Original subtitles

Jérémy, thank you for coming.

It makes me feel good to see you, you know.

It really hurts. I loved him very much, you know.

Yes, I know. Come.

Do you want to see him?

Here.

A child of the land, son of a farmer,

Jean-Pierre left early to learn the baker's trade.

He devoted his life to giving us bread.

He liked telling me it was his calling.

Jean-Pierre loves you, and I'm speaking in the present tense,

because love, never forget it, is eternal.

We Christians believe that death is not the end.

We believe it is only a passage to that kingdom of love and light.

Beloved brothers and sisters, thank you for coming in such numbers.

Thank you, Jean-Pierre, you who are now before our Lord,

intercede for your dear wife, for your dear son

and intercede for our community.

We need love so much.

Thank you, Jean-Pierre.

Well, I'll go.

Come on.

Goodbye.

Good evening.

Goodbye.

Well, we won't be very long either.

Have you finished your game?

Kylian?

You're going back to Toulouse?

Yeah.

You're not getting in the car now?

With all you've drunk?

It's okay, I can get back to Toulouse, right.

Well, it's still a long way.

You have to get back this evening? someone is waiting for you?

There's always Vincent's room, you can sleep there.

Well, I mean, I don't want to intervene.

If you think I want to stay alone and mope, you're wrong.

Your pad hasn't changed?

Did you get married?

No.

Do you have any children?

Me neither.

But you've got a girlfriend?

Yeah, but it's not looking good, we're breaking up.

Anyway, she's not been sleeping at home for a few days now.

Are you OK?

But it hasn't been going for very long.

How long?

Three years.

Well, almost four.

Do you remember when we stayed at Yam's all night?

Oh, it wasn't all night.

We sometimes stayed there late.

How about we play a game and then I'll go?

No, I don't really feel like it.

Maybe we'll go back down to see your mother?

Look how beautiful he was there.

When was that?

A year ago.

The disease hadn't manifested yet.

Hello.

Hello.

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

Did you sleep well?

Yes, very well.

And you?

I didn't sleep a wink.

What do you want for breakfast?

I'll just have coffee.

Is anyone there?

What do you want?

I wanted to see you when you were alone.

Why did you want to see me?

We saw each other a bit at the time.

We didn't see each other much.

You were rather solitary.

And I liked you.

Want to go for a drink sometime?

Ah, why not.

Now?

It's already 11 a.m., I have an errand to run

I need to go go before they close.

We can have a drink afterwards

I'd rather do it another time.

Well, okay.

Will you be around for a while?

I don't know.

I like being here.

Do you know if the cep mushrooms are out?

Oh, yeah.

There should be quite a few, eh.

From how much it rained.

Maybe I'll go this afternoon.

Well, see you later.

Come on.

You won't find any ceps today.

Not until the moon changes.

When will it change?

I don't know, I haven't looked.

Have you finished work already?

Still going, what time do I start?

I don't know, what time?

Five o'clock.

Oh yeah, that's early.

I went to see Walter, he told me you'd been to see him.

You liked Walter, didn't you?

Okay, I got the impression that you hated him.

What made you think that?

I don't know, didn't you hate it when I went to see him?

You didn't understand why I spent so much time with him.

Oh really?

Yeah.

I don't know, maybe you were a little jealous.

That he wanted to keep me all to himself.

You could take it, couldn't you?

Show me if you're still as nimble.

Is that how you look for mushrooms?

No, I'm not looking for anything, I don't have time, it's him.

Look what I found.

Oh, aren't they beautiful?

Well, I'll leave you to it, I'm going to pick up Kylian.

What were you fighting over?

Nothing, we were just having fun.

I hope it had nothing to do with Walter.

What makes you think that?

Are you going to be staying a long time?

I don't know.

Martine's glad you're here.

Maybe she wants to be alone.

I don't think so, that's not her style.

She likes you a lot.

Wouldn't you like to start again here?

I spent a long time at the industrial bakery.

I've lost my touch a bit.

I'm bothering you with my stories.

You probably want to go back to Toulouse.

I can stay.

Tonight?

Even for a few days.

I've always liked this village. I'd like to stay a while.

