jerk.
Don't get Karim's family in the shit.

-Things are already shit.
-I know, damn it.

Think of their father.

Sorry.

Sorry.

We're really sorry.

Thank you.

-You okay? Did you get some rest?
-No.

-Did you sleep?
-No.

Hey, guys!

-Be careful, okay?
-Yeah, yeah.

What about them?

They're angry... and upset.

No, don't cry. Everyone's already crying.

I'm not. It's okay.

Do you know how our wakes work?

No.

Basically...

this place is for the women.

My dad's is for the men. It's separate.

-Okay, so if I want to help?
-It's here. Thanks.

The police called Dad.

To find out where Karim lived.

Got a spare key?

To pin something on him?

You got a key or not?

There are riots. Let me go.

No, stay with Dad.

Fuck...

Engine off, hands on the windshield.

Hands!

On your way.

Hey, come here!

-You really going back?
-Yeah.

Are you sure?

Karim.

It'll be okay. Don't cry.

Malika...

You're not answering.

I don't understand.

You know...

Your rejection is killing me.

I know the others side with you,
but, I don't know...

I'm still your brother.

Call me when you can.

Don't bury Karim.

Don't bury Karim.

You have to refuse the body.

We can't.

Dad, listen to him.

Let him speak.

Don't bury Karim tomorrow.

Otherwise there can't be a legal review.

The evidence won't be admissible.

Our lawyer said
an investigation is underway.

So, there's a problem with your lawyer.

If you get the body tomorrow,

there'll just be

a brief investigation, a masquerade.

To make things happen,

you have to file a civil suit
and get a new assessment.

And speak to the media
and create a movement.

Use his death for political ends?

Nour, come on.

What? I'm just asking.

There are lots of cases like Karim's.

The difference in media coverage
is how fast the family acts.

The difference in media coverage
is how fast the family acts.

The journalists will show up.

People will mobilize.
That'll give you a window of opportunity.

If you talk now, people will listen.

So, yeah, I want to use

his death for political ends.

Will that bring him back?

We have to bury him
for the family, for him,

for God.

The answer's no.

You're right, Mohamed.

If you don't act now, it'll be too late.

My father said no. Enough.

What do you mean
by a "window of opportunity"?

I don't know.

But when the fire goes out...

it'll be over.

-Good luck.
-Thanks.

'Evening, ma'am.

-Are you related to Karim El Yadari?
-Sister and sister-in-law.

We want a word.

It's the police.

-They want a word.
-Why?

-'Evening. Mr. El Yadari?
-Yes.

My brother and my husband.

My brother and my husband.

We want to talk.

About what? My brother's murder?

Look...

Okay, go on, talk.

We're not talking at this time of night.

-Maybe they'll tell us about his death.
-Calm down.

We're calm. But why are you here?

It wasn't us.

-What do you want?
-You show up late at night...

The kids want to avenge your brother.

-They're doing it in your name.
-Oh, okay.

You're blaming us for the riots?

No, we thought that talking to you
could calm things down.

Are you serious? Goddamn idiots!

Let us talk.

-So, fuckin' talk!
-Calm down.

Let's listen. Maybe they mean well.

They wanna snoop and spy. Look at 'em.

There's no point talking to their kind.

Yeah, you mean well!

I think what happened was an accident.

An accident?

Admit it when you kill a kid, you fuckers!

-Calm down!
-Shut your mouth!

Driss, come here.

Calm down, damn it. Let Malika handle it.

-Enough. Just get lost.
-Don't talk to us like that!

Let go of him!

-On the ground!
-Get off.

You're hurting me!

Wait till Driss gets out

to make a decision.

We don't have time.

Either we bury Karim or we don't.

You're sure?

Yes.

Very well. In that case, sign here.

We remain responsible for keeping

the deceased.

Can I see the body?

Yes, of course.

Will this be taken into account?

It should be.

But marks like that tend to disappear
soon after death.

You should take photos.

Didn't you do that?

Yes, they're in the file
for the public prosecutor.

You should take your own.

Can she?

