Turn off the music please.

I'm great. How are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
Nice to see you, and Eva, right?
Eva?
- Eva.

- Eva.
Eva, yeah, we met a couple
of time, but we never spoke.
- Yeah, well-
- Come on.
Hopefully, we will catch up later, right?
Hey, what happened with that other guy?
Did he forget to flush the toilet or what?
Nah, just forget about it.
- Flush the toilet.
- Enjoy, enjoying the drinks?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, delicious.
- Yeah?
- Thank you, yeah.
Okay, do you need anything else?
Yeah, do you have a second to
- Um.

Not now, man, but, uh, I,
I'm coming back shortly, okay?
I haven't forget you,
okay?
- All right, man, okay.
Henri.
Fuck...
You pissed me off man.
You'll get me in trouble with your sister.
Is it my fault, again?
Where is he?
What did you do to him?
I got rid of him.
- You got rid of him?
- What?
- That's it?
- Yeah...
No, I want you to find the son of a bitch
and beat the shit out of him.
I don't want him to tell any story.
You hear me?
Oh fuck...
I forgot my appointment with this asshole.
- Gabriel!
- My dear Alexandre!
Henri!
We've to talk when you come back.
Excuse me.
- How are you? All good?
- And you?
- Glad to see you.
- Me too.
- Sorry... Good Night. Alex.
- Irene.
Nice to meet you.
So... Tell me.
I want to speak to you
about my... the budget increase
that I told you about.
Alright.
Excuse me but...
She'll be following us around for long?
- I told you that we'd talk in private.
- Yes I got it.
- Just a moment?
- Sure.
Thanks.
- So... Soon the D Day?
- Yeah.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
- When does filming start?
- In 2 months.
Two months. Fuck... It'll come quickly.
- Are you ready, bastard?
- Yes totally.
You'd better be.
I can't wait. Can't wait!
It'll be fun.
I didn't get it, explain it to me.
Why do you need this much?
Listen... I've changed the script...
the end of the script.
- The end of the script?
- Yeah...
Again?
And who is she?
I wanted to introduce her to you
she'll be the lead actress of the film.
Oh fuck! Gabriel!
Why are you doing this to me?
I was... ah!
I was sure about it.
Why?
We never saw her face anywhere.
Nobody knows her.
Why are you casting a nobody?
Listen, I need to refresh myself...
To renew myself.
But, we cast three stars
in the supporting roles.
Nothing is decided yet.
She is still doing screen tests.
- Screen tests?
- Yeah.
You want to fuck her?
I know you and know what it means...
when you do this... with your lips.
And... don't try to stick it to me!
I'm worse than you.
Gabriel... Actually the extra budget
will pay for your fantasies?
- Oh no...
- Oh no. Ah... Oh no.
Holy fuck... It's incredible.
You are all the same.
You do this job to fuck women,
that you can never get in real life.
You're all pathetic.
Anyway... I don't give a fuck.
I've read your budget estimate.
What you're asking for, is unreasonable.
I found a great film location, the
extra budget is also for the equipment...
Alright, alright...
But it's not worth 100 thousand.
So, you'll work on your budget estimate.
- Alright?
- Ok.
You'll then send it back, and
if I like it I'll may be sort it out...
- Ok?
- Alright, Alex.
When you listen to me,
you work well, asshole...
I read you last script version,
this... is good!
- You like it?
- Yes, there is something.
But, I'm sorry...
For how long have we been speaking,
about your movie's beginning?
How many times I told you?
Nothing is happening... It's flat!
We're bored to death.
You've to... It's the
beginning of your film.
You've to grab the viewers' guts.
Something must happen
to make us want to fucking watch it!
Not sure if it'll fit my film's subject.
And what subject, Gabriel?
What subject?
You're doing a bullshit philosophical film.
It's only some intellectual masturbation.
You're not saving lives.
Alright? It's cinema, no big deal!
Fucking free yourself!
Irene! Excuse me...
Come here please.
Sorry, we don't know each others.
But, I was explaining
to this gentleman here
that being an artist is being free.
You hear me?
Free!
That's the right word!
Ok?
And life is a game.
You've to take risks and make sacrifices.
And that goes for Cinema too.
"The Cinema is a magnificent
and dangerous weapon
when in the hands of a free spirit"
Luis Bunuel.
Yes, exactly.
And Prevert added...
"It's not only my voice that sings,
but other voices, lots of voices
from the present and the past"
- Magnificent!
- You see what I mean?
Does it feel like you're at the theater?
- Now something is happening...
- Better... it's Cinema. Awesome!
Watch out. I'll soon take your place.
You laugh... but you never know.
And you're lucky because next time,
I'll charge for this show, you bastard!
- Come on, I'll buy you a drink!
- It's worth it.
- So you can tell me more about you?
- Ok.
Freedom, Gabriel!
- Freedom.
- I'm in the here and now.
Stop with your Buddhist bullshit.
- Me again.
- What's up?
Good evening Julie.
- Me again. - What's up?
Guys, guys, guys.
Good evening Julie.
Let me introduce you to
a very good friend of mine,
a terrific director, Gabriel Dreyer.
Hello.
Good evening! Evening!
- Hello.
Good evening! Evening!
Allow me to introduce my actress.
Great actress...
So what do you drink?
A glass of red wine, the usual.
Same, please.
- Ok, have a seat there at the table.
- Thanks.
I'm coming.
All good?
You want something?
No thanks. I won't be long.
I'm leaving.
So...
Miss... Irene!
Where did you cast her?
I saw her in a Chekhov's play.
She was wonderful.
And she had naturally something,
that I need to have in my main character.
So right after the play,
I suggested that she audition.
Alright.
And... How long have you been an actress?
Almost 5 years. I went to drama school...
Wait... Sorry Irene.
I stop you right there.
I don't care,
you went to such-and-such school...
It doesn't matter to me,
what matters is what did you play in?
Classical and modern theater,
commercials, short films...
I saw some of her work.
Magnificent. She's very charismatic.
- Sublime.
- Thanks.
I don't doubt it.
And... No cinema?
No, but it'll be with Gabriel,
my first feature film.
- Hopefully...
- Alright.
And how do you feel?
Very good.
Really?
Up to it?
I hope so.
Ok...
Where are we at with the screen tests?
Listen... we're about halfway of the film.
Can I watch anything?
Of course.
- Yes.
- Yeah...
And when?
Give me a week,
and I'll edit for you a nice video.
Alright... Ok.
And I will show you that.
For once, you want to get it right...
And how do you feel?
Ready.
Yeah?
Yes.
All the way?
Always.
You should be. It's the lead role.
I know.
It's no longer small theaters,
or short films.
- I'm pretty aware of it.
- It's serious.
I'm ready.
I'm counting on you.
If he tells me you are up to it, so...
See?
Wait... Excuse me, sorry.
Ok.
Thanks.
- You need something else?
- No, we're good. Thanks.
- Are you fine?
- Yes, thanks.
You'll be playing in his next movie?
Yes... I hope so.
Yes, if all goes well.
She is screen testing for the lead role.
It's no small thing.
How is it going?
Very well.
Ok.
What's this movie about?
I won't be late. I'm coming.
I can't say... I don't know.
You want to know?
Yes, it's the story...
Ok, later then.
Henri.
Stop.
Why do I have a hole in my wall?
Why are you asking me?
Ask your old man!
Don't give me that shit.
You know... all you crazy shit
and dark stuff. All this!
You'll do it without me.
I'll start my business, by myself. Ok?
And how are you going to do it alone?
I'll sort it out.
Alright. Sort it out! I don't care.
Wait...
- Are you ok?
- Yes.
Does it hurt?
It's ok.
It's not broken?
I've always protected you.
It's crazy, blood ties...
Remember when you were a kid...
You used to fight all the time.
And I was stopping you.
But you were doing it before.
Now... you're doing the exact opposite.
Fucking shit!
Hey... What's going on?
Why tonight?
What're you talking about?
Henri!
Henri... What?
He smashed the wall.
It's not Henri who smashed your wall.
It's that asshole.
And what did he do 'that asshole'?
Julie! Why are you so stressed?
You know that I have a plan for tonight!
All is under control. Ok?
You have to trust me, Julie.
Was it good with your whore downstairs?
She fucked you well?
Get out!
Excuse me.
- Gabriel. Are you staying a bit longer?
- Yes, of course.
- I'll see you when I get back?
- Ok, I'll wait.
- Alright?
- Yes.
And... Irene!
You'd better be as good as he says.
What were we talking about again?
About local agriculture...
Oh yes.
I'm wondering...
Really, I think it's crazy.
We European countries,
specially in France,
we're still importing fruit and vegetables,
from the other side of the world.
Even from far away, like Tierra del Fuego.
While we can be food self-sufficient.
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, totally... Totally.
And then destroying
destroying is all we do,
us here rich countries.
And all this to produce useless things.
Clearly, we need to change our behavior.
In fact, I'd say it's a behavior,
that needs to be imposed on every citizen.
In what way?
It's very simple.
The daily ecological constraints.
Let me explain.
We must change our consumption patterns,
in terms of food, clothing, heating,
and all means of transport.
And what about freedom or democracy?
There is no problem with
freedom and democracy.
It's enough to impose the constraints,
in a very gentle way.
And it'll pass.
Yes I see.
A sound ecological policy
will eradicate the inequalities,
that became really unacceptable.
Do you agree?
You're right. It's distressing.
That said...
We need to elect the right people...
I'll go to the bar, to charge my phone
and have some water. Ok?
- Alright.
- Later.
See you later, darling.
Yeah, that's it.
Excuse me.
Can I please charge my phone?
And a glass of water please?
Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Come on. Give it.
By the way, great bar!
I love the decoration.
- How is it going?
- All good.
Which wine is it?
- Excuse me?
- Oh, your wine is good?
The wine, yes, the wine is good.
- Yeah.
- Nice colour, which one is it?
It is red, pretty sure.
No, I'm kidding.
It's a Syrah from the Rhone region.
It's, um, it's full bodied.
It's, uh, it's well balanced.
It's a little peppery.
I highly recommend.
- Nice.
I gotta try it, I guess.
- You absolutely should.
Mm.
Julie, I will have a
top-off myself, please.
Yeah, sure.
Thank you very much.
So where are you from?
I mean, I got an idea, but.
Where do you think?
Well, I think you
look like an American star.
- Oh, thank you.
- Like that Brad Pitt type.
Oh.
Thank you very much, Angelina.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yeah, ding, ding, ding.
I am from the United States of America.
I love your country.
I was in New York
actually three months ago.
- Okay.
- Such an energy there.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I lived in New York for a
while, um, but I'm originally
from California, from Los Angeles, so
- Wow, LA.
- The West Coast.
Yeah.
I'm an actress and
- I heard.
- My dream is to live
there in LA 'cause, you know,
there's something magical
about Hollywood movies.
- Hmm.
- And, um, I remember
the very first movie I saw.
It was, like, a hero movie, you know?
And I was so fascinated
to see how this poor
and bullied little boy could become
this amazing hero, you know?
Gave me hope when I needed it
the most, and I told myself,
"One day I'm gonna be just like him."
- Hmm.
- And, uh, yeah.
Here I am trying.
- Here you are.
- Not that easy,
you know, but yeah.
- Oh, come on.
That is fantastic.
- Trying.
Thank you.
You gotta chase those dreams.
You gotta go for it.
- True.
- That's great.
- Yes.
- That's absolutely great.
What was the name of the movie?
- I can't remember.
- Mm.
I know. Shame on me.
My, my memory is terrible,
and it's not a good thing
for an actress, but, uh.
- It sounds like, uh,
the pig film.
What was the pig film called?
- Uh, "Babe"?
- I can't,
yeah, that's the one with the,
he's, like, bullied and
stuff, and he gets back to,
hey.
- Yeah, it's not, not that.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hola, mi amor.
- Hola.
- Hey.
- Ca va?
Ca va.
We were just chatting about, uh, wine.
Yes.
This is my wife.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Eva.
- Okay.
Anyway, enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
It was, uh, very nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you, too.
- Yeah.
Cheers.
Uh, have a nice evening.
- Yeah, you too.
- You too.
Oh, that poor girl is going
to die in Hollywood.
She's never gonna make it.
She's gonna get eaten like
a little fucking lamb.
Sad.
- Why are you,
she was checking you out.
She was not checking me out.
We were chatting
- Yes, she was.
- About wine and the US.
She wants to go to Hollywood.
She wants to, you know,
shoot for the stars.
- Mm, yeah, yeah, right.
- She's with her boyfriend,
by the way.
- Sugar daddy, maybe.
- Maybe a sugar daddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, perhaps.
I mean, look-
poor thing.
To be honest with you,
she could be my type, right?
She's, um, brunette, she's
petite, she's, um, you know
- Stop.
- Easy on the eye, you know.
- Stop it, stop it.
- You know what I'm saying?
Where were you?
You were gone forever.
I thought you abandoned me.
- Headed down-
- No, I was in the bathroom.
- Yeah, but forever.
- What, what's, no.
What's going on downstairs?
There's a weird atmosphere, weird lights.
Oh, the dungeon, yeah.
- The what?
- The dungeon.
It's Alex's office, yeah.
It's where all the,
the good stuff happens.
- You spend time there
with him or the others.
- Moi?
Me, down there?
- Jim.
Never, what kind of man
do you think I am?
- I don't believe you.
Oh.
- Ugh.
Scandalous.
- God.
I wouldn't dare go down there.
- Hey.
- Mm.
Let's get out of here.
What? Why?
Uh, this guy's not coming.
Are you okay?
Yes, but almost everyone left.
Is everything okay?
- Yes, everything's okay.
- Okay, well, then just relax.
He's coming back. You saw him.
He was here.
He said he's coming back.
Just enjoy this lovely Syrah
from the Rhone regions.
- Come on.
- It's well-balanced.
- The place is closed.
It's full-bodied.
This is what happens.
They close it.
- Almost everyone left.
I know.
They lock the doors.
It's, like, just the VIPs, the cool cats.
- Okay.
- Like you and me.
- Okay.
- The habitues is
what they call us.
Okay.
- I mean, we're basically-
- Hey, listen.
Waiting for the guy who owns the place.
We're fine.
Just relax.
Here, just a little sip, a little sip.
A walk, just walk?
I'll tell you what.
You wanna go for a walk?
Yes.
- I will go for a walk-
- Uh-huh.
If, it's a big if, if
I'm short some steps,
I'll go for a fucking walk, okay?
Drum roll, please, drum roll, drum roll.
You're not serious, come on.
- Bing, oh.
- Jim, let's go.
I am short some
serious fucking steps.
- Jim, come on.
- I could use a walk.
I'm at 1,325 steps, ugh.
You're done now?
I think a walk
is a great idea, Julie.
We will return.
- Jim.
Just going for a quick walk.
Call me in about 1200 steps, okay?
- Okay.
- You keep count.
All right, thanks.
- Okay.
- A walk, genius fucking plan.
I love it.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
- Where are we going?
- This way.
- This way?
- This way, yes.
- Are you sure
you don't want go that way?
No, no, no, no, no, come here.
Okay.
Well, this way it is.
Can we, um, can we skip step?
Can we
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Like this?
Oh, oh, oh.
- Pick up the pace a bit?
- You're hurting me.
- Or-
- Hey, no.
Jump, jump step.
Just get some
- Like this.
- Fresh air, okay?
Six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Stop.
All right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Oh.
- Oh, look
at this beautiful fucking night.
Yeah.
Oh, I love it when the city's all quiet.
It's like everyone's
- Me too.
- Disappeared,
except for the, that guy's
getting some steps in, too.
Fuck, yeah, baby.
- Yeah.
- I love this building.
- Beautiful.
Me too.
- I wanna buy
this fucking building.
- Yeah, right.
- Yeah, right.
- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, give me five years.
I'll buy you the whole fucking thing.
- Five years?
- Five years.
What do you think it costs, like, 25, 30?
Hmm, I don't know, but
I think in that case,
it will be me who will buy you
this one, two, three buildings.
- One, two, three?
- Yes.
Un, does tres?
- Un, dos tres.
- Wow.
- Yes.
- Okay, how 'bout we split it?
We go halfsies on it?
- Okay.
- Does that sound like a deal?
Yes.
- Okay.
- Deal, deal, deal.
We could, we could, we could
meet in that room for lunch
and then go to that
- Meet?
- Room for breakfast
and have our massages in that room.
Okay.
Does that sound like a good idea?
- Yes.
- Yeah?
- I like it.
- I love this.
- Uh-huh.
- This is a great idea,
this walk.
- I know.
- Walking is fantastic.
Yeah, you had a lot of wine.
Oh, I mean, it's not my fault
there's so much wine to
drink in this country.
Yeah.
- Okay.
- You're right, you're right.
Okay.
I love this place.
You know, I don't think
that I've ever actually been
into this, uh, park.
- Really?
- Yeah, I don't think I have.
Hmm, do you know its original name?
The original name
- Yes.
- Of the park?
Yeah, of course, it's
the very square square.
Place Royale.
- Place Royale with cheese.
- Yes.
It was made by Henry IV.
- Okay.
This was the place for
nobility to meet, to chat,
to talk about other people.
- Oh, fancy.
- Mm-hmm.
Until the revolution came,
and then they told-
Is this what you do
in the, uh, when you're, disappear,
you just go and
- God.
- Lock yourself
in the bathroom.
- Piss off, Jim.
And scroll through the history pages
- No.
- Like the little geek
that you are?
Is that what you do?
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
I'm just,
I'm jealous of that big brain of yours.
Okay.
- I know.
Let's go. Let's keep walking.
We got steps to do.
- Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim.
What?
What?
- There's something I need
to tell you.
- Okay.
- Okay.
You're breaking up with me?
No.
You're not breaking up me?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Hey.
- Listen to me.
- All right, let's go.
- Can you be serious?
- Tell me.
I can be totally
- Please, please, please.
- Fucking serious.
All right, it's important, okay?
- You want me to be serious?
- Yes.
Like, not one smile fucking serious
- Yes, you can smile-
- right?
And you can be serious at the same time.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I see.
So you're completely ready now, yeah?
Dead fucking serious.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- Okay, let's go.
- Bring it.
I'm fucking ready.
- Okay.
So, um, uh,
we've been together for
a while now, isn't it?
Yeah.
Happy together.
- Yeah, of course.
- Happy together?
Happy together, yeah.
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
So, um, I was think,
I was feeling, actually
- Whoa.