And I'll think about the bakery.

It's been closed for three months.

People have gotten into the habit of buying bread in Villeneuve now.

But I've heard it's not very good.

And fifteen kilometers to get house paint.

Well yes, he buys it straight from Leclerc, like the others.

Don't you think so?

No.

Well, the days when every village had its own bakery are over.

We don't even have a café anymore.

Will you work a little in summer?

Well, you can do odd jobs.

Well, do what you want, anyway.

Can you be realistic? It's not possible.

Yeah.

Okay, Kylian, shall we go?

Oh!

Are you coming?

Bye.

And you say goodbye?

OK.

Maybe we'll go get something to eat.

You really don't mind me staying?

Not at all.

Jérémy? Is that you?

Yes?

What are you doing?

I was thirsty.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I wanted to see you before I go to work.

You really want to take over the bakery?

I don't know. No, I don't think so.

It'd be good not to give my mother any illusions, OK?

I didn't say anything, it's...

Why are you staying here?

That's got nothing to do with it.

Yeah?

Do you like my mom?

Yeah. Yeah, but...

I've got to go to work.

Good morning.

Vincent had to leave. You just missed him.

It's mainly you I've come to see.

Get me a drink?

Come on, come in.

Pastis okay or would you prefer beer?

No, a pastis is fine.

Well, come in.

Oh dear.

Do you live alone in this big house?

Yeah.

Have you ever been married?

No.

You know, it's always been complicated with women.

Your parents still alive?

They died when I was 5 hours old.

They died young?

Not so young.

We don't live too long here.

And you?

I've still got my parents.

And you're still not married?

Vincent told me.

Oh, are you both talking about me?

What's your problem?

The heat.

Shall I top you up?

Come on.

Do you work on the farm?

I've stopped now.

And how do you make a living?

You know, I don't need much.

I don't pay rent, I don't go on vacation.

And you don't get bored?

I didn't have enough land.

I had to modernize, go into debt.

What do you have to do to work like an fool?

Do you think it's worth it?

Did you find any cep mushrooms?

I'm not good at it.

You don't have to be good at it.

You just have to stare at the ground.

It's like everything else.

You just have to enjoy that.

Come on.

Everyone's over in the corner, you don't need him, do you?

What if he's the one I want to see?

Can't you see he's taking advantage of your loneliness?

What are you getting at?

What's he telling to you to stay?

He's asking me if he can stay.

And you don't ask yourself any questions?

Well, of course I ask myself questions, but come on...

You see...

There's no need to throw him out.

Vincent!

Vincent, calm down.

Vincent!

But Vincent, calm down, nobody's doing anything wrong.

Are you leaving?

What are you doing here?

I was out for a walk, I just arrived.

Oh yeah, you weren't listening through the doors by any chance?

Vincent!

Enough!

Vincent!

I couldn't sleep.

Me neither.

Do you want a whisky?

Yes.

Were you looking at the photos?

I was wondering, did you keep the negatives?

Hmm. Why?

I'd like a copy of a photo.

Oh well, yes, I must have it somewhere.

Which one?

You always loved him?

Yes.

Even after all this time?

Yes. I can't stop thinking about him.

And you never got chance to tell him?

No.

Jérémy!

Jérémy, open up!

Are you okay? Aren't you sick of locking the key in my room?

You sound like a child.

Do you stay at your mother's every night?

Yeah, it's my house, as much as it's hers.

In any case, more than yours, so I was glad you were only staying one night.

Two at a pinch, but you're not going to settle in.

That's not for you to decide.

It's in your eyes, you're not very subtle, you know.

What can you see in my eyes?

That you want to sleep with my mother.

I've always seen that in your eyes.

Will you let me go now?

Your mom invites whoever she wants over.

Oh, because you feel invited?

Yes.

That's not what she told me.

Go fuck yourself.

You're going to get your things,

clear out your stuff and quietly go back to Toulouse, okay?

Okay?

No.

Here, try this one instead.

Ah, very good.

You don't even need to adjust the hem.

Good.

Everything else should be fine.

Could you also lend me some underpants and socks?

I'll go and see, I think I have some new ones.

I'm still here.

