The Returned (Les Revenants)

Previously…

Something will happen to Julie.

Lucho!

It indicates you and your wife only had one child, Paul.

But there’s nothing about Louis.

– Hi. – You adopted him?

– We’re going home. – They won’t let us leave.

She has her voice, her eyes. It’s not her.

– She’s here to deceive you. – Let me in.

You’ve kidnapped the child. Why do you want him?

I won’t find the path without him. Help me find them.

Then we’ll leave.

– Come with us. – No.

I did it to save you.

35 YEARS AGO

10 MONTHS AFTER THE DAM BURST

The time has come.

We are here, together,

ready to take the path.

You’ve trusted me,

and I’ve promised you we would get answers to our questions.

Why all these deaths?

Why this tragedy?

Why this suffering?

We have been looking for our path, and we have finally found it.

If we take the passage…

Step back.

If we make the gesture,

we will find back our loved ones beyond this world.

Where death is no more.

Where all our loved ones will be with us forever.

What about our baby?

Simon too, will be with you.

You will all be together.

Étienne…

Where we go, you will never feel guilty again.

Thanks for having me.

For helping me.

Let’s pray.

Stay with her. Don’t move.

It was sleeping pills intended for the children, apparently.

Pierre.

I know I can count on you.

Join us.

When I called, Lucho was normal.

When I came back…

Why did he do that?

The little boy was with him?

Yes.

It’s because of him?

It’s his fault?

They can make us commit suicide?

Sandrine wants to talk to you.

– Let us leave, Pierre. – I can’t do that.

Give me that gun.

We won’t hurt you.

She needs medical attention.

We can’t leave her like that.

She’s suffering.

She’s like us.

She’s like them.

She can’t be treated.

We were wrong.

I was wrong.

It’s her.

A mother can feel it.

I can feel it.

It’s her.

She’s suffering, and I have to help her.

Look at her eyes.

Look at her face. It’s her!

You can see it’s her.

It’s her.

Speak to him.

Speak, Audrey.

What should I say?

She remembered you.

She told me about when she first met you.

I wasn’t there. I couldn’t know this.

Tell him, Audrey.

You came to the high school.

To talk about the shelter.

About what you did with the homeless.

You see?

It’s her.

Don’t listen to her.

We can’t listen to them.

They’re not human.

They want to push us to death.

Shut up.

Stay with her, and you’ll die.

– You’re talking nonsense. – Come.

You’re the ones who are not human!

Go get Camille.

Something’s happening.

Virgil.

Camille…

– What are you doing? – I need to talk to him.

– Who is he? – Let her.

We need to leave.

We’re no longer safe here.

Come with us.

You can’t stay with them. You know it.

I can’t.

Come, with me.

I can’t.

As you like.

Stay away from them.

You’re in love.

What are you going to do?

I’ll see if they have really left.

You’re leaving me alone?

You’re not alone anymore.

I’ll find a way to leave this place.

They won’t hurt us if we don’t go out.

I could stay here forever if we’re together.

I…

I thought…

You were so close to us.

You couldn’t have known.

Thank you.

For coming to get us.

I think it’s this way.

Why are we stopping?

You don’t know where to go?

Don’t you trust me anymore?

Those who didn’t come with us?

– What? – You’re leaving them?

You said none of us could stay alone,

or we’d end up like those in the caves.

We can’t take someone by force.

You don’t know where Simon is.

They are following you, because they trust you.

We need to keep going up.

When the child is here, everything will be clear.

All right.

Thank you.

– So? – They’re keeping the child.

To know if he’s OK. They’re worried.

– What about Adèle? – They think she lied.

They don’t believe in the kidnapping.

I shouldn’t have let her go.

Come on.

Pack your things.

I shouldn’t have trusted you.

Where are you going? Simon…

They won’t let you come near her.

– Hello, Adèle. – Hello.

Your baby has a minor cardiac arrhythmia.

He’ll need more examinations.

He also has an injury on his forearm. Did you know?

No, what is it?

I don’t know. It looks like a scratch.

I want to see him.

– That won’t be possible. – Why?

They want to know if he’s safe with you.

– What have you told them? – They asked for my opinion.

I stuck to the facts. I didn’t tell everything.

Wait.

When I got out of the hospital,

I was a little confused.

Everything’s OK, now.

– It’s not my decision, anyway. – Please…

Tell them everything’s OK.

I’ve understood.

Understood what?

This child…

I love him.

I can’t do anything.

I’m sorry.

Why does Lucy want Nathan?

Because she thinks he’ll save us.

– From what? – From those who are afraid of us.

Why did she say you’d hurt Mom?

She wants to scare us.

But it’s not true?

Of course it’s not.

Watch out!

You know…

Lucy acts like she knows everything.

But… she’s like the others. She doesn’t know everything.

However, what I know…

is that I won’t let her take Nathan away from us, all right?

I’d like us to be together. The four of us.

Forever.

So would I.

Julie.

Sorry.

Mr. Lewanski has died.

He died last night. A few hours after you visited him.

We need to tell those who knew him.

Do you know anyone?

The boy you talked about, can we find him?

No.

If you gave me his last name, I could…

– I don’t know his name. – I thought…

Are you OK, Florence?

I don’t know. She got up all of a sudden.

What’s happening?

The military brought the body of a woman last night. A homicide.
