Did you receive my message?

Yes, I'm sure of the figure.

0.25 doesn't seem right to me. Check it out, Yazid.

- Get in. - I'm going.

How are you?

- Good, and you? - Good.

Yazid, are you coming?

Yeah.

He slept badly.

Before it was raw.

Yes, but my rate is net and it is 0.25.

There are 823 units, eight buildings,

6.5 hectares, 647,300 tons of cement...

- Too much, isn't it? - No.

- Not for 63 million. - I'm not the one buying.

And the black jacket you wore to your vows?

Yes, please call Chaumette.

- To check. - If I knew, I wouldn't have come looking for you.

Nobody forced us to accept, we couldn't say no, Mr. Jabbi.

- Chaumette and Dunoyer... - Contestant.

I'll call from the car.

- Should I hang up? Are you sure? - Yes.

We can talk about the insurance commitment rate.

- Is there a problem? - No.

But I can find some.

Looks like you're hot for the commission.

I'm fine.

No, I think black ones are better.

- By the way, hello. - Hello, Clémence.

We've cut off the water. Okay!

It's cut off.

Don't stay there, Naina.

Pick up your school things.

- It's already cut, Fatima. - Thanks, Michel.

- Where does it come from? - I don't know.

It's cut!

Chaumette and Dunoyer, legal administrators.

Please wait, we will be with you shortly.

Hello.

- Everything okay? - Yes.

How are you?

- Are we arriving soon? - Yes.

But they will arrive an hour late.

Hello good morning.

The rent, please.

In the kitchen.

Hello.

The rent.

In the kitchen.

Let's go.

Rent. The rent.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Number? - Darshan.

OK.

- Number? - Said.

- Said. - Vale.

There's a water leak. We need to collect the water.

The water.

Thank you.

Hello.

What does Mr. Kupka do?

This painting is a disaster.

I know, we'll fix it.

It needs to be insulated and formwork at least.

We've already called for them to come. Don't worry.

When are they coming?

Are we going to get on our nerves over some cables?

If this burns down, the lease is over.

Clemency.

Hello, Jérôme. How are you?

GOOD.

This is Naidra, my deputy.

Enchanted.

- Yazid, Chief of Staff. - Hello.

- Mr. Chaumette, administrator. - We've met before.

Mr. "Great Paris", Jérôme Narvaux.

Well... We have a little problem.

Who is Michel Kupka?

The president of Les Bernardins,

the head of the ownership group. What's going on?

We received a letter from you today.

"To the High Commissioner," that is, me.

"After trying in vain to warn the city council of the serious situation,

You are our last resort.

In February 1986, I bought an apartment in Les Bernardins and settled in..."

He explains the last 30 years.

"The relentless process of unhealthiness."

He writes like a technocrat.

"Poverty, misery, bankruptcy, state failure, etc."

He's angry with you, Mr. Chaumette.

"Abusive and unjustified increase in owner's expenses.

The administrator since bankruptcy

rejects all communication by phone, mail or email."

My door is always open.

According to him, instead of resetting the accounts and maintaining the building,

you "feed copiously on the animal's carcass."

And I sacrifice children in black masses.

He also dedicates a few words to you. I quote:

"Clemence Collombet,

a mayor as obtuse as she is incompetent."

And it continues in the same line.

Well, I move on to the conclusion.

"Under these conditions, the owners' association

has decided to suspend monthly payments."

What do you want?

To you. Your boss. He wants me to resign as administrator.

How much are you asking for the rescue plan?

63 million.

A 31-month renewal plan.

The state buys 68% for social housing,

so the poorest can stay,

and we maintain 32% of the owners

solvent and responsible.

- Responsible? - But desperate.

Downgrading involves costs.

A leak has damaged five apartments. They need our help.

A 63 million aid, Clémence, which they don't even want.

If the state renovates the complex

and the inhabitants do not pay, it will continue to deteriorate.

In 15 years we will be the same.

But without those 63 million in public funds.

I'm sorry, but we have to postpone it.

What? I'm warning you, Jérôme,

If you stop me, you'll have to call the police.

Leave it for June.

There will be no money left in the coffers and I will no longer be mayor.

Are you not introducing yourself?

I'm leaving.

Naidra is going to relieve me.

I won't leave like a thief.

I'm going to fix Les Bernardins now.

I read the report yesterday.

It's fine. Well, it was fine, until I got this letter.

Are you going to abandon a 63 million per 100,000 spending plan?

It is not the only project.

It's arbitration. Unfortunately, arbitration works.

by elimination.

Alright.

Should we postpone it?

Yazid, let them in. Tell them the break is over.

I'll raise the money, Jérôme.

Everything will be in order by the time you make your decision.

I promise you.

Gentlemen, please...

Let's resume the meeting.

Well.

Don't tell anyone about the letter.

Are you kidding?

They're going to listen to me and throw the plan and the lives of 2,300 people in the trash.

Think about our deal.

What deal?

Deferred payment of charges.

It's not a deal, it's a favor I'm doing you.

In exchange for a quick agreement.

I have to report this letter.

No, keep it to yourself.

Let me fix it, otherwise there's no deal.

Do you think that by repeating the word "deal" I will believe that we have one?

Alright.

We're running late. I'll give you 20 minutes.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

- Have you seen the plumbers? - It'll take all night.

And Michel Kupka?

- He left so he wouldn't see me. - Shit.

I have left you two messages.

Commander Kupka's Dream:

having pleading messages from you on their answering machine.

Find him first thing in the morning and stick to the plan.

If we win, Chaumette is over.

Repeat it as many times as necessary.