Damn, you're completely...

It was to show you I can be better than you at surprise parties.

Stop pissing me off.

Visits in the night, even in the forest.

Otherwise I'll do what I want to you whenever I want, got it?

Got it?

Ok.

I understand.

I understand.

Perfect.

You're lucky I don't have time.

I have to go to work.

That's right, to work.

You're up early.

I couldn't sleep.

I went for a walk.

You also an early riser?

You know, it's routine for me.

I have a mass at the other side of town.

In two hours.

Would you like to come for a coffee?

No thanks, I'm going to go back to bed.

I feel sleepy.

Then I wish you a good night.

And have a nice day.

Hey, take it easy.

I'm starting to feel full up.

Come on, we're having a good time together.

For my part, I wouldn't be upset if you took it on.

But I'm not sure it's possible.

Of course it's possible.

You'd get all the customers from Bournazel and even Orocobrune.

Especially since the bread in Villeneuve isn't so good.

Yeah, but people today, don't care, they freeze it.

Huh? Well, no. They still like fresh bread.

Have you seen the queues in front of the bakeries on Sunday mornings?

But still.

Shh.

It's Vincent. Go on.

I don't want to see you here drinking.

Here. Have a drink.

Oh hi Vincent, how are you?

No, I'm not OK at all.

Oh.

Do you want to take a seat?

I saw him this morning in my father's stuff

Oh really?

You haven't seen him this afternoon, have you?

Well no, why would I have seen him?

I don't know, I'm told he's on his way.

Who told you that?

I don't know what the hell he's doing around here all day long.

I think he's completely nuts.

And your mother?

What does she say about it?

You're talking about...

He fooled her, he even got himself the job.

They all love him, the bastard.

Just imagine, she gives him my father's clothes

he wears them in front of me, of course.

Come on, sit down, have a drink, come on.

No, no, no, thank you, it's OK, I won't stay long.

I'm off, Walter.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

It's OK, you can come out.

What are you doing there?

What's this shit?

Stop! Stop! Go away.

Away, then. Go on!

Walter, don't mess around.

Get lost. I don't want to see you again.

How can I get out of here? I'm naked!

Get away from there.

Come on!

Wait, wait. Don't get upset, don't get upset.

Hurry up!

Come on, get out of here!

Come on, get in.

Get in.

Did Walter call you?

Were you at his place?

Are you there by any chance?

I wanted to check something.

It's OK now, we'll be safe.

Where were you?

I was wondering where you were.

I was at Walter's.

You can't call me before when you do something like that?

A phone call, it's not hard.

Really, I thought I wouldn't stay so long.

I didn't think to call you.

Annie called me.

Vincent didn't come home last night and he wasn't at work this morning.

She's worried sick.

Walter says he saw him yesterday late afternoon.

You couldn't have run into him?

Besides, Walter didn't say you were at his place last night.

He certainly wasn't going to talk about it, I'll explain later.

You spent the night at his place?

Yes, well no, we had a few drinks and I left drunk.

It was raining, so I collapsed in a barn.

Did you fall over?

I'm exhausted and cold, I'm going to lie down.

I'm starting the washing machine, I'll take those.

Hello.

Hello.

Any news?

Walter spent the morning on the Millau road,

searching every corner.

Someone would have seen him if he'd had an accident.

That's what we always tell ourselves.

But we've seen people spend whole days in the ravine.

What if he hadn't gone to Millau?

What if he hadn't gone to work?

You know how he gets.

But he calmed down years ago.

It would be worth looking on other roads, yes.

But where would he have gone?

He was acting strange yesterday evening when he dropped by.

He was angry at the whole world.

Well, excuse me Walter, but that's his normal state.

Oh no, this was different.

He even criticized me for hosting Jeremy.

So when did you arrive?

One night at mine?

Twice? Including last night?

He didn't even want a drink and...

He said what he had to say and then...

And then he left.

I've never seen him like that.

But he would have called.

At least this morning.

Still no luck?

Yeah.

I don't think they're coming out.

I just passed a couple with a full basket.

At least two kilos, magnificent porcinis.

Where?

Over there, not too far.

If anything, they passed you by.

