Hi, it's me. I was wondering how you were.

Give me a call when you can. Love you. It's Mum.

Message received Tuesday 22nd.

It's Michel. You back yet? I'm alone. We can get together.

Message received Wednesday 23rd at 7 a.m.

Yeah, it's Caroline. You should be back by now.

The ER is swamped today. Hope you remember.

Call if you can't make it.

Message received yesterday at 6:56 p.m.

Hi, it's Mum again. You must have got back days ago.

I'd love to hear your voice, so I don't worry.

Just give your old mother a reassuring buzz.

They say, "No news is good news," but...

Anyway, I won't pester you. Lots of love. Talk to you soon.

Hello.

Anna Cooper. Leave me a message.

Mrs Cooper! Long time no see. I was starting to worry.

I just extended my trip.

I'm expected at the hospital. Have a nice day.

- Hi. - What are you doing here?

- I came to work. - It's about time.

I left you a ton of messages. I expected you a week ago.

I couldn't warn you. But I'm here now.

Well, I don't need you today.

You're really out of it. What's with you?

Sorry.

- Will you be here tomorrow? - For sure.

How was your holiday?

- Great. - Lucky you!

Mum?

Darling, how are you?

OK.

And your holiday? When did you get back?

I got in late last night.

I should've called but it was complicated.

Anyway, it was great.

The beach was beautiful. Deserted.

Were you alone?

Darling, you decided not to have kids.

You don't have to give up men, too.

I can't bear the thought of you being unhappy.

Don't worry, Mum.

I'm sorry I wasn't here but I... In fact...

- In fact, I had no choice... - Hold on, the doorbell.

Darling, Simone stopped by for tea. Can I call you back?

She sends you a hug. She'd love to see you.

Hug her back. Call me whenever.

- OK, I love you. - Me, too.

Bye-bye.

- Medical Offices. - This is Dr Anna Cooper.

I'd like to speak to Dr Schwartzberg.

- Psychologist or osteopath? - Psychologist.

To make an appointment?

No.

I need to speak to him. It's urgent.

- He's out today. Can I take a message? - Never mind.

May I speak to Michel, please?

He's at a symposium in Finland.

But my mum's here.

No, that's OK. Thanks.

I'd like to register a complaint for abduction and detainment.

OK. I'll call an officer. Have a seat.

I have a deposition for Officer Vecker.

Yes?

Hello, criminal investigation officer Bruno Vecker.

Let's go into a quieter office.

- Would you like some coffee? - Some water, please.

Coffee and water.

Pardon me.

Your name, address, and profession?

Anna Cooper,

22 rue Portalis, in the 8th district.

- Your profession? - Surgeon, ob-gyn

at Georges Brassens Hospital.

OK...

Do you have any idea who the perpetrators were?

Yes.

You know their identities?

His identity, yes.

OK. Can you tell me, as precisely as possible, what happened?

It was June 9th.

I got home late, I was in ER.

Around midnight.

Keep quiet!

Don't move or I'll cut you.

Hands behind your back.

We're going out.

Don't move.

Your watch.

Your belt, too.

Excuse me, I...

Can I say something?

I think you've made a mistake. I don't know why I'm here.

I haven't done anything. I'm a doctor. If you want a ransom...

I'm not the right person.

People will worry if I'm gone.

People?

My husband. I have to contact him.

What's his number?

- My husband? - Yeah.

O6 O7 72...

Don't do this...

Stop it!

You've got no husband. I know you're on holiday.

What've you got? Friends?

No!

You're all alone.

Nobody will look for you. Forget it!

I forgot to bring you anything to drink.

No...

This morning,

I did bring you coffee, right?

I want some water.

You want some water?

I'm so clumsy!

I guess you can't be clumsy, can you?

If you don't like shawarma, you can fuck off!

I really like seeing you like this.

Scared.

It's kind of a change.

OK...

Lights out!

Shit!

You done?

I wanna hurt you.

But I don't know how.

I wanna break you.

You ruined my life, now I'll destroy yours.

I'm gonna make you suffer. I'm gonna kill you.

Then I'll kill myself, too.

I don't know who you are. I treat lots of people.

I can't remember everyone.

- You save people, huh? - I try to help them.

That would've been good.

It's disgusting. I'm not hungry.

What's the plan here?

You on a hunger strike now?

Think that'll change anything?

If you kill yourself, that's fine with me.

That rings a bell for me.

Not you?

Enough! I'm hungry.

"I'm hungry"?

I'm fucking hungry!

My name's Yann Ochberg.

We met two years ago.

It'll come back to you.

The court determined that there was no medical malpractice.

Listen, no operation is 100% risk free.

They usually go smoothly. But sometimes accidents happen.

And people die.

Every year, 700,000 people contract

hospital-acquired infections in France.

That's 7% of all patients, 4,000 die after minor operations.

In ob-gyn, it's only 0.9%.

I don't understand that kind of talk.

I did my best.

I help people by operating on them.

After that,

it's not my responsibility. Go to a priest

or a shrink or whoever.

I'll never know if it was your fault or not.

But you're the one who's gonna pay.

I understand that you want vengeance.

I take responsibility.

It's too late for that.

Drop it. I know you don't give a damn.

I could have forgiven you but you didn't even come to the trial.

That I can't forgive.

On a human level, you're piece of shit.

And you want to make me better?

I just wanna be able to cope. I don't give a fuck about you.

So what do we do now?

We wait.

We do nothing at all. We wait.

What's that disgusting smell?

It's inhuman to live with that smell.

You shouldn't let yourself go.

Get your bucket.

To the right.

I need some clothes.

You should've brought a suitcase.

No more rice and pasta.

Bring me something fresh. A salad.

An apple would be perfect.

Here's a change of clothes. They're mine.

So that won't be perfect.

You were right, you look terrible.

I don't understand what you want.

I was wrong, I should have been more sensitive.

But you can't keep me here. It serves no purpose.

I can't let you go.

It's too late.

Leave me alone. I'm tired.

How about a beer? We can toast!
