PARTING SHOT

It's okay.

- Well? Did she die? - Don't worry, I cleaned her.

Sorry, I panicked. I'll have to get used to it.

Are you okay?

Everybody says the dead don't bother you.

Put the flower in her hands. It will make the family happy.

Go on.

Don't believe everything you hear!

- First mistake? - The bolt.

- Second mistake? - The cartridge clip.

Shut up, will you?

The equipment stays here.

Here.

- No hello? - Why's Dad here?

He likes the new manager. Practicing again?

Aren't I allowed to?

- Sure, but does your father know? - He can go to hell!

I see you here and wonder...

He wouldn't wonder.

- When'd you start practicing again? - I never stopped.

You could have told him!

- He wanted me out of his sight. - He'd have been pleased.

I don't want to please him!

You're just like him!

Stop it!

Mom and Dad said we're leaving!

I'm talking to you!

- Aren't you at school? - There's no school on Sunday.

Leave Fred alone. Can't you see she's tired?

This guy's really interested. He wants to buy the place.

Coffee?

Can I make it?

Bullet-proof vest?

- You didn't use to be afraid. - Stop it!

Come on.

You look exhausted.

- It's the night shift. - You always preferred nights.

- I wanted to see you before I leave. - You're leaving?

Where to?

Really leaving?

Far away?

- Will you miss me? - Don't play that game.

- Where to? For long? - I don't know yet.

- I'm giving up my flat. - When are you leaving?

- Before the end of the week. - So soon?

- Are you going alone? - Yes, alone.

Stupid of me. Why should you change?

- It depends. - On what?

Out of... I don't know.

I can't take anymore!

I've met someone.

You don't know her. Jo�lle.

You live with her, at your place?

You gave her my key?

Good!

Good for Jo�lle!

Good luck! That's what you say, right?

I say: Goodbye!

Wait... Wait, damn it!

You didn't say where you were going!

Is that okay?

My bladder's really shot?

They told you: It burst in the accident.

But it'll get better, won't it?

Can't I get a transplant? Or one out of plastic...

No. You'll have to get used to pissing in a bag.

- No lights on? Are you okay? - I'm fine.

- A cup of coffee? - No time.

You must have a few minutes.

Here. Take mine.

Take it. I haven't touched it...

Since you accept for once...

- Go on, make fun of me! - I'm not! I'm in love.

- Weren't you going home? - Are you her mother?

Another round!

Let's go!

Wait!

How much?

Can't you be tender?

Hear that? I'm not tender!

- Did you fuck the hardware dealer? - What's the problem?

- "What's the problem?" - So what? They're harmless!

You fucked both?

Go home. Get some sleep.

Saint Rita is tired and wants to go to bed. See you tomorrow.

- Quit sulking. - Beat it.

You act like my 3-year-old brother.

What are you doing?

Shit! What'd that bird do to you?

Since when do you defend the fucking birds!

You're like my mother!

To hell with your mother!

Buzz off. What's got into you?

Look at you! You can't even stand.

Serves you right!

What are you doing?

Go on, shoot!

Are you out of your mind? Stop it!

Stop shooting!

Age?

We'll call

the doctor in the operating room. Gunshot wound.

All right?

Don't move.

I'm almost done...

What's your name?

He's completely out of it. He has to be taken right away.

Bandage. I'm done.

It's me.

This is Fred. One of my colleagues.

This is my friend Stefan.

- Good evening. - What would you like?

- Mineral water. - Coke.

You look awful.

Go on, brush your teeth. I'll be up in a minute. Go on.

Hear about the kid who got shot? I'll do the same to that man.

- How do you know it was a man? - A woman doesn't shoot at kids.

They say it wasn't a hunter. Let's go?

Shall we?

Come on!

I thought you had more time when on night shift.

But the days are wasted.

I'm too tired to do anything.

Ah, there you are!

I want to go home.

You see about the new entry.

- Wait, please. I called you. - What's wrong?

He's not breathing properly.

His breathing is slower because of the sedative. It's normal.

Are you sure?

Ambulatory function: Prognosis uncertain.

Instruct staff to behave accordingly.

Sorry about before. I panicked.

No need to apologize.

My wife just rang from Portugal. Can she sleep here with Marco?

Yes. If the bed remains free there's no problem.

- When will she arrive? - Tomorrow evening.

There was a flight, but she wouldn't wait.

She's driving up. She'll go too fast.

I say: my wife, but we're actually divorced.

I live alone with Marco. Why did this have to happen?

Excuse me.

Watch out for Marco. Sometimes he does things...

