Let's go.

- What did you do?
- Let's go, dammit!

I told you I was a bad boy.

Did that soldier hurt you?

- Go home.
- What about you?

Don't worry about me.

- Do you think he's dead?
- OK, bye now.

You can't just leave me.

What will I tell Mom?

It doesn't matter.

- It does.
- Screw you!

You dragged me into this thing.

You freaking wanted to come.

I didn't think you'd do that!

What will I tell Loriot?

Don't say anything to him.

Or your mother.

Don't even tell them
you were with me.

But I never lie!

Figure it out
and leave me alone.

Fine, I'll think of something.

There you go. Now beat it.

Come on!

When will I see you?

If need be, I'll find you.

I must be able to find you.
What if something goes wrong?

If you need to reach me,
call the 16 in Villeneuve.

Tell George
you have a message for Victor.

- Who's Victor?
- Me.

But you only do it if it's important.

Very important.

- Now please, go.
- Kiss me.

Not like that.

That's the only way I know.

A french town

Servier didn't act alone

Larcher was with him

The four of the maquis

Is it true?

Stop asking for the truth.

You're here to defend us.

To defend you, I'll have to lie.

But I need to know.

Is it true? Yes or no?

Don't answer him.

Mister Larcher,

you swore
that you didn't make that list.

Imagine the effect
a twist would have.

No one can prove anything.

Mr. Larcher...

All rise!

The hearing's resumed.

Please sit down.

The prosecution has the floor
for the indictment.

Your Honor,

we are faced with a new element.

For that matter,

I'm talking about a letter
that many Villeneuvois

received in their mail.

Will this trial
be taken hostage by rumor?

It's not a rumor, it's a real letter.

Like so many others that
were written under the Occupation.

Anonymous letters,
denouncing Resistants and Jews.

Will the Republic dig into
the same filth as the French state?

I would like to question
Daniel Larcher again

on the making of the list.

This is out of procedure.
The testimonies are closed.

The French don't want procedures,

they want the truth!

They want a Republic!

And a republic is based on procedure.

I'm sorry, but the testimonies
are closed. Your Honor...

I have to accept
Maître Lévy's arguments.

Procedure is procedure.

The testimonies are closed
unless further evidence.

And, an anonymous letter,

fortunately
doesn't count as evidence.

Let's move on
to the indictment and pleadings.

- You...
- I have something to say.

Testimonies are closed.

You're not going to keep
your client from answering, are you?

I drew up that list
with Mr. Servier in October 1941.

- Your Honor...
- No, Maître! Don't.

There's no use.
I've decided to speak out.

Order, please!

To speak out, at last.

And no one will stop me.

I made that list.

Or at least, I took part.

I removed a name
and Mr. Servier added another.

It's true.

We probably...
saved ten people that day,

but I knew
it wasn't right to do that.

I was part of so many things
that weren't right...

and allowed so many things
that were wrong.

The 120 Jews at the school.

The 1941 hostages that were executed.

The arrests.

The tortures.

The deportations when I was mayor.

I always thought
all that happened in spite of me,

against me, but...

in hindsight,
and with an obligation to reflect

while I await your verdict,

I see things differently.

I wanted to avoid evil,

and in reality,

I accompanied it.

But I'm not a manipulative monster.

I didn't steal a child,

sent his father to his death,
or inform the Gestapo.

But I...

How to say this?

I...

Yes, I enjoyed taking care of others,

at a time when it was
impossible to do it right.

Maybe it's a mistake
I should pay for.

Yes...

I collaborated...

between 1940 and 1942,

because the Marshal, Head of State,

appointed by Parliament,

had asked us to...

And also because I thought
I could do good to others.

I erred on the side of pride.

I felt superior to others

and therefore

- and because of my position -
I let injustices

and even horrors happen.

But...

The Armistice and Marshal
were the only solution

in everyone's eyes!

I challenge anyone to deny this.

I was asked to be there.

So I was there.

Back then, people were happy
that I was there.

So, yes,

I helped make that list.

Yes, I lied about it

and I will take
the consequences as you decide.

I'm not...

a traitor...

a monster or a manipulator.

I'm just a man...

who may have been wrong
about himself.

Thank you for listening.

Honesty has no place
in a court of law, Mr. Larcher.

But it feels really good.

The prosecutor's going
to crush you.

I thought you'd chicken out.

So you followed him
and shot him down?

- Yes.
- He didn't spot you?

He was with his girlfriend.

- Did she see you?
- Of course she did.

- Would she recognize you?
- What do you mean?

Couldn't you wait until he was alone?

I would've stood no chance.