- Okay. - Wait.

- Hello, Mr. Hadjemi. - Hello, Mayor.

- Did water fall on him? - Yes.

Only on the kitchen ceiling.

- How is your wife? - Fine.

Please give her my regards.

- Cheer up. - Thanks. Goodbye.

Don't let him tell you his political theories.

It will tell you the history of capitalism.

Okay. Fine.

- What are you doing? - Taking a bath.

Brush your teeth well afterwards.

Good night.

Good evening, Clémence.

How's it going, Michel?

Can we talk?

At least you can say hello to me.

Hello.

I don't understand how you give up something you've fought for for 20 years.

That's why, Yazid. I've seen a lot of plans in 20 years.

The state will always have some excuse for doing nothing.

At least this way, we don't lose our money.

Do you know how we got here?

Too many people believe that unhealthy housing

it's a flat screen problem.

Yeah.

People prefer to buy flat screen TVs to watch sports.

or play video games rather than pay bills.

Few see that, for the poor, a good screen

It is a way to keep children at home.

You understand us.

It's touching.

Michel, Chaumette is a bastard with the law on his side.

He will send you a pack of judicial agents without any problem.

That won't be enough.

That?

He'll need cops to get us out. Lots of them.

We've worked hard to buy apartments that are worthless now.

Some people think their life is worthless.

I assure you that a bailiff will not stop them.

We had to change two light bulbs.

And Chaumette makes us pay 18 euros for each one.

I thought it was a mistake, but Chaumette is never wrong.

If the owners don't pay the bills, someone has to.

- It's pure liberalism. - Okay, but the question is what do we do?

Am I wrong?

The state needs you to make an effort to get the subsidy

and you don't want to.

And you lose out.

If we don't play, we can't lose.

You don't live here anymore.

You can't understand it.

¡Michel!

How long has it been since I came to Les Bernardins? Do you know?

- No. - Me neither.

I lived here for 15 years and they might bulldoze it to make a shopping center.

and I wouldn't care.

After the elections, I'm going to Paris and eating organic.

You're lucky Clémence is the mayor.

He has been fighting for Les Bernardins for 12 years.

as if humanity depended on it.

She could be re-elected, but she said she would only serve two terms.

That's a sense of honor.

I ask you to trust her.

Hello, guys.

Thank you.

- Hello, Clémence. - Hello, Jérôme.

- Hello. - Hello, sir.

- How are you? - Fine, thanks.

Does it seem discreet to you? Do you want to check for microphones?

It's perfect.

I saw the Prime Minister yesterday.

An informal meeting between trusted people.

I've never seen him so tense.

And I know him well.

The municipal elections are approaching and he wants to gain strength.

He will carry out a restructuring just before the elections.

I've told him about you.

- Oh yeah? - Yes.

You have the profile your government needs.

A pain in the ass?

No, they're looking for someone who knows how to talk to people.

Men and women with real-world experience.

Perhaps for the Ministry of Urban Planning, Housing, or Development.

Or maybe all three. I don't know.

These are not rumors, Clémence.

They will call you to arrange a meeting.

With who?

The Prime Minister.

I don't know if I feel like it.

The fact that?

That world, your world.

What exactly are you afraid of?

To show ambition?

To stop being different and become another political addict?

What will you do after the elections?

I haven't had time to think, but I'm not worried.

The void doesn't scare me.

I could take a plane.

Wherever.

Let me go.

I used to be a doctor. There's life outside of politics.

To worm, Clémence...

We won't have this conversation again.

When you leave, people will forget you.

and you don't have to go to Patagonia.

I know.

Minister.

You can leave your mark on French history.

Even if it's small.

It's what your grandchildren will explain to their grandchildren.

I've never dreamed of that.

Or when I was very little.

Hi how are things?

Well, how about you? Are you still home?

Yes, I won't be long in leaving.

- Call me when you arrive. - Yes.

I have been proposed to be a minister.

Minister of what?

I don't know. Urban planning, maybe.

That's great.

And it comes at the best time.

Because?

You had nothing planned for when you left.

Only you think it will be easy to quit overnight.

Do you have any questions?

It is not an easy decision.

Because?

Because they're going to crush me.

- What does Yazid say? - He doesn't know.

Won't he go with you?

Of course, he would be delighted.

But I can't tell you until it's confirmed.

Do you want to do it or not?

Yes of course.

Call me when you arrive.

Yeah.

Buckwheat? Buckwheat?

- Why not? - Naidra?

- Yes. - Cod.

We can now order.

- Good morning, Mayor. - Hello, nice to see you.

Hello, Nicolas.

Let's see if the councilor can do something.

Yes, we will try.

All good?

Have you spoken to Kupka?

He hasn't called me back.

- I'll collect the payments myself. - How?

I'll go there directly to talk to them and pick up the checks.

Door to door?

You won't be able to, Clémence.

Why? Can you think of anything better?

We're thinking of holding a public meeting with the people of Les Bernardins.

It's time.

A meeting is fine. We tell them about the plan,

but there is nothing new.

They want Chaumette's head. Well, we'll give it to them.

We'll tell them we've sued him.

Only we're not going to sue him.

We have asked for legal advice

about the change of administrator.

We have been advised against suing.

We tell them that we are going to do it

due to mismanagement, abusive charges and an attack on public health.

You're honest. You don't promise to win, just to fight.

They tried to do it in Echirolles more than 20 years ago.

and the owners lost out.

There's no need to give them a history lesson.

I am honest, but I lie.

Not at all. We'll sue.

That we can't win.

Not keeping a promise is not lying.

