CRAVE ORIGINAL

PREVIOUSLY Patrick read your novel.

He loved it.

I can't stop you from publishing

Molotov Cocktails.

Starting next Monday,

Mia will become senior account manager.

Really?

- I'm ready to sign. - I want you to be able

to write whatever you want without Antoine.

Wouldn't you like to write a nice role

for a woman your age?

Girl power?

We could lie.

If I don't lose weight soon,

my health might suffer serious consequences.

I can't believe you.

Last time we saw each other,

I was starting to date Antoine.

- So 20 years ago. - Anna?

I can't believe you didn't tell me

you had a 46-year-old daughter.

I'd like you to meet your little sister.

Marc?

I fucked up your life, is that it?

Honestly, I did shrooms with my mom.

If it's so complicated with Antoine,

it's because ten years ago, after he dumped me,

I hired someone to set fire to his Mercedes.

TOO SEXY FOR THIS T-SHIRT

Does Anna Brodeur live here?

Yes, what's happening?

We'd like to speak to her, please.

Anna!

It's a bit early, isn't it?

Sorry.

Anna Brodeur, you're under arrest for hiring someone

to set fire to Antoine Girard's Mercedes.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you.

You have the right to a lawyer.

Don't say anything. I'm calling Stéphane.

Proud of yourself?

You knew that I couldn't turn a blind eye.

Ma'am.

Can I get dressed at least?

You have ten minutes.

What are you doing right now?

Getting dressed, what else?

Run away.

You can't hand yourself in like that.

Mom, I was just calling you to let you know.

It's been eating at me for so long.

It's time to take responsibility.

Did you think about the carnivorous inmates

who'll dream of grilling you like a medium-rare steak

the second you walk through the prison gates?

Can't you just be a normal mother for once

and cry for my tragic fate?

Brodeur never cry.

Get your passport, we're going to Mexico.

- My suitcase is ready. - No!

I'm here in five.

Are you crazy? The police are downstairs!

Go to Patrick's room right now!

I'm in.

Meet me in the alley.

It's on the second floor and there aren't any stairs.

What if there was a fire?

It's too high. I'd die.

Then find something.

Ties, belts, a bunch of dildos to soften your fall.

Oh!

Nothing!

I won't kill myself!

His bed sheets!

His 800-thread-count cotton sheets

should support you while you get down!

I'll go check.

Anna, can I come in?

Uh...

No, I'm naked!

They're getting impatient.

I wanted to take a last shower,

far from the threat of...

... horny inmates.

Come on!

Poor sweetie! Alright, get down!

Sweetie thinks it's too dangerous!

You always wanted to be an Olympic athlete!

You can do it!

She wanted to take one last shower.

Some luxury before facing the hardships of prison.

Wait until she's done.

What are you doing?

Anna!

Open the door!

Open up!

Fly!

Anna! No!

Freeze!

One more step and I'll shoot, Anna Brodeur.

ANNA COMES HOME

How long has Samuel known?

Three days.

If he wanted to turn you in, then...

I have to learn how to dream differently.

Exactly.

- Hey! - Hey!

Jonathan, meet my friend Anna.

I heard you guys, but I hadn't seen you yet.

I finally meet the famous Anna Brodeur, writer of Ironic.

It's crazy, Tessa's also a fan of the series.

She's a client we're representing at the agency

and you're in the same age group.

I don't know for Tessa, but

my friends and I meet up and...

Ah. You laugh at the characters?

Their lines too.

"We're all unfinished storylines."

Out of context, it's not...

There are some gems, real corkers,

like my grandma used to say.

I did win two Gémeaux awards.

Voted by a bunch of little oldies.

We'll talk when you have one.

In the meantime,

if you want to see something really bad,

I recommend Boris and Virgule on YouTube.

It's definitely a good time.

You'll see Daddy Patrick in a whole new light.

La! La! La! I can't hear anything!

I can't hear anything!

I can't hear anything!

I can't hear anything!

Nonsense.

- Are you hungry? - No, I'm late.

Ah.

- Bye. - Bye.

"Real corkers?"

It's true that it might have aged badly.

Oh, my God.

My humour's outdated, how will I impress Rachel?

