" Thanks." "She didn't come empty-handed." "I can see that." " Coming from?" " Fresnes Prison." " Reason?" " To be closer to family." "Okay, we were expecting her." "Still 5-foot-9?" "Who said this was a body search?" "I'm talking to you." "She got naked before I told her to." "You ever see that before?" "DOWN BY LOVE" "Freely adapted from the novel by Florent Gongalves and Catherine Siguret" "Snow White!" "Ladies, quiet!" "Hey, hottie!" "The girls are in the yard." "You can start unpacking." "The minister's coming Friday, so behave yourself." "Hey." "What're you doing here?" "What's this shit?" "Get it out of my face." "It's cool!" "Back off." "She acts bad but she's not mean." "I'll fuck you wherever you sleep." "Chill, Sonia, stop busting our chops." "What's the white trash doing in my room?" "What's your problem?" "It's not your room." "Forget it, she's on the rag." "Can you believe that stuff on TV?" "They should film us." "More shit goes down here." "I can't stand that bitch's face." "Go die!" "You watch that?" "You'll be at home." "Where's my nail polish?" " Here it is." " Thanks." "Want some?" " I'm not a whore." " It's for the minister." "The minister can kiss my ass." "Relax." "She's coming to visit our prison 'cause it's better or something." "I don't give a fuck." "They're even putting on a fashion show." "I think it's badass." " It's a nice change." " You're still in jail." "You're jealous 'cause you're not one of the models." " Screw you." " Don't have a fit, who cares." "One day maybe." "Inch' Allah." "In your dreams." "Fuck off." "You never watch TV." "Who you think you're fooling?" "Fuck off." "She's all bark and no bite." "Who's got a light?" "Here." "Melanie?" "You ever get laid during visits?" " Gross." "Are you serious?" " What's gross?" "I don't do stuff like that." "It's filthy!" "I don't want no diseases." "You're a fat liar." " Everyone has fucked in there." " Not me." "She's fucked, she's fucked... and she has too." " I've never gotten laid." " Bullshit." "Hang on, hang on!" "Didn't she even describe the positions last week?" " I did not." " Put out your cigs!" "Hurry, hurry." "Close the window quick." "Hurry up." "Good job." "We can't leave you alone for 5 minutes." "Smoking's forbidden in here." "Do you know why?" "It's bad for your health." "I'm serious." "Do you know why?" "She doesn't talk." "But she gives great head." "She can hear." " She came from Fresnes..." " Three days ago." "I know who you are." "I advise you to keep a low profile." "Mélanie." "Your request for partial liberty wasn't granted." " The commission meets in 3 months." " That long!" "That's too long." "I'm sick of making chicken." " You want to change jobs?" " No." "Lahouel!" "Hurry up, you're next." "Froment!" "What do you want?" "You got anything left?" " No." " Come on, she's new." "I said nothing's left!" "What's going on?" "She's new." "She doesn't have a dress." "For you?" "Give her the white one." " This one?" " Yes." "Hurry, we're running late." "Boukara!" "Did you see the guard who thinks she's Beyoncé?" " Hey, it's the minister!" " Let's see." "Check out the warden with the minister." "Can I see?" "Wait a sec!" "Come on, move it." "We're starting." "What're you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "It looks good like that." "That's Pilar." "Stay clear of her, she's mental." "Hurry up, Anna, you're on." "You asked to see me?" "Go on, I'm listening." "Can I keep my job in the kitchen after my trial?" "The hearing's in Paris so I'll be transferred to Fleury Prison." " When is your trial?" " April." "In four months?" "That leaves us time to find a solution." " I'm afraid they'll replace me." " I understand." "But they need to cook while you're gone." "I can't promise anything, it depends on the other girls' postings." "We'll see in April." "Isn't the trial what worries you?" "It's exhausting, you know." "You leave early, come back late." "Body searches every day..." "I know." "How much time will I get?" "That's not my job." "You know who I am." "Yes." "A little." "And?" "And what?" "What do you think of me?" "Not much." "What I mean is that I'm not here to judge you." "I don't care why you're here." "That's the law's job." "Mine is keeping order here." "Margaux!" " How are you, sir?" " Fine, thank you." "Karine, could you bring me Miss Amari's file?" "Right away." "Your daughter's here!" "Don't forget to pull." "How are you, sweetie?" "Having fun?" "You sitting in my seat?" "Sorry, honey, I didn't seethe time." "I'm yours in two minutes." "Show me your drawing." "Very pretty." "That's us in a few days." "Karine, could you ask them to turn the heat down?" " Should I close the door?" " Yes." "Just push." "I have no problem with your daughter." "She has good grades in all subjects and she's sharp." "But..." "I think you should talk to her." "Because?" "Her classmates make fun of her." "Having both