BASED ON THE NOVEL TIGERLILY'S ORCHIDS BY RUTH RENDELL

A FILM BY PASCAL THOMAS

TO FRANÇOIS CAVIGLIOLI

Come.

What is going on?

-What's under that? -I'll explain later.

I will never forget the day Valentin died.

His body was found under the little bridge.

But who could have wanted to kill you, Valentin?

You, so secretive, so far away, tangled up in your dreams.

You'd come into our lives some time before that day

when, in the park, near the little bridge,

a photo shoot had caused a stir in the whole neighborhood.

Let's go! Knees up!

Maybe you can open up the shirt a bit more, it is a good idea.

One hand on the gun.

Yes, I love it. Yes.

A bit more martial. Yeah.

Yeah. Try it on the baton.

Hello, Jane. Always in a hurry. Hello, Sergio.

Hi, Aymé.

Oh my,

the half-naked cop, shameless!

It's the talk of the town. She is gorgeous.

She really is a police officer.

What magazine is it for?

They say it is for their calendar,

but they won't just do female cops, if you know what I mean.

Valentin, I put your groceries on the chair.

Given the outfit, I prefer the female cops.

Hi, Valentin.

-Playing the piano? -Yes, I am trying.

You soon made yourself at home.

Like me, like all of us, at Aymé's, our grocery store café

where you played your Chinese tunes on the out-of-tune piano

at the time when Jane came to stock up on alcohol for the day.

One half, and I am off.

-Careful, Jane. -Are you OK, Jane?

Not really.

So, Valentin, when is this housewarming party?

After the vacation.

Will you come, Jane? If you fancy it, of course.

-You too, Sergio. -Of course.

Me?

Obviously, the only man feeding the neighborhood.

Everyone is invited.

Wait, Jane, give me that. I will take you home.

Turn.

Let's go to the park!

-Noor! How are you? -Fine.

A cop in the park took a picture of herself half-naked.

-Really? -Pussy out. Yeah, yeah.

How did it go?

-Babysitting? -Yeah.

A nightmare. The kids were awful, badly behaved.

The dad, a dumb salesman half hitting on me.

I must find a way to earn money.

Hi, Romain.

Hi, Romain. How are you?

-I think it is inappropriate. -What, it is funny.

What is?

He is shocked by the half-naked girl.

Pussy out? You call that half-naked?

It's wrong. Would you do it?

If there is cash, I am down.

-No, not me. -I hope not.

Oh no, she doesn't care about money. She is an artist.

It is not that. I have no taboos.

Besides, your right hand on your sex brings you luck.

Yeah, on the balls too I hear.

I don't see the connection. Well, come on.

-Are you leaving? -Yes, I have things to do.

OK, bye.

No kiss?

Yes, maybe.

-What is wrong with you? -I am bringing luck to myself.

Don't worry, Jane, I will carry it.

Leave it to me.

Leave it to me.

-Hello, Jane. -Hello, Jane.

-You got up early this morning. -Not really!

Hi, Valentin.

You lived in the white building across from me.

Whenever you appeared, there was a whirlwind of seduction and hugs.

The neighbors soon adopted you

especially the girls on the fifth floor.

You kept distant.

You were fascinated by the mysteries of the house next to mine

where, how can I put it, shadow puppets lived.

Jane! Already up?

-Hello, Roger. -Mr. Marius.

-Hello, girls. -Hellos, Mr. Cyriès.

-Hello. -Hello.

I have mail for you, Mr. Fontaine. It is your mother.

She went to the seaside and the mountains. She had good weather.

-She thinks well of you. -Thanks.

You can see, look.

If you don't like it, you do it. Alright, OK!

You are soft!

You have already done it!

Do you want some help, Jane?

Give me that.

Goodbye.

-So, ratatouille then? -Again?

-Yes, again. -Ratatouille is good.

Who chops what?

-I do the zucchini. -I do eggplant.

-What do I chop? -You do the rest.

Damn, I am messing up!

-Here, here, here. -Do you know why?

-No. -Because you are in love.

Don't bullshit me. Romain's just sex.

Not Romain. You didn't see yourself in front of Valentin.

He is handsome! He is gorgeous!

It is true he has charm. Especially his eyes.

His beautiful eyes.

He has amazing eyes.

I doubt he's into us.

He is clearly not interested in us.

Valentin Valentin Let me love you

Valentin Valentin Let me love you

I only see your eyes

Blue your eyes Blue

Valentin!

Valentin!

It is your mother!

Valentin, what a sinister neighborhood!

It is not a place to live, it is a place to die.

-Is this what you chose? -Mom, stop.

OK, so... Let's take a look.

I imagined it to be bigger.

Yes, it still cost you a small fortune.

It is a bit...

A bit what?

There is no storage space?

Is this where you plan to put your stuff?

