THE AWAKENING

It's Yann. - Yes?

I just ran over someone.- Shit!

How is she?

No fracture, no haemorrhage. Are you sure you ran her over?

Yann? - You know my name?

She can't remember a thing, but she knows our names.

It didn't bleed at all.

Look at this. - What is it?

No idea. - Where is it coming from?

From the amnesiac girl.

What are you doing here? - Waiting for you.

Who gave you my address? - Romain looks as kind as you.

You know my son too.

Looks like an extremophile bacteria.

How fast is it developing?

Very fast. I don't know if it's pathogenic yet.

I injected it to Tommy.

If she's contagious, it's already too late for us.

Are you drinking a lot of alcohol? - No...

She drinks too much. - How do you know?

I watched her.

You're saying you can read minds?

I can.

She's dropping. - I'm injecting into the heart.

I'll stay with you. - Wait!

I don't understand.

Don't leave me alone.

Why didn't you call me straightaway?

She was already dead when I got there.

I'll stay with you. - Yann?

EPISODE 2 WITH M6'S COLLABORATION

What do you think about this, Tommy?

She looks as alive as you are.

I was afraid you wouldn't be here,

I hate touching these... You got it out of its cage?

I did!

For a blood test.

So? Any news?

Nothing.

Put it in a box.

Morel wants to send it to the CDC.

Why?

What do you think is the purpose of a lab rat?

Hurry! They'll come to pick it up.

They're already at the morgue. Bye.

Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Butchers...

I do all the work and all they do is collect and sign.

They get the glory and I get to do urine analysis.

I won't let them touch you, you hear me?

Look, Tommy,

what looks more like a lab rat

than another lab rat?

Did you move her?

I didn't.

Where is she?

Who came here?

Many people come here.

I'm on my own, I can't check everybody.

Dr Morel...

Is this a habit of yours to lose corpses?

I will find her. - You'd better.

I lost my mind.

The hospital will see me as a body thief.

The police will show at my doorstep. What can I say?

I'm alive.

Obviously.

I don't know how.

But many people saw you dead.

Will they separate us?

You're infected by an unknown bacteria,

you die and resuscitate...

They won't leave you with a simple doctor like me.

Without mentioning your ability... to read minds.

And my son's coming at 12!

I have a bad feeling about this.

She can't just disappear!

It's not your fault.

No? She was treated in my department.

Nobody was infected. They'll give up.

I know them, they won't take risks.

They will protect themselves by sending a report

about the risk of a pandemic.

With a nice name on it: MOREL.

"The Morel pandemic: 100 millions dead."

Just because Voline can't drive.

Dr Morel?

He's busy!

Dr Voline is on line two.

Are you okay? - No, I'm in big trouble.

What's wrong? - Been to the morgue?

Why? - Your friend disappeared.

She's alive. - Can you repeat?

You understood. - What do you mean alive?

Did she leave? - No, she's here with me.

Okay. Can I come?

Sure, come if you want. - I'm coming.

She won't go back to the hospital.

Why not? - I'm not sending her to die.

He says she's alive.

What should I say to the CDC?

Not the kind to believe in resurrections.

Tell them the morgue made a mistake, they cremated her.

Do you realise what you're asking me to do?

Believe me, it's the best way to avoid trouble with them.

Don't let her leave. - Of course!

I'm coming as soon as I can.

We'll wait for you.

He lost his mind.

He wants us to say we cremated the girl by mistake.

That's impossible.

So is the fact that she's alive.

You saw her dead as well? - Yes.

Anne-Marie?

Please cancel all my appointments.

Yes, doctor.

What are you doing?

Have a chat with the dead.

You look like you saw a ghost.

You're hilarious.

You have a twin sister?

I don't know.

She's amnesiac, remember?

She doesn't remember a thing from before the accident.

I'm just trying to find an explanation.

A sister that looks like you, born the same date, rings any bells?

Would she have this too?

She will have to be a clone then.

Okay, it's you.

Have you ever heard of cases of spontaneous recovery?

I have but no resurrection.

We used to bury people alive...

Not nowadays.

Christophe, we studied together.

We know science doesn't have all the answers.

We know that science evolves all the time.

Stop, I know this. - So what?

What's your problem? - I don't have any.

I have samples that show an evolutive pathology.

And a bacteria I can't identify.

You had a heart attack.

Then a second one.

You died on the third one.

Six people in my department saw you dead.

Now the CDC is on my back

and my director is coming tomorrow.

But no, I don't have any problem.

I faked a death. I've never done it before.

You've never met a girl like her.

You're in love with her. - Nothing to do with it.

Maybe but she will live here, with you.

For the time being. - What do you know about her?

Nothing. - You've lost it.

To be honest, it's been a long time since it happened to me.

When was our last prank?

The disguised skeleton in our professor's bed, isn't it?