How long ago?

Not even five minutes.

It's going to rain.

Do you want to take my car?

No, I'm going to go and pick mushrooms a while longer.

I've warned you.

Walter!

Oh, I was looking for you.

I was looking for you too.

Is it true that you spent the night out in the wild?

You were that drunk?

It was also because of the rain.

You got there quickly.

Oh really, how come?

I was an idiot last night.

I soon blamed myself for kicking you out the door.

I took the car to find you.

I hid.

You're an idiot, why did you hide?

Don't you realize how scary you were?

I even thought that you'd come to finish me off.

If I had wanted to kill you, believe me, you wouldn't be here.

Fuck, I don't know what to say,

I don't know what came over me.

You're a nice guy,

I've got nothing against you,

I quite like you.

Damn, you're a funny guy too.

What the hell were you doing in my clothes?

Why did you come and grope me like that?

I was really drunk, I can't hold my alcohol like you.

But first, I didn't groped you, I hardly touched you.

Vincent's car's been found.

Where?

In the station car park in Millau.

Great.

Why great?

He's not at the bottom of a ravine.

Did he tell you anything?

About what?

About wanting to leave the place.

I don't see why I'd know more than you, I didn't talk to him much.

But that's just it, he might have told you things that he wouldn't have told us.

Has the police started a search?

They say he's of age and vaccinated

and has every right to be away for a few days.

Abandoning his wife and child?

If it was someone else, they'd move heaven and earth.

Don't say that, Martine.

But they'd be very happy if he disappeared forever.

The cops are not wrong, everyone has a right to a private life, don't they?

Walter says you didn't leave his place so late.

Yes.

You wouldn't have gone to the forest together?

With Vincent?

We find it hard to believe that you spent the whole night in a ditch, yes?

That's because there are more comfortable places like Piole.

Not to mention that in the middle of the night, it takes some finding.

He found me on the road.

After Walter kicked me out.

He was going back to Walter's, precisely because he

suspected that I was there and he wanted to check.

What did he want to check?

That I was meeting Walter.

Yeah, it's weird.

He was kind of jealous.

Of Walter?

Or me.

And he didn't want to be alone.

I don't know, he was acting weird so we drove around.

And you drove around in the car all night?

We drove around for a while and...

And then he wanted to go down have a drink at Mio's.

And I imagine you talked?

He mainly talked about when we were young.

The dumb shit we did together.

And not just dumb shit.

And then we talked a lot about his father.

His death brings up a lot of things.

And what exactly did he tell you about his father?

I'm not sure anymore.

Yes, a while ago, he told me he felt like an orphan.

You could have told me about it.

It was something between him and me, wasn't it?

Yes, but come on, it's important that we know about it.

If we'd found him dead, okay, I would have told you about it, but now...

He'll turn up again any minute now.

And that's why you're not telling us everything?

Well, that's pretty much all I have to say.

Why didn't you get back until the morning?

He dropped me off in Millau.

And he told me not to go back to Saint-Martial.

He wanted me to avoid you.

Oh, come on.

That's how he put it.

What the hell's got into him?

He didn't even offer to take you back here so you could pick up your car.

He didn't want to know anything and he told me that he

didn't have time and that he had to go to work.

Was it me who shouted like that? Did I speak?

No, you just shouted, but it was scary.

Want to tell me about it?

It feels good to talk about it.

No, it was too much... No, I... I can't.

I don't want to be alone.

I'll stay here. With you.

Until you fall asleep. OK?

OK.

There. I'm turning it off.

Jérémy?

Is there something you don't dare tell me about Vincent?

Hmm.

Do you think he left Annie?

Yeah.

Do you know where he went?

Oh dear, I was hoping to keep the place secret.

They're morels.

They're beautiful, aren't they?

Well, time's running out, I have to be in Saint-Jean by 11.

Come on, I'm going.

Ciao, Bella.

What the hell are you doing here?

Why are you hiding?

I didn't want to disturb you.

Well, you could ring the doorbell, I would have let you know if you disturbed me.

I wanted to see you alone.

Well, that's good timing, because so do I.

What have you been saying?

Well, I came to see you to tell you that I must have said something to them.

