Are you tired of a system that oppresses you?

That forces you to work harder,

faster, longer?

Are you sick of being bled dry?

All to make billionaires rich!

We will show them that we can get in their way!

Of course, they tell us, "Yes, you can speak.

"When it's your turn!

"Get involved in politics, with your vote.

"Demonstrate, but within the limits you're given".

It is that "but" that bothers me!

Is it civil disobedience to simply refuse

the diktats of politicians? I say it's not.

The interests of society are in no way more important

than those of individuals.

"The freedom of all is the freedom of each".

There is worse than the economic impoverishment of citizens:

there is intellectual impoverishment,

the annihilation of individuals who melt into the mass

to become more and more servile and thus less and less able

to participate in the development of the community.

We must stand up

and reject all forms of abuse

that extinguish human dignity.

Hello, nephew.

We are ready.

Paul Lajoie was expected by a gunman

who reportedly fired on the financier.

The individual is believed

to have fled in a car. The police...

What do you think?

We need to stain him.

He duped the investors.

One of them got even. Anything.

It's clear.

The Stockholders' Agreement

provides that the majority stockholder

may unilaterally amend,

split or even terminate this Agreement without prior notice

and without the consent of the other stockholders.

Nobody's questioning that.

However, with 40% of the stock,

my client wants to share the decisions

regarding the company's future.

He's going to the hotel.

Spot on!

My client is perfectly capable of ensuring

the company's survival.

The latest events have proved this quite clearly.

My client's been here from day one.

He knows everything about this company.

Johanne,

I'm gonna ask you to leave.

Évelyne, you too.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'd like a room.

- Do you have any preferences? - Not really, no.

We're not on the same side of the fence.

What're you talking about?

I'm talking about drug

and arms trafficking, money laundering.

Do you know all I had to do to prove that Blue Moon

is more than that? - Exactly.

I could've helped you.

We did what we were asked to do.

So you keep saying you didn't know it was fraud.

No more than you.

When you say that,

I don't believe you.

There you go.

Room 1118. Take the elevator on your left.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

That part of the agreement has not yet been negotiated.

I'm getting in the elevator. I'll call you back.

It's a lost cause, then.

- You won't believe me anyway. - You're not very convincing.

So what do we do?

I don't know.

There's nothing we can do.

I'll sit back and wait.

You can also sweep up.

You know, Justine,

I'd like to help you.

But if you don't let me,

I'll never prove that you can trust me.

Hello? Ah, Mr. Francis. Tell me what to do, I'm getting to the room.

OK.

They're on their way.

He just left the office.

How did it go?

It didn't.

Did you make an offer?

I didn't get a chance.

But I don't think I can afford to buy his stock.

This isn't good for you or him.

We're getting fewer contracts.

Well, you can't play straight in this business.

- Are you telling me off? - No.

No, but Justine, we're good when we go underground.

In broad daylight, we're like our competitors.

- You want a lesson? - Can I have the same?

A little smile, Mr. Lacasse?

Get out of here!

Thank you.

Get out!

Really, Bob,

I didn't bust my ass all this time to end up tracking cheaters.

He's right. Things are far from exciting.

It's also part of our mission.

This is your boyfriend's fault.

Since he inherited,

we've been doing cheating cases,

workplace accidents

and unpaid rents.

Feeling better now?

Admit it, it sucks.

I know. Since she took over, nothing ever happens.

I like her, but things are getting fucking boring.

The numbers are really bad.

Your experts are expensive.

We've narrowed our fields of activity.

We'll start taking dope cases again.

That's not what I'm saying.

We are responsible for 300 employees,

parents who have children to feed,

raise and educate.

That's a reality, too, Justine.

Their well-being was always your father's priority.

I want this company to be clean.

I'm all for underground activities,

I just want better supervision.

Thanks, Benoît. He really got this company into deep shit!

You're in charge now.

Do you know why he got shot?

The investigators are on it.

Could it be related to our case?

Probably not.

He wouldn't be the first financier killed by an unhappy customer.

I've a problem.

Justine wants my shares.

What for?

I don't know.

She blames me for Benoît.

If you go, we cut all ties with Blue Moon.

- You know that. - Yes.

You should tell her, though.

It'd be ideal if you gave me a mission.

I have one.

Thylan Manceau.

Fuck him.

I'm talking about a real mission.

It'd help us on a political level.

You're in no position to play hard to get.

- Mrs. Laurier, please wait here. - Great. Thank you.

Justine?

- Denis Beaugrand. - How are you doing?

Well, the election's got me busy, but I'm fine.

I know you're going to meet some of our people.

You know that?

They have a mission for you.

