"So, this is it?" "You're leaving us?" " Ms. Hamidi, you're free to go." " Thanks." "THE STRAIGHT LINE" "It's dumb, I feel like I know you." " Louise told me so much about you." " She did?" "I hope she kept some things back." "This is your kingdom." "It's all yours, you're the boss." "Everything's priced up." "Take no money, they pay inside." "How much do you want?" "I don't know. 150." "200, if possible." "If you want, I'll work overtime to pay you back faster." "Start by being on time." "You only have to go downstairs." "We open at 8:30." "You'll like it here." "It's very quiet." "Hi there." "Does Jean-Pierre still work here?" "Jean-Pierre?" "He quit a long time ago." "I've no idea where he is now." "Sorry." "No problem." "There you go." "Do you want a drink?" "A glass of water, please." "If you want out, fine." "We'll call it off." "Just tell me." "Think what you want." "That I'm a coward, a chicken..." "I'm not doing it." "You're sure?" "We forget it, we cancel?" "I'll go tell them." "Leave me out of it now." "I'm through." "Is someone there?" "Do you need something?" "I'd like a Coke." " I'll get the barman." " It's okay, I'm here." "It's you I bumped into?" "Yes." "Take a seat." "I overheard your conversation." "Jacques doesn't get it." "Who's Jacques?" "The guy I was with." "He was my coach for years." "I sense everything." "Their pity, their awkwardness." "The precautions they take." "Making me even more disabled." "I could never stand this tether you run with." "It's not reassuring, it's scary." "Like being a prisoner." "Can you describe yourself?" "You're the first person I've met since my accident." "Describing yourself's hard." "I need to picture you." "Do you mind?" "My name's Leila." "I'm Algerian." "French of Algerian origin." "You're Algerian?" "I wouldn't have guessed." "I have dark hair." "I'm a bit shorter than you." "You could be a redhead and tiny!" "You came to train?" "No, not today." "I'm boring you with my questions." "I just got back from Algeria." "I lived there a few years." "I've always played sports, track and field mostly." "Like you." "I'm a runner." "The quarter-mile." "400 meters." "I mean..." "I was a runner." "I'll be going." "What was your time for 1 00 meters?" "Under 12 seconds." "11 .4, 11 .5..." "Do you have any spare time?" "We could try out." "Will you pay me?" "Guides are always volunteers." "Of course." "Sorry, I don't have the time for that." "Leila?" "I want to try with you." "If it works out, I can pay you." "I think we're wasting our time." "It's tough, you've never done it..." "Women rarely guide men." "I mean, in this context." "If it was up to me..." "His eyes were an accident?" "A car crash." "Six months ago." "Driver unhurt." "Yannick went through the windshield." "There's no operation?" "No, it's screwed." "He'll never get his sight back." "Not today." "That can wait." "There's nothing ahead, it's all clear." "No obstacles." "If there are, that's my job." "Trust me." "Stick close to me, level with me." "We have to keep the contact." "You have to feel I'm there." "Feel my shoulders or my arms." "Faster?" " Shit." " It's okay." " Sorry." " It's okay." "Let's go again." "How about we do a lap?" "Go!" "Go, Damien!" "Yannick?" "I just felt dizzy." "It's okay, I'm alright." "Leila..." "Tell me like it is." "Is it legal, taking cash for volunteer work?" "You're a social worker, not a cop." "I'm no danger to society, no one gets hurt." "In fact, I help a young blind athlete." "Look at it that way." "Do they have a name?" "Kervallec, I think." "I'm not sure." "I met them by chance." "You told the truth about where you'd been?" "It's always better to tell the truth." "Spare me your platitudes." "Not platitudes, the fruit of many years' experience." "And your brother-in-law?" "Have you been in touch?" "Hello." "Can you help me?" "What's your name?" "My name's Souley." "I think I've lost my way." "I want Ave. de la République." "That way." "At the second light, turn right." "Souley!" "Ready?" "In your own time." "Follow my voice, Yannick." "Back left." "Back left, try to stay straight." "No, you're changing lanes." "Right a bit, a bit more." "Back into your lane." "A bit more to your right." "Toward me now, let's go." "You okay?" "I want her out of here." "My mother." "She's here." "That you, Marie-Claude?" "I heard you, I recognized your voice." "Yes, it's me." "Having fun?" "I'd rather you didn't stay." "This isn't a circus or a zoo." "You're still there?" "You want to stay?" "In that case, take my place." "You get the drill?" "You wait to be called, like a dog." "Then you run to your master, eyes closed and barking." "Go on, start over." "I'm leaving." "That was unfair." "Take it out on me, not her." "Nobody trains like this anymore, running to a voice." "Is this drill really necessary?" "Nothing is necessary." "You don't have to come." "And I don't have to coach you." "I'll meet you in my office, I won't be long." