- Hello?
- This is Jimmy from Radio Espace.

It's 7:15.

Up for grabs today
we have a Caribbean cruise for two.

To win,
answer the following question:

what is the capital of Tuvalu?

One second.
Justine! I need you.

- One second.
- No! Sorry.

The answer isn't:
"Justine, I need you."

Sorry about that.

We'll play again
for the cruise tomorrow.

Have a good day
listening to Radio Espace.

I don't believe it.

You see?
The day's started badly.

It's only glass,

and it brings good luck.

The cards don't lie.

They do for me.

Didn't you know?

Look at me.

The hero never dies,
so it won't happen today.

Very funny.

You could stay in bed all day,

and I'll come back at lunchtime
to see if you're alive.

Just a second.

This is really important.

This button is for HDMI.

And that's to change channels.

What is this?

If I die, you'll need to know
how the TV works.

Don't worry, I won't die today.

You're meeting my mother.
I can't miss that.

- I'm sure she's lovely.
- She is, it's just

she tends to...
What shall I say?

Worry about everything all the time.
A bit like you.

Out of the way!

- Calm down.
- Out of my way!

Stop him!

Get out of my way!

Move!

Don't point a knife
at a man with a g*n.

Sorry. Thanks, Captain.

Be careful next time.

- Let me go!
- Come on!

Shit, let me go!

- Let me go!
- Enough.

I haven't done anything!

Stay with us.

Thank you, my child.

I'd like to kiss you every day,
forever.

- Hello, Captain.
- Hi.

Exciting start to your day.

Yes. Just as well,
in case it's my last.

- What?
- Justine did my cards last night.

It seems I have hours to live.

I wondered when you'd call.

I'm always at my post.

We have a man
who's been shot twice.

Gérard Sinclair, insurance.

Office is at 1, quai Van Buren.

- On our way.
- OK.

Let's hope he was well insured.

Write that down.

Finally, someone understands me!

You're good.
I saw it straightaway.

The death of Kader Cherif

Mum, I didn't think
you'd want Sarah to go.

She's serious about this.

It's for the best.

I'll see you tonight.
Bye.

Hello.

Was that you I heard

on Radio Espace?
- Yes.

The capital of Tuvalu.
I wouldn't know.

It's Funafuti.

If they call again, then I'll know.

You don't get a second chance.

I must introduce

Gabriel, my new partner.

He knows who's the boss.

No more girl partners.
It's in my contract.

- Who discovered the body?
- Hélène, his wife.

A man was leaving as she arrived.

He had blood on his hands.

- Hello, Captain.
- Hi.

Alright?

Hello, Captain.

Hi, Fred.

Hi, Kader.

Alright?

- Well?
- 2 b*ll*ts.

One in the abdomen,
one in the heart.

Died on the spot. Between 7:30
and 8:15 am. He's stiIl warm.

The man with the bleeding heart.

- Pardon?
- The man with the bleeding heart

His love like a chestnut

Or iced chocolate
Acid drops

Very poetic.

- Poetry is everything.
- I love poetry.

- Really?
- Philippe...

I can't fight it.

I can't resist.

Oh?

It's not going to work.
You'll laugh,

but I'm with someone.

- No!
- Yes.

I thought we were clear.

Not at all.

The calibre is 7.65, or 9 mm.

- We'll see at the autopsy.
- Right.

Quite.

2 capsules and a wet cup.
No, 2 wet cups.

Gaby, over here.

Let the Captain work.
Make yourself useful.

That's a photocopier.
The body is there.

Don't touch anything.

- I can tell you he died at 7:50.
- What?

- How do you know?
- The log from the photocopier.

He started it when he fell.

Well done, Gabriel.

You learn strange things
at police college now.

I sold printers and photocopiers,

for 6 months.

How interesting.
Who cares?

It's a burglary gone wrong.

The suspect broke the door,

came in, and was surprised
by the victim.

They fight. The bloke falls
and starts the photocopier.

- That's it.
- QED, sorted.

Dejax and Baudemont.

That would make a good name
for a series.

A comedy,
as that's not what happened.

The burglary is staged.

The coffee capsules are warm,
so the k*ller and victim

had a coffee first.

Yes.
Yes, Dejax-Baudemont...

I prefer Baudemont-Dejax.
Better ring to it.

We could do a theme tune.
Like...

Eh, partner?
What do you say?

Good luck, Gaby. Good luck.

