Baron noir (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Twins - full transcript
Released from prison between the two rounds of the presidential election, yet still monitored by an electronic bracelet, Philippe Rickwaert attempts to convince socialist candidate Amélie Dorendeu to review her strategy. He wants her to strike an alliance with Michel Vidal, leader of the radical left party. But soon, the Baron Noir is overtaken by his own maneuvers, which threaten to weaken Dorendeu. They now run the risk of a National Front victory.
D minus 9
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:26,230
That's 20 fewer proxies than for the
first round, it's not normal...
It should be the other way around,
even for convicts.
Some don't vote because
they say they can't decide.
Undecided? It's a second round
against the National Front.
No need to think for ages.
It's mostly Muslims that hesitate.
Stop saying Muslims.
They're not all Muslims.
Not all Arabs are Muslims.
Am I Catholic? No, and yet I'm white.
Yes, but they're Muslim Arabs. They
don't like marriage for fags.
They say left wingers are fags.
Stop saying fags, damn it!
Who's leading them? Is it Khaled?
Go get him...
Rickwaert? The warden
IS asking to see you.
I told the channel
both of us would go.
Good. That is done.
I'll be right back.
So, at France Inter at 2 p.m.
If you want, I can go there by myself
Yeah.
and I'll see you there.
Yeah, what time do I tell them?
How are you?
The electronic tag is a bit tight
but everything is fine.
What, you're out?
An hour ago.
They moved the date forward to avoid
pictures in front of the prison
I just need to avoid the media
until the second round.
I am very happy for you.
Can we see each other soon?
It's too dangerous. If we are
seen together, it's over for me.
No one will see us.
Girardin is going to help us.
Girardin, mayor
of the 19th district?
It's in my perimeter. I have to
respect a security perimeter
otherwise it beeps
Can you sort your shit for 10 PM?
You don't have a meeting tonight.
It would be safer to keep
working on the phone.
Two months on the phone,
I've had enough.
I need to see you
Listen, Philippe,
you said it yourself .
A candidate to presidency
can't date a convict? Yeah...
But I won't jump on you, don't worry.
I just want to discuss the strategy.
I've been thinking.
Listen...
I might be able to make 11 PM.
I'm sending you the address.
See you tonight.
Did you hear Dorendeu's
morning radio show?
Yeah, she's still not connecting
with our voters.
Philippe?
I broke out of prison.
Can you find me a hideout?
I'm glad you're out.
I won't keep you for long When
will you publicly support Amélie?
No pressure, of course
But Thursday before 6 PM.
Would be ideal.
This way, at the meeting in Albi...
At least I am making you laugh.
I was afraid prison
might have changed you.
So, Albi en Thursday.
Amélie can rely on your call,
that will be beautiful.
Within 20 miles of Carmaux,
the left-wingers finally unite
on the land of the great Jaures.
Very exciting, but what's the link
between Dorendeu and left-wing?
Precisely, Michel Vidal!
Orator of the people,
compass of the left-wing.
She doesn't need me to win anymore
Not for the presidency.
We want an agreement of withdrawal
for the general election.
That's news to me.
Have you ever heard me defend
anything but the left-wing united?
With your candidate, you're quite
far away from it.
You're wrong, she's going there.
Why would I support her otherwise?
So she no longer sees me as
a populist, a should-do-ist?
Amélie is going to announce to Albi
a plan to adjust wages
A 10% increase in minimum wage
and welfare.
Is that enough reconciliation?
And above minimum wage?
I want to reinstate
the sliding scale of salaries.
For that, you should
have won the election.
But I'm sure you'll be happy
with a social conference about pay
with a cap on salaries
to 30 times the minimum wage.
Why didn't she propose it
during the campaign?
Stop looking back, Michel.
You're young, think of the future.
I'll think about it.
Are you calling me back
or should I listen to Radio Moscow?
You'll have your answer after Albi
Thank you, Mister Mayor.
Damn, you're so beautiful.
Thank you.
So, how do we do this?
Are we still kissing hello?
We have two hours.
Would you like to see
my arguments for the debate?
Do you have your speech for Albi?
It is being written.
I've been thinking of a few things.
10% on minimum wage and welfare,
I told you no in the first round
so it's not going to happen now.
Huge mistake.
And maximum wage at 30 times
the minimum!
I would look
as if I'm after Vidal's voters.
You would look like
you're uniting the left-wing.
Against the National Front,
I have to unite way more.
We don't care about
the National Front.
The presidential election is over.
The aim was just
getting to the second round.
For that, you just had to convince
that a ballsy girl is better
than Auzanet and his 130 years
of political life.
So, well done.
But now, there's just a detail to fix
so that you get a majority
at the Assembly to govern.
The higher I am in the second round
the higher I will be
In the general elections.
That's total bullshit.
You know me, I love creative
strategy, but that's bullshit.
You could do 80%,
it wouldn't change anything.
Everyone will sheepishly
return to their team.
35% for the left,
35% for the right.
30% for the National Front.
More than 300 in the second round.
You want to talk to all of France?
Wait until you have a majority.
For now, speak to the left.
That is how you will govern.
I was ahead of Vidal.
The clarification was made by voters.
His voters will choose the socialists
over the right or the National Front.
Do you know what it's called?
What?
That. Your theory.
It's relying totally on luck.
And that doesn't last for 5 years.
You want to govern?
You need a majority.
You want a majority?
You need to unite the left.
Therefore you're
for increasing the wage.
Vidal has a crazy programme.
He represents something.
He is respected. Vidal is a compass.
In the end, it is that compass
that designate left and right.
It looks like total improvisation.
You have to do it well and you will.
You have to siphon Vidal,
mobilise the abstainers.
Did you talk to Vidal?
Yes, earlier. The door's not closed.
But most of his guys would rather
take a freight train up the arse
than agree with you.
So we have to be faster than them.
And, this?
I thought that if you paid bail...
I need a bit of cash,
it's a matter of days.
We're going to appeal
and finish gathering funds.
Albi is going to be a nice meeting.
I haven't promised
you anything, Philippe.
Did I say you had?
We're talking, that's all.
After all, you and I, we're only
allowed to talk, aren't we?
Hi, Daddy
So, how is it in London?
Are you getting used to it?
The fog? And all the rain?
In Dunkirk, I was always
wearing sunscreen, so...
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What is that noise?
Nothing.
Hang on.
I'll call you back, Salomé.
Yes, hello?
Mr. Philippe Rickwaert? Anneville
penitentiary surveillance centre.
We've lost your signal.
Where are you?
I am at my place. The apartment
that I put in my file.
The GPS of your phone confirms
your location.
I'll deactivate the alarm.
Good night, sir.
Yes, good night, thank you.
So, this number, you have an idea?
Every winnable constituency leads to
harsh talks with the socialists.
Amélie, how many centrist
deputies can you guarantee?
If I give you a number, you'll
immediately add 20 to 30%.
Really? Why would I do that?
That's what you learn
In business school, isn't it?
Except I never went
to business school.
That's not what I read.
I signed up, but
when I took-my A-levels I was already
earning twice as much as my dad.
Thank you.
You can see why I am a bit
wary of your business skills.
Business skills is not
like selling carpets.
And agreeing on a number
is not that exciting, believe me.
The strength in business,
like in politics,
is ideas. Consumers,
citizens, all people are the same.
They want freshness. You, me.
40.
OK, that's a deal.
What, really?
But, is that what you expected?
No, I was expecting a bit more,
of course,
but a switch of alliances of
socialists towards centrists?
That's never been seen before.
When we announce it and you
are elected. everything will explode.
If there's not a total trust
between you and me,
we'll be smashed to bits.
We're working here. I like it.
- Hi, Cyril
- Hi.
You see?
I see what?
I've been telling you all along.
58, you're going to be an MP.
What is on the board there, Toph?
- The results of the first round.
- First round of what?
- The presidentials
- And I am a candidate of what?
The general elections, but...
The presidentials are not the general
elections. It's not the same.
Amélie can very well be president
without a majority.
If Laugier hadn't dissolved
the Assembly when resigning,
we wouldn't be here.
