"Why did you let him out?" "Seven years earlier" "What are you doing?" "Fuck!" "Stop it" "What are you doing?" "Stop it" "Mum!" "Mum!" "Mum!" "The Returned" "Present day" "Léna?" "Can you hear me?" "Call me." "Frédéric" " Still here?" " l was waiting for you" "Walk me home?" "You know all that stuff Léna said about me last night?" "She was telling the truth I'm not like other girls" "I come from another world" "A world of dead souls who hide from the sun and drink blood!" "Are you mad?" " Tricked you!" " If you say so" "Anyway, see you later" "Can't I come?" "You're right." "We shouldn't rush things" "See you at the Lake Pub?" "Pierre, have you seen the little boy?" "Not this morning." "Have you tried the games room?" "It's empty." "So is the dormitory" "He can't have gone far" "The homeless lady has gone, too" "I hope you can pay for this" "No problem, darling" "Do you have any money?" "It can't buy happiness anyway I recommend the Big Burger" "It's not very nice, but it's filling" "Will I ever see my parents again?" "I'm sure you will" "They were good people, you know" "Why haven't they come back, too?" "Maybe they're looking for you" "Do you know Pierre at the Helping Hand?" "You don't have to be scared" "No one can hurt us now" "But can we hurt other people?" "They don't need us for that" "is there someone you want to hurt?" "Do you know what's beneath the lake?" "Johan?" "Fish?" "Yes, and what else?" " Caroline?" " Seaweed?" " Beavers?" " Perhaps" " Matéo?" " Goats?" "I don't think so." "Anything else?" "Do you think there might be houses?" "Did you know that when the water level goes down you can see a church steeple?" "Years ago, there was a village where the lake is now" "The village was flooded when the old dam broke" "Do you know about the old dam?" "Yes" "Are there people living under the water?" "Miss, did anyone die because of the dam?" "Why did Simon kill himself?" "What?" "Why did the dam break?" "Mum, are you OK?" "What's wrong with her?" "I don't know" "Yes" "OK" "Let me know if you hear anything" "Thanks" "What's wrong?" "Léna ran away from hospital last night" "Where is she?" "I don't know" "Have you tried her mobile?" "No answer" "She must be with friends" "Or with Frédéric" "Frédéric?" "She often goes without telling anyone" "And you let her?" "She's not a child any more ls she sleeping with Frédéric?" "I don't know" "We don't talk about it" "Of course not" "Why would she explain her love life?" "I've brought more I can carry it" "Have you been hunting?" " We could go together" " It's a bit late" "You made coffee" " Want some?" " No" "is someone here?" "It's nothing" " What are you doing?" " Nothing" "is it her?" "Has she come back?" "is it Mum?" "She won't see me?" "It's OK" "All right?" "You should take a pill and sleep" "You'll feel better" "No, I don't think I will" "Why did you never tell me about Simon?" "Because I didn't want to hurt you" "How would you know?" "It might have been simpler if I had known ls it simpler now?" "How do we know he wanted to die?" "There were several witnesses" "What's wrong with Mum?" "She's just tired" "Because of the angel?" "What angel?" "Simon" "You saw him?" "Yes, he came yesterday" " Did he touch you?" " No" "Has he hurt Mum?" "Listen if he comes back, tell me right away" " Understand?" " OK" "You can't stay here" "Two guests disappeared this morning." "The police will be searching" "Can I borrow some money?" "You want to leave town?" "I doubt they will let you" "But we will find a way" "What?" " Can I come in?" " No ls he here?" " Who?" " Victor" "Why would he be?" "Have you lost him?" "He isn't at the Helping Hand I thought he might be here" "You let him out alone?" "No, he's with a woman" " A woman?" " A homeless woman from the shelter" "We have a good description of her" "You left him with a homeless woman?" "Don't worry." "He can't have gone far lt's best if you stay here lt's best if you stop telling me what to do" "And don't expect a call" "Claire, this is Simon" "He's the one I mentioned, ifthat's still OK?" "Of course" "You're very welcome" "This is Simon" "He will be staying with us" "He's like you I'll tell you when the coast is clear" "Thanks" "So I expect you're hungry I'll make some food" "When did you die?" "Ten