A Sun So Bright (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 97 - Épisode 97 - full transcript

Mr. Bastide,
it was a pleasure to meet you

and visit your company.

She didn't take her gift basket.

Are you trying to get rid of me?

It's Gary!

For the 54th time today.

Me, testifying against Dylan?

Did you see what he did to Théo?
He nearly put him in a coma.

Tell the judge you just wanted
to talk,

and it got out of hand.

You want him to go to prison?



You've got to be messed up
to do that.

I know who framed me.

That cop tried to help you.

She risked her career.

That Serbian alcohol I mentioned?

She saw me drink it
at Lt. Lévy's birthday.

You don't believe
her accusations against Lestrac?

Gaëlle?

Did you know Réal drank Slivovitz?

A SUN SO BRIGHT

MR. AND MRS. MERO

Hello, Mr. Méro.

What do you want now?

To ask a few questions.
It won't take long.



You already brought down
the awful fascist.

What more do you want?

We didn't bring you down.

You've been cleared
in the Faure case.

That doesn't mean much!

What do you want to know?

-May I come in?
-No!

Is here OK?

-Yes, it's OK.
-I'm listening.

How was Lestrac
when she came to question you?

Very polite.

A few days later, I found myself
at the station accused

of Faure's murder. Why?

Just making sure
she followed procedure.

Otherwise, I have to start all over,

which might not be good for you.

Did you let her in?

Yes.

Do you remember leaving her alone?

In the living room,
to take a call in my office.

OK. Thank you, Mr. Méro.

Why didn't you respond?
I sent you a million texts!

I noticed, thank you.

I had better things to do
than chat with you.

So how'd it go?

It was... quick.

Quick? What do you mean, "quick"?

A quick visit,

then she left us

like fools with our gifts.
It was over in 15 minutes.

But she must have loved
our after-sun cream?

We didn't have time
to show it to her.

I don't believe it!

Oh, no! If only I'd been there.

Then I'm sure we'd have a contract
sitting on my desk!

Thank you.

You're the only one
who sees my potential.

She didn't even take the basket.

No.

We need her, and she's stabbing us
in the back.

We have to do something
to get her back.

There's nothing we can do.

Now I have work to do,
if you don't mind.

-What hotel is she staying in?
-I don't know, Gary.

Check Instagram. She doesn't do
anything without posting about it.

What will you do with this?

I don't know. Nothing.

Just take it.
I don't want to look at it anymore.

OK.

OK. But other than the cop,
have you thought of anyone else?

Anyone? Anyone like who?

Anyone who might have it in for you.

I told you, it was Gaëlle!

She wanted to kill me!

She messed up and now she wants
to pin Faure's murder on me.

OK. Say it was her.

It was her!
You have to believe me, dammit!

OK, Jo. I believe you.

So you didn't know this cop
before she started dating

your roommate's brother?
-No.

She came here a few months ago.

I don't know,
I think she's from Paris.

-You'd never heard of her?
-Never.

I don't know why
she has it in for me.

We have to find out
to get you out of here.

I've thought of every possibility.
I don't get it.

In your work, you make lots
of enemies. Start there.

"Lots"? Let's not exaggerate.

Look at Méro!

OK, I don't make only friends
as a writer.

But I don't spend my time
ruining people's careers.

You don't remember writing an article

that could be connected to this cop,
even remotely or indirectly?

I've written many articles
about cops.

Not all flattering,
you might imagine!

OK, but you don't remember any?
Any in particular?

A few years ago, I wrote
articles on the crime squad

in Seine-Saint-Denis.

They were extorting businesses.
It was big news.

Jo...
In Seine-Saint-Denis?

You're right!

That's right!
Lestrac used to work there!

You think she could've been involved?

I have friends in the police.

One or two owe me a favor.
I'll ask them to find out.

Hey, hey, hey!

Police!
Sit properly on public benches!

-Here. Chicken and veggies.
-Thanks.

I'll finish this text
and then I'm all yours.

I'll send it to Gaëlle and... done.

What was the name of Gaëlle's ex?

Charvet, Éric Charvet.

Why'd she move so far away
when they broke up?

It could've hurt her career.

She said it was a tough breakup,

so she wanted to cut ties.

He was a police commissioner.

Changing departments
wouldn't have helped.

So she moved away, for good.

Why'd she come to Montpellier?

She has no family here.

She doesn't know anyone.

Or she didn't.

What's with all the questions?

I just wonder what she'll do
if she has to leave the police.

You won't let her do that.

It's up to the disciplinary
committee, not me, Alex.

