THE DEVIL IN HIM

Come on!

Get a move on!

I'm trying to catch a grasshopper

Got one!

- And that one? - Titmouse.

- You sure? - Certain.

- Not a bullfinch? - No, a titmouse!

Yeah, you're right.

And that, d'you hear it?

It's my tummy!

Let's go home then.

Fucking stop that!

Quit messing around.

Lose that stick.

It's just a bit of fun.

I'm lost, can you help? I'm looking for Monteil?

A bit farther.

- You're local? - Yes.

Can you direct me to the Doucet house?

In the village. Not sure where.

I see.

Thanks a bunch, I'll find it myself!

What's up with her?

Why didn't you tell her where we live?

We'll wait till she's gone!

School's out tomorrow. Be sure to say goodbye to everyone.

Who cares about them!

You won't see them again, so you must.

Won't see them again?

What's that about?

What's going on?

I'm changing schools.

Changing schools?

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm going to a special school for me.

A special school for you? What's that?

One that's perfect for Jacques.

That woman, right?

"That woman"

is the principal of his new school. She's marvelous!

We don't even know the bitch and she bitch screws us!

- Watch your tongue. - I falk how I like!

If I fucking catch you...!

Lay off Xavier.

We'll run away.

Were to?

Don't know yet.

Does it hurt?

Show me.

Stop.

Ms Humbert?

What's up, you don't want your vacation?

Something you wanted to ask me?

No?

Have a good vacation then!

- You know my kid brother? - Yes.

Why the special school?

It's ridiculous. He can seem a bit odd,

but he's much smarter than anyone!

You think we don't know that?

We do.

That's why he needs a school to suit his abilities.

Yeah, OK, I get it.

Xavier!

Hey, Xav. Come in.

Early for once. Cool.

I need your help.

Special school for children.

Move it!

Alright, chill.

There's tons.

This one's got lots of links. How's that?

Do it.

OK... "Specialized institute...

"for children with mental handicaps

"linked to psychological problems."

There are photos. Wanna see them?

No. I'm good.

Why the interest in this crap?

I'm sure they're sending Jacques to a place like it.

Don't talk garbage!

You came by bike?

Your new kite lines are no good.

Try this instead.

You're a smart one! Where d'you get it?

I'll build a simpler kite just for you.

OK, but I'll never get it to fly.

- Hey, Xavier! - Hey, Helene!

How you doing?

- Where's your brother? - Just nearby.

- Did you feed him, Bastien? - Sure.

- Glad to be on vacation? - Yeah.

Hey, kids.

How's tricks?

- Hey, Pierrot! - Hey, Dad!

It says storms tomorrow.

It's OK, we finished haymaking. However,

we have to build the fence. - Need a hand?

- It's hard work. - You up for it?

- Sure he is. He needs fresh air. - You'll need your muscles!

Eat slowly or you'll both choke!

Let's go.

Hey, what about dessert?

No, thanks. We're watching the game at Bastien's!

I baked a pie.

Welcome to the World Cup quarter-final

the long-awaited France vs Brazil.

Over to your match commentators.

End of the line, all off!

So, who was right about the game then?

See how we made those Brazilian babes blub?

I even popped a cork!

How come I'm never there when you open champagne!

I hope we get the Jerries in the final so we can take revenge for 1982!

Jeez, here he goes again!

You don't know Schumacher, their goalie.

- Only the racing driver! - Schumacher...

He's a weird one!

Easy...

Watch it, it's heavy.

Here, grab this.

I was ecstatic!

Right, now for the hard bit!

What? Come on, kiddo, still lots to do, let's move!

Bring the post-driver.

Over to you. Whack her in!

Hit harder.

Year, right, I'm too short!

Hang on. I'll get... Hey, quit messing, guys!

The party's tonight! Gimme that oil can.

- Go on! - Missed!

- Lucky you didn't drink champagne! - Pack it in.

OK, that'll do, that'll do!

Pass the cheese.

- Can I have some sausage? - Not starting with dessert?

Not my fault if you lot eat like slowcoaches.

Here, drink some of this, it'll slow your down.

- What did you want? - Bread and sausage.

Me, a beer.

Special reserve!

Water, anyone?

Anyone want water?

D'you know about Jacques?

Yes, I heard.

How can we stop it?

Whatever for?

It'll be great for him.

What's your worry?

That you won't be together?

I understand!

You 're all giving me the run-around.

What are you on about?

Forget it, we gotta go.

Right, you're driving us back!

Are you nuts?

Come on, hop up!

See?

You need to believe in yourself a bit more.

And in others too.

- Bathe in the raw! - Stop it, faggot!

Are you having a pizza?

I'm hesitating between pizza and pasta.

Have you even read the menu?

Is Andrea coming tomorrow?

Great, you can play France v Italy!

What can I get you to drink?