parents in jail isn't usual." "Excuse me?" " Other parents are wondering." " About what?" "We work in prisons." "We.re not "in" prison." "We're civil servants like you." "What the hell?" "Calm down." "That's not what I meant." "Why should I calm down?" "That's exactly what you meant." "You should be proud instead of criticizing my daughter." "It's not what I meant." "I'm sorry." "Are you crazy?" "What came over you?" "Who is that petty bureaucrat with a petty life?" " And what exactly are you?" " An artist." " Granted, an accursed one." " Frustrated too." "I'm so frustrated, darling." "I can't take anymore." "You're crazy." "I've been waiting three days to go to the infirmary." "I haven't been sleeping." "I haven't slept at all!" "What do you want me to do?" "Kill myself?" "Is that it?" "You like my sweater?" "It's nice." "You better like it, you got it for me!" "What's wrong now?" "You don't like it?" "Sure, but that's not why I send you money." "I never buy anything for myself." "Come on, it's Christmas." "Who's she?" "No one." " She's not giving you trouble?" " No way." " Do you work here too?" " Sure I do." "Still painting?" "I'm in the kitchen now." "I asked at Fresnes but they refused." "They didn't trust me with a knife." "You're not a criminal." " How much do you make?" " Nine euros." " That's great." "An hour?" " A day." "It didn't cost a lot." "I bought it at the market." "Good for you." "How are your friends?" "I don't see them much anymore now that you're here." "Why not?" "I don't know." "They don't want to see me." "You ever fight with her?" "In prison, yeah." "In regular boxing, she can ream me." "But in Thai boxing, you use your legs." "In Thai, I beat her." "Hey, ladies." "Was it nice seeing Mommy?" "For me, it's the shins." "You see her old lady?" "She's got one pair of tits." "I wanted to lick them bad." "I wonder if yours are the same." "Wanna let me taste?" " Back off." " We're talking." " Maybe I'll rape her later." " You think so?" "Get your hands off her." "Fuck off!" "Stop!" "Go, Pilar!" "Bust her face!" "Slug her!" "Go, Anna!" "Cunt!" "Let go of me!" "You calmed down now?" "Get off me." "Thank you." "Hello." "Close the door." "Have a seat." "I wanted to discuss last week's incident with you." "This cannot happen again." "You need self-control." "Next time, we'll take disciplinary action." "Your trial is soon, you need to behave." "I get it, thanks." "Where do you think you're going?" "I'm trying to help you." "I'm not the one in jail." "Do you get counseling?" "We have psychologists here." "They can help you." "I'd rather talk to you." "I'd never guess." "We can meet occasionally before your trial." "To talk." "Are we done?" "No." "I have plenty of time." "Funny, me too." "It's hard for my mom without me." "She's all alone." " And your father?" " What father?" " He's dead?" " I don't really know." " What's funny?" " You're so serious. "He's dead?"" "Relax, I'm kidding." "I barely knew my dad." "Don't be sad." "It happens to the best of us." "Are you taking any classes?" "Here?" "No, at Harvard." " I can joke too." " You're not funny." "Yes, I take classes." "I want to go to college later." "That's good." "Yeah, but my trial will put me behind schedule." "Nothing's ever lost, if you take it seriously." "What are you doing now?" "In class?" "Analyzing texts." "Stuff like that." " Which text?" " Phaedra." "Racine." "The author's name is "Racine."" "I don't know." "You playing with my head?" "You mean "Racine", like "racing"?" "Yes." "And his first name is Jean, like me." "Jean Racing." " That's lame." " Yep, you're right." "Do you like the text?" "It's just the start." "It's pretty tough for her." "She's kind of victim of her destiny." " Do you believe in destiny?" " I don't know." "Phaedra was 2,000 years ago." "Things are different now." "Yes, they're different." "Shit." "I'm not hurting you?" "This should do till tomorrow." "You're an angel." " What're you doing?" " Sorry, I thought..." "That's why you're so nice to me?" "Shit." "You can't trust anyone here." "Babe, you wiped them out!" "We whipped their asses." "She made them eat it!" "Hey girl, you sulking?" "Cat got your tongue?" "What the fuck's going on here?" "Hello, counselor." "How does her case look?" "Complicated." "But she was a minor at the time and she had no previous record." "We'll wait and see." "Good luck." "Goodbye." "So you're leaving us?" " I don't want to." " I believe you." "My lawyer said 15 years." "That's almost more than me." "No one knows." "It might be 12." "You're a big help." "No, I'm doing my job." "What's Fleury like?" "It's delightful." "It has big parks, no bars on the windows." "I'm joking" "It's huge, it's rowdy." "You'll be glad to come back." "It's not exactly fun here." "Take care of yourself." " Are you leaving?" " No, you are." "Don't forget about me for the kitchen." "No, I won't forget