On this rack here? It is not possible.

I have been thinking.

I don't like it when you think.

I have been thinking anyway.

You know, this gap year you are taking,

I don't know, I don't like it.

I think you are wasting your time.

You are wasting your time squandering the money

poor Aunt Gloria left you. I mean, at your age,

there are smarter things to do.

How old are you anyway?

-I am going to be 30. -30?

Yes.

Don't say that. If someone asks you your age, you say 23-24.

For me, you are still my little boy.

Besides, my friends also see you as a little boy

and they are worried about your future.

Don't worry about my future. I have enough money.

But nobody has enough money in this day and age.

Money disappears. Maybe some people have enough, but not you.

You live in your bubble.

If you had waited, you would have had this apartment for less.

No, your head is up in the clouds.

I have your favorite champagne. Want some?

It is a good idea.

Why did you hang up on me?

I didn't hang up, but I'm with my mom. I can't talk.

-I'll call you back. -I want to see her.

See you later.

Who was it? Your girlfriend?

You say nothing, as usual.

How mysterious he is!

With eyes like that, you don't need to talk.

People are attracted to you.

He is so cute!

What a funny little guy you are!

What is wrong with you, Mom?

You see, right now I am drinking my favorite champagne,

I am with my beloved son. I am in great shape.

Next week I am going on a cruise on the Nile, etc.,

and yet I am going to die.

I am going to die too, Mom. Everyone is. But not right away.

Yes, but one day.

And I got so attached to... to myself.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

My baby!

-I like your perfume. -I know.

You have been telling me that since you were a kid. Mom's perfume.

Well.

Your mom is so beautiful!

Asshole!

You are here? Weren't you supposed to plead today?

No. Tomorrow.

-I'm off to the office. You? -Russian class.

-Very well. See you tonight. -See you tonight.

I have made progress, right?

What is the plan for today's class?

Since we are interested in modern languages,

you could... and...

-Isn't that a new one? -No. I have seen her before.

Damn, he looks very in love.

She is hot too.

-If you like classy chicks. -Yeah, that is enough.

Marius! Are you ready? Let's start exercising.

Hold tight, girls!

Come on, girls.

Aren't you coming?

No, I have to go, I am going to go revise my jurisprudence.

-How far along are you? -Homicide. Fascinating.

Did you know that over 80% of murders are never solved?

It is scary.

Faster, Marius! One, two, three, four...

-One, two, three... -Six, seven, eight...

Valentin?

Valentin?

It is good, it is salty.

I am thirsty too.

Don't forget my key.

I'll put it in your bag.

That is it for today.

Why do I have to learn music theory?

If you love music, love it enough to learn it.

For jazz, it is pointless.

What do you know, schmuck?

Music theory is like the highway code for driving.

Music theory is no longer than five pages.

-Come on, go. See you Friday. -Goodbye, Mr. Cyriès.

Come, Henry IV. Come into mommy's arms.

-Marius! -Am I disturbing you?

Not at all. We were finishing up.

So, Rose, how many more sessions?

Look, about five.

You are regaining your self-healing abilities. Good.

Yes, I feel the energies flowing again.

We are working on your life energy

and it will also free up your sexual energy.

I wanted to warn you.

The Prussians will never get the guys from the Sarthe. Hello.

The Prussians will never get the guys from our canton

Sorry! Sorry.

-I'm sorry. -I will deal with it. Sorry.

It is spectacular.

Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

See you next week.

I ride on your, you ride on my, I ride on one on the other

I ride on your, you ride on my, it makes the French

Henry IV has a beautiful wardrobe!

You know, little dogs need to be warm.

-The UK flag? -A tribute to the Beatles.

The most important thing is the detoxifying herbal tea.

Detoxifying herbal tea?

-I give the same to my patients. -Isn't it dangerous?

Oh not at all, no.

I don't give my dog's tea to my patients,

I give my patients' tea to my dog, it is not the same.

Smell this.

I brought you some talking candy.

-You found some? -Yes.

"I now only want to collect moments of happiness."

Stendhal.

You didn't forget to make me a copy of your keys?

Shall I come now?

I told Freddy I was going to my Russian class.

If you are interested in being a linguist,

I could lick you, then I would go further down,

going through all sorts of places.

You're houseproud but leave your shoes on?

My feet are not on the bed.

Can't you put something else on?

You are ridiculous.

I like this dress.

You look fat in it. We can see your breasts, your ass, your hips.

You look like a... a woman.

What do you want me to look like? A grasshopper?

I don't know, but not that.

Claudia?

Claudia?

Who are you? How did you get in?

My name is Freddy.

Dear God...

Yes, as you say. Invoke your god, you are going to need it.

I found this key in my wife's purse.

Look, we can talk.

Sit and let's talk.

No, I am not going to sit down, I don't feel like talking.

