The Horse (La Horse)

- They came back. - Who?

I don't know. It's curved glass. It must come from a flashlight.

They came in without forcing anything. I think they have a key.

And this time I found this as well. Look...

- What is that? - I don't know.

It's drugs. Poppy flower, the night in China... It's called "La Horse".

- "La Horse"? - Heroin.

For sure, some used it. They were in seventh heaven.

"La Horse" - drugs.

Rex!

- Good morning, Dad. - Good morning.

Good morning, daughter.

Didn't you forget something?

- Where's Maurice? - He went to look at the animals.

Say, Léon, I went over the hill of Messais,

and the gate still hasn't been repaired.

- Yes, I have to go past there. - Go there right away.

Okay, I'm going now.

- Has Henri not come down yet? - He's still asleep.

- He read all night. - And when do his holidays end?

His boat leaves Le Havre in three days.

Will he be awake by then?

Bienphu, come here.

Hide this at your place.

- The boss isn't cold at all. - He's never cold.

- That makes you sick. - He never gets sick.

- That's all I have. - That's good enough.

How can you sleep with something that stinks so much?

- I'm used to it. - You're just like your father.

Wait a second.

What's going on? Say something.

Watch your feet!

They fell into our trap.

- Have you stopped shouting? - We want to ask you something.

- Is Bienphu not coming? - No, he has a fever.

Has Henri not woken up yet?

It's my fault. I woke him too late.

It's too hot!

Good day.

You're done eating; This isn't a snack bar.

Actually, I want to talk to you.

- Do you know this stuff? - Don't do it!

Oh! You little bastard!

You wanted to be a vet, you wanted to study law,

and then you wanted to go to art school.

And in the end you end up as a bartender on a

boat carrying drugs. Aren't you ashamed?

You don't understand, you understand nothing.

Oh yes! I understand it, I even understand it

very well, the times have changed and I...

I forbid you to sell your filthy crap on my land

because nothing has changed here.

There was 200 million in it. Now they're going to kill me.

No one will kill you. You're in my house.

- Really? - Yes, really.

Enzymes don't remove stains, they eat them.

Because enzymes don't remove stains, they eat them.

Gluttons! They're greedy, enzymes don't remove stains...

Damn...

Hello! Is Henri at home?

Say...

- Sir? - Madam.

I'd like to speak to Henri. I'm a friend from Paris.

- He's not here, sir. - Ah... That's too bad.

- Can I help you? - We'll see.

Come with me, you can explain everything later.

- So you're the grandfather? - That's me, yes.

That wasn't nice of you. I now have two friends with injured ankles.

Listen, I didn't come here to make trouble. You have to return the goods.

There are people in Paris and even abroad

who have put a lot of money into this business.

Out here in the boonies, you may not realize that.

But the package you seized is worth a lot of money. Two million.

So you give it back, we disappear and there is

nothing to worry about and everyone happy.

Henri is, of course, reprimanded. Everyone has to go on living.

I don't see the point in it.

Now you're going to spoil my good mood.

Because of you, I regret coming all the way here.

You're in my way.

Say, grandpa, you don't want to get your grandson into trouble, do you?

Do I have to hammer it into your head that you don't just have a grandson,

but also a farm. A beautiful farm...

A farm like that can catch fire quickly. And the cows die easily.

And above all, there is the family.

You only have one family, and that is the most important thing.

The little sister... she's round, pretty.

Virgin... good for several men.

Well done.

Come down, you.

What's going on?

Go back inside now.

- He looks drunk. - Véronique, come help.

Henri, get the cider.

And turn on the light, please.

- Shall I wait here for you, uncle? - Of course.

- Shall I dig the hole? - Yes, go ahead.

This afternoon I saw Vollet in town.

He'll come tomorrow to look at the tractor.

Was there company just now?

So we had company?

Did you see anyone, girls?

And you, Léon? Did you see anyone?

I wasn't there.

No one came, or I would have noticed.

Henri. Pack your things.

Open the hatch.

Get in...

Go down.

You're an old man.

It's wrong to want to kill your father.

Who?

Our middleman in Le Havre, the bartender.

He's disappeared, along with the goods.

That's really annoying.

There's someone behind it. A man from his family, a farmer.

I sent Marc to go look. He has disappeared too.

- Very annoying... - Very. Marc is my brother.

Never do business with family.

Never!

France is you, Switzerland is me.

The delivery that was due to leave Le Havre yesterday had already been paid for.

And your share was handed over to you in Paris.

I suggest you take delivery of the goods again within 48 hours.

- Or you pay everything back. - 200 million?

- You can figure that out. - And if that doesn't work?

Well...

This is very annoying.

- Mr. Maroilleur's farm? - You've come to the right place.

Do you work for him?

- I'm his son-in-law. Why? - Give him a message.

Tell your father-in-law we're waiting for Marc and the

goods at the tobacconist in Jarville...

It's 9 o'clock now. By noon, but not a minute later, understood?

Look, there he is. Tell him yourself.

There's no point. Especially for him.

- What did the old man say? - As always, nothing.

And this Marc he was talking about, who do you think that is?

Maybe that man who was here the other day.

He came for Henri... Has he eaten?

I just brought it to him.

There is one who knows. Bienphu.

Oh, yes...

It's noon.

Yes, so?

Go talk to him. After all, he's our child. If

something serious is going on, we have the right to know.

- It's 00:20, he must be asleep. - He never sleeps.

Father?

- Father? - Yes.

Why did you lock Henri in Bienphu's cellar?

I didn't lock him up, I hid him.

- Now he's lost his job. - Better that than losing your life.

But what has he done? Who was that man who came to talk to me?

What kind of business is this? Does it have anything to do with Henri?

I'm his father. I have the right to know.

I'm his grandfather and you have no rights.

I inherited my father's estate, it's tradition.

So go to bed and turn off the light.

Because the bullfight has only just begun...

Those bastards are going to shoot, but I have the remedy...

You're folkloric, just like the old man. Not in the same way, but still...

The old man knows what he's doing.

In any case, you always agree with him.

When I came back wounded with bits of cast iron

in my skin, he was the only one in the family who wanted me.

The divine patriarch and his fool. You're only missing a costume, a cap and bells.

- Do you smell anything? - Yes, madness.

Your studies in Paris have only done you harm.

- Introduction to psychoanalysis, funny... - Very funny.

- Do you really smell nothing? - The Viet Cong.

It's not funny, I have a fox's nose.

It's the grass in the barn.

- Maurice, call the fire brigade! - We're calling nobody!

- Are you crazy? - Shut up! I know what I'm doing.

It's Roger.

They're attacking the animals!

- Did you hear that? - Yes, we have to wake him.

- This time I'm going to the gendarmerie. - No, you're not.

- Do you realize how much money you're losing? - I don't care.

- There are at least 30 dead animals. - So what?

He dares say money means nothing to him. It's our money too.

Taking the law into your own hands is no longer of this time.

The fact that those people are killing the animals and setting fires could get even worse.

I want to protect my son. I had better call the gendarmerie.

It's better to talk to Henri. He surely knows something.

I'll go.

Who informed the gendarmes?

But if they come, all the better. I'm fed up.

Well, if you're fed up, as you say, then just fuck off!

You're my daughter's husband, and nothing more. Everybody shut up.

- Good morning, Mr. Maroilleur. - Good morning, chief.

- Do you have a minute? - Come in.

Take a seat.

The guys who worked on the site told us that

some people slaughtered your animals.

Yes, a few.

- We've counted 27. - Any idea who did that?

No.

Moreover, one of your barns burned down last night.
