Here's the Ietter Ieft by your husband. You can read it.

It's embarrassing...

What's embarrassing?

It's embarrassing that you've read it.

My husband has aIready fiIed a compIaint against that pig, that piece of shit,

that arse hoIe...

The poIice had aIready questioned Edouard Laporte.

Our daughter was questioned...

Then nothing.

There was no foIIow-up afterwards.

It's your fauIt that Jacques is dead...

I don't have the strength to go it aIone.

There's no one Ieft...

apart from my brother...

who's never there.

He's aIways abroad.

Marco SiIvestri, he's your brother?

The Ietter's addressed to him.

Marco and Jacques were Iike brothers. They met at the navaI academy.

Marco introduced me to Jacques.

Come on, keep it together.

Think of your daughter.

You have to keep going for her sake.

CouId you come up to the bridge quickIy, there's an urgent caII for you.

BASTARDS

PARIS, ONE MONTH LATER

Bye, honey.

- Good morning, Ma'am. - Good morning.

Wait, there's some maiI for you.

So they've soId the oId Iady's apartment?

No, they're renting it in the meantime. WeII, that's what my aunt toId me.

And how's your aunt doing?

She's doing fine...

Anyway it's kind of you to take over.

It's normaI, it's famiIy!

Bye, honey. See you this evening.

Thank you.

E. Laporte and his Saint-Tropez summers

The Laporte case wiII be turned over to the tax department

News scoop : Edouard and RaphaeIIe appear

Jerk me off.

Let's see.

Good morning.

What's wrong with the bike?

The chain has come off?

I... I think so.

Take this.

Here.

Thanks!

I'm here for you.

TaIk to me, Justine.

TaIk to me.

I Iove him,

I want to see him!

TeII my mother I have to get out of here.

Take a seat.

Is she your daughter?

Yes...

and do you have any chiIdren?

Yes, two girIs.

Their mother Iooks after them.

So, Mr. SiIvestri, we need to discuss your niece.

One couId hardIy say this young Iady Iooked after herseIf...

AIcohoI, drugs...

But what's worse is the sexuaI aspect...

Abuse, torture.

It's going to take time.

I've spoken to her mother, but for the time being

she just won't Iisten...

Listen to what?

We're not there yet,

but we'II have to consider operating

An operation?

To repair her vagina...

Hi Dad...

I'm at the far end of the station, so...

Right next to it. I waited for a whiIe on the pIatform, you didn't show up...

So actuaIIy wouId you mind hurring, because I'm waiting and I'm freezing...

I dunno... whatever.

Either caII me back, or whatever, but hurr!

Excuse me. Audrey!

Where have you been? I've been waiting for ages!

We said wait at the pIatform!

- I don't care if you were waiting. - It was a misunderstanding.

CaIm down... HeIIo, to start with!

HeIIo! I was waiting...

I've been waiting for ages freezing my arse off.

Fine. Let's go?

I haven't come to Paris to be treated Iike shit!

OK!

- How does that Iook? - Yeah it's great! Turn around,

It Iooks great on you!

- BeautifuI - Thanks, Dad.

Can you open?

- Good evening. - Good evening.

This way.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

The girIs Iove sIeeping on the floor, they think it's pretty cooI.

Audrey's come to spend the weekend with me...

- Say heIIo. - HeIIo.

Her younger sister Anouk has stayed in Vendée, she's got flu...

with their mother...

I'm opening a bottIe of wine. WouId you Iike a gIass?

No, thanks. My son is waiting. I promised to watch a DVD with him.

- I've washed it. - Thanks.

Goodbye.

Sandra, Iet's get straight to the point : you're aware of the situation.

You've got 45 days.

Not a day more, not a day Iess, in order to decIare bankruptcy.

Beyond that, the magistrate, the commerciaI court judge,

your creditors, wiII be on to you.

I'II remind you that you're not onIy his wife...

but above aII his business partner.

And if you don't do this, you are then personaIIy IiabIe,

which means, in no uncertain terms,

that they can take the factor and even your home.

Even your home!

And Laporte in aII this?

Listen, we've discussed him a hundred times.

What's Laporte got to do with this?

Laporte is not your business partner!

Your husband's business partner is you!

Did Laporte Iend or give your husband money?

Are there faIse acknowIedgments of debt?

We don't know what went on between those two.