This is not a courtesy call.

I came to smash your face,

to smash your little fuckboy face in.

But what...

It is my wife.

If you come near my wife again...

Next time, I will make you eat it.

Valentin!

-How are you? -Fine.

-Doesn't look like it. -I am waiting for a cab.

-You alright? -Yeah.

Excuse me, I am sorry.

No, don't worry, it is nothing.

What is wrong? You are covered in blood! What is up?

Yeah, I fell.

You must have hurt yourself pretty bad. Nothing broken?

I don't know, they will tell me in hospital.

Here comes my cab.

Wait, let me help you.

I will go with you. I won't leave you like this.

-No, thank you. -Go ahead.

Really, it will be fine.

-Are you sure? -I prefer to go alone.

Hello!

-Hello, Roger! -Hello, Roger!

-Is this your building? -Yes.

-Why did you paint it like that? -I don't know.

It is horrible, bloody.

But it is not blood, it is red.

-Shall we do this little Matisse? -Yes.

You know, Matisse, one day,

his favorite model had her armpits shaved.

After that, he never wanted to draw her again.

I get it. Hair is wonderful.

Dark masses. Raise your arm. Right there.

That is good.

Shift your legs over there.

Spread your right arm.

Like that.

What? A group job interview to sell toothpaste?

Est your toothpaste, asshole!

Those assholes are so dumb.

I won't be able to pay my share of the rent this month.

I can lend you some money again.

Here he comes.

He looks like he is in pain.

I'll take out the trash.

-It is my turn. -Never mind, I will go.

Claudia?

No, everything is fine.

I went out for a walk.

I am coming.

Sylvia!

It takes you a long time to open. I have been ringing

for ten minutes. I was about to leave.

Sylvia, what are you doing here?

I am your sister and I am worried. Your telephone is not working.

You don't reply to emails or letters.

Will you let me in?

Jane...

Sylvia...

Want some?

No.

Jane,

you are still coming home for the vacation.

-Please, everyone will be there... -Stop it,

Sylvia! Come on, drink.

A little drink. Then get the hell out!

End your little charity visit.

You must have something else to do. Me too.

I am going to enjoy myself. Enjoy. Enjoy.

Love you.

-Jane... -Maybe it smells of gin?

-One of you couldn't go... -Jane...

to Aymé's to get me one of these?

No, Jane, we can't do that.

No?

And why not?

Jane...

I feel sorry for her.

Why not buy her a bottle? A small one.

Do as you like, it bugs me.

Where did I put the damn key?

-What happened? -Nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?

I had a big fall.

Oh my, who ever next?

Freddy also slipped. He hurt his shoulder quite bad.

-No fractures? -That guy is unbreakable.

Not like you, my poor darling. Are you in pain?

-Sorry. -Stop, Claudia, you are hurting me.

I don't feel great, you should go.

No way. I brought lots of nice things.

You need me to take care of you.

No, seriously, Claudia.

Imagine your husband finding out.

How do you want him to know?

Sit down. I will make your chocolate.

I am coming back, my love!

Stop, Claudia.

You really look under the weather.

Yes, absolutely.

I will be back tomorrow then to see if you are feeling better.

Also to see if you really hurt all over.

Look at my bruises.

That is pretty! It is very sexy.

I dreamed of you as a wounded warrior.

Please.

Let's wait a few days, after the vacation.

Weren't you meant to go skiing with your husband?

Yes, precisely.

It is too long. Long, long, long, long...

-The chocolate. -The chocolate can wait.

Relax, darling. You are very tight.

I am leaving, I am leaving.

I am leaving, I am leaving.

-Hello, Roger! -Hello!

Thanks!

My sweetie! Oh my sweetie!

China, Japan, Shanghai, China again,

Afghanistan. Have you really been there?

Yes.

You like traveling.

-Don't you? -Yes, I do.

Where have you been?

Greece, once.

I have been on the Cretan diet since,

-but it doesn't really work. -You are great as you are, Antonia.

-Do you think? -Yes.

It is not what my husband says.

Have you really been to all these countries?

Yes.

Do you travel alone?

-Yes, often. I prefer it. -I am impressed.

You are running away from something.

You know, no matter what you do, you can't escape your destiny.

-Why do you say that? -I don't know.

-Do you mind fake smoke? -No, not at all.

-You are not answering? -No, I am not answering.

It is none of my business.

-This fabric is beautiful. -It is Uzbek.

Aren't you hot? It is hot in here...

-Are you finished? -Yes. Can't you tell?

What about the windows?

I don't do windows.

Alright.

Shall I leave you to it?

OK then.

Come on, girls, with a smile!

What is up, girls? Not too tired?

Claudia? Back from vacation already?

No, I am shopping for the housewarming party tomorrow.

No, you can't, it is for the neighbors.

