ONE YEAR EARLIER
Arnaud,
Creating a perfume is about combining three notes,
The top note,
which fades after a few minutes,
The middle note,
which lasts for several hours,
And lastly, the base note,
which lingers on the skin for days,
Arnaud,
do you know what has clung to my skin for 24 years?
The smell of flowers and soil,
The day I gave birth to my daughter in your fields,
That's my base note,
My middle note
is the memory of her cries
when, that same day, the nurse took her away,
My top note is a blend
of guilt and rage,
You made me believe that, as she wasn't planned,
and as I didn't even know I was pregnant,
the only solution was to abandon her,
I thought if I forced myself to forget,
she would eventually fade away,
I rebuilt everything,
far away from Grasse,
Far away from the young woman who had nothing,
who was nothing,
Now,
I'm pregnant again,
Apart from my doctor, no one knows I've carried a child before,
Since this baby began to grow inside me,
the scent of the past has resurfaced,
I'll have this one, Nadia,
It follows me,
Heady,
nauseating,
I throw up every morning,
My husband thinks it's the pregnancy,
I can't tell him the truth,
I'm ashamed,
Ashamed of my cowardice,
Ashamed of your wrongdoing,
All I think about is her,
My daughter,
whom I abandoned,
Now,
it's time to pay for the mistakes of the past,
I give you no choice,
ALBA I'VE FOUND HER
I've had someone find her,
Her name is Alba,
She's 24 years old,
You and I
are going to apologise,
And you're going to give her what she has always deserved,
Your precious roses,
among which she should have grown up
and been loved,
UNDER A DARK SUN
Fuck!
Béatrice!
Don't you dare die, Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Help!
- Fuck, - What's going on?
Move!
Béatrice, squeeze my hand if you hear me,
Security!
- Her pulse is very weak, - Yes,
- Béatrice? - A patient has been attacked,
Who are you? How did you get in?
Her breathing's weak, She's lost blood,
We need an ambulance now!
Squeeze my hand if you hear me,
Is Joséphine secured?
Of course, Secured and sedated,
- I'll go and find someone, - Okay,
Béatrice, can you hear me?
Squeeze my hand if you hear me,
Béatrice, answer me,
Béatrice,
Mathieu!
Mathieu?
Mathieu? I need to talk to you,
- Okay, - I didn't see,
Did you lose consciousness?
- I think so, Yes, - Okay,
- It's this way, - I got a call when they heard it was her,
Oh, so you know the girl?
Pretty well, yes, I cleared her of murdering Mrs Lasserre's husband,
We put her in the infirmary,
Here,
INFIRMARY STAFF ONLY
All units!
Suspect on the run, I repeat, suspect on the run,
She's a young woman, Around 25 years old, brown hair,
She was in Mrs Lasserre's room,
Where is she?!
She's losing a lot of blood,
It's going to be okay,
Stay with us,
Come on, Hang in there,
I can’t keep her stable for long,
ROOM MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
We're losing her,
She's flatlining, Adrenaline,
Injecting adrenaline,
Welcome, Béatrice,
So, here we are,
Not yet, Not quite,
Can you be more specific?
I know you have a lot of questions,
Unfortunately, you don't have much time left,
Sorry,
I don't make the rules,
I don't want to play any more,
Anyway, I've never had much luck,
The more I played, the more I lost,
Believe me, my love, you won't want to lose this one,
No more bets,
Mum?
Joséphine?
What are you doing here?
Joséphine?
Sorry,
I didn't mean to scare you,
No!
You have no right,
- No right! - Okay,
Calm down,
I won't hurt you,
You can trust me, I swear,
You knew my mother,
Look,
Do you recognise her?
You were friends, right?
Right?
- Nadia, - Yes,
Yes, that's her,
Blood,
Blood everywhere,
She's here! Room 201!
Don't do that!
Let me in!
Open up!
It's going to be okay,
Listen, I'm here with you,
Nothing can happen to you, I won't let them hurt you,
Why "blood"?
What happened to my mother?
Help!
Nadia, wake up!
On her skin, On my dress,
Help!
The smell of roses and,,,
Help!
,,,blood,
I found them,
Nadia and her baby,
A little girl,
You were there?
The baby was crying,
Open up! Police!
- Police, Open up! - Nadia passed out,
Nadia!
I needed to get them to hospital, right away,
The doctors asked me to leave,
I waited,
I waited for hours,
I waited,
All alone,
I called and
no one answered,
Except him, He came,
Who?