If you know you can't do it, yes.

Do we know that it cannot be maintained?

Of course, because if not, we would have done it a long time ago.

They don't say you can't win.

More or less.

More or less, that's why there is a possibility.

- But it's risky. - But it exists.

- Not for me. - But it exists.

In summary...

It is not a false promise and even less a lie.

- What are you going to order? - Four pieces of cod.

- Four. - Please.

Mayor, a salad.

- Very well. Wine? - Yes.

- Green wine? - Yes.

Of the?

Lies rarely work.

First, you listen to them, for a long time.

Let them vent their anger on Chaumette and his exorbitant prices.

Who understands Chaumette's numbers? No one!

153.60 euros for a flooded parking lot,

70 euros for an invaded basement,

20.23 euros for an elevator that has been broken for ten years.

Have you heard?

That will relieve them, but they won't pay.

That's the trick.

They have to pay to attack him.

If we don't comply, we can't sue.

Naidra, if you are elected, and I believe you will be,

you will have to deal with the consequences.

I would follow you with my eyes closed,

but I think this is the only solution.

They won't believe you.

If you live there, yes.

They have to take tranquilizers

because of Kupka's lost battle.

And they see a reassuring figure join them.

They act proud, but they want a helping hand.

Exactly what you're going to do.

This vote, purely indicative, by show of hands,

informal, it is to know what position you have

and how we can join forces.

So...

Those who are in favor of this procedure

to achieve the change of legal administrator,

raise your hand.

Sorry.

Do we vote by show of hands?

- Hello, sir. - Hello.

This is absurd.

Is it even legal?

I have already said that this vote has no legal value, it is purely indicative.

This is intimidation. We're here, in your town hall.

And you are the ones who count the votes.

Is all this legal jargon democracy?

Tell me.

Mr. Esposito, what you do is as old as politics.

He comes here, and pardon the expression, to raise hell,

to prevent people from expressing themselves

and he has nothing to do here.

I represent some owners.

No, you are an exploiter,

and he has never paid his monthly bills.

Their interests are against the people who are here.

The more run-down the building is, the cheaper the apartments are.

- Bravo. - Mayor...

- Who are those lawyers? - They're the Loiseau law firm.

We collaborate with them regularly. Their reputation is excellent.

What a pity they didn't come.

- And have they advised you to sue? - Absolutely.

For them it means making money.

Have they said if there is a chance of winning?

- If not, how can we decide? - Look, Michel,

Lawyers don't usually take risks.

But I have called them.

I insisted and they gave me a figure.

80 %.

An 80% chance of success.

I'm not here to say we're going to fight. I'm here to say we're going to win!

Very well, I think we have a large majority in favor.

Thank you for coming. Now we can move forward together.

Thank you so much.

And good night.

We were always at the beach. The residence was nearby.

That's why it was called "Feet in the Sea" or something like that.

- "Feet in the water." - Yes.

The Oléron program is fine.

The mayor has done a lot for the youth of Bernardins.

And that's why... I wanted to know what will happen this summer.

This summer?

Yes, if possible, I would like to come back.

I have submitted the application, but others have not responded to me yet.

There is a problem.

- Oh yeah? - Yes.

It's this summer and the previous one.

The future is built from the past.

It's like cultivating a field.

Before the harvest, there is patience, rigor and care.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Regarding care, there was a problem last year.

The floor was destroyed.

The city council paid 6,000 euros in repairs.

I was no longer there. The little ones were gone.

Oh yeah?

Did you leave early?

Yes, my aunt was sick.

- I was in the hospital. - Yeah.

The city council paid for everyone's train for the same day.

I hitchhiked back.

- From Oléron? - Yes.

Without saying anything?

My mother was hysterical, I left immediately.

Ah, if I understood correctly, you did not participate in the destruction.

I swear.

Alright...

Can I sign up?

No.

- Why? - Because of feces.

What? What is that?

A feces is a piece of shit. Feces are several pieces of shit.

There were several pieces of feces in the bathtub in addition to the damage.

I was no longer there!

You might not remember.

There are photos in the insurance file.

Want to see them? Look.

- Take it. - Shut up!

Shut up, you bastard!

You think you are very important.

Ms. Collombet.

- It's a pleasure to meet you. - Hello.

Guillaume Mars, Chief of Staff.

I heard his speech at the Toulouse mayors' conference.

I've never heard applause like that.

There has been a snowstorm in the Karakoram, northern Pakistan.

The Prime Minister will land two hours late.

His entire schedule has been thrown out of whack.

Sorry, I just found out.

But we will soon organize another meeting.

Would you like a coffee?

OK.

The director, the person in charge of the psycho-pedagogical center, is usually there.

sometimes, someone from housing.

The meetings are long, but we talk to all the families.

It's the only way to do it in the long run.

Personally, I think it's a good system.

worth keeping.

If he gets the job,

which I hope,

will have to unlearn everything he knows.

Not literally.

No one doubts his experience.

I'm referring to your relationship with authority.

Today, you work for your constituents, or rather, for your citizens.

He owes it all to them.

Tomorrow, you will be accountable to only one person.

To the Prime Minister.

It will have more power, but...

Less freedom.

We are looking for personalities.

People with a long journey.

No political pirates.

I understand.

The Prime Minister decides the course and needs people to row in the hold.

Mrs. Cuaron, we have summoned you.

because we have nine reports of unhealthiness

and eleven reports of overcrowding

in one year in the Cuaron SA apartments of which you are the administrator.

We have sent several formal notices

that have not been contested.

Are you the owner of Cuaron SA?

Yeah.

