A Decent Man (2015) - full transcript

A DECENT MAN

Come in.

Hello.

Thank you for seeing me
and sparing me some time.

I know how precious it is
so I'll be direct.

I think your head of acquisition

could be interested
in our services.

Instead of sending out
our new catalogue by mail

I'd rather present it in person

and answer his questions.

No, we have too much stock,



and a cash flow problem.

I'm sorry to waste your time...

No! Don't apologize!

Never apologize.

Exist.

Repeat the problem and reconstruct.

Unfortunately that problem occurs often.

But the fact you're addressing it,
shows you want to solve it.

Very good! Great.

It's justifiable.

Perhaps we could...

See the difference, Ahmed?
You're confident and strong.

You're professional.

You have self esteem.



Right.

Do you feel it?

Yes, I feel different.

Carry on.

Perhaps we could discuss the reason,
in your view,

for this surplus stock.

That's it!
You've got a meeting!

See,

he nailed it.

And that same guy

landed a permanent contract.

As I talk to you, he's at work.

You now.

Me?

- Yes, you. Asleep?
- No.

Come on.

Mr Moreau...

Eddie.

Let's watch Eddie in that exercise.

Brenda! Be the executive
secretary, please.

- Do I start outside?
- Yes.

Go for it.

Hello.

No! No one said come in.

- Do you enter people's homes like that?
- No.

Neither do we.

Go. Be convincing.

Come in.

Hello.

Moreau. Eddie.

Hello, Mr Moreau.

I'd like a meeting
with the sales manager.

- Mr Goudineau?
- Yes.

I won't waste your time,
I'll get to the point.

Focus on the client.

Don't look at me.

Say it.

I'd like to see the sales manager.

- Mr Goudineau?
- Absolutely.

It's impossible right now.

And he's in a meeting later.

Long time no see.

I gotta get back into it.

Let me shoot?

Pay your license, you can shoot.

Go on. No messing.

Another Ricard.

Yeah, another one.

Had a good day?

C'mon! Please.

We don't go to a movie at 6 p.m.

Hurry up.

When I say no, it's no.

But you said we'd go!

It's too late.

You said we could!

- The dentist then back to Mum's.
- You never keep your promises.

- Hurry up.
- No.

I'm your dad, not your pal!
Got it?

So pipe down.

Cheat!

Noam!

Bye, dude.

Be good.

Work well.

I'm watching you.

Let me handle the movie, OK?

Yes?

It's me.

Seen the time?

I wanted to call, no more battery.

It's not very late.

You could have called me.

Well, thanks for having Noam.

No problem. If you need me, ask.

You alright?

Bye.

What?

Goodbye.

Bye.

'Evening.

Hi.

- Jeanne.
- Eddie.

Raphaëlle.

- Bianca.
- Good to meet you.

Cheers!

- Like another drink?
- No, thanks.

- Go on.
- No, I'm fine.

What do you do?

I work... not very glamorous...

In a bank.

I was a financier
and assistant manager for 6 years.

Then the National Bank poached me.

Cool.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

My card's not working, sorry.

- What?
- Card's dead, sorry.

No worries, it's my treat.

No, it's fine, don't worry.

It's not that...

Bye then!

Ah, right...

Yeah...

I'm going that way.

- How about a kiss?
- No.

Ah yeah...

Take my number.

- See you around.
- No strings.

Hang loose.

Take my number.

Will you see me home after all?

Sure I will, I offered to.

Thank you, I withdrew
too much money this week.

- Hey, what's up, guys?
- Fuck off.

- What are you doing?
- Your car?

Then fuck off.

Beat it with your slag.

Fuck off with your bitch!

Back off!

- That's no way to talk.
- Fuck off!

What's going on with you?

Wait, I'll handle this.

Eddie, I'm going.

Wait! Give me a minute.

You're a psycho.

Come here.

Get over here and apologize.

You coming on to me?

Shut up!

Apologize!

What's going on?

Go home.

OK, but control your kids.

Eddie! Let's go!

Go fuck yourself, cunt.

What?

- Talking to me that way?
- Lost your balls?

