A Sun So Bright (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 18 - Épisode 18 - full transcript
Is he with both of you?
You can talk to me.
Having your daughter as a student
is hard.
All this, over a boy!
I think this boy
fell for her best friend.
- Who's that?
- My granny.
That means she's yours, too.
He'll never be my brother.
Give him a chance.
Why?
Because I'd like to get to know him.
The secretary was killed
and now your boyfriend's dead.
We think degrees were sold.
I've got one.
He speaks bad French,
but he got his master's here.
Can it wait?
I'm on another case.
How much did your degree cost?
He says he didn't buy it.
Getting a master's
without speaking French
must've been hard.
- Should I translate?
- No.
How come he doesn't speak French?
He says he forgot it.
- He's taking us for fools.
- Yes.
OK, here's what we'll do.
I tell the embassy about this.
They won't like
this degree trafficking.
Take him out.
He's going to a cell.
He'll stay, if he won't talk.
You don't want to hear it,
but you'll get over this.
People always do, at your age.
You're right,
I don't want to hear it.
He doesn't deserve you.
You don't know him.
I don't need to.
Teenage boys are all the same.
They're stupid
and just think about girls.
They don't care who they're hurting.
You don't understand.
Of course I do.
I was 16, once.
But I never fell
for my best friend's girlfriend.
Theo really excelled himself.
How did you know?
Well, I...
- You told me.
- I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
- No.
You forgot.
I remember, I never told you.
How else could it be?
I have to go.
Sofia's going to kill me.
Have a nice day, darling.
The embassy idea was a bit much.
Then what?
You know what would happen
if we turned him in?
Yes. And I hope he does too.
Manu.
It's OK.
It's just a bit of pressure.
I won't call.
He should tell us enough
to bring Karen in.
- We're on her case.
- OK.
- Nothing.
- And the phone surveillance?
Nothing. She made a call at 9am.
How was your evening with Estrela?
- You're not saying anything?
- No.
You're too much!
I know.
I thought it was my dad?
Wouldn't you have opened up?
What do you want?
Can I come in?
This sulking is daft.
Like falling for my best friend.
I didn't plan it.
It just happened.
- You almost slept with me.
- I didn't.
OK, I should have said straight away,
but I didn't want
to lose you as a friend.
You're the only person I trust.
I can't say as much for you.
Can you forgive me?
I'll understand if you don't want to.
Too bad for me.
Life's been hard
since I got to France.
I'm getting used to it.
A museum?
I wouldn't have liked that.
Were you angry?
No - I thought it was charming.
- And he made quiche.
- Quiche?
It was good.
OK. Marry him.
- I kissed him.
- Is that all?
I'm old school.
I need to take my time.
You're old school
or you're hung up on Julien?
A bit of both
and it's not fair on Manu.
Thinking about your ex?
It can't hurt.
Haven't you ever pretended
to be with an actress?
No!
- Maybe an actor.
- That's the same.
Thinking isn't cheating.
And you like this cop, right?
- Yes.
- Then go for it.
Have a go and see what happens.
- You think?
- I'm sure.
If you get stuck on Julien
you won't have any other experiences.
You're right.
The giraffes don't touch it
if there's a lot.
Why is there so much?
Stop it!
That guy's crazy.
We were in the first round
of budget cuts.
I'd have dumped him ages ago.
You have to talk to her.
Am I talking too loud?
Sorry.
Yeah.
She doesn't understand
she's here to work.
She doesn't get it.
You need to love it, to work here.
It's just a summer job to her.
She can still work.
It's why she's not getting involved.
She needs to see that she's lucky
and could enjoy it here.
She's a way off.
I can motivate her.
I think she's a lost cause.
Give me an afternoon
and I'll prove you wrong.
- OK, you're on.
- Yes.
You're on.
I need to talk to you, Theo.
Come with me, please.
OK.
We'll start in the east
and go round to the north.
- OK, I know the zoo.
- You'll know it
through contact with the animals.
How? I'm not allowed to touch them.
- They're wild animals.
- Then they should be free.
Not necessarily.
Captivity has saved some animals
from extinction.
Like cheetahs.
It's hard to reproduce in the wild.
We breed them here,
to develop
a reserve population and...
Lucille.
Are you listening to me?
I am.
Let's go to see the lemurs.
That'd be good.
Hello.
I'm Elizabeth, Julien's mother.
- Your grandmother.
- I know who you are.
I'm sorry about all this.
I wanted it to be low key.
What do you want?
To talk to you
and explain what happened.
Will you sit down?
The social life of lemurs
is similar to our own.
Do you see?
They're like human hands,
aren't they?
- What's up?
- They stink. Don't you wash them?
The yellow one
is a Dendrobates leucomelas.
The bumblebee frog.
Indians poison their arrows
with them.
How did you know that?
I heard you can get high
on the venom.
Have you ever tried?
Come and see.
Look. You see?
They spend 90% of their time
hanging upside down.
Sloths are nocturnal animals.
They become active around midnight.
- They move a few metres.
- Those droopy eyes look so stupid.
The fur creates that impression.
Yes, but they still look stupid.
You and your mother never went short.
Do you expect gratitude?
No, not at all.
I wanted you to understand that...
I was protecting my son.
- From what?
- Me?
- Not at all, Theo.
From a life
that wouldn't have suited him.
Who are you to judge
how others should live?