Did you have to express your jealousy?

And that I was afraid that Vincent would find you at mine?

Well, first of all, be glad I kept quiet about the gun.

Well, now they're imagining all kinds of things about you.

Look, I'm dealing with this situation as best I can.

And it's not like he was murdered

and we had to answer the cops' questions.

But that's exactly why everyone's starting to wonder.

Yeah, it's not normal the car at the station.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't stick around forever.

But there is one thing he would never give up, and that's his car.

He made a point of leaving for Barcelona, for Amsterdam, and he never took the train.

That's his pleasure when he goes a long way away

it's driving, it's his car.

And he wouldn't leave just after his father's death.

He wouldn't do something like that.

Well, you want another drink?

Yeah, I understand that you were drunk.

I know we were just fucking around, but still.

It annoys me that people make fun of me like that.

But I wasn't making fun of you.

Did you really want to sleep with me?

Yes.

Because of the pastis?

Yes, I don't know.

Yeah, no doubt that the pastis really

got me going the other night, but it's not just that.

But what was it?

Well, when you fancy someone drunk,

it's kind of like I want it all the time after.

What makes you think I'm gay?

Nothing.

I don't need to think of you as someone who wants me.

It's better if you leave.

Finish your beer.

Any news?

Still nothing?

Come on, I'll leave you to it.

See you tomorrow.

Bye, Annie.

See you tomorrow.

Well, well...

Look what Philippe brought us.

He's very good with mushrooms.

I need to confess.

But I'm not a priest.

It's not very complicated, you'll get through it just fine.

See the little trap door?

Why do you need to confess?

I didn't report Vincent's murderer to the police.

How do you know he was murdered?

I just know.

Are you afraid of being wrong?

To tell you the truth, I don't want to report him.

Why not?

Locking up the murderer will not bring Vincent back.

Moreover, I think that prison is worse than death.

But do you realize

If one could kill without risking the slightest punishment?

I don't believe he is a potential assassin.

When you've killed, you are a murderer.

It's not in his nature, I mean.

I don't think he's a danger to society.

You won't be able to live with this secret.

Also.

There'll inevitably come a time it'll become unbearable.

Do you really believe in the use of punishing murderers?

I believe above all that it's difficult to bear such a secret alone.

Not really alone.

No doubt the murderer will eventually turn himself in.

I don't think so.

It must be exhausting to lie all the time.

To live with the fear of making a mistake.

Or even with the memory of a crime.

It is not a crime that should stop life going on.

It's easy for you to say that today.

But what will you think tomorrow?

What will hold you back for a lifetime?

The joy of seeing the murderer.

Every day.

And what makes you think Vincent Rose's killer

wants to see you every day?

Nothing.

You realize that it must be very distressing

to be loved by someone you don't love?

Do you think the killer hates me?

No, that's not what I mean.

There's a chance

that he doesn't love you the way you love him

or the way you would like him to love you.

I'll be discreet.

I've learned to love without return.

I'll be able to love him without pining for all eternity.

Thank you very much.

You were very good.

Take a seat, we've been waiting for you.

A pastis?

Would you like another one?

That's a fine drink, sir.

So you come from Toulouse?

Are you still at the bakery?

I'm unemployed at the moment.

For a long time?

No, not too long.

I left my last job less than three months ago.

You shouldn't wait too long.

You tell yourself you have time, then you stay unemployed for a year.

It leaves a gap in your CV, employers find it suspicious

and they wonder why you were unemployed for so long.

It's OK for three months these days.

He always worked.

He started very young, he can go three months without doing anything.

You are investigating the disappearance of Vincent?

You haven't seen anything suspicious, have you?

No.

I guess there were some strange things that happened that night, but...

We were told about it.

And you spent a good part of the night with him, are we correct?

Yes.

You said that you had a drink. Where did you go?

I didn't say we had a drink.

Vincent wanted to have a drink at Milo's,

but when we arrived, everything was closed.

What time was it when Mr. Bonchamp... threw you out?

I don't know... 6:30? 7?

Can you tell us your movements?

It's very complicated, he wanted to talk...

We went up to Légoil, then we went back down to Le Vigan...