You're the one who signed a deal with the devil.

Is it serious with annoying Jonathan?

Just sex.

Good sex.

He's alright with that, so it's perfect.

About Ironic, is it...

DELPHINE

I thought sending a gift would be clear.

Seems not.

Answer, or you'll think about it all day.

As your boss, I'm allowed to worry about

your work performance. Answer.

Hey!

Is it too early?

No, but I was about to go to work.

It won't take long. I just wanted to show you

your beautiful gift. Marc installed it yesterday.

Look at how pretty.

It was so nice of you. Thank you.

A birth is something special.

- How is she? - Great.

I'm not kidding.

I gave birth to an angel. She's almost sleeping all night.

We'll call you Pinocchio, my love.

Of course she can't sleep all night

after being alive for 96 hours.

God, your dad sometimes!

Of course... I really have to go. Sorry.

We just wanted to invite you to dinner to thank you.

That's alright, it was my pleasure.

We'd be really happy if you came, right?

Come tonight.

I can't tonight.

I have to start writing again.

I just landed an important contract

and I work during the day.

- Delphine. - What?

We can't force her to come if she's busy.

It's not a crime to insist.

I want Anna to meet her sister. Isn't that normal?

Her half-sister.

I won't start segregating them, Anna and Laura share your blood,

so for me, they're sisters. Alright?

My hormones are all over the place,

so don't make me cry this morning.

We'll see you tonight at six, alright? Bye!

- Say bye. - Bye!

What did I just go through?

I don't know, but Monique has competition.

- Mr. Girard? - Yeah?

Samuel Hébert. Investigator at the police department.

Is this a good time?

Yeah, of course.

Do I know you?

I dated Anna Brodeur for a while.

That was you.

I'm not here to talk about her,

I have questions about the fire

that destroyed your car and house.

That was a long time ago.

Uh...

- You have a new lead? - No.

I was wondering if after a while,

some details re-emerged?

Ah...

Not really, no.

No.

In my mind, the case has been closed for a while.

- How are you coping with that? - Pretty well.

Yeah.

If someone was targeting me, they could've done it again.

It must've been a pyromaniac having a breakdown.

Like a vampire desperate for blood.

You okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

Mr. Hébert is checking out our arson case.

That's my spouse, Rachel Lussier.

I just want to make sure some details

didn't come back to mind?

- No. - No.

However, the anger...

Do you know what it's like

to lose your whole life in one night?

It's not just a house and walls.

It's full of the little things that make you who you are.

Our love letters? Burned.

- My mom's ring? Melted! - Yeah.

My long hair I'd kept as a souvenir?

Gone up in smoke!

My autographed picture of Céline Dion?

Sacrificed to the flames of hell!

Thank goodness the insurance covered all that, right?

And Mr. Beaulieu?

If he hadn't been at the vet, he would be dead!

Burned alive!

- Mr. Beaulieu is her cat. - I had guessed.

The nightmares I had!

It might not have been rape,

but no one can understand until they went through it!

My love...

The idea that the maniac who did this

might be drinking a latte on a terrace

without facing consequences

revolts me as much as ten years ago!

Nothing would make me happier

than to learn that they were arrested.

MONIA (47) WALKS QUICKLY...

No, no...

MONIA (44) WALKS QUICKLY...

WITH HER CHIN HELD UP HIGH AND A FAINT CROOKED SMILE.

MONIA ISN'T LOOKING AT ANYONE, BUT EVERYONE LOOKS AT HER.

HER ENERGY IS CONTAGIOUS.

ANTOINE GIRARD

What is it again?

DO NOT ENTER BEFORE ALL EMPLOYEES HAVE ARRIVED

Another riddle made in Patrick.

Miss senior manager doesn't know what's happening?

No, but since I know how to read, we'll play along.

Patrick has his reasons.

You weren't always so docile.

Especially since he'll blame us for being late

and not productive.

Nothing to add.

Of course.

Miss senior, I haven't slept in three nights,

so stop with your childishness.

- What's wrong? - It's personal.

What's happening?

DO NOT ENTER BEFORE ALL EMPLOYEES HAVE ARRIVED

Should we start a live stream? To make PBLD look good?