Ms. Cuaron's health does not allow her to dedicate time to administrative mail.

But he made the effort to come and talk.

Go ahead, they're listening.

When I left Spain,

in June 1949,

With my parents and my siblings, we had nothing. Nothing.

We found a cabin where we stayed for a year.

It was from a craftsman from Toulouse.

His name was Mr. Pithivier.

He was very kind.

If you allow me...

What he's trying to say

is that he feels the need to help immigrants.

It's touching.

Ma'am, I don't know how much he pays you to use your name,

but before a judge,

will be alone.

But...

I wanted to do a favor for a refugee.

To help you.

You know what they're like.

They organize themselves. They go one after the other.

And I have no control anymore.

- It's... - Occupation.

Yes, that.

They have occupied it.

This is the best.

Last year I worked in security at Tournelles Park.

- It's very big. - Yeah.

With this, you have a range of 10 km.

It is for military use.

Genial.

What's new at Gotham City Hall?

Aside from wearing designer shoes, what do you do?

Do you know Frédéric Esposito?

He's always around. Everyone knows him.

- He's a poor wretch. - A poor wretch?

- He has 30 apartments in Les Bernardins. - Him?

What's up!

He is not the owner.

He works for someone else.

For whom?

- The big fish. - Belkacem.

Hadn't he gone to Dubai?

He still controls the business.

The patera flats give money

and helps control the building.

A coffee?

No, thanks, I'm leaving.

Do you have mine?

- What? - My pen.

Your pretty pen.

Ven.

- I don't feel like watching it. - Calm down, Yaz.

You're not saying anything, Wayne?

Sorry, Kamel.

You didn't steal it from me.

- Leave it. - No, friend.

Forward.

I'm not going to apologize.

Wayne...

I didn't poop in the bathtub!

I went with my sisters because my aunt was sick!

If you had heard how he spoke to me...

And now he's almost crying.

- What did I tell you? - I swear it's true.

I respect you 2000%.

But he's a piece of shit, a son of a...

But what's wrong with you?

Let me!

Damn, he's a minor!

- Calm down. - I'm the head of personnel!

Heal him, take care of him.

- Everything okay? Yes. - Yes. And you?

I'm not hungry.

You have to eat something.

I'll peel it for you.

OK.

Belkacem... Do you believe it?

Yeah.

Do you remember that there was a mess with the Ukrainians in Block B?

They lived in Esposito's apartments.

I thought it was a way to make them pay the rent.

But, well, that doesn't change anything.

It changes everything.

The prosecutor is not interested in the lies of an old woman,

but Belkacem is his dream.

He'll go for it.

I'll sell it to you like Al Capone.

Sorry.

Hello, Jerome.

Hello, Clémence.

Things get complicated.

There will be no more meetings. This is the end.

Sorry, it is what it is.

I know it's a little sudden.

It's okay, I understand.

Like Al Capone?

I see it.

Bring Belkacem down with the patera flats instead of the drugs.

Like Al Capone for tax evasion.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello, Clémence.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello, Clémence.

Start without me.

- Yes? - It's silly to leave it like that.

I had ideas and proposals. I want to be able to explain myself.

I'm sorry, Clémence.

Rushed me.

It's my fault.

Just 20 minutes with the Prime Minister.

No, it's blocked.

Who blocked it?

Guillaume Mars.

He's a sociopath, I don't know what's wrong with him.

Apparently, you talked to him.

- How was it? - Well, I don't know. What are you reproaching me for?

What did you talk about?

Nothing special.

From Les Bernardins?

Of course not.

- What did he say? - Nothing.

He was hostile.

I've played the game, it's tested me,

I was submissive, I practically crawled.

I see.

Have you spoken to the Prime Minister?

I have eaten with him and others.

And?

They mentioned you, but Guillaume was very critical.

About me? How?

It's all the same.

I don't care.

The Prime Minister wants to see me, and suddenly he doesn't.

I want to understand it.

There is nothing to understand.

What did Guillaume say?

He said...

"With it we will not make people dream."

But I think he just wanted to criticize you to put someone else in the spotlight.

Clemency?

Are you okay, Mom?

I've called you ten times.

Don't worry every time I don't answer the phone.

You told me you were coming yesterday.

Yes, I know, sorry. Something came up. Sorry.

Do you have any news?

About the ministry?

It hasn't come out. But it's a relief.

- It's better this way. - Yes?

Don't worry.

There will be more opportunities.

Yes. We'll see.

And how are you?

Clemency?

Are you OK?

Yes and you?

I'm stressed about Saturday.

- The campaign launch. - Yes.

I've written a draft of the speech. I've followed your advice.

You don't have to always listen to me.

Could you take a look at it?

Do you like it?

Yes, but...

Then that's fine, Naidra.

Clemency?

Hello.

- Hasn't Clémence arrived? - No.

Do you know where it is?

I haven't seen her. Maybe she's working from home.

We have to answer this week.

- Very well thank you.

Ven.

How are you?

- Good, and you? - Good.

Al Capone is innocent.

It can't be Belkacem.

Have you spoken to the prosecutor?

Yes, I have spoken to him.

Belkacem was 11 years old when they created Cuaron Inc.

- I'm sorry. - Why?

It was street gossip.

I was foolish to mention it.

No problem, once they validate the plan, I can start the expropriations.

And we'll kick out Esposito and the others.

Jail would be better.

I will continue to nag the prosecutor.

Time is on our side.

Close the door, please.

Is time on our side?

I reintroduce myself.

Is that what was happening?

It was not an easy decision to make.

Isn't it too late already?

No.