Then he took some small roads, I was really lost...

At one point, we ended up in Florac and from there, we went down to Millaux.

You arrived there in the morning, if everything was closed?

I didn't notice the time.

But you know, on a Tuesday, at 11., sometimes there's no one there.

Okay, let's say that's true.

You arrive at Millaux at 11 a.m., you left at 4 o'clock.

It's a long way to Millaux, even if you go via the station and Lozère.

Well, it's still quite a distance. And on small roads.

And Mrs. Rigal told us that you

arrived next morning around 9.

Millau, on foot, is how long? 4 hours?

Well, more like 5.

Yes, but probably in such cases, you walk fast.

Yeah, even walking fast.

Okay. Let's say. 5 hours, then.

That means you left Millau around 4 a.m.

That leaves us 5 hours in Millau not doing anything.

Plus the time you spent driving to Lozère, it makes for a long night.

I mean, you didn't just drive and chat.

But we did!

How long were you friends with Vincent?

We knew each other from college, but then we didn't see each other.

But then you saw each other again?

Yes, but nothing more.

What do you mean, nothing more?

We spoke when he came to his mother's, but I didn't even go to his place.

Obviously, he didn't appreciate your presence very much.

Or rather, he didn't appreciate you lingering at his mother's.

He thought that, forgive me,

that you wanted to sleep with her.

Yes, he thought that.

He also thought that you wanted to have sex with his best friend.

With Walter?

That's what you tried, yes?

No, but that was...

We were drunk, it was just for fun.

Even drunk, as you say. You can't make up desires like that.

Yes, it's true, I would have liked to.

And what is your relationship with Father Grisel?

We see each other from time to time, here.

We've heard that you two meet each other a lot in the forest.

Yes, we go mushroom picking like everyone else, but we go separately.

And you meet up there?

Yes, it's happened once or twice, but by chance.

Why are you telling me about him?

We think he's hiding something from us.

About Vincent?

Or from you.

And what could he be hiding from you?

Well, we can't know.

'cos he's hiding it from us, at least.

On that note...

Thanks for the drink.

Are you staying around here?

Yes.

There are rules that can't be enforced because

the play time is reduced by Parisians who...

Tell me, Jérémy, did you sleep with Vincent?

No.

But then what on earth did you do all night?

I can't see you chatting and driving all that time.

Can you imagine us making love?

Not necessarily, but I'd believe that a little more.

We fought.

When he left me in Millau, I didn't agree.

Of course, I insisted.

And that's when he told me he wanted me to stop hanging around with you.

It annoyed me, I told him to stop.

And it got worse, and as we kept arguing, we got to the point.

It wasn't about Walter, then?

Yes. First Walter, but not much.

And then Vincent got violent.

And he left me for dead.

But you could have called me, I would have came to get you.

I didn't want to tell you about it, I thought we'd leave it there.

That I would go home and we would forget about it.

And you think that's why he left?

Why would that have made him leave?

I don't know...

One of those reactions that you have sometimes.

You're not going to run off now, are you?

I couldn't sleep. I wanted to take advantage of that

to go to my place and get some stuff.

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

It's just a round trip.

Once you're home, you won't come back.

And that will make you a suspect.

But come on, it also looks strange that I'm staying.

Even Martine is starting to wonder.

That's normal. She has the impression that you're hiding something from her.

Exactly. She wants me to stay so she can get it out of me?

No.

She wants to keep you close to her because she loves you.

Enough with your stories, it's complicated enough as it is.

Want a drink?

I have an excellent cure for insomnia.

Agreed.

Jérémy?

What are you doing?

Why did you take your car?

You were leaving, right?

Well, I'll leave you to it, I'm going to bed.

Me too, I'm heading up. Good night, Philippe.

Good night.

Are you coming?

See you tomorrow?

Hello.

Can you show us?

Ah, they're beautiful.

Spending your days in the forest, you see, pays off eventually.

Why do you stay with Mrs. Régal?

First of all, I feel good here in the village, and she wants me to stay.

She doesn't want to be alone.

And you understand that this might have upset her son?

You know him at least as well as we do

You know that he's got a temperament that is, shall we say, eager?