I don't wanna see myself on social media.

Céleste has insomnia.

Wanna talk about it?

It's personal!

What are you guys doing? A strike?

No.

We're following the surprise instructions of the day,

Maestro Marsolais.

Alright. What is it? Is there a bomb?

Is something going on?

We thought you'd be with your husband.

No, he had some calls to make.

He didn't tell you anything?

No.

- Hey, guys! - Hey!

We don't have an appointment, right?

No, but we have to talk.

After the surprise. Come on!

The surprise?

What's going on?

Stay here.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Hi, everyone! I'm Noor Chamsi.

I'm the new reception and general services manager.

Be careful, I'm also second dan black belt,

so show me some respect!

Alright, come with me.

KARAOKE VOL. 2 1970 HITS

Who is that?

He's the new lawyer who works here.

He'll take care of your podcast.

A podcast? I thought it was a talk show on YouTube?

A podcast that's filmed. Same thing.

- Want me to introduce you? - No, we need to talk.

It can't wait.

I have nothing to do with that.

I hope so. What does he want from us?

Who are you talking about?

Your cop.

He came to ask me questions

about my Mercedes.

- Samuel? - Yes.

He wanted to know if I had any idea

who could've done this. What are the chances

he came to see me now, this morning? It's weird.

It's my fault. I told him everything.

What the fuck, Anna?

In my defence, I had done shrooms with my mom.

And I'm the unstable one?

Antoine, stop it. Thanks for letting me know.

I don't want you to go to prison.

Me neither. I'll talk to him and it should be fine.

What about our series?

Is that really a question to ask before I get arrested?

- No, sorry. - Yeah.

I don't wanna lose you.

In the industry, you know that first impression is crucial,

so I wanted to prove that

I'm not your typical boring lawyer.

Point proven.

You're much more than that.

Jean-Christophe's father is a producer,

so you'll see that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Not too much pressure, boss,

but I hope we can run at full speed

to make PBLD the best agency in town.

Rock and roll, baby!

Rock and roll, baby!

Rock and roll, baby!

I'll let you get acquainted. Maestro?

Rock and roll, baby!

You were really good.

Could there be a handsome young man behind your insomnia?

Unfortunately, no.

Is something stressing you out?

Hm.

Come on.

- Hi. - Hey.

I didn't run away because of your singing abilities.

Ouf. Thank God!

Anna Brodeur, right?

Exactly. I'm the one raising the average age in the office.

- Come on. - We'll stay truthful.

I had to take care of a special client.

Anyway, sorry for missing your show.

Don't worry about it. It's a good sign

your client needs you that much, wouldn't you say so?

Especially if it's Mr. Girard.

We'll see about that.

Anyway, welcome to PBLD.

- Thanks. - JC?

Can I post the video of you singing?

If you wanna laugh at me, sure.

I'm far from laughing at you, don't worry.

My mother sings really well, but I'm tone-deaf.

Wanna hear someone who's tone-deaf?

You have a beautiful voice.

Thank you.

- My pleasure. - New employee at PBLD.

If you know you're tone-deaf

, why turn the place into the Bell Centre?

We know why Patrick hired him.

Oh.

How long have you been in town?

- Three weeks. - Alright.

You know how I prefer to be discreet.

What can I do for you?

I was wondering if my bestie could come with me tomorrow?

Your bestie?

Not her.

- Erika. - Erika.

Anna, the great Anna whom I love dearly.

I'm sure it can be done.

What's the occasion? I don't remember.

A personal project.

That's dear to my heart.

If I have to clear her schedule, can you give me more details?

It's my first colonoscopy.

I don't wanna be alone, you know?

Of course, I understand now.

Aren't you a bit young for your first colonoscopy?

- No, haven't you heard? - What?

Colon cancer cases in people under 35 years old

have doubled in the last 30 years.

Can you imagine the uproar if I were to die at my age?

You don't have family members who can come with you?

No. No.

It's way too personal for my family.

I'll probably get recognized at the clinic.

Anna is really good at managing everything.

That's what I want.

I need it, please, Patrick.

CAN WE TALK?

Hi!

Did I do something?

No, but I love you.

That's great, because I love you too.