Please give it some serious thought.

- It won't be long. - Thank you.

What are we talking about?

The kind of thing that...

I shouldn't know.

I hate when you say that.

Any problem, call my chief of staff.

What're you doing here?

I was asked to come.

- Who called you? - Brosseau.

Secret Service.

What are you doing here?

I was called, too.

- Hello. - Hello.

Have a seat.

We apologize for... rushing you like this.

We're seeking to infiltrate Thylan Manceau's entourage.

Why Thylan Manceau?

He doesn't seem dangerous.

That's what everybody says.

OK. Why don't you assign that to the Royal Mounted Police?

It sounds like a case for them.

There are things we don't know and can't figure out.

You want us to tell you what you don't know?

We'd like to keep an eye on him and his inner circle.

We think they're up to something big.

Like what?

We don't know, but some not very kosher people

are starting to hang around him.

It's your call.

You're the boss.

I would like to have a minute with Justine...

Of course.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

She's nice, but you don't go to war with that.

No.

Does Bill C-51 ring a bell?

Vaguely.

It's about activities that jeopardize the security

or territorial integrity of Canada.

As long as Thylan Manceau doesn't disturb anyone,

he's untouchable.

If he decided to stir things up a bit

and commit acts of violence,

we could intervene.

You want to frame him?

I think you got it.

The Secret Service believes it can get out of hand quickly.

This is a job for the police, not for us.

The contracts between Blue Moon and the Secret Service

are a matter of national security.

I know.

Unlike us, you'll never be prosecuted.

So it's political.

Do it for Denis.

He stood up for Blue Moon when you were in trouble.

And the Secret Service really likes working with Milan.

He's not the kind to agonize over trifles.

The message is clear.

They want us to do the dirty work for them.

Watching Manceau is a piece of cake

and it'll put our people to work.

He made it clear that you're appreciated

because you don't get easily worked up.

He told you that?

You like getting on your knees?

You think I'm enjoying all this situation?

Believe me, I'm not having fun.

I've given 10 years of my life to this company.

It's not my fault Benoît played your father.

I've a feeling he wasn't the only bad apple.

He left you his stock, after all.

You think they gave me a choice?

They didn't say, "Laurier's daughter will take over".

Listen to me.

It was them who asked me to take the helm.

They forced Benoît to leave me his stock.

Because he was indispensable.

We do clandestine operations. What did you expect?

"Thanks, it's been a pleasure, we'll call you"?

No. They would've landed with search warrants,

they would've... Look at me, dammit!

They'd have filed complaints, and you wouldn't have a single client.

That's the truth.

If you don't believe me,

go and see Bob.

Ask him what they did at Execute Corp.

He's so sweet, you'll believe him.

I saw the boss.

- Everything under control? - Yes... He was happy.

Careful, here he comes!

- Alright? - Yes.

- Will you be here Friday? - Of course.

Massoud?

No. Your stuff's boring.

- Of course I'll be here. - Be careful.

We're being watched.

- We're clean... - But they're waiting

for us to slip up. - Exactly.

We'll keep an eye out.

Thanks.

He's so nice, he's almost naive.

So, Thylan Manceau and his organization,

the famous Network.

He can instantly reach over 100,000 people.

Little rebels.

Francis, please.

Really, what do they do besides demonstrating?

Our mission is to find out what's going on inside.

The movement is growing.

The typical case is male or female, 25 to 35,

middle class youth

who support Manceau's opinions.

They demonstrate for no reason.

It's not exciting,

but it's our mission.

I don't mean to be rude, but I'm a communications expert.

Tracking demonstrators...

OK, what's the problem?

You assume there's nothing unusual going on?

What do you know? You think we're gonna be dealing with kids?

I'm a sniper and a paratrooper.

I've no business dealing with morons.

Look...

If Justine, Bob and I said yes to this,

it's because we think there's more.

Francis, would you ask the Secret Service

if Manceau's gang is just protesters?

Milan and I will investigate. Bob takes over operations.

We'll meet every morning to plan the day. Is that OK?

- Yes. - OK, good.

Mass thinking is instilled in the students.

They're confined in the social media nonsense

to keep them from thinking.

They have to be slaves, and certainly not think.

But they do need to spend. That's key.

Have you read 1984? George Orwell?

Modern slavery.

Slavery nowadays is...

It's the 40 hours a week spent behind a desk

to pay for accommodation, commuting, food,

and education. You're not chained,

but you will work tomorrow,

next week, next year and all your life

to pay for the river of interest

that your life on credit costs you.

I feel helpless in this.

Alone, we're not much.

But together, we can achieve big things.

Come with me.

Go ahead and cross the street.