Laugier would have a majority.
Look,
See the left-wing. 21.7% for Amélie,
okay, 12.8% for Vidal.
That's 37.5%
-Okay.
-Now for the right.
20.9% for the republicans,
12.1% for the centrists.
and 4.2% for Loiseau.
-How much is that?
-It's...
It's 37.2%.
37.5 and 37.2, it's the same.
Also, Thorigny has urged
for votes for Amélie.
Yes, against the NF,
but in the general election,
the centrists will stick with
their team, on the right.
Against the right, I'll get thrashed.
In a triangular against the NF,
and the right is ahead, people will
follow to obstruct the NF.
And if it's a quadrangular,
with the left of the left,
If Vidal's guy holds on,
I'll be winged.
Yeah, it's not what it
used to be, Toph.
There's no more left and right,
you understand?
Mr. Son of a Bitch.
-Please, Philippe.
-No. I'm Mr. Rickwaert.
"Philippe" was when you
wanted me to sell myself for you.
May I come in? It's really important.
Please do sit down,
Mr. Son of a Bitch.
If I had wanted it,
you wouldn't be here today.
I had a grip on the judge.
He was ready to charge you
for incitation to suicide.
But you had second thoughts. Deep
inside, even from the right, Boudard,
You have a heart like this.
Or you thought, Auzanet was
such a loser during the campaign,
let's not insult the future.
Amélie was great, no?
She managed to rally all the leaders
while affirming her identity,
she made the most of the divisions
in the right-wing.
She is exceptional. We're agreed.
I'm a Gaullist, Philippe.
I want to see the NF swept away.
At night, I dream that I hit
Chalon with my car,
and that he's begging me
to take him to the hospital.
But I speed up and I run him over.
And you know what?
I have a boner when I wake up.
It mustn't be close
in the second round.
The Republic must clearly impose
herself.
Mr. Son of a Bitch is a good talker.
And?
Auzanet can't handle the defeat.
He knows he fucked up.
His ego is down his socks,
he can't think properly.
He's hesitant to support Amélie?
For a guy badmouthing neither-nors.
With a frank and powerful support
from the right of Auzanet,
Amélie can climb to 60%.
And? What do we get?
There's no bonus.
It sounds very UMPS.
It's very dangerous.
You and I
never played with the Front.
Amélie must call Jean-Marc.
-Only she can please his dick.
-What if he explains what she did?
-She'll look like a pussy.
-He won't tell
He won't talk.
With his backing, he'll want her
to get the best score possible.
He is depressed, but not yet moronic.
On that, I'm going to have trouble
believing your word.
Excuse me if I don't show you out.
11 days.
We can't do any better?
Nope. It's the legal cooling off
period. Can't do anything.
On the 11th day, I'll have the cash?
No, the 12th. It takes time to do the
withdrawal to the legal authority.
How do I remove my tag?
You know what a pain it is?
Listen, I didn't choose
to put your bail at 60,000 euros.
What if we forget about the mortgage?
You just make me a loan.
5%, you don't need to
sit on my house.
Your house in Dunkirk
is our guarantee.
Have you seen my accounts?
I have always budgeted like a clerk.
As soon as a customer says something
that doesn't add up, you clam up.
Icy stare.
What is it? Special technique?
Is there training? Seminars?
Powerpoint presentation?
Big disassociation between
the eyes and the smile. Very good.
Of course there is fucking training!
So, how are we doing this,
Mr Rickwaert?
First, I'm going to learn your trick.
Have you thought about your
daughter's ownership saving scheme.
Have you seen the opening date?
-1999. Salomé's birth year.
-Yes. So...
You know, regarding the money
I mentioned...
Why, "at the moment"?
What's happening?
You have your company, your flat,
your boat, your cabin?
I just want to understand the concept
of "at the moment".
Not at all. I know that if you could,
you would help me.
I know you're a good guy.
You're not a son of a bitch.
-I'm glad.
-Very glad.
Come tell me what you've been up to.
Tell me about your constituency.
A lot of complicated cases.
The treasury of Melisey,
the Hermes factory in Hericourt,
We give you a nice, left-wing
constituency and you're complaining?
Simply airdropped in.
My dad grew up in Haute-Saone.
He loved this place.
This changes everything,
it's virtually your birthplace, then!
All right, all right.
It's important to come back
to your people.
The taste of the real, the essential,
nature, camping, frankfurters...
Exactly.
Be careful, Cyril. People don't like
airdrop guys too much.
Precisely.
What do I do in a triangular,
with the NF at 32%,
if Amélie doesn't unite the left?
-She needs to step towards Vidal.
-Tomorrow, in Albi.
Why, did you see her?
As soon as I got out.
You don't change a winning team.
I never managed to bring Laugier
into the union of the left
Because he hates Vidal.
But with Amélie, though she's
farther right, I'll succeed.
20 years of political combat!
Until then, you hide your parachute,
and plough your field.
I was thinking of taking
one of your ideas.
You know, the written note
under every door to say I came by.
-That's an old thing. Who told you?
-Vero
Good, you're talking
to each other again.
A little, yeah.
Why doesn't she call me?
It's hurtful.
Since I got out, I've had 20,000
texts. I see you, I spoke to Amélie,
But her, nothing.
I don't have scabies!
20 years of friendship!
I could take this the wrong way.
She's afraid you'll dump her.
It's normal
No, it's not normal.
It's twisted, yeah.
I don't like twisted things.
She knows me.
I get angry fast,
but I don't hold grudges.
Am I holding grudges??
Okay, I'll talk to her,
but you guarantee me, no hassle.
About schools, we should add
a line about teachers.
-It worked well in Besancon.
-No thanks, it'll be okay
Sure? Internationally we can...
I need to be alone.
How is my candidate?
I'm okay, thank you.
Thanks again for the other night.
It's helped me a lot.
But I've been thinking.
I don't want to change my line.
I keep the indexation of minimum wage
on inflation. No 10%.
Amélie, you can't let Vidal down.
That's a fuck-up.
These guys are very radicalised.
For the general elections
we'll get bad reports, so...
I've decided, Philippe.
With whom?
What do you mean, "with whom?"
With whom did you decide?
With myself. Stop already.
Amélie, it's a mistake. Going right
will cost points at the elections.
We'll talk again soon.
I have to be on stage in 10 minutes.
Kisses.
Here she comes.
We're supposed to be
very happy to meet. Okay?
Agreed?
You okay?
I'm happy we're all together but...
I have a bit of a situation.
You have to tell me, Vero,
Who's advising Amélie?
Dammit, Philippe. What the hell?
Who's she really listening to?
It's a trap. Listen, I'm sorry, Vero.
Let go, Cyril, it's all right.
Vero
Who is Amélie talking to?
-I don't know. Almost everyone...
-Dammit, Vero.
You know her. I'm not fibbing.
That sucks. I had her under control.
We understood one...
All right, let's calm down,
sit down, have a coffee.
Three coffees, please. Come, Vero.
-Were you with her yesterday morning?
-Yes. And?
With who?
Dupraz.
Kalhenberg.
Mirmont?
No, listen. What's the matter?
Albi, dammit, Vero.
Not a single move toward Vidal!
You know how I'll fare in
a triangular
without a united left?
In bloody tatters.
We're supposed to be
very happy to meet.
And Cyril, you're not alone.
There are 577 constituencies,
remember.
The higher Amélie is In
the second round,
the higher our candidates
will do in the election. No worries.
That's what I want to know.
Who put that bullshit in her head?
Mirmont. It's the socialist right
brainwashing her. Full steam right.
Her French fucking Bad-Godesberg.
-Philippe, stop.
Listen, there's nothing between them.
It's cold.
It could be a play
to confuse everyone.
Wait, it's me you're confusing.
Philippe, you have to trust her.
You were right about Laugier.
Now listen to me about Amélie.
-She is the candidate.
Thanks to who? I did time for her.
Listen, I have all
the flaws in the world.
But about political trends,
I'm the shit.
I feel that it's bad. If she doesn't
step to Vidal, she'll be president,
but she'll never have a majority.
The best is if Auzanet doesn't
back her.