What are they saying at the party?

I'll tell Messac on Friday, he's coming to our house for dinner.

I want you to come.

He's going to go crazy.

He won't be amused, that's for sure.

Dinner will have to be spectacular.

But why?

You see how much remains to be done here.

I don't know how I thought of leaving him?

Don't worry.

I won't kidnap you.

You have a whole career ahead of you.

You know how to do everything here,

but you've never run a campaign.

And doing it at the party headquarters in Paris gives it cachet.

And Naidra?

I'll talk to her.

Don't worry, we'll do it right.

It is extraordinary.

But it's hard.

Naidra is very young.

Are you afraid of being alone?

As your son leaves home...

Forget about psychology.

I want a good election.

All right, the E305, there's Babayaro, 370.

Siaka, 310.

N'Gozi, 330.

Garang, 190. Liberians, 420.

And the E315?

There is still work to be done.

The door needs replacing and the bathroom needs finishing.

We need to fill it up. Quickly.

- Have you paid Mrs. Cuaron? - Yes.

I listened to the mayor's speech.

A hysteric.

She's crazy.

She or the other...

But that plan doesn't suit us.

His strategy to bring down the administrator... Will it work?

Have you asked the lawyer?

He doesn't know. It's a complicated issue.

And Chaumette?

Does he know you?

I know who he is. But we've never spoken.

The curious thing is that there is less traffic after Porte de Bagnolet.

We are gaining speed.

We relax listening to music.

And Mozart reveals the splendor of that Pompidou-style belt.

And suddenly, we come to a crossroads and I start to worry.

I look at the app to see which exit will take me to the promised land.

And just at that moment, I get a call on my cell phone.

The President.

I had been waiting for your call for two days.

to validate ten investitures.

But at the same time, I couldn't miss the exit.

Miro a Catherine...

I try to look up the itinerary on my phone.

A huge truck starts honking its horn.

- There wasn't enough time. - I have to make a decision.

And we take exit 7a.

Oh, serious error!

You don't even need to say it.

And before I could say a word,

I hear the President say, "I'll call you later."

And hangs up.

How awful.

It took us 50 minutes to cover the last four kilometers.

You learn to be patient.

You, patience?

Infinite patience.

And determined.

Infinite and determined patience?

It is the weapon of the poor.

And from the suburbs.

Are you going to stay here?

Don't you feel like changing?

I'm going to introduce myself again.

It's a joke?

I can't leave him.

Not now. Yazid and I have talked about it a lot.

It would be crazy to leave now.

What nonsense are you talking?

- Pierre... - Sorry, dear.

Clémence, the campaign starts tomorrow.

The party and you chose Naidra.

You won't be able to convince her to resign.

I don't need Naidra or the party to win.

It's not up to par.

That's not true and you know it.

It meets all the requirements.

I thought you were different from the rest, but you would sell your soul for power.

I've won here twice. I've dedicated 12 years. Respect that.

I respect those who keep their word.

A year ago, I asked you if you wanted to change your mind and continue.

Now it's too late.

I launch my campaign on the 22nd.

All right. We're off.

No.

Congratulations on the ambush.

How long has it been since we came?

How long has it been since you last spoke?

How many times have you forgotten to call her?

Yeah.

That's how you behave.

Like a princess.

Pierre is right.

There is always time for those we appreciate.

I'm always in a tunnel.

I'm sorry, Catherine.

Don't worry.

Sr. Chaumette, I am Frédéric Leroux.

- I'm sorry to introduce myself like this. - I can't help you.

I represent a taxpayers' association in District 93.

Some are concerned about public funds.

What association is it?

Surveillance 93.

- It doesn't ring a bell. Is he a politician? - No.

It is a citizens' initiative.

Especially for the subject of Les Bernardins.

I know he has tightened the screws and that has not pleased everyone.

I heard the mayor and the owners are going to sue him.

It's pure demagoguery on the part of the mayor.

Incredible.

So, what? Are you going to defend yourself?

I'm not worried.

And he said, "I'm not moving"?

Or something like that,

"Call the cops, I'm not moving."

- I never said that. - Yes.

- First of all, I don't say "cops." - That's true.

"You'll have to call law enforcement to get me out."

I had no choice, especially with Yazid by my side.

Because?

For him it's not just cement.

It's his childhood.

- Did you grow up there? - Yes.

I lived happily, I lacked nothing.

Politics is made with what you are.

And to politics...

How did you get here?

Obama.

When he was first elected,

Yazid played CNN all night at the town hall.

He translated it live.

Do you speak English?

Barack Obama speaks fluently.

Will you give us a speech?

Come on.

The correspondents' dinner with Trump.

- Everyone's seen it. - Not me.

But what's going on?

Because being a minority, do I have to have an Obama poster in my room?

Alright...

Not a speech, a story.

Alice Palmer.

I don't know her.

Obama before Obama. His first campaign.

Chicago, 1996.

Barack is a professor of Constitutional Law

and at the same time he is active in disadvantaged neighborhoods

with its marginal areas.

The goal you have in mind

is to be elected to the Illinois Assembly

where there is a certain Alice Palmer.

Who is Alice Palmer?

She is black,

He was an important figure in civil rights as a young man

and is part of the progressive branch of the Democrats.

He gives his blessing to Obama to be his successor.

Why do you give him that gift?

Because she has a national ambition.

Their target is Congress.

Introduces you to people,

begins to help him seek financial support.

Just that...

Alice Palmer must face

to a new competitor in the race for Congress,

the son of Jesse Jackson, a companion of Martin Luther King.

A heavyweight.

What happens next?