He knew me.
He would've seen me coming.

Now the chick
will give your description.

I think it's fishy.

Then what?

We take Gus down
because he might rat us out?

- I didn't say that.
- You implied it.

It took balls to gun Tom down.

Gus is legit. He's paid his dues.

There are morals in our profession.

You have to learn them quick.

Right.

You better hide out.

- Do you have a place?
- Only for a couple of days.

- And then?
- We'll see.

Perfect. We'll check in with you

in three days.

You dare to say
that the Armistice and the Marshal

were the only solution in 1940
in everyone's eyes?

The only solution?

What a confession!

I'm not following you.

You've heard
of a certain General de Gaulle,

all the same?

I mean the people
who stayed in mainland France.

De Gaulle was far away

and in 1940-1941,
no one knew who he was.

At least not in Villeneuve.

My client's statement
is a new element.

I must rethink my defense strategy.

I will thus request a recess
so I can call other witnesses.

It's a delaying tactic.

A moment ago,

it was you who claimed
to have something new.

I must say...

Maître Lévy scores a point.

In that case,

I demand that he be
incarcerated immediately.

For what reason?

Only today, he told us that he sent
Communists to the firing squad

with Servier.

That makes him
an accessory to murder.

What will he say tomorrow?

His right to counsel...

He may flee
to Switzerland or elsewhere.

In fact, his voluntary appearance
was a mistake,

given the seriousness
of the charges.

The prosecution therefore
requests his incarceration

until the verdict.

Thank you.

Where did you get the chicken?
Do you work miracles?

- You should ask Lucienne.
- Ah!

In the black market.

The black market?

It's over since the Liberation.

Thank you for having us, madam,

especially at this time.

Better than a meeting.

To the future mayor!

- That's a bit hasty.
- Life is short, Raymond.

Can I call you Raymond?

- You don't drink?
- No alcohol.

Painful wisdom.

You don't get help?

She doesn't like getting help.
A real housewife.

Me too, and I have staff.

I don't have your means, Jeannine.

About the election, Berthier,
vice-president of the CDL,

is running, too.

But he's too much of a Resistant.

You saw what happened.

The voters want to move on.

The only problem is the Bolsheviks.

There are more and more of them,

but they flirted with the Krauts
until June 1941.

It's amazing how people
have a short memory!

It's not always a bad thing.

I'll get you some bread.

- And more wine.
- You spoil us!

You're breaking our agreement.

You didn't like the chicken?

Let's keep up appearances.
I want to see a lovely wife,

not a depressing prison guard!

I'm doing my best.

Maybe I should start
sending anonymous letters.

I'm sure you'd excel at that.

And here it is.

This whole Marcel Larcher St. thing
is a pain.

The Bolsheviks will commemorate
the anniversary of his death

on November 12 or 13.

You knew him.

He was a supervisor at my company.

A little strict, but a good guy.

The opposite of me.

To announce Raymond's candidacy,

we would need a similar ceremony
to oppose them,

a commemoration
for the non-communist resistance.

We could have a ceremony
on the 1944 hangings.

Oh, no. That would be too creepy.
It won't make people vote.

Besides, September just passed.

Tell me,
at the march of November 11, 1943

were there any communists?

It was organized by Antoine,
head the maquis. So, yes, probably.

I was on the move.

And I was at the secret committee.

There was a maquis from the FTP.

You were there?

I saw the march from my window.

She's being modest.
She sabotaged the Krauts' station.

She nearly got caught.

A fine cook
and a hero of the Resistance!

- You married the perfect woman.
- I know.

So the communists were there.
That's annoying.

Your chicken is excellent, madam.

Thank you.

What about the sacrifice of the four?

What sacrifice?

Enlighten me.

After the march, someone,
I don't know who,

revealed to the police the hideout
of the maquis Antoine.

The Germans surrounded the maquis,
but most of the fighters ran away

thanks to the sacrifice of four men.

That's great. Did they die?

I suppose they did.

One of them survived.
His nephew was in my class.

He was seriously injured.
He's still in the hospital, I think.

That's perfect for a ceremony.

The sacrifice
of the four of the maquis.

A Gaullist maquis.

Yes, well...
Non-communist, at any rate.

Right now, it's the same.

"The four of the maquis".
Sounds good.

We will announce Raymond's candidacy
at the site of the maquis.

And we're gonna ask for a street too.
The Four of the Maquis Street.

You have to talk to Antoine.
He will obviously agree.

Fantastic.

Wonderful.
Now please, have some wine.

So, to the four of the maquis.

To the four!

What is going on?

Why are you in jail?