-A nice neither-nor
-Against the NF, every vote matters.
For the last time, we've already won
presidential election. Fuck the NF.
Vero, if Auzanet backs her up,
we'll never get Vidal's support.
-Never
-So, no Auzanet backup. Right?
That's enough, the two of you,
All right?
Listen to me. I work every day
with Amélie.
So I can tell you, she knows
where she is going. Okay?
Wait. She knows where she's going?
-Yes
-And she's hearing voices?
We don't want Joan of Arc. We want
the guy she saved. King Charles VII.
She mustn't get the wrong reference.
I'm Joan of Arc in this story.
-Hello. Philippe?
-Boudard, it's okay.
What do you mean?
I just spoke to Amélie. Tell Auzanet
she'll ring him tomorrow morning
She'll suck his dick the right way,
you see.
That's great.
-Listen Philippe...
-Gotta go.
Yes, David, I understand.
It's getting late.
Yes, no, we'll do that tomorrow,
okay ? First thing in the morning.
I promise you. Thanks
See you tomorrow. Bye.
Thank you Jean-Marc. Good night.
Walking is not bad.
So, I'm calling Philippe back.
No
You see, Francois,
last night, when you said Dorendeu
would call me, I was patronising,
But the truth is, I really wanted it.
A little softness
In this world of brutes,
That's what I thought.
I'm such a twat.
-Jean-Marc
-What a massive tosser!
-Jean-Marc...
No, enough! Stop!
No, you stop!
- It's over, Jean-Marc.
We lost by a little, but she won.
We have to accept it.
The only question now
is how you are going to exit.
What mark do you want to leave?
What legacy?
A shameful neither-nor?
We might as well glorify those
willing to ally with the NF.
All those who back stabbed you in
the campaign and made us lose.
Just a little phone call.
What did it cost to her?
What did it cost?
She wants to win alone. Without you.
-Not to owe us anything, afterwards.
-Bitch
It doesn't depend on her. Just call
against the NF so it doesn't happen.
Rickwaert is behind all this.
Without your support,
Dorendeu goes left,
the she can ally with Vidal
for the elections.
Fuck her right up, Jean-Marc.
Fuck.
Put it under cold water quick.
Is it burning?
-You okay?
-Yeah.
What's going on?
"I am Joan of Arc."
It'll stick with me for a while.
Definitely
Your boss needs to replace
the machine.
-Well,that.
-There's no "well, that".
Joan of Arc whispered that to me.
Mr Auzanet!
Look how a former President
ends up so abject.
Unable to overcome his pride.
He didn't even call against the NF.
I'm gonna vote,
and not for Mr Chalon so...
You're not calling to vote
for Amélie Dorendeu?
Let me finish.
I won't vote for Mr Chalon,
so I'll vote fer Amélie Dorendeu.
You thought this through...
Joan of Arc is not great, there.
I have been President...
Are you okay?
For 5 years.
I don't know
if Mrs Dorendeu will do well.
I have serious doubts about it,
But I know one thing ..
Yeah, I'm okay.
...Mr Chalon would harm
the French market...
Against the extremes, said
unfortunate' candidate, J-M Auzanet,
calling-the republicans
not to-vote Chalon.
Socialist candidate Amélie Dorendeu
gave her green transition programme.
I could take on both of them
at the debate", mocked L. Chalon...
D. Kalhenberg insisted on European
revival, proposed by A. Dorendeu...
Student march in Paris today
against the NF...
Two days before the between-round
debate, the gap is closing...
Since at least four polls
confirm the same trend,
the socialist candidate has lost
three points to Chalon
With 53 , of voters, Dorendeu remains
ahead, but the decay is worrying,
as the dynamic seems
to have changed teams,
proven by a viral video with millions
of views In a few days,
that ridiculed Dorendeu and Auzanet,
as if they were twins...
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
I will lower our deficit.
! will control the debt.
In a word,
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
Not because Brussels asks for it
but because it is
the condition of our sovereignty,
the condition of our sovereignty.
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
CHALON NOW
Chalon for President
I keep saying,
make the polls lie.
Make them lie, big time.
Make them lie by giving me
a big victory, my friends.
A massive victory...
To prevent all questioning
of the result.
Because I know that the loser
will be tempted to do so.
Patriots of France, and overseas,
gobsmacked by
the inability of the state
to protect you from the assault
of the Muslim caliphate
and it's fifth pillar.
To all of you,
no matter your race,
your religion, your social condition,
it is a man of the people
who is telling you,
enter this new France.
that I want strong...
Don't be oblivious.
You know we're on course to crash.
Oblivious?
His backing her was a disaster.
One day has put you in this state?
...clearly radical.
Hello
Hello Amélie.
We were talking about the polls.
We lost three points in three days.
We have to steer left
Of course, steer left! Beautiful!
Philippe, Check out this poll
I got a ticket, steer left.
My wife is cheating, steer left.
My wife Is cheating?
Sexism is not improving.
Neither is the Marxist superego.
Can you stop with cliches, please?
On both sides thank you.
Talking about cliches,
you could have avoided them for BFM.
What about it?
Since when are socialists proud to
have an IMF-approved programme?
Daniel was talking about R. Ferr
and C. Hoffler, the economists
for the IMF.
Not about the institution.
Meanwhile, the people's opinion
is the same as for the twins video.
Let's stop bickering.
Let's not panic. It's temporary
An internet effect impairs the curve
only a short time.
Chalon at 51?
It's impossible. Who is it?
Erasme?
Never mind, it's a young institute
trying to generate buzz to get known.
Maybe they're giving raw numbers
precisely because they're young.
What is their sample?
10,000.
10,000?
The three polls they're arguing about
downstairs, only 1,000.
Handle them without me, please.
I'm 100% on the debate
I only have 48 hours left to prepare,
and it all comes down to that.
Okay.
These losses to the left
are terrible.
I need to get Vidal back.
Every vote will count
Michel Vidal?
The guy who said
"We have to beat Liberalism?
before it causes as many deaths
as Stalinism or Nazism"?
Stéphane, to govern together,
we have to beat Chalon first.
"First". The magic word that allows
you to do anything or nothing.
Which is often the same.
Before being a candidate against
Auzanet, did I say "first"?
Before calling to vote for you on
Sunday night, did I say "first"?
I guarantee you that nothing
we discuss will be challenged.
I'd be surprised! What's your plan?
Constituent assembly? Revoke the
elected? Break the European treaties?
Helping myself out,
by raising minimum wage
and welfare by 10%.
There you go.
My commitment is based on sincerity,
and you want me to join
your between-round improv
ruining the country.
Ruining? Let's not exaggerate.
We can still blend.
"Blend"? I hate that.
You might as well join
the Socialist head office.
Stéphane, I'm sure that
we are able to overcome this.
Able? Yes. I am able of a lot, yes.
I am able to have the centre govern
with your left,
serious, modern, concrete.
Since only this alliance can protect
this country from dangerous extremes.
I am able to make concessions.
I have made some.
But with concrete budgets.
Trust between the governments and
taxpayers is based on this.
I am able to lose dear friends
that might turn their back on me.
They'll call me a traitor,
I know it, I accept it.
But 10% on minimum wage
and welfare? No! It's too much!
It's too much. That kind of promise.
I'll tell you what it reminds me of?
A bad remake of the night
of the 4th of August.
Just cheaper, and tinier.
We want to help people,
and we do it by sinking companies
when they are the ones hiring.
This is clowning around. Theatre.
The country needs seriousness,
expertise, temperance, balance.
Helping yourself out?
Absolutely necessary, of course.
But we apply what we had agreed on.
We put the country to work,
we reform.
Flexibility on one side,
security on the other.
We gather the social partners,
we trust them.
They do propositions, we supervise
with the law. The assembly votes,
there you go. Efficiency. Legitimacy
No monkey business.
Anneville penitentiary
surveillance centre.
We've lost your signal.
Where are you?
Up your arse.
Do you have a pen?
Here, for the bail.
Well done!
You'll be unchained, Spartacus.
How did you do that?
I'm going to write a book.
The editors are excited.
I got a nice advance.
What's in the book?