What the shit are you?

Bitch!

Cunt!

Faggot!
You piece of shit!

Cool it!

- And he wants more!
- Motherfucker!

What's he doing?

- He's a joker.
- I'm a joker?

Find me funny?

Let him go, motherfucker!

Let him go!

It's fucked!

Medah, what did you do?

We're out of here!

Mr Moreau?

Can you hear me?

I'm a police officer.

You were beaten up, remember?

Can you make a statement?

Can we contact your family?

Are you married?

What?

You said something?

I'm sorry...

What did you say?

Don't worry.
We're looking after you.

Hello! We're the morning team.

Watch out for the light.

Good morning!

Wakey wakey!

Hello! I'm the nurse.

For your blood pressure, OK?

Careful of your arm.

What a lovely sunny day!

You can lower it.

How was your night?

Make yourself comfortable.
We'll go gently.

Perfect. No marks.

Just a minor bruise
but it will fade very soon.

How's the pain?

On a scale from 1 to 10?

Hello, Doctor.

Hello, Robocop!

- How are you this morning?
- OK.

A new hero in our midst?

How are we doing?

- I want to vomit.
- It'll pass.

You're lucky to be in one piece.

It was pretty serious.

- How's the bandage?
- Excellent.

- Good. Test results?
- All normal.

So let's get up and shave,

not stay in bed.

And be nice to your liver.

You've been overdoing it.
So ease up.

What a shame to damage
such a cute boy.

Indeed.

How's the drip?

- Does the drip hurt?
- No.

Thank you.

Noam...

Don't touch.

Hey, dude.

How about a kiss?

I'm glad you're here.

Well?

What's up with you?

As you see...

It's not big but it's deep.

Does it hurt?

It feels tight.

What happened exactly?

I was in a bad place.

Some little shits. Scum.

Why didn't you shoot the bastards?

That's no way to talk.

Hear what your dad says?

You look tired.

He was up late at my parents.

Well done!

Why didn't you call right away?

What would it have changed?

Here.

What's this?

He was awarded special merit!

In drawing.

Drawing, yeah.

Merit in maths, I'd have freaked out!

Who's that? Me?

And all of them?

Who are they?

All the guys you straightened out.

Who I wasted?

Hello.

Do you remember me?

When you were in the basement ward?

You're his wife?

Yes.

You can be proud of your brave dad.

Get your coat, we're going.

Wait a minute.

- No, we're leaving.
- You only just arrived.

I have stuff to do.

We won't take long.

No, but...

Bye.

Call me.

Yep.

Sure?

- Goodbye.
- Bye, Dad.

We have some questions
to complete your statement.

You said you heard: "Medah!"
when they hit you.

Did I?

Medah and Ahmed sound alike...

Poor little dog...

- I didn't forget.
- You always put things off.

I'm going.

No!

Yes, I am.

Stay a bit longer.

Good night.

We'll meet tomorrow anyway.

Hi, Mum.

- Seen the time?
- I went to a movie.

- You could call.
- No more battery.

I won't eat, I'm not hungry.

You smell of cigarettes.
Can't you quit?

It was my friends.

- You OK?
- Do you see me?

Yep, I see you.

Do you love me?

Say you love me...

Look, I'm dead beat.
I'm up early tomorrow.

Remember we're visiting an apartment.

I arranged it.

Yes, but there's no rush.

But we don't have time, Ahmed.

If you don't make a move...

Not now.
I gotta get up early.

Up you get, sweetheart.

It hurts your eyes.

Sleep well, sweetie?

Time to get up.

OK, I'll fix your breakfast.

Get up!

Time to get up!

Hello.

Getting up?

I must run, I'm late.

I dug your keys out.

Right!

Get up, you have an important meeting.

I know.

Get cracking.

I moved heaven and earth for it.

Heaven or earth?

Hi, Dad.

A kiss?

Right, I'm off.

Say hi to my boss for me!

See you tonight, sweetie.

- You better be good!
- No worries.

See you tonight.

'Morning.

I have a meeting with Régis Labrecque.

Excuse me.

