Furies

Justice doesn't exist in the underworld.

The Fury doesn't serve justice.

She punishes.

The only law in the underworld is the law of retaliation.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

And the whole body for a betrayal.

He who disobeys, pays his pound of flesh.

A criminal lives and dies for honor.

And there's nothing honorable about being in a cage.

Imprisonment is the weapon of the weak.

A weapon unworthy of the underworld.

Better death than prison.

Yet, it was to the confines of a cell that Selma condemned her brother.

Locked away in here for 20 years, in secret.

Will he recognize me?

Will he even want to see me?

What will I say to him?

Something like…

Hello.

I'm Lyna.

Your daughter.

Hello, my love.

-Do you want to-- -You want--

-Go on, I-- -Oh no--

It's not easy, huh?

What's the best way to get to know each other?

Asking, uh, "What's your absolute favorite meal?"

"Favorite soccer team?"

"Favorite ice cream flavor?"

Pizza, PSG, pistachio. The three Ps.

Same here.

Like father, like daughter.

And, um,

I had… I had a bunch of questions, but my mind is just…

We'll take our time.

Lots of catching up, right?

Mm.

You were as tall as that stool last time we met.

I haven't grown much since, apparently.

No, but you've changed.

You look a lot like your mom.

Forgive me.

I've been here for too damn long.

-Forgot how to be human. -Mm.

-I got carried away. -Huh.

I sent a photo to the Guerrabs'.

To me, really?

The last one I had.

They never mentioned?

I can't be mad at them.

I can.

The way you just tilted your head,

its oval shape,

even that little mole on your nose.

That's her.

All of it.

Except for that.

Even as a kid, you were a daredevil. You had to fall down to see if it hurt.

But you'd always get up again.

Tell me about you.

I show up here with a bunch of things to tell you

so you'll know who I am, you know?

Turns out I don't even know where to begin. It's so stupid.

From the beginning, my love.

Tell me what you did last week. We'll see where it takes us.

Oh man, last week?

It wasn't the best.

7 DAYS EARLIER

Dating a cop? Really?

Your grandma woulda had a heart attack.

Yeah, Selma also wasn't happy about it.

Did she let him live?

Mm-hmm.

What was he doing in jail? He's not a dirty cop, is he?

No.

Mm, he's in trouble because he fell in love with me.

Men close to The Fury always have a bit of a hard time, you know?

But I tried to protect Elie.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? FOR HIM TO GET STABBED, BITCH?

Thomas?

Thomas, I'm home.

Okay, okay, don't yell. I'm here, I'm here.

You're all dressed up, what's gotten into you?

You look cute.

My birthday was three weeks ago.

-What's going on? -Nothing special.

Nice, she took her shoes off before stepping on the parquet floor.

-Shhh. -I like that. Who is this girl?

-Is she a stranger you picked up? -Cut it out. You're annoying.

-She's a stranger? -Yeah, but I didn't pick her up.

In fact, she picked me up.

-Can I see her? -No, no, don't start.

-What? The detective stuff? -No, worse, the big sister stuff.

-Fine, sounds good. No interrogation. -No interrogation.

-I'll just have a little look. -Wait! Stop! Wait!

It…

Hello.

I helped myself.

Lyna, this is my annoying big sister.

Sis, this is Lyna, my lifesaver.

Showing up at a cop's house is not reasonable.

At all.

But hey, that's a compliment.

No one too reasonable changes the world.

-Why did he say-- -"My lifesaver"?

Yeah. I walk out of class, I see my bike, and it's completely stripped.

No seat, no wheels, it was pretty much gone.

At least the bike lock was there.

Where are the police when you need them?

That's when Lyna showed up.

With her car.

A sporty, powerful, amazing car.

You didn't think that was weird?

You looked so lost.

I felt bad for him.

And then we just hit it off.

Oh, I'm sorry, I…

Damn it.

Thomas is nice.

He went to get some ice.

Wine stains suck, but nothing like blood.

Move.

Your brother adores you, you know?

You're his hero.

He told me about your parents, so sad.

Then I remembered you're a real scumbag.

Okay, fine. Enough with your show of strength.

Elie?

He gets out. Innocent.

An unfortunate administrative error.

-It's not that simple. -It's not?

I'm going out tonight, with Thomas.

I get to choose where.

We might get back late,

and Thomas might not come back at all.

You okay?

I… I got a call from work.

Let's meet up another time.

Okay.

And did it work?

Yep.

Would you do it?

Her brother, would you do it? Would you go after him?

No. No, of course not.

Lyna.

Look at me.

Would you have done it?

Maybe, yeah.

I had to do something for Elie.

But I'm not like that, y'know? It's just…

It was the best move I could come up with.

And all I wanted was to go back to who I was before.

Say something, Elie, please.

-So you're involved in all this. -No questions, is that possible?

It wasn't a question.

If I'd asked the right questions when you got out of prison, we wouldn't be here.

What's that?

Did you get that when you went to see your mother?

Or from the guy with the tattoos?

I was an idiot.

I made bad decisions. I messed up, I know.

I thought that…

I don't know, that…

I was strong and didn't need anybody.

But I love you.

And I need you.

I don't know if this can work, but I need to believe it will.

Do you think it's still possible?

No questions, okay, but no more lies, Lyna, please.

I like him.

You're lucky to have found him.

Your hands, come here.

You see this line here?

That's your fate line.

I was born without one.

So, when I turned 15, I took my father's razor,

and I drew this one.

To become the master of my fate.

You're on the outside,

but are you free?

If my heart stops beating…

…everything I know about the underworld gets out.

Quite the life insurance.

Yeah. That's what I thought too.

4 DAYS EARLIER

For a moment, I thought I could leave it all behind me.

You've been here for three days, and my kitchen's already a mess. You know what?

You love this mess, right?

-I love this mess. Coffee? -Yup.

You're still wearing that?

Of course I am. I told you to get one. But you wanted a mug.

Now you see me looking stylish and you're jealous.

Yeah.

Uh… well, I'm supposed to be off today.

Okay, I'll take care of it. Of course. Okay.

Duty calls, babe?

Just my boss being, uh, well, a boss.

A little background check, should be quick.

Watch out, your webcam is on.