Fuck, wait a second.
What? What is it?
Ah, it's probably my mom.
She always gets the times wrong.
No.
- What is it?
It's work.
This late?
Fuck.
Yeah, I gotta take it.
All right, just give me one second.
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
Yeah, hello.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow the, fuck, slow the fuck down.
What's going on?
Are you fucking serious?
Fuck, okay, hang on.
Just gimme one second.
Let me get my laptop out.
Accesses to the Hong Kong exchange are
down since fucking when?
Fuck.
And you're telling me none of
the orders have been executed,
not a single fucking one?
Okay, hang on one second.
I'm gonna connect to the VPN.
I'm gonna check the market gateway, okay?
Hold on.
Come on, come on, come on.
- I don't see anything.
- What, what, what?
No, I don't-
Hey.

I'm sending you a security request.
I need you to grant me access, okay?
Okay.
Coming now.
Okay, come on, come on,

All right, done.
- All right, I'm in.
- Andrew's quite pissed, man.
He's harassing me.

He's calling me again.
Oh, it all looks
good for now.
- They have no clue
in Hong Kong what's going on, man.
Come on, come on, come on, motherfucker.
Lost at least $120,000
since market's opening.
- How much?
- $120,000, man.
Fuck.
- Okay.
- Jim?
Yeah.
We can get fired for this, you know.
Buddy, I'm doing my best.
Give me one minute.
Shit. We're fucked.
Give me one minute.
Give me one minute.
Okay.
Here, uh, go back.
- Where?
- Are you seeing anything?
- There, error messages.
- Yeah.
- Jim.
- Those error messages show
the ID gateway number.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, so go to the-
- Did you mute me, Jim?
Exchange's website
and go private.
- Are you here?
No, it's not the fucking ID.
This ID was working yesterday.
It hasn't been
- Jim, Jim

- Fuck, do it anyway.
- Jim, I see
Okay, all right, uh.
Hey, Fred.
- Yeah.
What is the ID number
that you're looking at on your end, okay?
- ID number?
- Just read me

- Go.
Right, 5T4FM6.
The wrong fucking number, dude.
- Really?
- For some reason,
we have the old number in our system.
I don't know how the fuck that happened.
Okay.
- All right.
Can you change it?
Give me a minute.
Updating the new number now.
Okay, change committed.
Need the security clearance.
Go.
- Okay.
Come on, come on, come

Come on, come on, come

All right, done.
Seems better.

Seems better now.

How's it looking over there?
Yeah, I think all is fine now.
Yes.

Thanks. Bye!