¿Pierre?

¿Catherine?

Jackson's son beats Alice Palmer

and wants his position back.

Exact.

The party is pressuring Obama to resign.

But he refuses.

He's been door-to-door for six months, shaking hands 24 hours a day.

Beneath his good looks and white teeth, he is ruthless.

And there is a confrontation.

A massacre.

Everything is at stake in the last 24 hours with the sponsorship of the candidacy.

Alice Palmer, starting late, had to cheat.

Barack smells it and asks his team

to examine each sponsorship.

And it turns out that out of 2000, half were not valid.

File a claim.

And Alice Palmer's candidacy is invalidated by the electoral committee.

Curtain.

And what happened to Alice Palmer?

It became a few lines in the biography of the greatest politician in history.

You hadn't told me that one.

I like it.

Hola, Sr. Kupka.

What do you want?

He was worried. He wanted to know if I was okay.

Because?

Because of the pine tree in his ass.

The thorns must hurt.

The mayor gave a good speech to the people of Bernardins.

It seems so.

He had no compassion. It lasted for hours.

Those politicians...

I can't get used to that level of cynicism.

Mr. Chaumette, I don't understand.

All the mayor's nonsense...

is it a lie?

Of course.

She knows that idea of kicking me out is a bluff.

That match was already played a long time ago in Echirolles.

And I saw that game.

I have read the case law.

I was interested at the time and...

REORGANIZATION: 4 NEW MINISTERS, 6 SECRETARIES OF STATE

Okay, you can post it.

- ¿Diga? - Write.

Help me. The city council is screwing me.

My report is perfect.

The best possible price.

What are you talking about, Kamel?

Security for the volleyball championship.

Yeah.

I've submitted everything and they've rejected me. Can you explain it to me?

Can I call you back later? I don't have time now.

Don't come to me with that.

It is important for my company.

You know I don't deal with that.

What kind of bastard do you have to pay to get a public contract?

Yazid, do me a favor for once in your life.

What is the principle of the bidding commission?

I don't know, choose the best offer.

And avoid pressure, so stop bothering me.

How are you?

The plan has failed.

That?

Because?

The monthly charges.

Haven't they paid?

Not enough.

Kupka must have noticed.

He doesn't answer calls.

It's over.

We will not have a subsidy.

- There are still a few days left. - No.

The President will referee the event tomorrow at 11:30 a.m.

and then he will announce it.

What did Narvaux say?

I've been called from your office.

Did he say it's over?

It's not official, but it is true.

Call him.

- To whom? - To Narvaux.

No.

You have to talk in person.

It's no use, it's too late.

You don't know that.

Yes I know.

- As long as there's no arbitration... - Hey.

First, we win the elections and then we fight.

We will get that grant.

- What did he want? - Fuck, Clémence.

Give him the ball back.

I don't know how he works.

There is nothing left to do today.

But why don't you try it?

Because it's no use.

That guy is a coward.

The Ministry of Economy bothers you, so do we even more!

It's over.

We are talking about 63 million euros.

Are you just going to let them pass by without doing anything?

I wasn't raised that way and neither are you.

Enough is enough!

I'm trying to understand you.

No, you're lecturing me.

Are you going to tell me another one of your beautiful stories?

You take every opportunity to show how clever you are.

In politics you also have to know how to use your legs.

- Oh yeah? - Yes, yeah.

So you can go to the Serbian party for me.

I have a lot of work.

We can win votes there too.

Hello.

Yazid Jabbi.

Enchanted.

Also.

Hello.

Yazid Jabbi, from the city council.

Would you like something to drink?

Yes, thank you very much.

Hello. I'll have the same as him.

Isn't that so?

That means "Fuck your mother." Is that it?

They are giving all the time.

What does it mean?

Your origins, your blood and your family.

The entire family tree. That's very complete.

It is exhaustive.

A milk? Yazid?

Yes, a strong punch.

He bled a lot.

You will have reported it.

I took the kid to the hospital to get stitches.

They found a broken zygomatic bone. Show it to him.

Have you gone to the police?

I thought about it.

My boys were witnesses.

But I appreciate Yazid. We've known each other since we were kids.

And unlike others, I want her to be re-elected.

I'm lost.

What are they doing here?

To speak sincerely.

Your chief of staff has assaulted a minor.

Can you imagine what chaos?

Today, with social media, everything is known very quickly.

It would be a shame to spoil the election because of that.

They said opening a "second chance" school was impossible.

They said that rehabilitating block 44 was impossible.

Reducing the city's debt without raising taxes was impossible.

For us, "impossible" is a challenge to will and ingenuity.

We know why we love this city,

why we keep fighting and why we will never give up.

To victory!

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Where were you?

Your friend Kamel

He went to see Clémence with a kid who he says you hit.

He has threatened to report you.

I didn't hit him.

Yes.

The truth is not the problem.

I'm sorry, Clémence.

I didn't hit him.

I know.

Was Wayne the one who caused the damage in Oléron?

I don't think so.

The solution is simple.

You kick me out and report me for attempted extortion.

Be transparent for your campaign.

I could have done it, but that's not the decision I made.

- What do you mean? - I mean

that Kamel takes a part of the security

and no one will report you.

Thank you.

It's a very small "thank you."

I'm leaving, Clémence.

I'm not at the level of the campaign.

It will be easier without me.

¡Sr. Write!

I'm late, I was with the kids. Did I miss the speech?

- I have to go. - Wait.

I know who the speculator is.

Who?

Darth Vader. You wanted to know who Esposito's boss was.

I had to be nice to a very stupid ex.