No, you can't help me.

I need to go.

Come here!

Don't look at him. You want trouble?

Wait until tonight!

-It is Tigerlily. -What is that?

I call her Tigerlily.

She is as exotic as a lily. She is beautiful.

Yes.

She is beautiful.

Do you know them?

The one wearing dark glasses is Mrs. Hou.

Is it her sister?

Or her mother. Who knows.

You are pulling a strange face.

Tigerlily...

I feel like I have known her forever.

She reminds me

of Singapore, with my mother.

Jane!

Nothing broken, Jane?

That bitch stepped over her as if she was a puddle.

I doubt we will find water in Jane's body.

-What a disgrace! -It is Asian compassion.

It is Taoism: do not worry about what does not depend on you.

-You OK, Jane? -Everything is fine.

Hello.

Come in!

We are neighbors and I thought

that you and your family, if you accept...

I live across the street and I am having

a housewarming party tomorrow.

-We can't go! -Come.

It would mean a lot to me.

We can't go.

Go in!

Valentin!

Valentin!

What is up with you?

We don't see each other for ten days and you hang up on me, not very nice.

-How are you? Was it good? -Yes.

Did you get any snow?

Above 6,500, there was some, but I didn't ski much.

I thought of you. Did you think of me?

Did you think of me?

Yes, I did.

I must go, but look, I brought lots of things.

So, warm socks for your feet that always stick out of the bed,

a hat hand-knitted by Josiane, a very nice lady from there.

-Listen, Claudia... -More for nighttime.

During these ten days, I thought a lot and...

This one.

You are so cute! You look like a little elf.

I adore you, but this situation with your husband is no longer possible.

But Freddy doesn't care!

I am sure he does care. And that is not the point.

He is probably the kind of guy to show up and break everything.

Without warning. We must stop seeing each other.

-But why? -But to see if...

-See what? -See if...

I am late. Listen to me.

No, we won't deprive ourselves for several months.

See you tomorrow at your party. Oh, your hat!

It's for the neighbors, for the people in the building.

I will be the hostess. See you tomorrow, my darling.

You've been noticed, you can calm down now.

No.

-Never. -You have had enough to drink.

Stop it!

"Is the time to love over for me?" La Fontaine.

"The two fools."

No preliminaries.

If he fucks like he dances.

He is from before caresses were invented.

He dances like a stick.

Here. Romain.

You drive me crazy.

Where is she? Where is my wife?

-I can't fucking believe it. -I can.

Move over! Where is he? Where is this runt?

-Where is he? -He is here.

What are you doing here?

-Where is my wife? -In my room.

You are witnesses! This bastard is fucking my wife. My wife!

That wasn't enough for you!

I am going to trash you.

-But firstly, Claudia. Claudia! -Don't touch her!

Don't touch her!

Hear that? Do something!

It is not my business.

Roger, don't just stand there!

We don't get involved in relationship issues.

Let go of me!

Elodie!

There is no water. Go into the kitchen!

His legs need to be raised.

-Noor, water! -It is not true, there is champagne!

-Roger, your code! -Elodie!

-That is it, thank you. -Come here now!

If it happens again, I will kill him!

Come!

Valentin?

-Gently. Gently, gently. -Is it the arm?

-I think he broke my arm. -Sit down.

-What do you want to do? -Careful, Valentin.

Gently, gently.

-Rose! -Look at that...

We were talking.

We were talking.

Are you in pain?

-How are you holding up? -I will go with you, Valentin.

-I'll be fine. -I will tidy up.

-Yes. -Are you not cold, sir?

A bit.

-Sergio? -Yes.

Can you pass me my coat, please?

Sorry, I am late.

If I had been there, this would not have happened.

Isn't this enough?

-Come on, let's go home. -Go ahead, I will give you my...

Ouch! You are hurting me!

I am telling you!

Stop!

You are out of your mind!

It's your fault I'm unfaithful.

You never take care of me!

Don't go whining to the cops.

This is the attorney speaking.

Asshole...

You broke your shoulder? Listen,

how do you manage to do this?

I have never broken anything. I mean, not sprained.

It is very crippling.

How will you manage? I am leaving now.

You are leaving today?

Yes, my sweetie. I told you it was today.

I forgot.

I am taking Emirates Airlines via Dubai to Cairo.

I would like to see Central Station's streetlights again.

Then, I am meeting Eleonore and we go down to the Old Cataract.

Maybe you can try to join me?

And call me back. Right?

Love you, sweetheart.

Élodie. Do you know the people across the street?

-The Chinese? -Yes.

They don't talk to anyone.

They sell flowers, I think. Orchids.

That is why...

That is why what?

Well...

The girl with long hair, very pretty,

Sergio calls her Tigerlily.

Tigerlily is a variety of lilies that could be mistaken for orchids.