All right, bye, bye.
Whoo, you.
- Come on.
- You.
That was fucking amazing.
- Yeah, I know.
- How did you do that?
Come on, hurry up.
Let's go.
- How did you do that?
How did you do that?
Tell me how you, how you-
I'm smarter than you.
You are so much smarter than me.
- I know.
- Oh, my God.
That was genius.
Okay, the walk is cancel a do.
We are going back to the bar.
We are having drinks,
cocktails, whatever you want
on me, of course.
You just saved my ass.
I still need to talk to you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, talk to me.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Talk to me. What's up?
Talk to me.
- It's okay.
- Why are you acting weird?
- We'll talk
about it tomorrow.
We'll talk it about tomorrow, okay.
Are you sure?
- Yes.
- You're sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
I have an idea.
- What?
Let's go home.
I'm tired.
- Home?
- I'm really tired.
It's been a long day, okay?
- Okay, listen, listen.
Alex, 10 minutes, and then we go home.
- Really?
- 10 minutes, okay?
Fuck, Jim, you don't listen to me.
Of course, I listen to you.
I always listen to you.
I listen to you more than
anyone else in the world.
I'm just asking for 10
minutes, 10 minutes.
We can do a dance.
We can, um, have a couple
of drinks, you know,
just 10 minutes, and then we go home.
I'll order the ride, and we'll
be home in like, you know,
a half hour, and then we can
- Half an hour?
- Half an hour.
- Really?
- Well, you know,
whatever, depending on
traffic, and then we can,
or maybe we can just, you
know, just do it right here.
Hmm?
- Maybe.
- Hmm?
I've always wanted to have sex
in a dirty alleyway in Paris.
Haven't you?
- Hmm.
- Hmm?
No?
Not really, actually.
You, not really?
- No.
- Right now,
you're not turned on
by the smell of urine?
This doesn't turn you on?
- I think home is better.
- I think I'm stepping
on a poop right now.
That's, that's-
Yeah,
I'm sure of it.
- That's not sexy for you?
- Yeah, no.
- No?
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
- 10 minutes.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then we go home.
All right?
But I want you to-
10 minutes.
I want you to keep all those
- 10 minutes.
- Yeah, 10 minutes.
I promise.
- Okay.
I wanna keep all the sexy
thoughts in, right in there.
Okay?
- I will.
Don't lose a single one of those.
And then we will go straight home.
Promise me it'll be 10 minutes.
I, I promise you.
I, I cross my heart
If it's less
- And hope to die.
- Even better, okay,
as fast as you can.
- As fast as I can.
Of course, of course.
Of course.
- So when are you taking
these salsa lessons?
Because this is not possible, okay?
I, I mean,
I've been working on it.
I didn't, you know, they say 10 minutes
of practise.
- Jim, you suck.
I'm sorry.
Well, that's not encouraging.
Show me the moves. Go on.
You're, you're supposed
- How so?
- To guide me.
Just grab me by the waist and just lead me
like, uh, like I'm your,
you know, I'm your puppy.
Mm-hmm, you're a puppy.
I'll show you at home, okay?
Come on.
Is that, is that the, is that salsa?
That's not really salsa, is it?
It's something else.
No, that's not salsa.
What do they call that?
Um.
- Uh-
- Like, party music?
Party, party
- Party lover music?
- Fiesta music.
- It's closed.
- No, they closed it for the,
she just keeps it
closed after hours.
- Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah.
Hello.
- Hi,
- We're back.
Yes, we are.
Just had a little walk around the corner.
- Oh, good, cool.
- It's amazing.
- It was lovely.
- Yeah, yeah.
Could we trouble you for two shots
of your finest vodka top shelf,
the most expensive bottle?
Okay.
Julie, just one shot.
- Okay.
- I'll have some water please.
Thank you.
- Mm.
Water?
- Yes.
That shit will kill you.
No, I'm thirsty.
I need to hydrate.
I really can't
recommend it.
- You should, too.
I know that hydration is important,
and that's why doctors recommend vodka.
The same.
Yep, three shots a day
- Of course.
- Keeps your hydration levels
just where they need to be.
Proust, whatever they say, 'nasdrovia'?
I don't fucking know.
- Oh, Jim.
Stop.
Stop trying, please.
Hey, is Alex here yet?
No.
He's not?
No, but he will be back.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- He said he would be back.
- He will.
- I'm gonna check my phone.
- 10 minutes, yes.
He hasn't texted me yet,
but I'm gonna see where he is,
and I'm sure he'll be right back.
Julie, you're looking great.
Oh, thank you.
You too.
- Thank you.
You're nice.
- Okay.
Fuck.
Could I have another one of those please?
- Yeah.
- Thank you very much.
Okay, so you're thirsty?
- Very thirsty, yeah.
- Mm.
I see.
- I take my hydration
very seriously.
- I see.
I don't know if you do,
but you know, that shit
- Not as you, as well.
- It's really fundamental
to your health.
Ooh.
I need to go pee.
Thank you for the information.
- I'm gonna go do that.
- Mm-hmm.
You stay here.
Don't move.
- I won't.
- Just brush up
on your history, okay?
- Okay.
I wanna know all about Henry V.
Was he a guy?
Did he exist in-
Fourth.
No, I know, but I wanna
know about the next guy.
Okay.
So tell me about the next guy, okay?
I'll be right back, all right.
Here we go!
Ah Irene!
I was thinking about,
what I'd said to Alex earlier.
In particular...
We're halfway through the film.
I decided
to continue the screen tests.
- Ok.
- You were expecting it?
- Yes.
- Good.
I want you to understand
something very important.
What I'm suggesting,
is a psychological exploration.
You've got to dig deep inside yourself.
In order to find
the motives of this character.
Yes, I see.
It's my way of working too. So it's fine.
Beyond the character...
I think that we'll incorporate gradually,
elements from you past, from your private
and even intimate life.
In order to intensify the script.
Sure, I can tell you all about it.
We've already started...
Irene!
I'd like us
to go further.
Alright.
As you know, I'm really motivated
to play this role.
So... Just tell me.
Ok.
Alright.
See... This bar is very cinematic.
Sure.
I was wondering, seeing this workshop...
It gave me already the idea of a scene.
A couple who argue
then make up again.
Julie!
This light on you is so beautiful.
Thanks, Gabriel.
You bring us the same drinks.
Thanks.
Eva, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, and you?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm just tired.
It's been a long day.
Okay, you work tomorrow?
Yes, I do, and you?
Yeah, every day, every night.
Mm, oh, work at night is not easy.
I used to work in a bar before years ago,
and schedules are not the best,
drunk clients all the time.
It's kind of annoying.
I know it.
Maybe you can get some vacations?
Yeah, I, I wish I could, but
actually, it's not Alex type.
Huh, why?
He's a very active guy.
He needs to always be doing something.
I get it.
Yeah, I get it, but
maybe you can talk to him
and try to change his mind.
Yeah, maybe I will.
Thank you for the advice.
You're welcome.
And you can tell me
if something's wrong.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Okay, see you.
Thanks.
Thanks
You're welcome.
You speak Chinese now?
- Mandarin.
- Yeah...
We say 'Mandarin'.
Yes, I do speak it a little.
You know... I spent 3 months in China.
I shot a movie there.
Thanks to Alex by the way.
Oh yeah. "Spiral".
I watched that film.
Incredible.
Thanks.
What was incredible,
was filming there.
Extraordinary experience.
People are very hard-working.
They're... persistent, attentive,
caring and above all very disciplined.
- Yeah, I guess so.
- Really.
Do you like her?
Yeah.
I never tried with an Asian woman.
Why not?
That's not the one I like.
It's the other one.
Oh yeah, I talked to her earlier.
She's very pretty.
She's good. No?
You know... When we were talking,
I saw that she was looking at me.
I am going to talk to her.
She's here with her boyfriend.
Exactly.
Do you like the guy?
Yes, a lot.
Ok.
This pretty blonde man?
Actually, yes.
You propose to them?
Go!
You know?
Alex set up the basement,
for this kind of encounters.
He already invited me downstairs.
- Really?
- Yes.
You can propose to them.
Give me a signal and I'll join you.
Ok.
See you in a bit.
Julie! The wine is great!
Good evening!
Hello.
Mm, you don't speak French?
I just know a few words.
Um, I'm Chilean.
Mm, are you visiting Paris?
I live in Paris.
Nice, I wanted
to offer you a drink.
No, thank you, I'm okay.
Uh, excuse for my English,
uh, because I was there,
and, uh, mm, you were smiling at me,
so I-
Smiling at you?
Yes.
No, I wasn't smiling at you.
I was just smiling, okay?
But it's marvellous.
No, it's not marvellous.
But can, can you just
please leave me alone?
- It's-
- Please, thank you.
It's a little rude, no?
No, I already answered you.
I'm not interested in your drink.
I'm not interested in you.
I'm here having a good
time with my husband.
Can you just please leave
me alone by myself, okay?
Thank you.
- Me too.
I am with my girlfriend, and perhaps
So what?
Perhaps we, we can have
a, a little conversation
- Oh.
- Together.
No, I already told you no.
But it's, it's so simple
to have a conversation with
- Gabriel, it's ok.
- Come back.
It's a bit...
They're rough around the edges,
these little tourists.
What's your problem old asshole?
Go fuck yourself!
Leave me alone!
I told you in every way to leave me alone.
Gabriel, it's ok.
Get out of here!
What's with this tone?
I don't understand what you say.
Gabriel, stop!
Wait. I'm talking to her.
Go fuck yourself!
- Wow.
- Oh.
Me, I'm polite.
Oh, you get it now.
Me, I'm polite.
Oh, you get it now.
You didn't get who I am.
Do you recognize me?
Ooh.
Do you recognize me?
Ooh.
Unbelievable.
Now, do you recognize me?
Here we go!
Are you calm now?
Ok?
You know who I am?
Hey, hey, hey.
Are, are, are you a
fucking bearded weirdo?
- Whoa.
- Go away.
Hey, whoa, who, whoa.
Aren't you going to hold that one?
- Go.
- Gabriel.
I just introduced myself.
Get out!
Henri! Henri...
Get the fuck outta here, dude.
What?
He works with Alex.
Yes I know him pretty well.
And we both know each others.
Don't touch me!
Fuck.
Ok.
Can I have my drink back?
- Do you have a problem, asshole?
- I am so sorry, guys.
No problem.
Incredible.
Hello! Doing good?
Yes, I know.
I couldn't call you back before.
I know I said that but,
now I don't have this money.
Don't tell my brother in law.
He won't help me!
What's the point?
What's the point?
No, it's all wrong. Ok?
The gambling debts stories about me,
are fake. Understand?
Ok, ok... it's good.
Ok, I'll bring this on Friday.
Alright. Bye.
You want me to go home then?
Huh?
Do you want me to go home then?
No, it's okay.
We'll go, all right.
- No, no, no, no.
- Yeah.
- Gonna wait.
- Thank you.
What's going on?
I'll spank him.
You should, you should go.
What?
What's your problem?
Pisses me off.
Mind your own fucking business.
There's no one fucking else in the bar,
and then that fucking guy
comes and talks to you?
I'm, I'm sorry.
I was
- No, it's okay.
- Pissed, sorry.
- Yelled a little.
- It's all right.
Sorry, but I was very, very angry.
No, you gotta defend yourself.
You gotta bring the claws out.
That's what these guys are for.
I'm surprised you didn't
scratch up his face,
tear off the fucking fake beard.
Oh, I would love that.
Yeah.
Go.
Just fucking rattle him up.
I wasn't worried about you.
I wasn't worried about you for a second.
- I was fine.
- I knew you had
it under control.
- Yeah, but it's annoying.
I know it's annoying.
I know it's annoying.
- Yeah.
You know, I'm just glad you
didn't pull out the knife.
- Yeah, well.
- That would've been bad.
Then, you go to jail.
- My knife?
Yeah, which pocket do you keep it in?
Is it this one?
Stop it, give me a second.
What?
It's Anita.
Anita.
I have to answer.
Say hi!
- Yeah.
Yes, yes.
I'll be right back. Ok?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go, go, go.
Anita, how are you?
Give me two seconds.
Please.
3 seconds, 3 seconds...
Now it's ok. How are you?
Good and you?
No worries.
I know you're at work.
I couldn't wait.
I did the test.
In the toilets of a bar.
Guess! Otherwise, I wouldn't call you.
Yeah!
I'm pregnant. Yes.
No I haven't told him yet.
We're out, in a bar.
And he's a little drunk.
And he had problems at work.
I couldn't find the
right moment to tell him.
No.
No, but I think I'll tell him tomorrow...
You're ok my man?
You have a good ass.
- Ow.
Shit.
- That hurt.
- Almost broke my hand.
- Oh, man.
- Whoo.
Yay.
Does he spank you like that?
Oh, yes, he does.
Yes, he does.
Get this man a shot of vodka.
Vodka.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
And chain him to the bar
so that he stops fucking wandering off
without notice.
- Vodka and wine.
- Vodka and wine.
You're fucking insane.
I love your style.
- Breakfast of champions.
- I love your style, man.
- Mm-hmm.
Desperate times call
for desperate measures.
Oh, I love it.
You having a good time?
Having a great time.
Okay, come on.
Let's have a toast.
- A toast.
- To friends.
- Yep.
- Family.
- Mm-hmm.
And love, whatever it is.
Gorgeous.
Oh, shit me, whoo, oh, yes.
Whoo.
- Okay.
- Are you ready
to make me a happy man or what?
- In a second.
- Oh, come on.
In a second, please,
please, please, please.
- You're fucking with me.
- No, no, no.
- No.
- I need to check
something first, okay?
- All right, okay.
- Okay, thank you.
All right.
See... The 2 Americans are at the bar.
Keep a discreet eye on them.
And if Henri asks questions,
don't tell him anything.
Alright?
Got it?
And come see me in 2 minutes.
Why are you looking at them?
Who?
The couple there.
The Americans?
Yes.
Alex asked to keep an eye on them.
Really?
And why?
You want to know?
Yeah.
Come closer.
I don't know.
He didn't tell me.
By the way, I have to go see him.
Keep an eye on them.
Julie.
Julie!
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
Just a couple of problems, to deal with.
Really?
Yes.
Did you go visit our father yesterday?
I told you I'll go see him on Friday.
It's been three weeks already.
Do you get it?
I already told you that
I'll go see him on Friday.
What's up with the couple at the bar?
They're just clients and,
the guy is often here.
Are they looking for trouble?
No.
Why?
Nothing.
Alex wants to see you.
- He wants to see me?
- Go!
Now.
There!
Sit down!
I don't have enough time.
I need to talk to you.
First...
I have a question for you.
Who do you think I am?
What are you talking about?
Why did you bring only 50?
I cut it as you told me.
You think I'm stupid?
No.
You know how to count?
Yeah.
I gave you 300 grams of pure.
And I didn't charge you.
I've already given you 50.
What else is there to understand?
Pietro!
Pietro, come here!
I'm an idiot.
You've already given 50.
'What else is there to understand?' Fuck!
Come!
You see! Him
with his... fancy tattoos.
He's the only one to be treated this way.
Not even you.
My... brother.
No.
Only him.
Do you know why?
Because he is my fucking brother-in-law.
Fuck...
And yet, he can't stop trying to fuck me.
He can't help it.
I've already given you 50.
Henri.
You know we're family.
Yes, I know.
And when we're family,
we don't fuck each other over.
I know that too.
When I gave the dope,
I told you can do whatever you wanted.
The 300 grams, you could cut them
any way you wanted.
I didn't give a fuck.
But, the deal wasn't 50.
So... Where's the rest?
Are you gambling again?
I'm done with that.
How much did you lose?
That's ancient history.
It's not what I was told.
I don't gamble anymore.
Henri...
I'm trying to help you here.
How much did you lose?
I don't gamble anymore!
So, what did you do with it?
Where's the rest?
Ok... I'll tell you.
I got 70 out of it
and then took my margin...
And worst of all,
it wasn't all that pure.
'It wasn't all that pure.'
It wasn't all that pure.
It wasn't all that pure!
Let me go!
Alex, calm down.
- Sit down!
- Alex, calm down.
He breaks my balls.
Shut the fuck up!
You, shut the fuck up!
The Americans are drunk?
The guy, yes. Her, no.
You'll make the call.
And when he comes out,
if he does
you send them.
Ok.
And
while you're at it,
get rid of the asshole and the girl.
Hello.
Hello!
It's ok, he can come.
He's high as usual,
he can fuck it up at any moment.
Yeah, yes.. I handle him.
No worries.
Alright! Ming...
I want his cut.
Very good.
Come on. Let's go.
We're closing.
I have an appointment with Alex...
He can't see you.
I know he's downstairs.
I can wait for him.
He's ill. He asked me
to send everyone away.
- Ok. Let's go.
- But we can wait...
You have 2 minutes to get out
with your prey. Ok "Gandalf"?
Ok. Alright.
Let's go.
Come.
Get the fuck outta here, man.
You did the call?
I called him.
All good?
Send the Americans in 2 minutes.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
- Hey.
- Ah.
My American friends.
What's going on?
You okay? Welcome.
- Finally, in my happy place.
- Thank you.
Ah, you okay?
I'm really sorry, mate.
- Thanks.
I kept you waiting, but I
had a bit of a family issue.
I'm really sorry.
- All right.
Sounded like it.
- Okay?
So how do you, you like it?
What do you think?
It's my happy place.
- It's nice, isn't it?
- Nice.
- Right?
- Right.
So what are you up to?
Hey, we are up to drinks, more drinks
- Yeah.
- Some more drinks
- Yeah.
- And just getting the party
- I was-
- fucking knocked up a level.
Hoping for that.
Okay, come on.
Let's get the party started, baby.
Upgraded.
Come on, let's have a drink.
Let's have a drink.
- Let's do it.
Yeah.
- Yay.
So I have whiskey, vodka, tequila.
No, don't say a word, motherfucker.
I know you're like me,
a whiskey guy, right?
You know what?
At this point
I mean,
you don't give a shit anymore.
- It's all the same.
- Vodka, wine.
- No, no, no.
It's all the fucking same.
Eva, the same, right?
- Eva, uh, just one, please.
- Eva.
Okay, the same it is.
Let's go.

