Original subtitles

- Why am I here? - Too many sleeping pills.

Monique put six Clonazepam in your drink.

Is she crazy?

I thought we weren't talking.

The idea was to change that.

No, Pat. Can you put up with my kid?

I'd like to press charges against my mother.

That means there will be a trial?

Unless Ms. Brodeur changes her mind,

there's a good chance, yes.

I felt guilty for not telling you about your 13-month-old son.

She might be making it up for the money!

You were supposed to be faithful!

Now I have to take a paternity test.

I predict we'll go home together.

I don't need someone like you in my life right now.

I don't think it's fair to the communications graduates

to hire someone who isn't qualified.

Why are you working here if writing is your passion?

I wrote this.

- Nobody's read it yet? - You'd be the first.

Your mother asked me to come celebrate the big day.

It's not my birthday. My mother stopped by my office,

and I'd like to file a restraining order against her.

My daughter stole $1,000 from me.

I came to file a complaint for theft against Anna Brodeur.

- Are you reading? - No!

I felt like starting, but it's too late.

I want to give it my undivided attention.

It's a tearjerker, you'll see.

I'm really proud of the finale...

and the rest too!

But I don't want to spoil it.

I can't wait to read it.

You wanted to talk to me?

I'm already thinking about the second episode,

the ideas keep coming!

But since you haven't read it yet, I'll wait

for your comments before starting the second episode.

Absolutely.

The first episode sets the tone

and establishes the storyline.

Since you haven't started yet,

should I send you the new version?

- There's a new version? - I made some changes.

Big changes?

No, just tiny things.

But you might as well have the most recent version!

Of course.

You haven't read a thing?

I glanced at the first two pages

because I was curious...

What did you think of the tone?

Two pages isn't enough say!

I'll print it out at work tomorrow.

Take all the time you need!

I will.

Well, maybe not all the time.

Whenever you're ready.

Oh, my God...

- Another drink? - No, thanks.

Kimi's going to stay out of jail tonight.

Hey! You didn't tell me about the police complaint.

Oh, it was rejected. It's for the best.

Are you being ironic?

Not at all. It was immature and vindictive.

My daughter's alive.

Nothing should stop me from telling her I love her.

What about the restraining order?

I want to make peace. Now.

Monique, give her time to cool off.

You don't want to get into trouble with the law.

I have a plan.

Monique Brodeur...

But I'll need a few things...

Yes...

Like that, yeah...

Keep going...

Yes, yes, yes!

ANNA COMES HOME

MOLOTOV COCKTAILS EPISODE 1 BY ANNA BRODEUR

Will you be long?

No, I'm almost done.

Mia, can we talk?

Sure. What's up?

I've thought a lot about what you said, and you're right.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Patrick.

I know some people would love to be in my place.

I realize it's an immense privilege,

and I want to prove I'm up to the challenge.

In fact, I just ordered

Public Relations Strategies and Tactics

by Dennis L. Wilcox and Glen T. Cameron. Do you...?

If I'd known, I'd have lent you my copy.

I can tell you don't trust me, and...

I won't invalidate your feelings,

but once I've said my piece, I move on.

Then give me a chance.

If I fail, you can call me incompetent.

I promise you won't see my mother at the office again.

That's a start.

- Maybe we could grab a drink? - Great!

Patrick already assigned you an account?

No, it's a personal project.

But before you say it's unethical

to print personal documents at work, Patrick's aware.

It's something I wrote, and he's giving me notes.

The friendship continues...

MOLOTOV COCKTAILS EPISODE 1 BY ANNA BRODEUR

Ready for the quiz?

Well, I studied.

It contains 65 questions

measuring your knowledge of our accounts, clients,

and crisis management plan,

as well as the billing and clerical procedures.

Right!

Good luck, Anna!

Can you picture me in a fucking family restaurant?

It was like a sitcom!

You acted on your feelings towards Étienne

while respecting your excessive need for control.

Bravo!

Is the word "excessive" always necessary?

How'd it go with Téo?

He ordered eight ketchups,

three coleslaws, and didn't eat one.

He stole our fries and took eight crayon boxes.

The server was a saint!

- He's a kid. - He's a monster!

So you didn't like Étienne's discipline?