A bit of everything, in my own way.
A bit of everything", no.
"In your own way", no.
A big print run,
If it helps you pay my fees, yes.
It's important that magistrates
can read it and see that you're
consumed by the gravity of your acts
and will never do politics again.
Do I announce my suicide
in the preface or postface?
Philippe, we want the guys
to feel powerful.
If you flagellate yourself
at their feet,
they will be merciful.
Trust me, I know them.
You can't ask me that.
In a few years,
everyone will have forgotten.
You will write another book
explaining your return to politics.
A second bestseller.
In ten years?
Philippe, do you have a choice?
Not to die?
Can we see each other?
When?
This evening.
You look beaten up.
Vidal, minimum wage,
welfare, I'm ready.
You have to help me make it happen.
I never thought I'd say this
to you but...
At this point, you mustn't do that.
It would be a huge tactical mistake.
I mustn't unite the left.
For the general election,
of course you must,
the problem now isn't the election,
It's beating Chalon on Sunday.
I'm losing points to the left.
If you go after them,
you'll lose them to the right.
Especially to everyone else. Because
you'll gun down your presidentiality.
What would we see in you?
A scared woman.
She abandons her programme when
scared. A panicking president?
And for the next terrorist attack?
You'll panic then, too?
You should've gone left
when you were high.
Now that you are low, it shows fear.
And what do I do?
The barrier against the NF?
That's what Auzanet did, that's when
the curve started to switch.
The UMPS.
So you do a triangular.
With the National Front?
So what?
You use their themes.
You do a triangular.
Chalon is not embarrassed, talking
about Jaures every 10 minutes.
So, what? Islam,
identity, burkini?
We start all over? That's the trap
that took me a month to get out of.
Yes, and it was good.
You have credit.
The right did the triangulation,
when you see the result.
Apart from making the NF bigger...
They do it like brutes
The triangular means using their
themes, not adopting their theories.
No, I can't. This is not me.
If you want to become President,
you must do a lot that isn't you.
You can attack him on everything.
If you beat him on Daesh,
you've won.
Excuse me?
Don't call him a Nazi, call him an
Islamist. They want the NF to win.
On Monday, the FAF far-righters
will start getting wild.
Licence to Kill.
Chalon will act like a scared virgin,
it'll be chaos.
Civil war.
Racist incidents, reprisal, riots,
burned mosques, re-riots,
attacks, lynching.
And his irrefutable answer,
an NF authoritarian state.
Erdogan at the Élysée.
But that's crazy, I can't attack on
a fictional political scenario.
But you can rip off his mask of
a perfect son-in-law.
We can't compare racist reactionaries
and guys with assault rifles.
You can't say it like that,
but that's your message.
How?
The debate is tomorrow.
How?
"How?" You have to work, Amélie.
How much time do you have?
All night
HAUTE-SAONE
2nd constituency
Chalon has four kids. He will
inevitably attack you on that.
No, too sexist. He's already
behind with the women.
What if he attacks
my relationship with you?
You and I, it never existed. Never.
There are photos.
We can't see anything.
Impossible to prove.
Anyway, you deny it all.
You kill him nicely.
It's an open bar.
But I don't think he'll come to that.
Lots of people think you're a lesbo.
Excuse me?
Have you never Googled your name?
Wait, do you have signal?
Yeah.
Give it to me.
First, you have A. Dorendeu Jewish.
That's normal. I used to have that
too. Now, I have Rickwaert jail.
I preferred the kippur.
What else do I have?
A. Dorendeu lesbian, then socialist,
then hot.
Hot?
Yeah, 12,000 screenshots
of your interview last month.
You know your skimpy white blouse?
Yeah.
We can see a bra strap.
My co-convicts thank you.
It is arousing, but very high-end,
It's a change from YouPorn.
I'm sorry for earlier. You gonna win.
Call me soon.
Again?
Europe and migration.
My position is clear,
and has never changed.
France will take part
in the EU established agreements.
It's way too much.
Some think it's not enough.
Like Stéphane Thorigny...
The centrist candidate suggested that
France get closer
to Germany's position
but this is not my choice.
But Stéphane Thorigny is backing you
up, isn't he?
Our programmes are not the same.
Far from it.
So how will you govern with him?
Can you explain that?
Your phone there.
I just read your texts.
Are you doing business with him?
Since when?
Several weeks.
Why didn't you tell me?
What are you afraid of?
Of you.
You wouldn't have understood
or given me a break.
So you lie to me?
Dammit, Philippe, not now, please.
Tell me what you're doing
with those right wingers.
Even at 5 a.m the day before
the debate, you're harassing me?
You do it all wrong.
You're gonna break the left.
You'll never have the major...
What I want is to save France
from immobilism.
Immobilism? What is immobilism?
The right to work?
Social protection...
Yeah, I'm an evil right winger.
You're aware that by doing that,
we can't work together?
It depends on you
Bashing the poor people, I can't.
Wait, One thing.
Why did you come to see me?
Be honest, at least one.
A bit of respect.
Because you are like Chalon.
Ultraviolent, transgressive,
aggressive and without limits.
That is what I needed for tomorrow.
The National Front at the Élysée?
"Bankruptcy", "failure,"
"Shame"."Dishonour".
so chanted the catastrophists
all week.
claiming the holy "morals"
even though for 30 years,
they have, you have
chosen money over people.
Stats over life,
and the empire of the one thought,
which made you blind, or worse,
that is, the vital threat of
Islamic fundamentalism,
from Arabic deserts
to our destroyed cities.
And it's us, the patriots,
who are the danger?
They predict the catastrophe
but it is their fear that is talking.
Fear of losing their privileges.
Frenchmen. Women.
My dear compatriots, this fear is
theirs. Great people of France,
for you, hope is back.
Give me your strength
Your strength of united people.
Of courageous people.
Victory is here.
Grab it.
Long live the Republic.
Long live France.
Thank you, Mr. Chalon.
Mrs Dorendeu, your conclusion.
Thanks.
To conclude the debate
they say not only to answer,
but to talk to the French people.
Yet, Mr. Chalon, I want to
answer you, and I will.
You claim to love France,
But in reality,
you've already left it.
Because tonight,
you kept on discrediting it
demeaning it, denigrating it.
And the worst part
Is that you are abandoning it
when our non-religious republic
is in the heart of an ideological war
against an enemy
claiming to slaughter us,
Radical Islamism.
I now want to address all
the followers of that ideology,
that I want to address,
In the name of every one of us.
To you Jihadists who try to enrol
the youth of France
into fanaticism and violence.
Preachers of death, your medieval
philosophy doesn't scare us.
Look at France.
Look at the French people.
We are not afraid. Mr. Chalon,
You were talking about fear, as well.
Fear? Look at my hands.
They don't shake. Look at my head.
It is held high.
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid of being a woman.
Single and without kids,
even if France has never had
a female President.
I'm not afraid of being progressist.
I'm not afraid of being a republican.
I am not afraid of you.
Because the French people driven
by their generous hearts
and their hope of togetherness
will go with a firm hand
and heads held high
to vote for the republican homeland.
My dear compatriots,
On Sunday we will live
one of these republican moments
that make our history so great.
One of these moments when we say,
long live democracy.
Long live the great laws
about education,
secularity, right of strike,
long live the right of work,
social progress,
the emancipation of women,
Long live the Republic.
Long live France.
Philippe, this is Michel Vidal.
You won.
Your Amélie, I liked what
I saw and heard tonight.
My daughter said,
this woman's a warrior...
My son said, "I like her war".
Tomorrow morning,
I'm doing a press conference
to explain my backing.
I'll call you back.
Great. We wanted estimation.
56.
What is this?
52.4.
Who's your contact there?
52.4.
He's going to get beaten up.
First hundred, or exit.
Wait, we don't have the right number.
So, it's 06.
07 80 27
Yeah.
...38.
It's rather good. Yeah, great.
Ipsos?
Thank you. 52.7.
52.9 for BVA.
Odoxa, Viavoice, Sofres,
nothing under 52.
And the small one, Erasme?
Do you have it?
Wait, I've seen a window. Earlier.
