I told you to knock!
Don't you have anything better to do than hanging out here?
And I told you not to smoke in here.
Your stepmom's gonna be here any minute.
Did you pay the fee for my soccer club?
No, I just came home from work.
You're getting on my nerves!
Stop bothering me! You know what our situation's like.
Just try.
But there's the championship with Steve.
l'm not rich like his parents are!
We all have to make a few sacrifices!
We talked about that several times!
You can't always give him what he wants.
I haven't bought him anything for weeks now
And besides, it's soccer, that's good for him.
l just got my bonus.
It's gonna cost us 200 Euros at least.
We can barely make ends meet as it is.
You just bought a new cradle, didn't you?
We could have borrowed the one your mom has .
But we agreed on that.
Don't get started again.
I want the baby to have everything it needs.
We know what your son's worth ...
Besides hanging around ...
You can't even take him to your construction site
and now you want to give him a reward.
It's not easy on him either.
Whatever ...
As soon as he's at that boarding school, our problems will be solved.
The further he's away from the baby,
the better.
CROSSWAY
Jonathan?
That's a pretty unusual time for you to show up.
Actually, I didn't want to come by.
Is there something you wanna tell me?
l was thinking about that movie about Jesus' death.
Yes?
Did it really happen like that?
That's hard to say.
l think the director is a good Christian.
But his interpretation of the bible is ... rather special.
But what he had to go through, that was horrible!
Sometimes people need to suffer so that something good can happen.
Does one have to suffer in order to be a good Christian?
Not necessarily.
A lot of young men your age have given up on their faith.
You kept yours.
I sometimes wonder if I could've saved her.
Stop feeling guilty.
If the Lord wanted her by His side,
then there was no other way.
Remember the love she gave you,
not the pain of having lost her.
It's a challenge that'll make you stronger than the others.
I think my dad doesn't love me.
I remind him too much of my mom.
That's hard on him.
He's a guy.
Maybe he uses rage to hide his sadness because he's such a proud guy.
I've known you for so long now,
you're stronger than the others.
If you keep your faith,
He'll save you.
Thank you, Father.
And there's nothing else that's bothering you?
Steve!
There's someone here to see you.
What's that? Makeup?
That's something new ...
Did you find it in my box or did you buy it yourself?
Leave me alone!
l'm serious, Steve!
- I don't want him around here anymore! - I'm sixteen years old!
- I get to choose my friends myself. - What is he to you?
There's nothing he could teach you.
Seeing him during practice isn't enough?
You don't know him at all.
How about Charlotte?
Why don't we get to see her anymore?
That's none of your business, leave me alone.
Be home by eight!
- Are you ok? - Yeah, how about you?
You can't come here anymore.
My mom doesn't want us to hang out.
Sorry, the battery on my cell phone died on me so I couldn't call.
You have to come up with some excuse the next time
or we won't be able to meet out of school anymore.
Look!
Where did you steal that?
Out of my dad's pocket.
He's gonna kill you.
I don't care.
He doesn't care about me anyways.
All he thinks of is his broad and the baby.
What are you gonna do with the money?
We could goo to Paris and have a little fun.
Ok, but I'll have to be home by eight
or my mom's gonna kill me.
Can we go now?
- I'll got where ever you go. - So let's go.
- Hello. - How old are you?
- Nineteen. - Eighteen.
Can I see your IDs?
The thing is, I came here all the way from Marseilles
but left my ID at home.
I forgot mine too.
- Are you trying to kid me? - No, not at all.
I may look like I was young,
but look at him ... I'm not kidding you.
It's either your IDs or you're gone.
Come on, let us in there. See?
We've got some money. We can pay for it.
l don't want any problems.
Get lost!
We've gotta get us some dope.
My cousin told me about a place that's nearby.
l heard you can get the stuff there.
No, no there. Whatever.
Ok.
Wait, I've gotta ...
I'll call you back but I've gotta go now.
Are you Shooter?
Who are you? What do you want from him?
I'm Steve, Marco's cousin.