You know what I mean?

Martine told you?

What should she have told us?

About the fight?

Vincent and I had a fight on Tuesday evening in Millau.

Ah, finally!

You did something other than ride and chat.

That's reassuring.

What did you fight about?

He was getting on my nerves with this wanting to sleep with his mother thing.

And what happened in the fight?

As I'm not so used to it, he beat me up.

He left me there and went off.

It didn't last very long, then?

Well, yes, a little bit, because I tried to

escape and he ran after me in the streets of Millau.

And why didn't you say anything?

It was between us, it was nobody else's business.

But you spoke to his mother about it.

Why tell her about it?

Because she didn't believe that we just spent our time driving and talking.

She was starting to imagine stuff.

And she believed this fight, then?

Why wouldn't she have believed it?

Don't you think she might be trying to

imagine that he left to start a new life elsewhere?

Doesn't that seem possible to you?

Only children rarely leave their parents.

So, in the event of the death of his father, can you imagine that?

Then there's this car business.

My young colleague had the idea of going to the station.

Do you know why?

Because murderers always leave their

victims' cars in departure areas.

A train station, an airport...

So, we believe your story about the fight,

but we also know that with Vincent

Fights rarely last more than five minutes.

And even then, when you get beaten up in five minutes

watch in hand, you could tell me all about it.

He chased me.

And we've all run the streets enough to know

that after a quarter of an hour you're exhausted.

Another thing, it's very rare to find morels in the fall.

I'd have to check, but I don't think it ever happened.

So?

Hello!

Oh, Father.

Can you leave us alone, please?

Mr. Pastor was telling us something.

I'll tell you. It'll be better for everyone.

Jérémy spent Tuesday night with me.

We suspected it was something like that.

And that's why you're inventing impossible stories?

I didn't want to harm the priest.

We've seen worse.

I'm counting on your discretion.

So Mr. Ponchon kicks you out, you walk

down the road and you go to the presbytery.

That's not exactly how it happened.

I'm willing to hear Mr. Pastor's version.

In fact, long before arriving at Saint-Martial, the priest

passed by on the road and drove me to his home.

And why didn't you go directly to Mrs. Regal's?

I wanted to get myself together. I was dirty, my face was bleeding.

That wasn't all. You immediately went shy in front of me.

Yes, I already had a strong desire for him. I took advantage of the situation.

So you, a stranger asks you...

He's not a stranger.

Yes, well, a man that you hardly know,

is asking if he can come and take a shower at the

presbytery even though he isn't homeless,

you accepted without any problem.

I also wanted him very much.

What were you doing on that road?

Were you there by chance?

I often arrange to get myself on Jeremy's path.

It's the force of desire, I guess.

Don't underestimate it.

Well, we wish you happiness.

Gentlemen.

Good evening.

How are you? If you want something to eat, there's cold meat

in the fridge, and eggs and cheese too.

What's going on? What do you mean, what's

happening? Are you just going to stand there saying nothing? Without

looking at me? Where did you spent all day?

I was with the priest,

We went up to the church.

Oh him!

He'd be better off saying masses rather than wandering around.

What have you done with the body of Vincent Regal?

Leave me alone!.

You just have to answer me yes or no.

Did you bury it?

That was where it already was.

You buried him in the forest?

Is that right?

What are you doing?

Shh!

You'll wake Mrs. Régal.

I'll be damned! Martine! Martine!

What's going on?

The policeman was there, he came to question me in my sleep.

What are you talking about? I'd have heard him!

But I swear to you!

You must have had another nightmare!

No, it wasn't a nightmare!

Come on, go back to bed.

Don't worry.

Go on.

Father?

It's me, it's Jeremy.

You can't do that.

It's no longer possible, everyone knows.

Don't exaggerate.

Yes, they know.

The policeman came by last night, he tried to make me talk while I was sleeping.

But even without that, they always end up finding bodies.

And then the criminals.

And even if they never find the body.

And even if they can be persuaded I'm innocent.

How will I be able to live with that on my conscience?

It's only been a week and it feels like an eternity.

OK, it's difficult.

But I imagine that at the time, you had your reasons.

