Come on!
See those lights?
We'll be there in three days, at the most.
Then we ust need to find the house.
Chloe...
You know what?
We'll ask them for a pool too.
Hold on, l didn't see!
They can dig the lawn up. They owe us that much.
l'll hold you in my arms and teach you to swim, you'll see.
No, Chloe!
Don't move.
l won't touch you.
l'm not going to touch you.
lt's okay!
You, come with me.
Move it.
Sit down.
l said not to touch her.
Both abandoned at birth,
on the streets of Marseilles...
ls that where you were going?
You were parted at six months.
Your sister was sent to a home and you to a foster family.
At five, you asked for her.
From six, you started running away to go to her.
You moved from home to home until a place took you both.
Then everything was calm for two years or so.
Excuse me.
Then, four months ago, you vanished.
l don't get it. You were with your sister.
So why leave?
l'm here, Chloe.
Don't worry. They won't part us.
They're putting us in a home nearby until the udge sees us.
We'll take off again right away.
What are you doing, Sarah? Come here!
Stay with me, Chloe.
Catherine, l've brought you the children.
- Have they eaten? - Yes, ust before leaving.
Sit down.
You can wash and rest now.
Damel will show you your rooms.
Chloe has a room to herself.
Tomorrow, you'll see Dr Doran, the child psychiatrist.
He'll decide on her schedule.
You can go to school.
You need to think about the ob
you'd like to do.
What do you like?
Trees.
Very good. l'll put you down for woodwork.
The magistrate who sent you here
is giving you both another chance.
One final chance, l mean.
Are you aware of that?
Joseph?
Who'll take care of her?
Just a second. Sylvie!
lt's only for the night.
- The girl l mentioned. Chloe. - Okay.
Her brother.
Don't touch her. Ever!
And always tell her what to do or she won't do it!
ln the room, tell her everything's hers!
lt's okay, l know.
Get to the shower, girls! Come on, Chloe.
Go with her.
Come on.
Turn it down!
Two weeks to fix this door.
Your bed and your cupboard.
Put your gear in it. Make sure you lock it.
Join us at the showers. lt's that way. Hurry.
Come on, quick. Get to bed.
Fuck, my cash's been stolen!
l left you alone.
So? There's no fucking door!
- Me too! - Was it you, Ali?
No fucking way!
My chain, asshole!
Okay, cut it out!
That's enough! Franck!
- What's up? - More theft.
l'll get you, Ali!
Out, all four of you.
People keep talking about you and your sister.
l run off too. l bust into houses.
So?
So? l'm getting out of here too.
l can have your bed, then.
l want the bottom bunk because of my sister.
C'mon. Two smokes.
You've got smokes?
Not now. l will have tomorrow.
You'd better.
No, Chloe...
Not now...
Go to sleep.
We'll leave tomorrow.
Hello, Joseph... Chloe...
Sit down if you like.
Stop it!
She's not mad.
l know.
l've checked your file. She's made good progress with you.
Congratulations.
l mean it. Well done.
Always looking for your parents?
They threw us out like pieces of shit!
You have a pretty good imagination.
You must have a thousand reasons why.
The hard part was finding them.
You didn't know.
One day, while gathering her things up,
Chloe drew a house.
The house.
You have no right!
True, l have no right.
Your dreams are yours.
You think she wants to find it too.
That she'll be cured there.
That's what you want, right?
Parents, a home and a sister who won't scream if you touch her.
They're your dreams, Joseph, not hers.
So you say.
No, Joseph.
l'd like you to leave us now.
No. Why? l want to stay!
Visit the grounds.
See, she wants me.
Not you.
The pencil-sharpener.
Know why? lt's hard so she can trust it.
She hates soft things, they scare her.
l knew it!
Okay.
Come with us.
You can be goal instead of Ali.
Okay, Sabrina?
Are you crazy?
She's fucking pretending!
Okay, get the hell out of here!
Joseph...
We were expecting you.
The school's next door. Take her there if you want.
lt has to stay here.
This is its place.
lt'll be here next time you come.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
Another one who thinks you're stupid.
That you're a hopeless case.
Know where the classrooms are?
Hurry up, then!
We'll run away anyhow.
Wait, don't move!
Want me to stay?
lt's okay, thanks.
lf you take her, l'll kill myself!
You'll kill yourself?
Then what?