Gérard Sinclair
was under investigation for fraud.

He'd been summoned to appear.

He'd relieved his clients
of hundreds of thousands of euros.

So lots of potential suspects.

Let's hope we find some witnesses.

Ah! Excuse me.

- Hello, Justine.
- Am I disturbing you?

I think I left a file at your place.

Really? I don't remember
seeing a file lying around.

Maybe I just wanted
to speak to you.

And check that I was OK.

OK, I admit it.

Be careful, OK?

I'd really miss you.

That's nice. You'd better be careful
when you meet my mother.

Bye.
See you tonight.

It seems serious.

Yes. We get on pretty well.

I meant your imminent death.

If you're going to die,
I'd like to know.

I'll do my best.

I'd like to kiss you every day,
forever.

Cherif,
Sinclair's widow is here.

- Coming?
- Yes.

I've worked with my husband
since his assistant retired

3 years ago.

It did me good
to go back to work.

It did us good.

You didn't arrive together
this morning?

No.

We never arrived together.

Gérard is in the office by 6:30,

and I leave the house at 7:30.

The man you met,
had you seen him before?

I'm not sure, but I think
I've seen him in the office.

I'm pretty sure
it was Daniel Rubin,

a chocolate maker,
one of our clients.

Someone your husband swindled?

We know complaints
have been filed,

and your accounts are empty.

This again?

Listen, Gérard never took
a single cent.

We've had a lot of claims to cover.

It looked like the money
had disappeared,

but he assured me
it was just the accounts system.

He was an honest man.

Find the man who did this
rather than sullying his memory!

I'm sorry, I got carried away.

It's just that...

I'm all alone now,

and I don't know how I'll cope.

Can I go, please?

I want to leave.

She seems convinced
of her husband's innocence.

We'll pay Daniel Rubin a visit.

Can't wait.

I need to see someone.
It's an emergency!

A matter of life and death.

It's my husband, Daniel Rubin.
Please get someone.

- Mrs Rubin?
- Yes.

It's OK.
Captains Briard and Cherif.

It's my husband.

Tell us what's wrong.

Daniel left at 7:30
to confront Gérard Sinclair,

who stole all our money.
I tried to stop him.

I couldn't,
and when he came back

he had blood on his hands.

He wanted us to leave the country.

- Keep calm.
- I don't know what he's...

Some maniac has locked himself
in Sinclair's office.

He's threatening to blow it up.

On our way.

Cherif, I think I know
where he is.

Camille, look after this lady.

It'll be OK.

Back to the scene of the crime.

Come on!

The building's been evacuated.
Be careful.

I'll try.

Come any closer and it'll blow!

Hello, Mr Rubin.

I don't want to hurt you,
but I'll do it.

Call me Kader.
Given the circumstances...

- Can I call you Dany?
- I'm serious!

I know you are.
So am I.

It might not show,
but I'm scared stiff.

I don't want to die today.
I've got a kid,

a girlfriend
and a great partner outside.

You must have lots of reasons
not to want to die.

I've got nothing!
He took everything!

- Don't move!
- OK. I'm not moving.

That stinks.
Can you turn it off?

I swear I'll do it!
Get out!

I suggest you stay cool.

We'll talk about it.

I don't want to talk!
He took everything!

Stay back!

I wasn't lying, she's my partner.
She's cool.

Daniel, please, don't panic.

She's really cool.

- Get out of here, please.
- No way.

- Hello?
- Hi, it's Jimmy from Radio Espace.

It's 7:15.

Up for grabs today
we have a Caribbean cruise for two.

To win,
answer the following question:

what is the capital of Tuvalu?

Haven't you called me?

No, sorry,

the correct answer isn't:
"Haven't you called me?"

We'll play again
for the cruise tomorrow.

Have a good day
listening to Radio Espace.

I don't believe it.

You see?
The day's started badly.

Stop it, Justine.

You could stay in bed all day.

I'll come back at lunchtime
to see if you're alive.

- What?
- You already said that.

- I'm repeating myself?
- No.

Come here.

- Watch out!
- Let go of me!

Stop him!

- Out of my way!
- He's armed.

Move!

Spread your legs!
Heard me!

The knife.

- Thanks, Captain.
- Be more careful, guys.

You're hurting me!
Let me go!

- Come on!
- Let go of me!

- Get off me!
- That's enough.

Hello, Captain.

Camille, was there
an old lady here, this morning?