No, I'd have my reasons again.

But I got carried away.

Why did you get carried away?

I don't know, I was carried away by the violence.

The desire to finish him off.

So you did want to kill him.

Yes, but it was in the heat of the moment.

At that precise moment.

And you regret it?

Well, yes.

If a long prison sentence or the death penalty

allowed Vincent to be brought back to life,

would you accept that?

No.

So you can come to terms with your conscience.

And you'll get better and better at it.

You're good at it.

How can you be sure?

Can you come to terms with your conscience?

Everyone knows how to do that.

Have you seen all these people suffering?

Children dying of hunger?

Homeless people on city sidewalks?

The world rushing to its doom.

You can imagine that in a few decades,

life will no longer exist on the planet

and that doesn't stop anyone going to the cinema

or football matches.

But they didn't kill anyone?

Yes. We are all responsible for this carnage.

And all aware of it.

But it's far away, it is not in front of our eyes.

We don't kill them with our own hands.

Are you sure that makes a big difference?

Death is no bad thing.

Life has to end.

And it can end at any moment,

whether you are young, old, sick or healthy.

We need unexpected deaths.

We need accidents.

We need murders.

In that case, why don't you want me to jump off a cliff?

That's always the easy way out in moments of despair.

But you didn't really want to.

Besides, what were you thinking about before I arrived?

You were wondering if you hadn't forgotten something.

If there wasn't one last desire that would give you the urge to continue.

A reason to hold on to life.

And of course, in my case, the real reason is that I don't want to lose you.

But I don't want to stay by your side for the rest of my life.

I'm not going to get my hopes up.

A chat, a meal now and then, a walk.

And that's all?

You'll learn to love me.

You can't order it.

Yes. Yes, we can do that very well.

Take it from me.

I had a hard time at first, but I'm getting there.

I manage to love them all.

And with some of them, believe me, it wasn't easy.

Come on, you can go on living, for me.

Someone saw Vincent's car heading towards the forest on Tuesday evening.

They're setting up a search party.

But really, Jeremy, no one can come in the house without my hearing them.

But why does it bother you that I sleep at the presbytery?

Sometimes I get the impression you're trying to avoid me.

Did you spend all day together?

You can spend the night here, can't you?

Martine is right, we'll see each other tomorrow.

Good evening.

Thank you, Philippe. Thank you for everything. Good night.

And I'll keep the key. Are you happy?

And if I want to go out?

To join Philippe?

Not necessarily, but you never know.

Well, you'll just have to ask me. Come on, let's get to bed.

I've been waiting for you.

The policeman is at Martine's house; she gave him a key.

Perfect. Go up.

Aren't you going to lock the door?

Absolutely not. Let him come.

Come sleep in my bed.

But um...

Come on, come on!

Do you have any pyjamas I can borrow?

We need to be believable.

But you can keep your underpants on if you want to.

Hurry up.

Can we switch it off?

OK.

But couldn't we just...

Shh!

Sorry, I just wanted to check.

Oh well, there you go, you've seen it, are you happy?

Since I'm here, let me check fully.

Normally I wouldn't tolerate that, but...

You realize what you're doing?

Get out! Go away!

Perfect.

Everything is going like clockwork.

There's no time to lose, get dressed.

Let's carry on, there's nothing.

Leave me alone with him.

Don't you want me to help you take him there?

It's better if you don't know.

Wait for me at the presbytery.

You don't want me to be gay

If anyone comes...

Don't worry.

If there's one place that's quiet at this time of day, it's cemeteries.

Close the door.

Where have you been? I've been looking for you for hours.

The policeman dropped by in the night, I ran away.

I took refuge at the priest's house.

And the policeman even went there.

But I went there, there was no one there.

That's because Philippe had a meeting at the bishop's palace.

And at dawn, too, he had to leave super early.

You could have just locked yourself in the presbytery if you were so scared.

But the policeman can open all the doors he wants.

He must have a pass.

Good.

Come on, lie down with me.

Come on.

It's time.

Good night.

Good night.

I can get close to you.

It might be a bit early.

Let's start by sleeping, eh?

Can I at least hold your hand?

My hand, yes.