you." "Amari." "Time to go." "Jacket." "Dress." "Bra." "Panties." "Turn around." "Open your mouth." "You can get dressed." "Hello, Anna." "How do you feel?" "Are you crazy?" "Why are you dressed like that?" "You have to cover yourself." "For goodness' sake." "That's better." "Well?" "How did it go?" "I saved you some bread." ""I wanted to make an effort," ""be pretty and well-dressed." ""I got it all wrong." ""I'm such a loser." ""They say you reap what you sow." ""I guess I deserve all this." ""I feel so guilty." ""I hope I'll be back soon, working in the kitchen." ""Anna."" "Jean?" "What are you doing?" "Coming to bed?" "It's in camera, sir." "No entrance unless you're a witness." "Miss Amari reminds me of many young women today, who seem to confuse their over-eroticized bodies with a burning desire for a stable emotional life." "This wide, dangerous gap symbolizes an entire generation's loss of foundations." "I hereby call for a prison sentence of 10 to 12 years." "You got 9 years." "It won't be 20 if you appeal." "How much time have you done?" "Four years?" "A little more." "With a reduced sentence, you'll get out right after your appeal." "You'll be 24 or 25?" "Twenty-four." "Many women start new lives much later." "How do I reduce my sentence?" "You know perfectly well." "It depends on your behavior." "Then on you too." " What do you mean?" " You write the report." "With the other officers." "I don't do it alone." "Can you use a computer?" "Not everyone here does, believe me." "I have a project for you." "It'll take one afternoon a week." "I already work in the kitchen." "The kitchen isn't possible for now." "We put you in maintenance." "It's not the end of the world." "At least you'll get out of your cell." "So what else do I have to do?" "I've developed a project to buy goods from an outside retailer." " Like a commissary." " Sort of." "Except that goods will be cheaper because they're close to expiry." "That's the deal?" "Yeah." "It's better to pay 2 euros for soap rather than 6." "Basically, your job will be to manage inmates' orders according to their commissary money." "And on the range of products offered by the retailer." "So, how are you coming along?" "Fine, I think." "I sorted items by category:" "hygiene, food, etc." "Then I entered the expiry date." "If we pass the limit, the goods automatically disappear." "That's great." "But this here..." "What's that?" "That's the prisoners' funds." "Very good." "Keep it up." "Ladies, quiet please." "Can we start over?" "Can I have everyone's attention?" "I'd like to continue our previous discussion about Phaedra, which you might have read." "I'd like to discuss several points and get your feedback." "For example:" "do we decide to fall in love?" "What's "falling in love"?" "Do we really love or do we just like the idea?" "Interesting point." "What do the others think?" "What makes us fall in love with someone?" "Uh, I think that, uh..." " Spit it out." " Let me finish." " Let me talk!" " Tell us about the visiting room." "Go on, Mélanie." "We don't decide to fall in love, but we decide to stay." "We don't decide anything." "It happens when it's supposed to." "It's about being in tune." "What's being "in tune"?" "Hunk-a-tude." "Hunk-a-tude!" " Okay." "Physical appearance." " Personality?" "Personality." "Charm." "It's how they make you feel." "It's butterflies in your stomach." "Stars in your eyes." "There's different kinds of love." "Romance, passion..." "There's love that's... sometimes people get possessive." "What do you know about that?" "You're still a virgin." "She's like a virgin!" "Touched for the very first time!" "Sometimes love is forbidden by moral taboos." " Exactly." " But the heart is something else." "It's the battle between heart and mind." "And Phaedra loves someone she doesn't have the right to love." "Does that stop her from loving?" "That bugs me." "You say "she doesn't have the right."" "But who says who has the right?" "I don't know." "You brought up moral taboos." "What are some examples of moral taboos?" "It's not because..." "It's forbidden but it happens anyways." "I agree." " That's what happens in the play." " Yes." "Let's read an extract." "Would you read for us, Aïda?" "Yep, Aïda, that's me." ""My pain is not recent." ""Scarcely was I bound" ""to Aegeus' son by the laws of marriage." ""My happiness and peace seemed well secured." ""Athens showed me my splendid enemy." ""I saw him and blushed," ""I paled at his sight."" "My soul grew terribly distraught." "A veil obscured my vision, my voice faltered, my blood ran cold, and then burned like fire..." "Hello, Priska." "You're studying." "That's good." "Is that Phaedra?" "No, it's not Phaedra." " Excuse me?" " No, it's not Phaedra." "Is something wrong?" "Tell me." "I want to leave here." "I understand." "No." "You don't understand." "May I?" "Anna, in prison..." "It's not about prison." "Then