I don't know, I didn't see any!

Imagine the spoiled child of a spoiled child.

What could you have said to be true to yourself?

"Shut up, you brat"?

Think of your feelings, Patrick.

No!

I can't believe I thought it might work.

In that case, you know what you have to do.

I'll tell him.

Do you need tools?

No, I'm OK.

Before I go, I wanted to talk about something else.

I told you that Anna was a screenwriter?

Well, she's written a new project

and she asked me to read it.

She must trust you.

Yeah. Problem is, I've never read anything so bad.

It's based on her relationship with her mother,

but since they're both insufferable,

the whole thing is insufferable!

OK, but can't you find one or two positive things to say?

Something good?

OK. The paper could make an excellent bonfire.

You have a big week ahead of you.

DNA QUEBEC RESULTS CONFIRM YOU ARE THE CHILD'S BIOLOGICAL FATHER,

WITH A 99.9% DEGREE OF CERTAINTY

Yeah, babe. I'm leaving in four minutes.

See you soon.

I thought I'd relaxed you.

Bad news, or...?

Just life.

I didn't tell my boyfriend I saw you again.

I don't need to know.

According to our deal,

we can't see the same person twice.

Want to know why I made an exception?

You're the first guy who's made me doubt things.

That's very flattering, Adèle,

but it was only twice, and I'm not there right now.

I'm dealing with an emergency...

Look. Relax.

I'm a big girl, and I don't need reassurance.

OK? - OK.

Good.

- See you soon, big boy! - See you.

Daphnée Reid, visual artist,

born in Gatineau on December 28, 1995.

A Capricorn who splits her time between London and Montreal.

Exhibitions in the past five years?

Hang on a sec...

Cell phones are prohibited during the quiz.

What if we were competing at nationals?

Since we're not, I think it's fine.

I don't agree with you.

I'm checking my email. What's the big deal?

No, no, no, no... Zach?

Zach? - Everything OK, Zach?

Zach? Can we talk?

Wait 30 minutes before you apologize.

Ms. Brodeur?

I'm here to see Anna.

Anna?

What are you doing here?

You're not allowed to be here!

Get out or I'm calling the police!

- Listen. - No!

I came to make peace, and I won't leave until I do.

Tell that to the judge in court!

Until then, there's the door.

Even if you hate me, I'll always be here for you.

I want to hold you in my arms and sleep side by side...

We've never slept side by side!

I'm giving you four minutes to get out.

Not only are you embarrassing me,

but you're bothering everyone.

This is an office, not your stage!

I won't leave until we reconcile.

Three minutes!

You leave me no choice!

I'm very sorry to disturb you.

99.9% is tough to argue with.

What are you thinking?

I should've kept my dick in my jeans!

Agreed.

But it seems like he's yours.

What're you going to do?

Do I want to be a dad at my age?

Good question! Do you?

Goddammit!

I was sure she was after the money, but 99.9%!

Take the time to think about it.

Listen to your heart, eh?

My heart?

I don't think it knows what it wants.

I get it. It's your call.

If you want my opinion, be cool with Jessie.

Excuse me. Hello?

- I can't work with Anna.

She has no professional ethics.

Zach?

In the workplace, you have

to resolve conflicts with your colleagues...

- You asked me to help her. - Try talking to her.

If it doesn't work, I'll take care of it.

OK.

I'll talk, but I'm not coming out.

OK!

I didn't mean to insult you, Zach.

I'm having a hard time,

which is probably why I lacked tact

and patience.

It was shitty of me.

I'm truly sorry.

Don't apologize. You should say "forgive me."

Oh, uh...

Forgive me.

Can I give you an air hug?

Of course.

Like this?

- Hey! - Hey!

My man!

Back on track?

We had an excellent discussion.

We should continue our professional collaboration.

That's great news.

Don't tell me Anna gave you a hard time?

No...

We had a slight miscommunication.

I'll meet you inside, OK?

What happened?

Well... He freaked out

because I checked my email for a second during the quiz.

You know he's on the spectrum?

I know, Antoine.

But I didn't get the memo

about doing things exactly the way he wants.

Now that you know, are we done with drama for the day?

Speaking of drama, Monique stopped by.