What old lady?

Never mind.

I'd like to kiss you every day,
forever.

Hello, Captain.

Hi.

Exciting start to your day.

Are you OK?

Yes... Yes.

Yes, Joël.

It's me.
I'm always at my post.

We have a man
who's been shot twice.

Gérard Sinclair, insurance.

His office is...

1, quai Van Buren?

- It's starting again.
- That's what they pay us for.

Not well, I agree,
but there you go.

Thanks, Joël. On our way.

Kader, can you hear me?

Yes. Sorry, Mum,
I wasn't listening.

Your mind is elsewhere.

Listen, I'll call you back.

I'll call round tonight. Bye.

Hello.

Was that you on Radio Espace?

Yes.

The capital of Tuvalu.
I wouldn't know.

It's Funafuti.

- That's not on, Adeline.
- What?

Funafuti?
Are you making fun of me?

What?

You'll know if they call again.

But you never get
a second chance.

Second chance?

I haven't introduced you.
This is my new partner, Gaby.

He knows who's the boss.

As for me, girl partners,

I've decided never again.

It's in your contract.

Yes.

Who discovered the body?

Hello, Captain.

Hello, Captain.

Hi, Kader.

- Well?
- 2 b*ll*ts.

One in the abdomen,
one in the heart. He died...

Captain. The k*ller and victim
had coffee together.

He tried to hide it.
They know each other.

All this, the burglary,
it's staged.

You said he was good, but...

Are you OK?

- Cherif?
- What?

Yes, yes.

Yes. Of course. Yes.

Gérard Sinclair
was under investigation for fraud.

He'd been summoned to appear.

He'd relieved his clients
of hundreds of thousands of euros.

Yes, I know.

I haven't spoken to you.

- What's going on, Cherif?
- I don't know.

It's as if...

It's as if I know
what's going to happen.

The insurance office.
I know we'll go back,

but I don't know why.

Like déjà-vu,
an episodic-memory problem.

I don't think so.

No.

For example,

my phone will ring
in a few seconds.

I promise, Justine will call me

and we'll talk about... Well...
She's meeting my mother.

It seems serious.

Yes. I think so.

No, I mean your behaviour
this morning.

See, I'm not making it up.

You can see.

She does call quite often.
Shall we talk to Hélène Sinclair?

I've worked with my husband
since his assistant retired

3 years ago.

It did me good to go back to work.
It did us good.

You didn't arrive together
this morning?

No. We never arrived together.

Gérard is in the office by 6:30,

and I leave the house at 7:30.

The man you met,
had you seen him before?

Daniel Rubin.

Right?

Yes, I'm fairly certain.

One of the clients
your husband swindled.

I know.
Correct me if I'm wrong,

your husband
was having a difficult time

and made decisions
in the interest of the agency

and his clients.
Is that right?

- How do you know?
- Good question.

Excuse me.
Can I talk to you?

I said we had to go back.
Now I know why.

- Calm down...
- We don't have much time.

We have to turn off the gas
in that building.

We have to go. Now.

The gas is still on?

It's a maze.
I'll see what's happening.

OK.

Come any closer and it'll blow!

Hello, Daniel.

- Do I know you?
- Yes.

We know each other.

Go away. I'll do it!

I know, I know you will.
And I may not look it,

compared to last time,
but I'm scared stiff.

What do you mean?
You're trying to confuse me!

No. Daniel, listen to me.

I'm trying to say I understand.

You don't know anything about me!

You don't know how I feel!

I know Sinclair stole your savings.

- You don't understand.
- Then help me,

but I can't leave you here.

We don't have to die today.

I can't ignore Sinclair's m*rder...

I didn't k*ll Sinclair!
I wanted to...

Anyway, what's done is done.

But we can find a solution.

It's over, he took everything!

Think of those you're leaving behind.

- Yes.
- My wife's better without me.

- I saw her this morning.
- This morning?

- Yes...
- You spoke to my wife?

You spoke to Sandrine?
I don't believe you!

Ring.
Come on, ring.

- Hi, Jimmy.
- Yes,

this is Jimmy from Radio Espace.
It's 7.15 am.

Up for grabs today
we have a Caribbean cruise for two.

To win,
answer the following question:

what is the capital of Tuvalu?

- Funafuti.
- Yes! That's it!

You've won a Caribbean cruise
for two...

I'm in the 4th dimension...

and every day is the same.