Does someone have Erasme?
You have something?
53.2.
Amélie,
you won.
You're the first female
President of the Republic.
DUNKIRK
PASCAL CARTHAUD
YOUR NEXT MP FOR DUNKIRK
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:26,230
That's 20 fewer proxies than for the
first round, it's not normal...
It should be the other way around,
even for convicts.
Some don't vote because
they say they can't decide.
Undecided? It's a second round
against the National Front.
No need to think for ages.
It's mostly Muslims that hesitate.
Stop saying Muslims.
They're not all Muslims.
Not all Arabs are Muslims.
Am I Catholic? No, and yet I'm white.
Yes, but they're Muslim Arabs. They
don't like marriage for fags.
They say left wingers are fags.
Stop saying fags, damn it!
Who's leading them? Is it Khaled?
Go get him...
Rickwaert? The warden
IS asking to see you.
I told the channel
both of us would go.
Good. That is done.
I'll be right back.
So, at France Inter at 2 p.m.
If you want, I can go there by myself
Yeah.
and I'll see you there.
Yeah, what time do I tell them?
How are you?
The electronic tag is a bit tight
but everything is fine.
What, you're out?
An hour ago.
They moved the date forward to avoid
pictures in front of the prison
I just need to avoid the media
until the second round.
I am very happy for you.
Can we see each other soon?
It's too dangerous. If we are
seen together, it's over for me.
No one will see us.
Girardin is going to help us.
Girardin, mayor
of the 19th district?
It's in my perimeter. I have to
respect a security perimeter
otherwise it beeps
Can you sort your shit for 10 PM?
You don't have a meeting tonight.
It would be safer to keep
working on the phone.
Two months on the phone,
I've had enough.
I need to see you
Listen, Philippe,
you said it yourself .
A candidate to presidency
can't date a convict? Yeah...
But I won't jump on you, don't worry.
I just want to discuss the strategy.
I've been thinking.
Listen...
I might be able to make 11 PM.
I'm sending you the address.
See you tonight.
Did you hear Dorendeu's
morning radio show?
Yeah, she's still not connecting
with our voters.
Philippe?
I broke out of prison.
Can you find me a hideout?
I'm glad you're out.
I won't keep you for long When
will you publicly support Amélie?
No pressure, of course
But Thursday before 6 PM.
Would be ideal.
This way, at the meeting in Albi...
At least I am making you laugh.
I was afraid prison
might have changed you.
So, Albi en Thursday.
Amélie can rely on your call,
that will be beautiful.
Within 20 miles of Carmaux,
the left-wingers finally unite
on the land of the great Jaures.
Very exciting, but what's the link
between Dorendeu and left-wing?
Precisely, Michel Vidal!
Orator of the people,
compass of the left-wing.
She doesn't need me to win anymore
Not for the presidency.
We want an agreement of withdrawal
for the general election.
That's news to me.
Have you ever heard me defend
anything but the left-wing united?
With your candidate, you're quite
far away from it.
You're wrong, she's going there.
Why would I support her otherwise?
So she no longer sees me as
a populist, a should-do-ist?
Amélie is going to announce to Albi
a plan to adjust wages
A 10% increase in minimum wage
and welfare.
Is that enough reconciliation?
And above minimum wage?
I want to reinstate
the sliding scale of salaries.
For that, you should
have won the election.
But I'm sure you'll be happy
with a social conference about pay
with a cap on salaries
to 30 times the minimum wage.
Why didn't she propose it
during the campaign?
Stop looking back, Michel.
You're young, think of the future.
I'll think about it.
Are you calling me back
or should I listen to Radio Moscow?
You'll have your answer after Albi
Thank you, Mister Mayor.
Damn, you're so beautiful.
Thank you.
So, how do we do this?
Are we still kissing hello?
We have two hours.
Would you like to see
my arguments for the debate?
Do you have your speech for Albi?
It is being written.
I've been thinking of a few things.
10% on minimum wage and welfare,
I told you no in the first round
so it's not going to happen now.
Huge mistake.
And maximum wage at 30 times
the minimum!
I would look
as if I'm after Vidal's voters.
You would look like
you're uniting the left-wing.
Against the National Front,
I have to unite way more.
We don't care about
the National Front.
The presidential election is over.
The aim was just
getting to the second round.
For that, you just had to convince
that a ballsy girl is better
than Auzanet and his 130 years
of political life.
So, well done.
But now, there's just a detail to fix
so that you get a majority
at the Assembly to govern.
The higher I am in the second round
the higher I will be
In the general elections.
That's total bullshit.
You know me, I love creative
strategy, but that's bullshit.
You could do 80%,
it wouldn't change anything.
Everyone will sheepishly
return to their team.
35% for the left,
35% for the right.
30% for the National Front.
More than 300 in the second round.
You want to talk to all of France?
Wait until you have a majority.
For now, speak to the left.
That is how you will govern.
I was ahead of Vidal.
The clarification was made by voters.
His voters will choose the socialists
over the right or the National Front.
Do you know what it's called?
What?
That. Your theory.
It's relying totally on luck.
And that doesn't last for 5 years.
You want to govern?
You need a majority.
You want a majority?
You need to unite the left.
Therefore you're
for increasing the wage.
Vidal has a crazy programme.
He represents something.
He is respected. Vidal is a compass.
In the end, it is that compass
that designate left and right.
It looks like total improvisation.
You have to do it well and you will.
You have to siphon Vidal,
mobilise the abstainers.
Did you talk to Vidal?
Yes, earlier. The door's not closed.
But most of his guys would rather
take a freight train up the arse
than agree with you.
So we have to be faster than them.
And, this?
I thought that if you paid bail...
I need a bit of cash,
it's a matter of days.
We're going to appeal
and finish gathering funds.
Albi is going to be a nice meeting.
I haven't promised
you anything, Philippe.
Did I say you had?
We're talking, that's all.
After all, you and I, we're only
allowed to talk, aren't we?
Hi, Daddy
So, how is it in London?
Are you getting used to it?
The fog? And all the rain?
In Dunkirk, I was always
wearing sunscreen, so...
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What is that noise?
Nothing.
Hang on.
I'll call you back, Salomé.
Yes, hello?
Mr. Philippe Rickwaert? Anneville
penitentiary surveillance centre.
We've lost your signal.
Where are you?
I am at my place. The apartment
that I put in my file.
The GPS of your phone confirms
your location.
I'll deactivate the alarm.
Good night, sir.
Yes, good night, thank you.
So, this number, you have an idea?
Every winnable constituency leads to
harsh talks with the socialists.
Amélie, how many centrist
deputies can you guarantee?
If I give you a number, you'll
immediately add 20 to 30%.
Really? Why would I do that?
That's what you learn
In business school, isn't it?
Except I never went
to business school.
That's not what I read.
I signed up, but
when I took-my A-levels I was already
earning twice as much as my dad.
Thank you.
You can see why I am a bit
wary of your business skills.
Business skills is not
like selling carpets.
And agreeing on a number
is not that exciting, believe me.
The strength in business,
like in politics,
is ideas. Consumers,
citizens, all people are the same.
They want freshness. You, me.
40.
OK, that's a deal.
What, really?
But, is that what you expected?
No, I was expecting a bit more,
of course,
but a switch of alliances of
socialists towards centrists?
That's never been seen before.
When we announce it and you
are elected. everything will explode.
If there's not a total trust
between you and me,
we'll be smashed to bits.
We're working here. I like it.
- Hi, Cyril
- Hi.
You see?
I see what?
I've been telling you all along.
58, you're going to be an MP.
What is on the board there, Toph?
- The results of the first round.
- First round of what?
- The presidentials
- And I am a candidate of what?
The general elections, but...
The presidentials are not the general
elections. It's not the same.
Amélie can very well be president
without a majority.
If Laugier hadn't dissolved
the Assembly when resigning,
we wouldn't be here.
Laugier would have a majority.
Look,
See the left-wing. 21.7% for Amélie,
okay, 12.8% for Vidal.
That's 37.5%
-Okay.
-Now for the right.
20.9% for the republicans,
12.1% for the centrists.
and 4.2% for Loiseau.
