A Sun So Bright (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 67 - Épisode 67 - full transcript

He might spend some months in prison
before his trial takes place.

This is the principle
of pre-trial detention.

You worked at the prefecture.

You know people in high places.

Réal didn't go to the police
to report it.

But he must have felt guilty

since he's warming up
to the victim's son

pretending to be
his mother's former classmate.

Can't I stay at your house,
even if it's just for a few days?

I think Mr. Réal
no longer has a chance.

Can you pay some of it
under the table?



What does it cost you
to give him at least a chance?

But Gary, there are tables to clean!

They obviously can't do anything
without me around here.

My friend was at the harbor,
she saw dad with another woman.

She told me she was going
to see a girlfriend.

And the worst part is
that you're still surprised by it.

A SUN SO BRIGHT

How are you?

How was it at Bastide's?

What are you looking at?

Was it good seeing your girlfriend?

Yeah, great.

So, you're going to tell me?
You don't tell me anything anymore.

Actually, I have something for you.



Manon sent me a great picture. Look.

It was a friend of hers
who took it.

Théo...

I can't believe
you're still lying to me!

It's true, I know,
I should've told you.

I didn't, because it's complicated.

And it only has to do
with your father and me.

-Only you two?
-Yes, just between us two.

But even the guys in my class
are more mature than you!

You don't realize the family
you're destroying is also mine?

When I've finally found
my damn place!

-Théo, please...
-What?

The door! The neighbors.

Oh, because you give a shit
about what they think?

Stop it!

We will talk about this calmly.

No.

You're cleaning the house
before going to work?

You have something
you want to apologize for?

Not at all. There were some stains,
that's all.

Inès?

Yeah?

What's going on?

You wanted to make up for something?

Stop with that, okay?

I'm not making up for anything,
but I do have something to ask you.

It's about Gabriel,
the son of my friend who just died.

I wanted to know if it'd be a problem
if he stays here for a week?

It's fine with me.

He's not living with his aunt?

He does, but she must go back
to Paris for a few days, so...

the kid will be all alone.

-I can lend him my room.
-You know you're adorable, right?

He just lost his mother.
I can sleep on the couch if it helps.

I guess I don't have much choice.
It's two against one.

Thanks, girls.

Kisses.

You look tired.

I can't sleep.

Eliott isn't doing well in detention.

And his upcoming trial
is weighing on him a lot.

Don't worry.

I contacted the best lawyer
in Montpellier to defend him.

I am sure he will succeed in reducing
Eliott's sentence to a minimum.

The best lawyer?

I will take care of everything.

-I can help, I...
-No.

You don't have the same means
and I took the initiative,

so I'll be the one who pays.

It's not a problem for me.

Thank you, André. It's...

It's normal.

He's my son too.

Anyway, how's it going for you?

What do you mean?

The administrative inquiry
that was launched against you?

Oh, that...

Listen, I'm not worried about that.

I know it won't go anywhere.

No, no, no...

-You're leaving already?
-Yes, I have class in 20 minutes.

I told you I didn't have much time.

I have to see the lawyer
I told you about this afternoon.

If you want to come with me...

Yes, if he's going to defend him,
I want to meet him.

-What time?
-5:30 p.m.

I'll pick you up
after school if you want.

Okay.

Have a good day!

You really don't mind?

But not at all,
it's a pleasure to have you.

Inès even insisted
that you take her room.

That's really nice of her. Thank you.

It's normal. I owe it to your mother.

Can you keep telling me about her?

I'm sure you still have lots of
memories you haven't told me about.

You know, it was a long time ago,
all that.

Yes, but talking about it
will help you remember.

Maybe.

In any case,
we have a whole week for that.

-That's cool, right?
-Yes, it's nice.

What do you know
about this kid's mother?

Jeanne Lacombe?

Not much.
Just that she was Enric's old friend.

Come on, there's more to it.
It's not possible.

No, not at all.

You're such a bad liar!

Isn't that a handicap
for your profession?

Why would I lie to you?

You've never met her before?

No. But at the same time, I haven't
met all of my brother's friends.

He told me they were very close.

But even when we were teenagers,
we weren't very close.

If nobody knows her,

can you tell me why I find myself
hosting her son for a week?

I don't see what's bothering you.

Enric just wants to help, that's all.

No, something's not right.

Listen, he's completely changed
since this woman died.

It's normal.

It's always a shock to find out

about the death
of a childhood friend, right?

But he hasn't seen her for years.

Even... I don't know...
But you don't have any old classmates

that you'd help without question
if they were in trouble?

-Yes.
-Well then, you see.

It's like everyone else.