I didn't know.

And in Singapore...

Look, it is Tigerlily.

Any sugar?

Any sugar?

Yes. Well no.

My,... But my,...

Excuse me, I knocked, did you not hear me?

I am looking for Antonia.

What do you want from Antonia?

As she no longer works for me, I need my key.

-Your key? -My key.

Yes.

Thanks.

-Hello, Valentin! -Hello.

As you suggested, I brought you the shopping list.

Thanks.

Are you sure I won't interrupt?

We are doing a wine tasting.

Noor brought back bottles from her father's cellar.

The one with brown hair is Ulysse, and the blonde one is...

Well, I forget.

It is my favorite mother-in-law.

Hello.

Hello.

It is a good Burgundy, Nuits-Saint-Georges.

-What do you think? -It is not for me.

Why?

I am from the Bordeaux region. Born in Libourne, amid the vineyards.

-It is not sectarian. -I prefer wine.

-Try this, Valentin. -Thanks.

Let me take the red off.

There.

Oh yes, we wanted to give you a touch wood.

Noor makes them, it is a lucky charm. We all have one.

I always put it in my bag, especially during exams.

What I usually do is touch it three times.

For the cleaning, this is my house key.

Oh yes, thanks.

I want to thank you for everything you are doing for me.

It is normal, I am pleased to do it.

Does Noor do that?

Yes. That is me, with curlers.

-We will get you to pose! -No.

Yes, yes, yes. Noor! We will get him to pose!

-No. -Yes!

Is anything wrong?

Aymé is closed.

Can't you go to the supermarket

and get me two bottles of vodka and two of gin?

No, this is not serious.

I give you my card.

To withdraw money.

I will need your code.

Yes, it is 27-44.

27-44.

Two bottles of gin and two... Make it quick.

Breathe.

Jane?

What took you so long?

Thanks.

At least, I can count on you.

-I close your door. -Yes.

Good night, Jane.

Don't you want to try a Singapore Sling?

Aymé, another one for me, please.

Tigerlily...

Her face reminded me of another face.

I was sitting on the terrace of Raffles,

on a rattan chair, next to my mother in Singapore.

She had ordered the hotel's legendary Long Bar cocktail,

the Singapore Sling.

Triple sec, cointreau,

gin, cherry liqueur,

and Angostura.

The Raffles' director brings it in person.

"Another one for my son."

"At his age, a gentleman must already be an alcoholic."

She poured a few drops of opium

from a vial she took from her bag.

"He also needs to be introduced to opium.

"It is about education."

That is when I saw her pass by,

like an apparition.

A young Chinese woman.

Her face was as pure

and as harmonious as that of Tigerlily today.

Our eyes met.

I never saw her again.

I learned that she had drowned.

I had written a song for her.

I could ask Noor.

She would play it for me.

Yes, she would sing it for us.

Jane, are you listening?

Sergio?

You won't see anything. The shutters are always closed.

Want a drink?

Did you find out why they are hiding like that?

When you serve 18 years in the Legion you learn to mind your own business.

What if she was a prisoner or a slave?

Look at him getting carried away...

But...

Are you sure there is nothing we can do?

You can always take it by storm. It is going to be a dream.

But hey, maybe you can make it.

The Chinese say:

"Closed rooms do not stop those who defy walls."

-Do you speak Chinese? -I have traveled.

-It is hot, huh? -It is true that it is hot at yours.

Since the Chinese arrived.

Yes, their house is a real greenhouse.

Look at this.

So they say they grow rare orchids.

I don't mind the humidity. It reminds me of Guyana.

My wife would have liked it.

There was never enough heating for her.

Died two years ago. It was hard to get used to

but eventually you do.

It depends.

It depends.

Do you often see Tigerlily?

No, not really.

I think she is unhappy.

I see her... I have often seen her cry.

-It is you. -I am going shopping.

Can you answer and say I am not here?

If you are tired of her, just tell her.

I already told her. Probably not clearly enough.

-What about you and your fiancé? -He is not my fiancé.

We had them framed. Do you like them?

A lot.

Which one do you prefer?

Both.

That is nice.

Noor is playing a concert at Aymé's.

-Don't you want to come? -Why not.

It is cold. Shall I make you a new one?

If you like.

Valentin, where had you gone?

My darling.

I missed you so much. I looked everywhere. I called loads of times.

Not here. Come. Come, let's leave.

We'll just have to be very careful now.

You are crazy. Being careful is not enough.

We are watched, we need to stop this.

-Completely. -I missed you so.

I didn't dare come as I was scared.

Now I'm getting a divorce. We can be together.

Wait, Claudia, we can be seen.

Calm down, calm down! Freddy is pleading in Lyon until tomorrow.

Excuse me, I am a bit early.

No, no, stay. Come, Claudia.

Who is she?