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "The Warsaw bus was an hour early." "The driver didn't respect rest times." "Drives me mad when they do that." "Sit down." "Thanks." "There's too much." "Just to be sure you won't walk out on him." "For you." "I can't accept." "It's my pleasure." "I want it to work out with you." "I think that if he wants to run, he'll want to live." "It's one of those events that... blow everything apart." "Yannick had to quit college." "He left his girlfriend, ignores his friends." "He moved back home." "The doctors prescribed rehab but he won't do it." "He resists." "You're the first person with whom he's clicked." "You've no idea." "For me... you're a real little miracle." "Yannick's everything to me." "And his father?" "His father wasn't free." "He already had a family." "When I got pregnant, he told me it was him or the child." "Go for it!" "This way." "You're tensing up." "Relax!" "What's she making him do?" "Reaction and concentration drills." "Now really go for it." "No prompts." "Try to sense where I am." "Okay, enough." "Let's call it a day." " You okay?" " Yes." "Not too tough?" "I wasn't scared once." "It's a real buzz..." "I haven't felt that since the accident." " Pile 'em up." " It's a mess." "We won't need them for months." "Vincent, is that you?" "Yes." "Who is this?" "It's me, Leila." "Can you hear me?" "I can hear you." "Are you calling from prison?" "I'm out." "They gave you leave?" "No." "I'm free." "I got parole." "Where are you?" "Paris." "Did you follow Souley recently to ask for directions?" "You took a photo of him." "You scared him." "Don't ever do that again." "Did he suspect who I was?" "No." "We have to meet." "I want..." "I'll come as soon as I can." "No, I'll come to you." "Stay put." "I'll call you to say when I'll be there." " You're all alone?" " Yes." "I don't need anyone." "Only you." " I'll go change." " Wait!" "Why are you late?" "I'll explain later." "I want to know now." "I have a right to know." "I pay you to be on time." "You're on edge." "You smell of alcohol and sweat." "You were partying, right?" " I don't have to report to you." " True." "If you fulfill your commitments." "Without you, I can't do a thing." "I'm dependent." "You understand "dependent"?" "You have no respect for me." "No consideration." "I treat you as I would anyone else." "I thought that's what you wanted." "Not pity or consideration." "So I'll be honest." "I can't do this today." "No way!" "I prepared for it." "Mentally." "Today, we try the tether." "I'm ready." "I won't put it off." "You were paid up front, right?" "Start out with your right foot." "Ready?" "Hold on!" "Wait for my signal." "Let's go again." "Ready?" "Stay in line." "You change lanes." " Am I in line now?" " You're in line." "Ready?" "Are you okay?" "Let go!" "Get off me!" "Forget it, it won't work." " Let go of me!" " Stop it!" " Calm down!" " Go home!" "Go party!" "Have fun with the guys!" " You're wasting your time here!" " Stop!" "Get off me!" "We'll keep going." "We'll get it right." "It's hard, I know." "We said we'd do it, so let's do it." "It's not just you, I'm in this too." " I'm through." " I'm not quitting!" "Let's go again!" "Good, stay close." "Contact." "Into the curve." "Closer." "Contact!" "Closer to me." "Contact!" "That's right." "Still in the curve." "Coming out of the curve." "A bit more..." "Now we're into the straight." "Hey, how are you?" "Who was that?" "I don't know, I don't know him." "Keep the pace up." "You didn't say, what's she like?" "Pretty?" "Yeah, she's pretty when she's running." "And when she's not running?" "She's not bad then either." "I'm going to find a real job." "I'll help financially." "I'm not asking for anything." "I don't want your help or your money." "We got by for 5 years." "You're not