Enric, who cleaned the windows
this morning

in order to ask me to host a kid
that no one knows...

and you, giving me a lesson
on altruism...

Something is really wrong here.

Hello!

Hello, can you help me?

Virgile isn't here?

He's coming. Why?
You miss him already?

My back hurts.

You know what?
With the idea I had last night,

that will never happen to you again.
No more working yourself to death.

I assure you. I'm not carrying
anything for the rest of today.

-You finish setting up yourself.
-A franchise.

Huh?

Your concept, your brand,

Savage, you have to export it.

-To where?
-Wherever there's water!

On the coast, at the edge of a river,
around a lake, everywhere!

A Savage in Annecy,
A Savage in Toulouse, even Paris!

Oh, sure!

Why do you think cities invest so
much in their river embankments?

Because these riverfront
sidewalk cafes are a big hit!

Sidewalk cafes...

But yes! It's like salad bars,

it's a guaranteed jackpot.

So, what do you think?

It's... It's interesting...
Really interesting...

I knew you would like it.

But you see, Virgile and I
are not quite there yet.

That's exactly why I'm here.

You just have to say the word
and I'll take care of everything.

Great! So you do that
after setting up all the tables

and chairs on the terrace, okay?

Don't worry. I got it.

Yes?

Théo, how are you?

I didn't know
we were having lunch today.

Don't be mad at me,
but I already had something planned.

And the sailboat with my mother,
was it planned or was it just a whim?

What did you say to Arthur and Manon?

That you would also spend
the afternoon with a girlfriend?

I understand if you're shocked
that I'm seeing your mother again.

No, what's shocking is that

you're doing this nonsense
and don't even care about it.

You don't care about
destroying your family?

Listen. For 17 years,

your mother and I thought we were
responsible for your aunt's death.

Do you know what that means,
17 years?

All the guilt, the suffering?

Today, we find out
that it was all for nothing.

It's liberating for us.

Liberating? A liberation of what?

You don't love Alice? Nobody forced
you to build a life with her!

No! I was prevented from building
my life with your mother.

Listen...

In life, there are couples
who separate. I know it's sad,

but I have nothing to do with it,

and I'm not going to be blamed
for it.

Today, I'm making decisions
for myself.

Even if it's hard
for you to understand.

OPEN A FRANCHISE
HOW DOES A FRANCHISE WORK?

Sofia! You will never guess.

I just found a site that explains
how to set up a franchise.

Gary, sorry for bothering you,

but you do know
that we pay you to work, right?

Yes, I know it doesn't look like it,
but I'm working for your right now.

Yes indeed, it doesn't look like it.

Service has already started.

Do you want me to get you
some fresh mango juice?

I wouldn't mind some mango juice,
thanks.

Are you kidding me?

Ah, but not at all.

I'm about to make you a lot of money.

And I'm about to get mad.

So, put your phone down now
and get to work!

I have a sea bream
and two specials of the day.

A sea bream
and two specials of the day!

A sea bream
and two specials of the day.

So...

He's been gentle, nice, generous.

Yes, I don't recognize him.

Indeed, it's not like him.

Maybe what's happening
to Eliott has changed him,

he realizes
that he cares about his son.

Or he has something else in mind.

No, I don't think so.
He has nothing to gain.

I admit that I feel better knowing
that we're both in this together.

Well, be careful anyway.

Your ex has always acted hot and cold
to unsettle you.

Yes, I know.
But people can change anyway.

You're not going to be stupid
and get back with him, are you?

No, that's nonsense!

I don't know. You're all,
"I think he may have changed.

He's gotten sweet."

He's picking you up right now...

He's taking me to see the lawyer,
not to have candlelight dinner.

Okay...

And I never said André
has gotten sweet. Don't exaggerate.

He's just normal.

Life is full of surprises.

Tell me about it...

I have to hurry,
I'm going to be late.

I like our lunch breaks
where we don't eat.

We can't have everything.

It's a matter of choice.

Damn... I'm running late.

I have to go rock climbing with Théo.

You're still seeing your ex's son?

Yes. Why?

I don't know.
It's a little weird, no?

We get on well,
I don't see why it should stop.

I didn't break up with him.

Of course, you're not doing all this
to see Claire again.

Look at that, she's jealous,
the married woman.

It's a topsy-turvy world.

What I like about being with you
is that we're not cheating.

Not between us anyways.

So, it would help me
if you're clear with your intentions

and tell me the truth.

Okay.

The truth is that
I have completely moved on.

What?

If you say so...

-I'm not too late?
-No, it's fine.

I was held up in the office,
Théo passed by.

-How was he?
-Very irritated.

It's because
we had a fight this morning.

He's still mad
that I lied to him again,

and that's normal.

