A Sun So Bright (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 16 - Épisode 16 - full transcript

You'll remember it.

It won't be a let-down.
That guy is great.

- Is that not OK?
- Yes, yes.

I'll be in the bedroom.

Everything?

We'll need space for the crib.

- It's her life.
- He's a cheat.

Maybe he just forgot
to delete his account.

Right.

You're happy

to take my money!



Angèle Estrela

was receiving payments

every month.

This could turn out bad.

What do we do?

My mum was running our lives.

But I left.

Your mum stopped by.

She asked me to help.

I don't want to discuss it!

Is this really about Claire?

Thanks.

- When's Granny coming for dinner?
- We don't know.

- Is she coming this week?
- Stop stirring.



Of course - you don't care about her.

I don't need a new handbag
every three days.

- You dick!
- That's enough.

- Go and see her.
- Right - that's helpful.

Manon, just watch your lip.

Yes, I'm angry with her.

It'll be hard to forgive her.
Things are tense, right now.

Obviously, your dad needs time.

It'll be tough.

I won't be working with her.

What? Just like that?

No - I'll give her notice.
She'll be OK without me.

Will you be OK without her?

Thanks for your concern,

but your dad has worked elsewhere.

Really? Sorry.
I didn't know. I wasn't born.

What a nice breakfast conversation.

There are pastries and juice.
Have whatever you like.

I'm not hungry.

Make an effort.
You hardly ate all weekend.

There's more to life than food.

Don't speak to me like that, OK.

Sorry.

Why don't you tell me what's up?

OK.

How is it, being a secretary at UFR?

It suits me.

Angèle Estrela did your job.

I didn't know.

To pay for her studies.

It's quite a coincidence.

Isn't it?

Lots of people
work at the university.

Don't you deal with registrations
at the law faculty?

Yes.

And you issue the degrees, too.

Yes. I mean...

I record the academic results
on my computer.

That's important.
You need to be careful.

Yes, if you put in 18 instead of 8,

it'd really bump the grades up.

What does a fake degree cost?
30,000 euros?

How would I know?

I'm just asking.
We're just talking.

40,000 euros?
No, 40,000 euros is too much.

Why are you asking
about fake degrees?

Do you want me to spell it out?

I take my work seriously.

That's good.
We take ours seriously, too.

We checked your bank statements.
Alex likes figures.

I love figures.

I saw you never withdraw cash.

- Sorry?
- Cash.

You never make any withdrawals.

I use my card.

You don't buy your baguette
with a card.

François worked cash in hand.
He always had cash on him.

I'll tell you what I think.

You had a little stash at uni,

in envelopes,
that the UFR slipped you.

I did no wrong.

Let's keep it simple.

You can choose:

tell us the truth,
and we'll help you out,

or keep lying
and risk going to prison.

You need to think
about what you're going to do.

Can I go?

Of course.

She's tough.

Thanks.

I'm so happy! I'm all packed.

Already?

I was at it all weekend.

We just need to book a van

and my brother will help us.

We'll be together in five days.

I can't wait!

Sorry.

Saucepot: Guess how I'm dressed

We'll put both our names
on the letterbox.

Imagine - our names, side by side!

- It'll be so sweet!
- Cool.

- OK, lovebirds?
- Great.

We're moving in together
in five days.

It's nice
to see a couple making the leap.

It's a proof of love -

a commitment to one person.

- You're lucky.
- Big time.

Enjoy it.

Please. I felt bad all weekend.

You felt bad?
Is that a joke?

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Listen...

I know it was wrong,
to leave like that.

Then why did you do it?

I'd have been leading you on
by staying.

We should've talked.

but I just ran away.
I was really lame.

Talked about what?

I don't love you.
I've tried, but I just don't.

Couldn't you be a bit blunter?

That's how I feel.
I won't lie to you.

Would you rather I dressed it up?
"Life's never fair..."

No. I don't know...

I would've preferred that.
It would've been gentler.

What's the problem?

Is it me?
Is it my personality.

Am I not feminine or pretty enough?

Am I too direct?

No, it's nothing to do with you.

Then who is it?

I like you a lot, Lea,
but as a friend.

No, not the "let's be friends" line.

Get out.

- Get out.
- I'm going your way.

No, I'm not going to school with you.

She's arrived.

Stay there.
Let me know what happens.

OK.

Are you sure
about these fake degrees?

She's doing
what Angèle Estrela was doing.

Garcia found out
the truth about Angèle's death.

He told Claire.
Bang! It was all over.

No one dies over fake degrees.

Do you know how much is at stake?

20 degrees a year at 30,000 E a pop
is 600,000 euros.

That's a lot of money.

They may have sold
two or three times that.

OK, let's say that's true,

but Karine didn't organize it.

No, she's not that bright.

What about Lestrade?

Lestrade? The UFR director?
You think he's involved?

He thinks he's got a free hand.

Maybe. Why not?

Karine will slip up
and we'll see who her boss is.

She'll do something stupid
within the week.

It'd be good

if we did a search at the UFR.

But it'll take time.

What's up?

I'm looking for a new sofa.

Look at that one.

Italian design. It's gorgeous.

It's too much.

I don't care.

It'll be a moving-in gift, for Greg.

It's in stock.

You can't pay that much!

If I pay it off over three years,
it'll work.

You can't do that.

Three years isn't that long.

You can't get in debt for that guy.