-She is the new cleaning lady. -Why does she have your key?

Wasn't she in the bar with you earlier?

Yes.

Valentin, are you sure she is a cleaning lady?

Come on, Claudia...

She is cleaning at this time of day?

She is a student, it depends on her class hours.

Calm down.

-Shall we? -No.

I didn't come for nothing.

Give me this little treat.

Where were we again?

No, not now.

-Take me, who cares? -She could come in.

Who cares about that chick!

Oh no, she will hear us.

-Come on... -No.

Come on. You are not funny.

Oh no... She is right there.

At least close the door.

Go close the door.

Come on, mine.

You idiot, you scared me.

-What is that? -I found him on the street.

He was alone, he was sad. Like me.

I am working for Valentin Fontaine, I am replacing Antonia.

-What do you mean? -I need to work.

So when do we see each other?

We'll see. I don't know, I'll call you.

Thanks.

-Are you going to keep him? -Of course I will keep him.

Bye.

Stop, people will see us!

So what?

I just don't like it.

-Since when? -Since.

OK. Ciao.

Ciao.

I came to invite you for a drink, whenever you want.

No, no, no. No. You good man?

Yes, well, I hope so.

Want passport, tomorrow, come to your house. Please.

-Jane, what is wrong? -Jane!

Jane, it is Rose. Open!

-Jane! -She is having a fit.

Open the door, Jane!

-What is going on? -It is Jane.

Break the door down!

Don't hurt yourself.

Step aside. Step aside.

Watch out, Jane!

Jane, Jane...

Calm... Calm... Calm...

Everything is OK.

We need to call the EMS.

That was the last time we saw Jane alive.

We learned the next day that during the night

she had drunk the entire hospital pharmacy

and had fallen asleep,

as she had always dreamed of doing, for eternity.

Sylvia! Sylvia!

I want passport! Passport! I have photo!

-But I don't know your name. -Liu Mei.

Liu Mei? Valentin.

Valentin, I have to go, I'm scared.

-Are you in danger? -Help me?

-Stay with me. -Cannot.

I will help you, but a passport is hard.

We have to meet again. Can we meet tomorrow? Where?

-Little bridge. I wait. -What time?

18:00?

OK, we will go together

and I will take you to a place where you won't be afraid anymore.

Tomorrow, little bridge.

do you think you are behaving well?

That we can trust you?

What will I do with you if you carry on like that?

I am listening.

May this teach you a lesson!

Are you tired of life?

Is that it?

Answer me!

Why do you do this to me?

If you carry on, I will destroy you!

Have you been lying all this time?

-Liar! -That is enough.

Dirty liar!

How long have you been seeing her?

You can see the state she's in.

-I hate you! -Calm down.

-I hate you! -Claudia...

-Do you hear? -Claudia...

You are just a hypocrite!

Claudia...

You prick!

What were you thinking?

That you'd get rid of me like that?

"Come on, shoo, it is over, get lost?"

You are completely reckless. You forgot what happened,

what he did to you and me.

I want to stay alive. I care about it more than you do.

What is wrong with you, Claudia?

What are you doing? Stop it!

Stop!

-Here, in your face! -Are you mad!

You have till tonight to change your mind!

Otherwise, I will tell Freddy

that you are harassing me, that you tried to rape me!

This is what you did! Rapist!

Stop it!

Tell him what you want, he won't believe you.

He knows that you can't rape a nympho like you.

You will regret it, you bastard!

Prick...

I am telling you. She left half-naked.

-Did you see her? -Yes, I did.

-Valentin, I am surprised. -I don't believe it either.

Valentin, he is like the others. People are never what they seem.

Behind the facade...

Behind the facade, what?

You are surprised by what you find.

Where'd she get that fur coat?

-Think it is real? -Yes, it is.

There are often guilty secrets.

Meaning?

Can I help you?

Wait!

Come back!

Damn, a cannabis forest!

That is enough! Stop it!

We have been reported! Go to the cars fast!

Where has that bitch gone?

Sergio, getting some fresh air?

With Henry IV, we went on a good walk. Right, Henry IV?

Come on, good night.

Hey! You there!

I have been watching you for days, you disgusting man!

Do you like little girls? Do you like them?

Have you seen him!

No.

You are crazy!

Get out of here!

Rose, what has happened?

I just witnessed something very painful.

Can I come in?

It is awful.

No, I am not there!

Confirmation is required.

People see terrorists and pedophiles everywhere.

-So we do nothing? -I will keep an eye on him.

don't worry. Is that alright?

No, it is not.

I can't stand thinking badly of people.

This building was......

It was so full of good vibes, and now...

I can't stand it.

The good vibes come from you.

Here.

You are so nice.

You are really cute, Marius. Really.

I think I love you.

"Acquisition of French nationality by marriage.