The m*rder.

Sinclair.

That's it. Sinclair Insurance.

I can prevent it.

Rubin.

Daniel Rubin.

He hasn't left home yet.
I've got 15 minutes to stop him.

Are you OK? I...

Kader?

Kader?

Adeline, listen to me.

In 14 minutes, Daniel Rubin
will leave his home.

- Daniel Rubin?
- Yes. I'm sure of what I'm saying.

I'm going to try and intercept him,
but just in case,

send a team to 1, quai Van Buren.

His target is Gérard Sinclair.

He runs an insurance firm.

- Kader?
- I'm still here.

Still here, Adeline.
One last thing.

Prévost and Bertrand
are bringing in a suspect.

He'll try to escape.
He's got a knife in his jeans.

- Tell them to be careful.
- But...

Let me go! You can't do this!

I leave home and you arrest me!

Yes, but you'll thank me later.

I won't let you commit m*rder.

m*rder? You're crazy!

I'm a chocolate maker.
I won an award for it.

- I'm not a m*rder*r.
- There's a 1st time for everything.

You were going to
1, quai Van Buren,

to have coffee
and chat to your favourite insurer?

- Right?
- How do you know that?

Here. Thanks.

I haven't time to explain.

I don't know what I'll do with you,

but I'll think of something.

- Kader?
- I know.

- What's going on?
- Wait.

This will seem odd,
but I prevented Sinclair's m*rder.

A crooked insurer.

- Explain.
- Wait.

I promise you'll thank me.

Yes, Baudemont?

I heard you on Radio Espace.

Why did you hang up on him?

You didn't want the prize?

Yes, the Caribbean, sure.

I pressed the wrong button.

- I didn't know you were listening.
- Yes.

Anyway, we have a body.

2 b*ll*ts to the torso.
Gérard Sinclair, an insurer.

His office is at
1, quai Van Buren.

X-Files: The Truth Is Out There

Groundhog Day

What to do
when caught in a time warp?

Kader,

Daniel Rubin
is not under the influence of dr*gs.

You're playing for time.
What's going on?

I have a lead, and believe me,

he's better inside than out.

Why didn't you go
to the crime scene?

I was doing some research.
I've a lot of work on.

And I got the files
on all the claimants

who may bear a grudge
against our victim,

so there's quite a bit to do.

Fine.

When you feel like telling me
what this is about,

you know where to find me.

Justine? Hi, it's me.

Can you get away right now?

- Are you OK?
- Yes.

Thanks for coming.

I was with the academy inspector.
You scared me.

You know that since...

The prophecy, the cards...

I don't know how to tell you this.

- Just give it to me straight.
- Yeah. OK.

Look...

The cards were right.

I died several times today.

Adeline and me both,
but I can't stop the same events

from happening.

- You die and start again?
- Exactly.

It's because of the old woman
no one can see.

It's like she gave me a mission.
But what?

I don't know how to stop the day
from starting over.

You have to help me get out.

- Of the day?
- Yes, that's it.

I've looked on the Internet.

It seems there's an act to perform,
but I don't know what.

- Do you see?
- Yes, I see.

I think I have the answer.
Got a pen?

Yes.

Hold on.

- Do exactly as I say.
- Of course.

You need 3 big cloves of garlic.

- 3 big cloves of garlic?
- Yes.

- When you have them...
- Yes?

Wait till midnight.

- That's very important.
- Midnight.

You hang two of them
round your neck.

Two?

Around my neck?

And the third?

Suffocate yourself with it!

- Are you taking the piss?
- No.

OK, you don't believe in the cards,
but to get me here

to make fun of me
is unacceptable!

Justine, let me explain.

It's not what you think.

Justine, you know me,
you know...

Excuse me.

I see. That's why
you weren't at the crime scene.

- No...
- I don't know what's wrong with you.

I need an explanation, right now.

OK.

It's like this. Daniel Rubin...

Daniel Rubin is free.
Prosecutor's orders.

- When?
- 10 minutes ago.

He was furious.

He'll probably sue
for wrongful arrest.

It's a matter of life and death.
I have to go to the insurance office.

Rubin is going to hide
in the boiler room.

Warn Adeline.

It's a matter of life and death,
believe me.

I can get the gas cut off, can't I?

Come near and it'll blow!

It's me.

It's me. Hello again.

Oh, no...
Not him.

Get lost!
I don't want to hurt you,

but if you stay, I'll k*ll you.
- I know.