-How much is that?
-It's...
It's 37.2%.
37.5 and 37.2, it's the same.
Also, Thorigny has urged
for votes for Amélie.
Yes, against the NF,
but in the general election,
the centrists will stick with
their team, on the right.
Against the right, I'll get thrashed.
In a triangular against the NF,
and the right is ahead, people will
follow to obstruct the NF.
And if it's a quadrangular,
with the left of the left,
If Vidal's guy holds on,
I'll be winged.
Yeah, it's not what it
used to be, Toph.
There's no more left and right,
you understand?
Mr. Son of a Bitch.
-Please, Philippe.
-No. I'm Mr. Rickwaert.
"Philippe" was when you
wanted me to sell myself for you.
May I come in? It's really important.
Please do sit down,
Mr. Son of a Bitch.
If I had wanted it,
you wouldn't be here today.
I had a grip on the judge.
He was ready to charge you
for incitation to suicide.
But you had second thoughts. Deep
inside, even from the right, Boudard,
You have a heart like this.
Or you thought, Auzanet was
such a loser during the campaign,
let's not insult the future.
Amélie was great, no?
She managed to rally all the leaders
while affirming her identity,
she made the most of the divisions
in the right-wing.
She is exceptional. We're agreed.
I'm a Gaullist, Philippe.
I want to see the NF swept away.
At night, I dream that I hit
Chalon with my car,
and that he's begging me
to take him to the hospital.
But I speed up and I run him over.
And you know what?
I have a boner when I wake up.
It mustn't be close
in the second round.
The Republic must clearly impose
herself.
Mr. Son of a Bitch is a good talker.
And?
Auzanet can't handle the defeat.
He knows he fucked up.
His ego is down his socks,
he can't think properly.
He's hesitant to support Amélie?
For a guy badmouthing neither-nors.
With a frank and powerful support
from the right of Auzanet,
Amélie can climb to 60%.
And? What do we get?
There's no bonus.
It sounds very UMPS.
It's very dangerous.
You and I
never played with the Front.
Amélie must call Jean-Marc.
-Only she can please his dick.
-What if he explains what she did?
-She'll look like a pussy.
-He won't tell
He won't talk.
With his backing, he'll want her
to get the best score possible.
He is depressed, but not yet moronic.
On that, I'm going to have trouble
believing your word.
Excuse me if I don't show you out.
11 days.
We can't do any better?
Nope. It's the legal cooling off
period. Can't do anything.
On the 11th day, I'll have the cash?
No, the 12th. It takes time to do the
withdrawal to the legal authority.
How do I remove my tag?
You know what a pain it is?
Listen, I didn't choose
to put your bail at 60,000 euros.
What if we forget about the mortgage?
You just make me a loan.
5%, you don't need to
sit on my house.
Your house in Dunkirk
is our guarantee.
Have you seen my accounts?
I have always budgeted like a clerk.
As soon as a customer says something
that doesn't add up, you clam up.
Icy stare.
What is it? Special technique?
Is there training? Seminars?
Powerpoint presentation?
Big disassociation between
the eyes and the smile. Very good.
Of course there is fucking training!
So, how are we doing this,
Mr Rickwaert?
First, I'm going to learn your trick.
Have you thought about your
daughter's ownership saving scheme.
Have you seen the opening date?
-1999. Salomé's birth year.
-Yes. So...
You know, regarding the money
I mentioned...
Why, "at the moment"?
What's happening?
You have your company, your flat,
your boat, your cabin?
I just want to understand the concept
of "at the moment".
Not at all. I know that if you could,
you would help me.
I know you're a good guy.
You're not a son of a bitch.
-I'm glad.
-Very glad.
Come tell me what you've been up to.
Tell me about your constituency.
A lot of complicated cases.
The treasury of Melisey,
the Hermes factory in Hericourt,
We give you a nice, left-wing
constituency and you're complaining?
Simply airdropped in.
My dad grew up in Haute-Saone.
He loved this place.
This changes everything,
it's virtually your birthplace, then!
All right, all right.
It's important to come back
to your people.
The taste of the real, the essential,
nature, camping, frankfurters...
Exactly.
Be careful, Cyril. People don't like
airdrop guys too much.
Precisely.
What do I do in a triangular,
with the NF at 32%,
if Amélie doesn't unite the left?
-She needs to step towards Vidal.
-Tomorrow, in Albi.
Why, did you see her?
As soon as I got out.
You don't change a winning team.
I never managed to bring Laugier
into the union of the left
Because he hates Vidal.
But with Amélie, though she's
farther right, I'll succeed.
20 years of political combat!
Until then, you hide your parachute,
and plough your field.
I was thinking of taking
one of your ideas.
You know, the written note
under every door to say I came by.
-That's an old thing. Who told you?
-Vero
Good, you're talking
to each other again.
A little, yeah.
Why doesn't she call me?
It's hurtful.
Since I got out, I've had 20,000
texts. I see you, I spoke to Amélie,
But her, nothing.
I don't have scabies!
20 years of friendship!
I could take this the wrong way.
She's afraid you'll dump her.
It's normal
No, it's not normal.
It's twisted, yeah.
I don't like twisted things.
She knows me.
I get angry fast,
but I don't hold grudges.
Am I holding grudges??
Okay, I'll talk to her,
but you guarantee me, no hassle.
About schools, we should add
a line about teachers.
-It worked well in Besancon.
-No thanks, it'll be okay
Sure? Internationally we can...
I need to be alone.
How is my candidate?
I'm okay, thank you.
Thanks again for the other night.
It's helped me a lot.
But I've been thinking.
I don't want to change my line.
I keep the indexation of minimum wage
on inflation. No 10%.
Amélie, you can't let Vidal down.
That's a fuck-up.
These guys are very radicalised.
For the general elections
we'll get bad reports, so...
I've decided, Philippe.
With whom?
What do you mean, "with whom?"
With whom did you decide?
With myself. Stop already.
Amélie, it's a mistake. Going right
will cost points at the elections.
We'll talk again soon.
I have to be on stage in 10 minutes.
Kisses.
Here she comes.
We're supposed to be
very happy to meet. Okay?
Agreed?
You okay?
I'm happy we're all together but...
I have a bit of a situation.
You have to tell me, Vero,
Who's advising Amélie?
Dammit, Philippe. What the hell?
Who's she really listening to?
It's a trap. Listen, I'm sorry, Vero.
Let go, Cyril, it's all right.
Vero
Who is Amélie talking to?
-I don't know. Almost everyone...
-Dammit, Vero.
You know her. I'm not fibbing.
That sucks. I had her under control.
We understood one...
All right, let's calm down,
sit down, have a coffee.
Three coffees, please. Come, Vero.
-Were you with her yesterday morning?
-Yes. And?
With who?
Dupraz.
Kalhenberg.
Mirmont?
No, listen. What's the matter?
Albi, dammit, Vero.
Not a single move toward Vidal!
You know how I'll fare in
a triangular
without a united left?
In bloody tatters.
We're supposed to be
very happy to meet.
And Cyril, you're not alone.
There are 577 constituencies,
remember.
The higher Amélie is In
the second round,
the higher our candidates
will do in the election. No worries.
That's what I want to know.
Who put that bullshit in her head?
Mirmont. It's the socialist right
brainwashing her. Full steam right.
Her French fucking Bad-Godesberg.
-Philippe, stop.
Listen, there's nothing between them.
It's cold.
It could be a play
to confuse everyone.
Wait, it's me you're confusing.
Philippe, you have to trust her.
You were right about Laugier.
Now listen to me about Amélie.
-She is the candidate.
Thanks to who? I did time for her.
Listen, I have all
the flaws in the world.
But about political trends,
I'm the shit.
I feel that it's bad. If she doesn't
step to Vidal, she'll be president,
but she'll never have a majority.
The best is if Auzanet doesn't
back her.
-A nice neither-nor
-Against the NF, every vote matters.
For the last time, we've already won
presidential election. Fuck the NF.
Vero, if Auzanet backs her up,
we'll never get Vidal's support.
-Never
-So, no Auzanet backup. Right?
