TORMENT

It's there.

Oops! Ah!

How's that?

Impeccable.

Alright.

You have visitors.

So, are we bothering?

Nope.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

- You're proud, huh? - It's not finished yet.

- Wanna see? - That's why we're here.

Follow the guide.

- It's really big. - You haven't seen anything yet.

There,

that'll be my apartment...

with 2 children's bedrooms, at least.

Good idea.

Let's go there. There's a room almost finished.

- It must cost a bundle, right? - Here.

No?

Mm, they are super comfortable.

Because I redid the bedding.

Where did you get the money for all this?

Uh, first of, I've been working here for 15 years.

So, I've saved some money.

And there's the money my mom left me.

- Ah. - And...

4/5ths is a donation from my bank.

So, I'm in debt up to here.

Got a light?

Alright.

Oh!

Grandmother, Grandfather!

Ah!

Ah, oh!

Next year, I'm building a pontoon.

Yes, a pontoon!

I'll get you an electric razor if you like.

Not really. This is good.

Come on, come here.

Come, son.

Yes!

Come, my baby. Come.

Coming here. Come, come, come, come.

Yes, my baby. Yes, my baby.

Yes.

Nelly, come see. He can walk!

Yes, I know he can walk.

No, no, no, no.

- Wait, turn off the light. - Well, why?

I like it better.

Turn off that light too.

Oh, no.

That's not true.

It makes you laugh, huh?

I'm not going to cry.

- What's wrong with him again? - Maybe, it's just a nightmare.

I'm going, I won't be long.

What are you doing here?

The baby's crying...

prevents me from sleeping.

I'm having trouble sleeping lately.

Oh, what are you doing here?

What was it?

Just a nightmare. Come back to bed.

Come.

Hey, are you coming to bed?

Yeah.

Come now.

Mm.

- Hey. - Hm?

You seem to have lost your mood.

And my sleep. I haven't slept all night.

Mm, but you will go to sleep.

Okay, I'll get you a sleeping pill.

I am the queen of sleeping pills.

Here.

You work too much, Paul.

You're tired. That's why you're edgy.

The pills will make you sleep well.

- Turn off the light. - Hm?

Turn off the light.

- Hold on. - Oh, yes.

Drink your chocolate while it's still warm.

Yes.

Here.

Eat.

Good morning!

- Did you sleep well? - Very well, very well.

My husband is a sensitive sleeper,

and yet, didn't even hear the planes.

Yes, they are not very annoying. You get used to them very fast.

It's not just my sleep that's sensitive.

It's a wonderful place here.

You open the window in the morning, there is a joy.

I'm so pleased hear that.

Come back again next season?

My husband really wants that.

Great. If you plan to come...

between June and October,

you have to let me know a month in advance...

to get a good room.

Uh, the same room, if possible.

Of course.

I'll leave you. Enjoy your meal.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Finish your chocolate.

Here. Hurry up.

Give me a kiss.

Thank you.

Your cheek is full of chocolate.

Never mind that. Say, are you running late?

No, Vincent wanted hot chocolate.

But, you'll be late, my son.

- I'm always early. - Yes, let's keep it that way.

Come anyway. Come on.

- Are you coming back soon? - No, I have errands to run.

Mm.

- For the hotel? - No, for me.

And Clothilde is coming around 10 a.m. to do the accounting.

Bye, son.

Mm-mm.

This is just a sample, you know.

Open your mouth wide, son.

Say: Aah.

Ah.

- Again. - Aah.

Watch out for sleeping pills.

It can play tricks on you.

It's nothing, just a little strep throat.

You see, I told you.

- You can open the curtains, Nelly. - Yes.

He thought it was throat cancer.

I don't know what's gotten into him.

He makes big deal out of everything,

for no reason.

But, it's not for my pleasure.

Inevitably, he doesn't know how to relax.

I have "strep throat", Daddy.

It's not about relaxing.

Then tell me what it is.

Uh, I don't know.

Here's the prescription.

Oh, yes.

If you go back to town with the doctor,

and you can buy the medicine, and pick up the car.

- Do you mind, doctor? - No. But, we have to leave now.

Hey, you're leaving without giving me a kiss?

Oh, yes. That's right.

Ah, Mrs. Vernon,

- Mr. Vernon, you're back. - I'll be waiting downstairs.

We told you we would come back.

I got you the same room, but it wasn't easy.

- Enjoy your stay. - Come, my dear.

- Let's go see the panorama. - I'm running.

Clothilde, you've finished the mail?

No, not yet, Mr. Prieur.

I had to do the insurance security first.

Didn't my wife do that this morning?

No. She was at the lake all morning.

Hey, hurry. I have to give these X-rays to Mrs. Point.

Mr. Prieur, if you please.

Could you tell that little girl to go play elsewhere?

Yes, of course.

- Your X-rays, Mrs. Point. - Thank you very much.

Kid, be nice. Go play somewhere else.

Mrs. Point needs to rest.

