Your alarm didn't go off?

Yeah. Shit.

No worries. I'll tell them you had to fill up.

Thank you.

Hello?

Dad, Roxane broke my Bluetooth headset.

What?

My headset with the kitty ears. I told her not to take it

and she broke it.

Léna, I'm working. Can't you ask Mom to deal with this?

She's not here. Dounia's watching over us.

I'm so upset. I can't use it, it's broken.

It was a limited edition.

Auntie gifted it to me, I'm so mad!

Put your sister on.

Roxane! Dad wants to talk to you.

What?

For starters, it's not "What?" You say, "Hi, Dad."

What happened?

Why did you break Léna's headset?

- I didn't break it... - You're such a liar.

- You think I didn't see you? - It's not true!

First you didn't see anything,

and I already told you I didn't touch it!

And you take it to listen to your crappy music.

My crappy music? Stop acting so grown-up!

Léna? Can you hear me?

Yes.

Did you see her do it?

What?

Did you see her break it?

No, I didn't, but who else could it be?

Roxane, do you swear you didn't do it?

I swear. I'm not lying.

Alright, it's settled. Léna, let it go.

What? You always take her side.

No, but if she says she didn't do it, I believe her.

If she's lying, that's her problem.

- That's it. - It's always the same!

Learn to deal with problems on your own.

I've had enough.

Okay?

Stop lying, you know you broke it.

I'm telling the truth.

I didn't hear you.

THIRTY-SEVEN

Hello?

Yeah?

You're 20 minutes late, what's going on?

I had to stop somewhere, but I'll be there in five.

Okay. I've found something to complete your delivery.

It's 15 pallets of children toys, that should fit.

Okay.

And I can't reach Fredo, so tell him to call me.

Okay.

Leave them in the middle, frozen food's in the back.

Hang on, I can't take this.

Is there a problem?

It's damaged. Get me another one.

No can do. It's the last one in stock.

You gotta take it as-is.

Fine. I'll write it down on the delivery order.

I don't wanna be held accountable.

I'll go talk to my superior.

You do that.

You've reached Fredo's voicemail.

I'm unavailable at the moment, but you know what to do.

Hey. Can I have a cigarette?

Got a light?

Hello?

Hi, Vincent. It's Dounia, I'm with the girls.

Is something wrong?

Everything's fine.

Mélanie had an appointment. She left them with me.

I just wanted to tell you that a bailiff came by.

- What did he want? - I don't know.

I told him you weren't home, so he'll be back later.

Okay, I'll be there. Thanks, Dounia.

You're welcome. See you.

Hey, wait up!

- Are you headed to Paris? - Yeah.

I have an appointment at Clichy Hospital.

Can you drop me off?

Sorry, I'm not allowed to pick up hitchhikers.

My boss will be there in 20 minutes.

I can't wait. I gotta go.

What about the damaged box?

That's okay, don't worry.

I'll take it as-is and deal with the client.

Can you take off your shoes?

Don't take it the wrong way, but do you have ID?

I have a residence permit.

Wanna see it?

No, it's okay. I believe you.

Sorry, it's nothing personal, but I can get in trouble

for picking up undocumented immigrants.

I know. What about you?

What about me?

Do you have your papers?

What's that?

Fritters. Help yourself.

It's good.

My wife made them.

Oh, can I put some music on?

The antenna's broken, but there's CDs in the binder.

That's a lot of skulls.

Yeah, I'm mostly into metal. Sorry.

Into what?

Metal. Really loud rock music. Rough stuff.

Can't be worse than this morning's driver.

He only listened to cowboy music.

I couldn't take it anymore.

A truck driver? Bald with big sideburns?

That's Fredo. We work for the same company.

- Why didn't you stay with him? - Not with his weird music.

What do you listen to?

I don't know. Music to dance to.

Rihanna, Beyoncé, Aya Nakamura.

You know her? She's French.

My daughters love her.

Your daughters? How many do you have?

Two.

And you? Is this your first?

- Do you know what it'll be? - No, but I can feel it's a boy.

I see. What will you call him?

Bailo.

Bailo? That's a pretty name.

And you? What's your name?

Vincent.

Nice to meet you, Vincent.

Don't you wanna know my name?

Shit, sorry. What's your name?

Thirty-seven.

Is that a real name?

I didn't choose it.

Shit.

Hello?

- Are you still at the client's? - No, I just left.

Have you seen Fredo?

Er... no, his truck was there, but he wasn't in it.

When did you see him last?

I'm not sure. Early afternoon.

Was he alone?

How so?

In his cab. When you saw him earlier, was he alone?

I don't get it. What's going on?

The cops just called. He was found dead in his cab.

Apparently, he was shot in the head.

Turn around. They wanna talk to you.

Okay.

Are those your glasses?

Your colleague gave them to me.

Fredo gave you his Ray-Bans?

Oh, yeah.

There's one metal song I like, but I can't remember the title.

It goes like this...

That's "Kryzalid" by Midnight Prayers.

Yes, that's it. Do you have it?

I don't know. Check towards the end.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I'll check.

It might be the brake system. I'll take a look.

Ah! Can I borrow it?

I need to call the hospital.

Sure.

Is that a lucky charm? Why did you take it off?

Can I have it back?

Let's play a game. If you win, you can have it back.

But if you lose, I'll toss it out the window.

Come on. My wife gave it to me.

You should've thought about that before taking it off.