Will you help me?

Ladies and gentlemen, let me
express our thanks to the firefighters

who put out the fires
once again last night

in and around Strasbourg.

These riots started
after the death of a youth

known to the police.
It has been established

that he died after an epileptic fit,
probably aggravated by drug use.

There have now been
24 arrests in the riots.

Some of the perpetrators
of arson and criminal damage

will soon be tried.

These stats are available to the press.

The truth will soon be established.

We hope it will lead
to the end of the violence.

-Hey, Estelle.
-What the fuck got into you?

-Well, I'm out now.
-Yeah, but, honestly...

-What if it had gone wrong?
-Well, it didn't.

I'm here, Okay? I'll be careful.

Don't sulk.

So?

They let me out.

We won't back down.

No.

You do the talking.

No, in some families, the guys talk.

Yeah, but the media prefer
girls like you to guys like him.

I don't want to.

-He's right.
-I don't want to.

-He's right.
-I don't want to.

Are you ready?

Your brother died
shortly after his arrest.

You blame the police.

Yes.

The police say it was an epileptic fit.

No...

Karim wasn't sick. They said that,
but they could have said anything...

such as... a stomach ulcer,

but that's not why Karim died.

There's been rioting since he died.

Are you calling for calm?

No, are the authorities calling
for the police to calm down? No.

-You condemn the rioters?
-No,

I'm not their leader.
I can't condemn them.

And it's not the main issue.

What's your message?

For these young people?

Nothing.

Thank you.

-Good.
-Don't make fun of me.

Thanks.

We'll move that.

This won't end in glory, let me tell you.

The job must be done.

Tell kids there's a political solution.

There's not "nothing," as they say.

Those folks who talk in our name,

who tell our story.
We can see right through them.

From the '90s on, wherever we went,
we educated people.

Whenever a kid got killed,

we mobilized.
That was before fuckin' Instagram. Look.

This was five years ago, after Saïd died.

This was five years ago, after Saïd died.

We went around and brought
hundreds of people together in a day.

Not really hundreds.

After the march, we got inside City Hall.

We wouldn't go till we'd seen the mayor.
We occupied his office.

-You got into City Hall?
-Right.

Good idea.

-Were the cops there?
-Sure.

We kicked 'em out. Boom!

"Boom!"

He's been lying!

-I'm telling you.
-He exaggerates.

You know we got into City Hall.

Don't give them false hope.
Ten of you spent ten minutes inside.

Whose side are you on?

-The police's?
-You complain,

but it's why people have short memories.
Oldies talk about epic battles.

-I'm sure even you don't remember.
-I remember very well.

You did well,
but did the authorities listen to you?

Wanna know the truth?

We were perfectly heroic,

but we got taken down.

-It'll backfire. We'll lose.
-Lose what?

Our time, to start with. It'll take years

and cost a fortune.

How many families get torn apart?

-We're done for.
-She's right.

I'm sick of all this.

-We have no choice.
-Stop that.

Here's what'll happen.
Dad'll snap, we'll have trouble

with the cops, you'll lose your jobs.
The families always lose in court.

-Slim says trials are a platform.
-Fuck!

Do you know who your mentor really is?

-Yes.
-He's crazy.

He did time for battery.

All of us fall foul of the law.

Except you traitors!

Fuck! You guys are a pain.

-Pardon?
-What's your problem?

Scared of what the whities think?

Scared of what the whities think?

You scared everyone will realize
you're an Arab?

Well?

Come on...

Whose fault is all this?

-Whose?
-Stop it, Nour.

Enough.

So, we keep quiet.

You're the boss!

You kicked Karim out.
It's your fault he went astray.

Wow! I mean, wow!

You're the best!

-We all agreed.
-About Karim?

No. Don't say that.

You decided to kick him out

when you had Réda.

Will you tell the journalists

Karim started taking drugs with you?

-Your dear brother...
-You don't belong here!

Go home and shut your mouth!

Beat it! Scram!

-Beat it!
-Stop it.

-Beat it!
-Stop it.