Arnaud,
He was scared,
Joséphine,
Scared?
Why?
Because it was his baby,
It was his daughter,
I brought you into my family, I convinced Mathieu to marry you,
I always supported you,
- I know, but what you're asking,,, - Listen,
I made a terrible mistake when I cheated on Béatrice,
But I can't lose everything over it,
I'm sorry you're caught up in all this,
But no one can know,
No one,
Not even Mathieu,
Do you promise?
Why did he lie to you?
He's not my father,
It's Mathieu,
Mathieu?
Stop pretending, I've kept my word for ten years,
You were lying to me all this time!
Mathieu told me everything,,, His affair with Nadia!
I know you're not the child's father,
It's Mathieu!
Nonsense,
Why did you lie to me?
It's all in your head,
We'll look after you, You'll forget these crazy ideas!
No, I'm not sick!
It's you, You're a liar!
You're a liar!
All you care about is my money!
No!
- No! - Let me go!
Stop! Let her go!
Oh, fuck,
Mathieu?
Hello, This is the Grasse Hospital intensive care unit,
Your mother, Béatrice Lasserre, is here in emergency care,
- Excuse me? - Your mother is in a coma,
Her condition's critical, You should come immediately,
I'm sorry, I have to find my brother first,
So, I,,,
Sorry, Sorry!
Hi, this is Alba, I'm not here right now, So, leave me a,,,
APOLLON ARCHERY CLUB
Hello?
Hi, this is Léo,
I don't know where my mum is,
Can you call your sister and ask her?
Sure, If you want,
And can we meet up, please?
I don't want to be alone,
Hold on, I only started this job three months ago so,,,
My predecessor was responsible for admitting Joséphine,
At the time, Joséphine's disappearance wasn't deemed suspicious,
but voluntary,
Voluntary?
No,
Arnaud just did a good job,
Oh, really? You're the big detective now?
Is that it?
And Arnaud had Joséphine admitted for,,,
- For what, exactly? - To destroy her,
Arnaud was obsessed with his reputation,
With appearances,
He'd do anything to keep control of his family,
And Joséphine, she,,,
She was the only Lasserre who knew I existed,
Hold on, I'm finding this a bit hard to follow,
I'm not Arnaud's bastard child,
I'm Mathieu's,
Mum,
Mum, it's me,
Mum,
Mum, it's me,
Can you hear me?
FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON JULES VERNE
Where did you find that book?
Here,
A page has been torn out, It had a message on it,
"To my brother, who I love to the moon and back,"
It's the book I gave Hadrien,
It was Mum's favourite,
Joséphine,
Hadrien,
Has he been here?
Did he read this book to you?
Was it him?
How long has he known you're here?
How long?
Why didn't he tell you he found her?
I don't know,
Arnaud's murder,
It was never about the inheritance,
It was revenge,
A son who wanted to avenge his mother,
No,
Think about it,
Hadrien digs into Arnaud's secrets,
He finds Joséphine,
He finds me,
He thinks it's because of me, the bastard child, that all this happened,
So he sets me up,
And kills Arnaud in revenge,
No way, He'd never do that,
Where is he?
Where is Hadrien?
I don't know,
Call him,
Hurry!
He's just left me a message,
Yeah, it's me,
Your friend Alba's lost the plot,
I just collected Léo, He's in a right state,
He's at the house with me,
Alba, wait!
- What are you doing? - It's Hadrien, He has my son,
I'm getting tired of your bullshit,,,
Fuck!
- Cut the crap! - Shut up! He's my son,
My son! Come on,
Let's go!
You're gonna regret this!
Stop right there!
- Stop! - Move!
Alba!
Alba, wait!
Alba!
- Come, - Wait,
I bet she's in trouble again,
My family is cursed,
No,
Everything that happens to us
has a cause,,,
and a consequence,
What does that mean?
You don't need to keep making excuses for your mum,
I shouldn't have come,
This is your home,
Enjoy it while it lasts because soon it'll all be gone,
- What? - You haven't heard?
We're broke,
- The house, the garden, It'll all be gone, - And you find it funny?
A bit,
Alba, I'm begging you,
I beg you not to hurt him,
He's my little brother,
He's mine too,
Arnaud's not my father,
It's Mathieu,
In my family, everyone wears a mask,
So I've ended up wearing one too,
Mum,

Alba,
You've made me do something I hate,
Improvise,
Stop!
Let go!
Mathieu!