- Huh? - But it's all under control.

Trust me.

No, no, no, no... You can't do this!

Take those off this instant!

What's going on?

I came to make peace, and I won't leave until I do.

Crazy bitch.

Monique, this is an office,

not a place to resolve personal problems.

Anna was ignoring my calls.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

You're not allowed to be here!

Monique, the key. Now!

Are you crazy and deaf?

Antoine, go make yourself a coffee. Go!

For the last time: the key! We see clients in here!

Alas...

I just want to have a civil,

honest conversation with my daughter.

I'll drag you out if I have to.

- Cut off my hands. - Don't give me ideas!

I've had enough of your theatrics.

You're being ridiculous!

You don't think I'm here for the right reasons?

I'm publicly humiliating myself

so we can find common ground.

You won't give me the key? Fine.

I'll get it! - You can't do that!

You need her consent.

She's not allowed to be here!

Who cares? She's here now, so talk it out.

The police signed a restraining order,

with good reason.

The police aren't known

for peaceful conflict resolution.

Yeah... "I think with my muscles."

I'm giving you both five seconds.

I'm ready!

- Anna? - No way!

For someone who wants to work in crisis management...

You were the one who said her presence

was totally inappropriate!

Adaptability is important.

Why won't you reconcile? What are you afraid of?

What about my consent?

She drugged me unknowingly!

You can't possibly condone that. - Momo...

I've been apologizing for hours.

We should encourage social rehabilitation, no?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! What more do you want?

- Anna, what more do you want? - A little sincerity?

What if this were you?

It's easy to have an opinion when it's not your life.

I agree. Since you're at an impasse, I think the police

need to know Elizabeth Taylor violated her conditions.

- Yes! - I just want to make peace!

- No, you want to win! - Anna, in my office.

- Wow. - You rock, Momo.

So, who's calling Officer Hébert?

I can if it'll prevent future emotional outbursts.

That's the last time I see you act like that.

What? I wasn't even emotional!

Enough! Who cares? This needs to be resolved.

Now!

OK, I'll call him. But I'm warning you:

this won't be the last of Elizabeth Taylor.

Then what do you suggest?

Fuck! This is what she wants.

To be dragged out of here!

I'm pretty sure I heard the words "make peace".

Yes, but she's a professional liar! It's obvious!

She wants to tell the judge she tried to reconcile,

but that I'm the raving lunatic.

- So the plan is to do nothing? - Exactly.

- For how long? - As long as it takes.

I'm not leaving her tied to my desk for a week!

She'll leave if she loses her spectators.

I bet she'll leave at 4 p.m. if we ignore her.

Plus, she'll have to pee at some point.

You know I wouldn't do this for any other employee?

That's why I love you.

OK, everyone! Back to work!

That means stop looking at me like a deer in headlights.

- What about Monique? - She's free to go.

We've got work to do, so let's focus on that.

Antoine, I'm all yours.

Zach? Shall we?

Oh...

Momo... Momo... Come here.

I can throw her out with the table if you want.

- Let's get back to your son. - Yes.

Do you have what it takes to raise a kid?

The patience? The love?

If the answer is yes, your life will never be the same.

Plus, having a kid at 49 isn't like having one at 28.

I know.

But I have to think of Rachel too.

I thought she wanted nothing to do with you.

That was her anger talking.

OK, I'm bad at love,

but I can get better. I'm not dead yet.

Are you planning to tell her about the 99.9% result?

It's important.

You're right, I'll tell her.

Look, I'm ready to assume financial responsibility.

It'll help Jessie out, though she didn't ask.

And I'll make things right with Rachel.

It sounds like a good plan,

but did you forget that she changed the locks?

But if I don't do anything, that'll prove I don't love her.

I have to fight, don't I?

Sorry, but you need to see GossipWorld right now.

GossipWorld?

- You were supposed to be faithful!

Fuck!

What's going on?

Being the generous man he is, he made his masseuse a baby.

- Why promise if you don't keep your word?

How could you be so immature and self-centered?

TOUGH TIMES FOR ANTOINE GIRARD

How could I have loved you?

I'm sorry. - I don't want to hear it!

It was my goddamn neighbour!