Where can I go?

Listen, go over there, on the pavement.

It's better for skating.

Have you ever been skating there?

Well, just go.

Life is too short to deprive ourselves.

That's right.

Me, I don't deprive myself.

Hey, Julien, two cognacs.

And one for the boss!

- Something to drink, doctor? - Never, while on duty.

Just like the cops.

Not for me either, then!

Uh, Mr. Martineau, I'm going to town,

is my car repaired?

Dunno, I don't work weekends.

Hey, should I put the stuff in the Mercedes?

No, no.

- Did my dad tell you when? - Yesterday.

Then, it's been fixed since yesterday.

Our shop is reliable.

Good.

- It's not serious, the kid? - No, no. He's fine.

Nelly can come down, then.

No, she should stay with him.

We want to take her to waterski.

She did really good this morning. That's a shame.

Another time, huh? Okay?

This is what it's like to have kids.

I told you, huh? Better be careful.

- Excuse me, but... - Yes, sorry.

Well, I'm going to see my friend.

No, she has to work.

Just go have fun.

Are you a little mean to customers?

She's a friend.

I hope she knows that.

It's nothing serious for Vincent?

It's not him that worries me, it's you taking sleeping pills.

I wish I didn't need them.

Be careful, old friend.

You don't drink much, do you?

Well, you know, it's hard to turn down a good lemonade.

Do you have any hassles?

Hassles?

Yes. Like everyone else, money woes.

How's the hotel business?

It spins as much as it can.

But, I'm not sick, doctor.

Your competitors hurt your business?

Pff!

They're amateurs.

They are doing well, too, right?

I believe they get by.

It's not hard.

You bribe the bus drivers, you get customers.

You break your back for years to build a proper business,

and just when it gets going,

some bozo shows up and steals your customers.

You find it normal?

Or you find it fair?

Ah, Mr. Duhamel, you don't waste any time.

Oh, Mr. Prieur.

It's the magic hour.

Things are still themselves,

but you can feel they're about to transform.

You don't use a camcorder?

Never, never, Mr. Prieur.

The film and the big screen, that's it!

Pardon.

What's new?

The Duchemins called to complain.

Hm, they should have reserved sooner, these assholes.

I'll write them a note.

And the mayor of Villeneuve marries his daughter on Saturday.

- 35 guests. - Very good.

Did you tell my wife?

No, I called the apartment, but no answer.

She must be in Vincent's room.

Uh, no. No, no, it is Julia who feeds the little one.

Well, it doesn't matter. I'm bringing him the medicine.

Is that you, Paul? What's going on?

It's nice of Martineau to show me his photos.

In the dark?

Yes, it makes it better. It's amazing how good it looks.

You have the medicine?

Have you looked what time it is?

It's 8:15!

They're waiting for you to help serve.

Already?

Excuse me.

Did you get your car back?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Hello, Mr. Paul. Get some fresh air?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Yes, very.

Hold the line.

Mr. Paul?

Mr. Paul!

Mr. Paul!

Mr. Paul!

So, do you know what to expect?

No.

She didn't look guilty.

No, she didn't.

Does that reassure you?

But, to do it...

in the lounge? She's not that stupid.

Of course not.

She's not stupid, no.

- Does the menu suit you? - Yes. It's perfect.

Meat in the evening, it's scary.

May I have an omelette?

Yes, of course. What do you want on it?

Ham, fine herbs, cheese?

No, nothing at all.

Just eggs.

Just eggs.

Thank you.

Where were you? We looked everywhere.

I went for a walk.

I didn't feel well.

- What's wrong? - Just tired, nothing bad.

But, it's over now.

Alright.

A natural omelette with nothing on it.

A bottle of Gaillac.

- Right away? - Right away.

I'll take those, Mr. Duhamel. We'll put it up at your place.

Oh, no, you won't. These are all mine.

I went on a shopping spree today.

Oh, yes, my lady.

It's the privilege of pretty women to ruin us.

Hi, sweetie!

You're better, it seems.

- Have you been good? - An angel.

Here.

It's good for angina.

Hey, what do you say?

Oh, let's not ask too much.

- This belongs to you. - Yes.

I bet, it's a nightgown.

- And see-through. - Ah!

In any case, thank you for keeping me company.

My dear, it was a pleasure.

And don't hesitate...

to let me know on your next expedition.

Aren't you overdoing it a little?

Doing what? It's good for business.

There is no harm.

Hey, you.

Time for bath.

- Do you still have a sore throat? - Nope.

Yes, give me the other foot.

Ooh, you're filthy.

Did you pay for the printer repair?

Yes, of course, right after lunch.

He's crazy, then. He called at 3 p.m. for his check.

At 3 p.m.? I might have stopped by just after that.

Come on, it's finished.

Were you at your mother's house at 3 p.m.?

Huh? No, I was not.

Didn't you have lunch at her house?

Hold on.

I'm not putting this on you. It's too hot.

So, you didn't have lunch at her house?

