Original subtitles

I heard that with the right matches,

a Mercedes burns like that.

I'm not a psychopath.

What kind of crazy person destroys someone else's car?

You're not crazy.

I might've told her to drop Téo off at your office?

Holy fucking hell!

What if I asked you to go to mother-daughter therapy?

We'll get help.

- How could I forget? - Don't I look handsome?

Shut your trap and thank Céleste

for driving you to the crisis centre!

You know my friend Kristof,

the guy who kissed me back there?

Are you going to tell Dad?

- You who never wanted kids! - That's not true!

It's not my fault the treatment didn't work.

You feel for the ex who was so nice,

you fled to another continent.

Calm down! I'm not making excuses.

I'm just saying I understand him.

Can you drop by the hotel and pick up some clothes?

- You and me are forever.

I love you, ma petite Québécoise.

If I asked you to have a drink with me...

- Do you do this a lot?

Ask victims who press charges to have a drink?

- Can you stay a little longer? - I really have to go.

Oh!

Sorry, big day at the office.

Not a problem.

We still have four minutes to savour together.

You know we're going to therapy?

I doubt it'll be a bed of roses in there.

I'm ready for anything.

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT LAST NIGHT? ;-)

Work? - No.

Antoine's at the crisis centre,

not doing what he's supposed to. Like usual.

Why does that bother you?

Because I have blood in my veins?

It's called being alive.

Did you sleep together?

Oh, please!

What do you think, I haven't learned anything?

Tell him to call Patrick,

instead of playing with your blood pressure.

You're right.

Anna and Monique Brodeur?

Your new duo, in the flesh!

Welcome.

She pressed charges against me.

Because she drugged me.

I wanted to spare her the grief and get her to relax.

It wasn't a conventional strategy,

but I've learned my lesson.

Believe me, I've heard it all.

Long live safe places!

Anna, you seem fragile.

- She is. - Yes.

What's going on?

I'm sad...

She lost her partner.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I think she slept with her ex.

ANNA COMES HOME

I have a thousand other stories,

but I think you can understand

why I pressed charges against my mother.

And what do you say to that?

There's no use denying that as a mother, I was toxic.

And absent.

Negligent, overbearing, emotionally unstable,

critical, competitive, and dangerous.

I'm sorry, sweetie. Mea culpa.

Perdoname. Entschuldige.

See? She speaks four languages.

Because she feels it's essential

to communicate with other cultures

that have so much to teach us. - That's right.

Didn't feel like apologizing in Inuktitut?

I wanted to make you smile, but I failed. Once again.

Like usual. Despite my best efforts.

There's the knot in my throat.

What do you feel when you hear your mother ask forgiveness?

- Right now? - Yes.

Nothing.

It's not the first time she's told me what I want to hear.

Actions speak louder than words?

Exactly! I have to reprogram 46 years of my life.

That's not going to happen overnight.

Anna, do you want your relationship to improve?

Of course. I wouldn't be here otherwise.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

I'd like to know

your expectations for our time together.

I'm happy with the way things went today.

I felt respected. It's a good start.

What did you think?

Good! Very good!

But if I may... won't it get a tad repetitive?

Anna vents. I vent.

That's a lot of venting, no? - See?

I spoke for, what, 45 minutes max?

And it's already too much for her.

I'm sorry! I want to listen,

but at $200 a pop, at our ages, we get the idea, no?

I was awful, you were perfect.

Stop! I never said that!

I hope not, because after disappearing for 10 years,

you don't exactly win the Oscar for Best Daughter!

I already admitted it wasn't my best move.

My God! I get why Dad left you.

- The coward. - A saint.

Ladies, before our next session,

I'm going to give you homework.

I want you to spend time together.

At least 90 minutes.

And what do we do during this exercise in torture?

Whatever you want.

Except talk about the past.

By "the past," do you mean topics

such as the fall of the Byzantine Empire,

which marked the end

of a 1,000-year chapter of European history?

Or is it in the sense of--

Your shared past with Anna.

OK, got it. That past.

Do we have to talk?

You can do an activity together.

But in the interest of our time together,

it's best if you say more than a few syllables.

What are you still doing here?

Trying to take my mind off things.

They're keeping Bradley at the hospital.