OK, call the lawyer and tell him we want it taken down!

I'll sue if I have to!

What? - We can do that.

We can stir the shit

and make GossipWorld take town the video. We'll win.

But you know there are hundreds of copies out there already.

Pat, nobody can film me without my consent!

You're right, but they did.

So if you don't want to lose your talk show...

What are you talking about?

That's got nothing to do with this!

Not yet, but the video isn't very flattering.

You're paying me, so you might as well listen for once!

OK. I'm listening.

Get a replacement host tonight.

Say you're having personal issues.

Might as well write a big red "guilty" on my forehead!

Is the video a fake?

Are you not the one in it?

Sure, but it's not like I killed anyone!

If you record the talk show,

the broadcaster will be happy

because public curiosity will boost your ratings.

But everyone'll be watching,

and you can bet Bazin will criticize your ability to joke

while your wife's dealing with your adultery

and illegitimate child.

And she won't be the only one.

It'll be everywhere.

But if you want to do it your way, let's go.

So I take time off?

Radio silence. For as long as it takes.

You OK, Antoine?

How's the masseuse?

- Massage therapist! - Oh...

ÉTIENNE

- Bye! - Bye!

- Are you ready? - Yes! I'm hungry.

Alex?

I'll lock up.

- Bye, Alex! - Bye, Anna!

Bye, Zach!

Sushi?

Yes!

You can't sleep here, Momo.

Patrick'll have a heart attack if you're still here tomorrow.

He's so stiff.

It's like he was born with a stick up his... you know.

He's not that bad.

He could've kicked you out ages ago.

You're generous.

My surprise of the day:

you're a generation to watch.

Planning to spend the week?

Perseverance pays off.

Ah! I love it.

I have to get going.

You sure you want to stay here alone?

You're such a sweetheart.

Thanks, doll.

I try, but...

But what?

Since I'm already drunk...

Cheers!

If only my crush would say the same thing.

Kitten, we have all the time in the world.

What type of man is he?

OK.

Late 40s, a professional.

Owns his own company.

Cute, but not hot.

It's the personality that counts.

- Girl, exactly! - I know.

Are you talking about someone we know?

Someone a little stiff?

Who has a stick up his ass?

I was exaggerating!

I know he's generous.

He likes younger men,

but his boyfriend is my complete opposite.

But, does working with him...

It's not stopping me from seeing other guys.

Don't worry, Momo.

Did you tell him how you feel?

No!

No. You can't tell a soul.

I have many faults, but I know how to keep a secret.

My lips are sealed.

Anna doesn't know how lucky she is.

That's sweet of you.

- Momo... - Oh, you're...

It's going to fine.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

let's give it up for Antoine Girard!

Thank you, thank you!

OK...

Hello! Hello!

Would you believe the day I've just had?

Incredible!

Have you ever tried to call Revenu Canada?

After spending 236 minutes on hold,

since I didn't know the exact amount on line 117

of last year's tax return,

Mr. Lavallée politely declined to help me

because he wanted to protect my privacy.

You want to protect my privacy?

Don't you know who I am?

There's a video of me going around on the web!

We could watch it together, Mr. Lavallée.

My name is Antoine Girard

and I'm the guy who was filmed by a neighbour

who so desperately needs a life, he decided to film mine!

Wow!

Have you ever been filmed like that?

Ever seen your business splashed all over the media?

While you're having a hard time?

When you're vulnerable?

Fuck you, motherfucker!

- It's not fun!

Damn it!

MOLOTOV COCKTAILS

EPISODE 2

SANDRINE YOU'RE THE POISON THAT HAS NO ANTIDOTE.

AND YOU'LL HEAR ME OUT. FOR ONCE.

There's more than just your version.

THERE'S MORE THAN JUST YOUR VERSION.

CHANTALE666 "I'D CUT OFF HIS BALLS, THE BASTARD."

JOJO69 "ANTOINE GIRARD'S TRASH!"

TI-MINOU "WHAT AN IDIOT."

AND IT BEGINS... ;-)

- Did you watch

Antoine Girard's opening number last night?

He's having a hard time? Really?

What planet are you on?

You should be ashamed of yourself. Your poor wife!

How can you be so disconnected from reality?

