Kaboul Kitchen

"Yes!"

- Kabul Kitchen, hello? - "Mrs. Sophie Robert?"

- Yes? - "This is the Tupchi police station"

We're calling you because we have Jacky Robert...

You're wrong, he died four months ago, goodbye, sir

- Who was it? - Nobody

Oh, okay, shall we finish this up or...

- Yes? - "Mrs. Robert"

just to tell you that we know your father is officially dead

but we do have a certain Jacky Robert

who has a passport of the same name

He says he isn't dead and that you have to come get him

"He'll explain it all"

"He also says that a guy called Habib can take care of the bar"

"in your absence"

"Mrs. Robert?"

"Well, you are not as you seem"

"You, my dear, you are a dream"

"Just like those films we've never seen"

"Where the blues, they... they change to green"

"And your eyes turn over like scenes"

"The pages in a magazine"

"Faces of Ben Vereen"

"The history of French cuisine"

"I am Jacky"

- Hello, I am Sophie Robert - The deceased's daughter?

Yes

Abed! Get me Jacky Robert

"Go get me Jacky Robert right now!"

My Sophie

Get me out of here Your father is alive

I ran into him two days ago

Sophie! Sophie!

To tell you the truth, we haven't been on good terms lately

and I foolishly forgot to tell her that I was coming

So, naturally...

This is for any inconvenience we caused

Yes, I insist, that's the minimum I can do

Passport... here we go

Help her out now, okay?

Michel Caulaincourt Nice to meet you

Your passport!

Yes

Are you kidding me? Whom did you steal it from?

Nobody, I didn't steal anything

I exchanged mine with your father's at Mazar-E-Charif

Stop it right now, enough with your nonsense

My father died four months ago

Exactly, he could have warned me

because walking around with a dead man's passport...

that isn't the best idea one would get, but if I had known...

Okay, fine, leave You wanted out, so you're out

Goodbye

It isn't smart to drive in the state that you're in

How far along are you? Six? Eight weeks?

- How do you know? - It's mostly due to your hue

A bit of anemia, nothing too serious, but...

You shouldn't cause yourself another vagal discomfort

at the wheel

It's a fungus that attacks poppy

We should remove it all or else it will spread

You tell your father that I did my job well, right?

Damn it! My father!

Damn!

It's beautiful, right?

It's small but beautiful

I thought we'd never do it

Gentlemen, this is the first official field of the program

"Roses against Opium"

- It's magical, right? - It's magical now?

No, because when I hired you at the committee

you found it surreal and completely impossible

Well, yes, yes, yes Yes, Victor, yes, yes

Well, the poppy here is a cultural thing

We shouldn't dream It won't be very easy

- Come on, Axel, let's go - "Axel!"

- Axel! Ax... - What? What is it?

- Come! He goes out today! - Really? Are you sure?

Yes, I'm telling you! Come on!

His father-in-law is getting out of jail... today

Who is his father-in-law?

Colonel Amanullah, the biggest drug trafficker in the region

Oh, yeah

Dad!

My children! Give me the good news

Is there a little Amanullah bun in the oven?

You know, Colonel we were very busy...

I know, I know, that's good

but it isn't by preparing small bouquets of roses

that you can make babies

Axel... tell me, son are your sperms fragile?

- Not at all, no, no - We need to go back, Dad

- Wait. How is Sophie? - She's good

- She is... she is strong, yes - Come, my daughter, come

And you, Axel, you'll walk

Why should I walk?

Because it's good for a man's health, that's why

Here we go again

It's charming here, don't you have a room for rent by any chance?

- It isn't a hotel around here - No, I know

but Jacky told me we might come to an arrangement

- What? - You met my father two days ago

How do you explain that he hasn't called me yet?

Sophie, you don't understand what happened

He had to escape and go out to the open

This is why he can't contact you you see

Since there isn't any vacant room

would you refuse to offer me a drink?

Okay, one drink, and no mention of any of this to anyone

- And keep quiet about... - Your pregnancy?

Oh, yes, doesn't your boyfriend know about it?

He isn't my boyfriend, and no he doesn't know

Damn, did you check the time?

You should have come back before noon

Is that the future daddy?

I had something shitty to take care of

Michel Caulaincourt Nice to meet you

I'm an old friend of Jacky's

Congratulations for the both of you

I mean this place... It's great

It's wonderful

Jacky told me about it but I thought he was exaggerating

But in fact, he wasn't at all

Would it bother you if I go on the terrace?

Can you please get me some sparkling water...

really chilled?

Thank you

There you go, as I told you

I had something shitty to take care of

Yes...

It's weird, right?

You leave a place for a few months then you come back

and everything seems smaller to you

We missed you, Dad

My daughter, you know, I did a lot of thinking in jail

and it's time to start a new life

But how, Dad? The CIA burns our convoy

they poison our harvests and help the other warlords

Nobody wants our opium anymore

One day, a warden said to me

"If you want to find Spring search for the next year"

And he was right

- So what are we going to do? - I changed, Lala

I look at the world with new eyes I am the same, but better

I have big projects, but we will talk about them at an opportune time

Now, I'll lay under the tree

The CIA didn't burn the trees at least, yes?

No

You'll see, everything will work out

- Sophie? - Yes?

- Can I talk to you? - No, not now

Who is this guy?

Shit! Yes, Axel?

Yes, listen, just to tell you

that Amanullah was released from jail today

Really? Okay, yes Thank you, Axel

Yes, perfect

I have to talk to you

Cool

This guy says that my father is alive

He met him at Mazar-E-Charif

and they had exchanged passports

- And you believe him? - I don't know

I know he isn't here anymore but I...

What if he isn't dead?

What if he did all this just to escape Amanullah?

Wait, Axel told me that Amanullah was released from jail

Damn, he is the last person I'd like to see

What should I do? What should we do?

It's the delivery guys

They're asking if we're going to pay them

Damn, the delivery guys I had forgotten about them

- What? - I had 2000 dollars

You lost 2000 dollars?

It must have happened at the police station when I fainted

The bastard!

You fainted?

Alright, I borrowed 2000 dollars from you

but I had to get us out of there

So let's suppose that my father is still alive

and that he needs your passport to leave the country

I say, "let's suppose" but you...

why did you exchange the passports?

Well, I have some financial trouble at the moment

In a nutshell, Jacky offered me 5000 dollars that he didn't have

He didn't have the money on him

all this in exchange of my passport

So he told me to come get it back here

We helped each other if you want...

- Do you know what I believe? - No

I believe that you are nothing but a crook

who is trying to take advantage of our hospitality

- Really? - Yes

- Me? - Yes

And I find this disgusting to bring up the dead for this

Alright, okay, in this case

I won't take advantage of your hospitality any longer

Personally, I was expecting another welcome

a little more...

I expected a warmer welcome but alright