Huh? I didn't know you had a boyfriend. What's wrong?

No, it's my cat. Bradley Cooper.

Ohhh, your cat.

What's wrong with Bradley?

They're still running tests.

He's vomiting, he's not eating...

He's not even five! If he dies...

No, no... The vets will save him.

They studied years for this kind of thing.

I hope so.

I'm pulling for Bradley.

If you want to get the first exercise over with,

we could grab dinner?

I already have plans.

An important meal with Patrick,

who you live and work with?

- No! - No.

- I have a date. - Oh...

My first one since Renaud.

Which you encouraged me to do.

Not with Antoine, I hope?

I have many flaws, but I still have my sanity.

Well, that's not part of our past.

So, what's his name? Where did you meet him?

If it goes well, I'll tell you more.

So you haven't slept with him?

No. These days,

I try to get to know a person first.

But living in the moment isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'll let you plan the first 90 minutes of the activity?

OK. Any restrictions?

As long as my life's not in danger, you have carte blanche.

- Excellent! - Great!

Don't even think of following me!

- Hey! - Oh!

What's the occasion?

It's our six month anniversary.

You're counting from the beginning?

Uh, yes...

Oh, I thought we'd start counting after Téo.

We can, but I already bought the wine!

Cheers! - Wow! Thanks.

Speaking of Téo,

did he tell you about the day he spent with me?

- No, but he loves the outfit. - It's cute, right?

Less cute with all the dry cleaning bills, but...

- Cheers! - Cheers!

What is it?

What? Nothing.

I need to tell you something.

That day at the agency...

Téo saw me kissing Kristof.

Oh! He told me.

You didn't say anything?

I figured if it was important, you'd tell me.

Is it? - No!

He kind of threw himself at me, to be honest.

Like an assault?

- No! - OK.

There was nothing #metoo about it.

Just a misunderstanding. The wrong signals.

Téo said he was ugly. Is he?

He's, uh... normal looking.

Press secretary... mayor...

Whoa!

Well done, baby!

Come on.

Would you like another?

No, thanks. I'll wait.

The reservation was for 7 p.m., right?

- That's what Mr. Hébert said. - OK.

Hey! Miss Brodeur.

OK, what are we playing at?

An eye for an eye?

I figured that if you talked to me after this,

you had a good sense of humour.

Do I sense an unhealthy obsession with vengeance?

Leaving me all alone at the restaurant?

A tiny one. But I'm here now.

Was it your pride that allowed you

to look up my address on your police computer?

I'm not sure that's legal.

You can file a complaint, or you can invite me in.

I'll show you I know my way around in a kitchen.

I don't live alone.

Your "husband" said they wouldn't leave the bedroom.

I can't imagine a more absurd moment.

Will you invite me in?

How do you know I didn't already eat?

Eating all alone is sad, no?

I'm an independent woman.

Fair enough.

So, I screwed up?

You OK? - Yes, sorry.

If you want, I can just make you dinner.

No, it's just

that you're my first new body

in a while.

Good to know.

Hang on, it's not working.

Hey, it's not the end of the world.

Do you know many guys who can't keep an erection?

We had competition down the hall...

I'm 46, focus isn't the issue.

Stop freaking out and cuddle me.

Cuddling isn't going to help anything.

See?

I'm a little stressed.

Maybe focusing

on my erection would help you to focus?

Oh, right, because you...

It's not my fault you like younger men.

Stop! I'm not about to take Viagra at my age!

Hello?

How was your date?

You woke me up! What time is it?

7 a.m. Are you going to see him again?

Is there an emergency?

I texted you the address of our activity.

7 p.m. tonight. OK?

- OK, see you later. - Oh, and--

What a nice surprise

to wake up here.

Was I supposed to send you home at 4 a.m.?

- It's happened before. - Oh?

So, the next time my number pops up on your phone,

there's a good chance it won't go to voicemail?

A pretty good chance.

How much is the test?

$200!

I can't do math right now,

but with the endoscopy, I'm looking at over $5,000?

No, I don't have to think about it. Do everything you can.

Yes. Thanks.

They'll figure it out.

What's going on? Bradley isn't--

No.

But if you know anyone who needs a kidney...

Oh, sweetie...