She needs me.
She'll do nothing without me.
She won't even eat!
She could have died.
Come on...
What are you afraid of?
l don't believe it! l said no music.
Hello, FranCois.
This is Joseph.
Gently, Joseph.
He could tell you were nervous.
That's why Chloe makes mosaics showing a house.
She knows it calms you down so it reassures her.
Not true!
She's so afraid.
What of?
Everything.
You, me, her own body.
Life scares her.
And since life's all around...
When she smiles, it's not really her you're seeing.
lt's ust a decoy, a faCade, so we'll leave her alone.
She shows her real face only when you touch her.
When she screams in terror.
Otherwise, she simply hides behind her body.
The day she accepts the world, when she talks and laughs,
that will be like a real birth.
She'll start living.
Wouldn't that be something?
Joseph...
There was no pool, Chloe. There never was one.
He's right! You made it because l said so.
What are we going to do now?
What are you waiting for?
l'll get that bitch! See what she did?
Look out!
Try it and you're dead!
But we'll all shag you first. We'll make an effort.
Fucker! l'll tell them! You're heading back to the asylum!
Goddam slut! l fucked up my shoes 'cause of her.
She won't talk. She knows she's had it if l go back.
She knows l'm serious.
Tell me... Do l look mad?
Once, back home, l was watching this marine life documentary.
My dad comes and sits down next to me.
He points to this whale
and he says,
''Look, that's a grouper.''
So l told him,
''No, dad, Cousteau said it was a whale.''
''Shut up. l say it's a grouper!''
''Okay, you're right.
''Cousteau's full of shit.
''lt's a grouper.''
He always rode a bike to work.
One day, l pinched a scooter and followed him.
l waited till it was quiet.
l sped past and kicked at his wheel.
He fell
but the bastard didn't die.
And l got fucking caught.
l need guys for my business.
l've had this idea. Dead easy.
- No thanks. - Why?
What've you got to lose? Your sister's fine here.
l won't leave her. She's all l have.
Tough...
You can talk.
Watch it... l'm mad, remember.
We'll stay here a while. Until you get better.
Maybe you only made the pool for me.
Never mind.
We'll look everywhere.
We'll find them one day.
Wait, Joseph. l'd like a word.
l have some good news.
What is it?
Your mother was here.
She'd like to meet you and talk to you.
She wishes she'd done it sooner.
So why didn't she?
Unfortunately, she couldn't.
lt's up to her to tell you.
And our father?
Your father's dead.
l'm sorry.
Why didn't she come to see us?
She'll come back soon.
Hear that, Chloe?
She's been looking for us too.
She'll take you home.
But Chloe's staying here for now.
We have to finish our work.
She doesn't need you now. We're going home.
lt's what she's always wanted!
l have some more good news. Watch.
You've done that before.
Push her away!
You see?
You see, Joseph?
She's opening up here.
To the world.
She's doing well.
You can visit when you want.
Your mother's promised to have her some weekends.
l hope she can take us right away.
l bet these bastards have hassled her.
lt's okay, l'll tell her how important it is for you.
After what she did, she can't refuse.
We're almost there.
lt's all over.
Cut it out!
Cut the crap! Don't do that now. That's her.
You're going to take us home.
Listen to your mother.
This is important.
Don't listen to them.
They're telling you lies.
She'll be fine once we get home.
lt's not possible.
Yes, it is! Believe me.
Listen to her, Joseph.
l don't know how to say it.
You seem so...
You know...
When l left you in the street...
that day... l didn't know what l was doing.
lt's true.
But l remember you well.
You were so tiny in my arms.
l walked for a long time.
l don't know why l stopped...
Yes, l do. l heard screams and cries.
Then l saw her.
She was lying there, so l left you next to her.
- So you wouldn't be alone. - Liar! You're not my mother!
l swear it's true.
You ust don't want her. You make me sick!
- Let her finish! - Leave me, please.
You'll pay for this!
Careful!
Go!
Don't do this!
Rue des Lucioles... Stop it!
Stop it, l said.
lt's not too far now.
Cut it out, Chloe!
You don't know where to go.
l do.
We were born here.
Look!
All right.
Do what you want.
There's your house.
Look...
lt's beautiful.
Just like in your drawings.
Come on.
- What the hell? - Wait!
Don't go. You can stay! Both of you!