His name is Jean-Marc Forgeat. His address.

You are welcome.

Neighbors help each other.

Don't beat him up.

Let's see if it's flexible.

That is.

The leg...

It moves well.

We're going to release you.

You deserve it.

Don't worry, Mrs. Vogel,

His leg doesn't hurt anymore. Look.

Thank you, doctor.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Hello. Did you have an appointment?

Because I'm closing.

- Is this Mr. Forgeat? - Yes.

What do you want?

A little information.

I'm looking for an apartment.

In Les Bernardins.

Can you help me?

I'm sorry.

I need about 10 square meters,

for 600 or 700 euros, unhealthy, of course, con...

bedbugs and cockroaches.

Get out of here.

Find it for me.

- Should I give you a ride? - I'm walking. See you tomorrow.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

- Pierre? - How are you?

Okay. I just launched the campaign.

The Prime Minister just told me off, so listen to me.

I'm listening.

Do you want to continue in politics? No problem.

But you have to change stores.

We have a proposal for you.

There is no better position than that of mayor.

Well, I've heard you wanted to be a minister.

We propose the Senate to you.

It's not a proposal, it's a gift.

Give the position to Naidra

and within 10 months, you will have a seat in the Senate.

The Senate is an elephant graveyard.

I'm asking for five minutes, Michel.

Only five.

Hello, Karine.

Tomorrow there is a meeting at the Elysées

to decide the fate of Les Bernardins.

It's all going to be played out in just a few minutes, but we can still win.

I propose you the biggest heist in history.

And 80%...

I know.

Clémence lied. So did I.

Sit down.

Thank you, Karine.

Michel, you were right.

And also about Clémence and me. But she doesn't know I'm here.

Chaumette must be paid.

People believed it. I had the checks.

I broke them.

It doesn't matter.

It's almost 9:00 p.m., the ideal time.

Let's go floor by floor.

We collect the checks, you pay

and tomorrow we will know if we get the grant.

And if not, you return the checks.

There is nothing to lose.

- No no.

Did Esposito give it to you?

Yeah.

Those politicians... I can't get used to that level of cynicism.

Mr. Chaumette, I don't understand.

All the mayor's nonsense...

is it a lie?

Of course.

She knows that idea of kicking me out is a bluff.

That match was already played a long time ago in Echirolles.

Have you left everything for this?

I've seen Esposito's boss. He's a very nice vet.

He works in a nice clinic where he treats dogs.

when he's not exploiting undocumented immigrants.

And since the city council screwed you, now you let those bastards screw you?

And you stay so calm?

What do we do now, Michel? Do we give up?

I do not agree.

You won't get the 160 checks today.

People go to bed early.

Hi, sorry to bother you. I don't know if we've met.

I'm Yazid Jabbi and I work at the city council.

Especially in the renovation plan for this complex.

Are you a property owner?

My brother.

- Can I talk to him? - He's not here.

It will be on Friday.

Okay, good evening. Thank you.

I'm sorry if I bothered you. Goodbye.

No...

They have a baby.

Come. I have the list at home.

- We'll do our best by phone. - Thank you.

Don't waste your breath.

You'll need it.

I just want to see Naidra.

When I call her, she yells at me.

"Let's make way for youth"?

You dye your hair, so don't talk.

Do you realize that you're going to give the neighborhood to our enemies?

Naidra and you neutralize each other. You're both going to fail.

You will finish your career like everyone else,

with a defeat that you will regret for the rest of your life.

How is Catherine?

Fantastic. And Yazid?

He's not my partner.

I already realized it the other day.

Are you feeling better?

I've kicked him out.

Can I keep it?

It is bright, with an interesting profile.

Do you think he would be interested in joining a ministry team?

It's his dream.

I've held him back too long. I think he hates me a little.

In Paris I would be like a fish in water.

It will take time,

but we will manage to renew everything.

The structure, the heating,

the elevator, the paint, the insulation...

That will make it cleaner and safer.

We are talking about 63 million euros.

Throughout.

It's not official.

- Are you from the city council? - Yes.

I'm not going to give him a check.

This is not the first time we have been sold dreams.

This is not a dream, it's real.

Do you think it will work?

I have no doubt.

The director of Greater Paris is committed...

They have been engaged for 10 years.

Yes, but I'm not talking about 10 years,

but 24 hours.

Thanks for calling me.

His name is Yazid.

It will be there in 10 minutes.

Go to building C,

eighth floor.

Bouzini.

No, we're not going to play you, I promise.

No, it can't wait, it's tomorrow morning.

Good night. Sorry, did I wake you?

The President? Really?

He will not examine the entire project, but he will validate it.

It is an arbitration.

Happens.

Sorry to bother you at this hour.

- It's okay. - Good night.

You are welcome.

- Thank God.

Thank God.

Hello, ma'am.

Thank you, Mrs. Gorakis.

Show me your suit.

It's beautiful.

You work a lot at the city hall.

You were always good at studying.

I'll keep you posted.

Mrs. Ben Youssef only has half.

It's all the same.

95, 96, 97...

There are not even 100.

I have to go to work.

I'll get myself together.

He only took the cash.

How much was there?

4530.

- I call him, but I can't find him. - Me too.

Does Yazid have money problems?

He's not home.

The neighbors haven't seen him.

But Justyna from reception saw him this morning at Les Bernardins.

I was with Kupka.

What do we do?

Clemency?

Did you call the police?

No.

I'll take care of it.

See you this week.

Have a nice day. Bye.

I need to know what each of the owners owes.

- In Les Bernardins? - Yes.

What's going on here?

I need a receipt.