Not when she has a beginner, practicing for hours. No, thanks.

No, I ate with Marilyn.

We made the dinette in the shop.

Come on, my little prince.

- Ah, it's stuck or what? There. - Yes.

Go downstairs like a big boy,

and ask Clothilde to make you dinner,

or ask Mariette, huh?

- Okay? - Yes.

And give Daddy a kiss.

I want to take a shower.

You're coming?

And what about the customers?

Which customers?

While you were eating at the boutique.

Well, I didn't see anyone. Must be a slow day.

Hm.

Until 3 p.m.?

Uh, I don't spend my time looking at the clock.

Wait, let me look at you a little closer.

Mm-hm.

Mm, show me.

- I have nothing to show. - But, let's see.

Come into the light.

What is it?

It's not true.

What?

You're jealous?

Hmm, jealous. Yes.

- That's it. - Yes, I'm jealous.

Oh.

I'm glad that you're jealous.

It proves that you care about me.

Mm.

Wow!

Oh, that's not all, but I'm getting cold.

Hey, jealous.

Well, it's still bothering you then?

Excuse me.

- It's pure curiosity. - Yeah.

It's pretty, right?

- Yes, it must cost a fortune. - Guess the price.

5000 francs.

You're nuts or something?

Where would I get 5000 francs?

- But-- - Rub me instead of talking nonsense.

And hard.

Mm!

Mm.

What?

How much did you pay for your bag?

Ah, when you have an idea in your head,

it's not going away, is it?

1500 francs. There.

- Does it amaze you? - Yes, it blows me away.

Yes, but he is tough, Father Montignac.

Come on, rub me in new area.

Hm?

- Is there any mail? - Yes, a letter from my brother.

Is he in France?

Uh, in Germany, in Koblenz.

I'm saving the stamp for my dressmaker's son.

I'll drop if off.

What? You're going out? Where are you going?

To my mom's.

- Again? - But, I told you, she's not well.

I promised to go give her a hand.

You said that to me?

Hey,

you know, the doctor is right. You are not well.

My bus! I can't miss it.

Tell him, I'm coming. See you tonight.

Eugene!

Wait for my wife, she's coming.

Okay, boss.

Alibi here.

No, don't do it.

Don't do it. Be careful.

Don't do it. Take care yourself!

Take care yourself!

Yes!

If she's not at her mother's, you'll know for sure.

But, she's out giving a piano lesson in town.

And yes, she had get up earlier.

Paul!

Come here!

Watch out!

In the moon, my love, in the moon.

- What are you doing? - Waiting for Mom.

Isn't she ill?

Yes. But, you know her, she can't stop.

How about you, what are you doing here?

Is the kid sick?

No.

I was passing by.

Why you did come to town?

Credit hotelier, you see, which...

Credit hotelier?

I don't want to upset you, but it's at the other end of town.

And where is the car?

Huh? What? Joan of Arc Square.

At the bus station?

But, it's not possible. You've been following me, Paul.

Why? Because I would have reasons to follow you?

No.

But, if you continue, I could give it to you.

Come on, that's silly.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

Tell me something nice.

How's your brother? Does he still like Germany?

He sends you his kiss.

Okay. And apart from that?

Come on, read me his prose a little. Let's have fun.

Oh, how stupid I am!

Uh, Mom has it.

Wasn't she out?

Yes, I put the letter in the box.

Yes, you always have a good excuse, like with your bag.

You paid 4000 francs for it. I called.

kudos for the trust.

Truth is, I hit a trifecta.

I won big on Sunday.

You play trifecta?

Yes, from time to time.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I played with Marilyn, and don't want you to blame her.

Where did you play?

Over there.

At the cafe.

After the bridge.

They are closed until Wednesday or Thursday.

The grandmother died.

But mostly, they have water leakage problems.

♪ I will wait for you all night. ♪

♪ Jealousy for only company. ♪

Paul?

Paul, is that you?

It's over now.

More than 421, nothing more.

More cards,

I close.

What's wrong with you, Paul? What's happened?

You had an accident? You're ill?

Shut your mouth.

Answer me. Say something.

You hurt?

Where were you, Paul?

Don't stay like that, you're scaring me.

Can I, can I, can I help you?

Do you want to be left alone?

What's going on, Paul?

We've been looking everywhere for you.

Along the highway, by the lake,

downtown, at the police station,

at the hospital.

I didn't leave the phone.

If you had seen me, I cried like a fountain.

All the customers pitched in too, yet nothing, nothing, nothing.

When they came back, I didn't even dare to ask them.

And then the night fell, and I...

Oh, shit.

Ah, you're here!

You're here!

You are here, you are here.

You are here.

Oh!

My poor, my poor Nelly!

I saw you,

Martineau and you,

on the river.

Yes.

So what?

Please, I don't want to discuss it.

I believe, you know what you've done.

It's that enough for you?

Huh?

You went down to the island to play cards?

I saw you.

I saw you both.