Justice For Karim

-Okay?
-It's looking good.

They're not staying the night?

Where's my laptop?

-In the kitchen.
-Thanks.

We need a lawyer for the civil case.
Do you know a Yanis Harchi?

I sure do.

-He's good, right?
-No.

-Not at all.
-No?

He only gets involved
when there's money to be made.

The creep does all he can
to bleed you dry.

-Did you talk to him?
-I can't reach him.

-Did you talk to him?
-I can't reach him.

See? Want me to find you a free lawyer?

No. To stand a chance of winning,
we need a top lawyer.

Up to you.

As I told you, he's not available.

What do you mean, not available?

I called you ten times,
you just brush me the fuck off!

Put him on now!

You're just fucking me around!
Who do you think I am?

Put him on and shut your fuckin' mouth!

Mr. Harchi.

-Mr. Harchi.
-Mrs. El Yadari.

-You know the case?
-The fit.

-It wasn't.
-I know.

-I won't take the case.
-Is it the money?

To start with, yes.

You take Jihadists
when you're court-appointed.

-They can't pay.
-They're interesting.

And they're polite.
You insult my staff and want my help?

Are we done?

Nice to meet you.

Shit...

Okay, she's crazy...

Yes?

We have a support fund.

We can pay.

I suggest we start with your regular fees,

then if the media coverage helps,
you could lower your rate a bit.

-And your colleague...
-That you insulted?

-And your colleague...
-That you insulted?

The one I insulted, yes.

I've checked
and we're entitled to legal aid.

She could have that money.

-You've done your homework.
-Yes.

-Let go of my window.
-Okay.

Hi. Sorry we're late.

-You okay?
-Yeah, you?

Come and get warm.

So, what's happening?

-My boss gave me a reprimand.
-No!

Unauthorized absence.

No surprise.

Karim's death is more important.

-Fuck him.
-Yeah.

I know how it is.

But in Youth Protection,

we have a shrink
and a special needs teacher,

me. If he doesn't come back,
he gets fired.

-Period.
-You'll defend me.

-Period.
-You'll defend me.

I do, but if I carry on,
they'll kick you out.

Are you two able to work?

Not really. Adel is running the stand.

Yeah, great... No, it's not!

It's tough.

Hey! What's gotten into you?

What's this miracle?

God is great! Incredible!

-In restaurants, I eat.
-You eat?

-After weeks not eating.
-Thank you, God. I'm glad.

I was eating.

You hid it well. Did you see her?

It's good to talk. Your brother

kept saying, "Malika won't eat.
What'll happen? What'll she do?"

It's true, I was worried.

We all were.
We were wondering when you'd fall over.

We were ready to call an ambulance,
"Come along.

Help us out here."

-Well, I didn't fall over.
-Nope.

-I didn't do it on purpose.
-Try contact lenses!

Get a shave!
You look like you just got out.

Yeah, thanks.

I don't think I'll make it
to the child care center.

I don't know why, but I knew it.

I really wanted to go, but I can't.

-Are you mad?
-No, but you said you'd go.

You're really mad.

-Never mind.
-I'll try.

No, never mind. I'll go.

I'll manage with Réda.
You don't care anyway.

Mr. Harchi?

Hello.

You thought it over?

I'm okay with it,
but I'm the one in charge.

I'm okay with it,
but I'm the one in charge.

And I get to see all your press releases.

-Okay?
-Okay.

Good.

Goodbye.

You say the legal system is lying?
That's great news.

The DA should have waited for the report.

He'd have looked impartial.

But that idiot Jasseron wanted to preen.

He hurriedly corroborated
the police version.

And that gives us a way in.

Covering for the police
is part of his job.

Making light
of the court's credibility isn't.

If the second report shows he was lying,

the scandal could reach
the Attorney General

and topple Jasseron.

Get rid of Jasseron, okay.

But what's the point of that?

You want an examining magistrate,
not a preliminary investigation.

You want an examining magistrate,
not a preliminary investigation.

-Know what a judge and a DA do?
-Yes...

Sorry, no.

