Original subtitles

Yeah, that looks good, spread them out.

Make sure they're all on.

Dude, then help me turn them on, let's go

just set all the flashing ones up front.

I am helping, relax, man.

Their stats company is a front for selling stolen goods.

Pepo's business partner was just arrested

in Los Angeles a few days ago.

These assholes are getting caught on all sides.

Now I get the bloodbath at The Méridien.

And the meeting with Tomasov?

Want to know what I think? Their honeymoon in Paris.

To me, it's a getaway.

Wait, wouldn't that mean he could get arrested while he's in Paris?

No, there's not that much risk of getting extradited out of France.

At least, not for people like him.

He's slippery. He came here to lie low and rebuild his life.

Shit, it's the cops, let's go.

Hey, stop right there, stop! I said stop!

- Shall we go? - Come on.

Think the Fethanis know about this?

I don't think so.

But be careful anyway.

AN HBO ORIGINAL SERIES

You see, there's one there, in Courbevoie.

Not too bad, pretty decent overall.

But it says the transmission's kaput.

We could maybe get some kind of discount because of it.

And besides, we'd be getting fryers with it, that's a plus.

- That thing's a total wreck. - No, it's not a wreck.

- Yeah, it is. - It's a work in progress

- actually, so… But whatevs. - Okay.

Are there any others?

Yeah, this other one here looks like an option.

Really? Show me.

Yeah, but this is way out in Mulhouse, so it's far away.

But it's in better condition for a start. Look here.

Oh, yeah. But remember our goal here.

We want it to have style, and this one just looks sketchy.

- You're so annoying. Here, then. - What?

You're being annoying. Complain, then go on.

I assume you've got a better one?

Well, no, I'm working, but we'd be able to get a lot nicer truck

- if we both keep looking. - Okay.

- Don't you want to eat the sushi? - No, I'm not hungry.

And I'm tired anyway, my head hurts now.

Okay.

- Should I head out? - Yeah, I need some rest.

You take off, and I'll get to bed.

You mad at me?

No, no, it's all right.

And I got to work early tomorrow.

- Kisses. - Kisses.

Can you close the door when you leave, please?

- Yeah, of course. - Thank you.

It's a bit like going fishing.

You adjust the type of hook to the type of fish.

When an Emir arrives with his wives and mistresses in tow

we fill the shop windows with emeralds.

All it takes is a little argument in the morning.

Then, if he spots them on the way to his room

there's a good chance he'll buy them as an apology.

- Isn't that a bit of a cliché? - No, it's just statistics

and proven by 20 years of experience.

- And so? Your opinion now? - It's incredible.

One important rule, never offer them the newest item.

It looks tacky. Or the most costly.

You can't give the impression that you're hunting

for the largest commission possible.

Do employees get paid commissions?

Those working as concierge staff get opportunities, yes.

My sister is unbearable, it's true

but above all else, she needs security.

When you're raised by a father like the one we both have

you look for love wherever you can find it.

If we want to stop her from getting married

then we need Reem to lose all of her trust in Mark.

If she feels betrayed.

then she might call it all off.

But only if it's truly concrete.

If it's just me talking to her, she won't listen to me.

Let me send over an associate to snoop around.

- "Associate"? - A concierge owes me a favor.

Steve has information, we just need to find the proof.

You agree, yes? My role in this will remain secret.

Trust me, all right?

And why did you want to see me?

I want you to give me a ride to Le Bourget.

Doors opening.

You partying over in Sweden?

Of course not.

I have to go to Dortmund, I'm taking care of a few things.

But it can't be on my room charge, because the club can't know.

Or Cédric, I'm sure?

Yeah, my new agent has meetings I got to go to.

- Is he pissed off now? - Nothing's signed yet

so I'm not planning on spilling anything before.

Just drive to Le Bourget, take the Lambo out for a spin, why not?

Yeah, no, that's a headache.

But why's that? Is it in the shop or what?

No, it's just a headache, that's all.

Yeah, but why? The car goes 200 miles per hour

and you never take it out.

What's wrong?

I've got no license.

Come on, you going to get me a ride then?

Please, for you? Anything.

But I'm going to come along with you.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Yeah, I figured.

All right, and we're just touching down now.

Okay. Landed.

You all right? Was Seville beautiful?

Yes, Seville was very beautiful.

But the opera was shitty.

Doors opening.

- Where you going? - I got a job for 508.

Forget it. The owner needs you now.

Ms. Fethani?

Amal, Reem is my client.

Coming?