what's the problem?" "You." "Excuse me?" "You don't get it, do you?" "Where are you going?" "I don't have the right to leave?" "What about your notes?" "That's for you." "Promise you'll read them." ""My pain is not recent." ""I can no longer keep my secret to myself." ""I thought about you non-stop at Fleury." ""Here it's worse." ""My heart is bad, so nothing is possible." ""I know it, that's why I want to leave." "Please transfer me." ""Anna."" "Jean." "I'm coming." "What's wrong?" "There's a problem with a girl." "I have to go." "Pilar did it." "Her cellmate was complaining of pain so she beat her up." "We got there ASAP." "Let me go!" "Bitch!" "We'll put her in solitary." "Come in." "I have bad news." "What?" "The girl was pregnant." "She lost her child." "The doctors think she'll pull through." "Should we call the family?" "No, I'll take care of it tomorrow." "Good night." "How's everything going?" "You need to understand that... what we're doing is important." "We're the only prison in France doing this." "Everywhere else, prices are jacked up..." "Easy does it." "Sorry." "Do you still want to leave?" "You're taking a bath in the dark?" "What?" "Just looking at you." "Anything wrong with that?" "Good night." "What's this?" "It's our place." " It's about time you gave me a key." " A key?" "Yes." "I did all the decorating." "Is that us?" "Yeah." "We're kind of fat." "Your place is nice." "I mean our place." "I hope you like it." "I like everything." "Raï' cats blab for hours before singing." "Hey, check out the warden." "I want you to teach me Ya Zina." "We can't stand each other anymore." "It's out of control." "All we do is argue." "Especially her." "Not right now." "But concretely, what's going on?" "She insults me." "She throws everything she can at me." "It depends on her mood." "How long's it been going on?" "Over a month." "Your record is excellent, Alhem." "I don't see why the commission would refuse." " But I can't promise anything." " Okay, thanks." " Have a good day." " Goodbye." "You wanted to see me?" " Sit down." " I'd rather stand." "As you like." "Is there a problem?" "Talk." "We did something stupid." "We shouldn't have." "I'll organize your transfer." "You're right, it's better for us." "You're kidding, right?" "No." "I'm sorry." "No you're not." "I don't get it, are you serious?" "Anna, it's for us." "No, for you." "I wrote you a letter before you bagged me." " I know, I read it." " And?" "You got no balls." "Don't touch me." "Guard!" " Are you done?" " Yes, we're done." "Hello, my name is Elise." "I'm a guard at the Paris Santé prison." "And as you can see, I also organize painting workshops." "This is my first time here." "But I've heard a lot about you." "Okay, let's not waste any time." "I'm going to need a model." "Like what?" "A top model?" "Are you serious?" "I need one of you to pose so that the others can draw her." "It sure won't be me." "Not in your dreams." "Come on." "We'll switch models during class." "Why don't you do it?" "Very well." "Come up here." "Clip the paper onto the easel." "Is she for real?" "Hot babe!" "It's not essential, but if no one objects..." "So we draw her breasts?" "Why are you hiding?" "Show your tits." "That smells good." "Is Louise already in bed?" "Bathed and brushed." "Bathed and brushed, huh?" "Dinner's almost ready." "Jean?" "What are you doing?" "What?" "You don't like it?" "I saw you today when the girl got undressed." " You couldn't take your eyes off her." " Don't be silly." "You'll be transferred this week." "Until then, you stay in solitary." "We can't keep you anymore." " You can't do this." " Unfortunately, I can." "You went too far." "We warned you." "Do that and I'll denounce you." " For what?" " I'll bust you." "I'll tell everything." "Everything I saw." "Everyone here knows." "You know nothing and you saw nothing." "They'll find out you're banging her." "Between us, I'd be careful." "She's twisted." "A real bitch." "Thanks for the advice." "Seeing where you're going, I'd have done the same." "You think you're so smart, but she's the one who'll screw you!" "Asshole!" " What are you doing?" " Can't you see?" "Why aren't you in the computer room?" " I'm leaving anyhow." " Not anymore." "What are you doing here?" "Are you on break?" "Go on." "Back to work." "We're not done." "You too, Castejón, back to your cell." "See you later, Anna." "You can do that later." "I've never done this before." "Liar." "Stop moving, I said." "You never out your wife's hair?" "It's no secret, you wear a ring." "It's a pain, I wish we had a mirror." "Do you have kids?" "Why don't you answer me?" "If you're married, you have kids." "It's worse if you don't talk." "I imagine things." "What do you imagine?" "You coming home at night, your kids running into your arms..." "You want me to tell you?" "In fact, I think I'd rather not know." "Not today." "Maybe