Did you sleep well?

Are you crazy!

You want to wash me, too?

Put me on another ward!

- I won't look after this boy. - Wait...

I've always helped you out,

done the shifts you wanted. But not this!

Don't make me unpleasant.

3 years in a row I worked New Year's!

I'm not asking for the impossible.

Yes you are. It's impossible.

Oh, it's you. Can you put Andr� on?

He's driving?

Switch the loudspeaker on, then you'll know it all at once.

When we met the other day,

why didn't you want me to stay a while?

You bet I'm drunk...

If it bothers her, I won't say another word. Nothing at all!

See to the boy. If it comes to me, I put everyone on tranquillizers!

I'll do Rm. 15, then I'm off. Good night.

Don't talk to me that way!

How else? Haven't seen you in 6 months.

I couldn't come.

We manage without you.

I can see that!

- I don't need you. - I'm still in charge.

Get lost! Go home! Out of my sight!

Don't talk to your mother like that!

Are you nuts?!

Apologize!

Why? I'm the one who was shot at!

Can I smoke here?

2,000 km, and he won't even let me kiss him...

Is it normal for a boy not to want to kiss his mother?

I don't know. It depends on the mother.

Why do you say that?

Do you also look after him? Did he say anything about me?

He forced me to leave him here, now he makes me come back.

What's the matter with you? Are you a bit

tipsy?

Sit down before you fall down.

Somebody must take your place.

You could kill someone in that state.

Yes, call someone.

Others shouldn't have to pay.

Can you sub for me? I don't feel well.

Right now.

I'll do your shift tomorrow.

I'll be waiting.

You have to get up now.

Did you get some rest?

I don't want Magali to see you like this.

- Don't you work nights? - I swapped shifts.

Then I'm lucky to find you. I call, no answer.

- You didn't go away after all. - Not yet.

What happened yesterday?

Were you sloshed?

What's going on?

- This isn't your style. - I don't have a style anymore.

It's nothing... it's nothing!

- Leaving your rifle in the car? - It's locked.

Are you mad? Stick it in the trunk at least!

Lock it!

Andr�, listen... the rifle...

Nobody can see it in the trunk. Put it away tonight.

It's better here than in your locker.

Promise me something.

Leave Jo�lle and me alone, okay?

So she's the right one?

What? What do you mean?

Why? Am I wrong?

Do you get the message?

In a few days we'll operate again and start

building up your broken knee.

Then it has to heal. You mustn't move.

Can't let it get infected.

At your age, you'll heal fast.

Bones mend easily.

Who's caring for him? Fred, blood test

and clean bandage.

You won't cut my leg off?

Doctor?

I have a few questions.

Don't worry. The doctor changed the bandage.

And the blood test?

And I won't touch the boy anymore! But I'll find somebody to do it.

No, give me a minute. He won't drive us all up the wall!

- Leave him to me. - With pleasure!

Thank you for coming. Don't worry, it'll all work out.

- What? Have you found something? - I'm talking about your son.

My son... Not even the doctor knows.

We're all doing our best to find out. That's why I wanted to see Jeremy.

Can you tell us the story again? How you saw it?

You're supposed to be a nurse?

No way! You can't bear to see blood and they gave you a degree?!

Make a fist.

The blood test will show if the wound is infected.

If it is, we can't operate.

3 weeks of antibiotics

before we can operate on the knee.

Otherwise the screws won't hold.

Excuse me, can I go in?

Yes. But don't stay long and no noise.

- How are you? - What did the cops say?

Nothing. The idiots didn't find anything. Can I have a look?

Fuck, all that metal! Does it hurt? Excuse me.

Looking for something?

- Fr�d�rique Bornoz? - That's me.

Come to the police station with your rifle. Have a nice day.

You're clinging to me! Go away!

Let me breathe!

Tell her it's my room!

- You're in hospital here! - Be quiet!

- I belong in here with you! - Quiet!

- If she stays, I'll kill myself. - By holding your breath?

There are sick people here. Calm down.

Come back tomorrow. That'll be better.

- Beat it! - No, I'm your mother!

- Go back to Portugal! - I'm your mother and I'm staying!

He's in pain and needs peace.

She's right. You rest. We'll come back tomorrow.

It'll be better then.

Please.

Go to sleep.

What nonsense!

- You don't understand. - Yes, it's annoying...

Listen to them. I couldn't separate them.

I'm not a monster.

- Call us if there's a problem. - Of course.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- When did your mother leave? - Don't bug me about my mother.

Last year.

- What does she do there? - In Portugal?

