- No.

We are sorry for Lucien.

I'm sorry to bother you, but me

must be at the clerk's office at four o'clock.

Sign the bankruptcy application.

OK.

I know it's hard,

but you will definitely come back on top.

I will not let you down.

For accounting or for something

to drink. I am here for you.

And some good news

in all this misery.

I sold your CO2 rights,

your right to pollute.

I have it on your personal account

deposited. Still 16,000 euros.

You get it within 24 hours.

- Thank you.

Are you okay?

- Yes.

Goodbye, mate.

To have access

to the CO2 rights market ...

you have to register your company

at the CO2 register, just on the internet.

Everyone can do that in five minutes.

You must have an ID card

and an extract from the trade register.

And how do you trade them?

Very simple, online. You just open

an account with a trader.

And then you trade, just like on the stock market,

across the EU.

Your company did well

on the French market.

You can exercise your rights in the Netherlands

or selling England ...

to a company that emits more CO2.

Do you have to pay tax on that?

- Crazy enough, yes.

It is different than with shares.

Here you pay 19.7 percent VAT,

elsewhere a different amount.

To facilitate trade,

everything is exclusive.

Except if you sell in France,

then it is included.

Why are you suddenly interested?

- Continue.

The state will shoot you the VA to facilitate the procedure.

In your case:

On that 16,000 is 3000 VAT.

You pay that back later to the state.

Absurd, but it is the French system.

Do you want to find an empty company for me

with a stooge ...

and open a bank account for me.

- Why?

I have an idea.

- You want to commit VAT fraud.

You then light up the state, beware.

- Do me that fun.

What should we do with CO2 rights?

- Same as Atlan.

What are you talking about Atlan?

You want to swipe VAT on carbon dioxide?

Can you already see us walking with gas bottles?

You're crazy.

And how do we sell that?

- It is not gas, but wind.

Wind trade with VAT.

It is virtual.

No transport, no intermediary ...

no cash.

Only you and your computer.

I do not understand.

- It is complicated.

We do not know anything about the stock market.

- Buy some brain cells.

There is nothing to understand.

You just have to have guts.

You have acorns that go on vacation

and leave the front door open.

With a sign:
take everything with you.

You use that anyway.

Guys, help me.

There are still messages in the car.

Tony, boy, how are you?

His wife has put him at the door.

He can live below, in the store.

What have you done to your wife?

- Three times nothing, do not worry.

It's a mess downstairs, though.

- Does not matter.

Do you eat?

- No, I have to work.

Antoine wants to cheat everyone.

Ban the Banque de France.

Can not you keep your head?

That way you end up in a trunk

with three bullets in your head.

How so? Mama is family,

he may know that.

Leave her out.

- Mama lives here.

And here you tell her everything.

- You see, you keep your mouth shut.

Final balance:
+ 40,000 euros

Wait a second? 40,000?

- In a week.

So it works.

- Why does not everyone do it then?

I do not know if there are others.

- If it yields so much ...

you can pay off your debts

and keep your business.

Why do you want to share with us?

- It is not dividing, but multiplying.

The more you bet, the more you earn.

And I need you.

I do not know how to launder money

and if Finance is after me.

If you know, it's too late.

Did not you talk about a flick

who informs you?

That is mine, no one cares about that.

You talk too much. Your brother is right,

that brings bad luck.

How are we going to do it?

First set up fake companies,

for a financial bubble.

If we have all transactions in the name of

doing one business, we are caught.

We set up companies that work together

Buying and selling CO2 rights.

We offer rights from France,

and another requires the same number.

And so on.

- A carousel.

How much do you need to start?

- A million.

Euros?

- Two would be nicer, but it is possible.

Serious? How do we get that?

- We'll pick that up.

In the nightlife, in all those bars

with their coke, whores and expensive champagne.

We will make it there.

There is one rule, and that is important:

We do not talk about CO2 with anyone.

What are you doing here?

- Look at my son.

You disappeared for two weeks.

You leave the house without notice.

Do you know what that means?

I had to work.

My friends and relations money

fooling, do you call that work?

What do you plan with your two friends?

Benhamou and Zouari called.

The whole Sentier knows

that you collect money everywhere.

What did you think?

That you can fool anyone?

Nobody shoots you that money.

Do you hear me? No one.

Do you know why?

Everyone you know,

know that you never give it back.

And I tell everyone

who does not know you yet.

I'll make you a proposal:

Something you can not refuse.

That million you need,

for your mysterious business ...

I will not lend you, but I will give you.

In return, I want my grandson,

the exclusive custody of Tom.

I even double it,

when you finally disappear from our lives.

Think, Antoine.

A son who has a good memory

to you, is better ...

then a son who witnesses the downfall

where you can not escape.

Shedding shame has no price.

- Aaron, who do you think you are?

The one who has money. The only

power that is never debated.

What do you decide?

Dad, everything okay?

- Fine.

I've just seen you, I'm proud of you.

Did you see me driving?

- Yes.

It was a bit difficult with mom.

But you must know that we love you.

Are not you coming?

- No that is not possible.

I'm coming to see you soon.

Hello, grandpa.

- Hello, boy.

Mr. Vainberg? With Goldstein.

I want you to be my son-in-law

keep an eye on it, permanently.

Eavesdropping, shadows,

keep an eye on. I want to know everything.

Where he lives, what he throws away,

the color of his sh*t. Thank you.

Where are you going?

- Just smoke.

How did your son go?

- I do not want to talk about that.

My father-in-law is ruining everything,

as far as the money is concerned.

We will not get anything out of this.

- What do we do then?

I do not know.

- Should we divert him?

Redemption? What are you talking about?

Are you crazy?

I know something.

My foster friend, Kamel, can help us.

Yes? Can he take care of 1 million?

- Well 2 million, if you want to.

Call him.

- Wait a minute, guys.

Jews and Arabs do not work together.

- I'm not a Jew.

You see?

- Now satisfied?

Yes?

- I've been trying to call you all night.

I'm listening.

- I spoke to Kamel.

He wants to speak to us at three o'clock.

Are you coming?

Of course, where are you?

- Where are you?

I'm coming.

What are you going to do with that money?

- I can not talk about that.

You want 2 million and do not say why?

I want to know what happens to my money.