That's enough, the two of you,
All right?
Listen to me. I work every day
with Amélie.
So I can tell you, she knows
where she is going. Okay?
Wait. She knows where she's going?
-Yes
-And she's hearing voices?
We don't want Joan of Arc. We want
the guy she saved. King Charles VII.
She mustn't get the wrong reference.
I'm Joan of Arc in this story.
-Hello. Philippe?
-Boudard, it's okay.
What do you mean?
I just spoke to Amélie. Tell Auzanet
she'll ring him tomorrow morning
She'll suck his dick the right way,
you see.
That's great.
-Listen Philippe...
-Gotta go.
Yes, David, I understand.
It's getting late.
Yes, no, we'll do that tomorrow,
okay ? First thing in the morning.
I promise you. Thanks
See you tomorrow. Bye.
Thank you Jean-Marc. Good night.
Walking is not bad.
So, I'm calling Philippe back.
No
You see, Francois,
last night, when you said Dorendeu
would call me, I was patronising,
But the truth is, I really wanted it.
A little softness
In this world of brutes,
That's what I thought.
I'm such a twat.
-Jean-Marc
-What a massive tosser!
-Jean-Marc...
No, enough! Stop!
No, you stop!
- It's over, Jean-Marc.
We lost by a little, but she won.
We have to accept it.
The only question now
is how you are going to exit.
What mark do you want to leave?
What legacy?
A shameful neither-nor?
We might as well glorify those
willing to ally with the NF.
All those who back stabbed you in
the campaign and made us lose.
Just a little phone call.
What did it cost to her?
What did it cost?
She wants to win alone. Without you.
-Not to owe us anything, afterwards.
-Bitch
It doesn't depend on her. Just call
against the NF so it doesn't happen.
Rickwaert is behind all this.
Without your support,
Dorendeu goes left,
the she can ally with Vidal
for the elections.
Fuck her right up, Jean-Marc.
Fuck.
Put it under cold water quick.
Is it burning?
-You okay?
-Yeah.
What's going on?
"I am Joan of Arc."
It'll stick with me for a while.
Definitely
Your boss needs to replace
the machine.
-Well,that.
-There's no "well, that".
Joan of Arc whispered that to me.
Mr Auzanet!
Look how a former President
ends up so abject.
Unable to overcome his pride.
He didn't even call against the NF.
I'm gonna vote,
and not for Mr Chalon so...
You're not calling to vote
for Amélie Dorendeu?
Let me finish.
I won't vote for Mr Chalon,
so I'll vote fer Amélie Dorendeu.
You thought this through...
Joan of Arc is not great, there.
I have been President...
Are you okay?
For 5 years.
I don't know
if Mrs Dorendeu will do well.
I have serious doubts about it,
But I know one thing ..
Yeah, I'm okay.
...Mr Chalon would harm
the French market...
Against the extremes, said
unfortunate' candidate, J-M Auzanet,
calling-the republicans
not to-vote Chalon.
Socialist candidate Amélie Dorendeu
gave her green transition programme.
I could take on both of them
at the debate", mocked L. Chalon...
D. Kalhenberg insisted on European
revival, proposed by A. Dorendeu...
Student march in Paris today
against the NF...
Two days before the between-round
debate, the gap is closing...
Since at least four polls
confirm the same trend,
the socialist candidate has lost
three points to Chalon
With 53 , of voters, Dorendeu remains
ahead, but the decay is worrying,
as the dynamic seems
to have changed teams,
proven by a viral video with millions
of views In a few days,
that ridiculed Dorendeu and Auzanet,
as if they were twins...
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
I will lower our deficit.
! will control the debt.
In a word,
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
Not because Brussels asks for it
but because it is
the condition of our sovereignty,
the condition of our sovereignty.
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
I see the importance of the budget.
The importance of the budget.
CHALON NOW
Chalon for President
I keep saying,
make the polls lie.
Make them lie, big time.
Make them lie by giving me
a big victory, my friends.
A massive victory...
To prevent all questioning
of the result.
Because I know that the loser
will be tempted to do so.
Patriots of France, and overseas,
gobsmacked by
the inability of the state
to protect you from the assault
of the Muslim caliphate
and it's fifth pillar.
To all of you,
no matter your race,
your religion, your social condition,
it is a man of the people
who is telling you,
enter this new France.
that I want strong...
Don't be oblivious.
You know we're on course to crash.
Oblivious?
His backing her was a disaster.
One day has put you in this state?
...clearly radical.
Hello
Hello Amélie.
We were talking about the polls.
We lost three points in three days.
We have to steer left
Of course, steer left! Beautiful!
Philippe, Check out this poll
I got a ticket, steer left.
My wife is cheating, steer left.
My wife Is cheating?
Sexism is not improving.
Neither is the Marxist superego.
Can you stop with cliches, please?
On both sides thank you.
Talking about cliches,
you could have avoided them for BFM.
What about it?
Since when are socialists proud to
have an IMF-approved programme?
Daniel was talking about R. Ferr
and C. Hoffler, the economists
for the IMF.
Not about the institution.
Meanwhile, the people's opinion
is the same as for the twins video.
Let's stop bickering.
Let's not panic. It's temporary
An internet effect impairs the curve
only a short time.
Chalon at 51?
It's impossible. Who is it?
Erasme?
Never mind, it's a young institute
trying to generate buzz to get known.
Maybe they're giving raw numbers
precisely because they're young.
What is their sample?
10,000.
10,000?
The three polls they're arguing about
downstairs, only 1,000.
Handle them without me, please.
I'm 100% on the debate
I only have 48 hours left to prepare,
and it all comes down to that.
Okay.
These losses to the left
are terrible.
I need to get Vidal back.
Every vote will count
Michel Vidal?
The guy who said
"We have to beat Liberalism?
before it causes as many deaths
as Stalinism or Nazism"?
Stéphane, to govern together,
we have to beat Chalon first.
"First". The magic word that allows
you to do anything or nothing.
Which is often the same.
Before being a candidate against
Auzanet, did I say "first"?
Before calling to vote for you on
Sunday night, did I say "first"?
I guarantee you that nothing
we discuss will be challenged.
I'd be surprised! What's your plan?
Constituent assembly? Revoke the
elected? Break the European treaties?
Helping myself out,
by raising minimum wage
and welfare by 10%.
There you go.
My commitment is based on sincerity,
and you want me to join
your between-round improv
ruining the country.
Ruining? Let's not exaggerate.
We can still blend.
"Blend"? I hate that.
You might as well join
the Socialist head office.
Stéphane, I'm sure that
we are able to overcome this.
Able? Yes. I am able of a lot, yes.
I am able to have the centre govern
with your left,
serious, modern, concrete.
Since only this alliance can protect
this country from dangerous extremes.
I am able to make concessions.
I have made some.
But with concrete budgets.
Trust between the governments and
taxpayers is based on this.
I am able to lose dear friends
that might turn their back on me.
They'll call me a traitor,
I know it, I accept it.
But 10% on minimum wage
and welfare? No! It's too much!
It's too much. That kind of promise.
I'll tell you what it reminds me of?
A bad remake of the night
of the 4th of August.
Just cheaper, and tinier.
We want to help people,
and we do it by sinking companies
when they are the ones hiring.
This is clowning around. Theatre.
The country needs seriousness,
expertise, temperance, balance.
Helping yourself out?
Absolutely necessary, of course.
But we apply what we had agreed on.
We put the country to work,
we reform.
Flexibility on one side,
security on the other.
We gather the social partners,
we trust them.
They do propositions, we supervise
with the law. The assembly votes,
there you go. Efficiency. Legitimacy
No monkey business.
Anneville penitentiary
surveillance centre.
We've lost your signal.
Where are you?
Up your arse.
Do you have a pen?
Here, for the bail.
Well done!
You'll be unchained, Spartacus.
How did you do that?
I'm going to write a book.
The editors are excited.
I got a nice advance.
What's in the book?
A bit of everything, in my own way.
A bit of everything", no.
"In your own way", no.
A big print run,
If it helps you pay my fees, yes.