- You've reached Robin Tauziat Miller.

Leave me your name and number,

and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi Robin, this is Patrick Bernier.

I'm not feeling great,

so I have to cancel our appointment.

I know it's less than 24 hours' notice,

but I'll pay you in full next time.

Again, I'm really sorry. See you next time. Bye!

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but are you sick?

Ask me why I don't want to see Robin?

OK, why not?

Kristof kissed me in the agency bathroom.

Oh! Were you hitting on him?

No! And last night, while I was with Étienne,

I couldn't stop thinking of Kristof and I lost my erection.

Fuck!

That's why I don't want to see Robin.

She'll be so disappointed.

Isn't that what a shrink is for?

To speak openly without feeling judged?

I've been trying to build something

with Étienne for months.

I don't want to ruin everything

over a lost erection after a guy kissed me in the bathroom.

Is that according to you or Robin?

Yes, I fantasize about Kristof. He's super hot.

We're almost the same age, he loves what he does.

Financially, we're similar.

And yes, I can picture myself

spending a weekend at his cottage.

So the issue is that you're too compatible.

No!

I know there's more than one person for me out there.

But loving is about making choices.

Mm-hm.

And right now, I choose Étienne.

So how will you get Kristof out of your head?

The mayor won't be needing us again.

If I keep refusing his invites, he'll get the idea.

It'll take two, three, four weeks max.

Sounds like a great plan, Pat!

Go husband!

Can I tell you about my night of torrid sex?

Oh! Yes.

Hi, everyone.

I can imagine you've been disappointed

with my behaviour over the last few weeks.

Patrick always says

how you're the world's best team,

so I wanted to apologize.

Here's a little snack on me.

We love you, Antoine!

I adore you too, Zach.

Are you going to jail?

We don't think so, but I want to learn

from what I'm going through so I can change.

For the better.

Pat found a treatment centre in Vancouver

where I'll learn to manage my anger.

For what it's worth, what you've seen splashed

all over the media,

I don't want anyone to see that side of me again.

Good luck, Antoine.

- We believe in you. - You'll be great.

- I'm thinking of you. - You wanted to see me?

No, I'd like to speak with Anna, if possible?

Sure.

Can I grab coffee first?

Go ahead. I'll be waiting in Pat's office.

- You won't be long? - No.

Pat?

I'm not sure I can give 100% today.

What's wrong? Are you sick?

Bradley's still in the hospital.

It's hard to focus when you're going into debt.

What's it up to?

$5,000.

Érika, it's a cat! This has to stop.

For $5,000 you can buy a used car!

What are you saying?

That maybe it's time to consider

medical assistance in dying for Bradley.

I know you're sad, but...

They'll figure it out. He'll get better, I can feel it.

Of course he will! Bradley's tough.

Just like the real one.

Right, of course. Absolutely.

For today, just give me 80%.

I don't think I can go above 50%.

OK, then give what you can.

What's going on?

Uh...

I was waiting for you to call...

Antoine...

We made a mistake. That's all.

Yeah, but it was a good mistake, no?

Who cares? I'm here to work, so...

Hey, hey, hey! You always want to talk about things.

Why can't I get five minutes now?

What's there to talk about?

How I felt when we made love.

It was crazy...

it reminded me of when we were trying for a baby.

Those were the good days, no?

Did you forget about what happened afterwards?

Of course not.

Then came two years of fertility treatments...

My "obsessive period", as you liked to call it?

Why are you going there? I'm trying to focus on the good.

Can't we do that?

When you told me that you were in love with Rachel...

I was about to tell you I was pregnant.

What?

When I called to say I needed you

and you felt sorry for me...

One of your little sperm cells went "bingo"!

But then you told me it was over.

And you didn't say anything?

Some women are willing to raise a child on their own,

but not me.

Having a baby was our project,

and since we were no longer together...

I might've seen things differently

if I hadn't been so devastated by our breakup,

but at the time I didn't want to keep anything

that would tie me to you forever.

You didn't think

it deserved a conversation at least?

Did you hear what I just said?

Yes! But if I'd known, I'd have--

If you'd known what?

Would you have stopped loving Rachel?

The woman who showed you the meaning of "freedom"?

The woman who taught you how to live life to the fullest?