DAs,

public prosecutors like Jasseron,
work for the Justice Department

and are linked to the police
as they supervise investigations.

Whereas judges and investigating
magistrates are independent.

They're in charge... in theory.

In theory, they can't be coerced.

No one can say, "Do this or that."

That'd be better for you.

See?

I was looking for that!

Here we are...

My brother was murdered by police.

-Is "murdered" okay?
-I don't know.

-Killed?
-Better.

"Killed by police."

"Killed by police."

The fit is a lie.

It's a lie by the DA...

It's a lie by the DA and the police,

supported by the Justice Department.

Relax.

The press needs us.

Concentrate on your chosen message.

-I'm Karim El Yadari's sister.
-No.

Uncross your legs.

-Karim El Yadari died on...
-Your hands.

Put your hands on your lap.

Good. That's it.

-And not so loud.
-Wait...

Maybe it pays for you to talk like them,
but let her be natural.

Authenticity doesn't work.
You have to work on truth.

Anger is noble.

-He can't smoke.
-We told him.

-It's recreational.
-Enough.

It let the authorities crack down
on people in the hood.

Funny, I didn't see you there back then.

Drugs landed you in the shit.

No, it's the lack
of political opportunities.

Let's avoid reproducing the same mistakes

and have your "recreational use"
checked when you leave here.

What? No one gets checked here, man.

I'm greeted politely.

The epileptic fit is a lie.

I say that, because we have photos
which prove that Karim was hit.

We know he was left

for hours...

Karim, Karim...

Guys in the projects
are treated like meat.

They can be stopped and beaten up.
When things go wrong,

the authorities talk about accidents,
"Sorry, it won't happen again."

Is Karim an exception?

No, we know he isn't.

We can all see things aren't working.

The legal system must stop all this

and give itself the means to act properly.

The investigation is flawed.

Only the truth can calm things down now.

We want an impartial second report
and an investigating magistrate.

Got all you need?

-Yes, it'll be online tomorrow.
-Thanks.

We can't get in.

Hang on.

Excuse me. Are you a journalist?

Uh, yes.

I'm Karim El Yadari's sister.

Oh, hello.

They won't let me in.

Can I borrow your press card?

I can't do that.
It has my name and photo on it.

They don't check women. What's the risk?

-I'm busy.
-What's your name?

Camille.

I have the file the prosecutor sent
to my previous lawyer. It's yours.

Thanks.

'Morning.

Thanks.

Is everyone ready?

This press briefing is
in the presence of the Préfet

and the head of regional public security.

First of all, this is just a declaration.

We won't be taking questions.

We strongly condemn

the violence that is affecting the area.

The damage amounts
to hundreds of thousands of euros.

The riots broke out after the death
of a young man known to the police.

He died after being
apprehended by a patrol.

He was displaying
very aggressive behavior.

The investigation

concludes

he died of a fit

due to drug use.
The police are not to blame.

You're a liar!

The police killed him.

He was covered in bruises.
He was left for hours. Get off!

He was covered in bruises.
He was left for hours. Get off!

Don't touch me!

I said, don't touch.

-The cops killed him. Shame on you.
-Get out.

It wasn't an accident.

If Karim attacked cops, who are they?

They're lying.
Jasseron is stalling the investigation

to hide the truth.

Goodbye, sweetie.

I'll call you from my mom's.

The second report has arrived.

Thanks to Malika, they're consistent.

Karim's thorax was crushed.

The cause of death is proved?

Legally, no.

They're saying that death by epilepsy
doesn't leave post-mortem marks.

But we know he died
of a trauma to his thorax. Period.

-And the toxicology report?
-Coming soon.

You'll write a good article?

That depends what you mean.

Should I spell it out?

Slimane...

You're not writing it?

I already wrote they were lying.

But they have a strong argument.

What're you talking about?

You saw what he had on him,
no weapons, no drugs.

No drug charges. Even the cops
who were "injured" have no medical leave.

No drug charges. Even the cops
who were "injured" have no medical leave.

Worst of all, the complaint against Karim
was filed two days after his death.