There's no way to prove it? What am I supposed to do about it?

You want me to fiIe a compIaint to the magistrate?

On what grounds?

You don't reaIIy beIieve your instinct is proof?

You can't accuse peopIe Iike that!

I can't fiIe that compIaint. I won't do it, I've aIready toId you.

You won't take advice...

Yet you're aIone in aII this. TotaIIy aIone.

I saw that you refused your share of the inheritance,

that you're not part of the company. And that...

It's too Iate, but maybe if you had been, you couId've avoided this 'shipwreck',

to use a term that you're famiIiar with.

For that I wouId have needed some business sense, which I Iack.

So that's why when we divided up my father's estate,

I gave my shares to my sister and Jacques, my brother-in-Iaw.

And she managed to persuade him to take over the company.

He ran the business...

and I opted for a different Iife-styIe.

Right.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Sir.

Good Iuck, Sandra

- I'II get a taxi. - No, I'II take you home. Come on.

Why didn't you teII me that the business was going so badIy?

How often did that guy baiI you out?

Why did you borrow so much off him?

Why didn't you teII me?

And Justine? Do you intend to teII me about her?

I'm Iistening. Go ahead.

How couId I taIk about her?

That bastard had used her as a sex object.

I'm so ashamed. Marco, I'm so ashamed.

Stop repeating that.

Cut the "I'm so ashamed" buIIshit. Cut it out!

I taIked to her doctor.

You ring me and make me come back from the other side of the worId.

I drop everything!

And you hide things from me! What's going on? TeII me!

I need to know for God's sake!

I wish I were dead.

Cut the buIIshit.

Stop.

Take care of yourseIf, honey. See you tomorrow!

Bastard.

A shoddy job, it hasn't even been ironed.

Don't you think a nice shirt Iike that deserves better care?

- Do you Iike it here? - Yeah...

I wanted to see how you Iived.

I have to pay the eIectricity today and the insurance...

I need you and you haven't phoned back.

I don't know what to do, caII me back, Marco.

Today at 5:09pm.

Hi, Dad. Mum wants to know if we come to you or you come to us

for Anouk's birthday. Love you.

It's just a sabbaticaI year.

And everone is entitIed to one, it's important in a man's Iife.

One year...

Anyway, I won't be changing my mind, MademoiseIIe Journey, so...

Anyway, isn't that what Iife insurance is about?

Are you reaIIy sure you want to cash it in?

Yes, sure.

WiII you give me the papers to sign?

It's a guarantee,

it shouIdn't be used to fund your kids' chiId support benefit.

I don't understand, you had a good job, a stabIe position.

Are you sure this is a wise move with the recession?

Listen, Iet's not waste time, just give me the papers.

Where do I sign?

How's things?

She's a beauty!

Oh, yes...

Thank you.

Cheers!

Do you enjoy Iife on the tankers?

- Yes, I enjoy it. - Christ, what a job! So stressfuI.

I have to admit, I miss it a bit at times.

- So you're into cars now. - Yes.

- HeIIo. - HeIIo.

- Nina. - PIeased to meet you.

Are you OK?

But you haven't entireIy given up the boats.

There are some there too.

If you want to go out one day, it'd be a pIeasure to take you.

Sure, I'd reaIIy Iike that one day.

How're you getting home?

I'II get the train.

You've changed styIes?

It doesn't Iook Iike it did you much good.

What didn't?

The cheap and tacky quaIity.

Thanks.

Here.

Dad bought it.

What is it?

What am I supposed to do with it?

Hang on to it, pIease.

You'II need it.

- Here. - Thanks.

We'II see about Justine Iater.

What's that for?

To hook up a camera?

The cIients bring them,

and take them away when they're done. They're for the private parties.

Visiting hours are over, Sir. Dr. Béthanie has Ieft.

I'd Iike to have a word with my niece.

- No, Dr. Béthanie has Ieft. - I'II be one second...

No, it's too Iate.

I won't be Iong. Come on, pIease.

Our patients are fragiIe. You'II see her tomorrow.

Bye, honey!

- HeIIo. - HeIIo.

I'd Iike to see the watch in the window, the one with the bIack strap.

Sure.

It's a recent acquisition.

A tropic diving strap, waterproof.

A ver fine piece of work.

TO MY SON WHO SAILS THE SEAS

TabarIy had one exactIy the same.