someday." "I don't have kids, if you were wondering." "It's not definitive." "I'm sure it's not." "I'm warning you, I want kids one day." "So?" " It's not bad." " Really?" "You could use a new out too." "Why?" "It's so-so." "I can cut it." "You want to cut my hair?" "Yeah, right." "So why aren't I leaving anymore?" "It didn't work." "They didn't want you." "You're lying." "You backed down." "No, I promise." "Tell me the truth." "This isn't a game for me." "Stop lying to me." "For one, it's cowardly." "And you do it badly." "Promise you won't lie to me anymore?" "I promise." "Then tell me..." "Right now, do you want me?" "You won't answer?" "I want us to do this right." "I want to make you come." "Come here." "If she leaves on Friday," "I want her to remember me when she sees this bracelet." "I knew it was mine before she even gave it to me." "What did you do to your hair?" "It looks good like that." "Since when do you watch that?" "I didn't think I had room for a big sister." "And you play the role of my big sister." "Are you doing it to get stuff?" " I like him a lot." " You're just a piece of ass." "You'll see." " You see yourself with him outside?" " I don't know." "It's far away, I can't make plans." "I don't even know when I'm out, forget about with who." "You're right." "Can't you turn that off?" "It's totally stupid." "You're depressing." "Once more." "Come on, one last time." "Just one last time." "You've said that three times." "After that we can fuck again." ""My lips..." ""refuse passage to the words I seek to frame." ""Some strong power" ""urges me to speak," ""and a stronger one holds me back." ""I call you all to witness," ""O heavenly powers, I do not want that what I wish."" ""You cannot express that which you are eager to tell me?"" ""Common feelings are easy to pronounce," ""while lofty ones remain unspoken."" ""Fear you not," ""O Mother," ""to entrust me with your grief?"" ""Call me 'sister,' dear Hippolytus," ""or rather your slave." ""Yes, slave is better." ""For I will endure servitude."" "Yes, Karine." "Your meeting, sir." "The officers are waiting." "I completely forgot." "Amari, can you manage alone?" "Yes, sir." "They like having fridges in their cells." "They order more." "That's because of our new commissary." "Excuse me, but I have a question about your commissary." "It's all good and well to order large quantities, but there's a cost." "I'm afraid of racketeering." "I think... that being able to buy goods at normal prices should generate a feeling of fairness and actually decrease delinquency in the long run." "Anything else?" "Certain people question the inmate you chose to manage stocks." "Could you explain, Hervé?" "Why didn't you consult the commission?" "It's one afternoon a week." "Besides, she works in maintenance." "You seem to be spending lots of time with her." "People are talking." "You've worked in jails for years, you know the score." "Rumors, rumors, rumors..." "People gossip in closed environments." "You can't stop them." "I'm telling you, the program is a success." "We're the first in France to have developed it." "Let's be happy for once." " Is that all?" " For today, yes." "Have a good day!" "You're still here?" "They couldn't live without me." "You know..." "I called Mona, the fortuneteller." "Oh, yeah." " She's still around?" " Yes, she is." " Why did you call her?" " For you." " For me?" " So she could tell me about you." " I sensed you were hiding something." " So you ask Mona?" "Are you hiding something?" "You're seeing someone!" "You have to leave him." "He's no good for you." "How do you know?" "How do you know what's good for me?" "Why did you come?" " To help you." " Why?" "Mona told me." "Mona doesn't know me, fucking hell!" "You don't know me either!" "Don't come to my home and talk shit!" " This isn't your home." " Shut up!" "Stop talking." "Why did you come?" "You know nothing about me and you dare judge me?" "Since when do you know what's good or bad for me?" " You can't help me!" " Don't say that." "Stop trying to help me!" "Don't shout, they'll come." "I'm here because I want to help you." "Try to understand me." "It's for your own good." "You're messing up." "Believe me, you are." "Come here." "You don't have a clue." "No, you don't!" "Are you blind or what?" "Don't come here, shit." "Stop coming here!" "You have no idea who I am." " Listen to me, I'm your mother!" " Since when?" "Are you proud of yourself when you look at me?" "Are you proud?" "Even when I'm happy, you don't get it." "Even when I'm happy!" "My little girl is like water, she's like a spring of life" "She runs like a stream, that children chase after" "Run along, run along as fast as you can" "Never ever will you catch her" "When the reed pipes sing, when the whitewater dances" "She will take the herds to the land of olive trees..." "Jesus!" "What are you listening to?" "Listen." "Is that