Your father said the same.
- He's angry with him.
- For good reason.
It's your fault I had no father.
I'm sorry, Theo. I really am.
I hope you and your father
can forgive me.
I don't think I can.
You speak your mind.
I like it.
You get it from me.
No, I get it from my mother.
We're all at loggerheads now,
but things can change.
I'm sure we can create a family.
I don't see how.
It'll be thanks to you.
You can bring us together.
I wanted to say,
it's been wonderful meeting you.
You remind me of your father.
My angel.
He's playing the victim,
after what he did?
You're the one that suffered.
He knows. He was feeling bad.
Don't feel sorry for him!
He sounded like he meant it.
What? Am I being too nice?
Yes.
You're always finding excuses
for people.
He's not entirely to blame.
If I hadn't got so into him,
I'd have seen it was impossible.
- So just forgive and forget?
- No.
I have feelings for him
and it'll be hard to move on.
But I'm glad
he didn't want to hurt me.
I feel a bit less stupid.
He's the stupid one.
He doesn't know what he's lost.
My dad knows that Theo like you.
How?
I'd like to know.
It must be someone you told.
I didn't tell anyone.
Hang on...
Unbelievable.
A man from Guangzhou
said he could buy a degree
from a prestigious French university.
For how much?
50,000 dollars.
Ah, right. And did he pay?
His parents did.
Then what did he do?
He came for two weeks,
sat an exam and defended a thesis.
Someone gave him all the documents
that he needed.
Was it her?
Yes, it was her.
We've got her.
OK, we'll bring her in.
That means thank you.
Thanks.
I've never told your dad anything.
Why would I start now?
Then who was it?
I don't know, Lea.
Wasn't there anyone else?
I didn't tell anyone.
What does it matter who told him?
He knows.
What?
- You know something.
- I don't.
I just mean it doesn't matter.
It does.
Are you still sulking?
Yes? No?
I know I wasn't paying attention.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing against you.
I'm just not into animals.
I got that - thanks.
What you do is really cool.
Respect. It's not an easy job.
It's more than a job.
I can see.
The people that work here
really give it everything.
You're committed.
Seeing that is a good start.
Where did you get that?
The burger place.
It's worth the walk. Want some?
- I'm vegetarian.
- Really?
You eat seeds? I couldn't do that.
I'd feel like a hamster.
If I ate that
I'd feel like I was hurting animals
and destroying the environment.
What? This is beef.
You don't keep cows here.
What did I say?
I can't take her.
She contacted you
without asking me or your mother.
She's using you.
I know why you're angry.
I think she wanted to make amends.
She kept us apart for 16 years.
I know.
We'll never get that time back.
But now it's done,
we can't fall out over it.
You're right,
but I can't forgive her.
Could you really
stop speaking to her forever?
One day you'd be
standing at her grave
thinking of all that lost time.
Hey, I'm the adult.
You only get one mother.
Ours have got
some serious shortcomings,
but...
they're not monsters.
You miss her, right?
I miss the person I thought I knew.
It's the same person.
You just know her better.
Yes, I'm coming,
I'll just be a bit late.
I've got something to do.
See you later.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You don't look good.
What's that look for?
Aren't you going to say how you knew?
- That again?
- Did you check my phone?
- I never would.
- Then how did you know?
I changed the code.
I swear I didn't look at it.
Then how did you know?
It was you. You told me.
You're a bad liar.
I'm going to find out.
I'm off, Alice.
Not so fast!
- Well done.
- What for?
Lucille.
You really got her motivated.
It's nice
how much she's into animals now.
I know. I lost my bet.
You don't have to rub it in.
I told you.
You're right.
I've never met anyone
that likes animals less.
I give up.
She's still young.
She may end up
at an ecological charity.
The only way she'd go green
is as compost.
- You'll be late.
- I already am.
I'm done hiding.
Did you just say that?
I want to see you whenever I want.
And at home, too.
How about Saturday?
Are you about to bring me
out of the closet?
- How come?
- I said, I've had enough of hiding.
It's ridiculous.
But what about your daughter?
Lea's a big girl now.
It'll be OK.
She'll understand.
OK, now tell me the real reason.
What made you decide,
all of a sudden?
Did Lea get suspicious?
Did she ask you?
Well, a bit.
I slipped up.
But I can't hide the truth forever.
- No.
- This can't go on.
- No, it can't.
- No, it can't.
Things are going well here.
We'll have good news soon.
Claire is writing
No more lies
- Hello.
- Hello. Where are we up to?
Inspector Levy's bringing her in.
She's not
your usual sort of trafficker.
She's a small part of it,
working for people higher up.
Get the proof before you tell me.
That's what we're looking for.
Most lawyers trained
at that university.
I got lots of calls
after your search.
Our search.
You authorized it.
If she doesn't talk,
I'll give them your number.
You speak to them.
I'll tell her what she could get
and she'll talk.
Where is she, Alex?
She's not in the house.
We were watching her, 24/7.
How did she escape?
She found a way.
So, you didn't know
what your secretary was doing?
- I protected you.
- Do you expect thanks.
Do you want to know?
- I'll sort it out.
- How?
- Are you scared?
- No.
- What's up?
- I've got a feeling.
I went for help, but it was too late.
You can talk to me.
Having your daughter as a student
is hard.
All this, over a boy!
I think this boy
fell for her best friend.
- Who's that?