part of our lives." "I am." "Because Souley is my son." "I'm his mother." "You can't deny it." "You consented to the adoption." "I've raised Souley as my own." "He's my son now." " What does he know?" " He wasn't even 2." " A tiny kid." " What did you tell him?" "Nothing." "He knows nothing." "I'll fight for him." "I'll get a lawyer." "Sure, you do that." "You're gonna wreck his life." "Haven't you done enough harm?" "I'm warning you." "Don't do anything stupid." "I won't hesitate to send you back to jail." "I doubt Souley remembers you." "He never mentions you." "I think he's forgotten you." "I hope so, for his sake." "Shit, you could've told me." "I own the place." " Louise owns it." " Same thing." "It's not the same." "Don't go." "She's a friend who crashes here sometimes." "Forget it." "I'm not bullshitting you." "Don't go!" "You tell her, Leila!" "I'm sorry." "I'll go." "I'll be back in an hour." "I'll wait." "No, in an hour, you won't be here." "Get the hell out." "I know girls I can help who aren't bitter like you." "Trouble is, with your past, you'll be bitter all your life." "What's up?" "I need a favor." "You'll be better off here than on the bar tables." "Whatever happens, be out of here by 9 a.m." "Without anyone seeing you." "Are we agreed?" "You're not moving in." "One night only." "Thanks, Rémy." "It's me, Rémy..." "What's wrong?" "I'm sorry." "He kept insisting." "I looked all over for you." "I have big news." "Couldn't it wait till this afternoon?" "What are you doing here?" "How long have you crashed here?" "It doesn't matter." "I have a place lined up." "You never talk about yourself." "I often feel you're distant, and not with me." "I'm with you 1 00% when we're training." "What's the news?" "You're my eyes." "Are you aware of that?" "You're my eyes." "I need to trust you." "Talk to me." "Do you have a family?" "A boyfriend?" "Any children?" "What are you hiding?" "What happened in Algeria?" "None of your business!" "I'm not accountable to you." "I've had enough." "Find another guide." "Don't do this." "Stay!" "I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me." "Leila, stop." "Please." " Let go of me!" " We're going to race." "We're going to race together." "I signed us up for a meet." "That's the news I had for you." "1 0,000 people start out." "At the end, there's only one winner." "There's only one champion." "What's he got that nobody else has?" "What makes him beat the guy in 2nd place?" "There's no catch-all answer." "It's about an individual, their story." "All great athletes have one thing in common." "They find themselves by kicking against something, against destiny's low blows." "If you look, there's a tragedy they had to overcome." "It could be poverty or destitution." "Or a personal tragedy." "Overcoming that makes them stronger." "They win because their life's at stake." "They never give up, keep fighting as if destiny's chasing them." "I'd worked that out, but I'd never felt it." "We're going to race, Leila." "And we're going to win." "Check out their faces after they've given their all." "Check out the emotion." "It comes from inside." "Deep down inside." "I never saw it anywhere else." "Listen, Yannick..." "We're right with you." "Here..." "Can you pass me the water, please?" "Excuse me, don't I know you?" "Haven't we met?" " At training." " Yeah, sure." "But before that." "I don't think so, I don't recall." "Toulouse, last year?" "No?" "I'm sure I've seen you before." "Your face is familiar." "It'll come back to me." "What was that about?" "Just a lame pick-up line." "Visually impaired 400m, to the start." "I've got it." "I remember now." "What's wrong?" "What's going on?" "I don't know." "Let's go then!" "I feel totally flat, I can't do it." "It happens to all athletes." "You'll be fine, take me out there!" "I can't." "I'm scared." "I'm scared, too." "C'mon, let's get out on the track!" "I'll drag you if I have to, all the way round!" "I can't!" "What's scaring you?" "That guy recognized me." "Other people will recognize me." "So what?" "What the hell did you do, for Christ's sake?" "What did you do?" "Answer me!" "Not now, I can't." "Yes, now." "Right now!" "Kervallec, we're waiting for you." "What's the problem?" "It's okay, we're fine." "We withdraw." "I'm not just back from Algeria." "I'm just out of prison." "Competition's not for you." "You don't have