your mother?" "My dad and I ruined her life." "That's a lot for one woman." "It's not funny." "What does she do?" "She's a nurse's aide." " In a hospital?" " No, in people's homes." "Old people." "She takes care of her sister too." "What happened?" "She's being nosy." "It's normal." "She's worried, she's your mother." "Only when she feels like it." "Besides, I told her I was doing fine." "I've never been so happy since I've been in jail." "I can't even be happy." "It's nuts." "Do you think it's wrong?" "What?" "Stop it, what are you doing?" "I want a memento." "Why a memento?" "For when you're not there." " Stop it." " You're beautiful." "Can I show you something too?" "Go ahead." "Oh yeah, baby." "You idiot." "Look." "I have one too." "What's that?" "We share it." "We each have our own SIM." "Relax." "Don't you want the number?" "It's not funny." "I'll give it to you." "It's your call." "This is absurd." "There." "You thought only you had one?" "What are you doing?" "Leaving." "For a while too." "It's school vacation." "I have a family, remember?" "We're going to the same place as last year." "You'll play with Mathilde." "You can take ski lessons together." "Answer me!" "Mathilde says she's faster than me." "She has two stars." "Daddy?" " Yes, honey?" " Will you take me to my ski lessons?" "I don't wanna talk to you anymore" " Jean?" "Are you with us?" " Sorry." "Louise asked you a question." "Will you take me to my lessons?" "I'll teach you myself to ski faster than Anna!" "Mathilde." "Who's on cleaning duty?" "My office is filthy." "She's on clay leave." "Then get someone from maintenance." "Amari, for example." "Are you sure, sir?" "Karine!" " Sir, the inmate is here." " Show her in." "Hello." "Thank you." "You can leave." " What the fuck?" "It's over between us." " People will hear you." "I don't give a shit." "I'm not your whore." "Let's not hurt each other." "That's all you do, though." " Don't be silly." " It's the truth." "You don't realize." "You don't have a clue." "You're all I have." "You sit here behind your big desk." "You fill out your little forms." "Then at night you go home." "No." "Don't do that." "Don't do that." " It's super heavy." " Give it to me." "Are you afraid?" "Afraid of what?" "Sometimes I want it all to end, but I can't do it." "I don't even have the strength to fall." "I'm here." "No." "You don't give a shit." "It gets you horny, that's all." " What did she get for Christmas?" " Dolls." "Really?" "My presents were better." "And there's still Grandpa and Grandma's presents." "What are they getting you?" "Playmobil toys." "I gave your letter to Santa." "Goddamn you." "Your mother didn't come." "You can return to your cell." "Wait, wait." "No, not like that." "Are you crazy?" "Wait a sec." "Shit." "Fuck." "You've reached the voicemail of:" ""Jean Firmino."" "Hello." "Thank you." "Why did you do it?" "Why did you come?" "Give me another shot, man." "Make it two." "Thanks." " Stop it!" " Kiss me." "Leave me alone!" "I don't want to kiss you." "Hands off." "She said no!" "Get lost." "What's your problem?" "Are you reassured?" "We'll see each other soon." "Mrs. Amari?" "Hello, I'm the warden..." "I know who you are." "My daughter spoke of you." " How is she?" " Getting her strength back." "Good." "And you?" "You're the one I should be asking." "Go on." "I'll wait here." "Hello." "Sorry, sir, you can't go in." "I came yesterday." "A judicial inquiry was opened." "Prison staff can't go in." "Could you give her this?" "I know she likes chocolate." "Anyone home?" "Elise?" "You'll wake Louise up." " You're back?" " We waited for you at the station." "Oh shit, I'm sorry." " You're sleeping here?" " No, you are." "Nice nose." "Can you tell me what I'm doing here?" "Prison authorities were notified of problems within your center." "What problems?" "Have a seat." "I don't have much time." "What do you want?" "Sit down and let me ask the questions." " Would you like some coffee?" " No, thank you." "Where were you on June 30?" "How should I know?" "That was six months ago." "You'd have to ask my secretary." "Probably at the office or at home." "I don't know." "You didn't go to an inmate's trial?" "Which one?" "You go to court that often?" "It happens." "Like to the hospital?" " Mr. Firmino..." " Major." "Major Firmino." "We received a letter from an ex-inmate who denounced your close relations with another inmate, Miss Amari." "You don't take that seriously?" " That girl is trouble." " You know who I mean?" "She threatened me if I transferred her." "It's not unusual." "During your absence, we opened a preliminary enquiry." "Others have complained too." "A preliminary enquiry?" "Is it true that the inmate holds several jobs in breach of your jail's charter?" "Miss Amari is with the maintenance department." "One afternoon a week she manages stocks." "I don't consider it a fulltime job." "Why didn't you go through the commission for this post?" "She was the only one capable." "We needed someone with a long sentence and who could use Excel." "It's rare." "Do you know Miss Amari's nickname?" ""The warden's pet." Does that mean anything to you?" "Are you aware of rumors?" "If I listened to rumors, I'd have slept with everyone in my jail." "I don't listen to them." "Other than her mother, is she allowed visits?" "Yes." "But I don't know who visits her." "Her private life doesn't interest me." "When we searched her cell, we found a mobile." "Were you aware?" "There are mobiles in jail?" "Wow, that's a scoop!" "Sir, we're not finished." "Call me "Major."