A French Village (Un village français)

Please, think of the children.

Did you think of the children?

Did you think of it when you ruined everything?

Laurin... Laurin. Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me.

It's my fault. If you have to shoot someone, that's me.

I felt lonely... you were far away...

And let's admit it. When you left, things were not going well between us.

- You know it. - They weren't that bad.

What's done is done, we can't change it. Think about the future, now.

The future...

Do you want to be thrown in prison for the rest of your life?

Or worse?

Laurin, I made a mistake.

I hurt you.

I am willing to do anything to make things right. Anything.

I will go where you want.

I will do what you want.

But put down the rifle.

Put it down.

And I should let him go like that!

Leaving me in the shit.

Get up! What are you doing?

Shut up!

Come on!

Shut up! Move away!

I'll slit your throat! If you move I'll slit your throat like a pig!

Like a pig.

The coup de grâce.

I am here, sir.

I am here, sir and if you calm down, I am ready to talk to you.

Did you notify the police station?

I did not expect your arrival, so I called Headquarters.

Headquarters?

Mrs. Estabet, Mrs. Girardet, do you think you will really improve things by doing this?

Even today, three hours in line at the dairy for nothing!

Yesterday the same for shoes. I am willing to wait too, but for something!

It has been weeks that we have had nothing to eat. That is not possible.

Normally, butter and milk should arrive on Monday.

You know that this does not depend on us. The Germans control almost everything.

Nothing can be done with the Germans. But the supply service is a swindle...

You know that very well, Mr. Mayor.

Listen, we are all in the same boat.

That is not true. Those who have relatives in the countryside do very well.

Whoever has money finds everything on the black market, the others nothing.

Mrs. Estabet!

Mr. Mayor, look me in the eyes. Do you never eat ham or chicken?

And when was the last time you saw real butter?

Because for me it was 9 months ago.

But things are never that simple, Mrs. Estabet.

I am a doctor, I earn much more than you with your sewing.

Before the war it was the same: I ate and dressed better than you...

It is the order of things. One cannot change that with the Germans on one's back.

They are not on your back, Mr. Mayor. You do not even realize it.

So what do you want me to do? Concretely.

Please.

Please I Do Something. I Do Something.

Curfew very early. Women leave immediately.

Stop disorder.

Let me speak with them, Please .

- Madam? Good evening. - Sir.

Oh, no. Don't tell me you are back for your son's foolishness this afternoon!

- Have you seen the time? - It is precisely the hour that worries me.

My husband has not come back. I have no news.

Perhaps he was delayed... by a subcontractor.

He may not be an example of virtue, agreed. But I know him. Raymond lies but does not disappear.

He is two hours late. No news at the sawmill...

I am sure something happened to him.

Listen, calm down. Go back home.

The curfew has already started. If I know something, I will call you back.

Let's go.

I will take care of it.

- Will you keep me informed? - Yes, I promise you.

I am your wife.

Before God.

I told you. I will do everything you want.

Why should I believe you?

And if you do not believe me, shoot. At least we'll put an end to it.

We could go to cousin Robert.

He has land abandoned for years.

He will rent it to me. He owes me a favor.

In Sayolle?

No, toward Poligny.

Near the sand quarries.

But it is dry down there, no?

Like everywhere. We must face it.

As you wish.

Regarding the children... when do we pick them up?

Let us settle first. Then we will go pick them up from mother.

What do we do with Schwartz?

What do you want to do, Laurin?

We leave. We forget. We will not be able to do anything if you do not try to forget.

There is no question of letting him leave like that.

Infamy must be marked.

So that he remembers... forever.

A bullet in the knee... or a well-placed hammer blow remains.

May he limp for his whole life.

Yes, that's right. A cripple does not run after skirts, eh?

You're hurting me!

I'm hurting too.

There are two of us.

- It's time, pig. - Wait, that's enough, Laurin. Free me!

- Let's settle this like men. - Like men?

But a man does not sleep with the wife of his tenant farmer who is at war, Mr. Schwartz.

A man doesn't do such things.

- What did you do to Marie? - Don't worry about her.

- What do you want, money? - Money, yes.

What are you doing? What are you doing, Laurin. What are you doing?

- Oh, stop it, Laurin! - Shut your mouth.

How much would you pay? I am your example...

Ah... Enough!

You are completely crazy. Stop. Stop, Laurin!

- How much? - Are you enjoying yourself? Are you crazy or what?

You haven't told me how much you would pay to buy my reputation, eh? How much?

How much would you be willing to pay, tell me.

Laurin. Laurin. Laurin. Laurin. Enough!

How much would you be willing to pay, eh?

Do you remember the last pig we slaughtered together?

With Marie, eh? You wanted to help me...

Do you remember?

How you laughed afterwards, eh?

The bucket. Very important, the bucket.

You see... you mustn't lose the blood.

When you're a child, that's the first thing they teach you.

Never lose the blood.

- The jugular is opened... - No!

Laurin. Don't do anything foolish.

- Pig blood runs everywhere. - Laurin, I beg you.

Lieutenant, you are the only one who got a good look at that waitress.

I'm telling you I barely saw her.

And I don't believe you!

You were coming from the Personnel Office, and the woman was leaving Spitzer's office...

You were face to face for 7, 8 seconds.

- I didn't count them. - I did, 7 or 8 seconds.

Enough to see a woman's face!

Yes... maybe...

Lieutenant,

this woman committed an act of military espionage under your nose!

It is your duty to tell us everything you know!

Think about your career...

Do you know this woman, yes or no?

Maybe I've seen her before

at the Hotel de la Pompe... at Madame Bert he's...

So...

She's one of the girls...

Dear!

It's me.

I'm coming from a crisis situation at the town hall.

Mothers of families who can no longer make it to the end of the month.

Ah, good.

You were tough on the port.

There's more in the cellar, right?

No.

All right, Maria will find it without any problems.

Certainly.

What are you reading?

A letter.

From whom?

From Jean.

Won't you ask me what he's writing to me?

Hortense, my love,

every day without you is torture

- I still don't know when I'll be able to return... - Enough!

- But I already know that this will be a... - Enough!

I will never forgive you for the way you sent him away.

You will never forgive me... The world is upside down.

Using your power in this way.

- A man doesn't behave like that. - Ah?

And... what should a man do in such cases?

Tell me.

- It's never too late to learn. - Leave me alone.

What are you going to do with him?

That's none of your business, Mr. Schwartz.

And if you want some good advice, forget everything you saw here.

Go. Return home now.

Why would you trust me?

First of all because I just saved your life.

And besides because I have no choice.

- Is that enough for you? - Yes.

In any case, there's nothing left keeping me here.

Everything will be fine, Marie.

Will her hand heal?

The bullet went through it. It's bleeding a lot but it's not that serious.

What do we do now?

I don't know anything about it.

In any case, first of all, I must return to Villeneuve.

Judith is trying to translate Natacha's texts.

I'll return tomorrow morning, we'll see what needs to be done.

Marie, he must not move from here. Understood?

See you tomorrow.

I was worried sick. Where were you?

But what happened?

Pour me a little drink, please.

- There's only Cointreau, is that okay? - Yes.

I was so anxious that I went to the police.

Did they call you?

I was at the farm with Marie.

I told her it's over.

I told him that I have a son,