- Eddie! Hello.
- Hello.

Sit down.

It's a forklift operator job.

I have good and bad news.

Bad news: you won't work
the same shifts as Karine.

Good news: I got you
a 3 month fixed-term contract,

renewable after a trial period.

Nothing going in sales?

Like selling beds, sofas, kitchens?

My training was in sales.

You don't understand, Eddie.

Usually the recruitment process
is carried out in stages.

I only agreed to see you so quickly

because I like Karine
and we all appreciate her.

She told us what happened to you.

And it seemed normal
to do our best to help.

There are lots of openings
for promotion here.

If this goes well
we can envisage something else.

- What's the pay?
- Fork lift operator?

A forklift operator's salary for Eddie?

A forklift operator?

- Minimum wage, a bit over.
- Just what I thought.

- Up for it?
- Yes.

- So you accept?
- Sure!

- You do?
- Yes, sorry.

- Welcome to Homea!
- Thank you.

Call me back, I'm lost...

I'm looking for the way.

Where were you?

At work. Where are we?

- What is this place?
- Come on.

Cuckoo, baby!

- Well?
- Well, what?

Like it?

Yeah. So what?

Make an effort, can't you?

Don't you want us
to live together now?

You don't want this child!

What do you mean?

What's up? Where are you going?

- Estelle!
- Let me go!

- Put your belt on.
- Let me go!

You're fucking my head up.

Here, it's for you.

Go on, open it.

Why don't you open it?

Shit.

Hello, sir. Police check.

Cut the engine.
Vehicle documents, please.

Fuck this.

Here.

Thanks.

Check it.

- It's not your car?
- A friend lent it to me.

- Get out, sir.
- Something wrong?

We'll see.

Come along, sir.

Let me go!

Let me go, you have no right!

Don't touch me!
You have no right!

Ahmed!

Calm down, Miss.

Why are you arresting him?

For a police check.

Estelle!

Let me go, fuckers!

Return to your vehicle, please.

Calm down, Miss.

Move along, sir.

The stairs on your left.

Watch out for the step.

Where are we going?

You'll see, sir.

What did we do?

Move along.

Wait here.

They pulled in all the Ahmeds in town!

C'mon. Let's go.

Why the fuck are we here?

Quiet please.

Why are we here?

I won't repeat it.

Silence.

Move along.

Stop.

It's mental.

- May we know why we're here?
- You will soon.

Line up.

Up against the wall.

Hands off, I'm not your dog.

Hold this,
look at the glass pane.

Step to your left, please.

Shut up and look straight ahead.

Step aside.

No one move.

Excellent.

Number 2, step forward.

Raise your head, look ahead.

I said raise your head.

Number 3.

Did he stab you
with a screwdriver?

It's important.
Stay focused.

- His face rings a bell.
- You must be sure.

You can't be vague.

He was wearing a hood.

A hood? Right.

Have Number 3 step forward.

Where did you pick him up?

That's irrelevant.

Let's say he's not a random choice.

OK.

First you recognize him,
now you're not sure?

Changed your mind?

No, I haven't.

Have you been drinking?

Not specially.

Just a glass at lunch.

- Yes, it's him.
- You must be sure.

I'm sure.

OK. It's him. Once. Twice.

We're there.

Good.

We're done. Number 3.

Let's go.

Coming, Mr Moreau?

Noam! Bedtime.

Is that scumbag in jail?

I'd have shot him.

Don't talk crap. Go to bed.

- A kiss for your dad?
- No.

Alright?

- Alright?
- Talking to me?

How do you feel?

I'm good.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm going to bed.

Won't you stay a bit?

I want to read.

- Shall I turn off the light?
- OK.

Good night.

Yeah, good night.

What is it?

What's going on?

What happened to us?

I was an asshole, I fucked up.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

Don't cry.

I'm sorry.

I missed you.

Just the two boxes.

- Not the other one?
- Nope.

- You cool?
- Yep, fine.

The first days are always cool.

You OK?

I gotta go, I'm 30 minutes behind.

And I must pick up Noam earlier.

- See you tonight?
- Yep.

See you later.