I'd make a heartfelt apology to the camera:

"I'm a self-centered, immature pig

who should've kept his zipper shut tight,

and I'm begging your forgiveness!"

Shit...

So...

I saw hurricane Antoine.

It's going to be a long day.

Which is why I hope your strategy worked.

Your mother better be gone.

She will be.

I couldn't sleep either, but I was productive:

I started the second episode!

Already? I thought you were waiting for my comments.

With a muse like Monique,

I wrote 22 pages in one go.

I've never done that! - Wow!

It's crazy, all the times I sat in front

of a blank screen... Now I'm really on a roll.

No pressure, obviously,

but I put the new version on your desk.

I saw it, yeah.

Take your time!

I started reading last night.

Oh yeah? And?

First off... congrats on the new project.

I know how hard it is.

Right away, you can hear the change in tone.

Right? I'm glad you picked up on that.

Did you like it?

It's definitely interesting!

Interesting is better than boring!

What did you think of the characters?

The title works.

They're explosive, that's for sure.

I love the names.

Françoise, Sandrine. Monique, Anna.

You caught the transposition?

Yes, of course.

How far did you get?

About a dozen pages in.

You'd tell me if it was crap?

Sorry. I have to take this.

Mm-hm. Yes.

Go ahead. - Thanks.

- Hey, beautiful!

Hey! You too...

- I thought you'd call, but I saw Antoine's video.

You must be dealing with it now?

That's right.

- You're so cute when you make that face.

What face?

Like a guy who's stressed and just woke up.

A little unsure of himself.

Oh, yeah? Funny, I...

I have something to tell you.

You've got a new fan!

Who? - Téo!

He adores you.

He keeps saying,

"I like how he dresses, I like how he talks..."

He loves your funny faces.

My funny faces?

Those big, shocked eyes.

Anything else I do unknowingly?

You give head like a porn star.

What? OK...

Étienne, I need to...

Hang on, one more thing.

He keeps asking when he can see his new papa again.

Papa Patrick gives head like a porn star!

- He said that? - Yeah.

He wants to see you this weekend. Are you around?

That'd be nice.

Cool! Hey, I love you.

Uh... me too.

That's a new kind of breakup:

the one where you stay with the person you left.

I wanted to end it! With every bone in my body!

But when he looks at me, I'm like...

Aw! You're in love!

- I am? - Of course.

See?

Oh, I see. I see that it didn't work!

- Huh? - Come with me.

Monique Brodeur, wake up!

Excuse me, it was more comfortable here.

I don't care! I've had enough!

No one leaves until you've cleared the air, understood?

Huh? Pat? Pat Bernier, you can't do this to me!

Goodbye!

I didn't say anything!

It was the crazy bastard next door, I know it!

Is that what's bothering you?

Now everyone knows who you really are?

No, what's bothering me is that I hurt you.

That I messed up.

You betrayed on me, Antoine. And when that happens...

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...

Look, I'll go to therapy to save our relationship.

I sent the video to GossipWorld.

Huh?

I'm glad you're suffering.

I want it to hurt.

So you finally realize

that the world doesn't revolve around you.

I get it, OK? You're angry...

I never want to talk to you again.

I never want to see you.

The night you were "thinking about things"...

The divorce'll cost you, bastard!

I'm sorry, Anna.

Don't apologize.

You should say "forgive me".

Forgive me.

I shouldn't have drugged you.

I should've listened and held you in my arms

and embrace your pain.

I should've been the mother you needed.

When I had you at 16, I wasn't equipped.

Nobody wanted me to keep you.

- And you didn't listen. - Like usual.

It's not an excuse,

but I struggled because my own mother abandoned me.

When you were born, I held you

and swore not to be like her,

but I didn't know how.

But I never regretted keeping you.

If you're lying, the apology doesn't count.

OK.

I thought about it a few times, but mostly...

I loved you.

Anna...

what if I asked to go to mother-daughter therapy?

What if I said yes?

That would be great!

You could withdraw the charges and--

Eliminating the conditions would be a good start,

don't you think?

OK. I want to improve our relationship.

OK. But the therapist has to be a woman.

So you don't fall in love and we don't waste our time.

You know I've had experiences with other women?