It's just for a few days,
until the verdict.

I bet all this is Servier's fault.
He stabbed you in the back.

Servier no longer has any power.
He would never do that.

- You're so naïve.
- Look, I don't want to argue.

I need you to help me.

You know you can count on me.

My attorney says I could use
Marchetti's testimony.

We clashed when the Jews
were arrested, in 1942.

He said I was "an obstacle
to smooth collaboration".

I need him to testify.

But I haven't been
in contact with Jean since...

He's been sentenced to death.

I didn't know.

If his plea for clemency's dismissed,

he will be executed
within a few weeks, or even sooner.

He refused to testify
when my lawyer contacted him.

What else can I do?

If you go see him

and convince him to testify
at my trial, maybe it'll work.

But he's in prison.

The lawyer got me a visitation card.

Why are they doing this to us,
Daniel?

Eat your toast.

I'm not hungry.

Are you sick?

No, I didn't sleep well.

So? What fascinating story
kept you up all night?

An American non-com was shot down.

Who could possibly do such a thing?

We have no leads yet.
We're bogged down.

Right.

- Who goes to the bathroom first?
- Not me.

I need to eat
and maybe have some sleep, too.

Go ahead, darling.

No. You go.

You can't stay in your nightgown.
Where're your manners?

I'm tired.

Precisely,
a shower will wake you up.

Tired at 15...

Only one bucket of water,
so I can have some left.

- Well?
- I know who killed the Yank.

It was Gustave.

She was with him when he shot.

No, it can't be.

The guy's girlfriend was there.

The shooter's description is vague,

but she described
Leonor's sweater, her hairdo,

her sandals.

It's obviously them.

What are we gonna do?

- Send her back to her father's.
- I can't do that.

Christine has beaten her
since she had her baby.

She's an accomplice to murder.

Well, we...

We can burn her clothes
and keep her here for now.

No one will suspect her.

You don't understand.
There's gonna be an investigation.

Leaded by you!

Yes and no.

I'm walking on thin ice.

I released Gustave under
a false pretext. I could go to jail.

Nothing connects Léonore to him.

Except Gustave, if he gets caught.

Then he can't get caught.

Listen...

we've always talked things over,
but now I can't be on your side.

I can't help a murderer,
even if he's Marcel's son.

A murderer?

He killed a filthy soldier.

The war is over, Suzanne.

We don't kill scum anymore.
We arrest them and judge them.

- How was the dinner?
- Excellent.

Chicken was very popular.

- Coffee, Hector?
- No, thanks.

So? Lanzac?

He believes in nothing but force.
I hate people like that.

Concretely, you want to try
to destroy Schwartz?

If I want to have a future,
people must understand

it's either Bériot, or handing
the city to the communists.

If Raymond Schwartz is elected,
I'm over.

And if it's Edmond?

I'll be back in six years.

See you later, Jules.

Léonore!

You know where Gustave is.

No.

I'm his only chance to stay alive.

You must tell us where he is.

I don't know.

He's going to die,

unless you tell me.

Please, Léonore, tell him.

I only have a phone number.

A commemoration? What for?

Everybody celebrates the Resistance.
What's the big deal?

But why "the four of the maquis",
as you call them?

Any other ideas?

If you really want
to have a ceremony,

do it on the march.
It made a difference.

- Doesn't suit us.
- It doesn't "suit" you?

Why would it have to suit you?

She shouldn't have come.

I'm running for mayor.
She's doing my campaign.

You could join us.

No, thank you.

There were communists at the march.

- Everyone was there.
- Including the communists.

We need a ceremony
without communists.

Then I'm out!

No way.
You're the head of the maquis.

Those four men
sacrificed themselves for you.

Antoine!

I will not

take part of a ceremony

on the four of the maquis.

- Antoine...
- At a push,

and to please Raymond,
I'd celebrate the march.

The march is of no use to us.

Is it because
you're the hero of that march?

- Tell her to beat it.
- Watch your tone with me.

Really?

As chief of police,
I had to save your life once.

- But I'm no longer a cop.
- You're my employee now.

Tell her to leave or I'll quit!

Fine, I'm not deaf.

I'll be at home.

- How do we get home?
- Well, you'll walk.

Forgive me, Father,
for I have sinned.

I'm listening, my child.

I wasn't sincere
in my last confessions.

Then be it today.

I often have bad thoughts.

God will judge you, but not me.
Speak freely.

For months I've been wanting
my husband to die.

I've even prayed for that.

Those are bad thoughts, indeed.

Is he a bad husband?

No, it's me. I'm...

a bad mother,

a bad wife, a bad woman.