I'm risking my career now.

You did as well, back then.

I'm asking you in the name of our friendship.

You know what will happen if you take her back.

The CDC will put her in a lab and experiment on her.

And you'll be a laughing stock for not being able to declare a death.

Please, Christophe, for you and for us,

she is dead, cremated.

Okay. I'll see what I can do.

Take care.

We're not out of the woods.

Yes, we are. He will do what you said.

You read his mind from that far?

No, his back was turned but he made up his mind here.

His back was turned?

You can't read someone's mind if his back is turned?

What am I thinking about?

Thoughts are transmitted through the eyes.

Isn't it great?

What am I thinking now?

It's all blurred.

Amazing!

I don't like it, it feels like you're leaving me.

Get used to it because I like being alone in my own head.

Understood?

Hello? Mrs Marchal.

He fell?

Calm down. He's hurt?

Don't move and don't worry.

No, no, no. Don't move. I'm coming right away.

Bye.

A neighbour found her husband lying down in the garden.

His chest hurts.

Heart attack?

Sounds like it. The ambulance is running late.

I'm coming with you. - No, no. Stay here.

Romain is about to arrive, I only see him once every two weeks.

I don't want him to leave because no one's home.

Don't leave me here all alone.

Why are you scared? I'll be next door.

I'll be back quickly.

I leave you my number. - I know it.

Of course you do.

What are you going to say to my son?

A friend visiting Paris, that's alright.

You need a name. - Elodie.

That's Virginie's middle name.

You think about her constantly.

If you keep reminding me as well. Anyway...

I'm in a rush, let's settle for Elodie.

I'll be quick.

I'm trusting you with Romain.

I'll see you in a bit.

I trust you.

What are you doing, Tommy?

It's the Great Escape now?

Easy when the warden is distracted.

Tommy! Back in your cage.

Back in your cage!

Let's check.

Hello.

Hello.

Who are you?

A friend.

A friend visiting Paris, that's alright.

A friend visiting Paris, that's alright. I'm Elodie.

That's Virginie's middle name!

Julie. My name is Julie.

Is Yann not here? - He's on his way.

I have papers he needs to sign.

You're so...

Different.

Sorry?

Different from what?

That doesn't stop you from wearing my dress.

I'm late, I have a recital tonight. Can you give it to him?

You want to sell the house?

It's none of your business.

It's his house.

It was our house.

It's Yann's house and I'm happy here with him.

That's your problem.

I can't argue now, are you taking them?

Make him sign, I'll get them when I pick up Romain.

See you tonight, pumpkin. Be good.

Will he be back soon?

He's on his way.

Pumpkin...

You hate when she calls you pumpkin.

Come in, there are loads of juice and chocolate bars.

For 4 o'clock? - For whenever you want.

The record is 54 seconds, champion.

Hold by Billy the Kid, a young rat doped with speed.

Good luck!

Three, two, one, go!

Billy was completely doped and did the labyrinth 20 times.

You can't win. Billy was super smart.

He'll destroy you. You looked for it...

18 seconds.

Impossible.

Can I try?

It's a new game.

Girls can't play.

Have you played it before?

I know a boy who plays it all the time in his cellar.

You shouldn't play in the cellar,

it's cold and damp.

Mum can't stand the noise, but it's better with sound.

His mum can't stand the noise.

Mine neither.

It's better with the sound.

Your dad is coming back.

Dad?

He's not here.

Hey, Romain!

Dad!

How are you? - Fine.

You're alright? - Yes.

Sorry I'm late.

I went to save someone. - And did you?

Of course.

Barely. Met Elodie? - Julie!

Her name's Julie, like my classmate.

Of course, I know.

You beat me! And I'm the best in my class.

After Abdel and Matthieu.

Do you know them?

No...

I bought pizza.

I'm not hungry. - How come?

Chocolate bars, why did you eat them?

Julie said I could.

If Julie said you could.

What's this? - Papers from Mum to sign.

Mum?

Yeah, Mum!

Whoever you are, can we talk?

Romain, wait for us here.

How can I have a son without remembering his mum?

A notarised document to share a place with a woman I don't know?

You were suffering. - From what?

Virginie's memory.

I don't know any Virginie.

You thought about her constantly. It made you sad.

Now, you feel better.

You can steal memories?

You said you wanted to forget her.

But it's my life, my past.

You can't take away bad memories.

How long did I stay with... Virginie?

Seven years. - Seven years of my life

that just vanished.

How can I tell my son I don't remember his mum?

Did we live here together?

Yes.

She's not the one you thought she was.

What do you mean?

The real Virginie is not the one I took.

I don't understand a thing.

I'm confused, how do you know Romain's mum?

She brought him here.

Alright.

You went into her mind like in mine, Dr Morel's, everybody you meet.

The one you imagined has attributes the real one doesn't possess.