Coming.

Come on, I'll show you.

Hello, customers,

10 cost free credit installments,

for 500 euros spent
with our Homea card...

Right. Leave it here.

Can someone turn on the light?
Thanks.

Hurry up. We still have
the ground floor to do.

Eric, can you assemble this?

- I'm Eddie.
- Sorry, Eddie.

Can you assemble our "New Smile" table?
Thanks.

I'm back!

Ask about damage and interests.

And if you need a lawyer.

There.

You look great.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Mr Moreau.

Sit down.

- Where do I sit?
- Here.

I see your PIW is over.

- Do you feel better?
- I do.

Your doctor allows you
to go back to work?

I wanted to spare you
this confrontation but Mr Lunes,

who you say assaulted you,

still denies his involvement
and his presence there.

But don't worry,
this often happens.

Do you have a lawyer representing you?

No, I didn't know I needed one.

The other party will be
accompanied by his lawyer,

it's important that you do the same,

to claim your rights correctly.

Alright.

How is your son?

He's fine.

- Not too upset by all this?
- No, we try to...

Judge Cayla, we're ready.

Come in.

Uncuff the defendant.

Counsel, sit down.

I set up this confrontation
to clarify the matter.

Mr Lunes,

you still deny involvement
in the assault

and your presence on the scene?

Ma'am, I've never seen this man before.

It's nothing to do with me.
This is insane.

I've never seen him.

Stop your lunacy!
I don't know you!

No. You must only talk to me.

Tell your client to calm down,

for everyone's sake.

May I remind you of one thing:

my client signed an employment
contract that day.

So why would he get mixed up
in a car radio robbery?

The facts stated
by Mr Moreau are clear,

these are two different issues.

His innocence in the robbery

doesn't exclude assault.

He's talking rubbish.

I couldn't have hit him,
I wasn't there.

So you weren't there.

- I never had trouble on the estate.
- That's not exact.

I have your police record here.
"April 2003:

- "Drug possession and trafficking."
- I was under age!

You weren't convicted
but you do have a history.

As you said, his record is clean.
You can't...

Save your comments for later.

Look at me.
I have a job and a wife.

- We're moving in together.
- Calm down.

Naturally we're not questioning
your client's integrity.

But on one hand it was night time,

as Mr Moreau says in his statement,
I quote, D32:

"It was dark, I don't know
where the blows came from."

And the gravity of the assault

could have caused doubts.

Well, Mr Moreau,

you've heard what Mr Lunes says.

What do you think?

It all depends on you.
Look at Mr Lunes.

Tell us if you recognize your aggressor.

Three months later...

it's complicated but...
I have the same impression today.

Only an impression?

Stop this insanity.

Stop messing about!

You know you're wrong.
You know I did nothing!

Just tell her!

You don't like my face?
Because I'm an Arab?

Don't go there please, Mr Lunes.

It won't help you here or in court.

This is hard enough for Mr Moreau,

who is the victim in this affair.

Let's be clear.
At the police station

you only had an impression?

No, I said I was sure.
It's down in my file.

I don't talk nonsense.

I said that at the police station.

I don't talk nonsense.

So what do you say today?

Like I said at the police station.

Look at Mr Lunes.

Look at him carefully.

Tell us if you still recognize him.

Look at him.

- I don't need to take all day.
- Look hard.

- Are you sure of yourself?
- Yes, I'm sure.

I'll get him out of this.

We must convince the judges.

Hello, sir.

A brandy, please.

Same again.

How are you?

- Alright, man?
- Fine.

- Thanks for coming.
- Thanks for inviting me.

Your wife's been here a while,
someone will steal her!

Welcome!

Bar's over there.

Make yourself at home.

There's our little sunbeam.

Always smiling!

- You know Marc?
- No.

Marc! Meet Eddie.

Marc is our Homea manager in Aubagne.

Eddie is Karine's husband,
we lent him a hand...

He needed help and...

- Enjoy! See you later.
- You too.

Catch you later.
Have fun.

Like I said,
make yourself at home.

Here she is.

- You OK?
- Great!