the fighting spirit, the will to win." "I sense something holding you back." "You're afraid." "Alain coached a group of female athletes." "We'd got married..." "I've decided you're leaving the group." "You can't do this to me." "Keep me, Alain." "Please, keep me!" "Stop it." "We both need some space." "To think things through." "I won't force you to fight today." "It's up to you." "If you want to, be there in 1 0." "You're first up." "Alain had introduced combat sports into our training." "To improve our reflexes and concentration." "And to learn to overcome fear." "That day, I couldn't back down." "I had to prove to him..." "Give me all you've got!" "Again!" "Faster!" "Again!" "You have 30 seconds." "Go on!" "Again!" "Let's stop there." "The blow snapped his neck." "He carried an old injury." "He died instantly." "I got six years." "Aggravated assault resulting in involuntary manslaughter." "The prosecution claimed it was" ""a desperate act"" "and premeditated even." "I didn't defend the charges." "I was devastated." "All I could think of was..." "I'd killed the father of my son, the man I loved." "What about your child?" "Vincent, Alain's brother, took him in and raised him." "I recognized you." "And you didn't tell us?" "To see if it clicked with Yannick." "It clicked." "I remember your words on the first day." ""There are no obstacles." "That's my job."" ""You have to trust me."" ""Trust me."" "You didn't trust me!" "You lied to me!" "You were bullshitting me!" "I'll come back for you." "Wait here for me." "I'm sorry." "I remember your case well now." "But it's yours." "It belongs to you." "I don't have an opinion on it." "And I won't judge you." "I'm really sorry." "I wasn't playing mind games." "Keep at it, don't give up." "There are other races and the big July meet." "The season's top race, at Stade de France." "I have rooms here for the drivers." "Some of them live miles away." "You can take one." "In return, you'll work for me." "We're going to be busy in the next few weeks." "You can help out." "I'm sorry about Yannick." "I'm so mad at myself." "Tell him, please." "He'll find another guide, don't worry about that." "N..." "N..." "I..." "C..." "K." "Capital letter." "Yannick." "Shift key." "3... 2..." "Delete." "Escape." "Can I help?" " It's okay." " I want to go outside." "Keep working." "There you are." "Lunchtime." "For you." "I made enough for two." "I think you'll like it." "Go on, help yourself." "I know why Yannick's mother hired me." "She thinks we can iron things out, but I'm not sure I want that." "You have a job, a room." "I see people with less." "For me, it's not a job." "You have to help me, get me out of there." "Usually, I get by on my own." "Now, I'm lost." "I have no contacts." "Nobody I can turn to for advice." "And my boy, Souley." "I'm lost there too." "Sorry, all I do is talk about me." "That's why we're here." "C'mon, faster." "We have different stride patterns." "It won't work." "I think we can work it out." "No, you don't understand." "It has to be perfect and it isn't." "You believe in miracles?" "If I did, I wouldn't waste my time with you." "Lucky you're blind or I'd kick your ass." "Cool it, stop it." " Go ahead!" " Calm down!" "I can still fight!" "You're a pain in the ass!" "Your handicap doesn't excuse everything." "Franck!" "Is he still here?" "It's me." "Martial." "Yannick needs me." "Can you help the guys?" "Where are you going?" "Kersidan, okay." "There you go." "What about you?" " Kersidan." " Here." " What's your name?" " Joyce." " And you?" " Saïd." "Where are you going?" "Le Pouldu." " Here." " Thanks." "Vincent, call me back." "Please." "Call me back." "I want to come, I want to see him." "It's his birthday today." "I want to see him." "I'm begging you, call me." "Tell me." "What's wrong?" "I asked for it 2 weeks ago." "What's going on?" "Let's not waste any more time!" "Your mother's going out." "No, it's Leila in your mother's car." " Leila?" " Yes." "What the hell are you doing?" "Open up!" "Open the door!" "Stop!" "Open up!" "Where are you going?" "You get out at the next light." "A driver will come for you." "I came to see you." "I've been thinking things over." "Now I know." "No, Yannick, I'm going away." "Far away." "Stop." "You're going too fast." "Stop!" "Stop the car." "Calm down!" "Stop, dammit!" "Please!" "I can't breathe!" "Get out." "Leave me