What's got into you?

You're not my mum.

After Friday,
there was obviously a problem.

But I didn't expect this.

He just said it.

Like he just didn't care.

He's a fool.
He doesn't know what he's lost.

I'm the fool.

He was too good for me.

Stop it.

He's not too good.
He just wasn't for you.

I can't believe
he almost slept with you anyway!

He didn't.
He took pity on me.

- I'm going to speak to him.
- No.

I told him not to hurt you.

Inès, please.

I feel bad enough.
Don't make it worse.

Don't say a word.

Inès?

You came on to my guy?

No, I didn't come onto him.

I pretended. And he fell for it.

That's so horrible.

OK, maybe I should've left it,

but I couldn't just watch.

How could I be so stupid?

You weren't stupid.
You were just in love.

He led you on,

making out he was ready
to live with you.

Why did he do that?

Because he's a coward.
Lying is easier.

And he wanted to use you, a bit.

What a bastard.

You deserve so much better.

Davia, tell me,
you're going to pack him.

That'd be too easy.

I need to get revenge first.

You're going to help.

Meaning?

I don't want to hear it.

I'll leave
after the L Cosmétiques deal.

You love your job, Julien.

You're only punishing yourself
by resigning.

Leaving is no punishment.

You know, one day
you'll be running this company.

Do you want to lose that?

I wasn't here to take your job.

I worked with you because I liked it.

What changed?

Find a replacement.

I'll be gone in three months.

The whole family will suffer.

And?

I should suck it up,
to make things easier?

No - I'd just like you
to be a little less radical,

for Alice and the children.

Maybe.

But I'm in charge now,
so we'll do things my way.

Goodbye.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm not here for work.

Can you do me
a lemon tea with honey?

- Sit down.
- Thanks.

- I do have one question.
- Ah.

I thought so.

Would you like to have dinner?

- Dinner?
- Yes, just dinner,

like normal people,
enjoying an evening together.

A cop and a suspect -
that's not that common.

- You're not a suspect.
- You're still a cop.

Does that bother you?
That's a shame.

It'd have been
an original way of meeting.

My life's complicated right now.

Yes, I know.

So, right now, I...

I don't know what to say.

Don't answer straight away.

Take your time.

OK.

- Did you see Lea?
- Leave it.

- I didn't want to hurt her.
- Really?

Were you trying to be nice?

I was trying to be honest.

If you were honest,
you wouldn't have led her on.

- You loser.
- I'm not like that.

I swear, I didn't mean
for things to happen like that.

So, you just got fed up
with being with her?

- Do you want to know what happened?
- Go on.

I was attracted to you.

That's it.

Does that explain it?

What should I have done?

Carried on pretending, with Lea?

Would that be better?

The best thing for her would be
if you just went away.

That stings.

You're too close.
Stand a bit further away.

I saw some red mullet at the beach.
We could cook some.

Good idea.

It's nice
not to be the only one cooking.

I know what you mean.

- What are you doing?
- I'm going to Julien's.

- You didn't forget!
- No.

- I told you yesterday.
- Shall I drive you?

- I'll get the tram.
- It'll be nicer.

- Come on.
- See you.

Bye.

Our turnover's up 16% on last summer.

Who's the best?
Let's have a drink.

Can it wait?
I don't feel like celebrating.

Is it your daughter.
Are things still bad?

The poor thing.
She's seemed so happy with that guy.

Yes.

I don't know how to help her.
Her mother would have.

She's not here. But you are.

Whatever I say, I get it wrong.

Maybe I'm not up to it.

You won't let her grow up.

She's grown up, without a mother.

I'll never be able to fill that void.

You're doing pretty well,
as a single dad.

Officially single, at least.

How's the secret romance?

- It's been going on a while.
- Three months.

Will Lea meet her?

Yes, but...

I don't want her to think
I'm replacing her mother.

She's a big girl.

She'll understand
that you need to move on.

Yes, but I want
to handle things carefully.

You've been on your own for 10 years.

You've been careful.

You can't hide this relationship
forever.

If I was your girlfriend,

I wouldn't want you to hide me.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Were you talking about me?
- No...

- Travel.
- Yes, travel.

Did you have a good day?

I haven't heard you singing for ages.

Really?

We never listen to music.

That's true.

We should get a new stereo.

Why are you in such a good mood?

I think it's Claire.

I think we're back to normal.
I'm happy.

Me too.

You've no idea how happy.

I love you.

Hi, Theo.

Good timing!

Can I borrow some toothpaste?

Of course.

And encourage your brother
to use some, too!

Sure, no problem.

Well...

Goodbye.

It'd be nice if we could talk
like we hadn't just divorced.

I think about you a lot.

So what do we do?

Nothing.

We do nothing.

I can't break up my family.

You're right.

We'll make
the sensible choice, again.

- It's not like that.
- It is.

Choosing Alice is just the same.

It's the easy option.

What do you want?
For me to leave my wife?

And my kids?
You've only been back two weeks.

I don't want anything.

You're mistaking cowardice
for loyalty.

Is it cowardly

not to abandon people?

Walking out on love is brave.

You're staying because you're scared.

Calm down or I'll help you.

- Get lost.
- I didn't know.

She is your best friend.

- Greg!
- I'm meeting my cousin.

I didn't know we were related.

I teach Lea
and she doesn't know about us.

Isn't that a motive?

It's a good motive.