Legal proceedings are for the living.

Okay, I'll write it.

But I also want to do a portrait of Karim

to tell his story.

No.

He went down for robbery
when he was young,

he came out, and started again.

It won't tug at people's heartstrings.

And that's also why he died.

He paid for his mistakes.
I don't want him smeared in the press.

Okay.

-Ready?
-Ready.

Justice for Karim!

WHO PROTECTS US
FROM THE POLICE?

DEAD FOR NOTHING

NOT FORGOTTEN, NOT FORGIVEN

NOT FORGOTTEN, NOT FORGIVEN

People continue to mobilize
near Strasbourg

over the death of Karim El Yadari.

They have appealed for witnesses.
It's still not known exactly how he died.

What do you want? Want to finish eating?

He said no to a demonstration?

I'll call you back.

Little devil! He never eats that with me.

I'm not surprised. He likes his grandpa.

-Okay?
-Yeah, you?

Won't you talk to her?

Be right back.

Do you want to eat?

What's wrong? Well, what's wrong?

Okay, I'll leave you alone!

Okay, okay.

Did you stay out last night?
You look awful.

I've been drinking.

-Is that all?
-Yeah.

Don't bust my balls.

You gonna lecture me?

It was hard for me to stop.

I'm not like you and Mom.

You are, though.

You scared me! You really did!

Dad had a good idea.

Dad had a good idea.

-Dada.
-Yes, Dad had a good idea.

-It won't be enough.
-What?

The support fund.

Why not?

You can't keep working alone.

Yeah, it's getting tricky,
but I didn't dare tell you.

-Work with your uncle.
-No, it's not possible with him.

It's just not. What do you suggest?

Mind you don't fall.

Well...

we could call it a day and sell the stock.

Sell the business?

It's the only way.

Just till things settle down.

You want to sell?

All we did with our bare hands,
is that it?

Well, it's just until...

Until what? Without it,
we can't pay the rent.

-Just...
-What?

-Till it's over.
-When will it be over?

We're not shouting.

What's wrong? Look, I'll do it for you.

-I won't sell.
-You said you'd help.

Just the fact that you asked hurts me.

Come to Daddy. Put the toys in the buggy.

Who are you? Why are you here?

Karim gave me his key.

It's the first time I've come.

No, wait.

-Mr. Harchi...
-It's late.

You told us not to talk to witnesses.

-So we wouldn't be accused of...
-Obstruction.

What if I unwittingly spoke to a witness?

The harm is done. You can speak to them.

A witness?

Yes.

Her name's Nadia.

Karim's girlfriend.

She was with him the night he...

Wait! Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Please wait!

Wait!

You were together
every single day of your lives,

but you didn't see that Karim had a girl?

You didn't know?

No, we didn't.

Did you know?

We need you guys.

We gotta find her urgently.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

Why did she hide?

I guess it was unofficial.

She couldn't talk 'cause of the cops.

Gotta find her.

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE

Malika...

She did that portrait of Karim.

Really?

There's all his convictions.

-It doesn't matter.
-It does. How dumb.

-The damage can be limited.
-What'll people think?

-Hello.
-Don't you care?

Sorry, I forgot. I'm on my way.

Why do I have to keep chasing after you?

Why do I have to keep chasing after you?

Hello.

You forgot the overshoes.

-The what?
-The overshoes.

Give me a minute.

Come on.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello, Réda. How are you doing?

Okay, go ahead.

For the handover.

Okay.

When did he wake up?

-At around 6:30.
-Okay.

What did he eat?

Toast and a bottle.

It's your first time, right?

Any questions?

Such as?

About this place?

Or about Réda?

Is he doing okay?

Yes, he's doing just fine.

Ma'am.

Hi. Is Malika here?

No.

Sorry.

You're Hind's sister?

-Hind?
-Yes, I am.

We were at school together.

-Really?
-She stuck up for me.

Bye.

What's she doing now?

She's a history teacher.

History...

Come in.

Wait for her inside.

Wait for her inside.

Okay.