- Having fun?
- Brilliant! Thank you.

I'm delighted.

Must circulate, see you later.

You took your time!

How pretty you are!

Not bad!

You're in with the boss?

I'm not the only one.
He's a simple guy.

Dead simple.

- Why did he invite us?
- Because we're simple folk.

That's why.

We're simple folk. He likes us.

- You mean he likes you.
- Right!

How did it go with the judge?

Not much to say.

- Did you see the guy?
- Yes.

- Well?
- Well what?

Wait, I'll get some food.

Take off your tie.

But it looks good.

Don't you like it on me?

Yes, but it's a bit formal.

- Cheesy, you mean?
- No, just formal.

I'm not posh enough?

Don't talk crap.

Alright?

Not dancing?

Your alcohol issue?
Karine told me.

No worries.

There you go.

- Cheers anyway.
- Cheers.

How's the job? Like it?

You know I don't.

- Didn't get that?
- Nothing.

Sorry, this is for me!

Thank you, guys!
Thanks a lot!

How are you?

And how are you?

I'm OK.

What's Mounhir doing?

Isn't he on the case?

He nabbed those two little shits.

They nicked the car radio.

He put the pressure on,
they'll go down.

What does Bonello say?

Your mum said he's seeing the judge.

Forget the judge.

She's into that nutter's lunacy.

She dissed me like I'm shit.

And that asshole.
He doesn't dare look at me.

Mounhir has his address.

He knows where he lives.

Have they lost it?
They mustn't touch him.

- It'll come back on me!
- Chill, Ahmed.

It's nothing to do with me.

I'll tell them, don't worry.

We're only trying to help you.

Are you alright?

Still feeling sick?

Have you told your parents?

Come and see me again?

Yes.

- Come back.
- Yes.

Let's go.

Noam, what are you doing?

Sleepy head!

I done nothing.

Got nothing better to do?

Who was it?

I don't know. Nobody.

Yesterday, before you got back,

just heavy breathing.

Who gives a shit?

For once we're all together.

We'll have a great Sunday.

I want to redo Noam's room.

So as we're both working...

Are you listening, Eddie?

OK. Before we move out.

We can't afford to move.

Not on your salary!

It'll change, trust me.

First thing to go is your TV.

What's wrong with it?

It's a joke!

- It's a very good TV!
- No.

- You liked it!
- 16/9 with 5.1 sound.

- Plasma! Awesome!
- Yep. Plasma.

We'll watch real films.
Not those lame oldies.

What's that on your wrist?

Nothing.

Roll up your sleeve.

Take off your top.

Let's see.

You had fun!

Like Dad?

Not bad!

Classy piece of work.

You moron.

The shower.

Beat it.

They're a fucking pain.

Got nothing fucking better to do?

Asshole!

Grab your stuff
and we're out of here. It's sunny.

Who is that jerk?

Who cares?

Hey, chill.

I can't take all these jerks.

We're together, it's cool.

We're good.

Smile!

- Aren't you glad we're together?
- Sure.

So? Aren't you happy?

Yeah, I'm happy.

Well?

Pricey.

An arm and a leg.

Hello there.

Can I help you?

We're looking for a TV,

but not in this price range!

Your big bonus with budget buys

is our cost free 10 installment plan.

We'll check it out, OK?

- Go ahead.
- Thanks.

Fuck...

First that crowd,
now a gridlock. Fuck!

He's out for the count.

What the fuck's he doing?

Bloody lamebrain.

Takes all the prizes!

You're full of hatred.

You hate.

A bunch of rednecks, right?

Doing their crap shopping.

Then back home to their crap houses.

So what are you doing?

Admit you're jealous of his car.

Jealous of what?

Their asshole faces? Thanks!

Dead classy.

And that fool stays put.

- Move, fuck it!
- You'll wake Noam.

What are you doing?

I'm out of here.

Don't look at me like that.

Can I have a word with you?

- Sure, sit down.
- Thanks.

Remember what you said
when you hired me?

I could change jobs
after my trial period.

No, at the end of your contract.

But I've proved myself.

You've seen my service notes.