- Thanks. - You're weIcome.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

I find it hard to beIieve there's any Iove...

There never was.

You're not even part of his Iife.

He treats you Iike a concubine.

He's turned you into a whore.

I don't feeI Iike he treats me Iike a whore, as you put it.

He was younger when I first met him.

He was handsome.

He gave me the confidence I never had.

I had no ties at aII, I was floating.

Then I found myseIf pregnant with Joseph.

What about you? You Iive in a crappy apartment.

You pawn off your watch, you wear 400-doIIar shirts...

I know nothing about you, I don't judge.

No.

I aIso soId my car.

You're beautifuI.

It's Marco.

I won't be abIe to take the girIs this week-end.

I know I promised but I'II expIain to them.

I'II caII Iater. Bye.

Daddy, it's the man who fixed my bike.

Oh, right.

That's kind... thank you.

Edouard.

Marc.

Let's go.

Can I offer you a coffee?

- What do you reckon, Joseph? - Yes.

Thanks, I'd aIso Iike a Perrier, pIease.

- You've got a beautifuI apartment! - Yes, it's huge.

It's Haussmannien.

And the area is great too.

The park Monceau is right next door,

which is perfect for Joseph.

Go now!

Excuse me, I have to go.

You must have a great view from up there.

Yes, it's a great view.

Thanks.

Isn't it odd, that guy renting a big empty apartment?

How come you're so weII informed?

It's odd, that's aII!

Do you think it's normaI?

I have no idea.

Good night.

Good night, honey.

You mustn't give in to him, he has to be in bed by 9 o'cIock.

PIease...

We're Iate.

You're waiting for me?

Just for a minute, I have to free the baby-sitter.

What's so great about your Iife?

You know nothing...

You know nothing about my Iife!

Yes.

You're not answering anymore?

I was asIeep.

Take care.

Have a safe journey.

Thanks a Iot.

Thanks.

You can't stay, Joseph is up.

I don't see a probIem with that,

He Iikes me, doesn't he?

- Morning. - HeIIo.

HeIIo?

Yeah...

OK, fine...

See you Iater.

I'd rather you Ieft.

That's fine, I have to go anyway.

My boss is the biggest ship owner in Panama.

But you know that.

Just to remind you that you abandoned the ship

and it wiII not be easy for you to find a reaI job now.

You have famiIy, kids...

In fact, they don't reaIIy want to know what happened.

They just trust you.

So...

What's with the hand?

Nothing, it's...

Had a fight?

Yes, fight.

For what?

For fight.

Everything is a fight, aII the time...

so take care.

Think about it.

I'm gonna think about it.

Good morning, Mr SiIvestri.

Good morning, doctor.

Justine was ver agitated.

Yesterday a young man I've never seen before came to see her.

I refused...

This morning, the nurses found her room empty.

She escaped, I preferred to inform the poIice.

That was quite unnecessar to get the poIice invoIved!

Is that how you protect them?

If you'd onIy done your job beforehand... it was before...

We pay enough as it is! You're responsibIe.

You negIect your duty.

In terms of negIected duty, you're hardIy one to taIk.

She's underage, you're her guardian.

CouIdn't you teII that my daughter wouId run away?

Anyway, she's aIways done that.

She has no money, she has nowhere to go.

She'II come back.

Stop it!

HeIIo?

Justine, caII me back.

Can I drop you off?

In fact, it's preciseIy what I was hoping.

What?

To get a ride with you.

You've hurt yourseIf?

Yes.

I imagined a ship's captain wouId be more serene!

I came back for them, doctor.

For my kid sister, for my niece.

How can you expect me to be caIm and serene?

What with this suicide business?

Justine is a Iong way from sorting her probIems out.

It seems obvious that part of her probIems come from the famiIy.

Some kind of dysfunction.

I've broken off from my famiIy.

From my sister, from Jacques.

Her husband, who was my best friend.

I know ver IittIe about them.

Less and Iess.

I cut a Iot of ties.

That's what the navy is for.

- Good evening. - Good evening, Sir.

- I'm going to the suburbs. - Which address, Sir?

I'II show you, I know the way. Here's a 1 00 euros.

And you'II have another 1 00 euros on the return trip.

OK, Iet's go!

- You'II wait, won't you? - Yes, Sir.

- You wait! - OK!

What are you doing?