OK, a woman.

And you pay, because I'm broke.

I'll empty my retirement account.

OK.

MOLOTOV COCKTAILS EPISODE 1 BY ANNA BRODEUR

I couldn't help it. I read it last night.

It's so good.

I loved it!

The mother-daughter relationship is so intense, it sucks you in.

I had goosebumps!

You're not just saying that because...?

I swear. I was gutted.

The mother...

That an incredible character!

It's about a toxic relationship

between a mother and her daughter...

It's epic! Shakespearean!

What did you think of the tone?

It's my first foray into drama.

It's mature. Sophisticated.

I know I should've asked permission to read it first.

I'll withdraw the charges.

We'll both get help

so we can start over again.

What do you think?

Absolutely!

And you?

Is there anything you'd like to correct?

- Not really. - Nothing at all?

Nothing comes to mind.

What about disappearing for 10 years without a word?

No email, no call.

Not even to say: "I'm alive, don't worry."

You're right.

I could've called.

Yes.

I'm sor...

Forgive me.

Come here...

Come here.

That's enough! Everyone back to work!

My favourite reference books.

Wow! I can borrow them?

We can discuss once you've read them.

I'll devour them.

You might learn some tricks to help with your mother.

I can understand the attachment.

In every sense.

Thanks for your patience, I appreciate it!

I can't be long, my mother's with him downstairs.

Here.

This should cover the first year.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I was thinking of moving.

It's very generous.

Good, that's the idea.

So...

what if I wanted to see him?

What do you mean?

You want to see my son?

According to the DNA test, he's our son,

hence the cheque. Right?

So if I wanted to officially see him?

If we tell him you're his father...

Then why'd you say anything in the first place?

I'll be honest...

I saw your show last night, the video with Rachel.

Seeing you shout like that...

Nobody should've seen that! It's my personal business.

I don't want my son to suffer because you're famous.

He needs a normal life.

So I write you a cheque, thanks, bye?

It's generous, but you can't buy me off.

Are you saying I'll never get to know him?

I'm saying I'll think about it.

You have to respect my decision.

Fuck!

Can you believe Monique read my script?

she loved it!

If she's trying to be the world's greatest mom,

she'll say anything to please you.

Why would you say that?

Because my script sucks?

I read the pilot. The whole thing.

I'm sorry, but it's not very good.

But you said it was interesting!

I didn't want to hurt you.

OK, so what do you think?

I don't think you're in the right head space to write.

You lack perspective.

You just lost your partner,

you're returning after 10 years away!

It's good to put it on paper.

I think it's a cathartic exercise,

but in terms of audience...

A cathartic exercise?

Wow!

From protecting me to that...

Anna, it's a mother and daughter

trading insults for 52 pages. You don't see that?

So it sucks?

I'm saying I don't feel comfortable

referring you to the producers I know.

Or any producer.

So Monique's the one who's lying?

I think she wants you to withdraw the charges.

- Are you serious? - It's your call.

If you're desperate enough to believe her...

Coming from a guy who can't dump the boyfriend

who says he gives good head!

You asked my honest opinion.

I'm giving it to you!

Maybe you're selfish!

Maybe you think I have potential

and want to keep me at the agency because... because!

Right now, your potential's the best kept secret in town.

You gave me the job!

You said I had what it takes!

Yeah, but I didn't think you'd be a full-time job!

Since you came home, my life's been chaos.

Chaos?

Fuck you, Patrick Bernier!

I'm putting you up, feeding you, and paying you.

Then I have to deal with the Monique Show

and read your script a dozen times

to find something good to say!

Or I'm comforting my employees because you made them cry!

So, yes! My life's been chaos for the past two weeks!

Allow me to doubt the judgment of a guy

who can't making a goddamn decision

without asking his shrink!

Fuck you, Anna!

Fuck you! Forever!

Anna?

Can I sleep here?

Tonight?

Yes, tonight. Can I, or...?

Of course. Come in! I'll take care of you.

Can I get you something to drink?

Nothing but alcohol...

I swear on Renaud's grave.

So Patrick gave an extremely delicate account

to a former screenwriter and ex-French teacher

with no experience in public relations?

Under his supervision, of course!

I'll call you back.