I've ruined everything.

You're exaggerating.

No. I do everything wrong.

Always, since I was little.

You've given life.

Yes.

There's my little Françoise.

Then you didn't do everything wrong.

Except for her, I did.

Why are you so hard on yourself?

Because I'm aware.

I am a bad person,

a failure.

The Lord doesn't fail.

He failed me.

Lucienne, for the last year
that you've come to confess,

I have got to know you.

God didn't fail you.
You have a bad image of yourself,

and that's what you've got to change.

I won't make it.

That image
is getting worse and worse.

I see only one way out.

I'm listening, my child.

I'm going to end my life.

It's ridiculous!

Four guys sacrificing themselves
is ridiculous?

Even I think it's beautiful.

When I say four, I mean three.
One's still alive.

- One didn't die?
- Apparently.

- Which one?
- We don't know yet.

He won't be able to talk.
He's in hospital.

Why won't you help me?
What do you care?

It's the story of the maquis
I created and guided.

It's important. I was able to
create it thanks to my history books.

We'll talk about your maquis
and how you ran it.

You'll make a nice speech.

I lent you money, I gave you a job.
You're pushing it!

Did you buy the ring?

Yes.

Is it pretty?

Fine.

I'll do it.

But on two conditions:

I want to know go see the survivor.

And I don't want Jeannine involved.
It's non-negotiable!

A traitor should not
celebrate the Resistance.

End of story.

No one can give or take life
except God.

- Don't you know that?
- I do.

But I can't go on.

You need to regain strength
in prayer and meditation,

give your life a new meaning
thanks to your daughter.

I had her with a German soldier.

It doesn't matter. Love, childhood,
all that has no boundaries.

You'll pay for your sins
in due time,

but you have to promise me something.

- Are you listening?
- Yes.

I want you to reread the Gospels,

focusing on Peter
and his denial of the rooster's crow.

The holiest of men
have committed terrible faults,

but they have understood them,

atoned for them
and forgiven themselves.

Do you promise to read
and come back to discuss it?

- Yes. I promise.
- When will you come?

I don't know.

- Tomorrow, maybe.
- Yes. Tomorrow.

After Mass. I'm counting on you.

Until then, you will say

your prayers twice tonight, slowly.

Do you understand
you have to do penance?

Yes.

For a real penance,
you need a true conscience.

Do you understand that, too?

Yes. I think.

Go in peace, my child.

I was surprised you wanted to see me.

Daniel wanted me to see you.

Times change.

Yes.

How does it feel to know
you're gonna die soon?

I don't know.

I feel... I feel nothing.

It's hard to believe.

We're not meant
to believe we're gonna die,

especially when it's so soon.

I'm hungry and thirsty,
I think of the people I love.

Life goes on.

I wish there was something
I could do for you.

Tell me how you're doing.

But really.

I haven't talked to anyone
in a long time.

I'm fine.

But I can't talk to people anymore.

Everybody looks at me.

They stare like I have leprosy.

I've never felt this lonely,

except when I was a kid.

When my father came back from war...

What about Müller?

He got by fine.

But he's out of my life.

You want to do something for me?

Yes.

Tell me...

Tell me what you felt
for me in 1940,

before Müller.

I don't understand.
I thought you got that Jewess...

You even had a child together,
didn't you?

Yes, but...

I'm talking about you, not her.

You, mi first.

Your first what?

My first woman...

who wasn't a prostitute.

That's nice.

The important thing is...
What did you feel for me?

Come on, what was it?

What was it? Was it love?

Was it tenderness?

Really, I don't remember.

You said Daniel asked you to come.

Yes.

He needs you to testify at his trial.

You're getting annoying.

His lawyer, Maître Lévy,
has connections.

He could get you anything.

- Lévy?
- Yes.

He knows everybody.

Then maybe he could find my Jewess,
as you say.

Her name's Rita Wittemberg,
with two Ts.

She was in France two weeks ago,
in Besançon.

She didn't answer my letter, so...

Get me my Jewess, and I'll testify.

But it's gonna take too long!

You have to testify
before knowing she will come.

I promise I'll do my best.

Tell me what you felt for me.

I can tell you what I feel now.

Please, go on.

Friendship.

The little prick doesn't want me?

Who does he think he is?

The head of the maquis
we'll be celebrating.

You think this is funny.

No. I need you
in this nest of vipers.

You rarely say you need me.

With the others, I always feel
I'm doing something stupid.

I'm not cut out to be mayor.

Have you lost your balls?

Of course you're cut out to be mayor!
You just have to want it.