That portrait...

Karim wasn't just that.

Hey.

Sit down.

Ready?

You were together all evening?

Yes.

-He didn't assault the cops?
-No.

-He didn't have a weapon?
-No.

-He didn't have a weapon?
-No.

Any drugs?

No, none.

I was helping him quit,
so he never had any with me.

He invited me out for a meal that night.
We got home late.

When we were stopped, I wasn't scared.
I just didn't want them to spoil things.

-...my mom.
-Your cousin?

Well, my aunt.

Your cousin is our age, he'll understand.

No, he won't understand.

Imagine if he tells his mom...

'Evening.

ID check.

We're not doing anything.

Move back, miss.

We haven't done anything.

-Put your can down.
-Do it.

Put it down.

-Hurry up.
-Why?

Karim, give them your ID.

Get a move on.

Here.

Raise your arms.

Karim El Yadari, 9-18-1997.

-Take it easy.
-Easy, my ass.

-Take it easy.
-Easy, my ass.

-He's clean.
-I know him.

Empty your pockets.

And your bag. Come on.

-Take it easy.
-No, do as you're told.

You jerk!

Who do you think you are?

Get down on the ground!

Don't move!

Stop resisting. Don't move.

He didn't do anything!

Don't move!

Leave him alone! He didn't do anything!

Pin him down!

They kept him pinned down

till the police van arrived.

They were all on top of him.

Then, they left.

Our lawyer will contact you.

We can't talk to you from now on.

Not at all?

Well...

not before the trial. If there is one.

Karim often spoke about you.

He loved you a lot.

He hoped you'd let him come back
once he was clean.

Okay, well...

Bye.

He was just a guy from the hood.

You have to accept who he was.

What happens when...

your country which sent its soldiers
to your parents' country lectures you?

What happens in your head when...

you're born here, and your parents
dream of going back there?

You're left like a jerk because...

you can't build on that double void.

Our heads are all messed up.

Psychiatric hospitals
are full of our people.

Why are you looking at me like that?
You know it's true.

I've been a community activist for ages.

Know how kids look at me?

Like I'm a clown!

They're right.
It pisses me off, but they're right.

Because...

What did my generation leave them?

A world that's worse than before.

And the kids end up
all messed up in their heads.

Pleased to meet you.

Me too.

Nadia's testimony will support
the second report.

The public prosecutor has warned
Jasseron about his miscommunication.

That's not all.

The case is moving
to a different jurisdiction.

-Are they getting rid of the DA?
-Yep.

You've done really well.

Now we have the second report,
can we bury Karim?

Yes.

For fuck's sake...

Ask someone else to run your errands.

Ask who?

Yeah, who?

Huh? Who?

-Stop it.
-Who?

Nour, run the errands.
Get a glass of water. What the hell?

I'm 22, you know.

What?

Bring down the dictatorship?

You're still the youngest.

-Stop rebelling and keep quiet.
-Yeah.

You say nothing?

Did you get any drinks?
Driss, what do you want to drink?

No, leave her alone.

It's not cool. I'm on your side.

Are we really burying Karim?

For sure?

Yes.

Okay.

Stay in the car.

What's going on?

Leave us alone.

Move back.

Why are you taking him?

-Don't move!
-Let go of him!

-Get back!
-Leave him alone!

-What're you doing?
-I'll arrest you too!

You wanna press charges?

-You try!
-Just watch me!

Yo, Barack Obama!

-Hello.
-Let him through.

Driss will be tried immediately

for hitting a cop at your dad's.

Does that ring a bell?

-At the wake?
-I thought that was over.

The statute of limitations for violence
against an officer is six years.

-What does he risk?
-Jail time.

-What does he risk?
-Jail time.

What can we do?

Once it's started, nothing.

The court will have to try him.

To minimize the damage,
stop attacking them.

Stop attacking Jasseron?

Jasseron and the legal system.

Is that your advice?

I'm just telling you what leeway you have.

Wait a minute... What happens
if you stop attacking Jasseron?

You said we couldn't expect much
from legal proceedings?