years ago" "I bet a lot has changed" "Not really" "Do you remember what happened before you came back?" "That's good to know I can't remember, either" "Do you know why we came back?" "No idea" "You don't say a lot" "Were you like that before you died?" "Do your parents live here?" "No" "But you still know people?" "Yeah I bet your girlfriend was surprised" "Same here" ""Love is stronger than death"?" "What a load of rubbish" "Can you help me?" "Yes, of course" "Zombies have to stick together" "We were changing her dressing lt's almost as if her wounds are disappearing" " The divers found them?" " Yes" " Why were they here?" " We're carrying out some checks" "What sort of checks?" "Routine stuff" "Thomas asked me to come and see you" "He was very worried ls it because of Simon?" " Simon?" " Yes" "Thomas was very confused" "Talking about resurrection..." "To be honest, I think it's sheerjealousy" "Sadly, he's iealous of a spirit, something that doesn't exist lt's not quite as simple as that" "Simon is still very much with us" "And Thomas wants to understand why lt's me that he's worried about" "He loves me even more than Simon" "There's no use comparing them" "How would you know?" "After all the times we talked about him I think I understand your feelings for him" "You encouraged me to live with Simon's memory" "All these years, you pushed me to live with the dead" "Did you know he killed himself?" "Without Thomas, I would be dead" "Like Simon" "Inspector?" "I've found the woman" "But the boy isn't with her" "Where am I?" "At my house" "Why am I here?" "You fainted, so I brought you back" "Sit up" "My mum used to give me this when I hurt myself lt's nettles" " Don't nettles sting?" " No" "Only the spines." "You lust have to boil them" "Sounds dodgy to me" "Trust me" "Hungry?" " Yes, a bit - l'll make you something" "Can you deal with that this afternoon?" "And call the coroner" " OK" " Thanks" " Well?" " Well, nothing yet" "She says they left together, then split up" "But she's hardly reliable" "Why not?" "She says she was born in 1943 and she's Mr Costa's wife" "Do you know her?" "Yeah" "Who is she?" "Do you think I can talk to her?" "Shame. I thought you were bringing food" "Were you born in 1943?" "Yes" " l suppose you don't believe me?" " No, I do I believe you" "Have we met?" "I was your husband's nurse I've seen photos of you I noticed he kept those" "He didn't forget me" "But you're dead?" "I'm afraid so" "And the little boy, too?" "Yes" "But how?" "Well..." "When did he die?" "Just before I did" "And his parents?" "Them, too" " So where is Victor now?" " Victor?" "I mean the little boy" "Don't worry about him" "He will come and see you once his work is done" "How can you tell if you're dead?" "It doesn't take long to realise" "Because sometimes I wonder if I'm..." "There's only one way to find out" "Julie?" "Are you OK?" " Hello" " Hello" "Are you Adèle?" "Yes" "Meet Simon at the bus station tonight, in time for the last coach" "Don't pack too much or you will look suspicious" " That's it" " Wait" "Where is he?" "At my house" "He's hiding" "He's lucky you didn't forget him" " What did he tell you?" " Not a lot" "But he said you were meant to get married and basically, you're going to make up for lost time" "Tell him I'm not coming" "Are you sure?" "I think he really loves you" "And what he's going through isn't easy" "Believe me, I know" "You, too?" " You're..?" " Yes" "And the person I love doesn't want me lt's hard" "Make the right decision" " How many were there?" " 36" " All in the lake?" " It seems so" "How long had they been there?" "It's hard to say exactly" "But it looks recent." "It can't have been more than 1 2 hours" "There are no toxins in the tissue, so they weren't poisoned" "No injuries, either lt doesn't look like they were shot" " Then how did they die?" " The lungs are waterlogged" "They were alive when they entered the lake" "Which means?" "Which means they drowned" "There's no sign of a struggle lt seems they went in of their own accord" "Why did they do that?" "Either for swimming lessons or more likely they were running from something and were so scared they would rather drown" "It was suicide?" " When was this?" " Last summer" "At his holiday house" " What's