They're good, you said so.

Super. But that's not the issue.

I can't switch you just like that.

They need you where you are,
as you're good.

I could do a trial in sales.

I've carried boxes for a month.

I was trained in sales.
It's my thing.

Eddie, I'm very fond of Karine,

and I like you.

I offered to help
when you were in trouble

but there are limits.

I can't fire a guy
and give you his job.

Can I?

Those guys are stars.
A winning team.

But I'll make you feel comfortable.

If you don't like it you can quit.

We must enjoy where we are,
otherwise what's the point?

Whatever.

Enjoy your meal.

I don't understand what you want.

What's your problem?

Aren't you sick of this?

What's it all about?

It's you the motherfuckers!

Just what do you want?

Put me on.

Who are you?

You're the shits who call nonstop?

Cut out this bullshit.

I've called the cops.
One more insult and I'll report you.

Hands off my family!

Fucking little shits!

Know who it is?

- Why should I?
- He knows you.

What?

He said tell your husband
he's a motherfucker.

You're hiding something.
There's an issue?

- I'm talking to you!
- Fuck this!

I said I don't know who it is!
Back off!

Fuck!

It's to do with the assault?

No! Why should they be connected?

One more call or insult,

I'll shoot the son of a bitch.

OK, it's not my business.

This came by registered post.

What is it?

You see the judge Tuesday 8th.

- It's still going on?
- Looks like it.

I told Régis you'd take the day off.

You call him Régis now?

Phone him personally?

You have a problem with that?

Spit it out.

Fuck this shit!

Fuck!

Go on, trash the place.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You destroyed me once.

I warn you, don't start again.

I'm sorry.
Look at me...

Mrs Moreau?

Have you seen
what happened downstairs?

No, what is it?

Mr Moreau? You better come
and see for yourself.

Look at that.

I've never seen anything like it here.

It was done just now.

- What's going on?
- Nothing. Stay with Mum.

- What happened?
- It's a bad joke.

Take him upstairs.

Good afternoon, Mr Moreau.

Sit down.

I'll get straight to the point.

Mr Lunes, I was informed
that Mr Moreau filed a complaint

for intimidation attempts,

telephone harassment
and verbal threats,

directed at his wife,
and recently an act of vandalism.

Do you have an explanation?

You can't accuse me!

It's impossible for my client
to commit anything.

Please.

I wasn't born yesterday.

I didn't do it!

You never do anything apparently.

Can you explain to your client...

Admit you ordered them to harass me.

To scare me so I'd retract.

He's mad!

- Too many movies.
- Don't talk that way!

- I'll talk as I like.
- No, don't talk to me that way!

Calm down please, gentlemen!

Whatever your implication is,
Mr Lunes,

this better stop right now.

Especially as the police
have arrested two men.

They were present,
their testimonies could clear you.

Clear him?

Did you know this, Mr Moreau?

No, I didn't.

The car radio thieves were arrested,

they don't know Mr Lunes
and they say he wasn't there.

That's what I said all along!

C'mon! Tell me about it!

So I want you to think
carefully before answering.

You are aware of the consequences.

The consequences of what?

I'm the victim! I don't get it!

- Aren't I the victim?
- I was stabbed by you guys!

- I'm dead sure!
- Listen...

He's trashing my life!
Harassing my wife and child!

Don't jump to conclusions.

It's all connected, don't you see?

- You piece of shit.
- Yeah!

Calm down, that's enough.

So Mr Moreau,
you stand by your statement?

Shouldn't I?

Of course I do.

You'll say so at the hearing.

I'm referring the case
to the criminal court.

You've had no more phone calls.

I sorted out those jerks.

What did you do?

What had to be done.

I look after my family.

I'm going for cigarettes.

- Can't you wait till tomorrow?
- I'll be back.

Mum, can I go with Dad?

Say yes!

What's up? Tired?

No, I'm good.

It's fine.

- Doing something nice this weekend?
- No idea.

What is it?

You promised.

Promised what?

You're starting to screw up.

I know you, I can feel it.

You know you can talk to me.

Talk to you?

About what?

Hello?