I love you all, but I love Anna more,

because she'll come with me

to my first colonoscopy tomorrow morning.

Ah!

Wish me luck.

Good luck, Maestro!

Thanks.

- Hi, Érika! - Hi...

Mm-hmm. Um...

I have to be there at 7. Can you come pick me up at 6?

- Sure thing. - Thanks.

Oh, my God, JC, the post already has 250 likes!

250?

You could almost become a professional.

How did Maestro manage to convince you

that it was part of our job to accompany him

to his colonoscopy?

Mia, your bestie, cleaned up Clara Dandurand's puke.

Jean-Michel makes twice your salary.

- Should I keep going? - It's fine.

Can I comment on your new protégé?

I wanted a straight guy to balance our energy.

And the fact that he's handsome?

Since when is it a flaw to be handsome and talented?

SAMUEL Oh, my God.

What is it?

Can you listen to my call and tell me if my life is in danger?

What's happening?

- Hi! - You wanted to talk?

I wanted to know how you were coping, following my confession.

Uh...

Not that well...

Why'd you tell me, Anna?

I wanted to be honest.

I know honesty is important to you.

You know what I do for a living.

Of course I do, but you know I wasn't my normal self.

It's still a crime.

What am I supposed to do?

Do I turn a blind eye because it's you?

I'd like that, yes.

Ask Mr. Girard's spouse

how she feels about the one who did this.

It wasn't pleasant to hear.

What's happening?

You spoke with her?

It's like it happened yesterday.

I understand, but it's been ten years.

Maybe she should go to therapy.

What the fuck, Anna?

That's a petty comment.

Of course, I'm the pettiest person on Earth!

I'm insensitive,

I don't have a heart, so do what you have to do!

What are you doing?

I wasn't gonna beg him!

That's what you needed to do! Play along!

I'm acting like Monique, aren't I?

Stop, that's not the issue right now.

I'm going to prison.

Call him back.

Tell him you did that to test his love.

Would you believe that?

No.

Is it him?

It's my other boss.

- Do I take it? - Of course. Might be good news.

Hi, Rachel.

Am I bothering you?

Not at all. What is it?

Did you think about our series?

Yes and I had a pretty good idea this morning.

You're fast. What's it about?

I'd rather keep it a surprise.

The main character would be called Monia.

"Monia?"

Not the most inclusive name in town.

Yeah, it's unique, but that's what I wanna do.

Mm-hmm.

That's exciting.

Wouldn't you prefer writing a nice three-page synopsis?

What does she mean?

Not really.

I thought I had free rein.

Yeah, but put yourself in my shoes...

Wouldn't want you to waste your time on a bad idea.

Write a three-page synopsis

and if I love it as much as you do,

then you can have fun.

Alright, perfect. Bye.

It wasn't the good news we were waiting on.

Hey!

Patrick wants us to do a follow-up for Clara Dandurand.

I'm not doing it.

You're the only one not working for the festival and

Pat wants it online by the end of the day.

I have ideas, but you'll have to write the text.

There's nothing you can't tell me. What's the issue?

Um.

I don't feel good about the fact

that we suggested to Clara Dandurand

to lie to get out of it.

Come on, now.

See? You're already telling me how to feel.

Since I haven't slept in three days,

I know how I feel.

A lot of people use that treatment

to get to their healthy weight.

Her doctor didn't ask her to lose weight.

We lied to cover for her.

It's a small lie.

It's so much worse in politics.

That's why people vote increasingly less.

And people know it's a communication strategy.

"She forgot to say it was from her doctor." Come on.

The goal was to stop it from escalating,

which we did, the rest doesn't matter.

Even my mom said the thing about the doctor was ridiculous.

But you signed a confidentiality agreement,

so you said it was the truth?

If this ever goes out, I won't hesitate to tell the culprit

that a confidentiality agreement is as important as their ideals.

Céleste doesn't feel good.

- Is she sick? - No. It's something personal.

- Hi, Mr. Girard. - Hi.

You came in incognito this morning?

Yeah, I had an emergency.

My name's Noor Chamsi. I'm replacing Agnès.

She told me you were one of our favourite clients.

That's nice.