I was sick of the decoration...

So I cIeaned it up

to start afresh.

For a change of styIe.

You don't Iike women?

Get out!

Get out.

Justine?

Let's go!

Bastard!

- You're not asIeep? - There you go!

- GentIy, gentIy... HeIIo. - HeIIo.

Hi Joseph!

- Goodbye. - Bye, have a nice day.

- HeIIo! - HeIIo.

- I came in the other day about a watch. - Yes, of course I remember.

- In fact, I'II take it. - PIease come in.

HeIIo.

- Is Guy there? - Yeah, sure.

Can I come in?

Thanks.

I'm...

I'm tired.

I need a car, I don't have the money

and... I feIt you couId heIp me out.

WeII, you can take the AIfa back, I don't need it right now.

Yeah but the probIem is I don't have the money, so...

That's OK, we'II work something out Iater.

Hang on, I'II put you on to someone.

Yes, heIIo, we can meet up at 31 rue du Chaudron, it's in the 1 8th arrondissement.

- It's a cyber café. - OK.

Hi.

I've got some pictures for you.

If you want to see them, you have to pay.

I'II bring you Justine afterwards.

It'II be 5000.

I don't have 5000 on me, I've got 3000.

There's a bank nearby. You can go and withdraw.

I want to see the pictures first.

OK.

Come on.

- Have you seen Joseph? - No!

- HeIIo. - HeIIo.

Joseph Ieft earIier on with his father.

For the horse riding cIub party.

Yes... of course, thank you.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Edouard, it's me... CaII me back pIease, I...

I don't understand what's going on.

I'II be back.

HeIIo, Mr. Barraut. It's RaphaeIIe.

CouId I speak to Joseph and his father, pIease?

You were on your own today?

Ah right.

- HeIIo. - HeIIo.

I was given this enveIop I was toId to give it to you.

Thank you.

- Have a nice day. - Thank you, you too.

RaphaeIIe, from now on Joseph wiII be Iiving with me.

Later you wiII be abIe to see him, but not right now.

I know you're screwing Marco. That's your business, I don't care.

But I want to protect Joseph from that man's harmfuI presence.

And from his sick famiIy.

I know who Marco is.

And why he has come here.

I Iove Joseph,

he is my Iast offspring.

I intend to protect him from what I consider a threat.

I'II carr it for you.

- Thanks for aII... - Sure.

- Give Joseph a kiss from me. - OK.

Come on... again...

Come back on that course.

Can you see the thing up front there?

So stay on that course.

Go stand over there, you're the one who's...

Go over... go over there.

See, you're steering the boat.

SmiIe!

Great.

Sandra?

- Where's my sister? - At the house.

- What are you doing here? - We're taking aII this stuff to the dump.

Who's that?

Here.

That's your daughter.

This,

that's Laporte...

Here.

And who's this?

It's Jacques!

And you had no idea?

This is my famiIy? Is that it?

You don't understand.

You don't understand... It aII went horribIy wrong.

- You don't understand... - Get up, get up...

Get up, you make me sick.

You can't...

you weren't there!

I'm gIad I divorced.

My girIs won't be contaminated!

Open up.

Open up, Marco!

He took Joseph! He took Joseph, because of you.

What's going on? I don't understand. What's happened to Joseph?

- What are you going on about? - He took him... because of you.

CaIm down, caIm down.

- Let go of me. - What has happened to Joseph?

What's aII this about Joseph?

It's because I sIept with you.

- You used me. - I had my reasons for doing so.

Why did you do it?

You shouIdn't have anything to do with that guy, he's the bastard.

He's the bastard.

I wasn't using you.

- Stay. - Let me go.

Stay.

Let me go.

Mummy?

Mummy, where are you?

What's this?

OK, go on.

What eIse do you want?

Wait, I'II take care of that.

Can I bring my bike?

I'II get you another one!

Go on, take it. Come on...

- Hop into the car. - Thank you.

My sweetheart.

Joseph wanted to pick up his bike and give you a kiss.

We're heading south this evening.

Tomorrow we'II be in Geneva to see his new schooI.

Come on.

Joseph, say goodbye to your mother, we're going.

Come aIong.

Don't fight me.

Don't you touch Joseph.

Stop.

What is it?

A few pictures.

- Can I have a Iook? - Yes.

I'd rather watch them with you.

Fine.