Oh, yeah, cheers.
Cheers.

Thanks, yeah.

And there you go.
- Beautiful.

Thank you very much.
I gave you some extra tonight.
That's on the house.
Oh, that's very kind of you.
Do you mind if I
No, no, no, no, no,

Please, please, please, please, please.
Save that for later, okay?
Right there on the table,
my friend, waiting for you.
- Oh.
- Come on.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
Enjoy yourself.
Uh, that's a great guy you have here.
Yeah, I know.
It's funny, though, because it's almost
like I already know you.
Maybe from another life.
Who knows?
So what do you think?
Nice, isn't it?
Colombiana like your girlfriend here.
Very, very tasty.

Yeah, yes, yes.

What is she doing?
I'm here, you know.
Like, you can talk to me.
That's true.
I mean-
Yeah, that's right.
I'm really, really,
really, really sorry.
- It's okay.
- I, I apologise
if I, I mean, so please
tell me, what do you do?
I'm a computer engineer.
Fuck me.
- You're amazing.
- Computer engineer.
Bloody hell.
- I'm so proud of you.
- Whoo.
- Every time you say that,
I'm like, yes, she is.
- You, you must be proud.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So you're the smart one, basically.
- Yeah.
- But no of fence, man.
That was never up for debate, yeah.
She always the-
I mean, whoa.
- Definitely the smart one.
- Now, that's,
that's fucking impressive.
I love it, I love it.
- Yeah.
- Computer engineer.
- Amen.
- You know this?
- Shit.
I know exactly what it is,
actually, and you know why?
Mm-hmm?
Because my nephew is studying in London
to be a computer engineer as well.
- Oh.
- Nice.
- Small world.
- Incredible, right?
I mean, he's a very smart kid.
I'm paying for his studies
because I just, I just love the guy.
- That's great.
- Very funny, you know,
very cute, little bit like me.
Um.
Humble as fuck.
- Oh, humble as fuck.
- Yeah, I'm sure.
You got me there.
Ah, you know what I mean.
Also, everything is
getting digital nowadays.
So I guess he'll find a job easily.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yes,
everything digital.
- Right?
For sure, no doubt.
I'm glad you agree.
Hey, take it easy, man.
- I know.
- Take it easy.
- I'm sorry.
- I want some after.
- Where did you learn-
- I'm sorry.
How to speak English?
Um, school.
Really?
- Yeah.
- School.
Okay, which one?
I mean, uh, UCL.
UCL, Harvard
- Okay.
- And then Stanford,
and then Princeton.
- Aw, come on.
Grade A all the way through, baby.
Why not?
Oh, that's fucking good.
- What, what's so funny, huh?
- Oh.
You don't, you don't
believe me, guys, yeah?
- Yeah, we can-
- You really don't believe me.
I can tell, right?
- No, I fucking believe
you, dude.
I fucking believe you.
No, I mean, I wanna understand.
So what's so fucking
funny about it, right?
You don't believe me
because, because I'm a fucking criminal?
- Oh, shit.
- Jim.
Oh, oh, fuck that's funny.
What's up, man?
What, what, what the
fuck's going on, dude?
Hey.
- Jim.
Buddy, I thought we were joking.
What's so fucking funny about it?
Tell me.
You know, I, I, I think
it's just a miscommunication.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- There is no fucking-
- You said school.
Miscommunication here.
You're a smart man.
You know exactly what you said.
So what's so fucking funny about it?
Dude, I am sorry.
You come here to my place.
You enjoy my hospitality.
Whoa, dude, chill
- You mock me.
- The fuck out.
- Jim.
- Who the fuck
you think you are?
- Chill the-
- What makes you so special?
Fuck out.
I am sorry if-
You show off with
- I fucking offended you.
- Your perfect life
with your perfect job,
your perfect girlfriend.
- What?
What the fuck
is so funny about it?
I'm sorry, fuck, all right.
Let's just call it a night, dude.
You are fucking, let's
get outta here, man.
- Let's just go.
- Jesus, come on, let's go.
No, no, no.
I got you guys.
Oh, you prick.
- Fuck you, man, fuck you.
- Oh, man.
Fucking prick.
Oh, my God.
You should
- Oh, dude.
- Have seen your face.
He pulls this shit off.
Dude, I'm way too fucking drunk.
Come on.
That's not cool.
Don't do that shit to me, man.
Come on. That was amazing.
- Three fucking lines in.
- That was amazing.
- Making shit up.
- I'm not sure about it.
Oh.
Fuck, my heart's racing, all right.
Whoo.
- I love myself, ah.
Eva, I'm really sorry.
I'm really sorry.
- Yeah, yeah.
I mean, what a bad behaviour.
- Oh, you prick.
- No, no, no, no, no.
I mean, to answer your question.
I'm taking,
I'm taking this.
- I, I'm, I'm a huge fan
of movies, but American movies.
- Yeah.
- You know, the real cinema.
That makes more sense.
What, uh, genre are we talking about here?
Ah, you know, mafia, gangster shit,
a bit of comedies as well.
Sure.
What about you, Eva?
I don't have any
particular taste, actually.
Mm, okay.
What about you, Jimbo?
I'm fucking thrillers.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah.
All the way, all day,
every day, twice on Sunday.
- Thrillers, I see.
- Yeah.
Thrillers.
- With twists, right?
With twists.
Whoa, let's twist again
No.
Twisting time is here
- No.
- Whoo.
- Not those twists.
- Yeah, baby.
- No.
- Whoa, I love a good twist.
Eva, Come on.
Shake it, shake it
- Oh, stop.
- Shake it, baby.
Oh, God.
Put down the notes,
put down the notes, yay.
Come on.
- Oh, shit.
Oh, God.

You're right, you're right, you're right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, guys, guys, guys, guys.
No, no, come on, come on, come on.
Finish the last one.
Come on, finish the last one.
And I have one more question for you.
I mean, how long have you been in Paris?
Come on.
- Okay, okay, okay.
Please, please, please, please.
All right, all right, all right.
Eva, how long have you been in Paris?
Uh, three years.
- Three years?
- Yeah.
Oh, wow, and I guess you came together
at the same time, right?
- Yes, we did.
- On the same fucking plane.
- Yes, at the same time.
- As well?
- Yep.
- Amazing.
- Yep.
See, I love those stories.
You should tell me more about you guys.
No, man, let's go.
We got, we gotta go.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You said,
you said you wanted, you
wanted to finish your drink.
So finish
your drink, motherfucker.
- Okay, watch this.
Watch this.
- Come on.
- Thank you.
- Whoo, Whoo, whoo.
- Okay, done.
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you very much.
- No, come on, no.
Oh, I'm so sad.
No.
No, no, no, we gotta get out here.
Please, please, please.
Love me.
- Oh, give a hug.
It's gonna be okay.
- Don't leave me.
No, man, we gotta, we gotta go.
Here, here, I'll pass you your bag.
I'm crying, motherfucker.
I know, I'm sorry, sweetheart,
but the good times-
I'm not asking
for a blow job right now.
- No, no, the-
- But at least show
some compassion.
- The good times have to
- Oh.
- Come to an end.
Look who's here.
You guys, you know Pietro?
- Pietro.
- Pietro, need to say hi.
Say hi, Pietro.
How are you?
- What the fuck, man?
Whoa, hey.
- Hey.
- Whoa, whoa.
- Hey, what is this?
Whoa, dude.
Sit the fuck down.
I said sit down.
- Okay, okay.
- All right, all right, hey.
Okay, okay.
Alex
- It's okay.
- What the fuck is this man?
Calm down.
If you cooperate, there'll be no violence.
Alright?
What is this?
What the fuck is this?
Is this is a, is this another prank?
You fucking pranking me?
This is not
fucking funny, dude.
Oh, you're gonna laugh my friend.
You're gonna laugh.
Is this money?
You want more fucking money?
- Money, money, money,
money, what money?
Where, where, where, where, where?
So what, what is this?
You said you like
twist, so wait for it
But for the moment
It's time to have a drink
What the fuck are you doing?
Oh, Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo.
You fucking underestimated me,
pretty much like everyone else
'cause you see,
not only I'm a fucking A-grade student,
but I'm also a freaking artist.
And you have no idea the
shit I can put together.
I don't know what the fuck
you're talking about, man.
Sound crazy to me, dude.
Oh, yes, I am, I am.
Ah, you know what?
I mean, you're a fucking jerk.
I mean, you must admit
that you're a fucking jerk.
But I like you.
I like you, yeah.
You surprise me all the time.
You're full of surprises.
I know you love.
- I thought we were
fucking friends.
I thought we were-
Oh, yeah.
- Fucking friends.
- Oh, yes, we are.
Yes, we are.
Don't worry about that.
I mean-
This is bullshit, man.
Let's-
I love you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wait for it.
There is the twist.
Nice work, Alex.
I know.
Wait, who the fuck is that?
What the fuck are you doing here?
Miss me, Eva?
Wait, wait, how do
you, you, you know this guy?
Who the fuck is this?
So how is Paris treating you?
Oh, we can either chat,
or I can leave you here
with Alex and his friend.
What the fuck do you want?
What do I want?
What, you didn't think
I would come for you?
Wait, wait.
What is fucking going on here, guys?
What is going on?
Okay, let, let,
let me handle it, okay?
Let me handle it.
You don't know
about her hacking activities?
I'm sorry, her, her what?
You were right.
He didn't know, Alex.
She took from me around 250 bitcoins.
Bitcoins? What the fuck?
Jim, right?
Eva was head of my IT department
in my import company, Solipo.
Rings a bell?
You worked for him?
Oh, yeah, she was also a hacker
for an anarchist group named VigiHats.
They're hacktivists.
Man, what?
She took my money to finance
their anarchist cause or whatever.
You took it back.
But that
doesn't answer the fact
that you stole from me.
And for the record, I took
back only what you all took.
Okay, guys, hang on.
Hold the fuck on.
What the fuck is he talking about?
Tell me what the fuck is going on.
Jim, listen to me!
Listen to me!
I fucked up, I fucked up...
but it was before.
More than 5 years ago.
Before we came to Paris.
This is fucking real?
This is fucking real? Oh my god!
Alex, empty their
bags and check what is inside.
You know what happened
to VigiHats Jim?
It just became another
criminal enterprise.
Maybe she's taking advantage of your work
and stealing information
and money for them.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Jim, Jim
- Oh, please.
- No, that's not true.
Well, it was even, I, I quit everything.
I quit everything.
No, no, no, no...
Don't look at me this way.
Hey, hey.
Okay, just, just give me,
give me a fucking second, okay?
This will need your work
computer to access the bank.
And then you will wire me $20 million.
Alex here will give you
all the bank details.
I'm sorry.
Are you fucking serious?
- Mm-hmm.
You want me to
just wire you $20 million?
I can't fucking do that.
So what hurts more, that or Eva's lies?
- Fuck you.
- Okay.
You are very
welcome, but right now,
I kinda need you to cooperate.
You don't understand.
I can't physically do it.
There are security checks at every level.
I'm sure you'll
find a way to bypass them.
I found something.
Oh, I see congratulations are in order.
Oh, you didn't know again?
She's hiding a lot of
things from you, Jimmy.
Shut up!
Jim, this was what I
wanted to tell you before.
- Wait, wait.
- We were in the park.
Wait, wait, wait.
Sh, sh, sh.
- You didn't,
you didn't let me do-
Shut up.
Is this for real?
- Yeah, I did it an hour ago.
- Are you fucking
with me right now?
- Jim.
- Are you fucking
with me right now?
Fuck.
But, Jim, I tried to tell you before.
- Oh, fuck.
- Drama, drama, drama.
Oh, fuck.
I would hate it if he hurts Eva
or, even worse, the baby.
Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, hey, man.
Hey, listen.
Put the fucking gun down, right?
Hey, tell him to put the
fucking gun down, Alex.
Sh.
- Put the fucking gun down.
- Okay, good, five minutes.
Then, we're all out of here.
Alex, wanna have a drink?
Okay, uh.
Hey, uh, do you understand
that, if I do this,
I'm done, right?
My career is over.
They'll know it's me, and I
will go to fucking jail, right?
You know that.
Not my fucking problem.
And don't make me hurt her, 20 million.
Let's go.
Alex will follow everything you do.
You're gonna take your phone,
call Fred, and put him on speaker.
Hey, I'm doing it, all right?
Tell the fucking gorilla
to put a gun down.
Okay.
Hello.
Hey, what's up, buddy?
How's it going?
Still online,
I'm fucking barely awake.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Gateway connection all fixed?
Everything looking good?
Yeah, all fine,
everything is great, man.
No worries.
- That's great, man.
That's great.
We're good.
Jim?
- Hey, uh, Fred.
I wanna get in there, and, uh,
I wanna take a closer look.
Right now?
I need you to grant me
access to the live platform.
It's fucking late, man.
No, I know, man.
I know it's late.
Hey, you know I'm a
fucking night owl, man.
Listen, I just wanna
cover my own ass, okay?
Man, I need the security guys
or Andrew to validate it.
- I know.
- I can't.
I know, buddy.
Just please, just do his
solid this one time, okay?
Man.
Okay.
All right, great.
I'm sending you the security
- Okay.
- Request now.
Can this wait, please?
Got it.
Two days?
Give me two fucking days.
This is way too obvious.
Done.
Like I said,
not my fucking problem.
- Jim.
Jim.
Unmute it.
- Are you here, Jim?
- Now.
Jim, man, are you here?
Right, right, right.
Jim.
Fucking man.
Yeah, I'm in, man.
Okay.
I'll let you know when I'm done.
Talk to you later.
Bye!
Alex.
I'll take it from here.
Good.
Quick question.
Do you want a little boy or a little girl?
You're such a bitch.
Oh, finally, you're looking at me.
You've always been a bitch.
Watch your mouth.
I don't need to
watch my fucking mouth.
I owe you nothing.
Oh, yes you do.
All those years I showed you how it works.
I, I made you.
I trusted you, and you betrayed me.
Because you deserved it.
Son of a bitch!
Let me go. Motherfucker.
Let me go!
Hey, Hey.
Let go of her, man.
Let the fucking hand-
What's going on?
Take your fucking hand off her.
Sh.
Pietro, go check!
Where are we?
Only gonna take a couple of minutes.
What the fuck?
What the fuck was that?
Alex?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Henri! What are you doing?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Henri! What are you doing?
Don't move, son of a bitch!
Calm down!
Fuck your mother!
I am an associate of Ming.
What the fuck are you doing?
Holy fucking shit, man.
Oh, fuck.
Henri.
You did great, Henri!
Henri, are you ok?
It'll be fine. It's over.
Julie.
There's no time. We must hurry.
You and Henri,
take the Americans to the cellar.
I'll take care of the rest.
Henri.
Henri, listen to me.
Go with your sister!
Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Listen to me.
Look at me.
Look at me. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Just shut the fuck up
and follow them, okay?
- All right, okay, okay.
- Come on, hurry up.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Come on, go, go.
Don't fuck me over, like Pietro!
I'm sorry. I still can't do it.
Son of a bitch!
What are you doing here?
- Asshole!
- I was going to the bathroom.
- You wanted to watch?
- No, no. I didn't see anything!
Henri!
- I saw and heard nothing.
- Heard what?
- Henri! Come here!
- What now?
Let me go Alex!
- Get rid of this piece of shit!
- What the fuck?
Fuck!
I told to keep an eye!
Damn it!

