THE ASSISTANT

You OK?

Breathe, breathe.

Thomas.

We're nearly there.

OK?

No.

Don't worry.

It hurts.

Look out!

Are you OK?

Stay there.

Sir?

Sir.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, madam.

Are you Sébastien Moreau's mother?

Yes, he's my son.

Sébastien?

Why Sébastien?

Wake up, my love.

Wake up.

Come on.

Come on, Sébastien.

Come on, come on.

Sébastien.

Madam.

- Come away, please. - Let me go, he's my son!

Come on.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Let's go outside for a moment.

Shall we?

Léo.

Sébastien.

Nine years later

No!

All right, Léo?

- What's wrong? - Where's Mum?

She's at home.

We can't bother her this late.

Want a drink?

Here.

You'll see her tomorrow.

Go back to sleep, darling.

I'll leave the lamp on.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

You've had a lot of jobs in a short time.

You don't mind moving around?

I enjoy change.

At your age, wouldn't you prefer a fixed job?

It suits me.

I see you specialise in urban development.

- You know about bid tenders? - Of course.

Excellent.

Ah, there you are!

Mrs Ducruet, this is Mr Lemans with whom you'll be working.

It's Ducret.

Marie-France Ducret.

Hello.

Hello, Mr Lemans.

I've been without a secretary for weeks.

So I see.

This is my office.

Where shall we start?

Please.

This is Mrs Ducret who's replacing Mrs Joubert during her sick leave.

Welcome. Take a seat, please.

Thank you.

Call me Marie-France.

Right, we'll start with the most urgent files.

Thomas, can you fill us in on the bid offer

for the Aimé Césaire centre?

Absolutely.

We have all the information,

but the project is more complicated than we thought,

and the local elections aren't far off.

I've outlined a schedule of the various stages

which you'll find in the file.

I'm relying on you to comply

with it fully.

Thank you, Thomas. At least that's clear.

I'm leaving now. Are you staying?

- If you don't mind. - Just as you wish.

See you tomorrow.

Yes.

Do you mind telling me what's going on?

Good morning, sir.

- I thought... - This is my office.

Those are my things.

Town Planning Department.

I see.

You're welcome.

Mr Moncorgé will see you this afternoon.

Take this. I've briefed his assistant.

I reclassified them by subject and colour.

I'd rather be consulted first,

especially by my secretary.

I'm sorry. I thought...

Initiative is fine, but talk to me first.

Town Planning Department.

Yes, of course. He just came in.

Your wife, she called 20 minutes ago.

Put her through.

Yes. Yes, I know.

Prepare the files.

Let me know about the holidays. I need to get organised.

Where are you going?

I could meet you at your parents' and spend the night.

Thomas?

Sorry.

Hello, Léo.

- Who are you? - My name's Marie-France.

I work with your dad.

Is he in?

- He's in the shower. - I need to speak to him.

Can I come in?

It's very important.

I need to speak to him about work.

- Shall I wait with you? - OK.

Nice place.

What are you doing here?

Sorry to call by so late but...

- The architects are due tomorrow. - I know.

- You left rather suddenly. - So?

There's a problem in Pierre's section.

The figures were reversed.

It's not what was agreed.

How come?

- You must be mistaken. - No, I checked.

It changes the classification.

I'll take a look.

It's a little odd my secretary turning up.

Colleague, if you don't mind.

Good night, Léo.

It was very nice meeting you.

Goodbye.

Who was that, Dad?

It's nothing, darling.

Don't open the door next time.

Congratulations. Well done.

Sorry, Pierre?

There was a problem, I let Thomas know.

They were correct!

What are you up to?

I'll talk to Jean-Marc. This isn't over.

Are you married?

I noticed your ring.

What's your colleague's name?

Iman?

What are you implying?

You seem to get on well.

You were right about Beatec.

They have 3 claim investigations.

Well, yes.

Ask for their rating at the Banque de France.

I already did.

And?