his name?" " Vincent" "He looks a bit older." "How old is he?" "Nearly 26" "Hi" "Photos of me?" "No, photos of my ex" "Oh, so you're a bit of a minx?" "You have no idea" "Look and learn, Clara" "Why are there no drinks here?" " They're coming - l warn you, I'm thirsty" " Fantastic" " Thank you" "Winner chooses the forfeit" "Ready?" "One, two three" "Ready for the next one?" "I'll count" "Same again, please" "Oh, I'm sorry" "No, come in" "No sign of your daughter?" "No, still nothing" "She hasn't come to the hospital, either" "The whole county is looking for her I'm sure they will find her soon" "Did you know her?" "Yes, a little" "Beautiful, isn't she?" " Is she doing better?" " Yes" "Much better" "The doctors can hardly believe it" "By rights, she should be dead but her vital organs have healed" "And the wounds on her stomach keep changing" "They're closing up" "Incredible isn't it?" "Excuse me" "Hi, Claire" "Have you heard from Léna?" "No, I was hoping you had" "She's not at the hospítal" "Hasn't she called?" "No I'll check the Lake Pub and let you know íf she's there" "Don't worry. I'm sure she's fine" "OK" "I was about to bring this up" "Camille is sleeping" "That's wonderful" "She hasn't slept since she came back" "May I?" "Of course" "Are you always hungry, too?" "Yeah" "Pierre says you want to leave" "Yeah I want to take my wife and daughter away to start a new life" "You have a daughter?" "It's the most wonderful thing in the world" " OK, Alice." "Time to get serious" " OK" "Here we go" " One" " Go on!" " _wo" " What a legend" "Three" "This is good vodka" " What are they feeding you?" " Four" "Last one" "Outstanding." "Well done" "Now, you" "Your turn, Frédéric" "Give him some support" "One" "Two" " He's struggling" " Three" "You lose" "He lost, so he has to do whatever you want" " Whatever I want?" " Yeah" "Well, well..." "What are you playing at?" " Dad, stop it" " Stop what?" "Julie" "Julie" "Please don't do it" "Give me your hand" "I love you" "Well, if that's how you feel about it..." "Have you lost your mind?" "What are you doing?" "Don't worry. I didn't want to die" " Then what were you doing?" " Checking something" "You wouldn't understand" "You're clearly in a bad way I'm sorry about Victor" "But this isn't the answer" "And you have the answer?" "is it that obvious?" "The next time you make a cry for help, try taking pills" "You won't survive that fall Inspector we've spotted a boy ín Saínt-Míchel" "Thanks. I'm on my way" "That's right next to the Helping Hand" " What are you doing?" " Coming with you." "Why?" "Or should I stay here all alone?" "There you are" "We were starting to worry" "Where were you?" "I was dead" "What happened to you?" "You killed me" "And you killed my parents" "You?" "Forgive me. I didn't know you" "No, don't be afraid lt wasn't me who killed you" "He lost his mind lt all went wrong. I was trying to protect you" " Don't you remember?" " No, you didn't try" "What did you do to him?" "Everything is OK I'm here." "Don't worry" "Where is that blood from?" "It's nothing" "Have you started again?" "No, it was a deer" "Was Lucy a deer, too?" "You can tell me I won't do anything." "You can trust me" "Tell Mum, too." "Tell her I won't do it again" "Do what again?" "I had to stop you" "You understand?" "You couldn't fight it" "Now I know it wasn't your fault" "But it's all in the past I'll protect you now I'll protect you both" "What?" "It was you who killed me?" "Shoot" "Shoot!" "Go on" "Go on" "Say you forgive me ifyou forgive me, she will, too" "Say you forgive me!" "Why didn't you come?" "Was it him?" "Did he keep you here?" "Come quickly." "He's here" "You can't stay I came for you I'm not leaving without you" "Why did you do it?" "Do what?" "You said that I saved you" "That you were happy and you stopped thinking about it" " Of course I was happy - l believed you" "You're dragging us to the grave" "Now you have to let us live" "We don't need you" "Go away" "We're not coming with you" "You chose to die instead of staying with us" "You're dead" "Stay there!" "Stop!" "Come on" "Who are you?" "You know who I am" "I love you" "And you love me, too" "That's all that matters" "Camille?" "Camille?" "Wait" "What's wrong, sweetheart?" "It's Frédéric" "He knows"