How did you find me?
Because I know you,
Why are you wet? What have you done?
Something daft,
Don't ever do it again, Understood?
Never, I forbid you,
There's something I need to tell you,
Where is he?
Hadrien!
No! Hadrien,
No, Please!
No!
It's my fault,
It should have been me,
It should've been me,
I'm sorry,
Léo!
- It's okay, I'm here, - I didn't mean to, I swear!
I'm here, What happened?
It's him, He has the tattoo, It's him,
The tattoo?
The tattoo,,,
Mum,
I'm going to lose everything,
But so will you,
- I'll confess to everything, - No,
Léo will go to prison,
Convicted of murdering an innocent man,
No,
- He'll grow up far away, - No,
The only times you'll see him will be in a visiting room,
No!
No,
You're going to say
that Léo was defending himself,
Because Hadrien is the murderer,
Hadrien
killed Arnaud,
That's what we'll say,
Okay?
- Our silence in exchange for yours, - Shut up!
I'd rather die,
No, Mum!
Don't do it!
No,
No!
Okay, Do you have a loyalty card?
- Double burger! - 122,
Here you go, Take it,
- And one bucket, There you go, - Thanks,
It's coming,
Come on, Let's go!
There you go, Enjoy,
I'm off,
- See you tomorrow, Alba, - Bye,
- Now? - Hang on, You're cheating,
Okay, stop,
- Now? - No,
Wait,
One,
two,
three!
Ta-da!
I signed the lease yesterday,
- We can't afford this, - We can,
I'm on a permanent contract,
First step to getting rich,
Go ahead, I'll let you pick your room,
There's only one, so it won't be hard, There it is,
What, don't you like it?
Yeah, but,,,
What's up?
I can't stop thinking about what happened,
Nothing happened beyond what we told the police,
- So now you need to forget about it, - But I can't,
Léo,
You carried me all those years,
Even when it wasn't your job,
That's over now, okay?
Things are back how they should be,
No need to be scared now,
Your fear,,,
I'm taking it away,
- Can I see the room? - Yes, go on,
Go ahead,
Oh, yeah, It's not bad!
Hello?
Yes,
FOR SALE EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY
So, you're still not drinking? That's great,
Yes, Mum, It is, You could be more supportive,
I am! I'm very proud of your brother,
I didn't have much choice,,,
True, Hitting rock bottom in order to rise up stronger,
I know all about that,
I don't believe it!
Look who's back,
Hi,
Hello,
Don't tell me it was our mysterious buyer
who asked you to come?
It was their lawyer,
He insisted,
Sure seems he knows all about us,
So, you're selling everything?
To a stranger?
I'll leave my rotten, thorn-covered roses to whoever wants them,
By the way, let me remind you
that you won't see a penny
from this sale,
You're no longer part of Arnaud's will since,,,
Since Mathieu is my father,
Yes,
I know,
Don't worry,
I don't want anything,
Not from you,
And yet, here you are,
Maybe I needed to come here one last time,
To remind myself how little I care about the place,
That makes two of us,
- Three, - Well, I care,
I mean,,,
We could reconsider, Start over instead of selling for a song,
For a song? Come on,
We're getting top dollar,
Which was unexpected,
So, everything we went through, this whole nightmare,,,
- It was for nothing? - Stop it,
It wasn't so long ago you wanted to leave, Now you want to fight for the debt?
I don't want us to rush into a sale,
It's like punishing ourselves for Hadrien,
Don't talk about him,
We've not fully processed it yet, but,,,
It'll be okay,
I didn't know you'd be here,
I'm glad to see you,
So, we're selling,
We sell and forget, A bit like you, Mum,
Still no memories from the attack at the clinic?
Nothing,
My brain has erased it all,
A kind of self-protection,
In the end, Hadrien got what he wanted,
The end of the estate,
Of this family too, probably, Well done to him, He won,
Stop it,
He was my son,
You don't think it's eating me up?
How he could have done all those terrible things?
I'm not selling to punish myself,
but because otherwise it'll kill me,
Alba,
I didn't thank you
for saving my life, so,,,
Thank you,
You're welcome,
Right, how about some fizz?
- While we wait,,, - I don't drink any more, I told you,
I won't either, Out of solidarity,
Lucie, how about you?
No,
Please, Alba,
I've had enough of all this sadness,
It's the last time we'll see each other,
I'll drink to that,
To family,
And let's not forget how wonderful it is
not to know what lies ahead,