Still talking to me?
You want me to fuck your mother...

Fucking hell, Henri!
Let me go!
What are you up to?
Henri!
It'll be my fault again. Fuck!
What did he do?
- I was going to the bathroom...
- Shut up!
- Let me go!
- Shut the fuck up!
Get rid of this son of a bitch!
Come on!
It's ok Alex. All good.
You don't have to do it.
We are one.
Get dressed...
- We'll meet upstairs?
- Yeah.
Turn off the music please.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You okay, my man?
I'm great. How are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
Nice to see you, and Eva, right?
Eva?
- Eva.
- Eva, Eva.
- Eva.
Eva, yeah, we met a couple
of time, but we never spoke.
- Yeah, well-
- Come on.
Hopefully, we will catch up later, right?
Hey, what happened with that other guy?
Did he forget to flush the toilet or what?
Nah, just forget about it.
- Flush the toilet.
- Enjoy, enjoying the drinks?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, delicious.
- Yeah?
- Thank you, yeah.
Okay, do you need anything else?
Yeah, do you have a second to
- Um.
- Take care of me or what?
Not now, man, but, uh, I,
I'm coming back shortly, okay?
I haven't forget you,
okay?
- All right, man, okay.
Henri.
Fuck...
You pissed me off man.
You'll get me in trouble with your sister.
Is it my fault, again?
Where is he?
What did you do to him?
I got rid of him.
- You got rid of him?
- What?
- That's it?
- Yeah...
No, I want you to find the son of a bitch
and beat the shit out of him.
I don't want him to tell any story.
You hear me?
Oh fuck...
I forgot my appointment with this asshole.
- Gabriel!
- My dear Alexandre!
Henri!
We've to talk when you come back.
Excuse me.
- How are you? All good?
- And you?
- Glad to see you.
- Me too.
- Sorry... Good Night. Alex.
- Irene.
Nice to meet you.
So... Tell me.
I want to speak to you
about my... the budget increase
that I told you about.
Alright.
Excuse me but...
She'll be following us around for long?
- I told you that we'd talk in private.
- Yes I got it.
- Just a moment?
- Sure.
Thanks.
- So... Soon the D Day?
- Yeah.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
- When does filming start?
- In 2 months.
Two months. Fuck... It'll come quickly.
- Are you ready, bastard?
- Yes totally.
You'd better be.
I can't wait. Can't wait!
It'll be fun.
I didn't get it, explain it to me.
Why do you need this much?
Listen... I've changed the script...
the end of the script.
- The end of the script?
- Yeah...
Again?
And who is she?
I wanted to introduce her to you
she'll be the lead actress of the film.
Oh fuck! Gabriel!
Why are you doing this to me?
I was... ah!
I was sure about it.
Why?
We never saw her face anywhere.
Nobody knows her.
Why are you casting a nobody?
Listen, I need to refresh myself...
To renew myself.
But, we cast three stars
in the supporting roles.
Nothing is decided yet.
She is still doing screen tests.
- Screen tests?
- Yeah.
You want to fuck her?
I know you and know what it means...
when you do this... with your lips.
And... don't try to stick it to me!
I'm worse than you.
Gabriel... Actually the extra budget
will pay for your fantasies?
- Oh no...
- Oh no. Ah... Oh no.
Holy fuck... It's incredible.
You are all the same.
You do this job to fuck women,
that you can never get in real life.
You're all pathetic.
Anyway... I don't give a fuck.
I've read your budget estimate.
What you're asking for, is unreasonable.
I found a great film location, the
extra budget is also for the equipment...
Alright, alright...
But it's not worth 100 thousand.
So, you'll work on your budget estimate.
- Alright?
- Ok.
You'll then send it back, and
if I like it I'll may be sort it out...
- Ok?
- Alright, Alex.
When you listen to me,
you work well, asshole...
I read you last script version,
this... is good!
- You like it?
- Yes, there is something.
But, I'm sorry...
For how long have we been speaking,
about your movie's beginning?
How many times I told you?
Nothing is happening... It's flat!
We're bored to death.
You've to... It's the
beginning of your film.
You've to grab the viewers' guts.
Something must happen
to make us want to fucking watch it!
Not sure if it'll fit my film's subject.
And what subject, Gabriel?
What subject?
You're doing a bullshit philosophical film.
It's only some intellectual masturbation.
You're not saving lives.
Alright? It's cinema, no big deal!
Fucking free yourself!
Irene! Excuse me...
Come here please.
Sorry, we don't know each others.
But, I was explaining
to this gentleman here
that being an artist is being free.
You hear me?
Free!
That's the right word!
Ok?
And life is a game.
You've to take risks and make sacrifices.
And that goes for Cinema too.
"The Cinema is a magnificent
and dangerous weapon
when in the hands of a free spirit"
Luis Bunuel.
Yes, exactly.
And Prevert added...
"It's not only my voice that sings,
but other voices, lots of voices
from the present and the past"
- Magnificent!
- You see what I mean?
Does it feel like you're at the theater?
- Now something is happening...
- Better... it's Cinema. Awesome!
Watch out. I'll soon take your place.
You laugh... but you never know.
And you're lucky because next time,
I'll charge for this show, you bastard!
- Come on, I'll buy you a drink!
- It's worth it.
- So you can tell me more about you?
- Ok.
Freedom, Gabriel!
- Freedom.
- I'm in the here and now.
Stop with your Buddhist bullshit.
- Me again.
- What's up?
Good evening Julie.
- Me again. - What's up?
Guys, guys, guys.
Good evening Julie.
Let me introduce you to
a very good friend of mine,
a terrific director, Gabriel Dreyer.
Hello.
Good evening! Evening!
- Hello.
Good evening! Evening!
Allow me to introduce my actress.
Great actress...
So what do you drink?
A glass of red wine, the usual.
Same, please.
- Ok, have a seat there at the table.
- Thanks.
I'm coming.
All good?
You want something?
No thanks. I won't be long.
I'm leaving.
So...
Miss... Irene!
Where did you cast her?
I saw her in a Chekhov's play.
She was wonderful.
And she had naturally something,
that I need to have in my main character.
So right after the play,
I suggested that she audition.
Alright.
And... How long have you been an actress?
Almost 5 years. I went to drama school...
Wait... Sorry Irene.
I stop you right there.
I don't care,
you went to such-and-such school...
It doesn't matter to me,
what matters is what did you play in?
Classical and modern theater,
commercials, short films...
I saw some of her work.
Magnificent. She's very charismatic.
- Sublime.
- Thanks.
I don't doubt it.
And... No cinema?
No, but it'll be with Gabriel,
my first feature film.
- Hopefully...
- Alright.
And how do you feel?
Very good.
Really?
Up to it?
I hope so.
Ok...
Where are we at with the screen tests?
Listen... we're about halfway of the film.
Can I watch anything?
Of course.
- Yes.
- Yeah...
And when?
Give me a week,
and I'll edit for you a nice video.
Alright... Ok.
And I will show you that.
For once, you want to get it right...
And how do you feel?
Ready.
Yeah?
Yes.
All the way?
Always.
You should be. It's the lead role.
I know.
It's no longer small theaters,
or short films.
- I'm pretty aware of it.
- It's serious.
I'm ready.
I'm counting on you.
If he tells me you are up to it, so...
See?
Wait... Excuse me, sorry.
Ok.
Thanks.
- You need something else?
- No, we're good. Thanks.
- Are you fine?
- Yes, thanks.
You'll be playing in his next movie?
Yes... I hope so.
Yes, if all goes well.
She is screen testing for the lead role.
It's no small thing.
How is it going?
Very well.
Ok.
What's this movie about?
I won't be late. I'm coming.
I can't say... I don't know.
You want to know?
Yes, it's the story...
Ok, later then.
Henri.
Stop.
Why do I have a hole in my wall?
Why are you asking me?
Ask your old man!
Don't give me that shit.
You know... all you crazy shit
and dark stuff. All this!
You'll do it without me.
I'll start my business, by myself. Ok?
And how are you going to do it alone?
I'll sort it out.
Alright. Sort it out! I don't care.
Wait...
- Are you ok?
- Yes.
Does it hurt?
It's ok.
It's not broken?
I've always protected you.
It's crazy, blood ties...
Remember when you were a kid...
You used to fight all the time.
And I was stopping you.
But you were doing it before.
Now... you're doing the exact opposite.
Fucking shit!
Hey... What's going on?
Why tonight?
What're you talking about?
Henri!
Henri... What?
He smashed the wall.
It's not Henri who smashed your wall.
It's that asshole.
And what did he do 'that asshole'?
Julie! Why are you so stressed?
You know that I have a plan for tonight!
All is under control. Ok?
You have to trust me, Julie.
Was it good with your whore downstairs?
She fucked you well?
Get out!
Excuse me.
- Gabriel. Are you staying a bit longer?
- Yes, of course.
- I'll see you when I get back?
- Ok, I'll wait.
- Alright?
- Yes.
And... Irene!
You'd better be as good as he says.
What were we talking about again?
About local agriculture...
Oh yes.
I'm wondering...
Really, I think it's crazy.
We European countries,
specially in France,
we're still importing fruit and vegetables,
from the other side of the world.
Even from far away, like Tierra del Fuego.
While we can be food self-sufficient.
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, totally... Totally.
And then destroying
destroying is all we do,
us here rich countries.
And all this to produce useless things.
Clearly, we need to change our behavior.
In fact, I'd say it's a behavior,
that needs to be imposed on every citizen.
In what way?
It's very simple.
The daily ecological constraints.
Let me explain.
We must change our consumption patterns,
in terms of food, clothing, heating,
and all means of transport.
And what about freedom or democracy?
There is no problem with
freedom and democracy.
It's enough to impose the constraints,
in a very gentle way.
And it'll pass.
Yes I see.
A sound ecological policy
will eradicate the inequalities,
that became really unacceptable.
Do you agree?
You're right. It's distressing.
That said...
We need to elect the right people...
I'll go to the bar, to charge my phone
and have some water. Ok?
- Alright.
- Later.
See you later, darling.
Yeah, that's it.
Excuse me.
Can I please charge my phone?
And a glass of water please?
Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Come on. Give it.
By the way, great bar!
I love the decoration.
- How is it going?
- All good.
Which wine is it?
- Excuse me?
- Oh, your wine is good?
The wine, yes, the wine is good.
- Yeah.
- Nice colour, which one is it?
It is red, pretty sure.
No, I'm kidding.
It's a Syrah from the Rhone region.
It's, um, it's full bodied.
It's, uh, it's well balanced.
It's a little peppery.
I highly recommend.
- Nice.
I gotta try it, I guess.
- You absolutely should.
Mm.
Julie, I will have a
top-off myself, please.
Yeah, sure.
Thank you very much.
So where are you from?
I mean, I got an idea, but.
Where do you think?
Well, I think you
look like an American star.
- Oh, thank you.
- Like that Brad Pitt type.
Oh.
Thank you very much, Angelina.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yeah, ding, ding, ding.
I am from the United States of America.