We can tuck it into the skirt. It won't show.

The corset looks okay?

- Have you taken it up? - Yes, I'll do it.

Can I have a pin, please?

No, I think that's too much now. Here.

It's fine, we can go.

Apparently, you're good at this.

I hope it's true.

- Sorry, what am I supposedly good at? - Seduction.

Anyways, it's not difficult with my sister.

She always desires the few things she doesn't have

- especially if they belong to me. - Sorry, but did you talk

- to the General Manager, or… - All right, we're on.

Reem has the patience of a four-year-old.

It's taking forever, what is she doing?

- Just wait a while. - Here she is.

I called down for my concierge.

- It's better to see it being worn. - It's beautiful.

Magnificent.

So stunning.

Go on, get up.

- Your opinion? Go on. - I think it's beautiful.

- It'll suit you. - Oh, yeah, I love it.

No? What do you think?

I'm not sure.

Yeah, I don't know.

- You think it's me, I mean? - I don't…

I guess I'm not sure, I…

Yeah, I don't know.

- Yeah. - I'm not sure it's my type of dress.

It doesn't fit my vibe at all.

- Yeah, no, not at all. It's not you. - You're right.

We made the dress just like you wanted, miss

it was designed per your exact instructions.

What's happening?

It's much better like this.

Right?

There you go.

- Oh, my God, that's much better. - That's gorgeous.

Making this dress by hand took 500 hours, miss.

If you would like us to make some adjustments, then we can…

Yeah, yeah. 500 hours.

And in less than one minute, someone else

made improvements to your work.

- Tell me your name. - Adele.

I guess you have to have sex with the General Manager

to get the best employees, huh?

Mark's away on a business trip. Tonight, you'll go out with me.

Mr. Yemta?

You're listening? I told them not to do it

and they just… they just laughed. I…

I should just forget…

Oh, my God. I don't care tonight.

Hey, careful, out of the road.

You got to watch the road, Reem.

You all right?

You're officially cleared to be on the 7th floor. Congratulations.

Doesn't seem like much of a promotion.

It could be.

- If you want to take the chance. - What do you want?

I'd appreciate you mining a little info on Pepo.

Doesn't matter what.

It could be financial documents, lawyers' papers.

- Send me photos as proof of it. - And what if someone catches me?

Well, just don't be sloppy.

Okay, I'm on it.

Here. It's all here and weighed, don't worry.

Thank you.

Get any other sort of job, you can call me.

Of course.

I really do apologize, your room isn't quite ready yet.

What do you mean?

We need to find a solution. Find it quickly.

- What the hell are we going to do? - Got it.

- Mrs. Troadec, how are you? - Who are you?

After you. See, this is one of our best suites.

Double billing? Where'd that come from?

I improvised.

Her husband sends you his thanks.

Not the most recent, or anything at top price.

All right. This is perfect for you. This model is quite rare.

It's an Omega Spin Master. It will wind itself automatically

and comes with a stainless-steel band.

It's the model worn by Lance Armstrong

on his moon walk actually.

Neil Armstrong.

Lance was cycling, he wasn't out in space.

- And this was Issa's idea? - Yes, of course.

Doors opening.

Please select your floor.

- Hello? - Yeah, hi.

- Your name? - Charki, Adele.

Appreciate it.

I need your cellphone, please.

- For what? - Don't allow 'em here.

Sorry, it's better that I keep it in case

one of my other clients tries to call.

The same rule applies to everyone, even for you, a VIP.

Or you can't come in.

Okay.

- That's a bit much, isn't it? - We're working here.

You got Reem to laugh for a couple of minutes

but you're not buds.

(Arabic)

You all right?

- Yeah. - Oh, I don't know the lyrics…

Improvise, just go for it!

Come on.

(Arabic)

Fuck.

What are you doing over here?

You mean…

You here to deal or to fuck?

- Just helping out. - Oh, yeah? Okay.

Are you interested?

STAFF ENTRANCE

What time this morning?

Eight o'clock, I think.

I just had a crazy hallucination, I imagined I saw a horse.

What's up with you?

- What? - I don't want you on the 7th floor.

You're not qualified to look after Reem.

But why?

Everyone saw you. Don't you feel ashamed?

Esther, please, Reem told me I should have some fun

- I wanted to keep her happy. - But you can't believe the guests.

It's you who needs to know your place.

Okay. Sorry, really.

I'll just go to the desk.

Don't you dare, you stink of alcohol.

The others don't want to see you here today.

Wait, Esther, I'll shower and clean up, okay?

