The Returned (Les Revenants)

Here, Camille.

Your answers should be short and clear.

Due on Tuesday.

Tuesday?

– We already have a math test! – You had plenty of time for that.

TODAY

Sorry, it doesn't work sometimes.

– I'll see you next week. – Sure.

Léna.

Your dad just went to see Lucy again?

Isn't it the third time this week?

You're a dick. – Just saying.

We will start in a few minutes,

but first, I believe…

Sandrine would like to tell us something.

Well…

Yan and I,

we thought you should know that we are going to have a baby.

It's been hard,

but we wanted to tell you,

and thank all of you.

And thank Pierre.

I think that…

these meetings have really helped us since the accident.

It's mostly thanks to you if we could…

I wouldn't say get closure, but at least…

get on with our lives, move on.

And now, this happened.

And…

Life is stronger.

It's such a gift. It's wonderful.

You give us a gift, Sandrine.

You too, Yan.

It looks like a blackout.

– Here we go. – So, as I was saying…

As you can see, the memorial is shaped like a ring.

It will be smelted on Monday, and we will install it

by the end of the week, for the commemoration.

There are 38 niches, one for each student.

Does anybody have any questions?

– Jérôme? – Did it cost a lot of money?

Because honestly, it's quite hideous.

You think it's good?

You like it?

If you like it, that's all that matters.

– Never mind. – You already told us

what you thought when we decided to build the stele.

We listened to you, then we voted. Maybe we can move on.

At the time, I said it was pointless.

Now, I say it's hideous. It's different.

Look, we've had enough of your sarcasms.

If you think this is ridiculous, you don't have to be here.

I'm here, because it makes me feel better.

Actually.

It makes me feel great, just like all of you.

Maybe I'll get wonderful gifts from life too.

Léna?

I know I'm so late. You must have been worried to death.

It's not my fault. Something weird happened.

Please don't stare at me.

It seems crazy,

but I ended up in the mountain over the dam.

It took me an hour to get home.

Believe me, Mom. I'm telling the truth.

I'm starving.

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

Is Léna home?

She's at a friend's house.

That's ugly.

I'll clean up later.

Can you bring me my bathrobe?

Thank you.

Then there's the picnic, and then…

the kids' performance around 2 pm.

This is Pierre's voice-mail. Please leave a message.

It's Claire.

Can you please come over?

10:30 sounds good.

Maybe we should give the kids some time to rehearse.

– No one told me about that. – Mrs. Durand asked.

That's my suggestion, because, actually…

It's Claire. You need to come over right now.

What's going on? It's about Léna?

It's about Camille.

What? – I'm begging you.

I'm on my way.

Mr. Costa?

I'm listening.

Where does it hurt exactly?

Your heart is pounding?

I can give you an injection.

I'll be there.

– When will you be here? – Well, I don't live next door.

I need you now.

I can't be any faster.

– You're leaving now? – I'll be quick.

In the meantime, lie down and try to relax.

– I'm waiting for you, Julie. – I'll be right there.

Who were you calling?

Can you let me in?

The code has been changed?

No.

Good night.

She's not there.

She has just left.

– When will she be back? – No idea. I'm not her secretary.

Did you have an appointment?

Just kidding.

Julie's love life's none of my business.

I'm busy enough with my own.

Julie?

You didn't come for her?

Then who are you looking for?

Adèle.

Adèle Werther.

Never heard of her. You sure she lives here?

Of course I'm sure.

I'm coming, sweetie.

I have to go.

Good luck with Adèle.

Come in.

Why did you call me?

You'd better come in.

Camille is home.

She's taking a bath.

You want to see her?

Listen.

Léna?

No, it's me.

What the hell?

Get out, Dad!

She doesn't remember anything.

Neither the accident nor…

She just remembers the school trip.

It can't be.

I know it can't be, but she is here.

– There must be an explanation. – You think I'm crazy?

Then you are crazy too. You saw her, right?

Look.

Look at her.

Is there a problem?

What the hell are you doing?

Are you smoking, Dad?

Did Mom tell you about me? It's kind of creepy, right?

Like some kind of coma or something neurological.

Maybe I should see a doctor.

Are you all right, now?

Well, yeah.

But you're the ones who don't look so good.

And where's Léna?

I told you, she's at a friend's house.

Who?

I can't remember.

Who are you calling?

Frédéric.

I lost my cellphone.

It's late. He might be sleeping.

Faster! Faster!

That's your mom. Should I get it?

Hell no. Screw her!

Léna, your turn.

I'm exhausted. Good night.

Drink! Drink!

Come on!

– You give up? – Over my dead body.

Lucy, another round, please.

I need to pee.

You're OK?

– You can't throw up. – I'm not a rookie.

There you go.

It's done.

You look really nervous. Are you gonna be OK?

You're not alone? – I am.

Really? What was that noise?

I'm telling you, there's nobody.

All right.

I don't mean to pry,

but you know you can talk to me.

I know.

Are you sure?

Thank you. See you next week.

Good night, Mr. Costa.

I was starving.

Excuse me.

Where's Adèle?

– I don't know her. – She's a waitress here.

I'd know if there was an Adèle working here.

I know a girl named Adèle.

There can't be 15,000 of them.

Tall, brown hair, green eyes, working at the media library…

But she doesn't work there. Adèle Werther.

Whatever, I just know where she lives.

It's not far.

If you buy me a drink, I'll show you.

You're drunk already.

No, I'm not.

Come on.

Excuse me.

– What would you like? – A beer.