A receipt? For whom?

To get the grant.

Aim. 97 magnificent checks.

That won't be enough, Mr. Jabbi.

No, but...

There are 4500 euros in cash.

The owners agree to pay.

I'll get the rest tonight. I just need a receipt.

There is a meeting at the Elysées at 11:30 a.m.

Sr. Chaumette...

Aren't you fed up already?

Don't you want it all to be over?

Everyone would like to have a magic wand.

Well...

How much do I have left?

About 20 checks. The higher amounts.

How much time do the Sayadas have left?

634,30.

How do we know you can afford it?

You just have to put it in writing.

You have to put the usual phrase:

"Received today, X euros, subject to check acceptance, blah, blah, blah."

You risk nothing, you are covered.

Hello, you've reached Yazid Jabbi.

Leave your message and I'll call you back right away.

Yazid, call me.

What are you doing? What are you trying to prove? Fuck.

Hi sir.

Hello.

May I have some ID, please?

Yazid Jabbi. My passport. And my city hall card.

Perfect.

I don't have an appointment, but I need to meet.

with Jérôme Narvaux, from Greater Paris.

Meets with the President in 30 minutes

and I have to see it.

Could you tell him I'm here?

I'm sorry, sir, but that's not possible.

I have to deliver a key document to you for the President's arbitration.

I understand.

Call your contact and have him call your chief of staff.

to allow me access.

That's exactly what I did,

but he doesn't respond, I think his cell phone is off.

I know him well.

I just need to talk for two minutes.

Just tell him I'm here. I'm not moving, I'm waiting for him.

Sorry. Good morning, Mr. Verdier.

Okay. I understand.

I only ask one thing.

Can you give him this document?

The future of some 3,000 people depends on this.

You have to give it to Mr. Narvaux.

Please.

I'm sorry, sir.

I must ask you to leave.

Please.

- Have a nice day. - Likewise.

Well...

I wanted to thank you both for coming.

We're not going to pretend, Naidra.

What I told you I can tell Clémence.

What he did to you is disgusting.

There is no other word.

I serve a party that has rules.

Without rules there is no renewal and without renewal there is no democracy.

If not, this is the jungle.

Ma'am. I'm Yazid Jabbi, do you remember me?

Bernardins' plan in the commission. He asked me a question.

You are wrong.

- Don't you work with Jérôme Narvaux? - Not at all.

Sorry.

I know Jérôme.

Could you give this to him? Please, it's important.

Call Clémence Collombet before the meeting.

It's urgent. She's waiting for your call.

Do you remember when I introduced you to my father?

Yes, we ate together at L'Alexandrie.

It was in the month of June.

Yes, it was seven or eight years ago.

He was afraid I would get into politics.

But you reassured him.

You told him that you would protect me.

Yes, I remember it perfectly.

What does it feel like?

Aren't you ashamed?

I think that would help me understand how your mind works.

One day you will understand.

Am I too young?

That's part of the problem.

But you will change, you have no choice.

You will use the best and the worst of you.

You chose this life, Naidra.

It's you who hurts me by hating me like this.

You know mentioning your father won't make me quit.

- Clémence... - I'll be a candidate no matter what.

- Wait. - We're here to talk about Naidra.

And your youth is part of the solution.

You will be mayor, but you will have to wait.

Let's campaign together.

I am elected, you are still my deputy.

I'll pass the baton to you halfway through my term.

It's neither very glorious nor very inventive, but it helps us avoid the massacre.

¿No?

Naidra...

If neither of you makes an effort, you will both lose.

Clémence ruins her career and you haven't even started it.

Here in the jungle, there are few options left.

I propose a middle ground.

The first three years for Clémence,

the rest for Naidra.

AND...

Are you going to ask me to distribute leaflets for your campaign?

Jerome?

I have a meeting. What did you want?

What are you talking to me about?

It's a joke?

No, what's wrong?

The receipt for the charges. Your personnel manager is here.

¿Yazid?

It's late, Clémence.

Clemency?

Have you seen the President?

I'll see it now.

Perfect, so you can keep our deal.

Our deal...

It's never too late to keep your word.

We've paid, now it's your turn.

No, Clemence.

It's over.

You were excited to think that you could change my life.

Clémence, I've already told you.

I'm sorry.

You can't create a minister.

But you can save a neighborhood and it is much more important.

How do you expect me to do it? Who do I take the millions from?

In Melun, in Grigny, in St. Denis?

Robbing some to pay others?

I don't care, do what you want.

But keep your word.

Clémence, I have work to do. I'll leave you.

Do you still want me to step down so I can give her the job?

Call the Prime Minister.

So that?

To call Narvaux immediately

and that validates the rescue plan of Les Bernardins.

There's an arbitration at the Elysées in two minutes.

In exchange, I retire.

It's not that we don't care, but you're mixing things up.

Let's pick up the conversation where we left off.

If you don't call him, forget what we said.

I'll be running without a party. Sorry, Naidra.

You're crazy.

Completely crazy.

I'm not going to obey a crazy woman who doesn't know what she wants.

Come on, make a little effort and you'll finally get rid of the crazy woman.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started.

Yes of course.

Alright.

I'll take care of it, Prime Minister.

Jerome...

We have to talk about Les Bernardins.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS: CLÉMENCE COLLOMBET RESIGNS...

That's here.

Michel...

...the Seine et Marne region, La Grande Borne,

Le Clos St Lazare and Les Bernardins

and Seine-Saint-Denis.

In total, 380 million euros will be allocated

to save those neighborhoods

from degradation.

According to forecasts, 100,000...
