He's dead.

I killed him.

I'll hand myself in.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

VOTED

This is the first time I've ever written a poem for a girl.

"Without you I spin like a vane in the wind"

But I still have the desert rose you left behind

With a mysterious glance

Beyond this town, beyond this horizon

I know what you are

You are my reason to live My only hope

"I love you, Julia"

- Where were you? - I can have fun, can't I?

This place bores me.

- I'll help you... - No.

You stick to your election. You'll need to.

You're not used to coming second.

You know Lucas overtook you?

Good night, ex-Mayor.

How's it going?

- Okay? - Fine.

Sit down.

Lucas, here's the deal.

Our friend here has money from coke.

He can't spend it. It would be too conspicuous.

He wants to launder it in a restaurant.

- Right? - Exactly.

- And you have a criminal record? - Yeah.

So you can't buy a place, unless you forgo the drinks license.

But a restaurant without alcohol is suspicious.

I told him I could find somebody to buy it for him.

- But I'll need a banker. - We can fix that.

What will you give me in return?

Taro, on a plate.

And?

That's the mayor's driver.

A cokehead driver won't bring down the mayor.

No, but we can spread the rumor that he's buying for the mayor.

If we prove it, he'll lose 2,000 votes.

If not, he'll still lose 1,000. It's fine.

Either way, it slows him down.

And this is going to be a close call.

Get me a banker and a fall guy, and I'll give you the photos.

- I'll take care of the banker. - I'll find the fall guy, or fall girl.

Okay? You can go.

Gentlemen.

Thank you.

Here's to your father's defeat.

What is it? What's wrong?

What happened?

I...

I lost my boyfriend.

Did he break it off, or did you?

Maybe you can work it out. Right?

Before you were born, your father and I...

we broke up once, and then...

you came along...

and it... well, it brought us together again.

Before you went to Canada we always came here. It was our Thursday ritual.

Rituals are good. They're little... pieces of memory.

I'll really miss this.

Mom, you have to stop drinking.

Dad and I are here for you. We always will be.

You're taking his side, I can see it.

And I have to make...

a new life, without you, without him or the cello...

Mom, look at me.

My boyfriend is dead.

He's dead.

No!

How, my love? How is that possible?

No.

- Allahu Akbar. - Allahu Akbar.

Marseille Sporting Club and its manager back Lucas Barrès

Property tycoon in the Côte d'Azur

...suspected of belonging to the mafia

Organized crime

cocaine trafficking

racketeering

...Ange Cosini for the excellent work he's doing here.

Ange, thank you for inviting me.

Without Lucas Barrès...

our club wouldn't exist.

There's no time to waste. We need a solution. Hélène?

A TV debate between the two favorites, before round two.

- Chaired by whom? - Gérard Piretti.

- No. - Piretti is good, Dad.

Piretti isn't the problem. Barrès is.

I won't debate with him.

You will, and you'll beat him. Barrès is a fucking idiot.

Okay?

One of your bill posters died yesterday.

- I know. - He was a friend of mine.

- How's it linked to Barrès? - The violence is his fault.

He's friends with Cosini's thugs.

I'll go to Félix Pyat and pay my respects.

Good idea.

But we really need this debate to win back some points.

We'll agree to the debate. What date?

Wednesday or Thursday.

If we say Wednesday, that gives the loser too much time to recover.

- Let's say Thursday. - Okay.

What if you're the loser?

- How's that? - How is what?

How can I lose?

The lists must be complete by 4 p.m. tomorrow.

I have 12 meetings.

- I've got 17. - Where's Chasseron?

You won't regret switching sides.

- Come in, Robert. - Duprez.

- How are you? - Good.

A meeting in a hotel?

It's a trick I learned from Marjorie when he was in opposition.

Sit down.

It wasn't here the last time.

The hotel was more modest.

Yes!

Things change.

Or maybe they evolve.

During the war it was riverbanks,

and public parks.

Actually, Barrès suggested

he and I took a walk along the River Arc in Aix.

- You like dead ends? - No, and I told him I was with you.

You'll have to check all that.

We only have today.

The lists are due in tomorrow,

but we have to be there tonight, before the others.

The first to shoot wins.

Which district are you struggling with?

- District three. - District three.

Ramani will never step down.

- What if you deliver your list late? - It will be invalid.

Works for me.

Now, Audrey Blanchard...

My dear Shaima!

- Have a drink? - No, thanks.

- You wanted to see me? - I missed you.

That's what my husband said after we separated.

- You never had children? - No.

I respect women who don't have children.

It's brave, and even braver to say so.

- And you stand by it? - No, not at all.

A tumor stopped me from having children.

- Oh, shit! - That's what I said after the operation.

What's this about?

Okay, let's dispense with the tact.

Might as well. You got off to a good start.

Barrès wants you to join him.

You've got nerve! So you're on his side now?

We have an agreement.

I know that... you like the environment.

If you support Barrès,

you could be departmental vice president,

in charge of the environment and public spaces.

If you don't make City Hall, it's something.

You're worse than a vulture, Chasseron.

You'll feed off anything, just like a pig.

My dear Shaima,

when you have a little more experience,

you'll learn that politicians are never loyal.

Politicians like you. That's why we want you gone.

Tell me, when you look at your face in the mirror,

can't you see it getting slapped by both Taro and Barrès?

You admire women who don't have children?

I admire men who have some balls.

In other words, principles.

- Can I drop you somewhere? - Yes. City Hall, please.

Thanks.

I'm going to see Dad.

Why won't you take Lucas' side?

That's a strange question.

He's always been close. He's like family.

Yes, maybe too close.

We never saw what a filthy traitor he was.

He betrays everyone, Mom.

- Especially women. - Not me.

He just wants to take control of his life, like your father did.

That's politics, Julia.

I'm sick of you accusing Lucas...

Dad never betrayed anybody, even in politics.

- You know that's not the problem. - Oh, it is.

That's your father's only problem. Lucas.

It's becoming yours too.

You know what my life has become?

A blank stave.

Listen, Guénelon,

I don't give a fuck about your party's management committee.

If we don't get answers now, we won't be first tonight.

You know what that means? The first to arrive gains four points!

So deal with it,

or I'll beat your ass into the middle of next week.

Understand?

Hi, Ange?

The journalists and TV cameras are all outside Marco's.

- We should do it here. - No, I'm not allowed to use City Hall.

Hello?

See you at 8:03 p.m.

It's 7:57 now.