." "I run a jail." "I'm in contact with prisoners, not behind a screen." "I rose through the ranks." "Today I'm a major." "If I made it quicker than others, it's because I use authority and psychology." "Other than rumors, you have nothing." "The inmate will be transferred to Fleury-Mérogis before her appeal." "I don't give a damn." "Major." "Your record is excellent." "Don't ruin everything." "Happy Birthday!" "Happy Birthday, Daddy." "Thank you, sweetie." "What's this about?" " It doesn't make you happy?" " And you?" "What about me?" "You're 40 today, not me." "I highlighted ads for you." "You want me to change jobs too?" "No." "I want you to move." "I can't go on pretending." "Either things change or you can pack your bags." "Happy Birthday to you!" "Happy Birthday, clear Jean!" " Hello?" " It's us, we're downstairs." "Oh shit, I completely forgot." "You're kidding, right?" "No, I'm sorry, I..." "I can't today." "What do you mean?" "I have something super important to do." "Come on, Jean!" "Once a week isn't much to ask." "I'll make it up, I promise." "I'm sorry." " What's going on?" " It's coming from the roof!" "Did you like my surprise?" "Yeah, you're nuts." "What got into you?" "It's because you can't come tomorrow?" "It's wiser not to." "Did they hassle you again?" "No, but..." "It's better to be discreet." "That's why you keep calling with my mom's phone?" "Among other things." "Is that why you stopped working too?" "No, that's different." "I took time off." "I was fed up of being in jail without you." "One month is long." "What do you know about time?" "Sorry, I didn't want to say that." "We'll soon be able to see each other." "You'll have permission for day leave after your appeal." "Win you pick me up?" "Of course I will." " I'll be waiting outside the wall." " Without your suit?" "Without my suit." "What would you like to do?" "I'd like to go to the seaside." "The seaside won't be easy." "I don't know then, a nice hotel." "Okay, a hotel." "Not a hotel, a nice hotel." "Not some dump." "I promise." "A nice hotel." "You know, when I feel down..." "I think of our time together." "Even if it was hard, it was cool." "I imagine us on the outside too." "So do I." "You won't forget me?" " How are you today?" " Fine, thanks." "I reserved a room for Firmino." "Firmino?" " What are you looking at?" " You." "Does it bother you?" "That's new." "No, it's different." "I'm no longer your prisoner." "Is something wrong?" "You're not happy here?" "My love?" "Don't call me that." "What's wrong?" " Tell me." " Can't you put something on?" "There." "We've been waiting for this day for a month." "That's why I wanted it to be special." "You don't like it here?" "I don't know." "There's your wife and daughter." "That's my problem, not yours." "Let me talk for once." "In prison, I'm paying my debt." "I'm building a new life." "And this..." "You have very little time left." "When you get out, I'll be there." "That's what matters." "When I get out, I don't want to feel guiltier than when I got there." "You had more clothes on when you got there." "That's not funny." "Sorry." "Where are you going?" "Not far." "Oh, I see." "Already?" "I knew it." " You're abandoning me." " As if." "This is a great start." " You're really leaving?" " I need a light." " So you smoke now?" " Sometimes." "Careful, it's bad for your health." "I'd like a lighter, please." "I'll take a phone card too." " How many minutes?" " Do you have unlimited?" "No." "I'll take this one." "12 euros." "Here, this is for you." "It only has 4 hours, but I can recharge it for you." "Take the chip and give me the card for the number." " You know how to hide it?" " Yeah, I'm used to it." "Thanks." " Daddy?" " Can you open the door?" "You're still in your pajamas?" "This isn't serious." "You're still half-asleep." "This is a nice big hug." "Hurry up and get dressed." "I'm taking you to school." "You still know where it is?" "Can I come in while she gets dressed?" "I brought croissants." "Four minutes." "It's cooking." " I said I'm not hungry." " Please, let me." "I've said it before, stop acting nice." "Stop it, please." "Is it serious?" "I don't know." "It's complicated." "What came over you?" "You know what people call me