But, what did you see?

Is that why you ran off like a madman?

I've been shaking all day?

Is that why you put yourself in this state?

Of course, we stopped on the island.

But, that was for me to rest. That's all.

Lying in the grass?

No.

Standing on one leg!

Look at me, you fool!

Look at me!

Are you gonna look at me?

Huh?

Can't you see that I love you?

That I'm your wife?

Have you seen my eyes?

They are beautiful, huh?

It is for you that I cried. It's for you.

I thought, "What would I become if he didn't come back?

Without him, I'd be nothing."

Nothing.

No, never.

No.

You don't love me anymore.

Leave me alone.

If I didn't love you,

if I didn't love you, I wouldn't be here.

Me too, I would want to die,

if you were gone.

Oh,

Paul!

You see,

that's what hurts so bad.

It's over now.

Tell me, Paul.

Promise me, Paul.

I'm here. Shh.

Shh.

Shh. Shh.

I love you. Shh.

Come, my little angel.

Come.

- Mm! - Mm!

What are you dreaming about?

Paul. No.

- It's over now. - No.

It's over, my dear.

It's over, it's over.

It's over, it's over.

It's over, it's over.

It's over. It's over now.

It's over now. It's over, it's over.

It's over, it's over.

It's over.

It's over.

It's over, it's over.

It's over.

720. Where is--?

And here.

Ah, you're already here?

- No time to waste. - Mm.

What's this?

Ah, Paul!

Look, Clothilde.

It's gold!

- Should I try it? - A little, yes.

- Wow! - Well.

It must cost a fortune, this one?

- The merchant told me it was old. - I think, it looks good on you.

- Yes. - I'm changing clothes.

Uh, no madam. No, we're full this weekend.

Wait, Clothilde.

Give them room 4.

What? Martineau's room?

Yes. He called. This week, he's not coming.

Excuse us, madam. There's been a cancellation.

Yes. Very well. We are expecting you on Saturday.

Thank you. It's noted, madam.

See you.

Pfft!

These shirts won't last another winter.

I will buy you some new ones.

Oh dear, it's full of holes.

hen did Martineau call?

He didn't call. It was I who called him.

I told Clothilde about it.

I told him not to come back.

It's better that way, right?

We can't keep this pillowcase anymore.

I told him you didn't like his attitude at all.

Neither am I.

I swear he understood.

Did you fall on your head?

Why did you call that jerk?

What will people say about me?

He will tell everyone.

I'm afraid of being cuckolded, a coward,

that I get my wife to do the dirty work!

But, you were so upset. Want that to continue?

But also, I will look like an idiot to everyone.

But, you said, he'll be too embarrassed,

Martineau's not going...

to shout it on all the rooftops, huh?

Yeah. That's your opinion.

Is that what worries you?

People's opinions, gossip?

It's great way to show your love.

You can keep your jewels!

Well, help me!

Stopped! Listen!

Forgive me! I was wrong.

But!

Pfft! I can't even take it off.

Ow!

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Hey, that's my doll. You didn't permission to take it.

- You're mean. - It's you the naughty one.

Your son is a poet.

He said it was a train.

- What did he do? - He played with my doll.

The children fight over their toys.

You can't lend him your toys?

Oh, that's perfect. Perfect!

Stay like that.

Stay like that. Good.

It's my doll.

Oh...

But, can't you lend your toys, huh?

- No. - I can't believe it.

There, go on!

He's pissing me off.

Ah, Mr. Prieur.

It's the magic hour.

- I can't. - What?

Excuse me, I have work to do.

Where is he going ?

Too much work, Mr. Duhamel.

Forgive us.

Light, please!

- Hey, where's it? - It'll just--

- Oh! - Shh! Come on!

It'll take just a few seconds.

Can we have sweets, chocolate popsicles, coffee?

Another beer, please.

Is it going to take long time?

It's the last reel, my dear, Marilyn.

- Because I've got to go. - Oh, no. Don't rush off.

Light!

- Ah! - Here we go.

Ah!

Lapasset barracks.

Isn't that beautiful.

You see the zoom there?

Oh, that's a courthouse.

Police used to guard this place.

Like a gyrfalcon.

- The native mass grave. - The War Memorial.

Hey.

So, too bad Martineau is not here.

I had filmed his garage to please him.

So there, well done!

Nice camera work.

All credit goes to the star.

You should be in movies.

- Whoo! - It's well done.

- What's next? - Ah!

- Hey, that's you. - The day my mother was sick.

Perfect scene.

A lot less than I wanted.

I had trouble following them.

You see that?

- Well done! - Hey!

Wow!

Have a bit of courage.

Face the truth.

We barely escaped, my love.

No, you can't come back.

He's watching us.

But yeah, we'll meet in town.

I'll tell him some bullshit story, he'll believe it.

Yes, I'll warn Marilyn.

Oh, stop.

Oh, me too, I want it, you know that.

Oh, stop.

Stop!