All the way.

Keep crossing.

And... stop!

We can do nothing alone.

But look at us now. Together,

we can block this street all across the island.

Hold on a second!

We're in the middle of something. Relax. It's just one second.

See? When we bare our teeth, they become really polite.

And why is that?

Because people are afraid.

Well, I say, "No more fear".

We have company. So, don't be afraid,

but do leave when it's time. Alright?

Have a nice day, gentlemen!

Do you have a minute?

Yes.

You're gonna play it straight.

What do you mean?

I want to know what you do, how and with whom you do it.

Like I always have.

As I say,

"The secret in this business is teamwork."

OK. Where do we start?

Brosseau's got some information.

Keep me posted.

Justine!

Thanks for trusting me.

Can you print out Lagarde's interview

for the Financial Times?

Did you see this? It just came out.

"Market manipulation by American banks".

They're just about 10 years behind.

- Thylan, can I talk to you? - Yes.

Do you know him?

Me neither.

- He's not a regular. - You'll have to get used to it, man.

- Should we do something about it? - No.

They're gonna hear us anyway.

Maybe we've already been tapped.

It's him.

Milan Garnier.

- Blue Moon? - Yeah.

We need to be smart.

Don't rush things.

- Are you ready, Yanis? - Yes.

You have to call William.

- The boss gave his green light? - You bet.

I was thinking...

Would you go back to school?

Sure.

I can see myself with a lunchbox.

Awesome.

I'd like you to learn this.

Neoliberalism: A Dead End.

Are you out of your mind?

It's your next job.

Neoliberalism sounds pretty exciting.

I want you to get close to Thylan Manceau.

- Are you serious? - Yes.

It's totally thrilling.

Going undercover - a new character, a new life.

- Is Justine OK with this? - Yes.

I'm talking to you first, but this is her idea.

And I can get close to him? Like, really close?

He's quite handsome.

Yes. You can.

- You wouldn't mind? - No.

It'd even...

It'd even turn me on.

Do what?

She will join the group. She volunteered.

- You really want to do that. - Yes... Why?

- It's dangerous. - Stop.

- We don't know that people. - We will.

And... You're fine with it?

Yes.

And she said 'yes'.

She's excited about it. It's a challenge.

I don't know, Milan.

Listen, Justine, it was her idea.

Please, trust her.

Just think about it.

First, we gotta identify our targets.

Then you'll come in.

Perfect. The Network members text, talk,

leave traces everywhere. It'll be fine.

Jérémie, you'll give us a rundown of who does what,

to see how they organize themselves.

No problem.

What do I do? Count the pencils and erasers?

- We'll track the influence peddling. - Yay!

Thylan knows people.

We'll make a list of his contacts.

Thylan inherited his father's fortune.

His mother's in Switzerland. No siblings.

OK. What about Chloé?

We might see her on the other side.

Even better - she's going back to school.

- She's going to infiltrate them. - What?

Have you heard the news?

What news?

A bomb went off in the business district.

It's starting to look like a planned thing.

OK, I'm gonna check it out.

Did you hear?

Yes.

What are you up to?

I just watched a documentary

on neoliberalism.

I got most of it.

Ever heard about the invisible hand?

No.

Well, a baker

doesn't make bread out of altruism.

He makes bread to please his clients. He gets richer

and more productive for society as a whole.

How is that an invisible hand? No freaking idea.

Normand?

What're you doing here?

You know me. If it blows, I'm there.

You dropped out of the army?

The army dropped me.

The police recruited me.

- Was it dynamite? - Come.

I'm not authorized.

Consultant.

- Any casualties? - No.

Yes. That's dynamite.

In a package.

When you blow up a mailbox, you don't want to hurt,

you want to scare.

That's what I think.

There were papers inside.

It was remotely controlled.

Funny coincidence.

What's that?

Well, the bomb.

Admit it was you.

- The bomb? - Yes.

Are you insane?

You don't have to tell me.

I'm sorry, but I'd never do that.

What's this?

Pictures of his girlfriends.

Girlfriends or sex partners?

Girls he had dinner and shared a bottle of wine with.

Chloé Vincent will become Chloé Bélisle.

She needs a passport with stamps and all.

Social Security number,

driver's license. Make it rock-solid.

What's she gonna do?

Have dinner with him.

Share a bottle of wine.

- Can we trust her? - In total confidence.

Banks get rich by forcing people into debt.

Finance is driven by ridiculously low interest rates.

You're gonna put gas in your car. What do you do?

You take out your card.

Lunch? You use your card.

You eat, you buy clothes with your card.

Car loans, mortgages,

planes, hotels, boats, agricultural machinery:

a river of interest that flows directly

into the pockets of bankers.