I'm warning you.

I won't let them punish her
like that!

There's a way to cover for her,
and I'll find it.

You'll do no such thing, OK?

First, you can't do what she did.
It's inexcusable.

Second, whatever you do
will just make things worse.

She'll be in more trouble.

Thank you.

Thanks for everything.
Have a nice lunch.

Dammit.

Mrs. Olivia Johnson.

Gary Legrand, Sales Director
for L Cosmetics.

We couldn't meet
because I was in Dubai

signing a big contract
with our partners in the Gulf.

One moment.

I brought you this wonderful
gift basket

we didn't have time
to give you earlier.

It's lovely,

but I can't take it with me.

American Customs officials
are very strict

about bringing in food.

I slipped in

the flagship product
in our new after-sun line.

It's from an ancient formula.

It's made locally, and of course,

100% organic.

We'd be willing to give you
exclusive rights for the US,

England and the Commonwealth.

I'm sorry, but I have to catch

a plane to London,
and I don't want to miss it.

Legrand.

Like Michel!

We're two twin sisters

Born under the sign of Gemini

Mi fa so la mi re,
re mi fa so so so re do

Jo insists it was the cop who wanted
to kill her and framed her.

Yes, prison is making her crazy.

No, I don't think so.

She seemed very sure.

So she convinced you?

It's not just paranoia.

I know my sister. There has to be
some truth to what she's saying.

Gaëlle Lestrac
had no reason to go after her.

Two years ago,
Jo published some articles

on a crime squad
in Seine-Saint-Denis.

I just read them.
They were big.

She accused them and gave names.

There was an investigation,
and the cops paid a big price.

Wait. Wasn't Gaëlle

on the Drug Squad?
-Yes, but... maybe there's

some kind of connection
between Gaëlle and one of those cops.

OK, but how will you find out?

I'm waiting for a call
from a friend in the police.

He'll give me all the information
I need.

If there's a link between Lestrac
and one of them...

Then there's a link
between Lestrac and Jo.

I'm sorry. The battery's dead.

I'll call a colleague.

I can't believe this!
I'll miss my flight!

Even in the middle of Africa,

I never missed a flight!

Mrs. Johnson?

What's going on?

It won't start and she has a flight.

It's your lucky day!
I'll take you.

That's not necessary.
He's calling a taxi.

It's no trouble at all.
It's on the way.

-Come on.
-That's very kind,

but I'd rather wait for another taxi.

You should go. It's rush hour.
There won't be many available.

OK.

You'll take him down
in front of the judge?

-Will you make Dylan pay?
-Why do you want revenge?

Is that justice to you?

Manon, after what he did to us,
I want him to pay.

It's not revenge.
It's just what he deserves.

He deserves to have his life ruined?

Manon, they won't send him
to Guantanamo.

What will you tell the judge?

I don't know yet.

It's tomorrow, Théo.

What if you just tell the truth?

The truth?
Because you know the truth?

Dylan's made mistakes.
He graffities buses and steals bikes,

but if you accuse him in front
of cops, they'll remember.

And he's not a juvenile, Théo,
so think.

Of course I read her record.

I don't have much to add.
She was on my squad for three years.

Gaëlle is an excellent cop.
Not only

has she never crossed the line,
but she follows procedure.

Is there a problem?

Let's just say she seems...

mentally fragile right now.

Gaëlle? Mentally fragile?

Are we talking about the same person?

I heard she transferred
to Montpellier

after breaking up with Charvet.

I never heard that.

That was a year earlier.

And honestly, she took it very well.

Do you know why she asked
for Montpellier and not Biarritz

or Nice?
-Listen, Léoni.

I don't badmouth colleagues.

If you have questions
about Gaëlle's personal life,

ask her directly. OK?

Sorry. I didn't mean to put you
in an awkward position.

I think we're finished here.
Goodbye, Captain.

Well...

I don't get it. I was sure
I took the right shortcut.

But... I don't know where we are.

It's too late anyway.

My flight to London leaves
in ten minutes.

-I'm sorry.
-Take me back to the hotel.

Are you sure?
Do you like that hotel?

It's a dump!
The scrambled eggs are lumpy

and there are no Jacuzzis
in the suites.

-And the spa's not great.
-Don't tell me that.

I ripped them apart on TripAdvisor.

I think

I have a better idea.

Would you like to see
a magical place?

The essence of the region,

and even France?

Is there a Relais & Châteaux nearby?

Something even better.

Allow me.

You heard what the lawyer said.

With that little bitch's testimony,
you could go to jail.