Just to make sure, how do you pronounce your first name?

I'm not easily offended,

but usually it's "Noor" with a soft "oo."

Not "Nor" or "Nur." Just "Noor."

"Noor."

It's easy, no?

Of course, Noor. Noor.

That's it.

You're top-notch.

I wish you a wonderful meeting, Mr. Girard.

Don't hesitate to ask me almost anything.

Thank you so much, Noor.

My pleasure.

Oh, my God.

Hi.

Hey.

So?

Any news?

We talked a bit.

And?

- I'm waiting. - For what?

Everything will be fine, alright?

- Let's say the worst happens. - Yeah?

Are we on the same page,

or should I say that I had no idea you...

- Antoine! - No.

If Rachel finds out about this, even legally,

the fact that I didn't report you

could be bad for the insurance.

My reputation's already--

I don't think you want to be late for your meeting.

Hey.

There are some people I already know,

but not the masked singer.

I'm Jean-Christophe. Or just J-C.

Nice to meet you.

You seem happy, Pat.

When you have the best team in town!

What's that?

A set design proposal for your new talk show.

Alright. We're not filming in my living room?

No. Apparently, I'm way off.

Contrary to Marie-Claude Barrette

who films in a home-style decor,

we wanted to create an environment

that represents you more.

We're taking a bit of inspiration

from Joe Rogan's studio, but without the rough,

rugged edge of the American beast.

Exactly. Lots of wood.

A warm, carefully crafted atmosphere, but unpretentious.

A space that has a story to tell.

Antoine's story.

In an ideal world, who would be your dream first guest?

Uh...

From the top of my head...

Thanks.

A funny guy.

Like Patrick Huard, Martin Matte.

What if we went beyond Montréal?

I don't know. Can you guys help me?

Félix Auger-Aliassime?

Eugenie Bouchard, Denis Villeneuve?

Are you guys joking?

No, why?

You believe in me that much?

We're aiming for the best. You have to stand out.

I even started working on your social media marketing.

We want to strike hard for your comeback.

If I get to interview all those people,

I'll have to be really fucking good.

Of course!

Anna left and I don't know what to do.

I'll be back.

Take two tablets.

You could have taken them at four p.m.

Will it ruin my exam?

No, an hour or two won't change anything.

Um...

Did you just take them?

Of course.

Then if I were you, I'd go home right now.

Really? That bad?

In the next couple of hours,

you'll spend a lot of time in the bathroom.

Alright.

Can you bring me home?

No, I'll get you a car.

Thanks, I'd like that.

Oh, my God.

Can you imagine?

Jean-Michel Marsolais shits himself in a car?

Don't jinx it.

Have a shitty day tomorrow!

SAMUEL CALL ME BACK

You came. I'm glad. Come in.

- I thought you'd cancel. - Not at all.

Giving Daddy some sweet smiles?

Honey.

Aren't they great together?

Yeah.

Are you gonna fall over?

Of course not.

Hi.

Hi, Marc.

I'm glad to see you.

I didn't want to miss this.

Hi. Do you want to hold her?

There you go.

I don't know how to... Alright.

Like that.

Her head... There you go!

Laura, meet your big sister Anna.

She'll love you too.

Oh, my God, this is so cute. Don't move.

I have to take a picture.

Wait, wait. Alright.

You guys are so beautiful.

She's touching, isn't she?

Mm-hmm.

Would you like to put her to sleep in her room?

Thanks again for the gift.

My pleasure.

You wouldn't have contacted me again, right?

I wasn't sure if you needed to see me again.

I'm glad you're here.

Is it okay if we eat in 30 minutes?

Mm-hmm.

Everyone will love you.

You guys agree with Patrick.

I'm dumb for losing sleep over this.

- No. - That's not what we're saying.

You were right to speak to Patrick.

But... you won't confront him with me?

I have friends at Comme Chez Vous

and it's not perfect either.

Or...

...it's time for us to start our own communications company.

- Are you serious? - Why not?

We have guts.

We choose our clients according to our values.

- That would be fun. - Yeah.

- It's not that I'm shallow. - No.

But Patrick just gave us a raise.

He also has credibility in the field.

We're good, but not enough to attract top clients.