now?" "It's only rumors." "For others, perhaps." " Do you love her?" " Yes." "You know she'll forget about you once she's out?" " You know that?" " I don't think so." "Oh really?" "What will you do?" "Found a family?" "Tell me, it interests me." "What are your plans?" "Open a pizzeria together?" "I don't know." "I'd like to start painting again." "You're ridiculous with your painting." "You've never been a painter." "You're not an artist." "I've had it with your stupid complex." "Your dad was a mechanic and you run a prison." "You have a wife and daughter who love you." "That's not enough?" "What more do you need?" "Some young girl to make you feel strong?" "Is that your work of art?" "You're pathetic." "I'm ready." "Louise, wait for your father in the hallway." "Wake up, please." "Wake up." "I won't wait for you forever." "Let's go, sweetie." "Take your schoolbag." "Who is this?" "Is Jean there?" "No, Jean is taking his daughter to school." "Who's calling?" "Haven't you done enough damage?" "Life would be better without me?" "Yes, much better." "For everyone, including yourself." "What'll you do?" "I don't know." "You should go see someone." "You have to tell them." "Trust me." "Go to the infirmary." "Why don't you want to?" "Are you doing this to protect him?" "He could lose everything." "What about you?" "You have nothing to lose?" "I can't do it to him." "He has a career, a family." "He could've thought of that before." "It's not his fault." "Then whose fault is it?" "You didn't get pregnant alone." "Where is he now to sort things out?" "He doesn't even know." "You have to go to the infirmary." "The doctors won't talk." "Besides... how would they even know he's the father?" "Because there's no one else." "You're the only one who knows." "Everyone knows why I came back here." "You don't have any boyfriends who visit you?" "When you left on clay leave, you could've seen anyone." "If you won't do it for yourself, do it for your child." "Do you want to keep it?" "I don't know." "I just wanted a family." "I never wanted to steal his." "Hello, Karine." "I decided to come back early." " Were you on vacation?" " No, not really." "You look very rested!" "Thank you." "I can't get a hold of you." "I forgot my phone, so if you're trying to reach me..." " One moment!" " Sir..." "Mr. Firmino?" " What's this?" " I'm taking you into custody." "Who me?" "You can't do this." " Not here." " Sir..." "What's going on?" "Search the office." "Hi, it's me." "I can't get a hold of you." "I forgot my phone, so if you're trying to reach me..." "One moment!" "Goodbye, I love you." "Take off your pants." "Turn around." "Pull down your shorts." "That's good." "You can pull them up." "Mr. Firmino... four months ago, the penitentiary asked us to open an enquiry to investigate into the nature of your relations with a certain inmate," "Anna Amari." "A relationship which, according to prison authorities, could compromise the security of your detention center." "You continue to deny relations with her?" "We have a listing of phone calls." "You recognize the number?" "That's surprising, because you bought the card." "We have the photo." "Mr. Firmino... do you want to keep your job?" "Just tell me the truth." " She manipulated you?" " Excuse me?" "Admit it, she used you." "You won't be convicted." "Any warnings will be kept confidential." "It's not my business." "What are you talking about?" "It's your only chance." "It's not what you think." "She's in love, huh?" "Be quiet." " You don't know her." " Enough to have an opinion." "Me too." "Well, the examining magistrate will decide for himself." "You gave a phone card to an inmate with whom you had intimate relations." "You'll be charged with complicity, an offence punishable by three years in prison." "While awaiting trial, you will be on probation and must have no contact with Miss Amari." "This shouldn't be hard because she's returning to jail." "It's a pity, she was eligible for discharge." "What're you doing here?" "I knew you were on clay leave." "You can't be here." "No one saw me." " There are cops all over." " Come on, get in." "What's wrong with you?" "Do you hear me?" "Look at me." " We don't have the right." " Who cares?" " Think of me at least." " Come here." "I love you." "Please go." "Why?" "I can't go on." " I have to go." " Who's he?" "A friend, I told you about him." " Where're you going?" " Nowhere." " I'll drive you." " No, I'd rather not." " Who's that?" " No one." "Why are you doing this?" "Why?" "What did I do to you?" "I gave up everything for you!" "Leave her alone." "You've thought it over carefully?" "You're sure?" "Please take this medication." "Here." "One year later" "It's like we agreed, okay?" "She manipulated you." "Rig ht?" "It's the only possible solution." "The session is open." "Please be seated." "We are gathered here today to rule on the Firmino" " Amari case."