Do you need me to refresh your memory?

I remember what I said! But--

Shh! I've heard enough!

I'm finally getting back on my feet,

and I just met a really nice guy.

So for everything else...

I felt sorry for you, Antoine.

That's why I slept with you. It was a mistake, OK?

Now get out! - Anna...

Out! And go get help!

I'm glad they're on good terms.

- Are you OK? - Yes.

The friend is happy.

The boss is wondering what happened to getting used

to the fact that Antoine is a client?

Not now, Pat. Please!

Hearing you shout like that

is a pretty toxic work environment.

We slept together.

You what?

Why?

It was a moment of weakness and pity.

That's it.

The relapse out of left field doesn't mean anything, does it?

Not a thing. Want proof?

TO SAMUEL HÉBERT: I'M THINKING OF YOU...

OK, that's pretty forward.

SAMUEL HÉBERT: ME TOO!

I'm not a complicated girl. I'm done with complicated.

I want a normal, healthy life. Filled with kindness.

As proof, you're right.

I shouldn't have dealt with personal issues at work.

Forgive me?

Apology accepted.

What a soap opera.

Shut up, Mia!

Five minutes max, Tessa.

Look, no disrespect to Antoine,

but who's gonna replace him for the car sponsorship?

Who, who, who?

No clue. It's not like I get a say.

Why don't you plug me?

Tessa, I'm going to be honest...

Oh! I'm not big enough.

I knew you'd say that.

It's the truth.

OK, I'm not Antoine.

But I've got 300,000 followers.

When was the last time you ran stats on my reach?

My fans are a lot younger than Antoine's,

and everyone wants to reach young people.

You're right. But it's too early.

In five years, if your career evolves,

it might be a good idea.

How can you say that?

Have you ever seen me do a motivational speech?

Never.

You're right.

I motivate my fans.

I get people to live their dreams.

I have power. I have the power.

And it hurts to think you don't believe in me.

Because I believe in you.

And I know you can get me a meeting if you want.

Can you motivate Érika?

She's forgotten to breathe

ever since her cat Bradley Cooper was hospitalized.

Easy.

Plus, she's going into debt.

Piece of cake.

We'll do a GoFundMe and save Bradley!

I'm serious.

If I pull off the Érika Challenge,

are we gonna fight together?

I promise I'll contact them to try to get a meeting.

But if they say no, it's a no.

Ahah!

- So? - Good choice.

Ready to smash your aggression in my face?

Whoa!

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

Hey, gang! I talk a lot about my fabulous PR team at PBLD.

I'm here with Érika, who's going through some tough times,

so I'm helping her by launching

a campaign: HelpFundMe BradleyCoopertheCat.

My community is over 300,000 strong.

If only 10% of you send 50 cents...

It's nothing! It's nothing for you!

But it would really help out my good friend Érika...

Don't laugh!

HelpFundMe BradleyCoopertheCat is up to $12,000!

You're joking.

Hey... If I told Tessa

my boyfriend couldn't get hard with me, think she could help?

Stop!

It was just one time!

And there's an easy fix.

Think you could show me before Anna gets back?

I think so.

INCOMING CALL KRISTOF

- Take it. - Nah, forget it.

It's that cutie, Kristof.

Who cares about him?

Come with me.

Oh! OK...

Whoa!

Yes!

Bravo!

Come here. - Huh?

If we want to honour our deal with Patricia...

I didn't think you were such a rule follower?

At $200 an hour...

So... will you see your date again?

- Yes. - Do I know him?

- You've met. - Really? When?

- It was in the past. - Oh!

So... - Oops!

But if I invited you both to dinner,

that would be in the future.

It's the detective. Samuel Hébert.

Now you're talking!

Compared to silly Antoine,

that one's got a good head on his shoulders.

- Mom, you don't even know him. - I know, but I can smell it.

Ah. Yeah...

Have you slept...

That's a question about the past.

It's not important for the exercise.

Let's avoid gossip.

And focus on ourselves.

Are you nervous about the poetry launch?

A bit, yes.

Maybe you could invite Samuel?

Possibly.

What else is there to say?

It's harder when we're not trading barbs.

Our illustrious past...

I burned Antoine's Mercedes.

And I slept with him again.