- They're in the red. - Ah.

Add that to the file.

Fine.

Maybe I didn't tighten it enough?

On the contrary.

You've wrecked it.

- I've got a friend who... - Stop it, Dad.

I'll find someone qualified. A plumber.

OK?

It'll all have to be changed one day.

One day, yes.

Shit!

I can lend you one if you like.

A checked one? No, thanks.

You can't go back to the office like that.

- Let me wash it for you. - No, it's fine.

Sure you won't eat something? I made a stew.

I'll get something on the way.

- How are things at work? - No time to worry about it.

And Audrey?

We get by.

Really?

Yes.

I have to go.

Here.

For tonight's meeting.

Tonight?

No, it's at 4 p.m.

It's been moved. Didn't you get Jean-Marc's e-mail?

No, nothing.

When did you get it?

Just now, while you were out.

Next time call me straightaway.

I'm sorry.

What will I do now?

I have my son tonight.

- Liliane? - Yes?

Do you mind taking my calls?

No, but does Thomas know?

Cover for me.

Just tell him I'm upstairs.

Here.

What's that?

A shirt.

You're meeting the Mayor, aren't you?

I never asked you.

Don't you want it?

I didn't say that.

Thank you, Marie-France.

Thank you, Marie-France.

- Was this the only colour? - Try it on.

It'll suit you, trust me.

Go on.

I'll turn my back.

What about your son?

Well...

No.

My father's too far away.

And... my wife...

I can fetch him if you want.

Why would you do that?

Because I have time and you don't.

Let me do it.

Hello, Léo.

- Remember me? - Yes.

Your dad asked me to take you home.

How was your lesson?

It was OK.

Shall I take that?

Léo, your bath is ready.

Not undressing?

I'm old enough to wash myself.

OK. But I'll leave the door ajar.

You've school tomorrow.

Haven't you?

Good night.

Sorry I'm late.

How did it go with the Mayor?

It'll be fine as long as we keep to schedule.

Have you been drinking?

I had a drink afterwards, I couldn't refuse.

Of course.

And then you drove home.

How was Léo?

Fine. He's been asleep for an hour.

His mother rang.

She asked who I was.

And you said?

That I was the babysitter.

I stopped by the cash machine.

For the inconvenience.

I insist.

That's not why I'm here.

Are you hungry?

I've made soup.

Do you do this often?

What?

Making soup for strangers.

I like to keep occupied.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Not eating?

I ate already.

Very nice.

I was a little harsh.

No, Thomas, you weren't.

Drive round the block and drop me back here, please.

Pierre needs to correct it.

And don't worry about tonight. Everything's in the fridge.

Don't blow out your cheeks.

And don't breathe through your nose.

It hurts my mouth.

So...

Head straight.

OK?

Shall we try it a little faster?

Marie-France?

Dad?

We'll be late for school.

Shit.

- Where's Marie-France? - She's gone.

- Is she in charge now? - That's ridiculous.

- Others have noticed. - She's good at her job.

She's irreproachable.

What about the file? We can do nothing without her.

- It works better that way. - But I'm your deputy.

That madwoman...

OK, Pierre, I get it.

Can you leave us, please?

Listen.

It's good that she's involved, but everyone has their place.

She's in her place.

She's doing her job.

And well.

Yeah.

I'm going to ask you outright. Is there anything between you?

Sorry if I embarrassed you.

Thanks.

It's funny.

You know everything about me,

and I know nothing about you.

Thomas, I wanted to...

suggest taking Léo to the mountains for a few days.

For the holidays.

The fresh air would do him good.

You could join him at the weekend.

What do you say?

Don't be offended, but it's not a good idea.

It's very kind,

but his mother has something planned.

His mother?

I'm trying to improve our relationship.

It's important for me.

I understand. No need to explain.

It was just a thought.

Think no more of it.

- Excuse me. - By all means.

What were you laughing at?

Pardon?

I saw you.

Little sluts.