I love your country.
I was in New York
actually three months ago.
- Okay.
- Such an energy there.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I lived in New York for a
while, um, but I'm originally
from California, from Los Angeles, so
- Wow, LA.
- The West Coast.
Yeah.
I'm an actress and
- I heard.
- My dream is to live
there in LA 'cause, you know,
there's something magical
about Hollywood movies.
- Hmm.
- And, um, I remember
the very first movie I saw.
It was, like, a hero movie, you know?
And I was so fascinated
to see how this poor
and bullied little boy could become
this amazing hero, you know?
Gave me hope when I needed it
the most, and I told myself,
"One day I'm gonna be just like him."
- Hmm.
- And, uh, yeah.
Here I am trying.
- Here you are.
- Not that easy,
you know, but yeah.
- Oh, come on.
That is fantastic.
- Trying.
Thank you.
You gotta chase those dreams.
You gotta go for it.
- True.
- That's great.
- Yes.
- That's absolutely great.
What was the name of the movie?
- I can't remember.
- Mm.
I know. Shame on me.
My, my memory is terrible,
and it's not a good thing
for an actress, but, uh.
- It sounds like, uh,
the pig film.
What was the pig film called?
- Uh, "Babe"?
- I can't,
yeah, that's the one with the,
he's, like, bullied and
stuff, and he gets back to,
hey.
- Yeah, it's not, not that.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hola, mi amor.
- Hola.
- Hey.
- Ca va?
Ca va.
We were just chatting about, uh, wine.
Yes.
This is my wife.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Eva.
- Okay.
Anyway, enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
It was, uh, very nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you, too.
- Yeah.
Cheers.
Uh, have a nice evening.
- Yeah, you too.
- You too.
Oh, that poor girl is going
to die in Hollywood.
She's never gonna make it.
She's gonna get eaten like
a little fucking lamb.
Sad.
- Why are you,
she was checking you out.
She was not checking me out.
We were chatting
- Yes, she was.
- About wine and the US.
She wants to go to Hollywood.
She wants to, you know,
shoot for the stars.
- Mm, yeah, yeah, right.
- She's with her boyfriend,
by the way.
- Sugar daddy, maybe.
- Maybe a sugar daddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, perhaps.
I mean, look-
poor thing.
To be honest with you,
she could be my type, right?
She's, um, brunette, she's
petite, she's, um, you know
- Stop.
- Easy on the eye, you know.
- Stop it, stop it.
- You know what I'm saying?
Where were you?
You were gone forever.
I thought you abandoned me.
- Headed down-
- No, I was in the bathroom.
- Yeah, but forever.
- What, what's, no.
What's going on downstairs?
There's a weird atmosphere, weird lights.
Oh, the dungeon, yeah.
- The what?
- The dungeon.
It's Alex's office, yeah.
It's where all the,
the good stuff happens.
- You spend time there
with him or the others.
- Moi?
Me, down there?
- Jim.
Never, what kind of man
do you think I am?
- I don't believe you.
Oh.
- Ugh.
Scandalous.
- God.
I wouldn't dare go down there.
- Hey.
- Mm.
Let's get out of here.
What? Why?
Uh, this guy's not coming.
Are you okay?
Yes, but almost everyone left.
Is everything okay?
- Yes, everything's okay.
- Okay, well, then just relax.
He's coming back. You saw him.
He was here.
He said he's coming back.
Just enjoy this lovely Syrah
from the Rhone regions.
- Come on.
- It's well-balanced.
- The place is closed.
It's full-bodied.
This is what happens.
They close it.
- Almost everyone left.
I know.
They lock the doors.
It's, like, just the VIPs, the cool cats.
- Okay.
- Like you and me.
- Okay.
- The habitues is
what they call us.
Okay.
- I mean, we're basically-
- Hey, listen.
Waiting for the guy who owns the place.
We're fine.
Just relax.
Here, just a little sip, a little sip.
A walk, just walk?
I'll tell you what.
You wanna go for a walk?
Yes.
- I will go for a walk-
- Uh-huh.
If, it's a big if, if
I'm short some steps,
I'll go for a fucking walk, okay?
Drum roll, please, drum roll, drum roll.
You're not serious, come on.
- Bing, oh.
- Jim, let's go.
I am short some
serious fucking steps.
- Jim, come on.
- I could use a walk.
I'm at 1,325 steps, ugh.
You're done now?
I think a walk
is a great idea, Julie.
We will return.
- Jim.
Just going for a quick walk.
Call me in about 1200 steps, okay?
- Okay.
- You keep count.
All right, thanks.
- Okay.
- A walk, genius fucking plan.
I love it.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
- Where are we going?
- This way.
- This way?
- This way, yes.
- Are you sure
you don't want go that way?
No, no, no, no, no, come here.
Okay.
Well, this way it is.
Can we, um, can we skip step?
Can we
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Like this?
Oh, oh, oh.
- Pick up the pace a bit?
- You're hurting me.
- Or-
- Hey, no.
Jump, jump step.
Just get some
- Like this.
- Fresh air, okay?
Six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Stop.
All right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Oh.
- Oh, look
at this beautiful fucking night.
Yeah.
Oh, I love it when the city's all quiet.
It's like everyone's
- Me too.
- Disappeared,
except for the, that guy's
getting some steps in, too.
Fuck, yeah, baby.
- Yeah.
- I love this building.
- Beautiful.
Me too.
- I wanna buy
this fucking building.
- Yeah, right.
- Yeah, right.
- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, give me five years.
I'll buy you the whole fucking thing.
- Five years?
- Five years.
What do you think it costs, like, 25, 30?
Hmm, I don't know, but
I think in that case,
it will be me who will buy you
this one, two, three buildings.
- One, two, three?
- Yes.
Un, does tres?
- Un, dos tres.
- Wow.
- Yes.
- Okay, how 'bout we split it?
We go halfsies on it?
- Okay.
- Does that sound like a deal?
Yes.
- Okay.
- Deal, deal, deal.
We could, we could, we could
meet in that room for lunch
and then go to that
- Meet?
- Room for breakfast
and have our massages in that room.
Okay.
Does that sound like a good idea?
- Yes.
- Yeah?
- I like it.
- I love this.
- Uh-huh.
- This is a great idea,
this walk.
- I know.
- Walking is fantastic.
Yeah, you had a lot of wine.
Oh, I mean, it's not my fault
there's so much wine to
drink in this country.
Yeah.
- Okay.
- You're right, you're right.
Okay.
I love this place.
You know, I don't think
that I've ever actually been
into this, uh, park.
- Really?
- Yeah, I don't think I have.
Hmm, do you know its original name?
The original name
- Yes.
- Of the park?
Yeah, of course, it's
the very square square.
Place Royale.
- Place Royale with cheese.
- Yes.
It was made by Henry IV.
- Okay.
This was the place for
nobility to meet, to chat,
to talk about other people.
- Oh, fancy.
- Mm-hmm.
Until the revolution came,
and then they told-
Is this what you do
in the, uh, when you're, disappear,
you just go and
- God.
- Lock yourself
in the bathroom.
- Piss off, Jim.
And scroll through the history pages
- No.
- Like the little geek
that you are?
Is that what you do?
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
I'm just,
I'm jealous of that big brain of yours.
Okay.
- I know.
Let's go. Let's keep walking.
We got steps to do.
- Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim.
What?
What?
- There's something I need
to tell you.
- Okay.
- Okay.
You're breaking up with me?
No.
You're not breaking up me?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Hey.
- Listen to me.
- All right, let's go.
- Can you be serious?
- Tell me.
I can be totally
- Please, please, please.
- Fucking serious.
All right, it's important, okay?
- You want me to be serious?
- Yes.
Like, not one smile fucking serious
- Yes, you can smile-
- right?
And you can be serious at the same time.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I see.
So you're completely ready now, yeah?
Dead fucking serious.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- Okay, let's go.
- Bring it.
I'm fucking ready.
- Okay.
So, um, uh,
we've been together for
a while now, isn't it?
Yeah.
Happy together.
- Yeah, of course.
- Happy together?
Happy together, yeah.
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
So, um, I was think,
I was feeling, actually
- Whoa.
- That
Fuck, wait a second.
What? What is it?
Ah, it's probably my mom.
She always gets the times wrong.
No.
- What is it?
It's work.
This late?
Fuck.
Yeah, I gotta take it.
All right, just give me one second.
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
Yeah, hello.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow the, fuck, slow the fuck down.
What's going on?
Are you fucking serious?
Fuck, okay, hang on.
Just gimme one second.
Let me get my laptop out.
Accesses to the Hong Kong exchange are
down since fucking when?
Fuck.
And you're telling me none of
the orders have been executed,
not a single fucking one?
Okay, hang on one second.
I'm gonna connect to the VPN.
I'm gonna check the market gateway, okay?
Hold on.
Come on, come on, come on.
- I don't see anything.
- What, what, what?
No, I don't-
Hey.
- Know what to do.
- I don't see
anything green here.
All right, uh, I
Fucking hell.
I'm sending you a security request.
I need you to grant me access, okay?
Okay.
Coming now.
Okay, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
All right, done.
- All right, I'm in.
- Andrew's quite pissed, man.
He's harassing me.
- Checking error messages.
He's calling me again.
Oh, it all looks
good for now.
- They have no clue
in Hong Kong what's going on, man.
Come on, come on, come on, motherfucker.
Lost at least $120,000
since market's opening.
- How much?
- $120,000, man.
Fuck.
- Okay.
- Jim?
Yeah.
We can get fired for this, you know.
Buddy, I'm doing my best.
Give me one minute.
Shit. We're fucked.
Give me one minute.
Give me one minute.
Okay.
Here, uh, go back.
- Where?
- Are you seeing anything?
- There, error messages.
- Yeah.
- Jim.
- Those error messages show
the ID gateway number.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, so go to the-
- Did you mute me, Jim?
Exchange's website
and go private.
- Are you here?
No, it's not the fucking ID.
This ID was working yesterday.
It hasn't been
- Jim, Jim
- fucking updated.
- Fuck, do it anyway.
- Jim, I see
Okay, all right, uh.
Hey, Fred.
- Yeah.
What is the ID number
that you're looking at on your end, okay?
- ID number?
- Just read me
the whole thing.
- Um-
- Go.
Right, 5T4FM6.
The wrong fucking number, dude.
- Really?
- For some reason,
we have the old number in our system.
I don't know how the fuck that happened.
Okay.
- All right.
Can you change it?
Give me a minute.
Updating the new number now.
Okay, change committed.
Need the security clearance.
Go.
- Okay.
Come on, come on, come

Come on, come on, come

All right, done.
Seems better.
- Yes.
Seems better now.
Hey, buddy, orders are
going through on this end.
How's it looking over there?
Yeah, I think all is fine now.
Yes.
- You did it, man.
- Fucking great, okay, whoo.
- Yeah.
- That's fucking amazing.
- Thank you.
- All right, man.
- All right.

any other problems, all right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Okay, great.