Oh, my God!

I've done much worse.

I didn't sleep with Antoine, but...

- When I came to you... - Yes.

- ... when you drugged me... - Hm.

... you said you knew about the fire.

It crossed my mind...

How do you know me so well?

I made you!

I'm not always happy to be right, but...

You could've used it against me when I pressed charges.

Do you really think I'd do something like that?

But you said

you understood why your father left me.

You said that during our session.

As if he were a saint?

It was more stable, no?

He was calmer, more responsible...

You're right.

We were very different,

but a real father

would've done everything to stay in your life?

How can you justify the fact that he never made an effort?

It can't all be my fault.

INCOMING CALL ANTOINE

- Hi, you've reached Anna Brodeur. Leave a message.

I want to apologize

for everything I couldn't give you.

I really want you to be happy.

SAMUEL HÉBERT: DINNER FRIDAY?

ABSOLUTELY ;-)

Well? Did you get back in the saddle?

We just tried.

But my plan to forget about you know who needs work.

Aw.

There you go! Can I get you anything else?

No, thanks.

Beautiful girl.

- They're ready for you! - This is it!

Just be yourself. - The bubbly Tessa we love!

But not too bubbly right out of the gate.

- Of course! - OK, go!

- Tessa? Tessa? Tessa! - Hm?

Louis, Sara? I'd like you to meet Tessa Bédard.

Pleasure! Pleasure!

My daughter saw you at Beyoncé's concert.

She's a big fan!

Really? Would you like an autograph?

That would be great! For Léa, she's eight.

Can I borrow your pen?

Thanks.

Tessa Bédard.

There you go! - Thank you.

It's always a pleasure to meet rising stars.

I'm not a big name like Antoine Girard,

but PBLD has taken very good care of me.

I think I can bring something different to the table.

I connect with the younger generations.

They like how I give it to them straight. I don't bullshit.

Where does your confidence come from?

My grandmother.

She always told me I had a super power.

When I told everyone I wanted to dance with the biggest stars

on the planet, they all laughed at me.

But, I did.

And if I hadn't gotten injured...

How did you deal with the injury?

I cried.

But then I picked myself back up.

That's when I discovered social media.

And I learned how to play the game.

Did you see my last livestream at the animal hospital?

Yes. It was very touching.

In addition to helping Érika, thanks to me,

all PBLD employees now get three days off

if their pet is sick.

I didn't know that!

I explained to Pat that for many people,

their pet is as important as a person.

Hm... Tessa is very persuasive.

I admit it.

But at the end of the day,

all I want to do is make the world a better place.

It's clear you have a good head on your shoulders.

That's impressive.

That's Tessa Bédard!

I thought about what you said on the court regarding Dad.

Oh? What's that?

I'm partly to blame.

Why do you say that?

When I was little, I tried to protect you.

I never asked you to.

- No, but I watched you cry.

I saw how heartsick you were.

No kid wants to see their mother like that.

I spent time with Marc, and it changed the way I saw him.

I was more distant. I wasn't trying to be disloyal.

That didn't stop you, did it?

As a teen, I started to see more clearly. I saw the woman--

He couldn't put up with.

I thought we were being honest?

That we weren't holding back?

But you're not taking responsibility,

you're blaming me.

Yet again. I don't call that therapy.

I call it payback!

On a scale of 1 to 10, how was my performance?

7.5?

Not bad. I thought I did pretty good.

See it as a good experience.

Yeah. But I can feel they liked me.

Ah.

And if it works, I told you

I don't have a driver's licence, right?

Huh?

I thought you were eating with Samuel?

What're you doing here?

Maple salmon tartare with sweet potato chips.

Look at you, all hot and sexy.

What's the occasion?

To spoil you, to prove how much I love you.

You've had a big week, it's time to relax.

That's so sweet of you!

Not Téo, I hope?

I mean, it's fine, but it wouldn't be the same...

- Hello... - Hi!

What are you doing here?

Your boyfriend invited me to dinner. He didn't tell you?

That part wasn't clear...

- OK. Hi! - Hello.

- Nice to meet you. - Same!

- Finally! - I know, right?

- Welcome! - It's bigger than I thought!

Please, allow me.