I want a coke. Extra large!

I'll have an orangeade.

Coke for me too.

A carafe of rose, Pierrot?

- Chilled, please. - Sure thing.

Chosen your pizza yet?

Margarita!

Check out those two chicks!

They're so hot!

I can't work out why they want to send you away.

It's like you don't care.

You want us to be apart, is that it?

Nothing'll happen to us. I'm protected.

Protected? What's that bullshit?

Someone protects me. Enough already, I'm sleepy!

At least take your sneakers off!

Hey, Andrea, watch out!

- What for? - Your sneakers!

Pity to dirty your little ballet shoes!

I may not have sneakers, but I brought the right uniform!

A France v Italy final would be cool.

Then, whatever happens you win!

Exactly.

OK, enough bull, let's play!

- Is he nuts? - Wakey-wakey!

Let's go!

How was that for a goal?

- Easy, guys! - Yeah, yeah!

You OK, Xav?

Cool tumble!

- Nice one! - Let's go!

Not with that wheel!

- Shut up! - I'll lend you mine for the rematch.

You're not Zidane anymore, you're Ribery!

Enough already!

- You built a new kite? - Yeah, yours.

You know that copper wire?

I used it on your kite.

If it's windy tomorrow, you'll take off!

Know what we'll do first?

We'll free the hens.

How are we supposed to free the hens?

What are you two up to?

Come give me a hand handing these sheets up.

Shit!

Come on, give it here!

Stop that, Jacques! What d'you think you're doing?

Stop it this instant, or you'll dirty them all!

Put that back right now!

If I get hold of you, you pair of rascals!

Bummer!

- What you listening to? - Bounty Killer.

Let's hear.

- It's good. What is it? - Dancehall.

- Where's that crap from? - Jamaica.

Well if it's from Jamaica...

I really like it.

I'll lend it to you then, there are other tracks you'll like.

Lend it Bastien, he is into it!

Yeah, right.

- Give it back once you've listened. - Thanks, that's cool.

Guess we're in for another afternoon of bumming around!

The Tour de France is on TV. I love it.

Any better ideas?

- Bet we mess up again! - No way, it's easy.

We shout, scare them and they jump over the gate.

It's a cinch.

Go on, all out!

Go on, fly away!

They're so stupid!

Shit, Xavier, stop it! Stop!

I'm not hungry.

Sometimes I think you go looking for trouble.

1-0. We stuffed the Portugeezers!

Did you hear?

I don't care.

Aren't you happy?

I don't give a shit, get it?

Hey, quit being a pain!

You're starting to piss me off! I'm outta here!

I like your mom.

She's realy nice.

Not always.

What's more, she's gentle.

I invited Xav to stay in August. You could come too.

To Paris?

No, Sardinia. We go every summer.

Where's Sardinia?

- Italy. My dad grew up there. - I'd love to.

What did Xavier say?

He didn't sound too into it. Maybe you can twist his arm.

Come on, let's take a dip.

Your mom...

You guys never talk about her.

- Why? - Drop the dumb questions!

- Who's talking to you? - It's none of your busibess!

Give your brother a break!

You always decide everything for him.

Yeah, and you know why?

'Cos everyone's trying to screw us over. You included.

Boy, have you got a screw loose!

No surprise your dad beats you!

What's going on?

Andrea's mom is here. She's not happy.

Andrea's cut all over.

You ripped him up! The doc's given him tons of stitches.

His mom says he's going back to Paris.

He doesn't want to stay anymore.

Your t-shirt...

Stay here, I'll go in alone.

You took your time!

Look at the state of you!

Go put another shirt on.

He's out of line.

He beats up his buddy,

says he likes animals but kills them...

I never meant to kill those hens!

He's got the devil in him.

Out of my sight! Get out!

Did you hear me?

Didn't you?

Get out.

Don't fucking stare at me!

Get out!

Out!

I don't believe this!

Into your room and stay there!

I don't wanna see you! Move it!

- What you looking for? - The Pinocchio that Andrea gave me.

He's not the one to blame.

The one who protects me is a lady.

She's beautiful, with long blond hair.

D'you see her often?

You know the redwood tree? She's right underneath.

She says she'll always watch over me.

Why doesn't anyone ever protect me?

She talks about you sometimes. You know what she says?

That with you, nothing bad will ever happen to me.

This lady...

who is it?

Is it Mom?

- What's up, boy? - I want to see Ms Humbert.

Ms Humbert isn't here. She's on vacation.

Run along now.

- Thirsty? - Yeah.

Why d'you take this?

So it would piss off the old man.

He doesn't really play billiards.

Should've taken his radio.

Then we'd get the soccer scores too.

Is this all you took to eat?

I took what I could find. If we're short, we can go home.

No way.

We'll get by with this.

I'm cold.

Look how close the stars are.