You made up another woman.

Is that what love is about?

We build someone that doesn't exist.

What do you know about love?

You're still a virgin... I mean...

You're like a child.

I completely understand that you miss the woman you imagined.

She's beautiful and pure.

But she's not real.

She is an illusion.

I'd rather be the judge of that.

It made you miserable.

You were confused.

Now, you're better.

No, I'm not better.

I don't know my son's mother, I don't know you or what you want.

I can't be better.

Can you give me back what's mine?

I've never seen her.

Look at me.

What's up with your eyes?

How do you feel?

I want to play video games.

Sorry..

And now?

She's back.

Please leave me alone.

Go and see Romain. Thank you.

Julie!

See? She plays and sings like Mum.

I heard. - Did you like it?

You play piano like me, same mistakes.

Enjoyed it?

I can't play anymore.

What else did you take?

I thought you'd like it.

Sure, I can't play piano and you stole my past.

Anything else?

Try to play.

Voilà, it's easy to do.

To do what?

Exchange things like this.

Are you able to take a skill without erasing it?

Can we both be able to play?

Here... I hold a cup.

Now, you're holding it.

Can you take anything you want?

I don't know, maybe.

It's natural.

Awesome!

Virginie! You took her voice!

You need to meet my maths teacher.

Steal everything he knows to give it to me.

I'll only get good grades. - If you want.

Great!

First, come down to Earth.

And you have to stop doing it.

That's stealing.

People need years to learn something.

You can't take it from them in a second.

You're not fun.

No, I'm not.

Put your seat belt on.

Your mum worked for years to train her voice.

Have you stolen from anyone else?

I don't know. - What do you mean?

What else can you do since the accident?

Nothing...

Yeah! I can win all the video games!

Where did you steal this?

From the boy whose mum drank.

If it can turn him into a reader, even better.

Your vocal cords are fine.

How? Can't you hear it?

Call a colleague.

Don't just stand there!

What are you doing here?

We've come to see Virginie.

It's not the right moment, come after the show.

I'm her ex, he's our son...

Mario!

I'm coming! I need to go.

Please, we have enough problems.

We won't wait for his approval. Are you ready?

Be careful not to mix up again with video games.

Let's go!

Make Reiter come.

He's taking care of Marion Zuccarelli.

Why do I care? She hasn't lost her voice!

Rent a plane and make him come.

Crap. - What?

What am I thinking about? - Pumpkin.

What are you doing here?

I told them to leave.

To wish you good luck. - It's not luck I need.

What do you mean?

Thoughts are transmitted through the eyes.

I lost my voice. I'm useless.

Can I? - What?

Can I see your eyes? - I cried too much.

Trust me, I'm a doctor, remember?

The doctors say I'm fine!

Your tear ducts seem saturated, so it blocks your sinus,

which result the paralysis of your vocal cords.

It's called the box syndrome.

Please let me see.

I must be so ugly. - You're not.

They're just a little bit swollen.

All good?

What is?

That's what I thought.

First, you should rub your eyelids for ten seconds,

and warm up your voice again.

It will never work. - Try anyway.

Romain, give her a kiss, we'll go.

Try.

It will work!

You're gorgeous and talented.

She'll be okay. - Yes.

Awesome!

With Julie, we could learn all the languages in a flash.

She's a superhero like Superman and the X-men.

Romain, that's it, we're not stealing anymore.

Where are you going? - To pee.

I'm sorry, I won't steal from people's minds anymore.

But he knows and he won't forget.

Can I ask you to do it one last time?

Please, he needs to forget that day and forget about you.

About me? - And your ability to...

To steal with your mind.

He will never have a normal life if he knows.

But I like him. - Please, do it for him.

You're a fast learner, but you're still learning.

A boy needs many years to become a man.

Would it be better for you too?

Not for me, no.

We were supposed to spend the evening together.

Will he remember anything?

He won't...

It's better this way.

Romain will be back in two weeks, you could...

The problem is that officially, you're dead.

I'm alive. - That's the problem.

I don't mean that I wish you were dead.

I know.

Yeah, right.

I'll never get used to it.

Hello? - Where are you?

I'm going home.

We have a patient in Nanteuil.

I'm not on duty today.

It sounds serious and everybody's out.

A woman fell from the first floor, the husband is panicking.

Give me the address.

What are you doing here, Tommy?

Are you hungry?

Of course, you are. Oy!

I do tests all day and I don't check the time.

You know what?

I'll keep this...

and I'll make you a nice dinner.

At least, you know what you want.

Maybe one day, we'll be able to communicate.

Drink this, I'll get some cereals.

I brought you...

You drank the whole thing?

Don't worry,

I won't let them do experiments on you.

You and me against them.

Hi. - Hi. Dr Voline.

I told her a million times not to climb on that damn ladder.

I was with the horses when she screamed.