alone." "I'm going for my son." "You can't go, you're making a huge mistake." "Your mother'd do anything for you." "Same here." "I'd do anything for my son." "The kid doesn't know you, he never met you." "If you take him, you'll destroy him." "Shut up!" "I'll come with you." "I'll help you." " I'll protect you." " I don't need your protection." "You're no use to me." "You're not helping me, you're getting in my way." "We have to talk." "You don't need me, you'll find another guide." "It's not about that." "It's about us." "It's not possible." "Listen to me." "I'm sure." "I know what I'm feeling." "I never felt this." "I don't want to hear those words." "I don't want to hear them anymore." "I don't want to say them anymore." "It's just to smooth the edges, so you don't cut your hands." "You take over." "I went by his school." "And your house." "Where is he?" "Answer me." "Where have you taken him?" "Your parents'?" "You took him to your parents'?" "You won't find him." "He's safe from your hysteria, so you can't abduct him." "I was expecting this one day." "That you'd be back." "I tried to be ready for it." "But you're never ready." "I'm sorry, Leila." "One day, we'll meet again." "I don't know when." "It'll take time." "You'll see him again, too." " I promise." " Seriously?" "You promise?" "I promise you." "You'll let me see him?" "Please." "I promise." "No, I'm not coming home." "Not yet." "6 months cooped up!" "Where will you go?" "What will you do?" "I'm scared for you." "I'm not alone, I'm with Leila." "I've no trust in her." "You know about her past." "You hired her." "You kept her on." "I did it for you." "You know that." "Let me talk to her." "No?" "It's pointless, you talking to her." "So you talk to her!" "If she refuses to bring you home immediately," "I call the cops." "You won't do that." "Don't do that!" " I want you home." " I won't forgive you." "I'll never forgive you." "Is someone expecting you?" "No." "So we don't go back, we keep going." "Where to?" "You'll see." "I'm sure you'll like it." "Do it for me." "Marie-Claude inherited it from her parents." "She grew up here." "So did I." "Where did you grow up?" "A housing project." "Don't believe all people say about the projects." "I have great memories." "That's where I took up running." "Dad used to walk me to training." "He was proud of me." "You won't get past me." "I hear you, you know." " Are you okay?" " Fine." "Hold on." "I never came out this way before." "This is the first time." "Untie it up front." "Are you sure?" "I won't be able to help you." "If I listen to them, I'll lose my memory too." "They put me in a lane and I'm not allowed to step out of it." "I want to live." "Nobody around me understands that." "You going?" "Are you scared?" "I'm always scared of anything new." "You see a white house through the trees?" "Yes." "That's the direction." "Steer toward it." "Okay." "Are there any other boats?" "You can accelerate then." "Go on..." "That's right." "You learn fast." "Smell that?" "There's salt in the air." "That means we're past the point." "You should see a red buoy up ahead." "Yes, it's on our left." "When we pass it, we turn toward land." "Okay." "It's now then." "Do you see the ships?" "Yes, I see them." "Aim for them." "We go between them." "Can you guide us?" "Yes." "Are we there?" "We're there." "Let me." "Stop it!" "It's dangerous!" "Yannick, stop!" "Over here!" "This way!" "Can you hear me?" "This way!" "Swim toward my voice!" "That's right!" "Keep going!" "This way!" "You're headed in the right direction." "Keep going!" "Come to get me!" "I can't start it." "You can do it, Yannick." "Toward me!" "Keep going, you're nearly there!" "That's the right direction." "This way." "That's good." "I'm here." "You're going to make it." "Keep going." "You've done it." "Put your hand out, your right hand." "Careful." "Are you okay?" "I thought..." "It's over now." "It's over, Yannick." "I'm here." "My mother called you?" "Yes." "She insisted we check if you'd been in the house." "She got a flight." "She'll be here in an hour." "Cast off." "Do you realize what you did?" "The risks?" "The danger?" "Let me explain." "You're irresponsible!" "Completely insane!" "You've no right to manipulate a disabled person like Yannick." "I accepted everything from the start." "Your strange behavior, your lies..." "I did it for Yannick." "Because