A Sun So Bright (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 38 - Épisode 38 - full transcript

Are you all handicapped?

No, just me.

She didn't even apologize.

She just carried on.

You said you didn't care.

I hoped someone would own up.

It was me.

I know the dealer.

Him?

Yes.

I just served the drinks.



We've got a witness.

- Did you set him up?
- No.

I'm not like that.

Then who did?

Eliot told me to do it.

I'll get the blame.

I was working! I'm innocent!

Innocent?

Your brother's been arrested.

Downstairs, right outside the house.

They took him away!

You should've seen
the state his mum was in.

It was awful.
She's sure he's innocent.

I'm afraid a mother's opinion...



What do you think about Akim?

You know,
I'm not supposed to discuss work.

Yes, but this is different.

It's someone I know.

Then even more so.

I thought he was the dealer,
but now

I'm sure he's innocent.

How can you be so sure?

My instinct for people
is always good.

Like with Greg?

That's not very nice.

I'm sorry.

A good feeling isn't proof.

He'd never have done that.

Someone could've died!

- Maybe it was an accident.
- No way!

He was just covering, for me.

So?

Tipsy students are an ideal market.

You've made your mind up.

No - I can't be certain.

But you're prejudiced.

Akim's a crim - so it has to be him.

A dealer's a dealer,
but I'm not prejudging him.

I hope not - it'd devastate his mum.

Especially if you locked him up.

We don't just jail people.

We investigate properly.

If Akim's innocent, he'll be fine.

Where were you?

- Sorry, Mum.
- I've been here an hour.

- Use your phone.
- It could be tapped.

You're paranoid.

- The police called me.
- So?

Why do they want
to speak to me again?

No idea.

I just want an hour's sleep, OK?

Something must be up
or they wouldn't want to see me.

Maybe you just need
to sign something.

I just signed a statement.

They need to check,
before they jail him.

Or they know
I made a false statement.

Really?

How would they know?

Did you talk to someone?

Who?

I saw Lucille, yesterday.

She wanted me
to clear the barman's name.

She wanted to turn you in.
She said we'd be OK.

That fool talks a lot of shit.

That's why I said no.

Maybe she went in on her own.

No.

We'd have been arrested.

So what do I do now?

You go in to speak to the police,
obviously.

- And say what?
- Same as yesterday.

And make it good -

you're in up to your neck now,
you know?

Yes, I know.

But Lucille knows, now.

Yes, but don't worry about that.

I'll stop her from stirring the shit.

OK?

The head called me,
but wouldn't say why.

Ah, yes.

It's about our French teacher.

She said we were all handicapped.

There's a guy who's in a wheelchair

and she didn't apologize.

OK.

That doesn't explain
why she called me.

It's because

some students
damaged the teacher's car

and I owned up to it.

- Why?
- No reason. Forget it.

No, I won't.

You might get expelled,
so I want you to explain.

It smoothed things over.

What? I don't get it.

Can't you explain?

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

OK, I need a shower.

Did you see Charles?

- Get off.
- To turn me in?

- What?
- You lying bitch!

I'm not lying!

- That hurts!
- Really?

Shut up.

I'll hurt you worse than this.
I'll even kill you, OK?

That's good.
You're seeing sense.

Stop this, or I'll do it.

OK?

Theo, I wanted to say thanks
for what you did.

No problem.

Why did you cover for me?

The teacher was out of line.

And I'll be OK.

My parents aren't so strict.

But I still feel bad about it.

Forget it.

I should've listened and owned up.

And I'd have got off lightly,
in this wheelchair.

Who'd believe you?

- You can pay me back.
- I don't know how.

You never mess up - it's so annoying!

We'll find a way.
Don't worry.

I'm glad they arrested the dealer
and Eliot's in the clear.

But I'm worried about you.

- I'll be OK.
- Well I'm worried.

You hired the barman.
They won't overlook that.

I don't think Akim was the dealer.

He's not the one.

Why do you say that?

He seemed OK when I spoke to him.

That doesn't mean he is OK.

We were both at the bar all night.

If he'd been dealing,
I'd have known.

Not necessarily.

I know how those guys work.

Really?

I've looked into it.
I've seen documentaries.

For Lea.

I've always worried
about people selling her drugs.

If you're right,
Eliot will be a suspect again.

- You came?
- Of course.

Hello,
are you Theo Estrela's parents?

Yes, hello.

Let's go to my office.
This way, please.

Your son vandalized
his French teacher's car.

- Are you sure?
- He admitted it.

What he told me wasn't so clear.

Maybe he was covering.

Mrs Prodi
doesn't want to press charges.

Theo will get a warning

and have to pay for the damage.
- Of course.

I'll deal with it.

Thanks. Come in.

How many times
did you see him selling drugs?

Twice.

Rubbish.

Where were you?

I don't know.

But you saw.
You're sure it was MDMA.

Why are you doing this?

I've done nothing to you.

Hey, look at me.

You're entitled to answer him.

I'm not lying. I saw you.

You didn't, because I didn't do it.

Are you covering for a friend?

I'll go to jail because of you.

Do you realize?
How will you get to sleep?

We can't spend the whole day on this.

Are you maintaining your statement?
Or not?

- Yes.
- Don't do this.

OK.

Sign here and you can go.

Two, for tonight?
Let me check.

Now then...

OK, 9pm, perfect.

See you later.