Yes, I heard that.

And you don't care?

You're just going to sit here
and wait for that to happen?

What can I do?

With or without Inès's testimony,
I'm screwed.

No, you're not.

Call her and get her
to change her testimony.

-How do I do that?
-I don't know. Figure it out.

She can say it was just about sex,
and it was Théo's fault.

She'll never do that.
She won't even talk to me.

Try anyway.

I can't.

I can't get rejected again.
It's too hard.

What do you think jail is?
Summer camp?

Quit crying like a girl!
No one ever gave me anything.

I had to fight for everything I have.

It's not over
until you've tried everything.

Who is it?

Dylan. Should I answer it?

I don't think that's a good idea.

He's totally lost.
He needs someone to talk to,

and I'm the only one he trusts.

You broke up.

And the day before the trial
isn't the best time to talk.

It's like his future is in my hands.
That's a lot of pressure.

I know, honey,

but you did everything you could
for him for two years.

Now it's time to think
about yourself.

It's hard for me not to answer.

-It'll be worse if you talk to him.
-Why?

I know what will happen.

He'll make some grand declaration.
You'll feel sorry for him.

Then you won't be able
to testify tomorrow.

You think that's why he's calling?
So I don't talk to the judge?

I think so.

Dylan's not like that.
He's not a manipulator.

Dylan has to handle this on his own.

He has to realize
what he did was serious.

You're right.

Of course I am.

Hi! You've reached Inès's phone.
Please leave a message

or call back. Bye!

Know what bothers me most?

Not that you crossed a line, but that
you let yourself be manipulated.

-You're a cop, aren't you?
-So?

I may be a cop,
but I can also be a victim.

A victim?
Is that how you see yourself?

I know you can't understand,
so I won't even try to convince you.

Anyway, now...

"Now" what?

We both know what could happen to me.

What will you do if you're not a cop?
Stay in Montpellier?

Do you have family or friends here?

I have a boyfriend.
I'll stay with him.

At least I won't have lost
everything.

So it's serious between you two?

Yes, it's serious. Sorry.

No,

don't change the subject.
I'm happy for you.

-I'm just surprised. You moved fast.
-So?

When you came to Montpellier,
hadn't you just broken up?

Yes!

Alex helped me get over it.
Thanks to him, I moved on.

So you transferred
because of the breakup?

Are you the disciplinary board?

What's with the interrogation?

It's not an interrogation.

-You don't have to answer.
-Yes, I will, because you're

so interested in my life.
I left after we broke up.

I turned the page
and my life is here, with Alex.

You can understand that, can't you?

Come in.

Where are we?

Olivia Johnson. Marilyn Legrand,

my mother.

Please, make yourself comfortable.

Yes, of course.

I didn't realize we were going
to your mother's house.

"Life is like a box of chocolates."

It's very charming.

Very French.

What about a little refreshment

before dinner?

Mother, did you make gardiane?

-What a wonderful idea!
-Gardiane?

It's a delicious piece of meat

that's braised for a long time

and simmered for hours
in a wine and herb sauce.

My specialty.

Hours?

That's very nice of you,

but I have some phone calls to make
and I'm really not very hungry.

Can Michel show me to my room?

-Michel?
-Yes. You must be tired

after all those unfortunate mishaps.
Follow me.

I'll bring you a snack.

But...

Oh, no!

Oh, well.

I don't understand.
What did he say?

I thought he was just
being nice to me.

But he wasn't.

He had something else in mind.

-Like what?
-He wanted to get me to talk.

Why'd you feel obliged to answer
his questions?

I have nothing to hide.

I don't want him to think I do.

Who cares what Manu thinks?

I'm tired of him pressuring you.

He called the disciplinary board.
Now he should leave you alone.

It's all right!

It's not a problem.

We're together.
That's all that matters.

Problems at work don't matter.

You're right.

I have to take this call.

-Frank?
-Hi. I'm calling

because I got a strange call
from Captain Léoni earlier.

He asked me all about you,
Charvet and why you left.

-What'd you say?
-Not much. If you ask me,

he's investigating you.
Are you having problems?

I'll tell you later.

-Can't talk right now?
-That's right.

OK.

Call back anytime. And take care
of yourself. I miss you.

Miss you, too.

Bye, Frank. Thanks for calling.

A trap? What an idea!

-You sure you won't regret it?
-Leave me alone!

I know what I'll say.
You can't change my mind.

-Why do you want to know that?
-Answer the question.

-He won't leave me alone.
-Want me to talk to him?

We'll have to sell the house
to settle her lawsuit.