Hence the invention of central banks.

A guy walks into a room. There's a table.

There are 20 cookies on the table, a homeless man and a banker.

The banker takes 19 cookies.

Only one left.

The banker goes, "He'll steal it!"

So the whole system's crap.

Well, that's quite simplistic. What would you replace it with?

In the past, the natives used to exchange stones underwater.

Take this, give me a stone. We could go back to that.

So tomorrow night,

we'll depart from McGill Square

and walk to Hydro-Quebec.

May my people follow me.

Thanks, everybody.

Bye!

What do you want?

I need a budget for Chloé.

Why're you asking me?

- You're in charge of operations. - Not the money.

Bob, I'll buy you a beer.

Come on!

Fuck you.

I'm your boss.

Come on, let's go.

I don't understand.

You and I want the same thing.

Blue Moon runs through our veins.

Right. All you want is the money.

That's not true!

If it were, I would've sold my stock to Justine.

They're all gone.

Sauvageau's dead,

Lagarde's missing, Benoît killed himself.

No one can bother you now.

I've never had reasons to be bothered. Have you?

I'm not a millionaire, you know.

I have probably less money than you do.

I own 40 % of Blue Moon.

If this keeps up, I'll have 40% of nothing.

- You make me cry. - Dammit, Bob!

I was close to Benoît.

So what? You were close to Yves.

And yet we would work together.

Look me in the eye.

Tell me you didn't kill Laurier.

I should beat you up for saying that.

Go for it.

- You know what pisses you off? - What?

You have no influence over Justine.

- Must be that. - Look at yourself.

You drool when she's around.

You jerk off thinking about her.

Don't you? Yeah, I know you do.

I'll be watching you, Milan. Make no mistake.

You'll spill the truth, whether you like it or not.

Have fun, man.

What're you doing here?

I can't sleep.

Can I make you a tea?

Are you OK?

No.

OK, then, come on in.

I've something to tell you, but...

it's not a good idea.

Come on, get in.

Sounds difficult.

It's not difficult, it's personal.

- It's Milan? - No, Milan is Milan.

We'll never change him.

If anything, we may keep him under control.

What is it, then?

It's you, Justine.

Me?

For some time now...

I've been there, available...

- You're talking about us? - Yes.

- I don't know what to say. - It's not that hard.

Do you have feelings for me? We'll deal with the rest.

I can't give you what you want.

My relationships are always fucked up.

As soon as I have to commit, I just run away.

I mean...

Is it my father, my mother? I don't know, but...

I can't deal with a relationship.

It's tough.

I definitely have feelings for you, Bob.

But my relationship with you is too important to ruin it.

- Hey, babe! - Hi.

Where were you, you little punk?

At your mother's.

Why didn't you stay over?

She snores.

- Not as much as you. - I don't snore.

Sure you don't.

Homework?

Yes. Neoliberalism is truly fascinating.

I've a demonstration tomorrow night.

Oh, yeah? Against what?

Tax evasion by large companies.

You'll certainly scare them.

Come to me.

With a complex set of subsidiaries,

many companies don't pay taxes.

Will this demonstration change things?

Better be quiet, then?

No, Thylan, but citizens can only do so much.

Citizens can exert pressure.

People around the world are taking to the streets.

It's outrageous that those who make billions in profits

don't pay a single tax. You think that's right?

- No. - But you keep mum.

We talk to you. That's a start.

I'm not relevant. They know that I know.

We need to put pressure on the decision-makers.

That's your job. Remember, you're the forth estate. Thank you.

- Sure they're gonna come this way? - Yes.

I saw their itinerary.

I have to tell you...

I had a tough conversation with Bob.

About what?

He thinks I killed your father.

- He said that? - Yes.

Talk to him, Justine.

I'm willing to make an effort, but if he can't...

he'll have to find another job.

Talk to them.

No confrontation with the police.

That's what they want.

Let them film, but no damage.

Alright? Will you tell them?

Chloé shouldn't be here.

She's a soldier, not a double agent.

You don't trust her.

That's not the point. She doesn't have backup.

She's demonstrating.

You don't need backup to hold a placard.

You don't mind her doing this?

See... That's the difference between you and me.

I don't mind.

Here they are.

I'm not sure about the torches.

They could start a fire.

We should get out of here.

Have you seen Chloé?

- Get out! Get out! - What the fuck?

Justine! Don't stay there!

Goddammit!

Post this on the web. We'll know who she is.

This is where the leading members meet.

We can intercept all their communications.

This isn't Blue Moon against Manceau.

This is Blue Moon against a generation

that fights authority.