A suspended or minimal sentence
for the cops.

It's not that simple.

It is that simple.

It is. If Driss does time,

he can no longer teach anywhere.

His life is ruined.

So, we have to help him.

It's up to you.
I'll defend him no matter what.

Meanwhile, here's the second report.

No epilepsy, no drugs.

No epilepsy, no drugs.

It confirms what we knew.

There are the autopsy photos.

I wouldn't look at them.

It's your call, Malika,
if we carry on or not.

She decides and you go down?
Are things that insane?

What'll we tell the activists
if we quit now?

You owe 'em nothing!

We owe them everything.

There'll be other Karims.

What about us?

They'll destroy you.

Have you considered the risks?

I mean, a conviction...

won't just go away.

I've made up my mind.

Let 'em charge me.

Screw 'em!

Fuck's sake!

You pain in the fuckin' ass!

We'll sell.

Hervé is interested.

You can calmly tell me that?

Do I look calm?

Estelle's right,
this will never be over. Never.

Have you thought about your son?

One day, he might get killed.

-No, that makes no sense.
-Really?

You want it on your mind every day?

It's already on my mind.

The business is in joint ownership.
I refuse to sell.

-We're broke.
-It's okay.

It's okay? Is it really?

It's over, do you understand?

The market's over.

The market's over.

I'm done.

-You won't go back?
-No.

Okay.

You want to sell...

sell. I quit.

Are you all right?

'Night.

They have to pay...

They have to pay.

They have to pay!

Think it worked?

Did it protect you?

I was supposed to protect you.

I'm not sure it worked.

-Okay?
-The journalists are here.

Okay, thanks.

We told you not to print it.

We told you not to print it.

Tell them I'm coming.

Do you write for yourself?

-Why write that?
-Okay.

It's all right.

-You want me to go?
-No, it's okay.

We have nothing left to hide.

Hello.

Driss's arrest is retaliation
when the experts

confirm the prosecutor's lies
and we can at last bury Karim.

We won't give in.

We want Jasseron removed.
We'll demonstrate at Driss's trial.

Are you okay?

Your brother has a phone.

He'll call to hear the prayer.

How's it going?

I don't know.

Amen.

INVESTIGATING MAGISTRATE

Your brother's case

was referred to me.

As plaintiffs, you can ask
for an investigation

and raise procedural irregularities.
Your witness

will be heard by a different department.

Then, I'll take over.

What is the charge?

Manslaughter.

Your Honor, my clients met
the sole witness quite unexpectedly.

-You're worried about witness tampering?
-We didn't.

Noted.

Will the pre-trial investigation
take long?

I have a 12-month deadline,

but with the new expert reports,
the letters rogatory,

files being sent back and forth,

the appeals...

How long?

A long time.

A long time.

Ladies, I'll make sure

it's taken very seriously.

I'll go all the way,
but that's all I can guarantee.

Thank you.

But the court mustn't be affected
by the turmoil around the case.

Meaning?

Don't raise hell in my court.

We couldn't even say he was killed.

You're the first to say "manslaughter."
We thank you.

But, so far, we've gotten nothing
by being docile.

Mr. El Yadari is sentenced
to 24 months in prison,

six of which are suspended.

Justice for Karim!

Shame on you!

We don't forget, we don't forgive!

Let me see him!

Malika!

The journalists are up here.

I can't move.

Now what?

You do it, Nour.

Are you sure?

I'm not afraid.

Karim was killed for no reason
while with his girlfriend.

Will they protect the police
rather than the law?

How long will they dismiss cases?

We want justice.

If they won't give it to us,
we'll take it.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday to you

Hey, give me that!

Happy Birthday, dear Karim

Happy Birthday to you

-Make a wish.
-Okay.

Happy Birthday.

What'll you do now?

-Leave him alone.
-I'm only asking.

Nour, let's make a video.

One, two, three...

The El Yadaris' story is fiction.

But it is based on the real struggles
of many families.

HOW MANY NAHELS
WEREN'T CAUGHT ON FILM?