It's important that magistrates
can read it and see that you're
consumed by the gravity of your acts
and will never do politics again.
Do I announce my suicide
in the preface or postface?
Philippe, we want the guys
to feel powerful.
If you flagellate yourself
at their feet,
they will be merciful.
Trust me, I know them.
You can't ask me that.
In a few years,
everyone will have forgotten.
You will write another book
explaining your return to politics.
A second bestseller.
In ten years?
Philippe, do you have a choice?
Not to die?
Can we see each other?
When?
This evening.
You look beaten up.
Vidal, minimum wage,
welfare, I'm ready.
You have to help me make it happen.
I never thought I'd say this
to you but...
At this point, you mustn't do that.
It would be a huge tactical mistake.
I mustn't unite the left.
For the general election,
of course you must,
the problem now isn't the election,
It's beating Chalon on Sunday.
I'm losing points to the left.
If you go after them,
you'll lose them to the right.
Especially to everyone else. Because
you'll gun down your presidentiality.
What would we see in you?
A scared woman.
She abandons her programme when
scared. A panicking president?
And for the next terrorist attack?
You'll panic then, too?
You should've gone left
when you were high.
Now that you are low, it shows fear.
And what do I do?
The barrier against the NF?
That's what Auzanet did, that's when
the curve started to switch.
The UMPS.
So you do a triangular.
With the National Front?
So what?
You use their themes.
You do a triangular.
Chalon is not embarrassed, talking
about Jaures every 10 minutes.
So, what? Islam,
identity, burkini?
We start all over? That's the trap
that took me a month to get out of.
Yes, and it was good.
You have credit.
The right did the triangulation,
when you see the result.
Apart from making the NF bigger...
They do it like brutes
The triangular means using their
themes, not adopting their theories.
No, I can't. This is not me.
If you want to become President,
you must do a lot that isn't you.
You can attack him on everything.
If you beat him on Daesh,
you've won.
Excuse me?
Don't call him a Nazi, call him an
Islamist. They want the NF to win.
On Monday, the FAF far-righters
will start getting wild.
Licence to Kill.
Chalon will act like a scared virgin,
it'll be chaos.
Civil war.
Racist incidents, reprisal, riots,
burned mosques, re-riots,
attacks, lynching.
And his irrefutable answer,
an NF authoritarian state.
Erdogan at the Élysée.
But that's crazy, I can't attack on
a fictional political scenario.
But you can rip off his mask of
a perfect son-in-law.
We can't compare racist reactionaries
and guys with assault rifles.
You can't say it like that,
but that's your message.
How?
The debate is tomorrow.
How?
"How?" You have to work, Amélie.
How much time do you have?
All night
HAUTE-SAONE
2nd constituency
Chalon has four kids. He will
inevitably attack you on that.
No, too sexist. He's already
behind with the women.
What if he attacks
my relationship with you?
You and I, it never existed. Never.
There are photos.
We can't see anything.
Impossible to prove.
Anyway, you deny it all.
You kill him nicely.
It's an open bar.
But I don't think he'll come to that.
Lots of people think you're a lesbo.
Excuse me?
Have you never Googled your name?
Wait, do you have signal?
Yeah.
Give it to me.
First, you have A. Dorendeu Jewish.
That's normal. I used to have that
too. Now, I have Rickwaert jail.
I preferred the kippur.
What else do I have?
A. Dorendeu lesbian, then socialist,
then hot.
Hot?
Yeah, 12,000 screenshots
of your interview last month.
You know your skimpy white blouse?
Yeah.
We can see a bra strap.
My co-convicts thank you.
It is arousing, but very high-end,
It's a change from YouPorn.
I'm sorry for earlier. You gonna win.
Call me soon.
Again?
Europe and migration.
My position is clear,
and has never changed.
France will take part
in the EU established agreements.
It's way too much.
Some think it's not enough.
Like Stéphane Thorigny...
The centrist candidate suggested that
France get closer
to Germany's position
but this is not my choice.
But Stéphane Thorigny is backing you
up, isn't he?
Our programmes are not the same.
Far from it.
So how will you govern with him?
Can you explain that?
Your phone there.
I just read your texts.
Are you doing business with him?
Since when?
Several weeks.
Why didn't you tell me?
What are you afraid of?
Of you.
You wouldn't have understood
or given me a break.
So you lie to me?
Dammit, Philippe, not now, please.
Tell me what you're doing
with those right wingers.
Even at 5 a.m the day before
the debate, you're harassing me?
You do it all wrong.
You're gonna break the left.
You'll never have the major...
What I want is to save France
from immobilism.
Immobilism? What is immobilism?
The right to work?
Social protection...
Yeah, I'm an evil right winger.
You're aware that by doing that,
we can't work together?
It depends on you
Bashing the poor people, I can't.
Wait, One thing.
Why did you come to see me?
Be honest, at least one.
A bit of respect.
Because you are like Chalon.
Ultraviolent, transgressive,
aggressive and without limits.
That is what I needed for tomorrow.
The National Front at the Élysée?
"Bankruptcy", "failure,"
"Shame"."Dishonour".
so chanted the catastrophists
all week.
claiming the holy "morals"
even though for 30 years,
they have, you have
chosen money over people.
Stats over life,
and the empire of the one thought,
which made you blind, or worse,
that is, the vital threat of
Islamic fundamentalism,
from Arabic deserts
to our destroyed cities.
And it's us, the patriots,
who are the danger?
They predict the catastrophe
but it is their fear that is talking.
Fear of losing their privileges.
Frenchmen. Women.
My dear compatriots, this fear is
theirs. Great people of France,
for you, hope is back.
Give me your strength
Your strength of united people.
Of courageous people.
Victory is here.
Grab it.
Long live the Republic.
Long live France.
Thank you, Mr. Chalon.
Mrs Dorendeu, your conclusion.
Thanks.
To conclude the debate
they say not only to answer,
but to talk to the French people.
Yet, Mr. Chalon, I want to
answer you, and I will.
You claim to love France,
But in reality,
you've already left it.
Because tonight,
you kept on discrediting it
demeaning it, denigrating it.
And the worst part
Is that you are abandoning it
when our non-religious republic
is in the heart of an ideological war
against an enemy
claiming to slaughter us,
Radical Islamism.
I now want to address all
the followers of that ideology,
that I want to address,
In the name of every one of us.
To you Jihadists who try to enrol
the youth of France
into fanaticism and violence.
Preachers of death, your medieval
philosophy doesn't scare us.
Look at France.
Look at the French people.
We are not afraid. Mr. Chalon,
You were talking about fear, as well.
Fear? Look at my hands.
They don't shake. Look at my head.
It is held high.
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid of being a woman.
Single and without kids,
even if France has never had
a female President.
I'm not afraid of being progressist.
I'm not afraid of being a republican.
I am not afraid of you.
Because the French people driven
by their generous hearts
and their hope of togetherness
will go with a firm hand
and heads held high
to vote for the republican homeland.
My dear compatriots,
On Sunday we will live
one of these republican moments
that make our history so great.
One of these moments when we say,
long live democracy.
Long live the great laws
about education,
secularity, right of strike,
long live the right of work,
social progress,
the emancipation of women,
Long live the Republic.
Long live France.
Philippe, this is Michel Vidal.
You won.
Your Amélie, I liked what
I saw and heard tonight.
My daughter said,
this woman's a warrior...
My son said, "I like her war".
Tomorrow morning,
I'm doing a press conference
to explain my backing.
I'll call you back.
Great. We wanted estimation.
56.
What is this?
52.4.
Who's your contact there?
52.4.
He's going to get beaten up.
First hundred, or exit.
Wait, we don't have the right number.
So, it's 06.
07 80 27
Yeah.
...38.
It's rather good. Yeah, great.
Ipsos?
Thank you. 52.7.
52.9 for BVA.
Odoxa, Viavoice, Sofres,
nothing under 52.
And the small one, Erasme?
Do you have it?
Wait, I've seen a window. Earlier.
Does someone have Erasme?
You have something?
53.2.
Amélie,
you won.
You're the first female
President of the Republic.
DUNKIRK
PASCAL CARTHAUD