We've got 12 reservations tonight.

We've got the Bensoussas,
four people in the name of Scoffier,

You didn't say Jo booked!

Yes, she's got a work dinner.

It's OK, you're not working.

- I'll be here.
- It's your night off.

I can't leave you when it's busy.

- I can manage.
- No, I'll be here.

I'm not sure it's a good idea.

You've only just got over her.

It's been six months. I'm fine.

I agree with Virgile, for once.

I'm fine.

I've moved on.

- I don't believe that.
- I do.

I don't think she'd want Jo back.

Really.

I bet you 10 euros that it happens.

- You're on.
- OK.

Do you want a drink?

Why?

What you did for Antonin
was pretty cool.

- How did you find out?
- He told everyone.

Why did you do it?

I didn't want him to suffer.

- His parents are so strict.
- You're brave.

Let's not overdo it.

I think you are.

You know,

you're the class star.

Hi there.

- Do you want anything?
- I'm OK.

- Sure?
- Yes.

Sending someone to jail isn't easy.

But if you're sure,
you did the right thing.

Are you sure?

- Sorry, I didn't catch that.
- Yes.

- Yes what?
- Yes, I'm sure.

If you lied, then tell me now,

or it'll be worse for you,
not to mention...

Stop it - why would I have lied?

You're scared of the real dealer.

No, I'm not.
He is the real dealer.

He put Johanna in a coma.

- Hi, Jo.
- Hi, Sofia.

OK?

This is Bertrand Mero.

This is Sofia - she runs the place.

We used to hang out together a lot.

- Hello.
- Hello - welcome.

This way.

- I reserved this table for you.
- My favourite.

I've done a few interviews here.

- Remember?
- Of course.

- I'll leave you to it.
- Thanks.

- Nice place.
- Yes.

Shall I take you home?

No, I've still got work to do.

What's up?

- Were you crying?
- No.

Lucille, tell me what's wrong.

I know what's wrong.

She's overdoing it,

with all this work and her studies.

Do you need to cut back here?

You may get sick.
Shall I speak to Alice?

Don't bother, I'm OK.

I can see you're not.

It'll be fine.

I tell her to get to bed early,
but she won't listen.

Listen to Eliot - he's right.

You see?
Even your granddad says so.

The Nouvelle Occitane article
was perfect.

"A Free Spirit".

I liked that title.

- It hit home.
- Yeah?

You did a good job.
Thanks.

Sure.

Let's step it up.

We need you as a definite candidate,

by January.

I trust you, Jo - totally.

I'm amazed by how much
you've changed my image,

in a month.
- That's just a start.

I hope so.

I'll take those.
Excuse me.

- Is Jo's main course ready?
- You just asked.

They're in a rush.

- Let Davia do it.
- Why?

You're so tense.
They've just started.

That's finished.
And I don't mind.

Right - clearly.

I just can't stand him mauling her.

He looks like such a lech.

That's all it is.

What did I ever see in her?

- Just stay professional.
- Of course - what do you expect?

Get your 10 euros out.
They'll never get back together.

It's not over yet.

Get the bream going, please.

Deputy mayor is a necessary step,

but that's all.
- Yes.

- You're worth more.
- Yes.

I'm aiming much higher.

I've got what it takes to lead:

charisma...
Thanks.

...vision, flair.

Modesty, of course.

Sorry?

You're not that humble.

- Mind your business.
- It's what I think.

What do I care?

You're here to serve, not listen in.

This is my place, here.

If you don't like it,
that's the exit.

Perfect.

And I won't be coming back!

Great!

No, wait, Bertrand!

What's got into you?

He treated me like shit
and you let him!

What? You provoked him!

Can we talk?

I wanted to talk to you, too.

For the car,

I'll pay you back
with my pocket money.

Forget it. It doesn't matter.

But I'd like to know
what really happened.

- Can we keep it between us?
- Sure.

I mean, you won't tell Mum.

I understood.

Go ahead, tell me.
I won't tell Claire.

- Do you know what the teacher said?
- Arthur told me.

That's hard on your friend.

It was disgusting.

Antonin brushed it off,

but it hurt him.

- And he vandalized the car.
- Yes.

I know
that his parents are really strict,

so I owned up.

Good job.

I'm proud of you.

Why don't you want
your mother to know?

If she knew I didn't do it,
she'd kick up a fuss at school

and it'd affect Antonin.

You know what she's like.

I do - I know what you mean!

And, anyway,
I don't want to tell her everything.

What happens at school
isn't necessarily her business.

It's funny -
she was the same, at your age.

She hated your grandparents
getting involved at school.

- She forgot about that!
- Yes.

Parents forget
they were teenagers once.

I'm glad you trust me.

What's going on?

What are you playing at?

What about you,
bringing your new guy here?

I'm just working for him.

Is that why he kept fondling you?

- He didn't.
- He kept touching you.

Political wannabees are all the same.

Did you like it?

Am I dreaming or are you jealous?

- Not at all.
- Not at all?

You are, I can see it.

Admit it.

Do what you like, I don't care.

You don't care?
Is that true?

I've been dying to do this.

Stop this, or I'll do it.

The olive grove

is my life.

How many more years of work?

I slept with her.

You always end up getting hurt.

Tell me, if someone hurt you.
Trust me.

I don't want to go to jail.

They'll leave you alone.

You're going to court,
so now's the time.