"Marital status of applicant."

Liu Mei.

Liu Mei.

Can you stop hovering over me? It is annoying.

Sorry.

I can't find my travel bag. Did you move it?

-Which one? -The small green one.

-This one? -Yes, thank you. Are you finished?

Not quite.

Finish up, I will go get the money I owe you.

-There is no hurry. -I insist.

See you shortly.

Laurence?

Careful, miss.

It comes out of the wall, but it doesn't grow.

It doesn't grow!

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

Coming!

-What the hell are you doing here? -I came to see you.

As you are not replying to my texts, I was worried.

-How are you? -Yes, fine. I am working.

I have two tickets for the Hangar concert tonight.

-I was thinking... -Tonight I am working.

I can't. It is very sweet, but I really can't.

Stop.

You are working too hard.

We will go to that concert, it will take your mind off it.

No, I can't, I have to finish work.

I have to revise for my midterms.

-Stop it with your exams. -Hello.

Hi.

-Here. -Thanks.

How are you? You seem a bit... Did you fight?

No, it is fine.

I am done, I am going.

I am going to be away for a while so no need to come tomorrow.

How long will you be gone?

I don't know yet. Goodbye. Let me kiss you goodbye.

Come on, girls!

Look, there is Roger!

Come on, girls!

Hurry up!

Lou, are you coming?

What is it?

-Go straight on. -What is it?

-Straight on. -What is going on?

Teacher!

-Did he faint? -Girls!

Teacher! Teacher!

He is not moving!

Come on, girls, get back in.

Come on.

Hurry up, I say!

It is not a show! Move along!

-Hello. -Hello.

What she does apart from having sex,

no idea.

She is a married nympho too. He is jealous.

He came on the day of Mr. Fontaine's housewarming party.

He beat him up pretty bad. He even said he wanted to kill him.

Kill him? Are you sure?

Yes.

You can ask around, everyone in the building is a witness.

At the same time, he had it coming, Mr. Fontaine.

He was a bit of a ladies' man.

Did he make a pass at you?

But I didn't want to.

So he got rid of me and he asked

one of the kids on the fifth floor

to come and help him with the cleaning.

Well... the cleaning...

Miss.

Were you having an affair with Mr. Fontaine?

We were very close.

Who does these?

I do.

It was that bitch who killed him.

You mean his mistress?

When he kicked her out, she was crazy.

She threatened and scratched him. She said she was going to kill him.

Wait, she didn't say that.

She said he would regret it.

-It is the same. -Elodie...

Not quite, miss.

Careful what you say. Murder is serious.

This is a serious accusation.

-You will be summoned. -I will take you home.

What's this nonsense? You never went out with him!

I may not have been physical, but we were very close.

You two are really freaking out!

With you stealing from the old lady and you lying, I want new roomies.

You are kidding, Noor, you won't do that?

I'm kidding, but if this carries on, I will.

Don't start, when Valentin...

Valentin is dead, so stop going on about him now!

You are really... You disgust me.

Claudia, go open the door!

Can't you go?

-Mr. Frederic Livorno? -Yes, that is me.

Police. We have some questions to ask you.

Is that what the police force is like nowadays?

-Yes, it is. -Come in.

Fontaine, Valentin Fontaine, does this name ring a bell?

-Have you heard of him? -Yes.

It is about the murder of Valentin Fontaine.

What you were doing the day before yesterday between 18:00 and 22:00?

I was busy.

Meaning?

What do you want? Me to tell you

I was busy killing a piece of shit named Valentin Fontaine?

Very well, I tell you.

Mrs. Livorno. Sit down.

We are not joking. Before witnesses,

you broke into the victim's house and broke his arm.

You threatened to kill him.

-It is correct. -Why?

He was fucking my wife.

I don't use those words with everyone, but in the police

you are used to it.

OK, that is enough. Come with us.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-Certain. -You too, ma'am. Get dressed.

Why me? I had nothing to do with it.

You were the victim's mistress. It makes you an ideal assassin's wife.

Maybe even an accomplice.

He is crazy, I had nothing to do with it. He wasn't even in town.

Save it for the station.

You will explain at the station.

-First name? -Frederic.

Frederic.

So, let's recap.

You have admitted to us murdering in cold blood

Mr. Valentin Fontaine in a public garden.

If you say so.

-No, no, it is not "if you..." -Mr. Livorno.

-I can't believe it. -Chouvanet.

For reasons known to him alone, Mr. Livorno

regularly indulges in provocation. You can stop this.

At the time of the events, from 14:00 to 23:00, he was at Dijon court.

A remarkable plea, I was told,

in which you obtained the release of your client

who had committed a crime of passion on the wrong victim.

-If I understood correctly. -It is correct.

Congratulations. Come on, get up.

He couldn't have been in the park at the time of the crime.

Sir.