Sparkling wine from the Domaine de la Vallée des Oies.

Biodynamic...

- Wow, thank you! - Thank you.

I'm glad to see your schedules have lined up.

Enjoy your evening.

Cheers!

I come here a lot. It's like my second kitchen.

So, he knew I was waiting around

for nothing last Wednesday?

He did.

As long as we're being honest,

is it true you've never asked a victim out?

It is! You're the first.

- And you never lie? - Never.

Unless I'm trying to coax a confession,

but never to the women I date.

Hm.

You?

Not if I can help it.

And when you say "the women"...?

- We're going there already? - Yes.

I've had three serious relationships

that lasted four, seven, and nine years.

- In that order? - Yes.

It seems I'm getting better at this...

How did you two meet?

What was it, about 15 years ago?

Pat flirted with me.

Oh! You didn't say that, my love.

I don't tell you everything...

I asked him out for a drink, but he was taken.

- Hm. - Ahh.

- Faithful? - At the time, oh, yes. Totally.

And now?

Well, since I'm single,

I'd say I'm more available?

Does something hurt?

Oh, yeah. I worked out earlier and might've pulled something.

Did Pat tell you I'm a physio?

If you want, we could take a look at it later.

- Oh, yeah? OK. - Yeah.

No, Pat didn't tell me...

Only if you want. What's your sport?

Rowing. But I really don't want to bother you...

Sorry, I have a call. I gotta take this.

Hello? What's going on?

Are you shitting me?

You left for 10 years? That's a pretty big deal.

- Well, you met my mother... - I did.

You could say the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

With a few extra qualities, I hope.

I spent enough time with your mother to concur.

You're perfect.

Not that I know you in and out...

- Oof! - I couldn't do that.

Leave everything behind...

It's not for everyone.

Was it about needing a change or starting over?

A little of both, I think.

Everything OK?

Ah! Excuse me.

It's Patrick.

Étienne asked me to give them some privacy...

Go ahead.

- Hello? - Are you with Samuel?

- Yes. - Can you come home? Now?

Étienne asked just the opposite.

Yeah, but Étienne wants to have a threesome with Kristof.

OK, so why the voice?

Do you think sleeping with Kristof

is going to fix my problem?

Can we talk about it for a second?

Will you help me out or not? Please, Anna!

- OK, we're on our way. - Thanks.

Oh, come on.

Well?

I just called a taxi.

I'm proud of you! This will be good for you.

When you get back, it'll be...

Thanks, Pat.

You're more than my agent...

you're the most important person in my life right now.

It's an honour.

I know you don't think that, but...

Before I go, how can I put this...

Want me to settle the hotel bill?

No! No, that's kind of you,

but as it turns out,

I just learned I might have chlamydia.

Could you...

No way! I'm not telling Anna!

OK, so you know.

Of course I am! But that's not public relations.

You'll have to tell her yourself.

OK, you're right. I'll handle it.

Do you know where she is?

She's having dinner with Detective Hébert.

That cocky bastard she met at the police station?

Pat? Come back!

- Pat? - Patty Boy? Please?

Listen, Antoine.

Your treatment is more important, so get on that plane.

I'll tell Anna.

You'd do that for me?

Yes, but this is the last time.

Thanks, Pat. I love you.

Me too. Bye.

Hey! - Hey! That took a while.

I know, sorry. Looks like I missed something?

- Étienne's good, isn't he? - He is.

How does this feel?

- Ah! - Oh...

It hurts right here.

- Here? - Yes.

That's strange.

You said you worked out pretty hard, right?

Yeah, I pushed hard. I wanted to be in shape...

OK. Take off your shirt and lie down on the sofa.

- Are you sure? - I'm sure.

You're working overtime!

- I can't let him suffer. - No, I know. It's OK.

- God! - You OK?

Sorry, man.

- It's fine. - You don't look so good.

Lie down on the ground.

OK.

Ah! Ah! - Kristof!

Kristof! Do you hear me?

Hello! Oh, are we interrupting something?

Come in!

Call 911, Pat! He's having a heart attack!

- What? - Pat. 911.

I got it.

Renaud, please wake up. Renaud, wake up.

Kristof, wake up!

What's going on?

I want you to move in.

And no, Robin doesn't know.