I told her.

Have you called the police?

No, she was alive when I called you.

She was moaning like a puppy.

Try to relax, I'll call them.

Thank you.

Her neck is broken, it's over.

It's him.

What? - He's the one who killed her.

Are you sure? - He was drunk, they argued.

Then he pushed her.

Is it an accident or did he hit her before?

No, he hit her to make her fall.

How can I tell the police?

You want to tell them everything?

Everything?

Let's talk to him.

His mind is so confused.

Don't be scared, I'm here.

No... No...

I don't want to.

Wait for me in the car while I call the police.

Want a warm coffee?

What are you doing?

Nothing, I was proposing some coffee.

A bit weird, your wife. - She's not my wife.

Isn't she? - She's a nurse.

Want some coffee?

Yes, sure.

I wanted to tell you... the husband...

He's drunk. - Really?

You can smell it a mile away. - Yes, so?

It's just... this accident seems strange to me.

Strange?

She must be used to get up there.

What are you thinking about? - Nothing, I...

I feel that she may not have fallen on her own.

That's a serious accusation. Found traces of foul play?

No, it's hard to say. Her neck is broken.

I just wanted to tell you what I thought.

Look, there's always an autopsy after a violent death.

If they found any foul play, we will come back, okay?

Okay. - Don't worry, doc.

Mr Gascogne drinks a bit, but he's a decent guy.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

I told him about my doubts, but he didn't believe me.

They all know him, what can I do?

It's not the only one.

What? - Women.

At least two.

Where?

He knows I know.

Come on, how could he know...

I don't know how, but he knows.

We need to leave now.

He's a monster. - Where are the corpses?

In the water.

In the water?

Tommy, this is Diana, my prettiest rat.

Diana, this is Tommy.

The smartest rat on the planet.

So what do you think?

She's not as clever as you are.

She's a normal rat, like you used to be.

Pretty, isn't she? Make some babies with her.

I'll leave you two alone. - Who are you talking to?

To myself while feeding them.

Morel wants samples from the amnesiac girl.

What for? - The CDC.

They didn't find the bacteria in the rat we sent them.

They called me as well.

I told them they have to get new samples.

I don't have anything.

What do you mean?

I told you that it vegetates and dies.

I would have loved to study the process of degeneration.

We need a sample from tissues.

That won't be possible.

Why?

The morgue made a mistake.

They cremated her.

Shit. - You said it.

Sure you have nothing left?

Nada.

Morel will be delighted.

Sorry.

It's not your fault.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, doc.

We know she's still alive, don't we, Tommy?

Dr Voline's secret.

Like you and me.

See you later...

Be good.

What? - He looked at me.

He can't see us from here.

He just keeps on working.

He knows we're here.

You can't be able to read his mind from here, can you?

No...

I can't but...

He's like an animal, he can feel things.

Why can't we leave?

You're scared too. - Because...

I'm not an animal, I have a conscience,

I can't do nothing while I know this man killed and will kill again.

I became a doctor to save people,

not let them be killed by a drunkard.

I loved my grandfather.

You remember him? - I do.

He used to be a vet in Normandy.

You're talking about my grandfather and my memories.

Don't you have any memories?

An image, a smell?

A big car... with a large bench seat.

They put me between suitcases so I won't fall.

The big car was a Mercury Monterey, it belonged to my father.

And the child in the back, that was me.

It's time.

We can't see a thing.

It's too deep here.

Julie, no!

Julie!

Julie!

Julie, come back!

Julie!

Hello, doc!

Is it biting?

Come back here slowly.

The police know we're here.

Liar, liar.

Those guys are my drinking buddies.

Are you looking for this?

You shouldn't leave your car open.

There are thieves everywhere, like rats.

I blow them up when they come to steal the horses' food.

I never miss my target.

Wait! My friend is in the water!

Water's rotten.

Your friend's dead like the rats in it.

Julie!

Julie...

Come on in.

Stay here, I'll prepare your rooms.

What rooms?

I'm not feeling well... at all.

Don't lose it, please.

Together, we'll get through this.

Have a seat.

You're feverish.

Why did you dive?

And you were not coming up.

How long can you hold your breath?

They're all at the bottom.

In the middle of the pond.

They are in metallic barrels. Five of them.

I saw five of them.

That's what he called our "rooms".

Look, you're the only one that can save us.

What?

By stealing his will to kill.

You said it's wrong to steal from people's minds.

If you don't do anything, he will kill us.

No...

Please. One last time...

No...

Why not? It's absurd.

Because...

Because I will become a monster like him.

So she's running wild with the mind of a serial killer.

Where is that blood coming from?

I'm looking for Maria Chakina. - Who are you?

Her father.

What are you doing here? - I have to stop her!

I'm being held hostage by a cop.

Open the door! - Yann!

He wants to destroy me.