Freddy, you are being a fool.

I make it worse for myself. You have known my motto since high school.

You are not in school anymore making jokes. You are being childish.

One day, it will go wrong.

You will be under investigation for obstructing the truth.

Yes, but here we come to my second motto:

the line you shouldn't cross, you should always cross it a bit.

Did they release you?

What did you expect?

He wanted to leave you, you can't deny it.

You are a jealous, possessive, passionate woman.

He hurt you.

You are looking great.

You look good in custody.

You too.

Thanks.

You don't know how much I suffer when you walk away from me.

My love...

At last.

-Chief? -Yes, what?

There are two new testimonies for the bridge case.

Come in, ladies.

It is not easy to see you! Hello, ma'am!

I had to deal with a bad guy in the park!

Yes? Hello.

Hello. Is your husband there?

Yes. What is going on?

Please call your husband.

Roger! Roger!

Mr. Marion, do you recognize this cell phone?

Do you recognize this cell phone?

I didn't kill him, I swear. He was already dead when I saw him.

You saw him? Why didn't you tell me about it?

Do you have a computer?

Of course he has a computer. It is there.

Where is the computer?

Where did you put it?

-Where did you put it? -Toilet...

-What is the password? -Sorry?

Your password, Mr. Marion. The computer's password.

-Lolita... -Please speak up.

Lolita.

Lolita, light of my life,

fire of my loins, my sin, my soul.

Lolita.

Roger was not sentenced for his solitary walker's daydreams.

Your death, Valentin, remained mysteriously unexplained.

The investigation ended abruptly.

The police didn't think to question me.

As a good Taoist,

I kept to myself the night when I chased off the nearby traffickers.

In another era they could have been seen

as honest herbalists.

I'm surprised you were given this case.

Didn't you have problems with the bosses

-about the calendar? -The bosses piss me off.

They asked for it, didn't they? They should make up their minds.

Yes, that is the bosses.

Neither the bosses, nor the police found your killer,

Valentin Fontaine.

CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS

And the case was dismissed.

The herbalists in the house across the street had disappeared.

Tigerlily was never seen again.

Her presence will have been short-lived.

Your dream, Valentin.

MANY MONTHS LATER...

Look at this chair.

Amazing what people throw away in the street.

There is a second one.

Not bad?

Did you remember to get cat food?

Yes, I found the one he likes.

We are good here, right?

Yeah.

-You know what I am thinking? -I fear the worst.

Both of us, married.

Having fun on the beach.

Under the coconut trees, on a honeymoon.

Romain...

Don't start again. We are not getting married.

Before I think about getting married, I want to finish my law degree.

Look at where we live, in a hovel where we freeze our ass off.

Nothing works.

It is not a hovel.

I am going to buy it, refurbish it, it is going to be a palace.

I'm on to something here, it will work.

-Trust me a bit. -Stop, Romain, you are dreaming.

I don't believe your dealings.

It is not dealings,

-it is business. -Bullshit.

I want to find a job. Finish my studies, find a job.

Stop talking about marriage, I'm still grieving.

I can't believe it!

Is he going to ruin our lives for much longer?

Fuck...

Pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy!

Pussy! Little cat!

That jerk scared me. Where are you little cat?

Pussy!

Pussy, pussy, pussy!

Pussy!

How did you get into there?

Pussy!

Pussy!

Pussy, pussy! Come!

But what is...

But what is that thing?

Elodie!

I brought the second one!

Are you upstairs?

Elodie, are you upstairs?

Sorry about earlier. I didn't mean it.

I got a bit annoyed.

What are you doing?

You did it...

Give me that bag back.

You killed him. You killed him.

-You killed him. -Stop.

You killed him!

I didn't want to kill him. That jerk fell down.

I only wanted to hurt him.

Give me that bag!

-No! -Give me that bag!

Romain!

Romain! Romain!

It can't be!

-Did you see that? -Call emergency services.

I fucking killed him.

Why did you do it?

-Why? -You loved him.

I was afraid you would leave.

I just wanted to hurt him.

I believe you.

Do you know him?

Not really.

I didn't really know him.

HOTEL RAFFLES SINGAPORE

Do another one more spontaneous, a bit more messy.

-What is it, Noor? -It is Valentin's song.

Valentin's song.

I am drunk mother

I am drunk mom

All I was able to do

Was waste time

I am drunk mother

When the pain gets me

I have nothing else to do

But look ahead

It is unfortunate, Valentin. People are leaving the building.

Buildings are like the sea: one wave chases the other.

People live there, people die there.

People kill there.

People kill there.

And forget everything.

I am drunk mother

With all that blue

All I was able to do

Only a drink or two

I am drunk mother

I am alone now

I have nothing else to do

Than follow the wind

Help me

I am in the sea

Help me

I am in the water upside down