he trusted you." "Even when I found out about your past, I never cut you loose!" "I felt sorry for you." "Do you wish to file a complaint?" "I don't know, I don't care." "It's not about that." "I just want Ms. Hamidi to stay out of my son's life." "To leave him in peace." "To disappear." "Mrs. Kervallec..." "It's worthless to you, but I give you my word." "I won't see Yannick again." "You'll never hear from me again." "You're in good shape!" " Want us to catch you?" " If you can!" "We're all very happy to have you here." "I'm really grateful." "Anyway..." "Don't worry, stay as long as you like." "But if my husband gives you the eye, you tell me." "You're nuts." "Heaven forbid!" "2!" "You've got your straight." "It's not a 2, it's a 4." "Quit lying to me!" "Quit faking!" "I don't lie to you!" "I don't fake anything!" "Tell me where Leila is." "I'm sure you know." "I don't know." "Find her then." "Call her social worker." " I won't." " Why not?" " I never want to hear about Leila." " I want to." "She's all I think about." "I love her." "How can you say that?" "You hardly know her." "How can I love a woman I've never seen?" "Whose face I'll never see?" "That's not what I mean." "It takes time to be sure of your feelings, that it's not a mistake." "Call off your war on Leila." "There's no need." "She doesn't want me." "She doesn't love me." "It was our first race together." "We were in the home stretch." "Franck yells we're nearly there and suddenly forgets all about me, drops the tether and throws his arms up as he crosses the line without me." "What did you do?" "I kept going all alone." "Straight into some photographers!" "Who wants to guide Yannick at the Areva meet?" "I'm sure he'll qualify." "You know how hard it is to guide." "I'm not sure about Yannick." "Actually, I am sure." "We're not a good fit." "And you?" "I'll be at the meet but not with him." "I'm not free, sorry." "Who are you guiding?" "Aladji." "You remember Ingrid Gerhauff, the German champ?" "She's a friend." "When she was 8, her father lost both legs in an accident, right in front of her." "At 1 8, she was sprint and long jump world champ." "Thanks to her legs." "Her victory was a kind of redress, a form of revenge." "It's the same with Yannick." "He sees his accident and disability as an injustice." "He wants redress too." "In position..." "Ready?" "Your shoulders!" "Use your shoulders!" "Open up, for Christ's sake!" " He's here every day." " Yeah?" "It's Franck." "It's me." "Who's there?" "It's Franck and the guy he runs with." "Hi." "Aladji." "Hi there." "I'm Yannick." "You had the car crash recently." " You racing at the meet?" " I'll be there." "Ever run at Stade de France?" "No, never." "Watch out, the pressure there is unbelievable!" "A lot of guys lose it completely." "Thanks for the advice." "Good luck, Yannick." "Easy, we're warming up." "Let's get to know each other." "That's right." "Not so fast." "Take it easy." "That's it, slow down." "Into the curve." "Going well, don't you think?" "Sure, they're getting to know each other." "It'll be fine." "That was good." "I'm here." "Thank you." "See you tomorrow at 5, right?" "That's right." " You got my bag?" " I've got it." "You have any news of Leila?" "Know where she is?" "I don't know." " Do you?" " No, I don't know either." "Come on." "His technique's good, he's improving." "He'll be ready for the meet, no doubt about it." "So what's bugging you?" "He is." "He's the problem." "Or it's me." "Or the two of us as a team." "We don't talk." "We share nothing." "It's not about running with each other, but for each other." "You've got to go for it." "Go for it with him." "That's impossible." "I gave my word." "I promised." "You want Yannick to pull through?" "Didn't you say "vital"?" "It's "vital" for him?" "Exactly." "You're absolutely right." "So go for it." "I know Yannick's running, his rhythm and stride." "He's all energy and power." "That's the hard bit for you." "Guide him but let him pull you round." "Closer." "That's right." "Closer." "Good." "We're in the straight." "Crank it up!" "That's the moment you're looking for." "Perfect coordination." "Find the zone and stay there." "Then you relax and stay smooth." "Do that and you can beat anybody." "They lose time by going out of sync." "Yannick must be near peak form." " He's faster than me." " You know what to do then." "Give