My grandfather has a bulb factory. Not ordinary ones,

little ones shaped like candles.

They use them in churches. You insert a coin and they light up.

I won't fall out of bed.

- Go to sleep now, it's late. - I won't sleep.

- Yes, you will. - I won't sleep, I said!

This'll help.

Next time, call immediately. Don't wait for the pain to start.

I want the pump!

The morphine pump?

You have to be 18. Children don't know when to stop.

Stop what? The pain?

That's stupid!

This operation in 3 days...

- Will I be able to walk? - Of course you will.

Here. Have a nice day.

Hello there. Looking for me?

- Are you mad at me? - I'd just rather not.

- Don't you recognize me? - Sure.

Nobody forced you!

That's the worst thing about it. It wasn't so hot for you either.

- It was, a bit. - Let's be honest.

"Can't you be tender?"

You see, I'm right.

Please sit down.

- And my rifle? - Come for it in 2 weeks. Goodbye.

Hello.

What's she doing here?

Father, daughter. The nice logic of

alphabetical order...

Has Marco calmed down? Got him under control?

Now that his mother's here?

After you...

Did you bring in your rifle?

I said I didn't have it anymore.

I left it in my grandmother's attic.

She died in February.

Now a cousin's living there.

When I heard from you, I phoned him.

They had the house cleared out.

The guys took everything away.

Your father gave it to you for your 18th birthday.

He also bought one for himself, for his 50th birthday.

An original double present.

He said you make poor use of it. What did he mean?

That I didn't use it enough.

Soon after, I stopped entering contests. He has to tell everybody.

You were a champion. Why did you stop?

Couldn't stand the people.

I can understand his displeasure.

He isn't easy to get along with.

You turn your back for a second, something happens to them.

Careful!

You have nice breasts.

I can see that right away.

Women...

like you to pay attention.

I look at you.

Don't you want me?

I would... make you a baby.

Even two.

Two is better.

They don't get so bored. Like us... the two of us.

There.

Thanks.

He doesn't usually say much.

Some guys... You just touch them and they want to marry you.

The hands... they're not used to it.

- The boy who was shot at... - Yes.

I'm caring for him.

If you start taming the wild ones,

we'll have to find someone to tame you!

Did you call? Does it hurt?

Don't turn on the light!

What's up?

- A little accident. - Bitch!

- I'll get you clean sheets. - No!

You'd rather stay wet?

You're not changing me!

Here. Wash yourself.

Dry yourself.

The back, too.

Hold on. Lean on your good leg.

- Is that better? - I'm okay.

Okay? Can I try?

Plug this in...

It's a bit late to visit.

I can set it up tomorrow.

All right, but quietly. He was operated on at noon.

He needs to rest.

It didn't go so well.

See if it works now.

Stop that!

The man next to you!

It's too loud.

And the headphones?

- Headphones? - Didn't you buy any?

- I didn't know you needed any. - Silly bitch!

That's enough! I'll get some tomorrow.

- You promise? - I promise.

Can I turn it on? Without sound.

Just to try.

Okay, but no sound.

Don't worry, it'll pass.

Sure. But it bugs me.

She buys him presents so he doesn't yell at her!

It's hard for her, alone in Portugal. But still...

What do you know? I'm different from you.

Here you had your trucks, your job. All I had was you... and Marco.

There I have a real job.

Nobody orders me around. It's new for me.

Do you think I'm selfish?

Not wanting to be ordered around?

I don't know.

This is what we say about people who don't want to get involved:

"sempre de p� atras", "always one foot behind".

By foot we mean head.

It's a way to say you never trust anybody.

I'm not like that.

I think you are.

I'm not sure.

My son doesn't trust people either.

Is he bothering you?

He's alive, he makes noise. What can I say?

Give it to me!

Can I try it?

If you like to lose.

Bitch. You can't!

Sure I can.

Give it back!

I win. Go to sleep, now.

Too easy! I can't even move!

The kid's right.

And I sleep with the light on?

Sorry.

We'll play a round. Quietly.

It keeps me company. I don't care.

Good night, Mr Vaucher.

- Better than I thought. - I was a champion at your age.

- There were no such games then. - Silly. I'm not talking about games.

Shooting. Junior girls. 300 metres.

Will you teach me?

Certainly not.

My father taught me to shoot.

Neat.

Mine only taught me to ride a bike...

Press my hand.

We'll do a CT scan.

- Where's he going? - For a scan.

- What's he got? - We don't know yet.

- Where's Fred? - She'll see to him.