Just five minutes, let me get ready quick.

Don't argue with me.

Get out.

What do you think?

Are you pleased with it?

It's magnificent.

Thank you.

But I can't ride horseback.

I can help you out.

Excuse me.

Have you heard from your associate?

Because I keep hearing talk all about Mark and Reem's wedding…

and we're running out of time.

Tell me, your sister, any reason she'd buy a passport out of Russia?

- She wouldn't. - We haven't been beaten yet.

Here you go, enjoy.

Some cheese?

That'd be great, thanks.

Of course, enjoy.

- Just a soda, right? - Yeah.

- You all right? - Yeah, just fine, you?

You kept it from me, why?

I explained, it's a now or never thing.

But I gave you enough money to buy a nice truck

- so what is this, Déborah? - But this is fine with me.

Guess I'm just simple, I'm not fancy like you.

The Lambo? No, a guest lent it to me, we kind of became friends.

Oh, right, because you're balling with them now. Super.

- Enjoy, love. - Thanks.

You know all that, Déborah.

Actually, I'm pretty confused.

I hope you're not being a whore, but…

- What? - Thank you.

- Please come again. - What did you just say?

I hope you're not being a whore, that better? You heard that?

So, hop along.

It's you who pulls me down, Déborah.

- Oh, seriously? I am? - Man, just stop dreaming so small.

- All right? Think bigger. - It's too small, really?

- Then why are you here bugging me? - I'm wasting my time.

- Just give it up. I'm going. - Okay, bye then, so long.

Fine. Just get lost, I can't be bothered with you.

- Just go fry up shit in your truck. - "Fry up shit"?

Watch it, I'm going to shove it up your ass, now. What a bitch.

Hi, sir. Want a cheese and honey one?

- Yeah, one of those, thanks. - Enjoy your meal, thank you.

- Thank you. - Hey there, kids, how are you?

The pizzas here are homemade, three different cheeses.

Try them, they're really, really good.

All right, coming up. Hey, girls, how are you?

Would you like some pizza?

If you want one, too, wait a sec, I'll get you one.

Wait a minute. Take this.

Go on, go on.

Go, it's all right.

What are you doing?

Well, I know that I promised a drop off

but I can pick you up at least.

I kept calling, where were you?

I had an issue that day.

So, what's with Cédric?

Nothing, why?

Just quit it, Adèle, I'm not an idiot.

He mentioned a watch, apparently from me.

Yeah. But I just thought that

a present could help Cédric kind of move past this before you…

And did I mention a gift?

No. Is there something else that he wants?

Let's exchange it for something he'd want more.

I'm not paying for some crappy watch, be serious.

Did I mention a gift, yes or no?

No, but the job is to try and anticipate those things.

It's my job, if I overstepped

- I'm sorry, that wasn't… - So change your job, then.

And it's not your Lambo, so quit pretending.

Return the keys to the desk, I'll take a taxi.

Yeah, of course.

- Here, 508, Yemta. - Okay.

Congratulations to us on a great year.

Look out, it's hot, miss. Thank you.

We all worked so hard…

Guess I'm fired, right?

Why would I fire you?

You slept with a dealer, weird choice

but not my business.

What matters is the passports you found.

- Now just get me a few photos. - No, that's the thing, I can't.

So I'm fired. They confiscate people's phones.

Have you got plans for tonight?

Come on.

Well, it's Christmas. Right?

Yeah, I know it is.

When I was a kid, I lived alone with my mother.

On Christmas, we'd ask to borrow the neighbors' car

and drive all night to the prison where my father was held for a visit.

He served his sentence in Châteauroux.

And I don't need to tell you that

Christmas in prison isn't exactly a fairy tale.

You all right?

Adèle, well, Michel, my father, you know each other.

Wait, he's your dad?

- Well, how're you? - Pretty good.

I remember the car rides home, awful music playing on the radio

pretending that my mother wasn't crying beside me.

Right, cheers.

- Bottoms up. - Yeah.

No, come on!

Turn it up!

All right, all right, the music's going.

- Adèle! Not bad? - Yeah?

Thank you.

So, Michel was the reason you created the program.

Well, who else would hire a guy in prison for seven years?

So, you did pretty well?

There's nobody around me with my ambition.

My friend is like, in her mind

she thinks staying poor is just how…

you stay a good person.

But to me, there's nothing really noble about struggling.

I don't understand why it's so bad that we just want to exist

like everyone else. To be respected.

And you think that having power always requires being a criminal?