Are you nuts?

Go upstairs and fetch your things.

OK?

Go on.

Get lost!

You play like a master. You gave me goose bumps.

Well done, darling.

A good performance.

Your efforts are rewarded.

You can be proud of yourself.

This is...

Marie-France. I work with Thomas.

Audrey, my wi... Léo's mother.

- Éric, my father. - Delighted, Audrey.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hello.

You could've told us Marie-France was here.

I wasn't invited.

Is that how I brought you up?

- A work in progress. - Yes.

How is it working with my son?

- Not easy? - Not at all, it's fine.

He's an excellent boss.

- Will you take us home? - Yes.

- Shall we? - Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Léo!

Happy birthday to you!

Well done!

Is it what you wanted?

It's fantastic!

You've made someone happy.

- It's a bit expensive. - It's my pleasure.

Do I get a kiss?

Thank you.

Thomas said you're a librarian.

More a bookseller.

I have a bookshop.

That's wonderful.

Books...

are one of my passions... along with the piano.

You play piano?

I've been known to.

Ours isn't tuned, but would you play something?

I'll give it a try.

Sorry, Dad invited her.

She's crazy giving him that thing!

I know, but... Anyway, she's leaving soon.

In a month it'll be over.

I bet she'll still be here.

No, I'm used to living alone.

Thomas has his life.

It hasn't always been easy for him.

His mother's death, and the accident...

- An accident? - Yes.

When Léo was born, they had a road accident

on the way to hospital.

He never talks about it.

Are you cold?

A little.

Let's go back.

It's been very pleasant and rewarding for me

to work with you.

I'll miss you.

All of you.

And I wish Mrs Joubert all the best.

Thank you.

Let's drink to Marie-France and Mrs Joubert.

Thanks, Liliane.

You're much appreciated here.

Thomas speaks highly of you, and I agree.

Thank you.

Did you know my secretary's leaving?

It's a much-coveted job.

Tell me more.

Would you like a permanent job?

You and I could work well together.

Are you trying to seduce me, Jean-Marc?

No, not at all.

Shame. You might have convinced me.

You're strangling me.

Stop moving, then.

Is that OK?

I never thought it would happen.

Nor did I.

It's thanks to you.

Do you know her family?

No. She fell out with them.

There's just Liliane, her witness.

I see.

Marie-France Ducret, do you take Mr Éric Lemans

as your husband? - Yes.

Mr Éric Lemans, do you take Marie-France Ducret

as your wife?

Yes.

You may exchange rings.

In the name of the law, Marie-France Ducret and Éric Lemans

are joined in marriage.

Closer together.

Closer, closer.

That's it.

No-one move.

Everyone smile.

Léo.

What about the Seychelles?

Why not?

Unless it's monsoon season.

Thanks.

Can I see?

Is it a package deal?

Look: "all inclusive".

- Bye. - Ciao.

- Marie-France? - Hello, Audrey.

What are you doing here?

I was just passing so I called in. Is it a bad time?

No, I was closing up. We'll go out the back.

What can I do for you?

Well...

I need a travel guide for the Seychelles.

I thought you could help.

I'm not a specialist, but I'll see what I can do.

That's kind.

This way.

Tell me,

how is Léo at the moment?

Better, I think.

Especially now his father and I are seeing each other.

That's good news. It's important for him.

And you?

With Éric?

We've lots of plans.

It's wonderful.

So... Here it is.

The Green Guide. Wait, I think I've another.

Hello?

Hello, Mr Thomas Lemans?

Yes, that's me.

Inspector Puidemain, CID.

It's about your wife. There was a problem at the shop.

Could you come right away?

What is it?

I can't talk on the phone.

Please come to the station.

- Where were you? - Working online, all evening.

We'll check.

What was your relationship with your ex-wife?

We were separated, but seeing each other.

You were living apart?

I got my own apartment.

I see on your file that you were involved

in an involuntary homicide a few years ago.

Can you explain?