He told me I could get some dope here.
I don't know no Marco.
A big Italian guy from St Denis.
And who's that?
A friend of mine, no worries.
This is no playground, Buddy.
Hey, you're a really tough guy!
Antoine.
- What? - I'm hungry.
Dammit, I told you no to call me that in front of other people!
Asshole!
What do you want?
Some weed.
How much have you got?
Dunno. Jonathan, the money?
Sixty.
One more.
Ok, fine.
There you are.
Is that all?
What? Go and start dealing at your high-school if you're not happy.
Give us more. That's not enough for eighty.
Selling the stuff to you is pretty risky for me.
Get lost! You should've shown up here alone! Now get lost! Come on!
Hey, wait a sec, guys! Come back!
You see that chick?
Hm?
You can have her for 20 minute if you give me the rest.
Have fun.
- What's your name? - Aur�lie.
Take off your bra.
You can touch her too.
- Are you embarrassed? - No, that's not it.
Come on. Make the best out of it.
Take off your panties.
I don't want your money. Hey, are you joking?
Get lost! Asshole!
- What was that? - No idea.
Get out! Stop it! Out!
Get lost! Come on!
What are you doing here? Get lost, dammit!
Wake up, you've gotta help me.
Nice place, real quiet.
Aren't you gonna stay here with me tonight?
Are you crazy? My mom would freak out if I didn't come home.
But I don't know where to go. I can't go home.
Why don't you stay here? No one's gonna bug you here.
But didn't you see what just happened?
I'm gonna freak out if I have to stay here all alone.
Once you've smoked this stuff, nothing's gonna frighten you anymore.
Ok, give it to me.
You'll see. He wasn't kidding us.
We should shut the door, right?
Don't be such a wussy.
Everybody's high here. They're living in peace, bro.
Fuck, I've gotta go. It's really late.
Anyways, you're safe here. I like this place.
Yeah, ok.
Calm down!
I told you to calm down!
l'll take the gag out if you promised not to shout, ok?
Ok?
So?
Did you run away from home?
What's your name?
Jonathan.
All that so that you don't ... Why didn't you tell me right away?
How old are you?
Fifteen and a half.
Who besides your buddy knows you're here?
No one.
Yep.
No, there's a problem here.
No, the hooker's gone.
Don't let me down! Get your ass over here.
But ... fuck!
Are you leaving?
Let me go. I won't tell ... I ...
I have no other choice.
Come back!
Come back, you little dipshit!
Come back, Com back! I won't harm you!
There's no way outta here.
Where are you?
Ok?
You wanna fight?
- Hey? - Stop it!
I'll bash you skull in!
But ...
Stop it!
Hey?
That's for just now!
Wake up! What's wrong?
Are you stopping now?
l can see you thought of everything.
Hungry?
l'm gonna share but you have to cooperate.
l can see you're honest.
Wonder if your trousers will me fit? I've gotta change.
Don't bite my fingers off!
What's the time?
Half past twelve.
Can't you untie me? I won't run away.
You've gotta give me your things anyways.
Stand up.
Go over to the bed.
Move over. I need to lie down.
How did you get hurt?
A knife. I got away from five guys.
And what happened before that?
- What? - The fight.
None of your business.
You won't be able to keep me here for long.
Someone's bound to find me.
- With all those squatters around ... - Tomorrow it'll all be over.
What's gonna happen tomorrow?
I've got this big thing tomorrow. Then it's all or nothing ...
Why are you holding me here if it's tomorrow?
You know too much. You could go to the cops.
l could take you hostage,
in case they find me here ...
What's this big thing?
A very risky business.
If you can pull it off, then I'm set for life.
Drugs?
Dunno.
No need for you to know.
- Why did you run away? - None of your business.
Tell me. I also told you.
Yeah, but I'm your prisoner. So it's none of your business.
Come on, just to kill some time.
I'll tell you if you free my hands.
I'm gonna clean it so that it won't get inflamed.
Don't move, stay where you are!