It'll pass,
he'll eventually understand.

In any case,
at least he's talking to us.

As for Manon,
she's decided to stop talking to us.

And Arthur?

Arthur pretends it's fine,
but I can see he's hurting.

It looks like our children
have decided to punish us.

That's exactly it.

Do you want to go dancing tonight?

We could go salsa dancing.

Of course.

-We've never done it.
-But we're not 15 anymore.

We're no longer teenagers.

And maybe it's better that way.

No?

Would you mind covering me
just for the end of service?

Yes, I would. Look at all the stuff
to clear and clean!

There is just the terrace to do,
it's not that much.

So, if it's not that much, you do it.

I can't, I have something important
to do. It can't wait.

When you have something important,
ask Virgile. He will let you go.

But Virgile is not here,
he went to get his daughter!

So, it's just coincidence you want
to leave when they're not here.

It's not a coincidence.
I'm preparing a surprise for them.

What kind of surprise?

All I can tell you is that
it's going to change their lives.

So, it'll be worth it if you help me
clean a few tables, believe me.

Thanks, you're the best!

Wait... Gary!

Gary! I didn't say yes!

Do you want me to help you?

You've understood the principles of
the harness but not of rock climbing.

You have to do it standing up.

What's the matter?

It really pisses me off
that you're not with my mom anymore.

You know,i t pisses me off too.

What do you want me to tell you?

"It's sad, but that's life" ?

It's like that.

What disgusts me the most is that
she's rebounded with my father.

You didn't know?

It's not a big deal.

She could've at least told you.

Alice found out from Manon.

They really only think of themselves.

Your mother owes me nothing.

It's her life now.

Anyways, I don't think you'd want
to talk about it right now.

No, not really.

You too, you should be talking
about something else.

Come on.

Climb up there.

And we'll leave your mother
behind us, okay?

GUSTAVE FLAUBERT HIGH SCHOOL

Is something wrong?

We had a surprise
ping-pong evaluation in PE.

Ping-pong is fun.

No, ping-pong is not fun.

I'm bad at it.
It's going to lower my average.

-You had ping-pong back then?
-Yes.

Yeah, but in our time,
we played on flint tables with clubs.

Come on, don't sulk.

It's our last session
with the psychiatrist.

-It's great!
-Yeah!

-But seriously, it was good for us.
-If you say so...

-We've come a long way!
-I did, yes.

You're kidding.

I respect your privacy,

I don't bother you anymore
with all my questions.

And I don't know...
we're communicating better.

You don't think so?

I'm just teasing you.

You've obviously made progress.

You're a little less annoying.

-I was never annoying.
-Yes.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Push with your feet.

That's it.
Come on, push with your legs.

Good... good. That's great.

Come on, you're almost there.

On your tiptoes...

It's beautiful here.

Yeah.

I'm so hungry.

They look pretty good.

-Do you mind if we eat now?
-No.

Cool. I'll set the table.

Did I say something that upset you
at the psychiatrist's?

No, why?

I don't know,
you hardly spoke during the session.

It has nothing to do with you, dear.

Okay.

It's because of Ève, right?

No...

I saw the look you had when
she got in the car with this guy.

It could be just a friend.

If it's more than that,

then it's good
she's starting her life again, right?

It's not a friend.

It's her ex-husband.

-Really? It's Eliott's dad?
-Exactly.

-Why are you upset?
-Because this guy is crazy.

He hurt her a lot while
they were married

and even afterwards.

He's a kind of narcissistic pervert
who can't stand rejection.

It didn't look like he forced her
to get in the car.

His thing is not physical violence.

It's verbal abuse and manipulation.
He's very good at it.

Do you think she's in danger?

I don't know.

He destroyed her once,
he can very well do it again.

It's gutsy to ride a bike.

I bought one a year ago
and it's still in my cellar.

You just need to get motivated
and then it becomes a habit.

Exactly, you're right.

But in a car,
you could easily hit someone.

Who are you?

Someone who knows
you ran over Jeanne Lacombe.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh, yeah?

Listen, I'm not the police

and I'd rather leave them
out of all this,

but that will depend on you.

What do you want?

Information on Julien Bastide
and L Cosmetics.

Balance sheets,
confidential documents,

anything you can find.

I'm just a simple employee,
I don't have access to any of that.

It's better to be a meddling employee
than a reckless driver in prison.

You have 24 hours.

I've found an investor
for our franchise project.

I talked to Sofia about it.
You didn't tell him?

I have what you need,
a great homemade cream!

So, you know this girl for one month
and she already outranks your sister?

You don't have any pictures
of my mother?

If it's his son,

it would explain why he's invested
so much into this kid.