You're more powerful than you think, Adèle.

What happens if you can't find anything else on the American?

Well, I got other opportunities.

Michel is getting close to retirement

and assuming you get fired, just don't…

Don't worry about it, I'll get you work.

Why would you care about helping me so much?

Would it really be impossible to go back to the 7th floor?

You all right?

Yeah.

You angry about Reem or about the man?

You're sabotaging yourself, I don't care.

It's just sad for you.

You're so pretty lost in thought like that.

Can you even help yourself?

Are you jealous?

That's it, you're jealous, aren't you?

- You like me, is that it? - Not a chance.

Okay, I shouldn't invite you out, then?

- Okay. - Doors opening.

Am I dreaming?

What the fuck is this?

Mark, wake up! What the fuck is this?

- What are you… - Explain this to me!

Are you serious? Mark, what the fuck?

Hey, don't… Calm down!

Oh, my God! Mark!

We can put this in the lobby.

- It seems pretty nice. - Hello, Eric.

- Hi. - How are you? Miss.

It's you and me from now on.

Marina, this is yours, right?

Yeah, where the hell was it?

It was by the lockers, Chanel found it.

What would we do without Chanel?

Wow, I barely recognized you. Some outfit.

What are you doing here?

Is that how you say hello?

- Tell me what's going on. - What are you doing here?

- You messing with me at work? - No, no, I just hate it

when I don't understand certain things.

- Aren't you used to that now? - Yeah, yeah.

All right, so at first I'm like, "She's robbing her clients

or being a whore, or hell, doing both."

But there's something more, you make too much.

So just explain to me what it is.

Listen carefully, it's simple.

From now on, you'll give me a cut of the money.

Is that what you want?

Here.

I'm no cheap whore, you got it?

Let's see your colleagues up there, explain who you really are.

Security for Adèle Charki at the gallery.

What is that for, huh? What're you going to do?

- Like I said, I'm not scared of you. - Yeah, okay.

- What's going on? - Nothing's going on.

- Tell them, explain who you are. - This guy's a hotel rat.

I saw him going through a guest's things.

Oh, really?

- Sir, I'm going to ask you to… - Hands off!

- You're coming with us. - What are you doing?

You're all just a bunch of assholes.

Hands off me already!

What was that?

Don't worry, we've got it under control.

- Don't worry. - No. What was he doing?

No, no, don't worry.

Doors opening.

Going up. Doors closing.

(Arabic) He said he was messing with me

he actually was messing with me, that bastard!

He wants to decide my life

but he can't control me like some doll.

Oh, my God. I didn't get rid of my father

only to end up with someone worse than him!

(Arabic) He's worse than my father, actually!

I mean, what would I do in Moscow?

(Arabic) He wants to take me to Russia

what am I going to do in Russia?

You know, Amal…

She was right, too.

Told me, "You don't know him yet."

She's right about that, who's Mark?

He just came into my life with a smile on his face.

He seemed like he knew, knew all my thoughts

knew everything, that he could see me, and…

and me, so stupid…

I'm such an imbecile, I…

(Arabic) Stupid, I'm so stupid.

I believed, you know?

I really thought someone could…

that someone might maybe love me for who I really am, but…

Don't be like that.

What about the marriage?

What marriage?

There's no more marriage.

- Édouard, my dear friend. - Mr. Fethani.

I had no idea you were coming

I would have arranged a welcome for you.

- Hello, sir. - Not for me.

Édouard, we have issue here.

Mr. Pepo has informed me of a security breach

that took place at the hotel.

And just a week before Reem gets married here.

Yes. Well, we're looking into it now.

And… I imagine you weren't made aware, but…

it seems that Mr. Pepo has had issues of his own in the United States.

Spare me your usual nonsense. You suppose I would be ignorant

about my son-in-law?

Well, so about that, I…

I must tell you that your daughter has just informed us

that her intention is to break off the marriage plans.

It's none of your business.

- Hey. - Reem, I'll take care of her.

Causing a scandal is not desirable for anyone right now.

We'll settle this affair ourselves.

Listen to me carefully, Édouard.

You have my word it's going forward.

This marriage will happen. Have no doubt, yeah?

What we need to know is…

are you with us?

- Are you? - Yeah.

Yeah, great.

So, we just, get to work and find the rat.

Hollow one

With inverted tongue

From whence does fulfillment come?

When I expel

From this mortal shell

Will I die for living numb?

Am I vital

If my heart is idle?

Am I doomed?

Am I vital

If my heart is idle?

Am I doomed?