- Stop, for God's sake! - But, it's not over yet.

I said, stop!

Paul.

Paul!

What?

Stop!

What is it, Paul?

What's wrong with you, Paul?

Oh, God!

God!

Don't worry, it'll pass.

I beg your forgiveness.

I beg your forgiveness.

Don't worry, it'll pass.

I beg your forgiveness.

Are you proud of yourself?

What do you think people will think?

You don't care, huh?

Duhamel wanted to pack his bags.

He'll stay, but not for you.

I told them you drank too much.

But, I deserve an explanation.

Are you going to talk, Paul? You will speak!

Go on!

I'm listening.

I'm jealous.

Jealous?

Of whom?

Of what?

I don't know.

It's killing me.

It's killing me.

I'm dying.

There are times where I wanted to jump out the window.

Oh, Paul.

I can't stand seeing you like this.

Slap me if you want.

Hit me if it'll help.

It would be better.

What would that change?

It's all in my head. I know it.

You're exhausted, my love.

Come to bed. Shh!

- You think I can fall asleep? - Yes, yes, I do.

I believe you are going to sleep.

You are going to sleep.

Come on.

Gently.

Relax.

Let yourself go, that's it.

Nelly?

- Nelly? - Mm?

Didn't you see Martineau again?

Oh, listen, Paul.

I'm sleeping.

Did you see him again?

But no, I haven't seen him.

I told him not to come back.

'Cause it's too risky here.

You meet in town.

Logical?

Yes.

It's logical.

But, it's not true.

Can you prove it?

How do I prove it, Paul?

Listen.

If you can't be reasonable, I'll be for both of us.

If it bothers you that I go into town,

then I won't go anymore.

Never.

Never ?

Never.

Feel better now?

Yes.

Well, almost.

What more can I do?

It's a little late.

What's done is done.

What did I do?

Must you ask?

How about your trip to the island?

Oh, no. Don't start that again.

I told you, I was tired and I just rested.

Aren't you drinking too much?

I'm cold.

Me too, I'm cold.

You want some?

So.

You just rested?

Yes.

For half an hour?

No, for 5 minutes.

False!

You left at 11:30 and it was 12:00 when I arrived.

Ah.

- Listen. - Yes.

For the last time.

We left at 11:30.

We went all the way to the dike, and on the way back, I rested.

On the island, it's true.

Because I was tired.

And that was why you lied down in the grass.

But, I did not lie down in the grass.

You lie!

- I'm tired of your lies! - Ouch!

You will tell me the truth!

Ouch! Let go of me!

Are you going to tell me the truth?

Yes, I slept with Martineau!

Yes, I slept with Martineau!

On the island, in his car,

in his house, here,

in this bed when you were at the market!

Are you happy now?

Open it.

Come on, open it.

Open up. I was wrong.

Listen.

It's over.

It's over, my love. I like you.

I love you, I love you.

Open the door!

Don't bullshit. Open it!

Idiot.

Papa!

Papa!

Got my lambs, boss?

Shit!

I left them at the butcher's.

I'll call the butcher right away.

My head is like a colander lately.

I'm sorry.

Are you leaving, Mr. Vernon?

Nothing wrong at home, I hope?

It's more like here.

Didn't you hear the din last night?

Mariette,

carry Mr. Vernon's luggage to his car.

Too much to drink.

I understand his being jealous, with such a pretty wife, huh?

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

- Coffee with cream, Julien. - Yes, Mr. Paul.

- Yes! - Shh shh shh shh.

Vincent, don't make noise.

- How are you, my little Nelly? - Fine, thanks.

How are you, my little Nelly?

Okay.

You haven't slept much, poor thing!

You know, it happens.

You haven't slept much, poor thing!

You know, it happens.

Stop.

Stop.

I'm a plane.

Vincent, please. Mommy has a headache.

Thanks, Julien.

Thanks, Julien.

Papa, can you make me a toast?

What do you want?

Make me a toast, Papa.

Yes.

Will you take the little one to his grandma's this afternoon?

Who? Me?

Ah, yes. Since I can't go out.

Help yourself, it's on the house.

Oh, that is sweet.

It's so rare.

What are you doing? Taking a stroll?

Trying to breathe.

That's not forbidden, I hope?

I can no longer see Mom.

Marilyn? Don't talk about it.

I walk the kid, it causes drama.

It's been 15 days! You've been clinging to me.

For 15 days, I take it without saying anything.

Nelly, wait.

No, Paul. No, I can't take it anymore.

You want to be a cuckold?

So you'll have reasons to fuss about me.

Do you want to be?

Well, you're gonna be, every which way.

I don't know with whom. I don't know how.

But, I swear, you will be!

So, is it coming, that Martini?

Here.

Let me buy you another.

Give us another.

No, no, no, no. This time, it's my turn.

I told him, it's very simple.

You have your opinion, I have mine.

- Everyone has their opinions. - Don't even know him.

Stop drinking! You're gonna be drunk like Poles.

