Fonzy
- Mr Costa?
- Yes.
Follow me.
- Your first time?
- Yes.
When you're done, come see me.
Good morning, Diego.
Time for breakfast.
I'll go see the banks!
You owe us 50 grand!
Vile want our money!
Got 50 grand?
I'll get it!
Love and kisses, Mum.
Dad wants you.
You're 45 minutes late.
I know.
- Speed it up.
- I'm racing.
You took the van home.
You're a drag!
I said not to use it
for personal reasons.
- I know...
- But you do anyway.
Yes.
Got the jerseys for tonight?
Sure.
This is serious, OK?
First game of the season.
Have you got the jerseys?
Do you hear answers?
- Hi,
Yes, baby. Yes...
Yes, you're my priority.
Crabs!
I wasn't talking to you.
That wasn't for you, honey.
Listen to me.
Why did I knock her up?
- Diego, never have kids. Promise.
- I promise.
You bet I'm listening.
You're breaking up.
It's the connec... lo?
Damn... Your... break... up.
...all you ba...
love.
She's killing me.
Let's go.
Sorted out your debts?
I'm hopeful.
Statistically, I should get a loan
but, if not, there's plan B.
I'll need your green thumb.
My green thumb?
No one else is any good with plants.
I bought
a small hydroponic greenhouse.
You're growing pot?
Yep.
Only top-end stuff.
Tangerine Dream.
2010 Cannabis Cup winner.
The Cannabis Cup? Sh*t...
Over 30 days to bloom
for a yield
of 200 to 400g a meter.
But with a good gardener...
500 to 700g. Are you in?
Absolutely. Great idea.
On top of the stress
of the labour alerts from that hysteric.
I could use my free time
to join a drug ring
and risk being part
of a huge court case.
Is that a yes?
No! It's a no, for God's sake!
How much do you owe?
- How much?
- 50 grand.
50 grand?
If you shout it, it sounds a lot.
Diego...
I love you like a son.
I am your son, Dad.
That's why I love you like a son.
But if you don't have the jerseys...
It's the team photo.
We need them.
I have them.
Do you have them physically?
- Can you actually touch the fabric?
- Yes.
- You say yes but you mean no.
- Calm down.
It's been three weeks.
- I have them!
- He won't have them.
He doesn't have them,
he won't have them.
For sure.
Listen, I have the jerseys!
You squinted.
Check his eyes!
See that, he squinted!
Enough! Please!
Cdric!
I was stuck in traffic!
30 minutes late.
Help me out.
I need them for the team photo!
Come on then.
I swear I have the jerseys.
You swear but can you really swear?
On our mother's grave.
Leave Mum out of this.
On Dad's life.
Yeah, mm;
What can happen?
They're in the van.
I don't believe you.
Sh*t!
Wait!
Sh*t...
F***...
Sh*t...
Hiya!
You.
I'm so happy to see
Hows it going?
You've got a damn nerve.
then turn up like this?
When you love someone,
you don't just share the good times.
You have to be there
during the bad times too.
When you leave someone,
you lose that privilege.
I never left you, Elsa.
I've just been busy.
Cut the crap!
It's not crap.
I have a lot of work on right now.
We've been dating a year now
and I've never been to your place.
Why can't I come oval?
I never said you couldn't.
But termites
have wrecked my?oorboards.
OK, I get it.
We had water damage
earlier this year...
After that, we had...
fungus on the walls from the damp.
Dry rot. Like leprosy for a house.
So move out, Diego.
It takes time to get it decontaminated.
I'm hiring a drier to speed it up.
I'm pregnant.
And I'll raise it on my own.
What do you mean, on your own?
I'd rather be alone with a baby
than with a weird guy who has no life.
- I have a life.
- You don't, Diego!
You wake pregnant women
at midnight!
I didn't know...
You would
if you called more often!
One day, my kid will ask
what you were like.
I'd rather say you weren't around.
Because, deep down,
you didn't want to be.
I'm here.
- You're lying to yourself.
- No. I'm here.
Elsa, I'm...
For a fraction of a second,I was in shock.
But then the fear faded
and I told myself
it's the best thing
Tho, it's 4am.
Go back to bed!
Not in the pool.
In your bed, not in the pool.
Persuade Elsa to get an abortion.
Don't say that in front of your kids!
They knew they're too old
to get aborted.
I'm realizing...
I may well want a kid.
As a free man,
you don't want kids.
- I do.
- You don't.
Kids are...
like black holes, see.
Mini-vampires
that suck up all your energy,
your money, your time,
your hair...
- Remember my hail?
- Sure.
Look...
No hard-ens.
Cut it out, don't talk like that
in front of your kids.
Whatever I say, they never listen.
They hear nothing.
My kids don't pick up
my vocal frequency.
I'd share more with an amoeba.
Cut it out.
Believe me, Dieg.
It's tough getting a full erection.
No wood at my age isn't normal.
with a huge tent pole!
Five years age, remember?
You do.
No, I wasn't here.
Every morning,
the circus came to town.
And now...
Go back to bed, sweetheart.
No, not in the pool!
Listen...
I want a kid.
Don't reproduce,
the world's in a bad way.
I want order in my life.
So buy a ring binder.
You call this order?
Elsa!
Sorry...
Give me a second.
I'm here to tell you
I've officially decided
to get my life on track.
Diego, I'm working.
I'll convince you
I can be a father to this kid.
My colleagues don't need to know this.
Give me a minute.
I can't! We're shaking out a guy
who's growing cannabis!
Where?
Asnires.
Listen, I'll prove to you
I can be a father.
OK. GUYS. give me a break.
Come on, let's move it.
Hello, Mr Costa.
I'm Chasseigne, an attorney.
The lock was broken.
I took the liberty of coming in.
I've been trying to reach you,
Mr Costa.
Yo no soy Diego Costa.
Yo soy Carlos Jimenez
I jus' do da cleanin'.
I don't have much time
so I'll get to the point.
From 1988 to 1990,
you took part in research
for my client,
under the name Fonzy
over 14 months
in return for 47,255 francs.
Around 7,500 euros today.
- No.
- Yes.
A recent administrative inquiry revealed
that as the Valle Clinic
was short of donors.
'Fonzy' was supplied
to numerous patients,
making you the father
of several children
aged between 17 and 22.
You have excellent sperm, sir.
Thank you.
Following the inquiry,
the clinic had to issue
a consanguinity warning.
How many kids?
You fathered 533 children.
142 wish to know who you are.
They've launched a class action
to force the clinic
to reveal your name.
They'll lose under French law,
but international conventions
state that they have the right
to knew their origins.
You signed a confidentiality agreement
with the clinic.
and defend your right
to anonymity.
But the unusual nature of this case
could lead a judge
over your right to anonymity.
