Spitting out .

Water.

Gargling.

Spitting out .

Rinsing.

Towel.

Hairbrush.

Putting the hairbrush back.

Putting on a night cream.

And going off.

Lights off

Hello everyone.

This is Pips my hamster.

I've had him a year and a half now.

I just put the same tablets in his food

my mum takes for her depression.

Let's see what happens.

I really can't stand her any more

with her non-stop moaning.

She blames everyone.

Dad ran away from her years ago.

Because he couldn't stand her instant

moaning 24 hours a day.

Now she's letting it all out on me.

Alright.

It seems to be working.

She says he stinks,

but that's not true.

I always clean up his cage.

Yesterday Lise was here.

She told me your mum doesn't actually

talk to you at all.

She asks you for something,

and when you reply she does

something else or walks away.

She only talks about herself.

and nothing else interests her.

How can you stand that?

When Lise was gone,

I tried to talk to her about it.

She said I have no idea what you want.

How easy it is to make somebody quiet.

I'll call the ambulance now.

She's not stupid any more now

and knows better.

Happy End

A film by:
Michael Haneke

If you want we'll go

We will be just you and me

Near here or there

Without proper rules nor faith

When you want, you'll go

When you want, you'll go

Three days before the beginning

of the Euro football,

on Friday with the match the opening,

the blues vs. Romania.

Ten meetings will take place in our region

in Lens and Lille,

The first card will be at Bollaert

Albania and Switzerland.

Sunday, there will be Germany vs Ukraine

at Stade Pierre-Mauroy

If you do not have the chance to attend

these matches, no worries. The Fan Zone

of Lille, the fourth largest in France,

can accommodate 25,000 supporters.

Walking the road Together..

Traffic connections are good...

The highway A16 is perfectly fluid

from Dunkerque to Boulogne-sur-Mer,

There is problem for traffic.

Be careful before the highway A25

reduce the speed...

near the Chapel of Armentires

because the traffic is heavy there.

- Sh*t!

Weather with Pascale.

Temperature this Tuesday must be fair..

With some light clouds in the sky,

which give..

the impression of having beautiful weather

with that nice appearance of sun.

We will keep seeing that until the evening,

so..

So what do you think I should do now?

Should I turn around?

Because I already passed the road.

No.

Impossible!

- It's OK. I just wanted to tell you.

- So which hospital is he in?

He's here. I called Thomas. he's in Lille,

- But he was in the block.

- Yes, so what?

Are you there?

- Where?

- In the hospital!

- Yes.

- And then?

And then nothing.

They can't say anything now.

Things aren't looking very good.

OK. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jamila.

We'll clear the dishes away ourselves.

- Goodnight.

- Good evening Madame. Good evening sir.

Good evening.

It would be nice, if you could control

yourself, my dear.

What?

- Hmm?

- Mum, please!

Don't you think I have good reason

to say that?

No.

Pardon?

No, I don't think you have good reason

to say that.

What's this all about?

I'd be grateful if you could manage to

leave all your bickering..

until after the meal.

Would that be possible?

Yes.

It's not bickering. I'm worried.

I'm sorry if I'm on edge like this.

- Sorry. You know why I'm trying to say.

- Yes. I know, mum.

This morning I went into Paul's room.

He was already awake.

He gave me a big smile and said: "Daddy!"

Isn't that delightful?

That's this second word now.

Thomas will be thrilled.

It was ages ago. We flew to Kenya once,

I don't know, five or six years ago. Why?

And did you take any preventive treatment

against malaria at the time?

I can't remember. Why?

As well as the anti-depressant overdose,

the lab tests also indicated poisoning

by this type of medication.

These tablets are prescription-only.

Do you know whether she had any left

over at home?

Eve.. Do you know if mum keep

such medicine at home?

I don't know.

I'm ready.

Do you still need something here or there?

No, thank you. Everything there is OK.

I'm ready.

Do you want to join us?

No. Thank you.

Let's do. I'll come with you.

Hold on!

Good night. Sleep well.

You'll see, everything will be OK.

Don't worry either.

Good night.

Come in.

Just put your things over there.

Set yourself up.

Sorry. I've had to improvise a bit.

Tomorrow you'll get your own room. OK?

It's OK, dad.

Well..

I'll leave you alone.

Would you try to sleep?

If you need anything,

we're in the next room.

Yes.

OK.

Good night.

Good night.

- Shall I turn the light out?

- Yes.

Where's the lemon marmalade?

Good morning, Rachid.

Good morning, Madame.

Just in case you haven't noticed yet,

we had a visitor last evening.

My brother's daughter from his first

marriage will be living with us at present.

It'd be nice if Jamila come over and help

Anas to set up the room for the girl.

Of course, Madame. I'll tell her.

- As soon as I get back.

- Thank you.

And can you introduce the girl to the dog?

He hasn't met her yet.

- I will, Madame.

- Thanks.

I talked to Matre Barin,

and he thinks we should try to..

Come in.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, Rachid.

- Thank you.

- Are you well, sir?

I guess so.

Thank you.

- Have you heard, sir?

- Of what?

Here we store the materials.

It is not a work place here.

- Why did they go up then?

- To take something

- How many were they?

- Four, if I'm not wrong.

- So, it's a place of work.

- I tell you it's a deposit.

It happens that in a deposit,

one comes to serve!

How comes the toilets are over here?

What is wrong with that?

They're a deposit too. Can't it happens?

- That's enough, Pierre.

- What's the matter?

What are these questions?

You know very well that even when a deposit

is closed, we come to work sometimes.

These are questions about security,

specially on any edge of such a trench,

It was secure, the gate is closed.

They only open to pick up the materials.

Besides, nobody could have guessed

that there would be a landslide.

Nor that this idiot was going to use the

toilets which just stored here.

How can he know that they

were just stored?

Because it is a deposit here, for God sake.

Any idiot knows that, right?

Pierre, please.

Mr. Van Thamen..

I apologize, my son is very affected

by the incident.

It was obviously a chain of

unfortunate events.

Certainly, Madame.

Certainly.

Such landslide doesn't happen just because

of a guy doesn't piss where he must not.

It was like the earthquake yesterday.

There must be another reason.

That's exactly what we've been checking

since yesterday.

As you can see, the deposit was

half cleared to check the tie rods.

If you want to insinuate that we committed

negligence. Well, you need to prove it.

I'm not insinuating anything, sir,

I'm doing my job, that's all.