Hey, boss.

Say, there's no more lights. Are you going to lower the rate?

I will think about it.

- So, it's a breakdown? - No, no, no, it's the whole sector.

I checked the fuses in the basement.

It's like the last time with the storm.

Come have a drink with us, boss.

Thanks, I don't have time. I have that.

I really don't see what's funny about this.

Please, do something.

It's been going on for an hour.

So, what do they say?

Mrs. Vernon, you see, it's always busy.

Ah, this is France.

Strikes for nothing.

It's not a strike, it's a blackout.

In my time, there was no blackout.

Have you seen my wife?

No, not for a while. This has been a mess.

Hello? Well, what did they say?

But, it's been 35 minutes that I've been trying to get you.

I know that you are overwhelmed, but put yourself in our shoes too.

Vinvin, Mom isn't here?

I don't know.

No, old friend.

As you see, just us men here.

Mom has disappeared...

and vanished into the darkness.

Make room for me, son.

I'm going to play you something.

Oh well, it's good news.

Oh well, let's hope so.

They say that it won't be long.

Vanished into the darkness.

The providential darkness.

Won't you come in for a minute?

Think it's a good time?

- Are you always in a hurry? - Yes, I'm always in a hurry.

- Oh! - About time!

Well, I can't be everywhere at once.

Do you know when my husband intends to return?

What? He went out?

We saw it okay.

You two were laughing near the garage.

Oh, he did not say anything to me.

Yes?

Oh, sorry, sir.

So, what's gotten into you?

Your customers are all pigs.

I don't know if it's the storm, but...

there are hands that drag.

You scared me. You came back?

What were you doing in there?

You know, it's the new customer, Captain what's-his-name?

I brought him a candle.

But, can you talk about an arrival?

Why did you go in?

Because he asked me to.

No, for the others, you didn't enter.

Yes, but he was in bed.

In bed?

Yes, but I couldn't know.

Say, you're still not better.

What is he doing in bed, the bastard?

He was waiting for me.

Well then.

It's not over, Paul.

You're right, it's stupid.

I love you.

Hurry up, Mr. Chabert. Your wife is waiting for you.

Mm.

- You're going to get scolded. - I am used to it.

- Ah! - Oh!

Clothilde,

Could you send me Vincent for him to come for dinner?

There's candle there, on your skirt.

- Who? Me? - There.

- Where? - On the back.

Ah, no, it's nothing.

I must have caught this in the basement.

Did you go down to the basement?

Of course, to check the fuses.

Julien told me, it was him.

He and I, we had the same idea.

Come on, baby, eat.

It's flooding now.

My ceiling is leaking! What a country!

Maybe, the idiots forgot to close the skylights.

They've all been there.

Did you go up to the attic today?

Me? No.

Why?

You're lying.

Think hard.

You went up to the attic, today?

No.

Ah, yes, to fetch the lamps.

Alone?

- Yes, alone. - You're lying.

Where is your bracelet?

What bracelet?

The one I gave you.

I lost it.

When?

I don't know.

Two or three days ago. It must have fallen off.

Liar.

Liar.

You're lying.

I found it, in the attic.

Where is it?

Where's the damn thing?

But, you've gone mad, my poor guy!

Shut up.

Every time you open your mouth, you lie.

Yes, I lie.

Because I'm fed up of your scenes.

I always have to watch what to say or not to say.

Do not touch me.

Do not touch me!

I say anything to get rid of your questions.

Yes, I lie.

And I completely don't mind lying to you.

You hate me?

Go ahead, say it.

You hate me?

If I had enough money to support Vincent and Mom,

I wouldn't stay one minute more.

That's not possible.

It's not true.

Is that why you stay with me?

Why do you think I married you?

No, there, I don't believe you.

There, I can't believe you.

Excuse me, I'm exhausted.

Go to bed, sleep.

Nelly.

Nelly!

Nelly?

♪ I is true ♪

♪ Look ♪

♪ We can love each other ♪

♪ Until the end of the day ♪

- Paul? - Yes, Paul!

Paul! It's Paul, yes!

Great! The bird has flown away!

The bird? What bird?

Oh, you, huh!

But anyway, old friend.

What's gotten into you?

Do you have sound mind?

No, when we have money,

we can hump the bistro owner's wife, is that it?

Impeccable!

But, calm down, old friend. Calm down!

What's going on? Where is your wife?

Want me to break your mouth?

Huh? What is that?

What is that?

- That? - Huh?

Oh?

That, it's just shit!

It's Lenoir's.

He came to play a little belote after diner.

Hey, I'm serious, old friend.

Look.

Don't laugh, huh?

It goes like this, huh?

It's been going on for long time, huh?

They send me shopping, and the fun starts.

Cheers to Popaul!

Tomorrow, terminated.

I kick out everyone!

Is that clear?

So there, old friend.

You begin singularly to piss me off!

I'm informing you that...

tomorrow morning, at the first hour,

I'll be on the road.