So we do nothing and endure him?

You're stressed lately, but I think it's temporary.

- You're defending him a lot. - That's true.

You'll see why.

- You'll see why. - What?

His little bomb is officially

going out with the mayor's press secretary.

Shocking, eh?

How do we know he saw them?

Hm?

Ah. Speaking of the devil.

Patrick wants to see me at the office.

Come on, we don't work 24/7.

Maybe he's listening through our phones.

Hmm.

He's listening through our phones.

Yes!

Give me my phone.

Give it to me.

- Here. - You're not drinking?

I've been overdoing it a lot lately.

I'm trying to be my liver's friend.

And you?

How are you?

Um...

I saw Marc again.

By chance?

Mm.

I know I'm an adult.

That I've seen worse.

That I made peace with his absence.

But...

...he has a four-day-old daughter.

And...

...the mother is your age, I'm guessing?

Younger.

Her name's Delphine.

She has three beauty salons.

An entrepreneur.

Let's not go there, alright?

Mm-hmm.

Their daughter's called Laura.

She's beautiful.

He'd just given her a bath when I got there.

He seems to love her so much.

They're a beautiful family.

They're lucky.

Mm.

It was quite a sight to behold.

But in a second...

...I went back to being the 11-year-old again

who knows she'll never be his top priority.

It was the same pain.

Right here.

Sweetie...

I know that...

he'll love her and take care of her for the rest of his life.

I saw it in his eyes.

I was happy for her.

Oh, my God. Come here.

- I'm sorry. - Mom...!

Hey.

What's missing in my communications plan?

Not much.

It's excellent. I sent you some notes.

I wanted to talk about Céleste.

Yeah?

Did you speak to her again?

No.

She doesn't feel good about the strategy

used with Clara Dandurand.

I'll speak to her again,

but I'm scared she'll do something rash

that could harm PBLD.

Alright, so you want me to...

You could talk to her about the importance of confidentiality.

Alright. I'll speak to her.

Alright, thanks. Wait, wait.

How are you doing regarding all the changes?

Me?

Yes, you.

Seems like flexibility is a great quality.

I do this so that you can all be independent

and so I can manage certain clients.

Like an agent?

Yes, like I started doing with Antoine.

That's what I want to do.

Build careers and break my routine.

So it's clear in your mind?

Are you doubting me?

You're dealing with a heartbreak.

When I'm heartbroken, I'm not at my best.

I'm older, so it helps.

Well, you're definitely more zen than me, because...

Do you know something I don't?

Do you follow him on Insta?

I unfollowed him.

Well.

I always forget how wise you are.

It's good. I should take a page from your book

when it comes to love.

Don't worry about Céleste. I'll talk to her.

Thanks.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

I didn't pack my luggage like in your nightmare,

but we could get out of here.

To Mexico?

With margaritas.

Wouldn't it be great?

It's tempting.

I fixed your notes.

I looked at his pictures. I'm not as strong as I thought.

- I feel bad. - Don't.

I'm the one who desperately wants to believe in love.

Don't say that.

You just didn't meet the right person.

Well, I'm not getting younger, you know?

Alex.

- Hmm? - Uh...

It's not a good idea.

Yeah.

Sorry, I don't know what came over me.

What's wrong?

Does my breath stink?

I'm not in the mood anymore.

Are you serious?

I don't think I can sleep with Boris.

Bye.

Thanks.

Is it true that you're working on Antoine's arson case?

No.

Some lies are more acceptable than others?

That's nice to know.

It's the only way I could find to try to turn a blind eye.

Since Rachel is traumatized,

I deserve to go to prison, right?

I'm not a yo-yo, Sam.

I'm sorry for putting that on you.

But I think you're strong enough to make a decision.

Not tomorrow.

Tonight. Now.

Either you call your colleagues to tell them,

or you turn a blind eye and you keep my secret.

I'll count to three.

If you don't say anything,

I'll leave and you'll never see me again.

Hail, Mary, full of grace.

One.

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Two.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for my poor sinning daughter, Anna.

Two and a half.

Now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Sorry.

Hail, Mary, full of grace.

Blessed art thou among women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for my poor sinning daughter.

Now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