I'd like to speak to Mrs Cayla.

Yes, the judge.

OK, I'll hold on.

Ah shit!

What are you doing?

Shut the fuck up.

Where's your husband going?

I don't know.

Mrs Cayla.

First floor, sir.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

To see Judge Cayla.

Turn round.

You can go through.

Mr Moreau?

- Why are you here?
- To see the judge.

- She isn't here...
- I must talk to her.

- But you can't now.
- Why not?

The file is closed.

But this is very important!

Judge Cayla is no longer
in charge of the case.

- Can't anyone see me?
- Not now.

Your colleague is here...

The case has gone to court.
It's too late.

That's ridiculous.

I understand.
You can explain in court.

That's rubbish.

I'm sorry, I understand.

Do your homework, Noam.

I'm so sorry!

Mrs Moreau.

He was waiting in the rain
so I brought him in.

Why didn't you go home?

You had me scared.

I'm waiting for Dad,
we have a date.

- Did he say he'd come?
- He keeps repeating that.

I'm sorry, his father and I
must have got mixed up...

I don't know what happened.

I brought your mac, it's pouring.

Come on, love. Chin up.

Here.

Where's Dad?

It's cool.

My God!
Where did you find that?

In Dad's cupboard.

- You could be dead!
- It went off on its own.

You're a total idiot!

- It did!
- Don't talk to me like that!

- I couldn't help it!
- Shut up.

I'm sorry.

Open the door, I'm dead beat.

I know you're there, open up.

I can see your cell phone.

I just want to sleep on the sofa.

Why is that gun here?

Just in case...

- In case?
- That's right.

You'd rather be fucked over?

You know who found it?

It wasn't loaded,
it's my training pistol.

It was loaded, he fired it.

He's not hurt?

Is he hurt?

No.

No problem then.

I'll take it back to the club,
I promise. Open up.

Come on!

I don't want any more.

Any more?
What are you on about?

Stop this shit.
Open the door and let me in.

Shit!

- Take the chain off.
- This is the last time.

You leave me outside like a dog.

What are you doing?

You're losing it, Eddie.

You quit your job,
you insult Labrecque...

Fuck Labrecque!

I don't give a shit about that moron!

"Lending me a hand"!

- I'm going to bed.
- No, wait!

I want to talk to you.

About us, about Noam,
and the house...

- We're gonna be fine.
- Stop it.

I've had enough.

Shit.

Look at yourself.
You can hardly stand...

You don't try to hold down a job.

Look how you set up that guy...

That business
has nothing to do with us!

Nothing!

You're lying, my poor Eddie.

I'm not your poor Eddie!

I'm nobody's poor Eddie!

I'll apologize to Labrecque tomorrow.

Happy?

Don't you ever listen to me?

I said you're fired.
It's too late, he's fired you.

So what do you want me to do?

It's not my problem.

If you don't believe in me,

not even you,
how am I gonna make it?

It's over, Eddie.

Understand? It's dead.

And you know why?
You're not worth it.

You're not worth it.

Fuck!

Shut the fuck up!

Why do you say that?

Go away!

Stay out of this.

- Get out of here!
- Stay out of this.

- Filthy bastard!
- What?

Don't talk that way
to your dad!

- Apologize!
- No!

Fuck you! I said apologize!

Apologize now.

Say you're fucking sorry!

Eddie, stop! You're mad!

- Say: "I'm sorry, Dad."
- Stop it!

- Say sorry.
- Sorry.

Sorry who?

Sorry, Dad.

Fuck!

Enough!

Come here.

Put on your shoes.

I didn't mean to...

Get your stuff.

- Where are we going?
- Get your bag.

Go on, get it!

Hurry up!

I never want to see you again.

Never again.

Get into line over there.

Excuse me, I'm Noam Moreau's father.

Do you know if he came today?

I don't think so.

Come on, hurry up.

I haven't seen him lately,
ask in the office.

No, it's alright.

Thanks anyway.

Your Honour, I'd like to draw
your attention to documents

testifying to Mr Moreau's
unstable personality,

all signaling deep
professional instability

and a serious alcohol addiction,

if I may...