Just try and stay calm, OK?

What I'm about to say
will seem strange,

but hear me out.

Then you can do what you want.
OK?

I thought you were going to k*ll
Sinclair but I was wrong.

But I have to find the k*ller,
and you can help.

I don't care!
He took all I had!

I know he did, but look,

you're a hard worker,
you have talent.

Look what you've achieved.
You'll soon be back on track.

It's only money.

Money?
You think money's the problem?

Look at me!
You think that's it?

Shit!

There has to be a solution.

The insurance office.

Yes. The number for Reception.

Hello? Captain Cherif here.
Listen to me.

The police are on their way.

For the safety of your staff,
do exactly as I say.

Still warm.

Go that way.

Police!
Come out, no funny business.

- Don't move! Police!
- Come out.

Cherif?

What are you doing here?

We were asked to check
if the police were coming

or if it was a hoax.

The receptionist
described a man running in.

It sounded like you.

She was talking about the k*ller.

Did anyone else pass her?

No, you're the only suspect
she mentioned.

Gabriel Piron, police constable.

I know.

We never arrived together.

Gérard gets up early

and is in the office by 6:30.
I leave home at 7:30.

The man you met.
Had you seen him before?

I wasn't certain,

but I think he'd been there before.
I think it was Daniel Rubin.

Whatever I do, whatever I try,

Gérard Sinclair dies
and Daniel Rubin kills himself.

Listen to yourself.
You've been in a loop for 10 minutes.

No, not 10 minutes.

Three days.

Four days, even.

What's wrong, Kader?

Get a grip. Adeline's questioning
Sinclair's widow.

She'll get nothing,
any more than I can stop

Daniel k*lling himself.

Can I go, please?
I want to leave.

All I know for sure

is the k*ller knows the victim
and the building.

Mrs Rubin's hiding something.

He kills himself because of her,
do you see?

No?

No, you don't.
Well, no.

You're overdoing things, Kader.
You need to rest.

- You OK?
- Yes, I got cut this morning.

- I didn't search him.
- I can't be everywhere.

But maybe tomorrow,
Inch'Allah.

It can't wait!
It's a matter of life and death!

Mrs Rubin?

- It's about her husband.
- I know. I'll handle it.

I'm Captain Cherif.
Let's talk somewhere quiet.

Mrs Rubin, I'll be frank.

Were you having an affair
with Gérard Sinclair?

Your husband knows,
and it wasn't him who k*lled him.

But he's going to do
something stupid soon.

How do you mean?

First question: where were you
between 7:30 and 8:15 am?

Talking to my mother

on the phone. She'll confirm it.
- Did you k*ll your lover?

No, of course not.

We'd just broken up.

It meant nothing.

Daniel worked a lot.
I needed reassurance.

But I regret it so much.
I love Daniel.

I understand. I need you
to help prevent his su1c1de.

- What?
- Yes.

You must believe me.

Captain Cherif,
stop this right now.

Come on.

Do you realise
what you were saying?

Are you a clairvoyant now?

- Did Hélène Sinclair leave?
- Yes.

She k*lled her husband.

She knows the building.
She works there.

She could have escaped easily.
And she has a motive.

Her husband was cheating.

He was going to leave her
and take their savings.

But she told the police.

Adeline, it's not the first time.

- I don't see...
- Let him finish explaining.

Right.

I know what I'm about to say
will seem totally mad.

I'd react the same way
if someone said it to me.

Here goes.
I've already lived this day.

- That's...
- I know what you're going to say.

It's not just a case of déjà-vu.

You must believe me.

Preventing Sinclair's m*rder
is only part of the solution.

- There's something else?
- Yes, Daniel Rubin's su1c1de.

He's going to do it

in 45 minutes.
Daniel Rubin must not die.

Do you really believe that?

I've never been more serious.

You need a check-up.

I can't let you carry on like this.

Are you serious?

I'm calling Dejax.
We'll do it in my office.

You're going nowhere
till you've seen a doctor.

Adeline, Daniel Rubin
must not die. See to it!

Sinclair arrives: 6:30 am.

Rubin leaves: 7:30 am.
The m*rder: 7:50 am.

The su1c1de: 10 am.

You're in great shape, old son.

But your story's hard to swallow.

Kader, listen.

We're evacuating the building.

I don't know how,
but you were right.

Rubin is in the boiler room.
He's turned on the gas.