Hi, Granddad.

Zorro, come.

Hi, son.

- Can I play on the console? - 10 minutes.

Then do your homework. I won't be long.

Come on, Zorro.

- Did you speak to Thomas? - Yes.

He's still there.

He'll stay at his place tonight.

He'll talk to him tomorrow.

It's the best way.

I'll take care of Léo.

Tomorrow I'll get him a change of clothes.

Thomas was his age when his mother died.

It took him months to accept she wasn't coming back.

Come on.

- It's time for bed. - It isn't my bedtime yet.

- Come on. Hurry up. - Dad!

Go on, Léo.

Come on, Zorro.

You need to rest.

I'll prescribe you something.

Look at me.

You're perfect.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello, Léo.

The class is waiting for you.

Call me if need be. I'm taking care of him.

Coming, Léo?

Goodbye.

That's good.

Better to use a ruler for the lines.

It's for your own good.

Zorro?

Dad?

Have you seen Zorro?

No.

Not since this morning.

Have you looked everywhere?

Zorro!

Hey! Zorro!

Hey, Zorro!

Zorro?

Dad!

- You killed him! - Stop it! I...

What's got into you?

I hate you!

Hey!

Léo.

It'll be OK.

My darling.

Can I go back home?

I think he'll be OK there.

Next to us.

You know, Léo,

she had nothing to do with it.

He was old.

Come on.

Here.

I don't want them.

I'll do without.

You have to follow the dose!

It might help.

Here.

Will you be OK?

Don't worry about us.

Take care of her. She seems tense.

OK.

Can he look after the boy in that state?

- What if I wasn't here? - It's his son, dammit!

- I'm sorry, Marie-France. - Don't touch me!

Any news?

Not yet.

He'll call back.

Can we invite them this weekend?

We could go for a walk.

Or invite your friends.

You can introduce me.

I know no-one on your side.

What's wrong?

I'm fine, really.

I can see you're not.

It's because of Léo.

He's not here!

Not now, but he'll be back.

- You can call him anytime. - His home is here!

With me!

Me!

Please leave a message. Thank you.

Dad, it's me. Hi.

I saw that you called.

I'd like to come and see you.

To pick up a few things.

I'll pick up Léo and come over. OK?

Love you.

We won't stay over.

We'll fetch our things and go.

Is that OK?

Thomas, Léo.

Come in.

Hello.

Nice to see you.

You look well.

Is Dad in?

Not yet.

When will he be back?

He won't be long.

He went on an errand.

He left me a message.

Did he?

- What did he want? - I don't know.

I've something to tell you.

I'm sorry about what happened.

I want you to know I love you.

Truly.

Let's forget it.

I'm so happy to see you.

- How is it at work? - They're being kind.

That's normal, you're convalescing.

Is Mrs Joubert coping with my filing system?

I think so, yes.

That's good.

- Shall we go up? - Yes.

Dad, call when you get this message.

We're at your place.

Bye.

Don't forget your clarinet.

Will Granddad be long?

Sébastien 08.07.1987

What's this?

Where did you get it?

Marie-France gave it me.

Listen to me.

Stay here, OK?

Carry on playing.

I have to speak to Marie-France.

How's it going with Dad?

Fine, Thomas.

Thanks.

Is he often out late?

Sometimes.

He won't be long.

Will you eat with us?

Is this yours?

Was it your son's?

Sébastien?

Sorry?

Is that why you're here?

Thomas, I...

I don't know what you mean.

It was you.

Audrey.

You did it, didn't you?

Really, you...

Where's my father?

You're not well.

Not well at all.

Stay there!

What's going on? Where is he?

Léo?

You're not answering?

That's not nice.

After all I've done for you.

Come here, please.

Where are you going?

Dad's staying here.

He needs to rest.

We'll go away together.

I'm telling you now,

I won't put up with any nonsense.

Get in! Stay there!

We'll rest here for a while.

Shall we?

Léo.