- Quick. Something's happened. - What?

It's Marco. Come quickly.

What were you doing?

We wanted to go out and got stuck.

What?!

- We wanted to go out and... - Where to?

Be careful! Forward.

The operation's in 2 days! Nice going!

What's going on? Where were you going?

- To see the dead man. - What?!

We wanted to see the dead man.

- We've never seen a dead person. - Be thankful.

We could have been killed the other day!

You really want to see a dead person?

Are you strong enough?

Can you take it?

I warn you, it's tough.

Zip up. It's cold in there.

Don't move.

Is he there?

He can't defend himself anymore. So look at him kindly.

What's up? Don't you want to go in?

Well?

My mother will pull my head off!

Have it sewn on when they operate on me.

What if they sew your leg on instead? With your toes as a cap? Forget it!

And I wake up with your nut in place of my foot?

Two heads on the same body. Whose body is it?

Mine. My head is at the top!

No, mine. I'm better looking.

And why's that?

That's how it is! And what happens with the other body?

Are you a shooting champion for real?

For real. But it's easy for girls, we're not many.

The guy who shot at me, he may have seen me in the paper.

It's a weird thought.

I wonder what he feels like. Whether he's glad.

I bet he's glad he didn't kill you.

So you think it was a hunter?

I don't know.

Spring isn't really the hunting season.

Nobody dared yell at me about Jeremy.

His mother wanted to bawl me out...

I was more messed up than him,

or I'd have been in for it!

What about Jeremy? Did you do it on purpose?

He laughs,

makes fun of me. It drives me nuts.

So you did it on purpose?

I aimed at him, not his eye!

Did you want to hurt him?

At the time, yes.

So he'd shut up.

But just at the time.

When I saw his eye...

It was horrible!

Don't look at me.

I never drink on Mondays.

Don't you?

That's when you should.

Because...

Those who work don't drink during the week.

I never drink at the same time as the others.

You have to strengthen your shoulders.

You laugh. But when you get crutches,

your arms will be doing the work.

How do you know?

I broke my ankle playing football.

Did you?

I didn't know.

I never told you.

You weren't born yet. I was about your age.

Here. Try 'em out.

Know what I did when she wanted to take me to her godforsaken hole?

I cut myself.

I told her I'd really hurt myself if she tried to force me.

How did you cut yourself?

With a piece of glass. It doesn't hurt much, but you bleed like a pig.

And your father?

He didn't know about it. He'd have made me leave.

And she didn't tell him?

There were things she didn't want me to tell him.

We made a deal.

What kind of things?

Lots of things...

Sometimes she'd sleep all day.

I had to get my own meals and stuff.

She didn't want my father to know.

Why did she sleep so much? Was she tired?

I don't know. She didn't go to work.

I think she was sad.

You certainly put her through it!

She put me through it!

Shall we play?

Certainly not. It's late!

You have to go to sleep now. Because tomorrow...

Don't worry, it'll go fine.

Won't you be here tomorrow?

I work nights.

Too bad...

Can I take Marco to the operating room?

If you like. Take my place.

You're here!

You won't get that one!

Push the button.

Something wrong?

What's up?

How do you know I shoot birds?

Is it a secret?

Jeremy would never have told you.

You told me.

Hi, Marco. I'm Claude.

I'll put you to sleep.

- Coming with him? - Yes.

No! She's not!

Eugenia, he's waking up.

It went well. Don't worry...

We'll stay a while, sleep.

Wait.

Please wait.

Thank you very much.

What do you want?

Only Jeremy knows that I shoot birds.

How do you know?

Look at me!

What did you see?

Were you there?

It was you?!

Don't stand there.

Move.

- What? - It's me who shot the boy.

What are you talking about?!

In the woods. I wanted to die.

One could say it was an accident, you didn't do it on purpose.

If a good shot shoots at someone, it isn't an accident.

No accident.

How's the kid?

Fine.

The operation went well. But he may have a limp.

He hates me.

He knows it was you?

He knows it and didn't tell anyone?

What will you do now?

Can I come in?

Get lost!

I'm going to the police.

Afraid I'll fink on you?

Why did you shoot at us? Are you sick?

I wanted to shoot myself.

You wanted to kill yourself?

But I shot at you.

You fell down... I was afraid I'd killed you...

Later I understood how incredibly lucky I'd been.

If I'm not dead it's because the bullet hit you.

You can't fail with a gun!

I think I didn't want to die.

You really want to go?

Nobody's forcing you.

I know.

- I don't need more. - Well I never!

I thought you were mute.

So did I.