Let me go. I know...

- You'll never get there in time.
- I will.

Captain Briard's coming.
The guy's raving. It won't end well.

Don't let her in. That's an order.

- Get her out!
- Calm down.

She's going to die!
Put Adeline on!

Cherif, you were right about Rubin.

Adeline, get out of there
right now!

- Get out!
- Mr Rubin, don't do that!

OK.

We start again.

First the m*rder
and Hélène Sinclair.

I can't catch her doing it,
but I can delay her.

Mission Impossible,
season 5, episode 1.

Joël, I've a favour to ask you.

- Two, in fact.
- Wow!

You're greedy. Tell me.

Can you get to
1, quai Van Buren in 10 minutes?

- No problem.
- Great.

Two, head north-south
and intercept Hélène Sinclair.

- Her number plate's on file.
- OK.

It's vital that you hold her up
for at least 10 minutes.

Breath test, tyres,
CO2 emissions. Easy.

This is really serious.

Woah! Don't worry, we're on it.

Thanks.

Is everything OK?

With a bit of luck, yes.

Send me all the files, OK?

Hold on one second.

Yes, Cherif?

I need you to meet me outside
right now.

What's going on?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

Now I am.

Come with me.
I was wrong from the start.

What mattered wasn't the m*rder
or the su1c1de, but saving you,

not letting you die.
- You've seen too many cop shows.

- Why the hurry?
- This time you won't die.

- I won't...
- Yes.

I'll write up the report,
I promise.

Hélène Sinclair lied to us.

She's going to try again
to k*ll her husband,

but this time
we'll catch her at it.

What are you on about?
Who's Hélène Sinclair?

- What's wrong with you?
- I knew, all those years!

All those lies, those supposed
meetings with your colleagues.

I believed them out of love,
Gérard.

I won't let you abandon me,
do you understand?

- Don't move!
- Put that down.

Get back!

No one saw me come in.
I'll go out the same way.

And I'll call the police!

No need, we're here.

- Police, don't move.
- Put the g*n down.

Put it down!

You're under arrest
for attempted m*rder.

How did you know?

If I told you,
you'd never believe me.

I'm arresting you for fraud.
Hands behind your back.

Why are we standing here?

That's why.

She was leaving home
on her way to the police.

Exactly as you said.

What do you want with me?

We all want your husband to know
that all is not lost.

Are you sure about this?

This time it'll be OK.
I've shut off the gas.

This time?

Joël, go.

Come on.

Go on.

Daniel?

- Sandrine?
- Daniel?

What are you doing here?
Please, go!

- Shall we go in?
- Patience, Captain.

Get out of here, please.

I'm sorry.
I did a stupid thing.

Stay with me.

Give us a chance to start again.

We can go far away if you want.

Daniel, I love you so much.

There.
That's what he needed to hear.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I love you.

If only we could prevent murders
more often...

Thanks.

Dejax would be out of a job.

I think I've learned a lot
during this very long day.

Long day?

If you say so.

I'm not sure why,
but you seem relieved.

Still as incoherent as ever,
but relieved.

You could say that.

Without you...

I realised I didn't want
to change partners.

You'll still have to tell me
how you knew about it all.

I will.

One day.

- Funafuti?
- Don't talk to me like that.

- Hi, Mum.
- Hello.

Finally you answer the phone.
What's new?

Lots, but if I told you,
you'd never believe me.

I'm listening, son. Go on.

OK.

It all started at the police station.

One morning I met an old woman,

and she kissed me warmly.

She said something like...

Well, that she wanted to kiss me...

"I'd like to kiss you every day,
forever"?

That's exactly it, Mum.

Kader, your great-grandmother
said that to me

whenever she covered me in kisses
as a child.

I'm putting you on speaker.

She was quite something.

An amazing woman, very brave.

Is she in the photo
of Khalil's birthday,

his 60th?

Yes, she's in
the top left-hand corner.

Do you see her?

Yes, I've got her.

She was really extraordinary,
wonderful,

very kind.
You have her eyes,

up to a point.
You knew her as a child.

Do you remember?

Sorry, Mum,
I'll call you right back.

I brought croissants.

I was wrong about the cards.

I was scared yesterday.
You must have thought me mad.

Oh, no!

I was tense all day,
like I will be the day

you introduce me to your mother.

- There's no hurry.
- No. I'm kidding. We have time.

I'm glad the cards lied for once.