Yeah, I'll talk to you soon.
All right, bye, bye.
Thanks. Bye!
All right, bye, bye.
All right, bye, bye.
Whoo, you.
- Come on.
- You.
That was fucking amazing.
- Yeah, I know.
- How did you do that?
Come on, hurry up.
Let's go.
- How did you do that?
How did you do that?
Tell me how you, how you-
I'm smarter than you.
You are so much smarter than me.
- I know.
- Oh, my God.
That was genius.
Okay, the walk is cancel a do.
We are going back to the bar.
We are having drinks,
cocktails, whatever you want
on me, of course.
You just saved my ass.
I still need to talk to you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, talk to me.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Talk to me. What's up?
Talk to me.
- It's okay.
- Why are you acting weird?
- We'll talk
about it tomorrow.
We'll talk it about tomorrow, okay.
Are you sure?
- Yes.
- You're sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
I have an idea.
- What?
Let's go home.
I'm tired.
- Home?
- I'm really tired.
It's been a long day, okay?
- Okay, listen, listen.
Alex, 10 minutes, and then we go home.
- Really?
- 10 minutes, okay?
Fuck, Jim, you don't listen to me.
Of course, I listen to you.
I always listen to you.
I listen to you more than
anyone else in the world.
I'm just asking for 10
minutes, 10 minutes.
We can do a dance.
We can, um, have a couple
of drinks, you know,
just 10 minutes, and then we go home.
I'll order the ride, and we'll
be home in like, you know,
a half hour, and then we can
- Half an hour?
- Half an hour.
- Really?
- Well, you know,
whatever, depending on
traffic, and then we can,
or maybe we can just, you
know, just do it right here.
Hmm?
- Maybe.
- Hmm?
I've always wanted to have sex
in a dirty alleyway in Paris.
Haven't you?
- Hmm.
- Hmm?
No?
Not really, actually.
You, not really?
- No.
- Right now,
you're not turned on
by the smell of urine?
This doesn't turn you on?
- I think home is better.
- I think I'm stepping
on a poop right now.
That's, that's-
Yeah,
I'm sure of it.
- That's not sexy for you?
- Yeah, no.
- No?
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
- 10 minutes.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then we go home.
All right?
But I want you to-
10 minutes.
I want you to keep all those
- 10 minutes.
- Yeah, 10 minutes.
I promise.
- Okay.
I wanna keep all the sexy
thoughts in, right in there.
Okay?
- I will.
Don't lose a single one of those.
And then we will go straight home.
Promise me it'll be 10 minutes.
I, I promise you.
I, I cross my heart
If it's less
- And hope to die.
- Even better, okay,
as fast as you can.
- As fast as I can.
Of course, of course.
Of course.
- So when are you taking
these salsa lessons?
Because this is not possible, okay?
I, I mean,
I've been working on it.
I didn't, you know, they say 10 minutes
of practise.
- Jim, you suck.
I'm sorry.
Well, that's not encouraging.
Show me the moves. Go on.
You're, you're supposed
- How so?
- To guide me.
Just grab me by the waist and just lead me
like, uh, like I'm your,
you know, I'm your puppy.
Mm-hmm, you're a puppy.
I'll show you at home, okay?
Come on.
Is that, is that the, is that salsa?
That's not really salsa, is it?
It's something else.
No, that's not salsa.
What do they call that?
Um.
- Uh-
- Like, party music?
Party, party
- Party lover music?
- Fiesta music.
- It's closed.
- No, they closed it for the,
she just keeps it
closed after hours.
- Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah.
Hello.
- Hi,
- We're back.
Yes, we are.
Just had a little walk around the corner.
- Oh, good, cool.
- It's amazing.
- It was lovely.
- Yeah, yeah.
Could we trouble you for two shots
of your finest vodka top shelf,
the most expensive bottle?
Okay.
Julie, just one shot.
- Okay.
- I'll have some water please.
Thank you.
- Mm.
Water?
- Yes.
That shit will kill you.
No, I'm thirsty.
I need to hydrate.
I really can't
recommend it.
- You should, too.
I know that hydration is important,
and that's why doctors recommend vodka.
The same.
Yep, three shots a day
- Of course.
- Keeps your hydration levels
just where they need to be.
Proust, whatever they say, 'nasdrovia'?
I don't fucking know.
- Oh, Jim.
Stop.
Stop trying, please.
Hey, is Alex here yet?
No.
He's not?
No, but he will be back.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- He said he would be back.
- He will.
- I'm gonna check my phone.
- 10 minutes, yes.
He hasn't texted me yet,
but I'm gonna see where he is,
and I'm sure he'll be right back.
Julie, you're looking great.
Oh, thank you.
You too.
- Thank you.
You're nice.
- Okay.
Fuck.
Could I have another one of those please?
- Yeah.
- Thank you very much.
Okay, so you're thirsty?
- Very thirsty, yeah.
- Mm.
I see.
- I take my hydration
very seriously.
- I see.
I don't know if you do,
but you know, that shit
- Not as you, as well.
- It's really fundamental
to your health.
Ooh.
I need to go pee.
Thank you for the information.
- I'm gonna go do that.
- Mm-hmm.
You stay here.
Don't move.
- I won't.
- Just brush up
on your history, okay?
- Okay.
I wanna know all about Henry V.
Was he a guy?
Did he exist in-
Fourth.
No, I know, but I wanna
know about the next guy.
Okay.
So tell me about the next guy, okay?
I'll be right back, all right.
Here we go!
Ah Irene!
I was thinking about,
what I'd said to Alex earlier.
In particular...
We're halfway through the film.
I decided
to continue the screen tests.
- Ok.
- You were expecting it?
- Yes.
- Good.
I want you to understand
something very important.
What I'm suggesting,
is a psychological exploration.
You've got to dig deep inside yourself.
In order to find
the motives of this character.
Yes, I see.
It's my way of working too. So it's fine.
Beyond the character...
I think that we'll incorporate gradually,
elements from you past, from your private
and even intimate life.
In order to intensify the script.
Sure, I can tell you all about it.
We've already started...
Irene!
I'd like us
to go further.
Alright.
As you know, I'm really motivated
to play this role.
So... Just tell me.
Ok.
Alright.
See... This bar is very cinematic.
Sure.
I was wondering, seeing this workshop...
It gave me already the idea of a scene.
A couple who argue
then make up again.
Julie!
This light on you is so beautiful.
Thanks, Gabriel.
You bring us the same drinks.
Thanks.
Eva, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, and you?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm just tired.
It's been a long day.
Okay, you work tomorrow?
Yes, I do, and you?
Yeah, every day, every night.
Mm, oh, work at night is not easy.
I used to work in a bar before years ago,
and schedules are not the best,
drunk clients all the time.
It's kind of annoying.
I know it.
Maybe you can get some vacations?
Yeah, I, I wish I could, but
actually, it's not Alex type.
Huh, why?
He's a very active guy.
He needs to always be doing something.
I get it.
Yeah, I get it, but
maybe you can talk to him
and try to change his mind.
Yeah, maybe I will.
Thank you for the advice.
You're welcome.
And you can tell me
if something's wrong.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Okay, see you.
Thanks.
Thanks
You're welcome.
You speak Chinese now?
- Mandarin.
- Yeah...
We say 'Mandarin'.
Yes, I do speak it a little.
You know... I spent 3 months in China.
I shot a movie there.
Thanks to Alex by the way.
Oh yeah. "Spiral".
I watched that film.
Incredible.
Thanks.
What was incredible,
was filming there.
Extraordinary experience.
People are very hard-working.
They're... persistent, attentive,
caring and above all very disciplined.
- Yeah, I guess so.
- Really.
Do you like her?
Yeah.
I never tried with an Asian woman.
Why not?
That's not the one I like.
It's the other one.
Oh yeah, I talked to her earlier.
She's very pretty.
She's good. No?
You know... When we were talking,
I saw that she was looking at me.
I am going to talk to her.
She's here with her boyfriend.
Exactly.
Do you like the guy?
Yes, a lot.
Ok.
This pretty blonde man?
Actually, yes.
You propose to them?
Go!
You know?
Alex set up the basement,
for this kind of encounters.
He already invited me downstairs.
- Really?
- Yes.
You can propose to them.
Give me a signal and I'll join you.
Ok.
See you in a bit.
Julie! The wine is great!
Good evening!
Hello.
Mm, you don't speak French?
I just know a few words.
Um, I'm Chilean.
Mm, are you visiting Paris?
I live in Paris.
Nice, I wanted
to offer you a drink.
No, thank you, I'm okay.
Uh, excuse for my English,
uh, because I was there,
and, uh, mm, you were smiling at me,
so I-
Smiling at you?
Yes.
No, I wasn't smiling at you.
I was just smiling, okay?
But it's marvellous.
No, it's not marvellous.
But can, can you just
please leave me alone?
- It's-
- Please, thank you.
It's a little rude, no?
No, I already answered you.
I'm not interested in your drink.
I'm not interested in you.
I'm here having a good
time with my husband.
Can you just please leave
me alone by myself, okay?
Thank you.
- Me too.
I am with my girlfriend, and perhaps
So what?
Perhaps we, we can have
a, a little conversation
- Oh.
- Together.
No, I already told you no.
But it's, it's so simple
to have a conversation with
- Gabriel, it's ok.
- Come back.
It's a bit...
They're rough around the edges,
these little tourists.
What's your problem old asshole?
Go fuck yourself!
Leave me alone!
I told you in every way to leave me alone.
Gabriel, it's ok.
Get out of here!
What's with this tone?
I don't understand what you say.
Gabriel, stop!
Wait. I'm talking to her.
Go fuck yourself!
- Wow.
- Oh.
Me, I'm polite.
Oh, you get it now.
Me, I'm polite.
Oh, you get it now.
You didn't get who I am.
Do you recognize me?
Ooh.
Do you recognize me?
Ooh.
Unbelievable.
Now, do you recognize me?
Here we go!
Are you calm now?
Ok?
You know who I am?
Hey, hey, hey.
Are, are, are you a
fucking bearded weirdo?
- Whoa.
- Go away.
Hey, whoa, who, whoa.
Aren't you going to hold that one?
- Go.
- Gabriel.
I just introduced myself.
Get out!
Henri! Henri...
Get the fuck outta here, dude.
What?
He works with Alex.
Yes I know him pretty well.
And we both know each others.
Don't touch me!
Fuck.
Ok.
Can I have my drink back?
- Do you have a problem, asshole?
- I am so sorry, guys.
No problem.
Incredible.
Hello! Doing good?
Yes, I know.
I couldn't call you back before.
I know I said that but,
now I don't have this money.
Don't tell my brother in law.
He won't help me!
What's the point?
What's the point?
No, it's all wrong. Ok?
The gambling debts stories about me,
are fake. Understand?
Ok, ok... it's good.
Ok, I'll bring this on Friday.
Alright. Bye.
You want me to go home then?
Huh?
Do you want me to go home then?
No, it's okay.
We'll go, all right.
- No, no, no, no.
- Yeah.
- Gonna wait.
- Thank you.
What's going on?
I'll spank him.
You should, you should go.
What?
What's your problem?
Pisses me off.
Mind your own fucking business.
There's no one fucking else in the bar,
and then that fucking guy
comes and talks to you?
I'm, I'm sorry.
I was
- No, it's okay.
- Pissed, sorry.
- Yelled a little.
- It's all right.
Sorry, but I was very, very angry.
No, you gotta defend yourself.
You gotta bring the claws out.
That's what these guys are for.
I'm surprised you didn't
scratch up his face,
tear off the fucking fake beard.
Oh, I would love that.
Yeah.
Go.
Just fucking rattle him up.
I wasn't worried about you.
I wasn't worried about you for a second.
- I was fine.
- I knew you had
it under control.
- Yeah, but it's annoying.
I know it's annoying.
I know it's annoying.
- Yeah.
You know, I'm just glad you
didn't pull out the knife.
- Yeah, well.
- That would've been bad.
Then, you go to jail.
- My knife?
Yeah, which pocket do you keep it in?
Is it this one?
Stop it, give me a second.
What?
It's Anita.
Anita.
I have to answer.
Say hi!
- Yeah.
Yes, yes.
I'll be right back. Ok?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go, go, go.
Anita, how are you?
Give me two seconds.
Please.
3 seconds, 3 seconds...
Now it's ok. How are you?
Good and you?
No worries.
I know you're at work.
I couldn't wait.
I did the test.
In the toilets of a bar.
Guess! Otherwise, I wouldn't call you.
Yeah!
I'm pregnant. Yes.
No I haven't told him yet.
We're out, in a bar.
And he's a little drunk.
And he had problems at work.
I couldn't find the
right moment to tell him.
No.
No, but I think I'll tell him tomorrow...
You're ok my man?
You have a good ass.
- Ow.
Shit.
- That hurt.
- Almost broke my hand.
- Oh, man.
- Whoo.
Yay.
Does he spank you like that?
Oh, yes, he does.
Yes, he does.
Get this man a shot of vodka.
Vodka.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
And chain him to the bar
so that he stops fucking wandering off
without notice.
- Vodka and wine.
- Vodka and wine.
You're fucking insane.
I love your style.
- Breakfast of champions.
- I love your style, man.
- Mm-hmm.
Desperate times call
for desperate measures.
Oh, I love it.
You having a good time?
Having a great time.
Okay, come on.
Let's have a toast.
- A toast.
- To friends.
- Yep.
- Family.
- Mm-hmm.
And love, whatever it is.
Gorgeous.
Oh, shit me, whoo, oh, yes.
Whoo.
- Okay.
- Are you ready
to make me a happy man or what?
- In a second.
- Oh, come on.
In a second, please,
please, please, please.
- You're fucking with me.
- No, no, no.
- No.
- I need to check
something first, okay?
- All right, okay.
- Okay, thank you.
All right.
See... The 2 Americans are at the bar.
Keep a discreet eye on them.
And if Henri asks questions,
don't tell him anything.
Alright?
Got it?
And come see me in 2 minutes.
Why are you looking at them?
Who?
The couple there.
The Americans?
Yes.
Alex asked to keep an eye on them.
Really?
And why?
You want to know?
Yeah.
Come closer.
I don't know.
He didn't tell me.
By the way, I have to go see him.
Keep an eye on them.
Julie.
Julie!
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
Just a couple of problems, to deal with.
Really?
Yes.
Did you go visit our father yesterday?
I told you I'll go see him on Friday.
It's been three weeks already.
Do you get it?
I already told you that
I'll go see him on Friday.
What's up with the couple at the bar?
They're just clients and,
the guy is often here.
Are they looking for trouble?
No.
Why?
Nothing.
Alex wants to see you.
- He wants to see me?
- Go!
Now.
There!
Sit down!
I don't have enough time.
I need to talk to you.
First...
I have a question for you.
Who do you think I am?
What are you talking about?
Why did you bring only 50?
I cut it as you told me.
You think I'm stupid?
No.
You know how to count?
Yeah.
I gave you 300 grams of pure.
And I didn't charge you.
I've already given you 50.
What else is there to understand?
Pietro!
Pietro, come here!
I'm an idiot.
You've already given 50.
'What else is there to understand?' Fuck!
Come!
You see! Him
with his... fancy tattoos.
He's the only one to be treated this way.
Not even you.
My... brother.
No.
Only him.
Do you know why?
Because he is my fucking brother-in-law.
Fuck...
And yet, he can't stop trying to fuck me.
He can't help it.
I've already given you 50.
Henri.
You know we're family.
Yes, I know.
And when we're family,
we don't fuck each other over.
I know that too.
When I gave the dope,
I told you can do whatever you wanted.
The 300 grams, you could cut them
any way you wanted.
I didn't give a fuck.
But, the deal wasn't 50.
So... Where's the rest?
Are you gambling again?
I'm done with that.
How much did you lose?
That's ancient history.
It's not what I was told.
I don't gamble anymore.
Henri...
I'm trying to help you here.
How much did you lose?
I don't gamble anymore!
So, what did you do with it?
Where's the rest?
Ok... I'll tell you.
I got 70 out of it
and then took my margin...
And worst of all,
it wasn't all that pure.
'It wasn't all that pure.'
It wasn't all that pure.
It wasn't all that pure!
Let me go!
Alex, calm down.
- Sit down!
- Alex, calm down.
He breaks my balls.
Shut the fuck up!
You, shut the fuck up!
The Americans are drunk?
The guy, yes. Her, no.
You'll make the call.
And when he comes out,
if he does
you send them.
Ok.
And
while you're at it,
get rid of the asshole and the girl.
Hello.
Hello!
It's ok, he can come.
He's high as usual,
he can fuck it up at any moment.
Yeah, yes.. I handle him.
No worries.
Alright! Ming...
I want his cut.
Very good.
Come on. Let's go.
We're closing.
I have an appointment with Alex...
He can't see you.
I know he's downstairs.
I can wait for him.
He's ill. He asked me
to send everyone away.
- Ok. Let's go.
- But we can wait...
You have 2 minutes to get out
with your prey. Ok "Gandalf"?
Ok. Alright.
Let's go.
Come.
Get the fuck outta here, man.
You did the call?
I called him.
All good?
Send the Americans in 2 minutes.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
- Hey.
- Ah.
My American friends.
What's going on?
You okay? Welcome.
- Finally, in my happy place.
- Thank you.
Ah, you okay?
I'm really sorry, mate.
- Thanks.
I kept you waiting, but I
had a bit of a family issue.
I'm really sorry.
- All right.
Sounded like it.
- Okay?
So how do you, you like it?
What do you think?
It's my happy place.
- It's nice, isn't it?
- Nice.
- Right?
- Right.
So what are you up to?
Hey, we are up to drinks, more drinks
- Yeah.
- Some more drinks
- Yeah.
- And just getting the party
- I was-