it all you've got." "No easing off!" "C'mon, all the way!" "57"12." " How many?" " 57"12." "2" off your best time in 2 weeks." "What was our time?" "Still over a minute." "We only shaved a bit off." "One more." "Are you sure?" "We can come back tomorrow." "Now." "We said we'd do it, so let's do it." "I said that last time to Yannick." "You okay?" "Are you hurt?" "Not that." "Not now." "It's my fault, I'm sorry." "Fuck it!" "It's your ankle?" "It hurts!" "I'm fated never to run at Stade de France." "It was my dream as a teen." "Come on." "It was a great plan." "But it could never have worked." "Yannick could never win with me." "So, no regrets." "You go for it." "Your brother-in-law dropped by." "We had a long chat." "He gave me this for you." "Thanks." "You're not opening it?" "Later." "It won't blow up in your face." "He doesn't see you as the enemy anymore." "Vincent, I mean." "Take a look." "Well?" "What is it?" "Photos of Souley." "Photos of my son." "What time's the race tonight?" "We're scheduled for 7:50." "You coming?" "Sure." "The evening's all planned." "There's too much choice." "Get a sponsor." "You found my France uniform?" "No." "Hold on..." "Here it is." "It's the official uniform." "Will they let you wear it?" "I'll say I packed my bag on my own and got mixed up." "Sorry, Mr. Chairman." "My eyes playing tricks on me!" "Hi, how are you?" "Let's go." "See you later." "It's great you could make it." "He won't admit it means a lot to him." "And me too." "I came for you." "To see you." "You're going to win." "I know it." "That's also why I'm here." "What's that noise?" "What's wrong, Leila?" "Get ready, we don't have much time." "Leila wanted to run with you." "She trained hard." "Very hard." "To be sure to keep up." "She said not to tell you." "One evening, she pushed too hard and injured herself." "She was training with you?" "Yes." "Thank you, Franck." "Sit down, spikes on." "The next race for you tonight is the 400 meters for visually impaired athletes." "The elite international field includes" "Aladji Ba, Paralympics bronze medalist." "Please give them all a big cheer." "400 meters runners to the line..." "And they are..." "In lane 1 ," "Pierre Nicolas." "With his guide, Francis Rousseau." "In lane 3, a regular medalist at disabled sports championships," "Aladji Ba!" "With his guide, Jean-Luc Guerin." "In lane 5," "Yannick Kervallec." "There you go." "With Franck Cissé, his guide." "In lane 7, Tarik Chéradi... running with Wilfried Bakala." "This 400 meters should be a particularly open race." "Let's do your hands first." "Get your feet in position." "Now your hands." "Push your fingers up against mine." "You're good." "A clean start to the 400 meters!" "They need your support." "Go, Yannick." "Stay close, contact." "Out of the first curve..." "Chéradi's ahead..." "That's good." "After 1 50 meters, Aladji Ba takes the lead!" "Hold him off." "Aladji Ba continues to set the pace." "Halfway down the back stretch..." "In the curve, stay in sync." "It's between Aladji Ba and Yannick Kervallec." "Watch out, the curve's the hardest part." "Now out of the curve." "Going into the straight." "1 00 meters to go." "Give it everything now." "Hang in there." "Go for it." "Faster!" "Push!" "Keep going, Yannick." "It's not over." "Fight!" "Fight all the way!" "Now!" "We're there!" "It's a dead heat between Aladji Ba and Yannick Kervallec." "They crossed the line together." "The judges will check the photo finish..." "What happened?" "Who won?" "We don't know." "Maybe we did." "Good run, guys." "Aladji?" "Let's hear it for them and their guides." "Here comes the photo finish..." "Yannick Kervallec is the winner!" "Beating Aladji Ba by a few hundredths." "That's a surprise from the newcomer." "Amazing!" "We did it." "Leila?" "Where's Leila?" " I want to see Leila." " This way." " Where?" " Over there." "We won." "Marie-Claude's over there." "Give me your hand." "Your mother's right there." "Where's Leila?" "She's here." "I won!" "By a tenth of a second." "Less than a meter." "You were awesome!" "Thank you, Franck." " We won." " I know." "It's thanks to you." "It's for you." "We won for you." "It's for you." "Yes, I know." "Well done." "My love." "I want to say those words." "I want you to hear them." "You're beautiful." "You're so beautiful." "Subtitles:" "Simon John" "Subtitling:" "Eclair Video" " Paris"