And I won't ever come back.

Now, you get out!

You, just in case.

If I put a bullet in my head,

you will have it on your conscience.

Paul!

Don't do something stupid!

Be a little sane, damn it.

Where were you?

Where was I? What about you?

I heard the cat meowing, I went to open the door for him.

That's it, huh?

By stopping at Duhamel's to listen to the radio?

Don't deny it because I just came from there.

You're going off the rails, Paul!

So. Duhamel?

- You need them every night, huh? - Ouch!

- The young? The old? - Ouch!

- The employees? - Ouch!

So?

So, I have the right, too.

- Am I wearing a (chastity) belt? - Ouch!

Am I wearing a (chastity) belt?

Ouch!

No!

Ouch!

Stop, please.

Stop.

I'm begging you, Paul, stop.

I'm begging you.

Don't let yourself be bullied.

Stop.

Don't let yourself be bullied by this bitch!

Slut!

No, no! Ouch!

Ouch!

- Ouch! - Slut!

No! No!

No! No!

No!

I know she came here because she left this on my pillow, old friend.

Where is she?

- Where are you hiding her? - Sit down, Mr. Prieur.

Sir, let me inform you...

that you can be held responsible for...

breaking up my marriage.

I can sue you for complicity at any time.

We totally agree?

Come on, sit down.

Yes, I know, I must not get angry,

but if she leaves me, I'll have nothing left.

Understand?

I can't, I can't live without her.

- You understand me? - Yes,

- Stay calm. - I'm begging you, doctor.

Give her back to me.

Come, Nelly.

Do not be afraid.

Ah well, we got our hands to the dough.

Thank you, doctor. How much do I owe you?

That's not funny, Paul.

You hurt Nelly last night, I had to examine her.

Examined her thoroughly, I see.

That's enough!

Keep it up, and I'll have you locked up! It won't take long, you got it?

Every good one.

She's the one who's sick, and it's me they want to lock up.

It's the best of the year.

If you believe that I'm going to let it go, sir,

you're sticking your finger in the eye.

Huh?

Contrary to what you believe,

I know my rights very well.

Arbitrary confinement is a serious offense.

We totally agree?

Don't you see, she doesn't care about you?

She lies to you, as to me.

Huh?

She lies like she breathes.

Well, you had beaten her.

Beaten?

I slapped her once, in 6 years of marriage.

Of course, she deserved it.

If I could do it over, I would do it again.

You realize you nearly crippled her last night?

But, you don't know,

don't know what I have been through.

At first, I believed her.

And then, by force, well, I understood.

I understood.

But, I forgave her.

I forgave her.

But when your wife gets up...

to go do it in the attic,

you can't forgive her.

Or when she gets up at 2 a.m.

to go sleep with customers, so what do you do?

Oh yes, what do you do?

And believe me.

It took me a long time to catch her.

Because she is crafty.

She always pretended to be asleep.

Me, I programmed myself.

I woke up.

Casually, I felt her feet.

They were cold. See what I mean?

That proves she had been up, right?

Of course.

But, doctor.

- Let him talk, shut up. - But, it's not true.

It's very interesting.

Oh, it's not her fault.

I know she loves me.

In her own way.

Only when the mood strikes, it's anywhere, with anyone.

The clients, the mechanic, the barman!

She is sick.

Look at her.

She is ruining her health. Look at the face she has.

It's...

It's hysteria.

She is hysterical.

Dear friend,

now, you find that hard to believe?

No, no.

I believe you, Paul.

But, it's monstrous.

He is crazy.

He's mad, he's mad.

You see?

She wants me locked up. This is absolute proof.

You're right, Paul.

This needs to be taken care of right away.

You see?

Do you see what I told you?

I'm calling the clinic.

What clinic? What for?

Because she needs a psychiatrist, old friend.

Hello?

Dumesnil? Yes, it's Arnoux.

Say, I have a case for you.

The same story as last month.

Hysteria, you see.

Yes, the husband gave me very significant details.

You know what I mean?

Yes, it is urgent.

It's really urgent.

Oh, good.

Listen, if that's the only way,

I'll pick them up tomorrow morning.

Yes, okay.

Out of question! I'm not going to any clinic,

and neither is she!

I know it's hard, Nelly.

But, there is no other solution.

Have a courage.

Don't listen to him. I'll defend you.

Either way, he has no right.

He can't force us.

I'll pick you both up tomorrow morning, at 7 a.m.

Hm!

I set the alarm for 6:00 a.m.

Does it amuse you?

No, it doesn't amuse me.

But, we have to get up early tomorrow.

Look at this.

I wonder if I should give you a chance.

I forgive you everything.

We act as if nothing had happened.

But, watch out.

Eh-oh.

I will be severe.

If you try to do it again,

it's in confinement.

Can you give me two sleeping pills, please?

You want 2 sleeping pills?

What for?

I need to sleep.

You should do the same.

Me, I don't need advice from anyone.

Well then, do whatever you want.