He got one step closer and bang! I shot him in the arm.
Thanks to me, that son of a bitch won't be able to jerk off anymore.
- He's got another hand! - True.
Can you show me your gun?
Can I hold it?
You're dead.
- It's not loaded. - Are you sure?
- Do you really wanna risk your life? - You wouldn't shoot.
Can I help you?
With what?
Tomorrow. With you thing.
Too risky. I don't wanna drag you into it.
But you said I might be useful.
As a hostage. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to you.
Leave it be.
And what if we were partners?
We could be the best gangsters in the whole wide world!
This is no game.
Come here.
Come on.
I want to see your scars.
Come on.
Down there too.
Here.
What are you doing here?
Let me in and I'll explain it to you.
Ok, but come through the backdoor.
Tell me!
After you left ...
I fell asleep ...
l was completely stoned.
I felt someone touching me.
It was Shooter. He tied me up.
What did he do to you?
Nothing. I was able to run away.
But there's blood all over your clothes!
He was hurt. We fought.
l shouldn't have left you alone there.
Maybe what happened last night was no coincidence.
What do you mean by that?
Get up, my mom's coming. Come on get a move on!
Hurry up! Just hide someplace!
What are you doing?
Don't worry, I won't stay long.
What the hell!
It wasn't his fault, it was mine.
I got attacked in a house full of squatters.
Don't tell his parents. I took him there.
Marco told me about this place where you can smoke weed.
- Your cousin Marco? - Yeah, him.
- Where is this place? - Near Barbes.
- Were there a lot of people? - No, just one guy.
Well.
You're fine, aren't you?
I'm sorry but ...
Your parents will deal with this.
- I'm gonna give them a call. - You don't have their number!
You're making it too easy for yourself.
Ok, he lost his mother but that's not an excuse for everything!
Your son has become totally autistic.
He needs an authority figure and that's you, dammit!
You're not doing anything! I don't get it. Look at him!
- You don't understand. - I don't understand, so what?
Come with me.
Let's go to the living room. We have to talk.
We can't wait. We have to talk about it now.
You know what's going to happen, we warned you often enough.
This time you went too far.
And taking the money ...
Don't we have problems enough?
That's so selfish.
What got into you?
It's not like you to do something like that!
l don't want a thief in my house. What's gonna happen next?
You should be glad you're not my son! If you were, I'd handle things differently!
If you're going to send me to a boarding school,
then I want to go to St. Joseph.
How much is it gonna cost us?
Do you think the priest would want a criminal like you are?
If that's what he wants ...
Are you sure?
Yes, I am.
I'll go to Father Bouvet tomorrow.
He'l write a letter of recomondation for me.
- That's outrageous! - Come on, Nathalie ...
Your remarks are getting on my nerves.
How are we going to make ends meet with the baby?
We'll see.
We'll see? The baby's due in two months!
So we've got two months time to figure it out.
Jonathan?
- Hello, Father. - Come in, don't keep standing there.
As to my suport, you can count on me.
I just hope you've given it some serious thought. They're very strict there.
That's fine by me.
And your little mis... What were you thinking?
You were really lucky!
It wasn't luck.
I think it was a sign.
When I was a prisoner ...
I prayed to God and I think he answered my prayers.
He has managed so that Antoine turned for the better.
I hope that I'll be able to forgive him.
In order for you to forgive someone, that person has to ask for it.
I would like my father to forgive me too.
I'm sure he will.
But don't blame yourself too much.
You just have to learn how to control yourself.
It's crazy but ...
When I think of Antoine, then I less afraid.
Your faith will be severely tested at St. Joseph's.
A lot of priests are very lonely.
You can still change your mind.
I will try to prove myself worthy of you
and of God.
Once you're there,
you can always call me.
May I have a consecrated wafer please?
l miss her too.
And what about me?
Are you going to miss me too?
Sure!
You're my son!
l don't know.
l was such an asshole.
Stop it.
I told you a thousand times that's the past.
Really?
Sure.