It's like you can strecht out your hand

and pull them over you like a blanket.

That's bullshit.

You know that's not true.

So what?

Isn't it better than the truth?

Maybe.

Know where I go when I wanna be alone?

I've got a hidey-hole near the redwood.

Where you see the lady?

Yes, just next to it.

See that shooting star?

- Did you make a wish? - Yeah.

That we'll never be apart.

If you want a wish to come true,

you mustn't tell anyone.

OK, you win, I surrender!

- Let's jump in again! - Hang on!

Oh boy, he's scared of jumping!

Jacques?

Jacques!

Why don't you answer?

I hate my name.

- 'Cos it's the old man's. - Yeah.

At least he gave someone something!

Well, I don't want it!

There are tons of Jacques!

Like who?

Jacques Chirac!

Nobody better than Jacques Chirac?

Let's see...

Jack Sparrow, Jack Bauer...

- What name do you want? - Mireille.

Mireille's nice.

Yeah, but it's a girl's name.

Some names are for boys and girls.

Did you know he was a soldier?

Yeah, he went to war.

- To war? - Yeah, in Iraq and Africa.

What, so he killed people?

Come on, chow time!

Look.

Shit, the trout!

I'm tenacious.

OK, if you wanna play at that?

At what? At tag? No, I hate it.

In real life, you'd be dead!

In real life...

"Suddenly the wind chilled.

"A shiver ran through the countryside and the mountain turned mauve.

"Little Goat heard the bells of a flock returning to the fold.

"She felt sad and shuddered when she heard a scream."

I learned it in school ages ago.

I can't remember the rest.

There's no danger here. You know that.

I'm still scared.

What're you thinking about?

There must be something bigger than all this.

And if things weren't like this, we might not be able to live.

It's like there's something around us.

Something we can't see but it's there all the same.

- Like my blond-haired lady? -Yes. Exactly.

What is this place?

I'm fed up. Let's go home.

You want them to send you to that stupid school?

Well, it might not be too bad for me.

I'll never leave you on your own. Never!

We'll never be separated.

Get it into your little head!

Where you heading?

And you?

Lyon.

So are we.

What's your name, kid?

Got no name?

Mireille.

Mireille's nice.

How about some music?

- Come on, we're moving. - Why?

Just come!

Where are you two going?

- To Lyon! - Lyon?

- Sure. - We go nowhere near Lyon.

Whatever happens, keep it shut!

Here's the legal procedure for cases like this.

Here.

You'll soon be visited by social services.

- Goodbye, ma'am - Thank you.

Anything to say?

We'll see who's the smartest!

No World Cup Final tonight.

And I'll make sure everyone knows it.

I know how your mind works.

I don't think so.

Oh, I do.

You won't see your brother until he leaves.

He moves back to his room.

You're grounded in your room.

Try to go out, you're for it.

I'm not staying here like you,

doing fuck-all listening to that crap old radio!

What?

You do sweet F.A. all day.

You piss people off and everyone hates you. You know why?

'Cos you're an asshole.

Say that again.

You're an asshole!

Watch it...

You lack respect.

You're a sicko, a loser and a cretin!

Now I know what you've been missing: killing people!

Keep pissing me off and I'll spill your guts!

And what if I spilled your guts?

What'd come out? A big pile of shit!

Never lay another finger on me!

Hungry?

You didn't care about food on the run.

You're young, he led you on. So I won't punish you.

Why don't you like Xavier?

He's done nothing to you.

Damn!

What're you doing?

- Nothing. Go away! - What's that for?

If I can't watch the final, he won't either.

See those lines? If I connect them: no electricity!

The asshole'll have a blank screen.

Go on, get home.

No, I wanna stay with you.

- You'll miss the final. - You'll missing it too.

You know what?

Go and watch the final then tell me all about it.

With all the details, like a reporter. OK?

Forget reporter.

I wanna be an archaeologist.

- Please, Jacques. - No.

He's putting me in my room. I hate it in there.

Go on, Jacques, please!

Stop calling me Jacques. I hate that name.

Go on, leave me alone, please.

- No. Can't I stay with you? - Go.

- I want to stay. - Go!

I want to be alone, get it?

Xavier...

- Penalty! - Yes!

- We'll score. - Hang on, it's not in yet.

Shit! No way!

Where were you?

Who won?

No one knows. The power's down.

No way!

There's no juice. Can you see any lights in here?

No one saw it for 30 miles around.

They all went nuts.

Lend me your flashlight.

- This is all I have! - I can't see my way home!

Give it back, OK.

It happened in Andouze, ma'am.

Xavier!

No! You can't come, son.

Titmouse.

Robin.

Chaffinch.

Bullfinch.

Jay.

- Forgotten anything? - No.

Everything will be fine.

I'm here to help.

Trust me.

Can I ask a favor?

Sure.

To make a quick detour...