You submitted these documents
to the prosecution?

Yes, Your Honour.
I have three simple questions to ask.

Just a minute, Counsel.

I'm listening.

I'd like to know if Mr Moreau

drank alcohol

on October 7th,

before entering the police station,

before the identity parade
when he recognized my client,

Mr Lunes?

Mr Moreau, did you drink alcohol
on October 7th

prior to the identity parade?

Yes.

Indeed?

How much did you drink?

A little bit.

How much is a little bit?

Two glasses.

Two glasses of what, Mr Moreau?

- Try to be more...
- Two glasses of Pastis.

...precise in your answers.

Two glasses of Pastis.

And November 3rd
when you saw the investigating judge,

had you drunk earlier?

No.

Are you sure of that?

Yes, I'm sure.

Good. You were sober?

One last question if I may.

Concerning the night of the assault.

He stated, D333,

that the night of the aggression...

Wait...

D333, yes.

I'm listening.

He stated that it was dark.

I'd like to know, as it was dark,
how you could recognize...

I want to make a statement.

Mr Moreau, answer the question.

What? I can't hear you.

Speak louder.

I want to make a statement.

- You want to make a statement?
- Yes.

A statement...
The court is listening.

I think Mr Lunes wasn't responsible.

The defense is glad to hear it!

Wait!

Mr Moreau, I don't know
if the prosecutor heard you properly.

You have just said:

"I think Mr Lunes wasn't responsible."

Is that so?

Yes, I think he's not guilty.

You think he's not guilty.

Silence in court!
No, sir!

One more time and you're out!

Mr Moreau, explain to the court...

You say:

"I think he's not guilty."

Yet you recognized him
in the identity parade,

and in the judge's office

you identified him
as the perpetrator

of the assault you suffered.

Tell the court
why you changed your mind.

Were you pressurized?
You have the right to speak up.

Don't be afraid.
Were you threatened?

No.

So what you say today is true?

Yes.

What you said previously was untrue?

I want to retract.

I didn't hear you.

I want to retract.

Therefore it was a lie?

- Not exactly a lie.
- So what was it?

Well, when it happened...

For Mr Lunes it is a lie.

For the prosecution, I don't know...

Silence in court!
Take that gentleman out.

He was warned once, that's enough.

The prosecution may address the court

after these revelations.

Your Honour, I'm devastated
by what I've heard.

I demand the release
of Mr Lunes as he's innocent.

- Please.
- Silence!

This isn't showtime!

But as for you, Mr Moreau,

you must realize
you deceived the judiciary

as you lied.

This is a criminal act

and I do not intend
to let the matter stand.

Defense counsel.

Your Honour,

I ask you to draw due conclusions
from a vile attitude

that cost my client
several months in custody.

I ask you to release him.

I want to inform Mr Moreau directly

that the defense
will see this through.

Mr Moreau,

you have heard the prosecution

and the counsel for defense.

Are you aware of the consequences
of your acts?

- It's a misunderstanding.
- I'm sorry?

A misunderstanding.

- A misunderstanding?
- Yes.

I think, Mr Moreau,

that if I'd heard you
at least apologize

to the judiciary and Mr Lunes,
I might have...

I'm sorry.

I apologize to Mr Lunes and his family.

Mr Moreau, you know...

both for Mr Lunes and the judiciary,

your apologies come rather late.

Given the circumstances,

I call for an adjournment.

The hearing is suspended.

It's me again.

Why don't you answer, Karine?

It's just to say I went to court.

I wanted to tell you...

It's all sorted.

I've sorted it, Karine.

And I wanted to say I miss Noam.

I want to know how he is.

You can't leave me with no news.

You can't do that.

I want you to call me back.

I want news of my son, right?

You have reached the Moreau family,
we're out, please leave a message.

Hello, Karine? It's Régis.

I'm a bit worried,
I left messages on your cell,

I can't get through to you.

I thought you might have come by
your apartment?

Look...

I know you'll be back at work
tomorrow.

Call me back anyway
when you get this message.

Even if it's late.

Take care.