This'll take us back.
We won't leave the city this way.
Run!
What're you doing here?
You threw stones at us, fucker!
lt was my pals. Just killing time.
l got away ust after you.
Thanks to the panic you caused.
You can tell me now... Who was that woman?
No one.
Stay around here if you want.
l've got myself a cellar.
l'll get you a mattress.
l'll tell you about my plans.
What plans?
Easy. We make a load of cash and then do what we want.
We fuck them all!
Aren't your pals interested?
They're different.
You saw them. They're dumb.
But they're in too.
Strength in numbers, see.
Don't do it, Chloe.
l know what it means to you.
But they'll split us up.
l swear!
What about me?
What happens to me?
What's up?
There's money in here.
Fifty-fifty, okay.
Five minutes. l'll check upstairs.
Go on, Chloe. Look, you're home.
Fucking cut it out. You don't need that!
You're here now.
Look!
Something has to make you react.
What are we here for?
Why did you bring me here?
Look!
And this?
That's why we came?
To trash the place. To show these fuckers?
Don't worry, Chloe.
Stay the way you are.
We'll go far away from here.
You'll still be my sister!
What the fuck's going on?
Come on, let's get going!
Move!
Look...
See how beautiful it is?
We'll go one day.
l promise.
l'll ust get some ciggies.
Where are you going?
Calm down. We're almost there.
Look.
lt works. lt's not blocked.
No holes. Nothing.
Same with the water.
lt works.
You can watch TV.
lt works and it's free at your age.
Eat, Chlo?
Eat.
l can't come right now.
l can't.
l can't come right now.
You'll have to manage alone.
All alone.
You have to eat!
Eat!
You have to eat!
l'll come for you soon. l promise.
l promise l'll come for you soon.
Very soon.
So you have to eat!
Eat!
Go on, eat!
You can't leave me. You can't.
You can't...
Get up. You've got a visit.
A favour from the magistrate.
Come on, hurry up.
You'll go back to your cell later.
Come on, move.
Calm down!
Cut it out.
Shit!
Okay!
Okay?
Okay, Joseph?
l made a bundle on that house ob.
lt got my proects launched. Look.
We're in all the papers.
And on TVtoo. We're fucking stars!
l know where she is.
ln my old psychiatric unit. A pal told me.
Which way?
Open the door! Make it snappy!
Here.
l have to touch you.
l'm sorry.
Just a second.
Go on.
You have to eat.
Eat!
We have to move.
We need a hide till you get better.
We'll have our own house one day,
with trees in the garden and a river.
Everything you want.
l promise.
Come on.
See the old guy with the bag over there?
Go on. lt won't take long.
Go on.
Get the box out.
We'll try a new tunnel tomorrow.
You hear the music?
No, you listen with your ears. There.
Your ears.
Come on, Chlo?
Who d'you want?
No one! We're ust passing by!
That's okay. We can talk.
Who's your girlfriend?
She's my sister, not my girlfriend!
lf you want to dance, fucking dance!
Tell your sister to strip! l'll give you some hash.
Strip!
Stop that.
Don't be afraid. Swim.
There...
Stop it.
Stop it!
Don't touch me like that again.
You don't realize how it makes me feel.
l swear, l can't stand it anymore.
l'll sleep next door.
l won't be far away.
You needn't worry.
l'll always be at your side.
Can you hear me?
l'm here.
See, it's no different.
You can come here if you want.
Gently.
lt's ust a kid. Call HQ.
Why are you out this late?
What's your name?
You've forgotten it?
Where d'you live?
l have to get my sister.
Okay, we'll go together.
You live at her place?
What's her name?
Put your hands on the car...
Freeze!
l'm here, Chlo?
lt's over now.
l'm sorry. l'm useless.
lt'll be okay.
Don't worry now.
We'll leave the city.
What have you done?
Get in, Chlo?
Get in!
What's wrong?
We had an accident.
Can we use the phone, please?
Yes, of course.
Come in.
lt's on the left.
No, not that way.
Chlo? come here.
l don't want to hurt her.
But come any closer
and l'll slit her throat.
This is a nice house.
Have you lived here long?
Quite a while, yes.
We ust need to rest a bit.
Gently...
So?
What's it like upstairs?
You like it?
Come on.
You have to...
You have to sit down.
Then push with your legs.
You understand?
Go on...