Hoping for that.
Okay, come on.
Let's get the party started, baby.
Upgraded.
Come on, let's have a drink.
Let's have a drink.
- Let's do it.
Yeah.
- Yay.
So I have whiskey, vodka, tequila.
No, don't say a word, motherfucker.
I know you're like me,
a whiskey guy, right?
You know what?
At this point
I mean,
you don't give a shit anymore.
- It's all the same.
- Vodka, wine.
- No, no, no.
It's all the fucking same.
Eva, the same, right?
- Eva, uh, just one, please.

Okay, the same it is.

And there you go.

Oh, that's very kind of you.
Do you mind if I

Enjoy yourself.
Uh, that's a great guy you have here.
Yeah, I know.
It's funny, though, because it's almost

Maybe from another life.
Who knows?
So what do you think?
Nice, isn't it?

I mean, he's a very smart kid.
I'm paying for his studies

Miscommunication here.
You're a smart man.
You know exactly what you said.
So what's so fucking funny about it?

Eva, how long have you been in Paris?
Uh, three years.

Oh, wow, and I guess you came together
at the same time, right?
- Yes, we did.
- On the same fucking plane.
- Yes, at the same time.
- As well?
- Yep.

See, I love those stories.
You should tell me more about you guys.
No, man, let's go.
We got, we gotta go.

I know, I'm sorry, sweetheart,

I'm not asking

Say hi, Pietro.

You fucking pranking me?
This is not
fucking funny, dude.
Oh, you're gonna laugh my friend.
You're gonna laugh.
Is this money?
You want more fucking money?
- Money, money, money,
money, what money?
Where, where, where, where, where?
So what, what is this?
You said you like
twist, so wait for it
But for the moment
It's time to have a drink
What the fuck are you doing?
Oh, Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo.
You fucking underestimated me,
pretty much like everyone else
'cause you see,
not only I'm a fucking A-grade student,
but I'm also a freaking artist.
And you have no idea the
shit I can put together.
I don't know what the fuck
you're talking about, man.
Sound crazy to me, dude.
Oh, yes, I am, I am.
Ah, you know what?
I mean, you're a fucking jerk.
I mean, you must admit
that you're a fucking jerk.
But I like you.
I like you, yeah.
You surprise me all the time.
You're full of surprises.
I know you love.
- I thought we were
fucking friends.
I thought we were-
Oh, yeah.
- Fucking friends.
- Oh, yes, we are.
Yes, we are.
Don't worry about that.
I mean-
This is bullshit, man.
Let's-
I love you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wait for it.
There is the twist.
Nice work, Alex.
I know.
Wait, who the fuck is that?
What the fuck are you doing here?
Miss me, Eva?
Wait, wait, how do
you, you, you know this guy?
Who the fuck is this?
So how is Paris treating you?
Oh, we can either chat,
or I can leave you here
with Alex and his friend.
What the fuck do you want?
What do I want?
What, you didn't think
I would come for you?
Wait, wait.
What is fucking going on here, guys?
What is going on?
Okay, let, let,
let me handle it, okay?
Let me handle it.
You don't know
about her hacking activities?
I'm sorry, her, her what?
You were right.
He didn't know, Alex.
She took from me around 250 bitcoins.
Bitcoins? What the fuck?
Jim, right?
Eva was head of my IT department
in my import company, Solipo.
Rings a bell?
You worked for him?
Oh, yeah, she was also a hacker
for an anarchist group named VigiHats.
They're hacktivists.
Man, what?
She took my money to finance
their anarchist cause or whatever.
You took it back.
But that
doesn't answer the fact
that you stole from me.
And for the record, I took
back only what you all took.
Okay, guys, hang on.
Hold the fuck on.
What the fuck is he talking about?
Tell me what the fuck is going on.
Jim, listen to me!
Listen to me!
I fucked up, I fucked up...
but it was before.
More than 5 years ago.
Before we came to Paris.
This is fucking real?
This is fucking real? Oh my god!
Alex, empty their
bags and check what is inside.
You know what happened
to VigiHats Jim?
It just became another
criminal enterprise.
Maybe she's taking advantage of your work
and stealing information
and money for them.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Jim, Jim
- Oh, please.
- No, that's not true.
Well, it was even, I, I quit everything.
I quit everything.
No, no, no, no...
Don't look at me this way.
Hey, hey.
Okay, just, just give me,
give me a fucking second, okay?
This will need your work
computer to access the bank.
And then you will wire me $20 million.
Alex here will give you
all the bank details.
I'm sorry.
Are you fucking serious?
- Mm-hmm.
You want me to
just wire you $20 million?
I can't fucking do that.
So what hurts more, that or Eva's lies?
- Fuck you.
- Okay.
You are very
welcome, but right now,
I kinda need you to cooperate.
You don't understand.
I can't physically do it.
There are security checks at every level.
I'm sure you'll
find a way to bypass them.
I found something.
Oh, I see congratulations are in order.
Oh, you didn't know again?
She's hiding a lot of
things from you, Jimmy.
Shut up!
Jim, this was what I
wanted to tell you before.
- Wait, wait.
- We were in the park.
Wait, wait, wait.
Sh, sh, sh.
- You didn't,
you didn't let me do-
Shut up.
Is this for real?
- Yeah, I did it an hour ago.
- Are you fucking
with me right now?
- Jim.
- Are you fucking
with me right now?
Fuck.
But, Jim, I tried to tell you before.
- Oh, fuck.
- Drama, drama, drama.
Oh, fuck.
I would hate it if he hurts Eva
or, even worse, the baby.
Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, hey, man.
Hey, listen.
Put the fucking gun down, right?
Hey, tell him to put the
fucking gun down, Alex.
Sh.
- Put the fucking gun down.
- Okay, good, five minutes.
Then, we're all out of here.
Alex, wanna have a drink?
Okay, uh.
Hey, uh, do you understand
that, if I do this,
I'm done, right?
My career is over.
They'll know it's me, and I
will go to fucking jail, right?
You know that.
Not my fucking problem.
And don't make me hurt her, 20 million.
Let's go.
Alex will follow everything you do.
You're gonna take your phone,
call Fred, and put him on speaker.
Hey, I'm doing it, all right?
Tell the fucking gorilla
to put a gun down.
Okay.
Hello.
Hey, what's up, buddy?
How's it going?
Still online,
I'm fucking barely awake.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Gateway connection all fixed?
Everything looking good?
Yeah, all fine,
everything is great, man.
No worries.
- That's great, man.
That's great.
We're good.
Jim?
- Hey, uh, Fred.
I wanna get in there, and, uh,
I wanna take a closer look.
Right now?
I need you to grant me
access to the live platform.
It's fucking late, man.
No, I know, man.
I know it's late.
Hey, you know I'm a
fucking night owl, man.
Listen, I just wanna
cover my own ass, okay?
Man, I need the security guys
or Andrew to validate it.
- I know.
- I can't.
I know, buddy.
Just please, just do his
solid this one time, okay?
Man.
Okay.
All right, great.
I'm sending you the security
- Okay.
- Request now.
Can this wait, please?
Got it.
Two days?
Give me two fucking days.
This is way too obvious.
Done.
Like I said,
not my fucking problem.
- Jim.
Jim.
Unmute it.
- Are you here, Jim?
- Now.
Jim, man, are you here?
Right, right, right.
Jim.
Fucking man.
Yeah, I'm in, man.
Okay.
I'll let you know when I'm done.
Talk to you later.
Bye!
Alex.
I'll take it from here.
Good.
Quick question.
Do you want a little boy or a little girl?
You're such a bitch.
Oh, finally, you're looking at me.
You've always been a bitch.
Watch your mouth.
I don't need to
watch my fucking mouth.
I owe you nothing.
Oh, yes you do.
All those years I showed you how it works.
I, I made you.
I trusted you, and you betrayed me.
Because you deserved it.
Son of a bitch!
Let me go. Motherfucker.
Let me go!
Hey, Hey.
Let go of her, man.
Let the fucking hand-
What's going on?
Take your fucking hand off her.
Sh.
Pietro, go check!
Where are we?
Only gonna take a couple of minutes.
What the fuck?
What the fuck was that?
Alex?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Henri! What are you doing?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Henri! What are you doing?
Don't move, son of a bitch!
Calm down!
Fuck your mother!
I am an associate of Ming.
What the fuck are you doing?
Holy fucking shit, man.
Oh, fuck.
Henri.
You did great, Henri!
Henri, are you ok?
It'll be fine. It's over.
Julie.
There's no time. We must hurry.
You and Henri,
take the Americans to the cellar.
I'll take care of the rest.
Henri.
Henri, listen to me.
Go with your sister!
Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Listen to me.
Look at me.
Look at me. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Just shut the fuck up
and follow them, okay?
- All right, okay, okay.
- Come on, hurry up.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Come on, go, go.
Don't fuck me over, like Pietro!