You're comfortable in this.

It's too bad you can't be mayor.

I'd stand no chance.

I will always be Mrs. Chassagne
in Villeneuve politics.

Maybe it's just as well
if you don't come.

Maybe.

- But that idiot needs training.
- He's a good guy.

Sure...

Right.

Tell him that you managed,
with great difficulty,

to convince not to come,

provided that

his militia whore
doesn't show up either.

For fuck's sake...

Raymond.

Quit tormenting yourself!
It'll be a nice ceremony.

They didn't sacrifice themselves.
We sacrificed them.

- It's the same thing!
- Are you kidding me?

It won't make any difference today.

They were fighters.
They died at the maquis.

The rest is just details.

Plus, we didn't sacrifice them.

They were screwed.

And you know that.

I still dropped that rope.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

Hello. I'm looking for a patient,
Thierry Grand.

Thierry Grand...

There, with the nurse.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello, Thierry.

It's been a while.

How are you, Thierry?

He doesn't speak.

I mean, since he got here.

How long ago?

A year.

- What's the problem?
- A bullet in his head.

The doctors couldn't remove it.

It did a lot of damage.

We don't know how exactly.
No one's going to look.

He doesn't walk either.

It could be a brain injury
or a psychiatric issue.

Here.

Do you remember me?

Antoine.

Head of the maquis.

I'm here with Anselme.
Do you remember him?

He doesn't recognize anyone,

not even his mom
when she came to see him.

Swallow, Thierry.

I'm sorry about what happened.

Don't talk bullshit.

You know,
there's gonna be a big party,

and you'll be the hero.

I mean, the four of you.

You,

Claude... and the other two.

Claude...

If anything happens to him, I'll die.

You've known him for 3 days.

It's not fair that you say that.

You said you and Marcel
fell in love at first sight.

We all sugarcoat stories.

The first time,
Marcel was running away.

He bumped into me
outside a mailroom.

I saw he was hiding leaflets,
so I took them,

but I barely looked at him.

The real first time happened later,

when he came to the post office.

He opened the door, and...

It was love at first sight.

No. 16 in Villeneuve

is a booth in a cafe.

- Did he say anything else?
- No. He just gave me that number.

Alright.

I'm gonna drop by.

Don't hurt him.

He killed a man yesterday.
He's dangerous.

Deep inside, he has a good heart.

You're gonna have to dig real deep.

I'm gonna see a colleague
who works on the black market.

He might have a few tips.

- Take care.
- Of who?

- Gustave or myself?
- Both.

And you're fine with it?

Genevieve, it's a commemoration
of the Resistance.

You still wanna get married?

You doubt that?

How's it gonna be when we're married?

You won't invite any Resistants,
or you'll go out without me?

- Are you ashamed of me?
- No!

This is a strategy
to launch Raymond's career.

I told him I didn't want Jeannine.

- You compare me to Jeannine?
- Not me!

Yes, since you're OK
with me not coming.

Would you have wanted to come?

To a commemoration
with all the Resistance fighters?

Like those who killed your brother?

One of them is sleeping next door,

and I didn't make a fuss.

Listen...

We can be in love,

we can get engaged today
and start a family.

But we won't forget what happened.

What happened?

- It's the Americans, for milk.
- Need help?

No, thank you.

What did he want?

He wanted to give me
an amethyst he found.

What did you tell him?

That in France, an engaged woman
cannot accept gifts.

"Secrecy is a necessity
for a revolutionary activist.

"He must prepare.

"An activist must cut off ties
with his entourage,

"friends and family,

"in order to carry out
the tasks assigned by the party".

Well I never!

You're well settled!

Like a rat.

- Are you hungry?
- No.

I'm just bored.

Right. You'll have
to leave Villeneuve for a while.

It's getting ugly here.

You didn't know that
when you asked me to kill Tom?

- You give Jérôme advice?
- Quiet.

He's right.

I didn't think of the consequences.

Tom was a snitch,
I acted like a family man.

Maybe I was wrong,
but it's done now.

And I'm responsible for you.

He's got train tickets, money,
and instructions for you.

Alright now.

I have to go.
I've got people to see.

Are you happy?

You managed to become Jérôme's pet?

- Give me the tickets.
- Your gun.

How did you know
Tom was the snitch?

- What does it matter to you?
- I need to know.

He bragged about it
to a friend of mine.

- Are you satisfied?
- No.

He would've never bragged.

Now that I think,

if he was the snitch,

he wouldn't have reacted
the way he did.

He would've run off,
or shot me right away.

Which means that...

the snitch was you.

It's gonna be so much fun