You have been well advised not to upset me, right?

Who is that?

Who is that?

- Arnoux. - No, Paul. No.

I haven't moved all afternoon.

- Maybe, you called him. - No.

You can wake Clothilde if you want.

We'll ask her. Come.

Come on, let's wake her up.

Shh! It's me.

I'm the one who closed it.

You mind?

You mind if I take my precautions?

In case you would start over the tour of the plumards.

You've been advising me to sleep for an hour.

So...

I understood your trick.

Listen, Paul.

Vincent has a fever.

I must check on him.

Will you open the door?

I give you 2 minutes.

Now, give me the key.

The what?

Give me the key, or I scream.

One more step and I'll call for help.

You've already caused enough scandals as it is.

Give it.

My poor Nelly!

Arnoux is right.

You're not normal.

I'm waiting.

Well done! Good game.

But, we will see about that.

Oh, fuck!

You see?

You see, you have to trust me.

I didn't take long.

Mm-hm.

You don't ask me if Vincent is okay.

Yes. Vincent is well?

Yes, Vincent is fine.

Look, don't be mean.

Will you give me back the key?

- I'll take it. - Listen, I'm tired.

Precisely! Listen, it shouldn't bother you that I lock the door.

And for me, I will sleep more peacefully.

Didn't I already take my sleeping pills?

Guess not. Will you give me back?

- What? - The key.

No, no, no more.

No? Very good.

I'm going to sleep in the chair,

in front of the door.

But, you need to be fresh to leave tomorrow, stop that.

Yes.

I'm not going.

What? Are you gonna let me go alone?

Don't worry. You're not going either.

What if I'm sick?

The illness like your can be treated at home,

with a good beating.

Huh? There is no need for a clinic.

It turned you on to get naked in front of the doctors,

and tell them, better luck next time, huh?

Why Arnoux is not happy when he gets paid the same?

You explain that to him tomorrow.

I won't explain anything to him because I won't see him.

The phone's been confiscated.

- You are afraid? - No, I'm not afraid.

I'm not crazy, my little darling.

Get that through your skull.

- I am neither a monster nor a madman.

I know, Paul. I know.

Then why you want to call a doctor in the middle of the night?

Oh, I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore.

I want...

Nice scheme, with the clinic.

Hey!

I'm talking to you!

Did you think I would go?

Huh?

Did you fall into the trap?

But you won't get me, for God's sake!

Because I will fight, for God's sake!

I will fight!

Let's start by giving me that key.

Where is that key? For God's sake!

What is it, Paul?

Where is that key, for God's sake?

- Where is that key? - Ow! Ow!

Huh?

In the corridor, under the statue.

She's lying to you.

If so, for God's sake.

Hello? Hello, doctor.

They're arriving.

He locked us in.

The key is under the rug.

He is crazy.

As soon as he sleeps, I will open the door for them.

It's a dangerous beast.

A dangerous beast has to be tethered.

Do you want to open the door for them?

Alright, huh, tramp? You've asked for it!

Ow!

Hello?

Hello, doctor.

He tied me up.

Come, come quickly.

Break down the door.

Come on, wake up.

Wake up, my love.

Wake up.

Come on. It's 6 a.m.

- You hear me? - Leave me here.

- I'm so sleepy. - No, no, no, no.

No, no, no. Come on, come.

No. You will sleep in the car.

We have to prepare. There's no time to waste.

Come on, come.

Come on, baby.

Come on, open your eyes.

Arnoux will be arriving soon. Come on, come.

- What happened to you ? - Nothing, nothing.

I'll explain to you later. Come on.

It's dark and it's raining.

- And I'm scared when it rains. - Yes, my love.

You're right, it's raining.

But, don't worry.

I'll drive slowly, huh?

Come on, let's hurry.

Run this over your face,

it'll wake you up.

I'll run you a bath.

Come on, get moving, my love.

Don't rush me, Paul.

Let me get used to it.

What's the matter?

Why are you looking at me like that?

You've never seen me before?

Like this morning? No.

Not in such a long time.

It's like a dream.

Oh, if only it were real.

My love, it's real.

Can't you tell?

It's been so long.

And you know, I thought everything was lost.

There is nothing to cry about.

I'm not crying.

I'm happy.

I'm not crying.

We erase everything,

- and we'll start over. - Yes.

Wait for my return from Clermont.

- And you're going there now? - You bet!

- As soon as possible. - Really, Paul?

Really?

I'm eager to be safe.

Your wound has reopened.

Look.

Look.

I was sure I'd untied her.

Am I losing the sense of reality?

What is happening to me?

What happened to me?

Let's see.

Earlier, we were about to leave for the clinic.

In Clermont.

Both of us.

We are still here.

Ah, it's like before.

Like before what?

Don't know anymore.

I'm losing my mind.

I only hope that she has no idea.

I have to put my ideas in place.

You have to be careful.

You must not.

You must not.

If, if ever...

Good.

Let's see.
